[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] otariq:
Don't have a speaker problem but just noticed a defect on the top speaker right below the camera. The covering is coming off slightly and isn't level with the screen. You can tell the glue isn't very strong it pushes back in and then come s right back when you remove your finger. Gonna try to get it replaced from T-Mobile. You have 14days to get a replacement I highly recommend doing it if you're not satisfied.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] shook187:
No crackling on my speakers. I've heard several people having this issue with the M8 from other carriers. I would definitely take it back and exchange it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] soccerdude288:
Yea thats what I figured I would do. I found a video on YouTube of a guy claiming a toothbrush could fix it, doesn't work! Now the only problem is finding a store in my area that has them in stock!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
I just picked up mine yesterday and it has the same issue.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] soccerdude288:
I'm glad to know its not just me! My friend has the Dev version and the difference between the two is very noticible. However it isn't terrible if the volume is under half, so until I can get a new one that's how its going to stay
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
Took mine back to the store. They tried the demo phone and got the same results. So I'm waiting on my replacement. Unfortunately if its the same, I might have to switch to the s5
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] BACARDILIMON:
The store you took it back to should issue the replacement
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
They're waiting for another shipment. Both stores in my area sold out.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aimfire72:
Same issue here, pretty annoying. Going to take it back later today, but not sure if I'll be able to get an exchange - as others have mentioned, most stores are sold out. Pretty lame of HTC, now I'll have $636 burning a hole in my pocket for the next week or so - 636 that could go towards an S5 or something. :/

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

I have about a dozen stores in my area, all are sold out. One guy told me they only got like 5 of them in, wtf.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] soccerdude288:
My store finally got some in! Walked in, put it on the desk, the lady said "Speaker Problem?" ran to the back, got me a new one and I was out in 10 min. New device works great!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aznsephyi:
Would you describe the defect as a constant metallic grating sound in the background of songs and whatnot?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aimfire72:
Yeah I'm on my 3rd one and it finally seems to be OK. The hard part is finding a store that has them in stock or admits they have them when you tell them you want to do an exchange. :/

Anyways, one the sales guys told me they've had a lot of S5's coming back too, due to various misc issues.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] soccerdude288:
Ummm... i would put it very close to the noise my car speaker made when it was recently blown... Again only coming out of the top speaker when it was turned up. It just sounded like a rattle... The one thing that I really noticed it on was MKBHD's review on the Dot Cover Case. 10 seconds into him talking it had already sounded crappy. Thats the video I used to reference my new one.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aznsephyi:
Yup, basically sounds like my problem. Looks like I'm going in tomorrow for an exchange. Thanks!

Speaker volume, troubleshooting steps?

I compared the speaker volume and quality of my HTC one M8 speakers with my Samsung note 2 and found out the volume level of both the devices was more or less the same, but the HTC offered a little more bass.

The sound is very less at 50% volume level and drastically increases after 80%-100%

I am not sure if the speakers of my device are up to the mark. How do you guys troubleshoot the speakers sound? Any specific method or just relying on ears?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] soccerdude288:
Ive just been going off of my ears... Again depending on what I was listening to it was sometimes hard to hear. But I used MKBHD's review of the Dot Cover case to go off of. I could tell in the first 10 seconds.

1 year warranty

Just wanna remind you guys that tmobile has a 1 year guarantee on any phone you purchase from them, so even if you're past your 14 days you can still call customer service and get them to send you a replacement. The only thing the 1 year warranty doesn't cover is physical damage like a broken screen/body or water damage. I've had tmo for over 10 years and have gotten a bunch of replacements on phones that developed issues.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] amchandr:
I am having this crackling, popping, static annoying, irritating, hurting noise during call... actually mine is at&t.. I bought two of them and they had the same issue.. Also lot other issues highlighted in various forums (like bluetooth, battery life, etc)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] adezd00:
Bunk!

The same thing happennd to me with the m7, I got 4 replacements until I finally gave up. I was hoping it was fixed with the m8. Glad I bought the xperia z1 instead. It sucks, it could be such a great phone. I would swap it out for something else before it's to late. I love the xperia s far, best of luck to you.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
Ok. For those of us who have this problem and are rooted and s- off is there any way to get the t mobile version back to stock? I'd like to get it replaced. My top speaker sounds as if it's blown also. This stinks. But my battery life is amazing. Lol

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KoolBurnX8:
I've been struggling with getting a ROM properly working, and it looks like because both TWRP and CWM aren't wiping properly. I looked up how to properly do a wipe, so I went into TWRP 2.7.0.1, Advanced Wipe and selected

-Dalvik Cache

-System

-Cache

-Data

The main error I get is this error and the wipe fails:

E:Unable to mount '/system'

E:Unable to mount '/cache'

E:Unable to mount '/modem'

So I tried to mount them manually, but it wont let me select those partitions.

I thought it was TWRP, but CWM 6.0.1.0 does the same thing because of the mount problem. I've already unbricked/went back to stock 3 times using RSD Lite 6.1.5. These errors are preventing me from restoring both backups I have from internal and external SDs. I've also tried go through FASTBOOT by using this command:

-fastboot erase system

But then it tells "permission denied". I'm using Windows 8.1 and changed the permissions in my fastboot folder. So now I only have access to fastboot or recovery.

Another thing i've noticed is that sometimes TWRP would crash and restart in the middle of a restore or wipe. I reverted to 2.7.0.0, this would still happen.

I've searched and searched but can't find anything to help with my issue. Like i've said before, I already returned it to stock rom 4.1.2 three times. What else can I do to properly wipe so I can flash a rom without any problems?

[RESOLVED]

For those who might have the same problem, i'm leaving the post as is. Here's what I did:

-Went into FASTBOOT and loaded an older version of TWRP. In this case, I flashed version 2.3.3.1(in other cases, I've had to use 2.2.2.2)

-Did a Wipe/Factory Reset(Do it 3 times to be safe)

-Dalvik/Cache Wipe(3X)

-System Wipe(3X)

-Reboot to FASTBOOT and flash back to the newest version of TWRP(2.7.0.1)

-Flash your ROM and make sure to Flash the correct compatible gapps

-Voila, everything should be good to go
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xavi96end:
The fix you have here worked for me, so thank you. however, i feel like we were both lucky to get this to work, and i doubt that we could recreate the issue exactly and fix this once again, for every time i try and flash a rom i encounter mounting errors everywhere, and they seem to be completely random. jumping from mounting /data, to /system, and even internal storage. this; on both twrp and cwm.

nonetheless, this post was of great help. i really appreciate you taking your time to edit the post. thank you again:)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kolmeck:
Thanks so much! Had the same exact problem and your resolution worked like a charm! :good:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KoolBurnX8:
I'm glad it was of some use to you guys, I spent about 3 days with a soft bricked phone because I couldn't find anything useful on why ALL the ROMs I flashed would be so buggy. Of course it was because the recoveries I werent wiping all the way. Anyway, I recently had a less serious and related issue with wiping again, and went to an even older version of TWRP 2.2.2.2. I'm really not sure why it happens, but it gets the job done.:D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I've posted about this issue in the TWRP thread. Not sure if the latest official TWRP has been updated - but I posted a test version that works really well - others have reported the same.

Hopefully an official version which has the fix will drop soon. Otherwise, my test build of TWRP is fine, I'm still using it.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] dlipford370:
Hey all,

So I successfully rooted my phone, and then I was going to go into recovery reboot mode to install a downloaded rom. I'm not sure what did it, but on that restart I got LG Security error. I first attempted on three different computers to do LG Mobile Support Tool. It stopped everytime when it was going to begin downloading the files. I'm pretty sure if I still had the Security Error image, I would be fine, because I now know of ways to bypass the LG Support Tool, and edit the host file, and then get it downloading.

Either way, in my research after no success with LG Mobile Support Tool, I came across Fastboot. So I got fastboot, I got the drivers installed, but I'm pretty sure my problem was, on the command prompt screen when Fastboot asks' you questions I said yes on them. I believe this is what caused my phone to have the black screen. It will not go into S/W upgrade mode now. It will not do anything, just black screen. I found a tutorial over on Android Forums, and with using Fastboot, I was able to sucessfully flash "p4_769.img" According to that tutorial, after doing that I should have a dead android guy logo, and then just be able to hard reset... but that didn't change anything. Still have the black screen. Still won't go into S/W Upgrade mode.

Now according to what I've read, the next step would be to flash KDZ Afresh...I've looked for this, whatever it is, specific to my model phone, but I can't find anything. If anyone else has any ideas, I would love to hear. I'm so frustrated at this point. Very much appreciate any help. Thank you.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] dlipford370:
It sounds like now what I have to do is, using how I flashed that recovery img, I first should flash the x and uboot.bin files to my phone. Then I will be able to get into S/W mode, and then restore from there. I just have to find these bin files. I don't have a friend or anyone nearby with the same phone as mine that can:

adb shell su -c busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/external_sd/p2.bin

with theres.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vacaloca:
It would seem so, yes. In re: max charging amps, it seems that the S5, much like the Note 3, will charge only at 1200mA while the screen is on and 1800mA otherwise. See discussion here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...48184-galaxy-note-3-max-charging-current.html

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
I would like to create a file of icons from programs that run from the sd card, so that those icons can be placed in main memory, and then the links reference that icon file. That way a program that resides on the SD card can have a link in main memory which specifies a main memory icon, and that icon will appear on the start menu (programs on the start menu don't usually have icons).

I have read a fair bit about this without finding out how to do it. Icon_viewer let me see the icons, and identify their number, but I need to strip them out and put them in a dll or exe. This would also make phm_traylnch work better, by creating shortcuts that have their own icon files, so that large programs which aren't being opened don't need scanning for the icons. Indeed, if the links to large files in /Windows/Start Menu/ specified their icons in a file that contained only icons, wouldn't WM5 start up faster?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Firstly which rom are you running? - I had that problem with my old pre-aku2 rom using phm traylaunch but has now gone running aku2 rom.

Icons from storage card appear with no delay, also start menu startup is swift. (plus maybe its my fast min-sd card as well!)

If you really want to experiment try res hacker http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ it does work on wince progs as well. You can remove/change icons using this program.

For large exe's I found upx compressing the executable made a world of difference to icon refresh/update. see here http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=49990

2.24

I'm running Xelencin's 2.24 T-Mobile customization. I have an alternate solution for PHM_Traylnch, using SKSchema to run traylnch after 20 seconds, making sure the SD card is available.

I have an A-Data 2GB miniSD; it was the only 2GB available when I bought my MDA. It hasn't given me any trouble but probably isn't super fast.

I don't mind my startup time at all, as it is much faster, but I do have some large programs on the miniSD.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll try UPX -- it sounds great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
I've written long posts about this before, and it caused me to write my program VJBrisk.

The way to do it is to create an Icon DLL, and then use modified shortcuts pointing at custom icons in the dll. This will speed up boot time, start menu population, SmallMenu/GSPocketMagic etc, and prevent blank icons loading from SD Card.

I recommend downloading Microangelo on the PC.

Load your target icon .exe into Microangelo librarian.exe.

Click each (or all) icons, and save as .ico.

Modify icons if necessary in Microangelo Studio.

Next, (easiest way) is to start with the PHM Icon library dll. Load into librarian. Rip out all existing icons (optional). (Harder way is to create a blank resource dll in Visual Studio etc).

Drop in your extracted .ico files.

Save the dll, copy to PPC, and smile.

For hints (for beginners) on modifying shortcut icons for files and folders, search against my username for the word "completeness".

I do this for my today screen icons.

Thanks, I am very impressed with all of your programs! Also, thanks for the tip on searching; if one can't find an unusual word, it is difficult to find the right thread, because so many unrelated threads turn up.

Unfortunately, microangelo seems a little steep for the minor purpose to which I am putting this, especially since I already have a solution that works ok using skschema.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
Microangelo is very useful for all icon work in my experience. But you can do all of this for free with a Resource Hacker (or Visual Studio, or many other apps):
