[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marriux2:
Hey guys. Received my S5 yesterday and so far I am not pleased with it. I'm pretty sure that the mic is faulty, as I am getting terrible quality when on the phone. (Oddly enough when I am on speaker or using the headphone microphone, people heard me just fine.)

Furthermore, the phone won't charge! It keeps saying that there is no cable plugged in, even though it is. Even more weird, the phone is recognized just fine by my computer and I can move things around on the internal and external memory, but it won't charge. I cleaned the port and tried everything I could think of (factory reset and all that) and still no success. If it does somehow start charging, the phone goes into charging for 6 seconds and then stops. I managed to charge it about 1 percent in an hour.

Any tips on what I could do? Taking it to T-Mobile tomorrow but in the meantime I thought I might ask for suggestions or opinions, especially since right now it is hovering at 9%$ battery life and will soon die.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bzlik88:
I think if you ordered it you'll be forced to send it back for a replacement. The store will only replace it if u bought it from the store.

I had this happen to me but several years ago so idk if this is still true.

Either way good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chrisram88:
Or it could just be the charger or cable. When you connect to PC are you using same data cable? In regards to bad mic... Return it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marriux2:
Hey guys quick update. Yes I am using the same cable to charge and connect, and I also tried another cable from my Note 3 so I know that for some reason the port is the issue.

Went to the store today and was told that I had to handle the return over the phone since the order was placed online. Extremely inconvenient as I have to put up with the damaged device for a few more days, but at least they are using overnight shipping so it will be here by Monday. To anyone that might read this and got their phone online, don't bother going to the store and just call T-Mobile if something went wrong and you need an exchange.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] hypersonicx:
I plan on purchasing my HTC One M8 online at tmobile.com

It will be my first time making a purchase from the online store on tmobile.com, does anyone know at about what time will TMobile put the phone up for sale on the website?

Will it be at midnight? Or will it be around 8-9AM similar to the time retail stores open?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] epsix:
Why not just go to the store tomorrow?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] hawaiianboi:
Especially since you would have to wait for shipping
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] shook187:
No point on ordering it on line and wait for a Monday shipping. I'll be in line at the store at 10am
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] hypersonicx:
My work hours are 14 hour shifts and store will be closed by the time I get off. I work Fri Sat Sun LOL will be Monday when Im off again.

If I do over night shipping I can have it on my door step saturday if im lucky or Monday morning.

Which is why im wondering if the phone will be up for sale tonight at midnight.

Has anyone bought a 0day phone online before from tmobile.com?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] allklrnoflr:
Stores by me are all opening at 8, probably for the S5 also.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] SPreston2001:
Its not on the site yet.... 1am EST....
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Dan37tz:
Already placed my order online.

It doesn't show up on the main page, you have to log into your account, choose to upgrade or add a line and it will magically appear.

Chose the expedite shipping for $24.95 cause I can't wait, ETA is 4/14.:good::good:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] hypersonicx:
I chose Saturday delivery which was 24.99 so I hope i get it tomorrow since I will be at work all 14 hours today!

Just got back from the store they had 5 m8's i got the second one!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aboveusonlysky:
i got the first at my local store. i walked in and there were 2 people getting s5's i was like ill be the odd man out here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] hypersonicx:
This thread was for online orders and curiosity of online shipments.

Not sure how it turned into a thread about restail store orders.......
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] shook187:
My store opened at 8 am and I was 4th in line, everyone was getting a Galaxy S5. While I was waiting for my turn I was playing with the S5 demo to see I'll change my mind in the last second...No thanks...I'll take the M8, which they only had 5 in stock.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Cuppeerr:
I was the second at my Tmo store and there other person was getting a GS5, people that walked in after me were getting the GS5 and there were a couple samsung reps there. I was like y'all need to chill. The samsung rep asked me why I was getting the M8 and I was like it's 90% metal, I don't like plastic. He smiled and walked away hahahahhahaha

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cashyftw:
Woo I got one!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] verysick:
They have 5 per store, I called about 4 stores.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
I can confirm that WeakSauce does not work on this device because we don't have /system/lib/libdm-systemaccess.so on our devices.

That's okay, because HTC Dev will generate a bootloader unlock code for the device, so you can unlock the bootloader and root that way.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] allklrnoflr:
First store I went to said they didn't get their shipment in, Went down the street and picked one up!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jonnycat26:
I went to the store and they had the phone in stock, but they were giving me a hard time about changing my plan (I'm on an old value plan, which I plan on keeping). I ended up ordering online, because they were being.... not very helpful about helping a customer who didn't want a new plan.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Cuppeerr:
I'm in a tmo store right now and Samsung seriously has this place cornered. There are s5 banners everywhere and huge s5 displays.... Over in the corner there is a small HTC display with the m7 and m8. When I was here yesterday morning for the m8 everybody was buying an s5 and the Samsung reps where here promoting. They were shoving it down peoples throats lol
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] hypersonicx:
Wow, yeah, clearly choosing the M8 was a good choice over the S5 considering I had every samsung device up to this point, they just didnt add anything mind blowing this time around.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesdense:
I bought a Droid Maxx on eBay. It came rooted, running 4.4, with a locked bootloader. I got the phone a day or so too late to get in on the chance to buy a bootloader unlock code.

So, how can I protect root? I'm worried about upgrades or anything else Verizon might push down that'd overwrite root. I don't know how the phone was rooted (I assume it was rooted on 4.2.2 and then updated to 4.4 but don't know for sure). I have the paid version of Titanium Backup so if there's something I need to freeze or uninstall I'll do that. If there's a setting I can change to make sure that my phone doesn't accept an update that loses root I'll do that. I know that there's no method to re-root a Droid Maxx on 4.4 with a locked bootloader so I want to take whatever precautions I can to prevent losing root. I've read just about everything on the Motorola Droid Ultra forum and I have not found an answer to this question.

Use Titanium to freeze the app MotorolaOTA and you'll be good to go

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagadeepan:
Yes, freezing the MotorolaOTA is the way to go. You may never get updates in future (even bug fix updates). But hey, you got root in 4.4, which is good, especially when unlocking BL is impossible.

If you really want to get any update in later stage via OTA, then unfreeze the same app and unroot your phone. Then accept the OTA, but you will loose root and may never gain again.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesdense:
I found and froze MotorolaOTA using Titanium Backup, as suggested. Thank you. Now, can I install TWRP? I've read a fair amount about TWRP on this forum but I'm not confident that I'm separating what can be done with TWRP if you have an UNlocked bootloader and what (if anything) can be done with TWRP if you have a locked bootloader (as I do). All I really want to be able to do is to reboot to Recovery in order to either make a backup of my ROM or to wipe cache and Dalvik cache, as that sometimes seems to smooth out operations if an app installation doesn't go well. I would use CWM for that if necessary but on other devices TWRP is my preference. So -- if I DO have root but I do NOT have an unlocked bootloader, can I install TWRP to reliably perform those functions?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caseyk621:
If your bootloader is locked you'll need to use safestrap recovery. Basically has same functionality as TWRP as far as back ups and wiping. Just do some reading up on it. Not sure how current the attached thread is and I haven't used safestrap for this device.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] feihu989:
I have tried CHOETECH T511 before, basically speaking, this T513 is very like the T511 that they released on 2013, same carve on the pad, same smooth feeling when i touch the pad, and same led indication when connect the power source on. The LED light is smaller and less bright than T511 square version, this is a small improvement but according to the review of T511, this might compliment many buyers who want to use it in bedroom, and it has no sound beeping like the old version.

2 improvements:

1. The design is more fashion with shining silver side, add some element of metal.

2. The solution has 3 coils inside, it makes the charging area much bigger than 1 coil solution. Any place on this pad is the sweet spot so you can just put the phone on the pad and it starts charging, very convenient.

This pad seems too smooth to place the Nexus 4 like the old version, if the table is not very flat, it will slide a little bit. But it has no problem of draining battery after charging complete. And it generates less heat than most other brands, never higher than 104 °F.

Look at the CHOETECH spammers with low post counts pimping the CHOETECH brand. I actually owned one and it's very poor quality, weak solder joints , fragile plastic parts. I feel obligated to speak out against this BS hence my post.

I would hope more people here could share some unbiased opinion here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] doubleohseven:
I have the one coil version with no problems. Got it for $25 if I remember correctly so i'm not complaining.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TheAltruistic:
I owned one of their earlier devices. It wasn't bad for the price. However, compared with the official Google Nexus Wireless Charger, there were some serious overheating issues associated with the Choe.

To be specific, my device would heat up to about 50-70 C (depending on how long I'd leave it on the charger), when my device would be in deep sleep. I can't imagine how hot it'd get if I was texting or using hangouts intermittently while trying to charge it.

Also, with the choe, I found it annoying that my device slipped all over the plastic top and not easily finding the "sweet spot."
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aiiee:
You talking about me? Heh. Unbiased. LOL!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mrro82:
I've got 2 choe chargers. Can't remember the model but they work great. No over heating and placement hasn't been an issue.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
Anyone having this problem?

I got the T513 based on a recommendation that I saw in a Verizon Note 3 "Wireless Charging" thread... for the intended use of - you guessed it - wirelessly charging my Verizon Note 3. The reason it was recommended was due to the larger size of the pad (large phone needs a large pad so it doesn't fall off), and the 3 coils.

Today was the first day that I've used it at work. I put my phone on it (blue LED came on), and when it got to about 98% battery level, it seemed like the charger would turn off (LED turned off), my phone would wake up, and then charging would start again (LED came on)... and would repeat this cycle about every 30 seconds.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

It seems like my phone is saying "OK, I've had enough charging" and ending the charge connection, which is then re-activated within seconds, only for my phone to say it's had its fill again. Weird.

I really don't want it to do this. I don't mind so much at work, since the phone is in plain view, and I can take the phone off the plate when I see it start to cycle like this. However, I'm curious if this same thing is happening while I'm charging my phone at home while I sleep.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dr_Collie:
My new M8 frequently has trouble loading web pages and just hangs up. I click on a forum or a page or a message link and I get no load or a partial page load and then the phone just hangs. The phone works just fine most of the time with fast page loads, and then it goes through periods of having this problem - sometimes minutes, and sometimes much longer (hours). It happens with both Chrome and Opera. I have used this phone next to a Samsung Galaxy S4 and an Apple IPhone5. Both occasionally take a handful of seconds to load web pages, but neither takes 30 seconds or more or just fails to load.

This used to happen to my with my HTC Thunderbolt and was the primary reason I upgraded to the S4 because the Thunderbolt became unusable and I was constantly pulling the battery out to reset. I just assumed the problem with the Thunderbolt was a function of the Thunderbolt being a first generation LTE phone and insufficient network capacity on the part of Verzion. Now that it is happening with my M8 but not with other phones at the same time and place, it appears that something is wrong with how HTC phones talk to the Verizon network. As I recall, this was a known problem with the Thunderbolt.

I notice it mostly at work, where I use the web the most, and sometimes at home. At work, there are a lot of offices nearby and thus a lot of cell traffic. At home, my phone sometimes switches between 4G and 3G. Thus, both areas are subject to high traffic or weak signals. I haven't used the phone elsewhere enough to know if it happens is "normal" traffic areas.

What it looks like to me is that when I am in places where there is heavy traffic or a weaker signal, the HTC doesn't handle communication with the cell towers properly. It is like the phone either can't find the network or, more likely, it finds the network and then loses communication and traffic is juggled. Maybe the signal put out by the HTC is not strong enough or there is something wrong with its receiving circuitry???

Today, Opera displayed the following error message:

Error - Your request failed

Your browser failed to complete sending the request

IP Address [########s]

Error Code 4

Error Name Error processing request (Code 4)

Error description The request could not be fully read

I have bluetooth, wifi, airplane mode, and location off, and only a couple of apps.

I really like this phone (the M8). However, I lived through this problem for 2 years with the Thunderbolt and then did not have the problem for the past year on the S4, and I am not about to deal with it again. I am finding it hard not to conclude that I just need to return the phone.

I thought I would ask whether anyone has experienced this problem or has any idea about whether it is fixable as opposed to just a fundamental problem with HTC phones.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Might be a random app stealing all your bandwidth. Check your data usage in settings. If you can't see anything out of the ordinary, try Onavo Count or something that analyzes your data activity.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dr_Collie:
Thanks, but Chrome and Opera are the largest users of data (along with Google Play Store, which I imagine is due to the couple of apps I downloaded). There is no other significant user of data.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] del9800:
Have had same issue and at times playstore will do the same. Ive wiped davik and seem to fix problem but I was also thinking it was a connection problem coming from verizon(So. Cal). All is well now with great download(40mb) and upload(19mb) speeds.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dr_Collie:
I installed Onavo Count this morning and so far it isn't showing any apps using unusual amounts of data. Opera, Chrome and Android OS are the primary users of data.

I was in the Verizon Center today and the M8 worked flawlessly. Not surprising as I expect that Verizon supplies a good, strong signal there (it generally showed 3-4 bars rather than 5).

So, I rooted my coworkers Sprint G2 or LG LS980 using IoRoot a month ago and had TWRP installed on it. prior to doing this I had looked into what it would take to revert it to factory unrooted unmolested state. didnt seem to hard with the lgFlash tool and what not....

Well two days ago he accepted and tried to install the new OTA. he was on ZVA firmware, and I believe the new OTA was for 4.4... well the install of the OTA failed im pretty sure do to TWRP being installed instead of stock recovery. instead of stopping there and calling me he tried to fix it himself... I believe one of the things he did was to wipe the device. as in advanced wipe, select EVERYTING including system....

He gave it to me today rather pissed and asked me to fix it.

Ok, I have bee through MANY threads about reverting back to stock, and it seems I am having a serious driver issue... In my laptops device manager I can see the LS980, but it has no driver installed. I have downloaded many different versions of the LG drivers from various tutorials here and on other websites. I even tried to find them on LG.com, but no luck there.

I can get it into download mode, holding vol+ and plug in USB, but once I try to connect to it via LGMobile Support tool or LGFlash tool, they do not detect it. it tries to load three different modems, and the center one always fails. is there anyplace I can get JUST the driver, not the entire self extracting EXE files?

I was just going to copy a ROM onto the internal storage, but even using the mount tab in TWRP it will not connect to my computer.

PLease for the love of all that is sacred to XDA help me!!! I sadly do not know much about ADB... I have never really used it. at this time it is not installed and I wouldnt know what to install and how to ADB Push a rom onto the phone...

Edit, here is ONE of the tutorials I tried, but since I cannot get the proper drivers installed this hangs when I click the yellow arrow to start it....

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
okay so have you tried the following from this thread-

If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schollianmj:
Ok, I think its TWRP 6.1.3.3? Maybe 6.2.3.3... not sure. Phone isn't in front of me this second. As to the terminal command... do I type the word code first? Or is it just there as part of your sentance, type this terminal code..... yea, I'm a retard sometimes. Thanks for your help.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
I think you mean 2.6.3.3 but how knows maybe your from the future

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schollianmj:
Yea, I have been trying that method... my issue now seems to be that one of the drivers is not installing correctly. So I cannot change the device to port 41. And the app will not see my phone. When I get off work tonight and can use my laptop again I will try downloading advanced and setting that up and see if I can make it work that way. I also read the other thread that was linked last night looking for the two terminal commands to try, both the fota, and the miscellaneous command... found the commands, typed them in, and now my phone boots to the LG logo and my notification light starts scrolling through different colors. I can still get to both recovery and download mode though, so I am not giving up.

Also in that thread someone mentioned koush's generic adb drivers... I downloaded those and will try that as well.

Basically if I can just get my darn laptop to connect to this phone I think I might still have a shot at reviving it.
