i ordered the case mate naked tough..to avoid the case getting floppy! i had a capsule and baseus...waste of time after about 2 weeks
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
The ultra hybrid is not floppy. You made another bad choise in my opinion, the case mate scratches easily, the hybrid dosent
[One (M8) Accessories] Smeghead_:
How hard is the material near the power button? Is it possible to poke a hole with a sharp object, or do you actually need to drill through it with a power tool? I use the gestures to turn my screen on and off, so I'd rather just get rid of the power button cover to use the IR blaster than always remove and put it back on.
[One (M8) Accessories] kontradictions:
Actually, I've read that the IR blaster still works with the power button in place.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
It does but it's pretty inconsistent, at least for me. It's inconsistent enough that I'm considering making a hole for the IR myself.
[One (M8) Accessories] @rbiter:
Doesn't work for me. Has it been verified blaster is power button or next to it?

sent from my HTC One M8 using hofo mobile app
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
It's in the power button.
[One (M8) Accessories] Breezer23:
Their listing on Amazon mentions it breaks the IR Blaster.
[One (M8) Accessories] vcrp94:
I can unfortunately confirm, the casemate naked case came with my phone and it scratched the black part on top of the phone when taking it out :(
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
The IR blaster is on the inside half of the power button. I can reconfirm exact spot later with my IR camera if some one wants... You can also see it on one of the teardown/repair sites
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
That's why I bought the Hybrid. The naked tough looks better but it protects less and scratches more and it's also slippery as hell, from what I read.
[One (M8) Accessories] Nekromantik:
Is this better then Casemate barley there?
[One (M8) Accessories] KennyLegend:
Hi guys.. What does the back of this case feel like to hold? I have a case mate tough naked and I hate it cause the poly rear feels too glossy and too much like a tpu. Also gets sweaty and gathers fingerprints way too easy.

I also have a Slim Armor in gunmetal and I love the look and feel of it.

Last yr I had the poetic atmosphere case for the M7 and I thought that felt great too but build quality lacked.

So, "feel wise", what case would u compare the rear of this UH case with?
[One (M8) Accessories] babymatteo:
Does anyone with a Gold M8 have the Air Cushion case in Gold as well? I just ordered this case in Gold and would like to see how it would look like. Went back 13 pages and found nothing. Anyone?
[One (M8) Accessories] Knufire:
After using this about a month, it's gotten pretty scratched up. Dust also tends to get in between the case and phone and leaves small white scratches on the phone body.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
I've been using it for 2 months now and have no scratches at all. And dust dosent tend to get on the case at all. I cleaned it a couple of times only.
[Sprint LG G2] eddytheyeti2:
my phone wil boot into fastboot mode and download mode, that is all.

I have all mobile drivers installed, but ADB doesn't recognize my device.

I tried to flash the OTA, and it rebooted my phone to fastboot mode, and I can not boot into anything other than download mode

this phone is the LS980, as it is being posted in the sprint thread.

I need help ASAP!

[Sprint LG G2] pimpeinkc:
FFS whats the deal with this LG?

Okay, I need help please.... Phone been f..Ed off for like 3 days now. Had to dust the epic 4g off just to have a way to ask for help.

Here's the deal. Ls980 had twrp but after 3 days that was only thing left to change. On cwm touch now. I have wiped / formated every thing the recovery will let me. Side loaded no less than 6 ROMs 4 kernels 2 gapps and now 2 recovery 100 different ways each and watched the lg logo fade to recovery till I want to shove this phone up the next @$$ that walks by with a working phone. The flash tools and what not ain't getting it. Plus I got a f..led off hotel WiFi which wants to take 12 hours for a 2.1gb file download. My phone DLS fast as hell but not like that's doing me any good.

Pull me out this freaking pit before some school teacher walks past me in the lobby and gets a vivid picture of how big this screen really is.

Thanks. E
[Sprint LG G2] eddytheyeti2:
Thank you! My phone is back, now just have to fix a few things on it.
[Sprint LG G2] Jbcarrera:
Did you update to ZVC?
[Sprint LG G2] pimpeinkc:
nope, wish i had, the ota got me on reboot.

had something like this happen when i was trying another kernel and was able to sideload a stock rooted rom and reboot.

i have tried wiping everything and sideloading all kinds of different roms.

i am on hotel wifi and all the tot file links i try say 12 hours to download and end up failing after like 4 or 5 hours.
[Sprint LG G2] Jbcarrera:
What did you flash? It sounds like a partition changed and won't let you boot. Your only hope may be a .tot back to stock is there anyway you can get to a more reliable wifi source?
[Sprint LG G2] pitbull8265:
solution

you need to find the LGG2 .tot file, and flash it with B2C Client. I had this problem last week

Best way to describe it.... http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/dedicated-runtime-thread-art-vs-dalvik-t2516646
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sumnerm1:
I switched to ART and it took a good while to upgrade android apps, but not sure I notice a huge difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] baldwyn:
I switched and then switched back after some apps not behaving well, this xda app included.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xandlinger:
I switched but then Private Mode didn't work. So I switched back to Dalvik.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] donharden2002:
I switched to art and then switched back and during reboot my phone showed the custom with the unlocked padlock. I rebooted again and it was a normal reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
Same for me. Strange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Christopher3712:
Me too. I find the custom boot interesting and wonder if it can't be exploited.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdubya45:
Same thing here...just checked...might be something. ...Devs take notice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ExTREmE99:
ditto on the unlocked padlock when switching to ART. usually this means the bootloader is now unlocked. at least on the nexus line of phones...hmm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nizbot:
art works fine for me, however this device just doesn't seem as responsive as my nexus 5. I'm actually a little disappointed in the day to day performance. it's almost like its too aggressive with the memory management making apps cold start more often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] WizeGuyDezignz:
When I used ART, the MLB At Bat app would crash when trying to stream a game. So back to Dalvik I went lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ExTREmE99:
yea, a good chunk of apps won't run in ART mode. just search for articles on it. luckily I don't really use any of those apps, so ART on my nexus 5 and s5 are just fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] quordandis:
Same experience....switched to ART and it had 435+ apps to "upgrade" - took FOREVER, then didn't really notice any benefit...in fact, the responsiveness felt ever so slightly "stuck." Very quickly switched back to Dalvik, rebooted quickly, only had to upgrade about 250 apps, and the phone seemed snappier...could just be a placebo effect, but don't really see the point in the ART just yet....stickin' with Dalvik for now....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PuckX:
I switched to ART, phone is pretty fast as it is so visibly no noticeable difference, however utilizing a memory cleaning app/monitor it does use less of the system RAM in ART mode. Which seems like a good thing. I do have a couple of apps that occasionally crash in ART, but not enough to make it annoying yet. Just seeing how well it works, I do like the fact that it is using less system resources. Since there is not ROOT in the foreseeable future for ATT S 5's and I cannot get rid of bloatware, I will take what I can get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DXL007:
I switched to ART.. Phone ran hot actually.. didn't seem any faster.. faster battery drian...switched back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PuckX:
Ok update. Started acting weird, apps were not functioning right, phone started having random lockup behavior. Switched back, all is good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdubya45:
I am actually having no issues with ART. Thinking depends on apps yall are using. I have noticed slightly better battery life also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nizbot:
Interestingly enough, I think ART doesn't work well with TouchWiz. At least that seems to be the results of my experience. Started with Dalvik for a day, but quickly switched to ART since it ran so amazingly on my Nexus 5. After a few days with ART, I was having random lag switching between apps, the camera took a while to open and was just overall not as zippy as AOSP with ART...kinda obvious I know right? Anyways, switched back to Dalvik and things seem better overall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdubya45:
I can agree. I switched back to Davlick today. TouchWiz was a bit lagged. I noticed the camera as well; especially from the s-view cover. I loved it on the Nexus 5 as well but no big deal. Maybe improvements will come along and ill switch back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dmunjal:
Anyone try ART with another launcher? Like Nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nizbot:
Yes. Right out of the gate. So far Dalvik=better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ender200j:
I have been using ART for 2 days now.

It feels very slightly faster for me ( could very well be placebo)

But the battery life has been horrible. Like 30 minutes of use with 30 minutes of screen time and screen as 3rd highest battery use during that time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SlimJ87D:
General census, do not use art. Our phones didn't come with it for a reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdubya45:
ART is a function of Kit Kat so yes it came with our device. I opened this thread to get people's experiences using it on the s5.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morockin:
I have been using ART since day two with the phone since it helps with some of the "compartmentalized" apps that I use like Divide for work. While I can say that my phone is laggy at times when switching between apps, I had this same problem when I was using Dalvik so I am just chalking that up to usual bugs that exist in a new OS (how long do you really think Samsung tested the new TW before releasing the S5?).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SlimJ87D:
Nope, it didn't come default for a reason.

art is unstable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdubya45:
Name a device it comes standard on? Even Nexus 5 it had to be enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ExTREmE99:
works perfectly fine for me. no slowdowns. end of an 8 hour day day with wifi, a few hours of texting and chatting, reddit is fun, im at 80-90%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SlimJ87D:
That's the whole point! It is in the developer settings and not used as default or as a standard because it's meant for developers to toy around with. When it's a standard and working perfectly fine, then yes, enable it.

But right now the census point to many people reporting problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Br4nd3n:
You must realize that almost all apps are in Dalvik bytecode. Dalvik is a form of JIT compilation (Just in Time) which is not native but doesn't pre-compile anything; making it less memory extensive but causing longer load times. ART uses AOT compilation (Always on Time), which is faster for android because it's native, however it translates Dalvik into a system dependant binary (pre-compiling the entire app) which makes it load a lot faster but it also slightly more memory extensive.

Older devices with less memory benefited from Dalvik, while ART is more practical in today's use since our phones have so much memory.

AndroidPolice had awesome benchmarks for Android 4.4, I attached an image of their benchmarks. You'll notice CPU had a huge benefit in ART but memory did not, and was slightly worse.

ART is still experimental and may have problems translating and pre-compiling some apps, which is why you will experience crashes and bugs; though some will function fine. Samsung has even said ART is to be used with caution on their TouchWiz due to all the applications being Dalvik bytecode.

Did that answer everyone's questions? Lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tabascoz28:
http://thedroidguy.com/2014/06/confirmed-next-version-android-use-art-default-runtime-94022

Probably better to wait for Lolipop and samsung to develop a rom built for ART. I'd rather have everything work when I need it to than to have it crap out at an inopportune moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gabriel_dream:
I can confirm a better battery life with around 30%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Philaphlous:
If you have recently updated the delvik and cache from Qualcomm you will find out that art is slightly slower than delvik. Before I was getting consistently 30k in antutu with my Nexus 7, now with ART I'm looking at anywhere from 26k to 28k... It is a slight decrease but that Qualcomm update increased antutu scores by 6k for me... In the real world, app scrolling and opening apps seems to be much quicker. I have a better screen response to my touches and ART overall feels better in everyday use. I'm sure as its implemented here more in the next year or so we will see performance improvements that leave delvik behind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Krunk83:
I am rooted and the S5 will not switch to ART. It just reboots and that's it. It never rebuilds and when I check it again it is still on Dalvik. Must be some issues with swtiching while rooted. Anyone else experiencing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
Do you have xposed installed? It will revert it back to dalvik
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Krunk83:
Ah. Yes that is it. Thank you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dbodom:
ART works fine on my S5 Active. Rooted, multiple apps frozen by TiBU, no xposed. Noticeably faster on app launch and the battery life has improved. I use ART on S3 and my Note 10.1 without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Martinjv71:
So I understand that you have to remove Xposed to convert to ART. Can u reinstall Xposed after the conversion is completed or do you just have to completely not use it if you have ART?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Waiting4MyAndroid:
I have a similar setup as yours, except using App Quarantine instead of TiBU. Also I have Root Browser, Root Checker, SuperSU, and AdAway installed. After I switch to ART, Device Status becomes CUSTOM instead of OFFICIAL! Does the same happen to your S5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dbodom:
Mine says OFFICIAL. Reboot a few times and see if that changes back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sarcokiller:
How you can get ART on s3 or note 10.1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dbodom:
Used a custom ROM on both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sarcokiller:
Yeah but not on TouchWiz based rom... you are running aosp right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dbodom:
Used S3Rx 3.0 Touchwiz ROM on the S3 and OmniROM on the Note 10.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ustahl:
Could not switch to ART after completely uninstalling Xposed on my rooted SM-G900F with XXU1ANG2. It only rebooted, running Dalvik like before. :(

So I reinstalled Xposed and keep running Dalvik until Samsung's Android update arrives, god knows when... :rolleyes:

Hello, fisrt I read the similars others thread and I didn't find my answer.

I have my Nexus 4 since february 2013, so I have lots of data and apps which can't be saved even with adb backup (Rovio Games, GTA 3, Jetpack, Rayman, Sonic, etc.). So I don't want to lose it. However, I need to root my N4 for titanium Games backup, Xposed Framework, busybox...

I have learnt that there is a manip to unlock bootloader without wipe BUT (it's from 2013 so) I didn't find if it still works on 4.4.2 (KOT49H) with the bootloader MAKOZ30d. Please quickly answer me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You unlock the bootloader, put a custom recovery on, and then root. Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do if you're rooted our not.

Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device. no way to get around that

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankurcul:
First of all you shpuld follow forum rules. I had same query and opened a post and then you had done the same thing. U should post the question in previously asked same question.

Regarding your problem, it can be 3g or 4g which can make the phone hot. In some cases rom/kernel(not complaining or saying any rom/kernel is bad and should not be used) can make the all 4 processors to work at full potential.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rembi:
The power of S4 Pro: F It can change the kernel? + Appropriate setting in trickstermod should solve this problem ;) Personally, I sit on ParanoidAndroid 4.2 + AK127 (longer version of the 205, I would recommend.) The phone is quite cold, as no nexus.

Hi,

How do I get into the diag mode of this phone? I googled and googled until I could search no more!!

I tried ##diag# and some other codes but none is giving me the option.

I need to be able to connect the phone to the PC and see it in DFS, CDMA, QPST. None of these see the phone usb port now.

Please help. Thank you!

Sprint Kyocera DuraXT E4277
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr. Q 5:
Well, I figured it out!

After all this headache of looking for the DIAG menu on the DuraXT.. It turns out that its not needed.. all I had to do is install the drivers on PC and connect USB cable.. Select Modem on phone and DFS was able to read it.

Now I am another problem.. I need the 16 digit device password and the only thing I see on google is that its all F's (FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) but that is not correct.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thelastemperor24:
Does anyone know how to find the SPC/MSL for the DuraXT E4277? The memory is unreadable, completely locked from reading.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] billa:
Unfortunately Kyocera phones do not use 16 digit passwords, only Samsungs do. If you're trying to repair the esn/imei or unlock it, don't even waste your time, there are no specialized tools available for those tasks, other than reading the user lock, nam, etc via DFS/CWS or other similar cdma tools. But you'll probably need the SPC/MSL which may be gotten from Sprint by pretending that you need the code to factory reset it through the ##786# menu. Kyocera phones have always had elusive security, including full memory lock. Just chalk it up as a "No Can Do" ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] drsox:
Morning all.

I have had my T-Mobile MDA Compact for just over a year now.. and its the first problem I have had.

Until this morning...

I got to a customers.. turned my MDA off.. and it didnt go off.. it just sat with a blank screen.. no backlight and "Start" in the top left.

After a lot of soft resetting.. nothing changed.

I have now done a Hard reset.. (lost everything) and still have the same problem.

The weird effect seems to be.. 20 seconds or so after the phone has booted and if I am not on a call.

IE.. I can call out... and turn the phone off and on as much as I like.. works fine.. as soon as I hang up and do it.. I get the same problem..

Blackight goes off and the entire unit freezes.

Very weird.. Does anyone have any ideas?

The next step later this evening will be to re-flash the phone.

Please help :)

Sprung to mind that I had not tried removing the SD card I had in the beast.

Removed it and it seems to behave itself.

The SD card was used early this morning in my HP iPaq to play an mp3... weird that it now causes my MDA to hang.

Presume the HP corrupted it and it needs formatting.
