[HTC Rezound] Huachipato:
It is different - but I like it. The screen is beautiful. The interface is different - not bad or good - just not what I'm used to. I do like the home button though - long press to get Google Now and double press to get S-Voice. There are quite a bit of Samsung apps that I'm enjoying. S-Health is nice, but there is a widget that shows how many steps you have taken in the day - and for some reason it motivates me to walk more. The Smart Remote is very complete - including remote codes for my WD-Live box and drop down for every room I have in the house. There is another app call BeepNGo - where you can put all your club/membership cards on (Tom Thumb, AutoZone, etc...). The screen will show the bar code and it can be scanned at the register. There are coupons in that app as well.

NFC actually works. Verizon activates ISIS - which is like Google Wallet. There are deals on it and where it can be used. Google Wallet works as well - which is nice. I've heard in the past that Verizon locked it down - so it is nice to see it up and running.

Camera is absolutely amazing IMO. It struggles a bit in low light, but it really is a champ everywhere else. The software allows you to download more picture taking options - including now the sphere mode. The effects sometimes take a little time to correct - but at least the camera works to it's fullest (yes - taking a little jab at ReZound camera issues in Kit-Kat)... ;)

Everything I wanted in a phone - it has it. I managed to drain the battery one day of really heavy use - but otherwise the battery does a great job. I'll be getting a spare at some point.

The root is still not found - and as a result I'm missing the native WiFi Tether - which was really cool to have on the ReZound. There is a way to get the connection using the USB cable and PDA+Net software - but it really is a backwards hack to get it up and running.

A lot of people complain about the look & feel of the phone. Quite honestly - I don't care for - the first thing I did was buy a case for it. If I had the M8 - I'd do the same thing. I will always want a cover to keep the phone from getting scuffed and better protect the screen and camera lens.

Bottom line - I like the phone a lot. I'm not going to trade the replaceable battery for the ability to root (which I feel is the current trade off at the moment).
[HTC Rezound] sdsubball23:
Thanks for your feedback.

How is the data and voice reception compared to the Rezound? I've been thinking about getting the S5, but I don't want reception issues, especially with data because where I work, the overall phone reception is less than other places, but my rezound does ok at work depending on where I place myself.
[HTC Rezound] Huachipato:
It's about the same. Maybe slightly stronger, but not much of a difference.

[HTC One X] Buttpirate:
I have recently updated my HTC one X to the latest CyanogenMod, after I flashed the rom the phone keeps rebooting endlessly

I have been looking for the past few days for a fix, this is my last resort, I've tried the following:

Attempt 1:Install an original ROM

Problem: doesn't go past htc logo, I tried erasing the cache before, as this was a common fix for it, I get "error:remote not allowed" (this happens when I try to erase any file recovery, boot ect.) so I tried a different path...

Attempt 2:use an RUU

Problem: not able to source an RUU that is newer (3.14.980.27) and attempting s-off, from what i could fine, required a working ROM

Attempt 3: load another nandroid backup onto the SD partition, one that is new.

Problem: Using CWM my computer won't detect the SD when mounted nor will adb detect the device whilst in recovery, I then tried TWRP, this resulted in "E: unable to open lunfile: (no such file or directory)" so that was out...

Attempt 4: push the nandroid file to the device using adb and then use CWM or TWRP to install the nandroid backup

Problem: only the file would be transferred and none of the juicy usable bits that I needed.

As you can see I'm a fair bit of a NOOB, and out of ideas so if you think I have done something wrong or have gotten close with one of these steps and just need to do it a bit differently please tell me and I can go into more detail on how I cocked up. I have tried these steps on 2 other computers with a huge range of usb cords as well.

If anyone can help, I would be a very happy person

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cman6453:
Was having the same issue and solution (use HTC's native messaging app). I just tried the fix that nycebo suggested and it worked. BUT, sending a pic was pretty slow. So slow that I thought it was going to fail (same symptom as when it was failing to send). Eventually it went thru and I'm also able to receive pics.

Hopefully, this resolves group messaging which is basically MMS as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayr04:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tct08:
Turns out the culprit actually was wifi calling? I turned that off and now I can send mms.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewnelson:
Yes you can. there is no problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cman6453:
As I mentioned earlier, group texts are handled as MMS's. Last night the M8 was put to the test. Had an issue come where the wi-fi was partially to blame. Group text consisted of 6 people with a sprinkling of pics attached. Some of their texts and pics were getting thru while some weren't. I was on wi-fi and there is a 4-5 bar LTE signal in my area. Wi-fi calling is set to cellular preferred. Not only did some of the texts not come thru but the ones that didn't were also separated out from the group thread. I hit the download link and nothing. No error message. Nothing. Just went back to "Download message". Granted this was on the locked APN. I switched to the custom APN. Still nothing.

This worked before so I try again. I turn off the wi-fi. BAM. All the texts of the separated out people start coming thru AND they get put back into the thread.

So yes, the culprit is wi-fi but I've had wi-fi on on my Note 3 and this was never an issue. Also, in the middle of the group texts, I swap the sim into my Nexus 5 using Hangouts with wi-fi enabled and there was no problem there.

I think the root cause is the way HTC's Android implementation is handling the switching between wi-fi and the carrier network. Seems to me the message should try sending via wi-fi and if that doesn't work use carrier network. I don't know enough about the protocol to say this is for sure the case but that seems to be a logical explanation.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] over88mph:
Curious if this is still a problem.

I am getting a GPE this week, but I need to be on wifi only at work all day and get MMS/group MMS

GPE doesnt have the option to use stock messaging (I assume Hangouts only, which I have seen has known issues MMS via wifi)

Will I be able to get MMS/group messaging on wifi only (wifi calling enabled) ?

Use Textra until Hangouts gets this working ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bhiefer:
Hi, I have a quite specific request. You certainly know that Google now restricts access to external storages - they are read-only. It is quite common issue on devices with Kitkat and two more external storages. Custom roms developers workarounded this and sd cards are read-write. But I am an app developer and I don't have any device where I can test the Google's restriction. Is there any 4.4 ROM where I can make the external storage read-only? I.e. on external storage, that the only writable directory for my application will be it's application dir in /Android/data/com.foo...

I tried Cyanogenmod 11 and tried to edit /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml because everybody advice to add group gid="media_rw" to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to make SD card writable. So I thought that reverse action (i.e. removing the groups) will make it read-only. But there is nothing to remove :( .. it doesn't contain this group.

So I tried to change the permissions directly but SD cards use FAT and permissions cannot be changed.

Could you please help me? I would appreciate any advice. I really would like to have a device where I can test this stupid Google's restriction. Thank you !

I was on the the CM11-20140412 and everything was working, but this morning i tried the 20140415 release.

I have the following bugs:

- Home button doesn't work anymore

- I haven't notifications, juste the sound of new notifications

- I can't lock my phone whith PIN Code, when my phone start it asks the sim card pin code and an other pin code to unlock the phones.

But after this, when i push the power button to go to lockscreen it doesn't ask my any code.

I tried this:

- Go back the 20140412 release ===> KO, same bugs

- Wipe cache&Dalvik ==> KO, same bugs

- Go back to M5 Snapshot, KO, same bugs

- Go back to M4 Snapshot (which was the most stable nightly in my opinion) => KO, a lot of "force close"

- Now i'm back on the 20140412 nightly

Can you help me ? I guess i have to try a factory reset, but first do you any advices ?

Hello all,

I worked a long time with the HTC Sensation, tested roms up till the last ones here on the forum, but finally he doesn't work anymore (even no charging light with different battery's).

So it was time finally to switch to Samsung as it's the producer of most Android phones, so most support, roms,...

I haven't followed this Samsung forum section yet, which are the newest & stable roms at the moment that you can recommend ?

PS : i like that startscreen with news / facebook / agenda... in squares, a bit windows 8 like news overview (I don't know how it's called), is this also in a recent rom or where can i find the apk file ?

I think I will receive the Samsung next week with the old Jellybean Android rom.

Bought it for +-€200 second hand in excellent condition, don't want to pay laptop prices of €400-€500 for the S4/S5, as long as it's fast enough, 4G and HD screen i'm satisfied :)

My friend recommended the LG Nexus 5 of €300 (better than the Iphone) but that's again 1/3 more expensive.

Thanks for any tips!!!

[LG Optimus G Pro] colddecked:
I was in the same situation as you, im in the philippines and recently picked up a f240l. The easiest way to fix it is rooting, then install cwm (remember to backup), and flash the v5 g2 apps rom, then baseband. This basically converts our f240 to e988. I highly recommend that as a starting point. You can.find all the instructions here on xda or you can check out the g pro section over at optimusforums.com. Good luck.
