I am looking for a program, setting, tweak..etc to disable any data service on the Wizard that costs money.

I want to keep Wifi, bluetooth, IR, but I think that is all.

I want to shut off EDGE and stuff like that.

I just got my Wizard and I don't want to accidentally connect using EDGE and get charged money.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bendog2784:
couldnt you just remove all the connections?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SomeAznPunk:
Oh, how do you do that?

I mean, I still want to use Wifi, but I don't want the Wizard to try to connect to Edge.

I just got scared once, when my Wifi went down and the Wizard showed a box that said connecting to EDGE or something.

I would hate to see a $100 monthly bill because I accidentally used a data service.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kyphur:
It is so simple:

Call your service provider and tell them to block data for your device. You see GPRS/EDGE by default is set-up as "Pay per Use" unless you select a package. If you tell them to block GPRS Data you will see a little "X" with the two arrows next to your signal strength bar.

Once this is done there is no way you can use any GPRS/EDGE without calling and reactivating it.

I owned original One, but battery was horrible. I switched to G2 and battery is the best I've had. On m8 how is battery? Did they improve it? I work at a homeless shelter and sometimes work overnights. When I do I'm basically on wifi all night. G3 is coming out with same battery but bigger screen so I'm anticipating it to get less screen time.

Sent from the BEST phone I've ever owned my LG G2
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sitlet:
There is probably at least 10 threads that already talk about battery life. But I'll give my 2 cents. I leave home at 9am and don't get back until midnight. With my previous phone, it would be dead by about 2pm (I'm a heavy user). With this phone, I've never once had to charge during the day, even when I'm working in basements with no signal at all. I've never gotten home at midnight with less than 30% battery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
ive had both the G2 and now the M8. I think the G2 is still better (mAh is higher) but very comparable. Unless you're cutting it close (<10% when you go to charge your G2), then the M8 will suffice for battery life.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
Battery is amazing due to 801 chip. Beats my note 3. Read some reviews - they'll say battery life is amazing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
beats the note 3? i had that phone as well and i dont think i could beat it with the m8. that thing lasted forever
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
Mine had 4-5 hours on screen time. With the m8 I always get more than 5.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Izeltokatl:
Battery life is the best I've had on any android device to date. I'm happy.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verdigo:
I start the day off at 100% and goto work for 8 hours. I get a 30 minute lunch and 15 minute break which I usually browse the news and websites. At the end of the day I only used 2%. My HTC ThunderBolt would of normally been around 45% remaining at this time. Recently I was stuck at family's and watched the latest FRANKIEonPCin1080p video and a couple JackFrags videos on youtube with a bunch of browsing. ~an hour and a half and used about 15-20% from 100.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
I'm at 24% right now with 5h 11m screen-on time over LTE. I've been using it very heavily and I'm projecting a total screen on time of 6h 45m.

This is with power saver mode enabled which I completely recommend. This phone lasts equally as long (on power saver) as my GS3 did with the OEM 3000mah extended battery.

It's pretty good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ryant100:
I don't think it can beat note 3 I'm at 32% with about 13 1/2 hours 29% screen on and like 20% Pandora and the other games and so on

DOWNLOAD:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5c3gpyMBJusRzkzd2FTanVsNmM/edit?usp=sharing .

INSTALLATION / UPDATING:

-From the above download link, you'll get a 'recovery.img' file.

-Put that file at the root of sdcard (means, not in any folder)

-Now, open Terminal Emulator and give this command:

su

You'll be asked to grant superuser permissions, grant them.

-Now, give this command:

flash_image recoveryonly /sdcard/recovery.img

And wait for 2-3 seconds until it jumps to a new line. Now, close Terminal Emulator.

-Now, normally reboot to recovery and enjoy new recovery!

[Samsung Galaxy 551 Callisto] steve8x8:
I had been using CWM 6.0.5.3 with CM11.0 on my Callisto for a while, but since virtually every other phone of mine runs TWRP, I gave it a try.

I installed the recovery.img as suggested, via adb shell.

I was able to boot into TWRP, and backup my whole phone - I had planned to upgrade the ROM. While that failed (fs size too big), I tried to go back, so I restored the whole set and rebooted into system...

... only to see TWRP again. There was no way out - I had to flash CWM again, and reboot into that, then reboot system. Now everything seems to be fine, but I'm hesitant to touch TWRP again.

What may have happened, causing the system boot to immediately (no boot animation) hand over to TWRP? boot.img wasn't affected (fortunately), otherwise flashing CWM over TWRP wouldn't have helped in an instant.

Puzzled... Should I try 2.6 instead?

Sorry to hear that you are still dealing with this problem.

When I get time, I'll try to look into contacts.apk or in some other system .apks

Im not sure whether that's where we'll get our answer. But I feel so.

Because, last time I was decompiling system.apk from myVision, I got T-mobile something for apns, may be thats the reason, it wasnt able to automatically download Data settings for other regions.

Similarly, your problem might have similar issues.

Anyway, whats wrong in trying... :D

So, ill try to have a look.

By the way can you say where are you located and your carrier.

You can PM me about that.

Thanks...

i want it works with this rom [ROM][09/03/14] AlterNdromadus CM10.1 | Android 4.2.2 [STABLE] sim card work,i can make call but the rom can't read/write access sim card, i use FREE, a french carrier. I don't have this problem with rom based on stock,i don't know if it cause by phone.apk, contacts.apk or boot.img or something else.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arunal_123:
So, I have been through contacts.apk from cm10.1 (AndroidManifest.xml)

Nowhere I could find import from sim. Where else in stock roms and sense roms, you'll find ImportSIMActivity and an action ” android.intent.action.IMPORT_SIM_TO_MYPHONEBOOK”

And similar activities.

But in bools.xml of cm10.1 ”config_allow_sim_import” is set true. And in (stock rom's) bool.xml this whole line isnt present.

They have instead defined import from sim in AndroidManifest.xml

Sorry, I am unable to explain, you'll understand once you go through that.

What I mean to explain here is that, stock roms are company based and they mod Android for world wide sales.

Hence, you are able to read write in stock roms.

Im not sure, but may be, if we could mod this .apk and declare importing of sim directly in AndroidManifest.xml then we might get read write in CM roms for your French sim.

Please this is just a theory. I may not be right.

But as people says, ”Its always worth trying than to sit and bear what you dont like...”

Thanks...

And I know there are Apps in play store that can read/write to and from sim.

But as far as I know thats not your option.

Last time one of my friend had a similar problem. With an app like dialer or contacts something from playstore was able to read/write to sim.

So, all I want to say is, I can conclude that its definitely related to CM contacts.apk

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeznuts:
No issues here since device came out. Have a uconnect setup in my car and stream everything from my phones BT to the vehicle's BT. My old device did that often, had an older version of BT though I think? I've yet to have issues, sure maybe 1-2 times every week a song might skip a beat but not at all on the regular. If it's a regular occuranxe it could be a bad connection. I would then delete the profile and link from scratch the vehicle and phone's BT.

Also while listening and if it gets bad. Stop the BT connection, then reconnect. Sometimes a reconnection is better than your previous and skips go away. I just turn BT off on my device, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on and let the 2 connect. Try this and the above, those 2 methods should work if not one or the other.

I get static issues if someone calls me while I am listening to bluetooth audio, and then switch back to music. Usually switching to the radio and then back to bluetooth audio resolves this.

I used to have the issue with HTC One M7 and Galaxy S4 in my Renault Medianav, but no such issues with the One M8,.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcox1124:
I can semi- validate this issue. I have three Bluetooth devices. My headset for phone calls will get some static if my M8 is also connected to my HTC Stereoclip, but goes away as soon as I'm out of range of the Stereoclip. Because of this, and the fact my Stereoclip runs on battery and often fails to disconnect after I leave car mode, I tried switching out my Stereoclip for the RocketFish Bluetooth Music Receiver.

Now, I don't get the static, but when streaming music through the RocketFish, it skips every 20-40 seconds. I've swapped out the RocketFish twice and have had the same issue each time.

Based on queries on the Android Revolution HD thread, the developers are saying it's a base issue and needs to be fixed by HTC.

I just find it odd that the Stereoclip will steam media without skipping, but third party hardware like the RocketFish does skip. Also, my headset doesn't get the aforementioned static issues with the RocketFish.

Also worth noting I have not had both the Stereoclip and RocketFish paired to my phone at the same time.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benasaur:
Just wanted to second this. Mine isn't that bad, but every so often (3-5 minutes) the music skips about 0.5 seconds. Have tried stopping my navigation app, putting the phone to sleep, and unplugging the charger. Nothing works so far.

Pretty sure it is not a pairing issue since this started the first time I paired my phone to the car stereo.

Needless to say, not happening when listening with headphones or speakers.
