Bluetooth problems

Hi, I have been using the X6 for just over a week and so far everything is working well, the phone is quite nice to use, all except for bluetooth. In general bluetooth works but intermittently the phone gets so knotted up that bluetooth won't turn on, the icon animation loops continuously. The phone must then be reset or sometimes have the battery removed to get bluetooth to turn on/off again, sometimes twice.

I can pair devices although sometimes it won't detect them first go. Other times it will tell me I have the incorrect PIN even though it is a previously paired device which is being re-paired. When all is paired and connected (bluetiger handsfree headset) calls are fine, audio is good, controls work as expected. Then when in standby the headset will still be connected and the button will answer an incoming call but the audio has reverted back to the handset, very frustrating during this time because trying to reconnect the headset will result in non responsive bluetooth power control and another reset is required. :eek:

I tried bluetooth auto connect app which works flawlessly with the headset on my regular phone, Galaxy S2. But to no improvement at all on the X6, infact it made things even more unstable so I uninstalled.

I have read the MTK6592 chip has bluetooth 4.0 and I'm guessing there is protocol issues with older devices but that doesn't account for not being able to turn it on or off, maybe it is more of a ROM/Android issue?

[QUESTIONS]:

1. Is anyone using a bluetooth handsfree with no problems with the X6?

2. Is anyone else having similar problems?

Just picked up the unicorn beetle pro (the otter box level one ) and just wanted to say it is a great case, I'm not much for writing reviews but can answer any questions if anyone else was looking at this case. It seems super durable, it's thick but reasonably so, the ir /power button has a clear cover so it still functions. The rubber sides are much harder than an otter box and don't pull on and off when you pull it from your pocket like some other cases.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
I just received this case yesterday too. It's awesome, love it. Better than Otterbox IMO. My new camera is coming in today so I'll post pictures later.
[One (M8) Accessories] jags_the1:
Holy ****, you buy a new camera for taking photos of this phone in case. What a baller!
[One (M8) Accessories] spiderjerusalem:
Thanks I was gonna post pictures but I suck at it
[One (M8) Accessories] 59er9er:
I'll add to the positive reviews of this case. I ordered it early through Amazon so I too got it at a great price figuring I had very little to lose. I'm extremely pleased with most aspects of this case. I'm coming from an M7 with a UAG case so I have something good to compare this case to. Best things about this case are:

-built-in screen protector with tacky back. this keeps the plastic protector in constant contact with the screen so not air gaps like LifeProofs iPhone case

- completely covered plastic power button. much better IMO than UAG's slotted rubber button because it provide tactile feedback

-port covers. keeps the dust out

-very little metal is exposed. the camera lenses on back have the typical case protection but I really like the plastic around the speaker grills. looks good and looks like it'll provide adequate protection from most anything short of extreme sports

The only thing that I don't like is that the back of the case has a slight curve to it versus the flat back of the UAG case. But I figure this is why the Unicorn Beetle doesn't feel so bulky.

I was planning on only using this case for when I'm doing yard work, hiking, or playing in the park but I'm happy enough with it at this point that I'll likely leave it on most of the time. It's a great value, even at the current price. I will watch the price closely on this and probably pick up another one if the price drops.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Here we go!

I popped out the plastic screen cover and removed the residue. Case still fits great with my Nillkin Glass screen protector!

The other case is the regular Unicorn Beetle so you can see the size difference.
[One (M8) Accessories] akitten007:
Sorry delete
[One (M8) Accessories] spiderjerusalem:
Yeah built in screen protector is not that bad but doesn't work well with a wet apply style below it as I had one on mine , they stick together. I'm going to order a glass one and pop out the plastic eventually but the built in is good enough for now
[One (M8) Accessories] Jooosty:
Man that is really nice.

Btw I have a Otterbox Commuter lol.

HTC UltimEight ?
[One (M8) Accessories] jags_the1:
i think if i throw this phone in this case at someone, someones gonna get hurt real bad.
[One (M8) Accessories] NegativeOne13:
Gestures

Got the case today, and seems like a pretty stout case. I removed my clear plastic as I have a SpartanShield screen protector on it. Customized it a little to my needs... Added mesh on the speakers. It didn't mess with the FFC much, but has a slight difference. I need this mesh as I'm a machinist, and have always had to dig out metal shavings. My main concern is since I've installed this case I havent had much luck with getting gestures to work. It seems like sometimes it doesn't work at all, and other times it seems fine. Didn't know of anyone has had this experience yet.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
I haven't had any issues with the touchscreen, but I have a glass screen protector. Loving this case so far. Very well made. Way better than my Otterbox Commuter.
[One (M8) Accessories] spiderjerusalem:
Gestures working fine for me and I have fat fingers.
[One (M8) Accessories] shu23:
Did you remove the plastic screen protector before applying the case? If not, did the glass screen protector cause a gap between the plastic around the speakers?

Edit: Whoops never mind. just saw your previous post about the screen protector

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wonderrx:
Hello all, thanks in advance for any suggestions

I have a Galaxy S5 that I will be taking back to the store since we haven't been able to get root on it yet, fairly satisfied with the phone.

I had an S3 and then a HTC Thunderbolt before that, both with removable batteries.

Removable batteries have been a huge pro for me, I am often very hard on battery using bluetooth and playing media for 12 hours at a time away from charger.

Really other than being a little tall the battery is what is keeping me away from the M8.

What options does a guy have to combat a non replaceable battery? I know the little pocket power cells have come a long way, and I currently always carry a spare battery now so maybe that is a lateral change. Are there some of those that charge very fast?

I tend to keep phones running a LONG time and pass them down to wife/kids and removable battery has always been a big pro to that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
an external battery like you mentioned or a battery case. if you're worried about wearing out the battery, im sure you can replace it manually after 2-3 years by opening up the phone (there's teardowns posted already). I can't speak on either battery option though bc i have a charger at my desk.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wonderrx:
The M8 got a very poor repair-ability score from ifixit so a battery swap won't be a simple choice. Thus my being a bit cautious.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Ditto, followed by a Galaxy S4.

Probably no options are needed. I used to carry a spare battery (or two!) for my T-Bolt but found I could live with the S3 and S4 batteries by keeping a spare battery on a charger and swapping batteries around 6 PM each day.

I was VERY nervous about going to the M8 with the non-removable battery but it lasts and lasts and lasts....... I take it off the charger at 7 AM when I get up and have more than 50% when I go to bed, usually around midnight.

I have a car charger, never needed to use it, I have a USB cord plugged into my PC so I can charge while I'm typing this, never do though, it's not needed.

I can't speak to battery life 3 years down the road when cell phone batteries start losing life but in 3 years I suspect this phone will be as obsolete as a rotary dial phone is now and I'll be looking for the latest gee-whiz phone that is cosmic ray powered or ????

Don't worry about the battery, it'll be fine.

FWIW, rooted, TWRP recovery, running BoneStock ROM (thanks, AndyBones!) with power saver turned OFF!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wonderrx:
Thanks for the input! Glad to hear very good and optimistic reviews of the power, thanks for sharing what you are running rooted wise and the like, I am missing being able to do that already on the S5.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
YW, hope it helps. You know what works for one may not work for another, right?

When Samsung and VZW locked down the S4 (and later the S3) I knew I wouldn't be buying another Samsung phone, us flashaholics GOTTA FLASH!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verdigo:
I was in the same boat as you. I almost went with an S5 because of the non-removable battery. Not being able to remove the battery is a stupid, and lazy, design idea. I watched a few videos about the battery and went for it. I have to say its at least 50% better than my TBolt. At the end of the day my TBolt usually was at about 30-45%. Now with the same exact usage patterns the M8 ends at 98%. Yeah I seem to only use 2% over an 8 hour work day. I use it on breaks of course. I plan on buying one of those portable batteries for emergency charging and I've got at least 3 chargers in various places. I used my phone at a family event for about an hour and a half. I watched 3-4 youtube videos ranging from 10-20 minutes each at max quality and did some web browsing and that brought it to 75%. Tethering with the WiFi Router app can suck it down pretty fast though. All in all Im happy with how well the battery holds up. Im sure someone will sell a better battery you can replace down the road with a little disassembly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] l7777:
Concerns about a non-removable battery are overblown now days. If you're going to carry around extra batteries, you can just as easily carry around an auxiliary battery. The smaller ones are the size of a lipstick and are rated around 3000 mah, enough to double the capacity of nearly any device currently on the market. If that's not enough for you they go all the way up to 12000 before they start getting too large to carry around. By the time the battery actually needs replacing, you will likely have moved on to another phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
how do you expect a 90% metal phone to have a removable battery? i don't see this as possible. you're gonna get tabs that break off very easily or something else that fails bc you want to take your battery out easily.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jayslaw:
I posted this over at AC too. I had the issue of not being able to receive MMS with wifi on with any messenger except Hangouts and the stock Messaging app. I found out that I had to create a new APN but that only worked on LTE. These settings will work for LTE or HSPA/3G. It will allow the messaging app to automatically turn on mobile data and download the message. Not sure if it'll mess with wifi calling since I don't use it so YMMV. Since this is a new account the MMSC url had to be broken to post this so adjust as needed.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jayslaw:
Well all was working well till I started toggling wifi calling to see how it would work then now the phone is saying my APN is invalid.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] lampel:
Can you have two APN addresses in one profile? Don't think I've ever seen that before...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Jayslaw:
That's what I thought too but I was just messing around with it and it worked. I got rid of the epc APN and it works again with just fast even if I have LTE off, but I'm not gonna mess with it again till after work.

Greetings. I achieved my sgs4 unlock sgh-I337 in 4.4.2 but lowering the modem to mdl. but then again I had to flash the stock rom 4.4.2 to return the modem up. but I did going into safe mode with * # 0011 #

(1) *#0011# (found working on AT&T Galaxy S4)

(2)Now select [1] UMTS by tapping on it.

(3)When you get into the UMTS Main Menu, tap on [1] DEBUG SCREEN

(4)This will take you to Debug Screen menu where you have to select [6] PHONE CONTROL

(5)In the Phone Control menu, you will see an option called [6] NETWORK LOCK. Tap on it

(6)In the Network Lock screen, select [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF.

(7)On the next screen tap on SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[1].

(8)Doing this will show the following message:

MENU NOT EXIST

PRESS BACK KEY

Current Command is 116631

(9)Now tap on the Menu button (left soft key on your phone) and select Back from the menu. (To go back, do not press the Back button of your device.) When you do this, you should see the following lines on the screen:

SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[0]

SHA256_OFF => Not Change

(10)Ignore the above message and tap on the Menu button again and then select Back.

(11)Now you’ll see the Network Lock menu. Press the Menu button again and select Back. Repeat the Menu> Back action till you return back to the UMTS Main Menu.

(12)Here you will find an option called [6] COMMON. Tap on it.

(13)Next, select [6] NV REBUILD.

(14)In the NV Rebuild screen will look like as shown below.

Golden-Backup exist

You can Restore Cal/NV

(15)Tap on [4] Restore Back-up.

(16)Doing this will freeze your T-Mobile/AT&T Galaxy S4 temporarily. The screen will turn Off , followed by the Menu and Back buttons light up and device reboot.

this method worked lowering my modem to MDL, but then I had to flash the stock rom again to raise your version NB1 modem because I found not only the NB1 modem to flash it with odin. good luck and I hope you help

I work for a medical practice. We need to keep strict EAS policies such as force PIN or password, force Encryption, allow remote wipe, timeouts, etc. No exceptions if you want to have corporate e-mail on your mobile... and I simply can't live without it.

Anyways... I'm here to talk about biometrics. I think on Exchange 2013 they just patched in the ability to allow BM separately... but what about the rest of us who will be on 2010 for a good while longer? The iPhone totally has us beat in this category. We did some testing yesterday... and the iPhone 5S is actually "smart" enough to just push your set PIN into the phone on unlock and allows the continued use of BM. With my GS5, since BM is a completely different (unlinked) feature, it is greyed out. No BM for me. :crying:

I'm just curious if anyone else has dug into this? I have been taking a lot of flak from all my IT cohorts that I still need to use a PIN. :eek:

If you want to use the Finger Print reader to unlock on your phone and a pin just for your email, you can use email apps like Touchdown instead of the default email application. So the only time you would have to enter a pin is when you open touchdown app, not to unlock your phone.
[HTC One SV] kyentei:
Hello all,

Ever since updating to the leaked release of JB for the One SV (with the, at the time, newer sense) I have had in-call audio issues. This was a known issue at the time, and I flashed back to an older release (the default, factory one).

But since I have upgraded to ViperSV 1.1.0, the issue is back. I've seen people talking about different kernels and such, but I have no idea how to do so. I have re-flashed the boot.img contained in the ViperSV 1.1 ZIP file, but this has not resolved the issue.

Any ideas how I can get my in-call audio back?

(I am using the non-lte european HTC One SV)

Thanks in advance!
