Ya. I know what you mean. I drove 30 mins to get mine. But I don't use it too often because it pushes my screen protector up. But I still use it every once in a while.

At least you had the option. If you're not in the States or close to the border, good luck. I wish there was a way to get one.

Hi there,

Can you share please a link to simple example of an app that runs as a service(and does some work periodically in a thread) and started at boot? It should not be an activity. Thank you.
[Java for Android App Development] surlac:
Not a link, but should be good to start:

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="your.package" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoDisplay">>
<receiver android:name=".Receiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

<service android:enabled="true" android:name=".YourService" />
</application>
</manifest>

Here you receive broadcast (Intent) dispatched by the system on boot.

Receiver.java

public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(this, YourService.class);
startService(i);
}
}

Service should do your work.

YourService.java

public class YourService extends Service {
@Override public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
// do some work here
}
}

This is a simple implementation. To make it run periodically, try to use AlarmManager with IntentService.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jacob_s:
Hello everyone!

I just got my Verizon HTC M8 and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these (possible) issues:

On Firmware 1.55.605.2-1.12.605.11_R3 , when I press "Check new" under "Software update", it sits for about a minute at "Checking for new software..." and eventually says "We were not able to download this update....". Does this mean there is an update and it's failing to download, or is this just their (stupid) way of saying "Nothing to see here".

BoomSound causes hissing while on. To replicate, start a Youtube video, and pause it. In the short time between you pausing and the BoomSound notification icon disappearing, the speaker will have an amplifier hiss to it. If you have a good ear, you can hear this during playback in the background.

Occasional WiFi hiccups - I've had this on every android device so far, but every once in a while the WiFi just stops working and I have to toggle it off/on.

Constant "Youtube stopped working"... at least a couple times a day I'll get this warning. Seems this is the only app.

Also, is there any way to restore the things Verizon removed (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729137) without root? Specifically HTC Backup?

Thanks! My 2 week return ends this coming Sunday, so I was just making sure I shouldn't try to get it replaced before that :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Anthony825:
I've had my m8 for a week now and the only issue I have Is a loose volume rocker. But with a case on it's fine. I'd get yours replaced personally.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jacob_s:
Ya, I have the loose buttons too... just wiggles enough to be annoying, but the case resolved that for me as well. As much as I wanted to go caseless, I'm too clumsy ;)

Does yours show the same thing when trying to software update?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
I've noticed the hissing too. Happens in the ear phones too or especially in calls. For YouTube, uninstall updates an reinstall. Reboot device. I had those issues too.

Thank you,
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jacob_s:
Thanks - sorry about that.

So, can anyone confirm the update issue? My biggest concern is that I tried weeksauce but it didn't do what I needed. I want to be sure that I can still get OTA.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tomkins0752:
If the update continues to be a problem, you might need to do Weaksauce temporarily and download the official OTA and put it in the right place and manually update your phone. There were a few threads covering this. It is really simple to do.

There are a few options in the phone that cut connection to Wi-Fi, so go check these under Settings:

-Wi-Fi>Then hit the three dots in the top right corner and choose Advanced>and take a look at the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option.

-Power>and then check out your "Sleep mode" options and, if your phone has it, the "Power saver" options.

I haven't personally heard any issues with my speakers due to BoomSound, so I can't really help there. If none of this helps, I would say go and have your phone swapped out.

If you checked this all already, I'm sorry! Good luck man. This phone is a beast and I hope you get it working. :good:

It is an important update that fixes an annoying flaw in a major feature for this phone. There is absolutely nothing wrong in asking when it is coming.

If the thread bugs you then don't read it. A simple "no ETA at this time" would suffice.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
The guy got his answer in the first response and still kept bumping the thread, I wouldn't exactly call the responses bullying.

Bullying is meanness with intent to be mean, there is none of that here. The problem I have with this is, even if I did know why would I post it in his thread? It'd be a pretty big info leak, I'd certainly want my own thread for it anyways. So this thread has in no way shape or form been constructive to information needed by BritishAndroid and myself.

Generally accepted practice in forums is to bump the older thread with no responses, especially if it's been within the past month or two.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pragmatous:
Hi there,

I just bought the note 3 for verizon from Amazon and I get it tomorrow. I have some questions. I did search and I didn't see these answered.

With the phone being bigger I thought about getting a wallet case for the note 3. Does anyone have any recommendations on one that maybe you use now? I want a wallet case with kickstand but those aren't made for some unknown crazy reason. A wallet case with a kickstand would be awesome. The idea is to replace my wallet to free up room in my pocket to fit this phone heh.

Do you recommend a screen protector for the note 3? The iphone 5 uses gorilla glass and you don't really need one.

I'm pretty nervous as my experience with android was with 2.x and it was very painful. I'm hoping 4.4 is a lot better. I am pretty excited about the larger display. It'll be nice to actually see things again and browse the web without having suffer whiplash because i'm leaning over so far to see what I'm reading.

How would you rate 4.4 kitkat verses 2.x gingerbread for example?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Wallet cases mostly don't need kickstands - many of them simply fold into a triangle shape that puts the phone on an angle. Samsung phones have used gorilla glass for several years - but I'd still get a protector. I don't know if I'd bother with the glass ones - I bought a plastic clearview for mine. I also have a genuine leather wallet case with 3 x card pockets and a large cash pocket. Leaves room for the S-Pen socket and protects it all nicely.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pragmatous:
Ahh true I've been looking and I saw some that fold. What wallet case brand do you have? There are so many I have no idea what to get. I'm looking at amazon and there are literally pages upon pages upon pages of different brands. They generally look the same but which ones are the real authentic ones that don't fall apart in 2 weeks?

Any recommendation for a screen protector? I use to know what brands to get but I've been out of the loop for awhile. I thought about just getting the verizon one and have them put it on for me since I would suck at doing it.

Oh warranty. What are your thoughts on buying a warranty with it? I thought about getting the trade square warranty from amazon.

Sorry I have lots of questions I guess. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techniques:
I'd go for a tempered glass screen protector since plastic might hinder the Spen. Some popular brands are iloome and mime.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdm9mm:
Get the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. I bought my note3 frkm amazon without insuramce and warranty because it is the international version.

You have to look because they sell for $15 to $20 when on sale and they are good, they have 3 coils. I have three of these and use them for S3, S4, and Note 3 without problem.

How do I update my note from jellybean to kitkat? I do the software update and it says it's up to date. I should google that I guess.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdm9mm:
the update depends on your country. Some are late. The quickest way is to download the firmware from samfirmware.com and flash using pc odin. It will not trip your "knocks" counter as it is an official firmware.

This

Genuine Leather Case

is what I bought. I got a screen protector from the same site.

Haven't had a single issue with the Momax Crystal Protector and S-Pen - certainly seems very responsive to touch. I tried the multitouch apps after I got the protector and found phone extremely responsive to all fingers on the screen so I doubt it's an issue. I got the plastic because I figured maybe the softer material would provide a bit more shatter protection on the off chance I dropped it. (& it was cheaper :D)

Note that my case DOESN'T fold but it wasn't a concern for me. They have

This Case, Leather and Fold

that might give you an idea of what to look for in the US - or get it shipped.

I was more interested in the extra card (3) and cash pocket
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pragmatous:
I decided on this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA4E5JE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's cheap and has extra card slots.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Ah well, Australia often slugs us extra for stuff. That looks like a useful wallet replacement but will be quite thick if you fill all the card slots. Mine gets to approx 2cm with 3 cards and cash in the main pocket. If I needed to carry more the one you're getting would be a definite option - I like cargo pockets so size isn't that big an issue for me.

I do like the fine leather of mine though - oozes quality. :D

I'm in trouble with my Hermes (HTC TyTN, unbranded, Italian ROM) as the phone application seems not supporting the operator codes like *123# or similar.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] porthole:
So, I got a white s5 from my T-Mobile store. It has the hard perforated battery cover. However, a few days after I was in a radioshack looking around and I saw grey s5 (I think Sprint) and the battery cover was the soft "leathery" perforated back. So, I immediately assumed that it was only the grey s5's that had the soft back.

But I called the local T-Mobile store and they told me that all T-Mobile s5's have the hard battery cover. Every review I read they mention the soft faux leather that these phones have (just like the note 3).

Bottom line is,I used to have the note 3 and I really like the soft leathery feel because it seems grippier to me. I feel like this hard back will slip out of my hands. Now before everyone tells me to go get a cover, I don't like covers. I like the feel of a plain phone.

My question is, is this true that T-Mobile is the only one with the hard back? I've looked and it seems like I could buy a replacement back, but do all of the carriers battery covers fit? Are they all the same size and dimension?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] epsilon022:
I have the grey S5 from TMo and it has the soft "leathery" backing. I can't say that I have seen an S5 without the soft back, but I also never have paid much attention to the white ones when looking at them in person. Do you have a picture of your phone backing?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
But hey, since the color seems to be the determining factor in the battery cover material, maybe you could just buy a replacement battery cover of a different color? It might look a little funny though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sheldor1967:
Ditto this. As I remember, they sold all kinds for the S4. It should be easy enough to find a suitable replacement. Myself, I had to put a case on it to give it some bulk and grip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpshptl:
So you would have paid $50 to switch phones for the battery cover? For that money you can buy whatever cover you want online.
