So it all comes down to a case..... Face/Palm

Read your post back - you kinda answer your own question

I vote absolutely not. I'm never going back to anywhere near touchwiz. You'll miss the speakers and build. Get the nexus 5 if you want light and better buttons.

and another one bites the dust....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
I will say, the M8 feels very premium in the hand, and the screen is extremely crisp, bright, and clear looking, was great outdoors yesterday at a family party in the backyard, could see the M8 screen easily during the day, and I NEVER could see well outdoors with the S4. My old S4 feels like a kids plastic toy, compared to the luxury feel of the M8. And Sense 6 with the Black / White colors, looks very professional and polished, compared to the butt ugly nasty Touchwiz on my S4.

But I haven't really played with an S5 much, so I am comparing my M8 to S4 which isn't fair.

I just miss the lightweight feel of the S4, with the rounded corners, felt very good in the palm of the hand.

But this M8 has amazing battery life, almost near that of my old Note 2. Plus if I want a Nexus feel, I can easily flash the M8 GPE ROM which is great to have that option. But the water resistance and dust proof tech in the S5 is a very useful feature, as is the lighter feel in the hand, even with a case on the S5 will weigh less than the naked M8.

15 grams separate the M8 from the S5

I don't think thats even noticeable!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0ther:
You do know you can just Swype the m8 to unlock? My wife has s5 because she wanted the watch. It is very nice but in my opinion it is no comparison to my m8. That thing has bloat for days. No way to root it yet. Great camera but when you go to text a pic it compresses so much it looks terrible. No one wants to email all their pics. This was a problem with the s4 too. It's your choice but if you like to change up your phone, stay with the m8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Good points. Yeah my S4 I was starting to hate lately. Cheap slimy plastic back. And TW on the S4 was butt ugly.

Until Samsung change things up I have no desire to go for the S series . . . The Note 4 is suppose to be changing design but again it will just copy the S5 features wise . . .

S5 didn't even interest me at all . .I was going for M8 or Z2 to be honest . . Not at all sad that I chose the M8!

I'd keep hold !!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockwork.satan:
Saw the bosses S5 earlier today. Had to try really hard to mock him for not getting the M8.

In terms of build quality and sheer sexy gadget appeal, the M8 blows the S5 clean out of the water.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
This is my first workday with the M8. Holy sh!t AMAZING battery life. Right now unplugged off charger for 12h 48m and battery is at 57%. And I used the phone a good amount today too, all on 4G today, no Wi-Fi. Wow that's really good.

How can I see the On Screen time ? I am guessing has to be at least 3h screen on time today for me, and still have 50% battery left to go :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarongillion63:
The M8 is more feature-rich. I say stay with what you got. More cases will come, btw...it's brand new phone for crying out loud.

Thread Closed

I'm closing this, just like other similar threads, as we don't allow comparison threads.

We don't allow these threads as it can very easily lead to heated debates/arguments about which phone is the "best". It's also an open opportunity for fanboy trolls to come along and ruin such threads.

Also, asking in the M8 forum will undoubtedly bring bias results as most people in this section either have the M8 or are getting the M8.

If you wish to ask such a question, please use the existing Device Suggestion Thread!

Hi

After trying to install crombi on tf700 using twrp 2.7 something went wrong and now tablette is bootlooping on twrp screen.

Cpnnected the tablette to laptop and nothing appears in the M'y Computer Windows.

Checked on device manager and found 'transformer' writen there with yellow exclamation Mark.

Tried to update driver with nô success.

Any help Will be greatly appreciated

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
We need more information.

What did you come from?

What's your bootloader and rom versions?

Did you do a full wipe?

Describe in detail the procedure you followed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
Hi and thanks for the reply.

The tablet was on the latest Cromi-x and bootloader.

Did a full wipe and begun installing crombi

The tablet was stuck a long time on formatting so I had to regoot

After the reboot it was unable to moiunt E,

Tried to do another full wipe and now the tablet is just bootlooping on the TWRP splashscreen.

Any suggestion?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Formatting with TWRP 2.7 can take 90 minutes. You should not have interrupted it.

Can you get into fastboot?

Or alternatively you can try to get an adb connection when the tablet is looping.
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
Thanks for the answer so just connect the tablet, open cmd and do adb devices ?

Will try it in 30 min as I am not home

Tried the adb devices on a command windows in the platform-tools directory and nothing comes after hitting enter

Anything else to try?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
What about fastboot? Boot with Volume Down and Power. Then try

'fastboot devices'
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nothing? something must come up. What does it say? Command not found? No devices found?
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
Hi

When I try the fastboot devices command it comes back to the invite with nothing written

When I try the adb devices nothing after list of devices attached

And the tablet keeps on bootlooping on the teamwin splash screen

And as already stated in device manager I find the mention transformer with yellow mark
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
Hi

Something new after I tried to update driver

Tried the fastboot command and it found something

It gives me s bunch of numbers and letters and recovery at the end

Is it good doctor?
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
Tried to install TWRP using fastboot -I 0x0B05 flsh recovery TWRP.blob and it sots there with the message <waiting for device> and tablet is still bootlooping:crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you in the boot loader when you issue that command?
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
By the way the bunch of numbers and letters are 0123456789ABCDEF and I have ASUS android ADB Interface under ASUS Android Devices in device manager

I don't know if this helps

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes that is normal. What happens when you flash twrp with fasboot. What does it report back?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Ok, I think we need to clear up some things:

If the tablet is bootlooping it cannot be in the bootloader and fastboot mode (you are in the bootloader menu when you see the 3 icons: RCK, Android, Wipe Data). But if you see the adb interface in Device Manager while it is looping you should have an adb connection and

adb devices

should return a similar but different string of numbers and letters.

adb reboot-bootloader

should boot you into the bootloader which is also fastboot mode.

In fastboot you should be able to flash TWRP with the command you posted, minus the typos naturally.

It has to be

fastboot devices

and it has to return the string of letters and numbers, then:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

Try that and report back
[Asus Transformer TF700] BigKenW:
Hi there, I have the exact same problem. I tried searching all over about the time for a full wipe and couldn't find anything. So after about an hour I hard powered down. Of course, when I started researching the recovery look, I found the info (roughly 90-120 minutes). Here is what I have done to try to rectify, perhaps you can help. I booted into the bootloader and ran the following commands:

When I reboot into the bootloader and click RCK I get the TEAMWIN logo (blue screen). About every 2-3 seconds the screen goes black and the TEAMWIN logo shows again.

Thoughts?

---------- Post added 30th April 2014 at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th April 2014 at 11:56 PM ----------

I decided to play around a little more to see what I could do. I pushed TWRP v2.6.3.2 to the device replacing v2.7. Finally I was able to get into TWRP. However, now I am stuck. TWRP asks me for a password that was never set (I don't have one). I hit cancel and the main menu and I show as having -1mb of internal storage.

If I try any commands, I am told that there aren't permissions to access the partitions. I feel like I am getting closer.

If I tell TWRP to FORMAT DATA in the WIPE menu, recovery restarts and asks me for my password again.

Thoughts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It seems as if TWRP thinks your data partition is encrypted.

Boot into recovery, make sure you have an adb connection with

adb devices

if that returns a string of letters and numbers try

adb killall recovery

This should get you back to recovery and then try to format data again.

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF700] BigKenW:
Thanks for the advice. I actually reflashed to 5.7 and the password request is no longer there. That said, the device cannot mount anything inside. When I try ADB devices I am returned with nothing. That seems odd to me if fastboot commands work.

I searched around and a lot of people returned to full stock. I could also try the WIPE DATA option in the bootloader. But everything I have read is that is VERY bad. If I did that, even if I had to repush TWRP, would that be bad?

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

OK, I was able to get ADB going. The computer I was using didn't have the driver setup. That is fixed. The killall recovery command doesn't seem to work.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

Alright, nothing I can do will fix this thing. The internal drive shows 0mb. I even tried installing CWM and I can't mount any partitions. I would like to return to full stock. I can't seem to find anything like an RUU or other tool to do this. Can someone please direct me to the best thread to do so?

After I am back stock I will unlock the bootloader again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
I will follow all the commands when I will be back from work. It's 3:30 here in Montreal thanks guys
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
To return to stock just download the Asus firmware, unzip it once and flash the resulting zip in recovery.

Your bootloader will stay unlocked. You just have to flash a custom recovery again, reboot and then flash the rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] allotesting:
Hi all

Back from work but all the commands were uselee

In device manager I have ASUS android ADB interface after updating manually the 'transformer' that I had with the yellow matk

When trying adb devices it comes with 0123456789ABCDEF all the hexadecimal digits so seems to me that the machine does not recognize the tablet itself

When trying fastboot devices and hit enter it comes back to the >invite

When trying adb reboot-bootloader it just sits there with even no >invite

Forgot to mention that the word recovery comes after the 0123456789ABCDEF on the adb devices

Anything else to try? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] BigKenW:
Actually, it didn't work. I had some problems accessing any ROM, let alone the Asus Firmware. For no reason whatsoever TWRP 2.6.3.2 allowed me to wipe all partitions and install CROMi-kk.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spark001uk:
Ok I've not seen any threads quite like my issue, so I'll try to explain best I can. Ok, here I have an N7 (2012) wifi. Now, I work in electronics therefore know a bit about charging etc, so I've got the back off it to measure the voltage directly at the battery terminals. I have 4.2V across it - which is about as high as you want a 3.7V cell to reach at full charge. Also the unit (powered off or on, with screen off) is drawing about 17mA from my bench PSU (set to a 2.5A limit, @ 5.25V), which is what I'd expect of a full battery, along with the fact it's up at 4.2V.

However, and this is the bizarre bit - unplug it, and the unit bleats away saying there's 5% battery left. So, back in with the power, it says charging. Leave the screen to go off. Check it about an hour later, the unit isn't switched on. Boot it up, it bleats again saying 2% left. Take out the power and put it back in. Charging again (allegedly). So I look in the battery section of settings to see what had occurred over this last hour or so... and according to the graph, while I had left the unit to charge, it rose from 5% to 15% over a period of around half an hour, then steadily DISCHARGED for the next half hour right down to 0, and switched off !! Situation now - it's "charging", and has been sat at 2% for about two hours. However, as expected, on another battery check, guess what - still at 4.2V - fully charged, about where it has been throughout. Well the lowest I saw it go was actually 4.13V.

Any help would be appreciated here, as I can't see what the problem is, other than the battery is full and the os thinks it's empty. It was doing this on android 4.2, and I've since updated it to 4.3, and then 4.4.2. Same results, no change. I've also performed a factory reset via the os, and a hard reset (factory wipe/reset) via recovery. This is really strange, never come across this ever before. As I say, I've seen lots of battery issues experienced by N7 2012 owners, but nothing quite this odd!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spark001uk:
Here's a screenshot of this evening:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spark001uk:
Stranger and stranger. Long spell of charging, then it goes straight to 0%. So I leave it turned off for a while (not connected to charger), then turn it back on and miraculously it now has 32%! Which then jumps straight to 0 a few mins later. Now switched back on again, and it's back up to 24%!! See attached.

Bizarre.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
Your situation is unusual, for sure. I had a situation where a rogue app consumed power faster than my N7 charger could supply it. Killing the app stopped the madness. Have you checked battery usage?

I would reinstall your ROM, as corrupted software seems to be the likely cause.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrizmaticSmoke:
First thing I would check before messing with reinstalling ROMs or similar actions, is take the back off the device, and ensure the battery plug is firmly seated and not loose or crooked.

I had similar erratic behavior pop up all of a sudden, and this was the culprit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spark001uk:
Yep done that, it's on official 4.4.2, also done a factory reset and a hard reset, neither made a difference. The thing is, the battery voltage is around 4.1 to 4.2V at all times, indicating it's fully charged. Checked connector as well, no loose connections at all. Very odd indeed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
When I first got my nexus 7 1 year ago

I got the same problem

Then I found out it was the stock charger

Then I got a 2.1a charger and that fixed the problem.

My battery never got to 5v

4156mv = 4.1v

And it charges at 1500ma

If it were off then it will be 2000ma
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngoralph:
remove the battery and put it back, it may help and also charge while it's turned off
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spark001uk:
You sure about that??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
No lol the 0 should not be there
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spark001uk:
Ah OK, thought so! Also when you say your battery never got to 5V, did you mean across the battery itself? If so 4.1V sounds almost fully charged to me. It's a 3.7V li-po so 4.2V across it would be the absolute max.

When your phone is in your pocket, full volume notifications are necessary if you don't want to miss a message. But when you already have your phone out and unlocked, there's no need for them to be loud and annoying, especially if you're already using the app they originate from (e.g. message apps).

Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster lets you set custom notification volume levels for when your phone is asleep and when it's awake.

This is my first app, so I apologize for any issues it may have, but I hope people will find it useful. Either way, it's been nice to have just for myself!

Does this effect battery life at all? This is a great idea for an application. I hate when I almost crap my pants from a notification being too loud! I hope this app does well and has many more updates in the future.

I have an HTC Evo Design 4G which has atrocious battery life (carry around a spare in my wallet) and haven't noticed any decrease. I regularly check the battery use because I have to watch for things eating it up and it hasn't shown up yet!

Damn! I never actually use my phone as a phone so that never crossed my mind. I'll look into it changing it, but right now the app simply works on whether the screen is lit up or not. Thanks for the heads up!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] glaukos:
how do people mess up their phones?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
Interesting question. Mind telling us the reason for it?

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Any way, the easiest way is to drop it, or drop something heavy on it.

You can also get creative:

http://www.stuffonmycat.com/index.php?catid=13&blogid=1

(sorry, couldn't find the link with pics of an iPaq that's been in a microwave)

Now, if you want to go the 'high-tech' style try flashing it with a wrong ROM.

Or better yet: pull out the USB cable in the middle of ROM update. It's a nice way to brick your device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] glaukos:
well, the obvious reason id like to know is such that one (and furthermore others who lack thar brainsmarts) understand what not to do before it do be done, but also because explosions are cool as hell

okay so people brick their phones by flashing the wrong rom. in order for a rom to be wrong, itd be a rom based on a machine language that is different than the one my phone came with, correct?

in other words, more explicitly, my question is this: which roms are compatible with the tmo MDA (and furthermore other phones that i dont own but people flash roms with) when i unlock the cid, backup the 2.26 rom, and flash something new? are all roms that run based upon windows mobile 5 compatible with this ppc?

seems to me that being such a risky thing to do and also how prone i and every other rational human being is to **** **** up, it only makes sense to compile a database of what exactly'll **** **** up, pardon my french

and yah that cat deal is funny hahah
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
Well, I don't know about a database, but when you use an official update tool it warns you about the risks and consequences of flashing the ROM, and even checks for battery charge before letting you proceed.

What is the wrong ROM?

Any ROM image that wasn't specifically designed for your device. WM5 is not a generic product like desktop windows. The machine language is the same, but since ROM image also includes all the hardware drivers (which can not be installed separately from the OS) if you flash say a Wizard with a Universal ROM (not sure if the bootloader will let you, but it might) the device will become unusable.

The main concern in any ROM update is power / communication interrupt during the flash. Anything that brakes the process will likely leave the device unusable.

Another dangerous endeavor is messing with the bootloader. If you screw up the OS or radio ROM chances are you can reflash again, but once your bootloader is screwed so are you. (pardon the language)

Finally, I wouldn't recommend to anyone new to these devices to mess with custom ROMs or to flash different brands.

Reasons:

A) It voids warranty.

B) It's hard to tell if some problems are result of ROM or hardware if you don't know your device well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] glaukos:
yah thats another thing... is there a good registry monitor for ppc that doesnt cost like 40 bux?? i cant find any
