Hello to everyone reading this.

I just purchased a used HTC One X. I managed to work out everything that was wrong with it (including the wifi problem some HOX phones have) but I'm getting really frustrated with the non-functioning properly volume buttons.

The phone volume gets turned up spontaneously and I have to press volume down repeatedly to stop it from going up again.

I was just wondering if there is any app (or any other way) that disables the volume hard-buttons because it's really gotten an annoyance by now.

I have tried several apps that "save" your volume settings and revert it right after it's changed by the faulty volume buttons. But the volume changing doesn't stop unless I press Volume Down myself. It just keeps going up and the app reverting it back down again.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

U probably need to get your vol rocker replaced

Try tasker to remap keys or something
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] classic20:
Thank you both for your ideas. But unfortunately, I've never used Tasker so I wouldn't know how to remap the hardware keys.

It's gotten worse today, I can't stand it anymore. Taking it tomorrow for repairs...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chrisb906:
Good idea
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pandasa123:
let me know if you want me to try to do a tasker script for you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] classic20:
Thank you so much! Definitely worth a try if it's not repairable and will let you know...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] classic20:
UPDATE: Had the phone for repairs yesterday. The volume rocker got fixed. Thank you both for your help and support.

I want to know if its possible to pair some bluetooth headphones with the fire tv since it does have bluetooth? I would be nice to be able to watch a movie using bluetooth headphones with the unit. Only makes sense that this should be a feature.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinglars:
Did you ever get this to work? If so, how did you do it? Roommates are complaining about my late night tv watching habits.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadboyzz:
Yes if you install the Android Settings.apk you can make the FireTV pair with bluetooth audio devices. However with both devices I tried, a headset and a speaker, there's horrendous audio lag that makes it basically unusable. I guess I'll just wait for official support from Amazon.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biglo:
Dang that sucks, this thing really needs a be update now because so far it's missing a lot of things.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 27scoob:
Have you used the audio offset feature to correct the lag ? I had to use it to correct the lag while using my Ouya and a Bluetooth enabled powered PA speaker.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireTVnews.com:
There's a good chance the next update will come June 18th when Amazon reveals their smartphone. I would expect the Fire TV will need to be updated in order to interact with the phone.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadboyzz:
It's not a constant lag on the firetv, lag increases the longer you play something.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loughrey101:
All you need to do is connect a USB Bluetooth receiver that often comes with the headphones and pair it with that directly. Get a multi-USB hub so you can connect various other things to it also. I'm using everything with the USB port like air mouses etc. and all work perfectly and it doesn't require any settings or rooting.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d1dd1:
where to get a working settings.apk ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmerrilljr2:
I used settings.apk to pair my headphones. Music plays just fine. However playing an .mkv video thru XBMC-Kodi did not work at all. I just got really loud static -- I guess there was a problem with the dts audio. Knowing there was an audio lag anyway, I didn't mess with the XBMC setting to downmix.

When i synchronize Calendar events or Contacts i can only get the notes (in notes field) transfered from mobile to PC but NOT from PC to mobile.

To make it clearer:

If i add a contact on mobile, and type something in notes field, then i will have the contact information including the notes field transfered to PC.

But, if i will edit the note on PC then it will wipe the note on the mobile

I am searching for a solution so if anybody found any information on that please let me know

Mobile is running on WM5 OS

Above i ment to say i still have the problem useing office 2007 beta 2 and activesync 4.5 beta
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] applecom:
OK just fixed it, so if you wish to use office 2007 beta 2 and your WM5 device you need to run the "techinical refresh) 450mb update from microsoft

this will then let you sync with all the notes attched

only catch is any existing notes, contacts tasks calender notes entered after you upgraded from say 2003 to 2007 beta will need to be edited

Just open the "task, note, calender or contact" and add a bit of text and save and close

then they will sync fine

I installt the 3.0.1 and i rooted my device sucessfully but after I installt the Little_Honey_3.2.2 my iconia stuck at the acer logo and didn't came out yet.

Please help i am lost without my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Honeycomb roms need to run on hc boot loader.

ICS Stock/OTA roms need ics stock bootloader

Custom ICS/JB xda roms require skrilax_cz unlocked bootloader v8 or v9.

You need to make sure you flash the correct recovery, rom and bootloader combination.

Hi, I've been having a frustrating time getting my apps from before to get restored.

I received the phone yesterday, updated it to the latest OTA, and then proceeded to root it with the colorOS recovery.

All of that went smoothly, was able to install TiBu and it said it has root access just fine. Can freeze apps and stuff.

However, when I try to restore an app from my previous backup on my other phone, it just hangs at 0%.

I look into this and set the app processing to indirect, and try auto detecting the backup location but neither of them work.

I try using App monster as well, and when i try to restore app data, the restore fails.

At this point, I figure there is a problem that's common to both of them but i'm not sure what.

--------

Second problem is it doesn't seem to want to read ID3 tags properly? I have a large collection of music which read fine on my previous phone (S2 with Kitkat), but the Find 7 seems to be having a hard time with it for some reason. I spent a few hours this morning going through the entire collection and manually checking/updating their ID3 tags but it still doesn't seem to want to work.

Any suggestions?

I had the same issue on the 19APR build with Titanium Backup. Restores worked before updating to the 19APR build. I'm on the 2.0.0i beta now and restoring worked as usual. I don't know what to suggest. Try updating busybox? If all else fails try flashing the 2.0.0i beta. I can't wait for OmniROM.

Sorry if this should go in the SlimKat forum, but I figured it is a 4.4 issue, possibly not specific to SlimKat.

I was messing with my camera settings the other day taking some photos, and I came across the option to change from .jpeg to .raw. I changed to .raw hoping to review later and see if I could improve the photos. I took several photos in .raw format, but now I cannot view them. At first they appeared as just gray boxes in the photo gallery (which was my first clue), and then I thought i would just transfer them to my computer and i would view/process them there.

However, I am completely unable to view these photos. I have installed RawDroid on my phone, but it will not view the files (actual or thumbnail). I have also tried several different programs on my Windows 7 PC (File Explorer, Corel Paintshop 6, Paint Shop Pro, and even Irfanview) - none of them will display the photos. I know there is data there - each file is about 10.2MB in size; I just can't get them to display no matter what I try. I am extremely disappointed because there are at least 4 of the files that I would really like to keep.

Any ideas on how I can get the photos to display? I have searched Google and the forums here to no avail. I cannot seem to find anyone or an article on this particular issue.

And, as I said, my apologies if this should go in the SlimKat forum - Mods, please move if necessary.

Don't connect ur phone in flash mode until flash tool asks for it. The moment flash tool indicates u to connect ur device on, only then connect it in flash mode. Once u load the ftf in flashtool, it takes a min to process the files after which it notifies for u to connect ur phone. Cheers

I have the spigen case its very nice and clear. But is kinda bulky.

I dont like plastic cases, always think it will scratch my phones.
[One (M8) Accessories] whmcal:
Just fyi, there's already an active thread entitled: M8 clear cases to showcase.
[One (M8) Accessories] cpufrost:
I had to send the spigen clear back.

The cutout for the flash is too close.

Ruins flash pictures.

The entire rim of the case lights up when the flash fires!

I suppose if using the camera flash isn't your thing it would make a great alert with a mod/app that uses the flash as the LED alert, etc.

And yes it feels a bit big.

Also it has a yellowish tinge on the edges.

The black version would be fine but the power button is covered so the IR blaster would be useless...

I also think so but I can't seem to find any real review of the case. Do you have it? Some posters say it dosent add any additional grip so the phone continues do be slippery.
[One (M8) Accessories] chino0131:
I had the Spigen ultra fit capsule and returned it. Mine had a yellow coloring around the edges that I couldn't get over. Some people who have it say that the coloring is due to the lighting in the room you're in....i had it regardless of where I was. Great looking case, fit well, but the yellow killed it for me.

I currently have the Supcase premium hybrid case, which is similar to the exact prism in appearance. It looks great, shows off the phone very well. My only complaint is that it is somewhat slippery.

Im now waiting on the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. http://www.spigen.com/brands/htc/htc-one-m8/htc-one-m8-case-ultra-hybrid.html

It wasn't supposed to ship until the end of the month, but I received notification that its supposed to be delivered today. I'm hoping this case doesn't have the yellow coloring like the Ultra fit capsule...ill let you know.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks a lot for your input. :)

I tend not to like TPU cases and was thinking about ordering the case mate "Barely There" (the "Naked Tough" seems too bulky) but it seems it's slippery and it seems hard plastic clear cases are susceptible to scratches, some users claim.

Meanwhile I found this on another thread and couldn't resist ordering because of the low price (3,20€), but it will take at least 2 weeks to get to Portugal.

It's ultrathin and made of TPU. Check it out:

[One (M8) Accessories] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I have used plenty of cases in the past (Otterbox, cruzerlite, seidio, incipio dual pro) and I was actually impressed how little bulk was added. For the amount of protection you get, I am very happy.
[One (M8) Accessories] andybones:
I have the black one, so I unfortunately can't speak as to the grip for the clear case but the black has a very nice matte finish that is GREAT for grip, having the phone bare was just too slippery for me and I had to find a case that would help fix this without too much bulk, I bought a couple cruzerlite cases, a TPU one and a few "print cases" these are basically like the barely there case, but very poorly made, the plastic sucks, and the build quality is horrible, the TPU case however I did keep and is very nice, but is a bit bulky, so I ordered the case.mate and I could not be happier. I am not a huge fan of the increasing screen sizes, and actually considered waiting for the m8 mini, but this phone is perfect and I will be happy on it for my 2 year contact.

If HTC makes a M9 I can see myself wanting the mini as I believe the M9 would most likely be too large, but that's for another thread, sorry.

[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
My Case Mate Barely There Clear arrived today. Overall I'm pleased that it offers minimal impact on the handsets aesthetics. It's slim and tidy and allows the HTC M8 to keep it's like on show while still offering a 'degree' of scratch protection. I only say scratch because like all these slim cases, they offer very little drop protection.

That's all the good stuff about the case. On the other side of the coin though it's only let down in two areas 1) top and bottom exposed 2) it's a shiny finish which means it's pretty slippery!

I'm risk assessing the slippery feel so I can still see the handsets design as it was intended!

Apologies for the crappy images, had to use my work Nokia Lumia.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
Did you considered the tough naked? Seems better from what other users say
[One (M8) Accessories] jaydeee007:
I ordered both the Case mate and the spigen for choice

the case mate went on too easily and obviously came off just as easily, it has no 'wrap over or around' at all.( it does not protrude even flush with the front chamfered edge)

it truly is 'barely there' and as such it is not a lot more than a scratch cover for the beautiful ally back . buttons are cut away making it even less there.

Its incredibly smooth and quite slippery and I felt it would not offer any protection if it slipped out of my hand (it would probably fall off before it hit the floor as it doesn't feel at all securely fitting)

so ......

It was packaged up and returned within minutes.

the Spigen ultrafit capsule is everything opposite....great fit, good protection, slight grippy feel, protrudes +1mm over edges to protect screen and front edge, buttons are covered but feel very positive when pressed....blah blah blah

BUT

it is tinted yellow!!!!!!!! in a daylight balanced room..yellow tint around edges....halogen lit room....yellow tint too, everywhere there is anykind of light it has a yellow tint around the bevelled front edge :(

thought I could live with it........NOPE it makes it look old and cheap!

so...........

It was packaged up and returned within hours.

My lovely new M8 is now wrapped in BLACK Spigen 2piece slim armour. AWESOME both for looks and protection

case closed

I used the Exact clear case (thread w pics here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713161) before moving onto the Poetic Atmosphere clear case. Would love to hear your take on those three cases, but I've read that a lot of the clear cases are similar or identical.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
True. But the first is TPU only very very thin (like the spigen but much thinner), the second like the amcase (Hard Plastic with integrated TPU bumper), the third is like the Case-Mate barely there. But the price of all of them together is cheaper than the case mate, for instance. Because I've never used a clear case and didn't want to spend 20 bucks (I am a cheap guy, hehe) not knowing which kind of case I would prefer, I decided to go like this. ;)
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Someone else in an amazon review mentioned using sharpie around the edge of the cutouts for the lens and flash. Would metallic (silver) sharpie work to counter this maybe? That way at least it wont look like an ugly black outline...

I just ordered one and now I'm worried it'll be yellow like you mentioned...but it even talks about a coating to prevent yellowing...so if it isn't crystal clear, I can probably RMA it...
[One (M8) Accessories] whmcal:
Sad to say, it will be yellow, particularly under certain light. On a positive note, the IR blaster works for me when case is on.

Still deciding between the Poetic Atmosphere case and Supcase Unicorn Beetle

Anyone have both?
[One (M8) Accessories] cpufrost:
While any opaque (blocking) color may indeed help with the "LISA effect", i.e. rim of case illuminating with flash, only the darkest mask (i.e. photographic flat black) will cure the flaring seen in pictures taken using flash. The cutout is also very close to the edge of the LED. This case essentially makes the flash useless.
