[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sharksfan7:
Is there a faster way to unmount a usb flash drive than going through Settings>Storage>Unmount? Tried to find a way to add a shortcut but doesn't seem option is available. I tried StickMount but when I unmount through that, it says the drive has been unmounted but it has not. It still shows up in the file explorer. And going to Settings>Storage shows it's still mounted. I would prefer if there was something in the notification panel (like what StickMount adds) or a Quick Settings tile I could just tap to unmount completely. Anyone know of an Xposed mod or something that can add this? Or a custom ROM that has this built in?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Solarenemy68:
Uhm just unplug it. If the app that was using it has been terminated then the drive is not being read or written too any longer and data would not be corrupted. Android is not like a PC in the fact it constantly monitors a USB drive changes. So just unplug it. I do it all the time and have never had an issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Am I an idiot or is the only way to record a video is turning off the screen and then holding it landscape and hitting volume?

Whenever I hit the camera app while it is unlocked, it only gives me camera and selfie options. I can't find any video recorder shortcut.

This is on the latest firmware (after the OTA).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Pauls57:
If you open the camera app. Tap the button in the lower right, you should see a page with options, one of which is video
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
There's no button in the lower right.

The button on the lower left only gives me selfie and camera.

I just got the phone today and haven't done anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Pauls57:
Back to the store I think, probably something wrong with the phone software, but if you haven't altered anything, they should just exchange it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
I figured out the problem.

It's cause I changed to the Google Now Launcher.

Can't believe the camera relies on BlinkFeed...

Is there any way to get around this? Or any other launchers that don't do this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Pauls57:
I'm using apex launcher, with a shortcut to activate blinkfeed, like it a lot, no issues with the camera or anything else that I've found. Glad you got it working.

Hi Guys,

Thought i should post this story as some may find interesting

After having my new M8 for 4 days and leaving the phone screen up on my desk, my 4 year old while reaching for a stone she had previously brought me a few days earlier, dropped the stone straight onto the screen breaking it.

I wasn't too happy, but accidents happen and we have grown attached to her and my wife wouldn't let me put her up for adoption.

I tried a couple of local phone repairs places who all refused to take it on. Finally contacted HTC to see if they would repair. Firstly i tried the "why don't we have screen cover in Europe" which didn't work, in the end agreeing i would need to pay for the repair.

HTC organised UPS to collect and i have to say the service was excellent and you all will be pleased to hear total cost to replace screen, including pick up and return....£106...

Yep surprised me too.

We may not have HTC advantage in Europe but at least they are not ripping us off either.

I hear you! Have a nearly 4 year old too, I can understand your pain!

That's not too bad a price really, good to know. The Advantage program looks to be heading our way soon:

HTC M8 Screen Repair

Hi,

My puppy got hold of my HTC M8 this morning and I stumbled across this site looking for an idea of cost to repair, can I ask you how badly yours was damaged, mine in the the top right hand corner, but it appears to have affected the whole screen, touch still works all over it though so guessing that's a good thing?

I've arranged for them to pick it up tomorrow, dreading the bill, but got to have it fixed, only got it last Monday :crying:

Many thanks for any info

htc one m8 screen warratn

to be honest felt cheated, because like me if you have orderd phone straight away while looking at HTC one M8 mobile launch there was not clarification made by the person who annouced six months screen warranty which otherwise applies to anywhere in world.

if someone at the top level talking about features, specs and all other sales promises then should be aware about the importance of it when saying it in front of the global audience.

now when contacted HTC i have been asked to read terms and conditions. since HTC desire I have bought every phone they launched. But not anymore.

Personally felt that there is nothing for being loyal to brand anymore.

Me now saying good bye to HTC, doesn't matter how good they are but for me they cheat.

Qualcomm rates the quality of their CPU by a PVS Bin #. From what I read the higher your PVS number the more you can undervolt/overclock. I'm not sure how many PVS values exist for the Snapdragon 800 in our phones. I have a PVS Bin 2 which is pretty low and it probably can't handle too much undervolting. If you want to find out which CPU you have then you can dial 3845#*(the 3 digit # of your model in my case it's 959 because I have the D959 variant)#. This should bring you to the "hidden menu" click "settings" then "version info" and at the bottom you should see "PVS Bin" I don't know if this will work outside of T-Mobile 4.2.2

Hi guys, and big brains of the phones technology, im trying to keep myself calm, but my phone its not working and I am exausting of conecting cables, reading things and doing downloads, and I think I completely kill my phone.

1- I made everything we need to do to root the phone, everything probably went well, after doing everything instaling recovery and all that stuff was a htc, dialer not responding and a lot of apps not working, not a big deal, I download a rom and pass to the phone problem fixed.

2- after instaling and rebooting the phone was always going to recovery and after instaling the same rom and trying to reboot always going to recovery. The recovery was the TWRP, after realizing that was impossible to go further with that one and passing another one to the phone e try the usb obg or something, was failing all time to apply a rom and going back to the recovery.

3.Until here nothing alarming if u go the recovery its nothing lost, so I was keeping my hope, so in a very amazing post that seems to by my problem, I read, recovery bad instaled, so instal another one, bad ideia, now its stock on the recovery but its stuck on the red triangle stuff and I can do more nothing that let the batery finish and charge to see going back to de same place without any chance of going in the bootloader do the fastboot and run another recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] Devil0per:
So I herd bad stories about these Android TV sticks, they are buggy, have performance issues and come with crappy control apps.

I am wanting to go for the following setup and it appears also more flexible, except I am not sure how good an experience I can expect.

Basically I want to do the following:

TV + PTV 3000 Miracast dongle

Nexus 7 2013 + Dock (Nexus will stand horizontally) plugged into charger.

This sounds good to me because I can get a Nexus 7 second hand for very little money, I know its a solid and supported Android device and it will double up as a tablet anytime I pull it out of the dock. I also don't need a webcam as the dock with tablet will stand on the coffee table.

However I have some questions:

- Can I install some sort of app/autorun or make a shortcut icon for the Nexus to attempt to connect automatically to the miracast dongle.

- I herd with miracast I can't switch off the Nexus 7 screen as it will kill the TV image as well. Is there an app/mode that would suppress that default ? Perhaps getting some DLNA dongle would be better ?

- I m wishing there's an app that can run whilst miracast mirroring is on, but this app is a controller app (Like keyboard and or trackpad) and the app itself does not get cloned onto the TV ! That would be awesome.

- In general will it suffice for watching HD movies without lag ? Not after gaming.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jtchinoy:
Hi everyone,

I frequently install new custom ROMs on my i337. I use Naver LINE as my primary messaging app, but your account is tied to your email and supposedly the device ID. If it doesnt match, it will delete your chat history.

I tried using Titanium Backup to restore my previous ID when putting in a new ROM but LINE still recognized the phone as a new device. Anyone have an idea on how to make the new ROM get recognized as the previous one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TASL:
Backup the LINE APP+DATA and SETTINGS (system apps). Install new ROM process whatever. Restore LINE APP+DATA. Manage Android ID, restore from backup (should be one option available). Click yes, let it reboot. Everything should be in LINE again in the new rom. Tested over 50 times as I am also a flashaholic.

Idk what went wrong with your method, but you didn't mention that you backed up and restored LINE APP+DATA before trying to restore the Android ID. If you already tried that... idk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jtchinoy:
I think what I missed in this post is I didnt restore app data. I did exactly wgat you said on my flash last night and it worked! Does this work between different ROMs? Not just updates of the same ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TASL:

backup issue

Hi, TASL.

You may or may not be viewing any replies on this topic anymore, but in case you are, would you be able to explain the steps you have provided in as much detail as possible?

I am completely new to android and have never used Linux before either. I have been putting in some hard yards over the past few days and burned around 6 hours of trying to understand all the related jargon and acronyms (relating to backing up Naver Line) but it is starting to take its toll lol.. This is like learning a whole new language.

I followed some of what you have said but there are areas I could not work out no matter how hard I tried.

I.E. SETTINGS (system apps). There are many places where the words settings are inside the OS I found. In the OS itself, inside Naver Line etc... I have no idea where to find it.

"Manage Android ID". What is that and how is it done exactly?

So, if you or anyone else for that matter could please write a (Literally) step by step guide that would be just awesome. Because I have failed many attempts thus far and yet I will keep on trying. I can't see that light at the end of the tunnel just yet. :(

NB: I will add though, after weeks of trying I finally succeeded in installing a ROM on one of my androids. That was just HELL!! :D I'm not giving in though! :good:

From an old bloke, cheers for the understanding...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TASL:
This process requires ROOT and Titanium Backup:

1. Select "Backup All System Data"

2. Select "SETTINGS" Storage is the only one I think you need, but back up both anyways (as pictured)

**The above steps will backup your Android Device ID, which LINE requires to be identical to the restored data ID**

**After you have backed up LINE and SETTINGS and done whatever it was that required you to move your LINE app**

1. Select "Restore All Apps With Data" and check LINE (app+data)

2. Navigate to Titanium Backup's main menu, scroll down to "Manage Android ID ..." which should bring up a window with an option "Restore Android ID from a backup" which when clicked should show one backup... click that, it will prompt you to restart, restart... done.

I'm not the best instructions guy, but let me know if that helps clear up the process.

Hey TASL,

A big thanks for the effort you put in there.

I am going to give it a go again and I'll post my experience with it.:fingers-crossed:

Through my previous attempts with this (using two other site/posts to help or confuse) I had ended up downloading SQlite manager, Titanium, Bluetooth File Transfer, Easy Backup, FX explorer and FX explorer root add-on. You can see I was going down the rabbit hole there.. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SlaveToTech:
Back. I've been out for a few hours training. Been back for 30 minutes. Started on backing up of Line and camera. The new phones was in a 'Building app data size....or something or rather for around 5 minutes. Then changed to a screen report showing 'Overview of app storage use ' window.

Obviously I am not sure if this is supposed to happen.

Then I tried to 'Manage Android Id'.......No can do. I need the 'Donate version' of Titanium it says. Hmm..I couldn't find the donate version so I suppose I would have to pay the $7.50 for the PRO version to get this to work. :(

I'll get back when i've come to a solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SlaveToTech:
Ok. I finally succeeded in backing it up onto the new phone. The only issue here is that When opening Line I need to enter the password 'twice'. Also a message appears courtesy of Line, telling me that I have accessed this account on another device therefore and that all the information will be deleted.

At this point I just tap back instead of tapping on the 'OK' button.

This probably came about because I had installed Line onto my new device and opened it before using this backup guide. As the above message is what I saw when I had done that. This is a bit of an issue as I will need to step carefully least I accidentally hit the 'OK' button and then having line remove all of the chat. :(

Bummer.

What a huge oversight by Naver Line in not incorporating a chat transfer option. Seems like an awfully stupid 'think tank' idea from the suits in the oval office. Perhaps they know something I don't. :confused:

Again thanks for the guide TASL. This will definately help in future and next time I'll get it right on the first go. Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SlaveToTech:
Just an update to my user experience.

I have removed the Line app and re-installed from the market.

Not only was it tedious to tread carefully around the 'OK' confirmation button from line I couldn't send text messages either.

So I have failed in getting this too work.

The household is getting a new (but second hand) SG3 very soon so I will try the method on that device before activating line on it.
