[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ransz:
If i was to buy an HTC one M8 directly from HTC or a supplier that doesnt sell the Verizon version, will the clean/ no blottwear HTC phone work smoother / faster / have better battery life ?

buttom line , is having a Verizon / AT&T or whatever phone effects performance / battery life ? or is it hardly noticeable ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
technically, yes, you will save battery. realistically, it's negligible (for me at least) the amount of battery saved without the verizon apps.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ransz:
guessing it would be crazy of me to sell my verizon HTC one m8 and get a fresh clean out of blottwear handset ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Absolutely crazy. You can go into app manager and disable most of the Verizon boat on stock.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ransz:
I disabled most of them , but not all. dont wanna cause the system to crash.. are there any blottwear apps not to be disabled ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
I disabled just about everything verizon or Amazon with no issues. There's a written list somewhere in the forums you can search for
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Napoleones:
Am thinking, yes, a phone that is not under any carrier will work do fine compare to those who are branded. Maybe because of those apps that's pre installed and will be running though your phone is off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brandogg:
Keep in mind that if you are on Verizon, then you can only use the Verizon version of the phone.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] GuestD0716:
Dear Developers,

Since a long time I have been wondering if there are any Project ongoing to create ROM which is independent to any of Google's/any other kind of Services. Indeed It sounds foolish but what I think is:

* Gmail being default email Client reading your mails

* Google Maps Knowing each Second exactly where you are.

* Chrome reading your Browser history.

* App with access to Contacts in Phone

* App who know our Location

* App which read our Messages

* Call Logs

* Apps with access to anything User Personnel

I have no experience of the Coding but is it really impossible to avoid any of the Interference of these Big Companies. I read that Microsoft Mobile OS are concerned about End Users Privacy.

What I mean is that are there any ROMs which are concerned for absolute Privacy?

If not shouldn't we look forward to them.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] iamrohit7:
Why don't you try not flashing gapps and use stock AOSP ROMs?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] GuestD0716:
Hello rohit,

Do you mean. ROMs which come by Default in Mobile. Then these also contain Third Party apps and Google Services.... Synchronizing everything.

I was hoping if there is a way of Simply avoiding any of Data Sharing.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] iamrohit7:
Flash just CM or AOKP or Slim etc and don't flash gapps. You're free from everything.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] GuestD0716:
Thanks, I would search some for my Explorer.

Would you like to suggest me any?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] iamrohit7:
Cyanogenmod or any AOSP ROM should be just fine.

Orange business support tell me the 5000 has been discontinued. Initialy it was simply showing as out-of-stock (friday 4th, the day they agreed to give me one as an upgrade), but now they say it's discontinued.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
I was trying to buy one in Orange last Friday, and they still sell them, but consider them obsolete, replaced by Hermes.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SimonPearse:
they told me that they have no stock and that none of the orange shops have stock, and that there would be no more deliveries to them... are you saying you know of an orange shop that does have stock?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Orange on Cheapside, London had them on Friday. They didn't seem to sugest that they were out. I'm going down there a little later today, so I'll try to ask if they have more. Otherwise, give them a call!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SimonPearse:
thanks...I realy want a 3g unit with a keyboard and a 1024*768 screen that fits in my pocket, and runs remote desktop. VGA will be tolerable, but qvga will be a challenge!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
SimonPearse: I really want an 8 inch device that won't fit in my pocket, but it's not happening... :oops:

I spoke to the guy at Cheapside today, (Cheapskates, they told me I'd get £50 trade in, and gave me £10), and he said that he could find some Universals on the sales system around the country. You can try getting them to do a stock order for you.

The Universal is a nice system, but I wonder if HTC has backed out of that form factor, but replacing their only VGA device with the Hermes, as nice as it is, is quite a slap in the face for that technology.

FYI, I've been told that VJFullscreenTSC can be run with a virtual screen app to run Terminal Services/Remote Desktop at 1024x768 on the Universal.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] columbo:
I had a similar problem. The Orange call centre had offered me a discount for the phone. Then me they had just discontinued the M5000 and although I was aware of some being in stock in one or two of the shops, I was told that they couldn't arrange a discount with the shops because the shops were all franchises.

I arranged to disconnect, and then wrote a complaint to the executive office. A week later, I got a call from a nice lady saying she managed to track one down in a shop nearby. She said if I paid for it at the shop, then Orange would send me a refund for the agreed discount.

I received mine on Thursday. I like it a lot and the screen is amazingly clear. However, it can be very slow and impossible to use without a memory card and a bit of tweaking. These boards will tell you most of what you need to know.

That might be why they've been trying to rid of it. Also, they are heavily promoting their new SPV M3100, which has just as good specs, except that it is smaller and not a clamshell, so may not meet your requirements.

Having said that, after I did the tweaking and installed a 1gb memory card (just over a tenner if you shop around on the net: got mine from 7dayshop.com) it works a treat! I have fallen totally in love with it. I previously had an M2000.

If I were you, I would suggest to Orange that, since they had agreed to give it to you on an upgrade, they do the same thing with you as they did with me (as long as you can spare cash in you account until they refund you whatever discount you asked for).

You will have to go to the store and collect it. I do know of a store in Kent that had some on Thursday. PM me if you want to know where, or if there is any more help I can be.

Hope you are able to track one down.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cmonex:
why not?

want it to be a clamshell or not? i will be able to give you recommendations in either case

[Networking] justmpm:
It is usually best to hit the report button, we will find it faster. I also have some bad news. Framily referrals are not allowed on xda. One of the points of Framily is for you to use social networking to advertise for Sprint and that would be against the rules. The only referrals that are allowed are for cloud based storage and those have to go into the specific thread for them in OT.

Sorry!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droidkevlar:
So I have a few camera apps I use to monitor my cameras at home. Recently, I have been unable to use them with the DDNS address I have created when off wifi. I can connect to it on wifi, but once I lose wifi, it stops allowing it. If I put the real IP address, I have 0 problems. I tested on a Note 3, and iPhone 5S, with no issues. Any ideas?

Also, I have tried multiple ROMS and still same issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droidkevlar:
Tested this on vzw firmware and it works fine. Seems to be an issue with int'l firmware based ROMs.

Any thoughts on how to fix? I love me some IC and dont want to give it up over something so minor.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Disastro:
I recently bought a used AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 that came with 4.4.2 and NC1. I have a Net10 SIM in it and everything works save for MMS messaging. I created a new APN with the correct Net10 settings and selected it but the AT&T APN is greyed-out cannot be removed and appears to still be in use in regards to MMS (there's a little box that says "Turn APN on/off" that can't be unchecked).

I've been scouring this site for the past few days an cannot find a solution for just deleting a "locked" APN from this phone. I was hoping to find an easy solution but everything points to downgrading to get root and then manually deleting of editing the offending APN? Need to get this working regardless so it doesn't matter how difficult this will be.

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexen2006:
Hello,

I have a issue that is bothering me since my past phone, however I haven't been able to find a solution on the web, so I finally decided it was time to ask the experts on XDA.

When I'm on a call on my nexus 5 using the loudspeaker (while driving or while using my PC at work), the screen locks after a period of time (which I guess it is the time I have set up on the display settings) after that I can't unlock the screen without clicking the power button, however I have my phone set up to end the call when I press the power button during a call, so every time the screen is locked during a call I have to end that call and redial, this is quite frustrating during calls to automated systems (when you have to input the options you are looking for) or while on a call with a coworker and suddenly you have the need to get another person into a conference call.

I know that if I use the phone on the ear (not on speaker mode). It works flawlessly as the sensor turn on or off the screen, but while on speaker it does not work that way.

Is there something wrong with android in general or with the nexus 5 only? Or it is there a setup I'm missing?

I know an option it to disable the power button ends call option, but this is a "smart" phone it should have to be smart enough not distinguish between ending the call and unlocking the screen during a call.

Isn't there an app for that? Or a workaround?

I know we can survive without these fickle requests but hey It will be a nice feature to have on either the phone or the OS

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batmanforever69:
Never heard of this before.

I think it's something with the proximity sensor on the right side of the speaker above the screen. Well, I think you should disable the End call on power button option.

Normally, as soon as you move the phone from your face, the sensor detects the distance and starts the screen.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
how can it tell if you want to end the call or try and turn the screen on? it might be a smart phone, but it doesnt know your intentions.

disable that option if you want to do what you're wanting to do.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexen2006:
Nope, not rooted yet, I purchased my Nexus 5 on the US playstore but I live in Mexico, so I might root it after warranty expires, The nexus 5 is quite expensive in Mexico, so if something happens to my phone after rooting I will be pretty much phone orphan for a while :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexen2006:
Well I didn't meant it to guess what I want to do, I meant something like an "if" command line, for example ( I don't know jack about android coding)

If speaker = Off

and

Screen = on

or

Screen = off

Then

Power button = End call

If speaker = On

and

Screen = on

Then

Power button = End call

If speaker = On

and

Screen = off

Then

Power button = unlock screen

Something like that...

Hope this makes sense
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexen2006:
Hi batmanforever69 (that's a cool nickname)

Yes the proximity sensor works, after I take the phone away from me it turns the screen on, but I left it away from me eventually the screen locks, I tried volume buttons, shaking the phone, tapping the screen on several places, and bring the phone to my ear then away again, but nothing worked... Only power button and of course it ends my call :(

I wonder... What about the LG G2... That phone has the knock on feature... That must work for this issue... I hope Google can integrate the knock on code on future android releases

The Cyberon app comes embebed in the OS and for me is a good voice recognition app. However I noticed that a lot of users are using MS Voice Command instead. In your opinion, Is MS Voice Command better than CYBERON voice? Thank you
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PointZero:
MS Voice Command does not require voice tags for voice dialing. Also, it can be used to launch applications in addition to the voice dial.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] anothersmith:
It's my opinion that MS VC is smoother than Cyberon voice. If you plan on using a voice activation program it's worth the $
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kmozis:
My Cyberon supports launching applications and other actions as well...

Everybody says how good is MS Voice Commander, but do you know if this program supports also another languages. I suppose that if there is no need for any voice tags for this program it has to expect the command with some pronunciation. And of course, I would like to use czech language, because czech names with english pronunciation do not sound well :lol:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dcoelho:
the language is, in fact, the reason of my question. I am portuguese that have leraning some english in school. I am using a WWE Rom in my wizard. I am a little afraid that MS voice command don't like my english pronunciation of portugueses names. If Cyberon has portuguese language pack probably is a better choice for me ... for now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edsub:
If I have to choose I prefer MSVC. Because it doesnt need voice tags. major drawbacks:

- Its based on english language fonetics (so I have to pronounce the dutch names in my contacts in an english way).

- Its activation doesn work allways if youre using bluetooth

- It consumes quite some resources

And I found this link http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=moto_msm8960&type=snapshot

Can we just download and flash the zip or do we need to something more to make it compatible to atrix hd?

Anyone tried it?

Thank you.

[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Yes sir, atrix hd is on that group. So go ahead and flash with the developers precautions and warnings.
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
Thanks. Just flashed and it worked well. Seems that we have more function and option than CM11 M2 which is created for Atrix HD. Dont see any prob, will use it and test more.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jubarim:
Please let us know the results!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Arjomer:
Well... the M5 one was really stable and I guess the M6 one will be better because of a newer version.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jubarim:
I just flashed my atrix with this M6 version. Until now everything is OK!

I will let you know if I have any issues
[Motorola Atrix HD] jubarim:
Well, not everything is OK :crying:

My phone is freezing from time to time, I can't use this build... I did a clean install in M6...

So I guess I will try a dirty flashing of newer nightly builds, if it does not resolve, I will have to go back to older builds before unification.

Until now I could not find any good build after unification...
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
M6 was really buggy for me too. Tons of random reboots abs freezing. M5 was rock solid for me though, so you might want to try that...
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
I also got many bugs, maybe will give M5 a try. Thanks
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
That shouldn't be too much of a surprise. CM11 nightly builds have been having issues for a while now....just because CM is to a stable point doesn't mean that CM on our device is at a stable point.

Check the RAZR HD CM11 forums, there are some nightlies there that have these issues resolved, Carbon already has those fixes, and the other roms oughta get them soon.

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

Just getting your attention for the end of the above post :p
[Motorola Atrix HD] jubarim:
Thanks for the info! I will try that for sure.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Thanks for the tip! Looks like the fix was merged in the 5/17 nightly so I'll be trying out one of the most recent CM nightlies. There's no reason that Carbon would be any more stable than CM right? It's built on CM sources after all right?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Other roms might lag a day or two behind CM in the fix department. For example, Carbon and PAC didn't get the fix until the 18th. It really depends on the rom, if it uses forks or directly uses CM, and when the custom rom is built.
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
I tried M5 and it work perfectly. Only a missing option in setting is turning on/off mobile network which is present in M6 :D
