[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] over88mph:
Hangouts does not work with Wifi Calling MMS on Tmobile.

Searching "htc one m8 google play edition wifi tmobile mms" yields tons of discussions of problems.

Apparently tmobile will not allow 3rd party text apps to take advantage of MMS on wifi only.

The only solution appears to be using "stock messaging" to send MMS on wifi. But GPE does not have "stock messaging" only hangouts.

However, Tmobile has told me the GPE does not support wifi calling at all, so I'll be sending it back.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grentuu:
Just go for the sense version
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] over88mph:
Yep, getting one today.

Will return my GPE as soon as it gets here.

I would have loved to try stock, but I need that wifi calling.

Hi guys. Im going to china next week and i am hoping to pick up a new M8! Im also considering the Z2 as i know for a fact that Private Place is working on the sony.

Its a special app made for keeping phone logs and messages away from family eyes. Like a separate phone book and phone/ messaging app.

For me this is a number 1 priority app i cannot live without. I would very much appreciate if someone gave it a try and reported back on if it is working correctly:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.security.firewall

Please please test it with sense messenger and with hangouts if you can. On my nexus its working on hangouts but only if message threadd are initiated from Private Places internal composer.

M8 is like $100 cheaper than the Z1 at shanghai tech markets so i really want to go with it (and its metal woo), but ill take the sony of there is trouble with call Privacy.

Thank you!

be careful with the HTC one m8s from china. they might be knockoffs...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
I will! I did read that somewhere. My experience in hong kong was excellent, and I assume any brand new HTC products would be imported from there, much the same as in Russia and Europe.

The problem is usually that they have only one or two handsets in the entire "market", and they rarely unseal the phones.

I'm probably better off just getting it off alibaba or in Moscow, but I'm not comfortable with paying $800 so I guess I'll just have to de!and that they show me the phone.

Been searching threads and keep coming across different answers so im not entirely sure of the answer... im currently on the NB4 modem,since ive installed it my battery life has been horrendouuuuus! Phone literally will not last more than 5 hours (if i wanted that id have got an Iphone lol) and thats with very light usage since im at work most of the day... I know its not the Rom im on (INsane Kitkat) cuz ive tried different roms and its the same problem,and the only thing that has changed has been moving to NB4... is it possible to go back to whatever the modem before this one was (no clue which it is) or am i stuck with NB4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Did you take the OTA 4.4 or are you still on the MDL bootloader with nb4 modem? We need to know this to see if you can downgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
my phones been rooted since day one i did nothing OTA,everything was done manually.... but to be sure how do i check? lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Have you tried a different kernel to address your battery issue?

Settings/More about device. If you have done everything manually then you can flash another modem. Flash mk2 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 ONLY flash the mk2 modem. Open Odin, uncheck auto-reboot and load the modem in the phone slot. Put phone in download mode plug it in and flash the modem. Once it pass comes up unplug phone and pull battery. Go back to download mode and reflash the modem. Reboot and you should be good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
yea i have tried different kernels,at first it was "Android system" just draining **** crazy when i first switched to NB4,and i got on Ktoonez and after messing around wit it a bit i finally got that fixed but my battery drain is still crazy,even if its just sittin around... thanks ima try flashing that now,i'll post back with results
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
You need to do some detective work to find the culprit, I had a similar issue once and was able to track it down to the phone staying awake for ever, like 14+ hrs when I wasn't using it.

One was Ipservice, other was wifi on while on data network.

You can find these when looking at your battery history in settings.

Settings - more - battery - tap battery graph at top to see the battery history.

It will look like these samples, here are some before and after screen shots.

Also d/l CPU Spy, it will help track your cpu usage vs deep sleep mode.

Just checked that, it shows Wi-Fi full bar but my Wi-Fi isn't even on,I rarely use it at all really
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
That's the battery hog you want to tackle.

Make sure in wifi advance settings that wifi in never on unless plugged in.

If you have it checked off already toggle it on then off.

If that doesn't do it with wifi turned off do a battery pull for one minute, then replace battery start phone and let it sit for a while, then check your battery history and see if it's still running.

There may also be an app or setting in Google location that's keeping it on.

K I'm gonna try that, but now I have another problem...all of a sudden I can't play any audio files, music or video, don't know what the hell happened smh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Try reflashing your Rom, or try Fenny's stock base Rom just so you can troubleshoot your issues.

I'm on Fenny's v. 1.2 with no mods. On a heavy day with milk music playing for 2 hrs I'll get 12 to 16 hrs, on light days 20+ always have battery to spare.

Have you done a factory reset? May be your last resort, and flashing a different Rom that's close to stock. How about a nandroid where everything is working.?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Sure way to get sound back is to go back yo 4.2 stock and root again then flash the mk2 modem only. Don't worry about voiding your warranty. You will be fine till you decide to reset everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
yea i just got home a little while ago so and now in the process of factory resetting,i tried of a nandroid earlier in the day and that didnt work with the whole no sound thing so now this is where im at...hopefully this works cuz im definetly out of ideas lol... will report back,and thanks for the help so far guys really appreciate it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
It was happening to a lot of us when we updated to the mk2 modem with the mdl bootloader. You'll get your sound back when you back get to stock. All you have to do after that is flash the mk2 modem twice and I also recommend Ktoonzes kernel.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

Download and flash the mk2 modem.bin only. Flash twice so it sticks. You should have working sound.

back on stock and still no sound when the phone boots up,and if i even attempt to do anything with sound (raise volume/go to sound settings) the phone will just freeze up,this is driving me nuts! On top of that the phone is now super sluggish with this no sound thing happening...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Which stock rom did you flash?

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

I've used this in the past to get back to stock. It's the original UVUAMDL.

http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-sgh-m919-tmb-m919uvuamdl-1366964131-zip/ always wipe data, cache and dalvik after flashing stock firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
pure stock (M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5) ive tried a restore also and that gets the phone running a little smoothly but still no sound...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
OK. I'm going to look into it right now and get back to you shortly. I remember other people having the same issue as you. I can't remember exactly how they fixed it but the bootloader is tied to it all. Try flashing the MDL bootloader only. It should be included in the root MDL thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
k i'll try and find that thread and see what happens... thanks again for your help man

edit: actually i had already tried that from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678774 and still nothing... im back on a backed up version of Insane KitKat (i think v8) since at the moment thats the only Rom that runs even remotely smoothly,but still no sounds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
OK. I'm familiar with that thread. Did you flash the modem twice? I unchecked auto reboot and flashed once then pulled battery and got back on download mode and flashed one more time and rebooted. Everything works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
Yup flashed twice followed instructions exactly still nothing lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I'm leaning towards the possibility of the modem not sticking. It's the only way that the sound would fail to work. When we were able to update to the mk2 modem we had to flash twice and use KT kernels to retain sound. Which baseband does your phone say it has. Look in settings/more about phone. Also can you please boot in download and tell me the bootloader version it says you have?

Thank you for your patience!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
When you say no sound do you mean when you get a call or all sounds in general?

Literally no sounds at all, no music, notifications, videos nothing. And when I boot into download everything says custom,and the knox warranty stuff is their too...

googling this i came across a thread for a different version of the S4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2576488 ) person was having the same problems as me,maybe that can help..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Why don't you just flash the full NB4 firmware? That'll probably fix your sound and modem issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
where can i find the full version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
That you can find at sammoble.com but it will take a long time to download, I would try a modified stock rom like Fenny's 4.4.2 stock Deodexed, it's very close to stock with just a few tweaks.

But you still need to stick the modem, your reference for the similar tread also relates to a combination of latest firmware and modem reflashing.

Check this out and follow the instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51017878

Good luck.

That's what people are doing to fix it but the problem is you will get knox and if you root that you'll void your warranty. I think if you need repairs T-Mobile Will take it with Knox tripped but I don't know about Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSleezkIng:
I've already tried a stock version of fenny didn't work,I also did the stuff in that thread,and that gets youtube to start to load the video but then nothing, which is better than before where it would just freeze everything and I'd just have to close it. Right now the only thing working smoothly is on an old backup but I still have no sound, any other Rom is sluggish as hell lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Hey I want to thank you for your patience. I found a thread that says guys lost all sound when flashing cm11 and got sound back by flashing their respective gsm and LTE modems. We should try that next. Flash both modems from MDL. This is the way they got their sound back. They are both included in the stock MDL you downloaded just unzip and look for it. Once you find them extract them to your desktop so you can find them easily and flash in Odin. It's worth trying.

Hey guys, since 4.4.2 has arrived.. I think its fair to create a thread where all of us can report whatever bugs exist in 10.5.A.0.230.. So that Sony can see this and fix them.. Or it might help our devs.. :)

EDIT:

Bugs i found,

1. Wifi gets disabled by itself, a simple reboot solves it though.

2. Small stuttering on the notification bar.

3. RAM leak exists but gets fixed after a reboot(Google's 4.4.2 bug and its fixed in 4.4.3).

4. GPU drivers arent as good as in 4.3..

5. Over time, the fw becomes unstable'ish and shows some lags and apps take time to open.

6. Sometimes calls won't reach the other side and when it does, the caller(us) wont be able to hear anything from the other side.. This happens a lot like once in every 2-3 days..

7. Sometimes after video recording, there is no sound in the video.. Its MUTE..

7. All 4.4.2 Google's bugs..

If u have any other to add, mention me and i'll add em.. ;)

Fixes:

Most of the bugs are solved automatically after a simple reboot, if u face lags do wipe cache and dalvik cache and u will see the difference..

Google Play Services battery drain bug can be solved by disabling the Location service.

Im still on 4.3 but confirmed info from my friend:

Camera app slower start, typical is 7sec but max was 14-17sec, and overall laggy camera menu.

Stock keyboard slower start, and laggy text select option.

Overall speed of menu is worst.

No audio notification via bluetooth

Battery "sucker" system apps.

4.4 stupid SD card limitation(but its google stupid idea)

Worst performance with GTA: SA

PS enabling Force-GPU Rendering or {omg} 4x MSAA is worst thing that you can do, because it make older apps lag or even FC.

Not this but a xposed module, it works as it should.

Same performance in games (Real Racing 3), slightly better battery usage, almost same RAM usage, no lag in notification bar/area, for now superstable and smooth.

Saw someone posted that there's no the letter " L " to tap while pressing the 4.4.2 3 times,it just turns black screen,and few more press to reach the Android KitKat logo.

We need to fix ourself...
[Xperia Z General] zeroed:
It was expected,seems like they didn't put much effort into this,just to give us "something".I knew it they are not delaying the release just to perfect the firmware,but oh well,going back to my favorite AOSP.It was the same case back then,when they released 4.3 journalists version,then they gave us the very same firmware as official,despite the bugs that everyone was reporting.We got what we deserve I guess.

I have a sony SBH50 and I also experience the "dropouts" when I play my music. If this gets worse, I'll probably switch back to 4.3
[Xperia Z General] ravdo:
Is your music FLAC?

Because FLAC playback is broken in 4.4 - 4.4.2 if played using android's native FLAC codec which is used by most music apps.

It happened to me (using Walkman and Player Pro without DSP Pack), and I fixed it by using Player Pro+DSP Pack activated.

[Xperia Z General] blaggard:
I guess the point is that the battery drain effectively makes the phone unusable and while it is primarily a Google problem the Sony ROM seems to be suffering to a much greater extent, my Nexus 7 has suffered a small hit whereas my Phone is only up for about 6 hours. . .and that's in standby. I haven't rooted my Android devices in the last year or two and have no intention of doing so. . . . . . . I might just buy a Nexus 5 and done with!

I was having a similar problem, however i don't use stamina. I was getting signal dropouts seemingly randomly since I had upgraded, this was fixed when i changed the network mode to wcdma(prefered)/gsm, previously it was preferring LTE. I'm guessing the reason this hasn't been highlighted more is it would only occur if your network offered LTE but your plan didn't include it, so the phone was finding an LTE signal for my network but then realising i couldn't use it (although i was in the same position on 4.3 with no issue), hope this helps anyone having this issue.
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
We know they will fix it though as the rest of the Z series have been getting new versions. Sony were caught between missing the deadline and how long it would take to fix. They could've released this at the beginning of May but then we would've had bugged up phones for longer!
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
Disappointed about how often the buzzing in music occurs. I don't have forced GPU rendering on and it still happens, with in-ear headphones, a headset and just using the speaker. Tried using G.Play Music and Walkman. Disappointing, but I can't be bothered to downgrade.
