[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wormyMNT:
Chill out man... If you know anything about the cell phone market, you know they come out with the newest phones at least twice a year or close to it.. 1. around the beginning of the year and 2. Around Christmas time.... If you have a 2 yr contract then it doesn't matter cause you can't upgrade anyways, unless you buy it out right.. which is why I went on the Verizon edge program, so I can get the newest phone whenever I want it. Buy the next newest phone I will have this one 1/2 paid off, so I can get a new one. So I'm good. If you have a problem with how they come out with phones, then maybe you should get on the edge program

This. Unless you're one of those guys who just has to have the latest and greatest, it's not really that big of a leap forward in technology for me to get my panties in a bunch over.

So the m9 is supposed to come out in Q1 2015.....aaand the m8 came out in Q1 2014 ....So what's everybody so pissed about?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dan409:
Purchased an HTC M8 from a friend that seems like was flashed to T-mobile. I tried everything and various roms (revolution, viper, bonestock) and the stock vzw RUU to get the phone back to verizon. The APN file is still showing all t-mobile files in it.

Also if I go into settings>Network preference: It shows all european networks ie: vodafone UK ,Claro dom,JP DOCOMO, all GSM/UMTS.

I called verizon to verify the IMEI and sim and they both checked out to be verizon, so I know its a verizon phone. Has the VZW logo on the back also.

I cannot make calls or get any internet connection with it. Tried changing all of the network settings, replaced the sim card and so far no go. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some help.I have searching and tried various procedures for the past 2 days without any luck.

Strange thing is the 4G icon is there and when i try to connect to the internet the bars below it become active but I always get the same message: Cannot connect to the internet.

The phone is rooted, TWRP, S-off and CID 11111111 also.

Thanks for any help !
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gonzo237:
Check your IMEI number, settings>about>status http://swappa.com/esn use this site to see if its bad or not. If it is, the phone was probably reported stolen or the person who bought it didn't pay the monthly amount for the phone, so Verizon would have blacklisted it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dan409:
I called verizon and first verified that is was indeed a verizon phone which it is and it is ok to be activated. I took it to the store an they tried a new sim card but it did not work. No phone calls or data :(

No matter what RUU or rom i tried flashing when I check the apns-conf.xml file in System>etc it always ends up having T-mobile settings in there.

I have it rooted, S-off, SuperCID11111111, and nothing has worked so far. Very frustrated as I have been working on it going on 3 days. But not all is lost. I have have learned a lot trying to get it fixed. I just might end up sending it in to HTCand have them fix it. Sure would suck to have a $400 paper weight :)

Thanks for the reply..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dan409:
At boot time, Android determines the correct network configuration based on the MCC and MNC from the SIM card and automatically configure all network settings.

I have a verizon HTC One M8 (had my imei verified at a verizon store and esn was clean) with a new sim card and yet all of the files in my system>etc>apns-config.xml file are showing T-mobile.

Also in settings>Network Preference>all of the carriers are coming up vodafone, CLARO DOM, JP DOCOMO Swisscom and they are all GSM/UMTS.

Does anyone know why its not loading the proper files from my sims MCC and MNC ? This has been driving me crazy for the past 3 days trying to figure this out.

I flashed stock RUU and am s-off, unlocked, Super CID 11111111. Have no idea what is causing this.Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dan409:
Well, Sent it in for repair. Told the Customer rep the phone was roooted, Rom'ed, CID'ed and that I never got to activate it.

So just waiting to see what happens and will post when I find out the verdict.

BTW, they could tell when I gave them the IMEI the day that the phone was rooted. Is that possible ? Sure came as a surprise to me. Gave the lady the IMEI # and after about 1 minute she came back on and told me the phone was rooted on May 1st. I have no idea if that is true because I have only had the phone for 1 week now.
[Google Chromecast] leumas2003:
Hello everyone!

I just recently got myself a Chromecast to use specifically with Netflix and Hulu Plus (casting from an iOS device).

Thanks to this forum I knew how to proceed for everything beforehand, using Smart DNS in my router, blacklisting google's DNS servers, etc. I have a TP-Link router.

Netflix is working perfectly, bumps to the 720p stream in about 6 seconds and another 5-6 seconds later it streams at 1080p without any noticeable drops so far.

Hulu Plus however is being problematic. It might smart in HD (sometimes) but either a few minutes later or after the commercials it drops to SD quality and rarely ramps up again. Starting the stream again helps, but only for a short while.

As I currently don't have another H+ device to test, i was wondering if the hulu plus implementation with Chromecast is indeed flawed or if this is happening just to myself (I understand that being overseas might not help - although I'm not sure which CDN I'm getting the content from), but it's really annoying seeing all the godawful pixels on my screen constantly - the Ads... pfft, well, those are always in 720p, go figure!

Anyway, hopefully you'll be able to share your experiences with me!

Cheers, thanks.

Am I blind or there are no kernels for CM/AOSP based ROMS? I'm using Paranoid Android, but I'd really like to try out some other kernel, but I can't find any.

Could someone who has Total Commander installed on their Hermes quickly load it up, find a JPEG image on their device (if you don't have one, just snap a random photo with the camera) and then in Total Commander, tap and hold, go to Properties, go to the Associate tab, and hit Associate... please?

Once in there, could you copy out what values you have set for the image file association, so I can copy them onto my device to get image viewing working again! I installed DAVA 2003 and it's somehow royally screwed up my image assocation settings (all images are loaded in Internet Explorer, except they load completely wrong, the system tries to load them via iexplore.exe with the parameter file\:%1 which of course won't work)... Basically, either screenshot + upload your settings (which work properly of course ;)), or write them into a reply, just so I can get the right settings again! I reallllllly don't want to have to hard reset just to fix this one problem, but the default file association information is nowhere to be found on the Internet (at least as far as I looked, could be in subscription-only area of MSDN but I don't know and don't have a login anyway, but that site is a minefield anyhow)...

Much kudos and quite possibly a few eBeers will be sent to any person who can help me this quandary! :D

If you're after a screencapture app, I got Capture Screen free from fannsoftware.com which does the job alright, dumps the BMPs in the root of your main memory or storage card if you have one installed. 225kb each.

Many thanks for hooking me up with the settings though, it's been driving me NUTS since I managed to bork it! Knew I could rely on this place :D

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Bingo!

Works perfectly, thanks to both you guys for taking the time to get the settings for me :D Can't understand why that application changed the file association settings, cause IEM can't display images in the way it was being made to do... Very annoying.

Muchly appreciated, kudos to you both :)
[General Questions and Answers] MGREX:
Just to be clear I'm looking for a way to do this on a non-samsung device

So far I've found little, most multi-window apps are a collection of widgets that behave as windows with very limited functionality, and things like the Xposed modules are still kind of limited compared to samsung's offering.

Speaking of which, has samsung released any code from those apps?
[General Questions and Answers] jorandobnl:
Xposed Multi Window

Hi

give xposed multi window a try i think this is what you are looking for

Search on Youtube or Xda for it sorry i cant provide you a link newbie

XDA brass has decided to terminate Mr. Mars as a moderator. I truly believe he added professionalism and great knowledge to our threads. Thank you Mr. Mars for you numerous hours of volunteered time to our community! You will be missed!

I agree with all of you.. He made my life easier.. maybe the xda brass will reconsider if we all continue to let them know how valuable he was to us!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cerj:
Very sad day in the history of XDA... Gibbs me dats...I'm gonna C out.. Although he didn't get paid for being a Mod, he worked here like he did... He was always, a delight to read and talk to... He made all of our threads better by keeping it light but informative, with his own unique and colorful play on words.. He made XDA a better place for all, with his good natured but extensive knowledge.

I really thought he would be around to help the next gen of Devs and members.. I know he will be back better than ever... Jay C
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Agree with everything above, dude is on point and is always here to help and guide people... Curious as to the who, what, when, where and why though... I have to say the forums that I am part of, this phone forum definitely has more drama then I have ever seen... It's too bad to, what these devs and other people bring to not just our devices is amazing, yet petty bickering gets blown up and leads to craziness...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
Why was he demoted? There must've been a logical reason for such a decision. I'm an Admin at a car forum and such a decision is only made for a compelling and reasonable reason.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pbedard:
I hope they change there mind he always helped me when I had my note 3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Resolute Blue:
Is XDA a transparent outfit? Do they explain their decisions to the community? Does freedom of speech, transparency, democracy... are these things XDA champion? I would imagine all of what I mentioned helps the dev community flourish no? Is XDA a strong dictatorship where we can't question them? Can we as members have a clear explanation why he is gone? Strong regimes discourages creativity.

Freedom of speech or nothing. Liberty or death. Born free, hope to die free.

*edit* Once again, I'm taking a screen shot of this comment in case for whatever reason it somehow disappears... Suppressing speech is something dictatorships do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
I see that Micmars is still posting so I am glad about that. He has helped me and countless others, so hopefully by not having administrator tasks, he will be more free to provide his valuable assistance to all of us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KennyG123:
Let's talk about some of these comments for a second...first off XDA is not a public company with stock holders to answer to and disclosure regarding staff. If Micmars wants to let you know what happened that is up to him. XDA is NOT transparent with regards to staff actions...we respect each members privacy and do not discuss any actions regarding a member whether a moderator, RC, RD, or members. This is a private site with membership and a set of rules. There should be no illusion of free speech here....there are rules to follow and some of those do indeed restrict what you might consider "free speech." Again...private site, forum rules, not a democracy. You do have a right to respectfully question actions...we would really prefer it to be in private rather than disrupt threads...but no one censors respectful questions. Staff interactions and disciplinary actions have little affect on the development community and are always done to better development as this is a development site created by developers for developers. Everything we do are in the best interests of developers and development as best we can.

There is no doubt Micmars is an awesome contributor...otherwise he would not have made Recognized Contributor on the exact day he was eligible, nor make it into the moderator staff in record time. We all hope the best for him and REALLY hope he continues to do what he loves and help members. This is his true calling as he is one of the most helpful members any of us have seen. As stated we will not discuss the demotion, that is to protect Micmars privacy the same as we do not say "XXX123 got an infraction for warez." I will say that all moderators have people to answer to. We have very strict guidelines we follow and a very high level of trust. There is no "blue wall"...moderators do not have "free reign" to do as they like. We are all in teams of 8-12 members and like a Japanese mind set, we do not allow any member to bring dishonor to the rest...not to say that happened, Micmars knows and accepts responsibility like a true stand-up member for what happened. We wish him well and look forward to see him plugging away helping members any way he can!

Is there anyway I can root while on 4.2.2 MLG ? Or go back to mj5??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutantblack:
I think this should go to Q&A but the way I understand is you are on 4.4.2 right? Not 4.2.2 since note released on 4.3.

MJ5 baseband which means you are running custom rom. Cannot be stock.

If that's the case, you can do the MJ5 restore to go back to 4.3 but please post the pic of the about so we can confirm what rom you running.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutantblack:
Ah...I see Butch.

To OP,

My suggestion is not to get the OTA but rather get the root and flash the custom KK that is close to stock. You will always have a choice there if you wanna mess around later. Once you go OTA, no way to go back and no root nothing. Don't make a jump unless you absolutely sure you can live with it. Read and research thoroughly. A lot of people want to go back from OTA and stuck with it.

When I searched through my installed apps on my M8, HTC Dot View was nowhere to be found. Instead, it is listed as Dotmatrix. I wanted to install the HTC Dot View app from the Play Store so that I can get updates as they come available. When I searched for the "HTC Dot View" app in the Play Store, I get "your device isn't compatible with this version". I have a Canadian Rogers HTC M8 that I've unlocked. It is NOT rooted. Can someone shed some light on this issue for me?

Not bad but I would rather stick with the original which you can get for $35 on amazon. They should have done something different with this knockoff version.

im just a little worried if anything could go wrong. i mean i have backed up everything... EFS, nandroid backup etc.

So worst case scenario it just wont boot yeh? i can install a G900F stock rom back on through odin and everything will be ok?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babygau:
You will never know mate. The worst case is your device will be bricked ? it all depends on your nerve mate. There are still chances you could restore your bricked phone to normal by using odin, make sure you have a back up of your stock rom

My advice is to use custom rom

I live in australia and I bought a g900f which I believe is for uk or europe. For australia its g900i and I cannot install the firmware onto g900f. But when I installed gps toolbox it didn't even give me anything. I can understand its one thing to take a long time to get a lock but not seeing any satellites at all is another thing. Ive tried around 10 different gps.conf files designed for australia satellites
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babygau:
Ok, you can do it.

I intended to test it myself first coz I wanted to flash G900F on my G900I in reverse.

Now it's impossible for me coz unfortunately I have been ended up with downloading corrupted firmware due to unreliable internet connection (5 times 2day so far)

If you're desparate to flash G900I, you MUST back up your current firmware PIT file. In case you fail to flash G900I firmware, that PIT file will be used along with your stock firmware to recover your phone to its pristine state.

To do it, please follow this guide , if you're using G900I 16Gb, you could download the PIT file from the OP immediately.

Hope it could help you, please let me know with your attempt. I'd like to help you out in case any thing goes wrong with your phone :)
