At the back of the phone, at the very bottom there's the device info under the FCC stuff. It'll give you MID (model) (mine is 0P6B100) and I'll say something like M8n (mine is M8n) then look up the model id.

If it's uk carrier unbranded it'll be international. Demo units are I think

i was wondering that is it possible to flash a google play edition rom on any device other then the international variant?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Yeah it's possible. ROMS can be flashed on any variants. RUU's to change to GPE are for S-OFF only

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
HTC do work a little differently But with HTC you can unlock your bootloader and not worry about Knox junk :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
true but there should have been an easier way to determine what you are buying....for instance when i was buying the note 3 i knew there were 2 variants one with the model sm n900 and the other n9005 and the model number could be easily determined by going into settings about phone..over here on the other hand i have been going insane just trying to figure out the model number :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
HTC are region specific just like Samsung. There's three main variants.

Asian - 2.5GHZ 801

WWE - International 2.3GHZ

US - Same as WWE.

Then just split up into carrier branded per region. Isn't too hard to fathom.

With S-OFF you can change model ids etc and make it any variant you want and flash any firmware on it. With Samsung you risked a massive screw up.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
i never knew about that being possible with s-off...that line alone just gave me knew hope :D how hard is getting s-off?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
another thing i was wondering was that is it possible to flash custom roms on s-on devices because as you can see in the screen shots i posted the device is s-on and the guy has managed to make it a GPE device...plus is it possible to go back to sense and other aosp roms after flashing a google play edition rom? i might just bite the bullet and pick it up tomorrow all the research is getting on my nerve
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Yeah you can flash custom ROMs with ease. GPE conversion cannot be done unless you are S-OFF. As it changes the partition size etc. But once you read the dev section you'll understand it all :)

If you like the phone, buy it. It's definitely worth it. Even as pure stock it's a quality device which performs very well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
bro i got the model and fcc id from the back of the phone

model: 0P6B100

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Its identical to mine then. Mine is O2 uk carrier branded. However, I got S-OFF and rebranded it to international.

Edit: debranding /S-OFF makes it sim unlocked also
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
ahan well there were no such carrier brandings on this phone and the boot animation was also stock....plus i googled the number and it also showed unlocked devices with the same model number so maybe this is an unlocked one...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
anyways i am going to buy it now :) thank you so much for your help could not have done it without your help :) will report back to you if i need any assistance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Carrier branding on uk handsets is usually just a sim lock. They don't bother putting any decals/boot animations etc anymore. But they sim unlock for free also, so no point them even locking them lol. Probably use the Intl model now or a slight variance at least.

Glad you decided, you'll like the One far better than the Note 3. I do :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
yeah iv got viper rom on download can not wait to flash it..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Run it with ELEMENTALX kernel (one comes with it but just update to latest). Although, I've had far better out of GPE ROMs - 3 days battery, 60mins or so voice calls, heavy use plus 5hrs sot. And left 10-20% juice before recharge.

You'll find similar performance with striped down sense ROMs also, but need tweaking and kernel tweaking.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htpcforall:
Try moving your thumbnail folder

The thumbnails folder in userdata takes up the most memory. That is unless you've downloaded metadata packs which can be 2GB and are located in the metahandler folder under addon data in your userdata folder. I've solved all of my storage issues by relocating metadata and/or the thumbnails folder.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myteematt:
Has anyone successfully moved the XBMC with stickmount and folder mount, and only use the external drive for storage in XBMC?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htpcforall:
XBMC data on external storage slow read/write

I haven't but I will. Keep in mind XBMC accesses data constantly. The quickest access is the onboard memory. An external USB drive read/write speed will be much slower for sure.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
I just thought of an idea, but idk if it will work. What is someone is able to make a script that would symlink /data or /system (whatever you want) to a usb (formatted ext) that is plugged in. Possibly use Script Manager to run it at boot. Unless someone knows a way to do it directly on the device without an app. That would give you enough space as you would need.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] iii2:
Hi,

I'm trying to unlock my sprint htc one m8 with insertcoin rom.

I copied the modified apk to /system/app (but there wasn't ant htc odman speck apk already there) I gave all of the permission reboot ant went to sim unlocker app. I got to the menu press sim lock, after that i've gat a message Vdm cilent isn't responding. Do you want to close it? After that i've pressed OK, and I get this message: "Sim Unlock appears to be successful! Please reboot now."

After the reboot I'm getting the message : Invaild Card - Please contactt customer care

I've checked 2 nano-sims which are both 100% works on another sprint m8 I have.

What could be the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] THE-COPS:
I love the camera on this, but the annoying continuous auto-focus keeps making the image get blurry. It happens when im trying to focus on something close or not as bright or contrasted. Especially in darker images. But when I get a touch lock.... it wont stay. The dumb thing automatically refocuses again and it gets blurry..

What I want is.... disable auto-focus completely (like you can on other phones in options) and keep the touch focus on. My last 2 phones did this no problem. The blurring ruins the shot. ... :(

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher_01:
Hi@all,

I've CyanogenMod 11 M7 installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (international). I have installed the newest version of the Google Search App and the Google Now Launcher as well. Google Now and the hotword detection are activated. But the hotword detection 'OK Google' does not work.

Is there no support for this in CM11? If not in general, is it not supported in CM11 for the Galaxy Note 3?

I've tried different workarounds. Usually I use Nova Launcher. As of late it supports the hotword detection as well. I thought maybe the feature is buggy. So I tried it with Trebuchet and Google Now Launcher. Both didn't work. It also doesn't work in the Google App itself!

I've configured my system in german. Usually voice input and also the hotword detection should work in german as well. Again I thought maybe it's buggy and switched to english (US). It didn't work.

I also never saw the prompt for the hotword in the Google search bar.

I use Xposed Framework with a module called Xprivacy. With Xprivacy one can restrict permissions for Apps, including access to media, like the camera and microphone. I thought this could be a reason, but I haven't restricted media for the Google Search App, Google Now Launcher and Nova Launcher. Can Xprivacy be a problem anyway?

Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher_01:
The matter has sorted itself out. I got an update of the Google Search App today, now it works! :victory: :fingers-crossed:

It seams that this was a bug. I still don't see the prompt for the hotword in the Google search bar, but maybe this is another tiny bug and doesn't bother me.

I've still configured my system in german. Hotword detection works in the Google Search App, Google Now Launcher and even Nova Launcher! :) It doesn't work in Trebuchet, but one could assume that.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who contemplated about the case. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher_01:
I have some more interesting information.

Because hotword detection didn't work again, I dealt with the topic again.

It seems that it wasn't a bug. I used Titanium Backup to integrate updates of system apps into the system. I don't know why :confused:, but obviously this caused the problem.

So I completely uninstalled the app using Titanium Backup and installed it again via the Play Store. Now hotword detection works again.

So if you have the same problem, do not integrate the newest version of the app into the system, or if you don't have it installed, simply install it via the Play Store and you should be fine. :good:

Towelroot is the absolute best and easiest option now. Makes all other methods nearly pointless to use. So many extra steps and flashing only serves to give more opportunities to make mistakes.

I've never worried about the 'warranty voided' stories. If software could physically damage a device then the device is poorly made.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc6500uk:
Not with my rooted phones - any that died or had faults have always been fixed under warranty - going right back to the 'Hero'. If I buy a brand name Windows PC, wipe the hard disk and install Linux, the manufacturer still has to honour their hardware warranty under EU law. Same with mobiles/phones/tablets.

Maybe North American consumer protection laws are not as good as those here in Europe.

For instance, in the EU we can return anything we buy via mail order for a full refund within 14 days for any reason under the 'distance selling' regulations. Goods bought in shops or via mail order also have to be of 'merchantable quality'. As it currently stands, EU customers could obtain a full refund for the LG G3 as it does not work reliably with the Google Chromecast. This is probably why Samsung fixed a similar problem with a software patch when some of their devices had the same problem.

I have a noobish question regarding Towelroot (never used it, and I don't have my G3 yet,but I'll probably use that method seeing how fast and easy it seems to be).

My question: does Towelroot allow install of custom ROMS and/or custom recoveries? Does it mess with the bootloader?

As I understand it, it's tethered root (meaning the rooting process happens again at each reboot) so the way I understand it, it does not allow custom ROM install. Am I right?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikariNoKitsune:
Eh

... Probably isn't my place to say it, but kinda wish people would just look some stuff up... "Will this work for my device?" well, how should we know? We don't have 'your' device. Simply stating that you have an LG G3 does not tell us if it will work. And the people stating "Yes! It'll work! It works with

ANY

device" just makes things worse and frustrates people...

No, it does NOT work for 'every device'. No, it does NOT work for most U.S. carrier versions unless you are EXTREMELY lucky and get one of their occasional 'this isn't supposed to be given to customers' models. Though I've heard of some stores giving every person who's purchased them, one of those types of models and got in quite a bit of trouble because of it. So there may be quite a few out there with those said 'working towelroot models'.

Works with SOME AT&T models of the G3, works with SOME Verizon models of the G3. Does NOT work with

ANY

Sprint models of the G3 because they only HAVE one model. Does NOT work with Tmobile models of the G3 because once again, they only have one model.

And, this does not limit itself to just TowelRoot. There are NO METHODS of rooting the G3 with Sprint or Tmobile what so ever. And again, only SOME of the AT&T and Verizon models will work with various root methods because they have 2-3 models, of which only ONE is supposed to be sold to actual customers, while the others are meant for employees or for giving to "Reviewers" with the proper credentials and permission.

The T-Mobile variant can be rooted as it has an unlocked bootloader also. The only variation that does.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikariNoKitsune:
True

True..

But I didn't say it "can't" be rooted, I said that right now, there is no root method to gain root. There is a developer right now who has successfully rooted a T-Mobile LG G3, but he hasn't released the method yet because it isn't quite 'right'/'finished'.

All versions will most likely get a root method, but currently, right now, there is none for Sprint or T-Mobile that is public. Yes an unlocked bootloader helps TONS.. but doesn't negate the fact that there still isn't a method for it yet.
