[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Theoriginalgiga:
Like everyone has been saying, if you need convincing then you've already left and that's your choice and right to do so. Here's my couple of experiences.

My brother bought an N5, used it for less than 24 hours and resold it. he didn't like the screen, the signal strength no SD card slot, weak speakers and vibrate function was too weak. Mind you this is the same kid that when I sat down with him about his SG3 he was complaining the the 2 capacities button's LED brightness weren't equal so I take everything he says with a grain of salt.

I think the N5 is a fantastic phone but like has been said, it's a budget phone so you have to expect budget parts.

Now I switched from Sammy phones for a multitude of reasons, one of which being the quality of the device. My sammy's had a multitude of problems and the build quality on the HTCs has always amazed me.

I'm not going to bother addressing anything software, because there are roms here to do everything you want (I used liquid on my previous phone, twas nice). But for length, that's the price you pay for amazing sound. The power button on top, I'm not sure your gripe, if you mean it's harder to access it to turn the phone on, use the tilt and swipe or the doubletap to wake it up. Lastly the camera, using my 4K monitor comparing pictures from my brother's N5, my old GS4 and the M8 I have to say it's on par with the S4 if not better and honestly the N5's pictures usually turn out with a slight blur though that could be fixed with a different camera app I assume.

here's an article comparing the phones, it's a good read and ultimately helped me decide I wanted the M8:

Like another person said, the N5 would be my choice if the M8 didn't exist.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] nviz22:
No point in going back to the Nexus 5. It is due for a price drop soon anyways. I would say that mid August is that time. The Moto X+1 would beat the Nexus 5 too. The Nexus 5 has a decent looking screen, but it's not as the same as the Super LCD 3 w/ Gorilla Glass 3. It also has a weaker battery and camera. The Nexus 6 comes out in about 2 months too. GPE is the best option if you want to sell your HTC One M8 and buy another one or just convert it to save the time and extra $.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] xxquicksh0txx:
There are some rumors going on that HTC will is making the Nexus 6. LG has said they're not making it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] nviz22:
They said they wouldn't make the Nexus 5 despite the Meglodon rumors. I would wait until some solid evidence saying LG is out of it because companies have track records of backtracking. IE: Samsung and the Galaxy S5/S5 Alpha.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] xxquicksh0txx:
Yeah I'm not saying HTC is making is 100%, but it's worth waiting if your thinking about getting a nexus 5
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] nviz22:
Exactly, the Nexus 6 will be better by the nature of the market. If LG makes it, the Nexus 6 will have a strong build because the G3 has a nice build quality, but the LG software is ugly imo.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Erazo1986:
I actually moved on from the M8 to the G3. I am loving the g3 so far.
[Nook Touch General] iakovl:
right now i have the normal NST and i like it more or less

wondering if i should switch to NSG just for the sake of back light or no
[Nook Touch General] OverByter:
Really up to you, if you read a lot in the dark. Me personally, I just use a clip on light for the rare occasions when I need to. Be aware that some users had "tearing" issues with the diffraction grating on the original glo light model.

OB
[Nook Touch General] David0226:
I have one of each. I started with the NST and later got a NSTG when Wal*Mart was selling them out. I do a significant amount of my reading in the dark (50% or more) so the glowlight makes sense for me. If you do most of your reading in a well lit room I would not bother with the NSTG. My NSTG was manufactured after the initial run, but I still got a lightguide tare. Functionally there is no difference except the front light. If you do a lot of reading in dark rooms, then the NSTG is well worth it. While the front light certainly does not provide completely uniform light, it is an order of magnitude better than using a clip-on light.
[Nook Touch General] geopapa:
I have the NSTG. As said before, If you read a lot in very low-light conditions it's good to have the glowlight. But, at least for me, it is tiring for the eyes in "no light" conditions. If I ever turn on the light it is in conditions where there is light but it is not enough for reading (and I choose a very low light intensity).

The only disadvantage of NSTG over NST is that its screen has one more layer which make the screen a tone darker.

Hope I helped.
[Nook Touch General] krzynier:
I also have both models. If you have an opportunity to buy NSTG for cheap, don't hesitate. I switched to NSTG completely. Builtin light is very convenient in low-light conditions, you don't have to attach any external lamps. To protect the screen I would suggest to buy a cover and treat the Nook with care. The quality of the light is acceptable, you will notice a bunch of LEDs in the upper part of the screen, but after a short while you will forget them.

ok, have a refub on the way to me

[T-Mobile LG G3] ZeroG1:
Can we not use Google Voice for voicemail? I try to update the voicemail number but it's grayed out.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Derekwolfee:
Do it from the Google voice website.. Use a different device.. Then go to settings devices and add a device.. Follow instructions.. Worked for me perfect.
[T-Mobile LG G3] salamandar:
Did it, said it was successful, phone still says carrier is still my VM client not GV, not good at all LG/T-Mobile, in fact its straight up bull****.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ZeroG1:
The VM client will say carrier but the call is correctly forwarded to GV. Check your call forwarding settings.
[T-Mobile LG G3] salamandar:
The problem with that is the extended rings, what caller waits through 8 to 10 rings to leave a VM, they just get annoyed and hang up, which is why the carriers block it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Derekwolfee:
Mine still says carrier.. Google voice is working.. I had someone call and test it.. Didn't seem like it was ringing any longer than normal.
[T-Mobile LG G3] salamandar:
I just tested, 9 rings with the 5th stating call was forwarded. Believe what ya want, its an issue, who waits through 9 rings?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Derekwolfee:
Just tested mine again.. Didn't decline call to get it to voice-mail.. Rang 6 times and no forwarding message..

Maybe deactivate your phone on Google voice. Com and reactivate it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] jamaroufi:
I just did the***004 number# thing and it worked like normal.
[T-Mobile LG G3] trikar21b:
So...the only way I can switch this is to put my SIM into a different phone and set it up that way...then put the SIM back in my G3?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norbertooo:
Hey guys, my sisters phone for some reason got bricked. There weren't any modifications made on it, after some work I was able to make Sony Update Service recognize it. The big question is: When resetting the phone with Sony Update Service, is the internal storage erased too or not? She has some important pictures which she really needs, so could someone suggest a way in which the internal storage stays the way it is?

I tried the hard reset button found under the next to the sim card already with no result. The phone responds with 3 buzz when the power button is pressed for 2-3 sec.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParanormalBat:
AFAIK there's no way to make a backup of the internal storage while the phone is off.

I believe that resetting the phone with SUS won't erase internal storage (only apps and related data).

I've never had the chance to try it though, but I say the above due to past experience with other Sony devices.

EDIT: I just read somewhere that repairing phone via PC Companion wipes all data including internal storage.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
You can use flashtool to reflash a firmware to your device

Deselect wipe data and select, reset customizations

I think that should do it

Unfortunately in new xperia phone the internal storage is mounted at /data/media so it gets erased too when you wipe /data

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
my s4 is a year and a month old and yesterday i put it to charge before bed like i always do. i heard my phone vibrating and i figured it was a text. after an hour i go to check the phone and it is off. i tried to turn it on and it had no led or any sign of power even while connected to the stock charger. i knew something was wrong when it wouldnt wake after holding the power button and the volume buttons and then removing the battery and replacing the battery. usually when you take out the battery and put it back on it vibrates but i got nothing. today i tried my friends battery on my phone and saw so signs of it getting power. i also tried my battery on his phone and it powered up fine.

i just got off the phone with t-mobile and the warranty has expired since its been over a year since i got this phone. there is nothing they can do since its a hardware issue. is there any possible known way to try and fix it? even if i gotta gut it up to check a connector or something. the rep said maybe something isnt making contact but i havent dropped my phone in a while and has always had the gel rubber around with a hard shell supporting the gel so no physical signs of damage. the top half does get hot when i put it to charge but not the battery so no clue what could have cause this. i dont overclock it or anything special kernel modifications just a stock based rom which i have had for months now.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
I recently purchased a note 3 and I didn't have a sprint sim for it. I ordered one and inserted it but I still get the notification "No SIM". I've rebooted the phone and checked to make sure the SIM Card is in correctly. What do I do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
Either your SIM is bad or your reader may be faulty. I know sellers like to sell phones without the SIM in it to hide a failed SIM reader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
I'm fairly sure the SIM Card Reader is functional because I put a Verizon sim in originally to try to remove the notification. I will switch the Sims for my note 3 and 2. To find out if my sprint sim is faulty. I'm doubtful but best to check
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
OK just checked the sprint sim card is functional as I get a non Verizon sim notification in my note 2 and when I put the Verizon sim in the note 3 I get invalid sim so this means the sim reader is functional on the note 3 and the sprint sim card is usable. What's going on then
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
I'd still try another Sprint SIM. When you get the replacement one MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM IT'S FOR A NOTE 3!!! As far as I know, there's different SIM cards for different devices. A SIM from an iphone 4s won't work in a Note 3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkManX4lf:
Even if it's programmed for the same number?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
I can give you the link for the sim I got. As far as I know it's the only sprint sim out there that I could find. Would It be possible to flash the note 3 to Verizon, At&t, or T mobile. If it would be easier than getting a new sim.

http://r.ebay.com/fT9SWX
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
As far as I know, it doesn't matter. I could be wrong. But from my experience the SIM model number does matter. The model number varies amongst the various Sprint devices and I recall what worked for one phone didn't work for another.

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

So wait....you're trying to flash? It's unable to be unlocked to GSM. If you flash the device you don't need the SIM. The SIM is ONLY for 4g LTE. If you flash you won't get LTE, and therefore you don't need the SIM and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know how to flash the baseband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkManX4lf:
Huh?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
You lost me. I just want the notification gone. I'm trying to use the note 3 as a media device not a phone as of now. If I could flash it might remove my error. I don't know if it's even possible. Not worried about the LTE till late when I may or may not use the note 3 as a phone. Data charges get me. But if there's a way to fix the sim issue with no flash that would be ideal. But if not its alright I can probably flash or try order yet another sim. Or try to find another solution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
OK just read that again I understand now so no sim :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
I think someone found out how to remove the no sim notification by editing something in the build.prop. But honestly, it doesn't even do anything. You can still use the phone on Wi-Fi and you can get it flashed to use talk/text/mms/3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
Alright so what would I do then
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
? I was just listing alrernatives
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CVanB:
How hard is it to edit the build prompt. And what am i supposed to do with this sprint sim?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
You'd need to root the phone and get some kind of file explorer. It's not that hard. The most difficult part will be finding what to edit/add to the build.prop file.

Throw the Sprint sim in the trash...or burn it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elephant007:
I had a problem with the SIM card from a Note 3 that I bought on Swappa. My problem was that my phone would not switch to 4G LTE. It gave me some EHRPD error and occasionally a no SIM card found error.

The way I fixed this is I wrote down the serial number off the card itself then contacted Sprint via chat support. The number on the card was different than the number Sprint had assigned to my phone. They changed the number to the number of the card I had, rebooted my phone and the problem was fixed. Now I have 4G LTE and no longer get a no SIM card detected error.

I suggest writing down the number from your card, contact Sprint via chat and have them change the number of your card to your phone. That might fix it for you. How this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkManX4lf:
Why not just take a trip to the Sprint store. They should be able to fix your issue.

As the title points out, this is mateo1111's work that he did for the LG Optimus L9. All I did was make a small change and am sharing it with all of you. I must also inform that by you using this, you agree to the risk and that I will not be held responsible if anything goes wrong.

INSTRUCTIONS

1) For this to work you must be rooted and have CWM recovery

2) Copy the zip to the root of the internal memory

3) Reboot into CWM recovery and choose flash from sdcard (0 is the one you need to pick)

4) Enjoy the black statusbar!​
