[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
Is this a nope no thanks not wanting to pay for soff? Only reason I ask is because there are people with newer firmware that are able to still use the free method called firewater. From what I gather reason for firewater working for some and not others is due to variances in specific hardware used from one production of this device to another. I liken this to say an HP computer you model number could match mine but if production for my desktop included a generic component because HP found a way to save 5$ with each unit in my batch but you got a different componant with yours there is a slight variance in the hardware. I have worked in or around the computer industry since I was 12 and honestly never thought about this but it makes sense that if a specific instruction calls for a specific rresponse one responds differently thennwhat is expected the process would have to stop. This is a great device and worth the $$ if firewater is unable to be used IMHO.

Had a problem. Hope someone with experience can give me a few answers.

Nave new t-mobile Note 3, SM-N900T. Stock 4.4.2 KitKat Touchwiz rooted.

Rooted to enable SDFix to use SD card as I want to use it.

Everything great! No problems.

Thought it would be wise to have a Nanoid backup.

Opened Rom Manager and made One change in prefrences. I set it for external SD card storage. (mistake?)

Went to 'Backup current Rom' in Rom manager, started it and it started to reboot. Shut down and restarted in a 'Recovery' boot loop??

No matter what I did, Tried holding power, up volume and home button, nothing. Boot loop continued. Removed battery, waited, as soon as I re-installed battery it instantly went back into recovery boot loop.

I don't know what I did, I kept removing battery and trying again and again and all of a sudden, it booted up back to KitKat and now everything is working great again. No problem on any standard reboot.

What happened? I have used this same set up on my S3 and never had a problem.

I would like to backup the current setup for any future problems. But now, I'm afraid to even try.

I removed Rom Manager and re-installed. Made sure that the storage location was reset to internal and it should be OK??

What did I do when I got out of the Recovery boot loop??

So, afraid to try again. Don't want the boot loop again.
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Hi. What recovery are you using?

If you haven't installed a custom recovery, then that explains your issue. Basically, the app scheduled a custom recovery script which kept failing in the stock recovery. You should normally be able to reboot into the system holding the power button, thus skipping going to recovery. This also resets the recovery script so everything is back to normal.

Nandroid is normally only possible using a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.

I saw that you might be able to perform a Nandroid without restarting the phone (so without a custom recovery) using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en

I have never tried it. Looks promising though.

But please note that you won't be able to restore the backup without a custom recovery.

EDIT: If you do have a custom recovery, why not boot in recovery mode and make the backup from there?

Cheers

Recovery Boot Loop Problem

I have CWM installed. Setup thru Rom Manager as I have done before on other phones.

Tried it again, same thing. Over and over. Constant reboot. Dosen't matter if I hold the power button or try different ways, same thing.

It says: Recovery booting

Recovery is not seandroid enforcing

Set warranty bit:recovery

If I remove battery and wait a couple of minutes, I can install battery and it dosen't start till I hold power button.

So I held volume down, home button and power button and booted into download mode. From there I cancelled and it rebooted normally.

Everything I've read on boot loops always say 'boot into recovery'. I only wish I could. That's the bootloop.

Any idea on what's wrong?

Thank you for your time and trouble.
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Have you tried booting directly into recovery?

So just shut off your phone and then open it by holding volume up + home + power. It should boot into recovery. If it doesn't, I recommend installing cwm or TWRP using Odin instead of Rom manager.

Might be a problem with your current recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] rspilot1:
Recovery Boot Loop Problem

Yes, I tried. Does the same thing.

I've never used Odin. All the info I've read mentioned downloading USB drivers and using different .tar files. Checking this and that.

Nothing I've ever done.

No experience with it.

Never had a reason before to use it.

Every instruction website I've read all seem to be different.

I'm gonna have to find out, huh? lol

I've got Odin on my computer, and have the CWM 6 zipped file.

Will do some research.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
No problem.

A few tips with odin:

-If you have Kies installed, you don't need to install other drivers.

-The file you flash with Odin should have tar or tar.md5 extension

-you have to activate USB debugging from developer options.

-boot your phone into download mode

-run Odin as administrator

-connect your phone. you should see the text Added in Odin. If don't see it, you need drivers.

-you should make sure only auto reboot and f. Reset time are checked

-you should put the file in Pda or Ap(if using latest version)

Click start and wait until it finishes. It will restart itself if you checked auto reboot.

That's about it. It's very safe and easy to use.

Watch some videos on YouTube. You will definitely find some.

Recovery Boot Loop Problem

Update: The install of CWM with Odin seemed to be successful. Still have same problem.

I believe the problem must be somewhere else.

Something is stopping the recovery boot. More research ahead.

When I find out more, will post here and give update.
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Strange. You could try TWRP instead of CWM. I use TWRP and really like it:

Here is the download link for your device: http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar

This is the Odin flashable recovery.

Here is TWRP page: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/

EDIT: One more thing. Are these the exact steps you are following when booting into recovery?

"To access recovery mode on your Note 3, turn off the device and press Volume Up+Home+Power buttons at the same time for about 4-6 seconds. When the screen lights up and you see the Samsung logo, release the Power button but keep Volume Up+Home keys pressed until you see the recovery menu screen"

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] rspilot1:
Recovery Boot Loop Problem

Yes, if I use the buttons, the download mode comes up saying 'Boot failed'. That's holding the vol. button 'up'. If I hold vol. down, it loads download mode correctly.

If I try to enter recovery thru Rom Manager, Recovery tries to start and the boot loop starts. ??

I may try TWRP. I've heard a lot about it.

Thanks for the links.

The Smart IR Remote is not currently working with the LG G3. I inquired to the developers about the issue and here is their response:

"Hello Steven,

When LG updated their phones/tablets to Android 4.4 KitKat, they chose not to correctly implement the IR Blaster APIs Google introduced, thus making our app (and all other 3rd party apps) incompatible with phones like the G2/G3 or the G-Pad.

We've been in contact with LG and convinced them to grant us access to the IR Blaster and hopefully they will give us access in a month or so.

Regards,

Alina"

So there you guys go. Hopefully we will have access to this app in a month or so.

[AT&T LG G3] cookie29:
I have a question for any of you that has direct TV. Is there a way to get the remove to show the guide?

I usually use the button reset to assign a key to one of the remote, but the ir app does not seem to identify any of the direct TV remote keys when you press it to the ir blaster. It works for every other remote I have. Is there a workaround for this?
[AT&T LG G3] SEscobedo:

We're also updating the app tomorrow on Google Play with support for the G3, so that everyone can get it from there too :) We've confirmed with multiple customers that it works, so we're pretty confident to do that.

Recording doesn't work, also because of limitations from LG. We're trying to get proper support for recording on the G3 and any kind of decent support for other LG devices (like the G2 and GPad 8.3), but that might be a while too.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
You might want to take a second look. It's not a global setting, but controlled by the app. So open the app that the widget is linked to and look in the settings menu for that app.

In particular, if you are using the default accuweather app, that is indeed where the setting resides. You may also want to recreate the widget to speed up the change i.e. don't expect that the change will always be reflected instantaneously.

OK thanks, I figured it's tied to a certain weather app. Will keep looking. Here is a pic of my lockscreen,

That appears to be the Accuweather app. From memory.. tap or double tap on the time or temperature on the

I froze it and restarted the phone. It did get rid of it so I know that's it, however when unfrozen there is no actual app anywhere to configure.

*Edit it doesn't come back now after unfreeze and rebooting. Oh well no big deal. The weather app I do have and use is Weather & Clock Widget.

Stand alone widgets are less common.. and will be configured from the widget itself instead of a main app then.

Weather App - change from C to F

I am new and this may just be an old thread that has been resolved.

I went through the entire thread and didn't see a suitable reply.

On my newly acquired Galaxy 5S, I wanted to do the same; change from C to F.

First went through the Settings App and didn't see anything that would make the change.

Sometimes things are very simple. And this was something I probably over-thought.

What I did:

Unlocked the screen, and there's the "Weather App" loaded right on the main screen at the very top of the screen.

I tapped the "Weather App" box, which brought the "Weather App" full screen.

I then tapped the three vertical dots, flush right top on the screen. This brought up four options (black text on white background).

They are from top to bottom, 'Weather map', 'More', 'Settings' and 'Report wrong city name'.

Tap on "Settings":

Then, under "General", the first settings option is "Unit".

Tap "Unit", then tap the radio button "°F" to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Unless you want to continue making additional changes, such as 'Refresh', 'Location' or 'Notifications...' you are done.

There is no "Save" button. The changes that have been made I believe take effect immediately.

All you have to do is back out and get back to the main screen by pressing the Home button to get back to business.

Hope that helps someone, someplace.

Best,

Robert

Press the dots and holy cow the settings for accuweather come up. And there you will see the temperature change option. Right at the top. Hope this helps.

Well there is no way to flash a T mobile firmware throught ODIN.. Unless you want a paper weight. Flashing another bootloader from another device is a very good way to make the phone not usable.

You can port a Custom T mobile rom but why go through all that to just get rid of some system apps. Just go into your system/app and priv-apps and delete the Verizon apps.

ba-syncservice-app-signed.apk is the app your looking for to disable sync function..
