[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
For anyone who have experienced it Is it true that the Nexus 5 speakers are actually better (slightly louder) than the Galaxy S4?

Talking about the multitasking tab (on the three capacitive buttons) with the Sony and Samsung Android handsets they have the option to "cancel all" tabs/windows that are running in the background. With the Nexus 5 you have to swipe them one by one. Is there an app to add that same functionality as Sony or Samsung to cancel all tabs & windows?

Any good 3rd-party music player that support Flac, customisable EQ settings, etc.? I'm looking for a music player that enables me to Pause, Forward & Back functions when i'm on my lock screen.

Please advice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Just about every single music player?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
The Nexus 5's own music player (via Google Play Music app) i find uninspiring and has poor presets sounds and equalisers. Any good music player you guys can recommend?

Going back to the speakers is it safe to use a sharp object like a needle to "poke" thru the speaker grills to remove any excess glue that are present in the production as i heard that might be the cause of the slightly tinny/muffled speakers sound?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No. Do it at your own risk

Complete fabrication. Speakers sound tinny and muffled because they're crap, cheap speakers. No other reason,

TL;DR; - Looking for Slide out game controller case, you seen one?

I'm looking for a rather specific case for the HTC One m7...

I've been looking around for awhile (aka about 3/4 months on&off), I'm basically sending this out into the interwebs to get a few extra eye's on the look-out or if there's a electronics hacker guru out there who has any idea's to create this.

The key feature of this is a slide out gamepad controller, similar to the Xperia Play. Below is some similar stuff I've managed to find but unfortunately they are designed for Iphone 4/5 :rolleyes:
[One (M7) Accessories] adrianmignogna:
Or you could just get a Moga Controller...(I know it's not a case...)
[One (M7) Accessories] cyanogendroid:
Yeah I would love something like this. Like if I could have a SNES controller, with a bracket even, I would be in love

[One (M7) Accessories] sethstorm:
If you can find something that fits the Galaxy S4, it should be close enough to fit the HTC One M7.

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but I came from the Xperia Play and this controller is now my go to when it comes to gaming.

[General Marketing & SEO] Yoav Franco:
It's was very hard and almost impossible if you don't have at least a small marketing budget. I am making this thread to help developers learn.

I want to stress that all my marketing was free. I didn't use paid advertisement.

Deciding what I am going to make

1) I decided to make a platform game that had very simple controls, anyone can understand how to play it without instructions.

2) I decided to use some cartoon images that, almost all I made myself. There is no some "Complicated graphics".

3) I made the game easy enough so that a gamer can play it without instructions.

Before Launch

1) After I finished the game I didn't release it to the google play store , that would equal a fail. I opened a small community in Google+ and collected some people that want to hear when I release the game to production.

2) I posted on facebook groups screenshots about my game that going to be published. I did it in 5-6 groups and I spend on it 3 days.

3) I went to some games forums and also a create a post and trying to make people waiting for this game to be published.

Launch

1) Launched my app on Google Play , posted on facebook and on Google+ that its finally arrived. And here comes the numbers:

After one week my app got more than 10,000 installs!

And now my game has 46,000 downloads at Google Play!

And I am still fighting to get more downloads. Hopefully I can reach higher but for last couple of days the downloads just decreasing Any questions ask away.

[General Marketing & SEO] Tomer Trier:
congrats

I don't think you got the downloads for the reason you think. I am unsure what you did, but almost 800 ratings is good.

congrats on your successful launch :) that is a lot of downloads for that type of game.
[General Marketing & SEO] Yoav Franco:
So, If can I ask, why do you think all the downloads come from?

And thanks for replaying :)
[General Marketing & SEO] Nebulic:
Pretty interesting read, thanks!

Do you have a facebook page or something where people can follow you as a developer? I'm not sure if I should do that for the future.

4 days ago I published my first Android App. I prepared my release fairly well, I've read a lot about marketing apps.

- I've posted my app on forums where I'm active, inclusive a niche forum for the app.

- I've posted it on my personal facebook and tumblr.

- I've made a pretty good YouTube video for it.

- I've send it to over 30 review sites.

The reviews I've received are all very good, but I'm still struggling to get downloads. I'm still at 50-100 and I've done the best promoting I could.

Any tips?

[General Marketing & SEO] Yoav Franco:

I am not lying :)
[General Marketing & SEO] Yoav Franco:
100 download per day is pretty good!

Look at my first comment. Publish your game in facebook groups and forums and try to get people knowing about your game, If they like it they will share it with their friends and you will get more downloads.

BTW I saw your game. Its looks very nice :) Keep updating this game.

[General Marketing & SEO] Applava:
From my own experience I can say, that it's very hard to find the right formula. There are so many variables and sometimes one method will work for specific app, sometimes not. But I agree that social factor has the best influence in downloads. The more people see, hear about your app - the more likely they will tell their friends and etc.

I think everybody reading this topic wants to know how you did it in details. :)

I personally want to know on what forums you announced the release of your game.

Anyone else happen to have this problem? If the phone is on standby, black screen, for an hour or so, it will not come out of standby. You can tell it is running, it has its green light flashing every now and then. If you click any of the buttons, nothing makes it comes back on. I have to take the battery out for it to start working again. Any ideas?

Try to removed your recently installed unstable applications, that may help.Or you can do a hard reset.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] T4rd:
How would they know this?

I had to chat with their online CS about replacing my phone that seems to have a defective digitizer (sometimes it registers inputs when I'm not touching it and inputs in places other than where I touch it). They asked me what software number I'm running, which is 1.55.605.2. I'm guessing that number somehow denotes if my bootloader is unlocked?

They didn't seem to care though and told me to just re-lock my bootloader before I send the phone back to them. I'm just curious as to how they knew since that's the only info I gave them about the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nicholi2789:
No just that number alone doesn't tell them that your bootloader is unlocked. You must have told them other information as well like say you radio versions, etc. If say you flashed a 1.55.605.2 based stock rom but DIDN'T flash the most current radios then you would have mismatching versions. If they by chance asked what radio version number you had then that could give it away. Cause the only way you could have mismatching radio/software versions is if your bootloader was unlocked and you were flashing stuff. But there are other indictators too. You might have unwittingly told them other stuff that could give it away. I wouldn't worry about it though. HTC is generally pretty cool about it. They know for example that a dead pixel in a screen has absolutely nothing to do with an unlocked bootloader or SOFF so they still honor the warranty. Unlike companies like Verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] evltwn72:
I had a similar conversation with Motorola when I had the Droid RAZR MAXX HD. After trying to do a factory reset to sell the phone it got hung up in the cache wipe. I contacted Moto, explained the problem and told them that the phone was not rooted. The csr told me that she could see that the phone was not rooted, and set up the rma to get it fixed. I too was surprised by this info from Moto. Moto had built in a root checker into their software and apparently it sent back info to Moto without my knowing. So I wouldn't be too surprised if other oems have followed suit.

Sent from my HTC One M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] T4rd:
No, I'll post the transcript later (at work right now) if you want. It was literally the only thing she asked me about the software before she confirmed with me that the bootloader was unlocked. Maybe it was social engineering..? Lol

Yeah, I'm not worried about it, as she didn't even hesitate to warranty the phone for me still. I was just curious as to how she knew that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] naturecannon:
NSA I tell ya. Oh and HTC knew you met that hooker on your lunch break too so watch those texts.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nicholi2789:
Well for all we know HTC apps could be logging information about our phones. There's no way we could know except for reading days and days worth of logcats. It is interesting though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Jinkleft:
Yeah I recently had the worst customer service experience with HTC ever. They confirmed my bootloader was unlocked and i sent it in for a screen repair since it was cracked. They made me pay full price for the repair because they said it voided the warranty.

Then when I asked the customer support person if i paid for the repair out of pocket would they send me the phone still unlocked and S-off'd. The support person said specifically that if i didn't escelate the problem then they would just repair the screen. So i didn't escalate the problem and when i got the phone back i found out i was no longer unlocked or S-Off'd.

Then when i spoke to customer support again they quoted the previous tech and said that if i escalated the problem they would have likely done the repair for free and left my phone unlocked. I also found out what i paid for was a new board and the screen repair. They refused to help me in any way. I even asked if i could escalate the problem and if there was a way i could be refunded for the main board replacement since i only requested the screen be repaired. They said nope your SOL.

Litterally don't understand how anyone has had a good experience with HTC support :/

TLDR: Bootloader unlocked, sent phone for repair. Was lied to by customer support and offered no help from HTC.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
I think it was social engineering

Or

HTC allows most every phone to be unlocked EXCEPT Verizon does not. So they are probably working with the rest of the world and thinking Remember to lock your bootloader!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LibertyMonger:
They are saying they knew it was unlocked from the phone call, does this mean make sure it is relocked before making the call? This kinda scares me, I have never had issues with warranty replacements but I am new to Verizon. Will Verizon know I am unlocked and reject me or can I simply relock if needed? Hopefully I will never have to use warranty but this does not sound good lol.

While I am here I have a quick question without opening a new thread, why does this Verizon M8 forum's phone description show us having the 2.5ghz processor? I thought we had the 2.3Ghz version from Verizon? Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nicholi2789:
Well do have the 2.3 ghz version. And you can re-lock your bootloader with a fastboot command. Verizon is not that strict on their phones. Noone even looks. I've sent 2 M8s back to Verizon for warranty replacements. One still said s-off, the other said unlocked and s-off. Noone every said a word to me. Not to mention all the warranty replacements in the past I've done with other devices.

Just do everything you can to lock it back up and get it as close to stock as possible since it doesn't take that much effort. But I wouldn't sweat it too hard. I don't think they even look aside from powering it on and making sure it isn't water damaged.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] FragmentedLogik:
They can tell because of the HTC DM and the HTC Checkin Services

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
my HTC story:

well here goes.... I bricked my my M8...BAD, to the point of no boot, no hope. So i worked with HTC tech support via chat, and told them i had rooted & SOFF'd my phone, and i was willing to pay to get the phone fixed and back. So they sent me an email explaining the mail in procedure. I sent the phone, the tech conversation transcript, and a letter stating the specific problem with the phone, also explaining root & SOFF. And i got a refurb phone from them a week later, free of charge. But this one had terrible scratches all over the camera lense. So i sent it back, and i got sent another refurb, this time with a good lense. By that time, i had paid my edge contract buyout, and gotten a new M8, so now i have 2 M8's. Customer service wasn't bad for me.

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
The **easiest** way is to just erase all userdata if you don't mind losing everything on the phone.

Boot into bootloader mode (Power off phone, hold down VOL DOWN + POWER). The phone should boot into the bootloader and show "AP Fastboot Mode".

Now assuming you have the Motorola Drivers, and the Android SDK installed, you can open a command prompt and type:

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot reboot

Bam! No more lockscreen OR google account. Phone will be factory reset and you can set it up as you like, using your own google account and such...
