Use mobile odin. In supersu enable survival root.

Note 3 rooted knox 0, bootloader locked, my last Samsuck crap. I want freedom.
[One (M8) Accessories] Cyber Akuma:
The HTC M8 was the first phone I decided not to get a case for, just a belt-clipped holster...... I am glad for HTC Advantage.

Anyway, not taking that chance again (especially with how slippery and thin the M8 is). My go-to for cases used to be Otterbox, especially since the defender series has a belt clip. Problem is, I saw nothing but complaints about the defender model for the M8 on Amazon's reviews. Even the guy at the Sprint store told me the defender model wasn't very good and that I should get the commuter. (Not a fan of the built-in screen protector of the defender anyway, I would have probably taken it off, I hated it even on my old EVO 3D, much less a phone that has a 1080p screen).

So now I am at an impasse, due to the fact that I have not really used any other cases, and especially not knowing which ones are good. Add to that fact that I want to be able to carry it on my belt and I am very low on options. Most of the top case recommendations for the M8 had no options that came with a belt clip, and I didn't trust most of them as they recommended the Otterbox Defender.

Browsing retail stores so I could get a good idea was also fruitless, RadioShack, Best Buy, etc carry very little in terms of the M8, even the Sprint Store I mentioned only had Otterbox and a few Speck cases (which didn't seem that protective)

I care very little about looks, I want to get a case primary for protection (reasonably.... not going to get a $100-300 waterproof, bulletproof, etc case that is 5 inches thick). Currently, the UAV Navigator looks interesting, though I couldn't find a store that had it so I could tell how thick it actually is, plus, no belt clip option.

I suppose my best bet is getting a case and a seeprate belt holster that is big enough to hold the phone with the case on it.... but pretty much all belt holsters just simply tell you which phone they fit, none would take the millions of options of cases into consideration, so I am not sure where I would even find a holster that fits whatever case I get.

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Accessories] DaTrueDave:
I'm in the same boat as you. Ordered a Tech21 case for now, but I need a belt holster and relatively rugged case!
[One (M8) Accessories] T.J. Bender:
Pretty sure Seidio's Convert case comes with a belt holster. I've had good luck with Seidio Surface cases on the past--my Note II survived a fall from four feet off the ground thanks to one--and IIRC the heart of the Convert is a Surface.
[One (M8) Accessories] Cyber Akuma:
I had this one recommended to me from another forum:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGUUKRY/

I won't lie, it IS kinda cheaply put together, but it's pretty decent for it's price. Rubber casing with a hard shell, kickstand, and belt holster. It's a little hard to get it in/out of the holster at first, but it gets broken in after a bit. Still not as easy as just clipping it out of an Otterbox holster, but even the Sprint store rep told me the Otterbox Defender cases for the M8 are terrible. And it's far less likely to fall out if you are running or otherwise shaking the holster somehow.
[One (M8) Accessories] thebobmannh:
I have this one and like it a lot.

The uag case fits in the dilex holster perfectly
[One (M8) Accessories] muppetman462:
I always go with Otterbox, and I actually love the otterbox I have for my M8. I got the defender, and I was surprised how thin it is! I've had an Otterbox on just about every phone I've owned, and this is by far my favorite one. Don't know why all the hate is there on Amazon.
[One (M8) Accessories] DaTrueDave:
They must have more than one type of Defender. I've had Otterbox Defenders on all my iPhones (3, 3GS, 4 and 5) and loved them, but I looked at the one for the HTC One M8 and it was really flimsy and cheaply made. It was so horrible, I'm surprised they would even put their branding on it.
[One (M8) Accessories] PartimusPrime:
I just got my phone on the 1st of the month and went with this case because it came with a holster: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pt-kick...lack/5096589.p?id=1219107945030&skuId=5096589

I like that it's sleek and thin and seems to be ok so far.
[One (M8) Accessories] d1ez3:
How is the kickstand? Can you use it while holding the phone to help stabilize it more in your hand?
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid fits in the Seidio Surface holster. That's the combination I use. You can actually get the Platinum case combo from Best Buy since it's a rebranded Seidio Surface case and holster, and it's cheaper than buying it from Seidio. The holster also works well with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases.

Aaaaaand if you wanted more protection, the Seidio Dilex holster is a perfect fit with the Spigen Slim Armor case. I think someone mention this in this thread already as well.
[One (M8) Accessories] TraderJack:
Can you link to that? I can't find it? I've liked Seido in the past (expensive though). I got the clear unicorn beetle supcase, and think for looks that I would prefer that...but nice to have a holster.

I got this one as well as the supcase:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9J3I2I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had a similar one at one point for my droid. It's alright. This type of case though while pretty slim, your phone will bounce out of it if it drops from more than a couple feet onto a hard surface. Usually the phone is fine (the case absorbs) but on the upbounce the phone will pop out,

http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=5096589&pid=1219107945030&pcatId=abcat0811002

My friend has the Supcase and it fits perfectly in that holster. Fits better than my Spigen Ultra Hybrid!
[One (M8) Accessories] TraderJack:
Thanks but that link seems to be just for the case, not a holster/case combo. Am I misunderstanding?

I guess it's not a huge deal anyway as I refuse to buy anything from best buy...just wanted to see the item to see if it was available anywhere else.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
That's with the holster as well. If you look thru the pictures it's pictured there. That's the exact one I bought.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] lsalamun:
Ultra speed wifi?! seriously? WiFi speed depends on your network speed, if you have 10mbps you cannot achieve 20mbps, but, ok.

Please correct your description also?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
Okay, here some first impressions:

I've flashed this with the actual version of PhilZ Touch & there were no problems, the ROM booted up normally (it is based on Samsung's 4.3, just for the newbies). Played around with it a bit and thought by myself, okay, time for a reboot. I'm doing this always after a new ROM has come to my phone.

And that is where the trouble begins; the phone got stuck in bootloop and started to get really warm. I don't know what has happend, another try, same result.

Not usable for me. Fortunately, I've decided to put another ROM on my SD-Card too, just for the case that something goes wrong......

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
Hehe,

don't worry about that & thanxx for your reply. As I said, I don't know what was wrong. My phone just didn't boot up again & showed me the bootanimation. Anyway, in the end all phones are different, even if from the same type & model, so the users & their experiences vary too :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] aquaye75:
hi i also suffered the same issue.

I did a clean install and after booting i saw the home screen just for about two minutes and then it went into boot loop.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] skyler13:
After installing the rom looks promising but 2 issues a rise:

I tried using kevinrocksmans' tool but neither the offline nor the online version work. What I have done, is unlocked the bootloader through htcdev's website. That's about as far as I could get. Either downgrade or a Rom that uses the hard keys on the tablet is what I would like. Any help is good. Thanks :)

Hello guys, I'm sorry if i posted this here, i cant seem to find a forum about LG D686 dual.

so heres my problem, last night, I tried using LG User Support Tool, then a pop up appeared that there is a new software update for my phone(i believe it is a kitkat update bc i had an OTA notif for a new OS upgrade last few days before this happened) , and of course i did a backup of my files using LG Backup then proceeded to update my phone using the LG tool. Now, after downloading, updating and stuff finished, I got stuck in the logo. I tried using the hard reset method "power+vol down" trick but it doesn't work. but i can go to "download mode". what did i do that this happened? :confused:

[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
A few days ago I configured a Tab S 10.5 for a relative. They will not root so I installed the free version of MX Player and its ARM7 codec package. This gave me AC3 support without rooting and the loss of the warranty. I also configured MX Player to use HW+ acceleration for all playback.

If the tablet was mine I would have rooted within 10 minutes of confirming that all the hardware works, so I'm only mentioning this alternative for non-root users that want to play AC3 content. I personally bought MX Player Pro as the app is the best video player for Android as far as I'm concerned.

MX Player allows you to install custom decoders. There is an XDA forum that publishes the DTS decoder file which you can add to MX Player. No root is required but sometimes when MX Player is updated you'll have to wait until the DTS decoder is also updated. That's not a big deal just something you'll need to I aware of. This is a licensing issue and a work around. A long time ago MX Player included DTS support with the player install.

In MX Player AC3 and DTS play in software for video, not hardware? but the audio plays in hardware.

But my 5 year old Lenovo Yoga 8" plays the same files in the same mx player in hardware mode for both audio and video.

So an 5 year old tablet plays video`s better than my 1 year old one, hurrah for progress.
