[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reef88:
I bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 when I was in Europe but now that I'm back home I can't use the charger cause they're different than what we use here. Do I have to buy a new one or is there any chance I can use my Galaxy S4's charger? I understand the chargers have some sort of voltage information I don't know if my phone's charger will work since the batteries are not the same. Thanks for your time.

Here's a picture with both chargers. Left is the Galaxy Tab S's. Right is my phone's. They appear to have the same values, I still ask because I noticed its taking a long time for the tab to charge.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANSB57:
Maybe not the exact answer your waiting for but anyhow.

There is a lot of talk about cables and chargers not working properly. So I installed Galaxy Charging Current (Play store) and checked all my chargers and cables.

First off all my cables worked fine, but thats not what your asking.

Install the app on your tab and check with what value its charging.

Then you know for sure if you can use the charger on the right. (Or buy a europe tot US adapter for your 5.3 volt charger)

(I charge my phone wit the tab charger and have no problem)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAvid_B:
I bought this little usb amp/volt meter and checked all my chargers and cords. Maybe 10% of them were junk. Some actually put out 5.3 volts like the stock charger. They all put out different amps. Some below 1.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
Hans,

I downloaded that app. I dont know what I'm looking for. Here is a screenshot. Can you tell me what the readings mean and if I'm within the norms? Thank you!

Here is another reading a few minutes later as it warmed up..

and lastly, ten minutes later, as the charger is now fully hot..
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SotYPL:
This app is useless. Its readings have nothing to do with real current from charger. I have PortaPow USB Power Monitor and it clearly shows that Tab S 10.5 takes 1.75A from oem charger and this app shows values between 1 and 1.2A.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANSB57:
I dont know if its useless but when T700 is connected to my pc it show 476 mA , connected to my original charger it shows 1800 mA and connected to my 1 amp phone charger it shows 745 mA.

The values that I expected.

From the makers site I learned only Maximum value is important.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
Where the USB plugs into the tablet to charge. Is it suppose to get really warm?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SotYPL:
It shows what your tablet should take from the charger not what it is actually taking. So if you connect it to 2A charger it will show 1.8A because that's maximum value Samsung designed Tab S to be charging at. I did lot o testing and this app will always show 1800mA maximum when tablet is actually taking much less current for example when connected with long cable (15ft). My testing shows that longest cable I can use is 10ft 28/24AWG from Monoprice and oem charger. 15ft cable is only charging at 1.2A and any cable longer than 3ft is unusable with Anker 40W IQ charger. OEM Samsung charger gives 5.45V not ~5V as any other USB charger.

Yup, I just saw that about an hour ago. I've been losing about 25 - 30% per hour. From what I read doing a factory reset may fix it, but if I'm going to do that I figure I might as well just root this thing and flash CM.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orvon.freeman:
It is usually recommend to do a factory reset and if you can wipe all caches, doing the OTA and not doing this is like a dirty flash. I have always wiped after OTA since my HTC Aria days and have had no issues. in fact even using [MENTION=5345690]Wonders_Never_Cease[/MENTION] great roms after I debloat further to what I like I go in and zip align and wipe caches just for my peace of mind. :victory:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] theandies:
You would think that AT&T would have a phone from each serial number batch and test the update on all of them. This may be caused by small hardware difference between them. I say this because some have not had any problems while other have. It seems some can "fix" this by doing a factory reset and some it makes no difference.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] acPIZZA:
I didn't have battery drain but I noticed my texts stopped going through.

Clearing cache fixed it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Blaze9:
Just did the RUU update from HTC directly.

Reunlocked bootloader and flashed Viper. Perfect battery life so far, just about normal, maybe a bit better than before due to less apps/running processes (last viper rom was getting old)

Yesterday I relocked my boot and unrooted SuperSU. I used the RUU exe from HTC's support. It says to have HTC Sync installed but I don't and only have the drivers installed on my 8.1 machine. It ran very quickly with no problems. After first boot I did a factory reset and cleared the cache. I then turned off FastBoot, I disabled all of the bloatware, and only updated the things I wanted to. I let the phone update while I made all of my personal settings. Next I turned the phone off and did the battery Calibration while plugged into the charger by holding all 3 physical buttons down for 3 mins. I let the phone charge to 100% then turned it on. I did a couple of restarts. It's been 12 hours and I'm still at 80% battery. Half of the usage is from me surfing the internet for a few hours last night...

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] chp:
Interesting... I've noticed a definite battery drain and I thought it was maybe an app I had installed. But it seems to match up since I noticed the drain in the days since I updated OTA. (Completely stock, bootloader never unlocked)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] PwnCakes193:
Is that really battery calibration on these devices?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
I don't think it is a real way In my opinion the only way to calibrate the phone. It's charging to 100%then let it discharge to 0% once a month. I don't think pressing 3 physical buttons for 3 minutes will calibrate the phone

The first way to calibrate the M8 battery is through Recovery. Turn your phone off and boot it into Recovery mode. Using the volume up and down buttons select wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. This will automatically reset the HTC One M8 battery. Even better, you should do a factory reset. In Recovery select wipe data option.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] skrambled:
For anyone still having the battery drain issue, Factory Data Reset seems to fix the problem entirely. I was so pissed off that I had to do this that I decided to just go ahead and root the thing, and get back on CM. I was trying to wait for the six-month screen replacement warranty to end, but after the three-hour long process to gain root and S-Off, and then flash CM, it was well worth voiding my warranty. Life is better now :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HitShane:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ry-charger-reset-procedure-htc-one-m7-m8.html Yes this is how you are supposed to reset the battery with an HTC.

-Shane
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
You might be right about the never discharge a lithium battery, but there is no real evidence about that calibration method except a random dude stating that info came directly from htc support. I've looked on htc support page and didn't find any info about it
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dr_g:
I was one of the first who had done this update.

The battery drain was extreme. I noticed it immediately after I installed the update. The phone would heat a lot. Turning the phone off and on wouldn't help. The OEM charger wouldn't keep up with the battery drain unless I turned the phone off completely -- this gives you an idea how severe the drain was.

Another interesting thing I noticed was that it would take about half hour to install or install an app in the Google Play store. So, this must be related to the battery-drain issue directly or indirectly.

The phone was unusable.

The most surprising thing was that after a few days, extreme-battery-drain problem went away spontaneously! I didn't do anything and I don't know how the problem corrected itself.

However, I feel that with the 4.4.3 update, battery still drains faster than with the factory 4.4.2 OS. It's no longer extreme drain anymore but I feel that battery life isn't as good as with the factory 4.4.2 OS, perhaps worse about 20%. So, there is still room to improve and go back to at least the factory 4.4.2 OS battery life.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] HitShane:
The phone was fine from the time I did a factory reset and cleared the cache. The file was not on the HTC support site on Sat night but was on the site Sunday night when I downloaded it. Maybe they had already fixed it? Either way my battery life has been great. I use my phone a lot and don't connect to my Wifi often because I game a lot over my home network. I did read an email copy pasted from HTC support on how to sync the battery with that method. There is also built in HTC tools for the phone including a battery test you can access by entering a special code into the dialer.

"And finally, while it's not technically a feature, Sense 6 comes with a built-in function test that can be used by technicians to diagnose the device. To activate this hidden menu, open your Phone app and dial *#*#3424*#*#* "

Either way, mine works great ;)

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cgibsong002:
Is there any word on when they will re release the update? It was never pushed to me.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] iggdawg:
I ran this to troubleshoot some data issues I've been having, and 2 things I noticed that may or may not have to do with perceived battery drain (and interesting notes either way):

- "ok google anywhere" is an option in Google Now, where before I don't think the "anywhere" option was there. if users configure this, they'll definitely see more drain.

- the APN is different from before from what I can tell. before the APN was named "ATT Phone" with APN "phone", and now it's named "ATT Nextgenphone" with APN "nxtgenphone". not sure at all what impact this has on anything, but it's something different that's radio related.

I'm still poking around to see what else is different. but for what it's worth I haven't seen a big difference in battery life yet.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
I have the unbranded version (BS_US001) I bought from Amazon. It upgraded right away to 4.4.3 from HTC. The APN was Phone and, although it would indicate it was on the LTE network (AT&T, Los Angeles), I could never get more than 5Mb down, as if it were on HSPA.

I installed the AT&T RUU and immediately my speed shot up to 35-40Mb. The APN was now Nxtgenphone. What I've since read is Phone is used for H/H+ (4G), while Nxtgenphone is for LTE. But I have no idea how accurate that is.

The RUU's radio was also different. But I have been unable to ascertain if either of these two things, or both, are the reason for this dramatic speed increase.

As for Google Anywhere, I use it and have not seen any difference in battery consumption. In fact, I've been quite impressed with the M8's battery life overall.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
well HTC or ATT should fix this immediately or i definitely going to switch to an Iphone 6 plus as soon as they're out for sale I'm done with all this updates mess with android phones.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] iggdawg:
what issue? you said you were having no issues whatsoever.

Also, a single "full charge -> full discharge -> full charge" sequence will properly calibrate a lithium battery. your device is constantly hitting full charge, so as long as you let it fully discharge once in a while you're more or less always calibrated.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
I'm not having the issue cause I update via the RUU instead of using the OTA but It would have been easier to update via OTA instead of having to delete all and run the RUU that's why I'm complaining
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] BrianBaker:
Sounds like you're just looking for an excuse to justify purchasing an iPhone 6..Do you have a problem with the update or not?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] its_dale:
that's what it looks like. You wanted the update so bad and youre complaining you had to work around to get it instead of doing it OTA. Upset cuz the OTA never got to you.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
jajaja no, really i don't need an excuse, I don't have battery issue like i said, because I updated via RUU
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] GrandAdmiral:
Does anyone have a copy of the OTA, not the RUU?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] PwnCakes193:
Any chance you can provide the apn details? AFAIK att still uses the phone apn. I was just in contact with them earlier this week about the same data speed issues and they said phone was the defacto default for now.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
That may be the case, I'm no expert, but from the little bit I've Googled, "phone" is for HSPA+ (4G) and "nxtgenphone" is/will be for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) whenever AT&T rolls that out. "Phone" definitely works, but the speeds are consistent with H/H+. All I know is that after running AT&T's own RUU, the only APN on my phone is "ATT nxtgenphone" and it works.

The settings are basically the same as "phone," Just give it a name like "ATT Nxtgenphone" and simply put "nxtgenphone" (w/out quotes) in the APN slot. I don't remember if "phone" had a setting for MMS protocol, but here it's WAP 2.0. APN type = default,fota,mms,supl,hipri
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] chp:
One of the actions I took after updating my phone was to enable the AT&T Messages cloud syncing feature. I disabled that feature a couple days ago, and I believe my battery life has improved.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] GrandAdmiral:
What is the app called? I don't even see it in my list of apps.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] chp:
In the built-in Mesages app, there's a new option in Settings > AT&T Messages Backup & Sync. I had turned it on after the 4.4.3 update.

Once you turn it on, the only way to turn it off is from myAT&T (the website or the app); you have to go into the Services and remove Messages Backup & Sync.

[Sprint LG G3] rojicha07:
I've read a couple of posts about this, but it seems there's not a clear criteria about it. So I want to buy an LG G3. I live in Costa Rica. The cheapest version of this phone on ebay is the Sprint version, but the unlock codes available for sale on several websites for the LG G3 only support the AT&T and T-Mobile version.

So, I really need to know if the Sprint version of the LG G3 can be somehow unlocked (not by requesting to Sprint the unlock code, because most ebayers don't even have a Sprint account haha, which is kind of suspicious how they got hands on one of these devices :rolleyes:). Can someone please tell me for sure if there's a way to unlock this phone and use it internationally on a WCDMA (3G) network (with micro SIM card)? If there is, does it depends on the specific ROM/version/model? I don't want to buy this phone and ending up without being able to use it as a phone in my country. :confused:

Hey,

I've got a rooted Nexus 5 with android 4.4.3 on it.

on the past monthes it sggested me to OTA update but i knew that because of the root I'm not allowed to do it and ignored.

Yesterday, when I took my nexus out of my pocket it was stuck on boot screen (Google with open lock sign).

After some resaerch I realised that it might possible that it was open in my pocket and accidently OTA updta.

Now my situation is:

* Stuck on boot screen

* Can get to recovery but it says that I've encrypted my system.

* When charging - no charging screen

* Tried to manual flash rom/recovery/bootloade/baseband with fastboot and got error (flash write error)

* When opening shell I can clearly distinguish that some mounts are missing (like system...)

* Unable to factory reset / wipe anything.

Please if you got a clue how can I solve it write it down :)

Updates (For future googlers) :

* Tried to unplug the battery and plug it back but it didn't help...

Thanks alot,
