FYi -- i just came across some good reading:

according to an "insider":

"...of what kind of phone you have a $20 mediaMAX data package will give you unlimted access to the web that will not use your minutes, whether you're using a phone, a PDA, or even a laptop card."
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hn0n1:
While the M8 is a nice device, I hate it. This device has caused me no end of problems..

Every time I try to flash anything, it kills it, boot loops, stuck at HTC logo, etc... I've never had so much trouble with any device, even changing simple settings seems to do the same.

Changing the dpi - Stuck at HTC Logo...

Installed Xposed (Not using ART) - Stuck at HTC Logo...

Restore Nandroid Backup - Stuck at..... blah blah blah... :rolleyes:

So I'm trying to get back to stock and then maybe start again. If I try to flash my stock recovery backup, it then won't boot into recovery it just goes back to HBoot, I've tried downloading Stock Recoveries, but I'm not sure if it's the right one. I've tried zipping the recovery into the 0P6BIMG.zip and flashing it through HBoot, but this doesn't work. My version-main is missing so, I can't check it with the one in the android-info.txt. I think it's something to do with Firewater S-Off.

I'm stuck, anybody else having similar problems... :confused:

Thanks ...John...

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decayer177:
I see that you're S-OFF, but is your bootloader still unlocked? There's a method of unlocking/locking the hboot without HTCDev if you're S-OFF. You could try running a RUU exe then unlocking your bootloader again. S-OFF will stay through the RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snwman:
I can't see it being firewater problem cause there is so many users including myself with no problems. But I had unlocked my boot loader before I s off'd with firewater
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
M8,
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hn0n1:
Yeah, My bootloader is still unlocked. I had used HTC Dev before using firewater too.. I think the problem was there before I'd S-Off'd, so I don't think Firewater caused that, but I had read that some people had missing a version-main after using it...

I had thought about flashing an RUU, as this has usually been the answer in the past, but I could only find them for the Verizon and T-Mobile US versions. As far as I'm aware they haven't released one for the international version..

I was thinking about converting to the GPE edition. Hopefully replacing the HBoot and recovery in the process, but would I still need to know the version-main..

:fingers-crossed:

Thanks ...John...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Missing version-main is a TWRP 2.7 problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
By the looks of things you only did S-OFF, rooted perhaps, custom recovery(Hence missing main-version) but you haven't converted to any other device and/or went with SuperCID? Did you do an OTA update to the newest 2.xx.xxx.x firmware? If not then perhaps you're device is still on the 1.54.61.5 version.

You can grab a nandroid backup + stock recovery from the COLLECTION of Stock backup's thread. ORANG001 is in there. Assuming of course you either did an OTA(When you bought the phone back in the early days) or bought it before the 2.xx.xxx.x update, chances are that your version number that you're looking for is 1.54.61.5 so that settles that issue then.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hn0n1:
Yeah, I unlocked the boot loader with HTC Dev, then S'Off'd, rooted it and then installed a custom recovery almost straight after getting the phone. I then flashed ViperROM so I definitely didn't do any OTA's.

I didn't bother with SuperCID at the time because I didn't need it, I was just flashing ROMs, mostly. Then I stated noticing that almost every ROM that I'd flash would just hang at the HTC logo.

I managed to to restore the stock rom from my backups, but the recovery wouldn't take, although this is just a backup of the custom recovery that I first flashed. I had tried the orang001 backup from the collection of stock backups, and that wouldn't work either, and the same with the custom recoveries from the same page..

If I flash Philz recovery though, this works every time... TWRP I had some trouble with, but got it working eventually.. I just can't seem to get a stock recovery to work, no matter what..

Thanks ...John...

Hey guys from many time i am thinking to buy mi3 but i am thinking is the indian ver really realiabe for long term use as i usually dont change phone for 2 Years.also i am reading reviews regarding people getting defective piece from flipkart.and flipkart also not listening for replacement once you pay for the phone. Is it safe to buy this phone from flipkart?as i have not yet bought anything from flipkart.plz help me:confused:
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghav29:
Firstly it is very reliable according to me. There's is a small chance of a manufacturing defect. Every phone has it. My HTC had it too.

Secondly the phone is no longer available on Flipkart.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Somyab:
I am not talking about normal manufacturing defefts.i am talking abt big one.like call speaker not working.touch screen problem.etc.etc.we cant live with these defects.it is temporary not available.but i am sure it will be available after some time
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghav29:
That could be an issue with any phone. But most phones don't have any defect. Mine didn't have. Also I talked to the customer care guy and he told me that in case of any problem Flipkart would replace it or the service center guys would fix it without any extra charge.

Yea, maybe in a month or so it'll be available again.

Well few defects are being reported as seem the new lot has it as I bought almost 5 phones till now gifting my brother and sis and few to xda user and till now just one reported of heating issue which was replaced in a day by flipkart after approval of return which took 2 days.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchauhan:
Great Hardware.

I am using one from last two weeks and i can say hardware is greeeeat. From hardware prospective only downside is limited internal storage.

Flipcart is very safe if you buy anything from WSRetail.

However when it comes to software I really did not like MIUI (can also say hate it) . It is heavily customized fork of Andriod and not in a good way. It's stable releases are also full of bugs and useless features. MIUI forum is full of fan boys and their dev team seems like more focused on features than stability, and don't get me started on the UI of V6, which resembles IOS in so many ways:mad::mad::eek::eek:

If you are a fan of rooting, Xposed and tweaking you would not like MIUI at all. You can do all this but not in normal easy way. If you are a regular/normal user then it is the device for you.

They stopped it's sale for couple of months now so you need to wait till then.

On a side note, If Varun will not come up with a fully working CM without kernel sources in next few weeks then I might think to sell mine.:(:(

Hi,

Since i need to update my m8's firmware for flashing the new ViperRom I have to go back to stock.

Firewater isn't working and i'm not paying 25$ for sunshine. But now I i'm facing this problem; I dont have a stock nandroid backup matching my CID ( T-MOB003)(1.57.114.2). Is there an option for me to pick a different nandroid backup and if so which one should I pick? has to be 4.4.2 so i can OTA to 4.4.4

T-MOB003 is for T-Mobile NL (Netherlands) they're running x.xx.114.x. If you're still not on 4.4.3/4.4.4 then you're likely still running 1.57.114.2 or 1.57.114.x if there were smaller updates released for it...

Unfortunately I don't think there are any nandroids on here, a quick search doesn't turn up anything online either and I don't have the time to go in depth for NL forums etc. So it seems there aren't any available.

As for this:

There isnt any information to be found on the web for my cid..

The search for your CID main-version number took all but 1minute.

[Samsung Gear S] Co-re:
I wish it had active noise cancelling like the Nokia Bluetooth headset.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
What is the different between the Samsung Gear Circle and the LG Tone Plus (Which I currently have) the both go around your neck(So to speak) you can answer calls listen to music have spoken text. So am I just paying for the Brand of Samsung or is there a big difference?
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
I also have and absolutely love the Tone + and would love to know if:

the majority of the weight on the back of your neck could be an issue after a while (I wear my tone + all day long and don't feel a thing).

they slide off to one side, or bounce on your neck when running.

using one plug in yiur ear and leaving one plug out would create an imbalance.

About that last point, the Note + keep the plugs in place through magnets, but I can not imagine how this would work with the Circle. They seem to be really designed to be used in both ears or none at all. I sometimes need to hear my environment, including when driving and running.
[Samsung Gear S] scoobrel:
I bought the the gear circle and I love it. It's lightweight. When I'm not using it i sometimes forget I'm wearing it. It also comes with 3 different neck guards to keep it in place so it won't slide or bounce even with one ear plug in. I have set up the eq and it sounds great.
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Oooh, now I get what the neckguards are all about! Thanks for the pic!!

If you wanted to go running with only one earplug in, is there a way to attach the other plug to the neckguard so it won't bounce around?
[Samsung Gear S] scoobrel:
No problem, if you use only one plug the other one will dangle, I usually just tuck it under my shirt.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Why does the circle need the Samsung gear app?
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Thanks. I guess for my use case, the Tone + are a better fit, then.
[Samsung Gear S] ebpman:
LG tone vs Gear Circle

Having all the LG headsets, I believe the Gear Circle to be a better active headset. I have been using the headset for a week now. Audio quality is better than the LG line. The noise isolation is better than the LG line and the feel is better than the infinim headset. my only complaint is the ear buds could be much smaller. Here is my unboxing and pairing videos. I will have a pros and cons later this week., http://youtu.be/UT4NiDGOwLU unboxing and this is the setup one. http://youtu.be/9Us7oRuprn8
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Thanks. Now I know for sure these would not work for me: I can't stand earplugs that are designed like this (half in half out), and once I saw them in your hand, I realized how large the pieces in front of the earplus are, which would be hanging off my ears.

For now, LG is still my number one. Maybe the Circle 2. ..
[Samsung Gear S] CharlesIstus:
Nice unboxing sir? You show a good view to the flexibility of the the device, and to the sizes of the ear plugs. Have much flop is there with the neck brace on?

Thank You
[Samsung Gear S] callif:
I find that the circle slides backward. When it does (because of the weight of the neck support unit) it pulls the buds out of my ears. The Tones do not. I have the infinitum; should have stayed with the unit with active noise cancelling. Sound in all units is excellent. However, nothing matches the noise cancelling ability of my bose in-ear units. However, they require a headset jack.
[Samsung Gear S] ThE_SoUrCe:
Anyone here experiencing pairing issues with gear circle and host samsung phone? I have a tab S and it does pair to gear Circle and use it as BT headset. Thing is, gear manager cant seem to detect the gear circle, it keeps on connrcting to my gear 2. I tried everything from reinstalling gear manager to force pairing but it still cant detect the circle. Any advise?
[Samsung Gear S] AITT:
9​

Exchange them if you can. I bought a pair that had trouble connecting and the touch volume didn't work. Tried to unsync, resync, nothing. Replaced and made sure to sync only in Gear Manger and never a problem since. But that's my experience.

I only wished noise supression mics. My wife hears the wind under my motorcycle helmet but I had some cheap Quikcell BT that were flawless. Debating about returning but the sound quality is outstanding for me.
[Samsung Gear S] ThE_SoUrCe:
We have another circle here and it's the same story, perhaps tab S is not fully supported yet, we could pair it as headset though.
[Samsung Gear S] AITT:
Mist likely the case then.

My Gear Circle

I started using Gear Circle since three days and I am loving it. I am using it in conjunction Gear S and the whole experience is amazing. The sound is great, compared to other headphones in this range the sound is not that good but yes the functionality it offers is simply amazing. The Gear app is a headache initially but later on when you start using it you will realize that the app is worth the hassles. Overall I will give it an 8/10.
[Samsung Gear S] jez924:
Unfortunately I was not a fan of the Gear Circle. My personal opinion is that if your just using them to make calls or listen to music and you don't do a lot of physical movement than they work fine. Sound quality was great but found that the range compared to other Bluetooth headsets I have was not to great. I work out in the gym alot and also run and having to keep pushing the ear buds back in constantly was a pain. And yes I was using the supplied neck piece. Its also had some issues pairing to my Gear S. Pairing to my Note Edge was fine. So returned them and for now I will continue to use my Rocketfish Bluetooth Stereo headset, which has never failed me and for 50 bucks does everything I need.
[Samsung Gear S] mjasonm:
Yes, I think that is the case. I have a Circle and tried to use Gear Manager on the Tab S 8.4 to connect and Gear Manager does not find the Circle. Tested the same Gear Circle on a friend´s Tab S 10.4 and got the same issue. Tested with S5 and S4 and it worked fine with Gear Manager on both cases. Looks like there is something about Tab S + Circle. If anyone knows more information about this issue, please share with us. Samsung has nothing on it.
[Samsung Gear S] Thongvilay:
Hi, just curious to where I can sell my gear circle? Swappa doesn't have a section for headsets, trying to sell this at a discounted price of 70 shipped, it's the black (dark) ones, doesn't come with neck brace, charger or ear extra buds (currently has the medium ones on there now) still has the protective film on them. Anyone know, let me know, thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Why are you selling it? ( not sure that's even allowed on here anywho) you can't return it to the store? Why not include all the items it came with the box understable if you don't have it but the charger and other things tsk tsk
[Samsung Gear S] Thongvilay:
Sorry, meant to say no box, but I do have the charger. Selling it because I do not like them, just as the one post stated above, they do not work well for someone who is active, perhaps it works great for someone with the right ear shape, but I find myself constantly having to push them back into my ears after just looking left and right. Sound quality during a call while driving is iffy on the other end also, I hear them find, they tell me it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

And the post wasn't to sell it, it was a description of how much I wanted to sell it for and the description of the headset itself. :o
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
You may have better luck on CL or eBay not a lot of people are happy with the circle

*the post was to sell it on here since Swappa does not have a headphone section according to your post. So you asking where to sell it and giving a price and description is pretty much intent to selling it. Otherwise your post would have said something along the lines of "where can I sell my used gear circle?" no description or how much your selling it for just a question. Anyway someone may indeed want it on HERE Good luck

Have you tried the sony mp3 headset? I have 2 pairs i use them for biking, gym and walking. Absolutely love them. Battery life is incredible, pkenty of volume and good sound.I have a set of moto bt headset and they are terrible. I gave up on bt.
[Samsung Gear S] Nerowoof:
I received these as a gift and was excited to use them.

They don't stay in my ears at the gym. Also, if you sweat a lot, as I do at the gym sweat will collect in your ear canal and block all sound coming from them.

I found the volume way too low at the highest level and once again...they fall out of my ears constantly.

Im glad some have found these good but for me they are a complete fail.

Yes, I used the plastic brace. I have a Note4 and the Gear2 so I was liking the ease of compatibility but these are just a horrible fail for me.

Im looking to return them as i have only worn them once, not worth a second try at this point.
