I'm hit and miss on Google Hangouts...been using the new Verizon message app as it sends text over wifi and the app itself is multi platform (OIS,OSX,Android,PC,etc..they make an install-able app for all platforms) I'm not sure if Hangouts sends sms over Wifi and if im correct it only sends actual hangouts over wifi? Does Hangouts save sms and hangouts on the server so if I wipe my phone i can get the messages back? (Verizon message does)

I know its slightly off topic but would love to hear a users opinion on Hangouts.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I read in comments on Play Store from Verizon indications that VZWavservice was a rebranded McAfee antivirus.

It is confusing.
[Verizon LG G3] sentry_mode_activated:
If you have Google Voice turned on in Hangouts, all of your texts and calls are done over wifi/data. From what I've seen, your texts are saved online because they show up everywhere that you have Hangouts installed. The nice thing is that SMS and calls can also be done through the Chrome extension as well.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I just read a further response from Verizon on Google Play for the Verizon Support and Protection app, which is rebranded McAfee AV, in which it is clarified that VWZavservice has unrelated to Verizon Support and Protection. They did not clarify what it IS for though.

Could stand for Address Verification Service.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
I wish this was the case but it only seems to happen with the Hangouts messages and Google Voice messages. Any SMS sent through hangouts using your Verizon number doesn't get synced to all your other devices running hangouts. Google really should do that.

It would mean no more backing up and restoring text messages when moving to a new phone.
[Verizon LG G3] sentry_mode_activated:
Ah yes you're right about that. No backup of standard SMS. But Google Voice texts are backed up like you said. I've been using it for so long I don't even think about standard SMS anymore :)
[Verizon LG G3] jessie02:
Well it was working for a while, and now it won't play from my call log anymore. Who knows.....

If u search the vzwavsrvc error I think it appeared because of a google+ update. If you disable google+ no vzwavsvc error. Google it.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Ovy13:
I restored stock recovery and the stock native hotspot, which is about all I've actually modified -- otherwise I just had root with everything stock. However, the OTA still fails. It'll start installing fine, complete with green progress bar, and then eventually reach that red triangle warning. I've been using this method to accept the last few OTAs and I can't imagine why it wouldn't work this time. Is there something special about this new OTA or did I forget something in the steps I outlined above? Any help is much appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hippopo:
I'm also interested. Bump.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hippopo:
Is there maybe a log file I could look at and see where it finds something not kosher? I'm asuming that it does not want to update because it finds some system file missing or modified.

Turns out TetheringGuard.apk is not good (although I restored stock).

[MX Player] danivempire:
Hello all ^^

I've been using mxplayer for quite a while, no problems so far.

I've got a samsung galaxy note 10.1 (n8010) and was on android 4.1.2 (android revolution HD)

A few days ago I flashed android 4.4.2 (gnabo rom V6).

Here's an example to explain how things gets bad.

If I play a video and use HW+ everything goes fine.

But if for some reason I go into an other app during play or if I pause and put the tablet in sleep mode, as soon as I get back to the video the app crashes and it's impossible to load another video.

I have to go into the settings, disable HW+ and then it works again.

I never had this problem on 4.1.2

Does anyone have seen this kind of behavior???
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Wow, never seen that happen before. While waiting for an answer here, I would also suggest going to the 4.4.2 (gnabo rom V6) support team, and asking if they did anything funny with their hardware API stuff, bringing up this example.

For these HW/HW+ issues, it's 50/50 chance that it's an MX vs ROM issue!
[MX Player] danivempire:
Ok, I'll bring the issue over there as well :)

Yesterday they just made an update to 6.5 I'll do the update before asking, who knows maybe it'll fix it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jberylec:
Just switched from 8125 to 8525.

On the 8125 you could douple press the Cap key to turn on caps lock. I cant firgure out how to do this on the 8525. A double press doesnt work! :(

Note: The double press to lock function works just fine for the blue dot! It locks on and stays on until you press it once more.

Holding the Cap key to type in all caps is ridiculous!...

Any way to enable this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
hit your blue dot then the caps lock key, this will keep caps lock on, then repeat the process to disable it

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digrof:
Hey guys,

I rooted and unlocked my HTC One a few weeks ago, then I tried to gain S-OFF on my phone (HBOOT 1.54) with the rumrunner tool. But after a few tries (it wouldn't work) it gave another error. I then unplugged my phone and put it on, but after 5-7 seconds it suddenly rebooted. It just kept rebooting ever since, it stays on for 5-7 seconds and then turns off again. Also I noticed the 'Quietly Brilliant' line isn't showing anymore when it reboots itself. I can still get into recovery mode.

The weird part is: I utilised a factory reset and then i rebooted it and the bootloop stopped, but if I turn it off it just starts again and I need to utilise a factory reset again.

Please help me, I'm tired of worrying my phone will turn off by accident.

Thanks.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SteveYorks:
Yes, amazing price (that's why I put an exclamation mark in my title).

Price includes vat, don't know how much the postage is.

Green colour not available from Clove, available at Handtec but costs a lot more.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tilal6991:
Wow. That's actually an insane price. I'm seriously tempted the cancel my Sony Store order and get it through these guys instead.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ap3604:
2 quick questions as I'm a newbie to importing:

1) Do I have to pay "VAT" if I'm importing to the United States?

2) Would Sony honor the warranty on this 'grey market' device in the United States?

Thanks for any help you can give :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mattdm:
Wow, indeed. I'll probably order from Handtec soon.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SteveYorks:
You'll need to pay the vat as it's been sold in the UK and the taxman will want his cut of that sale.

Don't know about the warranty, it could be a European one or Worldwide, you'll need to contact the seller or Sony to check.

Also you'll need to check that the GSM will work in your region.

Update - No vat to pay for exporting.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SteveYorks:
I'll probably order a red one from Clove tomorrow,I hope this isn't a typo and they honor the price. I'm sure though I've seen it on Clove before at £420, so it does look like this is a genuine price reduction.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NisseGurra:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-16gb-green.html

£425.99 incVAT

£354.99 exVAT
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slonn:
Thanks for the info on the low price! Went ahead and ordered one from Clove.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mudnightoil:
Ordered mine. Great price. Happy to see Sony going for volume over margin. Hope to see lots of development on this, as it should be incredibly popular. Honestly expected it to be £500 at the Sony store and ~£440 at the cheaper retailers.

Re: importing to the US, you shouldn't need to pay VAT (contact the retailer to make sure they don't charge - may be better to order over the phone), but you will need to pay import / customs duty and possibly sales tax in your state in the US.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] richyb86:
Me too. Brilliant value
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bigmille:
GREAT! Thanks!

Just brought a red/orange one from Handtec, since they use DPD which is my favorite delivery company.

Does anybody know if the phone their sell is UK model, EU or grey import?

P.S. DPD will give you 1 hr window slot in the morning of delivery, and you can track the drive on a map to see roughly when you will get your delivery within the 1hr time frame. Much better than other company's 8am to 6pm delivery time frame, too afraid to go the the bathroom for missing the door bell approach.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mattdm:
There are only two models: D5803 and D5833. The D5803 has UK and EU bands, as well as bands for some US carriers. The D5833 is the one for Asian markets. You can be sure the Handtec one is the D5803.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bilboa1:
Handtec removed the green z3c and also matched price with clove - both are about 290 GBP without VAT
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
Ordered mine today and was pleasantly surprised when it came out to 290 GBP at the checkout since I'm from Canada and don't have to play the VAT fee! Best pre-order pricing for a beastly phone eVar!

P.S. LULz at all the Apple fanboys waiting in line and paying nearly twice as much for a significantly more inferior phone, but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Anybody know if phones from clove / handtec come as bootloader unlockable?

Listings say sim free/unlocked which is not the same thing...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tilal6991:
From history, it has always been the case that sim free Sony phones from any outlet always allow unlocking of the bootloader. I doubt that this would change this generation.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
Hah! Just noticed Clove is basically selling the Z3C for the same price as a Z1C. That's crazy!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bigmille:
I'm almost sure the bootloader will be unlock-able. Only carrier phones have their bootloader locked permanently. Those SIM free phones comes with bootloader unlock-able.
[Moto 360] animefans:
Here are the details

Honda Odessey 2013

OnePlus One 64GB, running 11.0-XNPH33R and franco kernel r16

Android Wear 1.0.1.1379611

Google Play Service 5.0.89 (1307510-038)

Google Search 3.6.14.1337016.arm

Moto 360 4.4W.1/KGW42N

Without Moto 360/Android Wear, my phone will pair with the car just fine

I can listen to audio (streaming from Tunein Radio)

I can make voice call, and the call will go through car speaker

With Moto 360/Android Wear, my phone will pair with the car just fine

I can still listen to audio (streaming from Tunein Radio)

However, when I make a voice call on my phone, the audio does not go through car speaker

Phone is still connected via bluetooth

On the dialer, there's an icon for directing audio to headset, speaker, or bluetooth. bluetooth option is not dimmed, but I can't select it either

In short, when Moto 360 is paired to the phone, voice call audio only go through phone speaker

As a test, while I am still on the call, with audio going through phone speaker, I goto Android Wear, and disconnect Moto 360. 5 seconds later, voice call audio go through car speaker!

Does anyone have experience with moto 360 and bluetooth voice call over car speake?

I hope this is a bug, and not a feature!
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
I have the same exact issue but with a Bluetooth earpiece, the voice call audio will not go through my BT earpiece. I've missed many important calls due to this. It's almost as if the voice audio is being rerouted to the watch!

Same issue

I have the exact same issue. It is with my wife's car, a 2014 MAzda CX-5 and also occasionally in my Nissan LEAF. It bothers me.
[Moto 360] danyvw:
Same here with my 2014 Genesis.
[Moto 360] jt3:
For those replying to the OP, you might want to list your phone too, not just your car, since it's more likely the phone that's the issue.

On my Nexus 5, I don't see this issue with my 2004 Acura, nor with my wife's 2014 Jeep. I've received and made calls in both vehicles just fine, although, I will say that I haven't had much luck using the 360 to place the call. It always seems to fail to find the right person, or simply fail to understand my command at all.
[Moto 360] UTZorro:
I'm having similar issues with my G3 and BMW M4.... If my phone and the watch are connected, the car will *usually* connect normallyl... but if I make a call, the call usually goes fine for a while but then all of a sudden the car will lose the connection randomly. This did not happen before I had the watch. If i disconnect the watch from the phone, the car phone picks right back up and works normally. There have also been a few times where the phone and the car have not automatically paired now that I have the watch. Any fixes? Is there a way to prioritize bluetooth to the car connection? I did notice that one time when my call got kicked off the carphone was when a message was coming through.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcase:
WeakSauce is fixed in 4.4.3, we have known this was coming for months now. It won't be updated for a number of reasons. You need to unlock/s-off before updating to 4.4.3 to get root on 4.4.3 for now.

Firewater - unlock/s-off - Free - http://firewater-soff.com/ (does not work on all m8s. Does not work on 4.4.3)

SunShine - unlock/s-off - $25 - http://theroot.ninja/ (Does not work on 4.4.3 for the time being, will update)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcase:

SunShine now supports the Verizon HTC m8 4.4.3 build for unlock and s-off

Try to find where it's been downloaded to. On Motorola it was in the cache/fota folder. Once you find it, just use a root file explorer to move it somewhere else.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brackett5:
Just curious, if we use sunshine for 4.4.3 are we still able to unlock the bootloader?

SunShine does two things, unlocks the bootloader, and s-offs the device.

pardon my old lady cautiousness, my verizon s-off m8 is having some issues charging and i was considering taking up verizon on the replacement which if it comes 4.4.3 with s-on, then i am not SoL because sunshine now supports s-off?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Once you run it it checks your phkne out If it is going to work on your phone it will take you to the pay screen. Before it runs the program. Then pay then it will proceed

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brackett5:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Boot to boot loader to check if you s-off lol. If it says s-off an unlocked then you need to fastboot twrp an flash supersu thru twrp to gain root.

How do you boot into bootloader?

I recommend this one for vzw m8. Very solid.

I recommend you fastboot flash this. If you have adb an fastboot set up on pc..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brackett5:
Sorry I'm asking so many questions, but do I just installed like I would an apk?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
No. You need to fastboot it. Or some people use the app called flashify to install recovery. Myself I only fastboot so I'm not help with flashify. If I was you I would Google how to setup adb an fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brackett5:
Do I need to be rooted, cause root checker says I'm not.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You install root thru twrp once you get that flashed to your phone...You download the supersu zip an flash that thru twrp that will give you root...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brackett5:
When I go into bootloader. And go to fastboot, I do not see an option for the TWRP I download.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You have to fastboot flash it. Which means thru your pc to your phone..I think you need to read up on adb an fastboot. Cause you need that on pc or you can go the flashify route.

If you can't fig it out. Pm me an I'll help you tomorrow. I have to go to sleep work is coming real quick in the am lol.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brackett5:

Lost Weaksauce root - Sunshine not working for me..

So I finally gave in and accidentally updated to this 4.4.3 that VERIZON was annoying me about and lost my weaksauce root.

So I tried Sunshine app but it hangs on the processing circle and eventually reboots the phone with no luck. I went into Bootloader (rebooting and holding the power vol-down key) and it says 'tampered' 'Locked' so I'm assuming it's locked:

***Tampered ***

***LOCKED***

etc etc.

So how do I get my root back now that I've done the dumb OTA 4.4.3 VZ EPS?

Can someone advise?
