Just got this notification this morning as well and was about to post the same thing. Wanted to see if I could postpone til tonight, then give firewater a try before the update was scheduled.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HarryManback:
I've just been clicking the link that's in my first screenshot then clicking the home button and that makes it go away for a bit. Might just install it because it's very annoying, unless there's another way to stop it...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
Without root I don't believe it's possible to get rid of the update and the nagging. If you want to get root I would try using firewater now before your phone updates since it's free and you might get lucky and have it work for you. However there is a possibility it won't work since they changed things on some of the newer m8's. If you want to root and soff after updating your only option will be the sunshine method which costs $25. That is the only method that works on 4.4.3 as of now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GarnerArms:
I ended up with the same thing this morning. I am already rooted and S-off and have the newest 4.4.3 firmware. I think if you are rooted you can use TBU or something and rename a couple of files that will stop the Ota. Here is a link to a thread that might be helpful if you get rooted. http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/block-ota-updates-t2871520

Hopefully this is helpful.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bierce22:
if your going to do firewater do not update yet use firewater get s off then update and youll still have s off just dont put a custom recovery on yet after the update you can do whatever you want
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mumbles202:
Thanks for the tip. Was already rooted w/ Weaksauce so giving this a try.

Yep same issue here. Can not seem to get rid of it. I am rooted and have no desire to upgrade. I tried the xposed modules noitifyclean without success.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] fjsferreira:
Hi,

I decided to build Carbon Gee, since the last available version for gee is from July.

All the pre-requisites went fine, the build environment, etc, without any issues.

I couldn't find a detailed guide for carbon rom specifically, so I did a repo sync with carbon dev before adding vendor, device tree and kernel stuff.

Th repo sync tool all night!!! brrrr

Now, my poblem is, how do I proceed from here?

This is my first time trying to build a ROM, can anyone with more knowledge guide me a little?

I want to use Jollaman's device, vendor and kernel (bc it has stock camera drivers ported for gee) and is generally a great kernel.

Does Carbon require anything else specific to it? I can't find any info on this.

If I'm successful, I promise to relase updates at least weekly.

Thank you.

EDIT: I successfully added all that by the local_manifest.xml thing... now, my problem is, carbon supposes some files, (like carbon.dependencies) and stuff, and I'm only seeing cm related ones in the device folder... Can I just rename cm to carbon everywhere? I don't think that's how it works... :s

It won't start building. Later today, when I get home, I'l post the specific error messages.

You can try this method, IT DIDN'T WORK for me, but.... you might be luckier

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/root-asus-memopad-7-me70c-t2873517

in my case when i reboot the tablet it gets forever in bootloop, to recover from there i forced it to boot the bootloader via USB-ADB "adb reboot-bootloader" while the tablet was charging, then use the "factory reset" option.

Good luck, and please share your experience.. i'm getting nuts trying to figure this thing out :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] doktor83:
This method didn't work for me either, the same thing, stuck at loading screen.

You can restore factory settings by holding volume down + power when powering up, it will take you to Droidbot bootloader.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
Hi

I'd like to get a Z2, but I've heard that in most retail shops in my country the phones are sometimes branded, so I'd like to check that before buying. Is there an easy and fast method to do so?

Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
%99 of the time if it comes from a network provide its branded

if it comes from a 3rd party provider or directly from Sony usually its unbranded

this varies depending on your country
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
The problem is, I've heard that some of the 3rd parties in Poland sell branded Play/Orange phones and some people get to know it, when they get an update from either of those. The weirdest thing is, that in Sony Centre they say that Z2 in my other local shop can be branded, when in that shop they say that their Z2's are not branded. I don't know what to think about it at all. The thing is, that in the other shop the phone is 100$ cheaper and I can check it before buying, so I could check if it's branded or not, only I have to know how. Is it somewhat connected with the service menu?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Sony said "can be branded" if the shop says it isn't branded and it is, you can legally sue them

and branded deviced are usualy cheaper because they are simlocked and/or non bootloader unlockable
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
From what I've read I can easily ckeck if the bootloader is locked or not (via the service menu).

And for the discussion, in Sony Center they said that the other shop (one of the biggest retailers in country btw) bought those phones from Orange. In Komputronik they said that guys in Sony who told me that are sick in their minds. And I don't know who to trust XD
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
i think your best bet is to buy directly from sony or a supported 3rd party supplier that isnt this one

:/ safety is often worth the extra money rather then taking a potential risk
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
It seems I have to. Anyway, sorry for the offtop but I have a question for you. Do you think that Z2 is a good phone to upgrade from my current iPhone 4S? And do you think it would work good and fast for 3 years like my iPhone? Or would you rather buy something else? (G3, M8, Nexus maybe?)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Yes, especially as the prices have fallen now due to the Z3 release. I guess you'll be happy with the Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
Thanks for al your answers! I think I'll get a Z2 from my local Sony Center, but if anyone knows a way how to check the branding, please post it below anyway. It may be useful for some poeple :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Definatly!

alot of iphone users who love that minimalist ios look and feel often come to xperia for its UI and looks

however, go and play with the G3, and M8 and then come back to xperia

ive noticed some phones take some tinkering before the user can properly decide weather they like it or not

personaly for me id either have a iphone 5S (6 is terrible compared to 5, felt cheap :{ sme people like it i guess) or a xperia simply because i love both phones
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
I really like the looks of my 4S and iOS 7. I wanted something with bigger screen than in the 5S anyway, so that's why I waited till the keynote and the only things I can say about 6 and 6 plus's relation between hardware, design and price is just... meh :P

That's why I think about getting Z2. It looks like a bigger and facelifted 4S + from what I've heard the battery is really good in this one :) And the microsd port is always a nice thing to have ;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
why i think logically you will love Z2

Great battery - 3300Mah Li-ion

plenty of useful features.. if you use them

nice looks.. to me at least

1080p screen

water resistant IP58 Cert

xperias are tough. i beat a Xperia S up for about 3 years and it still works in my brothers hands

Z2 feels tough

micro Sd slot upto 128gb

many more, just check GSM arena or sony mobile website for phone details
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Great Li-poly 3200mAh! :D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
lol forgot about this xD

im not sure weather its li-poly or li-ion

Sony Team 7- Li-Ion

Sony Team 8- Li-poly

Xperia blog staff- 50:50ish poly vs ion

either way the battery should last 2-4 years
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
It's like Sony still has not decided what they did put in it xD
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
perhaps its a hybrid

since it says both li-poly and li-ion
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
And... What's the difference and what's better? :D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Li-ion wears out over time and incrases due to heating

Li-poly wears out due to use and after a long time it will explode
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmattom:
I've just read (and saw at many Youtube vidoes) that the Z2 likes to overhear, espacially while playing games/watching movies and (most of the time) while taking photos and recording videos. Is it really such a common problem?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hYpercrites:

Hey Folks,

As posted in another thread, I am just thumbing over some dll's (I am a reverser, its nice to know whats really happening in your hand!)

Some exports from cellcore caught my eye, the main one being "SimSetLockingStatus"

I am unsure to whether or not that is related to the sims locks (pin1/pin2) or the phone lock.

Looking at MSDN doesnt clear it up either!

A SIM_LOCKFACILITY constant.

SIM_LOCKFACILITY_CNTRL	Lock control surface.
SIM_LOCKFACILITY_PH_SIM	Lock phone to SIM card.
SIM_LOCKFACILITY_PH_FSIM	Lock phone to first SIM card.
SIM_LOCKFACILITY_SIM	Lock SIM card.
SIM_LOCKFACILITY_SIM_PIN2	Lock SIM card.

[Sony Xperia M] kliiv:
Hello guys,

I'm really in trouble, I wanted to install Home.apk of Z3 on my Xperia M, I used root explorer, I copied the Home.apk (Z3) and paste it in system/app and then tried to replace the older one, but the phone suddenly freezed before it can complete the replacement, and then it stuck on Xperia Logo on boot. so I guess it didn't even completed copying the home.apk (Z3) on the system/app

Is there a way that I can push the home.apk again to the system/app even if I can't turn on the phone

( I already backed up my home.apk so I have both the original home.apk and home.apk (Z3) )

Thank you in advance.

If you have unlocked the bootloader you can do it with cwm. If not then you can do it with adb.

If you have no idea how then google it.

Or just flash a stock rom with flashtool(again google it, there are many guides both in xda and in other sites).

[Java for Android App Development] Ely_en:
Hello! I'm new to this forum. I'm developing an Android app, I have some problems with the functionality of a timer and I don't figure out why. I would need some ideas.

In my application I have 2 activities: one is with the levels of a game, where you can chose between them and the second one is with the game itself. In the second activity I have a CountDownTimer which tells me when the game must finish. I have a progressBar assigned to that timer.

CountDownTimer mCountDownTimer; -global variable

In onCreate I have:

mProgressBar=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressBar);

mProgressBar.setProgress(0);

mCountDownTimer=new CountDownTimer(90000,1000) {

int i=0;

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]

public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

Log.v("Log_tag", "Tick of Progress" + i + millisUntilFinished);

i++;

mProgressBar.setProgress(i); }

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]

public void onFinish() {

i++;

mProgressBar.setProgress(i);

Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyActivity2.class);

startActivity(in);

}

};

mCountDownTimer.start();

I have also overriden the native back button from Android to go to the first activity, the one with the levels and there I try to stop the counter, but it doesn't seem to work at all. The counter doesn't stop, and the other functions don't work as well.

Here is the code:

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) { //Back key pressed

mCountDownTimer.cancel();

Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyActivity2.class);

startActivity(in);

mCountDownTimer.cancel();

return true;

}

return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

}

public void onBackPressed(){

mCountDownTimer.cancel();

Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyActivity2.class);

startActivity(in);

return;

How could I solve this? Thank you so much!
[Java for Android App Development] Edwin Bos:
Here is your problem:

CountDownTimer mCountDownTimer; -global variable

There are no global variables in Java, only instance variables. Since you didn't post your full code I'm going to make a few assumptions here...

public class myAwesomeTimerClass {

CountDownTimer mCountDownTimer;

// bla bla

}

Then in your second activity/class, you should refer to the class:

instead of:

mCountDownTimer.cancel();

try:

myAwesomeTimerClass.mCountDownTimer.cancel();

Good luck.

1. Go to settings, then app manager or applications, then click YouTube, then click uninstall updates.... Voila, you will get an older version of YouTube with the widget for your home screen.

2. If you want a more recent version, here is the apk. ver. 5.9.0.10
