So we could oem unlock if we had access to fastboot, well what if fastboot is hidden behind the recovery or download mode just like the LG volt?

Here is my solution to stop the very annoying sound of ActiveSync:

If that app was written correctly you would just have to go to the control panel to stop the sound at these 2 events.

BUT that will not solve the sound, it is even worse actually !! when no sound is associated, ActiveSync is doing a hardware BEEP !!! horrible !!!

and there is no way to get rid of this BEEP.

My solution is to use a silent.wav file for these 2 events.

Conclusion: activesync really sucks.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] pandasa123:
Hey guys, I will be compiling a list for Material Design based apps...With the new Android L coming out soon, many app developers have been updating their apps so they reflect the new Google Material Design Guidelines.

Q. What is Material?

Material is about layering information and presenting and interacting with that information in a predictable way. Android now ships with inbuilt support for Touch feedback, transitions, and viewstate changes. A design that based on the concept of paper and ink.

Goals - Create a visual language that synthesizes classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science. Develop a single underlying system that allows for a unified experience across platforms and device sizes. Mobile precepts are fundamental, but touch, voice, mouse, and keyboard are all ﬁrst-class input methods.

Principles:

Material is the metaphor. A material metaphor is the unifying theory of a rationalized space and a system of motion. The material is grounded in tactile reality, inspired by the study of paper and ink, yet technologically advanced and open to imagination and magic.Surfaces and edges of the material provide visual cues that are grounded in reality. The use of familiar tactile attributes helps users quickly understand affordances. Yet the flexibility of the material creates new affordances that supersede those in the physical world, without breaking the rules of physics. The fundamentals of light, surface, and movement are key to conveying how objects move, interact, and exist in space in relation to each other. Realistic lighting shows seams, divides space, and indicates moving parts.

Bold, graphic, intentional. The foundational elements of print-based design—typography, grids, space, scale, color, and use of imagery—guide visual treatments. These elements do far more than please the eye; they create hierarchy, meaning, and focus. Deliberate color choices, edge-to-edge imagery, large-scale typography, and intentional white space create a bold and graphic interface that immerses the user in the experience. An emphasis on user actions makes core functionality immediately apparent and provides waypoints for the user.

Motion provides meaning. Motion respects and reinforces the user as the prime mover. Primary user actions are inflection points that initiate motion, transforming the whole design. All action takes place in a single environment. Objects are presented to the user without breaking the continuity of experience even as they transform and reorganize. Motion is meaningful and appropriate, serving to focus attention and maintain continuity. Feedback is subtle yet clear. Transitions are efﬁcient yet coherent.

Examples of Material Design:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hrithikpadamata:
Hi To Xperia U Modders and porters. :silly:

Please guys please poty Xiomi Mi3 Android 4.4 kitkat to xperia u

actaully i have checked devswift1 and others miui but i didn't liked them much due to they are\e build with ics.|

so please port the android 4.4 to to xperia u
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deshx:
I wish too (for Xgo actually). but how i see the situation :

Mi3 MIUI takes too much RAM..it would be hard to get the interface working as-it-is on a 512mb RAM device.

battery consumption can be a problem too. our devices don't have enough juice.

from what we are seeing in reviews of Mi3, i say lets modify stock KK (CM etc), instead of trying to port MIUI KK to 2012 devices. :confused:

Sorry if i misunderstood anything, im not a dev :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hrithikpadamata:
Stock KK is already modified...so the only solution is to change the device!!!
[LG Optimus G (International)] sir Impecable:
Hey guys.A while back I wanted to install adfree so I rooted my e975.Sometime in August I updated the android to 4.4.2 and I think the phone got unrooted.But SuperSU was still installed and I wanted it removed.So I tried a factory reset (settings->backup&reset->factory reset data) but SuperSU was still there afterwards.

Then I thought I should flash the kdz.So I tried to get my phone into download mode (volume buttons pressed and then connect to pc) but the screen shows nothing.I also tried going into recovery (volume down+power button) but that doesn't appear to work either.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with my phone?Everything else is working fine so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Sorry if something doesn't make sense, English isn't my first language.
[LG Optimus G (International)] sir Impecable:
No one has any ideas?

I think this may be a hardware problem so I should find a way to hide the fact that the phone got rooted in case I need to sent it back.Is there any way to remove SuperSU without flashing the kdz?
[LG Optimus G (International)] brijen95:
just do a hard reset or press vol+ and connect to pc again or just check out drivers
[LG Optimus G (International)] sir Impecable:
Thanks for helping me brijen95.I just tried what you said and volume down+power key doesn't seem to work.The screen just stays black so I can't do a hard reset.Vol+ and connect to pc doesn't work either.The phone just starts charging after a few seconds.I also just reinstalled the drivers but it didn't change anything.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ff_29:
I had a hard time getting into download mode recently as well. What ended up working for me was holding the volume keys for about 10 seconds, then while still holding the buttons, plugging the usb cable into the phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] sir Impecable:
No that didn't work either :(.

Is there any way to remove SuperSU?Keep in mind that my phone is not rooted anymore.

Edit: Well I just found out that the phone is entering download mode but not showing anything on the screen.I managed to flash the kdz with no issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
So this is a bit of a cross-post from here where I asked the general M8 community.

There is at least some minor evidence that T-Mobile and/or Sprint M8's do not have this problem - but at least on the former it may be due to a custom ROM.

Basically Netflix audio sync is off. You will see lips move a good .25 seconds before sound comes out. That may not sound like much, but it is very noticeable - like watching a bad dubbed movie.

As the thread above shows, I have tried just about everything I can think of. I'm 100% sure it's not my network connection, Netflix account, or show - as everything works fine under the same controls on my wife's S5.

I'm sure there has to be a good chunk of people who use Netflix, and I find it hard to believe I'm not finding more reports about this problem.

thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
I just tried it on mine. Stock 4.4.3. Seems just fine. I tried several different movies and they all seem to play as they should.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] izzaeroth:
I tried it on my wife's which is running sense and I didn't notice any sync issues either
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
Just doesn't make any sense. If mine doesn't work - and the Verizon one I tried didn't work, and the AT&T one I tried didn't work... ???

I'm thinking about swapping it out (again), but since every one I've actually had my hands on has this issue, why should I expect any to function?

Advice?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Why not try flashing the vzw adsp and see what happens. You can easily flash back to what you had originally
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
I'm not S-Off on this phone yet and am not going to pay for sunshine until I'm 100% sure I am keeping this phone (don't want to pay if I need to return it). I usually prefer to run a stock (close to stock ROM)... although if I could I certainly would flash another to test. But, at this point I'm stock to only trying things on stock.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
I don't know what to tell you. It is odd that you see the same problem on multiple devices like that. I tried it again and watched for the slightest bit of out of sync and mine is spot on. I'm pretty fussy about this type of thing too. Used to have PMP. I'd rip my own movies to put on it and would run into sync issues like this once in a while. Drove me crazy. That's not much use to you but I'm just trying to get the point across that if mine was out of sync, I'd notice it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
I do appreciate it...knowing that someone else is on Stock and cognizant of the issue, but not seeing it.

Curious how long have you had your M8 for and if it is the standard Gunmetal grey?

Also...are you rooted and/or Unlocked//S-Off? Have you ever flashed a custom ROM or been on stock?

Finally, are you running the latest Netflix from Play Store? (updated Sept 9th)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calebcabob:
Or try installing an older Netflix.apk? That's what I'd try.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
My phone is one of the earlier ones. Bought it 4 days after the launch date. And yes, it's gunmetal grey. It's rooted, unlocked, and S_Off. Has been since they released Firewater. Seems to me that was within the first 2 weeks after launch.

I've flashed quite a few custom roms in the past but it's been a while now. Stock Sense suits me just fine (first time I've ever said that about stock anything :) ) . I always ended up coming back to stock. I can make all the tweaks I want using things like xposed or a root file manager and stuff still all works :)

As for the version of Netflix I'm using, mine was a version or 2 behind but I just updated it to the newest this morning to see if there was any difference. I still don't see any sync issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
I did backrev to two different 2.x versions and then finally an 1.8x version. They all had issues, although the 1.8 was much less noticeable. I may not have even noticed it on that one if I hadn't had the previous issues. Of course, 1.8x is over 2 years old and has some other buffering issues.

Thanks. I think I'm going try to get another replacement - although I don't have high hopes based on the fact that the other ones I've had my hands on had the same issue.

One last thing...can you tell me one show/movie that you were watching that looked good to you (time stamp too)?

I can't believe I just had bad luck with the 3 I picked, especially since they looked fine on my wife's phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
Well, just received my 3rd M8 from the retailer.

1st one I didn't test the Netflix issue on because I had a return issued quickly due to the screen not being flush and loosey buttons.

2nd one is what i have posted about here with the Netflix issues.

3rd one just arrived - screen also has quality issues, not being flush where it meets the grill (and no, it wasn't designed to be that way as my 2nd one is almost perfect and the other two vary the level the glass meets the grill in a variety of ways...inconsistency means that at least 2 of the 3 of them are wrong).

Anyway... I have the exact same issue with the audio sync on the new phone as well.

At this point, I have to believe that every M8 has this issue and those that don't see it either haven't tried or don't care enough to notice.

Perhaps this issue only happens with the Stock ROM, which is why many of you don't see it(?).

I have watched half a dozen shows/movies on Netflix and all of them have the issue. I would say 4 of them it is just blatant...easily a quarter second off or more. On the other ones, it is maybe barely noticeable...but still there.

Again, I have tried 2 M8s that were in my possession, one in the Verizon store, and one in the AT&T store (4 total).

I've contacted Netflix and they were mostly useless. They claim they escalated the issue to R&D, but could provide me no sort of ticket tracking or call back, which basically means nothing will ever be done.

I was surprised that HTC support took more interest than I thought, since I normally would blame this issue on the software vendor as they should be the ones responsible for coding to work with a particular OS. HTC escalated as well, but by the time someone gets back to me on it (7-10 days), my return period will be over. Even then, I doubt HTC will do anything about it as it appears to only be Netflix (not YouTube). OTOH, seeing as Netflix works fine on their competitor's phones (S5), maybe they will actually pursue it.

I appreciate that some people responded that they don't see the issue - but from my standpoint...you can understand how I can't see that it is possible that I have tried 4 phones (from 2 providers) that all have the issue. I have no explanation.

The only thing I haven't tried on these is to run something other than Stock, because I can't firewater S-OFF, and am not paying for Sunshine since it is tied to device and I have had to switch the device so many times.

Right after I did the tests today, Netflix appears to have gone down. When I get back from dinner tonight I will post a couple of samples that show the issue clearly and some others where it is more minute.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
New Girl - Season 3 - Episode 1 - Starting at 3:25 (after intro), the whole conversation between the two dudes. It is really clear when the white guy says at 3:35 "To become best friends" and at 4:37 when he says "I'm also a socket." Really the whole conversation it is evident, but these two lines it is exceptionally apparent.

3 Days to Kill (Movie) - 49:58 "I'm plugging in my phone, this stuff sucks." In reality, much of what I skimmed through in this movie looked pretty good...I think it is partly because of how the actors enunciate and move their lips (as opposed to the white guy in New Girl who really moves his lips when he speaks). But, here at 49:58 you can see it off.

Bones - Season 1 Episode 1 (Pilot) - 15:36 "Lennie Kravitz or Vanessa Williams"

There does seem to be a bit of inconsistency in how good or bad things are. Usually, I can see something off within the first 10 seconds of conversation, and sometimes I need to watch a couple of minutes. I'll admit that there are some points where it looks almost perfectly fine - enough that I might not have detected it were there not these more blatant areas.

Nonetheless, when I watch on my PC, or on my wife's S5 there are absolutely zero problems.

Netflix still seems to be flaky right now, so I'm not going to try to get more examples until I get some more feedback.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
I have the same issue. I just installed the newest firmware and update and the poroblem is still there. I do have the HK audio installed, maybe I should disable it? It's only an issue with netflix though.

Ordered a chromecast, it better not persist the problem onto that!

Then again youtube has it's own problem, seems to be network throttling to me pauses every 10 seconds or so...Been like that for some time too.

BTW most M8's don't have perfectly flush screens, those seem to be the anomaly rather than the standard. Some are worse than others though. I honestly never really notice it though in use, just when I first purchased.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
Good to know that the issue is still there with HK (which means you upgraded the audio DSP, right?). I wanted to try that, but since I'm not S-Off I couldn't.

I have hardly used YouTube, so haven't seen a throttling issue...I just watched a few videos long enough to validate there were no sync issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
No way this is carrier specific. I just installed 4.4.4 Pac man Rom on my nook HD+, then installed netflix. Audio is also out of sync, maybe not quite as bad as the M8 (which is faster) but it is still an issue. It does not look like it affects the chromecast though.

Looks like LG, Motorola Maxx and other phones are also having issues. Might be more or less related to 4.3 / 4.4 android devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
Well it's not just 4.3/4.4 since my M8 was tested on 4.2.

The only other KitKat device that I tested on was a G5...and it was flawless there.

I suppose though if there are a lot of other devices having issues on KitKat then it definitely may be more of a Netflix problem.

Also, due to the extreme lack of response to my post, and others I have seen over the past year on various devices, most people claim not to see the issue.

I can only believe that (at least on the M8) these people either don't watch closely enough to see/care, or else they are almost impossibly watching only shows that it wouldn't be visible in (which based on my sampling would be pretty amazing).

I have an escalated case with HTC and they should be getting back to me shortly if they can recreate the problem.

At this point I'm just as frustrated that no one else is making this an issue as I am that it is one. If I can get HTC to at least admit that there is a sync issue, then I will at least feel exonerated and perhaps other people will begin admitting that they see issues on their devices as well. If this extends beyond the M8, then likely Netflix is the one that is going to need to be prodded by the public to get their act in gear.

I supposed i would be a nice test if someone had a device that could run something pre KitKat to see if the problem doesn't exist, and if it arises when upgraded to KitKat.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Maybe the lack of response indicates that few people watch Netflix on their PHONE??

Love the screen, but for watching movies I switch to tablet or smart TV....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
The fact that the phone isn't the optimal media for Netflix doesn't diminish the problem. Although, admittedly I'm sure it is a secondary or tertiary outlet for most...as it is for me, it is still supposed to work (i.e. it is listed as a compatible application). Additionally, it has worked on other phones/versions of android...so there is obviously some issue.

I Netflix doesn't want to support it on phones, because they think it is unimportant, then they should clearly indicate it is not compatible. Since many new phones are 4x+ more powerful than a $40 tabled that runs Android, there isn't a great reason why it shouldn't work fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
October 15th update of Netflix hadn't made anything better.

HTC was supposed to follow up with me and it has been 3 weeks. I am reaching out to them today to see where they are with their testing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vprasad1:
Have you tested with a full wipe and only installing Netflix?

Have you tested on WiFi vs on 4G?

Have you tested on different WiFi networks?

Have you tested in different 4G locations?

Have you tested with power saver mode enabled or disabled?

Tons of variables to test against, those are just a few.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
I have tested all those things above with no change (other than power saver activated). I also have the exact same problem on my tablet (Nook HD+ running android 4.4.4)

I don't watch netflix ON my phone, but I do want to chromecast it to my TV! Right now I get the same lag chromecasting it.

On my old device (same network) and even tethered to my M8 using hotspot netflix is fine.

Right now my chromecast is rather worthless.... I wish netflix would get off their asses and release a fix, it shouldn't be that hard to do. Maybe I'll just cancel my subscription.

But see I don't have a smart tv everywhere I go, that's why I want to be able to use my chromecast from my phone or tablet, but the audio lag is on both.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzontra.nikola:
Hey all,

My nexus 5 is keep unlocking itself while it's in my pocket, and doing random things like calling people, opening apps etc.

I set the pattern lock, and it helped, but from time to time I still see that screen is awake when I pick phone from pocket, sometimes it's in emergency call... Is there a "pocket mode" or something that I turned on or what's up with my phone? :P

Anyone else experiencing similar thing?

I hate pattern lock thing as well, but I saw that as only solution to a problem that I had.:(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.eXntriK:
HA..ha.ha.. Happens to me all the time. But in my case it happens only when i get a call while the phone is in the pocket. Not only does the call get rejected or accepted, but it also unlocks the phone, opens a plethora of apps and then goes back to sleep.

Now, the solution

Do you use a case? If yes, is the power button covered by the case? If yes, then you can either change your case or cut the case around the power button.

If you don't use a case, make sure your power button is not messed up! or you might have to replace the button (THE CERAMIC ONE)

Good luck let us know how it goes
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzontra.nikola:
Thanks for your quick answer.

I do not use case yet, looking for one these days for sure. The phone is new so I don't think that button should be replaced, it's working just fine from what I can tell. Guess that i'll have to stick with pattern and to see if some nice case can help with this problem as well.

Thank you once again.
