[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Hey All.

My test methods: I have a Nokia Lumia 928 for work I'm able to keep side by side with my M8. I also have a family member with an iPhone 5s. Both phones on Verizon of course. Keep in mind, this is months of sporadic testing I've been able to compare the three phones side by side.

In weaker LTE signal areas, I noticed the iPhone and the Lumia keep LTE where the M8 would revert to 3G.

Situation 1) I was in a building last week where the iPhone 5s had 1 bar of LTE and was working. Side-by-Side, my M8 would never grab the LTE signal even after toggling airplane mode. Case or no case, had the same outcome.

I've had the M8 side by side with the iPhone 5s/Lumia 928 with a 1 or 2 bars and the M8 actually got faster speeds.

Here's what I'm thinking...

A) The M8 radio is comparable to the Nokia or iPhone, however the M8 reverts down to 3G within a shorter time span. The moment the Lumia/iPhone looses LTE, it puts it in a frozen state for a little while longer to see if it will recapture LTE again.

B) The Lumia/iPhone have a different signal tolerance than the M8. For example: The M8 is programmed to cut back to 3G at around -120 dbm (just a random number throwing out there, may not be -120 but it's an example) on LTE. I am not able to measure signal numbers on the Lumia or iPhone, maybe those are -130 dbm or so. This would explain "Situation 1" above.

For example, "B" could explain if all phones were at -120dbm signal, the M8 could still achieve same speeds as other phones.

Scenarios "A" and "B" could both hold true. I have seen a time where the Lumia/iPhones were at 1 Bar and data was a hit and miss.

I'd rather the HTC M8 keep a non-existent LTE signal for a couple of seconds longer instead of reverting down to 3G and sometimes wait minutes before the LTE scan timer grabs another signal.

I've had the M7 and M8 on Sprint before coming to Verizon. Unfortunately I saw the same issues and don't think it's isolated to my phone. Verizon having the 700MHz spectrum is night and day compared to Sprints 1900MHz: I keep LTE a lot better on Verizon.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harmos123:
Hey guys,

I just got my M8 and I'm noticing much dust between the black chrome ring,which surrounds the speakergrills and the display.

Even if I clean it,it doesnt take too much time to get dirty again. It looks like its a gap between the chrome ring and the display?

Is this normal or should I return my phone cause of that gap? I notice it exp. when looking at it from a certain angle in the sun.

Thanks in advance for your replys

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] H0rn3t920:
Hey guys.

Used the HTC All in one toolkit and rooted, installed TWRP, and a new rom on my device. I want to S-off but since my phone is brand new it doesnt seem to work. (This will never work on your phone stop trying - error with firewater) I used the Perm Root method on the All-in-one toolkit but everytime i reboot my device i lose root and need to wait for it to come back up (2-3 Min after bootup). This means its not permanent correct? Maybe this is why firewater is not working?

Another really weird thing, when i reboot with adb reboot, the phone takes literally like 10-15 minutes to power on. What is that about?

TWRP seems as it is permanent, and on the bootloader it says tampered and unlocked with s-on.

Im kinda confused here, I came from a nexus 4 so im not used to things not working.

SOOOOOOO..

(Q) Can someone give me an overview of what is going on so i can go in the right direction? should i unroot to stock and try again? Why would it give me a TEMP root if i used the permanent root method of flashing SuperSU in recovery? If i switch roms, is the perm root method removed?

Thanks in advance guys!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If you flashed a custom ROM, they are already rooted. So if you also flashed SuperSU in addition, you might have some conflict, such as a built-in SU conflicting with the SuperSU you flashed.

I would re-flash the ROM (you can probably "dirty" flash and keep user data, just wipe cache and Dalvik), don't flash any separate SuperSU or SU, and see if the problem persists.

The long boot problem is a known issue if you flashed a 2.xx based ROM (Android 4.4.3) but your phone is still on older firmware (hboot, radio, etc.). You might also experience some other significant bugs like broken WiFi or Bluetooth.

Firewater s-off has been patched for some time now, but Sunshine S-off should work (but costs $25).

You will need s-off to manually update firmware. But the alternative is to return to stock ROM and recovery, accept your latest OTA, which will install the new firmware.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] H0rn3t920:
Thanks for the speedy response.

I flashed the insertcoin rom. It was supposed to root with that (Chose SuperSU on aroma install) but no SuperSU was installed. It seemed like insert coin was a little buggy. So i installed the SuperSU with perm root option on all-in-one toolkit. And SuperSU was giving me errors of not being supported and need to update through recovery, it wasnt updating. Wiped, Reflashed insertcoin, this time SuperSU installed on the device, tried s-off with firewater and didnt work. Then i did a full wipe again.

This time I flashed M8Rx.v2 and seems like a solid running rom - Minus the fact that Wifi is broken. (It said use a specific kernel if on 1.58 firmware, but my phone came with 2.xx, maybe it went down to 1.58 with insertcoin) Came with SuperSU however now it doesn't have permanent root (I have not done perm root on all-in-one after wiping and flashing M8Rx.v2).

I have read that perm root may not work unless s-off. Is this true?

Also - Worth noting that when i was stock, there was no OTA available. i was on build 2.xx and now with M8rx.v2 im on build 1.58.502.1.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
No, that is completely false.

How are you determining root or no root?

For Insertcoin, you won't see SuperSU or SU in the app drawer. Its in the Settings>InsertCoin. If not having SuperSU in the app drawer is solely what led you to believe you weren't rooted, I think you may have just been confused about it and were rooted all along.

I don't know about M8Rx, as I've never used it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] H0rn3t920:
That was part of it, the other part was when using firewater, i would get no superuser prompts. That is a good piece of info though, thanks!

So how would i go about doing a permanent root and s-off? should i go back to stock and use the 25$ method or should i keep my rom and custom recovery and then do it? Mainly im curious about the permanent root as i have done what i should have for a permanent root and its not permanent. So I dont really understand what to do here.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I think you are perm rooted already. Not getting SU prompt in firewater is likely a different issue.

Make sure debugging is activated. Also, firewater doesn't work with some custom ROMs, not sure about InsertCoin. But you might try a different ROM.

Firewater was patched some time ago, and doesn't work for most M8's at this point. As your device was updated to the 2.xx software, firewater likely won't work. But you should at least get to the "whelp" error message from firewater before concluding that it won't work on your device.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] H0rn3t920:
I did get the whelp message...

My confusion here is if i am perm rooted, why do i lose root on a reboot? All my xposed modules stop working, says version 58 has been installed but only found version 47. I hit install/update, superuser permissions granted and it immedietely says version 58 is found. I need to then soft reboot in order for all modules to activate.

Now its saying SuperSU is having issues updating the binaries. I flash the binaries in TWRP and then after the phone boots, it says the same thing again, to update binaries. I want to get into SuperSU to unroot and then flash SuperSU again in TWRP to see if that works, but i can not get around the update binaries screen. If i hit cancel, app closes.

EDIT: So i updated binaries, and i didnt get the update notification anymore. Got into the app, unrooted, then reinstalled supersu from TWRP, and then installed SuperSU from app store. Asked to update binaries, did it. Enabled SU at boot in SuperSU Settings. Still exactly the same. Even though xposed is granted superuser permissions, i need to go into the app and tinker with it before its auto granted and version 58 of xposed is seen.

I also tried in SuperSU Settings to write to system but it doesnt seem to work.

What am i missing here!?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Did you try to flash the ROM again, and this time

not

do anything additional to root (aside from the AROMA selection of SU/SuperSU), like I suggested back in Post #2?

I think something with the toolkit or flashing SU otherwise is messing with the built-in root.

I'm on InsertCoin, and have never had any issues with root.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] H0rn3t920:
Thats how i did it to begin with on all my roms that i flashed. Only went and flashed the SuperSU after I realized that the rom itself didnt give a permanent root.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] H0rn3t920:
So I wiped the phone fully like 4-5 times before flashing M8Rx.v2 and everything is working super smooth and beautiful now. Thank you to redpoint73 and his help!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Odd, all I can think is that the AROMA option to select SU/SuperSU is a little buggy.

Looks like persistence (or at least vigorous wiping) was the key!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJusticeMaker:
Hello,

I have recently purchased a Galaxy s5 in USA.

It's a unlocked version and I just noticed that I get an error that says "SIM Card is from an unknown source",

Even though my SIM works fine I still get that error, probably because its Verizon's version.

Now my question is how do I fix it ? I read around and it seems like I have to change the name of the following app?

"vzwphoneservice.apk" to "vzwphoneservice.apk.bak"

-Located at System/priv-app ?

Now I tried finding this specific file and I couldn't.

However, I have another file named VZWAPNService.apk but once I try to change the name of it I get an error that says "Access Denied"

Thank you.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
You have to root the device to do this.

If your device has been rooted, you should grant root permission for the file explorer app that you used to rename the system file.

yeah ofcurse.

Did you grant root permission for the app?

You can use ES File Explorer app, open Menu > Tools > Root Explorer = ON, then try again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJusticeMaker:
I'm able to edit it with ES Fie explorer now but like I said I can't find the following file :

"vzwphoneservice.apk"

I tried changing the other files names I got here but (all the ones that start with VZ) but nothing helped so I changed their names back..

any idea what file is it ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Can you show the screenshot when you get that error message?

In order to get to know this error message comes from what app, try the following:

Install Shortcut Master app, open Menu > Capture Shortcut > Manually Capture. When the error message is being shown, scroll down the notification bar, tap on the 'Capture Shortcut' and show me what you get?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJusticeMaker:
Hello, so I tried using shorcut master like you suggested.. I couldn't really find the information you wanted..

But here's a screenshot of that notification : http://i.hizliresim.com/R6oq9R.png

However, I found out that it has something to do with "setup wizard", I clicked on "force stop" (once you hold your finger on that notification you can click app info, then it takes you to setup wizard)

AND suddenly, this notification disappeared but I also found out that it'll pop up again on my notifications once I restart my phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJusticeMaker:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Can you show the screenshot when you click on "App info"?

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

OK I've found this workaround. Hope this help.

- Install App Disabler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nebkat.appdisabler

- Run the app and find the list for Verizon Setup Wizard. Disable that app.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJusticeMaker:
Thank you so much, it worked =)

But just out of curiosity, there's nothing to be worried about right? I don't want to see that some feature in my phone got disabled because of that.

All I want is to get rid of this message and that's it, its perfect.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
I'm not sure, but this method has been reported working fine. Anyway it is more safer than renaming the file, as you wanted to do. And you can always enable it again if need.

Just curiously, is your phone fully unlocked?

Can you install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > scroll down to 7465625 and tap to launch?

(7465625 is a secret code for checking SIM LOCK).

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJusticeMaker:
I guess it is, I bought it in USA like I said.. I'm not from US.

I inserted my SIM and I'm able to call whoever I want like I could in my previous phone.

About this app, what I'm supposed to do exactly? I clicked on launch and nothing really happened :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
You need ROOT permission to launch the secret code.
