Bump. Still looking for answer to this. I have RUU'ed both to Sense and Google Phone editions and the problem still persists, the phone does not detect its connected to a computer and change to mtp accordingly. Only way I was able to get the RUU in there was through fastboot, which is again the only time I can access the phone through usb. Adb is no luck in either android or recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Have you tried revoking the USB debugging authorization and then accepting the RSA fingerprint key again when connecting to PC?

Obviously it can't be an USB cable problem if you can connect to it in bootloader mode and use fastboot commands. :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art2Fly:
To clarify, the phone just charges when connected, it does not detect that it is connected to PC so debugging doesn't even trigger, neither does mtp. I don't even get the slow charging notification
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Does it do the same when you plug it in and reboot the computer to "pick up" during boot up process? Or if you run a live CD? I never had an issue like that with my phone but I did have a similar problem with the USB external blu ray drive I bought some time ago. The pc just didn't detect it at all not on any of the ports until I rebooted my PC with the drive already plugged it and for some reason it picked it up. <Not a solution as I don't know what caused it to not be detected in the first place but still...

Not sure if it's an issue with the device(Phone for you, blu ray drive for me) or if it's a problem with the PC even though other things might still work for you as it definitely did for me(phone, headset, mouse, keyboard, usb extender + all the external hard-drives connected to it)...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneiderm3709:
I accidentally bought a fake GS5 like is shown in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lc6dQb5cF8 There are many things wrong with it.There is a model number mismatch on the hardware and software, the hardware is European(ms-g900f, the software is for the Chinese unicom version(sm-g9006v). The recovery is chinese and has no download mode. It won't get LTE, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work, it's very laggy, the flash for the camera is different, and the screen is loose on the corners. Also, the back is cheap plastic instead of faux leather like the real one. I know I got screwed over, since the seller has since blocked me from his phone number. Am I just completely out the money, or is there anything I can do to make this a decent phone again? Is there any market to be able to resell it? Thanks. If you need any more information about it let me know!

When you buying Samsung I would recommend to try it with http://www.imei.info/ or take laptop with you and connect to KIES or run download mode. No download mode or no knox = not Samsung.

[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
There are several apps on the market and some more than I've side loaded on other phones that can lock your phone into 4g only, 3g only, gsm only etc. The most recent one was advanced signal status on my galaxy S4. However, I haven't found one that works on my G3. Advanced signal status works until you select phone information and then I get a pop up that says "this application does not work on this device" In my town and at work, I know there is a 4G signal (even though at times it is weak) but the phone likes to revert back to 3g more often than I am happy with. (my galaxy did this too...but not at the rate the G3 is). I'd like to force it into LTE only mode at times but it's not an option unless I find an app that works. My only recourse right now is putting into airplane mode and then turning airplane mode off. It will revert back to 4g when doing this....but no guarantee how long it will keep 4g before switching again.

When you connect the charger when the phone is off. The phone will power on again

But not completely. You will see battery logo that mean the phone is charging. Leave it and you will see the screen turned off . press the power button it will light up again

If the screen didn't turned on while you plug the phone when it's off so that mean it's NOT charging and that can be called a PROBLEM

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Banger_AK:
So I have a XZU_GPe that I used unmodified for about 4 months. There was nothing interesting going on with it. Although I did have the device encrypted as a requirement to get my corporate mail on it. Then last month I decided to start tinkering with it. I unlocked the bootloader via the Sony website (sadly without backing up the TA partition) and flashed the CandyKat ROM from the forums. It took much better advantage of the hardware than the stock Android did and I was pretty happy with it save for a few minor bugs. Then after running that ROM for two weeks, I decided to add my corporate account back on and encrypt the phone. The phone became unusable after. It worked fine after being powered on, but several minutes after the screen locked, it would power off. The only way I was able to get it back on was to connect a UBS or Power cable and hold down the power button for a long time. Basically anytime I shoved it in my pocket it powered off.

I promptly flashed Cyanogen and ended up with a working phone again. Two days after, I tried adding the corporate account again. The phone seemed to work perfectly fine for a day, then started behaving strangely again. Now, the phone goes dark anytime it isn't plugged into power and locks. However, I can power it back on at anytime by holding down the powerbutton for a long time (no cable needed!) I could wipe the phone and start over with a fresh Cyanogen install, however, I'd really like to get my work email on the phone and can't figure out why it's behaving badly. At this point I am not even really sure where I should be looking.

Any help appreciated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
I wouldn't run a custom rom if I needed to use encryption. The stock rom would probably be serving you well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Banger_AK:
If push comes to shove I'd rather skip the corporate email and actually be able to do things with my phone. I tried just rooting the stock ROM, but it proved as resilient as it was ugly. The "security" built into the newest Android versions kills me. I have an SD card that has moved through 4 phones so far and has all my photos and other important data on it. Being forced into saving everything "to the cloud" or losing it when my phone dies has sent me down this path.

Thank you for the response.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I really have no knowledge of encryption for email security, so am just taking a stab in the dark here. Would installing a remote desktop app that would access your home pc work? That is assuming you have one with your work account set up.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Visa Declined:
In my opinion, people who make custom roms test them for stability as much as possible, but them going as far as to test them while encrypted is not very likely.

IMO these Xperia phones are temperamental anyways, I'm on my third, and all of them have been buggy. I had to ship my Ultra back to Expansys yesterday because it wouldn't quit freezing/rebooting.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Easy to root, just follow the guide that is stickied.

I feel the best bet for working encryption is Stock or maybe CM, I know I've not tested it on the Carbon builds
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bushako:
IMO most stable aosp ROM I found for Xperia is the ported GPE 4.4.4 rom. Not a single bug for me and if I were you I'd start there.

The OP is using a GPe device, and installing ROMs intended for the Z Ultra not sold by Google will not work. Going back to stock for the OP is the same as us installing the port of the GPe Stock ROM.

Hi all; I have a soft bricked Nexus 4. I need a way to save it without wiping the files. I have an audio file I need to rescue from the phone. All online solutions I have found so far assume that I can access the phone features/settings (I can't) or that I can remove the battery (I can't - it's a Nexus 4).

B) unbrick the phone without losing data

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryonic:
I've just bought a new Sim-Free HTC M8 in the UK from a new comany called Expedite Electronics

Now, I knew they were up to something as they were significantly cheaper than pretty much everyone else and they required a week or so for delivery. From ordering through to receiving the device I could not complain with the service. While they did take 5 days I was kept up to date, and I read numerous good reports on the web saying they delivered EMEA specced devices.

However, when mine arrived I noticed it was the Asia model due to Chinese symbols on the box and on the quick start instructions. I'm not against grey market importing per se, but my main concern was the slightly different LTE bands between the UK and Asia. Expedite Electronics's website list the EMEA frequencies as supported but the box the phone arrived in listed the Asia ones.

However, this is where my confusions beings

1) The phone defaulted to English (UK)

2) Here in Manchester I have a 4G signal.

I suppose it is possible I'm lucky in that my network Three UK use the common 1800mhz (e.g. used in Asia and the EMEA) model but I was lead to believe the UK mostly uses 800mhz for LTE

Also when trying to apply the latest software updates OTA it tells me I cannot as the system software has been modified. This is supposed to be a stock HTC One M8 - I have not rooted or in any other way amended the system software myself.

So, my question is

1) How can I tell if I have a EMEA or Asia hardware device?

2) Is it possible Expidite Electronics have somehow forced a UK/EMEA ROM / Radio firmware onto a Asian device?

3) How can I work out exacly what is going on?

Apologies for the lack of detail here but I'm not currently into custom ROMs etc so I don't know a lot of what I should be asking - I'm just trying to get to the bottom of exatly what I've bought! (and how to get OTA software updates working)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryonic:

From what I can see my searching XDA for thsese figures these are exactly what you would expect for a stock SIM-Free EMEA HTC M8. I really think that Expedite Electronics buy the cheaper Asian models on the M8, then flash them with EMEA ROM and baseband etc to make a stock EU one. It's even S-ON!

Try and restore a nandroid backup for the device and see if it does the OTAs like it should.

COLLECTION of Stock backup's

Though I see the MID is for Australasia region, maybe the x.xx.707.x but that won't explain why it has the x.xx.401.x on it now.

If after a restore it still doesn't update then maybe it's time to look into gaining S-OFF and converting your device completely.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryonic:
The problem is exactly that - the people I bought the phone off have supplied a Asia Model (e.g. modelid: 0P6B11000) but they have somehow loaded a EMEA ROM onto it (e.g. version-main: 1.54.401.5)

So, my options now are:

1) Try and maunally load the OTA update onto the device (it's offering me 1.54.401.10) - somehow

2) Or, attempt to gain S-OFF and change the MID to 0P6B10000 (so it looks like a UK model)

I'll investigate using NANDROID to perform 1
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrubz:
The cid being set to 11111111 won't stop the update, but a modified build.prop will. With a modified build.prop it will get about a quarter of the way through the update then exit.

Restoring from a 1.54.401.5 nandroid should fix the problem.

Wondering if any of you guys have had the Gear 2 before purchasing the Moto 360.

I'm interested in the round screen as well as Android Wear. But I'm not able to really find any reviews of someone who has really used both devices day in and day out.

I've have Pebble, loved it! But never put it back on after the Gear 2 purchase. I don't think Tizen is a lost cause, I see new apps coming out all the time. But, I think maybe Android Wear is the way to go, for the long haul.

So, has anyone used both devices for some period of time?

Thanks!
[Moto 360] slaydog:
I have used both, and I liked the Gear 2 better. The software is just much more functional, and battery life is great.

Also, the Gear 2 had some neat features that the 360 didn't have (camera, speaker, IR blaster to control all of your audio/video equipment etc...).

I still think Android Wear will be the way to go, but for now it's not as useful as the Gear IMHO...
[Moto 360] kronium:
I had the 360 and went to the Gear 2. It is a much better and refined watch in my opinion. The Speaker, Amoled screen as well as the Android like Tizen, provide a pleasant experience for me. And the incredible battery life, wow! Doing chores around my house while waiting to talk to a customer support agent on my watch is such a revolutionary thing for me as well.
[Moto 360] bubblebuddyi:
I had the opposite experience.

Camera function is useless on Gear 2.

You can't feel the vibration when you're doing anything with your hands using the G2.

Never bothered to use the IR because the OS on the G2 is clunky and slow.

I do miss the speaker option because you can take calls.

And battery life.

App support for the G2 is AWFUL.

S-Voice is horrible and slow.

G2 is much heavier, but the band is better (debatable).

I can go on for days, but I only had the 360 for almost 24hrs now so I'm still getting used to it.
