[LG G Flex] jacktackle:
Lot of us root our 4.2.2 and flashed a freedom recovery and were very happy until we come to know the fact that we cannot update to Kitkat any more.

some successfully flashed the KDZ in a normal flash way but others were the victims of CDC serial driver.

that was the HISTORY

Lets catch the ear from the other way round.

this is a TOT flash method which says bye bye to cdc driver

i'm going to share the link of the guy who did all the hard work i'm only the contributing some of my efforts here.

the link

http://www.lgbbs.net/thread-3-1-1.html

this link will give a detail tutorial. if you allready flashed all the drivers, do not do it again.

you can download the TOT file from here

https://mega.co.nz/#!7wBnkCKR!zT19XISIhlrP3-ZN24TF5RFeFVOt1vOlOHdPl-lYE4o

DLL file is attached in the post.

LG Flashtool 2014 sometimes becomes headache to find on the net. good news! file attached :) follow the installing instructions

https://www.dropbox.com/s/da13ysxmhikxpdc/LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.zip?dl=0

those unfortunate you can't get into download mode, somehow have to fix that first. no download mode, no flash.

Happy flashing guys of D958 varient.

ENJOY KITKAT

other varients who are struggling with 4.2.2 JB, try and get your TOT file

it should be something like this. cut past the file link in google and see if you can find your download

there is no good download mode or bad download mode. simply download mode :P

switch off the mobile, keep volume up pressed and put the usb cable untill download mode appears.

Why couldn't you take updates? Is it just the D958?
[LG G Flex] mzakapps:
please re share tot file
[LG G Flex] cercelcremene:
Hi, I am happy to see that discussions about Flex are not dead! I am one of the unfortunate guys who have got no more download, no more recovery. I understood that the only way to fix it is to force the phone into an almost-bricked state by shorting some pins, then to deal directly within the internal sdcard. Is there anybody who can teach me WHAT to short? A photo with be great.

i have window mobile 5 aku 2 rom installed...i do want to know how should i change pop up tone which appears when i send text message the pop up appears from Top just below network signal !!it shows me that ur last text message cost bla-bla amount (indian rupee 1)...really its very annoying becasue!!the tone which comes is notify.wav it always annoying after every message!!there is no option to set tone of this popup in sound&notication settings!!even i didnt see any registry till now!!

main thing is it has disavantage too even i just disable every sound !!i mean if my phone sound profile is switched off..and when i send text meassage the pop appears as usual but it plays sound also..the sound of this popup doesnt switched... i want this pop up should appear but i want to change the tone of this popup!!

pls if anyone can help me to change tone of this pop up through registry pls let me know i will b highly obliged and thankful to everyone!!

instead of notify.wav i do want to put any soft tone which should b very soft and cool!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
Easy way would be to overwriting this file with your very own. use totall commander to overwrite this file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] prishiin:
which file should i overwrite!! u didnt understand my probs just read wat i wrote in ma topic!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
u didnt understand my sols just read wat i wrote in ma post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] prishiin:
but which file you are saying me to owerwrite just let me know!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] XSIVSPD:
you need to figure out which file makes the pop-up noise, then just make a wav file of whatever you want with the same name and put in the same folder (prolly the "windows" folder) so that it overrights the old file with that name and you should be set....really not that hard..

::EDIT:: you even already know the name of the file...Notify.wav
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
You may need to talk louder. I think he has hearing problem (note the !! at every sentence). You need to talk to him like this:

prishiin!!

How many files do you think 'this file' refers to!! How many files have been mentioned in this entire thread!! What possibly 'this file' can be refering to!! When you don't understand the suggestions, try to think!! Instead of using your limited brain power to think that others don't understand your problem!! Save it to think about the suggestions!! Ok!!

Do you need me to tell you which phone you need to replace this file!!

Hint: Don't do that on your house land-line phone!!

And, get yourself a hearing aid!!

And do not multi-post!! It irritates others!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] XSIVSPD:
lol, as funny as that was....dont be too mean..you have to remember theres a language barrier here (since it seems to be charging him in rupees im assuming hes in india) so maybe hes not as dumb as he comes across.... just a thought
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] prishiin:
you are a senior member and u dont know how to behave!!its shame on you buddy!!!you are such a mean guy!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] prishiin:
i understand what u mean to say bro but the problem is i cant overwrite another tone file with same name in /windows folder because (/windows)its rom and notify.wav is in rom /windows folder nor it can be deleted nor it can b overwrite!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] imisim:
Yes you can. However, you'll need to get a better file manager such as Resco Explorer. The built-in file explorer can't do it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] prishiin:
thanks let me try thru resco explorer
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
for your case!! you mean all noobs have the right to be mean!! thats why you are so mean!!

btw!! as for the problem of overwriting the file!! it is in my very first post!! suggesting you to use total commander to do the job!! everything is in the first post if you were to just put a bit more effort!!
[LG G Flex] jeyml:
Hello my dear XDA people. I finaly bought a few weeks back the LG G Flex and i am just amazed by it, i wanted i big phone so i can do my jobs on it and with a good battery life that other phones (especialy the Iphones) did not provided. I liked the battery life on it but found an app on play store called DU Battery Saver. I installed that app and found an option when you charge your phone called Trickle Charge, of course i didn't read what i does but after i had read the "Q&A" i still don't understand it. But after i have charged my phone with that option i am using for 3 days (light>medium use of the phone) and still have 50% of my battery? Did i just messed up my battery? I mean..is it a chance that i overcharged my battery and at the next charge will it just die after a few hours?

PS: I also use tasker and kill the blutooth,wifi,data and rotation at night..but i don't think that saves up so much battery.

I know it might sound like a ridiculous question but i am a bit worried now after using this app,maybe other people arround here used it and can explain what that Trickle Charge actualy does.

Thank you.
[One (M8) General] KarimSalloum:
I've got to hand it to HTC. I used to change my phone every 2-3 months tops, getting bored with every offering out there. I've had all the flagships one can imagine, yet I haven't changed my phone for the past 6 months now, and what's worse, I don't think I will change it before the 'M9' comes out. The M8 is simply the best device I've ever owned bar none. Build, usability, reliability, the list goes on and on..... Even the slight curve on the back of the device allows for incredible handling. It's like they've mastered every detail. Negatives? like everything in life, yeah. The power button is on top and not on the side and is hard to reach. The battery life could be better. The bezels could be thinner. The finishing (loose volume rockers, sim trays, etc) could be better on some devices. But these are issues available (along with a catalog of others) on MANY if not all other devices. I bought a Z3 a few weeks back and it didn't last a few days before I sent it packing. The only thing about that device was the battery life, it was unbelievable. But the ageing M8 still trumps it overall.

Am I the only one addicted to the M8?
[One (M8) General] Chris_c81:
One man's negative is another man's positive. Hated the power button on the side of my Note II. Always inadvertently hitting it putting screen to sleep. Much prefer on top.

Otherwise agreed. Hands down best android handset I've owned to date.
[One (M8) General] tmlrem:
Powerbutton? Who needs power button? Just Double tap the screen ??
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Actually a feature that I(Personally) am not to thrilled about. It's a great idea but it's overly sensitive, if you clean the screen the screen comes on and you delete an app on homescreen or place hangouts into a grouped folder with whatever else. Removes the clock widget...just does random nonsense because for reason cleaning the screen(Without lifting your hand) equates "double tapping". It started to annoy the hell out of me until I eventually disabled it.

Using the power button is only a fraction of a second longer and makes no real difference, especially if you constantly need to double tap when you actually need it in order to unlock the phone or... turn it a bit sideways first in order to get out of hibernation so taht the sensors work correctly in order to wake on tap. Annoying as hell, for me personally, it's a great idea gone awfully wrong pretty quickly.

Other than that, I have no issues with the phone really(Camera is a given but I don't use camera often so...) and I'm very happy months after receiving it.
[One (M8) General] fix-this!:
i dunno, i had a at&t m8 over the summer and i loved it. now that i have the tmobile variant it just seems buggy as hell to me. gonna hold onto it until the m9 comes.
[One (M8) General] kbs3020:
no need to use the top power button.

install any screen lock application, I personally use screen lock by Katecca, it works great, simple efficient coding. You can power of the screen using the gesture that opens google search. slide from the home button navbar towards the top. Good luck.
[One (M8) General] theandies:
Agree, I use the app Screen Off. Does the same thing and adds some cool looking animations when you turn your screen off. I get a lot of "WOW that was cool, how'd you do that" comments when my friends see it in action. I rarely use my power button now but I like the location because my Vivid's was in the same place. I agree that the double tap to unlock is a bit sensitive but I still use and like it a lot.

I've still not found that very annoying thing about this phone and I don't think I will since I've had it for 3 months now. This phone rocks
[One (M8) General] Darth:
Lol just hold the phone anyway except upright in portrait when you clean it. Screen will not come on. ?

Dt2w only is active in portrait upright position. Took me a bit too to think of that when cleaning the screen.
[One (M8) General] popoyaya:
This is even cooler if you use Nova launcher as you can set it to turn off the screen by double tapping anywhere on your homescreen. Saves having to scroll to find the icon. And yes the CRT-off animation is cool.
[One (M8) General] theandies:
I tried NOVA on my old phone and didn't really get into it.

Don't need to scroll to find the icon just swipe up from the home button up. :good:

I like the zoom out animation. I used CRT off too and is another favorite but I switch it about once a week.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
It actually opened screen when it was lying flat on back, but anyways. Appreciate the tip but I'll hold off on that DT2UL for now. Like I said, pressing the power button isn't an effort at all it's rather fast and easy so...

I'm sure they'll improve more and more on those double tap to unlock but it's not something that I'm too concerned with myself. :good: :highfive:
[One (M8) General] popoyaya:
It's a very handy feature IMO and saves wearing out the power button. Also ScreenOff app to lock the phone.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
That's true of course. I just don't know about constantly tapping the screen, won't that also inevitably cause some issues with the touch screen? All that constant "shock" to the screen?

I actually think the Dot View case is better in that regard. It uses a magnet to unlock the screen. The magnet is in all the HTC one M8 phones so why can't all the flip covers at least have a magnet in place to automatically unlock the device once the cover is opened? Much more simpler, no more hitting power button to unlock, no more tapping screen to unlock.

Of course it'll be a different story for people that don't have flip covers for their phones but still.

I only use the power button to "wake" the device when needed, I usually just put it one side and let it lock/sleep on its own. So at least I'm "halfing" my use of the power button :eek: :silly:
[One (M8) General] MegaMettaurX@gmail.com:
I might be one of the few who doesn't mind the power button being on the top. but i have long fingers. At least they put it on the right side this time. Also Please dear lord, don't make those bezels smaller. It's hard enough as it is with these thin as hell bezels. I'll say this is a trend I'm gonna hate in 2015.
[One (M8) General] KarimSalloum:
What's 'hard' with the thin bezels? It makes the footprint of the phone smaller. The only downside I could see is that it might be easier to shatter the screen if it's too close to the edges. But I'd take that for a smaller device.

As for DT2W being a replacement to the power button........ No Thanks. I don't like that feature one bit. First of all, it's a battery drain. The panel is always 'on' and waiting for input from the user. Secondly, it's way too sensitive. I constantly used to find the screen on when I carry my phone.

It takes literally a tenth of a second to push the power button. No need for tapping the screen. Just put it on the side next time please! Even Apple got it right with the iPhone 6 because they know it's too big to have a button on top, it's out of reach. Come on HTC, I'm sitting here saying you SHOULD COPY APPLE. That's how BAD I want this:)
[One (M8) General] Darth:
Dt2w is not a battery drain on phones that designed the system to run it, like the M8 and G2. Yes, it's a huge drain on devices that the features been cooked into the kernel, like the N5, by our awesome devs here.

Anyway, I usually get 8 hours+ screen time with my setup and usage... And I've tried disabling Dt2w and the rest, not noticeable difference in battery life.

Not for me anyway. ?
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
Yep M8 like G2, OPO, iPhone have an extra processor to handle motion gestures etc, so there won't be any real extra drain on battery.
[One (M8) General] KarimSalloum:
8 hours on the M8??? I usually have 4, or maximum 5 hours if I set the brightness at around 25-30%. I know it's offtopic but a few tips would be appreciated to boost battery life!
[One (M8) General] Darth:
Look at this page on a browser and go the the battery help thread in my signature. Post 2.

If you want help there, see post 1 and 4 and post the recommended screen shots. Lots of help there.

It's an N5 thread, but that's fine, just mention you have an M8.

I do everything from post 2. But my usage versus yours could be very different. So screen time will always vary. ?

My average screen time in Gsam at the bottom is well over 8 hours... 22total.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

5 hours could be completely normal for you depending on your usage.
[One (M8) General] MegaMettaurX@gmail.com:
The smaller bezels make it harder for me to type, and even harder to hit the edges of the screen. I use a case to protect my device. I don't drop my phone or anything, but there's always a chance of it sliding out my jacket pocket. The edges of the display are no man's land.
[One (M8) General] fix-this!:
The only thing i want the m9 to have is better radio antennas and a larger battery. Those are my only 2 gripes about the m8.

Waiting to see what L does for this phone and wether or not i get a oneplus one or keep my m8 until the m9 hits.
[One (M8) General] :
With not a single complaint with the M8 and 8 hours screen time consistently.... I'll be using this phone a couple years easy. ?
[One (M8) General] tclocki:
Everything the m8 has and does is perfect for me. Sure the power button could be placed better but yeah double tapping and greenify to lock the screen is a nice combo for me so its not an issue really.

The only thing i wish the m9 would have is a better camera, not just higher mp count. Imagine the iphone 6's camera in the m9, should kill all the other flagships out there. I just hope htc doesnt join the quadhd bandwagon as 1080p i think is the best resolution for 4-5" displays. Anything more than that is overkill and could potentially affect the smoothness of the experience overall.
[One (M8) General] croppz:
I love my M8. However as with any device it could use improvements. Better camera is number 1 on the list. I have no idea why HTC can't put out a decent camera considering the tech out there right now. Last good camera I had from HTC was on my old Droid DNA.
[One (M8) General] dxwilliams40:
I picked up a G3 back in July, but it's collecting dust right now. I can't stay away from the M8. I'm running GPE right now and it's like a new phone.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
+1

Couldn't say this any better. M8 will be the first smartphone that I'm going to keep for a long time.
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
i've had the phone for a month and no gripes so far.... battery life is amazing (considering i was using the one x :p) My only concern is that i want to use the phone without any case, however the metal body seems to be prone to scratches! I might get the gadgetshield body guard to minimise any scratches.

I dont see myself changing my phone for atleast 2 yrs...
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
I'm the same, it seems a shame to have such a high end, premium feel/look device and put it in a case, but its either that or run the risk of scratches dents, etc. I bought the below case, which was really cheap but good quality and completely transparent so you can still appreciate the finish and even the chamfered edges which are very shiny. Plus you can also take it off easily if you want to feel the metal again. :silly:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56243158&postcount=312
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
wow its looks impressive.... thanks for the tip... i'll get my hands on one from my local online store :) Is this hard plastic case or the flexible jelly body?

yea and the case that came along with the m8 really sucks...:silly:
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
No worries, its really very slim and quite firm, I was after one of the hard clear cases but it didnt turn up, ordered this one and its exactly what Ive been looking for. Its not too rubbery either but has enough grip compared to the naked phone itself. I was using the one which came with my M8 and it was ok for a while, then the headphone/usb plug flap started sticking out which was a bit annoying.
[One (M8) General] AarSyl:
I really enjoy this phone. A lot. It suits me quite perfectly. Double tap up wake and swipe to unlock is definitely a win for me.

Just a side note, if the phone is held upside down (power button facing you), the motion launch features won't work. Makes cleaning the phone a lot easier.
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
nice tip... lol
[One (M8) General] Kindatired:
I have had more phones than I can count, after the One X I swore off HTC, but due to a mishap with my last Nexus I figured I would give HTC another try. I have to admit, this is the best phone I have had.

I don't use the camera much. 95% of my phone use is music, texting and browsing, but just the user experience is way better than every other phone in have used.

Any non-nexus phone I have used, I normally end up switching to an aosp rom, but I haven't even bothered to look away from sense 6. I think that says something.
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
This phone is just amazing period and I am addicted that's all.
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
im so much with you on this one.... after the one x and with htc quoting no more updates after Jelly bean, i swore never to buy htc again... but i dont know what happened to me and thought i will give them another chance and i have never regreted my decision till date... Usage pattern is also exactly the same as yours :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] applican:
Hey there,

I recently had a problem with my Xperia Z3Compact, though the solution I found might not be device specific. It's orientation sensor didn't work properly:

- It didn't change back from landscape to portrait mode

- Some photos taken were turned upside down

Here my solution so others maybe can profit:

Using sensoring tools, i managed to find out that the device reported to be flipped 180degrees (On its y-axis/tilt back and forth). Recalibrating the sensors with any apps I tested did not work.

Research showed, that the sensor orientation can be changed in the following file: /etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf; changing any values didn't take any affect though.

From some link I am not allowed to post here because I didn't post much yet, I learned that removing the following file lets android reconfigure/recalibrate its sensors according to the config-file: /data/misc/sensors/sns.reg

after all: just deleting the sns.reg-file was enough to fix the orientation issue. I mentioned the conf-file because it could be of use for somebody.
