[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iamterence:
Hello all! My name is Terence, and I've been dealing with Android devices and rooting for years now, so the first things I always look at when I'm searching for new devices are the Dev community, and the AOSP scene. Right the the device I have is the LG G2, and while its an amazing device, flashing ROMs (or hell, just owning the device in general) is a lot like playing Russian Roulette with the display. What I mean by that is, there is a known problem with this phone where permanent black lines would appear on the right side of the device, with no real explanation so far. At first, people thought it was because of flashing certain ROMs, or the phone overheating. Then people started vetted screen damage being just on stock. And I am one of those people with screen damage. So I started thinking, I can either get this fixed for $130, or search for a new device. I've found a good condition HTC One M7 for $150. My question(s) to you is, should I do it? Is it worth it just to buy this particular device? Are there any crazy issues such as my screen damage that pops up? I know the One isn't quite as good as the LG G2 on paper, but I'm not really a power user like that. I just love me some AOSP ROMs, and there's work being done on Lollipop, which is also a huge plus. Thanks for your time and answers!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
I've never used the G2 so it's hard to compare, but I like my m7. The only crazy issue that pops up is that pictures taken in the dark can get a purple hue to them. The consensus seems to be that it's caused when the phone gets hot. Since I usually don't take pictures at night, it hasn't affected me much. As for the developer scene, we have some great developers here still. I can't think of a single ROM that was not created/ported to this phone. Also, HTC is still actively developing for it, so that's a plus.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
I would go for the G2 simply due to the combination of performance, battery life, and awesome bezelness it provides.

The purple hue is actually a VERY widespread manufacturing defect. Sending the phone in for warranty repair fixes it - I have no idea how much it would cost without warranty. And really, the camera isn't all that spectacular even in good conditions. However, HTC seems to be committed to providing a great UX, with their Play Store apps, timely updates, and Dev support.

So it comes down to this: would you rather have a mediocre(honestly, that's being generous) phone with great dev options or a great phone with mediocre dev options?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] muneebrocks:
I think that is a rather harsh.

Frankly if you are going for a used m7 which doesnt have a camera issue I think it is a very good choice to have because frankly this was awarded the best phone of 2013 and we will officially get the lollipop. Sense UI is one of the better additions as opposed to the rest
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iamterence:
The thing is, the whole reason why I'm even considering doing this is because of the G2's seemingly random problem with permanent screen damage on the device, which I will upload a picture of. People have gotten their displays fixed and either had black lines again straight from boot, or had everything be okay. I simply do not want to waste my money for a fix, so it'd probably just be better to get a new device altogether.

Maybe what I'll end up doing is fix the screen sometime in the future and then end up selling one of the devices, depending on which offers me better real-life performance and has a better development scene.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
I did mention that HTC has really developed quite a rep for being Dev friendly and providing a great UX and timely updates.

However, they put WAY too much effort into making this device good looking and feeling (I'll be honest, this is, to me, the single best looking and feeling device ever built. Including the M8 and every other phone I have ever seen) and not enough into making this a good performer. The camera took the worst hit of all, along with battery life.

However, the G2 seems to have its fair share of problems. It seems that the tiny bezel may be the cause of those broken LCDs. The m7, however, is a solid phone, and will physically never fail you. It was tested to be one of the most durable devices out there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
These are the two things people ding the phone for and I understand why, but for me, the battery lasts at least a day with bad reception and two days with good. I do admit though that I'm not on the phone a lot, but I can usually get 3-4 hours of screen time. As for the camera, I've taken some really good low light pictures with it (see attached for my favorites, one has my wife and mini-me in it).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] muneebrocks:
I think that HTC one is meant for people who want all rounder phone. Its not the best at any aspect but is very good in most

LG is meant for people who actually do benchmark tests and compare numbers. Count the number of pixels. etc

Its focused on power users.

But Frankly i think smart phones these days are over powered anyways. I mean do you really need a octa core phone to play flappy bird?

I use HTC because its comfortable and friendly and good looking its not the most powerful one or with the most number of megapixel but it works.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iamterence:
Well I ended up getting it, and I'm... Well, I'm slightly disappointed. The phone is definitely smooth and fluid for being an older device, but what I did NOT know was how damn small this thing was. I really can't even type too well with this device because of the screen size. And I have he purple camera bug as well, but luckily for me, I actually don't use the camera too much, and all definitely points to heating issues, because once the phone cools down, the pictures go back to normal. Speaking of heat, this phone gets HOT. Like, hot for no damn reason. I could simply just have the screen on for two minutes and it'd already start cooking eggs. Which leads me to my next point. Battery drain. Holy Christ this thing doesn't know what it wants to do with it's battery. I could be at 15% then plug the phone in, reboot to recovery to flash a different ROM, then suddenly I'm at 52%, then I'll drop down to 36% after just setting up all of my apps.

In conclusion, I've come to terms that this device isn't just for me, and I will be selling it to fix my G2 screen.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] A_Flying_Fox:
You have a defective device lol that's sad because I honestly love my m7 and I don't feel the need to upgrade yet. My old m7 had horrid battery drain and the speakers blew put but my second one has been running smooth on stock for 6 months now (old one was 6 months but I dealt with those issues for about 2 months) . My battery life still amazes me. I love the size the form factor and the hardware keys. Honestly the only deal breaker for me is no SD card slot. I'm no where close to filling up 32 gigs but I like having the option for on the go pr0ns and what not.

Another major problem is the camera. I've come to the conclusion all m7's have the purple hue problem and its very annoying. I can't send nice pics unless I use the flash but sometimes it gets white washed :( its OK I deal with that fault because everything else is perfect especially the 4.7 inch 1080p. I was lookin to upgrade to the z3 compact but its only 720p :(
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Nothing about that sounds normal. I have an M7 and I have no intention of upgrading until "the next big thing" arrives. Maybe silicon anode batteries. Or lytro cameras that can do live HDR and supersampling.

This phone is really solid, and I can't imagine anyone actually hating it. Maybe you need to calibrate the battery by running it down completely then fully charging it (without turning it back on)?

And hey, 4.7" is perfect!

I dunno, choice is yours. Fixing the G2 sounds great, whatever.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] muneebrocks:
You have a defective device. I did advise you to ensure you have no issues with the used phone before getting it

That device isnt meant for anyone I guess.

If the price is too good to be true I guess it really was too good to be true unfortunately for you
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] A_Flying_Fox:
Nice to see y'all came to the same conclusions hahah. The g2 is a great phone none the less so you should prilly stick with it.

I also love the "wow what phone is that?" When I lay it on the table :p
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CRACING:
I'm a fan of HTC and I only buy their devices but not some of there craps. I bought a used HTC One m7 4 months back and I love it. Its solid, slim,easy to handle and excellent quality. It has very slight pink tint issue or almost not. I haven't had problems while taking photos day/night so far. It has ST sensor. Only problem is green tint when flash is turned on but I believe its software issue and will be fixed soon. Apart none of the issues I have that you have stated. I play Traffic Racer, Turbo Racing 3D and even Real Racing 3 for hours but the device will be hardly heated, Thanks to aluminum body. It is having CM11 official Nightly and I always update it.

Battery life is at-least 1 day on heavy usage and 2 days on light usage.

LG G2 has 5.2" whereas HTC One M7 has 4.7 so a difference of half inch makes you feel HTC One M7 is small. I did not had problems with typing but I think you have bigger hands so you need more then 5" of display or a note. Still bigger mean difficult to handle daily and its the reason we call smartphones for small devices and note for bigger.

Used devices will never be 100% working conditions unless seller is trusted. Sometimes seller hide the issues and sell it to get best price, so you have to be careful.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mothmansound:
I never really post much but I do have to agree that if you do a little work this has been my favorite phone to date. I have viper one for my Rom. Took some time learning getting customized the way I want and have kangaroo kernel for double tap to wake.

I hate the sleep button so the screen wake was my last hurtle. Battery could be better I guess. That may be a sign how much I use it though.

I tried the Moto x for a while and it's a really nice phone however with my setup I'm not looking anymore for a while. Gave the moto to the wife.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FormeriPhoney:
Just picked up the T800 Monday. Love it .

For some reason I keep getting a "Calender has stopped" message every 15-20 min. I did turn off a few apps but nothing calender related.

Haven't rooted or frozen anything.. Yet.

Any ideas what is causing this?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I had this a few times then went away. It was becuase of something i delted or turned off. What apps did you turn off?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonerp:
I'm having exactly the same issue but with s-planner
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcollier:
Mine kept doing this also. I just froze the 4.4.x calendar app and installed the new one from Lollipop and haven't seen the message since.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeP:
I would trying clearing data for the Calendar and Calendar Storage apps. I assume your calendar data is synced or backed-up somewhere.

(Settings > Applications > [select applications] > Clear Data
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGoD:
Same problem here, ever since the new "material design" update. Running SkyHigh Kernel.

Didn't helped.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flhthemi:
If you check the play store reviews of the Google Calendar, they aren't good at all. A lot of gripes about the new version. I don't what the deal is with google, seems every time they "update" an apk, they make it worse than it already was. They pretty much ruined Talk (Hangouts) and google+ is a total mess to use. I still can't figure out WHY they feel like I can't have the permission to write to the external SD card unless I use their stupid file manager! This REALLY ticks me off and if I can't do it in Lollipop, I might just dump all my Android stuff and go to Windows devices.

Fire ALL the devs at google and hire some people that CAN code!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surowica:
Hi.

Something strange happend to my Nexus 5. I can't turn it OFF, boot into bootloader, custom recovery, factory reset, nothing. My phone is on now and everything is working (charging is working too). I am on Pure White ROM on android 5.0, build LRX21O with franco kernel. Help guys, there's literally nothing I can do. Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Piees and hold the power button for 20 seconds. It should shut off
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surowica:
Still nothing. After doing it, the google logo appears and it boots to the system. Unable to turn it off...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slater_g:
Is your battery life suddenly abysmal, too? I am facing the same problem. I suspect franco kernel, cause I am stock plus franco.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surowica:
​

Battery drain is ok. In my opinion it's Franco kernels' fault. But there's literally nothing we can do...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Try adb reboot recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slater_g:
I could get into recovery:

Reboot with the normal reboot menu in Android, but hold Vol+ and Vol-. When the device reboots, you get into bootloader, from there into recovery.

Just reflashed my system.img and boot.img from stock to uninstall franco.

Will report back.

PS: Also had Lightflow installed, anyone else?

EDIT: This solved the reboot problem. If the battery drain is fixed I can only tell after a day or so.

EDIT2: Seems that the drain has also been fixed. Not completely sure yet.

EDIT3: Yeah, definitely solved. Will stay away from custom kernels for now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surowica:
Thanks man! You the best :D for sure sth is wrong with Franco, not sure about other kernels. Be aware guys! Think I'll stick to the stock kernel for a while...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tikku1969@gmail.com:
I am unable to switch off my Google Nexus 5, tried holding down the power button for more than 30 seconds + but nothing happenes, the screen is blank (can just multicoloured dots - pixekl?), even tried holding down the vol up / down keys alongwith the power button but results are still the same.. do I need to wait for the battery to run down or is there any other way to switch off / factory reset the phone

You can use titanium backup from the play store to back up all apps and data

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogretech:
You might look at Helium as well. It can (with the help of a desktop or Chrome app) do such backups without rooting; which is required by Titanium.

How to use T-mobile Softcard app (ISIS Wallet) in a AT&T phone

Hi,

I have just ported from AT&T to T-mobile. Upon porting, I was hoping that once I get a T-mobile enhanced Sim card, my Softcard (ISIS wallet) should work in my unlocked AT&T galaxy s3 phone. But no luck.

My first challenge was to get the T-mobile version of softcard from the play store. Reading through some post I found changing the following properties should make my device reflect as a T-mobile device. In my case with the Galaxy s3 (I747) , I have changed the below properties in build.prop file to mimic a T-mobile model galaxy s3.

build.prop values for t-mobile SGH-T999

ro.product.model=SGH-T999

ro.product.name=d2tmo

ro.product.device=d2tmo

I then also unrooted my phone, as softcard has a restriction that it will not work on rooted phones. But even after doing all this, on launching the T-mobile Softcard app, I get a message "To use softcard, your phone needs a different SIM card". This is despite of having the T-mobile enhanced SIM card. I am tired of searching on how I can make this work.

Your advise in helping me through this is much appreciated.

So if one of you could do this before someone else temporarily soft - bricks their phone? Please?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
The instructions are no different from unlocking any nexus device with the exception that you need to check a box in developer settings. Just do a Google search.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
I myself have no problem with this, but

IMHO, I think the instructions need posting in said section. Lots of folks are getting a Nexus for 1st time. Are we going to advise all of them just to do a Google search? If that is the consensus, then so be it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Fair but then write them or provide a link.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
I think there are many more qualified than I to do that. But I will try to devote some time this week to finding drivers, lollipop SDK for windows, etc. Then, when I get the phone unlock it and record all the steps. Then (if successful) post them.
