After 4 Years with sprint they finally decided to shaft me and get rid of their "Unlimited Internet".

I've never once had a problem with them "throttling" or "disabling" my internet until just a few months ago.

I sincerely hope this company gets sued and or bankrupt for lying about "unlimited internet".

Hi I have an att m8 unlocked soff wanting to change to dev edition looked it up but alll threads are confusing can someone explain it to me a simple way please
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
EasIest way...change cid to BS_US001...run the 3.28.1540.5 ruu...done
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jacobz1996:
Do I need to use fastboot or can I do it someway else cus I don't know how to use fastboot
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Yes I suggest doing a little reading,to at least get started. No other way that I know of
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Couldn't he edited the RUUs android-info.txt to only include the BS_US001 CID essentially to where he won't have to use fastboot OEM writeCID ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hack14u:
1) Plug phone into computer

2) Reboot into Hboot by restarting phone and quickly holding volume down

3) Select fastboot

4) Open CMD as admin and CD directory to where your ADB and Fastboot files are

5) run command fastboot oem devices to make sure phone is recognized

6) run command fastboot oem write cid BS_US001

7) run command fastboot reboot

8) Run RUU exe file from HTC

9) Done

You must have a folder that contains your fastboot and ADB files in it. Without those you won't get very far.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Yes, but not as easy, and one really needs to learn this just as we all have, it will make you a better person at the end of the day, I promise. :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Its an exe,not the .zip files here and they are encrypted. So long story short no thats not doable.

Agreed folks need to learn at least the very basics of adb and fastboot commands.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

Number 6 is incorrect BS_US001 is correct cid. And as i said above android-info.txt file is encrypted,unless someone decrypts the zip it is not doable.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
OK...good to know...I was able to edit the android-info.txt file from 2.12.1700.1 RUU to only include GOOGL001 and 0P6B17000 without any kind of problems unless the encryption/decryption lays on another level during hboot.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Yeah cannot edit any files in the exe rom.zip, can pull boot.img out but thats it without it saying its corrupted.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Ahhhh, I gotcha...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hack14u:
My bad on the CID, I knew I was missing part of it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jacobz1996:
after i converted to dev edition my m8 battery life is horrible ive factory reset and everything and it still dont work
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
There isn't enough info here for this post to be very meaningful in any way.

If you just did the RUU, and the battery life is "horrible" on the first day, its because the battery meter needs to be recalibrated after an RUU or ROM flash (and a factory reset prob doesn't help matter, either). Charge to full, than drain to about 10% or so, in order to set the "high" and "low" battery meter flags. Maybe you've been using the phone longer (and this isn't relevant) but as you've provided no detail or specifics, we can only guess.

Also, if you flashed the new LP Dev Edition RUU, its a new radio. So possibly reverting to an older radio may help. But again, you provide no details, so we don't even know what RUU you used.

For that matter, we don't know if you are using the AT&T network. If not, that may be your issue as well (as the Dev Ed is intended for use on AT&T's network).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jacobz1996:
Hi yes I am using the Att network and the problem is it's reallly Kathy and battery last like 6 hours with sot of 2 hrs and it says android os and Android system use half the battery
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jacobz1996:
And I used the dev lp ruu
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I gave a couple suggestions, so try those before typing any more poorly constructed run-on sentences.

Also, I have no idea who Kathy is. She must be a real drain.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jacobz1996:
I have done what u said and it hasn't worked. I apologize was at work and rushing . The Android os and android system are the ones that are draining the battery the most
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You tried flashing a different radio?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jacobz1996:
i dont know how to flash a different radio and since its lollipop wouldnt it cause issues if i went to an older radio
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Maybe, maybe not. I think some folks have reverted to radios in the past and claim better reception. Some folks have had issues. Its just an idea.

Or you can try the Euro or Asian LP radios. But I'd be surprised if it gave you better results on the AT&T network then the US Dev Ed radio.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58306004&postcount=734

But you said you tried my suggestions, now you are saying you didn't try this one. So its frustrating to try to help someone when they give incomplete or incorrect information.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcacogp:
Hi,

I have a Moto G XT1032, running cm-11-20141016-UNOFFICIAL-OpenPDroid-falcon.zip (courtesy of MiyagiSan on here). It is used as a daily driver, and works well enough. However the biggest problem is that it appears that the ROM won't allow identification of mobile 'phone cells to applications. This is a problem when using applications such as Tasker or Llama for location-specific actions as knowing what cell you are connected to is an easy and low-power way of getting your (coarse) location.

Is this a common problem? Is there any solution? I haven't tried any other ROM yet, but the problem applies both for Llama and Tasker (if you ask it to list all the cells available at your current location it produces an empty list.) If it's relevant, I'm in the UK on the Orange network.

(Another annoying problem is that when the 'phone resets, as I have it do every night with Tasker, it often doesn't pick up a mobile signal connection at all. Turning 'Aeroplane Mode' on and off again solves it, but it would be nicer if this wasn't necessary.)

Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Oli.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcacogp:
Slight update to this; I updated the 'phone with a later version of CM and it seems to have overcome the problem. Which means that I can use Llama all over again to automate various bits of the phone .... yay! :)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twqwctf:
New FireTV, unrooted, running software version 51.1.4.1_user_514013920. Running SPMC 13.3.3.

After maybe a day of use, the audio on the FireTV develops an high-pitched 'whistle' effect. It's not a constant whistle. It only accompanies the sound you are hearing. It is more noticeable the louder the audio. If I reboot the FireTV, the problem goes away for while. It affects all audio system-wide including SPMC (I spend most time in SPMC, don't use Amazon apps much yet).

FireTV audio set to 'Dolby Digital Plus Off' but happens no matter what FireTV audio setting is. If I unplug HDMI and plug back in, problem persists. Rebooting FireTV fixes it (until the next day when it recurs).

Youtube video of the issue - playing the Amazon intro video- When he says 'Hello, and Welcome.' you can really hear it.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twqwctf:
There is this high pitched whistle sound. It's obvious. When he says "Hello, and Welcome" for example, the high pitched whistle is very clearly heard.\

You know, it's not 'distortion'. I chose the wrong word. It's a high pitched whistle sound. That's the best I can describe it. My 12-year old walked in and noticed it. I know it's not just me LOL.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
I'm sorry, it's not obvious to me. Have you tried taking your AFTV to a neighbors/friends house and seeing if it has the same problem on their TV? This way you can rule out your TV as the cause. Another thing to try is a different HDMI cable.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twqwctf:
How can it be my TV or HDMI cable if I unplug the FireTV then plug it back in (reboot it) and the problem goes away? It is an old TV (from 2003 I think), I'll give you that.

(What I need to do (tomorrow) is record another Youtube video (A vs. B) so the difference can be clearly distinguished. I'll post again tomorrow )

:)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
It's about finding what the problem is. By using a different TV, you can rule out if it's an AFTV problem, or possibly your TV. You said you returned another AFTV for the same problem already, and 2 of them have the same problem, which isn't common, and you getting both? Not very likely.

So if we rule out the TV and can rule out the HDMI, then it leaves that you got very unlucky and got 2 AFTV's that ended up with the same problem.

And do you happen to hear the sound loudest when you have a mostly white screen?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twqwctf:
I hadn't noticed a correlation between whites in the screen and the audio anomaly. I'll have to go back tomorrow and inspect further. I hear your suggestions about ruling out the TV and cable. I have another cable so I will try that very soon. I also have another TV- I will try that one also. I will update this thread as I find out. Thank you kindly!!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twqwctf:
I'm going to troubleshoot with a different HDMI cable. However, it is confusing to me how a reboot of the FireTV would resolve the audio issue completely (for a while) with the same HDMI cable. Can a low-quality HDMI cable degrade or become corrupt during it's connection to the display over time?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhumber:
i'd agree, but you should still try, maybe its the TV, when the FireTV sends different audio sources with like different bitrates or number of channels or something to your TV its somehow borking or mis interpreting the signal.. doesnt happen all the time because there could be something in some video content somewhere at some point triggering it to mess up.. but you would think a TV reset would fix it.. did you try unplugging the TV and just leaving the fireTV running and seeing what happens when you power the TV back up?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martian21:
It could be electrical noise. Try a different outlet / circuit and see if that helps. It also could be noise / interference picked up in the HDMI cable.

I see the problem. It would drive me mad as well.

I have a cheap long hdmi cable. I highly doubt that will make a difference. Bestbuy always sells the gold plated one. As for the sound, test it directly to the TV. Are you going through a processor. I had mine go through the bose lifestyle 535 and I got a lot of distortion and I thought something was wrong with the firetv. Who would think anything would be wrong with bose. Eventually it turned out the bose got defective and bose changed the processor under warranty and the flicker is totally gone.

Try it direct on the TV and see what happens. if not try it on another tv and try isolating the problem one at a time. Test other hdmi cables as well.

does it happen with other sources? if not It may be the audio sync. If it still does not fix, then try hdmi to RC

If you still have issues, try researching on converting the hdmi to analog with left right maybe? something like the one below. since the tv is old, it may not be able to handle the hdmi signals correctly.?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PopatChaupat:
Went through registering just to add my comment.

I know exactly what the OP is talking about. I face this issue every once in a while and unfortunately now have reasons to believe that it is the FireTV hardware (or software) issue.

I have spent some time trying to figure out where this issue is. I have similar observation that the issue goes away only after rebooting FireTV.

Once I hit the issue, I tried changing the HDMI cable, power cycling the TV, directly connecting to the TV with the best HDMI cable I have but nothing gets rid of the shrill sound. Only rebooting helps.

Just wanted to add that it is a real issue on more than one FireTV systems. FWIW, I had ordered mine within a couple of weeks of launch.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
I'm not try n to highjack but after reading this thread I'm thinking the aftv audio has strange glitches with some older tv hardware. Since I got the aftv in June I've had this weird glitch where sound cuts out. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot. And it fixes it fine until the like the next night I go to play something.

I used to think network issue but the signal is fine & I just upgraded to a high end router. Plus I've used many boxes in that spot with no issues. And from time to time I move the aftv to different places and have no problems.

I know it's not the same as the op's complaint but it is audio related, reboot fixes it and it's only with one tv in my house. It's crazy annoying! But I'm glad I read this because now I mayrelocate it to another room or put a different tv set in the bedroom.

Hmmm...a simpler solution might be trying a new hdmi. I'll report back if I have something.

Edit--after a night of no issues it's back to audio cutting out. Today I did relocate it to the basement tv and once again I had no issues. This is not a minor bug. It's extraordinarily annoying. Especially when it's combined with Netflix glitches that others have reported for awhile. (It'll report Netflix is unable to play title but wait a minute or so to reboot and all is fine.)

I have signs of a similar issue.

I started hearing clicks and processing noises from my right earbud when connected through the TV with the Radio Shack extension cord I got recently.

That cord is not the problem since I had no audio issues with it for over a week.

It could be hardware related with mine as well.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akl123:
I believe the issue is with your TV. The Panasonic TH-37PX50U is only a 1080i (not a 1080p). The Fire TV sends a 1080p video and audio signal. If you set the AFTV Display setting to 720p 60Hz and the Audio setting to Dolby Digital Plus - Automatic, the audio high pitch frequency sound will go away. You will be limited to 720p output but no more whistle.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure its not gonna be fixed because its not broken. Like the previous poster said its the TV. TVs with bad or poor cec support, usually older TV sets can have this issue. I get your frustration. I've been rebooting daily since June. My other aftv works fine. Knowing how it works I found a work around that works for me but might not help you. Make sure you power the TV on first. Too bad this isn't always an option if the aftv doesn't sleep or happens to be awake when you turn on the TV.

I've gotten so frustrated I'm considering buying a new TV which sucks because there's nothing else wrong with it.

Sony KDL70W850B 70-Inch 1080p, 1st released March 9, 2014

Its starts after I switch to a new app, it does not happen every time you switch apps. And it happens more if I hit the home button instead of exiting the app (2-3 times a day). But it does still happens with exiting an apps (maybe once a day). Does not seem to matter what app I quit or what app I start next.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
If it's not the Tv then I have no idea. I assume you already tried different hdmi cables? But to rule out CEC maybe use it on a different tv for a few days or however long it takes for the error. Sounds like a awesome TV so that sucks if it is in fact a handshake issue. Maybe try different audio settings on aftv and tv.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TROJAN4EVR:
Have you tried 'Dolby Digital Plus Automatic'???
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackbladder:
I don't think it is your telly mate,..... because mine does the same,... (TV is a 42" LG led that's just a couple of years old, and nothing I have plugged into it makes this unusual sound).

If I just run the FireTV, I get no unusual high pitched sounds, .. But as soon as I run Helix 14.0, It starts.

But as soon as I play music/watch Video the sound immediately stops, (even before the actual audio has kicked in).

It's as if the firetv/Helix combo has an over adjusted volume setting that needs turning down. (only way I can explain it).

I'm going to try the DD Plus setting later to see what difference it makes, as quoted by TROJAN4EVR.
