[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac12383:
I have an HTC One M7 on T-Mobile, v4.4.3, with a locked bootloader and no root access (never got around to rooting). So the phone is basically completely untouched from a developer standpoint. I had previously accessed the developer options and I'm pretty sure I left USB debugging checked although not 100% positive.

The past few days my phone has been randomly rebooting, and then today I randomly found it in a state of apparent upgrading even though there are no new OTA updates (I checked yesterday). Then it was "optimizing apps" and going through all of them. Then it rebooted and ever since that point it has been stuck on the HTC ONE logo and will not boot to the home screen. I'm able to access the bootloader (HBOOT 1.57). I'm also able to access the stock recovery, from which I wiped the partition cache and rebooted with no success.

I have a ton of pics and videos from the first year of my son's life on the phone and stupidly did not back them up. I really want to avoid doing a factory reset if possible. Is there any way to recover these files?

I installed minimal ADB and fastboot. From within fastboot on the phone, I can see my device when typing "fastboot devices" in the command prompt. However, it does not list any devices when I enter "adb devices" in the command prompt, regardless of whether my phone is in the bootloader, fastboot, recovery, or stuck on the logo screen. I reinstalled updated HTC drivers and also tried with a universal ADB driver. I've tried multiple usb cables and all USB 2.0 ports, using Windows 7. While in fastboot, when I connect my phone to PC via usb cable, the computer makes the typical sound that it does when a USB device is connected and unconnected, however no drive/mount shows up.

All I want to do is find my device somehow on the PC and extract my photos and videos. I was hoping to use "adb pull" to do this but it just won't find my device. At this point, unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery will wipe all data anyway, correct? Is there any way that I can recover my data in this situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I'm at a complete loss and losing this data would be terrible. Thanks so much in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
unfortunately, you need a booted rom or a custom recovery to use adb commands, so you can't pull your files from the bootloader or from the stock recovery. You already wiped cache and tried to reboot... Not much you can do except maybe to try reflashing the firmware and see if your phone can boot. Can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except imei and serialno?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac12383:
Thanks for the quick reply. Here's the info.

Would reflashing firmware require the bootloader to be unlocked? It wouldn't wipe my data?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
no with s-on, bootloader must be locked to flash firmware.

What you could try is to download the 6.10.531.9 RUU and extract the firmware.zip and flash it to your phone.

Firmware.zip must be in the same folder where adb and fastboot are then open a command prompt (minimal adb/fastboot):

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fasboot reboot

If this doesn't work I think theres nothing we can do (to access your files) At least you can restore your phone using the complete RUU
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac12383:
Thanks, I'll give that a try soon, probably tomorrow, and let you know how it goes. Appreciate the help
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac12383:
I flashed it successfully, but unfortunately the phone still did not boot to the home screen. I'll hold off on wiping everything for a little longer in case anyone has any other ideas. Thanks for the help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac12383:
HTC and T-Mobile were of no help, as suspected. I guess I just find it strange that there's NO WAY to recover data from a soft bricked phone. If I was some big-time criminal who was arrested by the FBI and my phone was seized in this condition, their analysts would have no way of getting into my phone and recovering the data? Maybe I just watch too many crime shows, I don't know...but that seems a bit unbelievable. Is there no way to (carefully) take it apart and access the hard drive in some other way? I'm desperate...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes they would disassemble the phone, de-solder the emmc chip and extract its data which is not an easy task...

There is no hard drive in your phone, its a memory chip (emmc). It is soldered to the main board and can't be removed by the user.

see the chip highlighted in orange? This is where your data is stored.

If you can't boot to the OS, your bootloader is still locked, and you have already tried to erase cache and reflashed the firmware, afaik, there's nothing more you can try :(

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chyeo1979:
Which browser do you think works best on nexus 9 with the least lag and heat? Chrome is not bad in using but gets really hot and super lag sometimes when returning to home screen (could take up to 3-4 seconds for browser to close, sometimes even close in slow motion. I will say this is the most embarrrasing trait on Nexus 9 that should not exist at all).

Most other apps that i use are ok so far, but broswer is like the most fundamental thing they should get it to work well.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:

Chrome beta seems to be working fine.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayoraider07:
I use puffin (free), and it is the fastest browser. But for the least amount of heat, opera mini(I prefer beta version) is good, but doesn't have the option for Desktop user agent...

With opera mini:

Anyone have thoughts on whether there is less heat because it is a "mini" browser or is it because the browser does data/image compression (off-road mode)

Its my understanding that the actual reason for excessive heat is because the CPU ramps up to max clock speed everytime the screen is touched, and this happens constantly while browsing. The only current solution is using the tablet in power saving mode, or some modifications to the kernel..
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albsat:
Firefox
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Hurt:
I use Firefox with adblock edge.

Less heat, slightly better battery life, and best of all (for me) is that it keeps playing videos in the background when I switch tabs, switch apps, or even lock the screen.

The best advice though for battery/heat issues is using elemantalx kernel and capping CPU/GPU frequencies while browsing.

Hope google fixes that governor quickly (and the memory management issues).
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycebo:
Go back and forth between Ghostery and Atlas. Would love to use chrome but I need an adblocker extension (not supported) and man has it gotten laggy recently.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chyeo1979:
Firefox really a nice and polished browser, now my default. Only complaint is multiple windows dun appear as individual tabs on tablet.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolling_thunder:
The regular Opera seems to be working great for me. Great battery life, 6+ hours, where with chrome i was looking at like 4 hours SOT. Also loads fast, and doesnt keep reloading pages constantly like chrome does. Ive tried puffin, uc, firefox, dolphin, a bunch of different betas, and opera seems by far the best. Too bad they dont have a better looking icon, lol. Im running mine bone stock.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgios73:
Dolphin is always my first choice

No lags no overheating and it supports flash.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris3g:
Try Habit browser. I was ready to smash the tablet due to constant tab reloading in chrome beta.

You need to spend at least 30 minutes going through the options (there are hundreds) and you can configure it to look and behave exactly that way you want.

I also find battery life is slightly improved over chrome, i can get 8 hours of screen on time, most of that browsing.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.gu:
Hmmm. I always use Chrome. Not sure what else is out there.

Dolphin Here For Flash Support

Been using Dolphin for flash support for a long time. Used to be you needed to load a modified flash apk in Dolphin to get it to work but now i think it's included by default, at least I know for sure if you sign up for the Dolphin beta it is. Might be though it's included in the non-beta as well now. :D

That Habit broswer is wicked. It's as if the tablet is idling. Thanks for the tip and screenshots:D

Yandex browser seems better than Firefox/Chrome in my experience. Worth a try.

No tabs reloading, so fast at loading. Night and day better performance. :highfive:

[P3600 General] MontAlbert:
My phone company, 3, have just released these finally in Oz and am heading out to get one tomorrow.

Now is the best time to ask everyone what are their favourite programs they have installed on the Trinity? Saves me searching around forever.... :D

I need one that closes all programs totally (so they dont continue to run in the background), switches what hard buttons do (unless you can do that automatically), plus whatever else people think i need......

I thought this would be a good thread for all newbies and others who want to know what are the best ways to pimp up their Trinity.

thanks

[P3600 General] saitan:
You can stop all running programs from Start button->Settings->System->Memory.

Also the new ROM i got has an option somewhere with the ability to change the behaviour on the closebutton.. It says HTC menu util or something similar.
[P3600 General] rdkay:
Get magicbutton (for the task closing), its free and works fine....
[P3600 General] saitan:
It's under START->Settings->System->Task Manager.

It has 2 options;

1) End programs by tapping X

2) End programs by taping and holding X
[P3600 General] Cr7pt0r:
MagicButton sucks pretty hard, the last version has some issues with the telephone application (it doesnt close it).

The most kick ass application you'll ever get for your trin is this one:

Spb Mobile Shell: This a pretty good application that enhance your today screen with tabbed menus and give you alot of nice features like enhanced menus, task manager and alot of other cool features.

----------------

Another kick ass application that it's a must is this one:

SKTools v3.1.3: I think it's self explanatory.

----------------

My 2 cents :)

Thank you for the attention.

[P3600 General] MontAlbert:
thanks for that. what are the programs down the bottom where you can have all the shortcuts on the today page? The one with the tabs for Big,Apps, Car,etc plus the little icons below that....... same program?

That is my only shortfall of this beautiful phone- the lack of shortcuts i can program.
[P3600 General] FuzzMunky:
Matterhorn, it looks like you would benefit in battery time and also speed, by using the option to properly close your apps rather than minimise them when pressing the X button. I am judging this by all the apps that appear to be open in the bottom of your today screen.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
The apps at the bottom of the screen are all just shortcuts, they aren't running. The program iLauncher allows you to make shortcuts at the bottom of the today screen. These are the apps that I use very often and don't want look for them. The other groups of shortcuts "Big", "Apps" etc. are also part of iLauncher and I make the icons big so I can use my fingers to launch the apps. I have iLauncher programmed to close some apps with the X while other programs are not allowed to be closed with the X, such as Messaging, Mortplayer, IE etc. I use the "close all" option when I really want a clean system. Believe me, I don't let apps run unless I need them running :) .
[P3600 General] MontAlbert:
how do you make it so the ilauncher bar is all the way down the bottom of the screen? mine sits about halfway up....
[P3600 General] BelowAverageIQ:
Montalbert,

Go to start>settings>today>items select program shown and select move up or down!

Regards,

BIQ
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
It is a bit tricky because when you have items in your calendar plug-in it moves the whole today screen up and down. That is why I use TodayAgenda instead, it is an app that allows you to set the length of your Task and Calendar list. This way you only scroll within TodayAgenda and not the whole screen. This makes it possible to make the iLauncher stay at the bottom. You just have to set iLauncher to manual height and experiment until you get the proper height for your today screen.

I hope that helps :)

Why does the 4G stay on when connected to WiFi, it does not seem to be using any data but wouldn't it save battery if it turned the 4G off when not in use?

[Verizon LG G3] tatootie67:
If you turn data off you will not be able to receive or send mms. Best to leave it alone. I use g3 teeakbox to hide it when on Wi-Fi
[Verizon LG G3] kchinth:
For phone calls and text messages. Data will go through wifi.
[Verizon LG G3] random571:
I hear you - if the 4g radio is on it is theoretically eating your battery; although it may be negligible with the power saving built into the phone. If you want 4g/data completely off while on WiFi you can download a tasker app from the play store and set it up to automatically switch off data when WiFi is connected & vice versa; it's been working well for me. You'll lose stock MMS if data is turned off though, so consider that before you use a tasker. You can always grab a 3rd party messaging app for MMS if you need it, and they will work because they are only over WiFi.

But if it is just an aesthetic thing, as mentioned in a post above, you can hide the icon using g3 tweaks.
[Verizon LG G3] geoff5093:
The only difference is that these phones show you what mobile data connection you have. On T-Mobile, you may have a phone that only shows the bars when on WiFi, but it's still connected, just look at an app like Signal Check Pro.

This is not eating your battery, it's not being used, it simply tells you what connection is idle for when you are no longer using WiFi.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] Gnahziurnah:
Hi Forum.

I've got an Android Lollipop theme running on my LG G2 D800 PA 4.6 Beta 5 called IdeaL X Dark Theme.

The Lollipop navbar icons that come with IdeaL are too thin and don't look connected with the rest of the theme. I've got SoftkeyZ installed, but SoftkeyZ is unable to override the navbar icons with a theme applied.

I was wondering how I can change the navbar icons even with a theme applied.

If there is any way to isolate the navbar theme from the theme engine built into PA, that would be cool. If I apply the stock theme to the ROM, changing the navbar icons with SoftkeyZ works like a charm.
