[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] involato:
sorry for my previous post....

1) open AppMarket (ok, it's all in chinese)

2) in the search bar enter GMS

3) download and install GMS安装器 (the icon is the android robot, with some gapp icon inside). it is 0,17M

4)launche the app

5) you'll be prompted to remove the SD card before proceed. when done press OK

6) the app will download more or less 190M. be sure to be connected to a wifi

7) when done, you'll be required to enter the code *#*#442#*#* in the phone dialer

8) the phone will reboot in recovery and will install the play store and all gapps

9) the phone will reboot

don't forget to remove the SD card!!!!!!!

I hope this can help you.

it worked for me!

I've found this information in a chinese bbs, btw, you can look in youtube for "HTC E8 Dual Sim ( 4G Version ) - How to install the Google Play Service" at 1:52 .......

Flash'em

Hi,

No official international rom so far (I doubt if it's planned, this phone's target is Asia)

Convenient solution is to flash GAPPS on top of existing software (without erase, just clear cache). Base package can be found at htcui[dot]com//androidrom/htc_820_rom [replace dot] - look for BillGates-li tread (you may need to use chrome with translation, as it's all Chinese). I'm sorry for confusion, but due to rookie rank, I'm not allowed to post external links.

Beware, each major upgrade (that flashes, not patches) will erase those GAPPS.

You'll need:

- customer recovery .img (can be found in orygnial android development section)

- fastboot (to flash i.e. install it)

- (suggested) original recovery.img (to enable future upgrades from HTC, that will download but not install on custom recovery)

Don't forget to backup before flashing - "just'n'case".

GMS App not working

Hi, just bought an HTC 820us, and just like everyone, no google apps. What's weird is that my phone is not even recognized by HTC sync manager, Windroid, HTC tool, fastboot under command line or any other program.

I'm unable to get this device's token in order to unlock the bootloader and install google apps, root, etc. When I try to install the GMS app I get an "App not installed error". If anyone finds a solution for this i'll be more than happy to donate to the cause.

Thanks for reading!
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_china_no_google_play:
same device, no google play too...

well, I have the same device since two days and I still try to install google play without success yet. it is possible at all or I can just use a limited version of this smartphone? :(

this is my first android phone and I have no idea what to do...any suggestions are welcome :)
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oscarat50:
found a solution

Ok, so after dealing with this phone for a while I found many solutions for the common problems of having an imported phone from china.

I found solutions for: Google Apps, Root, CallerID mismatch (Contacts not recognized when receiving calls due to chinese format of their CallerID)

- How to install Google Apps

1. Do a Factory Reset of your phone in the recovery screen (volume down+power button)

2. Download the GMS安装器 apk in your computer from google or any other source, make sure it's the apk with the android robot with the google apps logo in it. (app is no longer distributed in the included App Market)

3. Tranfer the downloaded file to a SD card (32gb maximum size or else it wont be recognized)

4. Insert the SD card in your phone

5. Using the "File Transfer" app in your phone copy the GMS app to the phone's "Download" folder.

6. Enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings/Security/Device Administration

7. Install the App, DON'T RUN IT. (Installation failed for me at first, a factory reset solved this)

8. Unmount the SD Card

9. Using the "File Transfer" app, install the GMS apk

10. Follow the instructions the GMS app is giving you, remember to remove the SD card before installation

11. The app will download something like 200mb, after that it will ask you to enter a code in your phone's dialer, enter it, it will automatically will reboot.

12. If you are lucky, the phone will have all Google Apps installed.

- Root

Once you have Google apps installed, it's easier for some root exploits to work.

1. Use Kingo Root for windows, it will try many methods of Rooting your device, the one that worked used an installation of various apps. Kingo root needed "USB Debugging" activated in Settings/Developer Options. If you don't have the Developer options menu enabled, please google it.

Once you have Root access it's easier to remove the Chinese apps that came with the phone.

- How to fix the CallerID not recognizing contacts problem

1. Download and Install "ES File Explorer" using the Google Play Store app.

2. Allow Root access when prompted to.

3. Head over to the "Tools" menu using the button in the upper left corner of the "ES File Explorer" app.

4. Enable "Root Explorer"

5. Click on "Root Explorer"

6. Click on "Mount R/W

7. Set "/system" to the RW value.

8. Press OK

9. Navigate to: Local, then /Device/system

10. Look for file named: "build.prop" and open it

11. Open it using ES Note Editor

12. Edit the file (using the 3 dots menu on the upper right corner)

13. Find the entry named: ro.phone.min_match=11 and change the number to 7.

14. Entry has to be named ro.phone.min_match=7

15. Press the return button, it will ask you to save changes, save them.

16. Just in case, remove the RW access mentioned in step 7.

17. Go to Settings/apps/all/ contacts and force stop, clear data

18. Do the same with the Contact Storage App.

19. Reboot Phone, cross your fingers and problem is solved.

I hope this helps a lot of people.

BTW: My phone is an HTC 820us, China Mobile.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_china_no_google_play:
get gapps...

I describe here how to get GAPPS for HTC D820US and maybe for any other "China-smartphone"

1_: Unmount the SD Card

2_: go to nduoa.com/package/detail/225445 with Chrome

3_: Right click on the page > translate to english

4_: Choose the green button next to blue one and above the other three green ones to download a small file called com.gmainstaller.apk

5_: install it

6_: this apk will download a file of abt. 246MB and needs following code in the dialer which pop-ups automatically [ code: * # * # 442 # * # * ]

7_: The device automatically restart and automatically install GAPPS, after the completion of all applications please check the list.

8_: if needed after all, download separately from "apkmirror.com" following two apk's: Google Play Services and Google Play Store.

tried on two HTC D820us and works like a charm ;)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ReaperOfTheFallen666:
My Verizon HTC One (m7) has had an issue of overheating since the last OS version KitKat. Been doing research and have seen that most people have been going to bootloader screen and clearing cache to solve problem and rest battery. Not sure if this true wanted to see if i could get some advice. How do i get to bootloader??? Is it possible to reset battery settings so current is moderated correctly to batter solving heating issues. The new OS Lolipop hasnt made it to my server. I dont want to have a prob and this phone go off in my hand. Its not reach an unsafe temp from what i can tell from research cause over clocked Htc One's have gotten to 114℉ before shutting down. Mine is a stock rom, unrooted, and i have Linpus battery Optimizer on. Temp is reading 104℉, please help. Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Maybe it's your battery optimizer causing the issue. Also what apps are running g in the background? Is it overheating while plugged in or playing games? More info needed.

Lollipop hasn't even been released for the m7

Hi,

Did try to flash this...

Nothing to do : only a black screen on reboot.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Buggedout:
Sorry for the noob question but if I do this will I get root access on my Z2 tablet without needing it to be rooted first ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Bird40:
You first need to get root and recovery on .314 or .401 version firmware, for example, by this, and then follow the instructions in the OP.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Buggedout:
That guide worked perfectly for me before, but it doesnt work for 4.4.4 build 23.01.A.3.9 so I am unable to get root access to do anything.

Guess ill have to wait 7 million years for the official 5.0 release to hit my tablet and hope it addresses the inabilty to write or install to SD
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] blaze82:
No need to wait, downgrade to . 314 with flashtool. Then gain root.... Come back here to update :D

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
i think it's available in Germany already, one of the member here has got his, but he say the stock is limited, they will re-stock it next week or so. One problem with those Ameo is they are not unlock yet, and no one seems to get it at the moment, although some people say they have request the code from Tmobile, but no further news on that.

So if you bought the Ameo there, it might be lock at the moment.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Arya:

Do Ameo is cheaper than Advatnage and U1000?

How much is it?

Do Can unlock it on our network?

tanX
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
I think the Ameo is the cheapest, specially if you sign up 2 years contract with them. At the moment it's lock so you can't use it anywhere else, but i am sure eventually it will be unlock. The official unlock code will cost 99 euro if you request it from T-mobile !!!!!! wow, that a lot
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
Nice is that 479,95 € ? 480 Euros = 630.67200 U.S. dollars I am buying it right away then. Wait is that contract? Whats the phone only cost? or can i not buy it without contract? how about i buy it with contract for 1 year or something. I am sure i can use in with cingular or rogers regardless of being in europe please!!! I think advantage is going to be way too expensive $1200USD. I will mod my ameo with the advantage body pack later on next year. Damn i cant read the german also the english website dont have it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
it's with contract only, at the moment they don't sell without contract so we don't know the price. And also, it's lock to t-mobile germany....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
t-mobile is expandable as far as i know on a traveler package. the rom should be in english and not in deutch. i need one immediately. i am going to make arrangements if it is available in paris.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
i am 90% sure that is not true, there is no english rom for it, and we have not seen any unit running english rom as well. It will be simlock to t-mobile and it will not be in english.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
Thats fine. It will change networks once its moved around abroad. I think UK is going to be Orange/O2. USA is going to be CINGULAR and canada is going to be Rogers. Thats all i know. Thats how its been, when i had Cingular i could go around the world on a roaming plan. Pretty cheap and affordable.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
internationally roaming fees are so much higher then the device itself......
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
yup i agree. i am not going for the ameo and they wont give it to me either. i have changed my mind and going for the advantage x7500.
