wouldn't a metal cover interfere with the radios?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] amirparto:
The quality of original back cover is too bad :( it's like egg shell :|
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Mv101:
They make the back cover out of plastic so the NFC can work properly. So if you use NFC, having a metal case would be a bad idea

I have bought my case on the Aliexpress. It is rubber/plastic case with thin aluminium plate on the back.

No problem with NFC, WiFi, GPS and signal strenght.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] drs413:
Yes.. I have one on order :)

on amazon . com search for - Graphic Case Hard Skin Case Cover Pouch - Metal Aluminum Steel Shiny Reflective - Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini i9190 MINI VERSION! -

It is a back cover, not a case despite the wierd description. This is closest I could find. Super cheap and labled as plastic and aluminum so I am hoping its all metal on outside. I agree that the backs are flimbsy.. I have 3 batteries that I constantly switch out and taking it off and on all the time has caused it to crack. Hoping that the metal does not bend. ... we shall see!

[Moto X Q&A] Groid:
Anyone know how to remove the unnecessary 'Explore around you' bar wasting space on every map in Google Maps? I've looked at it and found it useless except in the very rare exception where I do want to explore. I think it should be a menu option or button instead of always wasting space on any map. I would prefer to do without it completely compared to having it waste space on every map.

Anyone know where to download older version of googlemaps (probably 8.4.1), any safe source?

I saw a benchmark that confirms that samsung is planning to release a note 4 with snapdragon 810 CPU and android 5.0 lollipop

Is this true? If so when will it be released?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanalan82:
It's true. But only being released in South Korea. Q1 2015. I would have gladly waited a couple months on upgrading if they would have released this version. They pulled this crap with the s5 and that's why I didn't get it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcobourn:
The benchmark only shows that they are testing an 810 on a Note 4 platform. Where else would they test it? The Note 4 is plenty fast anyhow, so I'm not concerned about it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriotaki:
The note 4 with the SD810 will come only in Korea? Is this 100% sure? ?

I know the note 4 is pretty fast but again SD 810 with a higher clocked GPU? Its awesome! I am going to get my note 4 in january..i hope i can find one with SD 810 in Grecce..

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIR3lly:
Hello all!

I'm an M7 user for almost 2 years and today I bought a used one for my girlfriend.

It came with the Viper one 7.01 rom.

This is way to complicated for my girlfriend and misses some standard stuff that she wants (can't even find the play store on it).

So I decided to get it back to a stock HTC version with Sense 5.5 (and update to 6.0).

I've now been busy a whole night, but I can't seem to get it to work. When using the RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe file, it comes up with an 158 error. And when I try to flash it with fastboot and the Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.401.8.zip file, it gives me error: FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)

I also tried with a Vodafone file (Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.161.1.zip), because the Phone came with a Vodafone bill. But this didn't work either...

I've managed to get it S-OFF with rumrunner and tried it Locked and unLocked. The tampered line is gone.

Here's the getvar all text:

I really have no idea what I should do next.

I just want this Phone to have the latest stock HTC one rom with sense 6.0, nothing more (and preferably future ota updates, if this is even possible).

But untill now I just can't flash any other rom.

I'm probably missing something and really hope one of you have the answer.

Gonna get some sleep now and try more tomorrow...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
flash the 4.19.401.9 firmware first then flash the ruu. Its a well known issue of 4.xx.xxx.x RUUs, you have to flash the firmware first.

also check your MD5 to make sure your ruu isn't corrupted.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIR3lly:
Thanks for your quick reply.

I flashed the firmware, it's now got the dark boot bootloader with firmware 4.19.401.9. But I still can't flash the ruu (exe file with correct md5). Comes back with an error 150.

Phone still boots up normally into Viper One 7.0.1

Also tried a different file download, didn't work.

Tried different computer, didn't work.

I'm gonna try some more stuff, but any help would be appreciated.

EDIT:

Well, I just managed to update with the RUU Zip M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.16_R_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318486_signed_2_4_decrypted.zip" file.

Now to see if I can get it to update to the latest version...

EDIT 2:

SUCCES!!! It installed the ruu fine (with bootloader locked) and it's now updating ota!!! :laugh:

Thanks for the help...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Why? You must flash the firmware that come with the RUU, not a modded firmware with the black bootloader...

With s-off you don't need to relock the bootloader to flash a RUU. Anyway glad to know that your problem is solved.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIR3lly:
Well, I'm not that advanced with flashing and modding bootloaders, firmware and ruu's...

So I searched on the 4.19.401.9 firmware you told me to install and the only one I found was that one with the black bootloader. That's why I used it ;)

Are you saying that if I would have flashed it with the firmware that came with the ruu, it might have worked right away?

But I only had the exe ruu file, so would that mean I had to extract the firmware from it, or download the zip somewhere?

As for locking the bootloader... I understood that if I want to get official HTC ota updates, that it has to be locked. Could have misunderstood, but at least it works great now and my girlfriend is happy as ever.

Hi All

I recently S-OFFed my Australian carrier branded HTC One and have changed the CID to HTC__039 which is the CID for the unbranded Australian version

What i want to know is before i flash (M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__039 / 2.24.980.2 (Australia Unbranded – Thanks to deeevan)) found on HTC1Guru's thread of Stock OTA, RUU and ZIP files

How do i know if i need to downgrade my HBOOT in order to install this backup using CWM? My HBOOT is currently 1.57
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
you should always flash the firmware to match the nandroid when possible
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
So based on the files inside the nandroid backup how do i know if i need to downgrade HBOOT?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
just find the 2.x.980.x firmware regardless of your current hboot

Hboot 1.57 = Firmware 6.x - 5.x - 4.x

Hboot 1.56 = Firmware 4.x - 3.x

Hboot 1.54 = Firmware 2.x

Hboot 1.43 - 1.44 = Firmware 1.x

Those are general recommendations not etched in stone

this my be a bit off topic I am not sure but could someone tell me where to get the patch to allow mp3 ringtones I have been unable to find it on the web.

Thanks,

Yonu
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yair12:
you don't need a patch - put the mp3 file in windows folder and choose the ringtone you want from the phone setting screen.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yonu:
I have tryed that however it doesn't allow me to choose it as a ringtone
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yonu:
any sugesstions on what may not be installed?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
Probably nothing. Put the files in \windows\rings, that's where mine had to be for the system to use them.

I did notice that if the 'ring' is shorter than the amount of time the phone will ring before passing the call to VM, the sound file doesn't repeat, at least it didn't with one of the mp3's I installed.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yonu:
tryed that for instance the cingular ring tone is in windows\rings however it isn't even an option i ran a regeditor on it and it says the rings folder ins windows\rings
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yonu:
hey I got it i thought what the hell and flash the Bios ROM up to a newer version and they work now

Thanks again
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yonu:
mainly cause I prefer to simnmply edit the mp3 and copy it ove that way if i want i can use the whole sone and still have the mp3 to listen to if wanted thank you for the suggestion thoughr
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
And why spend money on a utility that isn't even needed for the BA's, much less at all?

There is a web site that will convert just about any sound format into another format, including the qcp format, for those phone that can't play mp3 files natively.

It also converts other file types (spreadsheets, archives, etc).

URL I leave as an exercise for the reader.

Plus there are ways using free software to do the conversion as well.

I just got my phone reset to stock by the techs at my local Sprint Store.

The phone is running:

4.4.2

Can anyone assist me in the right direction?

You must have root or custom recovery to do this. Now if you don't need your information included then the stock Odin file is what you want.

I've got a Rooted (and Bumped) G3 that will absolutely not get out of PTP mode. I've frozen system updates, Unfrozen it, rebooted, tried 30 different USB plugs.

I can't even get the phone to go to MTP mode without being connected.

Help!
[Verizon LG G3] ulbador:
I actually had this EXACT problem. I was convinced my phone was fried until I installed a Lollipop ROM and it worked.

Turns out something is broken/conflicts in the stock ROM from one of the last two updates (probably 11b). I couldn't even select MTP mode, it would just select whatever the prior mode was (that includes mounting that stupid Verizon installer forever)

I was never able to fix it on the stock ROM. I installed Jasmine and never looked back
[Verizon LG G3] eallan:
Thanks. For the advice. It's incredibly annoying.

How are you liking Jasmine? What's the main difference with it?
[Verizon LG G3] ulbador:
I'm on the 4.0 Version and it's practically perfect. It's 100% stock (which eliminates the problems with Bluetooth/QI Charging/etc from the other ROMs) but completely debloated. You can choose to install all or none of the GApps/VerizionCrap/LGCrap/AmazonCrap/etc
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
I don't know anything about the issues you guys are having, as I've never had them myself, however, just for future reference and to avoid further potential confusion to others, there is no "11B" update. There is a 10B (initial public launch version), an 11C (version that blocked root exploit), and a 12B (the version which is the latest, and which added VoLTE). Just commenting because I've seen a lot of posts incorrectly referencing 11B, and trying to avoid confusion for those who may be newer to the forums. :)
