The Verizon version is actually supposed to be SIM unlocked out of the box (and verified by various Verizon owners). Why the OP is getting the error message, is a mystery to me.
[HTC Droid DNA] yukongt300ex:
I have HBOOT-1.57.0000 with OS-4.09.605.1. I was trying to get it S-ON and locked so I could get it replaced. I now have S-ON but I forgot to flash lock bootloader zip before running these commands:

fastboot oem writecid VZW__001 (2 underscores)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot getvar cid (verify your stock CID)

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

fastboot reboot-bootloader

It says "Relocked" instead of locked. I have tried moonshine, rumrunner, and every RUU I can find but they all give an error. Could someone please tell me how I can get it to say locked again? I will be charged for the phone soon if it is not returned. Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] dottat:
No ruu will change that. The only think you could do is sunshine s-off it and fix that after rooting it using the adb command to "lock". Then turn s-on. It would cost you $25. If the phone boots, I would personally probably just send it as is. Its s-on and locked and stock. What can they say about that?

This ruu will run but will not change that.

My father in law has just had his screen replaced as he had a slight accident with dropping a after shave bottle on the screen. He has had the screen replaced and for some reason when I call comes through its like the screen is froze can't do anything, also when you go to wake the phone up sometimes he has to double press the button at the back to unlock it can anybody she'd any light on this as to me the screen is responding when it's unlocked as I can make calls swipe through app draw etc. Here is what I have tried so far,

1.factory reset

2.calbraoted the screen

3.turned security for pin.

That is the liquid damage. I believe nothing would help.

Maybe if you send it on repair they could figure what is causing (some hardware fault probably).

Thanks for the reply, liquid damage the after shave bottle didn't smash or did no aftershave touch the screen or the phone.

Check different screen. Was it panel or full panel and frame replacement?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:

It could be the panel fault.

I am using the below code for downloading an already uploaded sqlite db file from google drive to the data/data/packagename/databases folder, but when the method completes, I am seeing a db corruption warning message logged in logcat and also all the data on the device for the app is overwritten and shows up blank, upon opening the app.

mfile = Drive.DriveApi.getFile(mGoogleApiClient, mResultsAdapter.getItem(0).getDriveId());

When the method GetFileFromDrive completes, a db corruption shows up on LogCat and all the existing data on the app's datanase file (sqlite db) is gone.

Please help, as I have verified that the drive uploaded sqlite db file is correct and well formed, by downloading the same and opening it up in Sqlite Browser. It's the download from drive that is not working.

I recently got a smartband talk, and although I really like the device, when connected to my phone, the device prevents the phone from going into deep sleep, and that in turn causes serious battery drain on my Z3. The phone barely makes it a day. I really want to use the device, but not sure I can stomach the battery drain. Any ideas how to fix this?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] torden:
I'm in the same situation... I think the only way is turn bluetooth off when you want to save battery :\
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] artlov:
I do not have any difference of battery life with this smartband.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Apithanos:
just switch off the location and the all needed things for the lifelog. i find it useless
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] StElmo:
I had severe drain, and after checking it out with BetterBatteryStats I found that I was getting a serious amount of wakelock occurrences that were not evident with other BT devices. Take a look at Android issue id=87778 on the code dot google dot com (I can't post URLs yet :P).

Basically the resolution is to delete or freeze a bunch of apps that have access to Bluetooth, and then slowly restore them until you find the culprit. GasBuddy has been a typical one, but I had to freeze six or more to see good results. However, my drain is almost non-existent now.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Perioisis:
If you want to same battery life before buying this good smartband talk, you must handle wakeup or delete lifelog.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MrDewitt:
Hi all,

I recently received an unlocked 32gb Fire Phone. I searched these forums often to see what the sub-community of Fire Phone users were up to.

Naturally, the first things I did when I received the phone were making it feel more like android by use of the tutorials provided here.

Following the step-by-step instructions for the most recent version of Fire OS, I ran into minor issues with google services.

These experiences are my own and don't reflect other users. I am providing this information for educational purposes and maybe so that someone can in fact help me out.

1 - Google Services forced me to update after I sideloaded it onto the device. Apps were locked without updating.

By doing this, every so often the device likes to alert me that my google account failed to authenticate. It's nonsense, because google play store and play music run flawlessly. In fact, I get updates via e-mail when ever I make a purchase.

2 - Gmaildoes NOT work. I'm not sure how users got it to work but it does NOT work on the device I am currently using. It tells me my name and password are incorrect and then I receive the "failed to..." message. I downloaded a decent replacement from the play store.

3 - Google maps froze after a half a block. I was forced to use Fire Phone's Maps app, which was almost perfect on an hour drive. No hiccups, lag, or freezes.

4 - Making phone calls makes the screen go black. I could not hang up or see my calls. If I unlocked the phone to get to the dialer while on the phone, it would reset to black. Quick fix was going to settings > accessibility > power button turns off call.

5 -From midnight to noon, the device was used on and off. Remember, Fire OS is running, but google ui and services are running as well. Google is taking over 40% of the battery life while Fire OS takes above 25%.

Midnight - 100% (Idle)

2 am - 3 am - 81% (Social Networking)

3 am - 5am - 61% (Idle)

5 am - 7 am - 59% (Idle)

7 am - 8 am - 51% (Browsing)

8am - 11 pm - 20% (Idle)

11pm - 11:20 - 18% (Streaming Tunes)

11:20am - 1 pm - 8% (Idle)

1pm - 1:57pm - 33% (Charging)

During this, light texting to and from occurred, but rarely during idling.

I text often and receive a ton of e-mails so I do worry this will be worse as time progresses and the device ages.

Reviews are unanimous in describing the battery life as mediocre, but seeing as there is a ton of tech packed in, it doesn't bother me entirely. I knew what I was getting myself into when I clicked buy, so I'm not offended as some people tend to get.

My questions to my findings are :

How do I get gmail to work?

How can I see the dialer when I require it?

Is there a method to promote battery longevity?

Do other users have similar findings when using Fire OS without google services?
[Amazon Fire Phone] lu1gj3s:
I can only comment on stock Fire Phone functionality as I actually bought it for the Amazon ecosystem and UI, but battery life was an issue for me as well at first.

I haven't been able to narrow it down exactly, but it's something to do with location services. I have simply turned the location services off altogether and my battery lasts twice as long now, in fact, it lasts as long as my Nokia Lumia 735 did. I usually get up at 7 in the morning and to sleep at 11/12 in the evening. With the Fire Phone I have about 25% left at 11/12, even after watching some Netflix or Instant Video :)

I don't know how Microsoft does it, but I always have location services on on Windows Phone devices without noticing any battery drain whatsoever. On the Fire Phone all is fine now and when idle it doesn't drain any battery at all, or <1% per hour :)

I did also notice the battery drain from Fire OS, and it seems to be down to the Kinesis_service, which is an AWS stream for data. No doubt to do with linking everything to Amazon's services. Please note as well that I use auto-brightness too without issues.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Xyth:
On the screen going black on a phone call, my guess is you have a screen protector on this phone. Its blocking the proximity sensor. Take the protector off and see if that resolves your issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] robocopvn:
Yeah, I've got it but Its very hard to see where is the proximity sensor located. Normally in the other phones we will see it if we look close enough. However, it's almost invisible on the amazon fire phone.

And after a hard-looking few minute. I find it locates just about 1mm under the front facing camera (Using the sensor checking and check around haha)

However, most of the amazon fire phone screen protector now doesn't have the hole in this position. And I really want to use one to protect my screen.

How dumb are the screen protector manufacturers ? I may try to put a hole on this using the paper-hole-punch. Just don't know if it works ...

and with 3.6.8 and low motion (turn off all) my fire gives a very good battery performance !
[Amazon Fire Phone] MrDewitt:
Several things fixed

Wonderful responses everyone.

I keep location services off at all times unless GPS is being used. I am a stickler for turning it off!

At the time of my post, I was not using a screen protector. I was however using the cheap plastic that surrounded the phone, which became dirty in one day. That area was smudged enough to block the proximity sensor. When my case arrived, I put it on, and the screen is flawless during calls.

As for battery performance. I now went under 24 hours of battery life and have screenshots as evidence. There was a memory leak on my phone somewhere and that stopped! I did nothing to prevent or fix it. The apps that were consuming as much ram as they were are not any more, even under extreme use. I am impressed. Google services went from 40% usage to a miniscule 3%! I did nothing to change anything. So far, my phone has gone through three separate charges since use. After the second charge, for some reason, the phone works so well.

Still would love to know how to get gmail and maps to function correctly.
[Amazon Fire Phone] robocopvn:
Google service runs hard at the first time to sync so many things in google account to your device, I suppose.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hoahongxanh:
Maybe! When I install google now laucher, it also drains the battery life time so much.:confused:

Hi All,

I've recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900K) the Korean version, and I brought it to Belgium, where I use Mobistar. Everything works fine, But overtime I'm Connected to LTE, the internet doesn't work. This may sound confusing, but basically, Mobile data works perfectly fine, i can use 3g, 2g, but when i get LTE, it says LTE on top of the screen, but i can't use the internet. I have checked the LTE band, and Mobistar uses LTE 1800(band 3) which the SM-G900K is compatible with. I have read somewhere that the firmware can be blocking this, and I installed using Odin the Android L for it, and i do not know if that is it, but anyways Help would be appreciated ASAP.

Thank You

I have the Fire TV Stick all set up and awesome-ized. I have one issue though. There are a few Fire TV apps that I would love to have for the stick, but without access to a Fire TV, I can't migrate them over. One app inparticular, Minecraft PE, is a must have. I have the app from Google Play, but it doesn't have remote functionality like the Fire TV version does. I can easily purchase the app through amazon on my computer, but have no way to access it without a "compatible" device. How can I get access to Fire TV apps I've purchased, without having one? Stupid Amazon should just make it compatible with the stick, as it obviously works on it. Ugg

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DroidsEATapples86:
Most of the screen protecors I have used have been garbage. I hate the peel ones becauase some small piece of dust always seems to get trapped under them. The ones where you use water to stick them are pretty cool, but I haven't found any that are amazing. What I'm looking for is a screen protector that isn't a fingerprint magnent, but also one that is easy to install. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 10507:
Have you tried note 3 tempered glass screen protector? They are amazing and easy to apply.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DroidsEATapples86:
I have a tempered glass screen that I haven't put on yet. They sound good, but I'm worried about two things: the screen being a fingerprint and smudge magnet and if a case would be able to go over the phone with a tempered glass screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DroidsEATapples86:
I have one that I haven't used yet because I am worried about a few things:

Will it attract fingerprints and smudges and will a case be able to fit the phone with that particular screen protector?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] devilsdouble:
I can highly recommend the Nillkin 9H tempered screen protector. It costs around ₹800 here in my country (so should be around 12-13 USD/10 EURO) and it is an extreme value for money product. I really love mine.

Finger print magnet? I don't know! All the hard type screen protectors catch finger prints and smudges, I think, but I won't call it to the extent of being a magnet. With any tempered screen protector one thing a person should do, clean it whenever you get a chance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ShadowLea:
If you're truly worried about fingerprints you may want to consider buying an oleophobic coating kit. It's a liquid/gel based coating that is fingerprint resistant. It's already applied to phones in the factory by default, but it wears off.

Most cases have no problem with tempered glass screen protectors.

Spigen is really good. I think they also have a fingerprint resistant one.

Hi!

I am using Ubuntu Touch (15.04) Build 57 on my nexus 4.

Im using Ubuntu touch since a couple of weeks now but there is one thing that is really annoying. There is an immense lag when swiping from the welcome screen. Sometimes it takes 3-4 seconds until something happens. I noticed that this is most of the time when the standard browser app is running.... is this a known problem?

I tested with many apps running (Camera, Contacts, Phoneapp, Email App Dekko, Message App, System Settings, etc....) except the browser - the phone is fast and the experience is nice, but as soon as the browser is runnning, the phone is barely usable.... and really slow. The browser itself is okay when it is running... Very Strange...

Does anyone has suggestions what i can do? Is there an alternative browser i can test?

Thanks a ton for helping!

Is this phone worth getting or should I look at getting the next HTC device slated to come out. I have had good luck with HTC devices but love my N7 also.

Pop a Nano sim in and your good to go. I have one for the past week and have no issues. Everything works including NFL network for $5 a month. Get them to send you a Nano sim free (tell them you are getting HTC M8) once you get it you will have to call them to activate it. They will try on the Nexus IME but will have no luck. Have them shutdown your old sim from current device and activate new sim on current device. Pop it in and your ready to go.
