[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITWorxTechRepairs:
Hi all,

Bought in a HTC one M* on Voda with damaged screen and stuck in bootloop, figured it may just be the battery, so ordered a new one but no joy, still not getting past the bootscreen - HTC Logo.

Now i got it into the Bootloader but dont know what to do from here..

Ive gone into recovery but it goes goes off and does nothing

Ive gone to Factory Reset and it attempts to do it but nothing

Flashing software is the next option i guess, never done it on HTC before..I

Is sd card the best way.?

What Firmware will i flash.?

Phone is locked to Vodafone IRL

Ive attached a pic of the boot screen

Thanks
[G3 General] Japultra:
I was very impressed with what Samsung had to offer. The phone looks gorgeous, the camera performs absolutely incredible in low light (based on their own comparison with the 6+), and they've finally sped up TouchWiz!

Other things I was really impressed with were

1) Exynos 7420 - First 14nm FinFET processor should offer better battery life and performance - Initial Antutu scores were over 69,000!

2) Real-time HDR on both front and back cameras

3) Wireless charging that supports both standards

4) Faster DDR4 memory

5) Faster storage memory (up to 2.7x faster than the current standard)

6) Samsung Pay and the support for MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) which will allow it to be backwards compatible with nearly all merchants and terminals

I'm sure I'm probably missing a few key points, but has the S6 made you want to switch?
[G3 General] deepmanu:
Hummm... Touchwiz might be faster now, but it still is touchwiz. The price for a new S6 is just to high.

If i remove money from the equation... i would wait for the LG G4!
[G3 General] Drawk182:
is there any news of the lg g4? i would like to see if it's gonna be a monster too
[G3 General] rayiskon:
I've read a few days ago that LG and Apple signed a deal with Samsung for those DDR4 RAM components. I'd also bet that LG will go with the faster nand (knowing that they like to keep up with Samsung). The S6 really looks snappy, but i'm not convinced it's the touchwiz/Exynos optimizations, i'd say it's because of better I/O with both the faster nand and DDR4 RAM. What i mean to say, you can bet that the LG G4, if LG decides to use the same components, might also be that snappy.

The camera is another story. The camera app launch speed, quick shutter speed, tracking autofocus, low light performance with that f1.9 lens.. it looks promising.

On the other hand, despite that newer AMOLED displays look really good (note 4 and now the S6) , but i still prefer LCD. I don't like the idea of possible burn-in issues (something i faced with my galaxy nexus back in the day).

Also, with Samsung Knox, and Exynos SoC's, i'm not sure how much development from the xda community will it get, it will always have "debloated" versions of the stock ROM, but everything other than that will be buggy.

I'd say wait a bit, more phones with similar specs and technologies (and possibly lower price tag) will emerge (Chinese and non Chinese).
[G3 General] stiggy2012:
Screen is too small for my taste, but the Note 5 might be a good shout if the rumors of Touchwiz not being dog slow prove true.
[G3 General] stuclark:
The LG G4 will be anounced in the next couple of months - I'll wait to see what the spec of that phone is before deciding.
[G3 General] ailima:
I just moved from my beloved but ridiculously buggy-slow g3 to a Note 4. I miss the back controls...but other than that, not much else. I've had so many lagging/rebooting android devices now and the Note just doesn't. It'll take a lot to make me go back to LG or HTC in the near future.
[G3 General] pesho00:
NO SD Card :( for me it is deal bracker

Faster memory/storage is a treath, faster CPU - i never feal lack of performance?

Smaler body is also nice (one handed operation with G3 while riding my bike is Chalenging ;) )

Small batery - we need to see how long it'll last?

at the end i am not changing (not to S6) for now ;)
[G3 General] android-incredible:
no sd card and no removable battery either... a big no no...
[G3 General] Ferindel:
No sd card slot, non removable battery, 800€ for the 64gb version. Oh hell no.
[G3 General] superbonto:
QHD with ultra powerful processor, without removable battery..? i fear the battery life would take a hit

and the lack of microSD slot...

and Exynos...

yep, too many dealbreakers. won't consider as an option unless G4 is overall a worse package.
[G3 General] Yaminashi:
Nope, I personally hate the idea of a screen degrading to the point it basically damages itself (burn in)

Until AMOLED technology has advanced far enough that it no longer suffers from such issues, I'll stick with IPS displays.

On top of that, I'm not sure I'm sold on any phone with 2 panes of glass. Sure if must feel awesome in hand, but just the thought of it being so delicate at such a high price..no thanks.

Short answer: No, I'll stick with my G3. I could care less if the S6 camera is better
[G3 General] gsw5700:
No removable battery or SD card, WTF, major,mistake , batteries really need replacing after a year, Doh
[G3 General] airflyer737:
Yep one possibility to secure future customers for the S7 :D
[G3 General] ijeff:
I'm leaning more toward the HTC One M9. From the demos so far, the S6 still has a laggier interface. Not as bad as in the past, but still a bit more of a delay.
[G3 General] kinfolk248:
I quickly scanned the thread and failed to notice anyone say anything about the bootloader, WHICH WILL BE LOCKED
[G3 General] olafsand:
I have g3 too, but my microsd slot is empty and I never moved battery :D
[G3 General] magikmichael:
And exynos processor. Soooo not many custom roms like cm12 etc.
[G3 General] Sharpshooterrr:
It's amoled, so no, thanks.
[G3 General] nodekeeper:
I might leave the LG G3 ...... for the LG G4!

Though I might would be tempted by a note 5 (if there was such a thing) if it had an even bigger screen, because I really love phablets. But let's be honest, the price would likely be $800+ so once again the LG would likely win with whatever offering they had based on that fact. Also, the SD card slot is a huge sell point for me on anything.
[G3 General] Japultra:
I'm in the same boat, so the S6 not having these things doesn't affect me at all.
[G3 General] cheetah2k:
How is Exynos a deal breaker, when the 801, 805 and 810 all suffer from massive speed throttling due to an inherent design flaw causing massive amounts of heat build up?

The Exynos is a proven (4000,5000,6000 and now 7000 series Big Little) architecture with many lessons learnt in the Octacore design since it was released in the Galaxy S4.

So many people are naïve and hopeless.. :good:

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Exactly. Having removable battery and SD is a "nice to have" feature but most people who want them, will never actually use these capabilities.

I have both LG G3 and Sony Z3 with 128gb MicroSD cards in them. I have never removed the SD cards, and have never removed the battery from the LG G3 (Sony Z3 is non-removable). I had the 32Gb LG G2 before both of these, and again, never had a desire to want removable SD or battery...
[G3 General] Yaminashi:
Speaking of naive, I believe the comments regarding the exynos processor were in relation to ROM support and development. Not everybody cares about benchmarks and heavy gaming.

So what may not be a deal breaker for you can still be a deal breaker for others.

In regards to removable memory and battery, many people who have/want these features do actually use them. Just because these users arent all on XDA, doesnt mean they don't exist.

Some people need to travel for work and are away from a power source, some people like myself like to put a TV series onto their phones and watch on our lunch break, before bed, on the commute home etc. Yeah these features are nice to have, but are also very useful, even if others have no use for them.

A debate like this could go on and on..
[G3 General] jrtancinco:
Function over hype!!!

I rarely get hyped up over a new product. For some reason, I never got that same tingly feeling over the S6 (or the S5 or the Note4) as I did with the G3. I probably wont use 90% of the new features the S6 has to offer anyway. So yeah I'll stick with my G3 for another year or so.
[G3 General] cheetah2k:
When I bought my LG G2, it came with a 16gb MHL thumb drive (for file transfers) as well as a 10,000mah extended battery pack. Seriously, if you're working away from home and have zero access to a power point (very unlikely unless you're going to Mars) then its a null point - most battery extension packs cost less than spare OEM batteries + external chargers...

I mean fk, 74Million iPhones were sold globally in the last 12 months - surely Apple is onto something lol :laugh:
[G3 General] Japultra:
I would actually have to disagree with you on this. The things that make the S6 exciting are the things that directly affect the core experience of using a phone - faster storage, faster ram, faster processor (all leading to less battery usage), and a superb screen with extremely high pixel density. Then on top of that core experience, you've got a faster and better camera and a very accurate fingerprint sensor. Unless you're someone who doesn't use the camera or lock his phone, I'm fairly certain you would make use of all of these new features.
[G3 General] JohnRM:
What a load of utter crap, above.

So let me this straight, you don't care about unlocked bootloaders, custom ROMs, removable battery, expandable storage, etc..?

Then why are you on XDA ?

Seriously, fingerprint scanner ? Who gives a ****.

Better faster camera ? Got evidence to back that up ?

Better screen ? No. Horses for courses. Some love amoled, some prefer the better natural colours of the G3. To dismiss the G3 screen is pure Samsung fanboyism.

And what about touchwiz? No matter what bs Samsung say about bettering touchwiz, it's still touchwiz. Put lipstick on a pig and it's not going to win Miss World, it's still a pig. And that is your "core experience".

The Exynos is nice but what exactly, besides games, is going to use it and make it feel better than snapdragons ? Stick a few high-end games on the S6 and you'll wish you still had that sdcard option. Add in the overhead from touchwiz and your S6 will still feel like a S5, lol.
[G3 General] onetik:
God you are so naive I don't know why I am even bothering to respond to you. Have you actually used the S6 to dismiss it like that?! And I never found TW to be much different or worse than LG's crap. Over the past 5 years that I have been using smartphones, I can't remember ever buying a sd card or changing the battery. Regarding the performance of the s6, just read the damn reviews or watch some videos, preferably on ur precious g3.
[G3 General] thegregulator:
I know Touchwiz is easy to hate, but it's still infinitely better than LG's UI. People dismiss everything that's good about Samsung phones because they dislike Touchwiz. You can't honestly look at the S6 and tell me you hate everything about it. It probably does have a better, faster camera. The screen is brighter and more crisp. I'm using a G3 right now. The only time I've ever removed my battery was because GUI or whatever LG fancies calling it froze my phone. The Galaxy S6 is a better overall phone for the average consumer in just about every way, as it should be. It's this years tech. You may like the G3 but we're allowed to like the S6.
[G3 General] KaosStorm:
The phone looks sexy as hell, I do like it. My main gripe with it being the lack of SD card support. Contrary to what some people here believe, there are a BUNCH of smartphone owners that do use SD cards, more so in emerging/growing markets or places outside US/Canada where the carriers don't even offer the high capacity versions unless it's an iPhone.

If the G4 doesn't appeal to me, I might consider the S6 edge as my next phone; but I'll wait and see what the next couple of months/a year holds.
[G3 General] JohnRM:
Samsung phones have always been cheap plastic crap, ugly as hell phones. To say touchwiz is anywhere near lg's ui is just laughable. Touchwiz is universally hated by everyone.

The fact that you removed your battery, even once, shows it had a use. If the S6 had the option then you fanboys would be using the same argument with apple owners. Hypocrites.

Better screen ? How the hell would you know that ? Do you have one ? No. So stop with the bs.

The upside is this. You fanboys will buy it then have zero use for XDA, because you'll have a phone that's practically useless on xda, lol. Enjoy your locked bootloaders and zero custom ROMs, along with fixed storage, fixed battery, cheap feel. And all for the bargain of $800, suckers.
[G3 General] barondebxl:
My next phone will be either S6/edge or G4. Going to wait till LG's announcement till I decide. I was fixed on the S6 but I just got the G3 and I like it so much that I have to wait for LG's announcement.
[G3 General] bikrame:
I switch from Samsung devices to LG. And now they dont even have micro sd and removable battery. I am not going back. Bye bye samsung.
[G3 General] jrtancinco:
Exactly! If it's the core experience i'm after, the G3 is already one helluva device. It's got everything I need and delivers how I need it, so buying an S6 now is an bad economic decision for me. I'm sure the S6 is a great and powerful device, and would be a great upgrade if I'm coming from an S2 or something like that. But from a G3 to an S6? Nah I'll pass. About the screen, isn't this one of G3 best selling points? About the fingerprint sensor, like I said, 90% of the “new” features I probably wont use and this is one of them. However, I do agree about your point on the camera, the one on the G3 does suck balls big time, and that is why I still keep my Nokia 808 Pureview as secondary phone / primary imaging device.
[G3 General] onetik:
Just today I brought out my trusty old Nexus 4 to play around with as my G3 charged. And I am surprised how snappy it felt compared to the newer G3. The speed and fluidity is about the same if not better on the Nexus 4 that even I am having a hard time to believe. Tells you a lot about the experience of the G3.
[G3 General] mclairs:
nahz.

not going back to Samsung anymore. their galaxy series are always at a ridiculous price. would rather stay on LG.
[G3 General] Japultra:
Haha, I also have a G3, but I think the hardware improvements in the S6 are worth the upgrade.
[G3 General] JohnnyPhate:
I would wait for next note. I had g3 and went to note 4. Couldn't be happier. Display itself is enough to justify it for me. However I did this because my girlfriend machine washed her ancient xperia so I gave her my almost new g3 which I didnt liked much.
[G3 General] jrtancinco:
Hey, if you got the $$$, why not?
[G3 General] Sachinfan:
I would definitely go with either S6 or M9 in 3 months time. Although G3 is a wonderful phone no doubt, but I got over it pretty quickly unlike my previous phones line M7......
[G3 General] JohnnyPhate:
I went from g3 to snapdragon note 4 and I couldn't be happier. Only downside is that note costs almost twice as much in my country. But that display itself is totally worth it. I'm also worried about note 5 going same direction as s6 so waiting for it might not be the best idea. G3 is OK but overheating and lag connected with it was deal breaker for me. I 100% recommend swapping g3 for note 4.
[G3 General] ShroudOfAgony:
Add SD support and an external battery and I'm in. Otherwise, the specs are pretty impressive but nothing worth the premium for me to switch over.
[G3 General] IaKnightHawke:
Came from SGS 3 to LG G3. Loved the S3 but the deal breaker was the locked boot loader and Samsung implemented installing all apps to the internal memory. A big deal breaker for me since I download and try apps all the time. Staying with my LG G3 and loving the trip.? Gary
[G3 General] ingoljosh:
The specs on the G4 are far more impressive
[G3 General] roc342:
Is anyone else turned off by the fact that the G4 is physically bigger then the G3. That kind of makes wanna stick with the G3. If the S6 gets official CM support I am probably gonna get that. I love the 5.5 screen size the 5.1 on the S6 is a con for me. also.
[G3 General] IamFlynn:
**** YEAH, I hate that the LCD isn't a AMOLED display, making the LG Circle Case a total dump.
[G3 General] Gatito2008:
NEVER!!!! it is like a TOYOTA..
[G3 General] onetik:
I would happily swap my g3 for any phone. The performance of this phone is just plain sad. The ui lags, games lag... laggy everywhere. Last LG phone I am using. Never again.
[G3 General] superbonto:
turns out that S6 has lesser optics than G4.

the snapdragon 808 is not a turn off, especially G4 still retain the SD card slot and removable battery.

and, in my country, G4 offers better overall value than S6 (650 USD vs 730 USD for the 32gb variant)

but the rumor has it that the G4 they would be releasing here is the dual sim variant, so...

fingers crossed.

though G4 would still be my preference over the 2015 flagships (S6, M9, Z3+ or Z4)
[G3 General] rayiskon:
Specs on paper mean nothing, it's the real life/day to day performance that matters.

As much as there is a visible improvement in performance in the G4 vs G3, but LG's software is still not fluid.

On the other hand, there is no perfect phone. S6 suffers from bad battery life, HTC M9 from worse camera performance in comparison to what other flagships offer, etc.. etc.. etc..

Everyone should find a device that suits their needs and stick to it. People have different tastes and criteria.
[G3 General] EL3CTRiC:
No, I don't leave the G3 for the S6.

No SD Card Slot, and the battery kills the phone for me.

At least Knox. It's nothing for me. [emoji52]

[G3 General] iBolski:
Got my G3 back in December and have loved it every minute I've had it so far.

The only way I'd give it up is if I get a G4 for testing purposes. Just received an email from LG asking if I would be interested in receiving a test G4 device to test. I of course said yes, but I still have be chosen to test, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that got this email from LG.

So, that's the only way I'd go to a G4, if I get picked to test it! Otherwise, completely and utterly happy with my G3. Very reliable and I think it only ever rebooted on me once for no reason, and that's probably because I hadn't shut it off in months. I never seem to have to reboot this phone to get performance back. In fact, it is SO rare when performance is bad that I have to reboot it. It's just so reliable, even on the latest Lollipop.

Battery life is excellent for me. I'm getting the same if not better battery life that I got on my previous phone, Motorola RAZR HD. And that phone was excellent and I had the bootloader unlocked (for real via the bootloader exploit that existed before it was patched, then reintroduced with a KK OTA, and then re-patched. LOL Motorola. Nice QA job there!)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SWFlyerUK:
Hi folks,

Just thought I'd share an experiance I've had this year with the above device.

Some of you probably saw I posted a help question relating to a sleep of death issue.

All of a sudden, after restarting the tablet, it wouldn't turn on. The reset button was useless as were the steps given to me by Sony support. My tablet was a complete brick; just a paperweight - no vibration, LED was dead, nothing...

I contacted Sony regarding a repair on several occasions but never heard back so I chucked the tablet under my bed and with a discount code for the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact in hand, I ordered one as a replacement to my Z2 Tablet.

I've checked the Z2 Tablet once or twice over the past 2 months and still, absolutely nothing, until this morning....

When searching for a pair of headphones, I remember I'd left the above tablet there, so in a last ditch attempt, I tried switching it on. Nothing. I then proceeded to plug the USB cable on and to my shock the LED notification light turned red.

I left the device on charge for a few minutes when the screen fired up and the tablet started. As if nothing had ever been wrong with it, the tablet now works just like it used to. Weird or what?

So after 2 months of being dead, it's suddenly alive again.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] bacon612:
This appears to be the same issue many others, myself included, are having. Seemingly there is a fair amount of these z2 tabs with this issue. People are reporting success getting their z2 tab main boards replaced under warranty if you haven't unlocked your bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SWFlyerUK:
My device is completely stock. No root or boot loader unlock and has never had a repair.

I find it strange that after two months of being completely dead, it suddenly sprung back into life!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] bacon612:
In my case it was a few hours and it came back. Point being, there is clearly something wrong with a bunch of these z2 tabs.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] qrn:
Are you 100% sure it was completely dead? Have you tried e.g. booting to Fastboot mode?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SWFlyerUK:
Yep, was completely dead. Wouldn't boot into Fastboot, couldn't repair via PC Companion or anything which is why I'm surprised it's suddenly sprung back to life.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] martinbowden:
I was sure mine was the only one with problems it still randomly reboots it self it's been in to Sony and they say that can find a problem but in Sony diagnosis is said it had reboot 9 times in 7 days not sure what to do with it

[Android General] Tidushtc:
I'm android developer and I work on eclipse and android studio. Until now, I've just developed conectivity related aplications, but I haven't focused on doing cool design things.

No I have to develop some kind of car cluster, which means designing things like speedometer, battery indicator, etc... with a nice visual grade. I have never developed games, so I'm totally new in using this kind of engines.

So I would appreciate any help on which tools could I use for this, and I'm open on any suggestion you could make.

Thanks.
