[General Questions and Answers] my1stSmartPhone:
CyanogenMod 12'a Apps Ops / Privacy Guard has a "Data Change" permission for some apps. I'm doing my due diligence by going through all apps native CM 12 apps and setting permissions to "Always ask" if it doesn't make sense. However, there is a permission called "Data change", listed (for example) for the Dialer app. I've googled until I'm blue, but haven't found anything on it except for the very a vague possible connection to use of data, presumably on a connection (not clear if it was cell or WiFi). Can anyone clarify this or point to an online resource that does? (Better yet, an online resource that lays out what all possible permissions are?)

yes or no? i have iphone 5s

i was thiking about buying galaxy 6.. but then i understood i don't care about benchmarks/heavy games

i want a phone that smooth and great camera..

In my country samsung 6 will cost 907, and LG G3 costs 480 dollars.

IF i will buy LG G3, i will buy LG G4 only if it's worth upgrade

Pondering the same... Samsung galaxy s 6 would've been great if it included a removable battery. I like to know whether I can use a phone long term without fear of the battery dying.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaminashi:
This is my experience with the phone so far. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and I don't have many negatives to complain about.

I came from a Nexus 5 and I was quite reluctant to buy a phone with a heavy skin on top of the android OS.

First of all, you will really appreciate how LG was able to fit a 5.5" screen into a phone that is not as large as other 5.5" phones. It is still a fairly large phone, but not to the point where it's difficult to use.

Secondly, the lollipop update has been pretty great. It feels snappier and smoother than it did on kitkat. I don't think the phone is as snappy as the S6 since it has an older processor, but I don't personally feel the quad HD screen affects the processor and graphics whatsoever. On top of that, the G3 still has one of the most pixel dense displays on the market, even being almost a year old.

If you are concerned about not being able to replace the battery, the G3 is still a great option as most manufacturers seem to be going with sealed-in batteries, unless you go with the Note series.

As mentioned earlier, I don't have many negatives to complain about other than the screen being dimmer than other displays, but that's just me nitpicking because honestly it isn't a big deal to me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ailima:
I've had the opposite experience from Yaminashi. I've had the G3 since it first came out. I have not had a smooth experience. It was livable, but barely. I just moved to something else. The thing I miss the most about the g3 are the buttons on the back.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitty1990:
I would say no this phone is one of the worst I have owned, it heats up so much and performance is so slow compared to other phones. They should have made the screen 1080p and it would have been great.

Why not just grab a well-crafted ROM instead of those half-assed attempts such as gravitybox and CM?

I'm running Euphoria and it's been pretty much flawless, with a couple xposed modules running as well. A custom ROM installation doesn't necessarily preclude a bit of xposed micromanagement.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durpflip:
there's no such thing as a "well-crafted ROM",it's still AOSP when you rid of all the facelifting and the fancy features. i've no special education for android devices,but i've used well over 20 different ROMs with the same kernel for different devices and all of them looked and felt the same. i never understood why people empathize that only ROMs make the difference.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flipz77:
I see your point and I agree, in fact I was just suggesting to stay away from CM and GravityBox. I wasn't looking for differences between AOSP ROMs as I've tried my fair share as well and even if they're not that different they're always more reliable than a CM eternal-nightly or an ugly xposed patchwork.

Had this bug the other time, only way to fix it is by factory reset the device and reflash the rom, its a bug that was present in android v4.3, but fixed in v4.4+.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Go to the Battery details in your settings as tap the mm-qcamera-daemon app the details will appear see if you have option to force stop, disable, delete the app start do force stop and see if it works as it may affect the camera itself so wouldn't disable or delete it.

The issues in 4.4.3 I think it was and mainly affected the Nexus but is was caused by 3rd party apps that access the camera, I don't think the specific app was identified but if you have installed apps such as Skype, Snapchat, Instagram remove them to see if the problem goes away completely, I would remove them all then install them back one at a time to try and identify which one is causing it that's if you have these type of apps installed.

If you are rooted then install Titanium Backup and see if the app appears in the list and freeze it, I think you would need to purchase TB to get this option.

Some things for you to try before you have to do a factory reset.

S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

Extract out firmware.zip from that OTA zip (with 7-zip)

then you can flash this firmware in RUU mode (but you need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On)

Later .. you can check software update and accept OTA to 4.20.661.2

how would i flash a firmware in RUU mode? you mean like renaming it to some weird name like PG.... and placing it in root of sdcard and going in fasboot? or is it something else because tbh i have never heard of flashing something in RUU mode

thanks for your help, really appreciate it.

EDIT: I just found out i can go to RUU mode with "fastboot oem rebootRUU".

so i can flash the firmware with "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"

thanks again for all your help guys
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You found it ;)

1. Make sure you restore the 3.34.661.4 backup first and reboot

2. Boot to bootloader

3. relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock

4. flash the firmware in RUU mode

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <---- again for the 2nd time

fastboot reboot

5. check software update

6. accept, download, install

7. done

Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 if you want to flash a custom ROM

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.

I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Thanks for the reply...

It was a while back that I was working on it, I know I got some error messages but I can't remember anymore what they were. I was thinking it had to do with either my variant or hboot version that caused many of the ROMs to fail on me.

I did find some ruu links for Canadian variants on here, but those links are all dead now. Yes I relocked it to try to run an ruu, then couldn't find one. I guess I did that kind of backwards.

The computer I was using to do this I gave to my dad so I need to get fastboot and driver's installed on my laptop now to try this again. First thing I will do is fastboot getvar and post up the results minus the IMEI and serial number.

I used to be better at this but when I got the OnePlus 5 I stopped bothering to root and install ROMs. Now I've forgotten most of what I barely knew.

At this point whatever is going to be easiest to get it working again. It there are no ruu available anymore I guess I'll have to unlock the bootloader again, install TWRP again and find a compatible rom again. Preferably something stable, doesn't have to be up to date.

Thanks for the help, I will try to get the info needed ASAP and go from there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I'm not having much luck so far. I followed the tutorial, downloaded fastboot, java, adb drivers, etc. when I try to use any fastboot commands from c:/android (where I have fastboot located) it says fastboot isn't recognized as an internal or external command. I'm not sure what I've done wrong, I unzipped it in that folder. Also I'm not sure if I'm going to have to download htc sync manager from htc's website (I remember there used to be other drivers available so you didn't have to download that whole program) but anyways there are no links to download on the page where you're supposed to download htc sync manager.

I assume it shouldn't be giving me the fastboot error I'm getting even if I don't have the proper drivers yet. I can try to find drivers if I can at least get fastboot working in the first place. Part of me doesn't miss messing with this stuff, but if I hadn't stopped it wouldn't be so difficult to figure it out again now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is usually just a symptom of not issuing your command from the correct directory. It needs to happen from the folder that contains fastboot.exe

Easy shortcut to do that, with your Windows File Explorer window open in the correct folder (containing fastboot.exe), press Shift + Right Mouse Button. In the popup menu that appears, select "Open command prompt here". Then once command prompt window pops up, try fastboot getvar all

If still not working, drivers may in fact be the problem. Yu can get HTC Sync Manager from here: https://www.htc.com/us/software/htc-sync-manager/

It is not so much HTC Sync Manager you need, but it will install the drivers for your phone.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I think you're right. Every time I extracted the zip it creates it's own folder with the . Exe in it. When I tried to change the directory to that one it says I'm missing an adb.something.dll file. Same when I moved the fastboot exe out of the folder into c:/Android. Would that have anything to do with the driver's?

The phone is connecting to the computer because it's showing fastboot USB when I connect it now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Can't remember if the dll error is drivers or not.

You can try one of the fastboot/adb installers like this one: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

And/or install HTC Sync. There isn't any harm in doing so. You can always uninstall Sync itself, and the HTC drivers will still be installed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I will try that one tonight. HTC sync doesn't seem to be available to download on HTC website anymore. The page is there but no download link. Although I should check if it shows up on my phone browser instead of the PC.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
So using that minimal fastboot you linked and finding a different link to download htc sync for the drivers worked. I have the bootloader unlocked again and it booted right into TWRP 2.7.1.0 which was still apparently installed. Should I update it to the latest 2.8.5 or whatever it is? Would that affect compatibility with different roms?

Forgot to ask, what rom are you running these days? I see lots of options, I'm kind of busy to be reading each of the threads for hours like I used to before deciding on one. I'm not a flashaholic anymore, just want a stable phone to play music with and use the ir blaster, maybe an extra Google home device to control lights around the house.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
New problem, which i think is related to the issues I had which led me to try to go back to stock. I forgot one of the main issues was that storage wasn't working at all either on internal or external. I couldn't download anything, take pictures or video etc. Despite the fact that I thought I wiped everything, once I unlocked the bootloader again, I thought maybe a fresh install of twrp would help, so I flashed the 2.8.5 I had downloaded. I accidentally hit reboot and it ended up booting up lineage os16 just the way I had left it. I transferred another rom and gapps to an sd card and put it in the phone, booted back into recovery and attempted to wipe and it says cannot mount /cache. Basically anything I try to do in recovery it gives the same errors about not being able to mount /cache. I found a post where someone had the same error message and they were told to flash the stock recovery and format cache partition then flash twrp again. No other details were given. Does this sound right? I don't remember how to go back to stock recovery, but I will look into that next if it's the only option. Thanks again for all the help.
