[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikshot:
Hello,

I have a HTC One m8 International model running stock Rom lollipop. Is there a way to disable system write protection? Every time an app tries to write something in system, the phone reboots. I know about wp_mod but it is for android 4.4.4 and I don't know if it can be used on the stock Rom. Is there any solution to this? I don't want to flash a custom Rom just because of this...

Thank you in advance!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You can flash custom kernel like ElementalX for example, no need to install custom ROM
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikshot:
Does the kernel affect my daily usage in any way? If I want to go full stock, can I find the original kernel here , on xda?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No idea as I don't use custom kernel only own modded stock kernel.

You can make a backup of your stock kernel before you install the custom one.

If you go full stock for OTA purpose, you don't need to revert to stock kernel.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you look through the thread for the wp_mod, it says that the mod is version specific (so a 5.0 ROM will need the corresponding 5.0 mod, the 4.4.4 one won't work). It also says near the end of that thread, you can pull the boot.img from a corresponding custom ROM (similar base) and flash it to your phone to disable write protection (the kernels from custom ROMs have the mod applied).

Guys, if you want others to help you, please include some more details about your device, for example your Android version. The best way to get help is to include a log file. Search for "How to logcat" here on XDA and you will find a good tutorial about how to grab log files.

Please note that the installation of Xposed for Android 5.x (aka Lollipop) is currently only possible via custom recovery.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
Hi All,

My son bought a Note 4 for me from his friend who went out of contract and no longer needed his Note 4. It is a white NOTE 4. We already got a T-MOBILE account for this white phone...with the IMEI but it turns out I do not like the white color of this phone. His friend offered to just take back the phone and says I can buy a Charcoal Black 32 GB Note 4 from the store instead.

Now my question is: do I have to call T-Mobile and have them register a new IMEI number to the same SIM card from the older white phone? Or can I just instantly use this new sim card without informing them of the new phone's IMEI?

Thank you

Jack
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftydl:
No need to call, your service is tied to the SIM card and not the phone. Just move the SIM card over. If you buy a new device, they charge you a $15 SIM kit anyway for a replacement card. You can tell them to use the existing SIM otherwise they will activate the new one and move your service over.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
Hi Nifty,

Thank you for a quick reply! Pardon my lack of knowledge as I have always been on Verizon (CDMA) and with them it's like a chain and dagger sort of system with always calling in, feeding them IMEI numbers etc through the years then waiting 72 hours for the phone service to activate.

I always thought the SIM card had the IMEI of a device/phone linked to it? Is this not the case?

So basically I can just pop in the SIM and it won't have me "activate" the device or call in etc? To clarify: this SIM card was already activated for that White Samsung Galaxy Note 4 of my friend's son. I just want to switch it over to another Note 4 from T-Mobile that is black color
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipq88:
Yes. Just pop in the sim card and it will work. Imei number is on the phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
hi

but isn't the sim or my account registered to the old phone's IMEI number?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
Bumping this. I am sure anyone with T-Mobile can help me out here before the week starts. :o

T-Mobile Chat gave me this answer
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipq88:
I don't understand what more you want. 2 of us and a tmobile agent already told you to just insert it and it's going to work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absinthesummer:
That's the beauty of GSM, just pop in the sim for the carrier you want to use in the phone you want to use and you're good to go!

I hope the op enjoys the benefits of GSM as we do ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glm0025:
Unlike CDMA which you need to register the IMEI of the phone in order to tie it to your service for example Verizon, Sprint, etc . GSM ties the service to the sim card so you may transfer it from device to device without having to get a new one or call customer support. Only reason you may need a new sim card is if the current one doesn't support LTE and in that case you would need to get a new one from T-Mobile and activate it.
[Moto X Q&A] tommybot:
Details:

moto x purchased from web site, for use on Tmobile

i'm currently deployed. Lucky enough to have WiFi on base and T-mobile so communication home this deployment has been amazing. Saw lollipop came out today. downloaded it. installed it. phone boots up with the regular "TOMMYBOT Mobile" and then the spinning M worlds. then it gives me the password (for the decryption). it took a min and then said some error about corrupt files and that i needed to factory reset my phone. so i pressed the button and nothing happened... so i powered down the phone. and then everything started up the same. but when i put in my password to decrypt it takes a minute and then says starting android.... and then the screen goes black. tried 5 times. longest i waited was 30min. (left it over night now, so 6 ish hours)

i can start my phone pressing the power and volum down and it brings up a fastboot menu? but even from there the factory reset option just boots my phone back up as if i pressed the power button.

any help is appriciated.

thank you,

tom

Edit: followed these instructions (cant link, motorola global portal)

and a matching youtube video and i get stuck at the dead android with the triangle "!" sign mine says "No command." under him and i cant get the next menu to open

asked for help here (link motorola forums help) they suggested verizon assistant app. the program

i've treid 3 times now. each time the start repair makes a command "getvar all" come up on the bottom half of my fast boot screen. and then thats where it stays. the "Repair" button on the right does not become clickable.

Solution:

once on the dead android screen to open the next menu it was press and hold volume up AND power for 3-5 seconds together .

from there i did the data wipe/factory reset and booting up i'm already on lollipop. of course all un clouded data lost but i'm just glad to have a phone again.

found a solution in a German forum:

2. turn on WiFi

3. download VPN One click from play store

4. connect to Hongkong

5. apply for Huawei ID

done

there is a Huawei-ID app but it is a system app, so you may not be able to uninstall or freeze it without root access.

Okay So I had been using CM12.1 Nightly when this first happened. After switching on my phone, within two to three minutes my phone would hang up, freeze and reboot! It used to happen all the time.

After which i downlaoded stock Cyanogen OS and flashed it wiping every partition possible. After a almost 3 hrs of use this problem started occurring again even on stock rom!

Also the gestures stop working like only music and camera gestures work and not Flashlight even if it is turned on. I read on a few forums flashing modem helps but didnt quite work out! Please help me out soon. My phone is almost unusable right now!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
What method did you use to flash the stock Cyanogen OS? Recovery or fastboot?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwaipayanray95:
I first flashed 17 Build number with Fastboot! Had no good....Changed kernels to AK and Boeffla and back to stock no good

Then I downloaded the entire Stock 23 build and flashed it...no good

Help me! Please

Only if I format everything it holds stable! I formatted everything and flashed build 23 again 2 hours ago! And rebooted now with AK kernel! Lets see....Any logs u want me to submit?

EDIT: Freeze and rebooted! Same thing happens with Boeffla kernel! Though I guess I am the only one facing this issue and its not a issue with the kernel! But still I'm fastbooting the stock kernel from 23 Build now!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdravke:
I leave phone for charging overnight on 2A charger, but it seems that after it's charged to 100%, current drain continues, since phone is still hot in the morning. If I leave it to be charged at midnight, it should be done in 3 hours max, so there is a lot of time to cool off. This does not seem normal and I did not have it with any other phones. I will try with motorola charger and report.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
and its normal if you leave it in the charger all night, it will reach 100%, then drain a little, then charge it back, over and over. oh, and hot, what temperature? battery and CPU temperatures?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Bad signal. App/WiFi/radio scanning for connection.

Just switch the N6 one night in Airplane mode and check if the N6 is hot in the morning.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdravke:
The problem is that this does not happen every time, but it's definitely not normal.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
I leave my N6 plugged in ALL night, and when I unplug it in the morning, it is NOT hot..... So my only guess is that you have some apps running in the background. make sure the camera app isn't running, or any other apps. or better yet, put it in safe mode tonight, and see if you have the same problem tomorrow.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidzoo:
The only time my Nexus 6 is uncomfortably hot is after I play The Simpsons Tapped Out (this also drains, on average, about 20% of my battery within 30-45 minutes...) so I would echo that there may be an app running in the background that is causing the cpu to have issues. Have you checked for wakelocks with something like Better Battery Stats?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazatugz:
I have a note 3 n900a, my speaker is really low so I always tried a mod to make it louder but never found anything. My friend recently bout one too an then when he played music there was like a 30 to 40 percent increase in sound and quality with his. So it got me researching until I indirectly found a sound mod for my n900a(by the way I tried most of the others on the Internet but they are mostly for snapdragon, and I have qualcom). So wen I finally flashed this file to my fone (UrDroid_ATT_Stock_NL1_Volume_Loud) and the volume went up significantly but his had the overall quality and power over mines which sounded slightly distorted.

This brings me to wonder if some note 3 has a bigger speaker inside them than others, because he has the same identical phone as mines, same model, chipset, software and firmware...so I Wana know y is his own louder and has better quality over mines

Many different models of Note 3 could be your answer .

Do you know why in the system details is write clock 2 GHZ but it run at 1555?

[Xiaomi Mi Note Pro] EMJI79:
2ghz is the maximum available, 1555 is the actual one
[Xiaomi Mi Note Pro] robispi2:
Excuse me, what does it mean? If is 2 GHZ must run (when it needed) at 2 GHZ but mi note Pro never goes at 2 GHZ, never. It only runs at maximum 1555 at 6 cores and not 8 (another thing that i don't understand) just use some app that check the cores works and you'll see...
[Xiaomi Mi Note Pro] EMJI79:
OK, then you could use some kernel settings tweaker like "Trickster mod" or "Kernel Toolkit" to tune your CPU. I believe it may be possible in some internal settings too.

Guys, I am having this phone for 3 weeks, so far so good, but few things really concerns me. I was able to turn on the performance mode on developer ROM, when I play my favourite game (PES Collection), the game run super slow and worst than Snapdragon 700 series, wondering why. :confused:, also the key board tapping still vibrates even I turn the vibrates off :confused:? Anyone encounter the same?
[Xiaomi Mi Note Pro] pangster:
not sure about eh clock speed- but the reason it doesn't use all 8 cores at once is that Xiaomi and Qualcomm designed the v2.1 810 to run exactly like that.. this was one of the key things they introduced to help with keeping the chip running fast, reliable and within a set temperature.. the two cores that are sleeping/hibernating actually change fairly regularly (in cycles) to spread the load/temperature... it's pretty clever stuff...

the other option would be to have done nothing - opened all 8 cores up and as soon as the chip hits temp then performance suffers as it throttles back (something evident in every other phone that runs the 810).. and to be fair - this approach seems to have done the trick given the benchmark results! ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Note Pro] EMJI79:
How did you do that please?
