[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartolooooo:
Hello,

After installing CM12.1 my phone works all fine, up until my battery dies and phone powers off.

After the battery went flat I have charged my phone and tried to power it on, phone goes to the boot animation then it says "Android is upgrading" after its went through all the apps it goes back to boot animation and keeps repeating the upgrading process over and over again. It doesn't give me a chance to go to the recovery so I need to switch my phone off with a pen.

I have used Kit Kat before and never experienced any problems like that, it only happened when I have upgraded to Lolipop, both with VANIR and CM12.1. (with and without Tangerine kernel)

The only apps I install after clean rom install are : Youtube, Snapchat, Facebook and Messanger, Hola Launcher, BBM. I do not install any bootanimation mods or lockscreens.

My bootloader is unlocked.

The only .zip I flash after installing is gapps for the chosen rom. (I flashed Tangerine kernel before but the problem occured no matter what kernel I use.)

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
OK, first thing to try:

Get to the recovery and dirty flash your rom again.

Android should boot up now.

Set Trebuchet as your default launcher.

See whether the problem persists or not.

What is BBM?

BBM is just a messenger, I shall do that next time my phone bootloops I had to get my phone working so I flashed again but Ill test it today when my phone dies again and reply with the result
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
Why you letting your battery die in the first place? Why?

Anyhoo in case it happens next time, you could also try booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache and see if it helps you boot.

You could also take a nandroid backup and try some other ROM and see it the issue persists though why you would let you battery die out on purpose is beyond me.

I use my phone a lot and it just dies. I'm on 50% right now gonna try and drain it somehow and try suggestions from up there ^ I'll post results when I get them.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
Yeah, letting the battery die ain't good, but this belongs to a regular usage of the phone. So it has not to cause bootloops...

We aren't like Steve Jobs who said "Then don't hold it like this!" :D

So I have drained my battery a few times and everything seems fine, the only thing I done differently is I set Trebutchet as a default Launcher don't know how its making any difference but it did.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
I can explain:

Sometimes, apps have problems with a hard shutdown.

When a phone completely boots and then gets into a bootloop, it is mostly caused by a defective launcher app.

Without a Wirkung launcher, the phone can't boot. It will be stuck on bootscreen because there is no launcher that stops the bootscreen.

You can use any launcher you want, but not the one you used to use.

I like the Xperia Home launcher ports. Bit there are other great launchers out there in the stores. Pick one and report if the problem comes back;)

So my battery died and Im getting bootloops again, I tried wiping cache and dalvik, also I tried to dirty flash my rom again and it didnt work... Anyone help?:(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
Then it has to be caused by something else. What did you install in the meantime?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
Dude I gotta ask - is the extra 5-10 mins you can squeeze in before the battery dies worth all this trouble that follows? Come to think of it, you're kinda bringing this upon yourself, aren't you?

What is so important that you have to bleed your battery dry everytime? And if it's that important, why aren't you carrying a powerbank or getting to a power point asap? I mean it stands to reason that if your phone's so vital to you, its better to rejuice it than to let it die right?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartolooooo:
I didn't install any new apps or nothing its just been the way it was.

I cant control it I can go out for 12 hours and my phone will die. And I'm pretty sure a normal phone can handle it.

A small update, I switched my phone on after I have switched it off to dodge some phonecalls (don't judge) and tried to power it back on and it started "upgrading" again, it was in the middle of the night so I left my phone in the charger for few hours bootlooping then plugged it out during sleep, somehow I woke up to a booted up phone I'm really confused :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
Then... It seems like your phone isn't bootlooping. It is just slow.

We need the logs of the boot, some logs that show us what's going on when it boots that slowly.

I'm still convinced it's an apps fault.

Did you clean the user data when you did the last clean install? Some app data can survive a "clean to install new rom" there.

Have you tried to go back to stock rom and then install CM again?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix854:
Flash stock rom and start over again. Dont restore the backup and use your device for few days.

Try AICP instead of CM
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartolooooo:
Flash the ftf file?

- Phone now boots to the lock screen and goes back to boot animation then goes to lock screen and repeats it all without optimising apps... Lolipop is too good to just downgrade :(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
That's a hot reboot what you experience now.

What I asked you for is to go back to stock and then immidiately go back to CM.

Flashing the Stock Rom is only for absolutely wiping everything without the risk of bricking your phone.

It wouldn't make any difference how long you stay on stock.

If it's not a hardware problem, it will solve your bootloop / hot reboot issues!

Only solution is TWRP, wipe System,Data,Cache and dalvik cache, and reflash the rom. It' s so annoying! Any solution ?

I have an HTC One M8 on Verizon, stock.

I'll be on a Caribbean Cruise. I want to be able to use my phone in ports to make calls back to the US.

Not sure what I need to do to make this happen. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] beaups:
I have the same device and travel out of the country frequently. You can use the phone, as-is for calls and texts, but its very expensive. You can also use data, but its extremely expensive. Call Verizon and they can put you on an international plan for the month, which will reduce some of your costs depending on what countries you are visiting. They will also need to enable international data for you, as they block most accounts from this by default.

The better option is to buy a prepaid sim on a local carrier while you're over there. It will save you quite a bit of money, although the downside is you will have a different/international phone number while using that sim.

Your Verizon m8 is simunlocked, so there's no real trouble using an international sim.

Another option is to used an internet based texting and phone app. Most ports have stores with free internet. I know the cruise WiFi is crazy expensive. The Verizon messaging app worked for WiFi and I used hangouts dialer and paid $10 for international calling. That way I called home for free with WiFi and calls to the country I was in were covered with my 10 dollars. Very cheap way of doing things if you have access to free WiFi

Hello,

after lollipop update i noticed that the speaker volume gets very low, and at maximum volume they start to crackle. On kitkat everything was fine, no crackle at all.

So is it possible to replace the sound files/drivers on my phone with the ones from kitkat?

Someone know the exact path to the files that are responsible for the speaker?

I've developed this module mainly because on my device the apps icons are huge, and the white background was very annoying to me and I prefer transparency.

It supports the AOSP version of launcher3, if there are requests to make it compatible with the google version I'll make it on the next version.

I'm open to suggestions and requests.

The initial public release version it's attached to the post, but the updates will follow only on the xposed repo.

Xposed Repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.beatslayer.xposedmod.hctlauncher3mod

Changelog:

v0.4

- Initial Public Realease

v0.5

- Add quick search widget color changing function.

I've developed it with Lollipop in mind, but I can compile a test version with sdk relaxed to KitKat and upload it if you're willing to test it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Beat_Slayer:
Can you please test and tell me if this latest version works for you?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ripv2:
Great module man. Any chance on getting support to replace the app drawer icon? That would be sick.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Beat_Slayer:
It's totally possible since the version that I use already replaces mine, the problem it's getting free time to implement an image picker with so little support I've been receiving from the community.

I'll see what I can do.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
Has any of you noticed anything strange with HTC? I know HTC are really desperate for money right now but seriously? Its like they just want to lose all customers? First, they failed with m9 which lead to replacing the CEO. Since then HTC been pushing all their apps to playstore and butchering each app features down while adding ads. Hell, even the lockscreen now has ads. Look it every HTC app on playstore; its filled with negative comments. Plus HTC is now deleting any comments with 1 star; I tried to leave my comment 5 times with 5 different HTC apps and it was gone after 1 hour. I also noticed other users are telling same story with comments deletion. Btw, with the recent camera update filters are gone (for M8) and HTC is telling users to revert the camera app back to original if they want those feature. Really HTC? So much for innovation.

Here are some HTC apps that I noticed ads after recent updates:

- HTC ViewVideo

- HTC Settings

- Sense Home

- HTC Power

- HTC Internet

- HTC Lockscreen

- HTC Dot View

I use AdAway, so no ads whatsoever . My Gallery still has filters ( Fx Editor ). But i heard that recent updates brought ads ads and more ads. They are making money by including ads, that is why many free games include ads, like Flappy Bird game.

What i know is, that my M8 is the last HTC phone i will ever own, i will only buy another HTC phone if they get their sh--t together.

Just set BlinkFeed as your home screen and it'll be gone. You can switch to another page afterwards.

ALSO: THIS THREAD is a farce! There are no ads in any HTC app, except for BlinkFeed, which has a SWITCH OFF button in the settings. The lockscreen stuff is an impressive FEATURE that tells you about nearby restaurants around meal-times as well as popular attractions when you're close to them., which you can also turn off from BlinkFeed settings.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

Dear Mr. badboy47,

Kindly be advised that there no ads in any of the apps you enlisted above, except Sense Home, which you can turn off from the settings. As for the restaurant & attractions suggestions, these are immersive features that HTC has been providing since Sense 5 (2013). They can be switched on & off as you please.

Sense Home ads can be turned off as follows: starting from BlinkFeed, swipe right, tap on the 3-dots, then "manage ads", and put a check on the box that says "turn off interest-based off".

Lock screen restaurant suggestions can be turned off as follows: starting from BlinkFeed, swipe right, tap on the 3-dots, then on "notification on lockscreen", and remove the check mark from the "mealtime suggestion" item.

Sense Home restaurant suggestions can be removed as follows:

Add the "Sense Home" widget to your home screen. On the widget, tap where it says "home", tap on the 3-dots, select "personalize sense home", and check off both setting boxes.

Anyhow, I suspect you have recently installed an app that independently provides these other advertisements you complain of; i.e. in the settings app, video viewer, etc...

Please look into your recently installed apps to find the culprit, rather than regurgitating on misinformed innuendo, and in turn, perpetuating misinformation yourself.

I hope this helps....

Cheers
