[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windyt:
Hi guys, I got last week the nag to update to the latest Lolipo firmware. I charged the battery overnight and did click the install button today. After a reboot the update started, than another reboot and I am stuck on "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again." - see attached.

However the update was going OTA and when I connect the phone, the Sony Bridge for Mac will not detect it. I tried on a PC and installed PC companion - the same thing.

Any other tips before I call Sony support and ship it to them please?

Thx!

dont really know what else to say nor to look for so heres my situation and so on.

Currently have BarepapA_v1 but im always in between different roms from stock based to AOSP on a Sprint carrier/Sprint phone

IN a few weeks ill be leaving out of the country, specifically to Kuwait and i plan on still using the phone but getting it unlocked to swap our SI cards and use they're local network (Zain is the carrier fro what i researched). will the be any problems or issues me switching carries on a custom rom with a sprint based phone or will i just have to try my luck out there and find out?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] williamvito:
Quick background:

Avid Android flasher/user for years, experience with most flagships and usually self-sufficient in my tinkering around with phones.

This phone seems to be the exception to the rule and I have a few questions that are not answered clearly in previous threads that I have read through.

If your objective is to point out any sort of ignorance on my part you can stop reading now, this is purely an educational post that can also hopefully help those who might also have these issues going forward.

Onto the questions.

In the process of unlocking bootloader, performing s-off, rooting and installing a recovery what is the easiest order to those who have done all of this?

Next, I am registered on HTCdev but I am stuck almost immediately when attempting to follow their step-by-step for unlocking my bootloader because it would appear that this years HTC model doesn't have HBOOT or Fastboot in Download mode? I have attached pictures of what I see on my phone when try their first step.

Lastly, it would appear that people are now trying to monetize on things such as S-Off actions so the consistent information and tutorials that once were available are now pretty scattered and hidden by those trying to shill Sunshine, I am not interested in that method whatsoever so please disregard this call for assistance if that is the solution you would be recommending.

Thanks for reading and if anyone is willing to lend some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] outofluck:
The process I went with was as follows:

Unlock bootloader, install custom recovery (then make a backup of system/data/boot), flash supersu, S-Off using Sunshine. While I don't agree with the costs associated with Sunshine, ultimately there has not been any other choices out there to reliably accomplish S-Off so I forked up the cash so I could have the convenience of S-Off. It worked just fine and I've had no issues since. If you'd rather not S-Off and save your money, that is fine. Just make sure you follow the advice from the other threads and take a stock back up before you flash ANYTHING in TWRP that you can restore to and take OTAs to update your firmware. Otherwise, you'll have to wipe your phone with an RUU to update the firmware without S-Off.

When I was using HTC Dev, I selected "other supported devices" or whatever that option is since the M9 was not listed when I unlocked my bootloader. If there is one for the M9 now and it isn't working for you, try selecting other. Also, ensure that you have the correct drivers installed. I would offer more advice on the actual process of unlocking the bootloader but I can't find the threads I was referencing throughout the process and I did all of this about two and a half months ago so I can't remember as much as I like. I hope this helps.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] williamvito:
Thank you so much for the insight.

Did you have the HBOOT and Fastboot issues from the Bootloader/Download mode screens on the phone itself?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mrrogers1:
Download mode is our new "Fastboot" mode. Make sure before you go to HTCDev Unlock the bootloader that you access "Developer Settings" on the phone and check the "OEM Unlocking" option which will allow the bootloader to be unlocked without the "Killswitch" firmware blocking it. I'm not sure if HTC just hasn't updated instructions since the "official" start of the Killswitch legislation kicked in OR if they just won't.

Sunshine works amazingly and honestly, if you don't want to show gratitude in the form of a monetary payment (as opposed to a click of the thank you button or empty promise of a donation "on your next pay day") for the work, that's ok, just don't have s-off or find an exploit and bring to the masses for free. :cowboy:

Good luck!
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] williamvito:
Thanks for the clarification about download mode, it makes a lot more sense now especially since HTC hasn't updated their descriptions.

In regards to sunshine, that seemed like a half-handed way of calling me cheap since I didn't want to pay out a $25 fee and almost a threat if I were to post a free way to achieve S-Off if I found one? I wasn't offended but there seems to be a lack of transparency as to why this option exists and nothing else really, CF-Auto Root for Samsung devices was one of my favorite exploits that I definitely supported over the years but that's only after I had such success with it and not prior to needing such service.

I understand this brands devices have been layered much differently than others with not only rooting as an option but also the unlocking and s-off stuff involved, but the difference between last years support and this years is a pretty wide gap.

This is not a criticism on you at all, but as much as HTC needs the business these days it would also seem as if the remaining development community would also make it as hassle-free as possible to fully enjoy the true potential of the device, instead it just seems like some unnecessary capitalism to take advantage of those who want to appreciate a niche phone, just my opinion.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mrrogers1:
No, I wasn't calling you cheap at all (and meant no malice or to offend) but it is the only option because no one else has brought an alternative to market. I'd pay jcase and team anyway and again but the fact remains, no one else apparently has the skills (or is willing to) to do it.

At the end of the day, s-off isn't a requirement to root and do the custom rom dance here so no one is forced to s-off for any real reason.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] williamvito:
All good, my core frustration was really with the conflict of terminology on the HTC side preventing me from starting even step one of the unlock process and the newly realized issue on my end that java was preventing my SDK platform tools from opening, once I get to the point of root I'll decide whether its worth it for myself to go ahead and perform S-Off via Sunshine or go down the rabbit hole to see if I can figure it out on my own. Thanks again for the advice and info.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelsonliu:
Hi Everyone!

I'm thinking of purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S5, but I have a question about its Broadcom BCM4354 MIMO 5G WiFi 802.11ac / Bluetooth 4.0 / FM Radio Module. An image of it can be found at this link, which I can't seem to post because I am a new user (i58.tinypic.com/9icnfb.png).

As you can see, there are two WLAN antennas (marked #3 and #4), but only one with the capability to run both BT / WiFi. I'm wondering -- does the existence of two antennas enable developers to simultaneously receive / send bluetooth packets while receiving / sending wifi packets? I found this SO post (stackoverflow.com/questions/15927208/iphone-programmatically-use-wifi-and-bluetooth-at-the-same-time) which describes a coexistence protocol implemented in most phones that prevent them from truly use wifi / bluetooth simultaneously without any coexistence limiting.

So my question is: On the Galaxy s5, which has two antenna (both with the capability to use WIFI, but only one with the capability to use Bluetooth), if i were to programmatically send data via bluetooth and then programmatically send data via wifi, would the phone auto-allocate to use both antennae? or would it simply use a coexistence sort of deal using one antenna? If the latter, is there anyway (through root / development) that I can enable the phone two use both antenna?

Sorry if this question is ill worded, let me know if you want me to clarify anything!

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coderuckus:
I had been searching all over for this solution, and was not able to find anything to remove the policy our exchange admins put on my device upon syncing which required a strong password to unlock the device after only 30 minutes of inactivity.

After some digging and trial and error I came up with a solution...

Here is how to remove and/or modify the policy that is pushed down from the server:

using a device registry editor (remote, or PHM) modify the following key(s)

The Exchange Security Policy (4131) updates the device policy:

HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023: 0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled

To change the inactivity timer:

HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}\

AEFrequencyType: 0 = No inactivity time; 1 = Activity time enable

AEFrequencyValue: = number of minutes before timeout

To change the password strength policy:

HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\

MinimumPasswordLength: minimum number of characters in password (0 defaults to 1)

PasswordComplexity: 0 = Require Alphanumeric; 1 = Require numeric (PIN); 2 = No restriction

And finally to change the Device wipe settings:

HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\

DeviceWipeThreshold: -1 = disabled; (any positive number) = # failed attempts before device memory gets whacked

CodewordFrequency: # of attempts before a codeword is displayed to prevent accidental device wipe.

From what I've seen, the exchange server only pushes the policy down once, unless the exchange admin updates the policy, in which case you'd have to reset the registry entries.

Enjoy!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cptcoconut:
Thank you! So far, so good on my WM6 Wizard ROM. I've been trying to convince our network admin that this was a stupid policy, and now I don't have to :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] keirmeister:
You totally saved me from wiping my TyTN and reinstalling from scratch.

Thank you!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Systech:
The reason this is NOT a stupid policy is the fact that you are required to configure a policy such as this on the mobile devices in order to be able to implement the remote wipe capabilities of Exchange SP2 and windows Mobile 5.0.

Without this policy in place if someone steals your phone they will still have access to all of your data and email on the phone from the time they steal it. With this policy in place once you inform your Admins that your phone was stolen they can implement the remote wipe and within a few minutes your phone has been set back to factory defaults and all Company data has been removed.

There is generally a reason behind security policies.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stroths:
The policy is not stupid. However, it's implementation can be a pain. You can enforce the policy and have remote wipe ability without requiring the password every x minutes/hours.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PressDigital:
Timeout settings with Remote Wipe

Great work, Coderuckus...

Are there any registry tools out there to automate these sorts of "hacks"?? Sounds like a good addition to a commercial tool like PocketMecahnic?

Ideally having an "Advanced Mode" to allow for more granular settings changes would be ideal... (eg allow Bitwipe etc, but during business hours, allow the user to extend or snooze the auto-timeout)..

Anyone fancy writing the app? (We'd have a stack of customers for you!)...

Cheers

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spooky_osc:
Take care! coderuckus registry tweaks work well, but the manual changes are overwritten by the exchange server every 24 hours or so, which requires you to change the registry again and again. An automated solution which works very well (at least with my Trinity WM5) you can find in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=279073&highlight=zenyee
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stevierg:
When I make these changes to the registry I am still prompted to enter the password.

When I go to the lock settings screen I can then disable the password.

Is there anyway around this??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coderuckus:
I had nearly forgotten about this until yesterday when our exchange admin was messing around with the policy and forced an update which made my pocketpc go haywire. It looks like some good work has been done with the automated utility to auto-disable the password policy, if our admins decide to force policy updates more frequently I may have to try out that app. I'd rather not have to keep yet another program in memory though. It seems the only relevant setting would be setting policy 1023's value to 1, the rest can be reset using the "Lock" settings after the policy reset.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kkoenen:
If the exchangeserver is set to re-enforce policies on every connect, you'll need an app that monitors and resets the key when necessary, like :

(I found this to work better then the Zenyee tool, that turned my Touch HD into nothing more then an expensive brick.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zenkinz:
can you give more information on why the Stayunlock brick your Touch HD?

it's just a small program that monitors the exchange server security policy enforce activity, it shouldn't hang unless your office intrduce a program to be installed that always enforce the policy everything it's being undone, inwhich case it'll no doubt result into a 'hang' situation.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ricorocks:
Exchange Management Console

I know this is an old thread, but it might help anybody searching. I've just had a similar issue on Exchange 2010.

In the Exchange Management Console > Organization Configuration > Client Access select the Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policies. You can either remove the password requirement, or change it in the Default Policy. Alternatively you can create a new policy, then under Recipients Configuration > Mail Box, you can select the user properties, and then choose the Mailbox Features tab. Select Exchange ActiveSync and properties. You can then apply another policy. We have the default then a special one for those who request it.

One important thing, on our installation the default refresh in the policy was not set. We changed this to push out the change of "no password required" for some devices.

I hope this saves somebody some time!

Can anyone tell me how to turn off the sound on notifications for XDA Premium?

I am running it on HTC One Mini 2 with cm-NostromoPop-v2.0.9-memul-20150801-1140 Lollipop (based on CM12.1) ROM.

I don't think I had sound on previous versions of this ROM but can't be sure.

I cannot find any settings for this and it plays a different sound to my default notifications sound.

I still want notifications to appear on my phone and hence on my Android Wear watch but don't want the sound as it goes off when I'm asleep but I want to keep other notifications on for important messages.

Hello Guy,

After I have flashed CM12.1, I have been unable to download some of the game I was able to download before when I was on TW. In the Google Play Store, these games are showing up as not compatible with my device.

When I emailed the support team of game developers, they came back with the following statement:

"Rooted phones may make the game incompatible as it could spoof the device token that is sent to google play that would decide if you can download the game or not."

Anyone know if there is a way around this?
