You need an NFC enabled SIM card, the phone does not have actual NFC as far as I know, it just uses the SIM card as NFC. I could be wrong though.
[HTC Butterfly 3] yossi1983:
Thanks for the quick answer..

But, What? I've never heard of NFC Enabled sim card..

What does it mean?

[HTC Butterfly 3] bakpau:
i'm having the same issue (no GPS) as if there's no gps installed, any solution ?
[HTC Butterfly 3] Abkarino:
Hi,

I just bought this amazing mobile phone a week ago while i was in Shenzhen, China, to unlock this phone there is no current known software only solution

(I'm so sorry to say that), you must use either HTC Java Card or XTC2Clip to remove all security checks and be able to S-OFF your phone also and after this you can do what you want with your new phone.
[HTC Butterfly 3] luckyluluke:
My GPS is perfect now, let me know if you still need help on this issue.

I am thinking of importing this nice phone to Europe (Germany). What will it need to set the device up in English or German, or is this not possible at this point?

Heat issue?

Hi all,

Need some help here. I'm considering to get this phone (HTV31) but I'm concerned about Snap 810 heating issue. Since most reviews is in Japanese I didn't quite get enough information.

Can any of you guys here share some experience about heating issue and battery performance of your HTV31 please?

Where to purchase?

Heey guys,

I really want to buy this amazing HTC J Butterfly 3, but I actually don't know where to buy one?

I checked Ebay, but I am not sure if I want to buy such an expensive device from Ebay.

So any good suggestions for a place to buy one? I actually contacted HTC(eu), but they can't sell it to me.

Thank guys

[HTC Butterfly 3] petar_b:
Yes it's possible to import it, I had to pay 50€ import fees; it has all European languages available. I just dont recommend Japanese AU version like I ordered due to SMS send problems (unless someone cooks a rom for it), so go for Taiwan version if you can find it on eBay ...

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

It gets hot i you game a lot and if you record movies and use coyote app... I wouldn't say it gets too hot, maybe a bit more than my old Samsung galaxy s5 under the load.

Anyway I don't see overheating as problem at all. Battery life is ok as well, a day of normal use (apps, calls, gps, etc), or two days of lightweight use, e.g. texting, apps like tv remote control apps (lazy weekends lol).

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Any ideas which app can be used instead of default TV app that scans only Japanese frequencies ????

sending 'boot' (424 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.056s]

[HTC Butterfly 3] moizjazz:
Unfortunately, there is no way of fixing the sms issue other than flashing taiwan ruu.. The taiwan ruu has just received a marshmallow update as well.. I will try and find the update log to see what they have fixed..

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

I am using the HTC dot view cover which works very well and well built too. Got it off the below link;

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dot-...SE-COVER-For-HTC-Butterfly-3/32543490381.html

There is no need for a tempered glass as such since it comes with gorilla glass already..

The phone overall is very good. I do manage to get a days battery easily out of it and doesn't heat up either (just the usual little bit).. Nothing annoying yet..

new user reporting B)

Hello everyone! Got 2 Butterfly 3 last week. Have been using it and loving it.

Both are of original Japanese version, but one was saying the 'system has been altered' when I was doing OTA so I gave it back to the shop for a fix. Very unfortunately, the guy 'fixed' it buy installing the TW ROM and now I can't use NFC :rolleyes:

Now I'm thinking about flashing it myself to Japanese stock rom, but you guys have any other suggestions???

Also, I have been reading a lot about Marshmallow update for the Japanese ROM. Anyone knows when they'll drop?

Thanks everyone in advance!:cool:
[HTC Butterfly 3] moizjazz:
You are better off with taiwan rom which has already been provided with Marshmallow update through OTA..
[HTC Butterfly 3] averageawkwardasian:
I would stick with the TW ROM if there is a way to fix the NFC. I use it regularly to check the balance of my transport card. It's just really annoying I can't use the NFC knowing that it is actually there... :(

Big problem. HELP.

My htc butterly 3 has been rebooting lately, and the last time, i tought it was rebooting again and it didnt turn on again, and now it does not even charge. Can please anyone help meeeee!!!!!????:crying::crying:
[HTC Butterfly 3] nielspieleke:
Bad Battery?
[HTC Butterfly 3] lucaschom:
I don't think so. It was working well. But it doesn't even turn on the RED LED when you connect the charger.

I've tried turning it on pressin Vol Up + Vol Down + Power Key; and Vol Down + Power Key, and nothing happened.
[HTC Butterfly 3] nielspieleke:
The charger port broken? As it doesn't charge.

I had a problem with my Nexus 5 that the power button was stuck. So if nothing works, you could try flicking the power button. But please be gentle, otherwise you break more than you think.

And only do this if really nothing works.

Maybe try to plug it in your PC, to see if it gets recognized at all.
[HTC Butterfly 3] nielspieleke:
Heey guys,

The last couple of weeks I have some problems with my phone, maybe you guys now some solutions or have some advice.

First, my htc htv31 now seems to overheat more than before. I am trying to get the ota update and install it manually with TWRP. Any advice for flashing it?

Second, suddenly I have got a bunch of "unnamed" contacts. Also my normal contacts don't display properly and sometimes dont display at all. But they still appear in Whatsapp and in my message app.

Third, my HTC HTV31 has some charging problems lately. It charges very slowly. It even doesn't charge at all sometimes, when I am nearly using it. Like when I just have the phone unlocked, but I am not using any app. It only charges when the screen is off at that moment. The battery life is also very bad now. When I am away from home for like 3 hours and the phone is just locked the whole time. I could easily lose something like 60% of the battery life. So yeah, that happens a lot, and it then needs to charge, but that barely happens because it charges slowly.

And last, the keyboard began to lag. it happens 3 out of 10 times I think.
[HTC Butterfly 3] Birkyjon:
Your options

Twrp and otas aren't compatible. You have two options, one, use this stock marshmallow tw twrp backup:

http://xdaforums.com/butterfly-3/development/twrp-backup-marshmallow-updated-tw-rom-t3378450

or follow my guide to install stock tw(faster, more complete and proven success):

http://xdaforums.com/butterfly-3/development/stock-rom-stock-5-0-2-cure-t3356875

Overheating is a problem I encountered in 5.0.2 JP and TW, but the switch with less bloatware, and then the update to marshmallow with doze and a more efficient android system has greatly minimized it.

You could try my guide with the japanese rom images instead of tw, just don't overwrite the cid or mid and then upgrade to MM with otas.:good:

[HTC Butterfly 3] Chino_Moren0:
Hi everyone! I've bought butterfly 3 (au Japan) and using it in Russia. So I have the same problems, as many other owners - GPS is not working and SMS can be sent only with code 00 before contact's number. + before number is not valid..

Can somebody help me to fix this issues?

I've been trying to find any manual, but everywhere there's only the link, that is not accessible anymore..

And two moments more - my phone's battery life is extremely short - it's about 4-5 hours of using with the turned on display and mobile internet.. Is it normal?

The second moment is Android updating. As I understand, I should have the ability to update my Android from 5.0.2 (that is working now) to Marshmallow.. But after looking for the updates my phone says I already have the last software version.. How should I find the newest Android version?..:rolleyes:
[HTC Butterfly 3] Jaime-uk:
Hi: perhaps you could help me. Every time I restart the phone I lost signal. I mean before restart I have got 4g signal, internet, calls, etc but if I restart the phone all get mess up.

[HTC Butterfly 3] justamechanic:
So I was board and decided to try putting my phone back to Japan stock. They now have ota for 6.0.1

I gave it a go. And you know what.... Like a new phone again. After like 7ish updates to marshmallow, disabling all the bloatware, my phone is way faster and battery lasts twice as long. GPS works as well as NFC ?. I'm guessing the battery lasts longer cause the NFC logo isn't constantly flashing on the top, you can turn it on when you need it. Android pay works great. Pretty happy with my phone again.
[HTC Butterfly 3] ARF88:
Where you find Japan stock ROM?

UPD: question closed. i found repair 0PL2IMG pack, and restore phone.

But, i have problem..

With first release pack (android 5) TWRP correct install supersu, and root works fine.

If I install last pack (with android 6 update) TWRP not correct install supersu, and i have cycle rebooting.

I use TWRP 3.0.0.0 version.. also i found TWRP 3.0.2.0 - but it not work with touch screen and i can`t use it.

How intstall root on phone with last updates (android 6)?

Can you get it work?

My phone stuck at boot animation after flashing it... (Both 0518 or 0505 build)

14.1 provided by the same guy (or lady, i don't know) works fine.
[HTC Butterfly 3] nielspieleke:
I have the same. I am trying the 0518 build again.

I figured maybe it needs more time to boot up?

Haven't seen any pictures from this actually running other than the video.

The author itself only posted a picture running the 14.1 version.

I'll keep my phone on as long as possible with minimal an hour of booting. Hopefully it will then work.

I also tried to flash the boot.img manually when trying to install it for the third time or so, after I saw it on a thread here.

Would be nice if this works. Then this phone will be a little bit more future proof and I can test some cool apps haha.

[EDIT]

So I kept my phone on for about two hours. Then I re-installed the 14.1 version. I noticed that NFC (ofcourse) doesn't work. Also the camera is not working currently.

Then I tried 15.2 again, but now making sure I rebooted directly into recovery after installing the OS but before installing Gapps. Kept it running for more than an hour and then my phone battery died (it has a bad battery even when charging).

I turned to Twitter to ask the author of the software about the camera and 15.1 not booting. He said to me that 15.1 is currently in development and that is the whole reason why it isn't booting. He will look into the camera problem from 14.1. I expect that he will fix it in 15.1 ones he has that version running properly :)
[HTC Butterfly 3] cat explosion:
That a great news, I'm looking forward that the developer to successfully port 15.1.

Thanks for the update:svetius:

Hello everyone, I am hoping there are still someone around in this forum to help me.

I was trying to sideload by old htv31 b3 device to a newer version of Android, so I download some unofficial version lineage OS ROM from the internet, currently, the device showing sideload successful but it is stuck on booting animation of the lineages OS.

I thought the flash is simple nowadays with ASOP roms, so I didn't backup the OEM system.

Now I am very stressed and very hard to find an OEM ROM or a working ROM from the internet. Most of the link from the internet are outdated or non existed.

If there are anyone who could help me to revise the phone to prevent it become another e-waste.

Installed and did some testing. Had a few FCs during setup and switching from Wifi to mobile data. Mobile data is working (2G, 3G, LTE), GPS with device only working too, calls are working. Front camera only 480p.

It's pretty CM with just some added features. Other than that seems pretty stable for a Beta.

Yeah its not the same ROM like it used to be :( PAC ROM was so great in the jellybean era now its just like every other rom
