[Sprint HTC One (M9)] asacado:
So the M9 in all its glory has been out a bit now, but as I am rocking the sprint M9, many roms aren't actually showing if they support our phone. I am still curious as to why certain roms cause data issues similar to the dead data we had in 5.0.2. I use Viper 3.5 and on occasion I experience this bug. In badboyz, it never seems to happen. I am just wondering if anyone's tested any rom/kernel combinations that do not cause problems. I am about at wits end with the phone and ready to jump ship to the nexus 5 2015 if it has the 620 SoC.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
that's because our ROM is based on the Official Sprint RUU, not International...

lol, if you're gonna use a International ROM that added Sprint support, u can expect issues...it's not the phone itself.

*Deleted*
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] asacado:
No, I am well aware of that. I think we all get that feel to want to try new ROM's every now and then. Badboyz is the only reliable sprint rom/ONLY sprint rom we have atm. I think I just miss all the AOSP options I had with the M8. Viper states it has the base for the M9, but I see more often than not, the dead data issue we had a couple months back with it, despite having sprint functionality.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
bad idea...unless u want a brick
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
I retract my previous statement , I thought I read some where people were converting over to international WWE firmware on USA carriers. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi all,

Have an FDD-LTE coming from Gearbest (I hope it's not a fake one :confused:) for the sole purpose of having a look at Microsofts ROM for this phone that converts MIUI to Windows Phone 10. Hopefully looking at this ROM there will be a way to convert it so that it can be applied to HTC One M8's to convert them.

Does anyone have a copy of the installation, or is it still restricted to HK only?

I can't read Mandarin unfortunately :confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXistenZ_69:
Hello,

I'm trying to get an Alcatel Idol X (One Touch 6040D, no custom roms or modifications) out of a crash loop, but have been unsuccessful so far. The trouble started when the phone wanted to download and install text-to-speech voice data ("Female for English"). At some point this download/install crashes, causing the phone to reboot. When rebooting the phone hangs on the Alcatel screen with white background. I have to power it off then on again. Then it boots and starts the download/installation again, causing it to crash seconds after.

I've tried the following to no avail:

Clear cache partition from recovery menu.

Force stopping "Download Manager" and clearing cache & data. I have to be very quick to do this, otherwise the phone reboots. Unfortunately clicking the clear buttons has no effect. The used disk space stays the same (80.00KB data, 12.00KB cache). The phone will not reboot at this point, but many apps (Google Play, Settings,...) and processes are crashing repeatedly (android.process.acore, android.process.media and com.google.process.gapps). Eventually, so much has stopped working that the phone reboots.

There's a thread, I found almost a month ago on Androidcentral, about this very same problem. But what worked for the thread starter and other people, i.e. the clearing of cache and data of the "Download Manager" doesn't work for me. Probably because the cache/data clearing is not actually executed. So that might be something to look into further. See point two above. My replies in that thread haven't been responded too, unfortunately.

I'm aware that the cleanest solution is probably a factory reset from the recovery menu. However that would mean data loss of photos and app data, that haven't been backed up. My main goal is to get the phone into a state that a recovery/syncing of that data can be done. After, I don't mind doing a factory reset.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,

Hello,

this problem still could not be resolved unfortunately :( Does anybody have any idea why the "clean cache" doesn't appear to have any effect?

Cheers,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Not too familiar with Alcatel as they aren't popular around where I live... I would think that there's an option to wipe cache in recovery however. If that doesn't help, I would try to quickly toggle airplane mode to stop the download process so you can backup what you need.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXistenZ_69:
Hello es0tericcha0s,

thanks for your reply. The problem seems not to be related to Alcatel specifically. See Google Text-to-Speech Won't Stop Downloading for other brands of Android smartphones that had the same issue. Unfortunately, what helped others, i.e. clearing the cache, does absolutely nothing in my case :( I also already tried clearing the cache partition in the recovery menu. Disabling wifi is another thing I tried to no avail. The download manager still starts installing or trying to download the voice data and crashes. Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Are you rooted by any chance? What's going on with the Download Manager shouldn't affect your ability to backup your photos at least when you plug it into a computer. If you aren't rooted, you might look into trying to do an adb backup if your phone supports it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091047&highlight=4+4
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXistenZ_69:
No, the phone is not rooted. Never did any modifications of that sort.

I tried connecting to the pc before, but it's not possible to browse the phone content. The crashing services I mentioned in my first post are probably interfering. I will try it again on another pc... Will an adb backup work in that case? Or is it possible to do an adb backup without booting android fully?

Cheers,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXistenZ_69:
So I tried again plugging the phone into a computer. The computer plays the connection sound and shows the phone when clicking on the "Safely disconnect USB device" in the task bar, but unfortunately it's not possible to browse the phone contents using the file explorer :crying: There is a slowly moving progress bar shown in the file explorer location bar and eventually it just stops and nothing happens.

I couldn't try the ADB backup tool in the thread you suggested cause the site is down. It most likely won't work anyway given the fact that the USB connection cannot be established successfully.

*sigh* I'm starting to think I'm out of options. It's just so frustrating to know that the images and contact data are present on the device, but there is no practical way to get to them. I could do a reset to factory settings and hope to recover any images using a tool like Recuva, but that would definitely endanger them.

eXistenZ_69
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Only other thing I could think of would be to root and hopefully you could freeze/disable the Download Manager in time before the crash to be able to recover stuff.

Adb still might work even though MTP isn't. Just have to hurry through the settings to enable it. If you don't have adb on your computer search : Minimal ADB and Fastboot here on xda.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXistenZ_69:
Hello es0tericcha0s,

Today I had a major breakthrough. Using ADB I successfully copied over the /sdcard directory contents on the phone. This means all pictures have been recovered!! So happy about that :D Thank you so much for your help! :highfive: It didn't work right away after installing minimal adb & fastboot though, my phone was not listed when doing "adb devices". I then installed some software from Alcatel called "One Touch Center", which is used for managing phonebook, sms, ringtones, etc... that was not able to connect to the phone either. However I think it installed some driver, because after ADB was able to connect to the phone :good:

I'm currently trying to figure out how to root the phone so I can delete the download manager cache/data. From what I've read by now is that those should be present somewhere under /data/data/ . Those directories require root privileges unfortunately. I tried Kingo Root which lists the phone as supported, but that failed to acquire root.

Would be great to succeed in fixing the crash loop too, so I can sync contacts and other data too.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Hi there, is there any chance we could see kernel sources for the Huawei P8lite ALE-L21 (International Kirin 620 variant) soon? I'm thinking of buying this phone and hoping to develop some custom roms (Like Cyanogenmod) for the P8lite and Im aware that the kernel sources are out for the ALE-L04 (US Snapdragon 615 variant). Its the lack of kernel sources that are putting me off buying this phone

I searched the whole internet but didn't find sourcecode or roms :(

i only found the sourcecode of honor 4c ( CHM-U01 ) it has almost the same specs .. the same chipset only diffrences in battery and in internal storage

if you can use it to build roms you can find it on huawei's site (EMUI download page) :D
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] dd98:
Thanks but I would be very reluctant to use another phone's kernel sources for this phone because of the difference in sensors and partitions and the fact that the Honour 4C is still on 4.4.2 KitKat

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The advantages to buying a new device are fairly obvious; it's new, it's never been tampered with, you can be confident that there are no problems present that a previous owner might cause. There's only one advantage to buying used; it's cheaper. There are many potential disadvantages; you never know what's wrong with the thing until you've already paid for it.

Playing with my two new devices - the HTC Touch and Motorola q9h I found one funny difference and don't know how to solve it.

Syncing my company's exchange server with:

1) Moto q9 which is WM6 Standard (Smartphone) -after applying required security certificate- I can synchronize both the inbox and the sent items. Also when I power on the device the display shows up immediately, there is no delay.

2) HTC Touch which is WM6 Professional (Pocket PC) -after applying required security certificate- I can synchronize ONLY the inbox and NOT the sent items!!! Also when I power on the unit there is a short delay, the screen powers on but then after 1 sec the display with the UI shows up.

The same exchange server, the same certificate, the same mailbox....how is this possible? Is it due to OS differences between Pocket PC and Smartphone?

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
Hey guys, just got my Note Edge. I do like it for the most part.

However I have realized that some apps just don't look right. Facebook for example just looks like it was designed for a lower res screen which makes it kinda blocky and big.

I tried reducing font size but that didnt help anything.

Also my Edge came with Lollipop. I have noticed its kinda laggy (despite all the horsepower). Is this normal for the phone or is it a 5.0.1 problem. For those of you on KitKat, should I downgrade? I don't know what the Edge acts like on 4.4.4

Are there any features you lost by going from 4.4.4 to 5.0 I only know of the camera button being on the window instead of edge screen.

Also the low light camera still sucks lol. My Note 2 took better low light pics. And can you only have 4 edge panels in order for music apps to use the edge panel? When i add more panels, Power amp stops showing up.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
And yes I did do factory reset
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cundis:
Good thing to do a reset if there are problems.

I'm on 5.0.1 and had kitkat some days ago. IMO lollipop is faster and smoother than kitkat. And new fresh design if you like it. Battery seems pretty much the same for me.

Haven't had any problems yet of any kind.

My note 3 on 5.0 is another story though..

Have you noticed the low app resolution problems? And is there a way to keep facebook notifications just to the EDge screen. It shows up on both Edge screen and above my apps. Distracting imo. I have an Edge screen, keep your bullcrap to the edge and out of my way :)

On facebook I noticed some wrong resolution on a like button, but that's all I've seen.

Regarding notifications I'm now trying to turn on notifications at top only in: Settings, Sound and Notifications, App notifications. In there I can press each app and decide how I want the notification. Will report back if it works.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
Hmm to me it just seems like facebook text and overall UI is too big for such a high res screen.

And I didn't know you could only keep facebook notifications just on the Edge screen. Mines, showed up on both Edge and up top blocking a little bit of my view. I just want it on the Edge and in notifications (hidden) like 4.4.4.

I went back to 4.4.4 but I do miss the look of 5.0.1. It definitely looked better than 4.4.4 but it seems that the Edge Screen works better in 4.4.4 mode. How has your Lollipop experience been. I do like that UI just not how it butchers the Edge Screen. I may go back but I don't like having to reinstall all my apps and redoing my settings. I would use Google auto restore but it tends to reinstall all the apps I ever downloaded for android and I feel like that makes my phone slower? Is there a program that will let me back up my apps and settings and restore than without more lag on a different flavor of Android?

Staying with stock T Mobile Rom for now till Winter when I'll have more time to tweak. Also any battery life tips would help
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cundis:
I'm one of those few that are 99 % satisfied with lollipop actually. Definitely snappier and smoother. I also like the UI better than kitkat. Android really got a facelift this time, and I guess it will be even better as the bug fixes show up like they always do.

I haven't been bothered with notifications on the main screen while I'm in other apps after I tweaked app settings a little, at least not yet. Very satisfied with 5.0.1 on my edge.

It's a little different story on my Note 3 though. It runs 5.0 and I had to flash it twice in order to get WiFi to remember passwords and autoconnect. It also occasionally won't boot past the splash screen. Must reboot it otherwise it just hangs there forever.

Regarding battery life I have no issues at all. Pretty much the same on lollipop as it was on kitkat. Now I'm on 43 % left with phone running for 15 hrs and screen on time is more than 3 hrs. I usually get around 6 hrs screen on time and phone on around 18-20 hrs on one charge.

My note 3 is a beast with lollipop as far as battery goes. 2 hrs screen on time and phone been running for ca 20 hrs with 85 % left. I have absolutely no clue how it can be like this. I'm completely stunned! It has a brand new battery, but still.. I've noticed that the battery drains almost nothing when not in use. But there was one night it lost almost 20 % with Google play services eating most of it. It happened once, and stopped when I rebooted it.

So any advise on battery must be to check what's eating it, and from my experience a reboot often reduces some of the processes running. It can be a bug when that sort of things happen. I would really think so, and that it hopefully will be fixed with a update. It usually does.

I remember 4.2.2. It was extremely battery friendly with draining my i9305 only 0.5 % per hour. Then 4.3 came and turned things upside down..

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
What app can I use to check the battery usage. I get a little above 3 hours of screen time with stock ROM and power saver active. But this doesn't include playing games. I'd imagine my phone would drain even faster. I really don't think the phone has solid battery performance especially when I still barely get above 3 hours of screen time with mid bright setting and power saver.

And yeah I may go back to Lollipop because of the face lift but the Edge functionality on 4.4.4 is really really good.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cundis:
Better battery stats is the best I think. But most of its functions requires root. It let's you monitor cpu stats without root.

Otherwise I think the inbuilt battery information let's you see a great deal of what's going on.

3 hrs screen on time wasn't much, is that one days use? You should at least expect 5 hrs I believe. How is your WiFi and mobile signal? Is it strong? Otherwise it will eat battery.
