[General Questions and Answers] dph314:
Hello everyone. New to the forum, figured this would be the best place to ask since every guide I've ever looked up has inevitably brought me here at some point or another. Thanks to everyone that takes the time to post all of those guides/answers out there for people like me. Much appreciated.

Now, my current predicament- I told an older friend from work that I would help him get into his phone, and it's proving to be a more complicated process than I originally thought. His very young granddaughter managed to changed the PIN and he can't get in the phone. He has a Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-i545, with a PIN lock-screen after booting. Verizon told him they would have to wipe/reset the phone to unlock it, which he's trying to avoid, so he held on to it and asked me about it. Knowing anything's possible, I accepted the mission.

After a bit of browsing, I came across a YouTube video of 2 simple ADB commands that reset the passkey file, thought I'd be done in 5 seconds. But the thing is- to do that, as well as to follow pretty much every guide I come across, USB debugging must be enabled, which I can't get to obviously. I'm pretty good with computers but the mobile-realm is somewhat new to me, so I began setup + research. So far I've installed the Java and Android SDKs, as well as the mobile drivers, started reading a bit about ADB, searched and read through numerous guides about alternate methods of enabling USB-debugging. But I keep finding guides that either aren't quite exactly what I'm looking for, or they assume a level of experience that I just don't have yet.

I'm in school full-time and work full-time, and as much as all of this interests me and I'd love to spend a week or two figuring everything out, I really don't have the time unfortunately. If someone could maybe list some clear steps from the beginning on how to enable USB debugging on a locked phone, or the easiest way to go about unlocking the phone without resetting it and deleting everything, I'd be forever grateful.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Immortal_Lefty:
I know my way around Android well enough I could probably teach a class. I've been excited for the Marshmallow update for my Verizon M9, mostly for the security update. Now I've got it, and udderly hate it. Not only is this marshmallow über soft and squishy, it's somehow managed to swallow the majority of my CPU--much like BOB from Monsters vs Aliens. Actually, the update is more like BOB than a delicious couple of calories. Tremendous lag from god knows where, constant freezing and other **** when in hpm--whether it be plugged in or not--which often crashes apps altogether or causes a reboot, keyboard latency of about 1.5seconds, network disconnecting when the device exceeds 120℉, ooh!, and the cherry on top: loss of data. I use my phone for both business/class-related stuff and for gaming/pleasure(shh, creeps) because I'm too broke to buy anything else. The front-facing speakers get glitcy and doing that pausing crap like when you drive outta radio range in a car. This was never a problem with Lollipop, but is making Android a living hell to deal with. MHL has yet to work on Marshmallow, and instead simply crashes the phone. Again. Can't find ANYthing ANYwhere about this. Both Verizon and HTC are refusing to talk to me directly about it; keep getting passed to the next rep, who tries to put me through their template of troubleshooting steps. Wiping cache partition worked...for all of ten minutes. If that. HTC wants to take my phone for two weeks, which won't work due to classes.

Full stock M9. I use App Mgr III for new moving apps quickly, App Cache Cleaner because I'm lazy, and Greenify to kill some stuff that I've got, e.g., Ingress, Skype, snapchat. Greenify does NOT allow killing of bloatware/pre-installed crap, so let me tape the mouths of those twits shut now. Most pre-installed apps, including all but two of the Verizon things, are disabled.

The game I notice the most trouble on is Walking War Robots, can't tell if it has to do with graphics or the processor itself. Chrome browser is quite laggy; Drive is almost unresponsive as is Docs; have lost quite a bit of data from Microsoft Word, both saved and documents being worked on. Reception is also quite a bit worse with the Marshmallow update, calls being dropped more frequently and location often having trouble pinpointing me on high-accuracy.

As I do NOT have a computer, reseting the device is not an option. The recaptcha thingy took almost 30 seconds to load; on Lollipop, they took less than five.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
I fully agree with you. My experience with marshmallow has only been negative so far.

1) Incredibly Laggy. Back in the day, installing a kitkat or lollipop rom, the phone would be super fluid and would only slightly lag when installing the 50 apps. God forbid when I was installing marshmallow it seriously hung like 5 seconds and was going at maximum 10fps.

2) Heat. The phone appears to get even warmer now. How is that even possible?

3) Battery Life. My battery appears to be 10% worse. I used to only charge it at night but now I have to charge it after work around 8pm.

I do have some hope though. I'm waiting for Neo or Santod to compile a debloated rom and hoping that clears up these issues. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
I was experiencing terrible lag, it seems to be settling down now. I was overheating, but that seems to have settled as well. Biggest problem is that I'm only charging at 550mA with a 2A quick charger. That's new, and totally unacceptable. Also, HTC emojis are gone. All I have are the stupid jellybean/potato looking guys and I can't decipher which emotion they are trying to relay. Chics dig emojis, and here I am feeling emoji blind.

Edit: Lag is still terrible
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] baune7:
In the same boat.. this update is not good. This phone is so laggy and slow now it's like my OG Droid 1 from years ago. Cleared cache after installing.. waited the obligatory 45 minutes to rebuild stuff. Uninstalled the bloatware I could and it literally took minutes to do a simple uninstall. Hasn't got any better in the last day at all. If it doesn't get better in the next day or two I'll have to go back to Lollipop. This is probably the most buggy, laggy, battery killing Android update I've seen on any of my Android phones since Droid 1 days. Anyone else getting this or know of any kind of fix? I just can't imagine HTC and VZW pushed this out if problems like these are a common occurrence.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
I FIGURED IT OUT GUYS?!!

So ViperROM just put out version 4.3.0.

I always thought ViperROM was some weird bloated ROM with weird features so i never gave it a go, but its basically a slimmed down HTC SENSE with a small amount of tweaks. My phone is BUTTERY smooth now. =)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] baune7:
Yeah, I've thought about pulling the trigger w/ Venom rom but I wanted to stay just stock rooted on my M9. If you install viper rom do you have to factory reset? I just despise doing that so much and don't want to if I don't have to. If it doesn't get better in the next day or two, I'll probably give viper a go with a full wipe.

On a side note, is this a fairly common issue with this update and the M9?? Some are saying in the other thread theirs is nice and smooth.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] :
I was having many heat/lag issues as described above when I flashed the zip dirty or clean. I had to do a RUU with the MM update. Now it's super smooth. Still get lots of heat when the system is booting up for the first time/settling in. But after that, no issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] baune7:
how is everyone's battery with this? Mine is absolutely horrible! Just this morning sitting here.. 3 hours, down to 78% already and haven't even done anything very intensive with it. Few messages on Whatsapp, texts, a picture. This phone sucks right now. Yesterday only lasted about 10 hours with normal use. Before I would get at least a normal day out of it without worrying. What the hell is going on with MM that is sucking the life out of this phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
Yea you will have to root. The thing is, Venom is literally a STOCK rooted M9 that has all bloat cut away and 1 small app for additional features (like changing status bar and power button for flashlight.). It is well worth it.

Try Venom Rom. I had so many issues with Verizon MM that I gave up on it.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
I've also had better luck with Venom. I just flashed it about 8 hours ago but the lag is gone (so far). Charging on a quick charger still sucks. Haven't been able to gauge battery life yet. No overheating.

Update: My battery is discharging at -1650mA.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
Keep checking. It shouldn't be discharging that much unless your tethering on full brightness
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
It spikes and dips. On average it drains around around 600-800mA. No tethering, 50% brightness. Never had this issue til M. Crazy.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
I just tested mine on Venom and with around 25 percent brightness using Facebook on WiFi I'm getting 250mA drain MAX

Anyone having problems after the stock VERIZON MM OTA needs to do a FACTORY RESET.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mcampos7:
I can barely get my phone to charge. I'm going back to L. If I nand back, do I need to flash 5.1 firmware or isn't hate covered in the nand?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] baune7:
This.

Guys, I finally did do the factory reset despite how much I hate having to do that. From both inside android, and from within TWRP just to be sure. It made the world of difference. I know having to re-install and set up all your apps is a huge pain the ass, but it seriously made a huge difference. Mine lasted 1 day, 13 hours with my typical usage and was still at like 9-10% I think when I re-charged it. Everything is back to working really smooth, no lag, and no heating issues. Something left over from before doesn't play nice at all with the new ROM. Hope this might help if you guys decide to stay on stock.

4.3 Request

Question i have went to the Viper website and i can not find the 4.3 rom just able to download 4.2 please tell me where am i going wrong thanks?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Immortal_Lefty:
Mmmm, but my original post was about the M9. Not the M8. They're similar, but the M8 has a superior processor. Imo it'd be amaz to have my custom (and unfortunately shattered) M8's processors and RAM in my M9. Fix all these issues. But, alas.....

In scale, that prolly equates to about 70% of my normal day, minus gaming. Right now I'm getting through about 30% of my day, minus gaming, before needing a charge. Even with QC, charging takes about 40% longer than it did on Lollipop.

Still neither factory reset nor rooting is an option, as I have nothing to back my stuff up on. No, the local library isn't kind enough to me for that lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759884409
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] baune7:
Why do you need a library and computer to back up your phone? Couldn't you just make sure everything is backed up to your SD card before doing a wipe? And i'm pretty sure a factory reset in TWRP doesn't mess with internal storage partition. Everything else, texts, apps, etc can be backed up to Google servers. The worst part will just be having to re-download all your apps. In all my years and hundreds of ROMS, i've never had to have a computer to back stuff up to do a wipe, just SD card. But if you want your battery issue solved, as of right now, that seems to be your best option for a fix. Sorry, just the name of the game when it comes to modding I guess.

Hi guys, could anyone help me how to get rid of the "Others" in storage? It already consume 7gb of my storage.. :crying::crying::crying:
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iXaidyiu:
It is the space reserved by the OS itself. Of course, bloatware included. The only way you can reduce it is to root your device and delete some of the system apps or flash a custom rom.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paby07:
Thanks man! So if i root my device now, i can't totally get rid all of it....Coz whenever i installed something, the app goes to the Apps tab, so with the Others tab (same scenario when uninstalling). And also, thus having a custom rom lessens the heating(too much) of the device? Thanks a lot man.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iXaidyiu:
Installing a custom rom can help a lot of course!
[Android General] grifaldo:
Well, I'm kinda new to all this. I study computers in general, and I'd like to understand what's happening inside my android. I use a Moto G 2nd generation with 4G and sometimes it gets so slow that I take 1 minute to open an application. I've been told that all moto g's start acting like that after some time, as the system starts getting complex and things get out of control. I think Motorola's ROM is not carefully designed to this complexity growth and I'd like to analyze what happens inside my phone.

For example, one reason for slowness is that the processor might be swapping files to save RAM but preserve the station of some applications. Other case can be when some background processes start running and so. I want to know about everything, so the first question is: what's the limit of what I can do with the adb tool? Can I query these informations?

What's the best way to prevent applications from running in the background? Do I need to root? If I apply root, what are the precautions I must have to keep my phone secure?

Sometimes it takes 5 seconds to respond to a touch I did, so something very serious might be happening inside my phone and I wanna know! I wanna study it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cglegion:
Assuming, you have no problem with your USB port, USB cable, installed latest LG USB Driver 4.0.4, running Windows 7 or 10...

We need more detailed info from your part to tackle this problem. Are you running on stock rom, kitkat or lollipop? Are your rooted and do you have TWRP recovery?

Then, you need to disable "USB debugging" from the "Developer options" menu. Then replug your USB cable and you can now select MTP instead of charging only mode. Good luck.

I had the same problem with my G2. Unknown usb device, and the error was: "unable to get device descriptor" or something similar. Tried all software solution without success, so i have started to looking for hardware defect. I've changed the usb module, but no success. So, as a last chance, tried another mainboard. And "tadaaaa"... That was the problem. So, start to look for a working g2 with cracked screen, as i did.
