[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DL55:
I've had my M8 since about the end of 2014. Originally on Android 4, have since done OTA upgrades to 5 and 6 as they were flagged as available by my carrier (UK, O2).

I've never managed to get HTC Backup on my PC to recognise the phone, even with the original USB cable, so have never done a proper backup (Yes. I know). Fortunately for me, my Gmail contacts list was almost up to date, and apart from my calendar, that was the most important thing to save, so I've just had to grin and bear it.

Because of the lack of proper backup and therefore the facility to restore from one, I'd never done a factory reset after the various OS upgrades, which I've been told might have avoided my present situation, which is that I can't get any further than a bootloop situation. Other than that, I can get into recovery mode, but no further.

I've tried clearing the cache, I've tried a factory reset. Neither of those have got me anywhere.

I've no great desire (at present) to go fiddling with rooting or anything clever with the phone, I'd just like to get it working again. I've downloaded Android Studio to get the SDK for ADB but don't really know what I'm doing, and if I mess around without expert advice I could end up with a hard brick - which is why I'm here.

Can anyone give me some guidance about what I need to do to get my phone working again?

Thanks in advance...

Hi, I have the same problem, started a few days ago when I was trying to download VLC from the play store, the phone rebooted and said optimizing apps.... It has been in an optimizing apps bootloop since - it gets to the end, then says starting android then freezes and reboots, then starts again... I tried clearing the cache and doing the factory reset as well but nothing helps. We could really use some expert help on this :S
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If a stock phone isn't booting, and factory reset doesn't help, the OS is possibly damaged or corrupted in some way; and needs to be restored.

If your version has RUU, you can try to run that.

If no RUU for your version, then probably your only choice is to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, so you can restore a stock TWRP backup from the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lo11o:
I am in a very similar situation, apparently because of a botched automatic system update, almost same symptoms as airick94. I haven't tried a factory reset yet though, because I want to try to recover what I can from the internal storage first. Can I do that through ADB even if my phone is not recognised as a device by the computer?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pommy192:
I am planning to install a custom ROM on my phone, and I was looking up how to unlock the bootloader.

I've not unlocked a bootloader and flashed a ROM in quite some time, the last was my old HTC Sensation.

I stumbled upon a thread about how phones from the carrier I'm on, which is Three here in the UK, do not allow bootloaders to be unlocked.

"Three (and phones direct from networks ie. O2,Voda,Orange,Tmo) = SIM LOCKED, and Bootloader unlockable = No. Which means You can Sim unlock the device but Bootloader remains forever locked. Unless someone manages to find a exploit."

That was in 2013 though so does it apply still now?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That thread is for Sony Xperia, its got nothing to do with this phone.

Bootloader unlock should work fine on 3 version (I've seen others with 3 UK version messing with ROMs here). Far as I know, Verizon in US is the only version that doesn't allow bootloader unlock via HTCDev.com (but you can s-off by sunshine for $25 in that case, then use it to unlock the bootloader).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pommy192:
Thanks for the reply
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazza35:
Im on Three Uk, i unlocked my bootloader and rooted and flashed Twrp no problem, s-off i havent got around to, i begrudge paying $25 for an exploit that should be cheaper.

As for sim lock, all phones purchased through 3Uk, contract or payg are already sim unlocked, same applies to CPW, only O2, EE and Vodafone lock their mobiles within the uk.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pommy192:
Is s-off a needed feature? I just want to install Android Revolution HD via TWRP
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No, it is not needed .. you need unlocked bootloader, twrp and the rom zip to install.

Most important your current firmware is at least 4.xx.771.x or better 6.13.771.4
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazza35:
It says s-off on a lot of these custom roms, but i dont think its working for me anyway, ive flashed ARHD and Leedroid and Dragon, and although they install, a ton of the roms features and apps do not install, example - xposed, so where am i going wrong, BL unlocked, rooted. Twrp, but customs wont install what they say is included, i think its because im still S-On, and i always will be.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talpes:
You only need S-off if you wanna upgrade to newer modified firmware or firmware that is not supported by your branding. And that's the main reason, sure there are some other things like unlocking your bootloader without HTCDEV, changing CID & MID and transforming your device into a dev edition but you don't need S-Off for ROM flashing and installing apps that need root permissions such as Xposed etc.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Most of the problems are related to the firmware and kernel.

The best is to run these custom ROMs on Marshmallow firmware. For e.g H3G Marshmallow firmware is 6.13.771.4

Some custom ROMs are on stock kernel with write protection enabled, some ROMs include write protection disable module and some ROMs come with custom kernel with write protection disabled.

You should install different kernel like ElementalX, LonelyX to name a few which include the write protection disabled feature when the custom ROM that you installed come with stock kernel only.

Without write protection disabled ... most apps that require root won't properly working.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_padia:
To get to 6.13.771.4 firmware on H3G phone do I need to flash an LP nandroid then update using software update?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Yes .. that's a proper way to do it if your device is S-On so you don't need the hassle to relock bootloader and later to unlock it again to install custom ROM or to root it. Relocking and later reunlocking will wipe your data/internal storage. But .. restore LP nandroid and install its matching stock recovery then do OTA, you don't need to relock bootloader

If your device is S-Off, you can simply flash the firmware.zip (as S-Off doesn't need a relocked bootloader)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_padia:
Thanks. Do you by any chance have an LP nandroid for H3G? I remember you used to have collection does it go up to LP? Or will I have to go back a few earlier versions and sequentially update?

EDIT: just visited your collection thread again (hadnt checked for a while) and found both nandroid and recovery there. THANKS :)!

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] t_wysocki:
Really old thread, but REALLY helped me out a lot! Only one problem, on my Galaxy S10 (4 years later!) I'm getting a notification popping up when I start and stop the screen capture that says "EXPOSING SENSITIVE INFO DURING CASTING/RECORDING...blah blah blah". It has a CANCEL and START NOW buttons.

I'm really a newb and I have no idea how to prevent or block it. Any ideas from anyone???
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Snowby123:
The custom setting action probably can block or disable the notification, assuming it is the OS giving the notification. However, it is not a feature for beginners. On my note 9 I don't get such a notification. If an app is causing it, you could use the plugin AutoNotification to block the popup.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] t_wysocki:
From what I"ve seen in other forums/posts this is an issue present with Android V10. My Lenovo tablet doesn't do it (v7). Maybe there are just things Tasker can't handle!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] jago25_98:
What's the point in remote access if you have to be there to approve the connection? The idea here is to avoid having to carry around an extra phone!

Notably, AirDroid doesn't need this but AnyDesk does. Why is that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] chraston98:
I've purchased Redmi Note 3 Pro a few days ago. I'm satisfied with overall of the phone but there is one problem I'm facing.

After I quit airplane mode(every night I turns on airplane mode before sleep then turns it off in the morning), my phone won't detect the network most of the time, sometimes it detects the network but it took way too long to happen but still, it acts like there's no network. I couldn't call, sms, receive call, receive sms and use mobile data. Everytime I have to restart my phone to detect the network.

Is there any ways to fix this problem ? It irritates me a lot as I have to restart my phone everyday.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] _ehsun:
update your phone, this issue has been solved about a month ago
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Grantius:
Yeah the new builds are much beter
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] klincharov:
Hi guys,

I also have network problems on my Note 3 Pro - but without airplane mode. My phone just randomly looses internet connectivity, sometimes completely, sometimes it drops to Edge, most of the times with a warning about roaming and data connectivity. And yet sometimes I completely loose mobile signal but a on/off airplane mode fixes it.

It's pretty irritating, I didn't have these sort of problems with my prev. phone, and I haven't visited any new places or with bad reception.

I'm running the 7.1.8.0 global stable rom.

PS: My locale is missing, and I chose Argentina on random, then disabled auto-time. Could this mess things up ?

Any input would be appreciated.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mura20:
I am facing a terrible network problem with my phone too. I have used China and Global ROMs and I cannot fix the problem. I am currently using Global 7.1.8.0

My phone does not respond to incoming calls when in sleep mode. Incoming calls go directly to voicemail. It seems that it is connected to the network while in sleep mode. However, it does not respond to the incoming call.

If the phone is awake with the screen on, it shows an incoming call.

I have tested other SIM cards, switching from 3G to 2G, reseting the phone, clearing cache, disabling "do not disturb".... The problem just does not go away. It's a shame that a phone with this much potential has a basic problem like this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] klincharov:
Just tested, mine rings when sleeping. But define sleeping... ? When display is off for a some time ?

I am also suspecting something with the sleep mode, it usually 'switches' to Edge or no connection while in my pocket. I am also suspecting problems with the sim card, have you tried with a new one, or card in another phone ?

Otherwise I really like the phone :) It brought my trust back in Android.

edit: Update > Download Update and it started downloading, then restarted, installed something, but I'm still on 7.1.8.0 ...

Auto download is ON.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mura20:
I define the "sleeping mode' as phone with screen off for some time. I tried different SIM cards and from different network companies (3 and Vodafone). Same problem. My network signal is extremely unstable. I like the phone a lot too. However, network signal is something so basic on a phone that it is a shame it does not work properly.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] puneet84:

I got a new sim card, and upgraded my plan, now I have good reception, almost always LTE, sometimes drops to H+. How I miss calls when my phone's display is turned off/sleeping. I'm getting pretty pissed of with Xiaomi about this ****
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] filthyrich77:
So annoying

Hope we get the 7.2.2 update soon and it fixes this problem

What good is a phone if it has network issues
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Got my phone yesterday and had the same problem this morning. Solved by signing out of my MI account, switching off VoLTE and rebooting. Everything works properly now. Hope this helps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Forget my previous posts on this issue. Follow these steps as they worked perfectly for me and I had to repeat them this evening since I did a reboot.

1. Keep sim registration on automatic on both sims.

2. Power off phone.

3. Remove sim 1 and keep sim 2 (my sim 2 is 3 Mobile UK roaming. That may make a difference).

4. Power on phone. My roaming sim 2 registers immediately.

5. Power off phone.

6. Insert sim 1 (primary or local sim).

7. Power on and you should have both sims working perfectly.

8. Go to sim settings and change your preferred calls and data back to sim 1 if you need to.

These steps have worked for me twice so far. Hope it helps.

P. S. I must add that I have zero, zilch, nada issues with my Zenfone 2 running the same setup (local sim and uk T-Mobile). Love the Xiaomi so far but detest the lack of native alphabetical for the apps. Considered Nova but the free version doesn't give message counters. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I'm also facing network issues with 7.1.8.0 : when exiting airplane mode or switching from Wi-Fi to gsm network, I lose data connection. The only way to get data back is to reboot the phone.

Sadly, the trick from miui forum didn't work for me for this particular problem.

Il hope this problem will be fixed in 7.2.2.0 update.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mr-2:
How did you all get the OTA 7.2.2 or 7.2.3 global ROM? I tried check update a few time still on 7.1.9 with no new updates. I have similar issue with the airplane mode offline and saw the fixes. But I would prefer to upgrade the ROM and hope it fixes my auto rotate issue in YouTube as well.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Grantius:
It's possible you have a reseller hacked ROM. Try flashing the official OTA

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] meangreenie:
Wonder if a script or app can be used to wake the phone for a few seconds every ten minutes or so would stop the phone calls going straight through to voicemail problem?

I find the other method of killing the com saver app and dialing that number twice stops the phone from sleeping totally.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mura20:
It is very sad that we need to use the temporary fix for this phone. Why can't they release a ROM with this BUG fixed?

I also think battery is draining way faster because of this fix

It's an absurd to have a phone that directs calls directly to voicemail when in sleep mode. I am really disappointed with Xiaomi.
