[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okhughes:
Hi,

I have an M8 that I bought as a project to mess around with, bootloader was already unlocked, but was still S ON, It was already running a ROM that wasn't stock, but no big deal, went to flash Viper ROM and would only boot back into the bootloader - no splash screen.. I then tried the Android revolution HD with the same problem. I'm using the latest TWRP and doing the wipes before flashing the rom

CID is HTCCN701

MID is OP6B5000

Main is 4.29.1400.6

HBoot is 3.19.0.0000

Obviously a Chinese phone, so I S OFFed last night hoping that that was somehow stopping the flash.

My next step i'm thinking is to change the CID and MID and flash a corresponding firmware (Australian region) but am concerned if these rom flashes don't take then the firmware won't either.

just as a side note, flashed the M7 ARHD by accident and phone rebooted to splash screen and got stuck in a bootloop, but didn't boot straight to the bootloader, but when I flashed the correct version, booted straight to bootloader.

Did post this in a general Q&A, and got back recommendation that I super cid which I have done. Also flash WWE firmware, but I've still got reservations as I can't flash any other Rom at the moment, even though twrp says the flash is successful. I don't want to flash firmware and have it die completely if that doesn't take.

Does anyone have any advice?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
And obviously you wasted the money that you spent to S-Off.

Something that I always see .. people paid money for S-Off but don't know what to do with it or why he needs it.

You can never change a phone variant with S-Off.

Your device is M8_TL ... you can't convert it to M8_UL or M8_UHL even with S-Off.

Same principle as you can't convert a Sprint device to Int'l GSM -

you can't convert a M8_WHL to M8_TL or M8_UL or M8_UHL or M8_WLV or M8_UL_CA

same goes

you can't convert a M8_TL (your device variant) to M8_WHL or M8_UL or M8_UHL or M8_WLV or M8_UL_CA

To install a custom ROM on your M8_TL .. you need to know whether the ROM support M8_TL or not. I don't personally see any of them ... most common is a ROM with support for M8_UL, M8_UHL, M8_WHL and M8_WLV in one zip.

Another note ... I don't advise to install any M8_UL firmware on your M8_TL .. you'll either totally brick the device or you'll brick the radio.

The best for you is google for your software version RUU .. mostly on Chinese site they have the RUU for this device.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabia:
Hello.

Not very knowledgeable here, so pardon my somewhat silly questions. I just bought 3 HTC M8 devices, with a view to upgrading to Marshmallow. They're for my mum and 2 younger siblings. I discovered I had the M8_UL, M8_TL and M8Q_UL.

I've been able to upgrade the M8Q_UL and M8_UL to marshmallow, the M8_TL has been the x factor. Can you please point me in the right direction?

I've done tons of research - that's how I was able to upgrade the other 2 - but there's very limited information on the M8_TL.

CID -11111111

HBOOT-3.19

RADIO-1.29.2145000121.12G

OS-6.12.401.4 (I did a firmware update before I found your post about not being able to convert the device, sorry)

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okhughes:
I eventually worked out the TL variant is a Chinese version, unfortunately there was limited stuff available at the time I originally set about trying to flash roms, in the end, I left it with the custom rom it came with, as there was no others available, and no firmware updates, I wouldn't bother trying to do anything with it, but if you're planning to use, I'd root it and uninstall any suspicious app that's not needed (bloatware) as I didn't fully trust some of the Chinese apps not to pass data back, but if you've already updated firmware with an incompatible one, the phone may not work unless you put the original one back on.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I believe there are a lot of information on Chinese forum but not on others.

If you changed MID for M8_TL, then you need to change it back to original MID. If never change, then usually flashing RUU will work on SuperCID (if not, need to change CID too).

You can try the Marshmallow RUU 6.20.1400.1 to update your M8_TL

(only if your original firmware is x.xx.1400.x)

Hi there,

I'm running marshmallow on Samsung s6. Recently noticed that 2/3 of the screen is covered with a pink opaque overlay. It is static and appears atop everything.

I am unable to post a screen grab due to being a new user, but if anyone is interested in seeing it please let me know.

Also, there appear to be a few graphic icons in the top right hand corner of the pink overlay. These are are also opaque and are not interactive.

It's one of those issues - once noticed, you're can't unnotice it.

Any help with getting rid of this will be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Recently i changed my phone to Xiaomi Redmi 2 and im running Android 6.0.1 CyanogenMod 13 Nightly and unfortunately, despite my phone being rooted i found out there are some Power Toggles buttons that are not working.

Location/GPS button is not turning on GPS. Mobile data button instead of turning it on with one click brings me to "Mobile data usage" settings submenu.

Thats why im looking for alternative app that will do those things and other like flashlight, LCD backlight strength, wifi on/off and others.

Okay, I have a strange thing going on here.......

I bought my first bluetooth headset which is Jabra Storm (I ride a bike don't have a car) so it started gettting cracked when connected to my Xperia Z1 even my phone got unresponsive many times with that headset so I gifted that headset to my brother who has Motorola Droid Turbo, but before gifting him I checked that very headset with one of my friend's phone Xperia SP and one another phone it was still problematic, maybe it was a high copy of Jabra storm?? anyway then I bought LG-Tone Music HBS-730 which is also a high copy I'm sure but it works fine with my phone....... then out of curiosity I bought another Bluetooth headset "Motorola HK250" original, which is far better than the jabra storm co'z now it never got auto disconnect and connect at all but when on Bike if I turn my head right (and xperia z1 is in my left pocket ) the music sometimes break and sometimes it works fine. In a room it works fine... I also have a smartwatch 2 on my right hand :D but it's bluetooth is always off so I don't think this one is causing problem..

So what's up here?

The phone has faulty bluetooth? (I even installed Xperia Z1 bluetooth fixed from Market)

The Environment has interference with the device ? (I almost travel too much to check this)

Or

Bluetooth headsets aren't meant for Riding bikes ?

I'm confused , thanks for reply in advance. :(

Hi everyone

I currently use mostly BLACK look:

- slide2unlock2 with black bakground

- all black Today theme (bars & background)

- Black phone dialpad

- Also many other new good programs (with scroll function) have black bakgrounds too:

- iContact 0.3

- OtO 0.45b..etc

- gCalc (calculator)

I like this darker sharp look alot (iPhonish style)

& i was wondering if its possible to tweak the "original" WM6 windows like:

- programs

- settings

- Contacts

- messaging & mail (including outlook)

- Mobile word & excel

to have dark black background (or dark grey?) & pure white font ??

Again, to be clear, I am NOT talking about Today themes or bars....

I do not know if this maybe as simple as finding a registry key? or difficuly as doing each window indivitually?

I hope we can get some help from our programers here

I've just got a new (to me) car & BT isn't playing fair... It seems to be a known issue, but I'm keen to get it working...

My last car was a 2009 Nissan Altima and it had a horrible BT stack. I had to do some workarounds to even get a call to work properly. Newer cars seem to do much better these days.

Like Anandlal suggested, I'd take a look and see if there are any firmware updates for your car. Some makers have them available for download and make it easy to do yourself (Ford comes to mind here). Others may require an update to be applied at the dealer, and that might incur a charge. If they have to do it, you may want to have it done with an oil change or other service to minimize cost and inconvenience.

I feel for you. Cars can be picky and if you get a lazy manufacturer that doesn't update their stuff, you're SOL. I'd hope that for they'd take good care of you considering what you paid for that Porsche.

Good luck!

Hi,

Looking for a wee bit of guidance, from the experts here, prior to taking some drastic measures.

I've had my Z1C for just over 2 years (I just switched over to a sim only deal a couple of weeks ago). I'm quite happy with everything, and it still runs fine - apart from what appears to be a dodgy battery life. Battery has always been fine, until about the last month, when I noticed things becoming a bit funny.

Here's a screenshot of what happened yesterday, when I got home. I put my phone in my gym bag around 1930 (when the network went red), and then got home around 2200. When I got home, it was still in my gym bag, although would be connected to wifi. I went to bed kinda late at 0230 (ooops), and when I got it out my bag (I use it for my alarm), I was amazed to find it completely dead. Can anyone explain why it appeared to lose 50% of battery within a few minutes??

Should I do a factory reset?? Is the battery totally gone, and am I looking for a new phone??

Many thanks in advance!!

Have you wiped your system battery stats file? Have you changed your ROM recently? If both questions have the answer "NO" - it is worth it to find some guides (here in XDA) for deleting the battery stats - it isn't guaranteed to actually notice any difference, but it is good to try (especially now, with the new battery) :)

I'm waiting for my replacement battery too as I suspect that my battery is going to be dead soon. It is heating up rapidly when the charge is below 20-15%.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rzlatic:
same here. it lasts for past few months, persists thru rom variations (cm, aosp, stock) and sometimes gets better for a while but goes bad again. suddenly drops from anything above 50% to as low as about 20%, and then to zero & shut down in matter of minutes. back on charger it goes from zero to 100% in about 15 minutes, i guess my charger evolved overtime to extra quick one. lately the full charged battery doesn't lasts morning to afternoon with moderate usage. as the behaviour persists between roms and as there are no suspicious wakelocks either, i guess its hardware thing not fixable by wiping battery stats or similar mumbo-jumbo, so i replaced battery the other day and now the phone is perfectly fine again.

however, as there are a large (and growing) number of similar posts and same-looking screenshots all around, device is circa two years old, and minding that the battery isn't replaceable easily like "open the back cover and replace", it all looks like sony managed to put two-year batteries inside waterproof case that goes dead just by the end of usual user's contracts, so you could either go to service for replace or - yes you're right - buy a new device by the end of contract :) for us that aren't on the contract but we did unlock the bootloader the price of official-service is sky high because of unlocked bootloader, at least in my country. in the end it's all corporate math, pardon my conspiracy theory ;)
