[One (M9+) General] HTCM9Martin:
issue with my HTC M9 phone

Hi chintan040,

Thanks for responding to my post.

The phone is only showing 2 screens (showing several options per screen) but not one, really helps at all. Just takes me back to the first screen - pointless.

I have tried the options set out on HTCdev.com

But like I said previously, my Laptop cannot see or recognize the phone.

I would like to know how to add new firmware to the phone.

I have 2 screenshots of the HTC M9 screen options but I cannot share on this website.

Any further help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

The apps below on my toolbar section are all none functional now. I tried clearing the cache but to no avail. I tried dragging the icons out and the following also occurred.

I was attempting to remedy the phantom voicemail icon that was appearing on the top left area of screen. Basically, I installed T Mobile VVM and deleted all messages that were stored and then did the same with the baked in VVM app.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Edit. For some bizarre reason my black wallpaper being used had the voicemail icon and toolbar apps on it thus was showing me the garage I originally posted on my home screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] douger1957:
Perhaps I'm missing something. You jacked with the phone and you're asking if this is a TouchWiz issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Jacked? I didn't Jack with anything dear friend. I did run an official update of touchwizz last night from the Samsung store.

For some reason the tool bar apps in the bottom of my home screen were for some reason also a wallpaper. It's all sorted now, thanks .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
isint this the old "take a screenshot of the desktop and set it as background to screw around with the end user" trick ?

i work in IT and have seen/done this on people's computer back in the day. what was even funnier was hiding the taskbar, disable desktop icons ,flip the image desktop upsidedown save it and set ask background then inverting the screen so the image was back right side up( on intel video displays ctrl+alt+down) and last but not least, invert the mouse buttons.(yeah... might want to invert buttons before flipping screen lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] douger1957:
Forgive me. When you said:

that implied that you'd jacked your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
No, not all, actually forgive me. Wasn't aware deleting an app or voicemails was jacking. Damn that language barrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
I've had that voicemail icon before. I called 611 and they reset my voicemail. I believe that fixed it. It was a few years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Cheers, I got rid of it by doing the following. Installed the T Mobile VVM app, deleted all stored voicemails. Went into settings of the app and disabled VVM. Deleted app.

Went into the baked VVM app, deleted all stored messages as well.

[General Questions and Answers] kaze00:
I think I'm going nuts.

Almost all notifications should appear at the top of my screen as heads-up notifications right?

I noticed that Outlook on my note 8 wasn't showing a notification at the top. I typically used my phone on silent w/ no vibration so I'd miss tons of new emails. Then I noticed inbox and gmail and a few other apps weren't working as expected either. The notification would just appear in the notification drawer, if I had sound it would play the sound, but I wouldn't see the heads-up notification. Some other apps like whatsapp and hangouts seem fine. I went so far as to reset my device, same issue. Tried my nexus 6p, same issue, tried resetting that same issue. Tried an old account but different on my s7 edge, same issue. Pulled out my g4, reset it and made a brand new account, same ****ing problem.

the 6p is on Oreo, the note 8 7.1, the s7 edge 7.0, the g4 6.0. This is across 3 different accounts, even a brand new one, and iv've tested on multiple networks.

Am I going crazy?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slyphnier:
hi guys

been looking for posts /threads about those loose/wiggly buttons in here

and i found out that S8 seems got similar issues where either power button or bixby button or even both button seems not as tight as volume button

while this is probably not big concern or have any effect to water/dust resistant with the one that have loose button as it have more gap than the button have tight-fit

i am curious is that manufacturing defect and should be replaced

or most people get similar slight "loose" button and said it within manufacturing quality
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dotes:
I have noticed this too, but not just for those buttons. All of the hardware buttons on my note 8 are a bit loose, it's possible to wiggle them up and down very slightly and make a sort of taking sound. No idea if this affects the waterproofing though. On my previous phone (iPhone 6) there was no movement whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reystar22:
Yes i noticed that too and because my S8 power button wasn't that loose, i went to the store to test the models there but they were all the same, so i think its normal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Happens after some wear and tear on them.

It shouldnt effect the water rating since the buttons are on the very outside.

Inside the phone the button area is cup. So even if the button itself came out its still sealed.

The tear down videos and photo show all this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reystar22:
this cant be true because mine was like that out of the box
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Hum on that idk.

Mines out the box was tight. And even right now the only buttons that is a little lose is the bixiy button.

But my s7e was like this. Very firm out the box, then a few months later the vol would rock very easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] gazp87:
I have an old Samsung 5670 and decided to flash cyanogen 11. I successfully installed clockwork 6.0.4.5-beni and then i flashed cm-11-20140116-NIGHTLY-beni, wipe data, wiped cache and dalvik and everything worked just fine. And then, dissaster came: i tried to install gapps and since then (i got a message that flashing was successful) and since then, everytime i turn on my phone i can only enter into the os but the only thing i see is battery status and time on the upper right corner and the rest of the screen is black. I can swipe from the top (i can see the date and time and a "emergency calls only" message).

I tried wipe data/factory reset from recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, i even re-flashed cm 11 and i am still having the same issue. I tried to flash a different rom (miui 2.4.20) but im getting an "installation aborted" message. Even tried to flash the stock rom with odin but though i have installed the usb drivers odin can not "see" my device.

And yes, i was stupid enough not to take a nandroid backup :(

So now what? Is there a way to fix this?

Don't go backwards this time when flashing firmware on your phone. Has to be recent not older than what you had before

Try that

As far as I know, you can't flash stock firmware with TWRP on zenfone. You need stock recovery to do that.

Got stuck at TWRP or stock recovery in my zenfone 3

After I flashed the lasted firmware from stock recovery I couldnt login the google account as they have a bug of only providing the google voice typing. I tried reverting back to custom ROMS but couldnt. TWRP says every zip file I flash is corrupted whereas, Stock recovery send out Error:21 with Signature Verification Failed. Even ADB Sideload flash the file says couldnt read the Zip file.

HOw can I get back get my phone back to normal? PLease help :(
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What is the model number of your device?

Have you tried doing a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

If the stock firmware is available for your device, this search should find instructions, the tools and the files required to flash the stock firmware to repair the software on your device.
[General Questions and Answers] rsuyogya:
I have both stock recovery and stock rom, both of same firmware version. The recovery is getting flashed but then it cant flash rom. Says key signature verification is failed.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, what I'm talking does not use recovery to flash anything.

No, this needs to be done using a PC and the proper tool to flash your stock firmware.

Do the Google search that I suggested, open your browser, then, in the search bar type this:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

That should find instructions and the PC program needed to flash your firmware.

Hello all,

I am on the verge of buying an xda mini s, and i have two questions.

Firstly, is it easy to unlock and if unlocked will it work on the '3' network.

Secondly, if i use the wifi facility will be network charge me to browse the internet in the same way they would if i connect via gprs/wap etc.

Thanks

Sportyfr
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JuanSinMiedo:
WiFi conection won't generate any charge from your phone provider. With WiFi you conect to a Wireless router. This can be open (anyone can conect) and free, open but not free (Ej. Fon), or closed (with WEP, WPA, MAC filter, etc). Or you may not be able to conect at all because there are no available networks around.

Just be careful. If you activate WiFi but can't conect to any network, using internet will make the phone activate the GPRS, included the asociated phone bill.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alan_semple:
Hi Sportyfr

The XDA Mini-S from O2 will be unlocked anyway.

Be aware that the XDA Mini S is "not" a 3G phone, if it does register, it may not work for long on the "3" network.

AIUI

When 3 spot it, your sim card could / will get barred pretty quick.

The 3G replacement for the XDA Mini-S was the O2 Trion aka the HTC Hermes.

BTW

T-Mobile do have WiFi included in some of their higher priced "Web and Walk" packages.

Hope it helps you or at least saves you some money.

If you push and hold on the notification, it should give you an option to turn it off.

Nope. That worked on my Nexus 6, but not on the Note 8. The only options I have are Silence Notifications or Don't Silence or Block.

I've tried both, and either way the notification stays. The choices are "Silent" or "Don't Silent or Block"

Tell me I am stupid, but I do not understand the problem.

I have a note 8 and gear s3.

What is exactly bothering you? You mean the text in the pull down notification screen? Where you can select o.a. "find my gear?"

Or switch the connection off?

Or the gear plugin message when reconnecting the gear S3?

[Samsung Gear S3] fireattack7:
The ongoing notification from the Gear S Plugin that says "Connected to Gear S3 via Bluetooth". The notification image that is shown always too.

I like it as clean as possible.
[Samsung Gear S3] herpi:
I understand.

I also had this "samsung connect" thingy above it. And that one can be switched off in the settings.

When I switch samsung connect off off also my Gear s3 notification image disappears.

But when disconnected/connected I always get this plugin message. E.g when I switch my phone bluetooth off and on.

Disable the plugging

Go to the Samsung connect app and under your choices you will see dashboard. Turn the watch off. It will still connect through Bluetooth. Just won't be with the Samsung connect dashboard junk. It will remove the icon plugging data as well as the Samsung connect will drop off as it's not an active connection in it. Was my only fix. Just do not delete the Samsung gear app.

Also annoys the heck out of me.

I tried the method at the bottom of the first page and I thought it works but it did not the notification returns. It's an utterly worthless notification because it's not notifying you of anything you don't already know and have known for as long as you have owned the watch.

I downgraded from 3.0.0.1 to 2.3.2.3 and I forgot to turn off the auto download for the update. I switched it off half way, but it stubbornly kept downloading.

Now I have the udate software notification screen constantly nagging me as well.

I'm thinking maybe the only way to get rid of it is to

1) Reflash the watch again (Don't want the hassle of doing that again if avoidable)

2) Somehow deleting the update files on the phone / or watch or wherever it is.

Anyone have any idea about option 2?

I also tried to restore back to 1.5 but since i can only access fastboot, my only option is to sideload but wont work with the TGZ link above.

Anyone have any ideas? or the zip file I could use to sideload the stock Wear1.5?

Thanks

Just making sure !! Try force restarting the watch by holding power button.

Did you reset the watch before sideloading ?

On android wear 1.5 use 7zip and unzip the tgz file and browse the folder till you see flashall bat file and run the same in bootloader. I have tried it and it works. Let us know if your still facing issues.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Gphoton31:
Locked /data won't allow sideload.

Hi, I've installed twrp, but it fails to sideload LG2.zip as the /data can't be mounted as it is encrypted. The TWRP doesn't have a format option for the /data partition so I can't reformat it to delete the encryption. So I'm stuck in TWRP.

I had similar issue initially , had to restore back to 1.5 and then clean all the data and then sideload 2.0 back. Try that and let us know if that worked.

You are the man! That worked

Installed recovery.img bootloader, then ran the 1.5 bat file, then reinstalled twrp. /data unlocked and mounted, sideloaded 2.0. You turned my brick back into a watch. Thank you very much.
