Looks like there's some halo in pictures #2 and #5 on the upper left side. Zagg really is too expensive for what they offer especially when it's a one and done. Would be nice to have whitestone but they had a bunch of issues with with the 3/3XL. They cheapened their loca so there was tons of spider webbing and lifting for many.

I had to turn the phone in such a way to get the halo noticeable, ,but yes, in this price range I would have preferred the Whitestone for 100% sure.

Hi guys,

I have a friend who have been using Moto E4 Plus (XT1770) for a while now. Though not meant to be a performance device still it did a commendable performance throughout its time.

The biggest problem has been very low FPS while playing PUBG after the latest updates.

Can somebody suggest me the best rom for getting maximum performance playing PUBG with respectable FPS.

I already tried AOSP Extended but there's been only a minute difference.

Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

Recently got a HTC M8 from a garage sale. All works fine but it's stuck on KitKat.

When going to search for updates, just says "No Updates Available etc"

Went into fastboot and got all the info:

all: Done!"

Checking on RUU files, I don't seem to get a match with anything in particular and with my CID being 11111, it's likely been modified at some point in it's life - thus not getting OTA (that's from what I have found anyways)

Would anyone be able to help me on this one, I have zero knowledge when it comes to flashing RUUs for HTC. Only been doing Samsung stuff for ages :)

Help would be appreciated and if you need more info - let me know!

Thanks all!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Never_Sm1le:
No, I don't think it's possible that cidnum is modified, because of s-on. Maybe the one you got is a developer model?

And iirc cidnum 11111111 can use any RUU, but won't receive any OTA.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylirizm:
No idea the history of the device and I was just going off what other forums said about the cidnum.

There's no developer text on startup either (seen this on other HTC devices)

Cause I obviously want to grab a marshmallow RUU, so would I go about grabbing any one of them and just seeing what happens?

Bootloader is still locked but from the looks of it, it may need to be unlocked to flash an RUU?

It's pretty confusing, if you have a noob guide to it that would be good.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Never_Sm1le:
I think you could try, because RUU won't need unlocked bootloader (I might be wrong here, you can do it for extra precaution) and if the RUU is not compatible it will end with an error and nothing will be flashed to your m8.

And turn out s-off can become s-on again, so I think this is the work of the seller. The hard thing right now is to find out the original cid of your device. Did the seller mention anything about the variant of the phone?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylirizm:
It was just at a garage sale and was just for parts only (screen is a little bit damaged) but otherwise it works fine.

There's no carrier specific apps on here and I am in Australia so I assume the device is from one of those.

It's also a M8n if that makes a difference, most M8 phones I have come across are M8x.

Well it's still S-ON and from what i also found, it seems I can't even do that anymore since firewater doesn't work?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Never_Sm1le:
you can s-off by using an app called sunshine but it will cost $25 (US Dollar).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylirizm:
Nah not worth it. If I can flash an RUU being S-ON then I will attempt a couple of them and see how I go I guess. As you said, if it won't work then it will come up with some sort of error. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylirizm:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylirizm:
Nope, just flashed via SDCard and all is working perfect.

Checked and it's not rooted. May have been in one point of it's life but not now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The reverse is true: bootloader needs to be LOCKED (or RELOCKED) in order to run RUU (will fail if UNLOCKED).

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

If I had seen this thread earlier, that is the RUU I would have recommended for most folks. Nice work figuring it out (not an easy feat).

The product ID of the device (m8_ul_ca) means it is most likely the AT&T version or US Developer's Edition. But the Euro (401) RUU you flashed is probably a better fit for most regions/carriers, unless you actually use AT&T as your carrier (US).

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

You don't need s-off to update (RUU) the phone, so I don't understand why you are telling him to do this.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Phone can be made s-off and SuperCID, then s-on again. We've seen this a lot, usually done by previous owner or seller to unlock the SIM, etc.

"Any" RUU is a dangerous statement. Flash a CDMA RUU to a non-CDMA variant will radio brick the device.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Never_Sm1le:
Thanks for correcting me. I think I mistake the firmware zip (don't know why people called this ruu.zip) and ruu.exe.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Same rules apply for firmware.zip (do not need s-off as long as you are flashing the firmware for your phone's CID).

Folks will often call the RUU or the stock ROM generically as "firmware" (to their own detriment). But for this device (as you seem to be aware) firmware.zip is a very specific thing (and not the same as RUU or ROM).

[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] snark80:
I'm NOT a developer (just your average it-guy), but i wanted to share how it worked for me!

Just posting my experience in getting google to work again, it might help others. (share the experience)

I started from a fresh system,

enabled developer options by tapping build number in system (under about phone),

enabled usb-debugging

enabled adb-debugging in charge only mode

installed the newest Google Services installer, the one with the blue/purple G and the chinese signs under it (installed 3,05 Mb)

Then i tried to run it. but it got stuck at the first install with a red exclamation mark.

Bought another phone. (Redmi Note 8t - also full of crap, but EU version)

With no network (no sim and no Wifi) and NO connection to the pc, i started the apps from the Chinese Google services installer manually finding them using the files app on the phone (they are numberred from 1 to 6)

Everything installed, so i checked if i could start play store and sign in and it finally worked!!! (normally it got stuck when you wanted to sign in, so it seemed like they blocked it by protocol or something)

I'm posting this experience because it IS possible to get Google apps working after the latest Emui update from Hua#%& (can you tell this is my last device from them? yes i loved the 8x max)

Now i'm on a new mission, by using Google search. Removing as much Huacrap as i can.

If i may say this here, if you buy a phone, no matter where (china in my case), you should own it. And yes, if i decide to destroy it the next day thats my decision and my responsibility. With selling the device they wave ownership of it.

If you have any succes in getting things to work or getting huacrap removed post below please ;)

The last entry is what you're looking for specifically.

I uninstalled the device security apk. Disabling anti-malware

in the csc file removes an otherwise dead link from Device care.

You'll need to use omc decoder to decrypt your cscfeature.xml found here:

These are old tricks but still work :)

I used fx file manager to then overwrite the system file.

There's a Majisk module as well to remove camera sounds but i've not tried.

Interestingly, it appears Samsung tried to do the same with their phone connect/disconnect audio files in the UI folder... only to be trumped by their own apk.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rhedgehog:
Now this is not necessarily what you may think.

I know that when you turn anything on on these phones, it uses up the battery life....believe me, i've been working in the mobile phone industry for long enough to know that!

Anyhoo, i have noticed that even if i have only used google maps for under 5 minutes, the battery life of my diamond goes all to hell, and i think that google maps is not shutting the GPS port down properly! any day where i don't use google maps the battery life is fine.

What i did to test it was this:

Charge to 100%

Open google maps and turn on GPS so that it gets a fix. let it download the map tiles and then disconnect the internet connection.

Leave it running for 5 minutes.

Close google maps and put device in standby.

Battery lasted 2 hours and 29 minutes before the device gave me the battery low message.

100% to 10% in under two and a half hours? I couldn't believe it so i tried it with tomtom, due to my suspicions of google maps not closing the port.

charge to 100%

Open TT7 and get a fix.

leave running for 5 minutes.

close TT7 and put device in standby.

2 hours and 29 minutes later (how long it took to die before) and the battery is still showing 90%.

repeated the test on both and got similar results.

Does anyone else get this problem or is it just me? It seems that Google Maps doesn't seem to shut the GPS port after it is finished using it and so my battery is totally rinsed in 2 and a half hours. yet tomtom seems to manage the port correctly.

FYI, google is set to get the GPS port automatically, and TT7 is set to internal device, so both should be going through the MS intermediate driver. ROM is 1.37.405.1 WWEshipped on the device, and radio is 1.00.25.03. I've got a french, dutch and spanish device all with 1.35 on them so i am going to test with them to see if they have the same problem, but it think google maps might have an issue with 6.1 maybe?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] czbird:
Which version of Google Maps have you encountered this with?

On the GM website, there is version 2.1.0.10 available for download.

In my diamond, there was v2.0.1.33 preinstalled in v1.37 WWE ROM.

I'm gonna update and check this too, it may hep to resolve my yesterday's problem with unexpected battery drain...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] samstar:
nothing said...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rhedgehog:
had the issue with the pre-installed version.

have updated to 2.1.0.10 and am re-testing the problem.

Here's hoping this fixes it.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] czbird:
i have tried to reproduce the issue with the freshest GM, and it does not seem to occur. I even had the app exited without unchecking the "Use GPS" option. Looks like one less thing to worry about :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mfbatzap:
i have no problems using google maps. make sure you have terminated the application (check your task manager) as google maps may be closed but not terminated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mfbatzap:
oh and switch off your data connection after using google maps. =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cojones:
The problem still exists in this latest version. Is there any way to manually close the GPS port after using Google Maps? Does a soft reset close it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rhedgehog:
soft reset should shut theGPS port, but i seem not to have the problem now with the latest version.

app was always closed properly, and checked that it was so in the task manager. GPRS was disconnected during the test as i said in the first post. anyhoo, I have re-run the tests using the latest GM version and seems is back to normal.

I did put battery status on the device during the second round of tests and was seeing around 330ma being drawn after gm was closed, but after tomtom, it was back to around 70-90.

now it is dropping back to that after closing GM as well.

very strange but certainly something to keep an eye out for. As some people still seem to have it with 2.1.0.10, it could be rom related as well maybe?

Whats. The difference in quick charge 3 and 4 as far as speeds? The 5z had a 18w qc3 charger and the Zenfone 6 has a 18w qc4 charger..would the qc3 charge slower ?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Accessories] _jis_:
I guess the original charger will be faster. Can you try and compare it?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Accessories] MentalEdge:
I compared the two.

Note, that, presumably, because the OEM charger does not go up the maximum 20V of QC4 (only 9V) it is not actually a certified QC4 charger, despite using the standard.

Also, the power rating for QC4 isn't actually higher than QC3, it merely has finer voltage control, allowing for better efficiency.

Sidenote, funnily enough, my QC3 charger is two thirds the size of the ASUS downgraded QC4 charger...

I used ampere to measure current at 50% charge.

That said, I used a QC3 charger from my previous Mi Max 2, it definitely got picked up by the Zenfone 6, showing the two plusses in the battery icon. It reached a max current of 2.5A

The OEM charger reached a stable 3A.

A difference is certainly there, but my guess is it won't actually be THAT significant in the real world. Personally I always use two chargers, the OEM for fast topping up, when needed. And another really "crappy" (0.8A smartwatch charger) for overnight charging so that the majority of the charging I do stresses the battery as little as possible. No matter what Qualcomm likes to tell you, fast charging definitely shortens the lifespan of a battery, so while convenient, it's good to do it as little as possible.

If you REALLY want the fastest possible results, try and find a QC4 charger. Only a few actually exist to buy right now.

Otherwise you can get a QC3 charger, there are TONS of those, and you can actually get the pretty cheap too. You'll only lose 0.5A anyway.

You could probably also use a USB PD 3.0 charger, as QC4 is able to negotiate voltages with it as if it were a fully supported QC charger.

Edit. Tried charging with both from 55% to 71% (It just happened to be where I was at with one charger, then used a battery drainer to do the exact same charge).

The QC3 charger was one minute slower at 16 minutes, while the OEM did it in 15 minutes.

So what happened was my friend's father couldn't remember his PIN. So my friend booted into recovery and reset the phone, a Samsung A70. When it started back up Google Factory Reset Protection kicked in and requires either the original PIN (forgotten) or the gmail password ... which he cannot remember.

The only access to the account is an old Samsung Note that is still logged into the Google account, so emails can be checked. Other than that: no access.

Went into the local samsung Authorized Repairers, who referred us to Samsung, who said they would not help because the phone was bought overseas, not that they confirmed that they COULD help if it was bought here. The dad is not planning any overseason holidays so not sure if they phone could ever make it back to a local Samsung dealer.

In other words: the perfect storm of dealing with parent's technology.
