Hey all,
So i've had an ATT HTC One for 2+ weeks now. The day I got the phone I installed facebook home and was able to run it fine and everything. About a week ago I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone (as a result had to wipe it clean). After getting my phone up and running again I was playing around with market helper trying to see what other apps I could get. Now I'm unable to download facebook home because it's apparently "not compatible" with this device. Anyone else seeing this issue? I looked at google.com/dashboard to see what my device was registered as and this is what it says: " HTC HTC One AT&T". Could someone please confirm that this is what they see on their dashboard? I'm wondering if somehow my play store or region settings are messed up?
Thanks!

Don't worry it's not because you unlocked the bootloader or anything, I was seeing that before I rooted and unlocked the bootloader.

Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.
So I recently rooted my Nexus S 4G and then returned to stock. I wanted to try the ICS rom to see how ti was then went back to Gingerbread. I found that when I unrooted, Google Wallet does not work anymore. The app just initializes and then force closes after about 15 seconds. I looked all over forums and what not to see if anyone else had the same problem and had found a solution and didnt find anything substantial enough to fix my problem. I contacted the Google Wallet team about it and they were helpful but in the end told me rooted devices couldnt be guaranteed access to the app because of security concerns.
Ive tried the obvious solutions (check if NFC is on, update the app) and nothing has worked thus far. Does anyone have any idea if this can be fixed or is my phone blocked from Google Wallet for good? I'm running stock 2.3.7. I returned to stock using a "1ClickToStock" app i found which brought me to 2.3.4 and then did OTA updates to get back to 2.3.7. In the Google Wallet app it says my OS is "sojus GWK74 Nexus S 4G release-keys" in the About section. That doesnt really sound like a Google branded OS so maybe I just got shafted on the return to stock thing I got. Regardless I dont see how being blocked out would make the app crash consistently. If anyone has any idea of how to fix this please let me know
Also, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this goes here or the Nexus S forum or somewhere else. I figured its more a Google Wallet question anyway.
All -
I've searched XDA for anybody potentially having the same issue and haven't found any. So either I'm using the wrong search terms or I have a unique problem...
Since I got my Evo LTE, quite frequently when I go to use GMail or the google search widget (which opens regular Internet app), they're unresponsive. Same goes for Play store - I can hit "my apps". Play store will load the main first screen - but when I click "My Apps" then actually select any of my apps - white screen, unresponsive. So it appears that all apps having anything to do with Google are hosed. I can open any other browser and it will work fine. I can open any other email client and it will work fine. I've tried force closing things, etc - nothing works but a reset. And occasionally that doesn't even work - and requires a second reset.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
This is an issue that many people have been experiencing. I have been having the same issue. From what I have read on here (yes, there is a topic already) rebooting seems to work for a awhile. Not sure if Google plans on fixing it as of right now. It's been like this since the last update about 2 weeks ago.
If you uninstall the updates, it should fix it till they update the gapps.
Chris
It happens a lot for me with Play Store, but nothing else really too much.
this happens to me once a day at least. I hope they fix it soon cause I'm getting tired of it.
Are you stock, or rooted and running a custom ROM?

i'm stock version 4.0.3
Same thing happens to me daily.
Let's just hope google doesn't do its normal bang up job on crap like this and sprint is a little quicker with an update then they were with wallet

I'm rooted but, as yet, stock ROM... I've removed nothing, frozen a few (but then thawed thinking that may have been the issue - didn't help). I can honestly say I've tried pretty much everything. I'm considering a different ROM at this point just to see if that clears up the issue.
I recently bought an HTC One that has been rooted and is running Android 4.3. Overall the phone seems to work properly but there are three frustrating things that I am struggling with (so far):
1) The photo gallery doesn't work - no images are displayed in the gallery even though they are saved in the phone's file system. Can't make new galleries. - This is not critical, I found a third party app that works, but it might be related to the other problems.
2) There are no sounds listed in the Ringtones/Notification/Alarm area and no ability to add any (+ is disabled). The default sounds worked until I tried to install a third party ringtone. Most of the apps crashed, but one app did say it installed the ringtone. Now I have no ringtone at all. Can't find the default 'cause it never showed and if a new one installed it is nowhere to be found, but I have no ringtone anymore. Almost as if the old default got unsuccessfully overwritten.
3) Never got any sync apps to work. HTC Sync Manager fails when trying to install drivers on my computer from the phone. I've tried all of the suggestions that I found regarding that issue.
I am a total noob on Android OS but know my way around Windows pretty well and Linux moderately. If it were a Windows or Linux computer I would think there is a path or permissions setting that is off, but I know nothing about phone OS. I don't want to become a Droid expert or learn the ins and outs of rooting or whatever. I just want a phone that works. I can find my way around the file system. Maybe I need to put it back to original OS? I have seen several articles on that and can probably handle it if I have to, but would rather get the current installation working properly. Any advise you can give is appreciated.

Put it back to stock with the ruu

Thanks for the response. I am reading articles and watching videos on how to do this. One question that I don't see answered is will reverting back to stock affect my carrier service? I am currently using Straight Talk rather than AT&T.
Thanks
SIM unlock is not effected by flashing a ROM. RUU or custom.

Glad all is working well. That is the key!
Hi,
My s5 has been randomly rebooting. Sometimes, it has happening when I am on the call, or in the mid night. Is any one has the same issue? Is the phone defective or hardware problem? My phone is never rooted.

I have been having the same issue. I have had the phone since release and haven't had any problem, until about a month ago. It has rebooted a few times randomly. I am completely stock non-rooted.
I got one time today when I opened the YouTube app. I uninstall the update for the YouTube, and see what is going on
So I've noticed this happening for a few weeks now. Thought something was wrong with the phone and did a warranty replacement. New phone (not referb) does the same thing, just not as often. I think maybe it's an app running in the background now that had a bad update. I'm in the process of removing apps to see if it still happens.

It has happened last mid night again. In today moring, I found my phone restart one time, because I saw the popup notice for reminding the back cover that means the phone restart already. Please tell us what happen after you remove the apps. I think it is the software problem rather than the hardware problem. I don't want to get replacement phone because it is refurbished phone.

Well I'm still trying to determine which app is causing it. For all I know, it could be the firmware T-mo pushed out prior to the latest one. T-mo says they haven't had reports on this issue so I don't want to blame the FW right off the bat. I have ruled out about 70% of my apps and right now have about 5 uninstalled and phone hasn't restarted in 3 days. Below is are the apps I have yet to try and the ones currently removed.
Current Removed:
Code:
'Disable Increasing Ring'
'netflix'
'uber'
'hbo go'
'battery widget'
'2x rdp client'
'pandora'
Yet to try:
Code:
Google Maps
Facebook
Chrome
chromecast
hangouts
tinder
lookout security
Touchpal Keyboard
Reuters
Beep'nGo
Might help if you let me know which ones you have in common above. FYI, I also tried removing my sd card like I saw in a few forums. Also, Tmobile says they don't give you referb phones. They give new phones that were returned to the store within a few days. So openbox, mine looked perfect.

I just do some research online. Many articles are talking about that the android 4.4.2 has randomly reboot bug. I think this the common bug for the 4.4.2. Hopefully, the 5.0 is rolling out for international version. I think t-mobile will update the s5 to 5.0 soon.
Its the 4.4.2 firmware. Its because of all the apps updating to the new lollipop 5.0 but where still on kit Kat. Remember now these apps are set to run on art now so i believe there conflict between the dalvik thats the norm. On 4.4.2. I noticed if i run my SM-G900T 4.4.2 in art mode the rebooting stops. So at the end of the day this means when 5.0 is released to our S5 the reboots should stop. If your bothered by the reboots just run the 4.4.2 in art mode. Good day☺

I just turn off the VoLTE, and the phone runs for 10 days without any reboots. Do you think it is the problem of the VoLTE?

Could be.? I'm just making an educated guess that it's the fact that when our apps like YouTube, Gmail ,ect.. updated it seems that's when my reboots started. Volte could be a cause to. Your guess is as good as mine. But I truly believe it's the fact that the updated app where modified to art and 4.4.2 is dalvik. ?? I'm sure when the 5 update comes this will be resolved ☺

1.) Go into Settings, and About Device. Where it says: Build number press on this over and over again until it gives you the Toast message: Developer Options Turned On (something to that effect).
2.) Go back into Settings, and just below Security and above About device, you will see Developer options. Open this.
3.) 4th Item down is: Select runtime system. It should say: Use Dalvik. Change this option to: Use ART. It should work for a little bit, then Reboot your phone.
4.) All done!
Note: If you plan to Root your phone, and use Xposed, it is NOT compatible with ART runtime. If you plan to stay unrooted, or not use Xposed if you do root, then you are fine. You can always switch back if you decide to do this.
