I forgot to mention it also charges significantly faster now than it had been.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant too low for this phone's charging logic. It doesn't seem to like to let the battery go much below it's nominal voltage of 3.8v, though the battery's capacity was so far gone that at 3.84v it was dropping much lower under any kind of load. For normal...

Ordered a new battery from eBay for $14.90 and got it in two days. Now I'm back up and running with a properly working phone.

My battery finally crapped out, it won't charge or turn on. I disassembled the phone and took the battery out, it was at 3.84v, so hopefully just too low to charge. Time to finally order a new one. At least my Thunderbolt still works well in the mean time.

Not very helpful: From version?*HTC Service Pack 1.04.800979: - Now compatible with Android 6.0 Marshmallow

For what it's worth I just received an HTC Service Pack update this morning, though I have no idea if it fixes anything with this. I'm going to look up the change log to see.

Factory reset got it back to normal. It still happens to both my wife's and mine. As long as you don't turn it back on if there isn't enough battery to fully start up again you won't get the optimizing apps message. The worst is if it dies again in the middle of booting up, that's what caused...

Yesterday mine died at 30%, and upon restarting it went through the "Optimizing Applications 1 of 261" then proceeded to come up with a warning that the phone had an internal error and might be unstable until doing a factory reset. After clearing the warning it was stuck in a "Sense Home has...

A few times now manually shutting the phone down before the battery dies has led to all Google related icons (Chrome, YouTube, Play Music, etc.) being removed from my home screens and having to manually re-add them. When the battery dies it's a roll of the dice what, if anything, will be...

I am copying this post from reddit for a friend. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. r/mobilerepair Need voicemails from Samsung Galaxy Note 2 u/ajwar1154 27d, 22h I have an old Samsung Note 2. It started having issues recently. It kept consistently saying “UID's...

Lately it's been losing home screen icons and a couple settings even when I manually shut the phone down. Ironically yesterday when it died suddenly some previously missing icons I had yet to restore reappeared.

I have searched as much as I can, but can't find any info on this. It has happened on both mine and my wife's M8, but only after updating to Marshmallow. If the phone dies suddenly without being able to shut down fully most of the time it will lose certain settings, like sounds, data and Wi-Fi...

I'm having the "No SIM Card" error or it locks up and won't wake up after a period of no use now sometimes.

It's the correct file.

Doesn't look like mine would have worked anyway. Verizon needs to allow direct access to the update servers.
