I took it to ubreakifix and they told me that this is indeed a known issue with pixel xl's that they all suffered from a faulty motherboard and that is indeed the cause here. Said he thought there was actually a class action about it so I'll have to look into it. Really pisses me off that Google...

I haven't. I see that Google has all the ota's on their site. Is there a specific one that i might want to try? The same one? Go back a few? Will i even be able to sideload if my phone is fully stock? Edit: sideload adb successfully but no change. I loaded the 6-5 ota which was what i already had.

I have always been about to get into the boot loader. Actually i can get into recovery again as well. Seems if i let it sit for a while it'll go to recovery again. Maybe heat related.

well, i'm not sure if it makes a difference, but now for some reason i can't get into recovery mode again. just goes into the boot loop. It also goes into the boot loop as soon as I plug the phone in to charge.

Hoping for some help or alternatives to fix my fiancee's Pixel XL. Last night the phone just kept flashing the 'G' logo on for 10 seconds, off for 10 seconds. She said the phone was close to dying before it happened, and I imagine it probably ended up draining the battery afterwards with the...

Yes I think I had restored following the factory reset at first. But then when I reset again, I don't think I did, which is probably why I've been ok for a few weeks now.

Well I might've figured it out myself. I noticed auto-delete messages was off. I cleared out my messages and magically it seems to be running smoothly for now. There must be some kind of bug once you hit a message limit or something...

Wow I'm about ready to toss this phone now. I keep getting an issue where messages starts to lag like crazy, and then CONSTANTLY force closes. I'm talking like every few words I type, it force closes. I'll open it back up, type a few more words, the FC again. The worst part is, I've already...

Would you mind elaborating further on this process? I'm on Lollipop, latest update. You're saying I can pay someone to provide me a sim unlock code and all I have to do is enter it? Legal? Can it cause any issues to my phone? I don't care about my ATT warranty, phone is over a year old anyway.

I'm on full stock and need to unlock my phone for international use. I tried through ATT but apparently I can't since I'm under contract. I've never had to do this before, but I thought I remember reading this is, or can be, part of the S-off or root or something. Can this be done?

Few odd issues I'm having with my phone. Updated a few weeks ago to Lollipop, full stock. Did a factory reset after receiving the upgrade. Everything was pretty good. Not sure if another update went out a few days ago? I noticed some icons changed and I think a few more changes in camera and...

Seems to be a bug with the messaging app on 5.0 update. Fully stock. I text my gf probably a hundred times a day, and now all of a sudden I can't text her as it keeps sending me a message, 'error invalid number' and it displays her number with an extra 1 added 11(xxx)xxx-xxxx. I checked her...

same here. only since 5.0 update

Yeah like I said I've backed up my stuff to my computer, but that's a pretty clunky way to have to restore stuff then. Also, my phone is acting up big time now and I'm at work for the rest of the day. So I was hoping there was a way I could just reset and go. Like I said I know I am also backed...

So now that I'm on 5.0 there's no possible way to reset my phone without wiping out my media? If so, what's the easiest way to backup/recover photos? I've gone through and backup up my whole phone, both to my computer and to google pictures, however it seems google backup just lumps all your...

I'm running stock just updated to Lollipop. Need to factory reset. I've learned that reset now completely erases ALL info, which I'm trying to avoid. It appears custom recoveries like CWM and TWRP will leave your personal info intact (sd partition). So my question is, just for the purpose of...

So I just updated to 5.0 and I need to do a factory reset.. some things are a bit buggy. However, it appears the reset options have changed. It now specifically states it will erase all media including photos and music from your internal storage. Before proceeding, it gives another warming that...

So I know there's a million reasons, usually network related, for sending a receiving duplicate messages. However, my default texting app is physically sending duplicates. If I send a message, it pauses as it's sending, and then all of sudden a duplicate appears. On my actual phone, I can see my...

I was under the impression I did, but they're not there. What about the HTC backup? I thought that's why I signed up for an HTC account. And then the ATT Address book. I can't find anything

Well, I thought everything went smoothly. Thought I backed up everything I needed. Turns out I can't find any of my contacts from the past year or so. Any ideas?? I know I had basically everything syncing before. I reloaded my google account, my HTC account (sync is greyed out), ATT Address...

Sorry guys, guess if I tried it I could've answered my own question. The HTC version actually specifically tells you what it's going to erase and then gives you the option for wiping internal storage and SD card.

That's what I thought. And I'd always used TWRP or CWM before, and this always left my SD card and internal storage intact. Now, however, I'm fully stock and would be doing this through the OS, so I wasn't sure if this operated differently. I see many articles stating it wipes everything. So I...

Sorry if this is quite a noobish question, but I'm a bit confused after not doing this for a while. On my Note, I used to wipe and flash new roms all the time. I haven't yet done that with my M8 so it's been quite a while. I remember when I used to factory reset, I'd always still have my...

I've also been experiencing issues receiving mms picture messages ever since the update. Would prefer not to have to factory reset, any other possible fixes? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

Ok.. well a lot info there but one step at a time. I realized my phone is Sunday unusable with Wi-Fi turned on.. which is quite interesting and I'm pretty lost on this one. With Wi-Fi on, it's like my entire phone stops, not just the actual internet speeds. Apps like Facebook take ten seconds...

Bump Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

Actually I decided to leave it there on purpose. Thinking it might help to still reduce glare from the edges. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

I tried the toothpaste method... and I was actually quite blown away. You can see a pure, shiny surface in the middle, and I left a ring of thousands of scratches around the edges. It's amazing how crappy that coating is.. whatever it is. And yes, that was my camera's issue. Finally things are...

Very cool man. My lens is indeed scratched to **** with micro scratches (even though it's always been cased). I was in fact really disappointed about this, I didn't know it had some sort of coating. I'll give this a shot.

Is there anything yet on fixing how horrendous this camera is? Recently I've been trying to take more pictures inside and realize that it's actually almost unusable. I really love the outdoor shots with this camera, but inside I feel like I got far better pictures with my first camera phone in...

I might look into this. What I don't get though.. I can understand if new updates are quicker. That makes sense. What doesn't, is how ridiculously poor my phone runs compared to the first few months I had it. It's been like this for every phone I've had. I don't game, I don't have all that many...

I don't understand why they don't just push the update without volte and then push that out when it's ready..? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

So all of a sudden the duo effects will not work on my phone. When I go to apply any effect, it says 'duo effects not available for this image'. However, they pictures were taken with all the settings as they should be. Also, if I block the duo lense, it states to unblock it.. so it's working. I...

So, after 8 months of use, my M8 is finally in a situation where I'm kind of sick of it running so poorly. In the past I've always had these issues over time, but I always contributed it mainly to running custom ROM's. Well, when I got my M8, it ran so well I decided to leave it stock. Well it's...

It frustrates me quite a great deal that my android is such a great phone (M8), but it turns so dumb when it comes to BT connectivity. The way I have it now, hands free is all but pointless. I like to use it for my phone so I can actually be safe and hands-free, without neglecting my calls and...

Bump. How does no one use this in their car Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

After all this is there even any major updates with 4.4.4? It doesn't really seem like it except for the voice change but does that really even impact anything for us? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

I haven't been around here much but are there any updates coming anymore? I don't get it we were supposed to have an update months ago. I'm pretty out of touch in general now. I guess we're still on 4.4.3, what are the stable custom roms at? Should I just accept we're not getting updates and...

bump. Found that there's a hidden 'car' app that I can only appear to find if searching through google now. This 'may' do what I want. I tried it once and it didn't appear to understand anything I said. I also couldn't seem to find a setting that automatically puts it in car mode, rendering the...

So I'm seeing if I can replace the default voice dial application. It's the one that pops up if you swipe down from lock screen, and allows you to tell the device to make a call. My car is bluetooth enabled, and when I hit the corresponding button on my car, it allows me to make a call. However...

It's a well known engineering firm, which makes it so crazy that someone in her office would do that. She has had half the office helping her out with no one able to find anything. No one can get in the office without a badge, as you said. Unfortunately, the only security cameras are in the...

She has insurance so isn't a giant deal if someone wipes it. Much more worried about stolen pictures, info, etc. As far as I can tell, if they have it in Airplane mode, they have free reign to view everything in her phone. Have already notified Verizon and will be filing a police report as well.

I believe my girlfriend's phone (verizon M8) may have been stolen, and also turned off, or put into airplane mode. I can not find any info about options for tracking it down if it doesn't have service currently turned on. She says it was taken from a desk in her office. She called the phone...

Wondering what messaging apps all of you are using.. and if you have any recommendations. I absolutely love the stock app aside from two major faults: disappearing keyboard/lockup on each sent message, and no quick reply in notification drawer. But I really love the look and layout of it...

Good to hear. Happened on a phone I had once. Likely pushed up against it when it was in your pocket and never realized it. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

Your screen is broken. Sorry to make fun but lol at you trying to screenshot a broken screen, haha. Hopefully you're still within 6 months as HTC replaces for free if I'm not mistaken Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

Is there any word on when they will re release the update? It was never pushed to me. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

Also wondering when the fix will come out. I was never pushed the update. Anything major on it? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

A refurb is exactly what I'm afraid of. I don't want to trade in a phone with cosmetic issues for one with potentially worse issues. Any way of getting them to send a new one? AT&T has been nothing short of great for me in the past but Idk about getting a new phone replacement. Sent from my...
