This. Exactly my experience too. The replacement phone battery is a bit better (36 hours to go from 100% to 1% with moderate use, no gaming), phone doesn't seem laggy, and most important it does not get as warm as the old one did.

Yes. Me too. And I'm no longer convinced that channel 1 was my fix. Rebooting the router probably did the trick. Hoping its not a temporary fix though...

Don't know if this is your cause, but If it's formatted NTFS it probably won't be recognized. Usually needs to be FAT or exFAT. I have a 64G thumb drive and it worked fine with the adapter that came in the box, so it definitely can work. No app install needed. After you plug in the stick you...

Got the phone today. Awesome device. It connected to my work wifi just fine, great throughput. Came home, set it up on my home wifi, after entering password it connected but no internet throughput. Played with phone settings, deleted and re-added the home network, no good. Finally went into...

Because why??? Enquiring minds want to know...

Hmm, I hadn't considered ADB to computer backup. Wonder if that'll actually work.

Great recommendations, thank you! I recall having tried Helium on my HTC One M8 a couple of years ago before I'd rooted it. It didn't work too well for me back then, but perhaps It's gotten better, so I'll give it another look.

I'll try it too, thanks!

I'm curious, how did your Note 5 get bricked?

Greetings everyone, I'm looking for some advice. For the past 6 years I've had only daily driver phones that were rooted and boot unlocked. On Friday that'll change when my Note 7 arrives, it was simply too compelling a phone to pass up. BUT, the two things I'm sure I'll miss are 1) full device...

Guess I'll just count myself lucky... Maybe I should head over to the casino

Something I just remembered from a previous conversation with Fedex is that the pickup option is available only if there are appropriate pickup locations within a certain distance of your home address. They have to be fairly close geographically. My pickup location is a Fedex Office store...

No, I don't even have a Fedex account... Two possibilities that I can think of: 1) I'm lucky, 2) It was a timing thing and the option becomes available only at a certain point or window in the shipping process. I was checking my status 2 or 3 times daily (OCD) and this morning the Customize...

Fedex "Customize Delivery" Fyi, I had the "Customize Delivery" option available on my FedEx tracking number page, so I switched delivery from my home address to a "Hold for Pickup at Fedex Location" near my house. Three things happened: 1) It worked. 2) The local Fedex Office store called me...

Cringe worthy :-o

Haha! I was thinking the exact same thing. If people on other carriers or Best Buy orders start delivering early I'll be on the phone to big red, not that it'll likely make any difference, but nothing to lose giving it a shot. I'll be glad to have it for the weekend though.

Yes, the same thing happened to me. Sometime today the scheduled delivery changed from the 18th to the 19th. Agreed, this sucks.

And now I have a receipt in the MyVerizon app and it gives a ship date of today (8/13)! My original order was on 8/3. Am located in Michigan.

Received this SMS 45 minutes ago: "Free VZW Msg: Your order #2489xx was received on 08/13/2016. You'll receive a text message with tracking information when your order ships.". Um, I ordered on August 3rd, and VZ just "received" it? Must be ****ty automated message semantics... Anyway, it's...

Very reassuring, thank you! I am SO looking forward to getting this phone, and really tired of seeing the "order processing" status on Verizon lol.

HTC One M8 to Note 7 because the M8 is wearing out and the Note 7 looks to be an awesome device. However I'm a bit uneasy about not having the ability to root, not being able to restore apps borked by updates, and not being able to TWRP backup the device once I have it set up the way I like...

Ordered mine midday on Aug 3. Blue coral. Jumping from an HTC One M8, anxiously awaiting word. As of this morning VZ order status is "processing" just like everyone else fwiw. Hate to admit it but I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas :-p Am excited about the design features of this...

Will have to see if this is pure marketing hype or not... https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdragon/2016/06/02/qualcomm-aqstic-sets-new-standard-audiophiles

fwiw, if we are to believe the hype... https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdragon/2016/06/02/qualcomm-aqstic-sets-new-standard-audiophiles

Sad, sad, story... But I love your writing style! Such emotion.

Easyacc for my Coral Blue Yeah I wanted clear too for the coral blue. Going to be nice upgrade from my HTC One M8! I ordered one of these, will have to see if it's any good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IVLW80Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Excellent, thank you, and also thanks for your efforts!

Greetings. Am really interested in trying out MM and def appreciate you providing the opportunity. Am s-off, running rooted stock 4.4.3, same as the past two years... My question is: If I do the "Custom s-off only RUU" and it turns out that I hate MM, can I revert back to 4.4.3 using a TWRP...

Seems to help... I just tried the solution offered in another forum (xda won't let me post the link so I'll copy and paste the information here: Open page with the available "Wi-Fi" networks (Settings, WI-FI) Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner "Wi-Fi Direct"...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice. My Verizon M8 is running 4.4.3, I am S-Off and rooted. I don't use any of the Sense apps, and most are disabled via Titanium Backup. Nova Launcher is my interface. I use xposed with modules to do some minor tweaks (including restoring the ability to...

So I'm having only partial success, there are problems, maybe you can advise? 1) I Googled and found a TWRP install video. Did the "fastboot flash recovery" command flashing the file you pointed me to "Test_TWRP-2.7.1.0-m8_OS_Version_Fix.img". Seemed to flash over fine. 2) Phone boots into...

Next Steps? First, want to say THANK YOU! I have a stock Verizon M8 and am fairly new to this, paid my 25 bucks and Sunshine ran fine and i have S-off. The last things I'd like to have are permanent root and TWRP to do backups and such. It appears I have temporary root now. What is the...
