I was given my stepsister's myTouch 3g slide after she left T-Mobile. I figured I would jump on Simple Mobile and save some cash with my new free phone, but the honeymoon quickly ended when I trying to make phone calls caused the phone to crash and reboot itself. I tried all the standard resets, but still the problem persisted. Not only that, but trying to pair the bluetooth caused the same problem.
So I figured, what the heck, might as well root the phone and see what putting a newer android will do. Incidentally, surfing the web and using any internet function is just fine.
Now, post root and post Cyanogen 6.1.1 install, the phone no longer crashes, but it doesn't always make or receive calls either. If I try to call someone, it just says "Dialing..."and nothing happens. If I call the phone, it doesn't ring, but doesn't go straight to voicemail either. Also, text messaging is not operational when this happens.
If I reboot the phone a few times, I can get calling to work again and I can be on a call with no problems. Then I hang up, try to dial again.... <silence>.
I updated the radio to the latest I could find 7.09.... didn't help. It seems like there's a hardware issue here. I did find one or two other people with this problem and after returning several phones, they were able to get back in business.
Also further leading me to believe that it's something with the radio hardware is that when calling fails, I can't go into airplane mode (it won't disable the radio) and I can't search networks ("error while searching networks").
Unfortunately, now that I'm not with T-Mobile, I guess I can't ask for a repair. Any suggestions?

So you don't have a tmobile plan? What's simple mobile? Anyway my first suggestion is to get a new sim card. Faulty sim cards can cause things like this.

Did you try what I suggested to the last guy and get a new sim card? And changing your APN's will only screw up your internet access and MMS/SMS functionality, it wouldn't affect phone calls.
Not Yet
I have not yet got a new sim card. I guess i'll update when I do that. It's for a friend of mines. Also apparently there are a lot of people having this issue (on phandroid, android forums, htc forums, and tmobile forums)..
I'll try cleaning it for now since it's all I can do tonight.
Thanks for your help. Speak soon.
Hi all,
have been having major trouble with my HTC desire HD, a while back it started launching Google Navigation of its own accord and now does it so frequently my phone is as good as a paperweight,
It normally pops up and starts by saying I need to go to settings to turn on my GPS to allow Google Navigation to work, thing is I dont want it working, I didnt open it
I tried leaving on the GPS to see if it would leave me alone then, but it doesnt it keeps launching telling me to buy a license to use Google Navigation
I saw a thread online about deleting the maps and data that Google Navigation uses from the phone when connected to computer via usb, tried that, it still launches itself, instead telling me I need to download the maps that I just deleted. Have since let it redownload the maps, left GPS on, said yes to everything it asked and it still wont leave me alone.
Whenever it launches it shuts down whatever I was doing which is infuriating, and now does it every 30 seconds or so, even when the phone is locked it lights up showing the lock screen because that app has started itself again
I will do anything to be able to delete this app and get my phone back
Do I need to root it? Will that let me get rid of this #bleeping bleeper#? I have never rooted a phone and am not sure about how to do it or whether I need to downgrade my software, or how to do that. Hence the plea
I have read the thread here:

Rooting Your HTC Desire HD is the best thing EVER!!! I did myself 2 months ago and flashed the Xtreme Surprise ROM and I have to say absolutly SMOOTH ! I cannot believe the battery now keeps me the whole day if I am on the internet all day. I am very pleased with it and in rooting you can block that with Ez Task Manager from keeping starting up. Can I help you out to root your device if you want.
if your phone is having problems, i wouldnt suggest rooting it. Do a factory reset on it and wipe it and see if you can correct the problems before possibly making it worse. my 2 cents
Yes!!! awesome, thanks for the offer of help, PM'd

Hoping someone can provide some direction. First and foremost I am not a HTC savvy so although there are a few threads here about the same issue none of them relate to me as I have not rooted the phone nor flashed to custom ROMs or anything to that nature. I am simple user of the phone... Now.. to the topic.. so I bought this phone for my brother in law last year as a birthday present, and at the time I had a working phone so I didnt put my mind too much to it.. but I did liked the phone very much. Two months ago, I decided to purchase one of these, so I bougtht an HTC ONE X Phone S720e Android 32GB 8MP 3G WiFi GPS Bluetooth Unlocked White. I don´t recall what versión of Android it carried at the time but looking at the specs it should had come with Android 4.0.3. After loading it up, transfering my files on to it and loading some basic apps, whatsapp, email, Skype... it off coursed asked for a software update two times which I went ahead and did. The last one it installed added Android 4.2.2 and HTC Sense 5. It was working fine, layout changed considerably... now after doing another of the updates to applications and software, specifically the transfer files update it suddenly quit recognizing data services completely. I though it might be something with the micro sim, so I tried testing a couple of others, it didnt make a difference so I decided to back up my contacts and information I had on the phone and did a Factory reset. It wipped it clean but issue remains the sames, it is unable to even recognize the sim card is missing and when I go into settings I see the message Disconnected because service is unavailable.
Reading online, saw a few folks stating that this situation was related to software updates.. so I was wondering if I could get some help on how to get this fixed. Not sure what to do, downgrade to 4.0.3 or how could I get it resolved so appreciate some direction here.
If you go to settings - about - phone identity, does it still shows the imei ? Seen many people here having their imei gone from their phone and becomes an iPod since we can't write it back. Tho you are on stock, so better send it for repair.

It shows up as unknown actually... is this a software related issue then? Im concerned about the other phone going through the same situation... should no updates be installed to it then? That makes it fairly useless and might prefer to send it back and try to get a refund instead.

Hi, so I recently upgraded the stereo in my car to an appradio 3, I did this so I could mirror my phone onto the screen of the radio. I chose this unit because it is mirrorlink compatible just as our HTC one m8s are. Street several attempts at connecting I have had no luck at getting it to work. I'm doing everything right as far as instructions but something is going wrong. My question is has anyone been able to get this phone working with this radio? And if so, what have you done to make it work?
Edit: forgot to mention that connecting to two of my friends Sony units it works perfectly. Is it possible I have a defective device? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Have you changed the USB settings on the phone to activate the mirror link through usb?
It's in Settings > More > Mobile Network Share > USB Network Settings, then select the last one (translated from German to English, hope the entry's are similar)
Honestly haven't tried it myself
Gesendet von meinem unknown mit Tapatalk
@tomoffel hey tried your advice and still a no go. When I connect my phone it automatically switches to mirrorlink and it says connection is active however nothing changes on the head unit. I might just have to contact Pioneer hope my unit is not defective.
Have you opened the 'car' app in the app drawer? it does not open itself first time its used.
@TheAngelus Hi tried opening up the app beforehand and still a no go. The phone makes the connection and all however the head unit fails to show the mirrorlink app.

I have a 2014 Honda Civic with the Display Audio Unit that supports Mirrorlink. Although the screen mirroring and audio seem to transfer only through the USB connection, it still requires that the phone has been paired using Bluetooth. I'm not sure if that is a requirement of the phone or the car's Display Audio unit. It needs to be connected by both USB and Bluetooth to work though. Once both connections are established, the HTC Car app becomes available on the car's display audio unit.
Is your phone rooted or with a custom rom? i've read that can break the mirrorlink app as the M8 has only just got added as an acceptable mirrorlink device with the latest firmware. Also, check if your headunit has the latest firmware?

That is a good point.
I would imagine that if the custom ROM does not include the mirrorlink functionality, then it obviously won't work. Having a rooted phone and being S-Off is ok, but if the bootloader is unlocked, it will not work. I have an AT&T HTC One M8. When I got the phone, it had Android 4.4.2 on it with HTC SDK API 6.17. All worked well with my phone and my car's Display Audio unit. When AT&T released the new OTA update, it upgraded to Android 4.4.3 and HTC SDK API 6.25, which really screwed things up for me. When I would put the car into drive, the HTC Car App that gets mirrored to the car's Display Audio unit was replaced with a message that said, "For safety reasons, this application cannot be displayed while driving". So, there was no longer any way to view any Navigation, Music or anything else when the car was in drive. My only option was to try to downgrade. So, I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, then S-Off'd (using Sunshine) my phone. I then used an HTC ruu to downgrade my phone. Once that was all done, I was greeted with a message saying "Smartphone not compatible" any time I plugged my phone into the car's Display Audio unit, which ended up being because my bootloader is unlocked. I relocked my bootloader and everything started working again normally. My phone is re-rooted and still S-Off and that causes no problems.

Well my phone is rooted and I'm on a custom rom, I am running the latest viper currently. Also as far as I know the head unit is also on the latest firmware but the last update was from Oct 2013, maybe they need to update their mirrorlink app to support latest added devices. Still what is strange to me is that it will run perfect on my friends Sony head unit even with custom rom. I guess I can try going back completely stock and locking my boot loader to see if that works. I will report back once I get the time to do this. Hopefully someone else can chime in with a solution before this. Haha

I just bought a new One M8 and updated it right away. Now I'm on 4.4.4 and only the Music app would show up while driving. I really wanted to use Google Maps as navigaton app but it always gets hidden whit a simmilar message as ericksonline's when I start driving. I find this very frustrating. Is downgrading the only option to get this working?
Should it be the only option, I think I'll send the One M8 back to the seller and will look for another smartphone...

What kind of device are you connecting your phone to? What phone carrier are you using (AT&T, Verizon,...)?
Downgrading was the only way I could get it to work.... and it was a long, scary road to accomplish. I had to unlock the bootloader, add SuperSU, and S-Off my phone (using the paid Sunshine method). After doing all of that I was able to use an RUU that I downloaded directly from HTC and downgrade the phone. Now, I'm running 4.4.2 again. My phone is still unlocked, s-off and has SuperSU installed. I can connect my phone to the car and I get the HTC Car app startup. But the really cool part is that with the Xposed framework I was able to re-map the home button to go back to my phone's home screen (instead of the HTC Car home screen). Now I can do anything on it while I'm driving - and it looks really cool. It was a long road to getting it working this way, but it is now pretty awesome.

Hi this sounds really cool. I was hoping that it would work out of the box....
I have a radio "Composition Media" - this is the marketing name. It was preinstalled in my VW. Unfortunately I haven't found out what the exact model name of the headunit is. I bought my phone directly from amazon.de and it has no branding. My carrier is Vodafone Germany, but i don't see how this is relevant.
Can you point me to the some thread, that describes how you managed to get it working?
Thanks a lot!

Yeah. It is pretty awesome! It isn't perfect though. One problem is that when I use the phone on the headunit, all audio must come from the phone. That means I can't just listen to the radio on the car. I must listen to audio from something on the phone. This can be problematic. Although the Mirrorlink connection requires both USB and Bluetooth, it appears that all audio is passed through the USB when Mirrorlink is active. The Mirrolink service must have a low priority. If there are too many things running on with the phone, the audio can become choppy. Now that I understand what causes the audio to be choppy, I can usually prevent the problem. Usually just rebooting the phone is enough to make it work perfect. Still, it can be annoying when it is happening.
The reason that I wondered what headunit and carrier that you have is because I only know how it works using my own devices. It is possible that the headunit in the VW works a little different than the one in my Honda Civic. I am thinking that they are probably similar enough that they should both work the same though. All of the brains for the Mirrorlink lives in the phone. The car seems to simply provide a feedback to the phone to say when it is driving. So, I am pretty sure you will be ok with your headunit. The phone carrier is important only because of how the RUU's are packaged. I used an AT&T RUU from HTC to downgrade my phone. I was 100% confident that the RUU would work with my phone's hardware because it was installed on the phone previous to me updating. I'm pretty sure that the version of Android doesn't matter too much. It is more likely that what causes the Mirrorlink to work differently is the version of HTC Sense (mine is currently 6.0) or the HTC SDK API level (mine is currently 6.17). You can find this information under settings, about, software information. If you want to try to downgrade, I think you will want to find an RUU that has a similar version of HTC Sense and HTC SDK API that I have.
Now that I have explained some of the difficulties, if you are still interested in trying to downgrade, I can write something up for you. There isn't just one thread. I used many threads for each step and asked many questions along the way. The risk is that you can do all of this and it may NOT work for you as your setup is a bit different than mine. You have to make many changes to your phone. Some could partially or completely void your phone's warranty. Some can brick your phone if done incorrectly. It is a lot of risk, but the results are pretty awesome if it works.
Hi guys. I'm full, i can't resist more. I bought the Sm-n920a from aliexpress, but was such a bad refurbished one, with camera over saturated, fake s pen, battery wasted (discharges in 6 hours completely even without use), and most of all, LOW RECEPTION. This problem is the worst, becouse i'm everytime out of signal, doing network search every time i enter in a building, or when i'm in a poor 4g zone. There's nothing else of 4g in this note, 4g and 4glte are the 2 only networks and they are not fast as on another phone i used to test.
There's no possibility to return it back, it's a long story, so forgot this.
Now, if i change MANUALLY all the pieces, can return "Normal"? even if the system is **** as hell...
If i change the coaxial antennas, my signal will improve? What i need to change in the hardware for better reception?
Please answer soon.. i need help.
First I'm sorry to hear that you were suckered into buying an AT&T phone. The demand on the battery by bloatware is so incredibly high that unless the user is very proactive in disabling it all it will wear hard on the Lithium battery.
(They don't like being hot or pulled from hard for a long time. If you mix those two items you get rapid cell death)
Before the person sold you the phone it is very likley they tried to root it, or flash a custom rom. After lots of flashing to a device sometimes we have to flash it twice in a row with the official firmware. Have you tried flashing it twice in a row? Before you do anything I want to warn you that if you upgrade firmware you can't go back in most cases. This is a little confusing and it is a lot easier if you tell me what "baseband version" you are at. You can find this under DEVICE|ABOUT "baseband". The safest move for you is to simply flash that same baseband again using Odin. (3.10.6, 3.10.7, 3.12.3, or the jester hack version)
Immediately stop AT&T Software update until you understand if that's something you want. You can do that in Developer Options | Running Services. (Or via adb shell if you turn on USB Debuggin and allow the computer) ... You can also remove it as a System app.
Note: After you change settings and disallow att update to change system settings you can then also reinstall AT&T Software update and unleverage it as a system app completely!! 1) Backup the app to apk using any tool that does this. 2) copy that file to your pc 3) adb shell pm install -rts wssyncmldm.apk "or whatever the name of the apk ends up being for you:
I hope you guys can help me I bought a new leftover samsung galaxy note 5 SM-N920A unlocked sealed new in the box and the signal is absolutely miserable. I either have 1 bar that fades in and out dropped calls to nothing emergency calls only. I have my old note 4 next to it with 3 to 4 bars 4glte. Any idea on settings that can be causing this, I have done a factory reset with no apps and changed nothing in case you want to know baseband is N920AUCU5ARA1, version 7.0 Android
