That app does not work on the One. The whole turn 3 dev options on do not work.
I ended up installing HTC sync on and was able to drag things to it. Sucks I gotta use that interface to move data.

Don't know why but it has always worked for me and all my android devices.

You could use airdroid from play store it's very fast maybe faster then usb if you're Internet is fast

That app worked on all my other Droids as well. Like Stu said, just not on the M8. I would use Airdroid, but for some reason I like to be connected when moving my data. HTC Sync will do the job I guess.
Do either of you know if unlocking the bootloader will wipe data?

Yes it will, and Internal SD card (I didn't have an external one in at the time so I am not sure about that one).

Anyone have any luck getting this to work yet?

I use HTC sync... In there you can drag and drop files...

This has been addressed many times before.. here is my response from a previous thread ->

Duct tape. Or maybe rare earth magnets if you want to be able to unmount and remount it to your Mac at will.

You can also use SuperSU in place of the superuser app and it will do the same thing. (Hides root/temp unroot)
If you think about it, there is usually a reason that an App would specify unrooted only. Rooted basically equals nowhere as secure as nonrooted. So not too surprising a banking app is paranoid about security.

Go into the supersu settings. Uncheck enable super users. Then the app will work. Renable it when you need root

If this made sense why wouldn't they stop me from using a bank site from my home PC where I also have root privileges.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Yeah this makes about as much sense as Hulu only letting certain shows on its apps and forcing you to go to the web for the full catalog.
Even the cheap $350 laptops have HDMI out now, so you can just plug in your laptop and bam, there you go. I have one that the screen went out so it's just constantly plugged into HDMI so I can browse from my TV.
But yeah, back to the original point, your bank is retarded. Not allowing a rooted phone to use it makes no difference in overall security.
Well thanks guys I figured how it all works and yes my bank is retarded but hell they all are I hate banks

Have sprint locate via MSID or serial number. unless if the phone is off it won't work. you can only have track them a phone that is on your account, but since its your phone it won't be a problem.
If your still signed in to your account on the phone. Go to the play store on a PC and install "plan b" to the lost phone. Obviously if the phone has been wiped this won't work.

T-Mobile knows more than you think...

Got a notification today telling me my device health was good, and I had to check performance and this popped up:
I rooted 2 days ago and stayed stock. Anyone know how they know this?

When your phone is rooted, it knows, and so do the apps. That's why you cannot install isis wallet if your phone is rooted. In the about section in settings, it says if the device is rooted. If it says modified then it is rooted and any app can probably see that. Doesn't mean that tmobile knows it is, but the app does, and it may, or may not report this back to them.

Re: Update
T-mobile only recently updated the "my Account" app. Giving them selfs access to all kinds of stuff on your phone. This also detects the tethering mod :/
Best thing to do is uninstall the update...
Very crappy thing of them to do, But I guess they have to be like the nsa.
That's because you guys have the option to collect diagnostics enabled.. Mine is disabled and it shows unknown for everything

Actually, you granted them access by accepting the permissions. Thats why i read that stuff. And being a developer, i can usually figure out what actions fall under the required permissions too.

They went commercial, now are a official corporation. They are looking to make that money, eventually. With features like a CM account, privacy guard, secure messaging they were getting ready for it. None of those are attractive though.

it seems more likely the purchase fees will be for the added features. Allcast is the perfect example. It's a CM app on the app store that has a time limit unless you pay money. That's their future. I can easily imagine a CM rom that is basically AOSP, and a collection of appstore apps that you have to pay money for to get the "Full CM experience". Of course, if you buy a CM phone (like the oppo n1), you'd get all those for free.
Or they just collect your data and sell it on their own kinda like Google

OK Google doesn't work - how?

How did you folks manage the OK Google from any screen?
I'm on O2 UK, totally stock but running Themer. I enable Google Now and the 'any screen' button is grayed out. I enable US English but still, it won't work and won't register OK Google even 1/3 times, where it needs to be trained. Even with the Google Now launcher, it's the same.
Thanks!

If you are rooted you can enable it to work on Sense6 using exposed framework an the "Ok Google for 3rd party launchers / apps (4.4+)" module.
If this is installed you can enable the function in Google searches settings by going to Google settings > Voice.
If this method doesn't work you could try to use UnleashtheGoogle.apk (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/unleash-google-hotword-detection-t2803261). This is what I'm actually using on my M8 and works just flawlessly. I set it up after a downgrade to Google search 3.5.14 cause google removed the descriptions from the debug flag menu you otain by running UnleashtheGoogle (and believe ma you need those descriptions).

What about trying to S-Off with say SunShine. It will unlock bootloader and S-Off without data loss and you could go right away into installation of a custom recovery and rooting your device. The side effect is that you have to pay 25$ for the use of SunShine.

No SunShine does it without wiping. That's what I personally liked about it.
You get unlock without HTC knowing an without wipe and achieve S-Off.

1st: Google has to learn your pronouncing. Did you set en-Us as primary speech and you mother language as second?
2nd don't know. Maybe they have a zip to flash and remove it as well.
3rd hmmm good one too. Doesn't it if you put it onto the extSD?

For 2nd there is an answer found in the project era thread. It says no uninstall instructions, but the OP explicitly tells to run a backup prior to installing the mode for the case you want to remove it later on.

Did you place it in the back up folder and go into options and refresh app list. Plus make sure your unzipping and adding the files in there not the folder.
