Spoke to HTC directly and it's still under warranty for free repair but makes no sense to pay a bunch of money to send it USA then to spend more to bring it back down through customs etc. (spoke to ezone and they said you still have to pay import duties etc).

Google has leap-frogged over Apple to take the top spot in a global ranking measuring the value of the world's biggest brands.
Google saw a 40 percent year-on-year increase and is now worth to $159 billion making it top of Brown Optimor's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands study, commissioned by WPP. The study calculates brand value by looking at its potential and current buyers alongside financial data.
"Google has been hugely innovative in the last year with Google Glass, investments in artificial intelligence and a multitude of partnerships that see its Android operating system becoming embedded in other goods such as cars", Nick Cooper, managing director of Millward Brown Optimor said in a statement.
Apple was knocked off the top spot after three years as the world's number one, after its brand's value fell 20 percent to $148 billion. A perception the Silicon Valley giant no longer redefines technology for its customers, as evidenced by a lack of new product launches, was behind the dip, according to the report.
Nonetheless, the fact Google and Apple took first and second place reflects technology brands' growing dominance.
The top four most valuable brands – Google, Apple, IBM and Microsoft – all belonged to technology companies. The average technology brand is worth $45.9 billion, sitting way above the average brand value of £24.9 billion.
And all together, technology brands were worth the most in 2014 at $841.5 billion compared with telecoms, at $330 billion and retail with $280 billion.
They also trumped regional banks $251 billion, global banks $124 billion and personal banks $111.5 billion whose brands recovered after the fallout from the global financial crisis.
The Top 100 have a combined value of $2.9 trillion and have increased by 49 percent since 2008. Their resurgence is a reflection of global growth which followed the end of the 2007 financial crisis.
"This year's index highlights the end of the recession, with a strong recovery in valuations and, for the first time, real growth across every category and the Top 100 as a whole," David Roth, CEO of The Store, WPP said in a statement.
Continental Europe saw the biggest increase in brand value, and its top 10 valuable brands soared 19 percent. The increase was a reflection of improved outlook for a number of euro zone countries, who had previously been crunched during the region's debt crisis.
In contrast to this, emerging markets brands struggled, as China's slowing growth and economic weakness in Latin America hurt brand value.
Asia's banks saw their brand values decline and this reflected concerns over China's economy. However, this was offset by the impressive growth of two Chinese technology brands, social network and internet portal Tencent and search engine Baidu.
Latin America slipped further after suffering a 13 percent decline a year ago. Two Brazillian brands – oil and gas company Petrobas and personal care company Natura – saw steep declines.

i dont understand the need for this.
changing launchers not hard at all. i personally using nova prime years now without issue and like the additional features.
after all its android, we shouldnt have to stick with stock and find all kinds of workarounds when there are easier options out there.

S, you have the next issue too with media server? I had that on my HOX. Or you just added a set of files and it was refreshing?
