HTC One (M8) Thread

Mr E

Tempted to try a ROM this weekend. Sky Dragon, Red Bull or Resurrection....

Mr E

I installed Sky Dragon last night, so I'm all marshmallowed up. Seems great so far.

Some new UI flourishes, the new permissions stuff is pretty prominent and it's very smooth running.
Time will tell how much the battery has improved.

Same here, installed Sky Dragon myself and running very smoothly so far. Hope it improves battery life as performance was never really an issue. So far no bugs for me either, very solid rom.

So what we all think of marshmallow and sense 7. No real changes. Navigation keys at bottom.

One thing I like is I can disable apps I don't use.

Might get the battery lasting longer

Doze should be set up so that all apps save power. In your power management settings, you only set the apps that you don't want to save power with.....I think it's a little bit confusing the way they've done it.

Like the upgrade. Keyboard seems to be better too , however, ever since upgrading the 'double tap' to wake doesn't work. It's enabled but doesn't work. Didn't realize how much I used it!

Anyone else has this issue?

phill106

Is anyone else having issues with youtube videos after update?

Is dose the one you go through developer options, advanced and inactive apps.

It's meant to over time deactivate apps u don't use but you can do it manually too

Can anyone get that ui system tuner thing working.

Where you hold the setting button till it spins

Doze is just the normal battery saver that is built into marshmallow. To be honest, I don't think it makes a huge difference, although I have left my phone for 7 hours overnight without losing any battery percentage.

The only problem I found was that certain apps needed to be stopped from dozing. Sometimes I received Whatsapp messages hours after they were sent, for example.

The navigation keys were always on the keyboard you just needed to turn them on. I just got my update and other than the keyboard I can't see much of a difference but time will tell.

Just a simple question. Does anybody know is there a max download speed of Android phones wirelessly. Laptop speed tests are about double what I see on phone.

I know this is a M8 thread but seem to be stuck on the "Android is upgrading" screen on my M9 with the Marshmallow update.

It did the two main updates, updated the apps and then went to this screen about 30 min ago.

Anyone had to wait this long?

I'm having serious battery drain. It was charged to 100% this morning and now I had to turn it off at 8% about an hour ago. I was getting 2 days out of it before that.
"Android System" seems to be taking up most of the battery.

Depends on the phone really, there isn't a set limit.

Has phone settled down for you since?

How are people finding battery life after marshmallow update in general?

dropped mine into the sea a few months ago and, minor miracle only, the speaker is a bit off since.

Got the Marshmallow OTA update last week. However since the update I can't connect to my (eir) home wifi at all. I can connect to all other wifi connections as normal including including free public ones (Dublin bus).

However there's nothing wrong with my home wifi. My tablet, sonos, server, laptop, chromecast plus other mobiles in the house all connect to the WiFi no issue. Tried resetting router and and phone but no sign of a fix. Don't want to factory reset.

Any ideas what could be going on and how to fix? Very annoying

What channel is the home wifi using? (hope it's not channel 11, 12, 13.)
Log onto the router, change the channel to something like 6.
Also when, you're logged into the router, try and add the Mac address of your phone to the list of DHCP clients.

Since my M8 was updated when i get a call over the bluetooth in the car the names no longer show up only the numbers,the music player dosent come on as it used to either.

Cap, no idea, never had a netopia router. I've only ever done it using UPC's routers.

No it hasn't. It's absolutely shocking.

It was fully charged at 2am last night so I plugged it out. I went back to sleep and work at 7.30 and you can see just how much battery was used.





I don't know how to go about fixing this. I have uninstalled all updates from the Facebook app and disabled it so it's not that as you can see.

I can't tell if you're serious - the answer is right there in front of you - look at the line under "Awake".

This has nothing to do with HTC or Android.
You have a dodgy app - FORCING your phone to stay awake - it's actually amazing the battery did last that long.

Either disable all your apps, and test each of them over time or do a factory reset.

Battery optimisation was off so I'm gonna try that on all apps.

Android OS is down as always on and so is fitbit despite all day sync being off. I had no problems with fitbit and battery before the update.

I should also mention that boomsound seems to always be on and it won't turn off because it's in use.

Bit of an odd one here, I have an M8 with a 64GB card, my wife has an M8s with the same brand 64gb memory card.

We both have the exact same taste in music so both cards hold around 50gb in music, now here's where it gets odd.

Some days i'll just listen to some music through my bluetooth speaker, will play all, shuffle on so could go anywhere, my phone though, when on full shuffle, will only play artists beginning with A, B or C. The wife's phone is fine, will play anything.

I put her card into my phone and same again, will only play bands beginning with A,B or C yet my card in her plays everything????

T-Mobile US are supposedly pushing android N to the M8, and other variants will receive afterwards. Crazy if true, with the M8 being 3 years old now.
