you know, i brought this up. i said, why is it that the One X has the option to make recent apps button into menu by long press etc..what possible reason could verizon have had for getting rid of it? he said he doesn't know, but it was def the carrier's plan to do that, not HTC's. so ridiculous
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
even more stupid then..hopefully its changed
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
gotta blame verizon, they dictated how they wanted this phone. it's probably them flexing their muscles to prove they own us :P lol

The kernel on stock uses almost 70% and drains the battery with an enormous wake lock...
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
yeah? can you post a pic? mine hasn't had a bad wakelock..i typically get around 30% wake time when i get likea 14 hour day outta the phone
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
I've barely used my phone today as you can tell by the screen on time and the app percentages. So... something is wrong.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
That looks like you could have a rogue app or something. I've never seen mine above 25. And its at 11 right now.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
The worst part is since I'm not rooted, I would have to go through and figure it out by uninstalling them or disabling them one by one. I don't see how I have a rogue app.

I can't even figure out where to start looking. Ughhhh.
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Really to be honest at close to 5 hrs screen on time I will get 12 hours total. Is your phone 100% stock or do you have any maybe non kosher pirated apps going on that might not show up in that app. Kernel is still software related and I'm not understanding why yours is so out if wack with everybody else. You have complained about this in several threads now.
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
dude, you've got something wacky going on. my kernel is never above like 17% and DEF doesn't keep it awake anywhere near that long, even after a 14 hour day... :(
[HTC Droid DNA] dr_drache:
just some FYI on wakelocks,

the kernel DOES have UPTO 25% of MSM_HSIC wakelocks. which can, and does (for MOST people) sap over 10% of battery per day.

https://github.com/dsb9938/DNA_JB_Kernel/

commits #1

Commits #2

both of those (plus others now I am pretty sure) fix a large % of it, and it's made a large difference, the msm_hsic wakelocks have

been reported to the HTC kernel devs responsable for the DNA.

do find it funny, someone will blame PIRATED apps. really?
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Sorry I was up late and pirated is what came out. What I really meant was some apps from the app store like mp3 downloaders install other hidden garbage on your phone. I in no way condone piracy of any kind and my bad for suggesting that. But there really is a lot of crap out there. Sorry again. Happy Holidays.
[HTC Droid DNA] dr_drache:
all good, I figured it was innocent, but you are correct, rogue apps. then can cause these issues
[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
I haven't been able to figure out the exact cause, but on some WiFi networks (it seems only on WEP networks, but I'm not sure) the phone won't connect and says the network key is incorrect. The only way to connect is to set a static IP address. This occurs on all 3 of our DNAs, one of which is running UKB and cubed kernel, the other two are stock and locked. It only occurs on a few specific networks, some of which I know were Verizon fios routers with WEP, the others I'm not sure about. I tested the WiFi networks with other android devices I have (HTC Sensation and HTC G2) and neither of them had a problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
Former Rezound user here.

In my area, the DNA radio is very weak for data (both 3G and 4G), compared to my Rezound.

Speedwise, In my house, I could pull 18 down on my Rezound. I only get around 11 on my DNA. At work, it's almost useless.

So I'd like to see HTC update the radio soon.

[HTC Droid DNA] markalyea2:
I might be a lucky one, the only issue that's worth noting is my back button will occasionally decide not to work even though I feel the heptic feedback and from time to time my phone is so fast it will actually run away from me. All I need now to be completely content with this phone for years to come is I need a more stable root to get rid of my warranty. But no rush. For me the main advantage at this point would really only be ad away and maybe removing that over the top WiFi nag... AOSP wouldn't be to bad either ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] vdChild:
You're gonna be waiting a really long time for a more "stable" root... lol
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Well considering jcase says he has one and is working on getting it releaseable...
[HTC Droid DNA] avenator14:
MHL Problems

One thing I've noticed is that, when connecting my MHL Cable with a charger, the phone will lag a lot and image quality on the display of my TV looks really crappy even though its 1080p. Additionally, when I unplug my MHL cable, the phone sometimes goes into a Sleep of Death, requiring a long hold of the power button and reboot to fix.
[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
I believe that you are referring to the method that jcase provided shortly after the phone came out. Based on the posts I've seen I'm not aware of anything more "stable" coming down the pipe.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
No, I'm referring to a tweet from jcase about 2 weeks ago saying he has a safer, faster, easier method and was working on getting it releaseable.
[HTC Droid DNA] markalyea2:
Not to mention the guy (can't exactly recall who) that claims to have a more stable and s-off root method. Although I take claims as such as a grain of salt, this one seems ever so slightly more promising. Either way I'll give in to whatever root method is out in a month or two and hope for no mandatory updates between now and then.
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
What we released is stable as it gets, as long as directions are followed correct, you won't have an issue.

Yes we are working on *another* just as stable one, that may just be easier to do, but it won't see the light of day AT LEAST until this one no longer works.
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
I have Nova and my wife - Apex. For both of us the home button stops working occasionally. Turning the screen on and off fixes the issue.

Also occasionally I would wake the phone up and it would have no signal at all. Toggling the airplane mode on and off gets the signal back. I used to get the no sim card error. That stopped after I swapped the sim card. Not sure what to do with this issue though. The biggest problem is that the phone misses calls when it looses signal like this.
[HTC Droid DNA] jimm2:
Several of us in this thread have reported a bug to HTC with their email app. The issue is that attachment downloads are extremely slow with an exchange account.

I'll just say the responses we're getting from HTC support are not very helpful to say the least.

[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
ahh, thanks for the update, jcase! i was waiting to see if you had another method up your sleeves, but i suppose i'll just root with the current method.

honestly, all of the "this could potentially brick your phone" things in that thread are what worried me, despite the fact i've rooted so many android phones, tablets, and even did the fun s-off wire trick method on the Rezound without ever worrying..

i guess i worry since i spent full off contract price for the first time on my DNA lol...
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
Those warnings are mainly there so the devs can't be held accountable if someone does mess up during the process. If you follow the instructions you should be fine.

Jcase, are there checksums available for the files we need to download? I kind of just trusted that they downloaded fully, but it would be nice for future users to be able to check. By the way, thanks for all you do!
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
The only thing I've noticed that I'd like to do, and can't, is to have my bluetooth headset have the ability to enter text in text boxes (sms/notes/etc). Either I haven't found the right combination of buttons, switches, or apps, or it isn't possible.

I've seen a couple of blogs saying that JB4.2 might fix this, but.... we'll see.

Messaging lag, Slow Contact suggestion

This started after I got a bunch of SMS messages on the phone.

When opening Messaging app and starting to type a contact name, the contact suggestions will take up to 5 seconds to appear.

It was instant when I first started using the phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
yeah that happens to me too..their whole MMS app is very slow with everything...refreshing, loading names, etc. i tried others but i love the lock screen integration.

A couple times a day my sim card goes out and I have no data. I reboot and it goes away. Anyone else?
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
weird, i've never seen that...i'd say that could be a faulty sim card. might wanna get a new one from verizon. i remember hearing about a faulty batch of sim cards going out a month or so ago
[HTC Droid DNA] kameleongt:
I have this issue with my dna one week old its happened about 4 times I lose all data. This sim is from when I purchased my gs3 release. I began thinking it's my phone because it took verizon sales guy 30-45 min to "program" the phone and now I'm having this disconnection issues.

[HTC Droid DNA] Homestar1217:
I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this problem. My Exchange work email does the same thing, painfully slow attachment downloads. My temporary solution has been to set the app to automatically download attachments under 500kb, which covers most everything I get. By the time I look at the emails the attachments are there. For now it works.

My other main complaint is the camera. The focus issue needs to be fixed. This phone will not focus on anything even remotely close to the lens. That's a terrible problem to have, which means I can't use this phone as a point and shoot device. Deal-breaker, but it looks like it could be fixed with software. Hopefully they work on it.
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
just as an update guys, my awesome customer support guy at HTC is diggin this thread and they're def. reading it. i'm still in contact with him, and this level of support is just amazing! so keep any issues you have coming, and i promise HTC will see them.

Contact selection lag

UPDATE: I've been trying to pare down the number of messages/thread stored in SMS app in order to try to find out if that solves the contact selection lag issue, but for some reason they don't get deleted. I have the maximum # of SMS messages set to 30 right now, and some threads are still keeping 50 messages, which is the previous amount I had it set to.

Ran into a AndroidRuntime error last night/this morning where "android.process.acore" kept force closing. I did some digging and found it was getting this error:

After some Internet searching, common sense (reading the exceptions + having a computer science background), etc. I found it could be something with the "Contacts Storage" app and if you clear data from that app it might fix the issue. It does clear all your contacts from your phone but you can just re-sync them from your google account.

After clearing all the data from that app and re-syncing my contacts everything seems to be working correctly now, I haven't had a FC of the "android.process.acore" since. I'll update if it reappears.

Not sure if it's a problem with the phone, the SIM card, the software, or something else, but occasionally while at work, I'll drop all bars and have that little icon that indicates the SIM card is removed next to it. I work at Radioshack so it has absolutely nothing to do with reception as when it does work, I always get full bars. However, it seems to only happen at work as I've not once had it happen while I was off duty. Restarting the phone always clears up the issue. Perhaps a manufacturing defect, but posting just to be sure.

About 90% of the time I open a text message it will default to the top of the conversation so that I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to read the new message. Also, when viewing pictures, sometimes the back button does not work even though I can feel the tactile feedback. Rapidly pressing it seems to be the only thing that fixes it but then it usually goes back too far.

The Exchange ActiveSync gives a "sync error" and asks for a new PIN / Password to be set.

No matter how many times you set a new one, it keeps giving the same error.

Getting rid of that big ugly 3dot menu was the tip of the iceberg for me. And as I understand it it was Verizon's idea to keep it so I don't see how somebody from htc is going to fix that. The ability to disable that is there on the one x which has been out a year almost. Verizon while has an awesome network cripples software and only renders such great hardware halfway useful. Just look at how the Gnex is like 4 versions behind its gsm counterparts. I'm pretty sure Google and Samsung would prefer it to be on par with the other Nexus.

My issues to be fixed

First I want to say, "Thanks", to the OP for starting this thread and being in touch with HTC about it.

1) As others have mentioned, the last time stamped in All Messages app displays the last MMS received, not the last text message.

2) Data drops with the Mobile Hotspot app when tethering.

This is my 3rd DNA. #1 I had replaced in store with a new one because of the data drops. Did a factory reset, no go. Replaced Sim card, no go...replaced it with a new #2. It also suffered with data drops, for the heck of it did a factory reset, no help. This one I had dropped and cracked the beautiful screen...in slow motion...NOooooooo...yes.

Had it replaced in one day through insurance! It at first seemed to be better but now I'm experiencing it again at times :( I had this issue with my Inc4G, but the new replacement was stable and didn't have the problem any more. I'm thinking it may be Verizons app but I don't know? Radios? Anyway, I'm just hoping that HTC can provide a fix to make the Hotspot stable again like it was on my TB! Thanks in advance for any help!

When opening a group text from the lock screen or notification bar pull down, the action will take you to the sms thread of the person who sent the message that triggered the notification, instead of to the group text thread. Very annoying.

Also, when switching the screen brightness to automatic, the brightness setting should then keep the screen brightness to ambient light level ratio. Current level is pretty much always too bright, and minimum level is too bright as well, even when setting manually.
