A bit off topic but I think it's amazing that there are only five pages and minimal bugs after a month of this phone being released. It really shows how good HTC work to make the phone amazing.

Boomsound not being sent over Bluetooth is a bit of a bummer, but it's also a waste of time. Most Bluetooth devices (for example, my car) have beat in equalisers anyway, and this is all that Boomsound is. HTC just need to get the information regarding it a little bit better on their website.

One thing that really does annoy me, and I think it's an issue with Google more than HTC, is that when you first get the handset and you tie it to a Google Account it's never been associated with before, you will notice that certain apps that have updates don't show in the Play Store. For example my HTC Blinkfeed and Service Packs had an update, but they weren't appearing in the updates section or installed apps section. Same for Amazon MP3.

This tends to fix itself after 24 hours or so, but nonetheless it's a bug that I've been able to document with other phones too. What an annoyance.
[One (M8) General] Patrics83:
The problem is that we can't decide if we want BoomSound or not via Bluetooth.

And the default sound profile basically sucks,

and are responsible for the "loud hiss" as you call it.

I have been in contact with HTC about this issue. And after several emails between me and HTC they finally gave me this answer:

"It’s unfortunately a misprint on the website, it only works with wired headsets."

[emoji35]

With other words HTC m7 is the phone you want if you are planning to use a Bluetooth headset...

I'm more then happy with the m8 overall but the Bluetooth audio quality is really bad.

If you want HTC ti fix this problem then simply bug them about it until they do something about it.

A flagship device from HTC year 2014 shouldn't have flaws like this.

Luckily this seems to be only software related [emoji2]

My research: I have tried with two Plantronics headsets, BackBeat and Legend.

I also compared them with my old m7.

The tests have been performed on the initial software version and the current one 1.54.401.5

[One (M8) General] jaaystott:
In my Range Rover Sport and Mercedes C Class I use my phone primarily for music over Bluetooth streaming and I have no such hiss. I also use it for calls and there is absolutely nothing, it's actually an upgrade on the Nexus 5 to me and a lot better than the iPhone 5S. Maybe this is only on certain software variants, but on my EE branded phone it's fantastic. When the M7 was first released you couldn't use Bluetooth streaming from more than a meter away due to a bug, so Bluetooth issues aren't new to HTC.
[One (M8) General] Patrics83:
Well there's definitely something wrong with my device in that case. Unless you can't really tell the difference, audio can be really hard to compare in some cases. Not saying that your device has the same issues as me tho.

With the M7 I never had any problems and the audio was clear and crispy with a nice touch of bass (during phone calls and music).

Now when I think about it, I even have crackling sound from time to time.

Edit: Maybe there's a fix on it's way... link mentioned by [MENTION=535279]PhantomApollyon[/MENTION].
[One (M8) General] PhantomApollyon:
I'm not 100% sure what the fixes are but I plan on flashing it a stock ROM with the OTA And seeing if that clears anything up.

[One (M8) General] bronskrat:
Using the stock camera app, my portrait view is always black but if I go horizontal it works. If I open the app in portrait mode, it stays black. I'm guessing that it's some incompatibility with another app since other people had a bug with password apps. I don't have a password app installed.

Just figured it out -- the Rotation Anywhere app will cause the portrait screen to be black. I guess I'll need another rotation app.

No system sounds

There are no system sounds (clicking icons or home/back/recent apps). Camera shutter sound also way too quiet.
[One (M8) General] benasaur:
Chiming in on some pretty severe bluetooth problems...

In audio mode, the music blips in and out for 0.5s at a time every minute or so. After about a week, the phone now refuses to play audio through bluetooth. I can have the BT device selected on the player, and the sound will come through phone speakers. Problem is app independent; happens with other audio apps that don't play music (e.g. navigation).

Have tried disconnecting/reconnecting, pairing/unpairing/repairing. Nothing works yet. Very annoying.

Phone mode seems to still work but I seem to be getting the noise issues as well.

Have T-mobile HTC One M8.

Update 05/27/2014

: I was able to figure out the more severe problems by uninstalling Waze. BT audio now works again, but I still have the blipping problem. I reinstalled Waze and the problem will recur if I let Waze play sound. The only way to use it is to mute the app completely.

Even on mute, Waze will interrupt my music for 1-2 seconds at a time. This is noticeable because it always happens when you expect Waze to provide audible navigation directions.

Problems are only with BT music. No problems with BT phone.

Thanks to HTC Chat Support who was able to guide me through safe mode and determine that it is app-specific.
[One (M8) General] djakrse:
I'm not sure if these are related to the M8 or KitKat itself, but here are my issues with my Verizon HTC One M8:

1) Wallpaper scrolling doesn't work for many or most launchers, including Blinkfeed. I've tested and found it working only with ADW EX and Go Launcher. Not working are Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, Solo Launcher, KK Launcher, and Themer.

2) My contact card updates without my consent, after I've edited and saved with information I want it to store. This is hard to pinpoint, but I'll start with where. Go into Contacts, or Phonebook> People> My profile (top entry). The data under "INFORMATION" appears to update itself automatically with email addresses I have configured on device to check and also my wife's email address, which she entered one time in Google Play to find and download an app she wanted to use on my phone. However I DO NOT WANT this information available if I choose to "Share my contact card" and why would I?!? For example, I may want to share my mobile and home phone numbers, and I want a mobile and work email address, but why must it include every email address I have?? The steps I have taken: 1) go through and manually edit my contact card. 2) Menu> Settings offers "show events in [3 days]" and "Open account settings" -- I choose Open account settings and am directed to [Settings> Accounts & sync]. I have 3 Google accounts, my personal account used to sync phone data, my djakrse online account, used to sync email only, and my wife's account, entered by Google Play and not syncing anything. Also, the other email accounts are present and syncing. I've disabled all non-essential sync features, but do not know where else to look. I found one person's mention of this same obnoxious behavior with no response or fix. Anyone know anything?

3) Maybe a fluke (I don't want to repeat it), I once turned on airplane mode, then noticed GPS was still running for location reporting. I think I read GPS is no longer disabled during plane mode? Anyhow, I tried to disable GPS, and when I couldn't (bug/fluke?) I rebooted the phone, which resulted in a stall/freeze after the boot animation. I rebooted maybe 6-7 times, plugged in or not, tried wiping cache and dalvik from recovery, without success. I let it sit for a while to cool down and tried again and failed. I thought if there was someway I could disable plane mode during recovery it might help, so I copied the databases from /data/data/com.android.provider.settings to /sdcard, and was going to try and modify on pc and return, but there is no way to mount /sdcard from recovery, currently (KitKat feature/flaw?). Finally, I was ready to wipe data.... I made a final nandroid of data, then tried one more boot before wiping, and suddenly had success. It only took several hours.

[One (M8) General] dsmpampis:
I don't think if it's a bug but I noticed a little bit lag opening the folders, definitely has to do with the sense because on nova launcher for example there's absolutely no lag.

I am having issues with Blinkfeed on the Verizon model....

It will not bring up the menu in Chrome when trying to add custom RSS feeds.

When an RSS feed is selected, instead of getting a menu to select blinkfeed from, the browser takes me directly to the RSS XML page...

I haven't found a solution to this yet and HTC customer support can't seem to tell me what this problem is.

[One (M8) General] Zeebz:
I had an issue yesterday (just got the phone) where every 10-20 texts I'd send I'd get one that would randomly fail. When I hit resend it'd resend the text but the person would get duplicates (usually 3 of the same text). I did a factory reset and switched to the stock messaging app and it seems to have (hopefully) solved the problem. The issue was occurring in Hangouts, so maybe it's a Hangout thing. But since the factory reset and using the stock messaging app I haven't had anymore issues (knock on wood.)

I have M8 for three weeks now ( on T-mobile) and not a day goes by that i don't have a problem with ringtone volume decreasing itself and it's always a notch above silent. I tried everything, from resetting all apps to default settings, from resetting entire phone. I even went to T-mobile to diagnose if some of my apps are misbehaving but everything seems ok. 'Quiet ring on pick up' is off and still there is a problem. Also i have 2 different phone cases, with or without them there is this problem. Is it the phone, or something else that i haven't tried??!
[One (M8) General] vosg:
I noticed that System Volume is now linked to Ringer Volume. I guess this is a kitkat thing but not sure. You lower system volume and ringer volume goes down too. Maybe this helps.

I have a similar problem with o2 UK.

The ringer volume on mine becomes totally off to silent though. It happens after you receive a call and put the phone near your ear

BUG:

On o2 UK 4.4.2 completely stock, when the phone rings and I place it near to my ear, the ringer volume becomes silent and stays silent there of. HTC FIX THIS BUG PLEASE.

It does not get off silent after and if you force it to ringer on, it still keeps reverting to silent. You must go into settings to change the ringer volume a few times before your settings stick.

Device SOMETIMES rotates to all 4 direction even though auto rotate is disabled

Hi,

I got my m8 a few weeks ago, and in the past few days I noticed an annoying bug. Sometimes, without any notice, the device will start to rotate into all 4 directions. Even the home page rotates and that app doesn't even support landscape! It even allows me to hold the phone completely up side down. I do not use auto rotate at all, it is disabled at all times, and when that issue happens, I can verify that the auto rotate is disabled. When it happens, it affects the home screen and all running apps. Even apps that I told to be only portrait are rotating to all 4 directions.

I have a video of this bug happening, but I haven't posted it yet anywhere.

I tried talking to htc support chat service, but they just told me to clear the cache. Unsurprisingly, it didn't solve the problem. They insist that some app does this and it's not a phone bug.

I did some Android dev back at the time and I'm definately not an expert, but as I see it, there's no way an app can override the auto rotation setting of the phone without changing it, and there's no way an app can make the home page be in landscape but when I just do regular auto rotate (when the problem does not occur) and it doesn't rotate to landscape. Sounds like a definite phone ROM issue to me.

I currently have version 1.54.707.7 installed and I'm nervous about upgrading to 2.22.707.3. I'm afraid that they created more bugs than resolved, like it happened to me with my previous phone, Samsung S3.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Tal

UPDATE:

I switched to latest ARHD rom that can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694917

and it's awesome. All problems were solved, and I retained my sense UI look and feel.

Note that I updated to latest OTA before installing ARHD. Apparently it's something you need to do in order to update the firmware to latest.

I've found that there's a small population of M8's that after some time, lost stereo capability. When a headset jack is plugged in it will only play out of one side. I've tested this with the same pair of headphones between my computer and my M8, and also tested it between my car's head unit and my M8. Everything validates this hardware issue. Anybody else experience this?

HTC M8 Verizon Texting App Cut/Paste bug

I've had an M8 for a few months now from Verizon.

Generally very happy with except for two things. I wasn't really sure where to post this; I do not frequent this site, but I wanted to put it some where it *might* be useful, and help to get fixed someday...

The first issue, and not the one I am really writing about, which has happened since day one, is that when I tap on a number to call someone (doesn't seem to matter much where I tap from, but usually Contacts)... about 70% of the time it just stalls. You think (for the first several times anyway) that you must not have made contact, but you did. It just stalls about 10-20 seconds and then finally comes up and starts to make the call.

This is highly annoying, but had been the only complaint I'd had until recently.

Typing this now set off the light bulb in my head -I had not connected prior- that there was very recently an auto-software update from Verizon. And it seems that's approximately when this started:

I use Verizon messaging app, and much of the time now if I have typed/spoken some text, and I "Highlight all" then tap "cut", it does not cut. If I "paste" it is not there. Pretty sure "copy" not working either. Only seems to be on Verizon messaging app, so really should be reporting this to them, but god knows how to get to the info to the right people at Verizon.

Restarted the phone last night (for other reasons) and when I tried it this morning, it didn't work. But then I shut down and powered back on and cut/copy/paste was working again.

Just wanted to post FWIW.

(Possibly) Relevant phone info:

Enabling hot spot disables mobile data??

Hi,

I'm using ARHD 10.2 on my international HTC M8 and I simply LOVE THEM (the phone and the ROM). It's perfect other than the weird issue I'm having in the last couple of weeks.

When I enable mobile hot spot, the 3g data is being disabled! I can connect devices to the phone, but they can't surf the web, and the phone can't surf also while the mobile hot spot is on!

I'm not sure if it's ROM related, network related, or app related, but I was hoping that someone would know.. I haven't found any information on this issue anywhere on XDA or the web.

(This is a friends phone)

When I call someone (or get called) , I can't hear the other end. When I activate the Loudspeaker, its the other way around and the called one can't hear me but I can hear him.

With a wired or bluetooth headset it works both ways.

I tried resetting the Dialer App without success. I since upgraded to 5.0 but nothing changed.

Everything worked in the beginning. Then I think it only worked on the loudspeaker and now it doesn't work at all (only with a headset).

Any ideas besides resetting the entire phone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uprightbass360:
Hey friendly xda people:) So I am in the beginning stages of a full on android addiction and decided I would start my first real project by attempting to re skin an existing app that is extremely well featured but lacking visually so I chose ... well I don't think I will say out of respect for the developer. But realistically I have many years experience using adobe products and am more than comfortable mucking around with pngs. So where I am at now is I have a good 80% of the assets re skinned and updated to a more kit kat like look and have verified that the dev has used no 9 pngs that I have accidentally edited, but this is where I am stuck. I have followed the walkthroughs to use apktool and signapk + zipallign to get the apk ready and have finished with the process. When I then go to load the apk on the phone I get the app to install, but then when it runs the app closes right after its splash screen. So I do understand that sight unseen it will be quite difficult to diagnose what problem I am having, but I'm learning and really would like some insight into some sort of trick/ tool or process that I could use to track down where my issue lies.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascio97:
From what I understood the app force closes because you edited the *.9.png, right? I suggest you to do exactly this process:

-Take a new APK of the app

-Rename to *.zip

-Open it with 7zip (DO NOT EXTRACT IT)

-Copy the new assets and res/layout pictures in the same folders of the 7zip opened APK

-Save it as a *.zip

-Rename it to *.apk

-Try to install and open it

Hope it helps
