What carrier are you on? What is your CID/MID?

It's normal. Mine does the same thing. Calls don't use the LTE network, so when you make a call it switches your service over to the 3G/4G network. Someone with more knowledge could probably explain it much better than me, but that's the basic explanation.

Quick question, I had to use sunshine to s-off my phone as firewater didnt work. I then installed the nonroot GPe. Am I still S-off or has it been restored? I can use sunshine more than once right?
[One (M8) Android Development] gagdude:
Wrong place to ask but you are still s-off and you will be forever until you s-on manually. Flashing an RUU is the reason people s-off, it would make no sense if you became s-on by doing so.
[One (M8) Android Development] @rbiter:
I was looking in build.prop or default.XML, i forget which, one night sleepy as hell and I noticed fluence and fluence pro. I haven't had time to dig in deeper. This was sense by the way. When I did google conversion I had minor issues but was probably going to stay and then I made phone call. Phone call on gpe immediately sounded lesser quality and I was fixing to ask my sister about the noise cancellation when she piped in and asked why the hell are those kids so loud. They were about 30 feet away. That was the knife in the heart for me. Poorer call quality and no noise cancellation. On sense. I tested it with my sister by an outside a/c unit right up on it she could hear. 3 ft away and she was amazed she couldn't hear it. Now I would have to venture that sense uses fluence pro and gpe regular fluence. Fluence doesn't have a good rep for for noise cancellation. I did not know about pro until came across that tidbit mentioned earlier. Like I said I forgot which of those but there are some changes and up/down grades to be had if you understand. And with this knowledge there might be a slight chance the pro can be enabled on gpe if the drivers are available and there is an option for true/false or editing something. I made a thread and asking if fluence was used or if HTC got custom and used audience noise cancellation which is very very good stuff. I accidentally found my answer. Hopefully somebody reads this and puts two and two together before I can dig deeper and figure how to upgrade call quality on gpe. There are other options like wideband amr and other stuff I forget the exact name of. And I believe Verizon version with sense has something you can edit to enable voLTE but I still haven't got back to thread to see if it worked. I believed the guys that did it weren't in voLTE markets.

sound in the gpe is spectacular as the rom stock with sense, I have not noticed anything unusual or noises strangers, will luxury this rom, look to see if the problem of your phone and take it to sat to settle it, but there is no problem with the rom gpe in this regard, greetings.

Is there any way to change the LTE logo to 4G? LTE isnt really used in the uk.
[One (M8) Android Development] esuohe:
To add, the FM Tuner app, however, does not work on the GPe.

Yea. I did it immediately after. I actually tried to run it four times with no luck.
[One (M8) Android Development] jay661972:
Let me guess, it shows failed but the htc green line still going through, happened to me twice. Let it finish and once the green line goes all the way, just type fastboot reboot and all done. Not sure why it shows failed on my end also but keeps updating. As long it finish converting, im all good.

It seems the android-info text file you may have edited is in invalid format .. this will happen if you edit using standard windows apps like notepad, etc ... you need to edit using another like Notepad++ which retains newline characters for unix based systems
[One (M8) Android Development] Travisimo:
I am getting a replacement One M8 via HTC for a camera lens issue. So right now on my current phone I am bootloader unlocked with s-off and flashed the rooted GPE RUU - so I am fully converted to GPE and have been enjoying it for several weeks. When I get the new phone, I want to get back to my setup as quickly and easily as possible, so I thought perhaps a backup Nandroid would do the trick? When I get the new phone, I will unlock the bootloader, flash twrp, root and install the GPE RUU again. At that point, can I go into twrp and use my Nandroid backup from my old phone?

Also, what is the command for temporarily booting into TWRP to do a backup without actually having to install it? I am using stock recovery on my current M8 (since this is the default after flashing the GPE RUU) and just want to temporarily go into twrp to do the backup. Do I do that from ADB or FASTBOOT, and what is the command?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] Travisimo:
I got my replacement phone today from HTC, and instead of doing a conversion to GPE, I decided to give a GPE rom a try instead (SkyDragon GPE). At this point, I do not think I will fully convert to GPE again, except maybe when Android L drops later this year. The GPE rom is running identically to my previous GPE conversion, making OTA updates the only reason to do a full conversion, it appears. Xposed and Gravity Box are working flawlessly, and the phone feels identical in smoothness and responsiveness. The other advantages are that I can now flash updates to the rom and even switch between roms without having to worry about the partition differences.

Of course, I might be singing a different tune once Android L drops and the official GPE gets updated right away. I suspect it'll be some time before Google releases the source and roms start appearing, so I *may* go ahead and do the full conversion at that point...
[One (M8) Android Development] RevTheory:
One thing which has confused me. GPE should be bale to use the duo camera and use HTC photo edit to re-focus yet. i can't get HTC photo edit to open or anything yet the app is installed

any ideas?
[One (M8) Android Development] esuohe:
I had a related problem where Ufocus would hang on the processing page. I uninstalled the Camera updates, then reinstalled (basically, reverted to stock GPe camera app). It's been responsive and working as expected ever since.
[One (M8) Android Development] RevTheory:
I've only got the stock GPe cam app. And never got ufocus to work
[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
You're fine to do this go ahead. I've done it.
[One (M8) Android Development] blunden:
You need to perform the conversion using the RUU to get the new bootloader etc. and change CID to properly get OTA updates. Without the conversion the partition sizes will differ and the nandroid won't apply.
[One (M8) Android Development] avramo_1978:
I am stock on my M8.

I know thay I must follow these steps.

S-off - change Cid&mid to GOOGLE01and then install the RUU.

Can you help me with the 2 first steps? A guide will be useful.

I just tested the rooted RUU link. Primary download site took six minutes to download???

Seriously, you think thats slow?

[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
Only because I'm a glutton for punishment I tried the unrooted version and it took 5 minutes. I am on 152mb DL with Virginmedia UK.

However the Androidfilehost site did give the following message on the non rooted DL

"SYSTEM NOTICE: There is a bug with the the new version of Firefox (v31) that creates issues uploading. Devs please use Chrome until we can find a fix for this new version. Also apologize for any slowness we are down a few servers due to upgrades. Thanks"

Hello,

I would like to convert my stock M8 to GPE. It's a GSM variant.

I know that my CID is HTC_304. If I unlock the boot loader and s-off The CID will be then SUPERCID. I will be able to use OTA on a GPE version with SUPERCID ?

Hey guys ,, i've checked videos about the M8 google edition ,, and there was a gesture to unlock the phone ,, wanted to check if that option is available in this ROM also ???

Nothing lol ....I just wondering why tech specs have from radio on GPE, but its not actually there.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

Make sure the mid and cid matches google, theres a thread somewhere that tells you how to do it. Not much need for supercid on gpe
[One (M8) Android Development] sageandonion:
I used goog001 just to be sure.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

I think it doesn't matter about the mid. Only the Cid.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
FM Radio? Just install an app for it, like Spirit FM or Spirit2.
[One (M8) Android Development] esuohe:
Double tap or swipe to wake on GPe is limited to waking up the device (mimics a power button press). Unlike Sense 6 where different gestures can do different things.

How can I stop that gapps process crash at login? possibly started after xposed was installed.

Uninstall xposed and see if it still happens.

If so- best place to put this question would be the xposed thread or module thread that is causing you issues.

If not- then the question belongs here.
[One (M8) Android Development] avramo_1978:
I think that I must follow the following procedure. Unlock boot loader from HTCDEV then s-off. And then how I change the CID and the mid? Is there any guide? After this I install the Ruu correct?

Put the nand backup of the stock rom on your sdcard, preferably start with 154.401.5 because boot image is missing from one of the firmware packages.

1: get the firmware for 154.401.5. 2: change your cid to HTC__001 or 11111111. 3: Flash the firmware. 4: Enter bootloader and factory reset from bootloader. 5: Enter stock recovery and factory reset again to safe. 6: Install custom recovery. 7: completely wipe the entire phone, format and reboot back to recovery. 8:Install nand backup. 9: Reflash stock firmware and factory reset. DONE !! To flash firmware .....fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash zip whatever.zip, fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash zip whatever.zip again even if it doesn't ask you, when you are done with factory resetting using stock recovery, just enter fastboot reboot-bootloader or reboot from recovery, and then ....fastboot flash recovery whatever.img, fastboot reboot-bootloader, enter recovery ...and flash nand

I like sense features but I hate the white and hate the launcher, if it htc left it aosp colour with the same launcher but have blink feed there with the option to swap between googlenow, it would be awesome. I use googlenow launcher on sense so I thought sod it, might aswell go GPE and get some space back.
[One (M8) Android Development] mickrick:
Cheers for that. I read that the partitions are different on GPE and branded roms leading to system crashes etc. Does this method negate those problems?
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Difference in System Image CRCs

I completed the conversion without a single issue. Thanks!

A friend of mine has a real "Google Play edition" and while comparing the two devices, I noticed that the CRCs for the System Image are different. All other CRCs matched. Can you think of any reason why it would differ since the non-rooted RUU is supposedly 100% Stock?

System Image CRC 0x39003ACE (Google Play edition)

System Image CRC 0xEEE3CA44 (RUU Conversion)

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

yes, the partitions get formatted back to htc sense, I have already done this, but you must go back to 154.401.5 imho and ota your phone, so you know its working 100%, thers also the matter of the boot logo missing in one of the later firmware packages, cant remember which, but I ended up with the google logo still on my phone lol ...until I went back to 154.401.5.

[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
What frequencies do you use there? 800 and 2600 MHz?

And the big question, what happens when there's an OTA? Will you get a US radio image or wont you be able to update through OTA?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
It depends.... If it's a full radio image then it should just replace the radio... If it's a patched radio file it may fail. I would go ask in my M7 thread.. Since that conversion has been around for a while and people from all over have used it. I don't think I've ever read anyone having issues.

It's really tough to say what will happen when an OTA comes until one comes. At first on the m7 we didn't even know if we would truly get ota's until one came. Your model id and cid might have something to do with getting ota's as well. That wasn't the case with the m7 but things are different on the m8.. So until and OTA drops all anyone can do is speculate.

Just a follow-up, battery is full and still can't use the flash with camera...

It's grayed out with a line through it.
[One (M8) Android Development] ekinnee:
My conversion went smoothly and all works. Not sure about the flash being greyed out. Maybe a fix permissions?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
This might be a dumb question but did you turn off the flash maybe by accident? The line through it usually means its off..
[One (M8) Android Development] hedsick:
Hah no, the flash wasn't turned off. As I said, it's grayed out as well as the line through it - so I can't even toggle it. See attached.

As I stated though, it works in a flashlight app (HoloTorch).
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Dude.. you're in HDR mode.. I don't think the flash works in HDR mode... I changed it to HDR mode and my flash was disabled.. Switched it to normal and it worked..

This is what I found:

"Puts the camera in HDR mode, which captures greater detail in bright or dark areas of a photo. In HDR mode, Camera disables the flash and white balance options."

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2838995?hl=en

Now that's for a nexus.. but considering it's the same camera software (just modified for the dual camera and depth info) I would assume the same holds true for a GPE device
[One (M8) Android Development] gfreek:
Switch off HDR then you can use flash. For some reason when HDR is ON, the flash is disabled and greyed out. Not sure if its a feature or GPE bug? I can't remember if it was the same when I had stock sense camera?
[One (M8) Android Development] hedsick:
Derp a derp. Yup. lol
[One (M8) Android Development] GSLEON3:
That is a Google thing. Part of their camera setup. It is that way on all GPe & Nexus devices recently released. HDR mode most certainly DOES work with the flash on a stock Sense rom.

Hey Graffix.... Has the partition size issue been rectified, or is it going to require the release of an HTC Sense RUU?
