Missing SMS messages and "download" link in message which does nothing

Hi. Has anyone experience any issues with missing SMS messages, especially with the MMS? About 10% of my messages are not coming in and it's worst when using MMS. I tried other SMS apps such as Textra, Google messenging, etc.., and it is acting the same where my messages will not come in at times. I did a fresh install of the 4.3.0 and have been this since it was released. Now with these missing messages and "download" links in my messages, it's getting really annoying . Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the latest firmware? 4.16+
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] adocorp:
Yes. I'm running 4.16.401.10..
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Ravenmtx:
You verified this through the bootloader and not through Settings > About?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jfalgout2003:
I installed 4.3 to try it out, but somehow it installed without a messages app. I'm almost certain I checked HTC Messages when going through installer. Can I just run installer again and select the app, or will that cause problems? I tried search for the .apk with no luck. Any help/advice appreciated.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rogcaw82:
Reinstalling the ROM will not cause problems. Read the header page in aroma. It says to check items you "don't" want to install.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jfalgout2003:
Thanks for confirmation. That's what I get for rushing through installation. I did start to realize after my post that multiple apps that I checked were not installed.

Okay... will do! Thank you sir!

Can anyone using this rom confirm for me what the maximum MMS size choices are? On the stock AT&T rom i'm getting 300k 600k and 1000k. On other roms I noticed they are only 100k 200k and 300k. I just want to make sure I can still send higher quality picture messages on this rom.

Hey Turge/Viper Team,

Is Viper-Rom using Full GPU rendering for everything? Meaning no software CPU rendering. I am using your ROM now and love the look and feel with customization. Thank you for all the hard work you put in these ROMs. Been following you since HTC OneX. :)

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Ravenmtx:
According to AT&T, the max MMS size is 600k. Anything higher gets compressed. http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=53119&cv=820#fbid=mk1v4HXvV0v

I couldn't be happier with this ROM (or phone)!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dondula:
That's weird because on the M7 and M8 i'm able to send up to 1000k and whatever the messaging app says it compressed to always sends at that file size. So I sent a 957k picture and the person receives it at 957k. I'm just glad to see this rom has the option for higher MMS file sizes.

I tried installing this ROM today with Philz cwm, the installiation went good but when after the reboot it said com.android.systemui wasn't working and it just kept poping up. I tried installing it multiple times, doing system wipes each time, even tried redownloading the ROM. The checksum and installation was fine. Any ideas?

I just did the OTA from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 and lost my "swipe to wake" and "double tap to wake".... It will vibrate, but the screen doesn't turn on, any suggestions? I've rebooted, wiped the cashe and Delvik, fixed permissions and still not waking up the phone?

[EDIT] Trying a clean install... May be tomorrow before I can let you know if it works, gotta get up in 5 hours for work.

[EDIT_2] Did a clean install, let it sit over-night to see if it settled and helped any.... The swipe to wake still does not work (did work in 1.1.0 & 1.2.0), it works the very first time (gives little notification you just used swipe to wake), then after that it just vibrates but does not wake the screen. Double tap to wake ONLY works when you pick up the phone, it won't work while sitting on my desk (did work in 1.1.0 & 1.2.0).

Is there a sensitivity setting somewhere that I'm missing?

[EDIT_3] So.... I just found the "motion and gesture" settings in Venom Tweaks, and there are all the "Motion right", "Motion left", ect... actions I've been looking for. I still can't "double tap" to unlock the phone, but set it to turn the screen on, which is fine for what I need.

Hello. I'm having an issue that's keeping me away from my favorite ROM. For some reason, Titanium Backup won't restore my apps and data on this ROM. This is the only ROM this happens on. This happened on the first version of this ROM also. I select to restore my apps and it shows like it's restoring but does not move. Just hangs at 0%. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I get some help with this issue? Please? Please? Please? Thanks in advance
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] boogie2001:
Has anyone else noticed while using Google maps that the turn-by-turn directions doesn't speak the street names in the directions? For example, instead it says " in 800 feet turn right" and on the stock rom it would say "in 800 feet turn right on Maple Ave.." Anyone else experience this?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tele_jas:
Yes, I noticed this too.. But it's not just this ROM, it was like this on the stock ROM too (I believe so?). I also noticed that it said this version of navigation was a "beta" version? Maybe this will change in the near future.

want to use this rom for daily driver is there a way i can mod it to set dpi to 400? or will that cause issues
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] boogie2001:
Interesting... Well, I did have a chance to use Google maps for turn-by-turn on stock prior to flashing this ROM and it worked fine announcing street names and the like.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tele_jas:
I could be wrong then... I did flash the ROM the same day I got it, but I thought I used the navigation first, but may not have?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] adocorp:
Where does it say in the bootloader? The losing of my messages are getting worse.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Ravenmtx:
It's the OS Version line. Or look at the date in the bootloader. It's safe to assume that any date before 2014 means you need to update the firmware.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] adocorp:
The firmware does look old 3.x 2014 in the bootloader.. Everything is running so well besides the sms.. I'm guessing upgrading firmware means fresh install of the rom as well and starting over huh?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Ravenmtx:
Definitely upgrade the firmware. If you're s-off you could probably try a no-wipe firmware.

First, could not find download link to stable 4.5.0, only experimental 4.5.1.

It does work on some rooted stock android phones by unrooting using the SuperSU method.

When I installed this Rom I lost volte. When I turn the feature off I can get calls. When volte is on I cannot receive calls. I restored my nandroid backup but volte is still broke. Any ideas?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Kratos90:
Won't work even if you unroot on HTC devices so far, so no unrooting won't get it to work, fully returning to stock will

You have two options, one is to call AT&T and have them turn off VoLTE for your phone line until they release the official next update then the ROM you install by selecting AT&T will have the base and you can tell them to re-activate it. Or you can go S-Off and install WWE/international firmware, 4.16.401.10 is the latest at the moment and you will have no problems with receiving calls.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NexusS4gFreak:
Can we flash this with s-on
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Kratos90:
Once you have the latest compatible firmware yes, if you flash 4.6.0 choose "default" instead of AT&T and you will need to have them turn off VoLTE for your line, if you flash 4.3.0 you can install as AT&T and won't need to deactivate AT&T voLTE.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NexusS4gFreak:
I just rooted and I'm still fully stock 5.0.2, with the stagefright patch update. And I use straight talk with an att sim card, so I wouldn't be able to call att
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] adocorp:
I also left Viper because of the voLTE problem I also had issues with SMS using 4.3. I REALLY want to come back to this rom but avoid the SMS and voLTE issues.

If I use firmware 4.16.401.10 and run Viper 5.0, I should have no problems with SMS and the voLTE issue?

Where do I get firmware 4.16.401.10?

I also hear now that Android Pay does not work with this rom?

I am on stock rooted and everything seems to work fine (sms, voice, android pay) but it's very boring..
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NexusS4gFreak:
flash this s-on with 4.28.502.2 android 5.0.2?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Kratos90:
So your choices are simple: Install 4.6.0 see if you have sound in calls, if you do all is fine, if not check with Straight Talk if they can turn off your VoLTE, if they can you'll be fine, if they can't simply full wipe and install 4.3.0

Never had an SMS issue, don't know why you had one, haven't heard of any SMS issues either other than hangouts ignoring people on occasion but if you use stock app or another alternative that wouldn't happen. Well there is no Viper 5.0 but if you mean android version 5.0.x on ViperOneM8 4.6.0 then yes you will have no issues.

If you are S-Off you can get 4.16.401.10 here.....if you are S-On then you will have to call AT&T and deactivate VoLTE for your line if you want to use 4.6.0, or you can just keep your current firmware and use 4.3.0.

Android Pay not working is not a ROM issue, it's a root issue, its's designed not to work with rooted devices so you will have to use google wallet until when/if a workaround is found that allows it to work on rooted devices which seems unlikely at the moment.

So if you need Android Pay then the ROM is a no go, if you can do without it then feel free to install and enjoy.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NexusS4gFreak:
OKayy and this will install even with the latest firmware from att 4.58.502.2 s-on? Sorry if I'm being repetitive but this s-on/s-off thing is slick confusing me as to what all I can do while s-on. Would prefer s-off so I can sim unlock but there isn't an s-off available anymore.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] adocorp:
Thanks Kratos. Let me try 4.16.401.10 and Viper 4.6.

Regarding Android Pay, It is working for me on stock (latest at&t update) rooted. I had to disable the enable superuser in SuperSU to configure the app. Once done, I re-enabled it. I used it this morning at McDonalds :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Kratos90:
I don't know where you got 4.58 fimware lol but you should share it, since you're the only one who has it :) (I know you meant 4.28.502.2 just messing with you lol). And you can certainly S-Off, just costs you $25, Sunshine works on all M8's as far as I know and it only charges if it will work, otherwise it will tell you it won't work and you won't be charged. As for installing yes, install 4.6.0 and select default, try making a call if you have no sound then you will need to try as I said to get VoLTE turned off if possible on your line on you can install 4.3.0 and select AT&T.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Kratos90:
AT&T was very late with lollipop so I guess Sneakyghost may have been busy at the time/just didn't get a chance to do it. The version I referred to is the latest lollipop for AT&T that includes stagefright patch as you can see in this RUU http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/. However, the patch is already included in the ROM so you can use, 4.28.502.1 was the release before the one with the stagefright patch and was released in April I believe you can look for that firmware around XDA, or just run the RUU I linked.

thanks for the info. Seems theres some incompatibility. Not sure if it has sth. to do with the HD Voice on AT&T [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION]?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Sneakyghost:
Yah it'll most likely be the HD voice feature being enabled and set network side and also in the firmware, but it's not available in the ROM, because that's based on 401/international which doesn't support HD voice.

Can't remember how to make it work with AT&T firmware. There used to be a way though.

But using international firmware is perfectly fine, you'll just have to do without HD voice. Our testers for AT&T are all using international firmware.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] freakshow999:
I experienced the the AT&T problem also. Weird thing was it was really intermittent. about 80% of calls were going straight to VM. It didn't matter who was calling or what service they were on. I was testing it with my friend and every once in awhile his call would make it through.

Went back to a stock-rooted for now. I've had a crap storm of weirdness going on with my phone the past couple of weeks. I think I nailed it down to a bad microSD card. I was running whatever updates I could think of which, of course, including the firmware....

Hopefully you guys can figure out something for us AT&T-er's soon? I am a donator :D
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Kratos90:
You have two options, one is to call AT&T and have them turn off VoLTE/HD voice for your phone line until they release the official next update then the ROM you install by selecting AT&T will have the base and you can tell them to re-activate it.

Hello all, I seem to be having problems with my M8 with this rom.

I just got into rooting it last week, so I unlocked bootloader, installed the latest TWRP recovery and installed SuperSU. I didn't S-Off yet.

So when I flash this rom, all works well. Phone runs great, but then I noticed the next day is when the issues started. I haven't been receiving calls like mentioned above, which I figured I'd look into updating the Firmware. Along with this, when I charge the phone, the screen seems to just come on and off on its own. It also does this sometimes when it's not plugged in, just randomly on its own. The back button seems to be also sticking when I'm composing a message whether it be in the stock messaging app or Facebook. I'll type a few characters and then it'll act like I press the back button.

Unfortunately, it seems that I can't S-Off with Sunshine on this rom either, something about it not being a debuggable rom or something like that. I've opened up a ticket about all of this on the Venom Hub, but figured someone might know what I need to do to get this running smoothly. I may be missing some fundamental thing to rooting this bad boy. The phone previously had the latest AT&T software on it, 5.0.2 I believe.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] j to the 4n:
Flash that in recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g1egybl8vdx4fcy/Change_to_NonDebuggable_Kernel_v2.2.zip?dl=0

..and try again. If it doesnt work, flash maximusHD and S-OFF there.

The issue is related to AT&T HD voice. Either turn it off...or flashing the international firmware would fix that,

i need solution after flash ( ViperOneM8 4.6.1 ) on my Att device phone stuck on htc logo i need help how solve that
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Kratos90:
How long has it been "stuck". First clean boot can normally take 15-25 minutes or so. Did you check the md5 of the download to make sure it matched with the md5 on the website, do you have latest recovery, do you have updated firmware, did you full wipe? Provide some more information on how you encountered this problem.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nawarkk:
Awesome, that worked great. I was able to S-Off with Sunshine after flashing that.

Changed my CID to 11111111 via fastboot commands and was able to flash the international firmware 4.16.401.10. Had the person who was having issues calling me give it a try and the call came through! Thanks so much for your reply, you guys are awesome.

Now I can start with customizing :cool:

Edit:

Side note, I found out what was causing the screen to come on and off regardless of being plugged in or not. It turned out to be Car Mode. I didn't have this issue prior to rooting, so I did a bit of reading online and went ahead and disabled the app. Weird that this issue came about from rooting. It's not this rom's fault as I had the same issue when I tested with flashing the SkyDragon rom.

Hopefully me disabling it keeps it away. I wonder what changed between rooted and non-rooted format to create such an annoying bug. Has anyone else run into this issue and have you done anything different than just disabling it? I'd like to know all solutions in case it comes back lol

Haven't ran into the back button sticking issue.. yet. Hopefully I don't. I'll report back after I get some time with this rom :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Barb3r:
How do you check your firmware version? Is it necessary to update if I do not plan on doing S-off?
