Figure I would make a thread so we can all share features that people may not know or advice.

I'll start off.... If you hold down one of the volume keys while the screen is off it will play music automatically. Awesome!
[One (M8) General] reubenskelly1992:
I can't get it to do this-(
[One (M8) General] AndroidInsanity:
Works fine with mine. You on a sense based ROM?
[One (M8) General] Nippero:
My T-Mo HTC One doesnt do that either o_O

although there are a few other Motion Launch gestures listed in Settings > Display and Gestures > Motion Launch gestures.

I really like the camera launching one. Hold phone in landscape and press the volume key, camera opens right up.
[One (M8) General] AndroidInsanity:
I am clueless then lol. Strange
[One (M8) General] Maedhros:
Doesn't work for me.

Not on my stock rom and not on viper.

It must be part of your custom rom.
[One (M8) General] reubenskelly1992:
Yeah I haven't rooted yet. Just plain sense
[One (M8) General] AndroidInsanity:
One feature that didn't really get much attention is video recording at 60fps. Not even gsmarena covered it.
[One (M8) General] mkhopper:
Did you happen to have a music player open in the background or something on pause?

As far as I've ever seen in any Android device, holding down a particular volume button has always been used to go forward to a new track or backwards to a previous track.
[One (M8) General] AndroidInsanity:
It wasn't on my recent apps but I did pause it before ending it. I just held down the volume key and music player started playing. On insertcoin with elemental kernel. Probably a feature from the kernel or ROM. My bad.
[One (M8) General] AndroidInsanity:
Nope. You need to press the call button afterwards ;) troll fail.
[One (M8) General] bkeaver:
If you swipe up on the screen with 3 fingers it will ask you to choose a device to connect to.

For me double tap works on my GPE ROM(not gpe edition) could be the kernel but I am pretty sure this ROM is stock everything I had to flash SuperSU in recovery
[One (M8) General] Cryosx:
The volume button thing is a mod you get with insert coin.

just tried it now as long you have set a speed dial to the number you press it just calls it.

volume down didn't do anything but volume up from the lock screen turns on the torch

Allows you to connect to a DLNA device on your wifi network. Smart TV or PC (I use smartshare by LG on my PC as i have an LG TV)
[One (M8) General] mattman5000:
I've had the phone for a week. Just recently found out that it has a built-in pedometer. You have to get the Fitbit app to access the feature. Then it can count your steps throughout the day. I've been using it a couple of days. Doesn't seem to have much effect on battery life.
[One (M8) General] acPIZZA:
I BELIEVE the phone already records the pedometer data on its own similar to apples chip on the 5s. Installing the fitbit app just let's you view the data, however, the fitbit apps seems to wake the phone quite a bit and consequently is most likely wasting more battery. If you are rooted and use greenify, you can greenify fitbit and still see your progress wheb you launch the app rather than having the app wake your phone in the background.
[One (M8) General] whmcal:
Good find. It also works if you swipe to the right using 3 fingers!
[One (M8) General] omar302:
To access new notifications directly on your lock screen (shown below the clock), swipe down on the clock then tap on the notification. At least this works when there is no pin or pattern lock.

If you ever need to get into bootloader while in quickboot mode ....press both vol keys and power button ...it will switch off ...reboot ....switch off reboot then power off
[One (M8) General] StuMcBill:
That's handy to know!

Thanks!

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[One (M8) General] acPIZZA:
It still works with less wake locks. The only thing is the notifications ("hooray you walked XXXX amount of steps today!!!!") are delayed until you open the app but it's not a big deal.

It's not like we're walking around until we get that fit bit notification that we can stop ;)
[One (M8) General] altimax98:
You can always create a tasker profile to run the app every so often then let Greenify close it down.. You will get those notifications that way
[One (M8) General] mattman5000:
You are correct. It does use a lot of wakelocks. Last night I checked with Wakelock Detector. It was at the top of the list with over 10 minutes of wakelocks. That is a good idea to keep it under control with Greenify. I have no need for the notifications.

Or better yet, anyone know how to directly access the pedometer sensor data? Sounds like a good idea for a simple app to check it on demand.
[One (M8) General] craig0r:
If you tap and hold the viewfinder in the camera app, it will lock focus and exposure.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:

[One (M8) General] boe323:
I was cleaning my screen when suddenly a big round button with a mic on it appeared in the centre of the screen ...it wasn't google now ...it had call and say name underneath the button ....ive been all through the phone and cant find it at all and I cant reproduce it either ....very odd indeed.
[One (M8) General] bkeaver:
thats one of the motion gestures with the screen off.. if you swipe down it will do that...
[One (M8) General] AshThornton:
This happens when you swipe down from the top when the screen is off. Swiping from each direction does a different thing, try it out :)
[One (M8) General] robbyrobaz:
When the phone is locked and screen off you can swipe up for unlock (my favorite). If you swipe down it launches the HTC call somebody by voice (you might have done that). Right launches HTC feed. Left also unlocks.

This unlock is better than the double tap as it fully unlocks the phone. Double tap requires another swipe.

ignore that response. I just re-read your post. Your talking about a different gesture (voice search) so anyway. Hold down the home key with screen on and you get a google search shortcut. It will open your default web browser and send it to Google Home

[One (M8) General] captainreynolds:
I've been playing around with the One M8's MHL HDMI out capabilities on several TVs:

It seems to normally want to output at 30hz on most if not all HDTVs. Not sure why, but this essentially really slows down the OS and it only runs at most 30fps, with noticeable lag in display and with any touch inputs. However, I plugged it into one of my computer monitors last night and it ran at full speed (I assume 60hz, not sure). It may be that my monitor simply does not provide the option for 30hz, but I don't think that is it as it is 30hz capable.

Does anyone know how I can force the HTC One M8 to output at full speed (60 Hz) on all HDTVs?

Like I mentioned in another thread I found out if you go into the default xml file you can set the max camera burst shots which is default at 99. I set mine to 999 and it works.

Yep, also no need to hold, you can just swipe up from the navigation bar for quick access.

The 3 finger gesture for DLNA was also in the M7.

Needs to be two threads really. One for stock and one for custom ROMS.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
yes stock rom ....it works everytime ...sometimes it will go straight to bootloader ...but more times out of 10 it will power off ...then can go to bootloader with vol down and power. Seems that you have to power down now before you can get in bootloader, used to just hold vol down and power ...don't work anymore ....well on mine it doesn't lol. Holding both vol up and down with power button ....gives you 2 reboots and a power off for me
[One (M8) General] decksy:
i just found this out today and didnt see it in here.... but you can answer your phone simply by putting it to your ear.. you might want to have 'Quiet ring on pickup' on so that it lowers the ring volume
[One (M8) General] demirlijanp:
Can somebody please explain me this,I mean pretty olease :) when my phone is in pocket,it rings only on one (bottom) speaker,and when my phone is on the table,on its back,it rings on both of the speakers. How do I turn this off? I ntr sound setting there is this Flip to mute - always mute or mute once,there is no option to turn off completely this stupid mod. Tried also on my friends m8 (everything stock,not even rooted) and the same stupid thing hapens. If anyone knows what I'm speaking,and knows the solution,please,advise me,I would be very grateful to you. Cheers.

Don't know if it has been mentioned but if you lock your device after using the camera and then press the unlock button the camera is active straight away. I also like the way the swipe gestures do not work unless your phone is in your hand.

[One (M8) General] Wilsonium:
The phone is sensing something near it's top speaker and rather than potentially blasting into someones ear it mutes that speaker. So, in your pants, just one speaker. On the desk, loud and proud.
[One (M8) General] demirlijanp:
And this can not be turned on/off. I understand that it is the proximity sensor but who in the world keeps their phone to the ear unless they are talking with somebody on the phone, and in that time obviously the phone cannot make loud sounds. When it is on the table it ring louder,and when it is in the pocket it rings quiet, it doesn't make sense to me.
[One (M8) General] AmberBoy:
Hej guys, is it possible to watch a movie in the small window? any feature like small apps in Xperia's?
[One (M8) General] Snapperjacker:
Do you have the "quite ringtone on pickup" enabled? Maybe rather than sensing it's in your pocket it's sensing the movement (from walking or moving your leg for example) and then immediately quieting the ring. Maybe I'm way off the mark but just a thought I had.
[One (M8) General] demirlijanp:
I also tried that but no luck :) i mean,when it is in pocket,it should rang louder? That is simple. You have the m8,please try it for yourself. It is ridiculous. It have sonething to with settings,sound,flip to mute,and there is mute once and always mute,there is no option to turn flip to mute completely off. And when it is in my pocket,proximity sensor is blocket,and thats why it rings lower only on one (bottom) speaker. Tried on my friends m8,and it is the same. Really stupid.

Phone in pocket,two amazing front facing speakers, it should ring louder = profit. But it doesnt :)
[One (M8) General] urra:
You can use Diceplayer for the video-in-a-small-window-part at least.

Maybe it is "Auto answer call function" (settings->call)

so that it won't blown your ear when you directly pick up for answer.

On my Samsung notification bar there is another notification bar overlapping the new one when I´m viewing it from the lock screen.

Hi.

My sony xperia tx was hard bricked recently, it happens out of sudden when i was watching a movie on the phone with wall charger connected. At first it went into boot loop and i tried to hard reset it but it didnt work. So leave it connected to the charger. After two hours, there is no led indicator even it was connected to the charger and it didnt respond to hard reset, no vibration at all. Pc companion and flashtool cant detect my device. The only thing i found is my device flash red led for about a minute and it went off and keep repeating again and again and this happened after my device connected to the charger for more than 24 hours..please someone help me how to fix my xperia.

OK....I have this problem I can't seem to figure out. I have the media hub. I have tried to connect internet 'through' then hub. It will NOT connect to my home WiFi, using my asus tf300t and nexus 7 2013. The hub will reboot (I have tried everything and followed directions to a T) It will not connect. The 3rd light doesnt come on (no internet).

I've tried it also with my note 2....to connect WiFi......it won't do it.

Here's the kicker......I turn on my hotspot via my note 2 and do the directions again to the T.....and I have internet connect into my hotspot!!!!!!! ( tried on both tablets).....WHAT GIVES..... I am completely not knowing why....

(I have not tried a different WiFi source yet) like my work or some other WiFi.....could it be that I simply can't with my home WiFi?

This is very disheartening.

Video recording in indoor/artificial lighting causes video tobe recorded @15 fps and makes video blurry .. How to fix this ?? Ive tried with other mobiles and they record at 30fps in the same conditions
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodOfPsychos:
you are not alone. i am wondering why the low light fps is so low, too. even my old xperia arc s (which has singlecore and adreno 205 gpu) was capable of recording 720p videos at 30 fps in low light scenes.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roph:
Uh, are you sure you don't have the slow-motion video option turned on? My G records in 30fps still, even in low-light.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodOfPsychos:
no no no xD. i would recocnize if i had slow motion in my videos , because the video playback would be 15 fps (but recorded with 60 of course).

And i also don't have stock moto Firmware installed. i flashed Google Play Edition Rom long time ago (which doesn't even have the slow motion feature).

The Google Play Edition isn't even the problem for the cameras bad low light performance (i also had the stock motorola firmware with the motorola camera app before i flashed the GPE Rom)

maybe you and me could post video samples to compare the fps in bright light scenes and low-light scenes

Edit: i already found a video sample that perfectly explains what i mean. immediately in the first moment you can see the low light performance. and when he moves the camera to the window (where it gets bright) you can see that the fps rapidly go up to 30fps. and when he moves the camera away again to the indoor low light, it gets laggy and goes down to 15-18 fps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWf8UBSC2tU
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roph:
This is a normal way for the camera to behave. In darker light, the exposure must be increased. I.e. the camera takes longer in order to capture more light. In higher end devices this isn't a problem since they capture enough light anyway (or have an "internal" FPS that is higher), but with the G, moto has to cut corners to achieve the price point.

If framerate is critical to you, use a camera app that allows manual exposure control and keep it low. You'll be in for a very dark video though.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodOfPsychos:
read my second post. my old arc s increased the exposure in a really nice and clean way and it was even smoother in low-light scenes, while increasing the exposure to a really high level
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roph:
And read my post again. The Arc S was not a bargain bottom device. You only need to meet a baseline level of camera performance to get the right exposure for a given framerate. With a higher quality camera sensor, you can push the exposure still higher when needed (dark environment) and still stay above this baseline.

The Moto G uses a cheap, low performance sensor. Recording just in regular light is already just about using the sensor to its limits. Low-light goes below the baseline, and so the FPS drops. There's no way around it. The SOC in the Moto G is easily capable of recording/encoding 1080p, but the camera module isn't up to the task, for the same reason.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodOfPsychos:
It's not the sensor. Its the firmwares fault. With the normal motorola camera app, you are able to record videos at 60 fps. while recording the slow motion videos, the framerate drops by 15-20 fps when you record some low light scenes, which does mean the sensor has still 40-45 fps available for recording the video. The software needs just some tweaks here and there for a big improvement in fps, noise reduction, color reproduction etc

Jishnu Snur's modified motorola camera app already does have better color reproduction compared to the stock one.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andro 2.1:
low fps

Even xperia m had this issue but they fixed that with a firmware update.but Motorola doesn't even know about this issue.idk if everyone is having this issue.btw being a bargain device doesn't mean to ignore all its shortcomings

Hi all...

Im having problem with Link2sd after resizing the second partition.

What I had done:

Before resizing the partition I copied all the files from ext partition to my desktop

I resized the partition to a smaller one, from 4.5 gb to 3.5.

The total filesize in this partition was under 2 gig.

Using minipartition tool I deleted the ext partition.

Resized my existing fat partition to 4 gb and created ext partition with rest of the space

Ext partition was created as primary.

Now I copied back all the files from desktop to sd card.

But everytime I start with my sdcard, Samsung logo keeps showing after boit sound.

I waited for 5 minutes but nothing happnd.

I started without sdcard. And tried recreating mount script.But the same problem.

How to overcome this problem. Do I need to start from the beginning? ?
