i was beating the note 3... now nothin :( makes me sad
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shojus:
It's not really about worrying... But something changed with the update to skew it that much? I can see it being off by 1000 but 2500 points? That's a pretty big dip when u talk about a benchmark app that's fairly accurate to your device. Like I said, I have not noticed any performance drops I was just curious.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
yea. agreed. and im getting worse battery life. a lot worse too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shojus:
I'm gonna give it a few days before I can judge anything but something def changed with that checkbox crap. Have not been on it that long to notice any other effects besides the one I pointed out. The M8 was delisted from several benchmark tests because it was caught "cheating" so this was the update to address that I assume.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
An executive publicly said the device goes into high performance mode when running a benchmark. Don't think anything about that changed

I'm getting 3k less too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
The update came out yesterday, how are people already judging battery life lol. It needs to "calibrate". Same benchmark scores for me after factory reset
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
but when i put the phone in high performance mode, i get different scores. either its higher, lower or the same by a few points...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I just ran this

Looks real good to Me. Plus I'm around 11 hours battery an got 68 % left
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Lol. I still am ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shojus:
I don't notice any battery drain like one guy posted but my score is def off a bit... I don't care though cause my **** is a beast! ;) I just wanted to make everyone panic. :p Oh, and that score is weak! 37341 was my last one. lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] animez:
I'm actually getting about 600 points more since the update.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ChrisNee1988:
If you use ART, benchmarks are much lower. Is that why some of you are getting lower scores?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
Stock everything. Before update I was getting 36k 37k. Still using delvik.

After restore.

First pic with out HPM

Second pic is with HPM on
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I wonder why. As mine is same pretty much as you see in my pic from after updating.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Benchmarks will always change if you run it consecutively. One test you may get 30,00 and another 35,000 If you are stock I wouldn't worry.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
Yea just really bothers me... Also HPM didn't do anything. After turning it on and looking at android tuner, cpu acts the same.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sgtmedeiros:
I really hate when people say these companies cheat in benchmarks. A benchmark is supposed to be max performance. That's like if I wanted to benchmark my processor when it's idle.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] myn:
Don't worry about benchmarks. Does it still feel as snappy as it was before? Apps loading just as fast? Games playing as well?

If so, that's all that maters :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] P2o8wer:

Not doing anything special. I'm s-off with perm root on stock. I've done some status bar and other misc tweaks with gravity box, but nothing that would effect benchmark scores.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shojus:
So what you are saying is that if you took your car to get a system check done and when u got it back it ran just as fast and felt the same but your dyno scores were showing less horsepower?? So you would not be curious as to why that is because as far as you can tell "it runs just fine" . I personally want to know why it is showing quite a bit different (and inconsistent now) and be given a legitimate reason by someone who knows the facts versus someone just telling me that it makes no difference as long as it feels just the same. My scores had been consistent but now they jump all over the place but you'd be ok with that not knowing what the cause was? It's a computer, if benchmarks fall then something caused it, regardless if it feels like it's running the same or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Every time I run mine it's always above 36+ which is high score on my graph which makes me happy lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
But if you were getting 3k to 4k less then you would not be... Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Lol this is also true.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nabbed:
You are a joke! :angel:

This is exactly why benchmarks are important. Otherwise, how would you even know that the new update didn't break something?

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Oh, not you! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

How would anyone even know that something was wrong with performance in the update if they didn't run a benchmark?

If the broken part was subtle in everyday use, but clearly seen in a benchmark, it's still broken. Saying don't worry about it is lazy and irresponsible. Sir.

Didn't the guy say that he was running a rom based on the pre-OTA stock?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
OKay here it is for those that are wondering why they are getting a lower benchmark after they perhaps partially upgraded..

Was getting almost 37000 more like 36500 before tinkering with the firmware.zip that I flashed in RUU mode

then after the tinkering which was seemingly incomplete. I was getting as low as 19000 at one point.. So I really didn't like that much running a custom ROM at that point.. But it was supposedly up to date said the device lol. but it wasn't completely up to date.

Knowing that there is no way I am having that low of antutu score I flashed back to an unrooted stock backup I made before tinkering..then only flashed the stockrecovery original one from the M8 forum I found... flashed that and then took the update now I am getting scores like 36980 36965 and 35095 much better than under 20000 =] so what I flashed was the firmware.zip part of the OTAPkg.zip it was a hundred percent stock what I flashed but it was an incomplete upgrade as there was much more than just the firmware parts. So after a complete upgrade my device let me know that I indeed was up to date in a way or two that had never shown before.. Just a message after my first manual reboot to let me know that all went right I guess. and noticeable pickup as well as far as zero lag gain it was starting to take a few more than 10 seconds t o open an app before I fixed it.

So no need to re-lock or s-on to receive the update just have a completely stock {the whole ROM, Bloat and All} and the stock recovery and your wifi connection to dl it proper and apply it...

So get back on track and take the full upgrade for a return to Performance and snap not to mention whatever fixes they made.

I used twrp for the nandroid, made by simonsickle then have since flashed the Official version found here

One can also not flash anything at all . Not fix something that isn't broken, so to speak.

The overwhelming consensus that a new OTA is better than the old one, which I see every day, is really disturbing to me.

Does everyone really think that OTAs are designed to only improve things, and are free of game breaking bugs?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] myn:
FWIW I can get my m8 over 40K with a few minor tweaks to SQLLite libs but the performance isn't "perceivable". Bench's well though :)

That's why I have always said, ignore benchmarks as they can be skewed easily and isn't a direct correlation with perceivable user experience.

Especially HTC who is known for boosting performance in benchmark apps.

http://www.cnet.com/news/is-the-htc-one-m8-that-good-benchmark-cheating-alleged-again/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
This is exactly why I said benchmarks are a joke...There are so many ways to "tweak" your system just to get higher benchmarks there is no real objective way to compare.

Anyone who thinks benchmarks are a true test of a devices perfromance, are really kidding themselves.

In the car racing world we call folks like this "benchtop racers" as they compare things like Engine power, weight etc and come up with a winner based purely on bench data. When they actually race, the conclusion that "benchtop racers" come to is usually nothing like what actually occurs.

I think we have quite a few benchmark benchtop racers here who only want to get the higest number possible then gloat and tell others they have issues if their benchmarks are not as high.

I was running viper Rom as well. I was getting around 16k on antutu and 12k on quadrant. I think it's due to the massive amount of tweaks and theming. Switch to another Rom I'm up to 35k on antutu and 24k on quadrant.

Sent from my GT-I9500
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breach1337:
Nope. At least not on my 4.4.2 (I9505XXUFNB8). It sees the satellites, but doesn't ever lock to them. It's a known issue on i9505 4.4.2.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrustkillx:
as far as i know it is power saving feature not bug. snapdragon will kick glonass when gps signal is too ****y.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlovenac:
Nope, it is a bug on i9505 - kitkat combination. It is not possible to lock any GLONASS satellites.

If anyone knows if there is a custom kitkat based ROM that is not affected, I would appreciate the answer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrustkillx:
Snapdragon processor automatically knows when to power on the GLONASS service, and when to leave it off. GLONASS will only engage when an adequate GPS signal can’t be found. This extends battery life while providing the best navigation experience possible.

copypaste from qualcomm site
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breach1337:
OK, thanks. This could be so, but on the other hand I distinctly remember seeing both GPS and GLONASS locking in 4.2.x or 4.3.x?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aycim:
I think this can't be true, not under kitkat. It is a bug.

When i was on old bootloader, and it was no problem to switch between 4.3 and 4.4 it was clearly to see: no glonass on kitkat, and instantly glonass-fix under jellybean.

Since I've got kitkat, i never had a glonass-fix, although i could see them.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breach1337:
FYI - fixed in NE5 firmware.

Did anyone found a solution for this ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] l3v5y:
I doubt it... Seems kinda pointless, having the ability to tell you who is calling, but then deliberately turning it of..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] texarcana:
yes, but when someone is calling, there is always a delay.

When you hear the first ring, the caller already heard it twice.

Maybe by disabling this, it would speed up the process a bit
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] l3v5y:
That's the network, not the device.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] texarcana:
It can't be the network, I never had this problem with my Nokia phones.

I personally think it's a flaw in the dialer application or in WinMobile itself.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] l3v5y:
Well... The cause may be that, but I doubt showing a caller ID screen will change the times....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] optionj:
I agree with texarcana here, the lights begin to flash on my phone when it rings a good few seconds before the screen get around to displaying the incoming call notification.

This is on WM 6.1, on my new HTC Diamond Touch.

I assume that notifications such as an incoming call or text message are either

A) A windows message sent to a background service awaiting it.

B) An application is executed with parameters describing the event

In either case, i believe it must be possible to redirect the notification in the registry. However, if the notification method is at fault (ie causing slow response, most likely to be true if B above is true.)

I'm going to investigate, I'll post an update of my results.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] romsfan:
Im really sorry to bump this really old thread but has anyone solved this??

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Dorianix:
To Diamond I found. cab which options are unblocking "flash light for." in SOUND & NOTIFICATION it didn't give but nothing. I dug around in the HKLM/Drivers/Builtln/Keylight and Keypad register and I turned off LED generally speaking but I blocked buttons
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hustlehard82:
first you'll need a registry editor, then edit the following key:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone

Duration=1

change the 1 to 0

im not sure if this is exactly the fix you were looking for. its intended for stopping he default caller id bubble from blocking fullscreen caller id apps like s2u2.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] DorkyDev:
Didn't work for my samsung i760, what about DispllayOrder? Set it to 0 too? Or what would that do exactly? I'm curious now, it's set to 1 so if all else fails, I could change it back to 1 again... I guess. I'd just like to know first before I go blindly jumping into something.. haha

Sidenote setting it to 0 did work I just had to reset my phone so remember to reset your phone after changing this, I see the curtain try to popup, or at least the frames but nothing after that... Although sometimes it does act buggy and I'll completely miss or be able to answer a call cause my phone will constantly viberate (No pickup on ringtone at all starting) then after the call is missed the viberating will stop but my phone will still be frozen... Thats when the screen is off though..

Okay after a few tests sometimes it does work and sometimes it doesn't work at all and the curtain will still show up... Then again screen off sometimes the phone wont ring at all, I'm setting it back to 1... LoL

I just wish there was a way or a more advanced notification manager, it should be just like being able to disable incoming text messages and disabling sent message notifications..

____

I'd love a fix for this too, as I already have a picture caller id with PocketX Photo Contacts Pro...

But it's annoying as all get out!! To put it politely, I slide to answer then I've got to press the left softkey too! In order to answer a call, if I could just disable the built in windows mobile caller id curtain then it'd be a heck of a lot easier...

Please let's get a scripter on this to start working their way around and tweaking it to be able to be disabled..

Thanks!!

________

As for ring delay which is also a few other posters concern of the phone taking it's own sweet time to decide when to start ringing... This is what I used for my i760, I'm sure someone here could turn this into use for any phone make and model:

I've got mine set to 0 though, but then again, I don't get very many calls, plus I have my phone charging a lot. Also I always carry around a spare extended fully charged battery in my holster... Usually my battery lasts a whole day... But with it set to 0 my phone picks up and rings at the end of the first ring on the callers end.

Starting from fresh stock 2.3.6. gingerbread ROM (with no network problems), I installed Touchwiz_Res_V10 from link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358404

Although every aspect of this ROM works fine there is one problem- my S5830i cant get registered onto my UK network. It sees my network provider (EE) and a bunch of others, but if i manually try and join the EE network (because it doesnt auto join ANY networks) it says I am not allowed/authorised to join the EE network.

If i revert back to the stock 2.3.6 it finds my EE network and joins it automatically without me having to specifiy it, easy as pie.

The IMEI is fine. Baseband is quoted as S5830iXXLA2 on both installs

Are there any known problems with the V10 that interferes with network connectivity that anyone is aware of.
