I don't know about you guys but I'm liking L a lot. I'll probably go back to 4.4.4 tomorrow and be ready for the OTA, I have a feeling some phones will start seeing the update Monday afternoon.
[One (M8) General] otariq:
I heard that android l would have native Wi-Fi support. Was this only for nexus 6? I was really hoping it would be for all phones running the new update
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I LOVE IT. Only beef I have with it is it doesn't grill steaks nicely, haha kidding but the only problem I have is WiFi goes out when screen is off for me. Don't think theres anymore issues that i've found that aren't resolved now...pretty sweet!

The wifi issue is bad because if I download from my PC browser onto phone it'll use mobile data and possibly overcharge me, or if anything updates....thank the Googley Gods they added an option to disable auto update! ;D
[One (M8) General] dspcap:
I don't think we'll see a big improvement on battery with an OTA.
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
Quite possibly, however, I feel that we are probably still stuck with the random lag spikes. I have noticed however that mine tend to be centered around Chrome, my phone just cannot stand Chrome. I literally have to soft reset everytime an app opens a link in Chrome.

So I noticed something, if you look at the build number for SkyDragon it says the build number is LRX21M.H2.

This leads me to build believe that SkyDragon is built on the R2 branch, which is the branch of Android 5.0 for the Nexus Player, and thus could explain the lag issues, the animations and such are not optimized for phones.
[One (M8) General] sphyyr:
So Android System has been pretty battery intensive for me, usually SoT is my primary usage (granted that was on KitKat so this may be the new normal) but is there a recommended app for more in depth battery stats?

This is my battery usage currently if that is of any help.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
I have the exact same issue, and its really annoying. I tried every possible solution that I can think of but its all to no avail. I can only hope for it to get fixed in the final OTA because I doubt if it has anything to do with the firmware as some people say.
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Same, I did discover something though. Don't know if this is just me but I have tried over 10 times to replicate this bug for a logcat and it ALWAYS fails to occur when my phone is plugged in. So for me I have to say it only occurs when unplugged, so if you need WiFi for a while, plug in your phone lol. Or at least try plugging it in and see if it re-occurs and its not just me.
[One (M8) General] lovekidd:
My battery life is awesome, took 2 percent in bedtime, 13 percent for around one hour of web browsing and social work. I didn't start using it with full battery, I will upload a sot when next full day use.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Well, Mo said the target was early next week for the update and today is a brand new week!
[One (M8) General] scream_clarity:
I've read a few times that people believe that the rom is based off the build that had the battery drain. That would make sense because after I installed it, I started charging it which took way longer than usual (from 50 to full was around 6 hours from a wall charger) which led me to believe that there is a drain on something. It was at 100% when I went to sleep and 7.5-8 hours later, it was at 76%. I used it for about 20 minutes and it had drained another 20%. I really want to use it until the ota drops but I'm not sure it'll make it through a work day with regular use.
[One (M8) General] badboy47:
I am the opposite. I made a switch from N5 to M8. I couldn't stand N6. Anyway enjoy!
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
I was similar. Went from an N5 to a M8. Bought a One Plus One, put as side the M8 and used that for a month. Traded the one plus one to a friend for a nexus 5 and $100 cause he really wanted one. Gonna stay with the M8 till the next HTC flagship I think.
[One (M8) General] Zorachus:
I got an invite for the 1+1 few weeks ago, I got it, and have my HTC One M8 to my wife. Is funny, I am always playing with her phone now, I dort of miss the compact size and easy one handed use of the M8.

But the 1+1 has AMAZING battery life, and nice screen. It's just borderline too large.

With the 5.0 Lollipop release officially coming for GPE's this week direct from Google, be interesting to see how it is on the M8 ? If it rocks, I may have to go sell the 1+1 and get another M8. But then I really should wait for the more stable CM12 nightlies first.
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Anyone else find it totally idiotic that they removed silent mode in 5.0? or in other words no vibration, no noise, etc? In order to activate it you must put your phone on vibrate then set the volume up 1 notch (1) and reboot. Afterwards you have their new stupid version of "silent mode' lol.

[One (M8) General] primed1:
I find this especially annoying as well. Especially with this phone's enormously loud vibrations. When I sit some place quiet, and recieve a notification, it sounds like a fish is flapping around in my pocket. It wasn't very well designed from Google. Oh well, hopefully it'll be fixed in 5.1 or something.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Isn't that why they added the "do not disturb" feature?
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
I don't get why no one else understands this! The do not disturb feature is actually customizable and works a lot better than the old "Silent" feature, and yet everyone is complaining about it.

By the way, is there any working CM12 build for our device as of now?
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
There is no working CM12 build for any device. CM12 in general is broken. CyanogenMod themselves have said this, and said they won't enable CM12 nightlies until its stable
[One (M8) General] tominozh:
So, did you all try android lollipop? What do yous think HTC will implement in New sense version?

I think will definitely get a torch tile in qs, maybe brightness slider as well. What other change will see in "new" sense?
[One (M8) General] primed1:
CyanogenMod is in a buildable state at the moment, however most features are unstable at most. I just started a build of CM12. I'll report back once it's done building.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
Too bad. I gave up the GPE rom because the "WiFi disconnecting on sleep" bug is killing me, and I can't flash the GPE firmware to fix it because I am S-On.

I finally came to an agreement with the Sunshine Dev over the payment method, and then i realized that Sunshine doesn't work on HBoot 3.19.

Such a bad day for a tech nerd like me.
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
You won't have radio. RIL is broken in CM12
[One (M8) General] primed1:
CyanogenMod just updated the M8 build fixes patch in the gerrit including sepolicy changes. If it doesn't fix RIL, i'm sure it will still at least have a few bug fixes.
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
Possibly.
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Wait, so not having GPE firmware is why the WiFI disconnects on sleep?
[One (M8) General] Whoareyou:
I'm running the L GPE firmware and I have no issues with WiFi at all
[One (M8) General] S2kT68m:
Convert your M8 to GPE Edition and flash the proper M8-L-Firmware. Thats fix the wifi bug. ???
[One (M8) General] Captain_Throwback:
Interesting . . . I'm on the Sprint port using the latest Sprint firmware and I have no WiFi bug (that I've noticed).
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I'm using the VZW port, I don't think CDMA phones have the option to convert to GPE like GSM (international) variant does.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
I tried every other possible way to fix it, including returning back to stock, re-locking the bootloader, installing the 3.28.401.9 update (my biggest mistake) and going through the unlock process again, as well as flashing the ROM using different recoveries for multiple times (clean installs) and messing around with the apps and settings, etc.

Its all to no avail. The WiFi disconnects 90% of the times when the screen goes off. A few others have reported that flashing the GPE firmware fixed this issue for them, so i came to believe that this is the only way to fix it.
[One (M8) General] Dutchdeveloper:
For people with battery issues on GPE 5.0, download a CPU app (no frills or something) and see what the minimum CPU clock is.

It was 1,7ghz here just after flashing, lowered that and battery usage went down a lot
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I have to say I'm really liking the new "Users" option on 5.0. Nice to know I can swap users before handing my phone to someone so they can't go through all my stuff hehe
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
You could simply use screen pinning instead :P
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
Can they push the damn thing already. Sheet. I can't sleep
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Something I dislike is how weak the brightness adjuster is, like seriously I can barely notice a difference between lowest setting and mid way. I only notice lowest to max lol, its pathetic compared to Senses brightness changer levels.
[One (M8) General] benj!:
The auto-brightness is much faster on Sense as well, I thought. Still, not a massive issue.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
Turn of the adaptive brightness under display settings
[One (M8) General] theikhaled:
Guys any new news about the lollipop? it's really killing me to be excited for something that i'm not sure when we will get it :p
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
According to HTC's VP, the target for the OTA is early this week.

This being the tweet : https://twitter.com/moversi/status/533145251234738176

And another one : https://twitter.com/moversi/status/533145123304275968

(Than Sven B guy is persistent!)
[One (M8) General] Winston1989:
I have a feeling it will be pushed in the next few hours :)
[One (M8) General] :
I feel the same. Just converted to GPE 4.4.4 and waiting for OTA or RUU.
[One (M8) General] danger12345:
Keep waiting you guys won't get that until Wednesday
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I have the same feeling that we will get it today. I will convert back to stock 4.4.4 this morning and hope to see an OTA!

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

Based on what?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
badger poo???

I have heard that it's today :good:
[One (M8) General] danger12345:
Might be tomorrow or Wednesday
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I love all the speculated information from random sources.

Fact : Target is early this week. That means probably on or before Wednesday if nothing holds it back
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
lol so do I and it really doesn't matter to me as i'm running the SD GPE rom :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Well it matters because if the OTA gets pushed and you phone was selected, it won't get it because you are on 5 already.
[One (M8) General] Captain_Throwback:
As long as whoever gets it first uploads it here, I don't care when my device gets it ;).

So if you get it, please make a copy of it and upload here for public consumption :).
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Where would the OTA go? Just the downloads folder?
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
so if im not wrong then the m8 will certainly be getting the L update sometime next year, isn it? coz the way htc ditched one x i was hell bent not to buy another htc product. But i decided to give them another chance since they promised 2 yrs updates!
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yea updates will take up to 90 days it might even be there in December or so... But still faster and better then other manufacturers xD

[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
In my crystal ball i can forsee this thread going mental at the end of november hahaha
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
You never know, maybe HTC are busy working on L for the One M8 at the moment. Google have provided the preview source and so this gives OEM's a chance to get geared up for the actual release. There was a video leaked the other day of a Samsung S5 running an L build (still has Touchwiz slapped all over it, but what else would you expect). It will be interesting to see how HTC's take on it. Although Sense arguably isnt as heavily modified looks wise compared to Touchwiz, I'm guessing it will probably still look more familiar to what we already have rather than a total overhaul.
[One (M8) General] fix-this!:
id say htc will provide android L and sense by january. but the gpe modes will get it right away, thats why im converting mine.
[One (M8) General] otariq:
the 90 day policy is to just release it to the carriers right? then it all comes down to individual carrier testing dictating how much longer it'll take for the update to hit ota. when is android L suppose to come out? Probably November right? So my guess would be it'll come out end of january at the earliest but I hope I'm wrong and it's released earlier :)
[One (M8) General] mattman83:
I believe it's 90 days to get it to customers on the major us carriers. Any other phone it will be variable...
[One (M8) General] darienms1986:
It is 90 days to get it to the carrier.... Then they take as long as they want to release if at all
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
I will be bypassing any carrier delays by converting my m8 to whichever one gets the OTA first (probably Dev edition) using the guide in my sig :)
[One (M8) General] neoreeps:
There is no policy on release to carriers, android is open source there is no waiting period. When the release is ready it's released. HTC has openly committed to 90 day release of major upgrades.
[One (M8) General] otariq:
lol i would do that too but i need my wifi calling from tmobile. i think ill try out the stock android l first for a couple weeks to see if it can sway me from sense. right now i prefer sense over stock android
[One (M8) General] actual69:
Cant wait

Cant wait for this its gonna be so awesome
[One (M8) General] sapplegater:
Recent rumors are that the Nexus 6 will support tmobile wifi calling out of box so maybe the GPE edition will have this as well.
[One (M8) General] otariq:
You might be right. I was reading that android l would have native support for wifi calling and it would come down to individual carriers whether or not to support it.
[One (M8) General] Art2Fly:
I just want HTC to release their TV app for AOSP. It's the only thing that keeps me on sense. Hopefully the L update will include this functionality
[One (M8) General] jrodsep:
How long did it take the GPE m7 to get 4.3? Like a month? I hope the GPE m8 gets it fast. Heck, Samsung already has a touchwizified version of L in a video preview.
[One (M8) General] cdextor:
Htc one m8 what's sense including in android L?
[One (M8) General] onthezone:
Took the M7 2 weeks for GPE.

The TV app works with Google play edition but will never work with aosp aftermarket roms.
[One (M8) General] Jamal Ahmed:
I hope it's lesser than that for us. I bought an M8 for the dual Sense/GPE luxury, and really can't contain my excitement for L!
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
5.0 Lollipop it is then! [emoji3]
[One (M8) General] Captain_Throwback:
It's usually either there or on /cache.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Well I hope I get to be the one sharing it, it would get me like 3 thanks!
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Lol nah not for me personally il just wait for Holyangel to make an updated ROM once the OTA hits :D ;)
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
That's what I'm thinking of doing. The odds that my phone will be part of the first to get the OTA early are slim so I was thinking running an L ROM until someone shares the OTA file, then it's only a matter of manually flashing it via stock recovery! No need to wait for google, just need someone to share it.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
precisely!!! thats why I (and no doubt yourself) find the "when is the OTA hitting" arguments ridiculous ha!
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
It's more a question of "When is the OTA hitting someone who will share it here"!
[One (M8) General] dspcap:
I did something similar as you. I went form the N5 to G3, didn't like the G3, went to the M8.... Love this phone. I had the M7 about 2 years ago. HTC phones are just better in my opinion.

[MENTION=4645599]One-M8-Master[/MENTION]

was it you who said we need to disable boomsound to get v4a working??
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
no :D :D never ever :D it depends for which Rom or update you meant. normally no we don't have to disable boomsound to get v4a working. it will work together without Problems, but depends on the tweaks u use with v4a you have to disable boomsound unless you like distortions which could be there then :D

but no i didn't said it and it's not necessary to disable it :P
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
ahh cool. my bad haha. Im on sd lollipop. boomsound is terrible on this so will disable that and see what v4a can do for me!!! :p
[One (M8) General] androidindian:
Been on sinless 5.0 Google edition rom the entire day today.. And its super awesome.. Stable and really smooth! Love it
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Any sign of any OTA push? I
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
OTA's usually get pushed anywhere from 10am-2pm PST
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
If I receive the OTA, is the phone automatically rebooting after downloading it ? Or will I have enough time to copy it (for you ^^) ?
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
So it means that if there will be any today most probably it will start after 2 to 6 hours from now.

Let's hope it will be today :)
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
After the OTA finishes downloading it will tell you to "Install Now" or "Install Later" so you will have the ability to grab the zip from /cache folder
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Checked out the sinless thread. The original post is too much of a mess for me to bother. Says 5.0 in the thread title, rom features say 4.4.4, changelog says 4.4.4, and the download is off site on another page with the same inaccurate info if im even downloading the 5.0 version.

Wanted to see info on any tweaks and adjustments made or features added but i dont see any.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Am on SD 5.0 too I suggest you to use project era v21 with Dolby mobile !!!! Much better then v4a, it also has profiles and do to uploaded w few different config so if his first edited one isn't good you can flash 2 different and see which is better! And really with boomsound off it sounds so dope awesome!!!

[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I think that ironically, it's the people with ROOT that will be able to grab the OTA file, but it probably won't install unless the phone has been RUU'd with no root.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

Root is probably required to get the file from /cache right?
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
You mean that if you have a rooted GPE M8, with the original bootloader and recovery you will not be able to install the OTA?
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Root changes a partition that might prevent the OTA from installing
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
It is highly possible that it won't work, simply because there is a new OTA mecanism introduced with L (it was already present in KitKat but was never used). The OTA will patch the whole /system partition at once, not individual files within it (as it's doing for the moment). That means that it will check if the whole partition MD5/hash is the one expected; it won't do that check for individual files but for the whole partition. That's the main difference with KK OTA's.

That means that if you are rooted, the upgrade will apply the following steps:

1) Rebooting to bootloader/recovery

2) Install the new firmware

3) Reboot to bootloader

4) Check the MD5/hash of the /system partition

-FAIL because it doen't match with the MD5 expected.

That means you end up with the new firmware and the old ROM, as the new one hasn't been flashed. It probably means bootloops, or even bricking your device.

So you'd better run a not-rooted RUU before getting the update, in case you don't want a beautiful 5 inches paper-weight.
[One (M8) General] Captain_Throwback:
Wait, so you're saying the order of the OTA update has changed with Lollipop too? The firmware has always installed last on every other iteration of Android for HTC devices, not first.
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Oh, thanx alot for the information!
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
Yeah, I think so. If it was the same as before, why would it be a problem for booting up after the update ? Many users have already bricked their Moto X 2014 taking the update ^^'

As HTC GPE devices as near stock, such as Moto X, I consider they have a very similar update system.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Completely bricked or had to be RUU'd back?
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
Why don't y'all just RUU your phone again to GPE.... Problem solved

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Make sure don't use the rooted zip
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Oh wow that fixed it, thanks!
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
Normally they have to get back to older ROM and firmware, but there is always a risk that I'd like to avoid :P So just RUU with non-rooted
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
Guys its 10:30 PST :) Hit that update button (once :P)... No luck here :(
[One (M8) General] Captain_Throwback:
I guess we'll see how HTC handles the OTA. Even for GPE, the OTA updates had the firmware flash at the end of the process rather than the beginning - it could be that HTC will continue to do it their own way (they often do).
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Oh i'm not taking any chance, the only way I flash the OTA is from stock non-rooted.

I was asking because people use the work "brick" for everything now even just to get attention. In my book, if the phone can be recovered by flashing something or using an EXE RUU, it's definitely not bricked, just needs to be fixed.
[One (M8) General] :
Or RUU 4.4.3 unrooted and flash stock gpe recovery. Then update via OTA to 4.4.4. So if to KitKat 4.4.4 goes, goes to L also.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
That's what I'd do, RUU to 4.4.3 non rooted, OTA to 4.4.4, and then wait.
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
Omg. I seriously getting anxious... Why is the update not here yet. God
[One (M8) General] jureca:
Right now in Spain comes OTA Nexus 5, google to see for play ....

[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Everyone we have til Wednesday for the update, after Wednesday its considered late in the week. I have it feeling it'll be here on Tuesday, let's see what happens
[One (M8) General] MistaBishi:
We are all waiting! I wouldn't expect it today guys. Honestly, I don't expect it to be pushed until 'Update Wednesday'.

Or 'Update Thursday' here in Australia, but it doesn't have that same ring to it :p
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
It'll get here when it gets here. I think "Early" in the week is Monday/Tuesday.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
Waiting Game

Now I'm in the same boat guys. I managed to S-off (Thanks to Sunshine) and I did full conversion, now waiting for the OTA. *Feeling Excited*
[One (M8) General] fiveroses:
Same here. Except that I flashed the rooted RUU. I'll reflash the un-rooted version again and wait! Hope they said an exact time instead of "early next week"..
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Maybe an evening push?
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
Or nothing for today ^^
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
That would be pure awesome Nic!

Just a quick reminder guys, don't forget to change your CID and MID before the update. and do not hit the update button before you pull the OTA file. it can helps us all!
