I got the 100 gig google drive ad several times a day. My blinkfeed was always full with that ad. Didn't know how to get rid of it, so I got rid of blinkfeed. Was anyone able to disable the ad?
[One (M8) General] caretaker01:
Yes, its the best news reader so far for me, expecially when you have added custom rss feeds.

In regard to your ad, either swipe left and customize features not to show (probably tips and help feature), or tap and hold on that one ad and select remove (that easy)

If you have root rename DriveActivator.apk will also disable it. I think it's in /system/apps

Have you setup the BlinkFeed or are you just using the default highlights. My guess is that if you haven't selected any custom topics or added rss feeds it doesn't have anything to show you so it keeps showing you the help and tips

Is there a way to force LTE on GPE 5.0.1?

I'm on the stock GPE 5.0.1, and once I do a cold boot I get LTE (about 2-3 signal bars) for about a minute, and then it changes to HSDPA (Full signal bars).

I have checked the settings, and my preferred network type is LTE, but its not helping. Is there anyway to force LTE?

Gone back to 4.4.4.

I lose more than I gain with the update. No Xposed and no sense toolbox, so no customization. Using stock HTC sense again reminded me of some of the annoying little quirks that I installed Xposed for in the first place. It's just awkward having a phone you can't customize.

Some apps don't work either, however most have updated versions.

I'll stick with kitkat for now until xposed is updated for lollipop.

mediaserver holding phone awake

Since the update my battery life while listening to music has gotten worse.

System (mediaserver) is really hitting the battery & the phone stays awake a LOT more than previously! almost exactly 1:1 with the amount of time music is played..

This is the case using HTC music player, and also poweramp & Google music.

The stock HTC player used to be great, hardly any battery usage + very little time held awake.

One thing though, i tried google music this morning at work, and i downloaded an album from the cloud storage, the held awake time was only five minutes after almost fifty minutes listening..but after listening to other music stored on the phone (sd card) the awake time had shot up by one hour..in around one hours use!?

I'm thinking either an update is needed, to make sure mediaserver does not keep awake so much..or maybe a factory reset?

Factory reset is in my hands, plus it'll get done sooner than any updates i reckon! may give it a try tomorrow :D

Same here and yes - on microsd card. Not crucial bug, but still a bug. I am more concern that the battery drains a lot faster on lollipop than on kitkat. Yes, I did reset and yes - same usage. Standby drain is a lot more, onscreen too and from 7:30-8h I can max out 6:30. Not sure if it's app unpolished for lollipop or something else and hard to track as I am not rooted. :(
[One (M8) General] Zipperface:
Listening to music the drain was also worse for me, plus it held the phone awake more than on kitkat. But music downloaded & played using google music app doesn't use up so much battery..but music on the sd card & played using google music (or stock player) DOES use more battery!?

I have just done a factory reset & am at the moment just using music downloaded & played via google player..

I'll stick some stuff on the sd card at the weekend & test if the drain still occurs.

Annoying really because i had LOADS of music on the sd card!!:mad:

Interesting Bug

If you use a custom rom (sense-based) which allows you to use more than 12 quick settings and you do use more than 12

TAKE a backup via online HTC backup

when you go back to stock, restore backup, apply the home screen from backup

you'll have more than 12 items on your notification toggles (you can add as many as you want, it just shows x/12 where x>12)!

This is fixable if you remove some until you have 12 or lower, then you cant cross 12 again.

5.1 gpe is scheduled for this month according to what I remember from Mo's twitter
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
It's funny, the more I look an Android L videos, the more I lean towards preferring Sense. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who thinks that way. Of course I'm very curious to see what L with Sense will look like, but Stock L compared to Sense is a close call.

Most of the material design and animations come from the apps, which runs on Sense. The new google now launcher I'm not a fan of, I much prefer a dark app drawer so I'll continue to use Nova. Battery saving, lockscreen notification, ART, that's already on sense. It doesn't look like L will have the option to pick colors for title bars so Sense has a slight advantage on that with themes but it's not like 4 options is a lot.

I know I'll always prefer the GPE Status bar icons and dialer, Sense has the better camera and music player

I guess the biggest difference will be what's under the hood, what we can't see but how things run in the back.

@Elisha Did you notice a speed difference between GPE and Brightstar? I think GPE doesn't support all the bands used in Canada.
[One (M8) General] LNJ:
GPE supports all the Rogers bands. 4, 7 and 17 LTE.

HTC One M8
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Okay, I can't find the post but I'm pretty sure you said that GPE was missing the 2600 or something like that.
[One (M8) General] LNJ:
You may be right but then I found the Anandtech review that breaks down the bands based on variants.

The most important Rogers band is. Band the AWS 1700/2100mhz followed by the 700mhz for the areas that it is offered in. 2600mhz is for extra bandwidth and pretty crappy indoor penetration. I had the Optimus G with only 2600mhz abd would not get any LTE indoors when my Note 2 with AWS had at least 3-4 bars. 700mhz has the best penetration but so far limited markets.

HTC One M8
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
High frequency means more distance and more speed at the cost of less penetration. That's why 5G home WiFi is amazingly fast until in has to go through a couple of walls.

So GPE would be missing a bit of extra bandwidth outside and that's it.
[One (M8) General] jodell22:
Higher frequency = Less distance as well as worse penetration. Lower frequencies travel further. The only reason it seems like 5 ghz travels further than 2.4 is because in 2.4 you have a lot more interference. But a 900 MHZ radio will travel a lot further than a 5 ghz radio. 5 ghz is easier to separate and reduce interference in though, so you typically can see further distances simply due to the fact that there's less interference. But in a perfect world, with no other interfering radios 2.4 will travel further than 5 ghz. You only get 4 usable channels (at 20 mhz wide channels) in 2.4. In 5 ghz you have a lot more (hard to give an actual number because it all depends on your router, and which channels were open to public indoor use at the time your 5ghz router was fcc certified, and which country you're in)

So in regards to your conversation, 700 mhz (depending on power limitations on that band) would have further range (at the cost of less throughput) than 1700 or 2100 mhz.

The reason throughput goes up in higher frequencies is because your wavelengths get shorter, and with shorter wave lengths you can cram more data per second through the radio.

Sorry for the random off topic post.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
That was very educational. I thought with 2.4 you had 11 channels to pick from but only 1, 6 and 11 did not overlap.

Oh and to my conversation, having an extra 2600 band would help outside but only if I'm close to an antenna because at that high frequency it would not travel as far.
[One (M8) General] jodell22:
Yeah 2600 would be pretty useless indoors depending on the power limitations the FCC places on them. Pretty tough to get 2600 to penetrate a building. Glad I didn't offend you with anything I said, that wasn't my intention! Just figured since I know little to nothing about developing anything for cell phones, I could contribute to something I do know a little about! haha.
