[MENTION=2477527]mrjaydee82[/MENTION] any chance of looking into MMS being compressed in apps like stock messaging/hangouts/8sms/hellosms? When trying to send a MMS the messaging apps compress them so much that they are around 200-300kb and when received the picture looks real low quality, its around 30kb when received. Apps like Textra/Chompsms/Evolvesms work fine but the ones I named have issues. I prefer hangouts but don't use it due to this issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
I haven't messed with hangouts for MMS ...but the actual MMS in the ROM is decompressed a bit
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ufkal:
Stupid question - 4 seconds of research found the answer. please excuse me.

TIA.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Ok, this issue resides in the other GPE rom by DH too. I believe its also in AOSP roms also, its probably in the coding. On stock Sense the MMS size goes up to 1200kb so when received its around 400kb so it looks fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
Maybe try clean wiping as I do not see this issue or have.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dcox28:
I came from DH 's rom, I never had the signal issue that I noticed but am having it now and I installed the new build. I am in an LTE area and have watched the dbm drop to 0 about 10 times now every 5 seconds or so
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ludeboy:
Is there a file I can push from this ROM to my GPE ROM to fix this? I don't really want to flash a whole new ROM lol. Hoping the fix might work with digitalhigh's GPE. I don't want any of the L mods :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
Well if this is a no go I'll put back the way it was...if this doesn't do it it then there was never an issue to begin with
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ludeboy:
I'm not sure this is a no-go. There's another person in DH's GPE thread that said this fixed it for him. I know exactly where I can test this, but I'm at work and can't try it. It's on my couch in front of the TV. My signal bounces between -107dbm and 0dbm.

Any way you can give me the files to push to my phone using DH's GPE? Or will it kill my phone?

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Guess not. I'll install the whole ROM to see if the fix works or not. The things I do for myself...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dcox28:
It is possible it was a fluke. When it kept going to 0dbm it was as I was sitting in our church parking lot and was on the cusp of losing wifi. I had actually just lost wifi and think it was something with the handout so that may have been why. I am at home now and turned my wifi off and am only getting 3g, where I always get 4g
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] termleech:
I can say that with DH ROM I had the issue, it would bounce to 0 pretty frequently sitting at my desk in my office in the basement. However with the test build I can say that I haven't seen it happened a single time. So maybe if you didn't have the issue then the fix makes yours worse.

[edit] I just flashed back to DH rom to test and sitting in the same spot I'm getting the bounce to 0. So for me at least signal is definitely higher with the test build and I haven't seen a single bounce yet.[/edit]
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
Thanks for the report back
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] termleech:
I did a little further testing, and I know people will think I'm crazy but I'm married so I'm use to that. When I first flashed the test build I had the bounce to 0 for about a minute. But I let the phone turn off and sit for about 5 minutes and haven't had it since. I've been in the same spot in my basement so I haven't moved around any. I know it sounds absolutely insane because why would that happen but I'm just reporting back what I'm finding.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ludeboy:
Just flashed this ROM and still bouncing to 0dbm. I'll wait like you and see what happens.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
I'll admit I'm not in a good 4G area at my home. That being said, I test from one spot in my home office.

1.) I did a clean install of 3.4.5 and tested from my desk chair in my home office. I was seeing average signal strength of -99db - -112db. I was getting about 4 meg up and 1.5 meg down. I did notice that the signal strength dropped to 0 with 99asu about once every 30 seconds or so.

2.) Did a clean install of DH GPE. From my desk chair I was seeing the signal strength of -99db - 113db. I was getting about 4 meg down and 1.5 meg up. I was also seeing drops to 0db and 99asu about every 30 seconds.

3.) Did a clean install of CleanROM 1.3. From my desk signal strength showed -113db. I was getting about 5 meg down and 1.5 meg up. The signal was not dropping to zero at any time.

4.) Did a clean install of the stock ROM (from CleanROM site). From my desk I was seeing -110 db and was getting about 5 meg down and 1.5 up. No signal drops.

I did all tests 3 times and used an average of the 3 tests. At least from my rudimentary tests, there does not appear to be much of a difference in my home Sense vs GPE except both GPE's will drop signal about every 30 seconds.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
gps was useless when i tried using maps today, could never get a signal
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Some have had to go back to a sense rom get a GPS lock with GPS Test or similar and then flash GPE. This was an issue for folks with the DH version of GPE too. I myeslf have never had this issue. At least not yet. I'm a heavy Maps user so I test my GPS right after a new install.

Also ensure that GPS is on. Some are off by default. Again, I have not had this happen to me but I have seen reports of it.

[General Questions and Answers] zhouxiaodi:
Hello everybody!

There are some people talking about using external USB dongle on non-3G version of NEXUS-7 or -10 through PPP protocol. but until now, It seems that nobody is talking about using CDC-ACM to connect an old phone to the internet.

I am simply curious of Howto, because according to the experience I got from openwrt platform, old phone like Nokia E series, acting as ACM device under Linux, is even easier to use to get internet occasionally. it needs no PPP dialing part. I think a lot of people still keep a old Nokia phone(it is not so easy to break them right?), for those Pads without 3G module, I believe using CDC-ACM class driver is quite handy.

I would really appreciate any information you give!

Reflashing stock recovery seemed to fix the issue for me.

That's just Google play services being outdated. Reboot usually fixes that with any Rom. Recovery has nothing to do with installing apps.

first off I want to thank the OP for this. I was updating (or rather reverting back) to stock with the RUU from the HTC site. When it got to step 2/7 at 66% I lost power and poof.. after this all I could do was get to bootloader and fastboot. Being that I could get to those I knew that I wasn't hard bricked...yet... whew. I tried re-running that RUU but no luck. I then went into fast boot and flashed a rcovery image and then booted into recovery and tried to restore a nand backup.. No go on that. So finally I downloaded this and put on the root of my external card and this worked...

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Yes you can take the latest update after doing this but keep in mind it will ERASE everything on your phone so make sure you have pics, music etc. backed up. It makes it like a new phone. You only need to lock boot loader if you are s-on, but it says you are soff so you are good to go and you can stay unlocked and soff.

PS, I sold my m8 and switched to the s5 but since this has been such a hit, I will make a bootable ruu for the new firmware once it is available.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
yes, as long as you don't root it or install custom recovery. Just run ruu again before you sell it and ota will work fine. soff/bootloader status do not effect updates, only messing with system "root" or flashing recovery

In order to update you need to be locked again. You can relock and do the ruu. Then take each ota until you are current. Then unlock again. Flash twrp. Flash supersu.

And enjoy new update.

If you are considering s-off now is still the time.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] theDude42:
so i'm going to do fastboot oem lock and then do the 1.58xxxx RUU, correct?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dottat:
That's correct. Should run once relocked.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] theDude42:
thanks for confirmation dude. did exactly those steps (relock, then RUU)... fired it up and it downloaded another update. Then i had to re unlock bootloader (had to get new token from htc), then applied twrp with fastboot, then super su, then went ahead and paid $25 to s-off with sunshine while I was here :)

You are a beautiful human being. Exactly what i was looking for! MANY THANKS!!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] shoe-jitsu:
err... alright everything was swell until I tried the OTA. I locked the bootloader again just like you said, but when the phone shuts down and starts the update, it stops again halfway and I have to force a restart :/

Any idea why?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
What OTA are you trying to use? Did you check for an update in Settings; or load the file "manually"? You can only OTA to 2.23 or 3.42. You can't "skip" to 4.28 (if that is what you are trying to do).

Alternately, you can just run the RUU for 4.28 (or 2.23 or 3.42). For RUUs, skipping

is

okay.

Also, you don't need to relock the bootloader to OTA; only to RUU. But a relocked bootloader is not causing your issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] shoe-jitsu:
I did the check for update through the settings. I came from GPE btw, although I made sure that I went through the process of changing the partition sizes by following grentuu's guide. I'm probably just gonna find a pc that I can install the newest RUU on, and hopefully that will fix the OTA issue.

I uninstalled my Swype keyboard and was in the process of reinstalling a new one when my phone screen shut off. Now, on the lock screen, no keyboard pops up when I try to enter my password, only the Google Voice red button, which doesn't actually record anything. It just stays statically in red 'waiting for results.' When I press the keyboard image next to the password input box, the 'Choose Input Method' option shows up, with no options to select from. I've tried clearing the cache as well, to no avail.
