This is infuriating, I've been running stock (4.4.2) since I got this phone and been pretty happy with it. First time in many years that I haven't "needed" to install a custom ROM or even root a device to get what I want out of it. This morning I got an update for 5.0.2, and it's super slow. I've had to reboot three times, some of my settings are messed up like metric/imperial units. I've always had about 4GB free internal, since I have a 32GB uSD card but suddenly my device is completely full. I can't even run any Google apps because there's not enough space to update Play Services.

I've also got this new voicemail app update with avatars and inline advertising, how can they think it's acceptable to bundle an app with inline ads? I've got tons of crap on here that I'll NEVER use. Is there any way to customize this, i.e. remove stock apps that only have "disable" or "uninstall updates" as options?
[HTC One E8] Eiad Ajam:
For the new update

You should do a full wipe for clean install

And you'll find that lollipop is smoother than kitkat

And for the app i don't use it.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Any device updated from Kitkat to Lollipop would use more internal memory because of the shift to ART runtime, which uses more memory to make everything faster. And yes, the general consensus is things are faster with Lollipop, like already mention above. You should wipe the phone cache, and try factory reset. Even going to the storage option, and hitting clear memory clears out some memory. That will help improve performance for sure.

I don't know about the voicemail app too since I don't use it. Are you using a carrier branded E8? Because I don't have much bloat on mine. :eek: And no, the only option is to disable them. Can't remove without rooting the device.

Battery indication and screen freezes!

Hey guys i'm facing an issue after the l-update! I switch off my phone during charging..after an hour or so when i press the power button to view my charging status the screen shows me the percentage but after that the screen halts and the backlight remains on and on! Also the percentage under the battery symbol hangs! Is anybody facing the issue? Pls. Reply..
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
I don't usually switch off my phone ever, why do you do it while charging? :confused:

Anyway, I tried what you said to replicate the issue. Nothing freezes. The backlight goes out after about 20 secs. Even the percentage shows the exact current value whenever the power button is hit, i.e. it changes. In short everything is normal.

Did you try factory reset? A cache wipe and factory reset is recommended after a major update.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Never known anyone who keeps his/ her phone off while charging. I have heard it used to help in the time of Ni-MH batteries but Li-ion and Li-Poly are made in such a way that they don't need that 'special' treatment. In fact, experts recommend that you don't wait till a drain in case of a Li-Poly battery like the E8's. They also say that you should just charge till 95-98% or something. Something to do with triggering charging cycle counts. But if this does happen to you, you can try the volume up + power combination to hard reboot the phone since a battery pull isn't possible with the E8.
[HTC One E8] Arionic:
Yes..i did a factory reset..also went to restore and i've done a wipe of my cache! did u press the power button after an hour of charging? coz usually it doesn't hangs if i press it after half an hour or 45 mins..the screen halts if i press the power button after an hour during charging!

oh...yes i know it's weird and a bit hilarious but mmm i really care for my phones!! that is why i switch off during charging!! :D:p
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Yup, like I said, I recreated what you had mentioned. Anyway, like suggested here, why do you even need to switch it off whilst charging? Surely, I'm not gonna do it again. I see no reason to ever turn off my phone. :fingers-crossed:

I figured out what's going on on my phone. It seemed like Spotify was storing data on internal storage so I followed their instructions to clean it up. Finally I was able to verify using the file manager that it was actually storing data on my 32GB microSD card, so I figured I wouldn't worry about it. I'm going on a road trip tomorrow so I threw a few movies on my card, and later this evening I looked at my phone and I had 20 or so apps that were just hanging in the update queue. I rebooted and tried again and got a message that there was no space. I'd already verified that I had ~4GB free on my internal memory so this seemed really weird.

I checked storage and it said that I was using 15.7/16GB.. I was scratching my head about what the heck could have possibly happened, I checked and verified that my movies were on the SD card, and then decided to delete them and check again. Boom! Now 10GB used of 16GB... so the phone is counting files stored on my microSD card against it's 16GB internal storage to the point where I can't even update apps! What the hell? Do I need to wipe it? Will that even help?

Ok guys I've got some money saved up and I was wondering should I stick with this phone or buy new one.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
What are your options for a new one? Depending on that, we'll be able to give better suggestions. :)

Sent from my HTC One_E8 dual sim
[HTC One E8] iamsuperuser:
That's what I cannot decide because I'm actually fine with e8 but the updates are slow , there is no development anymore and the hardware isn't future proof.

If nexus 6 had 128 gb model with dual SIM I would definitely buy it.

So can you suggest me along those lines like dual SIM, flagship, timely updates etc.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
When dual sim is a priority, there are very few better phones in the market. Perhaps the HTC One ME, my brother purchased it a few days back, and it's a really great device. But it's update status will be very similar to ours. LG G4 is a good option too, in India it's a dual sim device, flagship and hence should get timely updates. But you can never be too sure, and it's a tad bit costly for that S808 chip. Also, from it's XDA forums, I saw that the dual sim version pretty much doesn't have any development.

I, personally, suggest you to hold out for the second wave of devices which come around October-November, or to go for the ME or the G4 if you really wish to change atm.
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
[MENTION=4218294]iamsuperuser[/MENTION]

And if you dont want flagships then the 7K range phones like YUPHORIA / XIAOMI / LENOVO etc are very good dual sims.

I see a lot of development for the Yuphoria since i bought one,,, and even Mi forums are very very active....

Those phones are also giving the big guys a run for their money, thats sure....

Cheers

[HTC One E8] iamsuperuser:
Will there be any 128 gb models of the next nexus or motor x . I searched on the web and there is very little on these upcoming phones
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
There are hardly any options for dual SIM as of now. But since Google has now made it a native feature on Android, we should see more of these in future. But as of now, the E8 dual SIM is the way to go. There is a dual SIM variant of the M8 as well but I don't think you can get that in India with warranty. It sells on eBay for about 33-34k. If you ask me, that is hardly an "upgrade" and if I were you I'd pretty much stick with the E8.

Also which version of viper are you using? ?

I used the latest version of viper and it worked for me . I'm s-off btw but I'm not sure if it makes any difference.

Maybe you should root and busybox properly otherwise I'm out of ideas
[HTC One E8] alanjolly123:
I'm not s-off... Maybe that's why.. Out of maybe a 20-30 attempts to delete files from system I was only successful twice.. Maybe viper can't write drivers to the system partition i guess...!

Hey guys, first and foremost let me say that I lack complete knowledge on most of these things, so please bare with me :D

I am an HTC One E8 Owner, reside in Colombia, and I have an unlocked Sprint Model (One SIM). My current phone version is 1.22.651.1.

Recently, my phone downloaded the Lollipop update, Software update 2.32.651.7, and I was really excited to install it.

Thing is, when I get install, my phone reboots, but when it turns on, it goes into this program called Team Win v 2.8.0.6.

Keep in mind that someone sold me this phone, I did not install this Team Win Recovery program.

Well, I read a little about it, and was indicated to locate the update under "INSTALL". Well, I did so, but I get the following error after trying to install it (Both ZIP File Signature Verification and Force MD5 Check on all Zip files where checked):

E: Error installing Zip sugnature verification Failed: 1

and it asks me to reboot the system.

Now I've tried it multiple times over the past few days with no luck, Im not able to install the update on my phone. Can anyone help me?
[HTC One E8] crystal_ball:
Well, somebody has installed a custom recovery on your phone, and you need to have an original recovery to update. The safest and easiest method is to download the Lollipop ROM from HTC and perform a manual update as shown in the instructions. Don't forget to back up everything because this will erase all your data.

I agree with Danny. I don't think buying this phone was a bad decision at all. It is the same as the M8 minus the slippery metallic exterior. The only real problem is that there exist too many variants for its own good. The rubber coming off in the grey coloured variant was something that angered me though.

As a daily driver, I think it is fantastic. Very stable and even the battery life is quite adequate.
