What's strange is I don't include this keyboard in the ROM, it is something added by user from playstore, so technically they should both be on the same version, right?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Power and home OR power and volume down, but power and home button is easiest.

HOWEVER

Don't worry about it, I just flashed my SROM nandroid and the issue IS present.

This is a Google issue.

I have used these since flashing 2.0 without any problems, good battery life, responsive device. My only complaint is that wifi turms off in deep sleep no matter what I do, so I have to start my weekly middle of the night Titanium backup to Google Drive manually in the morning.

That is a trivial issue not worth poking any bears over.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsauder2:
what firmware are you on? that happens if you're running KitKat firmware, but should not on the lollipop firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
That's not quite true, I've found three different Lollipop firmwares and the wifi on and off issue happens on 2 of the 3. The one that works for me is the SRom firmware. Your mileage may vary. If one is not working for you, try another. You can always flash back to KK firmware.

Also on another note about firmwares, like I said the SRom firmware works for wifi, but will not work with the GPE Contacts and Dialer. People I am talking too can't here me. If I use one of the firmwares with the wifi issue, it works. and then the third firmware for me does not work for wifi or GPE dialer. It seams each phone handles them differently. Go figure.... Can't wait till we get the Official firmware. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dajmanjt:
Which firmware worked with the gpe contacts?

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Is the fix to the power button included in the mod pack? Or do I need to flash that as well?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Technically if you don't choose power button flashlight its the same fix.

Although I'd still flash the fix, just to be sure.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I agree, it works best for me also.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
I am on the Lollipop .09 thought (this is a correction; I thought I was on 0.8.) I will try .09 (then .10 if that doesn't cure it.) At this point I think we're 10 days at most from the official Verizon OTA, so it won't matter for long.

My name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I just compared the firmwares for lollipop and aer0zer0 is the same as srom firmware. Digitalhigh firmwsreis different. I am using digitalhigh firmware right now and it is working for gpe dialer but WiFi is a little wonky. The srom/aer0zer0 firmwsre seams to have solid WiFi for me but gpe dialer not working correctly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dajmanjt:
Happy late birthday Andybones!

Thanks for making such an amazing ROM :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Moved to the .10 firmware and the wifi still drops out on deep sleep. Not really an issue now because, like I said, I think Big Red's FOTA is imminent.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mikexda:
Not second-guessing or questioning, just curious... Inside info, hunch, or simply about friggin time? ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RemnantKing2:
http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/#device-content

Website states "This device is in the 3 - Certification stage of the Android Lollipop Release."

The only stage after that is the Complete Stage, which is Stage 4...so it's definitely imminent.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Educated guess based upon the following:

1. The T-Mobile version is coming out. Unlocked Verizon Phones run on T-Mobile, so obviously the firmware is pretty much stabilized.

2. I know HTC tests extensively and the M9 will inevitably have Lollipop, so they must have an M8 version ready to roll.

3. They will likely want to have all the M8's updated *before* they announce the M9, not afterwards. Just makes more sense.

4. What the other poster said about the latest stage of the ROM.

5. Verizon frequently comes out last because it insists upon putting its own damnable bloatware on the devices, often stripping HTC's own software, e.g. Verizon Backup versus HTC Backup. The former costs more money and sucks; the latter is elegant and painless.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
Wouldn't it make more sense to launch their new flag ship device(m9) with lollipop before it comes out on the m8. That way people are more inclined to update to the m9. Granted the m9 is supposed to have sense 7 so I guess that would be the big software jump for m9.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
I don't want to hijack Andy's thread. I only mentioned the best FOTA because it's raining OTA's now, so tweaking firmware for this otherwise solid ROM is a tempfix.

I am going to try Digital High's ROM too since I have heard that addresses the wifi drop.

Meanwhile, it makes sense for HTC & Verizon to update the M8 ASAP so that their claims about keeping flagships current are credible BEFORE the M9 comes out.

My name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Just remember, making sense and making money are 2 separate things and I bet you can tell which is more important to Verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
how do you test wifi dropping? Im just curious bc i want to see if i can duplicate it on mine. I run tunein on wifi for hours today and no problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Odd WiFi has been extremely solid for me. I use it about 99% of the day.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
I leave the device on the charger overnight with wifi on. In the morning wifi is always off. That has been with the .08-.10 firmwares. I will see what happens with Digital High's overnight tonight.

My name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Stupid question, but in advanced, you have "keep WiFi on during sleep" to always?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
hmmmm, i do that too, thats never happened to me. wonder if we have minor variations in chipsets or something
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
There are no stupid questions, only the ones we forget to ask. I always check the cables first. [emoji4]

Yes, I have wifi on during sleep checked.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Verizon doesn't make money by withholding updates. If you the customer is on EDGE, they don't care what phone you get next as long as you get a phone and spend that money. Software updates don't drive device purchases, brand loyalty does, and maybe gimmicks. For most people. Verizon isn't slacking on updates because they want you to buy another phone, they're slacking because you already bought your phone. They have zero incentive to update it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fronc:
I've been reading this thread since post one, but where did the GPE dialer get introduced? For this ROM?

I do apologize for the wait though, just testing the long press volume to show ambient display is also not playing the way I want so that's also whats slowing me down.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
There is not, the .8 & .9 firmware are identical
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
That firmware shouldn't affect you're signal since it does not touch the radios. You will still have the normal 4.4.4 radios. Which are what affect you're signal. You're issue sounds more like a Sim card problem. Have you tried a new Sim card. I'm running my own version of [MENTION=5447216]aer0zer0[/MENTION] firmware. Only thing I changed was the main os number so I can I have the look of full firmware in bootloader. My signal has been perfect all over new England. I would really recommend you try a new Sim and see if you still have issues running the custom firmware.

It's crazy how everyone has different firmware experiences with the same phone. In this case, I am the same as [MENTION=410301]jbeitel[/MENTION] , but more than a few people have had great luck with the GPE firmware [MENTION=2687835]hgoldner[/MENTION]. However, those running GPE firmware should probably build their own hybrid. Use the touchscreen, rpm, and adsp from the .10, and the wcnss from the GPE. But on the same token, if your happy and you know it, leave it be

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

you might be able to have it both ways, build your own hybrid firmware. Take the touchscreen, rpm, adsp from GPE, and add the wcnss from .10, should give you best of both worlds....or try other combinations, you can always go back

Over nearly 5 years on Android I've seen the same thing with kernels, too. Variation from device to device. It's like there are ghosts inside the handset.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jbeitel:
Or at least gremlins
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfobrien:
In all my tweaking last few years I have never seen the same two devices run the same whether on stock or custom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
^This. Every time I see someone asking "what's the best kernel?" I just laugh.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I can understand why a new person to Android devices would think that two identical phones would work the same, but then I ask myself, they know about the 1 year refurb return you get from Verizon and the offers for insurance. Not just for physical damage but also for hardware. To me this clearly says not two phone are ever alike. Quality control I have found to be pretty decent. I had the m7 since day 1 and recently sold it without a scratch, and I just recently finally switched over to m8 fully when LP came. However as the m7 showed with the purple camera fiasco,no two are alike, I luckily never got that issue. For me I like stock kernel, stock ROM with just the mods I want baked into smali, much like mod pack but without option to change the mod in aroma or tweaks app, just the code for the mods used. If I knew java I would make a tweaks app but keep it very limited. Others like to mess with kernel settings and fine tune it to their preference. Just as each person is a human, no two are alike, I guess you can think of it like that that. Just as all these phones are identical no two are really the same.

This is especially tough for ROM devs having to sort out ROM issues from phone and or user error.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Andy I have been having some odd things happening. First off I"am on 2.0 flashed mod pack 10 and on the srom firmware.

Ok here goes last couple days what has been happening is when I reboot or power off then back on m8 verizon m8 shows the android is what is it either updating or upgrading I forget which but it does that and usually shows either 2 or 4 updates, then my m8 boots fine usually sometimes a bit slower but not drastically, then it does all the normal boot then updates my apps and its 9 every time and the same 9 apps.

Now I restored them from tb but the one I have uninstalled and reinstalled from the play store a couple times which is Jango which I did that because sometimes it would have connection issues going back and forth from wifi to mobile data and the opposite and I always put that app at the bottom left of my screen which is right above the recent apps button, then every reboot or restart the Jango app is removed from the bottom right corner of my screen.

Just curious if anyone else has experience this type of weird stuff going on ? Probably safe to say a htc issue on LP but if anyone has seen this happen please post your experience.

Overall I believe the srom firmware works best but I have not tried the dh one, only the ones posted on first page of this awesome rom yes awesome lol. The only thing that could make it better is the hk audio hope sprint gets their LP soon so we can add hk to our LP lol for a second there I almost typed hbk lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeK9samurai:
I had the same exact issue with the SROM firmware. I went to aer0zer0's firmware and the issue was non-existent. I also wiped the device when going to the new firmware.

By the way Andy, your rom is awesome. Funny how developers release updates faster than the providers...ehm Verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
I used to run AOKP on my tablet and phone, and I was also a frequent visitor/commentor on the Rootzwiki threads for the N7 and GNexus ROM's...and there were CONSTANT questions from people asking for the best kernels, or the best mix of the radios to use, etc. Not to mention gripes from other users about issues with the ROM, when they were also using non AOKP-stock kernels.

I sincerely don't know how you devs do it, day in day out, without breaking a lot of things. And I mean physically, with your fists, to work out the aggression without punching a person. :P Mad props dude. And this is coming from someone with over 15 years in the IT field, with a decent amount of time in desktop support roles, so I'm FULLY aware how stupid some end users can be. It just sucks that with Android, I lean more towards the end user side of things than the expert side. :P
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Very much appreciated. I do what I can to get by. My background as far as college is a business degree. Everything I know about anything to do with Android and the small amount that I do actually know, I honestly don't even refer to myself as a Dev. The real devs are the guys like Lyapota who can write code, and do something related to this work for his real life job. I'm trying to teach myself java but we'll see how well that goes, hopefully if that goes well I will be able to better understand the things I am missing in the smali code. I may not be very active other than just keeping things up to date, (stock ROM when ota comes) and keeping Lyapotas mod pack up to date, this will require more work when we get the official ota as I will be porting all his work into our Verizon applications.

Right now were on same international base (Lyapota uses) so I only have to add in my couple of changes. (app ops, lock button, 23 qs tiles) not too much.

For the next couple months though my main focus will be attempting learning java. Who knows how it'll go.

My goal is to make my own tweaks app based on java and only the snall amount of tweaks that I want. Keeping the simplicity that I enjoy.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I tried the aer0zer0 LP firmware and the same deal, so I tried the DH LP firmware same deal for it. I guess they are all doing it at least for me and I had done a full wipe before installing 2.0 including system and internal memory as I installed the rom zip from my sd card.

I guess I will go back to the SROM firmware as that was the one the wifi works the best on. Guess just need to wait for the LP update to fix this.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
Yes, I routinely use Softcard. I use "Hide My Root" (I got it from the Play Store) in Lollipop to get around the root check.

You can also use the MODs from that thread on that ROM, since it's a ported ROM.

Just like you can use Lyapota's MOD Pack on this ROM, same base.

Sprint ppl are lucky because they get to run all the LP ROMs with their fresh new firmware that should fix many issues those are seeing. Once we get our official firmware (which should be quite soon from my sources), you can run the official VZW ROM, the Sprint ROM, or I can continue porting Internaltional and or/ Sprint OTAs, ya never know -- they may run better, and porting them over is quite easy. It's porting the MOD Pack into the new applications is what takes the real amount of time.
