Hi,

JUST FOR DEVELOPER EDITION

Just to inform you guys, If your battery is ending faster than normal, download and run the RUU on you device. It will be back to normal.

Site: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html

Lastest RUU: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_2.exe

Also, there is no need to relock your device to run the RUU (at least here was not needed)
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
How did you get to that conclusion ? I think it's more a user/installed app problem. Something drains the battery obviously but it's more often some rogue app hiding somewhere.

The ruu ends all of that indeed because it's flashing the phone to factory stock and with that deletes ALL apps present on the phone, so this method is very easy to suggest. If the RUU doesn't fix it it's more likely that you have a faulty battery.

If you suffer battery drains i suggest to install a battery/system status app that can detect the problem.

Also i don't think this is a very common problem at least not only for the dev edition. If it was the Q&A section would be filled with threads like "why does my dev edition with android L drain so much battery"

This is like the holy grail of answers to issues on the phone.

- My phone doesn't boot : run the ruu

- My phone has no data : run the ruu

- WiFi doesn't work : run the ruu

I think a ruu as a solution is kinda short through the curb if you know what i mean......

Edit :

As additional information :

A ruu runs only on a s-on device with a locked/relocked bootloader

Or

On a s-off device.....doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked/relocked or unlocked

Cheers :)
[One (M8) General] zopostyle:
I came to that conclusion with my phone, I used it for 5 months, so I knew that the battery takes 2 days to reach 1%. After the update it started to reach 1% in 30h.

So I used the ruu, installed and set up everything again, so the phone and applications "behave" the same way... And after 1 week using, I confirmed that was something wrong... And it's back 2 days using...
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Glad it worked for you, but i seriously doubt the ruu as a fix. I wonder what BBM could tell you at that point, i think a lot .....

;)
[One (M8) General] zopostyle:
I agree with you, for sure that is the apps... But as I don't know how to discover which one and whatever else is causing this..ruu is a solution..
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Yes the ruu is a sort of solution, but you can post this for every phone on every carrier and in every country over the world.

And people have to set up their phone up again from scratch and that can be a big problem.

Maybe uninstalling just 1 app could lead to the same result. That's why i said earlier that the ruu is not definitely the fix. Check some battery stats apps and see what's eating your battery, check wakelocks and such. Then it's pretty easy to locate the problem.

What i ment to say in general here is that a ruu as a fix is too easy, then it would make the Q&A a lot smaller. As anyone who came across rom issues would just run the ruu and be done.

And don't get me wrong i didn't write this to make you look like some non knowledgeable guy....just discussing different options/opinions

:)
[One (M8) General] zopostyle:
Yeah! That's the idea of a forum right ? lol
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
both very relevant solutions

1 is easier but wipes user data

2, conserves user data but takes a bit more concentration in killing those naughty apps :good:

as it is there's two ways to convert to dev, My (long winded now RUUS are out) step by step or the other thread is a RUU solution.

This is why i love these forums as pooling together and discussions like this give people choice and benefit the community :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pomeon:
Hello!

[I own a Samsung S3 mini which runs on a custom ROM (CM11). ]

I have a problem when sliding/scrolling through images in Google in my browser.

I'll try to explain the problem the best I can (in the best English I know... xD).

For example:

I go to www.google.com (with stock browser from CM11), search for "car" and select 'Images'. My browsers then shows serveral pictures of cars. When I open one of these pictures and 'slide' to right (or left) to show the next picture, the browser starts showing misplaced, blocky pictures during the transition from the first picture to second picture.

I'll try to attach screenshots to make my problem more clear.

The 'blocky parts' during the transition sometimes are parts from the previous or next picture, but in some cases the parts are from a tab I already closed in the browser...

As seen on one of the screenshots, flaws are also present at the top and bottom of the screen.

Does anyone know what causes this?

Can I solve this?

UPDATE [MORE SCREENSHOTS]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsero:
Hi,

can't reproduce entering the sliding mode in google images, maybe because I'm redirected to the German edition. However there's something similar I'm experiencing in the Amazon app since I've got CM. There's an upper part of the screen with a slideshow ofsome advertisements, sometimes those are shown garbled. See picture attached....

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Kosenjobi:
Hello xda! Thank you for all you guys have provided over the years. Hopefully I can get some help for my issue. I'll tell as much as I can before my phone reboots. Again.

Recently, as I was landing in Japan, I put my phone in airplane mode. Instantly, Google processes began stopping and multiple others.

Every time I restarted I had multiple failures, and multiple reboots. A factory reset did nothing for the issue, and the repair assistant put my phone in a state where the I don't get any setup after a factory reset. After each restart, my phone returns to its previous state. Is there anything I can try?

*Not sure if I should add that I'm back in the U.S.

T.I.A!

Run this S-on RUU: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845

Choose the same Android version you have installed now or a higher one. You cannot downgrade when you're S-on. That should give you fresh start.

If you don't have fastboot/adb installed on your PC follow the instructions in option 1 and download the .exe
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Kosenjobi:
I ran the ruu.exe to the end. It said "Congratulations, your firmware is updated." Unfortunately, it was the same after I restarted. I also tried factory reset again, but no dice.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] grinch1:
I do not know how many of us have this problem, but I think many: when the phone charges using the original charger or when plugged into the USB port of a computer the screen will become very unresponsive, it will happen on JB, ICS and I think on GB too. I have had this problem for a long time now but I never figured out what was going on, like other people I thought it was a software bug or something, anyway the problem is extremely annoying.

The bad news is that the problem has no easy fix, it's not a software glitch, it's not a problem that can be fixed with another ROM or something, it's a hardware problem, a design flaw, Sony is to blame, they probably know about it, but didn't even try to fix it.

The good news is, is that the problem can be fixed by using another charger, but not any charger! You will need an 1 AMP charger and all will be fine. The problem is the intensity of the current that is used to charge the phone, you would think that a high intensity would be bad, but in this case it's good, strangely the screen behaves correctly at 1 AMP, but does not at 850mA (original charger) or 500mA(USB port).

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
Before buying a Nexus 9 online, especially outside the US, you should have the shop check what revision of the device they ship. The serial numbers are on the box.

Thanks to simmac for his research:

The four major quality improvements are:

- fixed speaker issues (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/DbvPiXcyhi4/iSRH5W3QxzcJ)

- less backlight bleed

- more prominent buttons

- more rigid back plate (the tape has been redisributed it seems)

I have the first generation HT4A. It has three issues. The backlight is very strong along the top edge. Pretty annoying because in lollipop all the damn status bars are colored.

If i had a black one it would be barely noticeable, but as is, its very visible and annoying. Especially for a tablet i plan to use primarily in portrait mode. Its only saving grace is that its even across the entire edge. Some frelling reassurance that is. We have a solution:

On the left is the affected top edge, on the right the bottom:

Serial Number:

HT4A* = October 2014

HT4B* = November 2014

HT4C* = December 2014

HT51* = January 2015
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dunka:
Picked mine up at my local Best Buy last Saturday and its the HT4C*. Buttons are good, no flex in the back cover and I have the slightest light bleed in the upper left hand corner. Have to look for it to actually see it, so it looks like they fixed the production issues with the later devices.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Well mine is from October and no light bleed issue here. Or button issue.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It's just a rumour that there have been revisions to the design. I don't believe there have been any changes. I also have one from Oct with no issues
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
Thank you, i hope you wont mind me putting this in the op. Should prove useful to many.

Unfortunately mine is a HT4A. One edge of the screen, annoyingly the top, has strong bleed. Its evenly distributed but immediately visible.

By lightly pressing the back of the tablet as i hold it i can see the lcd react to the pressure.

The buttons are also not tactile enough.

At the tech market i couldnt find another to compare with. This is a cautionary tale. Unfortunately i didnt find any other revisions at my moscow tech market. But anyone interested should really look around for a new revision. Especially outside the states.

As you can see, the backlight is very strong along the top edge. Not impressed.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
Its no rumor bud. You dont make (now 5) revisions to a device in 4 months when theres nothing wrong with the original...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
What revisions are you talking about? The serial number changes? Show me where that's been revisions to the design.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
Im not entirely certain what you want me to do... the revisions (of which there are now 5, a new one is now also confirmed, search the forums) all deal with various issues mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

No need for agro man, im just saying:

[IMG="N9 button revisions"]http://cdn04.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/nexus2cee_AGCXsZf_thumb.jpg[/IMG]

I myself have seen a HT4C and it has much better buttons and zero light bleed. Also at the tech market i found HT4As and a HT4B, all of which had the light bleed and super-flush buttons. I went to the market on purpose instead of ordering online so i could check.

Oh and just in case youre averse to searching, heres a simple google search for you: https://www.google.ru/search?source...ions&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2j69i61.4442j0j7
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
If you dont use a case... for me the buttons are hard to reach... see screen in previous post.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Here's my HT4A buttons...definitely don't look like your first pic. They look more like your second one, the HT4C one.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
Interesting! This would mean that the revisions are perhaps to the machine tools, source materials or quality control :P

Of the three HT4As i saw at the tech market all had buttons like mine. I saw three white ones. Got a black one myself just because it had the most even light bleed.

Maybe theyre all just a primary batch...

I dont really want to open mine because of the apparent whoopsy with the camera coming off its attachment to the back of the mobo:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kezzainc:
I have a HT51 in white and its a complete minter. Im quite fussy and there it nothing wrong with this tablet at all. Zero light bleed, no weird flex on the back and nothing wrong with buttons.

Nice to see HTC doing what they do best now... Make premium devices. I love this tablet screw the reviews. I have tf700 Asus and please not to have metal back on this one. I think Google and HTC have done a great job with it ....and I'm not new round these hoods.

Only thing... It does get hot. I'm okay with that though as its only when smashing it with some big games. Plus I kinda like that smell haha

Ohh and the OS kills Chrome the sec it can. Roms will sort it I'm sure but makes me not like switching apps even though bit of ram free. Also standard DPI sucks as normal, must change feature. If not sure at first stick with it for a bit and change font up a level. You won't go back.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Mine is an HT4B (Novemeber). No light bleed, volume buttons are fine.

They couldn't have possibly made design and production changes to devices manufactured in November, when the device was released on 11/3. That just seems unlikely, although I guess it could've happened...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:
Of course they could because the production chain doesnt start with the manufacturing date...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
mine's the same. good buttons, but that thin sliver of light at the top. doesn't really affect me much though since i keep it at 0% or lower most of the time.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankBullitt:
You keep insisting on the "revision" stuff. There is no such thing. The H4* stuff is the serial number. And every single one is different from the other. The way HTC creates the serial number takes in account the day and month of manufacturing, hence the H4A, etc etc (it0's hexa). Those are not revisions. people are telling you that since the start of the thread but you keep insisting...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diaphragma:
No revisions. Some are just built better than the others, and some worse.

I've got a n9 from October 17 with no light bleed. Buttons and back could be better. The n9 I had before this one was built in november and was worse on all fronts.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
What I meant, was that since my "revision" (which is probably nonsense in the first place) was manufactured around the release date, it is unlikely that they had enough user feedback to make major production changes. Not saying impossible, just seems improbable.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saasfaan123:
guys got my new n9

Guyscgot my new n9 with ht4c serial number but

I have a light bleed on the top right as others said but

Plz can anyone say about the side buttons. Attaching few pix of

The side buttons. Please have a look whether its alright or

should I get it exchanged.

Thanks
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Are the buttons usable? They will be close to flush but should be usable.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saasfaan123:
Yeah the buttons are usable..not a problem...if I think that this is faulty in my mind then only I get the feeling that these buttons are faulty...otherwise they are like normal....

And the light bleed is visible only when a dark screen comes while watching. Video or a dark pic.. Otherwise its fine...

Do you want me to replace it or continue using it
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It sounds fine to me. Only you can determine if you want to replace it or not. I think threads like this are terrible because it causes people to think they have a defective device when in fact it's perfectly fine.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .vermilion:
For me and what I was reading so far it's just a matter of luck of getting a good or a bad device.

My Nexus 9 is HT4A - the back is perfect and is not flexible at all. Light bleed is at a minimum, only in the bottom left side and on top right there is a little bit of bleeding. Nothing to worry about, I only notice it when booting the device or when charging it if it's turned off. In regular use my brightness is at 0 % so I don't see any light bleeding.

The power button is tactile, the volume down button as well. Only the volume up button could be more tactile, but it's still okay so RMAing eventually would leads to a worse device.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
Those buttons look real good to me. How are they when you press them?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saasfaan123:
Actually I dint feel any problem....But after seeing others reviews I got this mental thing that if these buttons are IN the device is fau!ty. But seriously I'm not facing any problems while pressing them. But there's some light amount of light bleed on the top right corner.

Guys any idea on SMS and dialler keypad for knowing prepaid data credit ??
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootcid:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TenderloinShadow:
Mine is an HT4A from October, and I've always felt that people complaining about the Light Bleed and back panel sag are blowing it out of proportion. The only time I ever notice the light bleed is during the boot up process, and the back panel has 0 sag unless I'm deliberately pressing on it. I literally have to press all over the back to TRY and find the spot where it sags, that's how barely noticeable it is.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nklenchik:
I worked at Best Buy as a temp during the fall/winter and got mine there a week ago. Buttons seem fine, at least better than the one they had on display. The backlight is pretty minimal and the back doesn't flex.
