My only issue with the camera is the less than perfect lighting conditions. In daytime, the auto mode is nothing short of excellent. I have zero problems taking pictures on a sunny day outdoors, and that's great.

The issue comes in when you are indoors, in very good light or below, attempting to take a quick picture. It's almost impossible to get a decent blur free and in focus shot of anything with any detail.

Manual mode I find just destroys any detail in the pic and it ends up like an oil painting.

There's zero excuse when Samsung Note 4 and above can get excellent indoor shots with no editing or messing around required.

I love this phone, but I believe i'm at the point of selling it because the camera needs to be able to take at the very least, a shake free, in focus shot, even if, like say a Note 2, it's full of noise.
[One (M9) General] neo905:
Software would have gone a long way if they had it nailed before the reviewers got a hold of it. First impressions are now lasting ones. I get the feeling they didn't even change the algorithms they had for the previous M8 for this Toshiba sensor. Either way, the execution was bad and at this level execution is all that matters when you are trying to build a buzz in tech. They have little margin for error now going forward.
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
but are we not beating a dead horse now? you are offering your judgments on what HTC has done to their product, its behind now us, fair enough they took the punishment already, their sales are already taking a hit but its outside the scope now, the point is the camera, is it good? yes the sensor can amaze we have demonstrated it repeatedly which means HTC needs to fix it for current owner and people still considering the M9

instead of bashing them we need to demand them to fix it, mass bashing of the product can turn it into a total flop and in the end HTC might pull the plug, consider it a failure and not even provide a single update

holistically despite the issues, the M9 doesn't deserve to be led into total failure, its still shares the spot of the two best Android smartphones so far (in my opinion both the s6 and M9 has their issues and they divide the qualities)

in the same logic competitors should have fixed their laggy buggy UX by now considering HTC been whooping them for years but why is that the public is more remorseful when it comes to that? i much prefer a watery smooth enjoyable experience with incredible ergonomics for a phone i use over 4 hours of my day rather than a flawless but occasionally used camera
[One (M9) General] DeadPotato:
This was a complement of a comment posted above of mine, maybe you didn't get it cause you only read mine. The point is the sensor, the hardware is good to go, the problem is software by itself, which I agree needs a fix ASAP.

Besides I agree with [MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION] reviewers should be professionals and cover all of the aspects of a product, they're responsible of many people buying products or not after all
[One (M9) General] neo905:
This isn't bashing. This is reality. I already said I have confidence they will fix it over time in my original post today. What I am saying is it may be to late for the average consumer that doesn't have the patience or confidence they will fix it because they aren't as familiar with HTC at all. They can only go by what is in front of them. That is the reality. I know this horse has been beaten but that's a HTC problem to fix.
[One (M9) General] th3:
Realistic is that the real fans cried about the losses this will bring HTC... And read the financial news now.

Playing the reality down or excusing it is detrimental to change and to improvement.

In the tech world, Enthusiasts only account for less than 1% total sales, typically. Hence, something that works for the common man is what HTC needed. A la 'out of the box'.

The sad things you guys don't know is that this isn't a design or engineering f up, but management. Once again.

And those who yell why HTC isn't doing what you just discovered, is again, not the team's decision. It's management.

Why do people keep saying HTC will "fix it"? It isn't broken! Its just not the best camera phone on the market. Nor was the M7 and M8.

Nobody is saying they are going to turn it into the S6 camera. What is being said is there is room for improvement. Post processing and focus speed and over exposure in Auto mode for example.
[One (M9) General] cpufrost:
I have had the phone less than 24 hours.

I also had the M7 and M8 and while realizing the limits of a 4MP sensor did like the low light sensitivity.

This sensor is not great (sensitive) at low light obviously. The NR is way over the top, think Sony P&S from the early 2000s. We call it the oil painting effect. I wish there was a way to turn it off or adjust it so the excessive noise looks more natural say like film grain at 400ASA. Yeah that's where I come from, a medium format guy been doing this for 40+ years. ;)

Of course RAW is fine, airdroid them over to my Mac and open in Photoshop CS6. Which is what I do when I'm shooting from my other pro cameras.

But, but, but we all say the best camera is the one that's with you when life's things happen and a phone should be ready like a fire extinguisher. Just imagine if you had to go through a plethora of steps to use a fire extinguisher!

Anyways... soap box mode off. ;)

The camera as many would say is junk in low light. We basically know this. But go outside where you can use 100 ISO and decent shutter speeds and wow, you can really see the benefits of a 20MP sensor. Manual camera does not support this device fully but Camera FV5 lets you change more parameters and get better shots. They updated that app fairly recently and it's MUCH more responsive.

So yeah compared to the S6 (I have that one too), the S6 is definitely better for the indoor crowd, etc. But I would not write off the phone for the camera alone.

TBH the lack of wireless charging is the bigger issue. For me anyway. ;)

Boy are we spoiled though.

When I think of things like flash bulbs, developing slides, and dark room snafus like someone opening the door or accidentally opening the camera back before the film was wound back, etc. People today have it easy. :cowboy:

Wow, that's nice control.

Will take some getting use to the interface but turned off NR and it looks like what I expected.
[One (M9) General] andybg40:
You would like to think so wouldn't you!

In terms of the auto/manual argument, here's my two pennies worth.

I actually believe that only a very limited number (maybe 1%) of phone consumers use review sites to make purchasing decisions. The two biggest factors on what sell's is marketing and the dude in the shop the consumer deals with.

My local EE store has a guy that pushes Windows phone day in day out, because he is their rep for this. He is happy to sell Microsoft handsets, not because he believes they are right for the consumer, but because Microsoft fly him to the USA for 'training' and 'rewards' based trips 4 times a year, so why the hell wouldn't he want to sell Lumias! As a consumer, if you walk in the shop blind and bump in to this guy, you'll walk out with a Lumia, simple.

The other six sales reps only suggest Apple and Samsung as a viable option and for most, this is the only decision they have to make, as they know both brands well.

How many consumers have Samsung TV's? Millions! How many consumers have Samsung kitchen appliances in the home? Millions! How many people use iPods? Millions.

It's all about familiarity and brand trust/loyalty and the best way to achieve this is through marketing and putting your product on TV in millions of homes, day in day out. It also helps to have the biggest advertising display's when you walk in to a store (Samsung) or having your own stores even, a la Apple.

The average consumer, which is 99% of smartphone buyers, would not even know HTC exist, so the Auto or Manual mode is purely academic. TBH nobody gives a $h!T in the real world, that's the truth.
[One (M9) General] iElvis:
Sadly, I find this is often the case. I've run into too many people who think "Android" and "Galaxy" are synonymous, and when I tell them I have an HTC phone, they've never heard of them.

And most of the narrow subset of people who hang out on mobile review sites are just fanboys who want to argue with each other about why their phones are awesome and everything else sucks.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
So apparently, AT&T has not yet approved the 5.1 update, so I can't update my Nexus 6. However, someone mentioned the idea of doing a factory reset, removing the Sim, and rebooting. Does this method actually work?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Yes, reports have said that this will work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RW-1:
Sounds plausible, with the device on wifi and no SIM.

But, that said, where did you get it? If an ATT N6, wouldn't it still not be given the OTA by Google because of the ATT IMEI?

You could just flash the image as well I suppose....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Google's not looking at IMEI for OTAs. Only at SIM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toledodj:
I actually tried the sim removal method. Didn't work, for me at least. I bought the phone from the AT&T store
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psdwizard:
I can confirm this works on an at&t purchased phone. I removed my Sim card did a factory wipe and set it up. Don't put in the Sim card back in till it asked if you want to update.

[Moto 360] funkpod:
Okay, this weekend, on a Friday, I drove to DC. As soon as navigation started on my Nexus 6, my watch started to display the navigation notifications. I quickly blocked the app, as I didn't want the 3+ hours of navigation to drain my watch.

2.5 hours into the trip, I look at my watch's battery, and it's down to 30%!!! I started the trip at about 90%. Not happy, very scared about running out of power. Figure out it's a bug, or whatever, and I factory reset that night.

During the weekend, while I'm in DC, I notice that it is not the normal battery life, despite a factory reset Friday night.

On the way home, Sunday, I noticed a huge drain as well. Not wanting to lose any more power, I turn it on AIRPLANE MODE when at 47%.

HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.

I get a notification that says something like "Maps Navigation App stopped." I don't remember the exact phrasing.

However, this leads me to believe that I was experiencing the battery drain because while I was blocking the Maps app, it was still running on my watch! What's up with that? I thought it totally stopped the app.

Am I correct? Does a blocked app still run while the watch despite being blocked?

IF so... how do I "fix" this? Is that possible?

Or, was something else draining my battery?
[Moto 360] funkpod:
Okay, from another thread I was discussing on Android Central, another user found that Maps and probably other apps weren't totally OFF when the Notification was set to be BLOCKED. Meaning, even though you are Blocking a certain app, it appears that it is still running in the background of the watch, and that is leading to huge drains.

Anybody take any road trips or commuting with their moto360 and using Google Maps notice this?

[Moto 360] The Horak:
I have this exact same issue. I use navigation a few days a week. I'm a new Moto 360 owner, so I thought it was just other battery issues. But it isn't. Its Navigation. Once I start navigation, by battery plummets. I can't stop it. Then the battery usage says that Bluetooth uses the most battery. So I am gonna keep trying different things. Don't factory reset your phone. It doesn't help. Resetting the watch doesn't help either. I think its an issue with Android 5.0.2. But that's a guess. What else can it be?
[Moto 360] funkpod:
THanks for your input, sorry I never replied. I didn't see the notifications.

ANYWAYS, I started a thread here as well...

http://forums.androidcentral.com/mo...cking-apps-not-battery-drain-google-maps.html

It seems it is NOT just a Moto 360 problem, but an ANDROID WEAR problem!?

WHOA. Can anyone else confirm this? If so, if this is an Android Wear problem... does Google know? And how do we let them know?
[Moto 360] frellingfrakker:
I have this issue. I drove 3 hours with Google maps navigation today and my watch was dead upon arrival. It was at 95% when I left.
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:
Mine also died again after three hours of driving yesterday, and this is with the latest Android Wear update (on the phone). When I tried to charge it, I got constant Google app and Android Wear crashes. I was finally able to reset the watch to get it back to working.
[Moto 360] frellingfrakker:
Mine charged back up without an issue but Maps definitely kills the watch even with notifications blocked.
[Moto 360] funkpod:
Thanks everybody. Send in a bug report through the Android wear app.

Does anybody have they latest update on their watch? 5.1.1?
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:
Mine has charged up normally before too, in fact it did last night. The one time it didn't was pretty scary though.

I'd like to know if this is fixed in 5.1.1 too. I'll ask in the Urbane section.
[Moto 360] funkpod:
YES, definitely do that, thank you!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Mike Boogie:
My wife cracked the screen on her M8 a week or so ago and I contacted HTC for an advanced exchange. The loaner phone arrived with no issues and I was able to restore MOST of her data to the loaner. But here's the problem, the phone started to vibrate at all times. I'm not just talking about excessive haptic feedback, I'm talking full blown full on vibrate in all states. ON/OFF, Bootloader, Recovery, doesn't matter, constant vibe until the battery is dead.

I've called support and they requested that I do a factory reset. I don't think that would help plus I have no other phone to back my data up to since her device has been shipped to HTC for repair. I've searched a few threads but everything is coming up Milhouse.

Any help would be appreciated...

Please help and suggest what should I do...

Please note that I have managed to get the root from ioroot method.

If d800 change it in build.prop model, so less the brick risk.
