I have the same situation with the Flex 2. It's the qualcom 810 chip. When Lollipop 5.1 comes out, it should be fixed. It's take two days for the software to settle and phone is finally fast and a lot less lag.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
Dont see any of the issues minus a weaker data pull. Battery life is much better for me. Sounds like people just wanna *****...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
I'm starting to agree with OP. I keep hoping for another OTA update.

I could not make a call from work. It's often weak 3G at work, but it's been stable enough on prior phones.

So I switch WIFI Calling On (can't leave WIFI Calling on because it won't automatically reconnect).

Phone rebooted.

It may be Hardware/Software/Sprint what ever, it's just not doing well at all.

My hunch is, that it has extreme power management going on to keep the battery from getting too hot.

It's constantly wanting to throttle back on signal strength (which how they save power) but loses the signal. It happens in various forms on Data/Voice 3G and LTE and WIFI.

What a bunch of whiners, it's a great phone. I upgraded from the Me and I'm completely satisfied. I'f you don't like it then do something about it besides complaining on XDA.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] P_M_G:
I love this sucker aside from the radio issues that I'm hoping are addressed soon. Coming from an M7. I don't see the whining about the screen - I love it. Love the speakers with Dolby theatre mode sound great. no heat issues other than maybe a bit when I was crushing it moving all my photos and backups to the extSD that I love having now (STBU S6 buyers)....haven't messed with the camera but for pete's sake it's for posting on FB and social media so I don't expect it to be DSLR quality and anything is better than that crap 4UP M7 camera.

In other words - no, it's not junk. It's flawed (like any other phone) and most flaws can/will likely be addressed making it even better.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] graycorgi:
Got my M9 today to replace my defective S6 Edge. The device actually seems faster than the S6 Edge even though the benchmarks say otherwise. TouchWiz is still slow I guess. No microstutters on the M9 like I was seeing on the S6 Edge. Also, the auto rotate actually works on the M9, which is a plus.

First thing I did was update it and factory reset it. I've been playing with it since and it seems to be working just as well as my M8, on data and on wifi. The camera is better than the M8 but not as good as the S6 Edge (although, at least I am not stuck using the camera upside down...) It is not "junk" by any means.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] sgt. slaughter:
Updates will come... Think everyone knows that.... No need to hope for it lol ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Crawshayi:
The M9 is not a bad phone by any means, but I wouldn't consider it an upgrade to the M8 yet. Now, I know that we'll get updates, new Android, etc etc but HTC was in a position to cut into Samsung's market share and they dropped the ball yet again. The S6 for the most part was a huge improvement over the S5 and it shows. Most of the people on these boards are not the average consumer, but it's the average consumer that will give HTC enough money to keep making awesome phones, and if they keep going this way HTC won't be around too much longer. What the phone should have come with is wireless charging, quad HD display, and a GOOD camera. That would make it much more appealing to the Samsung/iPhone crowd. Don't get me wrong though, I still love my HTC. I just feel like I bought the same phone twice...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] graycorgi:
The average consumer doesn't really care about wireless charging, and the screen resolution is debatable. Good camera is probably the main thing HTC missed here.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] c5satellite2:
Cpu throttling and radio power level are 2 seperate functions.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
Correct. But they are both part of power management schemes.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] -Apollo-:
The M9 is not junk by any means...but my M8 was better and I felt like I got a downgrade, not an upgrade. It's beautiful, sounds great, but I was so disappointed with the display in comparison to M8. My wife still has M8 H/K and on the second day with the M9 I compared videos side by side I was upset to say the least. If I turn on power saver mode on M8, the color is pretty much identical to the M9. I'm sure an update will come for that issue though. I didn't want to wait though and couldn't go back to my M8 because I sold it back to Sprint and got that Onyx H/K speaker, but I wanted an upgrade. I'm gonna get flamed here....I went to the dark side after 2 days with that M9 and got the S6 edge! Yeah, I know it's got that cheesewiz on it, but that display is incredible! Battery sucks arse for sure, and I miss Sense big time, and this XDA community, but I'm pretty happy with the device. I've had every HTC flagship starting with the Hero, I love HTC phones, but I'm gonna sit out this time and I'm sure I will be back for the M10 or whatever they call it. So in short, if you're new to the M series you're gonna love the M9. If upgrading from M8, you may like it or like me, you might feel a little short-changed.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] barleysoda:
You can get a lot of sense 7 on your S6 with this

I think they even got themes working. I was running it on my old LG G2 and it was pretty cool having Blinkfeed on it. Worked really well.

I have a one year lease on my M9. I figure if HTC survives this year then next years phone should be something special. I am sure the M9 reviews killed the whole One series all together next years phone wont even be an M10.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] -Apollo-:
You know, you are probably spot on about killing off the whole One series...whatever it is I'm sure will be awesome. Hey, thanks for the link, hopefully it does the trick...no Blinkfeed really sucks lol. Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
The reviews are good... I don't know where you follow but the only negative is don't fix what ain't broken. In fact that is usually the tag line...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
When M8 came out a few of us had similar issues that's going on now (but worse if you had the problem). I ended up bailing and went with S5. Lots of nice things but the bad things drove me insane. Only MTP access to SD Card, Bluetooth had issues, Samsung Browser was terrible (has to use Opera Mobile BETA), no blinkfeed, Samsung TouchWiz is terrible. Tried the HTC hack for non HTC phones (it had major issues, at that time anyway). Its impossible to hide that it's been rooted from sprint tech. Ended up going back to M8, with no regrets.

Now M9 has some issues. But if you google around S6 has the same network issues as M9. Not sure about the edge. The edge screen is very nice, but not worth all the other drawbacks. And they deleted external SD card to boot.

What pisses me off is the original M8 issue turned out to be bogus provisioning. And that's what the M9 smells like too.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] -Apollo-:
No network issues...just the battery sucks and of course TouchWiz. Speaking of network...I found a nice little EPST hack for these S6 devices to unlock native hotspot WITHOUT root, just need MSL. That was always one of the reasons I would root my phones. Anyways, didn't mean to get off topic of the thread.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] m03sizlak:
The hits just keep on coming. I now find out that the phone is completely incapable of roaming to Canada. A place I travel to frequently and rely on my phone working there....

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
Many phones dont work in Canada. Not many recent ones but please let's stop exaggerating things. This phone kills infants its junk... Seriously... Reviews are positive. People are way too dramatic these days... First world problems.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] chas123:
This is spot on. I haven't had any problems with my M9 since Sprint tech supported reprovisioned my phone. I read all the #'s- imei, sim card, etc., and they entered them manually. My only gripes at this point are that they removed the barometer, and there doesn't appear to be a way to write a prl or edit the accolc.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Bradh024:
Damn, after a week of *****ing to Sprint about my m8, they're sending me a m9. I was happy until I read this thread and got to looking at the reviews, lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] atroph:
IMO the reviews never gave this phone a chance. I don't really see what the big deal is. It must be that I am coming from the M7. I get great photos and the phone responsiveness is superb. No lag, no over heating, great sound, and solid connectivity. Is it an upgrade from the M8? I can't say, but I feel it is definitely worth retiring the M7. I think this device is great. Even with the stock software unrooted.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
Most people who have an issue post most who don't never complain. Do the math. Most are also overly dramatic. There's problems with things people deem perfect. I have no issues on my phone. Meanwhile my girlfriend as an s6 and gets force closes non stop...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
And is your girlfriend posting on problems with the S6, I bet not.

Tons of folks have issues that don't take time to post.

At this point, until things are fixed, I'd rather have two M8's than an M8 and M9 in the family.

Biggest issue is dropped calls while driving. Rarely happens on a properly working phone.

M9 it happens a few times a day.

Since I have both I can see the performance difference regularly.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
So, will HTC/sprint fix this do you think? I'm fine with issues now if they get resolved, but so may people b*tch about stuff they know nothing about... I trust your opinion/judgment/ knowledge mswlogo.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
This phone is "different" as was the M8 vs M7. M8 was the first Spark model. It behaves quite different than the M7.

M9 is also different (as is Samsung S6). It is somehow tied to changes Sprint is doing on it's Network.

Like I said in another post it's like this phone is on a different carrier than the M8. They behave different more often than not.

How long to resolve, how much is in the phone firmware vs Sprint network, I'm not sure.

Meanwhile it definitely feels a step backwards from M8. In my calling areas (MA and NH) any way.

M9 is just terrible at handing off tower to tower (for data or voice).

Battery seems ok.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] deakelem:
Thats strange regarding your dropped calls.. see now my m9 has huge data issues no doubt about that where as the m8 works perfectly but.. my m8 would not put calls through a lot of times.. I have yet to have a call not come through with my m9 even with the crap radio firmware. Thats the only good thing i noticed (network wise) about the two. Obviously this all depends greatly on your area.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

the m7 was always rather reliable on the network because it wasnt a single radio phone of course it had poor lte coverage because of the lack of b26 but calls and data reliablitly was great compared to my next phone the N5 which was sprints first single radio triband phone.. had very bad call problems for a while with that phone. Next the m8.. call relaibility improved over the n5 and so did data but calls would fail to come through about 5% of the time. Moving on to the m9.. well the data issues are no secret but call reliability has been the best so far, equal to the m7.

Just give sprint a little time they will sort it all out. Anyone who owned a new triband phone right when it came out can attest to this.. they will work it out eventually.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Bradh024:
From every thing I've seen about it so far, without actually having it, it's the same thing as a M8 with a sense 7 rom on it.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] volk9029:
I got the m8 right when it came out. M8 used to have similar problems with the signal as the m9. A few months after the release, sprint released update to the radios and it was fine after that. Hopefully sprint will release an update soon and will go back to normal. Have patience guys. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] agentfusion:
It's funny, running bad boyz with elementalX kernel, I literally have none of the problems in this thread. Sure, the m9 battery life could be better... But I'm spoiled by my last phone being the G2. That thing, with the right kernel and rom, would last me three days on a full charge. So going back to "normal" battery life (the m9 is comparable to my SGS, SGS3, and HTC Holiday) is kind of a drag.

I wonder, though, if my m9 is different? In all the guides, vol - and power is supposed to take you to the white screen where you can pick recovery or download mode, whereas mine boots to the black download mode screen immediately. Could that be a sign that I got one of the newer m9 devices that are supposed to have the 810 revision that fixes the heat and battery life issues?

My phone doesn't break 40°C unless I'm in TWRP, with the phone plugged in, doing a nandroid backup at full brightness. Any other time, the aluminum casing does an excellent job as a heatsink and my phone doesn't get even warm during 3 hours of hearthstone.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
You might what is the processor revision? I don't have it where it automatically goes to download mode, and I dont have any battery issues or heat issues.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] the drugstore:
Okay call me stupid, someone a few pages back posted about a barometer with this phone. Where is it on this phone and how to use it?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] agentfusion:
Cpu-Z shows it as r0p2
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
Same revision here.

Edit: I just checked again and it shows r1p1
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
Vol - and Power on my M9 takes you to a black screen saying download mode. I got mine on the first day.

Battery is ok. Roaming sucks though, often 1x or no data when roaming (while voice is fine). And on switching towers it will often, but not always, drop a call.

Probably more of a Sprint Network issue than anything. M8 isn't doing much better these days.

If Sprint doesn't clean up by next round of phones I'm gonna look at TMobile, Verizon or AT&T. I used to salvage Sprint performance with Corporate PRL and HotSpot hack.

But it's getting harder and harder to do and now they seem to be cutting back on who they allow roaming data with.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] agentfusion:
I guess I'm lucky to be in the D.C. Market area. LTE literally everywhere I go. I've never even seen what the 3G icon looks like, nor roaming. I built a little device (that I've since sold) where I bought a prepaid phone from every carrier, the cheapest they had, and gutted them all and fit the internals into a single box where all that was exposed of each LCD is the signal meter. I put a label over each one for which carrier it was, charged up all the batteries (too lazy to bread board up a voltage regulation system to put them all on a single power source) and went about my daily life for two weeks. What I did was note the signal of each carrier in the places I spent the majority of my time, and at the end of two weeks, Sprint was a very consistent winner over the others. AT&T had poor signal penetration indoors, as did T-Mobile, and Verizon occasionally beat Sprint, but their prices and them being notoriously unfriendly to developers made my choice easy.

I figured, prepaid phones on most carriers have crap coverage compared to postpaid, so if I get really good coverage on a prepaid phone in the places I go most often, the contract coverage would be even better. So far, Sprint has not disappointed me at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] barleysoda:
Had the same thing happen with CPU-Z. Started out as r0p2 and then after playing around with settings and looking at other screens I came back to the "SOC" tab and now it says r1p1.:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
I checked again and its back to r0p2, go figure. CPU-Z can't make up its mind.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
It's way more complex than your experiment tells you.

First you can have great signal and low through put or low signal and great throughput.

Also you are only looking at one signal (now LTE Data on Sprint) and not looking at all signals involved with a good user experience.

Some carriers do more with one band than another, like Verizon does VoLTE (voice over LTE). Sprint currently does not.

I'd say 3/4 of time I have no LTE. I'm sure if I was in an all LTE area my experience would be much better.

My wifes M8 recently started royally started screwing up and I did a Hand Free activation and now it's running much better.

Might do the same. I had been doing update Profile/PRL which helped some but I have not done another Hands Free activation.

What drives me the craziest is dropped called on my commute which the M8, M7 never had any issue with but the M9 does all the time.

There are published documents that give you all the data (Voice, Data, Dropped calls etc.) for every carrier in every region.

It was done by some big consumer survey companies. I can't think of the name.

It depended where you were who was best. Verizon is top dog around here (and many regions). I have not looked at the reports lately.

I love HTC and I love the M-series, however I opted for the S6 because the M9 is basically an M8 with a few cosmetic upgrades. Anyone who purchased a new M9 is in good company, but I have a history with HTC and I yearn for something new.

It's also good that we have such awesome moderators to keep these threads clean and helpful. Thank you guys for all your hard work.

I just picked up my M9 yesterday. No complaints so far. It's pretty damn fast, Spark is WONDERFUL, and now I have a SD Card slot again.

Started off with a OG Evo, then the Evo 3D, to the M7 and now this M9.

I like that it's still a "small", big phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] hominine:
Agreed.. the size is fantastic, it fits comfortably in my hand and still has plenty of screen real estate. I was going to put off upgrading my phone until next year as my S4 did everything needed well enough and had proven very reliable/modifiable but when this dropped to $99 I decided to pull the trigger and am really glad that I did. It's a nice piece of hardware that has everything I wanted and the BB ROM is proving to be very quality. If the price point sticks around for a while I've no doubt we'll see more activity in the forums, but either way I'm very happy with this phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] centro714:
I've had this phone for few days now and absolutely love it!! Especially when it's free... Yes I'm a late adopter.

Battery is best I've experience, but I am on the saver mode (going on almost 2 days). Ui is smooth and things work. Camera is not nearly as bad as I've read.

There are very minor issues but I haven't found a perfect phone yet. This one actually comes close.

Finally had it with Sprint and the sub par pics on my m9. I've jumped to T-Mobile and dont think im going to look back. Just wanted to say thanks for all the development on this phone that was done.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimorghDroid:
Hello all,

I have a Galaxy S4, Rogers rooted 4.2.2 running stock rom. I used Clean Master to only delete my 'Junk Files', which I have had used before with no complications but last week when I did the same procedure, I realized after reboot applications like Tasker, SwipePad, XPrivacy, Greenify, Twilight (flux) and bunch of other apps won't start at start up anymore. Interesting though, LeanDroid and Internet Speed Meter do start automatically at start up.

I have to manually start Tasker and SwipePad and others, every time I reboot my phone. Is there something I can do?

Would appreciate any help.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Doesn't Clean Master have an autostartup blocking feature?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimorghDroid:
I uninstalled Celan Master. I will install it and see if I find that feature.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimorghDroid:
Under 'Notification settings' in Celan Master, there is an option called 'Frequent restart reminder' on/off, and 'Autostart notification' on/off, but nothing that blocks autostartup.

Reinstall the apps that do not autostart. This should do the trick.

Use titanium backup to do a backup. Reinstall the app and then restore the data. Hopefully it will not restore the autostart issue :)

This is something I'd be incredibly interested in. I've got a gold S6 Edge preordered; in part because the M9 is uninspiring, partly because I'm not at at all a fan of Sense 7. Having cyanogenmod on this device might be a game changer for me.
