Ruu back to stock, your problem isn't normal. Then re do everything.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ngr2001:
So I logged into my Verizon site and disabled VoLTE which was enabled for my phone. Waited 15 mins rebooted phone. This brought me back to original screen where you can then enable VoLTE and it gives you the 2nd confirmation screen that you will get no new charges. Enables, no errors. Wait 15 mins reboot 37 times like other person said but not VoLTE features.

I am going to play dumb and call Verizon and try to make them fix / activate this feature over the phone and see where that goes.

Anyone, Bluetooth does it work well for anyone so frustrated with that.

Ring tone was just a joke.

How do you power off the phone without crashing it though. Haven't figured that one out yet.

Rom is great I will probably donate once I test a few more.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
Actually when I was having weird issues it was because of my stupidity, I flashed the firmware with the regular ADB instead of the HTC version. Most things still work but I had weird issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I never had to call, personally.

I activated it online, and then went through the steps when I received the M9.

Results may vary.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
I knew nothing about online activation but when I called it only took her a few seconds to activate.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
at http://www.verizonwireless.com/ - MyVerizon, or the MyVerizon app you can add the feature very easily.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
I enabled it in phone which I believe is recommended.

As my OP outlines however, there is a risk of permanent VoLTE loss that can be attributed simply by gaining S=OFF, root, or flashing custom firmware. I made sure to put it in nice bright red text in the OP because it's apparently a problem across all M9's unlocked. If you've flashed custom firmware on your M9 and still have VoLTE, chances are you're not going to lose it.

Unfortunately, you'll only know it's gone forever if it doesn't work after a RUU and then factory reset from hboot. At least, that is my understanding of the whole situation.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ngr2001:
Not a big deal to me I understand the risk. Just so odd that the feature can become permanently gone. This would mean they were actively blocking you IMEI or something to that nature even if it fails to work after brought back to stock. I mean its only software on our end. I actually just called VZW and played dumb. Got to field tech level 2 support and he could not get VoLTE working for my phone. They are escalating my case to the engineering team or something. So will be interesting to see what happens. For me the custom rom benefits outwiegh the loss of VoLTE.

Serious Question Though,

Power Off, is that supposed to work. My phone bricks and requires a hard power off and reboot to fix. Airplane Mode is labeled as Power Off but sometimes I just want to kill the power to my phone. How does one do that without rebooting holding up arrow going to boot-loader and then choosing power off.

Bluetooth update:

Stock audio streaming horrible. 1-3 .3s skips per avg song

NEO 2.0 ROM 75% better than stock. 0-1+ .1s skips per song.

NEO 2.0 + PowerAMP Pro +250ms +1 Thread Priority = .05s skip every 4-7 songs.

Experimented a lot last night. Best solution I found so far for music was PowerAmp. I had to set Audio Buffer up just one notch to +250ms, and Process Priority Up 1 notch to +1. At these settings I was going 4-7 songs strong without a single skip, or in some cases 1 skip every 2-3 songs. If i pushed the bugger higher or priority higher it oddly made the skipping worse. So hopefully this info helps someone. I can now almost fully enjoy my phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
Wow I never noticed that... I guess because I never power off the phone haha. I selected "Power Off" and I thought it was completely powered off. I then tried to power it back on and it appeared to not want to. So I plugged it into a live usb cable and the screen lit back up with some info about a missing sim card. I then told it to restart and it restarted fine and is back in rom with no issues. Looks like if you want a true, powered off state, while on the 2.0 version of this rom, you'll need to reboot to hboot and power off from there (or in recovery).

Or for now, the Quick Reboot app probably works well to do that. It also has successful reboot to recovery. I'm going to try it out real quick for power off.

EDIT: Confirmed. The app "Quick Boot (Reboot)" has working full power off function. The Reboot to Recovery works as well.

Kinda makes me want to remove the native APM and just use quick boot app for now.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ngr2001:
Any chance you'll update the ROM for the power off issue.

Also I noticed that the Volume Widget does not work. If you add that widget to home screen and then click it to change a volume status it does not function as intended. Instead it opens a setting page as appose to changing the volume status. I'm guessing this is a by product of the heavy volume customization GUI work done.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] WorldOfJohnboy:
I think you need to update the ROM for this: http://www.christianitydaily.com/ar...m8-skipping-update-5-1-1-for-android-m-os.htm

;)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
Well decided to flash, no VoLTE loss, all seems well. Smooth ROM, would like to change loading splash though if possible.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Balian67:
i went back to page 12 to see if anyone else has been having the super slow charge issue? i plugged my phone into a 2 amp charger and 5 hours later it was sitting at 96% (from 13%)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
My phone suffers from this as well. I took my first phone back (I was within my 14 day grace period) thinking it was a hardware issue. I've bought a quick charger and it doesn't do any faster than any other charger. My Samsung Galaxy S4 charges circles around the M9. It's my biggest complaint with this phone, although I do think the overheating processor plays a lot into this.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] xavierxxx2p:
Quick reboot will help...as I understand this is a bug introduced in new firmware.... Might be wrong,thats what I saw on viper forum
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Balian67:
not really. this started happening when i updated the firmware to flash this rom

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

no amount of reboots help for me. i think it is the firmware. just wishing there was a fix solution or work around
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Threefifty:
Quick Reboot is an app that allows you to shut off the phone properly, it is the work around you are looking for. I believe its installed with the rom but if not you can download it from the play store
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hallstevenson:
Don't think it's the firmware. My phone charges from below 20% to 100% in less than two hours - with the stock charger.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I agree it's not the rom. My phone overheats and charges badly on all roms.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Balian67:
i tried this and still nothing. its beyond frustrating. i was at 15% when i plugged in...and i started madden mobile and went down to 3% at full brightness yes....but still...its ridiculous. i only played it for 5 mins and im used to using a 2amp on my old M8 and i never had this issue. its irritating
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] WorldOfJohnboy:
I've seen issues with charging and it was related to the kernel. (Don't ask me why/how, but the Dev even stated that there are things in the kernel that affect charge time.)

Not sure if that's the case here though. I've never been one to really keep track of my charge time--I do know that when the phone gets hot, it will stop charging even if plugged in as a safety measure. (Had it happen over the weekend when my phone was in the sunlight and it was over 90 degrees.) I'm wondering if those that are having the charge time issue are also having heat issues?

I typically just charge my phone overnight, or on my desk at work when I'm not using it, so I can't say 1 way or another if my phone is any better or worse than what's being reported.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
Noticed that the phone doesn't always wake up for calls. I have to tap the screen a few time to make it wake up. Other than that no issues that I can see at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Balian67:
I noticed this too. But when I am in my 71 degree air conditioned house with a fan blowing on it it still takes forever to charge. It took 2 hours to charge 10% once while it was just sitting there not being used. So it isn't always a heating issue. All I know is this issue needs to be fixed by HTC. I would have never taken the update firmware if I knew I was going to have this insane charging issues.

I have been talking to Scotty and he suggested I make a backup > backup my internal Memory > flash stock recovery > factory reset > flash TWRP > boot up test charge speed to see if it had an effect. If it did, I'm sure I should make a backup of the ROM and then restore my backup to see if it is something in the rom or if the factory reset cleared out some crap. So I am in the middle of searching the forums for stock 5.1 recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] im_high_tech:
Have you progressed any further in the testing realm of Bluetooth? Id love to get an update on it. I think im gonna try testing here in a few days as well. Its starting to drive me nuts
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Though I don't keep track of my charge times, I can certainly say that my M9 has NEVER taken that long to charge for sure, and I don't own a "rapid charger" setup, just basic and generic ones.

You most certainly have some other issue going on.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
I think I'll be re-basing soon to the Developer Base (newer base) which also resolves the APM issues. No guarantee that it will resolve any bluetooth issues however.

I concur. My m9 charges completely in a couple of hours (or less). I can only imagine how much faster it'd charge with a rapid charger. Perhaps some devices took better to the firmware update than others.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Do you think a RUU would do anything for those that have the issues?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
It's possible. I know dottat went ahead and made it public (the newest version with the leaked firmware).

However, if still not fixed, they would need to go back to the previous RUU. Unfortunately, that means that they will not be able to run any of the newer firmware without issues. Same goes for trying to run older ROMs on the new firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Balian67:
I am going to RUU back to 5.0.1 (where I did NOT have this charge issue)...then reflash the firmware and restore my backup
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Balian67:
So I RUUed back to 1.32.X, charging was normal from what I saw. So I tried to RUU the firmware you listed, then tried to restore my backup. I got error mount -o bind /data/media/0 something or the other and couldn't boot into any rom. So I pulled some magic out of my fairytale axx and I RUUed back to 1.32 > flashed the newest TWRP > booted into recovery and got a prompt about doing something to system (a message I didn't get in the original 5.1 firmware TWRP verson when trying to restore my backup) which I said yes to. THEN I RUUed the updated 5.1 firmware THEN restored my backup. No errors. Now, my charging test seems to be working. I will update everyone once I get a full screen movie or full screen game while charging. My phone would literally get hot and like have a urinary tract infection trickle charge. sometimes NOT charge at all. So far (after doing my downgrade and re-update) I have had my phone charging while at the Minnesota Vikings training camp...taking pictures (night practice so no heat comparison) and using it at full brightness and it didn't get hot AND it charged from 36% to 100% in 2ish-2.5 hours. My phone would get hot while playing Madden Mobile (but I can't play that till facebook "approves" my identity verification GAHHHH). So I will have to find another high end game to test with. Will update soon!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I've found that if you go to a device or PC where FB is already approved on, you'll usually get approval on the device you're waiting on. It is very frustrating waiting on them to even send a text...

Definitely post back with your results on charging because I suffer through this every day.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] WorldOfJohnboy:
I was just about to post that I finally timed my phone's charging and it took about an hour to charge from 75% to full. Sounds like you have it fixed though.

BTW, I am using a 3rd party, "el cheap-o" charger.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
My phone rarely runs hot, and never gets to a point where it's nearly dead. It charges quick utilizing the stock HTC charger also. I may time the charge one day soon just to see how long it actually takes.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Threefifty:
I use an Anker 18 W Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 I charger my phone from 10%-100% in less than an hour. All on the rom and base from this thread. Also I only experience heat issues (not overheating just getting hot) when charging and using GPS in my car.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Balian67:
No. I mean they want me to verify my first and last name along with my birthdate. They want me to take a picture of my drivers license.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
Yeah.. Google Maps is a hog on battery for sure. Always has been it feels like.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Threefifty:
Yeah it really makes me consider buying a stand alone GPS
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I've gotta say, they have you going to a new level of authorization. I haven't seen that yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
Posting a picture of your license anywhere on-line is a definite no no. If you are really required to do something like that, you need to make sure that, if present, your social is blocked out, as well as your license number and street address.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ngr2001:
Bluetooth Update:

Power Amp was just placebo effect. Over all the improvements to Bluettooth audio streaming all stem from this ROM simple performing faster than stock ROM. With native music app I can sometimes go 4-7 songs without a skip, other times not so much. Overall a big improvement over stock, but a huge let down from Google. Seems like all the Samsung's and HTC phones suffer this issue. I tried every hack i could find nothing makes its perfectly stable.

I did suffer VoLTE Loss, but dont really care.

My phone Charges just fine and runs much cooler now. I can go the whole day and still have 75-80% battery life left and I sync 2 email accounts and use the phone throughout the day.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
That's a shame about your VoLTE. I am one of those who could care less myself about the VoLTE loss as I never use it. My phone was one that didn't lose it though.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I Bluetooth audio with the stock player through my car and headphones and have never had it skip. Sounds like a hardware problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Evocm7:

wondering if it is worth run a 5.1 rom and lose VoLTE!? I will be doing some research on it as i suspect a bug its causing the loss of VoLTE
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Neo:
Yes. Out will be in the update (whenever I do it)

5.1 officially starts rolling or tomorrow so you could always wait and take the OTA.

Any chance you'll be posting all the stock img files? I formatted /data and it bricked my tablet. Ive tried everything I can from recovery. I need all the stock images minus boot obviously. Please help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampirefo:
You have to flash boot.img, you do have a Nextbook 8 Ares? What stock files? Your device is stock, format data, cache, flash boot.img simple as that.

I just checked some of your posts, you been messing with your tablet, my method is to root stock tablet, unmodified tablet.

Your tablet was modified by yourself, so you need to undo what you already did.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinisin:
I need the stock system.img data.img cache.img. I formatted /data and it bricked my tablet. My tab was stock and unrooted. Yes its a nextbook ares 8 with Intel Atom.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

Flashing the boot.img isn't going to unbork my data partition

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Its all good. I'll get them from Nextbook. Thanks anyway.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

If you posted the stock imgs in the OP no one would brick anything as we could just manually flash the imgs to the tablets when we mess up. I had to run my first phone like this. Just using adb and fastboot to run restores when I messed with too much. You should also add that formatting /data may lead to a brick.

I tried a factory reset, it didn't work so I let it(twrp) format data(not /system) . My tab will not boot. Just bootloops at the bootani.

I may not be a dev bro but I know what Im doing. Please don't hesitate to throw testing stuff at me.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Is the recovery for another tab? It acts like it...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampirefo:
Nope not going to post them.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Formatting data leads to disabling encryption, not flashing the boot.img I provided, leads to tablet bootlooping so you can continue to bootloop forever, or flash the boot.img your choice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinisin:
Ok well thanx for rooting it and not answering any other questions. Why you wouldn't post them is beyond me or at the least link to them. For those who wiped system. No need to use their flashtool if you have the imgs. I have them anyway so its whatever.

You should probably fix the recovery or warn that its not even close to fully functional and only really works for flashing. Wipes don't work. Formatting anything bricks it. Im sure there is more too. It's your baby not mine. Im just trying to help you help people. I'll fix my tab fine myself. No thanx to you.

By the way I did flash the boot.img before I formatted. I dunno if that wasn't clear. And the tab still said encrypted. Also I wanted to do more than just flash the boot again. I wanted to reformat by flashing the imgs fresh. Im not exactly sure why you're being snotty but it's cool. I was trying to figure out how to push su binary thru shell but my system wasnt modified. The OP said to leave system alone. I did. I had issues anyway. I asked for more than a fix for BL. Hopefully at the least people will realize they can track down this model on nextbook.com and get the stock imgs and fix bricked tabs very easy. Also return to stock at will. Or rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampirefo:
Sounds good have a nice day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinisin:
Snot.

By the way, flashing the boot img again did not unbrick my tablet. But what do you care, you just post half assed stuff and leave the noobs with bricked tabs.

So again I would suggest you get a hold of the stock img files and post instructions on how to flash them in the OP since you are basically responsible for over 10 bricked tabs at this point. Yeah sure I know it's all at our own risk, but you're not giving us all the tools we need, and that in my opinion means you need to take the entire post down or give us what we need to fix bricks you failed to warn us about.
