Man, even though I'm still going to get the phone this is definitely going to piss a lot of people off. Let's talk about how great the included earphones sound and how great the quality is but oh yeah, not in the US or Canada...
[HTC 10 Accessories] erik07:
True. I'm one of the people who got pissed with the confusing advertising they have with the HTC 10. It's not just the earphones, the payment option that they're saying "preorder now 12 months no patients mo interest financing. And then when you checkout, PayPal Credit option's nowhere to be found. HTC support emailed me that the PP Credit option at checkout would be available after the preorder period. Lol. I'd would hit HTC in the back of the head it was a person.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Tidbits:
This is what I found. So far HTC hasn't cleared the air.

Some regions will get headphones. So far I heard for the USA carriers will not, but the unlocked one will. Some news siteso got the same answer, and some got different ones.

So all this talk about battery... Some early reviews said 5 to 6 hours battery life. While that is good, it isn't outstanding or anything. Sony been doing that for years and the S7 with the same processor, same battery and crazy amounts of bloat gets the same amount. Anyone have anything to share?

Honestly, I am not worried about battery life that much as long as the phone has fast charging feature. I have fast charging charger in office and home and heck, I can even get another for car if I want to. As long as battery life is okay, I am fine with it. Now, if I was to buy a phone without fast charging feature like iphone, that will be a completely different story.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] th3:
Better not be 5-6 hours average... S7e for me if that happens.

Crappy untweaked M8 with everything running gives me that for years.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] richii0207:
SOT has so many variables such as sync, CPU usage(gaming vs reading a book), background tasks (music or phone), screen brightness, connectivity( LTE or Wi-Fi), reception, etc.

You should always take someone's SOT with a grain of salt. For instance, I can make the same phone that has less than 2 hours SOT last longer than 8 hours SOT.

To give you a better idea that's suitable for YOU....I had an M8 and battery life on the 10 yields better battery life based on my useage. So if you enjoy the M8's battery life, your going to love the 10s battery.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] th3:
How much better? I've had one M8 averaging 8.5hr SOT and the other averaging 5.5hr. Same guy using it for months [emoji3]

M8 was awesome for its time (I have M9 but meh). M8 is so old now, I'd love a noticeable improvement.

Biggest battery life killer for me has always been ads/brightness. But I really want good SOT.

comparing devices with different size battery's is not really comparing

SOT will be affect by many variables, background apps, wi-fi, lte, brightness, etc etc...

The battery looks good, not great, but good, but there is no better battery out there for the same kind of device, and the S7E is not the same, compare it with the S7 rather than the S7E
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] burso83:
disappointing battery life so far

Hi guys I'm new here. I've subscribed only because the one thing I hate about my new HTC 10 is the poor battery life and I hope I'll get some opinions here.

I've had the phone for 5 days now and completed 4 full overnight charging cycles (run it down to 0% every evening) and I'm not getting anywhere the 4.5hrs Screen on time, and what's even worse I barely make it through the day. I do understand the performance will improve, however I've seen reviews of people that had much better performance right out of the box (at least that was what they have said in those vids).

Where's the performance that was so boldly hyped?! Also, the fast charging it's not as fast as advertised too. With the phone turned off after 30 mins I don't get past 38%.

Maybe I'm biased, but I'm using the phone exactly the same way as I used my M8 before the upgrade. Considering the 10 has larger battery to accommodate the thirstier display (which is gorgeous) and the fact the M8 was over 2 years old and battery capacity reduced I would have expected at least on par performance, but this phone gives me a maximum of 12 hours of "on time" on one charge.

I use brightness at about 70% with auto brightness on. Screen timeout 45secs. Below are the recent results from today. I really wonder if I have a dodgy battery.

I don't think the links work. Stats were 12hrs 16mins on battery, Screen on time 2hrs 46mins, there isn't a suspicious app that would be draining the battery drastically. System Usage on Battery - Screen scores 39%. Is the screen the battery killer?!

What do you think, how does this compare to your experience?

Thanks in advance

[MENTION=7475442]burso83[/MENTION] are you on Verizon by chance?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lagittaja:
It's not a dodgy battery.

You have really bad signal (read: eats battery)

Something is keeping your 10 awake 100% of the time (read: eats battery)

Have you factory reset your phone?

If you haven't, back it up and do a reset and see if that improves things.

That's the best advice I can give you if you can't find out what app or apps are keeping your phone awake.

Edit: As for the mobile signal, that's not really something you can magically fix.

But what carrier is this on? What service do you have? And by service I mean 3G or 4G or HSPA+ or LTE or whatever.

If you are on 4G / LTE, try switching the phone to 3G / HSPA+ or whatever your carrier calls it.

This setting can be found in Settings > Mobile Data > Network Mode.

The setting out of the box says either

2G/3G/4G Auto

or

GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto

depending on your location.

Change it to

2G/3G Auto

or

GSM/WCDMA Auto

and see if that gets you better signal.​

For reference, my first full discharge on the 10 was a 15h duration with a 5h SoT including a wakelock that ate 9% of my battery.

Thanks, I guess I'll try the factory reset. Could you please advise what is the easiest way/app to be used to back up everything?

I have looked at HTC Backup and HTC restore but they don't seem to be the way to go.

If I decide to try to identify the app/apps that keep my phone awake, how do I do this? sorry for the noob question.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] DoctorB0NG:
I would highly suggest not restoring from a backup after resting your phone. Whenever I factory reset, I manually install all apps and change all the settings. I usually have very good luck with phone batter life and the 10 is no different.

I'm currently approaching 6 hours SoT over 36 hours usage with the US unlocked version running the Verizon RUU.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mark112887:
you put the verizon ruu on the US unlocked?

Or you could install the app "home switcher for android tv" This hides and unhides leanback launcher without having to adb. Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link but if you google whats in the quotes you will find the apk.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] DBCAB:
If you are referring to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asad.homeswitcher&hl=en this app requires root but yes you are correct it will allow you to switch home launchers if you adb hide you can do it with or without root , was this the program you were talking about ? if not can you please link ty.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] mad212:
Yeah that's it. I couldn't find it on the play store. I forgot to mention you need root.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] spirohan:
Hey , first thank you a lot for this tutorial ! But there's one thing that would be as useful as the settings.apk . Did someone found the power menu.apk of the leanback launcher ?
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] DBCAB:
If you want to bring up the power menu for restart, power off , etc. options that would depend on how you are controlling the device I use a harmony remote with mine, and under shield on remote if i hold down the power toggle button the main power menu will come up with options. Try holding down either the power toggle , or power button on the device you are using to control the shield , and see if the Power menu pops up. You can also restart the shield through the About tab under settings and place a shortcut to settings on the ha launcher home screen for easier access if restarting is what you are trying to do. As for turning off the machine if you hold the power button on the machine for around 10 to 12 seconds it will shut down.

As for access the power menu from home screen with the controller I have never been able to get it to do that and the launcher does'nt really have anything to do with it , because I'm able to access this menu with my remote.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] spirohan:
Thanks DBCAB but i haven't got a remote and i don't really want to force shutdown by pressing power for 10 seconds (because it is not very good to do that) nor want to just reboot. I wish to find the system shortcut, i haven't found yet but if i do i'll tell you how. But if someone find it before me, please tell us !
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] DBCAB:
The update notes for the marshmallow release state clearly the way to access the power menu on the home screen is to hold down the back button, it does not however state if they are referring to the remote or the controller. Guess we can try it. I do know long press the home key on the controller does bring up the twitch settings menu I haven't tested the back button on the controller to get to the power menu will check it tomorrow as its late atm.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] DBCAB:
Ok heres how how to make a shortcut to the power settings right on the launcher home screen first download this program from here at XDA in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-create-shortcut-app-activities-t3397757

Next install it on Shield, open and go to the All Activities Tab scroll down till you see Settings its the first one on the list (the icon sorta looks like a stereo audio bar slider), and click on it, Next scroll down that list all the way to the bottom to the activity named (com.android.tv.settings.Power.Settings.Activity) and click on it, on the following screen rename the shortcut to something more normal like power or power setting whatever you like, then click the yellow icon to the bottom right to create a shortcut. Once this shortcut is made you can go into the app list on ha launcher and add this shortcut wherever you like as usual , and have access to the sleep restart and power off menu on the Shield. Kinda a round about way to do it but once its done you have the shortcut so all good.

You can also change the icon etc as usual in ha launcher.

There are 2 power settings under that heading when u are looking try to go all the way down to the end of that list to find to correct one, and try that, I might be able to just copy the shortcut and post it here but different people have different machines and setups so I felt was better to just show a way to do it rather then post a shortcut that may not work for some
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] sandeepmenon711:
Yep, I saw 2 power settings and I tried both. I even tried a different app to create the shortcut but the same issue for that too. It would be helpful if you can post the shortcut here. I have Nvidia shield tv 16G.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] DBCAB:
I have the pro version , but this should work on both devices , I was wondering if maybe you are under the correct area for the settings. The icon under which the power setting you need does not look like a gear, its rather like a stereo slider bar white with 3 horizontal black bars I tried to attach an image of it for you but this post wont allow me to do so for some reason.

Hi,

Sorry just got my Shield and want to use Hal. I don't know how i can connect my shield to my pc using USB. Is it like a seperate wire?

Also, how do you install the settings.apk? I'm a noob and don't want to do something wrong. I assume its a copy to pendrive, then to ES Explorer and then install? Would that work

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] DBCAB:
You can use a typical usb wire connection like the one u use to charge the device, from your pc to the shields mini usb port, I do this with my laptop makes it easier to connect the 2 while shield is hooked up.

As for installing the apk you would install that as u would any other apk transfer it to the shields download folder or wherever you like and then click on it to use, there many file mangers that can see your home network making it easy to transfer it to the shield there are even utilitys that install things for you the newest version on there firmware also supports viewing the shield right on your windows network making it really easy to transfer things back and forth, just get a file manager like es file explorer solid explorer etc. or use the new function on the device. But yes I guess the pendrive thing would work too just have to get it on there Ive never actually used a pen drive for it I use my network , but yeah it would work as long as you can get the apk on the device

If you are rooted, use a system app remover to uninstall the original launcher , any uninstaller or files app that allows system app uninstall should work. Make sure new launcher is installed and set up before you do so. You shouldn't need the commands if you are rooted.
