Couple of new issues for me

Play store crashing over and over again when trying to view a particular app (Vive Port & Firefox did this for me), turns out Boost+ was changing the resolution of play store to conserve battery and causing the issue (saw this report for the U11)

Had a random freeze and reboot / bugcheck today, simply unlocked the phone, screen was awake but frozen completely then seconds later it rebooted and requested to send a report to HTC which I did.

On the face of it after a couple of weeks I have to say battery life is no good for me compared to Nougat (2 days with Nougat general use, now by evening I am less than 20% left).

Meh
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusct82:
Thanks for this. I've had this issue randomly with lots of app's on play store. This was the solution - disabling BOOST+.

Stand by drain on oreo is very high battery Life reduced by around 25%for me compare to nougat
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] petenice:
I updated to Oreo the other day which is build 3.18.91.2 on a UK EE handset. At the moment this feels like a complete step back in terms of the UI - I'm convinced there's something wrong with this install. All of the loading indicators in app are static and not animating. It seems as though all animation has be stripped from the UI completely. And what's the deal with the "squircle" icons??? Dear god.

Just been on to HTC support and they're investigating further.....
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] errikosd:
Boost+ is totally useless since Nougat. It's a good thing you can uninstall it in Oreo (you couldn't in Nougat WWE).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnu4u:
I thought so, but some how I'm able to uninstall from US Unlocked with Nougat.

2 days back it had lot of battery drain and showed up battery usage history. When I clicked on it, I got options to force close, uninstall. I thought it will uninstall updates but it got removed totally. I'm not sure if it works again, but it worked and my phone is without boost+.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] santod040:
Nougat - Boost+ lived in /system for some and /data for others

Oreo - It lives in apppreload which = /data

Data apps can be removed, while system apps can only be disabled.

No grand mystery. ;)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnu4u:
I'm able uninstall on Nougat with no root.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] santod040:
Your point?

Because, as I already said and you quoted,

some

Nougat builds included it in /data/app which allows uninstall. (some had it in /system which = no uninstall option)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zekoslawen:
Figured this one out, in case anyone cares I went to notifications settings then in the ... menu on top right it can be selected to show system apps. I did that and blocked all notifications for Updater.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JassyNL:
Any changes compared to 3.16? Some other carriers also have 3.18 but Europe unlocked is on 3.16. Can we expect an update soon to this new build?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] santod040:
3.16 and 3.18 have same build date, nothing new there...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Si6776:
Just to add to this complete debacle, my HTC 10 seems to have developed yet another fault, in that it's refusing to fully charge. I had it on charge overnight, turned it on this morning, and it only read 82%, so I left it on charge for the rest of the day, and now it's only reading 80%. This is with a proper HTC charger, and the charging led is indicating as working. The charging led is actually green, saying it is fully charged now, when clearly it isn't.

Battery drain

My battery life on Oreo was horrible, HTC dialer was constantly draining the battery. I was running US Unlocked firmware with Super CID. I switched from Super CID to US Unlocked CID, formatted, re-flashed everything, set up as a new device, rooted with SuperSU instead of magisk and now it appears to be almost normal battery drain.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnu4u:
I misinterpreted your reply. Sorry for that.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guschdl:
I installed the update 2 days ago. Besides an incredibly slow wifi connection my phone changes the media volume automatically. I start a yt video with 50% volume and at some point it changes to full 100%. Does anybody else had this issue so far? Its a little bit annoying.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] petenice:
So it turns out that because I had power saver mode on it's stripped out all of UI animations in Oreo. I'm currently getting 2.5 hours SOT with PSM on so who know what I'll get without it. For a phone that's about 18 months old the battery life is appalling.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JimboVV:
Every time i update apps over the Playstore, my phone shows 1-2 seconds the following messsage in the notification-bar: "HTC Mirror Link in running in the background". Has someone the same message while updating Apps?

Battery drain quickly

I update my fone last week , not rooted ...just using openvpn connect and of course its drain the battery when i use mobile data ...the problem is after update this " extreme power saving mode " its drain the battery horribly without any explanation , more than 70% and its not happened before

is there any ideas or solutions for this problem ??
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledmeister:
This is exactly the problem I am having...extreme power saver is the biggest battery drain. Does anyone know what the heck is going on here?

Camera bug after Oreo Update - Touch exposure

Just found a bug with the camera after this Oreo update. Seems the extremely useful touch auto exposure feature no longer works!

Cache partition cleared, no difference.

Restarting the camera app allows touch auto focus to work a couple of times then it stops. Never to reappear.

When tapping the screen I no longer get the focus circle, noise or bar to adjust exposure before taking a photo. :(
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonail:
Works perfectly. I just checked it in my phone. Maybe it's something else?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] phxzy:
Works fine here. You aren't using the Pro mode or are you?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supradupra.com:
No, not using pro mode, just the normal auto HDR as I have been for the last 18 months. Literally the only thing to change on my 10 is this Oreo update this week. Never a problem before.

When you first open the camera app the tap auto exposure circle & adjuster slide bar appear as usual whe nyou touch the screen.

This will only happen 2-3 times, then the circle freezes, half fades out & then vanishes never to reappear.

To bring it back you have to close & open camera again.

Cleared partition cache, reset camera app etc - No change.

Real blooming nuisance as it makes the camera rubbish to use now as a result!!

Also battery drain increased again.. The last update was bad enough for this :(
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jagpurr:
Anybody found a fix for this yet?

Updated HTC10 today and lost the ability to set different sounds for different notifications and in messages can no longer set different sound for incoming and outgoing texts ?

What are the playing at?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supradupra.com:
I've also noticed this also. On top of the camera issue.. Everything is stuck on the same sound. Changing sounds in each app menu sets that sound globally. :/
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] phxzy:
Have you already tried a factory reset?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supradupra.com:
Not yet. With so many bugs & issues making the phone genuinely a bit s#it now. I can see I'm pretty much being forced down this route in order to solve them.. :( I can;t really see any other option now.

My mums HTC 10, same update - Works perfectly!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledmeister:
I am on Three uk and I resolved this problem by changing the preferred network type from "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL)" to "LTE/WCDMA" using using *#*#4636#*#*

Made a huge difference to the battery drain. I am now back decent battery times and extreme power saving mode does not feature anymore in my battery stats.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] phxzy:
Hope it will solve the problem for you. I think your mom having a lot of luck. ?

I always do a clean install after such a big update.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sub_zero_333:
HI AND THANK U , IS THIS ONE WORK JUST IN UK OR GLOBALLY ?? IM NOW AT QATAR SO IF I TRY IT ...WOULD WORK FOR ME ALSO ??:confused:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledmeister:
Nothing to loose by trying. Just make sure you make note of what it is set to before you change in case it doesn't work and you have to reset. Although I think restart resets it anyway.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonail:
It seems to have worked for me too. I'm in Greece. I'll keep on testing though.

i currently have the same issue, huge battery drain created by the Dialer App. i have been jumping between Stock RUU 3.16.617.2 and LeeDroid but no Fix. have been using Super CID and Magisk SU.

Also i noticed i have 2 Phone Apps installed in the system, does everyone have the same ?

Current Setup is, Stock 3.16.617.2, Super CID, and magisk SU. i will try your process and report back
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] stretchnz:
Hmmm yes! I also have 2 x Phone apps.

I am on 3.16.709.3 (Taiwanese variant, OTA updated, no root no nothing).

I do not however have insane battery stats for the Phone apps / dialer.

Mine was showing mobile network as the killer, so I did a network reset which looses all wifi / bluetooth etc connections, seemed better for a day and now back to flat before end of night.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] notJustSomeGuy:
I also have 2 phone apps, I also have something called "Call Management" which has used 7% since last full charge... I'm on 77% atm. It also do not show up in regular battery stats. Anyone know does what it does?

Hey guys I'm having trouble running the RUU file that was recently reposted by HTC. I installed HTC Manager and connected my phone. The RUU file does reboot my phone into download mode, but then the wizard errors out and says something about a signature error. Anyone run into this? Once I exit the wizard, my phone reboots back into Nougat.

I'm using the unlocked US variant, purchased directly from HTC.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaime1400:
Just to give an update on this topic. i did the following:

- Changed CID to US Unlocked and ran the RUU --> Good Battery Life

- Flashed TWRP Recovery let it sit over night --> Good Battery Life (10% battery consumed in 6 hrs; i was sleeping)

-Flashed Magish SU this morning --> under testing right now but its a lot better than before

only real change to my previous setup was to change from Super CID to US_Unlocked CID.

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

well you might be able to try this:

- Run RUU file as administrator.

- Cick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.

- At this point do not go any further.

- Navigate to C:\Users"Your Name"\AppData\Local\Temp (AppData is a hidden folder)

- You should see one or two folders like this: {719CE201-7B12-4A13-9AF6-8F359FE69C7B} // Numbers will be different on your system

- Go into the one with dotnetinstaller.exe in it.

- Open up the next folder.

- Copy rom.zip into another folder (outside of temp).

- At this point just Cancel and quit out of the ROM Update Utility.\

- Rename rom.zip to 2PS6IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd-card.

- Boot in Hboot. (here's a visual guide for this process --> https://youtu.be/1ACU3RGm9YI)

- Select Yes.

Profit!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] santod040:
Or do it the easier(more direct) way and simply flash the RUU that works for S-On devices

Ahh OKAY!! Still a newbie here. I needed to understand what was meant by S-On versus S-Off. Downloading now and thanks!

This works perfectly, and thanks everyone for the help!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
There is a fix, but it may require root and modifying the system partition, maybe not, but haven't tested on a stock rom.

Basically, taking the Settings.apk from the U11 will resolve this and after extensive testing there isn't any differences to be concerned about.

The attached Settings.apk is taken from a dump on the U11 2.33.401.10 UHL (single sim)

This is one of the many fixes in Leedroid thats been there for a while so sorry for the delay, so its simply in there, but you could try replacing /system/priv-app/Settings.apk (CHMOD 644 as well if needed) (it may also be necessary to delete /data/system/package_cache/1/Settings-* if that leads to odd behavior)

Or you might also have luck installing it directly so it exists as an update in /data/app/ - not sure there as I haven't tried it.

It is basically down to fix it, but good luck getting another HTC 10 update, I have been chasing them to acknowledge this bug on Twitter for a month and not had a single reply.

But once correctly updated or in place, the correct notifications selector will pop up and allow you to set different notification tones where available without changing the system default.

I try to connect my ANT+ device(MIO FUSE) with the app Endomondo.

It desn't happen when I use Bluetooth to connect HRM.

Is there anyone same like me?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
Many many thanks...worked like a charm on my U11+ stock rom, rooted with magisk. Renamed stock Settings.apk in Setting.apk.bak just for safety, copied Settings.apk from your zip in /data/app and restarted my phone...everything works just fine. Many thanks again!

Ps: I did not wiped anything, just replaced the apk.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
The bug was in the u11+ aswell?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] skodann:
Yes, stock rom.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] RegentELite:
At the moment I'm testing the CooSpo HRM connected via ANT+ to simple heart rate monitor app found here, 10 minutes have passed with no disconnection, after nearly half an hour I'll try Endomodo and post back here. While I'm testing, your could try the same monitor app instead of Endomodo to see if it will also lose the connection. Also try to exclude installed ANT services and Endomodo itself from Battery Optimization list, maybe the system stops these services after some time. Do you have any other optimizers like Greenify or alike?

I have a same problem.

This phone just a piece of ****, after Oreo update. Battery life ~30% less, than Nougate, camera useless etc.

Hotspot & screen brightness

Since I upgraded to Oreo I've been having two issues:

1. the hotspot stops passing the internet through to my laptop after a while.

2. The screen brightness changes randomly without me changing any. The change is equivalent to turning on or off power saving mode.

Anyone else been experiencing this?

Media Sync is Terrible

Any Music I download doesn't show up on Play Music or any other player. I tried clearing the cache and data on Media Storage under Settings->Apps->System Apps. Thought it did the trick but it's happening again. Not only this, my Play Store kept crashing every time I tried to search for any App. Downloaded the Play Store APK from APKMirror and that did the trick.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] RegentELite:
Wow, great workaround, man! Thanks for the tip and the APK. Using this, I've created a tiny Magisk module to replace the app systemlessly. However I've had to remove the package cache manually, without it I was told about some license issues. Now it all works! It's a great feature in Oreo update to define different sound for nearly every notification that system knows about that was sh*tted up by HTC devs. Now I'm a step closer to stop waiting for new HTC updates that fix previous updates. A couple of another tiny fixes and I won't wait more at all.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] amrs:
A couple of issues and pink text

I'm mostly happy with the Oreo update on my HTC 10, but there are a few things...

If I enable "Do not disturb" switch for the volume slider (using SystemUI Tuner) , then only the upper half of the do not disturb text and switch is shown (image). DND still seems to work and the advanced settings for it too but it's just ugly as sin now. Update: not fixable in SystemUI Tuner, according to author.

I've been using "rsync backup for android" for years but it doesn't seem to be able to actually run the rsync any more. OTOH, it looks like the rsync binary still works from the command line. Also looks like this is no longer in the Play store so maybe I should get with the times and use something else. Update: using sshelper now instead which is a minimal shell environment and includes rsync and ssh client and server.

Pink text. I have it in Better Battery Stats and an app for local libraries (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fi.enisoft.taskukirjasto if you care). I understand this is an app issue? Is there something that can be passed to the app devs to fix it? Do x and the text is no longer pink? Update: both apps have been updated and text is no longer pink.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] RegentELite:
One more bug on Oreo 8.0:

After wiping, or deleting "Contacts" data (or actually doing anything that makes your contacts sync back to your empty phone from Google account), all photos are downloaded in low resolution. The only way I could fix this, is by installing Google Contacts from Play Market. Run it immediately after install, then open any contact that has photo attached, and look how it changes to High-res in real time. After that, if you go to HTC Contacts, you see that all photos now are in high resolution.

Being a software developer, I'm a total dumb in everything that relates to Android internals, but I think there is some common separate contacts storage that is used by contacts user applications to store and get the info. The buggy HTC contacts gets only low-resolution photos while Google Contacts gets the full-sized ones and puts them into that common storage, from where the HTC app gets it after.

Does anybody know some other ways to fix it without installing Google Contacts? Maybe there're some settings for HTC Contacts stored somewhere in XML file, like when I want to enable Bubble for Google Phone, I just have to edit the XML in shared_prefs?

Or maybe I'm the only who faced this bug?

Media Storage Issue

Whenever I download any audio file, I can't find it on any media players (Play Music or any other app) unless I clear data/cache on Media Storage under (Apps->Show System Apps->Media Storage) which force refreshes your Media Storage. The audio I delete is still there and the audio I download doesn't show. Doing this every time is annoying as it proves only to be a temporary fix. All my ringtones get reset as a result and it's very time consuming on the whole. Anyone knows how to fix this?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
HTC Contacts has an import/export function. Since i use this (output is a *.vcf file) and no other sync method, i don't have any problems with contact photos anymore.
