Ok guys, finally I got my notification for the Pie update. I own the free european 64 GB dual-sim variant and I'm in German T-Online network.

I hope this is the fixed update that won't soft-brick the U11...:rolleyes::confused:

Any information on that?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
Wow this thread is nearly a year old!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] artlost:
Is it me or are there a lot of features of Android Pie missing in the update of HTC? :confused:

There is no:

Adaptive Battery

Intuitive Navigation

Digital Wellbeing

Etc.

https://www.android.com/versions/pie-9-0/

Actually the things I noticed up to now are only:

Adaptive Brightness

Do Not Disturb

Redesigned Quick Settings

Volume controls

Security patch level of July 2019

Anything else?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Adaptive battery and digital wellbeing are implemented. You have to use the search box under settings to find them.

Gestures in a device with hardware buttons is useless, in my opinion
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
So far everything is looking and working good. But I'm not yet done with setting up everything after the full wipe and update...

Adaptive battery and digital wellbeing are there, indeed.

Security patch is july 2019.

Quick settings are in new style and dark theme is working (but on quick settings only - I hoped for a complete theming...)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] artlost:
Digital Wellbeing I found using the search (and selecting to see the icon in the app drawer).

But the adaptive battery I cannot find...can you please send me a screenshot or instructions?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ozdenatabey:
Omg! I am backing stock now. I hope this update come for Turkey too :)

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

Succesfully backed up. But still come not update pie yet :(
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Search for "battery" and select the second or third result
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] artlost:
Thanks! I did find this menu, but I see nothing called adaptive battery. Is this the Battery Manager (Gestor de batería on your screen)?

It looks/sounds different than the (description of the) official Android Pie functionality:

https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/android/165432/android-9-pie-feature-focus-adaptive-battery

So I'm not sure if this is the same :rolleyes:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Yeah, maybe is not the same... But the description that appears in the menu is very similar... I am not sure.

Thanks for the info.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Seems Italy and Germany got the first waves in Europe this time...

I'm shure you'll get the update soon.:)

Btw. I searched manually for an update via the settings app and then got the notification...;)

@ artlost: It is a bit hidden and tricky to find. It is active by default and I had to use the search within the settings menu to finally find it...:p:D

In German they call it Akku-Manager. So I guess it might be named different from adaptive battery in you language, too...(if your system language isn't english, of course)

Good luck:svetius:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] artlost:
Thanks! Well, my system language is English and here it is called "Battery Manager " which obviously is different than "Adaptive Battery".

In the official description it states that it should "Limit battery for apps that you don't use often":

https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/android/165432/android-9-pie-feature-focus-adaptive-battery

But the Battery Manager's description is: "Detect apps drain battery". Which seems like a different functionality.

Whereas the adaptive brightness in HTC U11 Pie is called Automatic brightness, but with a description which mentions ..."You can move the slider manually to help adaptive brightness learn your preferences.". So although it is called differently, it is the adaptive brightness from the official Pie.

Maybe I'm going to deep into this, but I don't understand why HTC just doesn't use the same functionality and call it the same as in the official Pie release.

EDIT

I digged a little bit deeper into this :cowboy: and it seems that it indeed is the Adaptive Battery functionality. If I enter the developer options, I do see the different statuses of the standby apps (ACTIVE, RARE, etc.):

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...id-pies-new-adaptive-battery-feature-0186920/

Anyway, for me it seems to make more sense just to call it the same as the official release and to make it possible to access the functions directly and not only via the search.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Ok, good to know that.:good:

I find it strange, too, what HTC decided here. But I guess we're lucky to have Pie at all on our device...^^
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] one-option:
The recent Apps still showing vertically not horizon way

uncompleted update after all that time !!!!!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] -R47-:
How's the battery life on Pie? I'm getting really great screen on time with Oreo, 5+hrs with medium usage, I'm not sure if it's worthwhile to update.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] EnricoLH:
Any feedback for camera and battery life? I hope they're the same they were with Oreo!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Well, initial feedback for the camera and battery life:

Camera App looks the same and in my short test also behaved like I'm used to on Oreo. I didn't try all modes. But taking pictures in Auto and Pro mode works well and they look just as good as on Oreo.

Videos the same.

In addition I use GCam Pixel3 (stable version from Arnova) in difficult light situations which works as it did on Oreo.

It will take some more time to get significant numbers on battery life. But on my first discharge period right after the update I went from 100 % down to 0 % and got quite impressive results.:good:

See attached screenshots...

Note: I had Lacation, Bluetooth and NFC turned OFF, which is standard for my daily use.

I will keep you updated...;)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Sorry, forgot one and could not put it in my above comment...:rolleyes:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Well, so far I am satisfied with the battery life. I usually charge within the range of 30 - 80 percent, so my normal cycle isn't that long. But even with 80 % my U11 holds up to my daily usage quite well and that didn't change since I'm on Pie.:good:

Hopefully the new adaptive battery will improve battery life a little...

The only thing annoying me since Oreo still persists on Pie: the heavy drain from mobile network standby over night. Lost 12 % last night...?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MPooZD:
how performance and battery comparing to Oreo ? is there any battery drain or slow/lags ?

I'm currently on Oreo and satisfied with current battery and performance, i'm afraid that the update cause some problems as some previous HTC models.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Have a look at my previous posts...;)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Zero2098:
Is android pie can be rooted yet??
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
My impressions after some days with the update:

Location is not working (maps, weather and any app cannot find my location)

Do not disturb does not work properly (the led is still flashing even if you set "do not turn on with screen off")

Sense companion has stopped counting steps

Huge battery drain from Google play services.

All those issues are after two factory reset. The last one was without restoring any backup and without installing any app (a clean factory image)

In other manufacturer I will wait for another update to fix this problems but with HTC... Well, HTC is not going to release more updates for the u11.

So I am going to return the mobile to the store and say goodbye to HTC. I will NEVER have another HTC. Never.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lynx12:
Hi, on Saturday I updated to Pie, so far I do not notice any problems, everything works as it should .... (and I did not do HR)

I just had to reinstall ACR (32.7 - unChained)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] tap1212:
I understand that ACR is working properly ? You can record the entire conversation.

Anyone sharing new RUU?

Anyone sharing new RUU for US version?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] diegoza:
Four days with Android Pie

Until today without apparent problems.

I have the phone without root, and locked.

before updating just delete the dalvik.

Normal battery consumption. No lag. Camera ok.

Auto brightness works much much better

The only thing that notifications have no darktheme.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheEndHK:
Any improvement from camera?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] diegoza:
It doesn't seem.... or I still don't perceive them.

The voice capture option is working, with oreo I can never activate it.

I don't really use camera options much, I have a reflex.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
I'm glad for you... But I am having a lot of problems with battery and Google play services(see screenshot attached).

That is with a factory reset and NO apps installed during the first two days. Just a clean factory image.

Other problem is that sense companion is not counting steps correctly... When it counts, because there are days that do not notify anything at all.

Another problem is that the location takes too long. When I open Google maps it takes 25-40 seconds to find me. In Oreo it was immediate.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
With the Play Services consuming that much power... is your battery actually draining faster than on Oreo?

Because I got such high numbers with the mobile network standby (up to 46 %) but my battery does not drain faster than usual. As if it is just shown incorrectly...:confused:

I still get over 6 hours of SOT and also low standby drain over the day...
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Draining like hell. Every night it drains about 14-18% and during the day it drains 4% per hour.

I hardly can get 4 hours is SOT.

With Oreo I could get 6 hours SOT. But most important, at night it was only draining 2-3%.

Is a HUGE difference.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Well, that sucks. I know that very well from past experiences. With my Xperia Z2 I had such drain on some roms, on others not. Even with root, xposed and on custom roms and kernels I was never able to get full control over such behaviours. :mad:

With the U11 it is a little strange, too. On Nougat I had no heavy drain, I think. On Oreo that over night drain from mobile network stanby began and I still have it on Pie. But only over night I get real battery drain. 10 - 15 percent gone.

But over the average day all is fine, unlike your case...

Actually I gave up searching for solutions and trying this and that...:(

Good luck, though...
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
Yeah, the same thing here.

During day the drain is normal, is about 4-6% for google play services but at night... Well, at night it suddenly rises 25-30% which means 12-16% of battery gone.

It is insane and I have the exact apps that I had installed on Oreo (Netflix, Spotify, outlook and bank app). I do not understand nothing.

Thanks for the info
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
You're welcome.

I'll try disabling WiFi for one night and mobile data the next one. Maybe something changes...:confused:

Btw. Do you have Bluetooth, NFC and/or Location on all the time? Mine are switched off...
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
While I am connected to a WiFi the drain is normal (play services drain 2-3% in all night). The problem is only with mobile data.

Today I have disabled Boost+ and Sense Companion (this is not working on Pie, so I do not care) and updated play services to 19.0.56. Let see this night if something changes...

The location is on in my case.

About Sense Companion, is very curious that the step counter only works while connected to a WiFi. If I only use mobile data it does not work... ¿¿??

I think is necessary a second update from HTC, there are things that are not working correctly (sense companion and boost) or aren't in the correct place (digital wellbeing and adaptation battery, for example. You have to search for them but should appear into settings menu).
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Yeah, a small update would be nice, but I guess it won't come...

After all I think after my U11 I'm most likely done with HTC. It's such a pity, but one must face the truth...:(
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
After uninstalling boost and disabling sense companion I "only" had 8% of battery drain tonight with mobile data. Is not good but at least is better than before (14-18% battery drain).

Maybe you want to give a try and see if it helps to you...
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Thanx, I'll give it a try.

Sense Companion is disabled already. Now I uninstalled Boost+.

Disabling mobile data didn't improve the over night drain...

Cheers:cowboy:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
So, in 12 hours I lost 7% of battery and 95 % of that is from mobile network... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Good or bad...?:confused:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pantumaca:
7% in 12h I think is quite good.

If you want to analyse the battery usage in deep, I would recommend you to use battery historian (search in Google). Is not an app, is a PC (windows or Linux) service that use the debug archives that android generates in the background.

Save your money in apps, are too simple to have a good vision of what is going on with the battery
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Good idea, thank you! I read about it but didn't try, yet...

So far I'm using Gsam and AccuBattery. I'll give the historian a try...:svetius:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] necktru:
If you had drain issues at sleep, last week was published a google play services bug that generates that drain, but now is fixed, play services update automatically in my phone, so I don't have drain issues anymore, at night I spend 3 or 4% of battery, not a big deal, by othe way, is a must to deactivate apps that don't use like companion, uninstall boost+, play movies or any app that you don't use

It must have been the wrong update, I guess. But didn't HTC pull that one back worldwide?

The new update should be ok.

You might get your phone fixed at the HTC service...

@ necktru: Thanx for the info.:good:

And yes, I always deinstall or deactivate all apps I don't need...

Edge sense ?

Hello, I few days ago updated to PIE via OTA in Italy on my U11 128G, everything worked fine, I even see an improvementi in battery drain but I realized some hours ago that Edge Sense is no way working, I'm sure it worked until end of last week as I shot some photos like that.

Did anyone experience similar issue?

Stefano
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalWarrior:
Did you do a factory reset before the OTA update?

I've read from users on a German forum who updated from Nougat to Oreo back then and had those issues with Edge Sense. When I remember correctly they dirty flashed the OTA update. Those who made a fresh install didn't have such problems.

Maybe a factory reset will help you...

Or you could at least try and clear cache and data of the apps "EdgeSensorService" and "Edge Launcher" and after that clear cache in recovery. Maybe that helps...:confused:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] itcrackerjack:
Is Active Sync connecting properly? On the phone, is the ICS program selected to use the USB connection and not bluetooth? Does the internet on your phone work just fine?

Also, make sure active sync is green before hitting connect in ICS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SlizzyTekSupport:
Make sure you can browse on the device first...

Try a soft reset (pull the battery out while it's turned on)

also if you have XP SP2 or higher, load up command prompt

Start => Run => CMD => Click ok

now type these in

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

netsh init ip delete arpcache

netsh winsock reset all

restart your computer and try your internet sharing again.

If that still doesn't work, feel free to call 1-800-937-8997 That is t-mo's cust care department, and ask for Tier 3 Data Support. That seems to be something around a bad gateway. but I'm not to sure. I think a trouble ticket would have to be filed and it advanced to ATSG...

On top of that, have them test the Internet2.voicestream.com, and internet3.voicestream.com provisionings on your account in what they call ihlr. also try to get them to do a cancel location.... have them re provision the acount (remove the apns and put them back), and maybe even remove the wap.voicestream.com and internetX.voicestream.com apns from the sim card and then resend the switch. that might work.

forewarn you they will go through these trouble shooting tips with you while you're on the phone. (the netsh commands)... but demand that they do the info above... and if you're still getting the HTTP Error, ask for a trouble ticket, now you will have to be on the phone and they do take a while, but it won't get filed unless you're on the phone with them. and the account HAS to be verified. so make sure you are either an Authorized User or the Account holder on the number you're calling about. Also make sure you're not on the device. they hate it, and it's against policy... They are an in bound call center and are unable to call customers back... but half the time they can't get through because they're number is blocked.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Kam0laZ:
My HTC 10 is about 1 year old, and I've never saw it show the "charging rapidly" message. It always charges normally, but I think that, somehow, the quickcharge thing is not engaging.

To clear my doubts, I've purchased a USB tester (model J7-t), and found out that the phone is charging at 5.08V 1.45A, with factory original charger and cable. With another charger (a regular 2.4A charger) and another cable, it charges at 5,22V 1.45A.

With phone turned off, it charges at 5,10V 0.96A.

I've tried some tips from other threads, like turning the cable over (I assume turning over the USB-C part of the cable), cleaning the USB-C port, restarting the phone, to no avail.

It has no problems connecting to the computer for data transfer, it also charges from the computer USB port.

It's running stock Oreo with stock kernel, rooted, bootloader unlocked and S-ON. As it is, takes over 90 minutes to go from below 20% to 100%.

Is this normal? Anyone knows why it's refusing to quick charge?

__________

EDIT: I suspect that the culprit is the cable itself, a HTC brand cable that came with the phone. It may not be compatible with Quick Charge technology.

I researched a bit about cables, and ordered a couple of these - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bli...r-Cable-1m-1-8m-Mobile-Phone/32833209044.html

BlitzWolf USB-A 3.0 to USB-C model BW-TC9. The description page says that it has a 56kΩ resistor, allows data transfers up to 5Gb/s, supports Quick Charge technologies up to 3A, and is sturdy enough to tow cars without breaking. Not that I would ever tow a car with an USB cable ...

Will update this post when the cables arrive and I test them.

__________

EDIT2: Cables have arrived, they're some fine piece of hardware. But the phone still refuses to charge at anything over ~5V and 1.45A. I've also ran another set of tests with a QC3.0 compliant car charger, to no avail - still charges at ~5V and 1.45A. I'm starting to believe that it's some problem with either the phone itself or the ROM/firmware.

Hi everyone.

I have

Android 9 + TWRP 323 + Magisk 16.7 + Magisk.apk

Root checker said that I have root.

SolidExplorer and Root Explorer can read root directory but cannot delete/write files in system directory.

Titanium Backup works good and restore applications.

What is wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] borxnx:
It's working fine for me. I just added a folder to /system, then added a text file to that directory, then edited the file without issue. Android 9, rooted using Magisk 16.7 Beta. Do the file explorers have root permission in Magisk?

One thing that happened to me the other day: I felt like an app (Fi Switch) wasn't properly prompting for root. I went into Magisk's root settings and changed the Automatic Response for root access to "Grant" from "Prompt". Went back to Fi Switch, did the thing that required root, and it worked. Checked Magisk again and it had now registered FiSwitch as a permitted root app. Then I changed the setting back to "Prompt" (not sure it really matters., but it feels safer lol).

It's almost like it just wasn't asking for root, then it was getting denied. Temporarily allowing it fixed it.

I have no idea why that worked for me, but maybe it'll work for you

Hi

Sooo on Firefox your website does not work correctly? - Are you aware of this? - If so how has this passed QA/testing and if not then why have you not tested a major browser for compatibility... :confused:

At first I thought I was being stupid but the login dropdown from the top has no text fields in Firefox so you'd have no idea theres supposed to be fields to enter instead theres a orange arrow pointing to blank space. :eek: ( I used chrome)

The register page is also broken.

Maybe my Firefox is messed up or do others experience this?
