    I just downloaded it last night. Noticing a pretty significant improvement in battery life today, but I've also noticed a very slight delay when I'm typing. Think another poster mentioned that as well.

    Really like the look of it though. I'm a sucker for a nice bright colour.

    How come? Sense 6 is a nice improvement but the home screen speed can't match the speed of Nova surely?
    !

    I use a stock quote widget that never updates properly on Nova. Lived with it until Sense 6 came out and liked it so switched. Widget works perfect now.

    I did a factory reset and didn't restore all my apps and it fixed that slight delay. Clearly one of my old apps doesn't work well with Sense 6 on this phone but I'm not sure which, so I'm just going to reinstall them as I need them and see if any of them slow it down again.

    Oh cool. I only have about a dozen apps so I'll try that as well

    Not sure if it's the update but took my phone off charge around 7 and with very light use its already done to 73%. Anyone any suggestions?

    My M7's battery has always been poor , I've done a factory reset and no change , I get random days where it's good , but generally it drains .

    Htc announced that when Android L comes out it will be pushed to HTC One M7 & M8 within 90 days. Which is nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 429 ✭✭Thomasofmel


    My battery drain issue on M7 was fixed with the Sense 6.0 update, the phone will still have +50% battery after the day, which is great.

    Hi guys. Hoping some one hear can help. When I use headphones with the phone I am only getting sound out of one of the ear buds. Its definitely not the headphones as I have tried using them on other devices and they work fine. Any ideas?

    looking at a lot of the new graphical features of Android L, it looks very similar to how Sense 6 looks now!

    Sounds like what happens if you don't push the headphones all the way in. I'm assuming you've already checked this, which suggests the headphone adapted in the phone could be goosed..

    Yes the headphone jack is definitely pushed in all the way.

    Do you reckon would this be covered by warranty?

    Night just be fluff in the headphone jack? Happens all the time to me when it's in my pocket. Make sure you give it a proper clean before you bother sending it off.

    Anybody notice a little triangle with exclamation mark appearing up beside battery saver icon when sending texts since 4.4 and Sense 6 upgrade ?
    Texts get sent successfully. On Meteor aswell !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,489 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod


    Is this phone only available in the metal grey colour in Ireland? I checked meteor, emobile and three websites and they only have that colour? I had the the previous One in the light silver and would want this one in that colour too. Have the white 5s now but I'm interested in a change back to android now with L coming up.

    had the same issue myself, the amount of fluff that gathered in the jack was fairly surprising. i was picking it out with a paperclip for sometime. all back to normal now

    Sense 6 has dramatically changed my battery life for the good.

    I made great use of the extreme power saving mode today. It clicked in by default at 20% before heading to work at 08:00. Power cut in the office all morning and a fair number of text messages and calendar reminders throughout morning and it was at 11% when I plugged it in at 14:00.

    where exactly is this extreme power saving mode located?

    Settings -> power.

    I have ticked automatically turn on and 20%

    I have added the toggle to the quick settings drop down too.

    It cripples the phone to basic gsm functions and only htc apps which is a little pita as I use the gmail app instead of email but it works fine.

    it ill be near dead at 6-7 when i get home from work and i dont use it that much.

    Zero difference in my battery life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,310 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    All the folks that are having battery issues, have you considered doing a run through of your apps.

    removing ones that you dont use etc, that may be just killing power with constant service requests.


    This in the main is why some people see huge differences in usage.

    Its all about what is installed on the device.

    Also power saving mode as above is designed to syphon these sorts of non essentials off the battery boob so to speak.

    Do you actually own a smartwatch ?

    I own a Pebble and find it very useful.
