I just purchased this HTC 8525 from a man on ebay. He has it upgraded to 6.0. Everything looks great except for a problem I am having. I will give an example: I was trying to put pictures on my contacts. When I click tap here to insert pic it brings up a grid with pics. When the grid shows up the first pic is highlighted like always. Now when I choose another pic they are both highlighted and I can choose neither of them. It is like I was holding the shift key on my pc and choosing a few files at a time. It does the same thing in my list of texts. If I get 2 texts and I can't choose one below the highlighted first one because they will both be highlighted and it won't open. Now it does not do it all the time, maybe 98% of the time. I hate it!
I have hard reset this twice and it hasn't helped.
I hope someone has an easy fix to this!

Does it do that if you move down a list of files by using the scroll wheel or the d/pad down arrow? AND, if not can you then select the file by pushing in the scroll wheel or the central button on the d/pad?

Hello fellow guinea pigs !
I've been waiting ages for thgis phone and i'm preparred to work through the issues rather than send it back. I've noticed it has a few more bugs than my garden shed. Maybe we can list them and togerther suss out if we can overcome them.
1. Won't update/seach or tweet via the twitter app, autocollect email or load facebook pages via 3G. Works fine via wifi though. Updates weather and internet browing is fine on both though.
UPDATE works fine with a T-Mobile sim. Must be a Vodafone issue.
2. Can only update lockscreen background from YOURE pictures, not the HTC background folder. Despite the default being from the HTC File.
there was another, forgot, i'll come back. i've got a few bugs too!
What version of android are you running?
Mine has none of thos bugs all the problem you said are working fine for me.
I don't know if this is correct but my software version is: 1.0.0.A6288 (if that makes sense)
1. No IMAP folder prefix option in mail - well none that I can find!
2. All the custom bookmarks I save are saved with a zoomed in screenshot so they all look stupid on the thumbnail view.
How's everyone's "people" facebook integration?
It has the potential to be so amazing and yet at the moment it seems to be a bit on and off. Just had a scare after sync 100+ contacts doing the "link facebook profile" as all the pictures disappeared.
When you click update I not really sure what it does but it takes forever!
Hopefully fixed by software updates :S?

I know it has a few problems right now, but give the phone a chance, HTC are working on a lot of the initial bugs and I'm sure they'll provide a software update to resolve these issues.
biggest prob ive found is when on a call the screen goes black
now wot button do you press to wake the phone up ? oh the ------- yep you got it no more phone call so how do you wake up the screen while on a call ?
Yeah the disappearing Facebook pictures is really annoying, they disappear in batches though... Each picture persists for about 24 hours before disappearing... Very weird behaviour. You can then re-add them by editing the contact and reapplying their picture "from facebook".
I will be REALLY peeved if they don't fix this in an update... (and soon!!) -- can we just try and determine exactly how many people are experiencing this issue (i.e. is it everyone?) -- and is it just me or does the People list scroll really poorly...? Very jerky, not at all smooth like some of the other lists.
And to add to your bugs -- I have found the "manage applications" to take AGES to load (much of the time) i.e. longest is in excess of 30 seconds, quickest is 3-4 seconds, not quite sure why, as my brother has a Magic and it loads in ~2 secs every time...

Sound's like my wife's problem... If you're on TMob, get them to test your Internet Plus provisioning. I had no such problem on mine...

Seen one or two glitches, but nothing I can pin down yet!
I LOVE this phone.
One annoyance: When looking through facebook photos via "Albums" you can do anything other than share a link via email, having a save as or set as button would be awesome!
Pressing and holding the home button to bring up the list of running programs removes the home button association to the senseUI. When you next press the home button it asks whether you want touchflo3d or standard android home.

This doesn't happen on mine. None of the methods anyone has mentioned like this seem to work on my hero. (orange version)

I've had my Hero for 36 hours now, and this is one of the more noticable bugs I've come across so far - highly irritating, as I'm used to using the Home button long-press a lot...

same here.
Found another problem with the HTC mail app...
1. Regardless of what username I put in the smtp setup screen, after it validates the settings it changes the username to my pop username and password so I can't send email - baring in mind I get no sort of error messages very poor!
My word does the mail app need some more time in the oven, considering its just based of the standard Google e-mail app which has none of these setup problems. All they seem to have done is make - let's face it - an already poor app worse!

yer me neither. I didn't know you could hold down home to view that though. Is a good addition! and can always keep Taskiller running so easy to properly quit apps.
hopefully the first firmware update will solve all these issues .
Anyone have the issue where on the homescreen, with the HTC music and calender widget, whenever i paused on a particular screen with them on, the white text would be there for about 2 seconds, then disappear...?
Very odd. Although a soft reset seemed to solve it.
O one more thing, I LOVE the capacitive screen, the keyboard has really been worked on. (would be nice to have a proper " ? ") button though always find myself holding down k to get that which slows down typing time.
Weirdly I can't seem to set the screen brightness! Its greyed out in the display options. When I hook it up to adb on my PC I see lots of "ERROR/HardwareService(60): GetPreferredValue (settings.display.brightness, 102) failed!" messages.
EDIT: I have an unlocked white one BTW

Have you ticked the box directly above it called 'Disable auto backlight'?
once this is ticked, you should be able to manually set the brightness.
And i can't get the home bug to occur either. brown sim free running 1.76.405.6
First off, i did use the search on the forum and didnt find any clues! :/
google search terms were:
+hd2 +leo insert picture message email slow storage card site:http://forum.xda-developers.com
My problem is whenever i need to attach pictures to an email i take ages because accessing the pictures folder on storage card from "tmail.exe" is extremely SLOW! And on top of that i need to do it ONE by ONE! (i only have about 100 pics)
Is it my HD2 or it happens with you guys too? Is there any solution or way around it? I tried to see if there was any CACHE tweak for this problem but with no sucess!
Thanks in advance for all your anwsers!

instead of attaching a pic to an email, go to the picture u want, tap the screen once, tap on the double arrows icon,which gives u the email option, go from there.

Yes...but the problem persists if you want to add more than one picture...! Yesterday i took 5 minutes to add 6 pics...and i didnt even wait for the thumbnail to show, nor needed to scroll down the list or else i would have wasted several "5 minutes"....
ok. listen. it is quite simple...
open album, stay in thumbnail mode, press 'menu' (right onscreen soft key), 'share', 'mail', select pictures by pressing their thumbnail, 'ok' (left soft key).
how cool is that??

THAT IS VERY COOL!!! Thanks a lot...!!!
I just dont understand why cant we access with this ease, through mail app itself! But ok..this workaround suits me (and everybody, i think..)!!!
This has happened twice today. I am using the phone and the voice typing display will not go away. I can use the phone.. .i can go to the homescreen, open apps, look at settings, etc, but i cannot close the voice prompt, and i can't use it.
It essesentially makes the phone useless until i reboot.
I am not sure why it is doing this. Not rooted nor unlocked or anything.. just stock.
The other thing it is doing is that sometimes when i wave my hand over the screen i will see the unlock screen. it will have the time and a lock icon below it ... if i touch the lock icon, it moves to a lower (on the screen) position and when i re adjust to hit the lock again it moves back up. Not sure how to screen shot this... maybe a video from a different phone.
when this happens, it will unlock by pressing the power button. I think this has something to do with the smart lock. DAMN google for forcing you to have a lock when you use Android Pay. Never had this problem on my Note 4 with Wallet.
Anyway, any help on either of these bugs would be appreciated
ok, i can reproduce the bug.
can someone else try this to confirm?
- with the phone screen off have someone send you a text message.
- swipe up directly to messages. ( use the google one, but i am not sure if it matters.)
- reply to the message with a google voice typing
- hit the power button to turn off the screen.
- Have the person text you again.
- open message by swiping up to it.
At this point the tap to speak screen will be there and not go away until you reboot.
no one else?
here is a video showing the problem I can't believe I am the only one experiencing this

I can try it when I get my phone, but that's a few weeks away...
Hi,
First of all, my home button don't work correctly. When I do a simple click and a long click, absolutely nothing happens. But if I do a double click, it does work fine.
Secondly, some overlays don't comes up, like notification or volume changing pop-up or Facebook messenger chat heads just showing the wallpaper not the chat.
Finally, when I receive links from message or mail and click on it and it opens chrome (it's the default one) but it doesn't open the link.
Sometimes ago, I had just the 2 first problems. And just by restarting my phone all was gone.
But now I get all the 3 problems. I tried to factory reset my phone and it fixed the problem but then I had to restart my phone. And all the problems were back.
I got the galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005) with the firmware N9005XXUGBOJ2.
Thank you in advance for the help
