Android 4.4 update delivered to Google: http://gigaom.com/2013/11/18/htc-one-kitkat-update-ready-delivered-to-google/
Mines fine
What app could we download to see if the readings are correct? Mine is fine.

define "mine is fine"
because is common that the thing that uses more battery is the screen, but in android 4.3 is android system, but I think the battery is not bad at all...
In the other hand:
- super smoth
- ir enable
- better bluetooth
- sixasis support
the only fault that I see in 4.3 GPE (beside the battery report) is the camera app, it is just not good =/

My definition just means i can use it all day without the bigbdrain sense 5 was giving me. (4.1.2). I guess I'll look more into it since I just flashed yesterday. Also for camera, at least for me, it works fine. Of all the phones I've owned I've never messed with the settings (filters, iso, etc) just because I've never needed to. Plus I have a DSLR camera to do that . but that's me.

I am thrilled with the 4.3 update. I have had zero issues and battery life is very solid. My wife finally took the plunge from her iPhone 4 and I picked her up a ONE yesterday. While settings hers up, I realized how much better Stock Android is just due to the smoothness and simplicity of it. In my opinion, Sense 5 is still the best manufacturer experience to date but it's still too cumbersome compared to plain ole Stock Android
My battery life seems to be decent. I don't notice much difference than when I was on sense. I do notice the high android usage but as gunny said, I think it's being misread as it doesn't seem to be having a negative impact.
Also I know some have mentioned low signal. Again its just the way its reported because last night I had two bars and I was pulling speeds in the 20,30,40mbps range. Which I think they must have upgraded some towers because here in NYC with all the network congestion I usually pull 9-15mbps on average(depending on location)

My only issue on 4.3 is a lower LTE signal. I am only getting 1 bar now, and I used to get 3-4. The battery is good, even with that weird bug.
Does GPE 4.3 still has the 3 dot menu button?
proximity sensor bug is back,
pulling phone away from my face doesn't turn the screen back on.

How often does this happen? I was on a call yesterday and I was testing the sensor and it was super sensitive I thought. I barely put my hand over it about 2 inches and it shut off the screen .

Yeah, 4.3 is all sacked. LTE ping is slow as a turtle. 4.2.2 everything was snappy. ADB doesn't work, screen off proximity sensor, when phone is off the charge animation doesn't work when rooted. Its not the root process. My nexus 4 & 7 have stock ROM and supersu installed.. No problems. What has HTC done!? Back to 4.2.2 I go. This 4.3 blows.
Look at this junk! Wow.. Horrible Horrible update. 4.2.2 was at 20-30% system this is at 80%+!?!? Horrific.

Regarding the proximity sensor bug, I briefly flirted with the complete Google Play edition conversion then decided to return to completely stock sense. I started blindly messing about with mids, cids , firmwares etc. I eventually managed to run RUU 1.28.401.7 successfully. :laugh:
I factory reset my device for good measure then proceeded to install every subsequent update and I am now on 2.24.401.1 and I factory reset my device after every update. Everything appeared good and I have set my device up again with what I would consider to be a very clean install of the stock sense rom.
......Then ring ring and there it is...the dreaded proximity sensor bug
How can this be??

My good buddy has the HTC One for AT&T. I rooted it for her and all was well. Next thing she finds out her proximity sensor borked. She called att and they went thru a process to see what the sensor was on.. The sensor should be at 50 and the reports came back that her sensor was at 0. Hearing more and more of this sensor bug, makes me think its more of a hardware fault. Its only a matter of time till the sensor completely flakes out and dies.

Here's why
LAG, way too laggy (even with airview, air gesture, multi view, s-voice all off)
No FM radio
Poor Data - seems a lot worse then S3
Thermostat un reliable reading thus point less
TouchWiz - just seems not quite finished
Touch screen sometime does not react.
headphone sound very poor and volume does not go all that high
Thinking of going for HTC One instead.

Doesn't your shower do that already?
Also I think he had a more nefarious use for checking temperature, specifically in his southern region after big bubba rampage on his butt last night.

Great decision, thanks for announcing it to the world.
As a result, I assume you won't be creating anymore threads in this forum!

Data always sucks on Android until you do some build.prop magic and get the speeds up to normal. Used to get 25mbps max before and after doing some tweaking I'm now almost constantly getting ~90mbps. Compared to my friend's S4 on the same exact 4G network, my speeds were almost double to what he was getting. My phone also switched to 4G in places where his phone stayed on 3G.
The same thing happened on the Nexus 4.
I'd also consider installing faux123's kernel before returning your phone, and applying some tweaks. Intellidemand + fiops + undervolt + Intelli-Plug (instead of MPDecision), takes care of most of the lag. :good: The HTC One definitely delivers a better experience out of the box, but I'd wait to see what google has in store first, as there's no phone faster than the Nexus 4 running a linaro 4.9 compiled rom. Also I doubt you'll have a better listening-experience on the One, as both have the same exact audio codec.
It's good enough for the head of Android at Google. I guess he has lower standards than folks on XDA. Or maybe he just doesn't know how to use it.
Q: Is it a problem for Google that Samsung is so dominant, and makes almost all the money on the platform?
A: I realize this gets played up in the press a lot. Samsung is a great partner to work with. We work with them on pretty much almost all our important products. Here’s my Samsung Galaxy S4.

Lag is terrible and not being mentioned often enough for the new buyers who should be warned.
Reminds me of early days of laggy Galaxy S (one) before lag fixed ROMs arrived.

Maybe you've got a defective unit or a much heavy apps (like anti-virus) running in the background because mine doesn't do that. The only time I noticed lag was when I returned from a heavy app (like NFS Most Wanted) to the homescreen, but the first update I received fixed that.

And you think the HTC One is free from different issues?

You can easily make your S4 lag free by disabling animations and transitions in developer options.

Attached my build.prop below. I think the speed improvements largely depend on the carrier, but do try it. Just copy the build.prop to /system/ and change the permission to rw-r--r--(chmod 644). Reboot.

Hello everyone, a few days ago i posted a question regarding the proximity sensor staying on all the time, even with every gesture option turned off. After trying several stock ROMs and a couple of different S4, all of them have the same issue. I have to note tho that with every ROM previous to MG5, the sensor stays on all the time, and when using the MG5 India ROM the sensor is off, except while using the stock browser, when it turns on after a few minutes, or after making a phonecall the sensor stays on and it only turns off restarting the phone.
This is seriously very weird. I have had many phones, and i've never seen anything like this. Just in case, i want to remark that every single gesture option, auto screen brightness and eye scroll and all those functions were disabled. Every single one. I even thought it could be i had a faulty phone, but i tried two more and they do exactly the same. Has anyone noticed this using a custom ROM? It's easier to see using another's phone camera.

Samomamo thanks a lot for your reply, but if you read what i said and what says in that post, we're talking about completely different things. In that post the guy had a problem with the sensor not working. I never said it didn't work, it works perfectly, it just stays on (aka, you can see a dim red light coming from it) but it works without any problems. Besides, he ended up having a defective phone, and like I said above, i tried 3 phones, from different companies, one of them brand new, and all of them had the same behaviour so I think i can safely discard a hardware problem (unless all three phones were defective, which is unlikely to happen).
Still, thanks for your reply!!:good:

This is very strange, I also have stock browser as my primary browser running mg5 but I don't see the proximity sensor light going up (even in darkness). I do web browsing and reading for hours. Is this how you see your proximity sensor light showing slight red? I am still figuring out what you said and will confirm my own findings later today. Will update.

Alright. Here are my own findings.
Stock MG5 i9500.
First of all, you are right. The proximity sensor does light up when everything is turned off. Literally Smart feature and even smart pause is turned off. So the proximity sensor shouldn't be turned on in the first place. Now that this is clear, Here is what I've found so far.
Bug present in stock browser, not in chrome. The way it turns on the proximity sensor is that as soon as you type any URL in the address bar and press enter, the sensor gets turned on and stays like that unless and until:
-You pull down the notification bar
OR
-Press home button and run the browser again (notice that the browser is still in RAM so we aren't restarting the app).
Then (assuming you have the website already open). You can browse all you want within the website pressing links and what not. But as soon as you use the address bar again, the sensor wakes up again. This is seriously strange and definitely a bug from the software end and not the hardware end.
LAMESUNG is prolly too busy releasing note3 and Galaxy Godzilla 20". So we don't know when will we see the fix for this. Let's hope on the 4.3 update after a couple months.
@ Everyone trying custom Roms and kernals.
Please confirm this if you experience this same issue.

Plasmastate thank you for testing it. My phone does exactly the same thing you described. One more thing. Look at the sensor through a digital camera or another's phone camera and you'll see it's always on although you can't see it with your bare eyes. The most weird thing is my brother has an iphone 5 and it has the same issue after recent software updates. This is well catalogued in apple forums. Strange huh?

I just noticed you guys have custom kernels/roms, so obviously this is a stock rom bug. I should also add that the phone works flawlessly. There's no excessive battery consumption or lag or anything and the sensor works fine.

Are the sensors working when you have a third-party launcher? I use Apex launcher and none of the sensors is working. Even when using the stock TW, some of the sensors are not working also.
Using the factory test mode, all sensors are working.
All sensor work fine. I tested another S4, it has the sensor on all the time aswell. This is seriously very weird
The problem seems to be dirt. I used one of those "webcam microscopes" to take some pictures of the sensors and frant facing camnera. It appears that some units have a sealing problem on these components and they may get pretty dirty.

The front facing camera can get pretty disgusting.
I didnt have time to open it up and clean yet, but I will post the results as soon as I do.
I confirm that the problem comes from dust. Some people has said that it can be solved using a can of compressed air in the earphone in order to blow dust away.
I have done the solution of the can of compressed air two months ago and I have solve it. I haven't that problem since that time.

I am on 4.3, Russian Update. Today, after installing Cm 11 the proximity bug was no more there. So I don't think compressed can air will do any good. Have tried all means possible to reports this to Samsung but it seems Samsung bluntly does not want to hear any of it customers complaints as they are busy with Galaxy s5. below is a screen of the proximity bug before I flashed cm11
As of the Official Update of Jelly Bean 4.3 has been started to Rolling out, the users who have installed started using it. So if you find any bug pls report here so Others can be saved.
As far am using it more than 24 hrs,
- Touchwiz is still bit laggy
- Few app including XDA app is getting FC
- Ram usage is high
- Battery is same
- Opening and closing of app is taking bit more time
- Still Finding
Is it worth the update or should I wait?
Stock browser with quick controls and full screen enabled doesn't hide the nav bar properly... A bug since first leak.
4.3 Consumes 1.3gb to 1.7gb ram never lower than 1gb. Same in s4. I prefer 4.1.2 its faster

With about 90 apps installed, of which BBM, WhatsApp, Vonage, LBE Security Master, Greenify, CSipSimple, Google+ and KeepScreenOn run all the time in addition to the usual stuff like TW, Messaging, GMS that runs with Android, My RAM usage with MK4 is 784MB. I don't find any lag in TW or in any of the games I play (except Ingress, of course - but that is an app issue).
I of course have rooted, disabled a bunch of stuff from loading automatically at boot, and frozen Sammy crap that I don't want or use. And no Knox.
XDA App is working perfectly fine, deep sleep seems to pretty good - lost 1% overnight after 2 recharge cycles. Auto Brightness is cranky at times - sometime stuck at lowest or brightest - but returns back to sanity after a display off-on.
Overall there is nothing new or extraordinary in the MK4 version from what we have seen in the leaks - except of course the knox status in the bootloader (I didnt care about it as am out of warranty anyways).
Haven't tried the stock browser with quick controls+full screen though, I rely on Chrome...
Xposed Framework with Wanam's module, per app dpi setting, message notification to toast, and then some more - all works great.

Can I ask, I just need some clarification: are you running a stock version or a custom ROM?
If it is the stock, which Open version are you using?

This is a stock ROM, the only changes being removing the Knox related apk and rooting. I'm not sure what you mean by open, can you explain on it?
Any of you having issues with official rom should join me in using DN3 custom rom for note 2 with a bunch of note 3 features and very few bugs.

I am running that ROM at the moment, and to be honest, as much as I love it, there is still the issue with the screen off when the phone is in use, And the leg you get upon finishing the call itself.
Apart from that, is a fantastic update.
Major update but with few bugs.
When installing an app from play store, the downloading process is smooth but just when the installation is about to complete there are frame drops for a second or two and it really annoys me as a heavy play store user.
Frame drops and touchwiz!!! Brother's for life!!!

I'm getting the odd FC, but it's very rare. I had to force a reboot twice since upgrading, but I've also been using my device like crazy and installing a lot of apps as i test this new firmware.
My only real gripe is that bringing up the multitasking list (long press home key)takes longer than before.

I upgraded to the INU ROM that got released - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=21880 - that is open India I guess (and there is no other 4.3 official ROM released yet? At least that's what Sammobile says...)
Code:
Model: GT-N7100
Country: India
Version: Android 4.3
Changelist: 2099172
Build date: Sun, 10 Nov 2013 06:00:26 +0000
Product Code: INU
PDA: N7100XXUEMK4
CSC: N7100ODDEMK1
MODEM: N7100DDEMJ9
And yes, I voided my Knox bootloader warranty - because I bought the phone from Singapore and didnt have India warranty anyway. And the phone is more than a year old too...
I see a delay in the caller number or name getting displayed when someone calls me (ringtone sounds, but screen is blank), but then that's nothing that can't be fixed with a build.prop edit.
I dont have a lag anywhere, at least nothing I can find - I have made a few tweaks to the PegasusQ parameters though (reduced freq_step from the default 37% to 5% so that all the frequencies of the CPU are used, Set the cpu_up_rate to 12 and cpu_down_rate to 16, set the hot plug frequencies to 600-400, 800-600, 1000-800 and hot plug run queues to 175-175, 275-275 and 375-375, down_differential to 10, sampling_down_factor to 1 nd sampling_rate to 30000) based on my experience with earlier stock and non-stock kernel performance.
I'm overall happy about the update, though we could have been shown some more love from the S4 / Note3 devices
Clipboard options have been removed and multiwindow isn't working.

Anyone have an issue with their accelerometer/gyro on their 6P? I'm thinking mines faulty, the first sign was Google Fit, telling me I've done 45,000 steps in a day (when Moto Body said I've done 5,000! which is realistic)...
Next I noticed that my Live Wallpaper Minima wasnt very smooth in its motions and kept on freaking out even when held as still as I could. It had always worked perfectly on the old Nexus 6.
The phone works fine in general & rotates fine etc. It just seems extremely jumpy. Anyone else having this same issue?
I spoke to Google and they're sending a replacement.
Heres a video of the issue:
I'll post a reply to confirm the replacement device has fixed the issue.
Hey Dyna. I'm Josh, the developer of Minima. I'm currently looking into what might be causing this issue, as I've received maybe ten complaints from various 6P and 5X users over the past couple weeks about the jumpy tilt effect. The fact that it's spread across both devices makes me think it has more to do with how the system handles sensor updates on Marshmellow, rather than a particular device flaw.
Either way, I should have an update out soon to deal with the issue. I hope it will be as simple as smoothing out the incoming raw sensor data. If you'd like to discuss further you can reach me at [email protected].
Hi Josh
I have a new 6P arriving tomorrow, but possibly not required if other people are having the same issue, unless its a more common hardware fault as not everyone will use similar wallpaper or Google Fit so may go unnoticed. I had a Nexus 6 prior to the 6P and it worked perfectly with Marshmellow and Minima.
I love Minima btw!
I had this problem as well, as Josh said it may be an app issue if we're all having the same problem.
Same problem as you but:
Having the same problem and noticed it the same way (Minima). I tried a random compass app and it was really finicky. At first I thought my gyroscope/accelerometer was defective but just now I tried Doodle Jump, which works fine. Now I'm just confused.

I can think of several reasons why some apps would work and others wouldn't. For one, the app can choose certain types of sensors for this info (gravity vs accelerometer) and certain delays (UI vs Game vs Fastest). It could also have to do with how the sensor registration process starts per app. I've tried different combos with no luck.
I really hope it's in my code, because then I can fix it and all's well. If it's a sensor problem though...:crying:
I published a fix for this last night, let me know if any of you are having a better experience now, and if so which device is working better or not.

Yeah I got it this morning, it's working much better. I still get the odd jolt, not a full glitch where it would freak out but a small jolt where it will stop for a fraction then catch up again. To be honest it may had done it on the Nexus 6, but I just never paid that much attention to it.
This is on both my 6P's, the original one that made me start this thread & my new RMA. It works perfectly on both, so maybe it was a software issue all along. I havent it long enough to see how Google Fit behaves, I wouldnt had thought your app would have had any impact on Google Fit?

It wasn't really a problem with Minima. Minima has been using the Gravity Sensor since last year, which is a combination of accelerometer and gravity data on the device. It's more accurate than just accel usually, which is why I used it. It looks like the gravity data can get buggy on the 6p and 5x, so I reverted to just using the accelerometer and things seem to have smoothed out.
So apps using gravity may get whacked out, while apps using only accel (like Doodle Jump) might be just fine. I can't say for sure, all I know is the switch seems to have worked well enough. I'm still continuing research in hopes that I'll find something more concrete.

I think I have also worked out why my Google Fit registers a stupid amount of steps. I dont fully understand why as none of my previous phones have done this...
I use Daydream mode as a bedside clock, which I've done for years, but for some reason on the 6P, if I do this it'll clock up as much as 40,000 steps overnight!
Heres this morning so far... I've been up about 2hrs and not even left the house:

I have the same issue with my 6P, you can clearly see that accelerometer is weird by using apps like star chart, or try viewing photospheres in a VR mode, you'll see that it just randomly like crazy

Minima Live Wallpaper. I'm using a different sensor configuration on Android 6.0 to work around the faulty gravity sensor data the 5x and 6p are generating.

Yeah, just sitting idle the 5x shows a lot of jumpiness. I can see how it's logging that as steps.
So I was having the same issues with my Nexus 6P, spoke with Google Support and ended up getting my device replaced. I just received my new replacement device today and this one is still having the same exact issues.
On further testing using the Street View app, I've noticed that when I switch to Cardboard View it tracks perfectly, it's only the photo-sphere view that will not track my movements; it either won't spin at all or spins wildly by itself. Anyone have technical data on what the Cardboard viewer uses to track movement versus standard photo-sphere?
My phone started messing up also after I updated to MDB08L on Nov 11. I got my phone November 9th and the step counts were normal until then. My UP app has me walking over 200,000 steps yesterday and 75000 today when I normally average 12000. This is using the phone sensors. My android wear watch has normal counts. I also use the daydream app at night but the trends graph in the UP app have me doing 30 - 70000 steps in a 5 to 10 minute span while my phone is not Daydreaming. I'll be waiting to see if your RMA'd phone has the same problem.
OP: Which build are you on?
---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------
Also the Google Sky app is very jittery as compared to my 2013 Moto X. But photosphere is relatively smooth.
I just installed and so experiencing issues... any fix yet?

I just tried photosphere on streetmaps and although it doesn't spin on its own or anything and tracks my angular shifts as I do them, it does seem to consistently show 'micro jitter' like it has parkinsons. I'm just gonna check my Z3 and see if it has the same jitteriness there and update this post. And as a side note, if this pans out to be true, then at risk of sounding retarded, I wonder if this same issue has been why electronic stabilisation is not at optimum on the 6P.
I got a replacement and it also has the same issues... I wonder if it's a software problem
too bad I updated android as soon as I turned it on, so I can't verify if it was working before MDB08L... any easy way to rollback to verify it?

I got mine just over 2 weeks ago now, I accepted an OTA straight away. I think it was from MDA89D to MDB08K & I noticed the issue straight away. I'm now on MDB08M and its still got the same issue.
I have raised the issue with Google support and the guy I spoke to said he'd raise it for me. Hopefully its just a software issue that'll be fixed in the next OTA update.
If anyone wants to roll back to the original image, you can flash the factory images here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en as standard it'll wipe everything inc your pics etc, you can get around this by not flashing userdata.img.
Hi to every lucky body that get android 7 final.i made this topic to share your results in android 7 and compare with yours in android 6..like camera..battery..speed..tanx and hope to be usefull and active topic??????
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Well, it's a tiny bit snappier, and a tiny bit faster overall.
The battery is better; I get 3:45 to 4 hours SOT in auto brightness, full location services with wireless scanning, google now on, google cards on, hot word on from any screen... the full google experience, for short.
It's better than I had with a variety of mods and ROMs on Marshmallow.
I especially enjoy the new notification center. I can read numerous full messages and emails right from the notification slide. Quite awesome.
And I thank the gods of Google for removing the stupid enlarged tiles for Wireless and Bluetooth, the most annoying feature ever.
Battery is not bad for stock but I get the feeling with all mods and tweaks and kernels and such android M was a bit better...
But it would be unfair to compare those two as M has been worked on for a year now... N is fresh out of the box so let's wait and see how much battery can be improved.
Other than that N is very fluent and fast. Up to now also very stable and offers some important options that used to be mods some years ago.
Camera... And such... Did not really compare but would expect them to be similar...

I haven't tried N yet, but I was reading a comment on Slashdot that led me to believe, that it included something similar to CM13 privacy manager ? Is this true? Do you now get to choose what apps get access to? Can you block them from wireless, cellular data?
^ This feature alone made me upgrade the wife's and kids tablets from Nexus 7s to Nexus 7 (2013)s so I could put them on CM13.

No, but you can do that from Data Usage in Settings, in M as well.
I've been using it for 2 days now. The doze feature is way better than that of M. I've noticed certain performance boost in games like asphalt 8 as the game used to lag after thermal throttling was active in M.
The usage is very very smooth, feels very light. I mostly love the quick settings panel as because it looks and is well organised than the previous version. It's just an initial build and its quite stable. I would say I am impressed and good to go with 7.0.
Well this was my perspective.
I think charging while screen is on is improved. Can someone confirm?

Not entirely sure... NExus 5x has quite some struggle with charging when screen on.
Under M there was almost no charging when screen was on and you did some browsing...
Might be slightly better under N... though I havent tested it long enough to confirm... Charging basically stopped when you used your phone constantly and not just for writing a text under M...
Nope, seems same like before.

I tested it while playing a game (8 ball pool, not a resource intensive app) and the percentage went up atleast 2 to 3 % in roughly 5-10 minutes. It seems that it is improved. But we still need someone to look through the kernel's code or run a reliable test!
I have it on my 5x since it dropped was on dp5 before that. Official seems smoother don't really use the 5x since I got the s7.
I'm actually seeing what seems to be worse battery performance. I've eliminated a few apps that were troublesome, but it looks like the battery is draining faster than on "M". I'm hoping that it's simply a problem with the crappy cell signal in my office - my connection bounces between 27 different towers and it's still crappy at best.
Atleast for me, I can confirm that charging while screen on is finally fixed. Hail hydra!
As previously stated, it feels a lot snappier and lighter being on Nougat as opposed to Marshmallow. Quick Settings are better overall, especially when you're able to add custom quick tiles via apps in the Play Store. Only complaint about the Quick Settings is that the Wifi and Bluetooth used to toggle on press, then open mini settings when you clicked the text. Now it just opens mini settings. I can get used to that, though.
Oh, and I still hate the white background in the settings app. Haven't found any Layers themes that work well yet. If anybody else finds one, let me know.

Important, there are sorta probs about Substratum and Android N, such as make sure you wont apply it to Chrome and Documents for example. You'd get instant force close. And if there's any other app like that, you need to make sure it is off the list to get themed.
