**(SOLVED)**I have a slight problem that started recently with my phone, and was hoping someone would know a possible solution or have heard of something similar.(before i go on, i have searched around the forum for a while, and saw no issue that is very similar)
Firstly, i have the stock htc/at&t rom, stock radio, basically everything out of the box aside from a bunch .cabs and games.
Basically, on my today screen, in the top right corner it displays the network coverage (i.e. 3G, HSPDA, EDGE, etc...), the volume setting of my phone(ring, vibe, silent), the battery icon, and the task manager.
Currently, the battery status indicator says full, however when i touch it and the battery power remaining screen comes up it shows 55%.
What i have figured out has happened is that the battery icon in the top right will display whatever charge the battery is at when i turn on my phone, for example if my phone is plugged into a charger and i turn on the phone, until i reset my phone it will display it as being plugged in. So while once i click on it - it will show me the correct battery power remaining, the actual icon itself is not working properly.
[its not so much the that it not working affects me very much, its the fact that it should be working and isnt is quite irritating]
currently the .cabs i have installed are:
HTC home customizer
Pandora Touch 3G dialer
A_C S2U2 (slide to unlock)
pocketmax quote today
jizy HTC action screen
HTC HTC Plus
Spb Time
HTC HTC Home
Of those, i have narrowed it down to probably being cause by the Slide to Unlock program, 3G dialer, or the HTC home customizer, but these are just guesses based on the time i installed the .cabs(usually do a few at a time), and when i noticed the problem started occuring.
As well i might mention that the .cabs i installed might not be the most up-to-date, so if anyone knows that an older version of a cab i have produced a similar problem, than it might be because i have that older version. like i said i have searched for a solution to this problem, but haven't had any successful results.
thanks.

did you ever install the battery icon installs from the thread below?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289003
also you can check this registry key...
HKLM/securoty/resover/bitmaps
If you have 2 keys in there titled "BatteryIconIdStart" and "BatteryIconLevels", that could also be the issue.
Let me know if you have either of these keys in your registry.
Solved
tnx for the suggestions guys, but i found the problem to be in the Touch 3g dialer(not sure exactly where).
Uninstalled and problem is fixed.
So a word of warning, Don't Install The Touch Dialer. lol.

I am having the same problem... just uninstaller the touch dialer, but unfortunatley, did not seem to fix the problem. I'll try reinstalling the battery status icon's mentioned above as well (I had previously installed them) in the morning... but for now need to get to sleep. I would like to know if anyone else using the touch dialer is having this issue though.
Greetings all,
I got switched from iPhone 3GS to N1 a couple of days back in Malaysia and once i started using it find some things annoying..
- Phone gets really hot when connected to power plug
- Earphones are wierd fit and uncomfortable
- The ringer volume is very LOW. I miss lot of calls when I sleep and missing an alarm is the worst of it.!!!
Doesnt look like the only one seeing these. Googled quite a bit and seems to be common problems. Need advise from the members here on how they worked around this?
Got this from a colleague of mine, who said he rooted it before handing it off. what does it mean? And I need a good screen protector too!!
Thanks a lot to you all in advance. looking forward to lot of tips from this forum.

- My GPS doesnt work properly either. do i have to install any app? google didnt help.
- How do I get rid of the finger prints made already.?
Rooting will fix your low call volume and make it too loud if anything. It looks like you're rooted, so just install cyanogen ROM.
hmm, i have been avoiding root... but one of my complaints is the call volume and ring volume.... I miss more calls then i am use to...
rooting helps this?
Hello Guys,
before Froyo it was possible do "disable" the Car mode by deleting the CarHome.apk.
But since Froyo, if you delete this apk, the Phone still switches to CarMode in the CarDock....
And maybe thats a reason for the loudness problem in the Cardock...
Does anyone know how i can disable the Carmode Completely?
thanks a lot
Install "dock nothingness" from market.
Also you have posted in the wrong forum. If it is a question, it goes to Q&A forum.
ive noticed as well, since 2.2 i havent been able to adjust the audio when it is docked in the car, is that just me? I use audiomanagerpro but i also tried to adjust the media volume from the settings menu as well
I'm so happy to KILLED the evil Car Mode - here's how
Car Mode would pop up constantly on my HTC Incredible 2. It had nothing to do with the usb. Most times, the phone wasn't even plugged it and Car Mode would still pop up and Yes, I could click on it and disable it. For about 5 secs, then it was back. The worst part was that it would force-close the program that I was in to launch. It took me about 8 hours of research. Car Mode is a system app, and therefore can not be removed like other applications. You have to root your phone then delete, freeze or rename. Ok by me, but rooting apparently isn't stable yet for the Incredible 2 if you have a later os version than 2.2. Guess what? I have 2.3. No problem, how do i revert. Oh, i find out, you can't without resetting the phone to factory, which by the way is what verizon support suggested. I thought not before I back up, but lo and behold you can't back up more than contacts and pics without rooting. Arrrrgh! Next, I looked for an app to help me battle this devil Car Mode, so I tried apps from Amazon and market:
Advanced task killer Free
Astro
Gemini App Manager
Dock Nothingness
Dock no-op
Disable car home
and NONE of them worked, at least not for the Incredible 2.
I had a new idea, if you can't beat them, join them so I installed the latest version of Car Dock Home, hoping that at least it would give the option to not launch. Nope, didn't work. Luckily, I'm good at my job just because I don't give me 'easily'. Anyway, finally on my 14th try, I used 'DockNothing Free' from Amazon. At first, I didn't think this worked either. There was no input screen or settings but that's because the app doesn't initiate until the Car Mode launches, then it allows you to choose to select DockNothing as the default program. I had to do that 3 times: 1) Car Panel 2)Car Dock 3)Home Dock. Now I actually see a little popup that says 3 tasks killed. YEA!
Sorry for the long post, but I'll bet if you're here, you are going crazy because of Car Mode. And I read a lot more than just this much to get mine fixed.
ps. Car Mode actually looks pretty neat and seems useful IN THE CAR. But I have been too afraid to release the monster to check it out. I might at the next update. Might....
interesting, i love car mode in the car, no idea why yours is coming up while not in one lol
patience, htcdev website just released the unlock bootloader over the web for the uk sensation today, should probably hit for the other htc phones soon
Im having the same issue here on a desire z.. The Dock nothingness and simmilar applications doesn't help with the "car mode" at all
it just replaces the "Car Home" App
It's the "Car Mode" that is the problem for me atleast.
when the phone enters/exits car mode the phone always returns to the homescreen.
Any progress on disabling this?
I got rid of it on my Desire by adding a shortcut to the homescreen and choosing Settings > Car Dock and then unticking Auto Launch. I never saw car mode again so it either fixed it or it was a coincidence.
I used to do this all the time on my TyTN 2, but I still haven't been able to get it working on my N1. I use GPS to navigate on my bike, where I can't plug it in to charge and there is no cradle. I keep my phone in my pocket, and listen to the directions in one ear on my headphones. It was pretty easy to turn off the screen of my WM and keep the GPS running, keeping the battery use down. On my N1, I haven't found any way to kill the screen without killing the GPS app. This makes it impractical for navigating around Jakarta, where I might kill my battery sitting in traffic with the screen on. Is there any way to turn off the screen without locking everything up?
Thanks for your help.
this annoys me too, and i both love it and hate it. currently there is no way you can do this without altering the maps code. the onPause obviously seems to be programmed to suspend the GPS signal when activity loses focus, and nothing short of changing that code i imagine would fix this issue.
though i do commend google for how they set android up to function this way, its different and novel, but i dont ALWAYS necessarily like it, like this situatino in particular.
I don't understand the problem. I turn the screen off all the time.
I don't have a car dock, so I start navigation and place the phone on the seat beside me, I turn the screen off to save battery and then just listen to the directions all the way to my destination.
Never had a problem.
And I've used the My Tracks program to track my mountain hikes, screen off and in my pocket.
Both ways worked both before and after I rooted and installed CyanogenMod.

weird everytime i've turned off the screen i believe the GPS disconnects, which can be seen as soon as the screen is turned back on and it reaquires the lock. even in maps if it briefly lsoes foreground focus the GPS signal stops. perhaps i never tested enough during actual navigation, but i thought this is what happened to me. hmmm
Well, try Navigation and My Tracks. I've gotten some pretty detailed longer (3-5 hour) hikes mapped. The screen was off the whole time.
And I've probably used Navigation with the screen off at least 10 times. And some trips over 30 minutes. It always told me when to turn at the right time.
The GPS turns off if maps isn't in focus and I'm glad. It would kill your battery if it ran all the time. But it caches your location and automatically turns GPS on when you open the app.
But if you start navigating the only way to get it to stop is by hitting Menu-Exit Navigation. Locking your screen is okay. I do it all the time.

Sounds like it isn't a system level problem then.
Navigation will lock the GPS on for you so turning it off isn't a problem.
The same with My Tracks then too.
So to the OP, if the program you are using is not forcing the GPS to stay on when the screen is off, you could try contacting the developer and asking for that option.
Ok I just tested this and I was wrong, when the screen is off the lock stays in tact completely and same accuracy. So if does indeed work. This was tested running navigation in maps.
I guess I should mention that I'm using igo. It was the first program I found with offline maps available for Indonesia. When I turn the screen off, it definitely loses its lock and has to search again when the screen comes back on. So, it sounds like switching programs should solve my problem. Is that right?
Edit: just opened navigation, and it says it's not available here yet. I might just have too bring my WM with me when I need navigation on a ride. Oh, well; by this time next year I should be back in the states where features aren't geographically blocked. Thanks for your help.

yeah it seems to depend on how the developer coded the app you're using. google maps navigation seems to leave the GPS on with the screen off. the app you are using must not, but maybe you could contact the developer and ask them to change this?
Like every other device on the market, the HTC ONE is not perfect, both at device and software levels it is likely that some glitches and hitches will be discovered, this is exactly the place to report those bugs. It is important here to distinguish between a bug from the device and a bug from an XDA ROM developer, the latter case must be reported in the appropriate topic and not here.
Confirmed or Known BUGS:
BUG : I find that on the odd occasion my back button or home button becomes dead.
SOLUTION : Have a read HERE
BUG : Beats causes a hissing background noise, most noticeable at low volumes.
SOLUTION : Some say disabling WiFi and re enabling it solved their issue.
BUG : Bluetooth streaming audio issues, audio keeps cutting out.
SOLUTION : Some has solved this by disabling the energy saving options or simply turn OFF WiFi. To discuss this issue click HERE

I find that on the odd occasion my back button or home button becomes dead. This usually fixes itself immediately when shifting to another screen or something. A minor inconvenience.
Other than that I've not experienced anything else.

o2 v1.27 firmware
I had a weird issue in the car the other day
I was using the USB plugged into a Fiat 500 which has the Blue & Me system. I wasn't particularly bothered about having sound through the speakers, I just wanted to charge.
The stereo turned on anyway, and I was having random directions given through the stereo, with the Highlight Video music in between!! And then the ACTUAL directions coming through the phone speakers. I just turned the stereo off but it was really weird

I've had problems with random restarts and WiFi not connecting/WiFI settings freezing. Not allowing WiFi to be switched off during sleep seems to have cured it.
HTC One M7 speaker
I got my new HTC one the othe day from Harvey Norman and I have noticed that the bottom one of the two speakers cuts in and out and if you press on it then it works, but this is for all audio has anyone had this issue or know why it is happening?
Thanks
I got my HTC One last week and the wifi signal is really weak. When I am at 5mt from the hub (virgin media) I bearly have a signal.
My boyfriend's Xperia Z (with known wifi issues) has more signal at the same distance.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Phone in pocket after call
I am surprised no one has reported this annoying bug:
1) Have the phone in the pocket
2) Listen to music via the provided headphones (same if you use bluetooth)
3) Someone calls you and you answer via headphones button
4) After you or the other party hangs the phone, the phone turns on in the pocket.
VERY annoying!!! Please report this bug to HTC (I already did)
Otherwise I just LOVE this phone!!!
Problems charging phone and file transfers.
Ive had my HTC One for just over 2 months now. Havent had any issues besides the back button not responding. But just the last few days out of the blue, i am unable to charge my phone using the provided htc micro usb cbale that came with the phone to charge my phone. Keeps saying to use supported cable or doesnt detect my phone at all. It wont even charge through the wall power point using the adapter and cable provided. Ive attempted using other micro usb cables from previous devices and still no luck. Only way to charge my phone is using the extend battery pack.But have to restart my phone before charge otherwise it wont detect usb connection.
I also unable to copy and transfer files from my phone to pc also due to the usb cable and detection issue.
Has anyone else here experienced the same issue?
If so,how did you resolve the issue?
ive contacted HTC Support and still waiting on a response.

Sounds like you have accidentally bent some pins in the connection, potentially hardware not software related. I'd return for exchange.
2G connection issues
I have no idea whether its my ONE's problem or of the connection provider........ I cant use my 2G connection, it connects and disconnects at its will........Is there any way to test whether my ONE has any problem?
Strangeness with touch screen sounds
I may be the the only one.... but I like a click sound when the touch screen is presssed for a command. This works alright on my Sensation (pyramid) but not on my new HTC (M7).
There is sometimes a very very faint noise about a second or more after touching the screen for a command, kind of a delayed reaction? Anyway no amount of tweaking volume controls or using any sound mod produces a decent loud click sound. I revert any tweaks after experimenting with them.

This has been annoying me for the past week...
When I make or receive a call people tell me that they hear me far away. People cant tell its me on the phone! Gonna try to clean the speakers with a toothbrush but this phone is fairly new, bought it in September...
Push Bug (Whats app, sms), htc stay in standby
Hey,
I'm new here and i hope, this is the right forum for my problem
I bought me a htc one a few days ago, and i've already root it, unlocked the bootloader, set it s-off. my recovery tool is twrp-2.6.3.3, and i have the ViperOne 4.3.0 with ElementalX-m7-10.10.1. for the rights management i use LBE_Security, exactly this Version: LBE_Security_RC_5.1.5446_A1_EN_VI_1st_12.20.2013.
Sometimes, 2-4 times/day, if i write with somebay via sms or whats app, and my handy is in standby and i get the message, my handy vibrates and the LED blinks green, and when i try to unlock it, with double2wake or logo2wake, my handy vibrates, but my display still is black, like it is still in standy. Music works, i can turn the volume higher or lower, and i can keep klicking the power button or double2wake or logo2wake, but my display didn't react. It only vibrates, wenn i click use double2wake or logo2wake. i have to click the power button and the lower-sound button to reboot my handy.
First i thought, maybe it is the kernel, because i used undervolt 800 and max cpu 1890mhz, so i install viper new and the kernel new, but without undervolt etc., everything stock. But the bug is still there. i have the same bug, if i start the camera app and close my htc via the power button, but without closing the camera app, the bug is there, too. this is something i can live with, but not the problem with push messages.
And i don't know how to contrain the apperance of the bug. yesterday i installed everything new, and i install lbe security master, too, but i think, i forgot to give him superuser right, because today apps pushed me things, but they weren't allowed to do this. maybe it has something to do with the bug, but today i realised it and set lbe as a superuser and then the bug appeared again. before that the bug didn't appeared. maybe it was coincidence, i don't know.
all i know, is that the bug has something to do with sms and whats push, and i'm not 100% sure, but i think it's not the fault of the kernel elementalX. Maybe it's LBE or Viper Rom's fault, or may something else.
Do somebody please help me? This bug is very annoying me and i don't know android very well, it's my first android phone.
And excuse me for my bad englisch, i am from Germany and i wasn't good in englisch in school

Sounds like you've set your minimum frequency/screen off to too low, increase it to around 800Mhz and see whether you face the same problems again.

Thank you for your answers

Thank you, this add-on fixed the camera bug, I hope, it fix the other too
@n1234d
Do you mean the undervolt option during the elemtalx kernel installation? Because first I choose 800kHz, now I choose stock, I think the stock is higher than 800, right? And the bug still appeared.
And what I forget to say: I used the swift option from HTC, that i can write with swiping on my keyboard, maybe this has something to do with the bug, now today I deactivated it.
