Low brightness on Sense but nice on Car app? Bad ROM?? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with my HTC one stock firmware. The max manual brightness on the interface is very very low. Half that of a maximum Nexus. But when I open the Car app or Camera app it comes to life with a lot of light.
Is that a known issue with the stock sense ?

I think it's hardcoded in the framework. See my post on the trickdroid thread. I could mod it to use the build.prop configuration but I just posted the info there and leave it to others who already have the device as I can't test it at the moment and time availability issues

Camera questions

Does this phine have the ability to seperate focus & exposure without having to move to meter.
I or know you can touch to focus & it also takes exposure reading from that area. But can you seperate them either with the stock or third party camera app.,.?
I have got a galaxy s4 & it cant do this. Coming from iOS this is a step back.
I havent been able to find any info about this anywhere online
I am considering swapping my s4 for the one if it can do this.
Thanks

AFAIK, stock camera can't do that.. Both are taken at the same point..

Deactivate sensors

Hi,
I see that the sensors are draining my battery, is it possible to turn turn them off? Especially the accelerator sensor (i don't use this ) and the proximity sensor, where is this sensor for?
Thank you!
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Could you please provide the name of the app so I can download it and test for myself, it doesn't look like those sensors should be using that much power, especially when in idle, do you have shake to wake and auto brightness on? Unless there's another App involved, those are the likely reasons
Edit
NM, android tuner, got it and testing now

Alright, it's definitely an app you've installed or rom/kernel set up that's causing that, try out gsam on the play store, that may come up with a way to find the app/s causing the accelerometer and light sensors to consume that amount of power. It might even show you how to manage it good luck

Thanks for the information! I'm using autobrightness and pocket detection, maybe the problem is with the pocket detection?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I'm using elementalx kernel

Here are some screenshots

Looks like it is the pocket detection, try wiping cache, dalvik cache and reflashing elemental x kernel again. See how that goes, if it still uses the sensors too much, try reinstalling elemental again but decrease the sensitivity of the sensors a little. Play around with it and see what happens, pretty safe hope it works for you

Need identification/diagnostic help. (Battery)

My GE HTC One has been having horrible battery life the last few days. Android System and Mediaserver have been slaughtering my battery within an hour and i want to know why. My possible thoughts are
Snapchat +Keepchat xposed extension (it saves all snaps to your internal mem)
Or settings issue?
Im exhausted and was hoping someone could give me advice to wake up to and try out tomorrow.
(BTW, its not partial wakelocks (caused by apps) because i got an xposed app that lets you disable wakelocks per app, and i knocked out any indecent wakelocks).
All help will be thanked!!!

about all I can suggest is that you wipe everything and flash the rom with stock kernel.
add apps one at a time and you should be able to work out what's using your battery.
I quit using snapchat and keepchat, it helped alot.

HEY HEY HEY. ITS NEITHER SNAPCHAT OR KEEPCHAT.

So ive been doing some reading, and apparently android 4.4.2 (across all devices) has a bug causing 100% cpu and battery to be diverted to the camera once an app has opened it. Google is aware, and working on a update. Should restore things to the way they were normally

Not all devices, just those where the camera uses a Qualcomm chipset, such as the Nexus 5.
Google releases software updates to the Nexus 5. They do not release updates to the HTC One, HTC does. Even for the GPE.

[Q] Reduce vibration intensity

Hi guys,
I really do love my HTC One but the vibration intensity is way too strong and I'd like to reduce it. I'm running Android 4.4 and can't find a setting to change it. Furthermore I couldn't find an app to get the job done. Can you guys help me out on this one?
CHeers
Trickster MOD app has this setting.

Is there a way to reduce it without having to root my phone?
It's a kernel function, so no, not without root.
