Multitasking

Do we know yet if htc has fixed the multitasking in the one. I had an x and x+ and the thing could not have more than a couple apps open at one time. It was quite annoying going into your mail app from the browser and having your browser reload when you go back into it. This drove me nuts.
If htc fixed that on the one I will be first in line to get one. If not then i will take a pass.

I read some article (hands-on) and it said multitasking is great, the phone just flew between apps

This is one thing I am looking for as well. I can't stand the multi tasking on my one x. It is completely useless. Couldn't even switch between two apps without having to reload them. I had also heard in one of the hands on videos I believe that they said the multi tasking had been fixed as well. But I'm still waiting for a thorough review.

lol, did you legit just copy and paste Ddot's post?
But, yeah, I have the SGS3 now and it's nice to actually have multitasking compared to my HOX. I miss the non-pentile screen so much and I will definitely be pre-ordering one of these.

Lol hey I knew that post looked familiar! he was just quoting without the quotes heh. Yea I have the hox and my buddy has the s3 and it absolutely drives me nuts that he can actually multi task...I almost stopped using the button on this phone as it is near useless.

i read that it is limited to the last 9 apps you have used (which is more than enough i think)
so hopefully that means they have sorted it but could only get the last 9 working.

I'm fine with the last 9 working, as long as they are truly staying in some sort of saved state and pull back up to where you were at without reloading I'll be ecstatic.

9 apps only? With 2GB of RAM? A complete TRAGEDY!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

The problem is if those 9 apps are actually held in RAM or not. The HOX showed plenty of apps in the recent app list, it's just that they had all been killed already so it re-loaded from scratch.
Hopefully HTC have learnt, and if not then 2Gb RAM should make a difference too
M.

very nice

Any one get the ONE already can give some view on the mulitask performance?
If you you open several APP, like web browser and other APPs, when you switch back to web browser will it reload the pages?

Seems to work flawlessly none of the nine apps refresh

The phone will not have any multitasking problems with 2 gigs of RAM.
One X had only 1 gb, that's why it sucked with more than 2 apps open.

1g shall work fine for multitask, but one x has special handling to deal with multitask that cause it a problem. It killed app when memory still very much.
So we need ONE user to give their feedback on how good it is now.

Can someone with the One make a video and post it up please.
Go to Youtube Desktop version, play the video to 1 min in, Press home, go into email app, Press home then go to task Switcher app, Click on Youtube and see if the video is still at 1 min mark or it refreshed.
Its a deal-breaker for me

This would be interesting to know... Its not a deal breaker for me as memory management is fairly easy to modify with root. But it will still be annoying.

Root never fixed it on the one x for me despite tweaking

[Q] Multitasking?

I'm an EVO 4G LTE user and am well aware of the multitasking use on Sense 4+ but what I want to know is if the HTC One, with Sense 5, able to do REAL multitasking? For example: playing a video on YouTube (app and/or browser) while browsing the homescreen or appdrawer instead of hitting the home button or doing something else and the video stopping.

No, that feature isn't available but coming from someone who had the evo LTE the recents apps is way better than the 2 cards than are displayed on the evo. The only phone i know that has that feature is multi window option in the galaxy phones. But i like in sense 5 how if you press the recent apps you see 9 apps and the applications don't reset which means you pick up right where you left off in every app.

Well that just blows. I've been waiting for a feature like that but really would hate to get on a Samsung phone again. I do like the way the multitasking is used on the One BUT it would be nice to have 2 apps running at the same time. Thanks for the quick response.

The applications will reset based on available RAM.
Luckily, with 2GB, that's relatively rare.

Isn't it specifically in the youtube app to stop playing if you aren't on the app. I don't believe a samsung will get around this any differently.
As far as the multi-tasking, its nothing like the evo lte.

The youtbe app is designed to pause when it isn't on the foreground....its assumed you want to watch the video.

That's what I'm speaking of guys/gals and was asking if the HTC One/Sense 5 had a like feature that would give the same result.

Not sure what else there is, but that's all I could find on Google that seemed pretty good. They're the closest thing to Samsung's Pop up Play that I could find.

If you just want the ability to watch a YouTube video while tinkering around in your phone Floating YouTube Player is perfect.

I could have sworn I read an article on Engadget a week or two ago about an app that does the multi Window thing.

There's a similar feature on AOSP called multi-VIEW...you might wanna check it out, but I'm not even sure if it's implemented in any of the roms made so far
Best of both worlds woot woot (sorry, couldn't resist)

You could by a floating browser app that will let you surf the web while doing anything else.

[Q] New HTC One

Just received my HTC One today through Best Buy and I am loving it so far but I have some questions:
1. The box didnt include a SIM card removal tool for some reason. Should it be included and if so, should i go to Best Buy and get it? I doubt I'll ever need it.
2. Is there haptic feedback on the phone? I have vibrate on screen touch and keyboard checked but it doesn't vibrate. It vibrated once or twice while I was typing but that's it. And it has never vibrated when pressing either back or home. My battery was about 30% so maybe the power saver has something to do with it?
3. When I'm in the camera, the screen gets really bright. Is that supposed to happen? I'm running on about 25% brightness on the phone but when I get into the camera app, it goes up and when I exit, it goes back to 25%.
4. Is there a way I can restore my apps with data from my E4GT to my One without rooting the One? I read that MyBackUp pro does the trick but can anyone confirm? My E4GT is rooted by the way.I want to bring my games with data (like how much money I have in the game) or my Colornote notes over to the One.
Thanks!

1. You don't need a sim removal tool because there is no reason to remove it.
2. There is haptic feedback, and if the power saver is on then that is why.
Not sure about 3 & 4

4. Helium should do the job for a non rooted device. It's in the play store.

The screen is supposed to go full brightness when u launch the camera app. It's defaulted like this so u can see a accurate preview of the photo u are about to take

Recent apps

Anyone else noticed that if you hold two fingers on any screen on the Gear you get a list of recently opened apps?
Much quicker to navigate this way sometimes.
You can also close the apps by swiping each one to the left.

Awesome tip. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Hmm ... Too bad that we can't clear the open apps.
I think we will see a lot of changes from Samsung with the gear. They rushed it to market, imho, without it being very mature. But then every new device has this issue.
I remember when people were complaining that the amount of available apps for Android paled in comparison to the iSuck devices.

You can also double tap
I knew about this but also if you double tap 2 fingers you get instant shortcut to volume / brightness settings and battery level

Wow this is a nice tip. Is this something that was in the manual that came with the device. I never read them

Doesn't this tip appear on menu that came with the box?

Where's all the Gear Fit people.

It seems all the Best Buy stores are sold out, yet I don't see a lot of people discussing the fit. I was able to track one down from a sprint store.
I love the thing.
I can't seem to find if it has the ability to double tap screen to do things.
How do you guys like the fit?
Sent from my SM-G900T using xda app-developers app

Its pretty cool. I'm using it on my nexus and got most of the features working. I don't know what that double tap feature is. When you double tap with two fingers it opens the settings menu. And when you press the home button 2 times it opens whatever you have it set to. Maybe that helps.
