Farewell all

Just posting a farewell thread folks, ordered a white Nexus 5 32gb 399.99 from Google Play on Friday it got here today, Monday. I activated it over the phone with Sprint in under 5 minutes and threw the sim card from HTC one into the Nexus 5. Boom, instantly works beautifully. I am getting LTE so much more then I got with the HTC one I am barely ever on 3g anymore! Also everyone used to complain to me about call quality on the One, this problem is now gone no one complains anymore. The only thing I miss are the speakers, everything else is better in every way. I use a portable 30 ish dollar bluetooth speaker every once and a while when I care enough to grab it. Snapdragon 800 is amazing and the 8mp camera is better then htc 4mp "ultrapixel" bogus. The HTC one was nice for a while but this phone is an upgrade for me. Going to go sell my HTC one on craigslist or ebay for 350 now. Goodbye everyone! try to enjoy your htc ones!

Try to enjoy our ones? You sound like you're on Samsung's jock. I love my One. I acknowledge the camera issues but its smooth, sounds great and it has the UI of any android phone.

Bye

Wouldn't it be LG's jock that he's on?
Yeah, the cam is not as nice as it has been pimped. What phone hasn't had this exact problem? My N4, LGOG and ONE all were like this.....try to say that the N5's camera is soooo much better and I will say

Lol. Why are you posting a farewell? Honestly, unless you're a developer, I doubt anyone really cares... I switched to the Nexus 5 as well, and agree with you on pretty much everything. I just don't see a reason to tell everyone about it because I don't develop or theme or anything so it hardly matters. I'm still keeping my One anyway, just in case...

Its like were supposed to get upset and beg for him to stay with the One or something.

Dear nobody,
Everyone, including your own mother, couldn't possibly care any less than we do.
Your friends,
No one is your friend.
P.S. If you hasn't of said anything no one would have notice that you left. Now we just don't like you, so was it worth it?

Farewell, Sprint HTC One Forum's face herpe. Farewell

Post goodbyes in the OT thread please....

Switched to Rebel, to see if there is better battery life. Wow! What a different look.

what is the battery life over there?
im having a major battery issue and im digging down the forum for a rom with optimum battery life.

Best battery life is stock, but it is horrible for performance.

I noticed no difference in battery life between RebelROM and the jb roms i had been using, so I switched back to jb. A much better experience.

Fair, on average about 700 to 800 points higher on Quadrant than the old phone, although keep in mind much of the Exhibit's score revolved around very high I/O readings. With a normal I/O score, the Exhibit would be about 1000-1200 points lower. You can look at the attached screenshots to see what I mean. The Exhibit is on the left, S2 on the right.
Some folks over there posted very exaggerated scores of over 4000 which they got with TW ROMs that had 2Ghz OC and probably used V/R for I/O.

Oh very true, I have no illusions about the hardware on this device. It's as old as the Exhibit, in fact. It does have sufficient hardware for what I need however. The Exhibit is just so limited on CPU and RAM it drove me crazy when I used it. I learned you couldn't make a Kia a Jaguar with it basically, no matter how hard I tried. The S2 crushes it, but let's all face it, that's not saying much.

I take it you mean the Light, cause we know the Exhibit isn't doing those kinds of numbers! Hey the Light has much better hardware than the S2, no question. However I didn't want it without root. I won't have any phone that I can't do what I want to do with it. Getting rid of bloat for starters. If your device gets a work around for the bootloader and some established devs get involved, there are some very nice possibilities in store.

We have root cwm TWRP debloated stock. And a stock based rom. Like peach sunrise was in the beginning. Its called Lightwave. Decent. But not perfect. A few devs are trying for a CM11. One just posted a progress report. I would tag him but his name is hard to tag (@ root @ ) no spaces. And no parenthesis.
I have been working on porting stuff. Gotten pretty good thnx to the exhibit being free to do what I want. I have been using it to fine tune my porting capabilities. The tool I use to use never was quite right..... so anyways. How are things on your side of the tracks?

I wish I could tell you they were good, but not really. The S2 has been a miserable failure from almost month one. I honestly hate it almost as much as I did the Exhibit. ROM after ROM has failed to fully deliver the goods, mainly due to the dated hardware this thing has. I really goofed on this purchase. Every time I think I have the perfect setup, it bombs later. That story sounds familiar doesn't it? Right now I am running PA on it and thanks to the latest Fly On Mod Alpha 3 it's a fairly decent setup for now. I'd like to quit on this thing and wait until the next phone to start ROM flashing again. You can't make a Honda run like a Porsche, bottom line. BTW this is the last Samsung I will EVER buy again! EVER!
On the Galaxy Light, one of the people at work bought one and no offense, I wasn't impressed. Only a few days after she had it, she was asking what was causing some of the FCs she was getting. The thing was lagging and it wasn't until I put Nova launcher on it some of the lag went away. Just another Samsung hunk of junk IMO. But if you are still loving it, I am happy for you at least. Development is not going to really go anywhere on it, at least where you will get official support. Samsung has already moved on to the Avant. Let's be honest. We both need to get a 1+1 or Nexus to really have a phone that delivers. I plan on it soon too. Also good on you for expanding your skills. I made a port for the S2 but it had some bugs. This stuff just consumes too much time too.
Good to hear from you bro BTW. Good old Rebel ROM, it really was one of the good ones for the Exhibit. At least I have learned a lot here.

Hey, AD. Good to hear from you, again. Sad news about the S2. My Light was never a problem, and my wife still uses it. When i updated the rom, the phone lost root. It's easy enough to get it back, but my wife doesn't really care. The bloat is still gone, and now we have VoLTE. Pretty good swap. I've moved to a Nexus 5. It's not rooted, either (tried, using the Nexus root kit, but it wasn't working. I think i messed up getting the correct driver), but again, no bloat so no worries. With a 32gb internal drive, I'll never have storage problems. It's taking some time to get used to the size, but that's not a big deal. There are certainly lots of roms available, should i choose to go that route.
Again, good to see you again.

Ultimate Off-Topic Thread

Well, @aSuperSaiyanG0D and I decided it'd be a good idea to bring an OT thread to the forums
So I'll keep things short and simple to start with. This thread is not for discussing issues with phones or anything, it's for the the exact opposite.
What are everyone's thoughts on the iPhone 6?
When do you think Android L will release?
Anybody pick up Destiny since it released?

All I have to say bout iPhone 6....

I literally just showed that to my sister and she said, "I don't care how great an Android is, I'll always want an iPhone."
It's a social symbol these days. And I guess in our society our value is what others perceive of us. So yeah, people are going to keep buying those things. Breaks my heart.
Although I will say, the slow motion video could be kind of cool. Not that I'd see myself using it.

The only thing bout iOS that I'll admit is kinda nice, is when you jailbreak, and something screws up, it's very very hard to brick it. Just use iTunes and you can just restore it.
But then again, that would be to easy huh? Cx

Haha, I can't count how many times I've restored my phones via KDZ flashes... Nearing a hundred I assume lol.

Wow look apple made the iPhone 6 bigger and faster never saw that coming. Not really ground breaking stuff
I think that ios8 is a nice update for the ifags.
Has is some cool stuff, all things android has had for awhile.
But I still wouldn't buy a iPhone. In my opinion iPhone are the Nokia of the 90s, generic as [email protected]#k.
Really looking forward to see what android brings with its android L release.
The Sony xperia z2 has slow motion camera too

You hit the nail on the head. It's a status thing. Most people spend way too much time worrying about what others think of them. This distorts their own perception of themselves. I figured out early in life, as a teenager, that it really doesn't matter to me what others think of me. I am who I am the way I am.
On another note... CM11 currently building and I am waaayyy past where I was getting errors earlier. No longer using CAF kernel. Switched to LGs kernel base instead, for the time being anyways. Having to do a fresh build so it won't finish til @ 0400 EST.

Exactly how I feel, too! I'd rather gauge out my eyeballs and pull out my fingernails than "fit in". All that leads to is either hating or being hated. Life's way too short to worry about what the popular girl or guy at school is wearing or using.
I'm pretty much of a misfit anyway so there's no way I'll be able to fit in even if I tried. Hahaha.

Before owning this phone I just wrote off LG as a Samsung copy cat. Considering how similar the UI and features they share. After owning this phone I have come to the conclusion that LG UI(whatever they call their UI) is touchwiz done right. Much like how I feel about MIUI iOS done right as well...still can't wait until more AOSP roms are present. Hoping this unreal price attracts devs to tinker with it

I agree and am grateful for all the work you and other devs do. Any plans on doing a ROM based off of LG stock ROM like HTC and Samsung has? Not a request nor trying to sound pushy just curious

What kind of battery life are you getting?

Hey everyone,
I was checking out the battery stats thread over at the m7ul forum, and I was blown away. People were getting 5+ hours screen time, no problem. Obviously, we can't reproduce their setups; our phones aren't compatible with their ROMs.
So, I thought this thread may come in handy for those of us struggling with battery life, and would like to know what kinds of numbers can be achieved. Post your battery stats here along with your setup. Include ROM, kernel, tuning, services, etc. please!
I know the Sprint M7 is kind of a dying community, but hopefully we'll get a lot of participants.

*ahem*
Wow guys don't all post at once.
Anyway, I guess I'll just share mine to get you started.
As you can see, my battery life sucks. Not sure why, because I'm running SD 9 with Kangaroo, and I installed Amplify to reduce the Google Play Services Wakelocks. Also, power saver is on 24x7. If anyone has a recommended setup, that would be great. thanks!

install greenify this will help you significantly increase your battery life https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en

The sound of silence...
Yeah, hopping place ya got here. LOL. I've ROM hopped all over the place, tuned and tried apps, prayed to the dark lords of battery power, all to no avail. The M7's battery life simply stinks. But, it's a supercomputer in your pocket, so I kinda have to think that's fairly amazing. I use power saver mode ALL the time, never have a need to crank it up, I turn my brightness down to the first bar on the quick toggle when I use it and the lowest setting for just glancing and messages, Beats off, NFC off, any radio I'm not using off, GPS off and in battery saving mode. I stream via Bluetooth for probably five solid hours at work and I can make it all day with some texting and make it home, so I can't complain.

Yeah, hopping place ya got here. LOL. I've ROM hopped all over the place, tuned and tried apps, prayed to the dark lords of battery power, all to no avail. The M7's battery life simply stinks. But, it's a supercomputer in your pocket, so I kinda have to think that's fairly amazing. I use power saver mode ALL the time, never have a need to crank it up, I turn my brightness down to the first bar on the quick toggle when I use it and the lowest setting for just glancing and messages, Beats off, NFC off, any radio I'm not using off, GPS off and in battery saving mode. I stream via Bluetooth for probably five solid hours at work and I can make it all day with some texting and make it home, so I can't complain. But, if I'm streaming, talking, surfing, and such, I'm glad I carry my charger everywhere I go.

Well you can't objectively say it's battery life "stinks" because there are definitely people out there getting absolutely incredible numbers in the int'l forum. I just wanted a Sprint specific thread so that we could replicate the setups of people having great success.

Does CDMA use more power than GSM maybe? I've never researched that.

That's actually the reason I created this thread. I want to see if there are any Sprint users who can actually get that kind of battery life. So far, it seems that they can't.
I would hate for that to be true, but I've never seen a Sprint phone get those insane numbers. So, it's possible that Sprint's network is a battery hog. But we can't conclude that unless absolutely nobody posts a good setup.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of us left, unfortunately. Must of the guys I knew when this thing was hot jumped to the M8 when it came out due to the problems this phone has. There's not alot of devs out there making ROMs either, though in HTC's defense, Sense 6 was so awesome there wasn't a huge need to go crazy. The one thing that has always been said though, is poor battery life. I'm on SkyDragon v 10 now with nagging wife kernel and I'm not too unhappy, I can post my stats for fun tomorrow. But, do us unstock guys count in your test?

Yep, anyone who has a sprint htc one can post their stats and setup here. Im running the same thing as you. Hopefully after the settling i get something out of this.
Honestly, Im just desperate to find out if m7sprs can get the same battery life as those insane gsms.
So far, it seems like a no.

OK @#$% this, I'm out.
Ugghhhhhhhhh why. I used to have TMo, was happy with it, got caught into sprint with gimmicks. I hate my life.
OK it's not that serious, but why is this?
8/5 means 60% EXTRA battery life. That would explain how the people in the international forums get such insane numbers.
So, what's the best we can do with our measly Sprint phones?

3.5 hours Screen on time
I'm using a Sprint HTC One on a GSM network in India. I get on an average around 3.5 hours of screen on time.

Setup and screen shot would be nice, though that's a far cry from the 5 hours in the int'l thread .

I'll be switching to T-Mobile when m9 comes out. Mainly because of the sprint "wait now" network. Have been wanting to switch for years but figured I would give them a chance to fix it.

The m7 on sprint has bad battery life. If all I do is browse the internet on WiFi and text I can average 4 hrs SoT but by then my phone is already about die. This is only on sense sadly I get worse SoT on AOSP

I started a thread on this, but I'll guess I'll ask here too.
What percent of your battery usage goes to Android System? According to GSam. I've noticed that the GSM guys have app usage in the high 20s or mid 30s. Mine is in the mid 50s. The Android System battery drain and kernel wakelocks are the issue here.

From what I've heard, poor signal on your sprint phone decreases your battery life. My average is around 2 hours OST within maybe 13 hours of use? I gave up on trying to make this thing last more than a day

That's absolute crap compared to the international guys.
And pretty close to what I'm getting, though mine isn't that bad. I can get 3/15 ish with my setup. If you want, I can pm you my setup.

App crashes and reboots

Anyone had apps crash / close not responding or phone reboots ?
Installed stability patch that was released but still getting reboots of os and app crashes.

Nope no problems here, everything runs clean and smooth. Maybe you should hard reset?

No issues here

No issues...

Lorditler. I'm no troll buddy. Sadly my Nokia 8 is going back. Crashes, reboots, smart lock doesn't work period.
I'm pretty gutted about it not being 100% from the get go.

I've had the odd app crash and reboot, I've got one more week to decide if I'm keeping it. Only thing is, I'm not sure there's anything else around that's going to be pure android with these specs for the same price. Pixel 2 is interesting, but likely to be £700+...

You sound like your exactly where I'm at smudger40. My phone arrived last wed so under DSR I've got a fortnight. After a fortnight I'm stuck with it for the next 2 years.
I'm after a near stock / totally stock android phone which leaves the pixel.
But like you I'm watching what price it is released at and with the fruity firm releasing a £1150 handset, what's not to say the pixel 2 hasn't suddenly gone up even more.
Like yourself I suspect it's going to be around £750 ish.
Which makes the Nokia a real bargain. My Nokia is going back so I'm covered under DSR and im just going to sit on the fence and see what pixel 2 looks like come oct.
And at that point i maybe re-order the nokia and hope I get a better one than the one I'm returning.
As for the X phone... I think this will open the flood gates to 3 year phone contracts to make the phone contract affordable or people are going to have to put 300-400 towards the handset cost.

I've had random reboots. Also issues with phone app and alarm. Phone app is being silent and unresponsive, alarm is just silent.

No issues here at all. Maybe try a factory reset and run with bare minimum a day or 2.
If it still happens it could very well be issues specific to your phone and you should be able to return it and get it either replaced or repaired.
My phone version is... Read below ?

Running a flagship phone with bare minimum? That makes no sense.
I have random reboots, phone app crashes on incoming calls, apps lag heavily, phone gets stuck in landscape mode.
Even the original ZTE Blade had better software than this. This is my first Nokia phone in 17 years and I will probably never get another one.

The very least you can do is to factory reset and some basic trial and error... If the service workshop factory reset it and can't find issues they basically end up claiming you caused the problems. Gathering some proof makes them look like the idiot instead.
It could very well be hardware related since mine works perfectly. **** happens. No brand has 100% flawless phones.
Avoid Nokia if you must... But then avoid Samsung due to Note 7 aka Firestarter, Sony due to random reboots on my Z5 premium (that they fixed later), Apple due to critically flawed updates... The list can go rather large if you really put some time on finding reasons to avoid something.

Already am avoiding all brands you mentioned.

I really like the Nokia 8. Just what I really wanted but, mines not been right from the first day. However, having seen pics that were leaked last night of the pixel 2, I think that looks a proper minger. Then there's leaks of the Nokia 9 appearing every where.
Sitting this one out till Nov when either I go Nokia 8/9 or minger phone (pixel 2 XL) depending on how stupidly it is priced

I have exactly the same issues, with the phone app crashing and alarm is silent sometimes, have you found a solution to your problem?

As others have not had this issue I've returned my handset to carrier. Awaiting a replacement bud
