Just bought, rooted and flashed the aokp rom. I went under sound and enable vibrate on touch, but when i pressed the 3 menu buttons it wont vibrate at all like in the store. Only when i select widget does it vibrate, any idea on how to enable haptic feedback?
Haptic feedback on the Prime can be pretty weak for most actions, so it might simply be that it's turned on (you've selected the right setting) but not noticeable. I've noticed myself that I can most feel feedback when manipulating home screen items and certain other tasks (like selecting photos in the Gallery app).
Most of the time, I can't feel the feedback when doing things like hitting the buttons. It's also quite inconsistent.
Whats weird though is that i tried it at bestbuy and when i press the home button i can actually feel it vibrate, but nothing is happening right now so maybe its because of the rom?
I apologize in advance if this thread is lacking real substance but I have a couple of questions most online reviews fail to address. I find myself drawn to the HTC One for its hardware and software but also the fact that it seems to be just a little different in the spectrum of Android phones.
Any way, here are my questions to all you HTC One owners:
1) How is call quality? Obviously lots of factors play a role in call quality but what have your experiences been?
2) Is the earpiece during calls loud enough for noisy environments?
3) How is the vibration strength? My phones lives on vibratie and I always prefer a strong vibration motor.
4) Has anyone tried the app Volume Locker? It didn't work on my old HTC One S and was wondering if it works on the One.
5) Is the volume rocker and sleep/wake button hard to press? They look pretty flush with the body of the phone.
6) I assume launchers like Nova work well on the HTC One? I like the idea of getting rid of Blink Feed.
7) Am I correct in assuming you can close the Power Saver notification by going to the app info and force quitting?
8) Is there any major HTC/T-Mobile bloatware you cannot disable without root?
9) If anyone wants to detail some pleasant or unpleasant surprises about the phone I'd love to hear it!
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

1. Excellent, especially for the caller who is listening to you.
2. Average. I have to adjust the phone to find the best spot for maximum call clarity.
3. Very strong. The vibration rattles the whole phone, especially laying on its back, making it even louder than an average device.
4. Haven't tried.
5. Volume rocker is not a huge issue for me, although there's no way to feel if you've landed on the up or down button. The power button took me some time to get used to it, but it's fine.
6. Yes
7. Yes, it goes away when you force quit it. I'd imagine it comes back on reboot
9. I think the phone is surprisingly lacking in bloatware. You have Tmobile apps, (Account, Caller ID, Visual Voicemail, and TV) Dropbox, Kid Mode, Rescue, Watch (video player) and Polaris Office. I was able to disable them all with the "Apps" system setting.
My answers mirror craighwk's. You should note you can disable these apps without root. As far as the power saver thing...I use it, and the banner in the pulldown menu doesnt bother me.

Hello everyone !
I recently acquired a honor 5X and updated it to Marshmallow today. Everything was and is great, as expected. However, I have two little complains:
The first one, that already existed in Lollipop, is the notification volume issue. When I select a notification tone, the volume is normal, but when i actually receive a real notification, the volume is way to hard (it is like le notification volume is always several steps further than the ringtone one). I already tried one or two 3rd party apps in order to manually lower this volume but it didn't work and it is quite annoying.
The second one appeared with the Marshmallow update and is quite simple: whenever i set a wallpaper, it is dimmed like it would be on some lockscreen. At first I thought it was Nova Launcher, but even on Huawei Home, same issue.
I am looking forward to a solution. Anyway, this phone is amazing, especially when you realise how cheap it is.
Thanks !
Hi everyone.
In my last two phones, using a "selfie shutter" (A remote button as seen in the link) worked fine for triggering my phone to take a snapshot with the camera app.
I did have to move the camera Icon on my old phone so the remote bluetooth button triggered itm, but after that it worked fine.
However with my LG V30, all this remote button does, is trigger the volume button and rise the volume with repeated pressings. it will not open the camera app.
Any ideas on this? I heard that I could "re-ma" the volume button or something but I've never done it before.
Thanks!
See the selfie shutter button in question below
http://www.hapurs.com/productdetails-70-70.html.
Figured it out!
The item on the TOP LEFT of my android device desktop is always the first triggered.
I simple moved my camera icon there, gave the bluetooth device "Unlock" permissions, and now I am all good. Thanks

No way to delete posts on XDA, but you can always edit them -- which is nice. One forum I was in had a 24 hour time limit to edit posts, so stupid stuff stayed forever.
Hi everyone,
I'm a bit more than a week in with the Pixel 6, coming from a phone that has an actual hardware ring/vibrate/silent switch. I miss that switch dearly.
Is there a fast way to silence the Pixel 6? I'm aware you can press the volume key, then choose the "silent" icon, but that takes some time/fiddling, and it DOESN'T SILENCE THE PHONE. Only silences notifications/rings. My old phone when silenced also silenced media, everything except alarms.
Invariably I'm doing something at the table or whatever and an ad comes on at volume. Sure, I can hold the volume down key, but it takes a bit for that to gradually silence the media.
What I want is to be able to double tap the volume control or something similarly fast and have it instantly silence everything (except alarms), similar to how the physical sound off switch worked on my OP6T.
Is there a solution for this? I'm fully stock, not rooted, not planning to root.

Bro I feel you! I'm noticing now valuable that switch was to me as well. I'm literally thinking about sending this phone back and buying another OnePlus device or buying a refurbished item.

There are times I feel I should have grabbed an 8T for $400, but i wanted for once to experience a pure google phone. I knew it was going to be thick and heavy when I bought it but I didn't realize how much I would miss that switch.
That said, I'm enjoying the Pixel otherwise, and am pretty settled in with it. I've made the transition and don't plan to send mine back. This is a pretty nice phone!

Thanks for this but it didn't silence the phone. I was playing a game, an ad came up with loud sound. I tried flipping the phone but nothing happened. Am I missing something?

Settings > System > Rules. Enable and use the "silence phone" rule. It's location-dependant so there is no toggle like what you are used to.
EDIT: For finer control than what Google provides, Tasker or a similar app should work for you.

Hmm. I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to work. I don't want the rule to start when I reach a location or connect to a network, I just want to be able to quickly tell the phone to silence all sounds (other than alarms of course) at specific times like if I see an ad loading up. And I would want to be able to undo the silencing quickly too.
I went into the rules and tried enabling, but it's all about doing things when I reach a location/wifi spot.
I did double check my gesture settings, to make sure the Flip to Shhh was on... it is... I Think the shushing just applies to notifications and ringing, not media (ad sounds are controlled via media sound level).
Use button Mapper by flar2 and map long press volume as you wish. That's what I've done coming from op6t

THANK YOU
I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. I set mine so a single tap of the volume down mutes the media volume. Problem solved! And I like the option to disregard button mapper when the volume control is being used manually.
OK now! My biggest beef with this phone now fades into the sunset.
My initial reason to install was torch which I've mapped to volume down. Great app and @flar2 is a member on here so give him a thumbs up
