After upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 I found that my phone won't switch on until I press the power button three times although sometimes it does switch on first go. Then, I installed the latest OTA patch to 4.1.1, software number 3.14.401.31 (international version) and found that accessing the camera from the lock screen, with security pattern enabled, is very slow. That is when you drag the camera to the unlock ring and release, the lock ring pauses for about 5 seconds before the camera starts up. This didn't happen before the last update.
So far I have taken the camera out of the unlock bar and rebooted the phone and turned off geo-tagging photos. None of these options helped.
If I turn off the pattern unlock then accessing the camera from the lock screen is normal so this appears to be something to do with accessing the camera with the pattern unlock enabled.
Hi,
I have encountered the same thing - seems like you're the only one who has reported it on these forums so far. I hadn't tried disabling the pattern unlock, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. But I'm quite unhappy about this new bug that just came out of nowhere with the 4.1 update, especially knowing that the camera quick start was one of the features HTC boasted about so much!
Yeah, not much on it at the moment but the upgrade is quite recent. Hopefully more people will find this thread and we can get some traction.
Same problem here, me and my wife. Wery annoing!

I emailed HTC and they replied the next day which was good. They asked me to reset the camera app, reboot the phone and then factory reset the phone if the other things didn't work. It didn't fix it yet so I'll see what they come up with next.

No factory resetting my phone didn't work. HTC rang me back and said that I need to return it to who I bought it from. In other words no fix and returning certainly won't prove anything. I think I'll just have to wait it out until it is fixed with another update ... hopefully.
Or maybe we should looking at getting an app that provides the same functionality?
Have te same bug guys :/

I tried the factory reset too, to no avail. Seems like disabling the phone lock is the only solution, but that's not really what I would call a satisfactory solution, since I'm using a VPN on my phone and that requires a lock + I just don't want to go lock-free.
We need this issue to be known to HTC and hopefully a fix will come.
Ps I don't think this problem was present in the JB update, but only came in the small FW update that followed.

Yeah it only came in the small update after the JB update. But another problem that I'm having is that to turn my phone on via the power button, sometimes I have to press the power button three times. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes after the phone has been off for a while, I hit it once and nothing, hit it again, nothing and then on the third press it comes on. I'm not sure if they are related to the "quick" camera launch problem.
One work around for this bug, if you use your camera a lot, is to leave your camera in standby mode. That is turn your phone off while the camera is active and then when you hit the power button it will go straight to camera. I don't use this myself as I have the lock pattern on to prevent my phone from turning on in my pocket which is common on HTC phones
HTC support are a waste of space
I have this issue too. HTC told me to factory reset it, then when that didn't work they told me to return it to the store to be sent away for repair. They really don't have a clue at HTC support.
The phone was returned to Vodafone yesterday and the repair centre said "no fault found" What are they on!!! The Vodafone store confirmed the issue was still there.
I now have the phone back with no resolution.
Going to call Consumer and get some advice.
I have this problem too, quite annoying.

I'm in Brisbane, Australia and ordered my phone through kogan.com.au. It popped up as an OTA on my phone.
Thanks. Looks like that 3.18 OTA is seeding at the moment, shouldn't be long before I get it. Fingers crossed....

Hey guys. New to the forum
Just done the OTA update to get to Andriod 2.2 on my HTC Desire and now have two glaring issues that weren't there before.
The first is the issue already mentioned here about the photos being blurred in full screen mode.
The other is when using the Power Control widget. When WiFi is on and GPS is off. When I then switch off WiFi it turns GPS on!
I also can't update my location details when using Google and Google Navigation can't find the GPS.
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue? What do you suggest I do? A hard reset? Is there a way to revert to Android 2.1 and try the 2.2 update again?
Any help is appreciated

I am using a non-branded Desire on the 3 Network.
I'm guessing there are issues with the OTA update from HTC as people are saying it's been pulled.
just got the OTA today and it's installing right now as I'm doing this typing.I don't think it was pulled but sent out in batches to reduce server overload.I'll let you know how the installation end up.
just finished installing ans everything seem to work ok except the GPS locking?It seems to take forever to lock.I even took it to the window to see if it would lock there but doesn't seem to respond.Any ideas?

this seems to be the case for me too. unbranded unlocked phone. GPS takes 3 or 4 minutes to lock
same here foursquare doesn't detect my location even with GPS is on
any fix for GPS ?
In your case I would do a hard reset. These things work for me after the upgrade. If you have task killing software installed, try removing these first and any other program that is tampering with system...
Good luck!
Tried a hard reset but issue still remains. Guessing it is something to do with the update then
Anyone had any luck with doing a hard reset?
I am running an unbranded Desire from CPW, on O2, and I upgraded to Froyo OTA at the weekend. The GPS works fine and locks normally (even got a fix when flying home from Greece yesterday - 541mph at a height of 7.4 miles! )
However, the blurry pictures is annoying me - but as soon as you pinch zoom slightly, the clarity returns, and goes again when you zoom out to full photo again. Irritating since everyhting else works brilliantly.
I read elsewhere on here that O2 are working on their own release - maybe that will fix this issue?

is there anything with the debranded handsets? Mine takes awfully long time to find a satellite..
I've just switched on Sygic mobile maps, and by the time the screen had loaded, the GPS was up and running - approx 15-20 seconds. Not sure why you guys are having problems, but it sounds very annoying!
sorry for the post,but I have a problem with the screen like a title my screen jump and and sometimes the bar above disappears.
I can do something to solve the problem?
thanks a lot
Have that to, hoping htc will fix it with an update

i have another problem to send "mms" i have correctly configured the APN

I may have solved the problem but I'm not sure will carry out tests if the problem recurs to me more, I will tell you how I did it
I pretty much solved the problem of flickering and jumping screen.
I installed from the market ZDbox, enter "system cleaner" (to clean the cache) then press "clean all cache"
let me know if it works

Does it still work for you?
I tried your idea and i worked right after i cleaned the cache. After a bit it started to jump again.
Really hope this is a software problem that can be fixed with a patch. Anyone heard anything yet?
What are people doing with this ? I am having the same problem and I am wondering if I should send it back or hope that some kind of software update will fix it.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Believe me, this is a typical software glitch. I had it 2 times in the past 5 days, and most of the time it was triggered with the now known taskbar glitch.
At the moment when i turn my phone into sleepmode for a half minute or so and turn it back on the jumping is gone.
I can't imagine that this is related to a hardware fault. I have seen many hardware and software issues on computers/other devices throughout my life, and this one is acting like a typical software/gpu driver glitch
So what would you recommend? To send it back or to wait for HTC to release a update. I am not sure what to do.

I would wait indeed, or you can try out a custom rom which has the 1.28 update already baked in
OTA 1.28 is out now, so you could try that first before sending the phone back
I've tried 1.28 and 1.29 updates but the jumping still occurs. Annoying.
What's up guys, i'm new here . Three days ago, HTC sent back my phone after a checkup for a vibration problem. They said that they did a software update (false, it was already 1.29.401.11) and sensors calibration. Yesterday, the phone stopped vibrating again. What should i do now? I think that is a software problem (stock rom, never rooted). I'm sorry for bad english . Thanks

Don't think you can do anything much other than give it back and ask for a replacement as it's the second time this has happened... Also, try doing a factory restore and see if it works.

I dit it, but this should be the third time that i send it to assistance. The first one was for a g sensor problem, resolved with a replacement of motherboard, but when i sent it the vibration worked perfectly, i suspect that they broken my phone.

not a incoming email vibration notification , not a wi-fi drop out vibration notification.

They actually scammed you by saying they updated it(when it was updated already like you say) You should go back, yell at them and take out some frustration if you wish =P
Don't root your phone to install another rom, try fixing it as is on stock rom.
I would try these:
1)Factory Reset
2)Update to latest FW
3)HTC Diagnostics Test (Has a vibration test)
4)Haptic Feedback On(To see if it vibrates on typing and tapping and such)
5)Phone Ringing with vibration
If any of the above work, then its definitely a software problem.
If they don't, either way you have to go back to HTC. Try getting a replacement. Say you're tired of coming back again and again to get your phone fixed, "Give me a replacement or My Money back"
I read another post a few weeks back where the user was experiencing these mechanical sounds on haptic feedback(I also have that problem) but his vibration stopped altogether. He got his HOX replaced.
Anyways Good Luck.

I don't recommend hijacking the thread, create your own thread
Sorry I'm probably stepping on his thread too, but please point in any directtion before I have an inoperable phone and a hard time getting HTC to cover.
However, I an issue that will f-up this phone I'm afraid. I have on a daily basis what I would describe as an alarm of some sorts (can't duplicate) that runs about 15 seconds once to twice daily at full vibration. Not rooted and have reset 3 times.
If you've ever run a battery drain program with full vibration on. Not good for the phone. I'm at a loss in this one, really dreading tech support or my local store. Will run the HTC diags but any other ideas greatly appreciated
No receipt, no box and I traded for it on Craig'slist 2weeks ago..

My friend had the same problem with a HOX - it wouldn't vibrate at all. He tried doing a factory reset and playing with settings, but nothing worked, so he sent it back and got a replacement. I'm not sure you can do anything about it since it's likely a hardware problem.
Hello, im a proud owner of a tmob009 unlocked htc m8 mobile device and after updating to 4.4.4 yesterday night i noticed that the extreme power saving mode was missing in the battery settingss.. Is that normal? Does someone else experience this issue or its an isolated case..?
Below i have some screens...also excuse me for the greek language
Thanks in advance
I think you're alone in this...
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm afraid I would have to agree with rramey23, extreme power saving mode is present on mine and I'm running 4.4.4. I'd try a full factory reset to see if you get the functionality back.
Also here extreme saving power just disappeared after the installation. I have already done a full factory reset but nothing. What should I do ?
Yeah same here.. factory reset didnt work, but odly enough i found out that the option for extreme power saving is at the tabs.. You can see the icon at the bottom of the screenshot
Also another problem that i encountered after the 4.4.4 update is that my front camera doesnt work at all with videocalls on skype.. it makes the app freeze and crash
Tapping that tab or the three points doesn't work, the phone just remains the same I have tried two factory resets but nothing

Okay this is getting funny..! i had the tab but i never pressed it until now. indeed it does nothing!! What's going on! I hope it's a faulty OTA... I'll be waiting for a hotfix or something,,
Hi,
I have the same problem. I found a german Telekom forum where other users are asking the same question. One Telekom administrator answered this (translated with Google translator):
Hi there. It looks like this. The error could be quickly traced. Meanwhile, HTC has already been informed to provide a new update available. This is done with a high priority. It is, again: Wait in patience and practice. Troubleshooting we can currently say nothing. We have sent to HTC the requirements, there is a new update package put together, then it must be tested again and then carried the new rollout. In other words, an appointment we can not name. But we are aware of the urgency.

after one or two minut going back :/

i noticed the same thing...i had to reboot the phone few times...
Same issue here!
You can wait till christmas, but nothing works to get your keyboard back..except booting..
Yes same issue here. I've mentioned it not long after the Developer Edition received the OTA.
It's not even something that we can recreate, it's just completely random. It stays that way until a reboot and then it's fine again. Very irritating.

I had a problem with the keyboard lagging which got worse after the lollipop update, I was considering a warranty claim or rooting the phone and then the microphone packed in and the decision was made, I called the network who advised me to send it to HTC for repair which I did, it also had a few sync problems too, I asked the technical support guy about this problem and he said it would have to be reflashed, I sent it to them and they did the work, replacement microphones, replacement receiver, replacement lower board, replacement rubber something or other which I was told is something under the screen, replacement camera and a few others and of course it was flashed, I got it back after 8 days expecting my otherwise brilliant phone to be as it should be as I have come to expect from HTC, I switched it on and did the initial stages of making it work, I let it restore the last backup I made (off the phone with faults) which reported had failed but it started to restore the backed up apps, settings and my contacts, everything restored to how I had it before minus a couple of apps and a few notification settings, I have been using it for 2 days now however the keyboard has not been fixed by flashing it, unless the errors could have been brought in by the restoration? I have experienced the screen freeze and start jumping, jumping to the all open apps page, keyboard lag, keyboard is inaccurate, I went into the EE shop and they said that it should go back to HTC again, I haven't tried to hard reset it and go back to the factory settings and not restore the backup image this time, I've never had any problems with the 3 HTC phones I've owned, it is a good phone otherwise
Damn, I just went back to Dev Edition and sure enough it happened to me. Has this ever been fixed? This is way too annoying for me.
Possible Fix
For what it's worth, I went into App Manager to clear the Sense Input data as suggested by a previous poster (thank you) but did not have a 'Clear Data' button. There was a 'Settings' button though where I was able to turn off HTC Sense Input, after which my Swype keyboard immediately started working again. First time I've been able to resolve this SUPER annoying issue without rebooting the phone. Time will tell if it's a real fix; I'll update this post if not.
Phone is a brand new M8, still on stock 5.0.1
