Hi, just got an HTC One m8 2 weeks back.
I would like to know whether it's possible for me to schedule movie downloads to occur at midnight etc. I get peak and off peak data so trying to make use of the off peak data without having to stay up till 1am. I tried some apps, like IFTTT but no dice.
Anyone have any workaround?
Also, how do I know whether my camera is suffering from the scratched lens issue? I can't seem to tell.
Regards,
Ishaq

Try a download manager app, such as Advanced Download Manager. I think ADM (and others) has this feature.

If you can't tell, you probably don't have an issue. Once the coating on the lens starts to get scratched (its just the coating coming off, not the glass being scratched), you can actually see the scratches if you look closely at the lens. But more importantly, your photos will start to look cloudy or hazy, a lot like a fingerprint smudge on the lens. And this will increase gradually as the issue gets worse.
Thanks for the response. I downloaded ADM and it works.
I can see some really fine scratches on the lens, almost like dots. However, no noticeable haze in the images.
One more issue. Do you also sometimes suffer from keyboard errors. Sometimes, occasionally I'll open a field to type and instead of the keyboard coming up, it's just a black bar. However, this black bar still reads my keyboard inputs. It's like a glitch in the OS.

If the coating is starting to scratch, it will probably get worse over time until it affects your photos. But no need to worry about it until that happens.

I've heard a couple complaints like that, but I haven't experienced it myself.
Is the phone stock or modded (unlocked bootloader, root, etc.)?
Yeah, I'm completely stock. Native keyboard, no launchers.
It's happened like 5 times in ten days. Usually sorts itself out by exiting whatever application I'm using.

See the black bar problem. But it still reads inputs. Why did it keep doing this?

For a stock phone, you can try a factory reset or to update by OTA (if one is available). Not much else you can do on stock.
You can search around to see if this a common issue on your OS software version (and if there are any other possible fixes). But I don't think so. I've seen maybe one other person mention it, but it doesn't seem like a common problem.

got mine yesterday and when i use the browser the screen starts flickering and distorting anyone else had this problem??
please take a look at the photos
Not noticed that myself but I have been using Chrome.
i have noticed that on a couple of times, don't know why but it has gone away. but it's strange
To me it looks like either the LCD is damaged or the LCD connector has a problem with it. Return it for a new one

I have the exact same thing!
I made a topic of this myself.
Someone above said this is hardware, but i doubt this, because this glitch is only on the drop down menu, it is not random but outlined. A screen problem would cause this at any place on the screen.
What do you guys think of this?
Seems to be a Tegra3/ICS issue. The Transformer Prime had similar problems for months.
is this the screen glitch u guys are talking about or is it another screen glitch type?
if it is the former, i have not had it yet in the 4 days i have the phone..
try to use a different browser like dolphin or chrome or whatever

Saw it on my phone yesterday for like 3-4 seconds...i was using whatsapp that time...so i dont think its only related with the browser...
Same thing here
Same thing happened when I was on ARHD 1.2.0 in Netflix. See attachment.
I also get this screen problem. It is software/firmware corruption, and not a hardware fault as far as I can tell.
It happens at random in the stock browser, or at least appears random - I haven't found a link to any website or user action yet.
It does seem it might be related to anything involving animated menus with gradient colour or transparency - that's just a passing observation though.
Hey guys,
I know that the screens on these phones are turning out to be junk, but I'm looking for some opinions on whether my particular issue (which I don't think has been brought up here before) is a hardware problem, or if it just looks like a software bug.
I've attached a picture of the glitch, which appears as two lines of random pixels that flicker between pink and green. I've circled in red the pixels that were doing it at the time (it only seems to happen with darker colours). The picture is GTA3, but I know that it also happens in the music app and when flicking between sense themes (although it's harder to reproduce in those apps). Oddly I've played Spirit HD too, but that doesn't cause it.
So what do you guys reckon, is it more likely a hardware issue or is this something that a driver update could fix, and is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks
Apparently the attachment didn't work, so here's a link: img713. imageshack.us/img713/7762/phonebug.jpg (remove space after the first dot)
enough with this FUD the screens are not junk, in fact they are amazing and made iphone owners shivers
the software has a glitch causing all sort of graphical corruption ie not the screen, glitches that goes away are software, glitches appearing in the same place in all phones are software, glitches that never manifest in certain apps are also a sign of software issue
software is no problem, no one updates their phones faster than HTC

OK fair enough, but given the amount of people complaining about screen flex issues and the like, surely I can be forgiven for thinking otherwise?
I raised the topic because this doesn't seem like the "software issues" that everyone is talking about though (the ones with flickering status bar etc).
Thanks for your input

A red box around the whole screen? I think that's caused by the keyboard. I never experienced this on my phone because i use swype but i see it very often if i use the emulator. try a different keyboard. perhaps this fixes your issue.

i think that's a debug option in developer settings...indicates whenever menu speed is above a certain threshold afaik...i might be wrong though.
disable "Strict mode", reboot, wipe cache & dalvik for the hell of it...
Now you can enjoy SGS3 Smart Stay funcionality in HOX too. Download ISeeyou app from Play Store to get the feature.

Thanks. It works, now just have to monitor on the battery life.
Btw, would like to ask on the notification icon, is it possible to set it to show only when the "smart stay function" is activated during looking at screen?
Nothing happens on my one!!!!

Haha. You have to stare really really hard at the front camera. I kid
What's your screen off time? If you set it to the lowest for the screen to turn off after 15 sec, it might not work since the free version of the app detects your face every 20sec by default.
Get the paid version and you can set face detect time and scan time
it works quite well I must say

As @samuelong87 mention buy Premium version so that you can customize the time. It works perfectly at my side.
Smart Stay would be a nice feature to have but I would like to think that the app would somehow drain lots of battery.. abusing the front camera every half a minute or so would somehow have an impact I'm sure.
I wonder if the S3 would have enhanced battery life if they disabled the Smart Stay option.

but i just purchased it and i will test
this is not interfering in any way to the auto brightness settings in in display as far as i can see.
it would be more than interesting to have an option to auto power off display after no face detecting (with customizable timing of course)

ISeeYou Causing Issues On My HOX
I have the HOX International. I used this app, and though it's a great concept, I was left largely dissatisfied by it.
While it works as advertised, I'm peeved with a couple of issues:
1) It blocks BOTH the front and back cameras. Try accessing the camera app while the service is ON and you only get a black screen.
2) It seems to hog battery occasionally (although this happens rarely).
3) I had the service to autostart, and received the shock of my life when around 1 hour into my day, I found that the rear camera was heating up. This might be a direct consequence of point 1 above.
I am on Stock and have the latest firmware update.
I don't know if any of you are facing these issues, but I've uninstalled the app ever since I started facing it.
Just a friendly heads up!

The camera works well here! But, when I launched it from lock screen, it was blank. After unlocking properly with the secure path I use, both front and back cameras worked! (Newest wwe firmware.)
BUT: it DOES brake Face Unlock! I already sent a bug report e-mail to the dev
Used to work ok,then stoped without reason and I got blank screen with stock and other camera app(FV 5 and ics+).Unistalled it,but still had to reboot phone to get camera working properly.Installed it again,it works now,stock camera is working as well as FV5,with ics + , it gets FC sometimes...very nice idea,needs some polishing.

I had haven't any problem as you wrote.
And also battery brain is normal from the moment front camera open for checking every 20". But no something special.
Anyway I think we dont need so match this future. At smartphones screen is so small, so when you read anything you need to scroll down. It's meaning if you touch the screen will continue to stay wakeup. I would like to have something like that in my iPad.
I can't get this working
I've been able to replicate this issue on my G4 (815T Australian model) on a daily basis, just on the instagram app though.
I recorded a video of it. Slowmo part shows the issue
https://goo.gl/photos/F823e125PQckCPLp6
The screen seems confused and it just scrolls the other way even if my thumb wasn't touching the screen.
Factory data reset did not fix anything.
Are you able to replicate this LG G4 owners?
I don't use Instagram, so can't help with that app, sorry.
But if you go into Developer Options, and turn on "Show touch data", it might help add some more info to the discussion. It will show a trace on the screen of what the phone's touchscreen interpreted from your last tap/swipe.
It would presumably show a swipe up, and then back down, when you're getting these ghost touches that change the scroll direction. But perhaps it could also help show if swipes are interpreted the same way in other apps. It might help you learn a little more about what the phone is seeing, at least.
Thanks for the video and everything but why a new thread? Plenty of videos on the main thread.

You can try to change the touch feedback time from short to medium under settings/accessibility/motor & cogination. This will reduce the touch feedback time. Give it a try, and see if it gets better.

Well this problem is only related to the LG G4 and IG for me...I don't have any other touchscreen problems with this phone. So for me I guess this is not hardware related. During the day I just had 2 small "ghost touches", way better than before. Will see how it goes the next few days...
Edit :
after a view days, it looks like it didn't solve this issue. Today I notice the ghost touches were there again in IG
Force GPU rendening under Developer options somewhat helped.
The new v10f on my Australian G4 didn't fix the issue as well.
Any updates on this? I had same issue. N this is a replacement unit after 2.5 weeks of waiting
Just day one and this ghost touch come up.
I also have this problem
Did you solve the problem?
I am facing similar issue.between...i am not using ig.
I've had this issue as well (not just IG) and sent the phone back for servicing. It was sent back to me with a report showing that they'd done a few things but the problem is still there. I'd been thinking I'd send it back in once more and ask them to have another look. I'm getting ghost touches everywhere and quite a bit, it's very annoying.
Someone mentioned there was another, large thread about this issue but I can't seem to find it, can anyone point me to it?
Hi, I posted this in a new thread yesterday as I couldn't find anything. Never thought to search for 'ghost taps' duh.
Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.
Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.
I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.
It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.
Thought it might have been only when connected to data but has now done it when offline.
Any one got a solution? Does a custom rom fix?
Hello guys!
I have bought a brand new Mate 20 X just 3 days ago!
I noticed that some times I click something and it wont do anything or do it with delay and sometimes I click on something and it vibrates like it did it but nothing happened (like home button for example).
Does anyone else face this issue? do you know how to fix it?
Have a great day!
Nothing here, I also use the gestures so never use the home button. Is it specific apps that cause issues or just in general?

Yep, it happens to me quite frequently. I don't think it has anything to do with the screen though. Do you have a nano memory card? Are you stock? What apps have you installed? What browser do you use? Mine started doing it after the 192 update (I think) and has been doing it ever since whether I'm on stock or on a custom rom. You'll tap a program and see that it selected but sometimes it takes like five to ten seconds to open.

I thought I was the only one with this issue.
After flashing the Resurrection Remix rom I have never encountered this problem.
I'll be going back to stock soon so I'll see if the problem still exists.
Mine works perfectly. Even with the protective film scratched. Worked perfectly with my previous screen protector, a tempered glass type. I have the chinese EVR-TL00 midnight blue model. Everything stock, no root.
I also have this problem
You're not alone, this is happening to me as well on the EVR-L29. In my experience it is most noticeable when tap typing and a letter I tapped on does not register. Also, once in a while when I tap on an app to open it nothing happens and I'll have to tap it again for it to open. It's a mild annoyance for me, but not to the point of ruining the experience. I'm hoping a future software update addresses this, unless it's hardware related. I love the phone, but this is probably my biggest gripe outside of the possibility of no future upgrades in Huawei's spat with the US.
