Hi,
I have an unlocked, but branded to T-Mobile UK, DHD and I was wondering if my bootup/startup time was normal at 1m48s. In some of the youtube reviews it appears the DHD should start much quicker.
Are there any utilities that can help clean up and increase the performance of my phone? It really does seem to be much less responsive these days.
Cheers,

Hi if your phone is branded to t-mobile then yes 2 minutes seems about right for the start up time, but only after you have removed the battery. Normal start up time for when u have not removed the battery prior to turning on should be 5-10 seconds. Hope this helps

Have you enabled 'Fast boot' in power settings?
If so, (without removing the battery) the phone will boot almost instantly. This is because the phone isn't actually turned off when you power down. It just goes into an ultra low power state.
If you do not have the setting enabled, the phone powers down fully when switched off and will therefore take longer to boot up.
Nope, fast boot was not enabled!
I found it in Settings->Applications->Fast Boot
Thanks for the replies!

Never shuts down. I always have to take battery out. It just stays on the 'shutting down...' menu with the blured background.
How do I fix it?
This is a stock, unbranded desire from 3UK.

I used to have this problem, it did eventually shut down after about 10 minutes though.
I gave up trying to fix it and now it no longer does it.
I used to have the same problem but it seames to have dissaprared. I can't say I have a solution but you might want to try this:
- power of your phone (take out battery if needed)
- power on the phone while holding the menu key; this will make your phone enter safe mode i.e. no third party apps will be available, just the system ones
- let it finish the whole startup sequence and then turn of your phone and restart normally again
Please report back if this solves the problem.
its usually linked to task managers,
Used to have it all the time, but since i dont use any task managers, everything is fine
Good luck

I've noticed I get this problem too sometimes. I think it has a lot to do with android trying to shut down all the runing processes. Do you have a non HTC or Google live wallpaper (especially a graphic intensive one) ? do you get a lot of e-mails/tweets/texts tun up while you are shutting down, do you plug your phone in to charge as you are shutting down. All these things leave the system with lots to do and I think that if the efect is the same as if you were trying to do too many things on an underpowered windows PC, there is a logjam of things all wanting to happen at the same time. This will eventually clear, but it take a while as noted above.
I found the solution on mine after a month of taking out the battery which is not good for the phone.so to make it shut down you have to turn off the WIFI before turning the phone off.i notice no more problem..so try that and let me know if it worked.
I got this problem as well and it WAS annoying (must took out battery!).
Here is THE solution:
Before shutting down:
- Turn OFF WiFi
- Go to settings -> SD-Card -> click UNMOUNT ...
Reboot.
That's it
In addition, I also download this FREE "SDRescan" app:
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.bero.sdrescan/
And did rescan BEFORE UNMOUNT
The time to boot is now shorten to few seconds max 1 minute or so.
This depending how many apps do you have installed!
I hate it when people ask questions, get suggestions on how to solve their problems but then NEVER give feedback.
its went away now and shut downs instantly, i just pressed shut down and went to sleep for the night, since then its fine.
Quite a few smartphones out there support hibernate. HTC is amongst the manufacturers that makes it possible to completely shutdown the phone and write all memory to a file on the nand which is put back in memory when the phone is turned back on. This way it only takes a few seconds to go from off to fully functioning, practically the same thing computers can do for years. Now I wonder if this could be done with the Defy (and possibly any other Android phone for that matter). I don't know how HTC does it but I guess it's pure software as in not an integrated Android feature. And if they can do it I'm sure some of the XDA guys can do it. Or is that wishful thinking??
Well if you want to save battery, then there are certain task killers which actually closes all the tasks which are not in use but running (excluding ignore list) and this way whenever the screen is turned off, it closes those tasks, that improves the battery. If that is what you meant?
I found this on google:
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/hibernate_ctp.html
No what I mean is in the event you have to shut down the phone entirely that all content in the RAM gets written to nand (or maybe sd). This way when it boots again it simply restores its RAM within seconds, effectively cutting boot time to only a few seconds instead of 40. Compare this with Windows' hibernate function for the pc.
Turns out HTC calls it Fast Boot. It's not a real hibernation function because if you put the phone to sleep with it and remove/replace the battery it would perform a normal cold boot. So it's more of a very low power sleep mode, guess more like a computer's S3 sleepstate where only the RAM stays powered while all the rest (cpu, chipset, video, audio etc) is turned off.
Sounds like a very interesting option, very curious if this would be possible on a defy.
This would be a nice feature.

Totally pointless if you ask me. Just enable airplane mode if you want epic battery life?

Or turn it all the way off and save even more power.
There are also plenty of 'smarter' ways to safe power, such as scheduling the handset to automatically disabling 3G overnight etc, which don't even require you to switch the handset off.
Airplane mode still leaves the cpu switched on. The purpose of that mode is to be still able to use the device without a working connection.
Say you are away from home and didn't bring the charger. Now the battery is almost dead. Then a very low power sleep mode would come in handy because it boots in only a few seconds and after a few more seconds you can turn it 'off' again. Fast and snappy, hardly using any power. And this is XDA so another extremely valid reason to have it is simply because we can. For pc's it's everyday technology so why not make it available on our pocket sized super computers?
I always disable hibernate in my PC.
Actually me too but I do use the sleep mode quite often with my laptop. Works great when you move your laptop a lot to other places but don't want long boot times. It could actually survive days in this mode on a full battery.
I have a weird problem with my HTC One X, the internet seems to go off when the phone is locked at night time even though the battery is like 50%, but when I press the power button to unlock the phone the internet comes back.
Is there like a battery saving option which automatically kicks in at night or when battery is getting low?

I've not noticed the internet going off, but then I don't know when you lock your device.

well I have seen that thread and my Wi-Fi does go off too but don't know why the internet goes off, its weird, I am on 1.28 T-Mobile UK Branded.
Hi Guys,
New to HTC Phones, fairly simple question.
Done a bit of Googling, can't find definitive answer.
Is there any way to disable the power saver mode coming on at 15% on the M9 ?
I've turned it off, and it just comes on at 15% there doesn't seem to be any option to stop this automatically happening.
Again you can turn it off and it seems to stay off, but crossing the 15% threshold triggers it again.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

No one ?

Enjoy it!
Before i can remember turning it off from being enabled, but i think that was only through tweaks.
So eventually we will get it in tweaks here too most likely, just have a little patience to get devs settled in with this phone and more stuff will be available to fully customize this phone
Can't you just turn in off or set it on like 5%?
Long story short ... No lol only 15%

I'm experiencing a weird problem with my M8. The unit would turn itself off all of a sudden. This happens without a low battery warning and no other error messages or warning displayed on screen. No beeps or audio cues, either. I would be looking at it and using it as per normal when it would just power down and turn off all by itself. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. In both instances, they have these in common:
a) Battery was low but not critically so. IIRC, the first time it happened the battery was at 25% and the latest incidence the battery was at 18%. The low battery warning usually given at 15% power wasn't displayed.
b) In both cases, I've just only turned the display on & started using the M8 for less than 15 seconds before it turns off.
c) In both instances, the mobile data & GPS was on. Wifi was off. Phone wasn't charging and the camera/flash was also off.
What I do after this happens is I would go home & charge the phone using the original M8 charger. The charging battery icon would be displayed and the charging level tallies with the last charge level that I see before the phone turns off. I let the phone charge for about 10 minutes or so before tinkering with it.
What's frustrating is that after these sudden shutdowns, some of my settings were reset & the phone will be wonky. I had to re-do the settings in both the settings app & also Google settings according to my preferences. Some default apps were cleared as well, so the phone would ask which app I'd like to use for my Home screen (either Sense Home or Nova Launcher, which I use exclusively). Some developer options were reset too, e.g animation scale etc. Other basic settings as well, such as auto updating apps in Google Play Store.
Also, first time it happened, I was locked out of my phone. The lock screen is displayed but all the PIN combinations I've tried seems to be wrong. The lock screen would go off after I try inputting the PIN. Restart by pressing vol button with power button didn't work at all. I'd touch the screen, the lock screen will be displayed, I'd try inputting PIN but I guess it's wrong because the screen just goes off. In the end, I had to reset the PIN number using Android Device Manager on Chrome running on my desktop PC. Only then was I able to access my phone. My wallpaper was reset, although my app icons on the desktop was the same as before. Apps were all there.
The 2nd time this happened was yesterday. I wasn't locked out of my phone but all my text messages (SMS) were lost. No other loss of data, as far as I can tell. But some of the settings, default app preferences & also app permissions were reset. Had to redo them all over again. Getting a bit tiring, this.
I don't understand what's happening. My M8 is on 6.0, stock ROM & unrooted. Never rooted. I've done the battery calibration steps once but that was before the Marshmallow update. When my M8 was running Lollipop, there were times when it would turn itself off as well but it was triggered by using the camera flash at low battery levels. However, settings, app preferences & permissions were not reset at all then.
Has this happened to anyone? What could be wrong? Would appreciate any & all feedback Thanks in advance.
This happens to me too. My battery is dodgy and it turns itself off when the battery is displaying anywhere up to 30%!! What I have found is that if you attempt to turn the phone on and it turns back off during the boot process then this is what screws up the settings. As long as it is charging and completes the boot without turning off then the settings are fine.
This is a MM problem. Wasn't present with LP as you and others have reported.
The only possible fixes on your end is to do a factory reset and then run the phone down until it shuts off and then charge to 100% with the phone still off. You can also try holding power+vol up+vol down for 2 minutes. This should wipe battery calibration stats. These suggestions may or may not resolve the problem but are worth trying.

Its happening to me!
I thought this was MM issue but i have flashed cm 14.1 and still the same problem is happening. My phone turns of somewhere between 15%-30% everytime. I have tried re-calibrating the battery but it didn't help. Now i am thinking to sell the device due to this issue.
My girlfriend had the same problem with her HTC one M8.
I've replaced the memorycard with a new one last week and it didn't happen since. Hopefully this will solve the problem
Hi together.
I want to give an information about my experience with sudden shut off. I had this issue with my M8 since about six months now. Tried the stuff with recalibrating the accu without success.
Last thing I did was changing the accu. And now everything is all right. The power is remaining much longer over the daily use and I can bring it down below 15% without sudden death.
