Hi,
I've recently bought an M8 and am very pleased with every aspect of it :laugh:
I've read somewhere that the music player could display songs lyrics, and have tryed so myself with the built in music, though, when i tryed this with my own songs (which I have downloaded, since practicly no digital music stores works in my country) and it didn't work...
I have tryed to press the "Update lyrics" button and got a notification saying it has found the lyrics, but nothing happens
What can i do to make this feature work?
Thanks in advance.

Oh, thank you!
I see that I need my device to be rooted...
All my previous devices were Samsung, and i know that for all the matters of rooting and flashing, HTC devices are different than samsung.
I'd be glad if you could give me a guide which explains how to root HTC one M8.
And I hope it's not risky, since I've bought my M8 in Hong Kong which is not my country, so trying to get a replacement would be a drag..
If it matters, my device is the 2.5GHZ version..

Ok, this guide will take you through the process of unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery and rooting your device. This procedure carries no real risk.
If you're not familiar with htc devices then I suggest you unlock, flash recovery and root then leave it there. Don't continue to s-off until you are confident that you know how and why as s-off does introduce more risk

Hi,
I recently bought a HTC Desire from Orange and wanted to ask about a free strobe application, which could 'dance' to music.
I basically want the LED flash to strobe in response to music speeds. I have TeslaLED (Which is amazing) and which has a strobe, but with manual speed controls.
I found this, http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/led-music-beat-strobe_fqez.html which could do it, but is unfortunately off the Market (According to a UK Desire on Orange)
Please help! (Also I like the new 'searches as you type thread name' thing!)
Thanks in advance,
Dylan
Try MarketAccess, the app should still be there

Ah, thanks very much for the reply. Unfortunately I have not rooted my device, and I really don't want to (after bad experiences with other phones)
Any other suggestions?

I upgraded to firmware 2.09.720.1 and I have noticed that there have been major improvements in performance.
The phone does not lag anymore.
Also I noticed that the Media Link HD has been added to connectivity.
I wanted to know if any other improvements have been made by this upgrade, since I could not find any log stating the changes...

True, that.

I am in India too and I got the update. I have unlocked the bootloader and I was surprised that I got the OTA working without requiring locking it. Maybe it is a requirement for running RUU only. All I had to do was flash back the stock recovery for the OTA flashing to work.
Edit:
Update gave me a new baseband and that renders the RUU I have useless. Started getting reboots when answering phone calls. Went back my trusted modaco vanilla and a kernel I have built updated to kernel verrsion 3.0.38
How?? Cz I'm looking in the updates its telling me my phone is up to date

NO. Instead, switching between tabs is smoother and faster after the update.. I don't have the Calendar/Agenda issue..
The Network Operator name is also fixed.
On the lock screen and in the notification bar it used to show "airtel".
Now it shows "AirTel"

I am thinking of buying a htc one V,my requirements are moderately heavy games, apps and not too much multitasking..
since both the One V and Ace 2 have similar price, what phone would you recommend?
Thanks n advance

For heavy gaming the Ace 2 would be probably better (2 core, but 800mhz vs 'ghz simple core, and MALI400 vs Adreno205, and more RAM). The question is that the look of the phone will be enough for you

Hello all,
I have a HTC One M8 that i want to connect with my volkswagen RNS 315 device with build-in bluetooth but for some reason he doesnt see the device when i scan for bluetooth carkit. I am running my M8 on the latest Viper Rom with the lastest firmware.

Hi there.
In my previous car I had a RNS510. In the car under the seat was a bluetooth module that used a Nokia (yeah really) protocol to connect phones to it, called RSAP. Its only built in a specific range of VAG cars in a short periods. I was a lucky one (not!) to get one.....
To get Bluetooth connectivity I used an app from Play Store as described here: http://goo.gl/eJxOUF.
My advice: check if it is RSAP by using the trial version of the software. The actual software isn't free. I got functionality (not full tho) with the app.
Edit: it connected my DHD, OneX and my m8 with it.

Hi Steven,
Just did some quick research and it seems to use a2dp. And this is supported by the m8 out of the box.
Not on Viper anymore, but can you confirm if the next lib is still there:
/system/lib/hw/audio.a2dp.default.so
If so, can you tell me if you are using sound mods like HK or Viper4android?
Edit: just trying to eliminate some possibilities. Strange thing is that your iPhone4 and the Lumia don't work either.

Just downloaded Viper and it should be there. What I would do:
1. Dirty flash Viper
2. Remove all bt contacts
3. Rename your phone name to fi m8
4. Try again
If not: try to pair your phone with bt to another one. If that works, it has to be your RNS
Then I would check RNS firmware if it's the last version available.
Thanks MarckX,
Do you mean the rom or viper4android ?

Lolol, that's a valid question. The ROM I mean. Dirty flash, so you won't have to do a new setup.

I have done the dirty flash and changed the name like you said MarckX but still nothing sadly. only good thing is that my phone screen of my RNS315 changed there is just standing Phone instead that there is no phone found or to connect text. Connecting with a iphone or lumia with bluetooth on the HTC took some time to work after 2 reboots.
I've noticed this for a while and it's driving me nuts. For whatever reason the audio comes out about 80/20 with 80% of the sound on the right side. I've tested with multiple headphones and LG Tone+ Bluetooth headphones. I've also used multiple audio apps including a youtube video that's made to test sound from right/left speakers. Any ideas? I'm running Viper as my daily driver but also have installed Fluent's Lollipop rom via MultiROM and it's the exact same. If it was just headphones I'd think it was something with the connection but it's also an issue with bluetooth. I thought maybe I could just find an app to adjust the balance but I can't find any app that adjusts left/right balance either.
Thanks for any input!

What kind of attitude is that, like all other posts where you seem to offer help but actually post nothing but random text. Making up things that the OP "might" want to do to his phone.
It comes to my conclusion that you have a very strange way of thinking/posting.
I hope you will at least consider to offer true help and post what you actually know.

Agreed!
I updated my kernel to one that works with fauxsound and was able to bump up the left side when using headphones so it sounds better via headphones but no change via bluetooth. Can't seem to find an app that edits bluetooth left/right gain... Still doesn't make sense to me why my phone would have this issue with both bluetooth and regular headphones. Very odd!
UniversalKID said:

And no some devices do not have it. It's either a software or a hardware problem of any kind and should not be there. When it can be changed via audio enhancing software it's fine if the user likes that solution too.
A device that comes with this price "should" be flawless.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not sure when this issue started but it hasn't always been that way. Viper4Android seems to be the best solution I can find currently as you can change the left/right values via Channel Panning for bluetooth and headphones (0.9:0.1 seems best).
I doubt it's software since I've tried multiple kernels/roms and even reflashed firmware this morning. If it really is hardware though I'm not familiar with the process to get a replacement under warranty. Might need to look into that I guess.
I think maybe when Sprint releases lollipop I'll look into running a RUU and see if that fixes the issue. I'm s-off so shouldn't be a problem doing a RUU I don't think.

Agree, since your version has an RUU, run it. If that doesn't fix it, might be a hardware issue.
Hi everyone,
I'm waiting for my phone to arrive, hopefully it'll be here in the next few days. I came across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrclBFu3JyE that claims to be able to unlock the bootloader without the wait times. Does anyone know if this is legit? I can't test it until I get my device.
It'd be super handy if it works as the 7 day wait sounds unnecessary and painful.
If anyone can try it let us know how it goes.
ps. on a side note, how annoying is it that 90+% of the youtube videos on this device have English titles but the videos themselves are in other languages..?

Don't believe those videos its 99% of the time a scam/virus etc.
Just get the phone, set it up, bind your mi account under Dev settings - bootloader unlock and then wait 7 days (pretty sure it was 14 for some of my devices). Necessary evil with Xiaomi (trying to slow down resellers who flash global firmware etc). While you wait, don't install too many apps etc coz unlocking wipes the device
Don't be tempted with hacks and stuff.
