Dropping GPS Signal - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having GPS issues since the 4.4.3 OTA. I use Endomondo Pro when I run and had no issues before the recent OTA. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this, the gps drops for 1km and then reconnect s but it messes up my workout slightly.

Not sure. Everything is great on my end. Have you done a factory reset? Seems to help most people after OTA's.

Anyone else with GPS problems in general?

I am having the same problem and with last update I feel that the issue is worst. I read post in other blogs that show the same problem and associate it with WIFi calling, but I donĀ“t have it on my M8 as I use an International Rom. Any idea how to solve it will be appreciated.

3G disconnect with market access

Hello!
Anyone else having trouble with 3G networks disconnecting when opening market and marketaccess is enabled? Seeme to happen most often at startup. Is there a way around this or is it just something we have to coap with? The connection seemed to come back after a while or if I use the widget to switch mobile networks off and on again.
Is this maybe better with marketenabler?

Bluetooth help for 4.3 update

I'm starting this thread to start a conversation that hopefully leads to a solution. Since updating to 4.3, Bluetooth has been wonky. It worked perfectly at first, but now it won't transmit any data. From searching, I can tell I'm not the only one with the issues, but no one wants to help the people who have pleaded for help.
Now, I will clarify that I am using two devices that use the apt-x profile. I have a Plantronics bt headset that does use this and I have a little more luck connecting with that.
The info I've found in searching is erratic at best, but no clear solution is stated. So, if you know a fix, let me/everyone know here. You can also share about roms where Bluetooth connections have been working for AT LEAST a week since everyone's bt works at first.
At the very least, subscribe to the topic if you can so that you can come back and share any progress or tips you might stumble on. Thanks.

I've been using the S3Rx 3.0 rom for almost a week without any Bluetooth issues. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252932
I've noticed some volume variances when notifications come in, but nothing that would qualify as a malfunction.

Well, that rom had the same issues as the rest as of a few days ago.
Now trying the latest Intergalactic (4.1). May give Quantum a shot next.
I'll keep uploading this thread since it is getting plenty of views from folks who may be having the same issues or on the same search.

I am now certain there is either an app causing my issues (highly unlikely) or there is simply an issue with bluetooth on the 4.3 update (most likely). It has been a frustrating journey. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
I am currently using my third Galaxy S3 (long story) and all have had the same issues with the 4.3 update. AT&T Next is looking more attractive these days.

Sounds like a bug in the Bluetooth stack. Did you do all the formats available? Sometimes past ROMs will mess with the WiFi and bluetooth stacks. I suggest a full format, including system and /data/data

I'm having a similar problems when i try to turn on Bluetooth it goes light green for a few seconds the turns back off.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wifi issue after 4.4.3 update

Hi, after 4.4.3 update i have a problem with my wifi, once enabled it is fast but after a while it becomes slow, very slow... Signal is at maximum but it keeps uploading and downloading in vain, i tried many options in the wifi advanced menu but it didn't work, i must switch wifi off/on to solve the problem.
I am on stock rooted rom, i am going to downgrade the firmware because it worked very well on last version, do you have any suggestions ?
Thx for your help.
PS : I tested with different routers.

How did you update, by OTA?
If not a "clean" install (wipe user data) I would suggest doing a factory reset. Random bugs after an OTA are often (although not always) caused by incompatibity with some pre-existing user data, and frequently resolved by wiping data.
Otherwise, downgrading firmware might help as you mentioned (as WiFi module is usually one of the firmware updates). Although this might cause other issues (slow boot, broken WiFi or Bluetooth).
First time i had the problem with ota update, then i did a factory reset and wiped everything issue persists.
I found on the Internet that nexus users have the same problem.
I think that downgrading the firmware is the only solution for me now but it is strange that i am the only one who is facing this issue on HTC M8.

I would not take a different phone having a similar issue to mean anything.
You haven't stated what version, CID, etc. you have. Each carrier version has its own software version, so possibly there is a bug in your carrier software/firmware. On the other hand, if its a common CID on here and other have not had the issue, then something else is going on.

That is probably the most common software version here. As it doesn't seem to be a widespread issue, I think something else is going on. Maybe try to re-install the OTA as maybe it was just a bad install? Or try a 2.22 based custom ROM to see if the problem persists? I'm just brainstorming a bit here.
I tested the Venom ROMs, with 1.8.0 and last firmware no problem, with 2.0 and 2.22 firmware i have the issue
Thx for your help anyway.

Thank you for your quick answer.
What do you mean by wifi repeater?
It takes the existing wifi and rebroadcasts it to have a better signal.

Anyone else have this since update?

Just noticed this. Mobile data still shows while on WiFi or turned off. I've rebooted a couple of times (even turned off mobile data, then restart, still shows) but it won't go away. No a huge deal... Just not right and bothers me.

Yeah mine is doing the same thing, wasn't doing that before the update.
I've always had it shown. And I don't know why.

That's strange, mine would only show Wi-Fi when it was on the 4g would only show while using data.
same here, if I believe the Verizon GS5 forums, same happened to them when Volte was pushed on their phones...

Are you running stock rom? Viper gives you the option to turn this on/off in their tweaks.

Ever since the update my Spotify and Tunein keep telling me I am offline when I am not on Wifi, yet my browser works perfectly fine when using data...
Do you think having both is causing apps to have this issue?

I don't use either of those so I couldn't tell ya. I did notice that my 4g icon changed to 4g lte while I was on WiFi, makes me think it's still reading towers? Idk...

I have the same issue and a buddy of mine has the same issue also. I went to the TMO store to check their display phone which was already updated to 4.4.4 and that also has the same issue. So it's definitely a software bug since it was not doing this on 4.4.3. Basically when turning on wifi your mobile data should automatically turn off, it's not doing this on 4.4.4 and thus your battery drains faster since both are on, you have to manually turn off data. And when you do turn off data, the icon still remains even though it's not active. Only airplane mode would get rid of the data icon.
Seems like they're issues relating to calling and the camera also, though I haven't been able to test these myself. But overall I'd say 4.4.4 is a buggy release, battery drains a little quicker too.

I have the same problem, fully stock, never rooted. I did wipe the cache partition but that didn't make any difference. I would be curious to see if it persists after a full wipe but I don't really want to do that to mine at the moment.

Yeah don't waste your time with a factory reset, I did this 2 times before I called a buddy of mine and also checked the display phone at the store. Its a software bug and everything I tried has had no effect, problem still present. Hopefully HTC releases a patch soon to fix this because data is constantly on, it does not sleep. The battery definitely drains a little quicker.
Weird, I don't seem to have this issue. Running latest OTA, stock with root.

The icon is on... But its not active... U can tell its active when the arrows under it flashing. I also didn't notice its effect the battery.

I too have been having a lot of trouble with this update. Four or five of my programs that would work over 4G now only work when I'm connected to WiFi. I'm still able to watch Youtube and surf the web, but it's extremely aggravating not being able to play my games while I'm on the train to work. I wonder if it has to do with the radio update they pushed with the 4.4.4 release.

[Q] 5.0 bluetooth

Hellooo.
So I've been running lolipop since the factory image was released. Since then, I've noticed that bluetooth is an utter fail. I'm using a pair of creative WP350's and it's constantly dropping the connection and losing sync with videos.....driving me nuts. Tested the headphones on a PC, no problem
Anyone else suffering?
