While in phone conversation I often use a speaker. For a last few weeks I have a problem. After few minutes the speaker shuts off and the phone goes to the standard (non speaker) mode. This causes of course problems because the other party can talk and if my phone is resting on the desk I cannot hear them. I haven't noticed any pattern yet but is seems like it takes about 3-5 min to turn off. This is standard phone (no root) but I have plenty of Apps. No sure what might have caused that. I was thinking about restoring to the factory setting or rooting, but this will require running some backups, etc and I really do not have time for that right now. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I'll start off by saying I have a rooted R800x using the stock rom (but this problem stems back to before it was rooted).
When I turn off my screen and go to put it in my pocket, I sometimes notice the screen comes back on for no apparent reason. This is a problem because I use widgetlocker to replace my lockscreen. So, my leg will start up pandora or xiaalive unintentionally and then I have a dead battery in a couple hours because of the constant data stream (muted phone means I don't know it's running).
I'm curious if anyone else has this problem or has any solutions if they know what it could be. I don't think I'm sliding the phone enough for it to come back on. A lot of times, I notice it happens a couple seconds after I turn the screen off and move the phone down to my pocket. I always do a double take now just to make sure the screen is off before putting it in.
Thanks.
I got my N7 2013 model less than a month ago and I've run into my first issue so far. I'm not sure if its a major problem or not. Here is what occurred. When my tablet was -plugged- in and fully charged this morning I was using it to check my email. I couldn't help but notice a subtle amount of static coming out of the tablet every time I pressed something on screen (for example opening an email or deleting something). I had not noticed this before because it is fairly subtle and my room was very quiet the first time in a while. It however stopped as soon as I unplugged it. The problem resumes when o plug it back in. Each press on the screen leads to a static buzzing from the tablet like radio interference.
I'd like to see of anyone can recreate this. Here is what I exactly did:
1) The tablet was fully charged and still plugged in.
2) Be in a very very quiet room. No fan noise.
3) Use the GMail app and open some emails. Anything that makes key press noise should do.
4) Listen closely after each key press.
5) Redo all this without it charging.
The only reason I worry is that I don't want this to be a faulty circuit board issue or battery issue.

Hi guys
I got an HTC M8s less than 2 months now and it has so many issues it's driving me insane at this stage....
It's on stock ROM unrooted with all the latest updates.
First issue that came up was not recognising the headphones after i plugged them in, that eventually went away after lots of searching and fiddling with settings etc.
Then it started going into Car mode while it was resting on the table, no input on my end no triggers set for it, hell i don't even own a car to use this function....
I disabled HTC car and that stopped.
The included micro usb cable somehow went bad, tried it on other devices, it will not charge....
Now i'm having some weird charging behaviour, it drops out of charging and resumes or sometimes it just stops charging (that doesn't happen when the phone is charging while being switched off, so i'm guessing it's not a hardware issue)
Another massive problem is that all incoming/outgoing calls go to the speaker which almost burst my ear drum first time that happened.
I have looked in every single forum out there and have tried all possible solutions, ranging from disabling google Chrome to trying every available speaker management/toggle related program on the play store but nothing seems to be working.
Some times if i plug in the headphones, make a call and then unplug them, then it works as it should for a little while. But later on it reverts to the previous mentioned behaviour.
One thing i have noticed, before it routes calls to the speaker, the screen will light up, no notifications come up and then all calls go to the speaker.
I used Wakelock to try and find out which program triggers the screen wake in order to remove it and maybe solve this issue but nothing came up.
Any input would be greatly appreciated as i am at the end of my rope with this device....
I still have my HTC DHD A9191 and i never had any issues with that phone, i'm very dissappointed with HTC :/
Thanks in advance

Less then 2 months......return it ! Not even sure what you want to achieve here besides messing up warranty ?
I am using Spign slim armor case on m8s and after using it my power button isn't working.
and I have a Motion Launch problem when phone is on my pocket it opens camera, calls someone because of the sensor.Any fix about that?

ok man
look i have htc one m8 + one m7+one max
the one m7 had the same problem of u
i will give to you one solution for try
i try it on the one m7 and its work
but on one max not work
on m8 not test yet
try this:
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging.
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal
if it not charge at the first time then try it again andd u will be OK
Hi Hazem
Thanks for the input, i'll give this a go when i get back home and let you know if it works out.
Should i try this when the phone is at 4-5% ? And then let it charge all the way ?
I'm experiencing these same issues as well after rooting my M8. Hopefully someone here knows what the issue is.
Well for me all issues remain unresolved.
My guess so far for the culprit seems to be the magnetic sensor, either badly programmed or a factory defect.

u must charge ur phone

and try the method
it will work
i test it on 2 one m7 phones
let me know if that work
thx
Sorry Hazeem I understand that English isn't your first language, and you are trying to help but you are not making much sence....
You are basically telling me to charge my phone, then switch it off and charge it again even though it's already charged for another 3 hours....
Ok an update !
HTC Released a service pack along with an update for the car application, after installing these and a couple of reboots the charging problems stopped and the phone doesn't seem to be waking up without any reason, as it did before.
The calls getting routed to the speaker still remain but thanks to an app called Auto Speaker, I've managed to work around this issue. Before the updates this application had no effect, but now it works as it should by turning off the speaker when the proximity sensor is blocked.
I hope I am not celebrating too soon on this and I'll keep this post updated if anything else, related to these issues, happens.
Update 2
So far so good and with another unexpected benefit, I removed my phone from the charger Saturday morning around 11 and as of now Monday 7:30 it's at 27% !
Hello everyone, I just recently got a G3 and it was working fine for the 1st 2 days, no issues. I was sending a text to a friend earlier today and after it sent, it completely froze. After doing a soft reset it took forever to boot up. Once it booted up, it seemed to be fine. about an hour of operation, the screen looked as if it was freezing because it wasn't recognizing any of my touches. i decide to flip the phone sideways to see if it was actually frozen but it changed to landscape just fine. Sometimes it comes back to life then goes off again shortly after, and other times, i have to soft reset. I've tried the following to no avail.
Took the phone apart and cleaned both connectors.
Re-flashing the rom.
Trying 4 other roms.
Returned to lollipop stock.
I can't figure this out for the life to me and worked my ass of to be able to buy this phone. Any help would be appreciated as I can't afford to spend any more money on it!
I also have this issue, it's been ongoing for a few weeks. There will be short periods where it can work just fine, then it just freezes up and does not register any inputs. The content on the screen continues to run as if nothing happened (videos and games keep playing). Turning the screen off, waiting a couple minutes, then turning it on can sometimes give me another minute of use until it freezes up again. Also of note, when the screen is unresponsive and I press the power, it will dim to very low levels for a few seconds before going fully black. When the screen is being responsive and I press the power, it goes straight to black, as is normal and expected. From my testing, I've concluded:
1. This issue is not app dependent. It can occur at any time, and is not caused by alarms or overlays, such as blue light filters.
2. The issue is not from the specific battery I use. I've switched out between multiple batteries and used different chargers, none seem to affect the frequency of freezes.
3. Temperature may have something to do with this. When waking the phone after it's been sitting out in the cold, there seems to be a higher likelihood that it will be unresponsive. This is not always the case, which makes concluding that the issue is hardware related difficult, but some correlation seems to exist.
4. This issue started occurring shortly before I began having the popular "SIM Card Removed" issue, which I've yet to resolve (though can sometimes get the SIM card to work)
I am running stock 6.0 D85030p AT&T. I will post here again if I figure something out, but I have been trying for weeks without much success.
Hey, I wanted to know how can i fix my speakers.
After Keeping my phone idle for some time ,
for like 1-2 hours the speakers just stop working as in, they "start" to work if put in my charging cable,
then that charging up sound makes the speakers start working again.,
so after that,
i use my phone for some time and keep it aside.
And the next time i pick my phone the speaker isn't working.
I've missed all my calls, the media doesn't play, like everything that should make sound isn't.
So restarting makes them come alive again and the charge method, but now after few times even putting it on charging cable doesn't seem work. Also, I've noticed the System UI to be lagging a lot, to a point that it can't keep up with locking/unlocking the phone.
[UPDATE]: Now I've to restart the phone to make them work *every time* I want to use my phone's speaker, they just work for like couple of minutes after restarting and stop working completely agian.

I had faced a similar problem. But in my case, the speakers and headphone jack stopped working for a couple of days. I've did all I could like booting to safe mode, restarting and all but nothing helped.
So when I was just about to take it to the service centre, the speakers miraculously started working in the middle of a call when I by mistakenly turned on the speaker.
I was like dumbstruck and still didn't understand what the problem was...
