HTC One M8 with Ingress

Has anyone tried Ingress with the M8 yet. I'm curious how the GPS performs with all the metal in this phone.

No issues here. The GPS really shouldn't be any different for ingress than other apps. Though the ingress compass appears permanently broken. Other apps have no problem with the compass but ingress can't get it right no matter what I do.

I have no issues at all, not even with the compass. I feel like its not using the right drawables, buttons and other UI elements seem oversized but GPS, etc. work great.
Edit: The LTE coverage around here is great and I don't have to deal with the drop-back to 3G (which basically kills ingress) like I had to with the One S. That, plus the slightly larger battery makes this a much better Ingress phone than my old one.

Turn the back of the phone to the sky!

I got the compass to work with the m8 in Ingress! All you have to do is point the back of the phone directly up. After trying that orientation I tried some others and as it turns out, landscape works too. Keep in mind for all of these *working* orientations, the top of the phone is your direction vector.
I doubt anyone will play by walking around with their m8 turned screen down (and walking backwards), but the landscape orientations might help

are you all having any issues with Ingress after 1.54?
I can't see myself anymore. The arrow and circle are both gone.

That happens randomly on every device once in a while. My M8 works awesome for Ingress. Great GPS & LTE & my compass work perfectly in any orientation. With Flar2's ElementalX & a couple of tweaks, I get 5+ of Ingress screen on time.
BTW, that issue I've never had on the M8, but N7 & N5. A wipe of cache & dalvik with a reboot usually fixes it.

Make sure you do a full power down of the phone (Turn off Fast boot in the Power menu) and bring it back up. I only see this issue when I switch SIM cards and doing a full power off fixes it for me.

app restart while opening media files and passcodes
Hey guys,
I'm having issues when trying to open media files or submitting passcodes.
The app restarts to scanner. Tried several things: set chrome to default browser, made sure YouTube is working, but nothing seems to do the trick.
Have a rooted M8, almost stock Rom..
Anyone ideas what problem might be ?

Mine is stock non-rooted. No issues here.

Install button not working

Hi,
Fairly basic Android user here with an irritating problem. Running whatever the most basic version of Lollipop is on my M8, installed today but this problem has been ongoing well before that.
So the problem is that the 'Install' button here on the screen in the image attached is totally unresponsive, no matter the app I'm trying to install. Showbox is here but that's just because it's an old apk I had on my phone, I've the same problem for anything I've tried.
In the fine words of Ned Flanders' father, I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas - thought it best to ask for advice from people who know more than me. Any advice much appreciated!

You have allowed installation of apps from unknown sources in settings > security > unknown sources, correct?

I have indeed!

Do you have any screen dimming app installed? I've had the same issue on my phone with total screen control, whenever I tried to install an app with TSC running the install button was unresponsive. When I stopped TSC from running I could press install without issue.

Some apps will for some reason stop you from hitting install. For example.... I use copy bubble... Which has a floating circle for accessing the clipboard. If that bubble is on my screen, I can't hit install... No matter where the bubble is on my screen. I just close the bubble and it's fine.
Look at apps that may be causing the same affect. ?

Just to confirm that this was the issue, would never had occurred to me! Was using Twilight, turning it off sorted it out. Thanks a million!

Glad you got it figured out. :highfive:

Problems with Android Wear

Hello everyone,
I have some problems with android wear. I’m not getting notifications on my watch and there is a message in the home of android wear that says "Notification stopped syncing". It happens sometimes, not always. What can I do? I tried to reset my phone, my smartwatch, the android wear app and moto connect but nothing is changed.
ps. I turned off doze for this app.

I have a Moto 360 and it works fine with m'y OP3

I found the problem. I noticed that it happens when I tap the "clean" button in multitasking. After this the only way to solve that problem is to turn off the device and turn it on again. So if someone is making a rom please solve this problem!

Thx had the same problem. Thought it was something with battery optimalisation.

You can lock the AndroidWear app in the multitasking screen by clicking on the lock button on the top right.

the "clean" function clears all apps/services/etc from RAM which is something that never needs to be done on Android.
The problem isn't with android wear, it's just a function which shouldn't be included in the ROM at all - don't use clean and youll be fine.

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.

I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!

I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

Yes dude, that's correct and thanks for that valuable information I do clean my cache regularly and can't say I've come across the problem for a while, so thanks again.

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.

Musixmatch app problem.

Hi! I wanted to install this app for using it's floating window functionality, but when I go to enable it, as the screen is on landscape mode, and I guess the resolution is to low? (1280x600), instead of showing the entire window, it shows me only the red area on the picture, making it impossible to enable the "draw on screen" function.
Any guess?

Sorry to Bump an old thread, but does anybody have an input on this? Having the same issue

So here was my process, I should mention this was on a PX5 Dasaita MTCD(E) I noticed after the fact this was for MTCB.
Installed system updates to latest, MCU as well, I then rooted the head unit and tried to use a resolution changing app to see if it would allow me to see the permission button, in doing so it got stuck sideways without showing apps and I had to factory reset the head unit and start over.
In the end after reorganizing and installing apps, the head unit is now unrooted I'm pretty sure, I went into the advanced menu in app permissions for Musixmatch, and toggled the "Draw over apps" switch to ON, it somehow seemed to work because it didn't when I tried that before root, all of a sudden the app started drawing over like normal and floating lyrics worked.
I mention all this only because it might have something to do with the root/fresh install that allowed it to work. At the end of the day the app is sort of sluggish, floating icon looks blurry, and it seemed to cause the unit to spaz out and freeze up when running the floating lyrics with Google Maps + Spotify, too much to handle I guess.
I hope it helps to some degree! My advice would be to mess with the permission setting and reboot it before rooting unless you're comfortable rooting just for the hell of it.
