Motion gestures - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello every one.
So everyone heard about motion gestures.
I have sense 6 toolbox, and there is an option to have the same features.
But unlike m8, this will use the actual touch screen while the screen is turned off.
Which means that the touch screen will always be activated (24/7)
My question is : will this damage the touch screen? Or its normal for the screen to be activated all the time?
I would really like to have this feature but I'm afraid that it will damage my phone.

On the M8 how do you think is working without the touchscreen? It's not having nothing special, the touchscreen is on even on M8.
And Yes you will not broke your touchscreen.

I'm asking this question because in HTC's website, it says that it works by built in sensors...
But it doesn't make sense, so I created this thread...

It's working with touch screen on and with the Accelerometer on M8 (to force you to put the phone in vertical position).
What HTC is telling us is only marketing, publicity........ and so on.
Why do you think that they don't put this feature in M7? They must say that the M8 is more advanced because is having some magical new sensors only to sell.

Should home and back be illuminated ?

My home and my back arent illuminated I'm sure they were when I got the phone
Reviews show them lit .. before I ring 3 for a replacement I want to check
Thanks

cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

Does Your Home & Back Button Stop Working?

I'm wondering if I've got a faulty device or if it's maybe a software bug. I know there's a topic in the troubleshooting but id like a simple yes or no and if you're using a screen protector or not.
So, do your back & home button stop working randomly for about 10 seconds?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I do not have phone, but as I read not only in this forum but others, use screen protector will cause problem for these button.
If you arwe in same situation better to remove protector and see is it still there.
Yes I had the same problem and it now seems to be fixed after removing the screen protector. It's a bumber as I never use a phone without protecting the screen !!!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I've got a spare so I might cut off the lower portion covering the two buttons. Hope it's a simple fix!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Yes, using official screen protector.
Not willing to take off the screen protector, but the intermittent nature of the issue suggests it us not an issue with the screen protector.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I've managed to cut off the section covering the buttons in hope it'll make a difference
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Anyway it is a problem if use screen protector will cause it.
Anyone not use HTC screen protector but other brand has no problem? Or has same problem?
If the problem happen with any kind screen protector then it is serious.

It's happened to me on many occasions and I've not got a screen protector on. But it works normally most of the time. When it doesn't I just lock and unlock the phone and the buttons start to work again. I'm unsure if it's faulty or not.

According to htc's customer service rep it's a known issue with the sensitivity of the buttons that will be fixed in a coming update.

I am also not using protector and have the issue
Not only button but some time the other part of screen also daily to response
E.g. I notice when I call using Skype it takes 2 to 3 second for call to start after I press the screen
I hope it is not hardware issue and they release an urgent fix or update.
Thanks
Contact them on twitter, they generally get back to you within a day, see what they say.

Also that sounds more like an issue with the app, I had similar problems with some apps on my galaxy s2, as well as on my One. Could be wrong though. If you do contact them please report back to here, id like to know if its a hardware or software problem too.
Unfortunately having the same problem and the phone store and htc are acting like it's my unlocking of the bootloader fault.
Can we say for certain it's a software issue?
I am kind of stressing out over here :-\

I have a newer batch and don't have the issue, sense 1.28
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Get my new one today, people go on about the build quality, it's been overheating, dead pixels, flickering of the screen on the keypad, poor home buttons, scuffs and sharp corners from the metal overhang for me.
If this one sucks I'm just gonna exchange for a GS4 upgrade instead.

I am also on sense 1.28 actually 1.28.401.7 to be exact.
It doesn't happen often and if it's only software then I couldn't give a crappie but I am a but worried that it's a hardware issue.
Edit:
It's back again after sometime. So, raised RMA. Let me see how it goes.
Seems after disabling power saver & enabling haptic feedback, the back button issue hadn't come yet. Just coincidence or fact I'll update after testing further

Enabling haptic feedback seems to solve the issue.

Firmware update has eliminated the problem for me. Night and day difference.

Noticed a new feature( u ppl know aboit it?)

So i was watching tv with my phone head facing towards the tv. I received a phone call and boom, the TV muted automatically. I tried it multiple times with the same result every time
Was this a known feature coz i've never seen or heatd about it before

Not that I ever noticed I got to test it out myself

Yeah. I knew about it. But the ir blaster has to be facing the TV.
Isn't this only a feature in smart remote? I didn't think it was built into sense.

Replacement digitizer

Broke my screen couple of days ago. Searching for digitizer since then on ebay, amazon and etc. Can't find proper one, all of them have Droid DNA or ordinary Butterfly.
Any ideas where I can get one? maybe Taiwanese site?
Thanks!
That sucks. Sorry to hear bro.

ouch that really sucks...
I wonder if Butterfly/Droid DNA's digitizer is compatible, they seem to be almost the same screen, but there are some slight differences though and this may simply be explained by different OEMs. (GSMArena's tests show quite a lot of similarities between Butterfly and Butterfly s screens)
Problem is the that Butterfly doesn't have a second speaker, thus shape of screen is different
I saw etradesupply.com has the screen assembly, you could give it a check

No it's completely normal it is just the camera switching its lens on in order to take a picture.

The purple camera thing is due to the phone being hot.. the Older HTC one's had improper heat shielding that wasn't sufficient enough to cool the camera. Send your device to HTC they'll fix it for free. atleast they did for me

Well I've made way too many changes man, I really can't be bothered going back to s-on, restoring firmware, going back to stock Rom and all that stuff.. and it's pretty hard living without my phone lol, because I have to send it back to vodafone.. and they'll take ages to fix it, but probably when I start exams I'll send it
