I decided to start the Microsoft Surface devices reviews series with a thing I spent the most time looking for - a case. Getting a proper protection for such an expensive device like Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book is <b>fundamental</b>. Not only to avoid some serious damage (both devices are rather unrepairable), but also to keep these shiny gadgets in a good visual condition.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's not a secret that portability always comes in pair with a potential risk of having some <u>unexpected scratches,</u> caused by permanent moving the device, pulling it out of the bag, using it outdoor (train, bus, car) or simply travelling with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was looking for a perfect case for my Surface Pro 4 I had two crucial requirements in mind:<br />
<br />
1. It has to be thick, soft but also handy.<br />
2. It can't have a potentially risky elements.<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">What exactly does it mean? </span><b style="text-align: justify;">Thick</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> for outside impacts protection, </span><b style="text-align: justify;">soft</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> to avoid unexpected scratches when inserting and removing the device from the case, and </span><b style="text-align: justify;">handy</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> to be able to pack in inside the business bag.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Risky elements are all kind of <b>zippers</b> (it might damage the delicate aluminium body if the device in a case fell to the ground from the side of the zipper) or <b>buttons</b> (the same reason as above).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most popular case (but not a sleeve case) up to date is the Urban Armor Gear Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Case. How comes? I don't know. I would never buy such a hard and ugly shell for a gadget that took first place in every contest of its category - and one of the winning key was always the <u>spectacular design</u>.<br />
<br />
The rest of the competition in this category has either zippers, they are too thin, ugly or simply too ordinary and not very original in terms of the design.<br />
<br />
Loosing my hope to find this "something" I had pictured in my mind, I found a company located in San Francisco - <a href="http://www.sfbags.com/" target="_blank">WaterField Designs</a>. What attracted my attention in a first place was an unusual design of their products. Luckily it took me only few seconds to find a dedicated Surface Pro 4 cases on their site. Looking closely at all the pictures and a short video, I concluded that's the product I was looking for.<br />
<br />
Before making the final decision I spent some time chatting with <b>Heidi</b> from WaterField Designs team - an extremely kind and helpful person, who explained to me the differences between 2 models I was confused about - <a href="https://www.sfbags.com/collections/microsoft-surface-pro-4-cases/products/surface-pro-4-sleevecase" target="_blank">SleeveCase</a> and <a href="https://www.sfbags.com/collections/microsoft-surface-pro-4-cases/products/dash-laptop-tablet-sleeve" target="_blank">Dash Sleeve</a>. I ended up with the <a href="https://www.sfbags.com/collections/microsoft-surface-pro-4-cases/products/surface-pro-4-sleevecase" target="_blank">SleeveCase</a> model as the one that can ensure a better protection for the device when travelling. International shipping took a while, but it was so worth to wait!<br />
<br />
<b>Design and material</b><br />
<br />
What makes this case even greater, is that you can choose between two completely different finish materials - <b>black ballistic nylon with perforated nylon trim</b> or <b>tan waxed canvas with grizzly leather trim</b>. I went for the second one, as it perfectly fits the leather business bag I own. Also, you can choose between two different case orientation - horizontal or vertical.<br />

The tan waxed canvas material is very soft in touch and it just feels <b>great</b>. I doesn't feel like some cheap material. Actually, it feels a little bit like a luxury alcantara material. It's definitely something unique and uncommon for such type of products. The size of the case if perfectly fitted for the Surface Pro 4 naked or with Type Cover keyboard. At the top there's a lightly padded flap with a Velcro closing system. Even if the shape of the case is rather simple, <b>the overall design is fantastic!</b></div>

<b>Functionality</b><br />
<br />
Apart from the finish material and orientation, you can choose if you'd like additional strap for the case. The selection is between none, d-rings only or full suspension strap. I believe it's worth to have these suspension strap, as it might be very useful for people who won't travel with an extra bag. But again - leaving this decision to customers elevates the product flexibility and guarantees being one more extra step ahead the competition, where the colour option is the only option you have, most of the time.<br />

At the back of the case you'll find a little pocket, but I wouldn't recommend carrying there some hard stuff. Keep in mind the back of the Surface Pro 4 is very delicate and you might easily deform it with a pressure even from a hard object.<br />
<br />
Although the protection inside the SleeveCase if very good due to the very thick and soft material, remember that in case of a sudden hit from the outside, some hard object inside this back pocket might leave a deformation mark on the back of the Surface Pro 4. It's still a sleeve case after all, but using it wisely gives as good protection as any type of a hard shell, unless you're going to use it at war.<br />

<b>Final thoughts</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
With no doubts, <a href="https://www.sfbags.com/collections/microsoft-surface-pro-4-cases/products/surface-pro-4-sleevecase" target="_blank">Surface Pro 4 </a>SleeveCase made by <a href="http://www.sfbags.com/" target="_blank">WaterFiled Designs</a> is a unique product. The design and build quality are all top notch, plus you have a variety of options to go for (material and colour, orientation, straps). Apart from being very good looking case, it very well protects the device inside. The soft interior finish guarantees no scratches on the back of the device. It looks greats, it feels great, and it works great. Totally worth the price.<br />
<br />
For me, the best in its category. I can't say much about the durability yet, but I believe there won't be surprises.<br />
<br />
PS.<br />
<br />
Surface Pro 3 or Surface Book owner? <b>Worry not!</b> You can choose the size of the case dedicated either for Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book.<br />

Do you know that feeling, when you drive your beloved, recently cleaned and waxed car and suddenly, out of nowhere, the orange (or sometimes red) Engine Check light appears on the dashboard? Is it a feeling of a fear, mixed with a thrill and anxiety? Few seconds later, after the shock is gone, you ask yourself - where's the nearest car service, where someone could connect to your car via special interface and diagnose the problem and/or delete the error code? Then you realize... it's Sunday. You're alone on that desert, and nobody is going to help you for the next 24 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But thankfully, such stories are past now. Today, for about $10 you can turn your Android phone into semi-professional car diagnosis center.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What do you need?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. ELM327 or compatible OBDII adapter with Bluetooth or WiFi interface;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Android software scanner for your car.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being a Ford Focus ST owner I decided to review the only Android application designed especially for Ford vehicles - FORScan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Where to start? USB vs Bluetooth</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, you'll need a proper interface. If you want to connect your car with a notebook you can get a USB interface. Few months ago I bought the ELM327 v2 USB Euroscan 2015 interface based on the STN1110 chip. It works well, I never had any problems with it. But you can't use your Android phone with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8Ked0sqn4kWKDQvFn2pg1Ck8XvcAw5hyIbSkx3GEhoRyrVPaiAyMYkXX1avIssznbFBywbf-vXMMe0TIPRurVghvnYxc9Bm8zHnU8CYy8wua0EyU7Uvt9ayeybUxLQ8DBLS7ZFM42y2q/s1600/elm1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8Ked0sqn4kWKDQvFn2pg1Ck8XvcAw5hyIbSkx3GEhoRyrVPaiAyMYkXX1avIssznbFBywbf-vXMMe0TIPRurVghvnYxc9Bm8zHnU8CYy8wua0EyU7Uvt9ayeybUxLQ8DBLS7ZFM42y2q/s200/elm1.jpg" width="200" /></a>To be able to connect your Android device with your car, you need either a Bluetooth or a Wi-Fi interface. <u>For Android devices, Bluetooth interface is strongly recommended</u>. There are many different BT interfaces on the market and the prices can be very high of such devices. I bought the most popular and the cheapest one - ELM327 Mini for about $5.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Important!</span></b> The ELM327 Mini BT interface is available in two firmware variants - 1.5 and 2.1. The 2.1 is unstable and doesn't work with most vehicles. Also, there is no such firmware version as 2.2 which you might see some sellers will try to push you.<br />
<br />
<b>Android application</b><br />
<br />
My initial choice was <a href="http://forscan.org/home.html" target="_blank">FORScan Lite for Android</a>. There are many ODB2 scanners available in the Google Play, but FORScan Lite is designed especially for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. So it supports specific features of the manufacturer protocols, making the FORScan more powerful in work with these models than any other regular OBD2 scanner. Some most technical information can be found directly on the FORScan site:<br />
<br />
<b><u>Main features:</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Analysing an on-board network configuration of the connected vehicle</li>
<li>Read and reset diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) for all modules</li>

</ul>
<b><u>Supported vehicles:</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Ford</li>
<li>Mazda</li>
<li>Lincoln</li>
<li>Mercury</li>
</ul>
<b><u>Supported adapters:</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>ELM327</li>
<li>J2534 Pass-Thru</li>
<li>CANtieCAR (in "FORScan" mode)</li>
<li>OBDLink SX/MX (STN11xx)</li>
<li>ELS27 (STN1170)</li>
</ul>
<b><u>Supported protocols and bus:</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>FORD HS CAN</li>
<li>FORD MS CAN (only for J2534-2, CANtieCAR, OBDLink MX, ELS27 or modified ELM327)</li>
<li>FORD SCP</li>
<li>FORD 9141</li>
</ul>
<b><u>Supported modules:</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Almost all of modules available through supported protocols. Full list is <a href="http://forscan.org/modules_list.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<b><u>Supported mobile platforms:</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>iOS v6.0 and higher (WiFi adapters)</li>
<li>Android v4.0 and higher (Bluetooth and WiFi adapters)</li>
</ul>
<div>
The application itself is very easy to use. </div>
<br />
You can find the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.astech.forscanlite" target="_blank">FORScan</a> app in the Google Play Store. I recommend trying the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.astech.forscandemo" target="_blank">demo</a> version first.<br />

<li>Dashboard</li>
<li>Graph</li>

</ul>
<br />
<b>Vehicle</b><br />
<br />
Vehicle screen keeps Adapter, vehicle and modules information. The action bar has 2 buttons: Save and Service. The Save button calls Save menu that allows to save OR share the content of the section:<br />
<br />
<u>Save button</u> - save content to txt file in the FORScan document folder (Downloads/FORScan). The document folder is public so other applications can process these files. It also can moved to PC using standard synchronization procedure.<br />
<br />
<u>Send button</u> - this function can be used to send the content as a text file attachment via Android email client or other application that supports sending files. If WiFi adapter is used, Internet is usually not available. However, the message can be stored as a draft and sent later, when Internet connection is restored.<br />
<br />
The <u>Service button</u> is used to call a service menu. Service menu is used for special functions:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Clear cache button - clears all vehicle caches. When FORScan Lite is connected to the vehicle first time, it does full scan of vehicle configuration and saves it to the cache. It may take quite significant time, but subsequent connections are established much faster. If the cache is cleared, FORScan Lite has to perform the full scan again. Besides, the cache may contain some info entered by user. This is why the button is marked in orange. In the meantime, PIDs profiles are not a part of cache, so they are not removed when this function is called.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Save debug info - this button is used to save internal FORScan debug info to the documents folder. This function should be used only if requested by FORScan Support Team. This option is designed to be used only if there is no mail client and/or Internet connection on the device. Otherwise, it is recommended to use Send debug info option (described below). Important note: by default the debug info is not collected. In order to collect it, the Debug setting in the Settings section must be set.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Send debug info - same function as above, but does send the debug info using Android email client or other application that supports sending files. It is preferred way to share debug information.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Remove debug info - this button clears all collected internal FORScan debug info.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Log</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The log screen keeps log information. The action bar has 2 standard buttons: Save (save or send) and Clear log information.</div>

<i>Read DTC</i> - re-reads DTCs in ALL modules<br />
<i>Reset DTC</i> - performs DTC reset in ALL modules<br />
<i>Save</i> - calls standard FORScan Save menu<br />
<i>Clear</i> - clears the list (but doesn't remove DTCs in modules memory)<br />
<br />
Read DTC and Reset DTC are surely the most practical functions in the entire application. Without visiting service shop you can find out what's the source of the engine light lighting on the dashboard.<br />
<br />
Also remember that each error code has it's own description. In order to get more details about the error, you have to tap over the row.<br />
<br />
<b>Dashboard, Table and Graph</b><br />
<br />
Actually these are all the same functions with just different way of how things are presented on the screen. The first one - dashboard - is my favourite one. With the "+" and "-" buttons on the top right, you can adjust size of the content. There are 4 different sizes available:<br />

Every module has its own set of PIDs. So when the module is changed, FORScan Lite loads a list of selected profile owned by the module.<br />

Above screens contain information about PID. You can also change unit type on this screen. Also, the PID profile screen allows to manage list of PIDs - add, remove, edit and sort PIDs. To remove a PID, you should click at the remove button at the left of the row. To edit a PID, you should tap on the row - and the PID Detail screen (described earlier) will be displayed. The list can be sorted using a special control in the right side of every row. You should tap over the control (or make long tap over the row), then move the selected row to another position. PIDs can be added using Add button from the action bar (described in more details below).<br />
<br />
The action bar has the following buttons:<br />
<br />
<i>Add</i> - adds new PIDs from the list of all available PIDs (described below)<br />
<i>Clear All</i> - removes all selected PIDs from the list<br />
<i>Save</i> - this button allows to save the currently selected PIDs as a PIDs profile.<br />
<i>Load</i> - the button allows to load previously saved profiles.<br />
<br />
It should be counted that profiles from different modules are not compatible. So it is not possible, for example, load profile for PCM module if GEM module is selected.<br />
<br />
<b>Settings</b><br />
<br />
That's the last position in the menu. You can switch to "demo mode" there, check connection settings, Bluetooth, debugging info and more. It has one very practical feature - "Enable/Disable Bluetooth" which helps to save some device battery.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusion</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>After weeks of using this app I can highly recommend it. It's the best application of this kind on the Android market, and the only one that will work correctly with Ford vehicles. There are - of course - alternatives, but none of them are really dedicated for Ford or Mazda. For a very low price you can actually turn your Android phone into a powerful diagnosis system, capable of many cool features, which weren't available before for regular drivers.</b><br />
<br />
<b>However, the interface of the app isn't very modern. It's far away from the Material Design and apparently it's not going to change any time soon. But the beauty is not the key here, of course.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been testing Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book since some time and recently I noticed that among many software related problems there is also one, serious in my opinion, design problem that actually can't be fixed until Surface Book 2 is out.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKxCmxQbIlbrC2od71yhRjtCiziNC_jtk9Yq3vhRyFAh4eOYsDG81eeJDUDYRQzygP5mOu4iuKzDaa5IcfIPJYlEaxR3fYkI_LC-3ejhi-9qolrUkRmYEVbJi17w2Ag6OlhnvdinDM7xLG/s1600/screen+shot+2015-10-06+at+11.22.04+am.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKxCmxQbIlbrC2od71yhRjtCiziNC_jtk9Yq3vhRyFAh4eOYsDG81eeJDUDYRQzygP5mOu4iuKzDaa5IcfIPJYlEaxR3fYkI_LC-3ejhi-9qolrUkRmYEVbJi17w2Ag6OlhnvdinDM7xLG/s400/screen+shot+2015-10-06+at+11.22.04+am.png" width="400" /></a>Microsoft is very proud of the hinge mechanism introduced in the Surface Book. They call it "dynamic fulcrum hinge". Indeed, it works and looks great. On a side note, I wish it would allow to rate the screen 360 degree like the Lenovo Yoga series, instead of being "forced" to unplug the screen, rotate it manually and plug back in opposite position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, when designing that spectacular hinge, Microsoft missed the fact that the rubber strap underneath the device, that is meant to 1) protect the bottom part from scratches and 2) avoid device from slipping on the desk, <b>is actually useless</b>, because the hinge <b>extends lower than the rubber strap</b>. Just see it yourself.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The light clearance between the surface and the rubber strap means that the strap actually doesn't touch the surface. It's bottom point is higher than the bottom point of the first part of the hinge. That means the body is lifted up a little and in fact, the device abuts on the hinge, not on the rubber strap.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Result? The surface of the MS Surface Book is made of magnesium painted in silver colour. It's not the same as the anodized aluminium that Apple is using for years already, and it's <b>very, very susceptible to scratches</b>. After just few days of using the Surface Book you might discover that your $2.000,00 laptop has a lot of scratches on the bottom side of the hinge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, some might don't care, but still I consider this to be quite serious design flaw that Microsoft should be ashamed of. And considering all the software related problems on the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book, Microsoft should seriously re-think their marketing strategy.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Together with the latest and greatest HTC One A9 we saw the HTC Sense 7.0 "G" edition user interface for the first time. What exactly is the "G" version and how it differs from the "regular" version?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Probably the "G" comes from a "Google", because HTC wanted it be as close to the stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow UX as possible, allowing for certain carrier requirements and feature necessities. So, for example, in the "G" edition we have the stock notification window and Quick Settings, while the full Settings menu is HTC's Sense version due to carrier customization requirements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HTC also worked to reduce or eliminate duplicative apps in every case possible. So, for example, the HTC Music player is gone in favour of Google Music. In a couple cases HTC needed to pre-load HTC's apps to support certain features, such as HTC Gallery to support RAW images, in addition to Google Photos. So what's gone for sure?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- HTC Backup</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- HTC Music</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Print Studio</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- One Gallery</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Peel Smart Remote</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Polaris Office</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Scribble</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All the rest seems to be still there. And it doesn't look much different to the Sense 7.0 "regular" version because a lot of components (such as Calendar, Mail, Clock, Camera, Sense Home, Weather etc.) are accessible via Google Play store. What's also different is the HTC default accent colours, the "G" edition is a bit less colourful.</div>

It's been quite a long time since I updated some of custom ROMs for HTC One series devices. This weekend I was able to release 2 major update for the HTC One M8 and HTC One M9.<br />

Now, the short story. If you're wondering what's the reason behind my little activity on the custom ROMs development field, it's because last 4 months brought a lot of changes in my life. In June 2015 I became a proud father of the most beautiful girl in the world. As you can imagine, priorities changed :)</div>

Also, I got married with my fiancée few weeks ago. We planned this marriage since 2013, but as always, last few weeks of preparations were extremely busy. Plus the baby was already here :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
It's worth to mention, that during last few years Android Revolution HD was the most popular custom ROM for high-end HTC devices. With a total number of <b>6.430.689</b> downloads (<b>6,5 millions !!!</b>) Android Revolution custom ROMs series became the biggest and most desirable custom ROM for the HTC high-end devices.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Android Revolution HD will still be supported, and all projects will be still continued.</b> I just can't spend as much time on it as I used to spend in the past. Plus the the real life business I own expanded and developed significantly, so I need to focus now on my family and work. Both needs me :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>PS. I'm thinking about getting a Nexus 6P as my next daily device, as soon as it's available in my country. Are you considering Nexus 6P as your next device too?

No more leaks and no more speculations. The newest HTC Android device - HTC One A9 was officially presented today, at the HTC #BeBrilliant Launch event. Although it's hard to predict the future of the One A9 by looking only at the hardware specification, the device itself is described by many as controversial due to middle-end Snapdragon 617 SoC and iPhonish design. Is it justified? I'd say - NO.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all I'm still using "old" HTC One M8 as my daily device. I've never had One M9 and being honest I never "really badly wanted" to have one. In my opinion M9 has a great hardware but the design is a step back to the M7 days. <b>With the M8 it was different</b>. I literally felt in love in that piece of metal uni-body art ever since I touched it for the first time. This love continues, even tho my M8 looks like after one year of a high mountains climbing trip. Surprisingly, even the "C" letter detached from the back and lost somewhere. So it's just "H" & "T" now. <b>But I still love it</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the One A9 I feel like I could possibly use it as my next Android device. Even if the hardware may seems worse than One M9 is equipped with, my general opinion in that matter is simple:<b><i> if you can't see a real performance difference in a real life operations between two devices, go for the one with a better design.</i></b><br />

In my opinion Snapdragon 617 SoC is more than enough to satisfy 99% of customers. It's enough to handle newest games and it should generate much less heat than infamous Snapdragon 810. That means it will also throttle less. With AMOLED display it should find new fans among Samsung users too.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The overall hardware specification doesn't look bad on the paper and I can't wait to see how One A9 behaves in real.<br />
<br />
About the "almost iPhone design" argument - yes, it's true that it does look like an iPhone. Yes, it's true that HTC was first with such design. The question is - does it <b>really </b>matter? HTC One M9 design was unique and awful (sorry to say that). HTC One A9 design is not as unique, but it just looks <b>good</b>. It doesn't bring any innovation, but I'm sure it will find more supporters rather than the M9 design.<br />
<br />
Unlike many of my friends I'm pleased with what HTC presented today. As a HTC One M8 owner the One A9 sounds like a nice upgrade option to me, the first good looking phone after the One M8.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This method is an official one, recommended by the HTC Technical Support Team. Finally we have some alternative to the old myth related with re-calibrating the battery by removing the batterystats.bin file from /data/system location, as it has no impact on the battery life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So if you're having some problems with battery life, for example it rapidly or erratically discharges (the battery indicator says 18% left but then suddenly, 5 seconds later your device is OFF) this procedure should help, as it clears all battery stats, coordinates and normalizes charging. At least HTC Technical Support says that :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The procedure is simple:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Make sure that Fastboot option is disabled in Power settings.</li>
<li>Turn off your phone.</li>
<li>Plug phone into HTC charger and charge for two minutes or more.</li>
<li>While charging, hold down <u>volume-up</u> + <u>volume-down</u> + <u>power</u> button and continue holding. Phone will turn on and off repeatedly every 15 seconds or so while continuing to hold <u>all three</u> buttons.</li>
<li>Keep this going for 2 minutes, then release all buttons when phone is ON.</li>
<li>Now, let phone charge fully normally (with phone either on or off) and battery level reporting, charging and battery life should be normalized.</li>
</ol>
<u>So... have you tried it? Did it help? Let me know!</u><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it comes to Android kernels, the number one topic of discussion these days is battery life. But there are many myths about the relationship between kernel and battery life. At one extreme, there are those who make outrageous claims about radical changes to battery life minutes or hours after installing a kernel. At the other extreme are those who think the kernel makes absolutely no difference at all to battery life. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we get to the “truth” of the matter, I want to clarify a few things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, the kernel does not “drain” battery. Many times, a user installs a kernel and then reports back soon after that the kernel has caused massive battery drain (and probably also something to the effect that the kernel is crap and the dev should burn in hell for his efforts). To prove it, they post screenshots from battery monitoring apps showing “kernel” as the major source of drain. This is very misleading. On Android devices, the kernel provides a mechanism for keeping the phone awake, called a wakelock. Processes running on the device (e.g. apps and services) can ask the kernel for a wakelock, and the kernel will oblige. So yes, the kernel is technically keeping the phone awake, but only because an app or service has asked it to. It is these apps and services that are misbehaving and causing drain, not the kernel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKqY2kc9lbSVKuvWRQJsqGRqXzCVFKUoNa5XsUCs_Pj39haRp9FHcgWZQy2WUu9uAdF9CwAPejmdElPXEPagmAI-o8w_-_ytHrNyn4PuCALTI8aN6z8_HTk5R1N0IZyu4S-rKBv_Tyu0bR/s1600/battery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKqY2kc9lbSVKuvWRQJsqGRqXzCVFKUoNa5XsUCs_Pj39haRp9FHcgWZQy2WUu9uAdF9CwAPejmdElPXEPagmAI-o8w_-_ytHrNyn4PuCALTI8aN6z8_HTk5R1N0IZyu4S-rKBv_Tyu0bR/s320/battery.jpg" width="320" /></a>But that is not to say the kernel does not cause any battery drain. It still uses memory and does work, but the amount it uses is exceedingly small compared to the Android system, apps and services. There are also special hardware cases, such as the sweep2wake feature on the Nexus 5, which requires that the LCD panel remain powered on in order to work. This drains more battery than if the device were suspended normally, but still does not cause “massive” drain. On the Nexus 5, sweep2wake adds roughly 2% per hour drain while the screen is off. Not insignificant, but far less than the phone normally uses while the screen is on. Because of this, a strong myth has developed, claiming that sweep2wake and doubletap2wake cause battery drain. Except for the Nexus 5, it is just that, a myth. On the vast majority of devices, the battery drain from sweep2wake is negligible, usually something zero and 0.5% per hour, which would “cost” no more than 5% battery usage over the course of a workday. A perfectly acceptable trade-off for the convenience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second thing I want to clarify pertains to measurement. How do we measure battery life? I like to look at percent usage per hour. Many battery monitoring apps can give you this statistic, but you have to pay attention and set custom time points if you want to distinguish the stats further and really understand battery usage. If you do want to measure and compare, make sure you do so under similar conditions. And you must do so over a reasonable time period, which means days rather than hours. If you have some routines where you use the same apps every day, this would be a good way to test and compare. The battery monitor in <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager" target="_blank">EX Kernel Manager</a> automatically provides the two statistics I will now talk about: idle drain and active drain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Idle drain is battery drain while the screen is off. During screen off, the phone spends most of its time in “deep sleep”. Sometimes, it wakes up to do some background work, like syncing email or checking for updates. These would be examples of the system, apps or services “asking” the kernel to stay awake while they perform their tasks. If all is working correctly, when they finish, the device goes back to sleep. Idle drain should be measured over several hours to get an accurate picture. A good time to measure it is overnight while you aren’t using your device (if you are not a dev and actually get to sleep). On most devices, idle drain ranges from about 0.2% per hour to 0.8% per hour on a stock setup with default options (i.e., with no battery saving measures in place) on a normal WiFi connection. On some devices, kernel optimizations can shave a bit off this number. But only a tiny bit, generally in the range of 0.1% to 0.3% improvement over stock. This is not going to make a huge difference to battery life. As already mentioned, sometimes hardware features like sweep2wake can eat up about the same amount. So as we can see, a kernel offers relatively little improvement here, but then again, every bit counts. Another factor that influences idle drain is your network connection, particularly cellular connection. A poor signal will often result in a bit of extra drain. But this should not cause excessive drain during idle, and will mostly make a difference while you are using the data connection. I should add that many of the battery saving measures people take also make little difference here. As long as your idle drain is below 1% per hour, don’t even worry about it. If it’s more than 1% per hour, look at your apps and services. Occasionally, there will be a big batch of updates that cause a bit of extra drain. It happens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Active drain is the amount of battery used while the screen is on. That is, while you are using your device. Active drain is obviously much greater than idle drain. The phone is on, the screen is on, and it is doing work using the CPU, GPU, memory, modem, wifi, disk, etc. Active drain varies quite a bit from device to device. A lot of times we hear about “screen-on time”. Active drain, measured in % per hour can be translated easily into screen-on time. Active drain of 12.5% per hour is extremely good and will equate to about 8 hours of screen time. Drain of 25% per hour will get you about 4 hours of screen time. See how that works?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Screen-on time (hours) = 100 / Active drain (% per hour)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This does not take into account the small amount of battery use while the screen is off. Assuming idle drain is about 0.6% per hour, you would lose about 6% in ten hours, or around 14% in a 24 hour period. You can subtract that from 100 in the equation above.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we’re getting into the truth of the matter. What influences active drain? Many<br />
things. Network (especially cellular) connection makes a difference. Poor signal means it has to work harder to transmit and receive data. The type of apps you are using makes a difference. Obviously playing a graphics-intensive game will use far more battery than reading some email. Using the camera, especially flash, will cause more drain than texting. The point is, what you do with your device has, by far, the biggest influence on battery life. Something like changing your web browser could have a significant impact on battery life, perhaps a greater impact than any kernel or battery saving tweaks floating around on the Internet. Bottom line: <b>Active drain will vary from user to user, even with the same device!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is, however, one part of the kernel that has a significant influence on active drain, and therefore can have a big impact on screen-on time. This is the CPU governor. This is why kernel developers spend a lot of time tweaking governors. It’s about frequency usage, which you can measure with an app like <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.cputime" target="_blank">CPU Times</a>. The CPU governor controls frequency scaling according to system load. While not busy, the CPU will stay at its lowest frequency, which uses the least energy. When there is work to do, the CPU governor ramps up the frequency so the work can be completed faster and the user can enjoy a smooth experience. A good governor is responsive, quickly responding to changes in system load, to prevent lag, but also quickly returning to the lowest frequency to save energy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbll_IRz4QEN6rseRYhU4FwYrGT_P3o1fSFQ5vCPftoilwFwJYbEJfRuzrioI5FZrDkVRZNfeWiAG6uNq2_u372IUJvQPQiCzVBcqlbd_Wn9Eo5ajYlK7WaWMWowtymcTiHm_7M2mDB6Sg/s1600/Improve-Android-Battery-Life.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="90" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbll_IRz4QEN6rseRYhU4FwYrGT_P3o1fSFQ5vCPftoilwFwJYbEJfRuzrioI5FZrDkVRZNfeWiAG6uNq2_u372IUJvQPQiCzVBcqlbd_Wn9Eo5ajYlK7WaWMWowtymcTiHm_7M2mDB6Sg/s200/Improve-Android-Battery-Life.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
There is an idea called “race to idle” which suggests the governor should immediately ramp up to the highest frequency so tasks can be completed as quickly as possible, and consequently, the CPU can more quickly return to a lower power state. This logic is generally sound, but with modern processors, there may be a negligible time difference for completing a task using the highest frequency available compared to a frequency somewhere in the middle. In other words, it may be a waste of energy to ramp up to the highest frequency when a somewhat lower frequency may complete the task in essentially the same amount of time, and return to an idle state. The highest frequency will use more energy than the moderate frequency, and there may be very real battery savings when this is repeated thousands or millions of times per day. The trick is to find frequencies that are “fast enough” to create a feeling of snappiness for the user, without constantly ramping up to the highest frequency. I could write a whole other essay on governors, so for now I will leave it at that. It will suffice to say that different governors will behave differently, and have different battery use characteristics. Therefore, the kernel really does have an impact on battery life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are other aspects of the kernel that impact battery life too. Chief among these is task scheduling, particularly the aspect where tasks are assigned to one CPU core or another. This means a CPU may be “woken up” to perform a task, or tasks may be packed onto the same core. Another is hotplugging. There is an energy cost to put CPU cores on or offline. On many devices, you will hear about the evils of mpdecision, a closed-source binary from Qualcomm that controls hotplugging and often includes a “touchboost” feature that overrides the CPU governor. Many custom kernels disable mpdecision and implement a custom hotplugging driver. My own testing has found that mpdecision and its excessive touchboosting generally do not have a major impact on battery life, and I have left it enabled in most of my kernels. In some recent devices, such as the Nexus 6 and the HTC One m9, there is no hotplugging during normal use. All CPU cores are online. It can’t be said that task scheduling, hotplugging and touchboost have no impact on battery life. They clearly do. It’s just not going to make a huge difference. If we think of the impact of these optimizations in terms of active drain (% per hour), the change will be relatively small, probably less than one percent per hour, which would be measured in minutes of screen-on time over the course of a day. I think the impact of these optimizations is more apparent on older devices that are less power efficient and have smaller batteries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will mention quickly one more topic that always comes up in discussions of battery life: undervolting. Again, undervolting probably made a bigger difference on older devices. Devices released in the past year or two have become considerably more power efficient, some even have automatic fine tuning and scaling of voltages. I remember working on msm8960 devices that used the same voltage for every CPU frequency. In a case like that, undervolting could make quite a difference. Recent devices run with much lower voltages, and chips are binned with tighter tolerances, leaving less headroom for undervolting and reducing the battery impact of undervolting. On some devices I offered automatic undervolting, but only for the lowest frequency, which is the most-used frequency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Much more could be said on this topic, but the main point I wanted to make is that the kernel does, indeed, make a difference in battery life, but the difference is often not as dramatic as some like to think. From the kernel’s perspective, the CPU governor will have the biggest impact on battery life. Many of the things that people obsess about do not make a big difference in battery life. Finally, if you want to judge battery life, take a scientific approach. Try to use the same conditions when making comparisons, measure carefully, and give it some time.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
HTC has just started rolling out the new HTC Internet app update. Newest version is tagged as 7.1.2514183160 and it brings some Material Design touches. This HTC Internet browser is a part of the HTC Sense 7.0 interface. Let's take a look at some of the HTC Internet app features, but keep in mind that most of them were already available in the older version of the browser. The new HTC Internet is mostly about new design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>View mode</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Within few clicks you can choose if you want to browse the Internet with the status bar on the top of the browser, or in the "fullscreen" mode with the status bar hidden. The status bar won't show up until you swipe down from the top of the screen. However, it will not appear and stay like in the regular mode, but it will cover up the URL bar (immersive mode).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Quick Controls</b><br />
<br />
With Quick Controls the URL and 3 dots bar are gone. Anything you want to do (go back or forward, enter Settings, bookmark page etc.) you need to slide with your thumb from the left or right edge of the screen to open quick controls. Pretty hard to learn at start because it's very easy to slide over wrong option, but I'm sure it's possible to master it after short time of use.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtK_Ed6zJvvJ6WDIps2viUZ0o4GaXp5BtAlmlj7xOgQsFCyr6ySZVGEnd5_F7uyw-kuFLTGRjEg1Iu9mDF9JKEcjlh9uk0KlfQgAchgXwcG1WApsKMSFIrC572EUzB1A9ZoCixNT0jBGjc/s1600/Quick+Controls.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtK_Ed6zJvvJ6WDIps2viUZ0o4GaXp5BtAlmlj7xOgQsFCyr6ySZVGEnd5_F7uyw-kuFLTGRjEg1Iu9mDF9JKEcjlh9uk0KlfQgAchgXwcG1WApsKMSFIrC572EUzB1A9ZoCixNT0jBGjc/s1600/Quick+Controls.png" height="372" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Bookmarks</b><br />
<br />
Well known place, where you can manage bookmarked pages. You can choose the view mode between "Thumbnails" (first screen) and "List" (third screen). By editing bookmarks you can also change the order on the list, change the bookmark's labels and addresses or add particular bookmark to the created custom folder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Tabs and Incognito Mode</b><br />
<br />
HTC Internet app allows you to work with multiple tabs - either regular ones or "Incognito Tab" The incognito mode drastically increases your privacy level because the site you view in that mode won't appear in the browser or search history, and it won't leave other traces (like cookies) on your device. You can have maximum up to 16 tabs open at the same time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Menu</b><br />
<br />
The 3 dots menu offers some typical features like "Go back" and "Go forward" arrows or "Add to" button, which you can use to create new bookmark, add certain site to the home screen or Reading List. With the "Share" option you can share current site via different social channels, Dropbox, bluetooth, mail and more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With the "Saved" option you can view a list of sites you decided to read later (Reading List) or videos you decided to watch later (Watch List). To add a site to the Reading List click on the 3 dots menu ---> + (plus) icon ---> Reading list.<br />
<br />
"History" and "Find on page" options don't need to be explained.<br />
<br />

<br />
The "Downloads" takes you to the HTC Downloads app, where you can see all downloaded files, not only via the HTC Internet app. You can also choose to view certain pages in the "Desktop View" mode. The last position on the 3 dots menu is Settings.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Conclusion</b><br />
<br />
The new, re-designed HTC Internet app matches the new HTC Sense 7.0 UI style as well as it looks a bit more "materialized" now. Can it compete with the Google Chrome browser? No, but I don't think it is suppose to. It is just a solid, stock browser with a common features browsers on the market have. It looks good and works as it should.<br />
<br />
The HTC Internet app is available in the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.sense.browser" target="_blank">Google Play</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most anticipated phone after the HTC One M9 is finally here! Let's take a closer look at what HTC offers in the M9's "big brother":</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Luxurious Design</b> – The HTC One M9+ leverages HTC’s iconic, all-metal design and combines it with significant enhancements including a 5.2” 2K display with Fingerprint authentication, HTC BoomSound with Dolby Audio surround sound, new-and-improved Duo Camera, and support for up to 2TB of microSD storage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sense 7: An Extension of You</b> – Your smartphone should make a statement about who you are, and HTC Sense 7 puts you in control of everything. HTC Themes puts you at the center of your smartphone experience; Sense Home reinvents the home screen to deliver the most useful apps to your homepage based on your location; and a more intelligent HTC BlinkFeed makes it easier to uncover the hidden gems that surround you by using location data to recommend points of interest, news and information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Immersive Viewing Experience</b> – The HTC One M9+ comes with a new 2K display wrapped in a 5.2” WQHD (1440 x 2560) screen. Even with a larger display, the size of the phone rests comfortably in the palm of your hands. With the new MediaTek Helio X10 processor, you will experience smooth movie playback and sharp photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Incredible Imaging</b> – The HTC One M9+ comes with a 20-megapixel rear Duo Camera wrapped in a sapphire glass lens cover that protects it from scratches.

It seems that Android 5.1 is finally out!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Continuing observations regarding the new HTC Sense 7.0 features it's time to take a look at another very interesting aspect of the new HTC user interface - the Priority Ringtones. Priority Ringtones probably replaced the "DND" (Do Not Disturb) function as I can't find it any more in the Quick Settings menu. So how does it work?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To configure the Priority Ringtones you need use volume buttons. The volume slider UI is similar to the one known from the HTC Sense 6.0, however at the bottom of the box you can find <b>3 new buttons</b> - "NONE", "PRIORITY" and "ALL". Volume settings menu after clicking the settings icon on the right part of the box looks exactly the same as in previous Sense version.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7zxN6HoHxvMWpnR-mKU44qjeXOXqpyxAhyphenhyphenBRus6rETpU2yHmGyrDMy2H6F-miORpkDuP3XezYvDhBJi9obKjDpyhE6S9QZDif0a_pqenk2v9jJOmnffDVUsiMk2e-UgBexTJtMPIylv7/s1600/2015-03-09+11.29.38.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7zxN6HoHxvMWpnR-mKU44qjeXOXqpyxAhyphenhyphenBRus6rETpU2yHmGyrDMy2H6F-miORpkDuP3XezYvDhBJi9obKjDpyhE6S9QZDif0a_pqenk2v9jJOmnffDVUsiMk2e-UgBexTJtMPIylv7/s1600/2015-03-09+11.29.38.png" height="568" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b>None</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using the first option - "NONE" simply means you will receive absolutely no sound notifications. Not even the alarms. In that mode your device is not allowed to give any sound. You can set this mode to be active for a particular time (15min, 30 min, 45 min, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 8h) or <b>indefinitely</b>, meaning it will be active as long as you disable it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b>Priority</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Priority mode you can basically choose what type of events, reminders, calls or messages (and from who) are allowed to interrupt you. You can choose to receive calls or messages from everyone, contacts only or favourite contacts only. You can also configure the days the priority mode is enabled by default (from Monday till Sunday) and hours - start hour and end hour.</div>

<br />
<b>All</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The "ALL" mode simply means you will receive every kind of notification. In this mode everything gives a sound - alarm, phone call, message, notification, reminder etc. This mode is enabled by default.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you look at the HTC Sense 7.0 UI you might think it's not very different from the HTC Sense 6.0. In fact - apart from a few very obvious features like <a href="http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2015/03/htc-sense-70-sense-home-with-smart.html" target="_blank">Sense Home with Smart Folders</a> - most changes are either under the hood or are a part of extended functionality of a particular system component. One of such new extended functionality is HTC Photo Editor, which doesn't come as a separate, standalone app, but as a part of the HTC Gallery app (com.htc.album). And it has some really nice features!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
HTC Photo Editor replaced bundled camera effects and you can enter it either from the app drawer (Photo Editor) or from inside the camera app or gallery app by clicking the "EDITOR" button.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
HTC "Sense Home" system is one of the greatest HTC Sense 7.0 feature I found so far. It's basically a widget where you can place apps and games icons from your app drawer or even create a new typical folder. "Sense Home" widget is connected with locations service and it automatically detects the location of your device, changing in a real time the content of the widget to "Home", "Work" or "Out". Want to know more? Keep reading!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To activate "Sense Home" you need to either long press on the screen of the device and choose "<i>Add apps and widgets</i>" or navigate to Settings / Personalize / Add apps and widgets. Once done you will see the first widget on the list called "Sense Home". And this is what we are looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKpibmT0AsRvUhp1Jpz5xuqAbd1HBOBTVW2MhgKfVMU6oSmDlvlsecaMWP7X04cO3DUdLjXECb7UyOOovfC6EYZmlefMhEucAksGJGmZcNk2MG8YnWEG4hi9hPi7dIb3um0rxT6YfRdVzA/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKpibmT0AsRvUhp1Jpz5xuqAbd1HBOBTVW2MhgKfVMU6oSmDlvlsecaMWP7X04cO3DUdLjXECb7UyOOovfC6EYZmlefMhEucAksGJGmZcNk2MG8YnWEG4hi9hPi7dIb3um0rxT6YfRdVzA/s1600/1.png" height="568" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now just drag & drop it like with any other Android widget on the empty space of the screen. The minimum size of the widget is 4x2 but it can be resized to 4x3 or even 4x4. So basically you can fill your entire screen with the Sense Home widget if it's how you like to organize your apps and games on the screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sense Home</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The "Sense Home" widget has 3 main categories - "Out", "Home" and "Work". You can choose between them by pressing the corresponding icon on the top left side of the widget. In each location - Home, Work or Out you can place up to 16 icons or 16 folders (depending if you choose a 4x2, 4x3 or 4x4 widget size). Each folder can store up to 16 icons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precise location</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course it wouldn't be very handy if you have to choose manually between these 3 work-spaces. To help you with that HTC paired the "Sense Home" widget with a location service. Once you set up the Home and Work locations, the content of the "Sense Home" widget will change automatically.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Smart Folders</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the "Sense Home" widget you can place 2 "Smart Folders" - Downloads and Suggestions. <b>Downloads </b>folder will contain all apps and games you downloaded from the Google Play and <b>Suggestions</b> folder will store suggestions for nearby restaurants, apps, websites, games, news and other kind of personalized stuff, based on your usage data. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you don't want to use Smart Folders you can easily disable them by pressing 3 dots menu in the top right corner of the "Sense Home" widget.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Additionally, you can also disable sharing precise location or personal usage data. That depends on how much you care about your privacy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pin & Unpin</b><br />
<br />
Additionally there is a Pin and Unpin option and you can use it on ever icon inside the widget or a created folder. The process is very simple, just long press on the element and wait until it's pinned or unpinned.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
Personally, I find this new "Sense Home" very interesting and unique. I am sure that HTC will extend its features in time, adding more categories or even lettings users create their own ones.<br />

You've probably heard already about the new cool HTC Sense 7.0 feature called <a href="http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2015/03/htc-sense-70-themes.html">Themes Generator</a>. In fact that's not the only surprise in the newest HTC custom user interface. In the sixth version of the Sense UI HTC opted for extensive configuration options of the Android Navigation Bar. Now in addition to the existing three main on-screen buttons you can choose a 4th button with a specific function.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9PClvLoSfKlMoOuFNet7G78gG7iXaYjQNOvHEkEFst9_BKbNchk9nPn_nFshtsRJM5-SkDmjRuPzmNQ5aywOQCBYMyo1oMi5ywgEC0igr2KeDIVsMC_hHLnhn25W_yKygInIbfWxGF0sb/s1600/Screenshot_2015-03-08-09-53-12.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9PClvLoSfKlMoOuFNet7G78gG7iXaYjQNOvHEkEFst9_BKbNchk9nPn_nFshtsRJM5-SkDmjRuPzmNQ5aywOQCBYMyo1oMi5ywgEC0igr2KeDIVsMC_hHLnhn25W_yKygInIbfWxGF0sb/s1600/Screenshot_2015-03-08-09-53-12.png" height="400" width="225" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To enter these settings you need to go to Settings ---> Personalize ---> Change navigation button. As you can see, HTC gave us a couple of options there:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Back</li>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Recent apps</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
These are the default on-screen buttons and you <b>can't disable any of it</b>. Plus we got several more, but you can enable only one at a time:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Turn off screen</li>
<li>Auto rotate</li>
<li>Notifications</li>
<li>Quick settings</li>
<li>Hide navigation bar</li>
</ul>
<div>
According to the screenshot you can not only add a 4th button but also re-arrange the position of all buttons. That means you can have your extra button either on the right or left side of the navigation bar or between other buttons.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The "<b>Turn off screen</b>" button can be really handy in case you want to switch off your screen really fast, without moving the finger outside the screen area. In combination with HTC Motion Launch Gestures (double tap to wake-up in this case) you don't need to use power button any more!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
The "<b>Auto rotate</b>" feature doesn't seems like something I would access few times a day. Personally I would prefer to have a "Rotate" function there to force the screen orientation I want to use in a particular moment, no matter how I keep the device (horizontally or vertically).</div>

The "<b>Notifications</b>" button is a great alternate for the swipe down the status bar gesture when you want to access notifications.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
The "<b>Quick Settings</b>" button, just like "Notifications" button allows you to quick access the pull down menu without having to swipe down from the top of the screen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last but not least, the "<b>Hide navigation bar</b>" button is one of my favourite. It allows you to completely hide the navigation bar and visually enlarge the home screen. To bring it back you just need to swipe up from the bottom part of the screen. Cool, isn't it?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
One of the new HTC Sense features is the HTC Themes Generator. And it's not only about the colour schemes of the UI elements. This time HTC went further and decided to create a various of different icons for each theme. It seems that HTC really listens to its fans, because the possibility to customize the look of the user interface is one of the biggest requests since years. HTC Sense 7.0 is definitely an evolution in a good direction!</div>

HTC aims to improve lives by empowering consumers through smart technology to build deeper, more meaningful connections with the things that matter most in their lives. HTC is also expanding its vision beyond the traditional smartphone and tablet space, to bring the award-winning design and category-shifting innovation to new markets.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Today in Barcelona, HTC showed us exactly what that means by unveiling three innovative products that do just that: the new HTC One, the HTC One M9; the first wearable, HTC Grip, powered by Under Armour; and the first mass-market virtual reality headset to come to consumers in 2016, HTC Vive, in partnership with Valve.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">HTC One M9 is finally released! A great
looking newest HTC high-end smartphone. Even if it's just an evolution in terms of the design, keep in mind that the HTC One M8 was multiple times rewarded for its design. So instead of making a complete change in this matter, HTC decided, once more, to keep the winning design and only make a few little changes. I believe this is a good move and the HTC One M9 will lead the leadership among other 2015 smartphones. Also, keep in mind that the whole hardware is way better - new SoC, improved camera, increased RAM memory and more! Details below!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">With HTC Sense 7.0 right around the corner I thought of making some little "wish-list" of a features I would love to see in the refreshed HTC UI. If you don't know yet - HTC Sense is so far the most advanced and by many known as the best custom Android User Interface. Apple has its iOS, Samsung has its plastic and HTC has its Sense UI.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">None of the features are revolutionary, some of them are actually quite common or already available via 3rd party mods (like <a href="http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/sense-5-toolbox.html" target="_blank">Sense Toolbox</a>). The thing is, it would be great to have them (at least few of them) available out of the box. </span><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">Lets go through the list!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">New section in <i>/ Settings / Personalize /</i> called "<b>Status bar</b>" with the following features:</span></span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">possibility to remove the clock</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">possibility to add XX % battery indicator, moved from <i>/ Settings / Power / Show battery level</i></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">possibility to have only XX % battery indicator without the battery icon</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">possibility to have both XX % indicator and a battery icon (current solution). </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">All these features related to the battery level can be sorted this way: <i>/ Settings / Personalize / Status bar / Show battery level</i>: <span style="color: #0b5394;">show battery icon</span> | <span style="color: #0b5394;">show battery level</span> | <span style="color: #0b5394;">show both battery icon and level</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">possibility to change between 4G and LTE icons</span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;"><b>Increase the number of icons inside a folder</b> - for some reason the maximum number of icons inside a folder is 20. With so many games and applications in the Google Play it's really strange limitation. I'm not a gamer, but I have more then 20 games. Shell I have folders like "Games 1", "Games 2", "Games 3" etc?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><b style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">Possibility to create folders in the app drawer when using the Alphabetical mode</b><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">. So far we can add folders only in the "Custom" view mode. I would like to organize icons inside the app drawer into folders and keep the aliphatic order of the icons outside folders.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;"><b>Possibility to customize the battery saver feature</b> - HTC in the Sense 4+ UI introduced a very useful toggle to turn on/off battery saver. However, it's barely possible to customize it, even in the HTC Sense 6.0. Possibility to change the moment when the power saver mode is turned on, the CPU min/max frequencies, screen dim level etc. would be really great.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;"><b>Move the Flashlight and the Calculator apps from the /data/preload back to the /system/app location.</b> I know - this has barely anything to do with the user interface, however I can't find a proper explanation why HTC decided to let these 2 stock apps be on the /data partition instead a /system partition. It's not a big deal as long as the bootloader is not unlocked. After unlocking the bootloader the content of /data partition is being wiped, so both - pretty useful - apps are gone.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;"><b>Independent Lock Screen short-cuts.</b> I really miss the possibility to use different short-cuts on the Lock Screen and different on the main screen.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;"><b>Easy copy phone number from the contact details page</b>. Let me explain it this way - go to the People app, enter any contact and long press on the phone number. There is no "Copy" on the list. Instead, you need to select "Edit" first and then select the entire number and copy it. Why not making it easier with just "Copy" command on the long press menu?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;"><b>Restore the sliding ("scrolling") wallpaper.</b> Or at least give provide an option in the <i>/ Setting / Personalize / Home screen</i> to choose between "static" or "scrolling" wallpaper. I really liked that Android feature!</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;"><b>Simple 1x1 alarm clock widget</b> - it would be great to have one, small 1x1 widget that takes you directly to alarm clock settings.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24.0000019073486px;">So, what do you thing about these ideas? Do you think that some of them might be already in the HTC Sense 7.0? Or maybe you have something else in mind? Please share your opinion!</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;">The
day we've been all waiting for since Android Lollipop landed on the HTC
flag-ship devices! Xposed (so far Alpha version) for Android 5.0 is finally here!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;">Installation procedure is a bit more complicated than it used to be with pre-Lollipop Xposed installer. This time you need to install regular .apk file to manage installed modules and also flash a .zip package with a framework inside custom recovery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;">Ok, so wait no more! Go to the original thread - <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118" target="_blank">[OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop</a> and download proper installation files. Keep in mind it's still in Alpha stage, so rovo89 warned that there is a risk of boot loop, because Xposed hasn't been yet tested on many devices.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The HTC One M9<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-clock-is-ticking.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Roboto Light";">launch day</span></a></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">is just around the corner. We've heard a lot of rumours already and saw a different renders presenting the concepts of the incoming HTC flag-ship device. The question is - what do we really know so far?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The answer is </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">vague</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">. We know all, and we know nothing. Current HTC One M9 </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">specification </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">looks reliable, but after all we might be surprised by the HTC. So let's take a look at the most "possible" details.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The HTC One M9 model ID (MID) will start with </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">0PJA. Per example, it's highly possible that the European WWE (401) variant will have </span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">0PJA</span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">10000 MID number.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><b style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Screen</b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><b> -</b> some said it's going to be 5,5", some 5,2" but in the end it seems that HTC ended up with the same screen size as in the HTC One M8 - 5.0" with Full HD</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> resolution and </span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">Super LCD3 technology</span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light';"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">, which seems to be a way better solution rather than using QHD display, mostly for performance reasons. Technically you have no chance to see the difference between the FHD and QHD </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">displays</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> in a real life. Under the </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">microscope</span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> - sure. But in fact the QHD resolution looks better only on paper as a raw numbers. Marketing effect? Yes, sadly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Some sources said that the M9 screen is going to be covered with the new </span><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4</b> technology. This is a great news, because the 4th generation of the Gorilla Glass brought a couple of improvements:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">• Enhanced retained strength after use</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">• High resistance to scratch and sharp contact damage</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">• Improved drop performance</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">• Superior surface quality</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><b>SoC -</b> already well known </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px;">Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994) with a CPU running at 4 x 2.0 GHz + 4 x 1.5 GHz. </span><span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 810 processor is the "ultimate connected computing processor, with 64-bit computing on 8 CPU cores and leading modem capabilities, is designed to enable the most advanced connected mobile user experiences, including streaming 4K Ultra HD video, sharing top-quality digital photos, on-line 3D gaming, and virtually seamless communications, along with outstanding battery life for premium smartphones and tablets". And it's now only what Qualcomm says about the new S810. Some first benchmarks already proved how powerful this SoC is. Also, keep in mind it's equipped with new </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">Adreno 430 GPU and improved Hexagon DSP multithreaded CPU architecture - V56 DSP (up to 800MHz) vs Hexagon V50 on the HTC One M8.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Roboto Light'; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;"><b>ROM Memory - </b>two variants: 32GB and 64GB. And of course a possibility to insert a microSD card. Let's hope HTC decided to use </span><span style="font-family: Roboto Light;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">eMMC 5.0 SD 3.0 (UHS-I) this time. In the <a href="http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2014/07/htc-one-m8-my-point-of-review.html" target="_blank">HTC One M8 - My point of (re)view</a> I wrote that Snapdragon 801 added support for eMMC 5.0 (embedded Multi-Media Controller) storage technology but HTC decided to use older, eMMC 4.51 technology in the HTC One M8.</span></span></div>
