This will be the ONE and only review thread for the AT&T HTC One M9.
All other review threads will be merged here, so please don't start a new one. Thank you
HTC M9 disassembled
Just got mine. Any questions?
Hi all. So I just picked up my AT&T HTC One M9. If anyone has any questions about anything please let me know. Ill be happy to try to help.
It is currently stock S-On and bootloader locked and I am going to keep it that way for now but if there is anything you would like to know just ask.
Ok so a few things I have noticed after using it for about an hour.
1. It does not get hot.....it is actually much cooler than the laptop I am currently using.
2. I love the look and feel of the HTC keyboard but it doesn't change im to I'm.......I hate that!
3. There are a ton of available themes. They all say free, so I assume that in the future some will actually cost money.
4. It is definitely not as slick as the M8.
5. The camera hump on the back is perfectly placed to give a bit of leverage in holding it.
6. The placement of the power button sucks, I always hit the volume thinking it is the power button, even though the power button is textured.
7. LAG......NONE, ZERO, ZILCH. Smoothest phone I have EVER used.
8. There is a personalization option to keep the soft buttons hidden!!!
From where?
I'm confused if its available now online or if its just a pre order. And if it is available now I would rather pick it up in stores so I could have it faster.
Bought it from a guy that got it at the pre launch event in Los Angeles the other day.
What's the Antutu score? Does it get hot when you run the Antutu benchmark?
One for the long run: how does the battery life hold up, and in particular: what SOT are you getting out of it?
It did get a little warmer while running the benchmark. But no where near enough to be uncomfortable.
Not sure if the OP got the unlocked version, but does it support AT&T LTE?
No sorry mine is the AT&T version so no way to test that. I would assume so though.
ohhhh its amazing i will try it.
A reviewer complained about the device getting hot while watching videos. Can you confirm?
Also I thought the software was detecting benchmark apps and putting the chip at 100% when running them. All other times the chip is throttled. Do you think that is the case?
I can't decide on the M9 or the S6 that are branded by ATT as I'm just going to renew my contract for 2 years. I think with the M9 on ATT you will be able to root, unlock the bootloader, etc. An ATT S6 won't be able to do any of that from the past ATT Galaxys. Does that seem about right?

I can't tell if it is detecting benchmarks but the phone is lightning fast all the time. I did run the GPS yesterday for about an hour straight with the screen on and the phone definitely got hot. Not to hot to hold but enough to tell it was hot.
I will say after a couple of days use the battery seems pretty bad. I can't tell screen on time because I can't find it in the settings, but it will not come close to a full day on a single charge with heavy use. Probably close to 6-7 hours of heavy usage in my opinion.

Like I said there is no way to see screen on time, maybe there is some special app tat will do it but it has been removed from the system settings.

everybody usually uses gsam battery monitor on the htc one m8 and it gives you all the details. just screenshot the main page when you download it.
This is pretty light/average usage, also left off the charger overnight.

As the topic suggests, 2 of these bad boys just got dropped off by Fed-Ex, courtesy of NationLink Wireless (our local corporate rep). I am currently charging them, and will report back what the live model is like in terms of battery life, instead of what the current reports are from the beta model that was being displayed at the expo's.

I'm seriously getting anxious about this. I just want my phone, and I have to wait until the Sprint store opens at 8a on Friday. If I don't get off these boards, I'm going to rage out...

...I need to mellow out...it's beer time
I have to wait till I get home...I know its there but I am in Boston traffic....it is raining, hopefully the UPS guy had the sense to put it inside my door rather than leaving in on my porch
.........at 8 am today someone poisons the coffee....do not drink the coffee. More instructions will follow.

Not sure what this file is but would you mind searching for Smart_io.crd with an sd card reader before powering the phone on. Saw a few Devs asking about it in the development section so it must be important toward getting us root access lol.

I can't do that with these 2 models, we already have plans for them, however we have another dozen coming in a few days in a separate shipment, and I can definitely scan those devices.
The phone has been off the charger for 21 hours sofar, the entire time we have had the 4G radio turned on and connected. There has been about 20 minutes of 3D and non-3D videos taken to compare how they look, and we've taken about 30 3D and standard pictures.
No phone calls to the device yet, Battery is still around ~40%, 21 hours, moderate use, 4g radio turned on the entire time, looks like this phone is going to have a very nice battery life.

The phone has some interesting battery saving options in the settings menu. By default at 15% battery it's set to go into a battery saving mode. You can change what percent it does it at, or if it does it at all. I think HTC really did some tweaking to the battery system here.

Isn't the power saving feature the same thing that was released in the GB 2.3.3 version? If so, that's not new..

Agree, the Nexus S 4G is a POS, its what Im using now too and I get horrible data and its relatively slow, its barely faster than my HTC Fuze. Its battery isnt all that impressive either, it lasts a day but for a phone people say has amazing battery, I just dont see it. I really barely use it and 4G is barely faster than 3G and Im in Orlando.

I have been reading in the forms that this is an issue. I too am experiencing the heat issue, yet I don't see any fix. I read that the screen and/or the radios are the issue.
-- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
Mine gets a little hot at times too. I just pulled mine out of my pocket to show a friend and my screen was on and it was pretty warm, more than usual.
yeaa it gets really hot. i can't even play any hd games. the phone might over heat and crash
I had 14 hours of use today and over 4 hours screen on time. I think the higjest one got was 95 deg
I have the extended battery if that matters
Yeah, she gets a little warm. Anecdotal evidence says that the phones that get way hot (130-150 during games, 120 ish during regular use) have a hardware problem... I have read from a lot of people who have been that hot and say the trade-in was better.
Also, the extended seems to dissipate the heat better.
As for me, I didn't have much of an issue until after the first OTA. Now I top out around 125 when playing heavy games or surfing hard on 4G. Not happy about that, but I don't think it's hardware in my case. I need to get an extended anyway....
Its because of a CPU issue where the CPU runs at the highest clock speed instead of scaling like it should while the screen is on. I have this problem as well and my battery is absolute **** now :|

But I did have almost 5 hours screen on time :-\ didn't feel that hot. Really like having ics but that's getting pretty warm
i am using "easy battery" to help me keep my battery life and kinda keep it cooler. i recommend to return to stock os and wait until the official upgrades are given out.
When I first got this phone it actually ran hot, so hot that I can actually feel the heat on my leg when I put it in my pocket.
When I upgraded to the current leaked RUU, the heat problems went away.
I have zero heat issues on my Rezound, I still haven't gotten the new leak yet, waiting for a ROM that makes me really want to do it.

Everyone will install the ota the same way the leak was installed. The ota will include new radios and a new boot loader version. They always have. Easy.

i thought u would not be able to get your phone back to stock after flashing the leak . and the official update requires ur phone to be stock. something like that
" correct me if im wrong"

maybe the official update will fix the problem
You could run the RUU again and you would be back to bone stock, albeit a leaked "official" stock, but still stock. You would have the stock recovery and be locked again.

I don't think it's the CPU. Same cpu problems in the last couple of leaks and phone is running a little warmer on current leak. I think the radios are cranked up, pulling more power. My phone only gets hot when on 4G.

Will a full root come to the dna with S-off etc ? I am thinking. With it's HUGE screen and TINY battery that it was a bad decision.I just got it today.. Is the battery all that bad ? (partial power user) I can take it back within 14 days Let me know what you think

It doesn't work directly anymore, you have to use Jcase's exploit to make the HTC website think that the DNA is another phone. Then after you unlock the bootloader you can flash a recovery and SuperSU or Superuser.
You just can't obtain S-OFF yet.

This is pretty hard I rooted my Thunderbolt and it was a breeze I don't get how to do this LOL
The exploit is fairly complicated. Myself, I'm holding out hoping that maybe it can become slightly less complicated. Imo, the phone is awesome even on stock and until there's more development I don't see a need for my usage. The battery is pretty awesome btw. I get 4.75 screen on time. Trying to tweak it to make it to 5 hours.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
What are you guys talking about? Its just typing (and in fact, really just copy/paste) in a bunch of commands into a CMD prompt. Easy breezy, takes 10 minutes or so if you know how to follow instructions.
jcase has already said that he has no plans to create a "1-click" method...
IMO, if you are not comfortable following directions, dont know what ADB is, etc, perhaps you should not really be rooting your phone?
And the battery is just fine. I'm having no issues getting through the day with a single charge. The only way I could see the battery become a concern is if someone is streaming Netflix for 2-3 hrs a day. Then you probably wont get through a full day on 1 charge.
I think the main concern is the risk of bricking if instructions are not followed properly. That + other roots have been fairly straightforward so we're spoiled I personally haven't rooted mine yet either, though I do plan on doing so soon.
To the OP: the battery life has surpassed my expectations, and I'm easily lasting an entire day with my DNA. I use my phone all day for texts, web browsing, and phone calls, with around an hour of my commute being underground with no signal. Even with all this, I never need to charge it before bedtime. So yeah, I'd say this phone is definitely worth getting, and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the battery's performance.

Agreed on both points; I've been very happy with the battery and I, too, will eventually make time to root this baby - probably step-by-step with the Youtube video.

hey guys, so some of you look familiar from the Rezound forums, good to see ya! I finally got a DNA and gave my rezound to my older brother for xmas, and much like last year, i've noticed a couple of bugs. the good thing is, though, that i was in touch with HTC tech support last year, where i actually spoke to them over the phone a few times over some bugs we had with the rezound. after noticing a few, i decided to open my old claim and talk with the same rep who i dealt with last year, as he was very knowledgeable and a great guy overall!
so a few bugs i've noticed so far:
1.) the audio/video delay lag, where in every video player, including youtube, audio lags behind video (thanks milan, i forgot which one it was lol)
2.) the home button lag much like the s3 with s-voice enabled
3.) not much of a bug, but for some stupid reason HTC enabled "auto enhance" on the camera by default! you can't turn it off. this was something big wtih the rezound that the number one thing we urged users who asked how to get good pics was to turn auto enhance off. it really softens the image and makes it look bad in low light, IMO. also, they made auto focus on by default and you can't switch it. i reported this, and he confirmed that it's just part of the software, but they do value our feedback, and i know for a fact this guy does, as the bug with audio recording on the rezound WAS fixed when 4.0 was OTA'd to it.
so i brought both of these up with them, and they're looking into it, which is great. anyone have any bugs they notice? i keep forgetting the little ones when it's time to write a reply to HTC, so it would be good to get them in here.
HTC def. does listen to us, guys.
either way, i LOVE this phone. so snappy, and has an amazing screen and form factor to it! the camera is great, but you just have to play around with the options to get a great pic. the audio sounds great with the beats as well. i've yet to get a wireless charger, but i think i'm going to start looking around for it.
great to be a part of the new community, guys!
When I power on my screen & drag down my notification bar to select a text it sends me to the first text from that person. This does not happen every time, but often enough.

right right! i get that too. my rezound had that. i'll def let them know.
In the messages app, in the all messages tab. The time of the last message is actually the time of the last mms. This is not the case in the sms/mms tab.

i would like the notification light not to go off till i check whatever it is
and also the wifi still seems buggy where it sometimes disconnects in sleep even when its not set to do so
the audio/video sync issue

Some games and other apps that use fullscreen have a small black bar on whichever side is on the home bar that takes up space the game could/should be using.

you know, i brought this up. i said, why is it that the One X has the option to make recent apps button into menu by long press etc..what possible reason could verizon have had for getting rid of it? he said he doesn't know, but it was def the carrier's plan to do that, not HTC's. so ridiculous

I've barely used my phone today as you can tell by the screen on time and the app percentages. So... something is wrong.

That looks like you could have a rogue app or something. I've never seen mine above 25. And its at 11 right now.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
The worst part is since I'm not rooted, I would have to go through and figure it out by uninstalling them or disabling them one by one. I don't see how I have a rogue app.
I can't even figure out where to start looking. Ughhhh.
Really to be honest at close to 5 hrs screen on time I will get 12 hours total. Is your phone 100% stock or do you have any maybe non kosher pirated apps going on that might not show up in that app. Kernel is still software related and I'm not understanding why yours is so out if wack with everybody else. You have complained about this in several threads now.

dude, you've got something wacky going on. my kernel is never above like 17% and DEF doesn't keep it awake anywhere near that long, even after a 14 hour day...
Hey everyone,
The battery life on my S9+ seems extremely mediocre. After not even 2 hours of SOT I am left with less then 25% battery. Also, Google seems to be using the most battery.

Is this a recognizable and fixable problem or should I send it back?
Thanks for your help!
That could be due to not-so-optimized software.
My device is still stuck on the January update, so I'd guess that there will be an update soon.
Future updates might very well fix / improve the SoT, so it's basically down to: do you want to wait for updates or are you willing to use custom roms down the line?
If you answered "no" to both, then feel free to return it and get a different device.

You can pretty much be confident it'll be a software issue and nothing to do with hardware. There will be fixes and optimizations coming. Naturally the battery burns down a lot faster in the first few days.

I'm now on 2 percent after 2 hours and 10 minutes SOT. Surely this must be more than unoptimized software? My S8+ lasted way longer and software wise it seems the same.
For me it's decent, this is my first charge (s9+ duos)

That's not normal at all. Do you use the Google app regularly? Perhaps for voice searches or something like that?
I'ts not supposed to drain anywhere near that much.
The March security patch OTA was released for some countries today, check for an update, and after installing it, I'd recommend a factory reset and then start from scratch.

This seems way more in line with what it should be. I would be more then happy with 4-5 hours SOT.

I don’t use the Google App at all I think. I do have Google Assisant and “OK Google” on, but surely that cannot be the cause? I haven’t used it once today.
I’m letting it charge back to 100% after which I will see if there’s an update. If it’s the same thing tommorow, i should probably return it, right?

No, don't return it just yet. This isn't a hardware problem.
Check if there's an update for the Google app, if not, here is the latest stable APK for it:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-app-7-22-24-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
Once you install this. Clear cache and data for the app, reboot your phone. Charge it fully to 100% and then go about your day and see if the battery life changes.
If it doesn't, give it one last shot by doing a factory reset (and/or updating to the March patch), and then observing battery drain.
If all that fails, then yeah sure, return it.
You have some weird thing going on
As you can see the battery is great it might be that its downloading all of your email attachments you should disable downloading email attachments via wifi on your gmail account. Reset phone and dont install it see how it goes first

I installed the latest Google app using the link you provided and cleared the cache and data. There weren't any software updates available yet, however.
I do have a suspicion. Normally I always set my phone up from scratch but this time I used Samsung Smart Switch to quickly move things over from my S8+. I've got a feeling that this may be the cause but I'm not sure. I'll see how it goes first before I reset my phone.

I completely disabled Gmail using package disabler since I use Nine for my mail anyway. I'll go another day like this and if it's still this bad, I'm going to reset and setup from scratch. I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks for the help up until now!
Mine still going strong; January 1 security patch.
But this is with wifi and indoor use, LTE and day light will be another story... And almost no real standby today.

And wqhd resolution

Betterbatterystats
It can take at least several charge/discharge cycles for the metrics related to discharge levels to home in an a reasonably accurate curve, and this also depends on your particular app usage pattern. For now, as the HGTTU says: "Don't Panic!"
