Help 4.3 Update pushing out now worldwide. Discuss/issues

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have just received the 4.3 update today (after the bug fix update), with Sense 5.5 on the UK O2 network.

Love the fact that I can finally turn Blinkfeed off and get another home screen, but hate it that you can not customise the lock screen anymore.

Also, the Do Not Disturb feature is useful, but I can't find a widget for it and Tasker can't access it so I can't automate it, e.g. when in a meeting or when the alarm clock is on. Unless I have missed something!
 
Sense 5.5 is actually the better update over 4.3, it's finally sorted the nagging battery problem I've had (few hours in now, still on 90%) but worth it alone for the camera and blinkfeed updates.. over the moon, feel I've got my phone back after the horrible (for me) 4.2.2 update.

Have you found that you can now select any 12 from 20 shortcuts in the 'two finger pull down menu' ?
Do not disturb is one of the options.

So far, I'm very pleased with the 4.3/5.5 update.
:)

Yes, that was how I found the Do Not Disturb feature. I then went to see if I could automate it in Tasker. When it wasn't supported I looked for a desktop widget for it.

Just surprised that this is included, but they didn't supply a widget for it. I wonder if this is they way it is going to be in the future, where they will drop the separate widgets in favour of the pull-down menu.

In a separate point, I have now found that you can semi-customise the lockscreen, so I was wrong when I thought that it couldn't be changed.
 
From what I can see they have added next to no benefits... But royally screwed up what was a great gallery app. The video montages of the events folders seem to have gone.. it's change for changes sake.. not impressed..

Oh, and I've got no battery percentage going on, or the ability to have lock screen widgets. What's going on?
 
i updated yesterday to 4.3. Since then in the stock messaging app the '+' & 3 dots menu option button don't work, meaning i can only text existing contacts. Anyone else got this issue ?:confused:
 
I am trying to update to 4.3 over my home wi-fi but for some reason it keeps getting to only a certain percentage of the update downloaded (last attempt it was about 62%, this time it's only got to 3%) and then seems to just stop. I'm on my laptop atm which also connects to the internet via our wi-fi and that seems to be behaving itself tonight, so i'm not sure what's going on. Please help!! :(

EDIT: I now have a new problem. After successfully downloading 4.3 for the second time, i have again got a message appear on my screen telling me that the update data that has been downloaded is corrupted, and asking me if i want to download it again. Now what?
 
Since you can't rule out an issue with wifi, why not do it over cellular?

Or have your carrier install the file at their shop...

Bizarrely it worked this morn...cos I remember changing the background colour.. how strange.. u can do a text via the ppl app, then u have the name in the text list...

The 3 dots are not working on the gallery app either, the workaround is to make the long press of the home key the menu key.. it's a deffo bug tho..

Urgent warning! .. none of the plus signs, (message and BlinkFeed ) work with default HTC apps.. but work with play store apps etc.. also the 3 dots are broken. This is a poor show!
 
I believe the bug is related to having the animations turned off in the Developer Settings, turn them back on and the 3 dot menus work again.

on a plus note, and i generally think its the only one.. the battery life seems to have improved......

The rest of the update is so minimal, as to question why there was such a hoo har about when folks were gonna get it... but having said that, ive a nexus 7, and cannot tell the diffference between 4.2 and 4.3 so should have been expecting it...
 
You on Sense 5 or 5.5?

There was quite a few changes with Sense 5.5.

4.3 is a lot smoother and includes fstrim so the phone shouldn't slow down after long periods of use.
 
I am still on Ver4.2.2 and Sense 5.0. I have two issues. The lock / unlock screen sound is almost inaudible.

The other is with the stock calendar. Any event selected as all day has the following day as the end date. It will only be noticed when one edits that event.

I would like to know from anyone of you with Ver4.3 and Sense 5.5, are these two issues still there or resolved.

Thanking you for your response.

I'm on 4.3 and Sense 5.5 but I can't help with the lock and unlock sounds. Didn't even know there was any sounds :D

I just created a task in the Stock calendar for all day, saved it and then went back to edit it, the day is still the same day.

First off don't worry as if it hasn't downloaded then you won't lose the download.

Are you downloading over Wifi?

Make sure that you have a full battery and you're not charging the phone.

Try again from scratch and don't touch the phone until the download is complete or you get the error message again.

Can you take a picture of the error message when it appears please.
 
I did use Wifi to download the update with full battery I left it for a couple of hours & tried again & by some miracle it worked without doing anything different, thanks for the advice though thankfully it just took a little patience 😊

Hi Gibbs, thank you for your response. The lock / unlock screen sound can be accessed Settings>Sound.

On the calendar, during the creation it is fine but it is in the edit mode after saving that you can see that the end date is the next day.

Attached is screen shot.

Though it is not a major issue it came to light after my wife updated her HTC One X+ to Ver 4.2. These were clearly not there when her One X+ was in 4.1. So when I checked my HTC One I too noticed it. She has since informed HTC and they are worrking on it.

Cheers

OK I turnt the lock and unlock sounds on and they're there but they're pretty useless as I had to lift the phone to my ear to hear them.

Certainly wouldn't be able to hear them if I wasn't in a room on my own where it's quiet.

The screenshot of the calendar was taken after I created the event and then edited it and saved it.

Both issues look to be fixed but the first one is still poor in my opinion.
