Hi all!
First off: i'm new here. If i break any rules please be kind.
Okay, i was hoping you guys could help me. Last tuesday or so i upgraded my two months-old HTC One M8 to Android 4.4.3, and from that moment on, my phone's just been horrible. Some of the problems i've been experiencing:
- Phone doesn't vibrate any more. I didn't drop it or do anything out of the ordinary and suddenly (not immediately after the update) it stopped vibrating. It doesn't buzz when receiving calls or messages, neither when i hold the volume down button to put it on vibrate mode, neither when i tried a vibrator app to check if that would work.
- My phone randomly switches into car mode, sometimes even when i'm not actually touching it.
- The screen suddenly starts and stops auto rotating without the function being activated via the menu. Even the homepage rotates and it even goes upside down - something i wasn't able to do intentionally before.
- I'm suspecting my network strength has also gone down. It seems to use 3G/H most of the time while previously i had 4G network coverage everywhere in my city. Not sure of this, though.
My phone hasn't been rooted and if it's possible i'd like to keep it that way. However, my perfectly good and brand new phone has now become a nuisance. Any of you have tips or advice on things to try to fix my phone? I realise the vibrate thing might be an unrelated hardware problem but that would be a case of extreme coincidence. I really hope you guys can help me as i'm pretty desperate. I looked for solutions but while some people seem to have some of the same problems, no-one i can find has them all together and no-one knows a good fix.
Looking forward to your responses!
James
