Sense 6 impressions

[henryfool3]

So far I can't really say I see a big battery difference.

Any one getting better life?

I'm not seeing any difference battery wise.

One thing strange though I wasn't able to play YouTube videos or listen to Pandora it was automatically skipping every song tried to clear cache on both but I did a reset and it seems to work now.

Is anyone else annoyed with the new camera app in sense 6? I mean in particular with the video recording. Before sense 6 to record a video you could just hit the vid cam icon on the main shooting screen. Now you have to go to the menu select video then hit the record button. It adds extra steps. Second when using the flash, it turns on before you actually record. Then when you are done recording you have to deselect the flash or else it stays on.

So now just to take a video with the flash on I have to do the following

1. Go from camera screen to mode menu
2. Select video
3. Hit flash button (flash physically turns on before recording video)
4. Hit record video button
5. Hit record to finish but flash is still on WTF!
6. Turn flash off again

The only camera you can video record directly from now is the front facing camera during a selfie. This is how the main camera screen should have been.

If you had the purple hue in camera, has that improved?

I really like it. New colors, better Blinkfeed.
I like the new fonts but Helvetica is very small and although I'd like to use it I feel like I'm 80 years old and can't see well.
The only problem is this:

i was hoping the unlock direction could be configured to open specific apps or perform certain tasks depending on the direction of the swipe. as it turns out, you cannot configure it. using nova (and i suspect any launcher other than sense), the padlock performs the same action (just unlock the phone) regardless of the direction i slide my finger.
.

I'm using Nova along with Blinkfeed (because I prefer the ability to customize some gestures) and unfortunately I cannot use the lockscreen gestures from Sense. Every direction does the same. I don't suppose this can be fixed, but if anyone has an idea please do tell.

Moreover, is there any way to use the HTC Sense weather/clock widget with Nova?

From experience only way to get rid of purple hue is send it in and have them replace camera module. They did on mine and now it works great. Mine looked like purple ooze on night shots. Its free if its under factory 1 year warranty.

I really like the new update. Its snappier and the battery life+signal strength has improved.

I HATE the fact that all of my ringtones and notifications have been ERASED and replaced with stupid sounding DING, DONG, CHIME type sounds now..

Bug 1: Plus Seems there is a bug because I cannot send Pictures thru SMC when in WIFI, Only DATA otherwise it says General Network error.. but the moment I move to Data, it works instantly.

Bug 2: Seems that the Screen Captures don't show in with the gallery even tho the Screen captures album IS selected. If fact I cannot figure out how to view the screen captures I did before the upgrade.

This one really irked me too. If anyone wants the original audio files (ringtones/notifications) from Sense 5, you can download them here: M5 Audio Files

Just wanted to say that there is a kind of knock feature. Not the greatest but still it exists.
When you turn on the phone and the lockscreen appears you can turn off the screen by double tapping.
This happens only if you don't unlock and only to turn it off.
It's useful for example if you want to check your notifications or the time etc without having to press the button again.

Doesn't work on mine...

Pro: NFC quick toggle.

Con: The themes don't carry over into the stock messaging app. I use the blue messaging theme and now my suggestions are green.

Really? I have the International Unlocked version and it is there.
I found it out by accident.
Only if you don't unlock though.

Pro:

* HTC backup finally works correctly and uploads to Google drive.

* HTC Guide application is very intuitive and useful.

* The volume button can be used to zoom while using the camera.

* Apps can be placed on the desktop straight from the app drawer

* Finally able to redeem my 40GB Google drive storage.

Cons:

* They stole the weather live wallpaper.

* Still no dual recording with the front and rear cameras.

* New filter styles for editing photos aren't to my liking.

Hmm.. yeah, I've got the T-Mobile version and it isn't working for me. Perhaps carrier option?

I can print! Yea!!!

I'm loving 6. I like the theme colors. I like the transparency on the bottom, and the phone app is much better with the larger buttons.

Just got it this morning, so there is still more to explore. Fyi, never was a BlinkFeed guy, so any improvements made will go unnoticed.

Pros:
Snappier
Better app drawer layout
Transparent launcher bar

Cons:
Black color scheme still highlights green
Recent apps were larger in the last update and are now small again
Default clock widget is white
Grayed out text is messaging app is hard to read
Text all around is not as dense

Overall, I'm not liking the update. I still miss the green battery icon from way back when too...
