I just got HTC 10(sprint), had HTC8(verizon) and MOne(sprint) before that. Here is a list of issues I would like to change. I am not sure if Android, HTC or Sprint makes these decisions, but I wish they would ask me first. 
1- There is no way to edit or add to the Quick Settings. On HTC8 I had an icon to change the sound status, which was really simple for meetings or before going to sleep. Now you have to adjust the sound toggle every time. Any way to add this to Quick Settings, this is the only think I used in QS.
2 - The Green charging/new email light is 20x brighter than the M8. I can do a hand puppet show on the ceiling of my bedroom. This is ridiculous, much too bright for nighttime. Any way to get it less bright??
3 - The Auto-brightness does not seem to be working. I have it checked, but it does not react like the M8 did at night. So now I have to manually toggle it up and down day and night. A hassle. Not sure why its not responding?
4 - What happened to Gallery. Why are they forcing up to use "Photos"? The Gallery on the M One was great. Every "improvement" is worse. I wish they would just keep it simple.
5 - Using the Mail App. On the M8 the number showed the New emails. Now it shows the total number of unread emails. Is there a way to have it show the New emails. Otherwise it will always be 99 forever and a useless function.
6 - A main peeve is Recent Apps button, the right bottom button. With two swipes I could clearly see 27 apps. Now I have to swipe through the shuffle list and its not clear, I hit the wrong place. Its a really bad choice. I wish he had the option for classic view of Recent Apps.
7 - I have do not update, but it seems Photos app updated and put another icon on the desk top. Does "Do Not Auto-update" not apply to certain apps?
8 - I hope I get used to it in time. But I am finding it hard to exactly hit the right and left bottom buttons. I think there is a setting to keep them on all the time. I have it on all the time now.
9 - What is the deal with the keyboard? Why are the numbers in calculator setting, not across the top like before. I suppose I will get used to in an 2-3 months.
10 - Photos seem to be stored in the DCIM folder on the phone, not the SD card. How do I get them to join their friends from my old camera in the SD card?
Thank you for any help here.
