Sprint M8 software update 4.25.651.14

[kct1975]

Right now, I fairly ticked off at Sprint. Installing the update, completely borked my phone, and caused it to be 'soft bricked'

The software update downloaded and installed, but during the reboot, the phone COMPLETELY froze on the HTC One splash screen.

Luckily, a coworker of mine was able to finally get into Recovery, and force a complete Factory Reset.

I have now been spending a lot of time over the past two weeks trying to reinstall everything that was lost.

My coworker friend and I have been wondering what caused the phone to become 'Soft Bricked', and we both think that the cause was the crappie Sprint Connections Optimizer having been frozen. It appears that the software update checked for the presence of the Sprint Connections Optimizer, and when it didn't find it, the software update locked up the phone.

So the point of this post, other than to rant, is that everyone should be very careful to make sure that all of the stock apps that came with your phone are updated and running before you take the OTA update.

You don't seem to be able to specify certain people that are Priority. You have to pick Favorites. I want to be able pick specific people like on HTC DnD. Just because they're in my favorites group does not mean I want their calls to come through while in priority mode. I hope they update it.

I noticed that priority mode on the Nexus devices does allow you to pick specific people.

You can create a new group and name it what you like. You can even create a new group with just 1 person in it and name that group that individuals name

I just got this update on mine tonight. Since the previous update, I've been having a terrible time with the Messaging app. It lags terribly while typing. You type a little, and it does nothing, then bursts the characters onto the screen. A bit of a pain, but usable. Never did that before that update. Now, with this latest update, it still lags and as a new bonus, it crashes the app. C'mon guys, don't you test this stuff?

The HTC messaging app was updated today to address this exact problem
