The HTC One M9 comes with two email apps - a skinned version of the stock email app and the dedicated Gmail app. The Messages app can also backup and restore messages, so you don't need a third-party app for that.

The look of the app can be tweaked with color schemes and custom backgrounds, font size and how many lines are used for preview in threaded view. There's built-in functionality to block messages from certain numbers, those go in the Block box where you can view them later if you like or set the app to discard them immediately.

Some threads can be moved to a 'secure box', which requires a password to be opened. The HTC One M9 uses the traditional threaded view for SMS and MMS messages, which share a composer. They Average performance of the speakers is absolutely identical with the One (M8) result and there is a chance you will miss a notification or two in noisy environments. The Theater equalizer is louder, though the Music one provides much better sound quality. The BoomSound equalizer is always on - you can choose between Music Mode and Theater option. The One M9 has borrowed the front-facing BoomSound speakers from the One (M8). If you dial an unknown contact, the dialer can ask you if you want to save it to the phonebook (this is disabled by default). You can configure your priority interruptions - all calls, all messages, or calls and texts from specific contacts only.Д¬ontacts can be added to the blocked list to filter out unwanted calls even outside of Interruptions. Once configured, you can have it automaticly turn on and off (called Priority mode) or you toggle it manually from the system wide sound popup.

The Do not disturb mode is now called Interruptions and is part of Android Lollipop. It is just a more user-friendly experience. For these reasons we preferred this mode over the Standard. When you try to scroll the list, the dial pad gets out of the way.

There's a Large dial pad mode, which predictably makes the buttons bigger but also displays the full call log behind the pad (instead of just the last call as with the Standard dial pad). You can even switch to a regular QWERTY keyboard though you have to do this each time you open the dialer and we still find that the dial pad is quicker, it was invented for a reason after all. There's smart dialing that looks for both names and contacts. The dialer on the HTC One M9 displays the last call with a contact photo so you can easily redial someone.

Tabs here can be reordered and hidden, too. The third and final tab displays the contact's social networking updates for easy access. The second tab, Thread lists all communication history between you and the given contact - texts, emails and calls. Private contacts is a discrete option that hides the name and photo of a contact when there's an incoming call. The first tab shows basic contact info like phone numbers, emails, work info plus individual options for ringtones, blocking the contact and adding them to Private contacts. Individual contact info is displayed in tabs too, a Sense tradition. A dropdown allows you to filter contacts by source - stored in the phone, coming from an online phonebook or a social network. The People app groups the call log, dialer, favorites, contacts, and groups in tabs, which can be reordered or removed.
