I'd like to get the m8 since it improves the faults of the One, but why they didn't keep the physical buttons and use the logo as the home button or something, I'll never know :( On screen buttons are great, but not when you got all that extra space below it.

Anywho, I digress, having rooted a replacement EVO and installing Yankees Sense 5, its like a whole new phone. Plus I keep the things that matter to me like sdcard, kick stand, physical button for the camera, etc. I really can't complaint with all the developer here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
You're butthurt with HTC cuz you dropped you're phone and broke it? Seriously?! Not to mention, the idea that you're on 4.1.1 despite a lot of development and even official updates proves you're a troll and a moron. I'll feed you no longer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] akaTRAP:
From my first post on the last page:

"I don't think I'll ever touch another HTC phone again considering, from my experience anyway, it was difficult to root, I couldn't flash it, and my phone is still on 4.1.1. I don't think HTC supported this phone at all once the HTC One came out"

Me shattering my screen had nothing to do why I wasn't happy with the EVO LTE. I also didn't root my phone until almost a year after I first got it, and I was still on 4.1.1 despite 4.3 having been released during that time. I also couldn't remove the security on it (again, at that time) unless I dual-booted into Linux, meaning I couldn't flash custom ROMs. I didn't even get another update until a couple months after I went back to college for my Fall semester.

So I think you should learn how to read someone's post before you label them a troll and a moron and end up looking like a moron yourself. You even quoted the post I'm referring to and you somehow still managed to miss that.....and I'M the moron.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yuo. I quoted wrong posts. These two should have been quoted. (Yes, i know one isnt you, it's just pointing out your fallacy in the difficulty of rooting it, and furthermore, lack of updates is an insanely ludicrous charge

, and as for your update issue, crazy, this device is 22mo old and has been updated frequently and recently). I don't understand the misplaced faulting of HTC. When one finger points forward, 4 point ____.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] akaTRAP:
I've had mine since December of 2012 and checked for updates myself every few months until I rooted it back mid summer of last year. Never got any update to Jelly Bean. The only time my phone received an OTA update was about three months after I rooted it, which I can't accept even if I wanted to because it prevents my phone from booting. I only listed my personal experiences with the phone and why I didn't like it overall, and I already explained that my main dislike was difficulty in flashing ROMs because (once again, at that time) you had to boot into a Linux OS to unlock the bootloader. If you love it, wonderful. Go enjoy it.

HTC user since 2010

I'm planning on getting the the 2014 HTC ONE. I've been a HTC user since the original EVO and had every version of the EVO since, plus a rezound. From the leaks, I like what I see...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DustieBottums:
I actually really like this phone now. I started with the original evo. I made a ton of mods and themes for that device that kept me there way past my upgrade. Skipped the 3d. Then finally made the jump to the 4g lte when it was old enough to be free with new contract. I never felt the need to root. Now with this sense 5 update, I am satisfied with the look, feel, and speed of this phone. It actually looks a lot like my gradient theme I made for the og. The only draw back is the sometimes the 4g radio isn't up to par with other phones but I live in a strong 4g area anyway.

I even just bought new housings for me and my wife's phones to make them brand new again. She has the white edition and I couldn't find a new silver housing for hers. I got her the black and I must say the two-tone black and white looks awesome. I am looking for a silver kickstand for mine because I wanna get rid of the red. I sanded down the camera bezel to be all silver and even gonna sand the gloss down on the back to match the rest. I been more physical with my mods rather than software wise this go round.

In short, I will probably keep this phone untill it's last breath or there is some major breakthrough with what these phones can do. Sense 6 doesn't even look like something I want. I never liked transparency or icons that float over a background image. I am finally content. Like a previous guy stated, physical camera button, the three physical buttons on bottom, kickstand, and sd card, it doesn't feel like EOL for my phone at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] protoadies:
As long as all the leaks are correct i will be jumping on the m8 they had me from hello well not really the microsd card won my love.... That was reason i didn't get the one
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:

Another note: I'm really taking an interest in the One Max. My phone is failing, and I font think that it will last until the release of the M8. Plus, my wife is starting to get annoyed with the fact that she can't reach me sometimes (which is the main reason that I might upgrade now).

While I'm not crazy about the size, I do like the battery, and mainly, Sprint Spark support. The other phones that offer it font interest me at all.

I feel like this is an off year for phones. The Samsung S5 is hideous, everything is using snapdragon, the htc all new one seems very similar to the htc one...I feel like they are all pulling and apple and coming out the their own 's' model instead of really doing a real upgrade. I feel like the 2015 phones will be much better than than the 2014 phones, compared to the 2014 vs. 2013 models.

Does the htc m8 really seem that much better than the current htc one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Does it matter? I'm using a Jewel, and it's certainly an upgrade from that. Besides, the Snapdragon 801 is going to be beast and the device has an sd card slot and 5MP FFC, which will make my [naked] selfies that much better :eek:.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
It's supposed to be that way. They don't really make new phones for ppl that have the last year's model. That's why they did the 2 year contracts. Next year's phones will be the next gen.

^^^^^^^^ well said.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowputer:
Received my "eligibility" text on Monday, so I can update now, but I can't seem to find a phone I like more than my EVO. Maybe my perception of the new phones out there is skewed/wrong/uninformed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I've been kinda leaning toward N5 , but wanted to see what m8 would be like. I gotta say, from what I've seen, the m8 lacks some of the stuff I thought was so aesthetically amazing about m7. In particular, the the chamfer around edges that revealed bare aluminum and gave m7 a kind of 'sharp' look/feel that I absolutely loved. Aesthetically (which counts for a lot in my book), the m7 is better, I think, but will have to compare specs to see if the spec upgrade between the two is great enough to compromise on aesthetics.

Then, compare to N5 lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jmcamz2899:
Waiting for everything to come out first. Oppo 7 looks nice but not sure if it will be available in the US.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I'm definitely going to Nexus 5. For $34.99 on Amazon, with my upgrade, why wouldn't I? I've done the specs checking but my #1 reason is being on a tight budget. I think it's a great phone, perfect for my needs.

Well, the M8 has expandable storage so I'll see you all there. :)

If sprint can get them to work in a kickstand we'll finally have a proper successor to the evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy_riley:
You should be eligible for the two year upgrade about 18 months into your service. If you go to the sprint website and login, then check out new phones there is a link somewhere where it will show you your real upgrade eligibility date. You can also text UPGRADE to 1311 and it will send you back your date.

The message you received above (I did as well) is just a marketing trick/gimmick to get folks who do not know better to sign up for this new easy pay plan so they can get your to pay full price + more for a new phone. Slick advertising taking advantage of the folks who are not quite as in the know.

I personally will be waiting for my 9/1 upgrade eligibility and go with the M8, M8 Max (if there is one), or N6 - time will tell. I just got my EVO in Jan of last year so I missed all the fun for the 2013 One, and am just chomping at the bit for this years releases.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
I know. My 18 months is 10/01. But M8 Max over N6.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] toastyc12:
I was overall much more happy with the Optimus G, I had gotten it when it first came out. We had an okay dev scene, but nothing compared to what's been going on here. I had demoed the phone and was quite impressed with how LG really turned themselves around. There's quite a few elements a part of the LG UI that I still actively miss as well, including the messaging app being my favorite OEM-included messaging app. Late last fall I dropped my OG, and the indestructible gorilla glass had shattered up pretty bad. I needed a replacement, fast, and found this phone on craigslist for $50. There's a lot of stuff that I miss from my old OG, but I'm pretty happy with how well this phones held up for me. Sense 5 has really put new life in this as well

My only other experience with HTC was the Evo Shift, "Speedy", which was a great phone. Going from the Evo Shift to the Samsung Epic felt like a downgrade, and the Epic was god awful for me (My usual luck with Samsung, anyways.)

As far as my next device, I'm laying my cards on the LG g pro 2, or the potential g3 successor. I'll receive my upgrade later this fall, so hopefully by then I'll know how well they will stack up to the competition.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yorisou:
I just want a phone with ARMv8 architecture, which probably won't happen until late 2014 when octo-core processors will reach mobile devices. Apparently India and China will be getting these before the USA, which confuses me. 64bit architecture is kind of vital for what I use my mobile devices for (especially Fedora 20 which was released a few months ago in december, comes with perl 5.16 and ruby 3.0 built into the kernel) I could care less about being able to use more than 4GB of RAM.

tl;dr: first phone that will have ARMv8 architecture?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Do remember that the real-world performance gap is really beginning to shorten. Just think of the OG Evo to the Evo 3d, and then the 3d to the LTE. The 3d to the LTE wasn't as much of an upgrade in performance than the OG to the 3D.

IMO, until phones begin to have speeds like PCs, then there really isn't anything "revolutionary" about the upgrade. Most of us don't even overclock anymore. Skip a year if you can, and upgrade when you 2yr term is coming to an end.

It looks like my time with sprint is coming to an end. I just switched my wife and kids to Verizon and in a few weeks when my M8 comes in I'll be joining them. It's funny, I really hate sprint but love this phone. If my service was better, I would use this phone for another year or two. The roms I've used for the last year have been fantastic & have made this a new phone over and over. I have to say, I'm not really looking forward to being stock again. Even if it's for a short time until everything gets rolling on the M8.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onionpixy:
My family's contract ends in July, and we've pretty much decided to leave Sprint and move to T-Mobile prepaid. I know it's a bit early to be looking at phones right now, but as a Below-Average-Sized Human with Tiny Hands, I'm pretty sure most of the new higher-end phones will just be unusable for me. As it is, my thumb doesn't even reach the edge of the Evo's screen if I'm trying to use the phone one-handed, so anything wider (like the M8) is pretty much a no-go. So far I've been looking at the One Mini and the Moto X; there aren't many options when you're looking for "small but not crud" :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ReefAcro:
I preordered a Galaxy S5. In kinda sad though, as I've always had HTC smart phones. I played around with both the M8 and S5, and in my opinion the S5 is the better phone. HTC made some mistakes by removing the physical buttons and making the phone so long and skinny. I don't care for phone speakers so to me the phone is oversized for nothing. The phone is as tall as the Note 3 but has a small screen. When you factor in the onscreen buttons the M8 is as large as my old Evo Lte. The M8 is fluid and very fast. Sense 6 is amazing but the phone design doesn't work for me. The S5 on the other hand has a large screen and feels better in the hand. Plus it has a better camera so I'm happy. I'll just have to find a solution to Touchwiz.

Sigh... I really wanted the M8.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adventure95004:
I went from my evo to the one then a note 3 tried the m 8 and now I am coming back to the Evo, I really need svdo3g for work. At least the notes could do simultaneous voice and LTE one of the advantages of not having spark but now it seems any new phone with spark can only do voice or data but not both.

With the same apps my evo was not really noticeably any slower then the note although the screen size was nice it is poor in direct sunlight where I work a lot the Evo is fine outside even using Google Maps.

I switch between the two using the self activation feature and it is working quite well really wish HTC made an Evo / note with their screen and sense.

So I am going to be using my Evo for a long time have picked up a backup from Craigslist in case this one goes bad , sometimes newer isn't always better.

pre-ordered a m8 today. i signed up for the old BB buy back program, so i should be getting $140ish by trading my evo 4g lte in... so the cost to upgrade will be very affordable. i'm going to miss the kickstand.

my evo 4g lte was a very solid phone, first time in a long time i wasnt REALLY itching to upgrade after 2 years, i used to count down the days to upgrade eligibility... but I was able to wait 4 months for the m8 to release because the evo was stillg etting it done for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Great points. Good review. I went and played with m8 at Verizon store, and quickly noticed the usable screen space was same as my evo LTE. I prefer the aesthetics of the m7. So, to me, its really a toss up between the N5and M7. I root and never use sense, so n5 seems right for me, that said, the hardware and beauty of m7 keep me considering it. Also, I love HTC, and I know they're going thru hard times, financially, and so I worrry that if I don't buy their device this go-round, then I'm helping bankrupt them, which I couldn't live with. So I'm tied and confused. For me, N5 or M7.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I have the N5 and it truly is the best phone I've ever owned. Have you checked out the development forums for it? There's a ton of stuff going on over there. I haven't rooted mine yet because it's pretty much perfect, for my tastes and needs, right out of the box. Plus, if you go on Amazon, with your eligible upgrade, you can get it for about $37 brand new. I was going through the same decision process as you and I'm glad I went with the N5.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
What? You kidding me? That thing would've been rooted the minute that I got home. My Nexus 7.2 didn't last a full hour of me messing around before it was rooted. Do remember that you will lose your info when you root, which is why I tend to do it ASAP.

And to [MENTION=1681704]scottspa74[/MENTION], you sound like a Nexus 5 kind of guy. Keep in mind that GPE roms for the M7 are cursed with a 4MP camera, since it doesn't support the software that utilizes the UP sensors. You might have to move on, buddy.

Hi all, very frustrating, I bought an SPV M1000 on 2nd Feb 2005 and this morning - 12 months and 26 days later it has a complete failure.

Both batteries are fully charged and have tried this through the Desk charger (Green Light), and my In car charging kit.

If I put a battery in the M1000 and placeit back in the desk charger or the car kit - I just get the charging light being Red - Not Amber or Green.

I have tried a manual quick reboot and a main reboot but nothing at all.

Does anyone have any good advice as to what the problam may be as Orange were not very interseted being 26 days out of warranty.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Defender:
What caused failure ,? did you let battery run down completely, have you by any chance damaged bottom plug placing it in cradle,?(friend of mine did and he had similar problem). does nothing at all happen when you try to turn on ? check battery contacts on phone to see if damaged. finally check internal backup battery( similar size to 5p) you should get at least some response. if you ever wish to sell for spares I am looking on here for a replacement screen for mine let me know if you decide to sell at hagafan@hotmail.com
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rubejb:
I've got an older Samsung HDTV (4661 I think is the model) that does 1080p. When hooking up this adapter:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F07KAVM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I get "No signal detected." However, when I connect it to a cheap-o generic TV that only does 720p, it works great.

I'd order a different adapter to try, but I have a feeling that if this adapter works with the generic TV, then it's an issue with my Samsung TV and not the adapter. Has anyone found a similar problem and knows of a solution. Or should I just give up at this point?

My 2013 Nexus 7 is running the latest OS right now, 4.4.2 I believe.
