To Jump from LG G2 to the M8 - that is the question... I loved the M7 but wanted a change when I was eligible to switch...a measly 2.5 months ago. Now I'm feeling the urge to return to HTC. Sense is bland compared to what G2 is rocking, but HTC can be rooted much more easily. Plus, HTC's audio quality has always been pretty good, and since I can't work without listening to music that quality is very important to me. Has anyone else switched from G2 to this? What was the deciding factor?
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Yes, meant bootloader.
[One (M8) General] Scott:
I think I will wait for the S-Off and/or root and return this for now. I cant stand having a locked down device. Drives you mad, lol.
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Can someone on AT&T please tell me their experience with ordering online? Ordering the phone online didn't work for me yesterday, so I placed the order over the phone. All of a sudden today it's saying that my phone won't ship until 3/31-4/2. It doesn't show any delay or "ship by" date online, so now I'm kinda pissed.

Is anyone else getting their phone shipped next week that ordered online yesterday or today? I'm half tempted to cancel my order and try online again.

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
True. I'll be getting the M8 in a month or so, maybe S-off will be achieved by then who knows? Then we'll see some Roms that are clean who knows ;)
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
That's odd. Ordered mine after 6PM local time and got a notification that a label was made at around 10 and it went out this morning.

Has anyone who has an ATT version been able to unlock the phone via HTCDev?

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

If this is true that would be really something. I have an N5 right now and will be getting my M8 tomorrow. I am the same with not caring for AOSP roms either. I've liked Sense oddly enough since the One X. I will definitely do a comparison between the two and post what I find. The Nexus 5 for me has been easily the smoothest device I've ever had.
[One (M8) General] wfrandy:
Mine will arrive from Sprint by end of day Thursday, March 27, 2014. Can hardly stand the wait.

According to the manual I downloaded from HTC it has orange and Green notification lights only.
[One (M8) General] ratchetjaw:
Yes AT&T version and boot loader unlocked and rooted ?
[One (M8) General] fronc:
Especially someone like you.. I remember you from the Touch Pro days LOL. I'll see you back here soon enough... The phone is too good for devs not to rip it to shreds.
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Please Clarify, AT&T version is bootloader unlockable?
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Fronc, long time no talk!

Yes, this drives me insane! lol
[One (M8) General] fronc:
Me too man. Especially after running the m7 the past few months on an AOSP KK ROM... I say when the time comes, we team up and make a banging m8 ROM just like old times. You do the coding. I'll work the QC ;)
[One (M8) General] ratchetjaw:
Yes it's unlockable. Unlocked mine HTCdev site. Rooted it also
[One (M8) General] minieod:
That's really a damn shame, there is no reason not to include a full spectrum LED

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

isn't this working and unlocking?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694925

or: "Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader, Select all other supported models"

looks like people are already flashing ROMs and working with phones from the carriers, not just dev...seems verizon is the only one not working yet
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
Great news. Thanks.
[One (M8) General] ratchetjaw:
Yes I think as of right now Verizon is the only one locked down.
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Good to know the Att version can b unlocked via HTC dev....lol at Verizon mid being blacklisted on HTC dev....silly vzw.
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Well then...

Jump to AT&T and start rolling out CleanROM...

Or wait and pray that the VZW version gets unlocked?

ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Choices are my kryptonite!
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Ordered mine yesterday around 445 pm CST...mine just changed to preparing to ship earlier today but the estimated date is 3/31-4/02
[One (M8) General] ratchetjaw:
Make the jump. ?
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
As always ATT is the lesser evil of the two.
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Just got mine! It was a simple decision on color when I saw them side by side. The M7 looked fantastic in silver, but not so hot (IMO) on the M8. The gunmetal grey screams premium. Loved the finish!
[One (M8) General] minieod:
good thing i got the dev, loading net10 att into it, hope that doesn't give me issues

im more interested, at this point, in the ISIS wallet thing - and not sure what the heck is up with "Secure SIM" cards and how to get one, or if mine is one, or if net10 even does them.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

net10 ATT - full ATT everything for $45 a month no contract

you can make the switch in about 1 hour also, run to walgreens - pick up a 1 month sim, port your number (unless youre on GV) and then youre golden
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Good idea!
[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
LTE speeds??
[One (M8) General] Miserabilia:
I ordered on AT&T premier earlier today, I got the same estimated shipping date range. I was worried and almost cancelled but I got a shipping confirmation a couple hours later and should have the phone tomorrow. I did chose the expedited shipping service too if that matters.
[One (M8) General] MLPosey27:
I ordered from AT&T yesterday. I was told there were no expedited shipping options. The phone rep said 3 days, and the confirmation e-mail after our call said it could ship anywhere from 3/28 to 4/1.

It arrived on my doorstep this evening. :)

Already unlocked, rooted, and running ARHD 2.1!
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
You should definitely make the jump, [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION], because I want to use CleanROM for a 3rd device before you leave a month later :p :cyclops:

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

And kudos to AT&T for not sending a generic box, and including the headphones. I can't remember the last time they sent me the actual case with the stuff it's supposed to come with.

I know some versions come with a 'case', too, but I don't care about that since it wasn't the dot view case.

My Jabba bobblehead wanted to get in on the action.
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Did u receive a email with tracking number when it shipped or did it just randomly show up.
[One (M8) General] bormasina:
Anybody received the Dev Edition?
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Mine showed the same thing and I just got an email not even 30 minutes ago that says my phone has shipped and FedEx tracking show's it coming here tomorrow! Check your email and let me know!

Like the guy below, I also chose the overnight expedited shipping. Not sure if that sped things up at all.

Yep, same thing just happened to me. Phone tomorrow!! :good:

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Bro, we meet again!!

I'm on AT&T and am getting my phone tomorrow....so my selfish response is...MOVE TO AT&T NOW!!! :p

But for reals, I have loved AT&T since the switch and can't wait to unlock and root this bad boy! :good:
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
No email for me =[ my card already has been charged the cost of the phone so im hoping it does indeed ship tonight/tomorrow..also if u ordered yesterday there was no option to switch delivery options...the only delivery option was expedited...
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Damn, sorry to hear that. Nice to see you again as well btw! I recognize you from other forums of phones that I've owned. :good:

Did you choose expedited shipping?
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Yup.
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Damn, well hopefully it ships soon!
[One (M8) General] daboyal006:
I picked up a Verizon one on launch day.. still contemplating on a case though
[One (M8) General] daboyal006:
Oh how time goes by ..lol
[One (M8) General] Copyalot:
Get it
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
I would have picked one up at an att store had it been available... But somehow vzw got the two week exclusive on it in stores... Don't know why HTC thought this would be a good business decision lol.
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Enjoy man! I also came from a silver M7. I'm loving my M8 so far. I can't get over how sexy the gunmetal gray is :p
[One (M8) General] enchanter100:
Got an ATT one. Very nice! While I do believe it's louder, I think it's missing some low end that my M7 had. I don't think it sounds better.. if anything worse...
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
Well, I guess I get to go by an AT&T store tomorrow. They didn't send me a SIM card...the packing slip said 'embedded SIM'.
[One (M8) General] the playa!:
I have the One... HTC One. TeeHee.
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Huh? :confused:
[One (M8) General] firmbiz94:
Hey fellas..I ordered mine from Sprint pretty much immediately when it came live ...early enough that I paid 249 for it ...anyways I got a shipping notification last night and It says estimated delivery for tomorrow ..but it hasn't shown that it's even been picked up yet ..just origin scan ...anyone receive one from Sprint or show any movement on their tracking info ?
[One (M8) General] ahellary:
i have one too :) ..... cant find were this super battery saver thingy is or is it automagic?

first impressions are very good coming from a one x the sound is amazing picture quality is good also the only issue i have is my carrier three uk only deal wither their own shops so my cid is h3g__uk which means it be awhile before i can get a custom rom
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Hooray I just checked my order status and my One has shipped from ATT via Fedex....note I didnt get any email or text, it just showed up no my order status, should be here later today!!!
[One (M8) General] kenny17430:
I have a question, i had the previous HTC m7 and he rotary vibrator when insilence mode was too strong, as i would produce more noise than the ring itself (ok I exaggerate a bit). Can anyone tell me abou the M8 ? Is it subtle like hte Iphone 5S /LG G2 or does it make a lot of sound ?
[One (M8) General] Crooke356:
It wasn't already in the device?
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
No
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
Yep, should have a nano-sim already in it, Hence the word "embedded" not to sound like a schmooze. To check, use the tool that is provided with the phone.
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
I did.
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
Odd. Definitely head down and they'll take care of you.
[One (M8) General] perovero:
Hey guys can someone tell me how much free internal storage is there on the base 16gb model or everyone has the 32gb one ?
[One (M8) General] surge27:
16gb has 10gb available. 32gb has 24 gb available
[One (M8) General] MLPosey27:
I received an e-mail with tracking numbers after a few hours.
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
I just have to say, after 1 day of use, this thing is simply spectacular. In my personal opinion, this is what I had hoped and wanted from the M7 - especially the battery life. So far I've been amazed and am soooo happy I picked this device up.

I believe someone already answered but to verify, it is green and orange only.

I hear you on that one man. This AT&T bloat is simply atrocious. Ugh.

Even with it all on there, this phone is simply amazing.

From what I've read, this is going to be added via an update. Apparently it needs to be approved by the carriers or something?! It's coming though.

Edit: Source
[One (M8) General] firmbiz94:
My. Sprint version finally got updated with UPS and is on a truck out for delivery ..yay!...thing looks like a winner ..as. much as I wish they upgraded the camera..I loved the m7 too much not to get an improved version of it .. the original ONE is the first phone I ever had without any phone envy or buyers remorse ..thng has been a stud since launch ..and I've read the battery life is much improved ..a lot of ppl are bashing this phone. But I dont understand why ..z

[One (M8) General] brar.arsh:
Getting mine today evening, so I will tell you tonight!
[One (M8) General] th3b3:
Which version do you get if you paying full price and you're on VZW? The unlocked version from HTC? Since I'm paying full price I dont see a reason to buy a phone with a locked bootloader. Is the VZW version the only version with CDMA or do they all have compatible radios? The dev version is the same as the unlocked version right?:eek:
[One (M8) General] surge27:
Vzw is sim unlocked but may be somewhat limited on data connectivity. Key word somewhat.

Vzw may have locked bootloader also judging by their history.
[One (M8) General] th3b3:
The bootloader is locked. Its blacklisted on their unlocking site.

[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
Buddy!!! What's up man!!! So love the phone?? How fast is it? I know you're coming from the nexus 5 and Note 3 and G2 before that. How does it stack up vs all 3? Glad you got yours man!
[One (M8) General] h8rift:
Just got mine in a few hours ago. Kinda wish i would have sprung for the dot view case ;p.
[One (M8) General] minieod:
you know you can still buy them, right?
[One (M8) General] h8rift:
Yes, but local VZW store and other stores are out of stock. Which sucks.
[One (M8) General] minieod:
call them at 11AM, that is when they usually receive shipments and restock - that's what i did today

not sure if i will be keeping this case though, it looks great, and has cool features. but i don't think it is going to offer that much in protection from drops, or the sides from scratching.
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Can someone please let me know if this is normal?

On the right side front of the phone right below the front facing camera lens, the bottom edge of the speaker grill material is raised above the glass of the screen. So when I slide my finger up on the screen, I can feel it.

It is also raised on the top of the bottom speaker grill material as well. It seems like something on the right side of the phone is raising it up for some reason.

Do other people have this or should I be requesting a replacement?

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] surge27:
Sone models are raised but I've held a couple in store that were meshed well. So, if it bothers you... Exchange it
[One (M8) General] phsteve:
Mine has something similar, but my screen is slightly angled with the left side high and the right side low. Just enough so that I can feel the difference when sliding my finger over the speaker/screen. Not sure if it's annoying enough to exchange it yet. Otherwise no issues.
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
I am absolutely loving the One
[One (M8) General] drasticza:
Sprint in 2 days

When I ordered it on the 25th I just hoped for Friday. Fast shipping and 199.
[One (M8) General] Rado_vr6:
Got mine and absolutely love. Was a pretty decent wait in the store as well for this bad boy
[One (M8) General] :
Love the phone and I've always hated sense. Enable ART in developer options people, standby drain is virtually 0 for me over 8 hours of sleep last night. The phones a little long but that's my only conplaint.
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Mine is like this but the left side seems perfect with the right side just a tad low. It doesn't bother me too much. On my m7 the screen was higher than the top grill. I felt it every time I swiped down for the notification bar. It drove me nuts. I would definitely exchange my m8 if this happened again. It was the first thing I checked. I don't often swipe up that high or on the far right so I don't think its too bothersome.
[One (M8) General] Baz Scotland:
Got mine yesterday ?
[One (M8) General] Life Engineer:
Guys we are still waiting for reviews/feedbacks from ex-LG G2 users! :laugh: :D
[One (M8) General] crazy88:
Got mine yesterday, sim free from three in the UK. No intention of using it on three though. I've not seen any three branding on it yet, but I've not used it a lot. I'll start using it today during work ;)

First impressions are good though!

Time to sell the s4.
[One (M8) General] crawlgsx:
LG G2 user here, M8 shipped last night coming today! :good:
[One (M8) General] Life Engineer:
Ok great!

Let us know your feedback!

Can you please check some things for me?

1-Does it have screen mirroring built in like in our G2? (mirror phone screen on smart TV) Is it as simple as on the G2?

2-Does it have miracast to share photos and videos to smart tv screen like in our G2? Is it as simple as on the G2?

3-Does it have the incoming call non intrusive notification we get on the G2 while in an application?

4-If not #3, and based on your experience with the HTC one, can we enable it via Xposed module (in Gravitybox, phone settings)?

5-Is there is any call recorder that can record both lines? (your voice and his voice in high clarity)

Thank you! (I'm out of thanks for today)
[One (M8) General] Icyman:
Other than the sound and the SD slot, it's feels just like my DNA the Viper mod.

which is a good thing.
[One (M8) General] Crooke356:
I have a G2, which I still love.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer any of your questions. While the M8 does have a "media output" feature, I'm not sure how it compares to the first 2 items on your list. I believe it's a miracast feature. I've not seen a screen mirroring option. I am on Verizon so I can't tell you about Gravity Box as that's not a possibility for me at this point. There is no call recording feature that I've found. I'm afraid I am of little use in answering your specific questions.

I can tell your that it's a joy to use this device. Coming from no bezel, it does take some getting use to. It obviously has a better feel but not a better fit...if you catch my meaning. I'm able to move around the screen better on the G2 (I do have smaller hands). I haven't used my G2 since I got the M8. For what that's worth.
[One (M8) General] Life Engineer:
Well thanks a lot for your feedback!

I do catch what you mean! And honestly, that's THE MOST ISSUE I'm concerned about on the M8!

I cannot imagine that it's as tall as a note 3 while it only provide you with a 5"!!!

I hate that black added useless bezzel (HTC logo).

It's really a concern that might lead me to shift my interest in this phone! I say MIGHT! :)
[One (M8) General] gharris040604:
I have a g2 and note 3 and they have both been retired since receiving this beast
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hey man!! Yeah man, it's an awesome phone!! It's really fast, I honestly think it's faster than my Nexus 5 at times. I still love my Nexus, but this is definitely better than the Note 3 and G2. It's also better than the Nexus 5 in its own way, but they are very different of course. I think I will stick with the M8 for a while!

Hope you get it! :good:
[One (M8) General] Life Engineer:
Can you please elaborate a little bit? Help your fellow geeks :victory:

Why is that? What did you like more? What about the arsenal of software features that Samsung and LG have in these phones, and that HTC has none? (multiwindow, knock off and knock on, Qslide, non intrusive call notification, etc...)

Thank you!
[One (M8) General] paul211b:
Got mine today so far very impressed. I upgraded from the One X so a bit of a jump.

Can someone open a tips and tricks thread? I ask as I am unable to find the GPS on/off? Also this has a barometer are there any apps that are using this?

Also i managed to double tap and lock the phone once, not been able to do this since.

Over all quite impressed so far.
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
Oh, and it was pretty funny when I went into the store yesterday for a SIM card. One of the sales reps was literally like "How in the world did you get that phone already?!" Haha.
[One (M8) General] jspradling7:
For GPS, Settings-Location-Mode

Double Tap off only works from the lock screen.
[One (M8) General] paul211b:
Thank you.
[One (M8) General] Rippley05:
Huh? What store was that? The phone is available almost anywhere.
[One (M8) General] SimonCraddock:
Picked mine up yesterday in Nottingham.

Very pleased with the overall phone and finally glad to see a raised volume button.
[One (M8) General] Crooke356:
Your concern was my concern. When I first picked this up, my mind set was I was gonna pay $35 for a test run. My mind set is now that I've paid $646 for the best device I've owned. That's a tough spot to take. I REALLY love my Dev Edition X. I just can't believe how smooth this device actually is. We always hear how smooth a new device is when released. It's finally accurate. I own the N5, G2 and Moto X ( selling my s4 Swappa) so, I feel I have something to compare to.
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
Verizon is the only one that has them in store for the first 2 weeks. This is AT&T. Sales reps in the stores around here are never the most informed people as I have learned over the years.
[One (M8) General] Life Engineer:
Can you please tell me what makes you say that it's the best device you have ever owned!?

I really would like to know and would like to own it and consider it as the best! :)

Is it smoother than the "all known to be smooth" N5!?
[One (M8) General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Where in the world can I buy the Dot View Case? I find it insane that the phone is readily in stock but they couldn't make enough of a rubber case to be in stock. :confused:
[One (M8) General] prdog1:
Not available yet unless lucky enough to find one at Verizon. Wasn't even showing on HTC site yesterday.. :cool:
[One (M8) General] Sisyphus306:
Do you listen to music on your phone? If so, how does the audio quality on the M8 compare to the G2, specifically with headphones? I can't help but think the G2 isn't all that great.
