The sim free M8 sold on Glove or Amazon UK are x.xx.401?

I got my HTC one M8 through phones4u. The CID was HTC_001.

I had luck with firewater, but sunshine worked a treat.

For £15 I have s-off and super cid, allowing me to flash the latest firmware. Sunshine is worth the investment :thumbup: .
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
Waiting on an M8 arriving today from Virgin mobile. I assume it will be the international version?

What do you recommend to check first? Bootloader/baseband version? (for s off/boot loader unlock purposes)

The choice was between this and a Z2, the Z2 is still a bit tempting but after trying one in store it didn't really seem to have a wow factor. Don't get me wrong it's got really impressive specs and features but it didn't feel as solid as I imagined, think that's were the M8 has other phones beat.

Upgrading from the S4, so not a massive jump, but from what I've read the M8 build quality and software optimisation are second to none.

Anyone in the UK have any random reboots? Only got the handset on sat and haven't even set it up fully. Tried a factory reset (lost all of the preloaded music/images), still having them. Installed an ota update of about 63mb, still having them. Now installing a 4.4.3 ota. Worried they're still there after, if they are I'll be sending back for a replacement. Weird thing was I could boot into the boot loader, but when I tried to enter recovery I just got the red triangle with an exclamation mark, had to long press power and volume up/down. Pretty annoying as i haven't even rooted or did anything out of the ordinary.
[One (M8) General] blazevxi:
That'll happen if you enter stock recovery. Just like happens on the Nexus line
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
Ah just checked out a YouTube video, must be a while since I've seen stock recovery!

So I need to wait for OTA for my phone? Strange as my CID is 001 so it's mean that phone is not branded adn still not having the OTA update
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
I'm the same and just waiting. It probably rolls out by geographic location as well as CID, it seems to hit some places in Europe so far, so guessing it should be coming within the next few weeks.

I had to go back to stock. Had problems finding the CID as mines showing as O2__001. Found a post to say what stock recovery I had to use which was 2xxxxxx.

I work for o2, and I have a few friends and family discounts left (50% discount of the line rental) Deals have to be done direct via o2 i.e. not CPW and has to be within the first 28 days for it to be added.

Successfully restored fromcnandroid backup last night, flashed the corresponding stock recovery too, all went well initially but then tried to use sunshine and I still got the 'this is capable with your version' etc?! Cleared caches etc, still same out come. Did a ota thinking that might give a different out come, but them my WiFi wouldn't turn on after the update even thou it worked fine with the initial stock ROM restore. WiFi wouldn't even turn in the little switch just turned grey instead of flicking to green. Restored from nandroid back up no problem that I made before messing around but still a bit confused where I went wrong??

Am no expert but that's what I suspect it is ;)

That's where I got the stock nandroid ROM from, restored fine got a ota notification so downloaded and installed. That took me to 4.4.2. WiFi stopped turning on.

One M8 O2 contract

Got mine today on O2, unlimited texts and calls and 20GB of 4G data, supposed to be £38 a month but got a discount for working at county council so it works out at being £28 a month handset free
[One (M8) General] habylab:
£38 a month for that, for 20gb? Wow! I'm on £32.50 for unlimited texts and calls and a GB on EE, no 4g.

Sent from my Nexus 9 (2015). My phone is a HTC One M8! Tapatalk'd
[One (M8) General] Chris_c81:
I'm on EE £38 per month, unlimited calls and texts and 10GB data (including 4G).
[One (M8) General] habylab:
That really doesn't matter to me as it is an obscene amount to pay for a phone I feel! An extra £132 over 24 months. I'm assuming you didn't pay for the phone upfront?

Sent from my HTC One M8. Long live the Galaxy S3 and S. Those forums will be missed!
[One (M8) General] Chris_c81:
Of course its obscene. Most tariffs for flagship handsets are if you want 4G bundled. The total amount you pay over the 24 months is irrelevant for most. If you didn't have £600+/- to buy the handset SIM free then add the cost for whatever SIM plan you put in it. I certainly didn't have it up front, so I'll pay the premium. It's akin to taking out a loan. You get X amount but the total payable is always more then that.

At the time, £38 was about the average across networks. You could get cheaper, but not with any amount of decent 4G data. And I say decent, because I had Three 4G and it was a poor man's 4G. The 4G speed and coverage EE offers is far superior. And now I've had a taste of it, I can't accept anything slower!
[One (M8) General] popoyaya:
The cheapest way to get an M8 in the UK is £240 on the O2 refresh tariff. You just pay the cost of the phone upfront, get the phone unlocked for free and cancel the 24 month airtime contract. I did this and am using my 3-mobile sim with unlimited 4G for £15 per month. This in total works out at £25 per month which is amazing value, and I'm not even tied into a contract...

[One (M8) General] Super Chimp:
I noted on GSMARENA they marked this as having average speaker performance is that fair comment?
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
Where did you see that? A bit strange since the most famous/praised thing about the phone is the front facing stereo pre-amped speakers, so I wouldn't really pay it much heed. :silly:

I dont think I've seen a review or comparison yet where someone has said that the speakers on 'X' phone are better/louder than the One M8. :good:
[One (M8) General] Chris_c81:
Can't quite understand that personally. I was playing the mobile game République the other night while watching TV, I had to turn down the volume to hear the TV!
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
I'm always checking the volume levels, especially when at work as I'm afraid of accidently clicking a video link when checking fb, twitter etc and making everyone jump out of their skin!

I also noticed that the call quality through the ear piece is really good even compared to my previous S4 which was decent.

Here's the link from the review.

[One (M8) General] Chris_c81:
Yeah I often have to turn it down

a few notches in call, especially to my wife! :D

Never had the M7 to compare to myself, but it is far superior to the Galaxy Note II and iPhone 5 I had before it.
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
I woudn't take too much from that, a bit like bench mark scores, which can mean little in real life. The speaker chambers were redesigned and use multi phase amps, which produce a richer fuller sound in comparison to the M7. They're still currently held as the loudest, fullest sounding speakers on a mobile phone.
[One (M8) General] Super Chimp:
Thank you for that feedback.

Hi everyone,

I currently have a Nexus 4 that ive had for a while but recently i saw this, £300 brand new from Vodafone potentially, and it looks like a really good deal. What do you guys think ?

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/htc-one-m8-vodafone-payg-289-00-plus-10-top-up-starting-tomorrow-vodafone-299-2036600?page=3#comments

Might go pick one up tomorrow :good:
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
Seems a decent deal, still a great phone, arguably the best build quality and UI experience out there. I'm still toying with the idea of getting a Oneplus one. I have an M8 which is fantastic, but was thinking I could free up a few quid by selling it and getting a OPO. To make it worth my while Id need to get the 16GB version and to be honest I'd really prefer the 64GB since I would be giving up the sd card slot. A lot of people seem put of about the touch screen sensitivity issues and yellow tint, but I dont think everyone is affected.
[One (M8) General] 22sl22:
Yeah for you it could free up some cash because it obviously must have cost more but for me there only a £40 difference for the 64gb so I might add well get the m8

I was offered an invite by someone but I said no due to the reasons you mentioned and because it's too big
[One (M8) General] gsmyth:
Yep, agree with you in that you might as well add the relatively small amount to get the M8. Quality wise its going to be better, maybe a bit more hassle to unlock the bootloader s-off, if you're going down that route, but once you do you can fully convert it to a GPE if you prefer stock android. Also a lot easier to deal with if something goes wrong as you're not trying to return it back to Oneplus. I've been trying to gauge whether the bigger screen would be better or worse for me, but I think the 5" screen is just right. With all the big screen phones out there like the new nexus etc, the M8 falls into the not too small, not too big category. I dont really want to carry around anything bigger and have a 7" tablet or laptop at home anyway.

S-OFF (again)

Hi there guys,

WRT Vodafone: I'm on VODAP001 , and have 4.4.4 OTA.

I'm a new convert to the M8 having taken the recent £289 Vodafone offer. Fantastic phone. Now I've tablets of different sizes dotted about the place I'm just not needing that Note-size form-factor in my pocket anymore.

I'm unlocked (carrier) & rooted, but I understand from reading above posts Sunshine won't work to get S-OFF.

Is this right, and is it a case of just waiting?

I've moved over form Samsung devices, where Chainfire seems to have a solution the 'next day'.

TIA.

Sullivan.

[One (M8) General] 22sl22:
Hello everyone,

I have now had this device for just under a week now and I have one or two questions before I go about rooting it because I may have a slightly defective phone or maybe i'm just being picky.

Firstly, the screen calibration. The display is really good but some colours do look washed out, especially lighter ones, darker colours are fine. Coming from a Nexus 4 I definitely know what a badly calibrated screen looks like because that was just downright terrible until you change it and put another colour profile on. I have read a few threads and things and it looks like some M8 displays do have a different screen calibration to others (stock) so I just wondered whether anyone has experienced the same thing.

Secondly, lag. This phone is blazing fast but when browsing pages through the stock browser or even chrome there is noticeable lag and choppiness when browsing through text heavy web pages (Mobile view as well as desktop view)

Thirdly, calls. Sometimes calls do not go through and when you press a contact to call the screen goes black and you get this green-ish tint on the status bar when I actually do make a call. Not always but sometimes which is why I haven't provided a screenshot of the green tint.

So do other people have these issues or not? Of course all of these issues can be fixed if I just root it and put a custom rom on but is this normal behavior or am I being way to picky? Just want to make sure before I root it

One last thing, does Sky Mobile TV work for those who are rooted? I have read quite a few conflicting reports that say it does and some say it doesn't. I know Sky Go does not work with Rooted devices but I'm talking about Sky Mobile TV.

I apologize for the 101 questions, just want to make sure whilst I have time to swap for another phone.

Thanks in advance for the replies :good:

Very much so, you have to go back to 100% stock or the OTA will fail (and there's no Xposed in Lollipop). And you won't be able to use a Lollipop ROM as your firmware won't be up to date so things like WiFi won't work

Right! I think I may pass on the ota for now, maybe wait for a more refined update to come out as I've heard of the WiFi problems etc (plus lack of xposed is further putting me off) and as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke then don't try to fix it!
