[One (M8) General] Crooke356:
Well, for starters, it's the first device since I learned what a 3rd party launcher was, that I kept what it shipped with. Yes, I use the GEL Launcher but only after I've modified it with an Xposed module. On that same note, I'm finding my self enamored with Sense 6.0. I've always been a vanilla-ish interface kinda guy and an EXTREMELY surprised how much I like it. Blink Feed really works for me. All my tech sites, science, Twitter and G+ feeds in one place. One place that looks great (themes, I'll get to that) and is a place to go to get an idea of the smoothness of the device. Watching it scroll without the tiniest bit of lag represents the whole device. I mean ZERO lag. Like I've said before, we hear this often but I've yet to see a single stutter. Now the new theme changer. It covers system apps, toggles (quick settings) and blink feed (maybe more, all I remember now). They only offer four themes and one is all dark grey or black but they do it well. The system apps look great. The calculator and calendar, two apps i replace immediately on LG or Samsung devices, look great. They've used the colored status bar that's become part of 4.4's design language on all HTC apps. That all changes color with the theme you've chosen. The gestures are more reliable than the G2. The only time it's failed was once with camera and I believe it was me. I'm not exaggerating. Every double tap or swipe has worked. The G2 isn't bad but sometimes I gotta give it a quad tap, no biggie.. until it works every time.

The build and bezels. Yes, damn the black HTC bar. DAMN IT! Okay, that's taken care of. I'm used to it now. The black bars that border the screen have become part of the device that gives me an experience out of the box that I've never had.

Smoother than the N5. When I said ZERO lag, I meant it. Not a stutter. I'm not saying the N5 is laggy, but once in a while, I'll catch a glimpse. Not bad by any means and it doesn't bother me a bit. But the M8 does a bit better.

I'm not proof reading this post. Lol

I can't answer this accurately. I've not been on the stock G2 Rom since I got it. However, if it still helps, the M8 is better. I just got a kick ass pair of AudioTechnica M50x's and the combination is a pleasure.

LED notification

I am so excited about this new one ! I have the Htc one x+ and one feature I really like is the LED notification. Is it still available on the M8 ? I do see a LED looking "substance" next to the front camera. Is that the LED ? Still havent got a chance to see the phone in real !
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
There is a notification LED in the second row from the top, 7th hole from the right in the speaker grille. Very noticeable when it's blinking.

sprint m8

just got the sprint variant UPS ground. activated it and running flawlessly, lower speaker grill has the lip raised on the right lower corner of the screen, appears to only be maybe .015"-.020" doesn't really bother me but might bother some people. other than that its perfect, cant find a single complaint. speeds with spark in Dallas area are very fast, signal strength seems to be at least as good as any other. camera is great as long as you don't plan on cropping the shots to much. haven't tested the audio yet. this phone is supper responsive, ZERO lag. love it!

Did anyone switch from the note 2 or note 3? Pondering the idea. Don't know if its an upgrade. I like the note 2 size but the m8 is a good size. Really dig the build quality.
[One (M8) General] skoobee:
Got my gunmetal m8 yesterday. Had htc one before and really liking the way it feels
[One (M8) General] swerver:
Picked up 2 from the local Verizon store on launch day. I was also pleasantly surprised to get the buy one get one, which was an unexpected $200 savings. Add in the fact that I switched from virgin, so I got 2 $100 credits for 2 new line activations, which was also unexpected. Activation fees waived as well. So a total of $0 for 2 new gunmetal m8's... Yeah I'm pretty happy! This phone is the best phone available imo. Only exception is folks that must have higher res photos for whatever reason. I think the photos look great.
[One (M8) General] hoseth0711:
I have just received my M8. I like the phone already, however I have one concern. It seems like there is an edge between the top of the screen and the speaker just above. Is this normal?
[One (M8) General] surge27:
Seems to be normal. I've seen that in every pic and video.

BTW, is yours a carrier or unlocked version? And where did you purchase?

I'm from Denmark and all phones here is unlocked :)

Just a small question. Saw a review and unboxing. Does htc give away a case in the box? He had one in this review
[One (M8) General] omf05:
And weren't you going off about how LTE work everywhere in Philly....

And the DEV edition will run into the same problem unless your area has 1900 Band from Tmobile.

Better off waiting on the Tmo version or GE model...But the price of the GE is stupid high.
[One (M8) General] alhadee12:
There is a slight edge on both ends.
[One (M8) General] skyline23:
I have a N3, and i'm not convinced the M8 is a 'better' device. Different yes, but the screen is much smaller if you're used to the N3.

Browsing the web is a big drawback on the smaller screen. I'm also seeing a lot of crashes just viewing photos on the gallery.
[One (M8) General] sal1311:
I just ordered mine from Att. I should have it by the 8th. I can't wait.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Verizon locked the radio to only work with data. Nothing else works. That is what I was "going off" about, and I talked to the HTC rep on here and several other people that have them already. T-Mobile LTE works on the Dev edition with no issues.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

Really now.
[One (M8) General] omf05:
Like I said it will only work if you live a area where you get 1900...Who on this board has the DEV edition because from what I have read no one has gotten their hands on it yet... I would like to ask them some questions.

Not to sound rude or anything... But I live in a area where Tmobile LTE is everywhere but its the 2100 band which is the main LTE band for Tmobile. I have tried getting on their 1900 and I get nothing but Edge...Only trying to make sure you know what your getting into incase you you don't have the 1900 band.

[One (M8) General] ILoveYouAll:
I usually listen to music on my iPod. Sold off my nexus cause I couldnt stand how terrible the music sounded on my V Moda crossfade LPs, and I hate messing with sound mods and EQs. If the music cant sound like my old One x, no buy for me. Anyways, I went to verizon worried that the M8 would have bad headphone sound due to the lack of Beats audio. TURNS out that crap was just there for branding. It's still there as "Boomsound" as a toggle in settings. I was blew with how loud it was. Seriously after spending nearly half an hour with it I couldnt listen to it at full volume. It didnt sound bad or distorted to me, it was just too loud. First device that truly showed me what my headphones are capable off. Dat bass shook my head like thunders. Now I feel bored when using the ipod. Im so getting this device despite its camera quality. Im not a picture person, but a music addict. So my answer is get the darn device and pleasure your ears.:good::good::good:
[One (M8) General] jakesteed:
I noticed an issue when using the included HTC headphones with my new One--I can't tell if it's an issue with the headphones or with the audio jack on my particular device, but I can't seem to get the connector seated properly for full stereo audio. Usually the left channel is completely cut out or not "full". The odd thing is that when I plug these headphones into another device, they work fine. Similarly, if I use my UltimateEars or other headphones, they work fine in the new One. Not sure what the issue is but it's annoying to say the least.
[One (M8) General] coldconfession13:
Can we get a Verizon m8 forum?
[One (M8) General] the_scotsman:
When you add someone you only get asked simple things. You then have to go back to People > contact and go menu > Edit. There you can add all sorts of stuff to a contact.

I use an exchange account for work, but can't see how to look up those contacts either. Good question!

Ordered the unlocked gunmetal from HTC's site yesterday, showed up today after lunch. Feels goooood...
[One (M8) General] ILoveYouAll:
I've had this happen to me on the One X. I ended up throwing away my OEM headphones and bought another and issue solved. For some reason it only happened with HTC headphones. Sometimes the device would not even recognize them. If plugged some sammys or apples they worked right away, but not htcs. I guess theyre cheap.

[One (M8) General] robertc88:
I'm not having any trouble with the stocked HTC headphones. Do you have a case on your M8, it shouldn't matter but I'm curious if they are fully plugged in. Maybe you just got a bad set of headphones though.

[One (M8) General] pinktheater:
I bought mine yesterday through Amazon. Unlocked edition, gunmetal grey, 32gb :) I can't wait to get it.

In your opinion guys (and I probably know the answer), is it worth to unlock the bootloader and root the phone? I've heard this baby is so awesome that you don't basically need it.

Unless we use apps that require root i guess :D

Developer Edition Update!

OK so I talked with HTC and they said that someone accidentally made the Developer's Edition available today, when it's supposed to be available at midnight tonight (presumably EDT). My order was cancelled and they said to try again at midnight tonight. Another user here said that they called and their order was able to stay valid, but that their device wouldn't ship until April 3rd (maybe the GPE will be out then too?). So for all of you who have ordered/tried to order a Developer Edition M8 and have had issues, hopefully this provides some closure.

[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
So I know a number of you guys said the LED Notification is in the speaker grille (like the M7) but I didn't see it?

I sent my buddy a text (screen off) and it never went off. Unless I have to wait a few minutes to see it? And it was selected in the options.

He just sent me a text and said he did see the notification LED once he got home and played with it more. I was surprised I didn't see it right away though?! Obviously if you guys claim it's there, I can't imagine you're all lying to us. :laugh:
[One (M8) General] ken830:
Thanks! After I saw your post, I refreshed my shopping cart and it got the $50 "Web Special" discount bringing it down to $199. I guess Sprint was just slow in fixing their site.

I just sold my HTC One (M7) for about $300. I thought I would be dead set on pulling the trigger on an off contract device. Its about $640. Trying to decide haha. $300+ out of pocket of course. You guys really enjoying it? Anyone come from the M7?

2 for 1 at Verizon

As soon as I heard that it had a Micro SD card slot, I was sold. Coming from a DNA, this phone gives me everything I had and much much more.

So imagine my surprise when the Verizon rep says it's buy one get one free. The sky's opened and the seas parted.

Only $99.99 per phone.

Unlike so many I really appreciate the low light camera. I was in the under 8mp camp. nothing like a high megapixel fuzzy pic to fill your phone with junk images. I have a real camera for that.

Now waiting on root...
[One (M8) General] nugzo:
Question is Scott, how long will you keep this "one" :) lol. Seems you couldnt make up your mind on the m7. :rolleyes: Hopefully this device is nice enough to keep you around for a while though. :good: I really enjoy your roms, some of the best on XDA

No need to apologize lol.
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Damn, I wonder why I didint get one free? Prolly because I wouldnt sign the contract. I paid for mine flat out.

Hehehe... Just like all things, depends on the user base. If I get good vibes I keep the phones for a bit. If not I sell it and move on to the next.

But so far I am liking it!

Hell yaz!

Its the same camera hardware used in the m7. If you liked that then this will be the same. I have both in my hand and cant tell a difference.

I had that $249 total too as an upgrade on Sprint, but seen it was $199 with contract on there before signing in. So I called, and called, and chatted, and called Sprint. I heard everything from "We'll send you a $50 rebate" ... to, "New line its $199 upgrade is $249" ..... to "account bias" or some such... After 4 reps, a 45 min chat with "cobrowse", a call to my business acct manager, and lastly to business customer care, I got them to set up the order for me for $199 as it should be. I looked on Sprint 30 min ago - shows $199 as it should now...... Must of fixed it

Ordered mine with AT&T an hour after the announcement. Gunmetal Grey was the only color available - I personally love the Glacial Silver (of the M7) but hated the white bands on the back. Decided I'd be okay with Gunmetal Grey solely because of the black bands. Saw it in person after work and it is beautiful.

Got a shipment notification around 5pm. Really looking forward to this phone. Never really minded the camera on the M7, in fact I've taken some of my best (mobile) pics with the M7 over all the other devices I've used.
