[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFanboy:
My main 2 concerns about the m7 that eventually led to me returning it for the Note 3 were:

- Overheating. My m7 was always hot to the touch, even when just browsing the Internet. Has this issue been fixed in the m8?

- This one is not a classic complaint, but it annoyed me personally. The lowest volume setting on the m7 was way too loud. When I would lay down at night time and, say, watch a YouTube video the lowest volume setting was always too loud and become annoying at night during sleeping hours. Hopefully the m8s volume pallete has expanded.

Also can the button bar be collapsed when playing games to make everything full screen? Is there an option in settings?

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt95:
I own the M7 now and I've never had such issue...

That's boom sound, you can't do anything about it :)

I don't know this necause I still don't have the phone but if not there will surely be such an option with custom ROMs
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8pozzum:
I had the HTC DNA which shared the same problems you mentioned about the m7. I played CoC for 2 hours last night and there was a noticeable difference in the lack of heat. I don't think it ever got hotter than body temperature through an Otterbox Defender. The DNA was a mini-furnace in the same type of case.

I watched a quick youtube video after we went to bed and it was barely audible on the lowest volume setting and didn't wake my wife on lvl 3.

Yes the bar disappears when you go full screen. You have to drag from the speaker inwards to make it reappear.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David 617:
This is a feature in Android 4.4, so yes the on screen keys+notification bar can disappear in games, videos, and YouTube.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xShin:
As far as overheating - I know what you mean. My M7 and my DNA both had that issue, and thus far I haven't had that problem with the M8 yet. It always seems to be fairly cool regardless of what I'm doing.

I had the same volume issue with the M7 - even on the lowest volume setting, I'd always feel like it was too loud at night. The M8 has a huge volume range for its speakers, ranging from barely being able to hear it to people on other floors being able to hear it.

When you're on a fullscreen application (videos, games, etc), the button bar collapses automatically (not sure if there's even anything you can do to prevent it).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SysmanUK:
Hi. I have a MDA Vario, ALK Co-Pilot with Bluetooth GPS & a Pama "Plug'n'Go 4" Bluetooth Car kit.

I can use the Vario and the Car Kit together with out a problem and I can use the Vario and the Sat Nav with out a problem, but I cannot use them both together. When you run the Co-Pilot software on the phone with the car kit paired it disconnects the car kit, then the car kit re-connects itself, then it disconnects etc.......

I have looked in the bluetooth pairng for the Car kit and their are no settings I can change, and the Co-Pilot software talks directly to the Bluetooth GPS receiver and thir are no settings that can be changed in that either. I am stuck. Co-Pilot say its the Car kit and Pama say it is the Sat Nav, and the guy in the T-Mobile shop says it could be the Windows Mobile 5.

Does anyone know if TomTom or any other Sat Nav vendor do a demo version for Windows Mobile 5. That way I can see if it is a Co-Pilot issue or not, I know people with Sat Nav systems but none of them are for Windows Mobile. I also know a couple of people who use bluetooth headsets but not car kits, I cannot get on with headsets, after about half an hour I want to throw it out of the car window. I have asked if I could borrow a car kit from the T-Mobile shop, but they said no!!

I downloaded and installed the latest rom from T-Mobile last night, it was only released on the 19/06/2006, but it did not fix any thing.

Regards

Andrew

Hi sysmanuk i have got copilot and vario and hve used it fine on a parrot 3100 i also used tomtom again no problems this was on the old tmobile rom not used it on new rom but it sounds like it is the pama device causing the problem can you upgrade its firmware if so try that
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leaskovski:
Hi ya,

I can confirm that i use tomtom, a parrot ck3000 and a holox bt-321 with no problems. They all stay paired.

I can either turn the BT on before i get in the car and thus just have the ck3000 pair, or i can have BT turned on paired up with the ck3000 then start Tomtom and have no issues. Or i can just start tomtom with turns the BT on and then this auto pairs with the GPS unit and the ck3000.

I hope this givess you some help in to finding out what is causing the issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Paul Witkowski:
I had this issue, using the T-mobile MDA Vario release rom, a Parrot ck3100 & tomtom5.21 with a bluetooth rikaline gps.

If both used together, the car kit would randomly disconnect bluetooth, and the gps would also randomly diconnect.

Used seperately they were fine.

I went back to using the Vario with the Parrot, and my old Ipaq for Tomtom/GPS.

I have now updated to the Mr Clean rom, and plan on retesting once I reload all the software.
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
The phone i am looking to get is called the samsung galaxy appeal in USA, or the samsung galaxy ace q in canada.

the main draw to this phone is its design - a real slide out keyboard.

but im just confused as far as which directions for rooting i would follow? I cant find any directions specific to that phone model, only the "samsung galaxy ace" but that and the phone I want are quite different. the model number for mine is sgh-i827D, if that helps.

My plan was to play around with it and put the latest (stable/recommended) version of android onto the phone before adding any personal touches. I know its operating system is older now but i really do enjoy the physical style of the phone itself.

Any advice would be great, thanks!

If it helps, once i root, as far as i know the only thing id want to do is upgrade the android version.

Ive seen people say they got their regular ace running version 4.4
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Ace on 4.4 is possible but not recommended as its just a bit too slow for KitKat. The point is that custom roms are communtity made and if there is no community, bacause of neraly no one owns the phone you have, there will be no custom roms.

I was not even able to find the stock rom for i927D provided b samsung on the internet. I would always inform myself about the abilities to mod a device before buying it.

I don't think it is a wise idea for others do that. That guy probably just got lucky and there may be some long term effects if any water logging occurs. This phone is not certified to be water resistant.

But I was quite surprised nonetheless!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] turbosrrgood:
Both of the previous posters make good points. It's great that the phone appeared to work after being submerged, and it is indeed impressive if it was really able to remain active underwater for so long...However, it was obvious that water was slowly filling up the phone through the headphone jack, and it's likely there would be some long term damage due to possible corrosion and water being trapped. Also, there was no demonstration that the speakers, headphone jack, SD card, charging port, ect still worked.

Still, I'll take it for what it's worth. My S3 stopped working after 3 minutes of being outside in light drizzle, though it was later revived.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sigshane:
To me, that's like taking a wet $500 bill and throwing it into a fire, to see if it will burn.

If it burns, you're out 500 bucks. If it doesn't, you've gained NOTHING.

Stupid test.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
from what i read somewhere, the htc one m8 is ipx3 rated. pretty much means that rain, splashes of water won't damage the phone. the whole submerged in water for 90 minutes deal, now thats a little extreme

EDIT: "The HTC One (M8) IPx3 rating means it's protected from water spray up to 60 degrees at 10l per minute, pressure of 80-100kN/m2 up to 5 mins" link here

Im not surprised, I dropped my Droid DNA in the lake and it sunk a couple feet before I could get it, and worked like a charm after that. Then later on when I tried to tear the phone down to replace the screen I found out it had a rubber seal around the outer edge of the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HughesNet:
On a similar note (pun intended) on vacation a couple weeks ago my wife was leaning over a tide pool. Her Note 3 slipped out of her coat pocket and into the tiny pool. The pool wasn't even hardly as deep and the phone is tall and she grabbed it right away and handed it to me. I immediately took the back cover off and removed the battery and dried it down with a towel. Yet, the screen still fried. The phone itself worked. I could hear it turn on and give notification. But the screen was dead. Luckily I was fast enough with the drying that no water damage stickers turned pink and I exchanged it under warranty.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] UgXvibe:
My wife dropped her old Droid Incredible to the bottom of a full water trough. Did the little rice trick and it was fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
The M8 is rated for IPX-3 liquid protection, which means it's protected from water spraying onto the phone at a pressure of 80-100kPa for five minutes at any angle up to 60 degrees from the vertical. It can handle a volume of 0.7 liters per minute.

I'm surprised HTC doesn't advertise this at all. Keep in mind, IPX-3 means you can walk through a rainstorm or a sprinkler system and be fine.

This is not the IP67 rating that the Galaxy S5 has, which does protect against light submersion in water (what the guy in the video did). IP55 of Sony's xperia line is even better, being capable of longer and deeper submersion.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nabbed:
I bet the phone would die quickly if he put a detergent in the water though.

Surfactants like detergents would make the water enter the speaker grills and other small holes.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ransz:
I saw this clip before i ordered my M8 unit, however if u keep searching, there is another youtube clip doing a comparison between the iphone 5s , galaxy s5 and the HTC m8. In one of the tests he makes a water test of submerging all 3 phones. The M8 did indeed kept on working BUT the speakers stopped playing music... something you dont see in this video...

so im guessing that the speakers will be the first to go when in fact tasting water...

I disagree

I don't think it is a stupid test. I think it is a great thing to know about the device. Now I don't have to worry about small splashes or water droplets getting on the phone. Not to mention, the video has over 500,000 views which means people want to see these types of tests. They can then sell advertising and make money off of these videos and probably made enough to cover the phone. I enjoyed the video and always enjoy water, stress tests on devices. I respect your opinion but I respectfully disagree.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tallywacker:
Wow !
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lopan12:
Actually, IP55 is a less robust rating than IP67.

The first number (5 for xperia, 6 for S5) indicates its dust-particle...proofness... :ahem:

The second number indicates the water rating. 5 is water jets, and 7 is 1m submersion.

An X means its not rated for protection. So IPX3 means no particle protection rating. The lack of particle protection is like due entirely to the USB and headphone jacks. Cover those up and it would probably be IP43...

Looked it up, for whatever reason, Sony has it listed as IP55/IP58 ... :confused:

One more question?

If buy the google play edition, can i convert it to developer edition and put sense? I know why would anyone want to do that. But just want to try Sense 6. Also, in terms radios google play edition is the best since it has all the radios. Other models have some or the other radio missing.

Still can, it's the hsdpa T-Mobile it's not compatible with, only aws on lte for AT&T and dev, no aws hsdpa
[One (M8) General] surge27:
So....did some reading AND....

If you live in a refarmed 2G area for T-Mobile, than you'll get 4g (aka H+) and be a-okay. T-Mobile LTE will be fine also...given you already live in a lte market.

That's what I figured but I will post my findings when I get the device. I get LTE on most devices I use except Verizon at the moment.

Only AT&T LTE?

[One (M8) General] wKovacs64:
I've asked both HTC and T-Mobile and they seem to think 3G/4G should work fine on the Developer Edition but I'm never super confident in the technical abilities of sales associates. I did notice HTC updated their specifications on the order page for the Dev Edition.

Is there something missing from the networks listed there that would prevent 3G/4G on T-Mobile?

Edit: Ah, it's missing 1700 MHz (AWS) under UMTS. Thanks SolarTrans.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
It gets T-Mobile LTE buy with confidence.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Yes there is. It's missing AWS support for 3G. It has it for LTE, though.

GPE has AWS for 3G and LTE. That's why it's fully compatible with T-Mobile and AT&T.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
And that is why it is more expensive lol.

$649.99 is enough

Not to mention a dot view case
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Yeah lol for the difference you might as well get a Dot View.

I think the Dot View is compatible with the GPE though, as the app that controls it is in the Play Store.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Yup
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
I do have a question for the GPE orderers here:

To me, the GPE seems like a strange offering. Sense is already pretty low on bloat, and the M8 is kind of a pain to use without the motion gestures. If you wanted a stock phone, your only real advantages with the M8 over the Nexus 5 are better battery life and expandable storage (ok BoomSound too).

Nexus 5 is $300 less, is lighter, smaller, easier to unlock/lock, and gets updates faster.

I'm not trying to hate on it, but could anyone who ordered one post why?

Thanks!!
[One (M8) General] acPIZZA:
I see where this dude is coming from. My initial reaction was excited to transform my m8 into aosp, but I am unsure if I am willing to do it at the cost of the swipe to unlock. The swipe to unlock is pretty sweet and even works better than lgs knock on...

What are the chances of preserving the swipe unlock without sense? Slim to none?
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
HTC has a lot of their Sense features on the Google Play store, but I don't see this feature coming to the GPE. Makes the phone quite difficult to use IMO.
[One (M8) General] Tikerz:
There are Xposed mods for s2w and double tap to wake.
[One (M8) General] acPIZZA:
I have only messed with xposed on Samsung devices, but if the mods you're talking about are as reliable as the m8s sense implementation, I'm on board.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Oh cool. My only concern is that they'd eat more battery than HTC's offering.

Since the dot view case app is in the store, it's very possible it controls motion gestures considering you can control stuff with swipes on the case. Unlikely, but possible.
