[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
Will you/did you upgrade from the M7 to the M8? If you're sticking with the M7 why?

I'm not sure? I'm interested to hear other's opinions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguitarman94:
I upgraded from the M7, you can't go wrong either way. The M7 was the best smart phone I've ever had but I like to have the latest things so I took the plunge for the M8. The two very small gripes with my M7 were the purple tint issue and the battery life. After 8+ months of ownership I was only just getting a day on battery if that on light/moderate usage. The M8s battery life is 40% better than the M7 so that is a huge increase. The purple tint issue has also been fixed. It's not a huge upgrade and if I were tight on money I could EASILY of kept the M7 till 2015. Your choice. This might get locked as it's a phone comparison thread but hey ho.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
Thanks for your thoughts.. I agree about the battery. 12 months on I can certainly see the decay.

I hope this doesn't get locked as it is useful to those like me who have the previous model and are debating to upgrading to the next generation.

I understand comparison threads being closed, but this is discussing the same manufacturer and practically the same model, just the upgraded version. Normally flame wars happen between other OEMs like Samsung and HTC.

I imagine this thread would be useful to others who are undecided on wether to splash out of commit for another 2 years on a device that may in the real world seem just the same as the M7

Hope we can keep this discussion going!:fingers-crossed:

Same as me. I had a play with one at the O2 store today. Gotta say... its the finest looking mobile phone I've ever seen. Gun metal grey is defo the best. I'm thinking of getting one from Three tomorrow on PAYG. £459!

but I have an M7 and its in perfect condition and will have Sense 6 soon making almost the same as the M8. Is it really worth spending the money??? :rolleyes:

And Sense 6 coming soon.. well already here really, had it on yesterday for a while, but not officially out yet.

But.. I do want one. That's a lot of nice things I could get for my motorbike though lol.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
I have T-Mobile JUMP, so I'll be trading in my M7 for the M8.

As of right now, I have another $300 to go before my M7 is paid off. On ebay, a used M7 goes for around $250.. and then you minus some shipping and ebay fees.

Definitely not worth it for me to just stick with the M7.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaggrey:
How exactly does JUMP work? I'm eligible for it now as well but obviously haven't used it before. Do you ever get to have both phones at the same time so you can transfer information, or do you literally go in the store with one phone and come out with the other?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
That I'm actually not sure about. I was planning to back up all my stuff to my computer myself.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
You have to backup everything because you will never have both phones at the same time. You literally bring the old phone to the store, they inspect it for screen and water damage, they set up the new phone for you (they'll set up your GMail and sync the two for you) and then you walk out.

And yes, as soon as T-Mobile gets it in store, I'm using my JUMP for it. There's no reason not to since if I don't like it I can just use my second JUMP credit to trade it for something else (which I will consider doing when the 805 devices roll out).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaggrey:
That makes sense. What if you do the process online? I'm wondering if they would send you the device then you could take your current device to the store to trade it in.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
How is going from 2300 to just 2600 (300 increase) a 40% better?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
It's not just the mah that matters. You have the more efficient SoC, better optimizations... Stuff like that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
Not sure if its actually 40% (could you link to source?) but I've definitely read that the M8 gets better battery life than the M7 from several reviews.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonesdenano:
Well, i will get mine soon. Thanks to all SkyDragon user via donation! Max, butterfly, hox and m7 users.

I couldn't keep my hox, should sell it to get m7... But this time its different, i keep m7 and will get m8.

Why? Mostly for cooking reasons. All my team has m7 and today 6 of them has also m8.

The rest will jump soon too, we are like 40 hahaha.

I love design, sense 6, well.. All.

Doesn't mean m7 is old, i still very happy with it. But also want to taste new m8. Im curious about dot case and sense 6.

About battery, m7 got good battery, screen, best devs and roms. And soon m8.

Btw,i will release our first SkyDragon rom soon, if someone wants to join my team to be tester, or has code skilz or theming skilz, just pm.

Well done HTC, again best phone of the year! No doubt.

Have to state that. If i should keep my m7 only, im Happy too as we are getting Sense 6 soon, also dot cover
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123421342:
Literally just upgraded from the M7 two hours ago. Wow. Seriously just wow. I just tried out the camera, the effects are really cool. It is super mega smooth. The new SoC is very power efficient and fast. Definitely feels better too. Also glad to be rid of the purple camera tint.

Before this thread gets moved or deleted: you must tell us that whether you have unlocked your bootloader. If you haven't unlocked it, then you're stuck with SafeStrap and you should give up on ANY AND ALL custom ROMs beyond Android 4.2. Otherwise, if you have an unlocked BL, just fastboot flash a custom recovery and flash any ROM from there.

And stop posting the same question everywhere!

I noticed that Wizard has a very poor GSM signal reception. Compaired to SonyEricsson P910i, which was extremely reliable when it comes to signal reception.

One of the disadventages of bad reception is faster battery drainage, but it doesn't bother me that much.

Sometimes it happens that Wizard tries sending SMS (text message) several times, until it succeeds in that action..unfortunatelly, it seems that the sending was successful every time, so I end up with boosted phone bill, and my recipient with several same messages.

Does this happen to you? It starts driving me crazy, although I have a Wiz for only a month now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mccune:
Maybe you are using Pocket Plus?

In that case you have to add tmail.exe (\Windows) to the exception list. You can find the list in the Settings of Pocket Plus.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
Yes I do have it installed. But if you're reffering to that problem saying it's because of having Pocket Plus installed, I must say that it did happen even before I installed it 2-3 days ago.

I just opened Pocket Plus' Settings but it seems I cannot find Exception list (though I think I've seen it once I browsed through the option first time I installed it). Could you be more precise?

And, yes, what exactly one gets after adding tmail.exe to the exception list? :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
My wizard has a v good gsm recetion - you may find the reception better with the original o2 rom rather than the t-mobile one you are using. Or your provider signal is poor!

There is a known glitch so it sends two messages if you close down tmail before the message is sent.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
When you said "close" I figured out where the exception list could be :) So I added tmail.exe to the list..but I kinda doubt it'll solve the problem. If it does..hooray! :)

I doubt cos I didn't see that Close button actually works like a real close (even with Pocket Plus). Just in case, I've just switched tap and hold functions on close button. Tap will minimise it and hold will close it. And just saw that my messaging app stays open even if I hold stylus over X button :(
