Yep! The Moto X is also pretty great, and I've considered cancelling my M8 order for a DE one. I used it in store and it's actually really nice. Probably gonna stick with the M8 because it's so much newer though XD
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfMails:
I think about to switch from my "Nexus 5" to the "HTC One M8", but I'm not sure yet. Is it worth it in your opinion?

It looks really very elegant, but does it runs just as smooth without bucking like the Nexus?

Does anyone have a direct comparison between the two phones?

How about if you start games or apps, is the HTC faster?

It has really nice features, such as with the tap to the screen.

How it looks with the battery power? Does it last as long as the Nexus? Or is it even better?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyrres:
Depends so much on what do you want from phone. Gf has N5 and I have M8. My battery lasts longer, her device gets faster updates, both have about same kind of camera quality but not in the same way etc etc. If you want a flagship device you get M8 but if you already have N5 I'd wait for the prices to drop or maybe Nexus 6 or some other new model.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfMails:
I am very happy with my Nexus, but HTC looks very high quality and has a newer processor. But my Nexus is not old, so I do not know if it's worth it at all.

One reason to buy it would be the front speakers and the Unibody
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon_soft:
I made the move from the Nexus 5 to the M8 and I can tell you without a doubt that the experience on the M8 is greatly superior to the Nexus 5. I used to love the bare-bone nature of the Nexus/GPe device but since using this new M8 with the new Sense 6 I have been converted to the HTC way of using android.

Also the build quality and feel of the device on its own just did it for me. The Nexus 5 has been a great device for the last 6 months but it is no comparison for the way the M8 looks and feels. I'm usually the first in my circle of friends and family to get a new phone and since my purchase of the M8 on launch day I can assure you that everyone has been admiring my M8 with envy (this includes all the Apple lovers).

The camera on the M8 is brilliant to mess about with and the user interface is extremely well thought out compared to the stock android interface. BUT I can confirm that in reality the camera quality is not even on par with the Nexus 5 never mind the S4 that my other half uses. I am a photography enthusiast and own loads of DSLR's and can inform you this with some expert knowledge.

Now the battery life on the M8 just blows the Nexus 5 to pieces. I can easily go full day and half of M8 use, this is in comparison to me only getting 3/4 of a day from the Nexus 5.

In conclusion my Nexus 5 has hardly seen use since the day I got the M8 and will soon be finding a new home with one of my friends. My advice would be to upgrade and you will not be dissapointed.

[Moto X Q&A] OmarHaani:
Since this is a Q&A thread, I'm a little curious as to why there is so little support for Sprint. By support I mean the amount of Roms that come out. They're all Ver/ATT/Other companies yet we see little Sprint roms. Am i not looking hard enough? Or is there another place where sprint Moto X Roms are being developed and supported? Or should i just make my own?

[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
Sprint has alot of support almost all the roms work with are phone but we a issue with data dropping randomly and we have to reboot to get it back.

but i dont think any DEV's have a sprint Moto X because there has been no talk of a fix.

i have tried just about every rom that is for all versions of the moto x and they all work great. but the data drop issue we need a fix for.
[Moto X Q&A] OmarHaani:
One of the roms i really really want for sprint it the Eclipse one, but im guessing the problem is that he doesn't have a sprint device to test out a build. There was another one i couldn't think of. Beyond the point though, The problem with most of those roms is that they don't have Active Display, and those that do, aren't that customized like other roms are.

Hi,

I've been using the ZTE Open for a few weeks now - running OPEN_EU_DEV_FOS_V1.0.0B02 according to device information

Just a couple of things

There's no spellcheck avaliable? Found this to be quite annoying - also is it just me or does anyone else also find it hard to type with the onscreen kb/

Prior to the ZTE Open I was using an iPhone 5 mainly - I understand you cant really compare the iphone 5 to the zte open, but surely an auto correct is kinda basic?

Also - I find that at times the phone's slow to respond, is this due to the hardware or just early versions of the OS>? I havent updated

Lastly twitter always seems to crash-- tried loads of times, works fine, then when I click view more tweets or scroll down it just closes

This isn't my first time building from source, but this happens owith any ROM I attempt to compile. So I've ultimately narrowed it down to my build environment. Using synaptic I installed some gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabi packages that were reccomended elsewhere to no avail. I've scoured google, xda and the like but have come up empty handed.

Any experienced developers out there care to lend a helping hand?

Thank you for your time.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skywalker.00:
It's undoubtedly an environment issue. It happens for me with cm, slim and bs.

I tried everything on that page with no success. I also found elsewhere that a symlink may fix it. But that seems to me like using duct tape to fix a leak rather than fixing the source of the leak itself. Still, though, if it works it I'm not gonna knock it.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
Yea it's less buggy and really feels much smoother than 18a. You can always flash back to 4.2.2 if anything.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
Yes, I was also curious. The instructions are a bit onerous, but clear. After installing it, the first thing I was glad to see is that it preserved my info (strange, since I clicked the clear phone data button), and stayed in English.

For those wondering, the Korean KK is real, and works fine. That said, since it seems other countries are receiving KK also (I read a forum saying it had rolled out in Spain already a day ago), I would suggest waiting, and here is why:

1) QVoice is in Korean. 100%.

2) Weather widget is powered by Kweather (not Accu) and is a bit buggy recognizing the cities. I live in Rio de Janeiro, which the 4.2.2 and even the leaked KK had no trouble recognizing. This one cannot find the city, and instead says I live in Sao Goncalo, which is somewhere else.

3) There are some local apps such as QTV, which is specialized to work with local Korean cable offerings. It is a remote control and TV guide, so no online streaming, and thus gives no advantage.

Not planning on it for this build. It's safer going this route anyways. Plus, the KDZ doesn't wipe userdata, so nothing lost.
