[Verizon HTC One (M8)] InvaderDJ:
Battery life hasn't been that bad so far

I've had the phone for a week and so far I'm impressed with the battery life.

GSAM seems to have an issue with accurately displaying screen on time (I've experienced screen on stats that are either way less than I know I used it, or way more than I know I have) but I know with similar usage to my M7 (about 4hrs of screen on time, plenty of Twitter and reddit, listening to locally stored podcasts for about 2hrs and about 14hrs of total time off the charger all on cellular) I haven't gone below 30% battery life. I used to keep my M7 on my car charger while driving back and forth to work and sometimes gave it a quick 20min charge while going to lunch and I'd still be at 20% or below before getting home.

With the M8 once I take it off the charger to go to work I haven't touched the charger until getting home and even then I've got a lot of battery left. And standby time is pretty amazing, it barely drops at all after taking it off the battery. I'm still testing and may soon root it so I can install Better Battery Stats and enable the stats for wakelocks but I'm loving the battery. I'm starting to not even think about battery now, I just use it without thinking about turning the screen brightness down or turning off NFC or GPS.

I'm coming from a n3 too and it's doing better so far.

Auto brightness
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] InfiniteXavier:
I am not seeing any of those benefits with my battery. Either I am the heaviest user on here, or my M8 is bad, or my settings are out of wack?

What settings do you have it on? I swear the auto-brightness is not adjusting and/or the software just being stock is causing it to drain quickly.

Just to give you an example, today has been one of my least usage days and im at 56% after 4 hrs and 21 minutes on battery. The usage says 41% android system, 15% chrome, 11% dialer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] steelersmb:
I was having terrible battery life. I backed up everything and started over and my battery seems to have gotten better. I haven't used it much since then but even when the screen was off, the phone was eating up the battery. At least now, I am still on about 75% since my last charge 19 hours ago. This is probably with only about 40 minutes of screen time but still not having the same problem I was before.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] UgXvibe:
My battery life is stellar! I use my phone about the same way everyday. My Rezound would last about 8 hours with extended battery, my M7 would last 18-20 hours give or take.. Check out my screenshot.. Awesome.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ontophantoms:
I wasn't too impressed the first couple of charges, but on my last charge I got a little over 50 hours, with 6 hours of screen on time, before I had to plug it back in. I'm using Better Wifi On/Off, which makes a huge difference, and I disabled all the Verizon and Amazon apps, which were eating through the battery the first couple days I had it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
There's no other app to monitor screen on time usage other than GSAM battery?

yea. factory reset did wonders for me

Great battery life here. All day use with 30 percent left at bed time.

Something is keeping my m8 awake 100% but still good battery life...5 hours screen on :)

Pandora on the One M8

I'm getting 8 hours of Pandora usage on headphones with 56% battery left (I was texting and web browsing for about an hour during that 8 hour period). So, you may not need to get an external battery unless you plan on more media usage. Plan for 12 hrs on one charge with medium usage. I use Battery Doctor and in power saving mode I can get up 22 hours with moderate usage. Don't forget that the HTC One M8 has quick charge 2.0. With the appropriate charger and cable it will only take 95 minutes to charge. Mine uses quick charge 1.0 and takes around 2 hrs to charge.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aswinrulez:
I have a nexus 5 32gb black.I was running on latest omni rom and elementalx kernel.Yesterday night i saw an update for faux kernel and so i downloaded it.Before flashing i made a nandroid backup(system,data,boot and efs) ,wiped cache and dalvik cache,flashed the kernel,restarted my phone and I went to sleep. I didnt actually see if it turned on at that time. Now in the morning when i tried to use the phone it was off and when i tried to turn it on its not turning on. I tried charging but the LED light is not glowing. I also tried to restart by holding power button and both the volume buttons for 20seconds. Still no use

So i contacted google and they said if it doesnt turn on they will replace it for free.But since i am now in India they said i would have to get it to states and i have 11 months since i bought the phone to do it. So i will be sending it this weekend. My doubt is how does RMA process work. This is what i understood

1.You contact google RMA team and they send u a link to buy new phone

2.You buy a new phone and they will take back the old phone.

3.Once they verified the phone comes under warranty they will release the money they held in ur card to buy the new phone

Now here are my doubts:

1.What does 'comes under warranty' include.My phone looks brand new. No damage outside.Its only a month old

2.If they manage to turn it on then will they take the money for the phone they send me. Will i end up buying a new phone? or would they just send the old phone back?

3.Will the shipping of old phone be handled by them?

4.Should i ship the old phone first to get the new phone?

5.How much time does it take for the whole process?

6.Am i allowed only to buy the same model or can i order the red one?

7.Can the original buyer only apply for RMA or anyone with the full box set can?

8.Is the bill required?I only have the box and all the accessories

9.Anything else i should be knowing before doing it?

Thanks in advance :)

Connect your phone to the pc and see what error it shows.

As per the RMA process I bought my device from Indian play store and know about their process but its differenent from that of the states.

I have a general Idea about how it works in the US but it will be better if someone from there only could explain you further.

.

Anyways if your phone is not gettimg on they would also not be able to detect what happened with it.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp119519:
I just wondering if the MHL adapters of Samsung can be applied to HTC one M8. Dose HTC M8 Support MHL functionality like Samsung Smart Phone? Anyone know about that? Any answer will be appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahecht:
The M8 does support MHL, but Samsung uses their own proprietary nonstandard 11-pin version of MHL that is not compatible with standard 5-pin MHL devices from other manufacturers such as HTC and LG. There are, however, many MHL adapters that work on the M7 and would presumably work on the M8. This is the one I use: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&format=2
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badelhas:
I ´m with an unlocked M8 which is with the 2.23.118.3 firmware version, which is from T-Mobile Poland. I tried 2 generic MHL adapters and with the HTC Official AC M490 MHL Adapter but it just dosent work. When I connect everything up (no matter the line-up) the phone says it´s in MHL mode and that I can now see a video on the TV but the TV dosent receive any signal. I tried with different HDMI cables and on 2 different TV´s and 1 Projector but still nothing.

Can it be from the firmware version or something? On my old galaxy S3 and S4 it worked flawlessly, including simple mirroring. Can someone using this firmware please confirm that MHL is working?

Thanks in advance

Good day/evening ladies and gentleman. I am a noob, go ahead, laugh.... I am an american living in China, I have a GS4 GTi9500 but the connection sucks here. I'm always stuck on E if I'm not connected to wifi. I am seriously contemplating to buy a Note 3, I need it for my studies and the S-Pen is a big help for writing Chinese characters.

Now my question is, they sell the Note 3 N9008V here, but I know that it being in China mobile it probably has no google support (playstore, etc) so I would like to know if there is a way to install a western version of android? I believe you guys call it custom rom? Or if it is better to have someone buy a phone in Hong Kong and bring it to me already with said version of android? I need something that can at least run on 3G. This 2 and 2.G connections are driving me insane.

I can't begin to thank you enough if you help me out here.

If anyone is willing to help guide me in a custom rom installation step by step through skype I will pay you for your services via paypal.

I am getting desperate here.

Mate, my suggestion would be to get the international N9005 version... More support if you need it... N008 version has a VERY limited user base and not much support...

Make sure its the 32gb version though, not the 16gb Hongkong version as that also has its issues...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aagz0921:
Ok. I'll look into it. Now how do I know which band does it run on? Meaning, will it be able to at least run on China Mobile 3G? Or better yet, 4G?

The network signal will be depend on ur carrier provider. It has nothing to do with the device.

It depends on the coverage.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
you are referring to a N9005 "used" ?

I suggest don't buy online with shipping like that for used item. Because you can't check the device on the spot of payment.

If you like to buy online, buy a new one. Much better than a used one, because for used one, you will have no idea what the device has gone through on the 1st hand buyer.

If I'm not wrong, item can be shipped to US country as well.

"Shipping and handling

Item location: Chatsworth, California, United States

Shipping to: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Denmark, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Estonia, Australia, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Slovenia, Japan, China, Sweden, Korea, South, Belgium, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Russian Federation, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway"

but if you ask me whether can be used for US carriers or not, I'm not so sure. You have to see the network band frequency, whether it is compatible to be used with US carriers or not.

Normally an International Factory unlock version, should be able to work with any country's simcard, with a match band frequency.

I might be wrong, I have never been to US. :) Perhaps other users in US might explain about this.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alom5:
I hope you are aware that the signal won't change from E add your friend already had hers and it's the same. It is problem with your carrier and not your phone. So getting the note 3 won't improve that situation at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiMz:
Remember you have to unlock your phone on the country you buy it. Example: if you bought your phone in England. You have to use a UK sim card in it first. Then you can take it else where. .

Secondly you can use the program called hotspot VPN shield. This will make your phone appear to be in USA and will give you access to the US play store.

Yeah. Thanks... But I just found out anyone shipping a phone to China has to do it with DHL Global which uses a pressurized cabin. The chinese consider phones and batteries as "hazardous" materials. I'm aware of some problems with Lithium batteries. But if you ask me I think they just want to keep people here from accessing foreign material. I decided not to buy from that guy because of his recent feddback. My plan is to buy it and have my cousin activate it in the U.S then have it shipped to hong kongg to a friend's house and he can bring it to me when he comes to the mainland...
