I wonder if there will be 'Dual Sim' version like the One (M7)?

I am looking for high end dual sim phone and the One fits the bill.

I'm going to get my m8 very soon, hope that the ac version would be sold in Hong Kong, and hope there won't be any differences in software

Judging from past history, there will be a dual SIM version for the China market at the very least.

Also if you notice the SIM tray can be modified to support dual SIM.

[One (M8) General] The-Last-Hylian:
I just went into my local Carphone Warehouse to look at the HTC One M8 display that they had.

It has cemented my love for HTC and the One series.

The build quality looked great from what I could see, nice screen, the body felt weighty and premium (although it was hard to hold the device properly - it was smothered with security tagging)

I installed Antutu Benchmarks and started to take a video of it, until a store assistant came over and started a conversation with me... "Can I help you?".

He then proceeded to ask me what handset I had, when he saw it was a One M7 he then told me that the M8 wasn't worth the upgrade (to my dismay, is this his sales technique? Abysmal).

He then told me that the M8 had a 16mp camera, at which point I laughed and said that it didn't - he doggedly tried to reassure me that it did, while I assured him that it didn't.

He did say that one good thing about the handset over my M7 was the fact that it was running Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which my M7 couldn't run, I then showed him my M7 running KitKat - he asked me how and I said I'd rooted it and had installed a Custom ROM, to which his reply was "a what?".

Oh and I also spoke to him about my dislike of the onscreen buttons and the bezel, again to which he replied "what?", so I had to point out to him the difference between my HTC M7 capacitive buttons in the bezel, to the M8 onscreen buttons with added bezel.

He then got what I meant when I told him that it then made the 5" screen 4.7" effective...

I love the staff in the Carphone Warehouse!
[One (M8) General] animaleyes76:
I would have just said "Yes, it does" and showed him. Wtf does rooting/custom roms have to do with having 4.4.2??
[One (M8) General] The-Last-Hylian:
No as the update is being released for the M7, I just happened to be rooted and have 4.4.2 installed long before the update was available for my handset.

Anyway, that's off topic, my point is that this salesman was cr@p and didn't know anything about the beautiful HTC One M8 that he was selling.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
i wud of reported him thats cramping htc sales

[One (M8) General] BenPope:
I think you might complain about the poor signal strength and how you can't hold it without pressing the screen.
[One (M8) General] Adamsville MITM:
I can see the unwanted screen presses, but why would that have poor signal strength?
[One (M8) General] vfreeze_31:
Dual Sim model

Exactly what I am looking for.

I have waited a little while before making my decision on what to buy to see if there will be a new HTC One (M8) version and it looks like there should be.

Would anything beat the HTC One (M8) as a dual sim phone except for maybe a potentially new HTC One Max (M8) dual sim phone.
[One (M8) General] myself11:

[One (M8) General] hamdir:
regardless if i have it or not, i have been following and posting about the M8 since last quarter

we just moved it to a new location that's all:

HTC Flagships - Mega Tech Discussion Thread [ focus: HTC One 2014 | M8 ]

we can't keep making a new mega thread every time a new HTC super phone arrives, plus mods frown upon going out of topic in device sections even if discussing other HTC devices like the Max or Mini

so i figured we have a discussion thread in the general area and we change focus with time of new products, we also can side step to other non HTC devices as well

so followers of my previous mega threads, please join our new place :)

I don't have access to a device running CM any more but I was curious if the CM launcher Trebuchet supports home screen looping in the later releases? I haven't found any information about this (though it seems like a straight enough question) with trying google, xda and cm's site.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankitgokani:
Hey All,

I have nexus 4.. I was on stock rom 4.4.2 and suddenly three days back my phone started to be weird.. I see randomn touches on my phone. ( i have enable option show touches in devloper options..)

I was using art runtime..

So when i press the power button and lock the phone twice then i unlock it runs normally..

But these started to occur very frequently..

When it happens it freezes my phone or you can say touchscreen doesnt work sometimes it just freezes..

So i decided to Factory rest my phone i thought it was some apps having bug..

But it was still happening..

So I finally installed Cm11 with the installer.. I still have the issue...

Any Solutions?

It first showed when i was charging my phone but later it happened when i was not even charging ..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bad_HABIT:
This has happened to me before. Call Google to begin an RMA and replace your phone if you're still under warranty

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatRocker666:
HI,

So, grabbed my TF300T one day and it would turn on, "no prob" its just out of charge, so charged it (led on the power button went green) went to turn it on and nothing! tried soft and hard resets and still nothing!

Does anyone have any ideas or is it just dead? its stock, just unlocked (form ASUS tool).

Cheers.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Try using the reset hole on the left side of your tablet. Hold that down for varying lengths of time.

Does the light still turn on when you plug it in?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatRocker666:
I have tried the reset button but with no results.

Yes, when plugged into the mains i get the orange and then green led.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larscn:
It could also be the power button shiftet out of place. Remove micro sd card and remove the back cover. Ask someone for help if you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself. Be careful with the hdmi and audio connectors. A pry tool is useful but not required.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatRocker666:
Done that too. I had a new motherboard from the last RMA. I think I will just have to face facts that it is now dead :o
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larscn:
Last suggestions. Service switch is off. (But that kind of don't happen by itself).

Have you checked if it possible to put it in apx mode? Have you done the nvflash/wheelie/flatline backup?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xTremePower:
I have thé same problem when I changed the glass of the s3 of my gf...

The only way to remove this, is to remove what you changed, and buy a special screen glue (don't remember the name) and put it between the 2 layers to fill the empty space
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrobo:
But I have changed the lcd with digitizer sticked together from factory (I hope because bought on ebay). I have not changed it separately. Could it be that it comes from factory so defective? Is there no checking of functionality when it goes out from factory?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axlastro:
I'd return it, if it were possible or at least contact the seller and maybe open a case on Ebay?

How much did it cost you btw?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrobo:
cost about 110$
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axlastro:
That's quite cheap. Return it or get it to a repair shop for their opinion. It sounds like the backlight might be uneven. I'd return it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrobo:
yes I would do so, but the costs of postage from my country is half price of the lcd, and even waiting again for another lcd without working phone is pain for me
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer2k8:
Did anyone noticed that in the TA partition it is stored every firmware flash that the device took?

For example in my TA backup took when i rooted the .534 to flash the rooted 4.4 i have:

This means that if i unlock the device and then restore ta for warranty purposes sony will see all history of flashed software along the phone's life, in this case that i flashed another region's firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
oops! ...this is unpleasant...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, but flashing FTFs should not void your warrenty because you can do it without rooting.

Also, if you backed up your TA as soon as you got the phone it wont have any history in it.

Please can the OP show the path to where he found this info so we can all check our backups
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer2k8:
this is not true, as you cannot backup the ta partition without root :)

so even if you backit up right after root it will still show up some history.

my thoughts are, how much this ta partition has? if let's say flash 100 ftf's will all be recorded?

As for the ftf flashing the warranty clearly states that if you manually temper with the phone's firmware aka flashing other region firmware,etc, the warranty becomes void....even if this is not true, this is kind of important for me, because I thought that this partition is for drm keys only, but this makes me thinking that it is also the partition that is first checked by SONY's staff.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer2k8:
i found it in the TA.img in the ta backup, openend with a plain text editor READ-ONLY (DO NOT WRITE/MODIFY IT!!!!) .

For me was at the end of the TA.IMG (ta partition backup)

I also think that this TA partition also holds the latest boot status, so if your phone hard-bricks, sony knows exactly what went wrong and why so they can simply void your warranty.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N10AP:
OK... Bringing up an old thread but any way we can delete this history?

Can you just not modify the text file?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
The file .txt is in TA.img and if you will extract and recompile the .img, or modified, your TA.img will be corrupted and if you will flash it, you will Brick your phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N10AP:
I have checked mine - taken from an Ultra just before bootloader unlocking. It seems if you don`t reboot your phone after the rooting process and THEN backup your TA partition, the rooting status remains 0.

Upon rebooting your phone the rooting status changes. So if looking at your TA backup in a text editor or hex editor (just search the string "root") it says anything other than that I guess you are screwed.

EDIT:

If checking TA with XVI32 - search "Root" with case sensitive unticked. You will find ROOT STATUS IS NOT DONE [230] or ROOT STATUS IS DONE [250]

Guess this confirms it...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33PO:
Hey guys,

Coming from Nexus 4, I'm fairly new to the G2 forums. Last week I rooted my D802 and flashed the OptimusRS Kitkat rom (V3.5) and played around with some tweaks to change its framework. I installed Xposed (2.5 beta) and a few modules (Gravity Box, G2 Tweakbox) to hide the navbar and some other cosmetical stuff. I noticed this beta release of Xposed was still a little buggy here and there, so I removed it manually (through the app itself and rebooted...

...and then I got the infinite boot loop.

Since I removed Xposed manually, my G2 is stuck at the LG logo, I can't get into recovery, I tried a hard reset (by pushing the power button three times in the white screen), but after that, the screen remains blackish (there is some light though, so the phone is 'on').

I tried several guides to restore the stock firmware, but my Windows XP laptop won't recognize my device. The LG R&D software says my phone is disconnected, so restoring gets stuck at 15%. When I try to put my phone in download mode, I only see the little blue sign 'download mode', but no other options.

I'm absolutely out of options. I'm quite experienced with flashing roms, but never got myself in so much trouble before. I almost threw my G2 (which I really, really love) out of the window because of this.

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
It's been one year. I love this phone.. best ever and now with recent updates and development, even better. But one year is a long time. A year ago this was the latest and greatest.. now I'd like to see a better screen, faster processor, definitely a MUCH better camera & 4K Video.. at least. Sony is starting to fall behind on camera matters and that makes no sense.. Sony makes some of the best cameras and sensors in the world.. but the iPhone camera overall is better and cleaner, Nokia is totally kicking butt, HTC is making some cool new things and Samsung's new sensor technologies starting with the S5 and future phones is serious stuff. The Z Ultra camera is at best OK from 3 years ago standards and the Z1's was a disappointment while the Z2's is yet to be taken for a good ride but seems just a tweaked firmware version of the same hardware.. I don't hear any rumours of a possible successor for the Z Ultra. I wonder when and what Sony will come out with to better this phone just as they've done with the Z2. The Z2 is definitely not revolutionary, just incremental. But that's enough.. improving a great product is a great way to go.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] helix23:
Maybe the Z Ultra wasn't sold as often as expected as this phone isn't for everyone. Sony maybe considers the Z Ultra as some kind of failed experiment...:(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
In fact, I think 100% the same like you. I think not many people buy the Ultra.. such a shame. Is such a wwonderfulphone.. it deserves a follow-up:cowboy:..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Thiolo:
nah i dont think it needs a follow up successor phablet *NOT JUST YET., we all know that our 6.4 in screen is quite a lot but as far as XZU is running until now. Its over all performance on both technology and design it is still kicking some butt. as a user from the the 1st Xperia namely the x1., XZU is the far best beast of all xperia in term of its performance and built., for me XZU just need a little push to get along some software upgrade to make the consumer wonder why XZU is worth buying for.,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
Performance never enough. I am waiting for an overclocking kernel that can push the CPU to past 2.5GHz.. easily done.. all Snapdragons have plenty of headroom for overclockin.. in fact tthe new 801 CPU is the same with high speed.. same one with a better GPU.. I bet the 800 could go near 3.0GHz.. my wife has a Samsung Galaxy Mega (less than 1/2 the cost of the Ultra Z) that has a Snapdragon 400 or S4 (..whatever people wanna call it) and it's base speed is 1.7GHz running at 2.3GHz stable with a custom kernel under Android 4.2.2.. totally kicks butt.. also a great phone from Samsung that maybe they will not update..
