[AT&T HTC One (M8)] prk07:
With no Glacial Silver in At&t for HTC One M8, HTC lost me.

I was about to switch from Verizon to AT&T (for better service). Eagerly awaited HTC One M8 glacial silver for 2 weeks. After many rounds of calls with HTC sales and Best Buy sales reps, I finally give up. Switching to Galaxy S5 for now, at least they are not dictating what color I should like. Picking one today. Poor marketing by HTC one I believe. I feel bad for the company coming up with a good product but managing to alienate potential customers in their own ways.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
Well I ported my final line over using a borrowed iphone and the ATT rep was saying he thinks they'll get it in May sometime. These reports are all over the place from I don't know if we are getting it at all to 6 months from now we'll get it to 4/25. I just wish there was an official date even if it was in May, at least I'd know and could plan accordingly.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Masterguy635:
I talked with both Best Buy and AT&T reps yesterday. They both said look online next week around Saturday/Sunday. I hope this helps!:highfive:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] prk07:
Is there any advantage or disadvantage in porting to AT&T and waiting for M8 Glacial Silver to show up? If BB gets it first, will they offer it for new line activations only?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
Wow I hope this is true. I was going to give it one more week or so (don't want to keep this iPhone for much longer ha) before I make the decision between a Galaxy S5 and the Gunmetal M8. The S5 has been getting a lot more praise than I expected so I want to see another week of reviews and more importantly, will it get root?

Honestly it's situation dependent. In my case it was my last day on my sprint bill and if I waited longer I'd have to pay full month or fight with sprint because they don't prorate the final bill. Unfortunately it looks like you get hit with an activation fee if you don't buy a new phone in the store with ATT so I will be complaining about that. Also I have no experience with Best Buy when it comes to phones, I was told by my local store that they only can do contract extension upgrades so that's a deal breaker for me since I want to use Next. If best buy has it though I can't image ATT would be far behind.

EDIT: I just called ATT about my line I just ported in not being eligible for an upgrade on Next until 9/13/14 since I should be eligible now. I got that sorted out sort of but while I had him I asked when the Silver M8 is coming and he dug around in his systems and said he found an official document through their systems giving the 4/25 date for the phone. I drilled him for a while on this and said that this was an official document in their systems but it was pretty well hidden and he had to search for a while for it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] prk07:
That is very good to hear. Thanks for the clarification about porting to AT&T prior to M8! I would do the same.

From what we have seen in the internet so far, the info you got from the ATT rep seems reliable. Hope that works out to be right. Thanks again!

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
I came over here to post this but I was beaten to it, by a while haha. Regardless I'm glad to see an official date so now I can plan. I can wait till the 25th no problem, I just couldn't wait and then have it end up not coming out for months.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Giuseppe1010:
Haha, beat you to it. :laugh: I guess the original rep I spoke to didn't pull that date out of her a$$. Just glad the bs will be over soon. Well, I guess Verizon will get their Red exclusive.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
So will it be on store shelves in ATT stores the 25th ? Or just available to order then ?

Would be cool if we could preorder it now ahead of time :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
This article with the direct tweet from HTC says in store on the 25th. So maybe online earlier than that even.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
I was in ATT store last Friday, and got the itch, and upgraded my S4 to the One M8 :D I rooted it and installed custom recovery, and then InsertCoin ROM.

But I never activated the SIM card yet, still deciding if I want the Glacial Silver ? Just been playing with the phone at home, on Airplane mode with WiFi only. Funny thing is, I installed the ROM last Friday on a full charge, today is Tuesday, and the phone still has 25% battery left. And I play with it at least an hour or two per day since Friday, and more over the weekend. Battery life is off the charts good it seems. But then again it's on Airplane mode, but still, I am sure I have like 5h or 6h On Screen time or so, and 25% battery left.

I like the Gray it looks more stealth, but also loved the look of the silver when I went window shopping at Verizon just to see the M8 up close a few weeks ago.

Not sure what to do, for the color ? But the Gray goes better with cases, seems hard to find a good case that matches well with the Silver ?

My point, the sales rep at ATT said they are getting the Silver end of this week.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
I just called ATT, now they saying Silver not due till Summer, and gold in the Fall. Hmm...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
The president of HTC USA said with certainty that it is planned for a 4/25 in store release on ATT so I'm going to go with that instead of some rep. I personally have been told by a store rep it is coming summer sometime and a phone rep that it was coming 4/25. So I would go with the HTC president and rep who both gave the 25th with confidence and not some store rep who thinks it's coming this summer sometime.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
Does anyone plan to return their Gunmetal Grey for the Silver ? Or haven't bought a One yet waiting for Silver ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hottamales:
I'm crossing my fingers and hoping glacial silver actually shows up in stores tomorrow. Yesterday the store rep didn't even know silver was an option and couldn't find the SKU in their system or order log. I can forget all about the lack of communication if I'm able to walk out of the store as the owner of a glacial silver M8 tomorrow. Good luck!

:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
I'm excited and nervous. It is very annoying that the store reps are completely clueless but it's completely possible it seems like that it can just show up in a shipment tomorrow. The Gray M8 launch showed me the extreme lack of communication of what is happening even a day in advance. They didn't think they were getting shipments until the 11th of april for the Gray but then they got them on the 4th and didn't know they were allowed to sell them and so on. It isn't a good or bad sign it appears that they don't know anything about them but I can't help but be afraid that it won't show up tomorrow. The only reason why I am excited is because HTC themselves said Silver is coming to stores on 4/25 and ATT seems to consistently have no idea what's going on so them not knowing anything is just par for the course.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hottamales:
I agree that it's annoying and not surprising that the reps are clueless. The fact one of the top HTC execs publicly announced the date seems like it would be a guarantee that the phones will be available, but I have to be a little skeptical since he appears to be the only one with specific information.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bjccrew:
Talked to a att rep today and they confirmed the silver will be out tomorrow. I have had every galaxy s phone and can't wait to get my hands on the m8 .
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Masterguy635:
Finally

I have been waiting so long for this XD
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] anandlal:
So I ordered the M8 online and selected the gunmetal because the silver was not available. When FedEx delivered today and I opened the box... I saw that they shipped me the 64gb M7..... Well the AT&T reps were more than happy to help me and even offered the silver and to overnight the M8... So I guess I'll have a silver version tomorrow....
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
It's official guys!

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] snobrdr2324:
Went in this morning and picked it up no problem, definitely worth the wait over the gray.

Sorry I don't know why this is so big haha.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hottamales:
Congrats! Glad the wait paid off. It definitely looks very nice. I have one reserved at a store to pickup this afternoon and I'm excited to finally get it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Zorachus:
Any pics or reviews ? Who traded thier Gunmetal for the Silver ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Allen`:
I already have the Gold HTC M8, BestBuy even has it for sale.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
I would like to completely skip the lock screen that has the shortcuts, etc that pops up soon as I hit the power button. I'm not talking about the lock screen with my password.

I've hunted and haven't found anything yet. That lock screen is not helpful to me. Maybe will have to wait on custom roms.

Thanks for any help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
Never mind ... Had to fix my typos.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Settings>Security. Put a check in the box next to "Bypass lock screen on wake".
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
Thanks so much. I've hunted and had tons of htc phones. How did I miss that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Well, hopefully it does what you want. I played with it a bit here and it does work if the time you set to lock the phone has been reached. Just takes you directly to your pattern or pin lock. However, if that time hasn't passed, you still see the lock screen when you wake the phone up. At least that's how it works on mine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
Same here. Also, I still get the lock icon for two seconds then it auto skips to the lock pattern. Oh well. You're post was a big help though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
Just noticed what you're talking about. That initial lock screen pops up if it hasn't been 10 minutes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
That's odd. When I turn mine on it goes directly to pattern lock. I never see the first screen. Perhaps pattern lock and pin lock act differently. Don't know why they would though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
Yeah ... Love the phone but little things like this make it a pain at times. I like to hit the power button most of the time and go straight to my screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Yeah, I know what you mean. I use Tasker in combination with Secure Settings to do this. Wifi gets turned on automatically whenever it connects to the tower outside of town here. Then when I get home, it automatically connects to wifi (only if it's my wifi). When that happens, it turns off pattern lock. When I leave and the wifi disconnects, it turns pattern lock back on again. It's a little buggy on this phone though. Hit and miss it seems. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the way our root works so I'm waiting on s-off before I start trouble shooting it. It worked great on my Razr Maxx. Never missed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cryptyk:
Why push the power button? Just swipe up on the screen to unlock the phone and go directly to these home screen...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
I hear ya. Yeah it gets a little old sweeping that much screen up 30 times a day just to get to my home screen. Going s off and custom ROM will help, as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
That still takes me to that initial lock screen with the shortcuts.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] msricks:
I take that back. Press power button and it goes to lock screen. Swipe up and straight to home screen. Screwy but it works ... Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ch0use:
I do not have this option in Security... why?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Do you have pattern lock or a pin lock set up? The option doesn't become available until you set up one of the various types of locks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ch0use:
That makes sense - have pin lock, so nevermind.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drigout:
I just tried a bunch of benchmarks and it looks like the One m8 is blocking anything above 60fps.

I did RD3D benchmark and maxed at 59 constantly with a final score of 4k like a lot of people but other users got a score of 7k so either they blocked in the software and people modified the app or the phone is stuck at 60 few.

This reminds me of the original Evo stuck at 30fps.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Funny you mention this.

I did this for schlits and giggles and couldn't believe it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drigout:
That is mostly CPU, Memory, and IO

Look at the 3d and 2d results they are the same as the older phones. And look at the fps during the test it will be 59 for everything except for the DNA strand at 40
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julle131:
Hello Desire Z community.

I have met following issues with a Desire Z, and with a little bit of searching it appears that the ribbon might be broken inside the phone (The pictures are enormous):

However, after opening the phone and taking a look at the ribbon, it *seems* to be fine. There is no clear tearing in the ribbon, and it seems like it is OK overall. Can someone of you confirm whether this issue is caused by the ribbon, or by some other variable (screen, bad connectors maybe)?

The screen is distorted, and opening the keyboard "changes" the distortion. Also touching the ribbon while keeping the keyboard half-opened modifies the distortion.

This is my dad's phone, and he rather uses the phone in this condition than his Galaxy S4 :highfive:

Video of the issue:

(Yes, I recorded it without too much effort, don't hate me :P)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I finally decided that I was missing out by not having Tasker automate my life for me, so bought it as well as the full version of Secure Settings.

I've managed a couple of simple Profiles, but I'm having trouble with other stuff I want to do - most likely because I just don't understand.

A. Aim: When Maps is launched, turn on "WiFi" and "Location Mode High Accuracy"

Profile: Near Work

State: Cell Near (work)

Tasks: (1) WiFi On (2) Secure Settings, Location Mode/High Accuracy

This almost works - opening Maps carries out the expected tasks, and when I exit maps WiFi turns off (desired behaviour). However, Location does not switch off again, it stays on switched on, and I don't understand why.

I'd like Location to switch off again when I exit Maps.

B. Aim: Switch on WiFi and Location Mode/Battery Saving and Location Reporting and Location History once an hour, for one minute, and allow (force?) Google to poll my location for a short period so that if I ever lose my phone and it is switched off, there will be a trail of sorts (without having to leave all these services switched on all the time,which canes my battery).

Profile: Manage Location Services

State: Time - I don't know how I can make the profile active for one minute, every hour

Tasks: (1) WiFi On

Then I get lost - I can't see how to enable Location Reporting which is in Location Services in my phone settings. Also I don't know if doing that would immediately prompt the phone to contact Google and report its location (I assume it would).

C: Aim: Between 10pm-9am, if at home, then silence phone and switch off notification light

State: Cell near (home)

This is as far as I've got. I don't understand how to use time as a defining factor. Nor do I know how to switch off the notification light.

If anyone could help then I'd be very grateful!

Also, after reading a lot of Tasker walkthroughs/userguides (and not understanding a lot of them) I am none the wiser as to how to set up an 'exit task'?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarongillion63:
There are a lot of issues regarding Secure Settings, I don't recommend it. The only way to turn on/off gps (and the way I'd do it personally) is use root shell to navigate through the settings or better yet set Status Bar-Open and using a Shell-"input tap x y" Use Root: Yes to tap on the GPS quick setting widget.

To add an exit task simply long press on the action part of your profile (on the main screen) and the options will appear. You can also add additional State, Time or Action matchings to your one profile, by long-pressing on the left part!

<<< Please say thanks if I was of help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda_guy:
Hello

I had a few questiosn regarding the rom version, radio version, protocol version and extROM version

does the Radio version contain the UMTS & GPRS radio acccess stuff which would mean that it contains the umts/gprs protocols, in that case what does the protocol version contain.

i guess the rom version contains the updated version of windows mobile 5.0 with new bells and whistles thrown in , or the last windows os improved?

wha tis the extROM version?

os there any way to update the bluetooth & wifi functionality, would that be a part of the ROM version?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
utms and even edge is a 100% different frequience thing

so a device cant with software be changed to support it more

then it can be changed to recieve tv or hdtv or alien radio broadcast

wm2005 for devices which was not made for wm2005 are leaked beta versions which will never be released because wm2005 devices use flash to save data not ram like wm2003 devices

the flash they have is slower

and the roms are not optimised

bluetooth is a part of the rom but ppl can use other bluetooth stacks if they start out with ms bluetooth stack they can change it to broadcoms

wifi is a mix of wifi drivers which depend of if wifi was a part of the device or a addon sdio card

plus the wifi access software which you yourself can upgrade
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xda_guy:
thanks for the reply

what does upgrading the radio version do?

and upgrading the protocol version do?

do the two upgrade the gsm functionality??

i have got the XDA Exec, does it use WM2005 or WM2003, i guess the windows CE 2003 is ce4.0 based and the windows mobile 2005 is ce5.0 based, correct?
[Networking] cssekhar:
Yes. just in my phone and to only one sim card. When I put the sim in my friend's mobile the speed is normal.

possible reasons: Before some day I went to my village and the network reception there is very bad. I couldn't open any pages(pretty slow) .Now I am back to my previous place but the speed is same. I dont have 3G network here.

I have GT-S7562 rooted(dual sim). the problem is only with one sim card and only on my handset. I tried with new GPRS settings, rebooting, flight mode,network searching, interchanging simcards... not of any help. Its been 15 days since.

So what could have gone wrong? help
[Networking] Dmma:
do u have a data limit?
[Networking] nergar:
What do you mean only one sim card? If you put another simcard (ex a friend's sim) does the phone work correctly?

If thats true then you should try getting a new sim card from your provider.
[Networking] InfamusOne:
Keep in mind that your data speed has many limiting factors. (Ex. Service strength/ the cell phones actual capability /geographical location or region) but depending on your service provider, it's realitivaly cheap for a new SIM card in many cases. Last time I needed a new one it was $15...
[Networking] |>/\nte:
Did you try another sim in YOUR (not a friend of yours) phone? It might be the phone's fault.
[Networking] cssekhar:
thank u all. As I said the problem seems only with that only sim.. other sim cards are working fine on my phone. Anyway I dumped that sim & got a new one.. All works good now. Don't know what was the problem with that SIM card. even Tech staffs couldn't solve it.
[Networking] cssekhar:
sry for late reply. I think u r thnking about data capping.. mine is limited and on same speed till end of data pack.

[General Questions and Answers] kmandel:
While this is about two specific devices, I'm wondering if tis an issue of phone vs tablet in general:

I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2012) both running the same version of KitKat.

On the Nexus 4 there are a few Apps that die if I switch away for anything (home screen, back, email, etc).

The same Apps on the Nexus 7 stay alive and keep running in the background and let me return to them. If they are streaming audio, the audio continues (on the the Nexus 4 the audio dies immediately).

Is there any way for me to fix this on the Nexus 4?
[General Questions and Answers] B1nny:
Do you happen to have set the option "Background process limit" to "No background processes" by any chance?
[General Questions and Answers] kmandel:
No, its set to "standard limit".
[General Questions and Answers] B1nny:
Okay.

Well you could try to re-install the applications that are behaving weird. From then on it depends on how much time you want to sink into it, you could try to get a logcat from the moment when you press the home button to see what is exactly happening. If you don't feel like that, backup your important data and give the device a factory reset to see if that fixes your problem.

[One (M8) Accessories] Bumpredd:
The fit is perfect, as with all of Spigen's products. The shape follows the curves of the phone well. There is an edge around the side that feels great in the hand. The front has a slight lip that keeps the screen safe when placed face down. The look is optically clear and flawless, it really shows off the aluminum. The feel is smooth and "sticky". This case won't be slipping out of your hand anytime soon. Pair this with a Spigen screen protector (I did) and your investment is safe.
