I put mine HTC M8 into bowl with water completely for about a minute. Only thing I realized headphone icon showed up in notification bar. Also when I pulled out sd card was wet on edges . But SIM card was completely dry. Phone worked and played video under water about 2 inches down. After was taken out I just wiped it with paper towel and works perfectly..... DONT TRY IT! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bentsh:
Mine is dead at the moment

My M8 go just a little wet, about as much as it would in the rain, and now the screen is not functioning. The screen won't turn on, but it appears that everything else is working. DEFINITLEY NOT WATERPROOF, OR EVEN RESISTANT!!!! As you may expect, I am very disappointed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] slimbrady:
Did you try hard resetting the phone by holding down the power button + volume up key for 15 secs? Could be just a software issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cruckus:
Don't get this phone wet I got pulled into a pool over memorial day weekend and my phone was hosed. I had to do an insurance claim. My SIM card got fried and the phone will not turn on vibrate or anything after the device was turned off and in rice for two days. Just saying.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] st1ngr4y:
This phone not water resistant in the least. Had my phone in a plastic bag while kayaking and the bag leaked a very minuscule amount. Needless to say the phone did not survive. The screen was extremely distorted and washed out looking. Also the touch screen was very flaky. Take extreme caution while around water or any other liquids. I left my phone in silica gel pellets for a week. I assume by then the damage was already done though.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] slimbrady:
With these 2 accounts VS the video and the other tests it would appear the phone is capable when the water is not accompanied by heavy pressure...dunking it in a bowl of water or sink of water is very little pressure on the seams etc where as getting plunged into a pool or kayaking both probably forced the water inside via pressure.

Completely understand why HTC does not claim the M8 is water resistant. =)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] st1ngr4y:
Keep in mind I said very little water entered the plastic bag my phone was in. Which should have helped to off set or even negate the for of water seeping into the phone.

Are you sure the bowl wasn't filled with say alcohol rather than water?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] slimbrady:
I understand the amount was small but if a little pocket of water was sitting by one of the ports and then you were jostled by a rapid (or wave, whatever kind of kayaking you're doing^^) I could see that movement generating enough pressure on the bag (was all the air removed from it, i.e. vacuum sealed or ghetto vacuum sealed?) to push some water into the case, albeit a small amount.

For the sink test there's no way that's alcohol...we would see it clearly dropping in volume as it evaporates much, much faster than water does...and I think the guy that did his own test would know whether he was using a bowl full of water or a bowl full of Isopropyl - I would hope so anyway! =)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] st1ngr4y:
Watching alcohol evaporate would probably be like watching grass grow lol. The boiling point for isopropyl alcohol is only ~18℃ less than water. ;)

But let's just say I'm clearly a skeptic and until HTC backs up said claims, I will be avoiding water with my phone like the plague.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
If this device was actually water proof or even water resistant, wouldnt it be advertised as being so. Or possibly listed in the device specs, which its not on either account. Just kinda a common sense call here.....0_o,,,,
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
I tend to agree. Samsung touts the S5 as being water-resistant and advertises that feature in their commercials, etc. I would hope that HTC would do the same, but they haven't, so I'm skeptical, too. I wouldn't want to find out, at least not intentionally:eek:

Sent from my HTC device
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] slimbrady:
ya well the sink test was at least 5+ hours time lapse i think? It wouldn't be too hard to notice.

I use 99% isopropyl all the time when changing heat sinks on a PC or any other cleaning related job having to do with electronics because it dries so fast....pretty much as soon as you've spread it out it's 2-3 seconds from disappearing. I've had a bowl next to me (while masked) and had it drop noticeably without me ever getting around to using it in the hour or two I was working...of course it was a small bowl but still...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ahecht:
The video was clearly a doctored time lapse -- the phone kept moving in circles.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bradh024:
Hell, even if it is claimed waterproof doesn't really mean it is. Before the m8 I had the s4 with a lifeproof case and it was about as waterproof as my otterbox is right now, and I thought it would be nice to take my casio rock swimming last year, that was really a bad idea because that leaked also... Bottom line is unless I have $225 laying around for a replacement and another soff, none of my devices are going near water.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
Definately +1, I dont even take mine in the bathroom with me lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jerry4050:
Mine semi beer proof

I came from a club and place my phone half submerge in beer in a cup inside the cup of the cupholder of my car biaccident and was in panic mode. It was also in 1% battery I let it dry and put to charge the next day and the speakers are okay but I did notice it sound a bit crackling in some notification and music a bit so Im not sure if I want return mine back for a new one. I wish the next HTC Phone is as water resistance as the Sony Xperia Z2. I seen YouTube videos of the Sony Xperia dunked in Beer and survived perfectly.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ticklemepinks:
idk, a couple of weeks ago my fone fell into abath tub full of water, i drove after it and it has been fine
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Kraizk:
The M* is not water proof or even certified water resistant. If anything the phone is designed so that if you have to briefly use it in the rain it wont break. It's great people have had luck not breaking their phones but this is not something you should ever rely on. Hell the GS5 (or 4? Whichever is current) isn't even water proof. its IP rating is based on water running over the phone at a specified pressure. Yes like a rainstorm. Please stop assuming phones are water proof.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drasticza:
Maybe I got lucky

I had the dreaded drop of the phone in the toilet. Fortunately the toilet was clean.

It was only there for a couple seconds but I towel dried and couldn't even tell anything happen.

I did quickly turn off the phone and let it sit overnight to let it dry internally just in case.

Works like new.

I did have s simple slim case.

The case is tiny and doesn't offer much protection but it covers the sd card slot. Based on what I read maybe that helped.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jonathanlc2005:
its rain resistant. thats all. its IPx3.

wikipedia states

the volume of a raindrop is 0.034 cm^3 to 1cm^3

its velocity is 9.8m/s^2

and the pressure of the raindrop (not including air pressure) is its mass/volume

so nothing to worry about. just make sure to dry it behind a window and let the sun evaporate it so it doesnt damage the speakers or ports.

**i am not responsible to any broken devices, i just put in my meteorological knowledge.**

http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-one-m8-waterproof-361910/

when it rains in S.FL then ill test it out and record it. if it breaks then AMEX has my back since i purchased this 2 weeks ago

i would advise though... dont be as confident in heavy blowing winds like superstorms and hurricanes

Yeah, it doesn't work. It's just like Blocking Mode when the S3 was originally released. You could find it and turn it on in a similar way, but it didn't actually do anything when turned on (even though the icon was displayed in the task bar just like it is for this).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joderme:
Yup the GN2 was the same way. It required extensive code to get it working right due to the integration with TouchWiz. I am hoping this might be quite a bit simpler.

I am going to compare the t-mobile code and the vzw code to see the differences.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -=zipp=-:
Hello,

I have this really annoying problem with my phone: After power buton is pressed and phone wakes up, very often (not allways, but I was unable to track conditions) first touch on display - no matter where - controls the status bar (pull down or brightness adjust). So if I want to unlock my phone, I have to do swipe on lockscreen two, sometimes three (because of the delay) times before phone actually unlocks.

I tried to disable HALO, entire exposed framework, lockscreen notifications (built-in in my rom) -> none of this worked. It does this even when lockscreen is disabled.

I don't use doubletap2wake or swipe2wake

Nexus 4:

6.2 Nexus5Experience ROM with stock kernel, without LTE, no oc (link)

Has anyone experienced similar behaviour? I don't know where else should I look.

Thanks in advance

P.S.: I would have asked in rom thread directly, but I don't have permision to post there.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Brushborder:
Let me get this straight... If I buy a phone off EBay that is not stolen, as the new owner I cannot request an unlock code from ATT unless I sign up with them for at least 6 months??!! That is what I was told today anyhow. Of course I was told something completely different by them before I purchased the phone. They suggested calling the seller and asking them to request the unlock code (with their account number, phone number, etc). But this is not possible since the company selling boughts from somene else.

So,I searched all over here and have not found a clear answer on how or if you can unlock the phone using ther methods.

I have tried the following:

*#27663368378# method, does not allow

*#0011# method, does not go to UMTS menu

*#197328640#* method, does go to UMTS menu, but Phone Control Option is not there.

Is it possible to unlock the phone? It is my phone now. I could return it, but that seems silly.

How do or can sites offering paid unlock codes get theirs? There has to be a way. RIGHT???

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] The Jack of Clubs:
if the device was purchased under contract, att wont give an unlock for 2 years, or until the phone is paid off. if the phone wasnt purchased off contract, att should be able to give you an unlock code. by law, they dont ever have to give you anything though, so they might give you different answers on the phone depending on who you talk to. you can send in a request for an unlock code and get an email back at https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/termsAndCondition but it sure does want a lot of personal information. after that, you should be able to type in #7465625*638# and enter the unlock code, but i havent tested that on my s4 yet.

I'v been searching and reading FAQ's, but can't find an explanation on what AKU stands for and what's special about 2.3 everyone seems to want to have it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
It's basically the same idea as SP2 for XP (after you've upgraded from WM2003SE [WinME] to WM5 [XP]), it's like a service pack, and this new one includes things like MSFP which enables Push Email and is overall a smoother base ROM for us to start with... the newer HTC models like the Universal and Wizard and(O2 Atom?) have versions available for download but we lowly BA owners won't get an offical one hence all the ruckus about the one we've got available...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdaradar:
thanks, that's a clear answer. I'm now running tuma's 1.3, waiting for 1.5 after his peanut is born.

any suggestions if i should try another aku2.3 rom inbetween?

i'm an active business user with wifi, bt, gps, 5 emailboxes, including exchange with certificates, using mms and a lot of sms and phone and IE.

and navigating with tomtom, ozi and igo.

and listening to internet radio, sometimes looking at the news and sportevents via streaming video.

and the little one likes my qtec9090 as a dvd-player in the car, while tomtom is telling me how to drive in the background.

and offcource using word, excel and pdf to read mail attachment.

and all the special data safely stored away in ewallet.

so it's my mobile office :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
I too use mine extensively (and as I'm in the IT business I need to reflash at night after playing with all the new ROM's to make sure it's working for the next day :D ) and have been using Ivan's 4.3 Rom with the RAMDisk provided by thingonaspring... it has been very stable and very fast (for WM5), I'm now using helmi's 32MB Ramdisk AKU 2.3 ROM and it seems equally as stable and also as fast...

One caveat with the AKU 2.3 ROMs is that we are still in the 'beta' stage even though they are stable.. and with that in mind there's no guarantee...

Having said that, the WiFi, BT and messaging all work so you should have no problems there, and if your work uses Exchange 2003 SP2 then you can have your email from work 'pushed' to your BA! (At least one tester is already using this and has it working...)

I use it with 4 email accounts, bt headset (unfortunately just handsfree, not wireless stereo atm), gps (TomTom, GPStoGoogleEarth,SmartMap & Navigator II), tcpmp and all the office apps... PocketMSN isn't working yet, but I don't use hotmail for much other than spam anyway... mms works, as does sms and phone... I also use ewallet etc, so our needs are very similar...

In the end, the choice is yours ;)

There is no recovery mode as standard, just Flashmode (no notification light) or Fastboot Mode (Blue notification mode) both require a PC connection to install ROMs.
