I had a clear TPU but while minimal, it provided very little protection. I went back to the UAG. Great protection without a major additional bulk of the Otterbox defender.

Why do people keep saying camera is bad?!! I took 2 photos, one with note3, and one with m8. U tell me which one looks better.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zounduser:
And from the note 3.....

Hmmm...they both look fuzzy to me? Didn't look like that before I uploaded Them here.

Anyways, the point is, it's a good camera. It's one of my favorite features of this phone! I compared to note 3, and honestly unless your cropping them, they look about the same.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zounduser:
Here's another comparison. To S4, and we all know what mp count it has......... https://plus.google.com/102083211852766753327/posts/fd4KixKFA7N

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jspradling7:
Mine has that bump. I thought I had maybe caused it while plugging in a usb cable. It's easy to feel if I run my finger across the bottom speaker. I found it because I noticed that my glass isn't flush with the metal top and bottom and I was running finger around the edges to see how bad it is. I'm s-off and rooted so I'll keep the phone and it doesn't bother me, but the build quality isn't stellar on all the phones that's for sure but what model is?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Yup. I suspect I made the bump worse by pressing down on the metal bottom trying to fix it. DO NOT do this. It'll make it VISUALLY noticeable and if you're like me it'll drive you nuts.

It's interesting you mention it possibly being caused by a USB connection, I was using a somewhat faulty cord earlier that day...

Either way, that one had a loose/sunken volume rocker and replacement #2 does not. Seems like third is indeed a charm.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
I ended up getting this case from Amazon, along with the Spigen Slim Armor, and just received my Slim Armor today. It feels great and looks quite badass, but I do wish it was a tad bit slimmer. I rarely drop my phone, and when I do, it is never higher then 6 feet (which to my understanding the M8 can survive WITHOUT a case), so I could never justify "bricking" my phone with an Otterbox nor that ridiculous UAG case (no offense to owners of either, they are just not my cup of tea).

EDIT: The soft touch material on my Slim Armor is one hell of a finger print magnet, especially the polycarbonate backing. Be warned...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Lol I went with the slim armor case smooth black. Should ship out tomorrow. Can't wait til Tuesday

On another note, haha, i see you jumped ship from the S4 hyperdrive? Lol, i had to do it too..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Lol yea I jumped ship. This beauty was calling my name. I kinda still have the S4. My gf is using it now. Even my galaxy gear. I'll still be flashing HD when I get a chance. But Damn if this phone isn't the $hit
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fizeke136:
Haha, definitely. I'm thinking about selling my S4 just because i no longer have a need for it. But yea I'm super happy with this phone. I'm glad i didnt listen to a lot of the reviews and comments I read. When i went into the store, i was expecting a huge brick or something. Yea its tall, but i'ts no where as bad as i imaged from what i read. And the camera isnt bad either. Lol i actually like it better...seems like at times my s4 took a while to properly focus on something while trying to take a picture
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
A lot of the tech guys out there hate hard on the camera. I'm not a pic taking fb or instagram posting guy. I have a bad ass camera for pics so I'll use that. And the quality of the video taking is really good just wished ois was still there. Glad u didn't let the reviews sway u away from this amazing hardware
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fizeke136:
Yea...its eye opening on the importance of trying things out for yourself. Looking forward to seeing what more comes up for this phone in the future
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Got my slim armor in a day early. So here r some pics . The pics without the case is taking by my M8. The last 2 pics with the phone taking by an old dumb phone. Can find my camera atm. I'll try later to take more when I find my camera
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Ps just noticed the ir blaster is covered. I'll let that slide I don't really use mines like that anyways

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

But it feels good in the hand. Good grip as well. Totally protects ur phone from drops. Besides covering of the ir blaster I'm feeling this case. Time for a glass screen protector now
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fizeke136:
I've noticed a few people say it adds bulk to the phone? Whats your opinion on that? Is it that drastic from no case at all? I had that type of case for my S4 and I didn't think it made it that much bulkier than without a case.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nevermore:
I picked it up on launch day and the Verizon guy dropped it onto his keyboard. When he handed it to me, he said "watch out, it's slippery".

I hate it when other people open up and handle my new devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
It adds a little bulk but nothing noticeable to me. About the same bulk as my s4.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
hows the camera while using the flash? My clear Spigen case made photos bad when flas was active. also the ir blaster is too cool to ignore. I can completely control my 4 yr old Sharp 64in tv and the cable box too. and its fast with no delay unlike the samdung devices i once used... I am loving the htc man, this is the One.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
The camera is fine case isn't affecting the flash at all. Eh I really don't care about the ir blaster I never use it so I can deal with it.

Got mine 3 minutes ago, didn't even know it was 2 parts. As for the IR blaster I have a remote control so that's not a big deal. I have 2 gripes, and that's with the phone, there's no black (yet), and I hate the metal.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JelloB:
I honestly feel sorry for the guys (esp vzw and art) who went with the s5. That thing is locked the eff down. If you go to those boards you read some sad /bitter/desperate/in denial posters. It's kind of funny to read some of them talk about how they don't even really care if it gets unlocked anyway because the phone is so great as is. (I mean yeah...that's why we're on xda. Because we love stock roms and bloat so much).

I really do feel bad for them though, even if most would never admit it's bothering them. I hope somebody finds an exploit soon enough.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jpmcnown:
Amen to that. I may have to move to the M8 if only to get away from the seemingly clear, Apple like cult level of denial going on over there with the VZW S5. Glad to see some here are keeping it honest with the M8 with a slight disappointment, but not really a sacrifice on the camera. I'm going back to my MDK S4, while I pray level heads prevail. I've got no problem sitting back as seeing how things play out as people think delusional happy thoughts in hopes that they will manifest into root access.

One theory I've read is that Samsung wants their devices to be considered secure on the same level as RIM and iOS. This would help them compete in b2b sales, specifically to organizations which require ultimate device security (gov't contracts, gov't employees, etc).

I don't know if that's the reason for Samsung's progressively rigid stance in regards to modding their devices on certain networks, but it definitely would seem to make sense.

[LG Optimus G (International)] parag09:
Dear Sir,

I am Md. Mahbub Hossain from Dhaka, BANGLADESH.

On last 28th March, 2014, I was in China, I bought a LG-F180L (KOREAN) Mobile Phone. It was running well on Android 4.0.4.

While I was my Hotel, I log on to Hotel's WiFi and in my Phone I got Update (OS). After I Update "Scanning Media Files" running all the time. I can not access Camera, I can not Access any other programs as it says "you have no free space". It shows my Storage 0.00B. But when I go to "APPs", it shows 25GB Free. But except this, every where it says or shows that no free space. I can not use my Phone from that time.

I rebooted so many times, I Factory Rest so many times, I have done the Hard Rest so many times, but nothing happens. :(

Yesterday I changed the OS with Singapore .kdz (now my phone shows Model E975, in stead of F180L), but still the problem remains. Then I Upgrade by LG Tools and it returned me to "LG-F180L" with "Android Version : 4.1.2" , Baseband Version : APQ8064/MDM9x15M , Kernel Version : 3.4.0 , Build Number : JZO54K , Software Version : F180L20t . But still I m facing the same problem "Scanning Media Files", and no access to Camera, and so many other programs. As it still shows 0.0MB Storage, but in "Apps" it shows 25GB free. When I connect with PC, it shows the Internal Storage is 0.00KB. No access to internal storage.

Will you help me...... PLEASE......
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] soulbarn:
My 8125 is suddenly running out of batteries very fast. I suspect this is because of some activity running - if I turn the unit off, and leave it on my desk overnight, it is exhausted by morning (I, on the other hand, am exhausted by morning only if I am turned on. Sorry.)

I have checked for:

alarms and notifcations that are set to go off - there seem to be none

mail and other internet access items - there seem to be none

programs (like SPB Weather) updating themselves too frequently - there seem to be none

My energy settings are normal; sleep in one minute, backlight down, etc.

Is there anything I'm missing? Any suggestions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fprice02:
wifi, bluetooth. make sure they are turned off.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Triband81:
That's exactly, WiFi and BT even when active in standby really drain the battery quickly.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] soulbarn:
thanks so much, but.... Wifi and Bluetooth are off - I never turn Wifi on, and I almost always keep Bluetooth off (though I wish there was a way to quickly - or even automatically - turn it on or off, ie, whenever I use it in phone mode, BT would turn on, and when I hang up, it turns off.)

any other thoughts?

when i am out in the country, where i might rarely get a signal, my battery drains real fast, prob to do with the constant searching for a signal to connect to.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Curious D:
I came upon this thread after my 8125 began having problems with the battery life last week. I'm wondering what kind of battery life people are getting and which settings they have.

For instance, before last week, I was getting little battery drainage during a 9 hour shift at work. Then this week, I was getting close to 55% battery drainage over the same duration. Just a few moments ago, I checked my battery settings and I found out that for some reason, my phone wasn't shut off after 2 minutes of idle time as it was originally set at. Okay, I'll test my battery usage tomorrow at work, but I suspect that was the problem.

Then it got me wondering how long other people have for battery life. With Bluetooth on, wifi off, lowest brightness setting and my auto shut off set at 2 minutes, I was able to last an entire 9 hour shift on standby with only about 4 - 5% drop in battery life. Hopefully, that is what I'll have tomorrow when I test it again with the auto shut off setting in place. What are others getting for battery life (please specify your settings).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] RangerX:
I've forgotten to charge my phone at night before, and have had no problems making it through the second day of usage, though I'll usually get a low battery warning.

I keep Bluetooth and data connection on constantly. Don't use Wi-Fi unless I need something really quickly. Backlight is at the lowest active setting. I would say I use it moderately throughout the day. I use it to take important notes and make reminders for myself, along with surfing the internet without worry.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tux_tux:
hi

Please check out activesync which drains the max battery..

make sure that activesync is not running in backround. once after disconnecting your mini-usb cable connectivity from PC please check for the activesync status.. if running turn it off.

Hi just wondering if anyone knows how to bring back or stop the auto replacement feature of the stock samsung keyboard from dissapearing. I am currently using the Jedi kitkat rom which has it initially then after awhile it just seems to vanish. I can bring it back by reflashing to rom but it always seems to go mia again. Anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phil.culler:
Mine disappeared on the stock rom after using Wanam xposed so I started using the SwiftKey beta.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] runehasa:
Keyboard

Well this doesn't really help me as I am trying to find out what the root cause for the feature just vanishing entirely and I know a lot of people are having similar issues where it just isnt there anymore. I have been using Wanam myself and I have made several changes and reboots and it doesn't seem to disappear. It is only after a day or so has gone by I notice it just isnt working anymore and low and behold its gone. I like using the stock samsung keyboard for the numbers on the top of the keyboard that seems native to the note series. Not only that but when its there the auto correction seems to be spot on. I realize swiftkey is nice and all and I have a paid version of it but I just dont like that it doenst have the number keys always on top

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] JesseK:
I preordered my S5 on March 23rd, with an expected ship date of the 8 or 9th. I then added a friend to my new mobile share plan and he decided he wanted the s5 also. So I ordered his on the 31st of March.

His showed up yesterday, 4/09, and mine is scheduled to arrive today, 4/10.

One would think preordering would be a first come first serve basis. But nope, not with AT&T. One shipped from Tennessee, one shipped from Texas. Texas, being geographically closer to me in California, is the shipment that is arriving a day later.

Now, this isn't a big deal to me, but I am a bit annoyed that I wouldn't get it sooner, based on my immediate preorder. And ultimately I will probably leave it in the box until you crafty people find a way to hack it. If not, I'll probably stick with my TWRP enabled S4 which works great still. (had to replace the LCD, which is the entire reason I preordered the S5.)

Just curious when you preordered, and when you received, let me know.

Ordered both a charcoal grey and a shimmery white one on 3/28. They were both delivered on 4/9.

What's weird is that the grey one shipped from Fort Worth and the white one from Memphis. I received shipping notifications for both on Monday 4/7 and the white one just hung out in Memphis till 4/8 while it waited for the grey one to arrive in Memphis as well. Then they both arrived on my front porch the next day at noon.

My old phone told me they were delivered so I did a surgical strike running home from work at lunch to scoop them up and get them to a secure location.

Beautiful phones, both of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] brivette007:
For whatever reason, I couldn't preorder on AT&T's site (Premier). It said my plan was not compatible with that phone. Must've been a bug on the site, for kicks I tried adding serveral different phones (including basic phones) to my shopping cart and received the same message.

So I ended up preordering it at Best Buy, and I'm going to pick it up today. It comes with a $10 gift card, so I guess I can't complain too much about not getting the phone a few days early.
