[Sprint HTC One (M8)] slimbrady:
I haven't used the non-HK M8 but I have had 2 HK M8's so far and, for the most part, been extremely happy with them. I feel like the main difference between the models (other than the software limitations, which can be removed if you are able get S-Off) is the Harmon Kardon ear buds which seem pretty nice.....as far as ear buds go (I've yet to find a pair that blew me away and/or remained comfortable for more than 30 minutes....these were no exception).

I do like the Champagne highlights of the phone which add a nice contrast and make the phone a little more...classy looking? Most of the Sprint stores also give you a $250-$350 floor speaker for $100 flat may be $100 and it's supposedly pretty amazing in sound quality/functionality with your home network if you pick up the HK.

I still prefer the shape and features of a Digital Camera over using a wireless device as one so the less-than-amazing dual 'ultra-pixel' primary cameras did not deter me from getting this phone...I have seen some testing results that show it as one of the lower ranked flagship devices's cameras(vs iPhone5s vs GS5) but the differences were really not so remarkable in my opinion.

As for everyone complaining about the Data...I know, in my case at least, it's due to outdated Cell towers and my house being on the fringe of 3G coverage anyway which, once upgraded and communicating properly with the newest devices Sprint is offering, should allow the M8 HK/ M8 to shine in that area as well....assuming the M12 or M18 or m128 aren't out by the time Sprint completes their upgrades. >,<
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] getinnocuous:
I've had the Harmon Kardon edition for about a week now and overall, I love it. Here are some random observations:

People seem to dislike the colors. I think they are awesome.

That being said, the back is very susceptible to fingerprint smudges. The camera can also attract some fogginess (best way I can describe it) that can be wiped off. Might happen because I often have the phone in my pocket while I'm running around, working.

Considering the two points above, you should get a case for this thing. I'll be picking up one of the Naked wraps from Slickwraps pretty soon.

I don't use any of the built in Harmon Kardon audio enhancer whatever stuff. Somehow "restoring lost frequencies and quality" from compressed MP3s just seems...er...impossible to me, and really it just sounds like they up the mids and highs a bit.

Earbuds are pretty solid. Took me a few days to figure out how to get them both in properly, but they bump.

The quality of the shots taken with the camera are nice enough for me. Crisp at full size, photos start to look grainy when you zoom in, and some surfaces come out very noisy. I'm still experimenting with the video mode, which has some really cool options. 60FPS filming is awesome, but the videos come out a little dark.

This phone is smoooooooooooooth. I don't have any desire to root it and slap CM or whatever else might be out there on it, because Sense has actually grown into something useful, and even pretty to look at. I check Blinkfeed quite a few times throughout my day.

I haven't experienced any of the data issues other people have been having. Not having data to use while I'm talking on the phone is okay because, well, I'm on the phone. Any weird connection spaz moments that I've encountered have taken place in areas that I know have terrible Sprint reception. So really, Sprint's still being kinda crappy, but have improved since I started my contract in November of 2013 (I'm in Southern California).

That's all I can think of at the moment. Lemme know if there's anything else you'd like clarified.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thronnos:
Thank you for those responses! Especially about the one for the HKE! I guess the HK can't sound worse than the beats and I like how the beats sounds. Haha. I'll just have to give that a 14 day try. I should have it today :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drich66:
Came from an EVO, Really like this phone. Im usually on WiFi but have no data issues. I rooted so I can get titanium back up and HK firmware, The phone is loud so I dont even need a bluetooth speaker anymore while at the beach. Got a slim cover and a holster. No issues,
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
Agreed about Sense. BlinkFeed is really fantastic. Really bored away the My Magazine crap that Samsung offers.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ajr0312:
I thinking about getting a new M8 again. I had one, but returned it after a couple of days when I noticed a lot of data connection loss. I don't think it's a sprint issues since I have the S5, LG Flex, and LG 2 and they stay connected all the time. I guess my question is, do you guys have had any trouble with data loss?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thronnos:
I ended up getting the HK. Love the phone. And the data loss was a radio bug. HTC already patched it with an OTA
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] slimbrady:
Good to hear man. Glad you joined the collective. =) Are you going to attempt to S-Off? Let us know whether it works for ya if you do^^
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thronnos:
Honestly not sure. When I had my Evo shift I was all about rooting and roming. I was flashing a new nightly every day. Once I got my M7, I loved stock but rooted to add a custom kernel and to remove bloat. Development was super slow though and I got tired of waiting for releases so I just unrooted and took the OTA after like 3 weeks of waiting. Now that I have my M8, I can honestly say that stock is so nice I've felt no need to root to optimize this phone. It just works. Maybe eventually I'll root and s-off just to try something new. But for right now I'll be rocking this baby just as htc intended
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] slimbrady:
For sure man, don't fix it if it's not broken in your opinion right? =) I will never be satisfied with stock anything lol but to each their own, haha. ^^ Totally understand where you're coming from though and glad you're that happy with the m8 stock...makes me feel just a tiny bit better about not being able to get S-off (perhaps ever) on mine!

Hi,

I am trying for 4 hours now to root my Xperia SP, but I just DON'T get it! Unlocked, locked BL, firmware, kernel, flash, flashtool.....:confused:

As I said, I have: Sony Xperia SP Android 4.3, Model Number: C5303, Build-Number: 12.1.A.1.201, and I DON'T know if I have an unlocked or locked Bootloader..."Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No", I think that's locked, right?

I've tried everything! Flash mode, fast boot, then installed properly the drivers (Windows 8.1, disabling driver signature verification, etc.), 10 methods to root with CWM, 10 methods with revovery etc....

Anyways please, please, please, I implore!!..COULD anyone do a "TOATAL NEWBIE Tutorial: HOW to root Xperia SP" or even send me a link to a tutorial, maybe i missed one, but I don't think so ....Jailbreaking an iPhone was so much easier, why the hell did I had to loose it, costed me nearly a salary.. :(

Nevermind,I know that's too much asked for, but I would be so so happy, if anyone could offer his help!

could this antenna issue result in my wifi not working correctly although im on 4.2.2 mf9

I believe it's 2 different antennas, one for phone signal and one for WiFi. So any issue related to the phone antenna will likely not cause issues with WiFi and vice versa.

So I recently installed LiquidSmooth nightly on my phone. All was going well until I installed Xposed. After the reboot I can't get the screen back on.

"When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up."<br/>

Software:

K version - Less bloat of the 3 carriers. About 10 less Korean apps than SK Telecom. HAS a 140 char limit on SMS.

S version - In my experience with my F240S and F320S it has the most bloat. Is the most expensive and but has no sms limit. However check the frequency bands match your carrier (For example AT&T T-mobile etc etc)

L Version - No sms limits (Not 100% confirmed), more S-korea carrier bloatware than K, but less then the S version.

I'm not sure but there probably is a casting apk that will work somewhere. Check AllShare, AllCast, etc. for a casting app/receiver that includes desktop capability. You will have to install it with ADB on the Fire TV.

Why would you want to do this? IMO, there are plenty of easier ways to do this. for personal videos, upload to youtube, just set your channel as private. For website based streaming, you could load Firefox browser apk. For movies and TV shows, use xbmc.

Maybe with a little more info on what you want to stream, will help find an answer.

[General Questions and Answers] pippo707070:
Hi to everyone: I'm a newbie on this forum and in general with android platform.

I've recently installed a few benchmarking apps on a Trekstor xiron 10.1 tablet ( target data : 4cores 1.6 Ghz, 2gb ram 1200x800 IPS))

I obtained contradictory device info:

antutu: cpu =rk3188; display 1200x800

quadrant: cpu=armv7 4cores rk30board; display=1280x752

cpu-z: cpu rk3066 rev. r3p0 4 cores; displa=1280x752

Because I don't want to disassemble the tablet to solve the mistery, I decided to test at least the display to see if I was able to argue some more infos. On the lagom dutch website I found a full set of pages to test LCD display.

I tested both the Treskstor tablet and an older Mediacom 101s2, a sort of rebranded Sanei N 10 (rk3066, 1gb ram, 1200x800 IPS).

Apart a reasonable difference in brightness, contrast and colour setting, I discoverd the trekstor tablet shows a moire' pattern in a dedicated test image (lagom.nl/lcd-test/clock_phase.php) and this is a symptom of the graphic adapter setting doesn't match the native display resolution. In the same tests the Mediacom display works correctly.

In the normal use, comparing the two displays, the mediacon one seems "crisper".

So my question is: is it possible such a kind of mismatch between the gpu resolution and the display resolution? Can I solve it in some way?

Thank you in advance
