Well because there is a beast for half of the price and that is xiomi MI3....

BTW I an a LG G2 user.... :)
[HTC One E8] swordfish2009:
Its big debatable topic.. ?

Personally I don't trust some cheaper new brand.. also i am long time HTC user with no issues.. but that's me.. I agree many will think differently..
[HTC One E8] RohanM:
They are not that new brand and also using a SD800 at 14k.... ... build quality is great.. also they are selling at manufacturing cost.. and being month by selling themes and apps... same like nexus..
[HTC One E8] swordfish2009:
Yup as i said people think differently.

Lets not discuss xiomi in HTC E8 forum.

Hi Friends, I'm using iPhone5 now and today I'm going to buy HTC One E8...I loved the speed of iPhone because it has zero lag even when jailbreaked and installed lots of tweaks and themes but still I need an Android phone...How is it about the speed and lag compared to iPhone5?
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
When you're going for HTC, then you should know that it won't have any lag. The E8 is one of the best and fastest Android's available in the market. Go for it without thinking twice, I'm sure you'll easily love it over your iPhone!
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
do we get dot view cover for E8 as i am selling my Iphone5 (got bored) and buying E8 this month
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
You will get the dot view in the future but currently it's not available in the markets or elsewhere as far as I know!
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
but it's listed in htc website
[HTC One E8] Swap_L:
I have a couple of Questions before i Opt for this phone

1- Does the E8 (India) have Gorilla Glass 3 ( Since i am seeing conflicting news about this).

2- Is this Phone also part of the HTC Advantage Cover ?
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
E8 is gorilla glass as per their site
[HTC One E8] reaper_07:
Matte Grey bought last Monday

Bought it last week from Mobile Store @Rs. 34300

Unfortunately, there's something wrong with the sim card tray/slot since it refuses to get reception at all in either slot.

Other than that;

Great phone, awesome camera, best front camera on the market IMO.

Battery's pretty decent, goes easily till the end of the day with about 10-15% to spare.

The reason i went for the matte grey is cz the white one has a glossy back (fingerprint magnet), and the Boomsound grill is silver, which is a mismatch with the rest of the body being white.

No regrets with the phone till now, just that i have a defective piece which would hopefully be straight up replaced by HTC

PS: Has anyone else encountered the "No Service" issue?
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Yes that's because it will be available in India, but it's just not available with the retailers YET.

1. Yes it has Gorilla Glass 3, I have it and can confirm.

2. It's not yet mentioned as a part of HTC Advantage in India, but it should get the updates as E8 is almost similar to M8 and it recently released with Sprint in US too where they have Advantage.

This "no service" thing isn't and issue as I don't have it. It might be an issue with your device. You should get it changed asap.
[HTC One E8] Swap_L:
Thanks for clearing it up Silver Shadow . :good:

Urgent Help Needed

When I measure battery Temperature using CPU-Z, it shows me 42 C after using for 10 min. When idle, it shows only around 33C. Can someone tell me if its normal? The phone does not get hot, but it gets warm. Please help.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Yes it's normal, nothing wrong. Just try making sure you don't run many apps together as precaution. It's always a good practice to kill apps totally.
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
guys do e8 have fm radio and notification led
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
Yes it has FM RADIO and i do get notifications when any mail or whatsapp message comes in....
[HTC One E8] reaper_07:
Yup, went to the service centre last saturday. Straight replacement, no questions asked. They said its some issue with the "capture unit".

Interestingly, they didn't issue me a DOA (Defective On Arrival) letter. Instead, i'll be getting the replacement from the service centre itself. They say since its a recently launched phone, all defective units go to the head office so they can be inspected.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Ah yes. Well I've never heard of this procedure before. So be careful, and keep in touch with them regularly. Make sure they don't take much time in "replacing your device directly". Good luck friend. :)
[HTC One E8] ydk:
was iTreasu

Hmm.. ya i think its a bit regulated now.. Never went above 37C after the first day.. Thanks :)
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
That's good to hear. Hope you're enjoying this lovely device!
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
37.c means phone gets too hot is this any issue
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
thanks for the reply but so FM radio have loudspeaker option and it's that led is rgb
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
Practically tested ::

1. FM RADIO - It will not turn on without headphones. But once you connect headphones, you can put it on loudspeaker.

2. LED - So far i think i have seen ORANGE (maybe red but looks orange) while charging and GREEN for notifications. So maybe there is RGB.

Regards,

Greg
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
thanks a lot Greg
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
You can hit that THANKS button rather than thanking in words :D if you havent done it already.
[HTC One E8] reaper_07:
Is it my bad luck or are the TVSE service centre ppl really dumb??

So they did get me a replacement, but when i went to pick it up, i saw that it was a Polar White device, whereas my device is Gray.

I refused to accept it, while the lady kept telling me that none of the "other" customers have had an issue with accepting different color devices.

Though that did blow my top off, but i refused to cuss at her, instead calmly telling her that I will only accept a Gray device.

So they took it back, and thus my wait began again.

Meanwhile, i kept up the pressure on HTC Customer Care, badgering them regarding the service centre's incompetency, and generally giving them a hard time for not issuing the DOA instead.

So finally they sent a device from their central hub in Chennai on an express overnight delivery, and today finally i have the new, properly working, and right colored device again.

So lesson: HTC Customer is pretty decent, but the Service Center ppl are quite daft IMO
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
It's the thing with all service centre people, irrespective of the brand. Which is why we need to keep badgering them to get our work done. Good to know you've got a good device now. Have fun with it mate. :)
[HTC One E8] swordfish2009:
Glad to hear that you got replacement.. Enjoy new Device..
[HTC One E8] shantusingh:
Help me guys please whoever has bought e8 in india . I have bought htc e8 grey ... and on back sticker of box it says htc e8 dual sim "M8SD" . So instead of "Ace" it is m8sd written . Distributor of delhi west who gave me the phone said it can run gsm (3g) and cdma both . I am only using in one vodafone sim in first slot and 3g is working fine .

Now please i want to know are there apps like "kid mode" and "parent dashboard" in your phones too ?

And is my phone 4g lte aswell ?!

How can i please check what bands do my phone have ? Like on gsmarena it says 4G Network LTE 1800 / 2100 / 2500 - for India . So do i have it ?

Any performance (in mobile speed) less or better difference in different model numbers if there are ?!

Would highly appreciate a reply soon!
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
Hi,

I didnt check the sticker etc, but at the back of the phone it says M8sd.

Even mine has Kid mode and Parent Dashboard

I think its 4 g LTE. If you have 4g in delhi please try a sim card. In mumbai we dont have lte as yet, so no chance trying.

to check it do *#*#4636#*#* and then tap on PHONE INFORMATION. scroll down and you will see GSM ONLY. if you tap the down arrow in that you should see all the bands you can select. BUT DO NOT CHANGE YOUR BANDS IN THIS SECTION IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING. YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE AND I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE.

Anybody else more knowledgeable than me can please provide more info. :)

Performance is gr8 so far....
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
All the Indian models have the m8sd model. No its not 4g compatible yet. Maybe in the future. Yes those apps are there too and the performance is great.
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
Didnt understand when you say its not 4g compatible.

The hardware is capable right ?? If anyone got it in areas where 4g is started maybe it can be checked... ???

greg
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
I stay in bangalore. Airtel 4G works here and doesn't work on my e8. The band currently running in India is 2300, which e8 doesn't have. It has 1800, which will run 4g in future. That's why it's hardware is capable, but not currently.

hey guys thanks for starting this thread...

i m from gujarat and brought red one e8 3 days back and found 4 to 5 stuck pixels in it...otherwise device is working flawlessly...will service centre replace it?
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
is this phone heat while using Bluetooth device and when it get 4.4.4
[HTC One E8] choubeyalin:
Not at all... i used it with NFC/Bluetooth both. I have also used it with smart watch of sony. No lag Smooth. It only heats when you are using wrong charger or using it pathetically..

About 4.4.4 dude... it will be done once the find bugs... the phone have just arrived!! supposedly Android L might come directly!! coz technically there is no difference in 4.4.4 and 4.4.2!!

anything else I can help with??

Hit Thanks if I did it worthy enough!! ;)
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
You should go and ask for a DOA certificate and get it replaced from your seller!

I think it may get 4.4.3, similar to M8. But God knows when.
[HTC One E8] mietens:
Thanks for replying.

I visited service centre and they said it's not covered under warranty as this dots happened with manufacturing of LCD which they can't control and it's working fine so no doa is possible... What should I do now?

[MENTION=4421730]choubeyalin[/MENTION]

GOOD REVIEW.. Cheers
[HTC One E8] choubeyalin:
Just drop a mail or call HTC services...mentioned on their website :)

Its a new phone and they will replace it.

And its not a case of DOA!!

Your phone might have hit hard or fell..

I case none...I suggest try hard resetting :)
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
You should argue that it's still a device manufactured by them!!

And you've spent about 33k for this, Obviously you deserve a defect free device! Argue with them, talk to manager, drop posts on their fb and twitter. Make them take action!

Many flaws

Hi.. I bought htc e8 a week ago. Its heating up often for simple stuffs like calling, and also the video camera does not work in the HTC camera( works for other apps). Battery also seems to drain very fast. I work in IT company where there is AC full day. Yet the temperature is around 35C within 10 min of use. ( can someone advise?) Should I go for a replacement? Can someone tell me the DOA procedure and terms?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Do you really think 35C is hot? Sir, that's the temperature at which a quad core beast will run at any day! Infact, even at 40C it's totally safe. Try hard resetting to check the video camera again, that may help the battery too. It may be a rouge app, check the battery stats!

DOA is applicable for 14 days for hardware defects. You need to recheck once after hard reset before going to them, and download apps with care!
[HTC One E8] ydk:
Sir, I know 35C is not such a bad temperature under normal circumstances.

But as I mentioned earlier, I am in a company where there is AC for the whole day ( which is so cold that somedays people need sweaters). Also, the phone , when used for even a mere 10 minutes for calling and texting, under such cold situations goes upto 35C. Under normal conditions it goes to around 45C for 15-20 minutes usage.

Also, the battery takes around 3 hours to charge.

The point Im trying to make is that I already have 3 complaints about the device in a week. So in the longer run I might encounter more. So I thoght its a faulty device.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Try the hard reset, if your still doesn't function normally, service center. :)
[HTC One E8] ydk:
Thanks

Thank you Sir,:)

My friend wants to buy the E8 white version. But in few reviews, it is said that white has silver finish on the front, which does not look so good.

He does not mind the glossiness. Can someone tell me if the white looks good? I havent had a chance to look at it personally.

Does white with silver look odd? Or it looks classy? Please comment :)

Thanks
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
I saw the white version and it looked damn nice. Nothing odd about the silver highlights. I personally went with gray because I wanted soft touch polycarbonate instead of plastic. Else, I would have preferred some other colour only.
[HTC One E8] ydk:
Thanks...

You are so helpful.

But why does no one else reply to my posts? :confused: Anyway Im gonna tel him white looks good.

Thank you once again Sir.:)

[HTC One E8] jgauthu2006:
I prefer white one, and i did bought it too, it looks glossy and good, i put a transparent casing on it, and it lookes excellent.

I also heard that the back one has some issue in time around the corners where the soft touch is weared off.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
I've had my gray one from the first day it was launched in India. No issues yet with it. :)

White is nice, but matte gray is way sexier according to me. :D

The news is HTC is gonna skip 4.4.3 update and will directly give 4.4.4. And I guess this device gonna get Android one update too. Battery backup is amazing.
[HTC One E8] reaper_07:
The service centre ppl are quite daft & totally incompetent IMO.. Please get in touch with HTC customer care online, or on the phone. They are very very responsive & co-operative.

If you read my posts in this thread, you'll come to know the whole story..

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

The reasons i bought the grey one are that

a) I wanted the matt finish. White one is gloss

b) Since the white one is gloss, its going to be a fingerprint magnet!

Just my 2cents

Here is the reply i got from them on facebook:
[HTC One E8] kunalra:
4.4.4 and Android one updates are planned for E8 according to rumors. But do not know ETA.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
From what I heard from customer service, 4.4.3/4.4.4 will be out within the next one month. But one can't be too sure.

There is no android one update as such, but e8 will however get the android L(5.0 or whatever it's called) update, but again, no clue when!

Yesterday I brought this phone sold my iPhone 5 this phone is awesome super fast very light weight for handling and I can use it with my one hand

I have two questions how to make folder in main menu and how to bring battery percentage on top
[HTC One E8] Androidkeeda:
I m really confused ?.... Should i buy this beast now or should wait for a quater to have a 64bit processor snapdragon 810.... I am a heavy gamer and future gaming of 64bit wont support on this i think... And i dont want to change my new phone before 18 months atleast...

Help me guys... I searched on net and found snapdragon 801, 805, 808, 809 are lined up and also 810 (64bit)... I doubt that next generation phones would have 64bit processors but then what about 805, 808 & 809 snapdragons??

I wont go for htc 820 having snapdragon 620 (64bit)...

Plz help guys what yo do... I dont wanna outdated within 3-4 months and dont wanna see any game on play store saying "YOUR DEVICE ISN'T COMPETIBLE" :(
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
For battery percentage - go to settings, power and select "show battery level"

I doubt you can make a folder in the App Drawer with the existing Blinkfeed drawer.

tx

Greg
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
To make folders in menu change layout from alphabetical to custom and proceed. :)

Trust me, 64 bit 810 will come only 6 months later with next years flagships, and 801 won't be incompatible with any games for a long time. This processor has enough power to run anything. 3-4 months, no chance! I took this myself planning to keep it for 2 years, and I'm happy. Because by then Android on the 64bit system will be totally stable, and hence, it's a safe bet in the long run! I don't regret my decision to buy the E8 at all. But still, if you can wait for the next crop of flagships patiently, and have to resources to purchase them, feel free. It will be an awesome feeling in itself. :D
[HTC One E8] sandy_thegame:
I change it to custom but can't make folders
[HTC One E8] kunalra:
Just use " hold and rearrange " option
[HTC One E8] Androidkeeda:
Thanx bro u cleared my confusion.... Actually stability is a good point... Initially all things need a serious upgrades and fixes... & it will be expensive too around 55-60k for a flagship and no guranteed dual sim functionality... And i dont wanna invest my hard earned money for being tester for 64bit phones.... Stability is really important... It is better to wait with E8 until all things get fixed & can get that technology in budget though ;)

Thanx man... Will buy this beast in between 10-15 days....

Hopefully we will get devs support like m8 too... Finger crossed

Hey everyone

I was just wondering whether these Vinyl skins are reliable enough....

I mean can we trust them? :silly:

They look all awesome and pretty but does that have its own backdrops? :confused:

I got a few advices saying it's not worth it....

For Nexus 5 "the adhesive sticks to the back and ruins the rubberized matte back" :eek:

"it causes the Nexus Logo embellishments to come off when you later remove the skin" :rolleyes:

Are these true?

I wanted suggestions from people who've used such skins/have had experience with them?

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Stealyourface:
I have heard of both issues before as well. And I'm pretty sure both can be solved by just heating the skin (with hair dryer or something) before removing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vibhav1991:
Im using a dbrand skin on my Red Nexus so cant really comment on the rubber peeling off, but there are cutouts for the nexus logo on the back so there's no way that the skin will peel away along eith the nexus logo inlays. All you need to do to peel it off is to heat up the skin with a hair drier or a heat gun and that mkaes it easier to remove it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sunnylovesalman:
I have used 2 Nexus 5 s till date and I keep changing my SW vinyl, ICarbon, Printvenue etc to alter my Phones look almost every 7 days.

I peel off the back without the use of a Heat Gun till date but neither my Nexus 5 Black or White has ever shown problems like u said.

(May be that I got Lucky everytime for the last 30Odd times or the NEXUS 5 quality is just super awesome ).

Should I unroot first if I want to accept the 4.4.3 OTA update from Verizon?

My VZW Note 2 was rooted via Saferoot. Then I disabled SDM and FWupgrade by renaming them to *.bak.

I don't mind resetting everything to factory default. If I do that, should I unroot as well?

Thanks! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mushypizza:
nope you shouldnt have to unroot. However, do understand that there is a chance that you cannot root in the future with 4.4 due to Knox 2.0. We just have to hope developers find a new way to root/unlock bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] youphone:
Thanks! That exactly what confuses me right now.

If I don't unroot and turn on SDM/FWupgrade to allow 4.4.3 OTA update to

be installed on my rooted Note 2,will the rooting disappear afterwards?

(going back to rooted state by itself?)

Or will the Note 2 remain rooted?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
There is no 4.4.3 Ota. Only 4.4.2. And yes you will lose root. It's not currently rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolpoete:
Never take the OTA's. Just wait for one of the ROM developers to make a ROM based on the OTA.
