You can thank google for this. In attempt to build their database up (they say "to improve location accuracy"), google actually scans for wifi networks EVEN WHEN IT IS OFF! This is now the default setting!

Uncheck it and see if battery use improves...

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
So I'm turning in my work phone (S5) as I move to a new job and am buying my own phone for the first time in a LONG time, so I'm trying to keep the price down. I found the M8 for $99 on contract and am thinking I will go with that, just wondering how you guys feel about yours still?

Any input would be greatly appreciated :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blestsol:
I still love my phone. I paid off contract the first day it was available for Verizon. I'm stock with root. I use xposed for what I do want and the phones still fast as ever. This is the smoothest, snappiest phone I've come into contact with. And what's dope about it is it isn't bogged down with bloat. It feels like a stock android phone. Camera is still okay.. But I'm used to it. I've had people question what android phone this is and be shocked that it's HTC. Most of my friends went to iPhone after the Evo. This is leaps and bounds better. I have a tempered glass screen protector and a slick wraps skin on it just to keep the form factor. I would buy it all over again.

But FYI.. There's a few different screens going around on the M8. My original had more warm colors. This random one I received as a replacement a while ago because something I did has cooler colors and a screen that's way brighter.

I'm only on my second day with the phone, I immediately rooted and installed viperoneM8. Since I only have 2 days experience and my last smart phone was an old piece of crap nexus I don't really have anything else to compare it to. My first impressions are that I am very impressed with the sound and with the battery life, my last phone wouldn't even make it to noon with light usage, since this phone is still new I been using it really heavy and playing videos, using gps, playing some newer games and it makes it through the whole day without getting low. Build quality is the best, camera is decent, it is responsive and works well without issues what more can I say about it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimalMotherASF:
I had my phone since the 30th of June.

I had an ATT iPhone 5s. I was liking the 5s bus I've always had the iPhone and knew nothing of android. I always thought iPhones were the best and never paid any attention to ugly android phones which were often sold for a new one

Well, I was tired of Apple and ATT. ATT made me upset so I researched the S5 and the M8.

After seeing many people return the s5 I went with the m8. I hope it can last about 3 years minimum like iPhones easily do.

I played Zelda ocarina of time on mine. I also noticed the keyboard does not like my fingers my iPhone keyboard was good. Swift key is amazing but I worry putting to many apps will slow my phone so I am getting used to the stock keyboard.

Camera is nearly as good as my 5s with the hdr. Sound from speaker phone is better on my m8 and its faster.(feels faster).

I had to return my first phone due to a dead part of the touch screen, second phone had a bad.WiFi receiver but was.snappy, 3rd phone works well but it feels slower and the screen seems warmer rather then cooler. My phone also shows glue on the lenses but does not effect camera and is bareley noticeable.

I like the phone. My iPhone is made solid I dropped it constantly with no case it's been good. I hope that htc uses the high quality ic's like Apple.

I got mine off Amazon for 100 and it was definitely worth it. Speakers are great, it's a good size, and it works. My old phone was a galaxy s3 and it was plenty fast still, but it fell apart. Battery life on the m8 is great too. I'm actually very happy with it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTCC:
I'm only just over a week into owning mine. Quality build and materials but I'm not sure if I will keep it as I moved to windows last year and I prefer the windows os.

The unlock gestures on the htc are not very well thought out compared to Nokia plus I miss having glance screen. I will give it another week or so to see if I'm going to hold onto it.

The phone itself is great but it is more the os that I have a problem with but if you want android then I think the M8 is the best option.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doughnut:
Had mine for almost a couple of months.

Love it, just a couple little niggles like no multicolour led and the pesky speaker grills get crap stuck in them.

I'd recommend a spidgen case too.

My partner has the S5 it feels like a toy, touchwiz is annoying and I really prefer my M8 in every way.

I was a Samsung S3 user before hand , had the S5 taken the same design (the pebble didn't look and feel so cheap) I would of considered it.

Not a HTC fanboy by any means (I've had quiet a few HTC phones back in the day) but truth be told they were garbage.

The M8 is a different story, HTC truly upped their game.

Xposed with Side Control module makes up for how tall the phone is to drop down the quick settings with a side swipe.

You're all wrong look at Swappa and locally on Craigslist, as much as I would like the Note 3 to sell more that's not the case. I sold my note 3 for $425, although some might be selling for $475+ people aren't buying them. I found a new sealed Nexus 5 for $380 on eBay who has overstock on them and in desperate need to sell and with tempered glass protector and case I spend another $20, so I pocketed $25 big deal. But ya no way Note 3 is selling for more right now. Oh and with bootloader locked like in my case I'm on AT&T (SCREW you AT&T) I rather have my Nexus 5 any day regardless of screen size. I'm just wish OnePlus One hurry's the heck up and sells the darn phone ASAP.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
One of the pins broke off of the SIM connector whilst using a SIM adaptor and I was wondering where I might get a replacement? I have looked online briefly and I can't really find much replacement parts for this phone yet, unless I am looking in the wrong places?

I remember this happened to my SGS I-9000 and the part only cost like £5 from eBay and was modular so I am hoping this one will be as easy to replace too!

**UPDATE: It seems that unless you are an expert with a solder (and I mean expert!) then you will not be able to replace this part since it is soldered on to the circuit board rather than a modular part, so I am putting a list of places recommended by posters where you can get your G3 repaired.

On a Google search, it seems that this is a common issue with these adapters, especially cheap ones, and other people have had the same problem too. I had figured too that due to the phone being new, there are basically no substantial source of spare parts that I can find as of yet..

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
You can try to claim from the actual store you bought it from rather than the LG warranty as that would be quicker but otherwise it's about a £45 repair from the sites that are offering it.

Actually, I never owned the phone but saw one on eBay that I was considering buying that had this fault but I really cannot understand why no one on here has bought the £5 LG G2 SIM part from eBay (as I had mentioned a month ago on here) to see if that one fits as if it doesn't work then you have not lost anything! That would have been the 1st thing I would have done if it happened to me as I am no way paying £45 for basically a ~50p part which I can just repair myself since all phones are modular these days.

....What kind of idiots own this phone?! :rolleyes:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
Well, I have mine on 2 year warranty and will try to get it fixed through the authorized service shop first. Will see how that goes. If it is too expensive I will search for alternatives.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
I imagine with the 2yr EU electronics warranty it will be free but authorised or not, service centres always need you to give your phone in for a few days that's why I suggested you go back to the shop where you bought it from for a simple exchange on the spot (If you did indeed do that and not from a private seller on eBay).

It shouldn't matter if you bought from the high street or online, if it's a new/refurbished product and faulty then it has to be replaced.

If you bought it online from a shop In the EU then you actually have more rights/power than a high street purchase as it is covered under the 7 days Distance Selling regulations so you can return it within 7 days and cancel the purchase (or ask for a replacement) with no reason needed to be given to the shop.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
Without owning the phone I can't say but it looks like it may slide or clip off somehow. Looking at the pic on my phone, it also looks like there is a black/white ribbon cable attached to it on the left? When I view it on my PC later I will be able to see better. I would be very surprised if it needed to be soldered on, but I could be wrong. If someone does get their's repaired in a service centre, they can ask and let us know or even just send an email to a place offering this repair and ask them.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacimbo:
it needed to be soldered
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
Ah...that's unfortunate! I am thinking that since they have packed so much into a thin casing, plus made the screen's real estate with minimal bordering then they would have had to make sure the components are as compact as possible inside. I guess that it's not across the board and maybe only Samsung do modular then as I even found that on the S3 it's as easy as pulling out the ribbon cable and adding the new part.

Do you know if there are many pins to be soldered on and if they are far apart or very close to each other? I have to admit, I am not very good with a soldering iron but have managed to replace a fixed BIOS chip on a motherboard once which was a nightmare.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarfreak26:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galinha:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
I sent a msg to the eBay seller selling the part which claims to be a service centre and they told me to resolder the part on is very difficult. I had asked how many pins and how far apart they were spaced.

Thus, I would recommended that 99% of you pay for it to be done by a service/repair centre.

Also, if you are going to use a micro sim adaptor, try to make sure that the edge on which the SIM reader pins catch and break on is covered with something like sellotape, or even make a template of the adaptor with paper/very thin card and glue it on top firmly so that the edges (of the paper/card) themselves do not lift up (to catch on the pins!). This may help to stop it catching, but obviously remember to cut a piece out in the middle so the SIM card can still be read!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
I believe you may be able to get it cheaper. You could even ask the eBay sellers for prices and if they can do it themselves. Obviously, make sure they are legit and that they either create an auction link for this or send you an invoice through PayPal as you can run the risk of your phone never coming back!

Any help/recommendations would be appreciated:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D0MINO:
If the whole part solder is too difficult (which I think it is!) then you can perhaps instead try to solder the missing pin(s) with some sort of thin metal strip/wire that you can bend or even try to place it there without soldering (as I did). I remember that one of the connectors broke off on my SGS once whilst I was abroad so I think I just used some flexible wire (I think it was even the solder wire) temporarily until I got home and ordered the part. Once I had managed to make contact correctly I could not take the SIM out again as the wire would have moved. It did take a bit of time but if you can not get your phone repaired or replaced then this is an option.
