[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazzz66:
Hi Guys,

Till a recent reboot I had the possibility to double tap on the screen to "turn on" the screen.

All gestures work on the screen at the moment (V - circle - two fingers - next / previous song) except for screen on.

Is there a setting that I accidentally used?

Any thoughts?

Tnx
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geri.st:
Check: settings > display &led scroll down to advanced option "double tap to..."

Should manage that problem

Geri.st
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Settings -> Display -> Gestures -> Double tap.

If you use a kernel other than stock, ensure that the option is enabled as well (they're enabled by default on kernels)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazzz66:
Thank you, that worked. Strange how it lost it setting.

Need to get more familiar with Cyanogen 11 :D
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
So many customizations that you get lost :p ... its great having options to customize your phone the way you want it to be though.

Enjoy.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adhanda:
Not positive this is the best forum for this, but here's an issue I'm having:

I utilize an IPSec VPN to connect to a "work" network to get access to a specific internal website, however, once on the page, further links from the page go to a shortened hostname ("servername" instead of "servername.domain.dom"). For some reason on my devices (GS5/Kindle Fire HD; 4.4.2 and 4.4.4) have no problem finding the page utilizing the "servername.domain.dom" but they show "website cannot be found" when it switches to just the hostname. This is annoying as each link I follow beyond the main page I have to edit the URL to.

My computers at home (Win 7 and OSX 10.9), my iOS devices, as well as our Android 4.4.2 powered tablets at work (stock android VPN app, same webpage shortcut on the home screen) all have no problem following the switch to the shortened hostname. My iOS devices have been tested on LTE/Wi-Fi; the work tablets operate on Wi-Fi (NOT the network it VPNs to) and 3G/LTE. My personal devices (all) are on AT&T, "work" devices are on Sprint

What am I missing here? (I setup the tablets @ work, thus I'm really at a loss for what I'm missing to do on my personal stuff)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adhanda:
Unfortunately I have no control over VPN settings/protocols... I'd love to figure out why this is happening only on my devices...

Windows joins the HTC One Family

Windows Phone fans, today is the day that you’ve been waiting for since we announced the M8 earlier this year. Introducing the HTC One (M8) for Windows, the first time an iconic flagship device is offered on multiple operating systems – Android and now Windows.

“Consumers love the HTC One (M8) and today’s introduction extends that enthusiasm to new audiences hungry for choice in their mobile experience,” said Jason Mackenzie, President of HTC Americas. “HTC fills a gap in the market for unique devices that put a premium on form and function. Microsoft shares our vision, and that’s why we committed to providing the best experience with the HTC One (M8) on the Windows Phone platform.”

This phone is an M8 in its core, offering the same premium and unique experiences that are standard, including HTC BlinkFeed, HTC BoomSound, Duo Camera with UltraPixel technology, a 5MP wide-angle front-facing camera and support for the HTC Dot View case.

Under the hood is Windows Phone 8.1 Update, which incorporates a host of meaningful innovations:

Cortana, Windows’ truly personal digital assistant, makes her HTC debut in this phone. Adept at searching for sushi and setting calendar appointments, Cortana also offers the ability to proactively warn you when it’s time to leave for your next appointment or remind you to pick up milk on the way home.

Action Center provides one swipe access to all your recent notifications and messages, as well as programmable quick settings.

Apps Corner sandboxes apps and folders into a protected area of the phone and allows users to separate personal and professional information, creating distinct experiences for work and pleasure in a single device.

Windows Phone takes on the chores of battery, data and storage management, and keying in passwords for known Wi-Fi networks, allowing users more time to explore the phone’s innovative functionality that truly puts consumer needs first.

Availability

The HTC One (M8) for Windows is available now, exclusively through Verizon Wireless online for $149.99 and will be in stores tomorrow, Aug. 20. Additionally, Microsoft Stores will sell the device with Verizon service and a special offer for a free HTC Dot View Case and screen protector for $25. The retro styling of HTC Dot View, HTC’s intuitive and eye-catching case that shows calls and alerts through a protective shell, is available as an accessory for the HTC One (M8) for Windows.

No information about a release outside the US or Verizon Wireless at this time.

For more information about the HTC One (M8) for Windows, you can visit the HTC Blog and the product page. Feel free to share this information as we’re launching a “Share This: Windows Phone” activity later this morning! :)

And while you’re at it, check out this beautiful photo album (elevate membership required) with more photos of this stunning device (it is an M8 after all).

lets be honest; most people wouldn't touch a windows phone with a 10 foot pole, and this phone wont change that much; its not the phone that makes windows phones so un desireable, its the OS itself, and lack of apps and developer support.

[HTC One M8 for Windows] SolarTrans:
After getting my G3 Cat.6, the M8 is my secondary device. Because of that, I'd be more than happy to give it some Windows Phone treatment if possible, however I'm guessing there'll be some hoops getting it from Verizon to GSM.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] rfplanner:
I have a Nokia Lumia 1520, an IPhone 5S and a HTC One M8.

I love the M8, and if I had the chance to make it a windows phone I would jump at it.

I dislike with a passion my IPhone, I don't care how many apps are out there if so many of them are just dross, but it was given by my company so I have no choice but to use it.

Any of the app stores can boast of how many apps they have, but like a huge bookstore that has millions of books, a lot just are not of any interest to me.

I cannot talk for "most people" as I don't know them all, but I can say that (IMHO) the windows operating system on phones is MUCH better than either Android or IOS.

I have had all of them, and whilst there is not anywhere near the amount of apps available on the windows store, virtually all that I personally want is there.

Couple that with a phone that works seamlessly with Windows (I usewindows personally and work) and also with my companies corporate software and Office 365, and I have a phone that is much more useable as a device than ANY other android or IOS phone out there.

So please, you are a Senior member I see, and perhaps your comments should be more based on actual facts than personal opinion.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] :
While I applaud the M8's flexibility.... If I wanted a windows phone, I'd have bought one. I've played with one awhile. My very short review of it..... Terrible. Just terrible. I prefer Apple even. Lol
[HTC One M8 for Windows] md1008:
I remember back in the mt4g days we could simply put the run in the SDcard, change name to something like pd591img and it would load. I would think if we flashes a modified wp bootloader we could probably flash w8 on to our phone
[HTC One M8 for Windows] ajbiz11:
I own a mt4g

And I know exactly what your talking about

HBOOT searches for ROM and HBOOT updates on the SDCard, and an SOFF-ed device can run unsigned ones

This wasn't something that could pull something like this off

That's an alternative for Android RUU's

Also, if you happen to still have a MT4G, I need another

What was terrible about it? I like Windows Phone and my only problem is the lack of devices.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] :
I don't wanna come here bashing too much. Lol

But you asked. ;)

All my opinion of course... To each their own.

Ugly. Poorly designed. Limiting big time, compared to Android. And just plain silly. Lol Again, my opinion.

And of course apps available are very few compared to Android.

Anyway.... Never been a windows fan... Ever. Yes, my laptop is Windows. Just a necessary evil to me though.

If I ranked the phone os's...

Android.

Apple

BlackBerry

Anything else?

Windows.

[HTC One M8 for Windows] speedfreak228:
I agree with rfplanner ! My only complaint is that wp8 doesn't get the newest apps, but I have a tab s for that. Cortana is something android doesn't have. That I would desperately love to have on Android. I would flash a wp8 to my HTC in a heartbeat. Dual boot phone would be amazing
[HTC One M8 for Windows] Oditius:
I actually had a Lumia 1520, someone wanted to trade a M8 for it, so I did, even though I already had one. But I really wanted to try the S5 out, I figured it would be easier to trade the M8 for the S5. But after a week without my WP, I decided I didn't want the S5. So now I have two M8's. I need the android for my checking account. But quicken has stated that they are developing the software for WP, so now when they release it, I will be going back to WP.

As KJ put it, to each their own.

I love Windows Phone 8, it's slick, stable, and modern (again, just my opinion). I switch between my M8 and my 1020 every couple of weeks.

Honestly I just love messing with different OS's. I'm also planning on getting the BB Passport whenever that comes down as well.

Even with desktop OS's I love dual/triple booting Windows, Linux, and OSX. Each has its own advantages and it's fun to explore.

At the end of the day I'm just a curious person and love exploring new tech and different ways to use it which is what a lot of XDA is about.

Sorry for the long post, but long story short, having more options is a good thing.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] wase4711:
Its not my personal opinion at all; its basic fact that Android has a 85% market share, and windows phone is ~2-3%, so how could you even say its my "personal" opinion; fact is, I am going to try a win 8 phone soon, and I have no "dislike" for win phone at all, since I've never owned one.

I dont know how much more "factual" than that I can be..

Can we get this for Sprint!!!!? USA!!!!
[HTC One M8 for Windows] rfplanner:
OK, OK, :)

I think you will enjoy the phone when you get it, its simply much easier to use imho.

As for the other thing, I am a Brit, if you say "most people", I assume you are talking about all people, not just phone users, and whilst I tend to agree with you, it will be interesting to see how things develop as and when people have a chance to change their phones as they get the option to do so because of contract reasons.

Its a fact that IOS phones worldwide are more expensive on contract, and Android phones are less expensive, and that may have a lot to do with the take up of Android.

However, windows phones seem to be becoming easier to get on contract, and are seen as a more secure operating system than Android, so lets see.

Cheers
[HTC One M8 for Windows] SolarTrans:
Here in the USA a high end Android phone is the same price as an iPhone on and off contract. The Note 3 was actually $100 more than the 16GB iPhone 5s on contract at launch.

Also, high end Androids are around $600-700 off contract; while 16GB iPhones are $650 and 32GB are $750.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] -juanito-:
My htc one m8 was $400 on contract for 1 year and monthly bill is $60
[HTC One M8 for Windows] rfplanner:
Yes, but the rest of the world has access to incredibly low prices, of course they are not high end phones.

I was in china working for a few months, and I could buy an unlocked android phone with 16gb for less than 100 USD, in India its even cheaper.

That's what is driving the Android numbers, China and India where the phone costs are on the floor.

For sure there are high end phones as well, but most people worldwide don't earn what we do.

Iphones only started to be sold in the last 6 months officially in China, before that it was a 1000 USD import from Hong Kong or Japan
[HTC One M8 for Windows] SolarTrans:
Yeah I totally understand that low cost Android phones are what have been running the high adoption rates.

I just mentioned that to say there definitely are Android phones with price tags as high as iPhones ;)
[HTC One M8 for Windows] Oditius:
So it's time that this thread has turned into a Android vs Windows Phone. Sorry to see that happen, that means this thread should be closed, even though the talk is not derogatory. This was suppose to be about the M8 for WP.

THREAD DEAD!!! I AM OUTTA HERE....

I think it was a mistake on HTC part to name it the M8 for WP. They should have named it W8, so it wouldn't even be in here. And this Android vs WP wouldn't even be here.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] RLKirk:
I may get rid of my m8 to get the m8 for wp. I like the simplicity it has and integration with other Microsoft devices. I don't think it will ever be ported not because it's not possible but because everyone seems to just wanna argue about it. I'm technically an HTC fan not an android fan. They just make the best and cleanest UI for android. So I'm willing to give it a shot and try their WP edition ?
[HTC One M8 for Windows] jamezr:
Ding ding ding....we have a winner folks! Finally someone that appreciates the phone. Can we stop all the mine is better than yours? Android and WP8 are both great mobile OSes. Lets stop the bickering.....
[HTC One M8 for Windows] NJGSII:
Both have their strong and weak points as any other OS out there. The purpose of this thread is to see whether or not we can get it on our devices. If I wanted thoughts about Windows phone I'd go to a review site or pick up a lumia 635 for cheap and try it out myself.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] Stephen:
Moderator Warning​

Can this thread get back on track please. This thread is not meant to be which is better windows or android or which phone is better. Can it be solely for the purpose of trying to find ways of porting windows to the m8.

Last time I checked, one person has posted here saying they got the phone. Does anyone else have the Windows version? I'm sure some sort of system dump would at least lead us in some sort of direction.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] RLKirk:
Ok so I bit the dust and bought it. I still have my android M8 also. Until I figure out which one I like better. But if anyone wants me to do anything to get this whole development thing started then lay it on me. I have no hacking knowledge but I know my way around a PC. ?
[HTC One M8 for Windows] computerguru:
I ran out and bought the Android version as soon as they made the announcement of a WP version (because no way I'm going to Verizon.) I'd love to help out in any way I can (testing/development/etc.) I've also done ARM-based reverse engineering work in the past.

Dual Boot Possibility?

Since so may people are worried about the different partition mapping between Windows and Android, I just remembered that wayyy back in the HD2 days, you could/would have to partition the external memory card to run both Win and Android. If anything, I would imagine it being similar booting Linux of off an external flash drive on a PC, therefore separate from the HDD. I don't know too much about the new Windows Mobile 8.1 but this is just my two cents.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] daorderdillon:
I forget also but I think you have to use the adb pull system some ****
[HTC One M8 for Windows] domineus:
I'd PM [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] honestly at this point. But it isn't likely ADB commands work with that device. If it did, then it would be easy
[HTC One M8 for Windows] graffixnyc:
First thing I would try is unlocking it via HTC dev. It **Should** have fastboot mode. Then we could try booting (not flashing) an android recovery. From there we could get ADB access and be able to get info and/or pull the partitions.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] SolarTrans:
I'm most likely putting my M8 GPE on Craigslist tonight to buy the Windows variant. When that happens, if no development has been done, I'd be happy to donate some time to getting all the resources needed (I have plenty of ADB/Fastboot experience).

Everything that is wrong with these posts

You might get lucky...and maybe be able to disable signature verification in WP via HTCDev, but being as its Verizon, and that goes through MSFT anyways, I doubt it

As for fastboot, that is Android only

ADB = ANDROID developer bridge ...good luck with that on WP8.1

The ONLY way I can see getting a dump of EVERY partition is through a serial terminal (UART) or another NAND reader

[HTC One M8 for Windows] sionicion:
On topic, has an RUU for an HTC Windows Phone ever been released or leaked? I hope we actually get an RUU for this phone.

I feel like an s-offed M8 would accept it and just flash it. Getting back to Android might be trickier since we would need a way to get back into a mode to apply an RUU. Also would be hard trying to dual-boot since it would have bitlocker and secure boot enabled.

Although I've seen somewhere a Windows Phone fail to boot and the Windows Boot Manager showed up on screen. There was a picture somewhere on a news article of it. We could possibly modify the Windows bootloader to include an Android option.

Similar to how Android-x86 is on the PC. You still use the Windows boot loader to choose between Windows or Android. We could use the existing Windows partitions the RUU applies, and resize the partitions and add a small partition for Android then add an EFI entry to the bootloader to boot Android.

But even with s-off, the RUU might replace hboot altogether meaning being unlocked now won't mean anything. We will just have an s-offed device running a locked down system. More development would have to be done to the Windows Phone OS to even begin changing boot entries or switching off secure boot.

This is all my speculation. We don't even have an RUU to play with and no software tools to dump the system.
