PIEPlus lets you change what PIE identifies as, a program I wouldn't do without, but you can do it manually by editing the registry, I don't happen to know the location of the entry at the moment though, sorry.

edit

"HKCU/Software/microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main" is the location, and I think you change the "UA-Platform"..dunno what to put in there though, the wiki might even have this info, btw
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Tweaks2k2 also has a setting to show PIE as IE6. With a bit of checking might be able to identify which setting in registry is changed.

I ca check on Chaoticdruids:

"HKCU/Software/microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main" is the location, and I think you change the "UA-Platform"..

Can't do this for a couple of hours though. At work Tehehe!!!

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
My bad, I actually took the time to check and its "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft /Windows/CurrentVersion /Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent/" change the "Version" value to "MSIE 6.0" and the "platform" value to "Windows NT 5.1"

and then go into "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft /Windows/CurrentVersion /Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent/Post Platform" and change the "PPC; 240x320" to "SV1"

There might be some more changes too, but I have an eye dr appt in about 45 min, I think a piece of a rosebush is stuck in my eye, I just swapped back and forth between settings real quick in PIEPlus, and noted the changes...very good chance I missed some.

internet

Okay, I loaded tweaks2k2 and tried to go to and access my bank accounts on line. when I enter my username and password, chase goes to a screen where it loads your accounts and forwards you to another page where then you can see your accounts. during the please wait... your accounts are loading the phone hangs and will not be forwarded to the next page... is this like a java scripting error or am I doing something wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damianus:
Hello,

meet somebody after update with this phone behavior: phone would not registred in gsm network, wifi and sound didn´t work? I think this is modem or baseband problem?

EDIT:

this behvavior cause by bad FW, boot and baseband use :)
[One (M8) General] Zorachus:
I have had this HTC One M8 for five months now, and it still impresses me :D I have owned 13 different Android flagship phones the past five years, and I would put this One M8 at the top, especially if running the 'GPE' version. Great design, amazing build quality, awesome sounding stereo speakers that are loud and clear, it's warp speed fast, gorgeous screen, and the battery life, wow.

I just installed a fresh 'GPE' ROM on Monday, and look at these battery life results, this compares to my old Galaxy Note 2, which was a beast on battery.

I unplugged my phone yesterday off the charger at 6:00am, and didn't charge again until bedtime at 11:00pm. I got 6h On Screen time, and total usage of 17 hours. And it was a workday, so major use nonstop for work, two hours of phone calls, hundred texts, GPS Navigation, plenty of web use looking up Vendor sites, etc... And most of this was on the 4G LTE network, only a couple hours of this on WiFi. I was hammering on this phone all day and night, HEAVY use.
[One (M8) General] dressanderc:
I'm known as "that guy who changes phones every 6 months", but I gotta say, I'm hanging on to this M8 for the foreseeable future. I've had mine since about 2 weeks after launch, and my only complaint with my device is not being able to get the dust/whatever it is out of my speaker grills no matter what I try. Other than that 10/10.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Looks really great :o i'm not even able to get that on sense and even wasn't able to get it on GPE...but i think because the phone is for more then 10 hours on mobile data and i just have 2-3 bars because of LTE not in a town it Drains much more Juice :D will try soon again the GPE Rom or at first the Dev Edition RUU
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
glad to hear your synopsis on the phone... though i am late to the party, (since i have just ordered it today) im sure that i will hang onto the device atleast for a couple of years. heard alot of good reviews about this beast and i have no regrets of chosing this over the xperia z2 or z3:D:D
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Can of compressed air with a straw attached will blow out the holes on the speaker grills, unless of course its sticky crap.
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Yes but then you blow it into the phone. I rather have it out of the phone ;)

What i do from time to time (and did with all my phones) is to rub really good sticky tape over the grills and then pull it off including as much dirt as it can get.

:)
[One (M8) General] LenAsh:
One of the main reasons for NOT blowing air with force in to a phone is the amount of dust that finds its way in to camera lenses/glass covers and screen glass... potentially. Clearly this will vary from phone type to phone type - but the risk is there anyway.

(Sony IPxx phones have ingress protection that would probably be damaged by forced air)

Your call.
[One (M8) General] dressanderc:
I've actually tried compressed air, a vacuum, tape, and even silly putty. I don't know what's in there, but it's not coming out.
[One (M8) General] whytechapel_x:
Same here. I am unable to put up with touchwiz but I love sense. With multirom just ported. I can run cm11 and sense. Best of both worlds. 10/10 phone.
[One (M8) General] DinoSoup:
Think you guys have had a lot of phones? I just bought phone number 45 in the last 3 years. The M8 is the longest I've had any phone (same 5 months as OP). Use to change phones as often as every two weeks because craigslist makes it so easy. But I'm sticking to this one! Still enjoy it a lot!

[One (M8) General] NYLUVBUG:
No complaints here. As soon as I got it home. I did all the usual hacks. But I had to RUU in order to get the last update. Been running stock since and I'm still impressed. I've even come to appreciate the camera and have taken some pretty decent pictures.
[One (M8) General] dressanderc:
The camera was a HUGE reservation for me there for a while, until I found the 16MP Photoshop action. Now I love it
[One (M8) General] Mezot:
Had mine for 3 month now, best phone Ive had without doubts.

ViperOneM8 on it, and just new OTA :eek:
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Yeah i bet there will be more over a period of time :rolleyes:
[One (M8) General] Mezot:
Indeed it will! New twrp got multirom. ;)

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[One (M8) General] md1008:
Agreed debating on the Note 4 because I really miss the spen and large screen. Samsung's lackluster support after 12 months especially on the Note Series. (Seems like the "s" series is better supported.) Prevents me from jumping ship. The rumors of a 6 inch NeXus program is really tempting. For now I want to stay HTC :) also in June heard rumors of HTC Prime or the max successor. Haven't heard much of anything on that...I love Phablets!
[One (M8) General] Darth:
Since last November, I've had a moto x, n5 and now an M8. I doubt I'll be getting another phone for a couple years now.

Unless new ones wash my car, do my dishes, read the kids bedtime stories and tuck them in... Then massage my back. ?

Oh, and grocery shop for me.
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
i have had my m8 for merely 24 hours, but im certain that this is gonna be with me for another 2 years... damn im so in love with this phone. its the best upgrade over my one x. respect to htc for making such a beauty :)
[One (M8) General] mattman5000:
I've also had mine for about 5 months. Got it about two weeks after it came out. Definitely my favorite phone so far. My only complaint is that the sleek aluminum body makes it so "slippery". When I first got it, it always felt like it was going to fly out of my hand, so I put a thin TPU case on it. Gives it much more grip, and doesn't detract from its style too much.
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
thats right, luckily i got a case in the box along with the phone, so no complaints :)
[One (M8) General] theandies:
I'm with all of you. :good:

I almost got the original One when it came out but since I was still under contract I just waited. I've had my M8 for about 2 months and I can see it in my hand for another few years. I'm waiting for my warranty to run out to unlock but Sense 6 is so awesome I don't think I'll need to flash ROM's. I'll probably go the multi-ROM route just to play with all the great ROM's out there.

I was a little disappointed with the camera at first, I thought it underperformed but after messing with the manual settings and being able to save those settings is a great feature and really brings the camera to life. My kids love the slow motion video and being able to stitch burst shots together into on picture.

I had a HTC Vivid and an Aria before my M8 and I can say each phone from HTC has been better that the last and that is a big leap since I absolutely loved my Aria. HTC has outdone themselves with this handset.

Oh, I forgot the best part of this phone. I only charge it every two days. I do a lot of Bluetooth use, to my Bose Soundlink Mini speaker and data tethering. My Vivid would not last through the day doing that but this things battery and software power optimization is unbelievable. Since I know just how good the battery life is I don't worry about doing anything during the day when I'm not near a wall socket or my charging brick. I used to carry my charging brick and cable around but now it stays home on my desk. :D Call me a fanboy, I'll wear it as a badge of honor.
[One (M8) General] Zorachus:
The GPE ROM's turn this phone, into the ultimate Nexus phone. Super fast, amazing battery life, and just feels so right.
[One (M8) General] Zorachus:
I also just got the Diztronic case in from Amazon. Wow !!!! Best case ever, fits nice and snug, looks great, cover the front glass.
[One (M8) General] n1234d:
16mp upscaling? Does it make the picture much better?
[One (M8) General] THUDUK:
Thinking of giving the M8 a go, might just be the phone to quell my Swappaholic phone insanity, love the things the camera can do, always been a Sammy fan in the past, but my favourite phone of all time was the HD2, had a ONE M7 briefly, quite liked it, is the M8 that much better?
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
absolutely no doubt.. i have had it since 5 days or so and im very impressed with the overall performance of the phone. I was considering the z2 or z3c however, looking at their bad reputation with self screen craking i did not want to take a chance. Im glad so far that i made the right choice. Cant speak for samsung phones, never used them (and never will) coz i hate the amoled screens!! thats just me though!!:D
[One (M8) General] Shebee:
Same here, I've dropped it many times and have had no problems, like it should be! I also like sense much more than say tw. Battery life has also been just right.
[One (M8) General] aselmani:
As a guy who just recently got my One M8 (after previously owning for a year and a half HTC ONE X+) I am really liking what I read here.

I was in the market for this one for along time now and finally managed to get one.

So far it looks, feels and works superbly - just as advertized.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Rubbish phone

So the HTC one M8....

Not that great, crappy camera, crappy software, outdated chipset, phones looking the same each year from the manufacturer, software updates scarce and buggy..........

Ah hang on, i'm talking about apple :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I love this phone and every one i have had from HTC, each one has had its own little set of challenges with rooting and modding but it's all part of the fun.

I am one fanboy also proud to wear that particular badge...:cyclops::D:good:
[One (M8) General] Sensamic:
Battery life is a concern after 2 years when warranty is over and you can't replace it by yourself.
[One (M8) General] :
My S2 is 3 years old and battery life is as good as the day I bought it. Just saying. ?
[One (M8) General] jshamlet:
Same here. Unfortunately, the battery life wasn't that great on the day I bought it... ;) I still love my Skyrocket, though. Best phone I've owned so far. The One M8 may supplant that, but I haven't owned it long enough to tell yet.
[One (M8) General] kartoonz:
lol... my friends have already tagged me as a htc fanboy, since ive had the one x for 2 yrs. heck call me that, i have no shame in that :highfive:
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
Man, you had me going! I was thinking "this guys is usually really cool, and I thought he liked this phone. I can't believe he's bashing it like that" Haha!
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Haha! ?

Just saw a bit of an opportunity to bash Apple, ;) I ain't going anywhere :D
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
Similarly, I've owned six HTC devices (half with battery that was not user accessible), and used them each from about 1.5 to over 3 years. My kid still uses my HTC Flyer (2011). Didn't notice much (if any) change in battery life over those time spans. Of the devices I've had with a removable battery, I never felt the need to replace the battery.

Yes, battery can fail in the long term, just like any other component. But I'm not going to worry about it.
[One (M8) General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Diztronic is the best inexpensive case I have ever used. I've had them on m8 and e970, both are still in service. Good stuff
[One (M8) General] the_scotsman:
Still love mine. it's taken quite a beating and the corners are scracthed and dented from where I've dropped it. But it still runs great and the battery is still good.

But I'm ready for the M9 now - bored and want new toys!! :D
[One (M8) General] walle4893:
Non-removeable batteries usually last about 500 cycles before they begin to drain. That's roughly a year and a half if you charge your phone with less than 10% everyday.

Considering this 2600 mAh can last merely more than a day with normal/slightly heavy usage I'd say after more than 3 years you just notice the change in battery lifespan (and that's the appropriate time to switch to a better device).

I been with Android since day one, and this phone since it was release. I'm thinking of switching to IOS just to see how it is, especially with the new design and bigger battery.

I do still love my HTC ONE M8

[One (M8) General] LNJ:
Sold my Nexus 5 that I got on release day before the used value plummeted!

Picked this phone up on Sunday and so far I like the build quality. Converted it to GPE but couldn't stand it cause it didn't feel as smooth as my Nexus 5 on stock KitKat....

Converted it back to Sense Brightstar Dev Edition so that I don't keep comparing it to stock KitKat in my head.

There are many instances where the phone has microlags but it's only a stop gap phone till the N6 comes out!

Btw is there a mod to change the Sense launcher grid size?

I don't want to use other launchers other than stock or Google Now!
[One (M8) General] G1_enthusiast:
I just want to try something new, simpler..easier lol android is getting boring since i been using it forever :/
[One (M8) General] shook187:
If you thought Android is getting boring... A week with iOS and its restriction and want you can't do will put you to sleep.

With so much variety of phones and skins over Android like Sense, TouchWiz Sony UI, LG and not to mention custom roms, I'm not sure how you can get bored.... Where as to Apple you get one phone one UI. ZZZ ZZZ

But give it a try guarantee you'll come back, I know I did
[One (M8) General] :
I'm not going to say iPhone 6 would be a bad phone....it's great I'm sure. But....

Imagine getting whatever android phone you wish...And never rooting it. Just living with it as it is out of the box. That's what you get with an iPhone. Though, at least android still has far far more customizable options ,like launchers and a million other things....nope...iPhone is what it is.

To me...that's boredom. I'd last a month with it, at the most. ?
[One (M8) General] LNJ:
I bought a 64gb 5s last week for real cheap just cause I love the design. IOS 8 was pretty nice but my biggest gripe aside from the small screen which I got used to was the keyboard. Even SwiftKey on it was painful! So much wastes space between the keys and so hard to type like a literate person!

HTC One M8
[One (M8) General] shook187:
SwiftKey was horrible on iOS.. And no matter what it never stood as the default keyboard... I was constantly hitting that earth icon to just switch keyboard... Till I finally uninstalled it.
[One (M8) General] G1_enthusiast:
yea but its different and boring lol maybe i'll put my phone down and not flash it so much (or at all).
[One (M8) General] md1008:
I hate that when you "jailbreak" iPhone and start tweeking it to your liking it becomes slowed down and sometimes useless. The quality of apps I say is a real strong point. Even cross compatible apps often times look better on iOS. Why Dev think android doesn't care or wouldn't appreciate them. Maybe it's to make up for apples total lock down like being locked down.
[One (M8) General] jshamlet:
In fairness to Apple, they assume that every iDevice is virtually identical (at the OS level) to every other iDevice on the same OS version, so they don't have a great deal of concessions for people who tweak. Any concessions that are there are probably debug level "features" that weren't intended to be used by regular users. It's not all that dissimilar to people who play with the ECU in their car. Sure, if you know precisely what you are doing, you can improve performance or improve mileage. However, more likely than not, you are going to trash your engine and/or get crappy gas mileage.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just sucks if you don't happen to like things the way Apple likes them.

On the other hand, I will agree that iOS apps tend to be a lot better than equivalent Android apps when they are released on both. My daughter started out playing the "Talking (insert animal)" games on my wife's iPad, and then downloaded them for her Nexus tablet. I was appalled at how different they were, despite ostensibly being the same game. There are exceptions to this rule, but I definitely find the iOS versions of apps to be slicker and better done overall.
[One (M8) General] G1_enthusiast:
well my iphone 6 is here guys, and heres what I notice so far

Pro:

+real fluid...i mean its not fast but its fluid speed, seem constant and no lag. just the way it open and close application seems better than android. notice I dint say its faster.

+screen is definitely better than the HTC one M8 (to my eyes)

+speaker just as loud or maybe -1db less

Cons

-the battery life definitely does not compete with the HTC one M8, I did some real world testing. (pictures later)

-the speaker is good but its place where my hand is and it block it (real frustrating)

-no notification light (wtf?)

-appstore is really annoying asking for password all the ****ing time

-youtube background play is iffy (it pause when u exit the app or background it then play again)

-zedge for ringtone doesnt work unless u install a software on your pc then connect your pc to it

-one hand operation is harder than the M8 because its so slim and small (the M8 have curvature back help with one hand. I find it hard to text and drive (yes I do it, sue me.))

I'll post some picture tonight
[One (M8) General] reubenskelly1992:
IPhone sucks
[One (M8) General] Rtistique:
I think the HTC one m8 is a Bad A$$ phone and one of the best phone on the market. The only place that kill it is the Camera but i'm still able to can take some great pictures with it. I watched a lot of YouTube video, and they show that iPhone 6 kill the HTC one m8 in the benchmark test. So i had to see for myself. And they was wrong, check out the pictures below and compare it to any iphone 6 video on youtube.
[One (M8) General] jshamlet:
What is the point of comparing the M8, or any Android phone for that matter, to an iPhone? Other than the fact that they both make phone calls and run apps, they are totally separate worlds. Believe me, I know, because my wife has an iPad and my daughter has a Nexus 7, and I am constantly have to explain that certain apps are only on one platform or the other...

I actually like a lot about iOS. Unfortunately, what I don't like about iOS can't be fixed, because there is virtually no way to get access to the operating system, and even if you could, few ways to actually modify it in ways that don't break it. You either like and lump it, or leave. However, if you can live within those constraints, it's not a bad system. I've had to "administrate" my wife's iPad, and while I freaking hate having to use iTunes to do anything, I can see why she loves it. It's clean, easy, virtually impossible to break.

On the flip side, I love modding. I have been modding phones since before Android existed, and Samsung phones ran REX. I figured out how to enable services modes so I could actually figure out how much signal I had on my old Nokia candybars. I turned my Samsung Flight II into a "smart phone" because I couldn't afford a true smart phone, and had a ridiculously cheap data plan on top of it. It had Opera, Gmail, Google Maps, a GPS/Compass app, etc. I had to take all of the AT&T bloat off to make room... ;) When I finally got my first android phone, the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, I rooted it within the day. However, it's not for everyone. I've bricked a few phones, had to do complete wipes and restores, etc. more than a few times.

IOW, the iPhone doesn't suck, it just isn't a good fit for the kind of people who frequent this forum.
[One (M8) General] croppz:
I went from the 5s to the M8 last week and couldn't be happier. The 5s was a nice reliable phone but it was too damn small for what I like to do. I almost got the 6 but when I played with it in the store it felt so flimsy and cheap. The m8 feels much better in hand than the iPhone 6 does. iOS is a nice stripped down locked up OS for those that want straight up simplicity but it leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't say the iPhone sucks. It works very well for a lot of people because the software is optimized for the hardware.
