hehe youre right. well, i tried :)

heres some photos.

- middle (where the cable "splits" below the headstrap and then hides behind the facepad)

- right side (earplug remote disappearing between velcro, earplug coming out with just enough "buffer" - you do have approx. +-4 centimeters buffer here depending on how you wrap it)

- left side (rest of the cable wrapped around the velcro area, earplug coming out in the back, headphone jack coming out in the front).

it takes a bit of fiddling when you do it like this (one could use some tape to make it more elegant, just didnt have any around atm), but its really a handy solution IMO. the "gear VR as ONE thing instead of two things" perception is really the key selling point to me.

My problem is this:

I cannot find ROM for my forcebook mobile anywhere (the fake spreadtrum mobile running on android 2.3.5)

I searched everywhere including "needrom.com" ,but with no luck.

I wanna know if anyone have or ever seen such ROM .pack file for download because im going crazy.

I can easily put any ROM on my mobile but i need correct version of this fake mobile. I dont wanna have it bricked,just want to fix it and continue using it.

I will post some info about it.

I sold my M7 to get the M8 and I think I will be doing the same for the M9. I am really hoping a 5.5" HTC One Plus does end up releasing with the QHD resolution, but I'm not holding my breath. It looks like HTC is minimizing the bezels with the M9 so I was hoping they would squeeze out a 5.2" screen as the default for a bit more screen real estate. I am really happy with the M8 and it is really snappy so I feel like I should just stick with it, but I love having the latest and greatest.

What about you guys?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] loonatik78:
Five inches is plenty of screen for a phone. More than plenty, really. People have been saying for a long time that smartphone makers are just groping for gimmick features to get folks to buy a new phone and I tend to agree for the most part. The M8 is a much refined evolution of the M7, but I just don't see the M9 as being all that much more improved. Bigger is certainly not what this phone needs. I'm going to wait to see 2nd or 3rd generation 64 bit devices before I start seriously looking.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xceebeex:
The only reason I might make the jump is for the camera.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RemnantKing2:
If they have some kind of deal to trade in your m8 for a discounted m9 then sure, if not then I am sticking with the m8 for two years.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wileout:
Im getting it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Hell yea I'll be getting the M9 on launch day
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sjpritch25:
I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I can upgrade in may & I'll probably get the M9. However, I'm on unlimited data, so I might just buy the M8 to keep unlimited data.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Budwise:
Depends on how unlockable it is.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kbrn:
I'm usually the guy that upgrades after a year ... but honestly I've been so satisfied with my M8..

If there's only one thing I need right now it's a better camera (don't get me wrong I'm not one of those that hates the camera on the m8) but it could've been better...

Besides that I'm good for another year pretty much lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
Once Sunshine works to S-Off....I'm upgrading
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ldjr:
This!

I will wait to see how bad VZW locked it down before I pull the trigger. I can live with just root but S-Off would be best.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mtva24:
I'm getting the One M9 Plus and hoping that it is 5.5 inches rather than 5.2
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sjpritch25:
Yeah, my sgs3 is working fine, so i'm in no hurry to upgrade. I'm a little disappointed with the m8 camera, so I might just wait till M9 is S-OFF.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
jcase and beaups have been treating HTC devices like a red headed step child (no offense to any out there lol) for awhile now....I have full faith in them they'll Sunshine the M9 up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] joshw0000:
If it's unlockable (or at least rootable), I'll get one. HTC is one of the few manufacturers still building in SD card slots. If they'd make a removable battery they'd be perfect. Unless I want to jump ship to TMo or Sprint, Samsung is out of the picture for now. Options are becoming more and more slim every year. I'm sure I'll own a M9 at some point.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] uberalbo:
Im ok with not having Quad+ HD if it help battery life......which it does.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Cremacious:
I'll wait. I got the M8 close to launch and feel that it still holds up very well. Rather than upgraded a small amount to the M9, I'll upgrade to the M10 and be wowed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Sign me up..HTC m9 won't be a bad 2nd device. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
I cant wait for the M9, Few things that got me. 1- 20MP camera, 2- Larger Battery, 3- 8 core CPU, and 4- the 3GB DDR4 RAM. In a few months, i wont be having access to a computer for some time, so the M9 will take that place. All the power and camera i can ever need. Im thinking of just putting a Custom de-bloated ROM and a custom Kernel with full control. Hopefully when it comes out, Sprint will be having their unlimited data, call, and txt plan still available, so i can still update it and what not when im not anywhere near a computer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kirkcody:
Kinda upset that HTC is trying to pull an apple here with the hardware, ive only owned htc devices since 2008 :confused::crying: HOPEFULLY THE LEAKS ARENT THE TRUE DESIGN.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
Well, Almost EVERYTHING about the M8 was perfect. i think the only 2 gripes were the camera, and power button position. So, why fix stuff that isn't broken, works perfect, and everybody loves? besides, its not like apple where the design of the phone literately hasn't changed since the iPhone 3Gs or Samsung with the galaxy series.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
No. My M8 is still a top notch device. No need for me to upgrade. Maybe when the M10 comes out. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Frankie1588:
I think I am actually going to stick with my M8 after seeing more leaks. The M9 looks VERY similar to the M8. I was really hoping for them to use the design in the leak shown here:

It turns out it is actually going to be the M9 which is shown here:

http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/24/htc-one-m9-video-leak/

The main reason I was interested in the M9 was the possiblity of reduced bezels. The raw power of the M8 is still fantastic for me and I have no issues. I was only planning to upgrade for cosmetic reasons. The only reason I am slightly considering the M9 still is for the improved camera. I may just wait until the M10 though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
I'm waiting for the M754, I should have the M8 paid off by then..... :crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Alton (Halo 2):
We'll have to judge the design when the phone actually gets revealed, because some of those might be fake. But either way I'm getting this phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ivanov13:
The only thing I needs to be improved in my M8 is the camera. I didn't say "fixed" because it's not broken! It takes beautify pictures, but more Mpixels would make it perfect! It seems like M9 will have very good camera. I'm getting One for sure.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mlin:
I'm getting one as long as the camera doesn't disappoint.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

I have a hard time believing the phone in this video to be the M9. It looks completely unchanged from the M8 on the front. Even the M7 to M8 redesign had noticeable differences, my hope is this is a ploy by HTC to distract from the (hopefully) actual design shown in your images above.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I will be getting the m9 one day one. I never had any problem with the m8 or m7 and I have had many of both. I think the whole camera thing was all in peoples heads I think most complained about it based on the mp size and not the performance of the camera at all. Every m7 and m8 I have had would take excellent pictures so I think most people that complained about the camera either didnt know how to use a camera correctly or they based their complaints on the mp size which omg its only a 4 lol every other phone has a 18 or 20 and our m8 has a 4 lol.

These phones have been the best on the market and these nay sayers need their heads examined.

People are always going to find something to complain about which the camera on the m8 is not a legit complaint as far as I"am concerned as the ones I have used have been awesome and I have picture proof being an on line seller I use mine to take crystal clear pictures of my items and these pics get supersized on line so that is how good my m8's pics come out.

And on design my philosophy as most peoples is if its not broken why fix it and the m7 and m8 design was never broken, its not like either was made of cheap plastic or plastic with some kind of vinyl crap glued to the back like anothers companies phones were talk about cheap and tacky lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Droid0351:
If you want to keep your unlimited data this is what I did to upgrade to this phone on black Friday weekend. I went online and went to bestbuy.com and upgraded to through them. When you go through the upgrade process it will give you an option to keep existing plan. Make sure you check that. Make sure you have the phone sent to you at home. As soon as you get the phone do not power it on. I repeat do not power it on. You need to remove the preinstalled sim card. Once you removed the sim card, insert your sim card from your old and power it on. Make sure you destroy the other sim card that came with the phone. When the phone powers up you should still have your unlimited data still. It worked for me. Here is the link that will explain it alittle better. I used #6 method

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Icyman:
Sorry but this isn't the phone. Where are the speakers? Am I really the first to notice this...

I'm definitely getting it. My plan has 3 M8's and 2 DNA's. I have 2 upgrades waiting for me to use. The DNA's will be on ebay the following week.

If you have an upgrade it's totally worth it. you will sell you M8 for about the same price as the new phone with line upgrade discount.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
They've been reduced in size. Look at the top and bottom edges of the phone. The thin black line in the center. ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Icyman:
But it's not the M9. The promo video is out and this ain't it. We will see who's right Sunday. :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
I have no idea if it's right or not. I just know they made the speakers smaller. At least that's what they say. Was just pointing that out. :)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Frankie1588:
Yeah, I am kinda bummed out that they stuck with the same design for the most part. I understand "if its broke, don't fix it", but I was hoping for a new design. The biggest gripe I have with the M8 is that bottom bezel. I want that bezel gone under the screen. I also don't particular care for the plastic speaker grilles. The M8 is still a gorgeous phone and I get compliments on it all the time when it is sitting on my desk. The cosmetic differences from the M7 to the M8 were great, but they seemed to have played it safe with the M9.

The M8 is still plenty powerful for me so a jump to the M9 would mostly be for cosmetic reasons. The new camera will be an upgrade for sure, but why did they have to use a square design? It looks terrible compared to the circle design. I was really hoping for an all glass front M9 like in the photos I posted above. Still unsure if I am going with the M9 day one. May hold out for the M10.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sjpritch25:
It looks a little wider.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elander:
I read somewhere (can't remeber where) that when the leaks started HTC said that the had something different in mind, like they kinda hinted that those leaks where fakes released by then to somehow create some sort of "counter-hype", and although everything points to the m9 looking just like a "refreshed" m8 I can't help but think that maybe they where doing this on purpose and then will come with a much better looking phone, and maybe I'm a bit paranoid or too picky but those leaked videos don't seem very well made, there are parts where the phone looks CGI'ed and theres also the other video with the lightings and thunders on the back while the show the phone's design doesn't look very well made . I dont know, they might have leaked before the were "retouched" but I wouldn't be surprise if the whole thing was actually staged by HTC and they end up giving us a much better looking phone that that "M8.5" that has leaked lately.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfobrien:
Camera is not a deal breaker for me or I wouldn't have gotten the M8. From what I've seen so far I see no reason for an early upgrade. May eventually get it but for now the M8 is good for me and my usage.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] grimlocksmash:
To keep my unlimited data I buy phones outright. M9 doesn't seem like it's worth the upgrade at this point. Will be sticking with my m8 for the foreseeable future. Was hoping for a little bit more from this offering. Maybe next year.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sjpritch25:
I too want to keep unlimited data, so it looks like i'll be buying the M8. My last HTC device was the incredible 2. lol:D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Its nice because it's an improvement on almost all fronts, but maybe not enough of an improvement to justify upgrading just yet.

The main reason I'd consider doing it is because my M8 occasionally suffers from the "No Sim card inserted" issue. I've tried everything to fix it but it always comes back.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Time to go Samsung...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Yeah time to go to samsung if you dont want an sd card slot lol, and you want their copy of an m8 lol, and htc has the most dev support of custom roms and s-off unlocking.

The m9 is far better than the s6 sammy made a big mistake leaving out the sd card slot and they pissed off a lot of people removing the changable battery.

And htc build quality and software just blow away sammy, oh and their amoled screen is going to eat up that battery the m9's battery is bigger and will last far longer on the 1080p screen anything more than 1080p is a waste on a smartphone screen htc picked up that people would rather have a battery that lasts all day than be a wall hugger always looking to plug your sammy in lol.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Its called if its not broken dont fix it. The m9 is a true upgrade, it has a better camera on both sides, a larger battery, faster processor, 3 gigs of memory, and kickass boom speakers anyone with a brain knows this phone will rock and will be getting one I sure will be on day one.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Wow, relax man. Didn't mean to hit a nerve. I'm just a little disappointed that HTC is still playing it so cautious. Doesn't really matter to me as I can't get either one atm.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] troysbama1:
I'm disappointed myself that the phone isn't smaller in size while maintaining the same screen size. However, as long as HTC is the only one offering the SD card slot, they'll be the only manufacturer I consider.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Amen to this. An SD slot is a big deal to me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
Nah.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Relax ? All I did was mention the facts, what nerve ? If you want to buy an inferior sammy phone that is your prerogative. I was only pointing out that the grass is not greener on the other side at sammy. Some may be disappointed with no real cosmetic changes from m8 to m9 but a lot of us are happy with no exterior changes as the saying goes if its not broken dont fix it.

I"am all for everyone's opinion but the facts show that the s6 will be an amoled screen battery draining smartphone with no sd card slot and no longer a removable battery they copied the iphone I mean the im8copyphone and so did sammy.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thrasher194com:
Not sure about the specs for s6/ but the m9 doesn't seem to be much better then my m8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Specs notwithstanding, I'll probably stick with HTC if they continue to be unlockable. Samsung used to be development friendly but now they're locked up tight.

Guess there's always the nexus 6
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jakesteed:
No, because I already have a great phone with a ****ty camera (the M8!)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lucky_strike33:
I think i might try the s6 for 13 days and then try the m9 for 13 days.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MarkLI88:
I will be sticking with my M8 for a while longer, it still does everything I need, I may go with the M9 further down the road. I too need SD, I use my phone as my music player and like to keep all my music on the SD card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Budwise:
Neither the M9 or S6 seem like a great upgrade.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
As a Samsung hater, I'm going with the s6 this year
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gleggie:
M9 seems like an incremental update, and the S6 has no SD card and terrible battery life. Gonna wait for the M10 and S7
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lord Alekosh:
Terrible battery life? I'll need a source for that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Frankie1588:
Yep, I have finally decided to hold onto the M8. The lollipop update breathed some new life into my device and I am fine with it for the foreseeable future. The M9 is not a big enough leap IMO. I will wait for the M10.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thrasher194com:
I do love having unlockable boot loader. Ill stay with HTC devs seems to have better Roms and kernel Tweak's.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gleggie:
1440p display + smaller battery
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blestsol:
After their software update for the camera, if its actually completely improved ill consider it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I would try the m9 first then since the m9 will be out on the 25th before the sammy.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

I have had quite a few m8's and every one of them the camera worked great. I think most only complain because they see 4 mp which they base their complaint on the number and not the actual performance of the camera. My m8's always took professional looking pics. I dont know maybe some might be not knowing how to use it correctly.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Faster processor, another gb of ram, better speakers with dolby, 20.7 mp camera and better front camera, moved power button which people wanted and a larger battery. If you dont call them updates then I guess maybe you might work for samsung lol.

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

The m9 is a complete revamp on the inside, how is that an incremental update ?

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

I feel like the M8 will last solidly for at least another 3 years or so
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I would agree for the most part but I think the extra gb of ram on the m9 will make a big difference to a lot of people as I have my m8 on barebones and I use up a lot of the memory on mine at times as it is and apps seem to be using more and more and more and more apps added to the operating system it seems also.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] masseurca:
No QHD screen is just not acceptable. And the plus version might only be 5.2". I am probably going to the Nexus 6 tomorrow.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Actually most people want the 1080p screen because anything more is just a waste of battery power. Which if you put them side by side can you really tell the difference ? I mean you don't watch tv in that the most your tv can be is 1080p so isn't really anything more than 1080p just a complete waste ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You won't be disappointed with nexus 6. I have had one sense start of feb an I love it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JayCizzo:
No interest in the M9, especially now that I'm running Lollipop and Sense 7 on my M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bill3508:
Probably going to pass on the m9. As long as there is enough development with the m8 I'll stick with that. Tigerstown liking the N6 is interesting though as it seemed hit or miss with that phone but I might check one out for the hell of it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EdCarden:
Nope. The M8 has better looking hardware and from what I've been reading and seeing the M9 just isn't a big enough upgrade from the M8 in terms of specs. Most of the stuff that excites me about the M9 is more to do with Sense 7, which we should be getting relatively soon (within the next couple months I hope).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lucky_strike33:
There are roms with sense 7 in development. YOu can get it NOW! :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mpappas87:
I really like the non removable battery I think it makes the build quality on the phones so much better. Phones with removable batteries generally feel like craps to hold.

Speaking for myself I might get an m9 but not for quite a while if I do. Not much of an upgrade except the camera and I rarely take pics so it is not a selling point for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Well, just got a chance to check out the att variant at BestBuy, and wow, I am not impressed. My m8, running IC 7.04 m9 port takes better pictures. Overall build quality is comparable and the power button placement is better, but that still doesn't make me want to make the jump.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I ordered my gunmetal m9 this morning. Any one that wants to open new service you can get a $150.00 visa prepaid debit card as a rebate when you sign up for new verizon service on the comcast xfinity web site. You dont have to be a comcast customer and no you dont have to sign up for comcast service either.

All you do is get new verizon service through them and it lists you will get your $150.00 visa prepaid card with in 6 weeks of activation. If you upgrade on a new phone through them you can still get a $50.00 card also.

This is a great deal because after getting this $150.00 prepaid visa card my new m9 will only end up costing me $50.00 and that is a heck of a deal.

This deal makes it a lot easier to pull the trigger on getting a new m9 and that is a no brainer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I'll be grabbing a m9 as my 2nd phone. I pay full price for my phones so 599 isn't bad price..I just can't decide if I want for s-off or just grab it on launch day. I have owned every HTC flagship sense day one so no need to change that. Will it be my DD probably not as my nexus 6 is the bomb..but we will see.
