[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Everything is individual, so with a grain of salt, there is absolutely no way in h_ll I'm going near another Samsung phone again. I tried all of the S series as well as the Note 2 & 3. Touchwiz is unbearable (Sense beats it all day, every day), AmoLED screen color saturations su*k, and they feel like my 1 year old's Leap Pad faux phone toy in my hand. Finally, the forward facing speakers are a MUST. Having a rinky-dink single speaker on the back just makes no sense in this day and age.

The M9 is only a "minor" improvement when compared to the M8--compared the crApple iPhoney and Samsung, even the M7 is leaps and bounds ahead of them. (Again, IMHO)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevnube:
And there is a following of Exynos users such as those who want modified kernels such Perseus kernel. They say the same thing about Snapdragon.

If Samsung released kernel source, it would pretty clear that Exynos Note 4 wins hands down. Snapdragon Note 4 is good, but MANY people will only buy Exynos variant. Please don't flame, just illustrating another perspective.

With the S6, I am excited to see what development and kernel options materialize.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Why so eager to update? The M9 or S6 have the faster CPU and higher MP camera i suppose but really the M8 hasnt started to show age yet so why waste the money? Its like upgrading to an i7 2600k to an i7 4770k, sure you have a little more performance but does it really make a difference just yet considering theres little to show it besides benchs?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
gone is the wind
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
My point was just that you put down the m9 and made it seem that the grass is greener over at sammy which is not the case as everything I listed was all documented facts about the s6 and they are not good things.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lucky_strike33:
I would wait as HTC has another announcement at the end of March. Possibly a HTC m9 plus??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
If boring is a total upgrade of all the internals then I guess as far as your concerned it is. Most consider those upgrades anything but boring. I guess your looking for pretty maybe a pink phone may be more pretty to some.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

Most still consider the no sd card slot a major issue, and we will see how long their battery charge holds up to the M9's larger battery and 1080p screen. My money is on the M9 blowing away the s6.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

I"am with you there. I have owned htc smartphones since the evo 4g and maybe it took them a while to actually learn people need an sd card slot and that they need the best software and most power efficiency of any smartphone on the market. I believe htc has come a long way and I"am not going with any thing but htc.

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

For me why not update, as I can end up selling my m8 and basically break even having updated to the m9. Since I keep my phones in a case and screen protector I keep them immaculate and this gets you top dollar as most treat theirs like crap and have them all beat up and scratched up and who wants to buy a phone that was never taken care of.

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

M9 is supposed to be available on the 25th for purchase.

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Yeah I read that and the m9 is available on the 25th. I dont know if I can wait lol. I might get the m9 then switch to the m9 plus. Usually I can at least break even most times on phones.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
Ehh
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I will be getting the m9 on the 25th as I trust htc has their ducks in a row just as they have with the m7 & m8. I think there are a lot of samsung employees on htc forums trying to put down htc. I wouldnt put it past samsung after all they did lie last year about their sales numbers they are probably lieing about their pre order numbers on the s6.

I mean really if your going to lie and pad your sales number what else are you going to lie to the public and stock holders about ? Shame on you sammy... At least htc does not lie to their customers...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevnube:
One thing of primary interest regarding the m9 will be the LTE Carrier Aggregation capability on Verizon.

Hopefully the m9 can have band 13 + 4, 13 + 2, and/or 13 + 4 + 2. Ideally it could support any of the bands as the primary carrier. Time will tell, since they didn't publish that info.

Galaxy S 6 has CA.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
There has been talk for some time about requiring new phones to support all common carrier bands so any phone could be used on any network and with everyone going LTE that makes this idea much easier. And most believe cdma will be on its way out and all will end up being Gsm, it might take until 2020 but I do believe its going to happen with verizon moving to volte so they can convert their cdma over to more LTE.

This would be a good thing as phone manufacturers would not have to make a different version of each phone for each network not that they are probably not the same already as many believe that the phones are the same just that the software added determines the carrier and the bands the phone will receive.

Make phones work on all networks and that will cut down costs for everyone and cut down on the amount of waste going to our landfills also which is a win win.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Konceptz804:
S6 is all glass, no sdslot and touchwiz....touchwiz alone is reason enough to avoid anything galaxy...M9 all the way.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
TouchWiz vs Sense = who cares?

My next phone, like my current M8 and previous Galaxy S4, will be rooted, TWRP installed and running CyanogenMod within minutes of me getting it home and unpacking it!

Is TouchWiz worse than Sense? How to you chose between 2 flat tires? I prefer none of the above!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
It's crazy how different opinions are! I prefer sense over tw and aosp because of its minimalism and integrated user interface.

Main reasons:

HTC camera

HTC FM radio

HTC sense TV

HTC BoomSound

HTC music player

HTC dot view

HTC Weather

HTC gallery

HTC BlinkFeed

AOSP removes all of these which basically strips away so many features that make this phone truly unique...

It's like buying a Lamborghini and then putting body kits, spoilers, and other ricer things.

Keep it cleeaaaann...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Konceptz804:
I can safely say Sense is superior to Touchwiz, and depending on the carrier you cannot always unlock, root, flash your phone. Trust me, I've been modding android phones since the Droid X. The M8 is the first phone I've had that I didn't need to mod. The s6 is going to be a great phone, but no SD slot and glass backing are deal breakers, you get what you want.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Thanks for listing all the stuff I dislike about Sense! Whatever camera is in CM works much better for me than the Sense camera did, BlinkFeed is a horrible annoyance to me and I always get rid of it by using Nova Launcher. Most of the other things you list have equal or better apps in the app store.

Sense is the fake spoilers, body kits, etc. Removing them leaves a leaner, meaner machine that uses about 2/3 or less the storage that the sense ROMs use...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
That is your opinion, which I respect. But to say an app is "better" than another is very subjective. I haven't used my paid version of nova for years as it has been useless and has gotten too gimmicky for me. I prefer OEM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Forerunner326:
How would I upgrade the bootloader from NE4 to NJ1, re-root, install TWRP (I assume that TWRP will get removed from the device so it is needed to be re installed?), and install CM12 for a d2att?

The device is currently running CM11 M11 with TWRP recovery on NE4 bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
check this thread . twrp should remain if just flashing bootloader/modem.

make sure of your bootloader/modem version first.

make a backup in twrp FIRST if havent already.

after flashing nj1 , just download and flash cm12. look for cm for d2lte as builds are now unified.

read read read. make sure of what your flashing beforehand.

good luck.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuamichael:
Alright so I have no idea what I'm doing at all and this sucks. I have an HTC One M8, and I'm with Koodo but I bought the phone from TELUS. Telus and Koodo are big brother and little brother so I never unlocked my phone from Telus before changing to koodo. Anywho, I had the phone for a while and then I was getting a bit bored with it. I thought rooting my phone basically meant jailbreaking it like ios devices so I could play some gameboy games or just play apps for free that I would usually have to pay for. I was wrong. Then I googled jailbreak version for android and saw custom ROMS so I was like oh cool! So I played around with my phone and downloaded fastboot and TWRP. I was then trying to get Viper rom or something like that on my phone and idk why or how but I deleted EVERYTHING. I had no more os on my device. So I followed some guides on how to flash and sideload with adb or something and was able to load on viper. I don't want it anymore. I want my factory new 5.0.1 and sense 6 back and I can't for the life of me do it. I keep finding europe RUU's but just want a stock factory new canadian TELUS version. I creadted a backup but when the os deleted everything delerted even the backup.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Okay. Don't worry, you can fix this.

Download Maximus HD ROM on your PC (it is near stock without carrier bloatware). Transfer that to your extSD and put that into your phone.

With your phone off, hold down the power button + vol down. When you get to bootloader, choose hboot using vol keys to navigate, and power button to select. (it should be at the top and already highlighted)

There will be the option for recovery there. Navigate and select like above (except this time it's not on top). Do a factory reset by selecting wipe. After that, choose install, and direct it to extSD. Choose the Maximus download, and let the magic happen.

Then reboot and your phone should be fine.

Of course, this won't bring you back to 100% stock. It's a way to fix your phone and stay stockish, while retaining root and customizing options.

There is a thread for returning back to stock specifically made for Canadian carriers here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2710735

Black phones always do "cheaper", more plastic...

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dschachm:
I find I don't really need to change the battery that much anymore. The batteries are getting better so if the processor is more efficient you probably don't need the extra battery. I also would give up the SD card for a faster phone.

There is a button combo that will give you the equivalent. Other phones with nonremovable batteries do the same thing and they work fine.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] patrick_1:
I agree, swapping sd cards has always been extremely useful imo. I do love the new design and materials, not to mention the color options, very cool! Yeah the battery life has been superb on the Sammy devices but I personally like having the ability to pull the battery, sometimes a must for me when flashing rom's, kernels..etc.

I believe even now you can simulate a battery pull by holding pwr + vol dwn while the device is on, until it resets.

I have a spare battery for my Note 4, and swap them out regularly. I also enjoy having the added storage cheaper than internal. And the fact that you can have multiple SD cards is always a plus... I hope they dont do this with the next Note also. That would be a downgrade in my eyes.

I think it looks good, sealed battery and no SD a deal breaker? For some it will be. I'll check it out and see how it looks and feels before I make a decision. Sealed battery is no biggie as you can buy an external battery pack. No SD card sucks but at least they offer it in larger capacities.
