[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jackzepplin:
Probably.

This will be a long version of saying YES, so here goes...

I had the M7, loved it. Jumped right on the M8 and "liked" it. My biggest issue with the M8 is kind of a silly one and it's mostly a behavior thing for me. Essentially, I couldn't stand how slippery the lil' bastard was. In my first few days, I dropped it on the pavement just carrying it to my car. Most of the drops were at my desk, just trying to do one-handed input. The thing is large, even for my large hands, so one-handed input was tricky, especially with a slippery phone. Now, most of you probably wonder, "Why the hell don't you just get a case?" Simple. I don't like cases much. I like the feel of the slim device in my hand without extra bulk. Often times, I slip the phone into the back pocket of my Levis. That's where my problems began. Sitting on a 2nd story balcony at dinner one night, my back was to the railing. The phone was so slippery that it slipped out of my back pocket and dropped two stories to the sidewalk below (thank God nobody got hurt). Shattered screen, requested my insurance replacement and got it in two days. The problem was, every single replacement (3 in total) had a blown speaker. After Sprint sending me 3 different replacements, I was so pissed that I switched to the Galaxy S5.

The Galaxy S5 is my first Samsung and now I know why. It's a big ol' piece of sh!t. Slow, clunky, plastic, TouchWiz - need I say more?

Bottom line, I've heard that the M9 has a better grip and isn't as slippery as the M8, so I'm thinking I have to switch back. Just can't handle this Samsung junk. I'll be selling it on eBay with all the accessories (Mophie case, extra battery with a dual charging dock, carbon fiber slim case, and a shatter proof screen protector).

I really want to but I'm so used to the note 3 features like spen that it's going to be tough. Not to mention the much larger screen. I love htc though and dislike touchwiz but have got used to it. I really want those dual speakers though. So badly wanted the prime or larger version.... And I get the reason to stick with the m8 if you have it.. I stayed with the note 3 over the note 4 for the same reasons and am happy I did.

I'm honestly hoping to hold on for the note 5 or if this m9 prime is ever released maybe they will have worked out the bugs of this one first.. So tough when your ready for a change. The wait is grueling but I want to be happy about buying a $600 pocket computer. ..

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AnonSVN:
Going to get mine after I pay my Easy Pay stuff off next week, hopefully there's some form of CM ready when I get it. I'm sick and tired of the G3's development scene, all the GSM variants get the good ROMs while the Sprint variant had to rely on some ducktape & staple version of CM (Seriously, they increased the max volume and tried to fix NFC for the 1000th time and called it a "nightly") . I'll be really excited if CM11.1 gets ported because Holo is damn pretty on the M8 but I doubt it's gonna happen.

Sprint store or Bestbuy?

I revisit this decision every upgrade. Times have changed and are their any benefits to one or the other?

Bestbuy used to carry a better damage warranty/replacement deal long time ago. No frills no questions asked.

No more. They take the monthly charge and no matter what it is, they want another 150$. Plus they dont offer a loaner till you get a new one.

Used to have sprint plan similar to above, but have not since they use assurion.

Your experiences? Comments...

Tony, I know you own this place, but why did you throw it in a lounge? So I will not get any response other than yours?

The other threads in this section is all yours and your posts only. We are trying to help your image. :)

My post was not any worse than all the frivolous posts littering the other areas.

On other forums at least a mod would send a PM to the OP.

How inappropriate.

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Anyone have the M9 yet?

I'm sure alot of ppl will have them soon :D

we need a system dump :D

to dump, either update SDK manager for 5.1 or use the attached zip, extract to folder on pc

-open cmd prompt for that folder

-while in OS, connect usb

-type adb pull system M9_dump

-zip it up & upload somewhere :D

A tidbit of great news
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
I put e-Grip on everything. Using the M8/M9 bare is begging for an accident. I hate cases too. E-Grip keeps it slim but grippy. I don't care what it looks like with e-grip on it.

I had some issues with my first M8 and also tried S5 for quite a while, 6 months. But it drove me nuts (too many issues to list). Some really nice things about it. But it drove me nuts over all, loved the camera.

One thing that drives me nuts on M8 is lack of dedicated back and home buttons. I'm constantly flicking this way and that way to get the nav buttons to come up. Stupid to get rid of them.

Is there a way to Lock them in place? That would be a nice feature for a ROM, I don't care if I lose a little screen.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Apollo1010:
All signs point to yes...

I was one of the ones that saw the m8 as an incremental change so I haven't jumped ship from my m7 yet. I'm just waiting for finances to straighten out a little before I buy. I am a little wary of some of the temp and camera bashing so far, but I have a dslr for one of those issues. Also, about the virtual home/back, I know there was a change they could make to the GSM m7 to turn the HTC logo into a capacitive key, I wonder if that capability still exists somewhere...

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Halaster:
I initially had no plans to get one, as my red M7 I have had since they launched is still pretty much like new and running great.

Sprint hooked me though with their Loyalty offer. I had no interest in leasing an Iphone 6 or Galaxy 5, but Friday I got an email offering that option for the M9, so headed down to my local store and picked up one in Gunmetal Grey.

I like it so far, a decent upgrade over the M7, though it certainly heats up. The addition of the microsd slot finally is great. I almost always end up with a new phone every year and a half to 2 years, so for me leasing is not an issue. Especially not for $5 a month, with no need to sign a new service contract. I have already rooted and have the touch recovery on there, so now I am just waiting for S-OFF.

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] graycorgi:
I imagine most people getting this phone probably came or are coming from the M7. I personally upgraded from the M8 and am giving my old M8 to my friend.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
Same here, I came from the M8. Pretty much the same phone to me. Just a better camera, more memory and better placement of power button. I still go for the top though, LOL. Slowly trying to theme a little bit, but highly more annoying because a few hundred images can't be theme yet in PhotoShop or Gimp. Wish HTC would hurry up and publish my theme already.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] cstrife999:
Dude the phone isn't even a month old chill out..
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] deakelem:
it will pick up in the next few months. The m7 was slow at first too so was the m8 (little faster than m7). The only phone that really took off instantly was the n5.

on another note I actually got LTE roaming today, so its nice to know it works.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] graycorgi:
I thought LTE roaming was going to work like native coverage? Or was that just a rumor?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] outofluck:
According to GSAM, I get on average 18 hours 38 minutes (7 hours 4 minutes active) and my SOT on average is 4 hours 25 minutes (4 hours 37 minutes max). I use auto brightness, and I'm fully stock. I have 5 different email addresses syncing all the time and I make a lot of calls; I'm primarily on data for most of the day (LTE) whilst I browse the web and reddit. For fully stock (I have not rooted or unlocked the bootloader yet) that basically means I'm easily making it through the day despite moderate-heavy usage on a regular basis. I would imagine Bad Boyz has even better battery life so I am definitely pretty pleased with the results thus far.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] phillip1953:
Just got my M9 a week ago. I had a perfectly fine M7, but Sprint offered me the M9 for free. And with no contract extension, I couldn't pass. I'm liking it so far. My only complaint is it keeps asking if I want "Kids Mode" each time I exit the "car dock" mode.

I'm getting my money worth from my old Evo 3d car mount. First I Dremeled the edges to fit my M7. Now I've ground it a bit more to fit my M9. Needed a bit of hot glue, but it fit.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] misfit0313:

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] chimpsinties:
Hi everyone. I'm trying to work out where my phone actually came from. I got it on ebay boxed and "as new" but 2nd hand. Very happy with it so far. However, I wonder if I've actually got a Sprint variant even though I live in the UK, and also does it actually matter?

When I got it was a seemingly fresh install but S-OFF already by the look of it which I was quite surprised about. Here's what it says in HTC Download Mode (I've since unlocked and and flashed it with Leedroid):

*** UNLOCKED ***

htc_himawhl PVT S_OFF

CID-11111111

LK-1.0.0.0000

RADIO-3.00.C1144084@60114

OpenDSP-15.6.1.00522.8994_1026

OS-3.41.651.41

Nov 2 2016,19,19:25(695981)

I used to say *** locked *** and have OS 3.41.651.4

It kept saying it needed an OTA to take it to 3.41.651.13 but after downloading and running it loads of time it just kept failing so I took to flashing the latest firmware myself then thought I'd try and other rom since it was formatted anyway.

So I'm wondering. Is it a indicator that it's a Sprint phone because it has 3.41.651.4 on it. The only thing I could find mentioning that firmware was the firmware thread in this specific Sprint forum. That's basically why I upgraded the firmware by following the instructions in that thread to rename the RUU to 0PJAIMG on the SD card. I tried flashing just the recovery but even though it said it worked, the version never seemed to change.

Another question. If it is a Sprint phone but I'm not on Sprint, does it matter? Can I flash any firmware or indeed rom that I like. I don't need the specific Sprint features as I'm on a UK network (plusnet which is basically EE). I flashed Leedroid and it tells you to select Sprint via Aroma when you set it up but I'm wondering if this is actually necessary for me (I'll ask over there too). When I boot the phone up it asks me to "Activate" it. I assume with the Sprint network and there's an extra setting in the settings menu to do this but obviously it doesn't work as I'm in the UK.

Lot of questions I know but would really appreciate some clarity. Feel free to point me in the direction of some pages or threads where I can find this info it's just in nights of googling I've not found definitive answers yet. I'm getting on ok with it as it is at the moment but would like to know my options.

Cheers

Hi all, I have a QTEK 9100.

I installed the cab to unhide the extended ROM folder and after a soft-reset I installed Windows Commander/CE 2.0 on my device and when I try to browse Extended_Rom folder I have access but some files names are "unreadable" (I mean, weird characters) and report an impossible file size (example 3.03 GB!)

My question is: Is my Extended_Rom damaged or encripted? How can I get access to it? :confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Your extended rom is corrupted and recoverable only by flashing a new one into it. Either you deleted or tried to write something to it and that is NOT possible via file exploring; the only way to write to the extended rom is via RUU updater or via DOC writing (both ways require a 10MB image/backup)

Check my tool as it allows to write to the extended rom zone and unhide it as well without damaging it ;)

Have you tried manually downloading/installing the latest Google Play Services apk? Reboot your phone immediately afterward, see if that fixes the problem. If you still have the issue, try installing the apk one more time and immediately rebooting again. I had this exact problem after a completely fresh install of 5.0.1 a month ago and I had to install the apk twice for it to be solved. (I linked you to the latest correct apk for a Nexus 5--the description at apkmirror says you need to check/verify the last 3 digits of your existing installation; don't worry, on the Nexus 5 you need the -438 version.)

Looking Good....

Latest ROM version is 1.33.90605.313. Very stable. No overheating, despite rumors to the contrary. Sense home widget has been improved (some extra baggage is removed/removable). Terrified of what bloatware Verizon will insist they include. Does anyone use Verizon Cloud? Seriously. I wish they'd lose the mealtime suggestions in Blinkfeed. Really stupid, IMHO. Maybe others think it's cool. Theming is very nice touch. I've used a couple of different astronomical images and created color schemes based upon the images. It's a nice touch. Even icons and sounds can be "themed".

I can't comment on battery life. There is a plethora of diagnostic and logging software running in the background so I can't get a real world feel. I did shut it all off one day and got what would be about 12 hours extrapolated with normal use and no effort at powersaving.

I almost always run my M8 on regular powersave mode. I would imagine that the battery life on the M9 would be equivalent or better if run in that mode.

I read a bunch of posts about how HTC is good about letting people unlock their phones and install a custom recovery like TWRP. I am wondering if this will be true for the Vz version of the M9.

I just read that HTC will offer an unlocked, unsubsidized M9 for $650 that will support AT&T bands. Sounds unfortunate that there will be different models for different carriers vs. one version for all the carriers.

I am very interested in the M9 as a replacement for my 2 year old S4 with MDK that is running a GPE ROM. I only want pure Google on my devices.
