The experience should get better in the coming months when more updates are released. Right now the M8 is a safe bet, it's a proven device that we all know is good. The only issue people have with it is the low resolution camera.

Now for the M9 we can see that it's having issues right out of the gate. Camera is iffy, battery life is iffy, and screen is iffy. All of these have the potential to be improved upon with software updates, we just don't know if it's guaranteed to happen. However we'll most likely see updates on all of these issues.
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
Many people, who needed just a mobile phone, mistakenly, due to the look and shape similarities, bought HTC and then expressing here their dissatisfaction with profound posting various crap about the camera shots, battery usage, SOT, heat emitted by 8 cores of modern CPU, etc - when acquiring a completely wrong implement is simply their own mistake in the first place..

So, please, first learn and understand what you are to exchange your money for..
[One (M9) General] Clegg2015:
If I said I could get the m9 for £499 due to discounts from a family member or m8 for £318, would you think any different and again which would u go for? Will the m8 stray running slower the more htc updates phones as my iPhone 5 has?

Hmm mines 1.32.502.9 I keep trying to update but it says it's up to date. And i ran a benchmark once and the phone got pretty hot
[One (M9) General] MattMJB0188:
Same here. I have the unlocked version running 1.32. 617.6. Phone got warm during benchmarks. It never got hot to the point where I had to put it down though.

[One (M9) General] bigballa:
Mines never gotten to hot where I have to put it down but even my M8 didn't get warm when I was doing the same tasks. Its crazy. Plus I can't get the phone to last more than 8-9 hours. Which isnt even a work day haha. Wtf mate
[One (M9) General] graffixnyc:
1.32. 502.9 on my AT&T version. I don't really notice it get overly warm during normal usage. I don't run benchmarks so I wouldn't know if it warms up much then, but during real world every day use I really don't feel it to be hotter than any other device that gets warm when it's under load. I do notice it get warm with my turbo charger but that charger has made every phone really warm in the back when charging it (Moto X, Nexus 6, Moto Maxx)

Second that DrBrick, I just got my Developer Edition today and minutes after finishing the basic set up I got the same Update. Same thing I forgot to read the notes..:(
[One (M9) General] godefroi:
Got my new M9 today, here's what I think

It's a big device, for only having a 5" screen. My Galaxy S4 has a 5" screen, and even with a case on it, it's significantly shorter.

It's a pretty device. Wow, it's pretty. For everyone disappointed about the looks, some of us didn't buy a new phone in 2014, and this thing is pretty.

AT&T still knows how to royally mess up a ROM. Damnit, AT&T.

The jury's out on Sense. Hard to know what's Sense and what's AT&T's bloatware. Having used a GPE ROM on my S4 since pretty much forever (I have a rare MDL version), it's like a whole other OS.

What the heck is up with ads showing up in notifications by default? Yeah, new Jawbone bluetooth earpiece. I'm so happy to know that.

Now, if I wanted to bypass Sense and just run a real launcher, can I just install it like normal, or will Sense block it?

Moderator Edit: Language
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
There's no obstacles to install and use any third party launcher - better you learn Sense though..
[One (M9) General] godefroi:
Why? I didn't like TouchWiz, and from the looks of it, I won't like Sense. That's why I go Android, though (and this time around, specifically, HTC), because I can *change* it if I don't like it.

Also, does anyone know what needs to be disabled to prevent the stupid notifications showing up?
[One (M9) General] stevedebi:
Yes, I use Apex on mine. I vastly prefer the additional flexibility.
[One (M9) General] Nilsonf:
Might be an app that you have installed that's causing the notifications
[One (M9) General] stevedebi:
Depends on the notifications. Some of them are in setup, but in general each application has to be turned off individually. I just got a notification from Waze, and went in there to turn off those notifications. A lot of programs have them, like Amazon App Store, etc. Basically, see who is doing the notification, and then go to that program's settings.
[One (M9) General] godefroi:
Must've been BlinkFeed. I disabled that, and now they're gone.
[One (M9) General] Prasad:
Rooted app: Notifications Off
[One (M9) General] stevedebi:
Wow, surprising there wasn't a menu setting to turn them off.
[One (M9) General] godefroi:
There might've been, but I didn't find it. I didn't disable the app itself, just removed the home screen panel. Once I did that, they were gone.
[One (M9) General] smudgelab:

[One (M9) General] mattkle:
Okay had my phone for almost exactly 21 hrs. Came with earphones by the way.

I came across from the m7 , which is unfortunately bricked with no solution as of yet.

So I finally had enough after running with my DHD for 3 days and decided its time to admit defeat with my m7.

So I picked it up from Optus yesterday at 4:30 pm. Why HTC and not Samdung some may ask?

HTC m9

Pros:

* my m7 is bricked so had to make the change and the Mrs said OK ?

* Bootloader can be unlocked

* HTC supports OS developement

* better bigger screen then my m7

* more storage than my m7

* supports micro SD , my main hate about my m7

* Boom Sound, wow I'm awe struck. Sounds heaps better side by side to the S6 (comparison done in store)

* sense 7 and lollipop

* m9 development has some of the best devs we've seen in the past decade supporting the device.

* camera is better, not sure what all the complaining is all about. Buy a camera if that's all you want a phone for.

* build quality and materials A1

* snappy and responsive

* Data / phone plan offer cheaper and better then S6

Cons

* Optus doesn't have the sexy gunmetal gray handset

* too soon and yet to fault anything else.

Samsung S6 / S6e

Pros

* looks nice, the edge nearly had me

* a step forward in design from its predecessor

* good quality screen

* good quality camera

Cons

* screen, albeit 4k better ppi etc. No advantage as software / games and movies are yet to take the jump. Give it 3 or 4 years when this catches up and it will be worth the while. By then it will already as a phone be out dated.

* sound is disappointing

* touch wizz, what a joke so clumsy and not custimizeable, first thing I would do is change the launcher.

* no expansion for storage

* slippery in hand, all glass construction. Yuck give it one drop and it will be the last of it. So many friends with the S5 have already replaced screens once or twice already.

* okay if you want an iPhone clone with Android.

* you want larger storage phone you pay extra just like the iPhone

* development support is little if not at all. And the devs/ community are less helpfull and friendly

* doesn't do anything better which the m9 can't do.

It was only 30% charged OTB. I had a sporting commitment after for my son so during that time I took the opportunity to actually switch her on and run though setup. I installed all apps from backup etc, setup the phone and had it switched on screen for at least one hour straight.

Got home at 7:30 pm and continued to download OTA updates, my drive files music etc all whilst surfing net and checking phone functions. Put her on charge at about 9pm for full charge. Once completed did some more playing around with it whilst checking emails etc.

Put her down for a few hours while I played Destiny on PS4 then listened to music in bed for about an hour. Put her back on charge about 9:30 am this morning with 20% battery remaining. It indicated approx 2 hours left on standby.

With hectic file transfers and surfing and gaming I think it held up. No real noticeable heat issues, in fact my m7 would get hotter.

So overall I'm happy with my choice
[One (M9) General] Prasad:
Expressed my thoughts perfectly! Nice comparison, by the way.

[XDA Assist] Moti030:
I Know I aleady posted a thread like this, but it was closed before a found a solution, please dont close this one too!

I have an old smartphone (model specified above), which I have tried to find a root for it (like FOREVER), every single root I found wasn't able to do the job. Either the program alerted me that the phone is not supported , or tried to root and failed. I have looked into other threads with the same problem, and they either didn't have a solution, or simply directed me towards stickys with rooting programs that also didn't work.

I want to root it so I can uninstall some of the build-in apps that I dont use (such as facebook, youtube, and out-of-date & un-updateable operator apps.). They function poorly, take up space, and worst of all: they run in the backround (and on old phones such as this every megabyte of RAM counts.) Please help me.

Is there something I'm missing? A vital step a skip or something? Do i need to unlock the bootloader to root?

I probably have a custom ROM of the operator this phone was originally purchased from, does it make any difference?

If Anyone can explain to me step-by-step what and how to root, or point me to a usefull guide, i will be forever thankful.

The file attached is a example to one of many failed roots.

Hello!

You may think this is a newbie question but I haven't found an clear answer to my question:

My gf has an locked Samsung SII Plus - I9105p (locked on Orange - Romania), curently running on Android 4.1.2. It runs very slow so I want to update it to some 4.4.2 found on the internet. Can I do this without sim unlocking the phone, is it gonna work?

*note: the 4.4.2 i'm talking about is not an official Orange - Romania OS. Kies tells me there is no newer version for this phone. Truth is that I heard the Orange team here in my country is very low on human resources so they didn't bother releasing anything new for this phone, and I don't blame them.

Thanks in advance!

ok, you need to flash the rom that the device came with ( o2, cingular, vodaphone, tmo etc) then cid unlock

i understood that..but i don't know what rom do i need, because i have brought at second hand, from a guy, and it was in french, and i tried to install in english, but stucked on 98%

you'll have to try each french rom until one works

i can only see 2 french roms on the wiki, both are qtek, is that what your wizard is branded as?

also try the 'button rom' and then cid unlock

it worked..thanks, without cid unlock, but thank you anyway for you time
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bbobeckyj:
now, you must cid unlock before flashing another rom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ady_uaic:
i tried to do that, and when i want to downgrade to button's 1.05 ROM it's getting stucked on 98%
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ady_uaic:
now..i've made it again...i have wm5 on it..i made cid unlock, but my problem is that every time i try to install wm6 on it, it appears to me wm5...why? with each version
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] JoelC:
OK... two things - firstly, have you gone through ALL the steps in the stickied G3 unlocking thread? You mustn't miss any out, no matter how long it takes.

Secondly, what operating system is on the PC you're trying to unlock from?

One more thing - when your device starts from a soft reset, please write down and post the IPL and SPL numbers that appear on the first boot screen.

OS not changing after a flash is a classic sign of not being CID unlocked. You may be SIM unlocked, but note that this is NOT the same as CID unlocked.

My phone is rooted and still running 4.4.2 with bloat removed. The other day I decided to install TWRP Manager and upon opening it up, it gave me an option to install TWRP v2.8.5.0. So I installed it and my phone would not boot back up, just stuck in TWRP. So I found this zip file LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip on XDA that allowed my phone to boot back up. But now at least once a day it reverts back to TWRP and is stuck there until I install the zip again. Anyone know how to stop it from doing this?

Hi,

Before I say anything, let me tell you (and the mod) that I know there are several posts on the same topic (and an excellent one on Unite 2) already but I am so new to this that I can't understand anything in any of those posts. So, dear mod, please do not delete my thread.

Now, I just want one thing and I would be very, very much grateful if I got a brief and exact answer.

1. Which are the best custom ROMs for Micromax Unite 2 and Samsung Star Pro?

- I know people have several favourites. I'd still like to research before trying them. Google gives me too much info.

2. How to root and install ROM on both the devices. (detailed guides) Please provide links if you can.

3. I personally love Cyanogenmod but last I checked their website, they had nothing for the phones I'm looking to root. Please help!

One stupid question: Is it in any way possible to install ROM without rooting? I'm desperate because

a. Samsung Star Pro is slower than a lame tortoise.

b. Micromax Unite 2 has a shorter memory than a goldfish.

Help PLEASE!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surojit Ghosh:
No one has anything to say? No help? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well had you followed the rules you would know there is no best rom.

There is no such thing as too much info. What you are doing could very easily leave you bricked with no warranty so it's best to understand what your doing first. Even if it takes days or sometimes weeks of reading before hand.

First things you need to know is if your bootloader is unlocked. If it is not then you won't be able to flash anything.

Also you need to know if kernel source is available for your device. For the micromax most likely not as it is just a rebranded China device and they seldom if ever release Kernel source for their device.

That will get you started. Now take a few days and do some research.
