[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katana5:
Hey guys, so I'm upgrading from my old galaxy s3 tomorrow to Verizon's Edge program with my family. I'm a big multimedia user for my smartphone but I equally care very highly about durability, design, and future-proofing (raw performance). Therefore, I'm deciding between the Nexus 6 and the M9. Here's my breakdown of pros and cons:

Motorola Nexus 6 (24.99 on Verizon edge)

+1440p display

+/-phablet (I could see myself enjoying the size for videos)

+stock Google

+more likely will receive os updates earliest

-only somewhat metal construction

-about to be replaced by the next nexus only too soon

HTC One M9 (also 24.99 on Verizon edge)

+brand new

+snapdragon 810 latest cpu and gpu

+best build quality / design (big plus for me)

-eh screen size compared to competition

-1080p screen (will this really bite me in the next few years?)

-apparently a problematic device with regards to quality control?

Now: I'm especially concerned with some of the problems I've read with the m9 with regards to the poor battery performance, breaking of turbo charge with recent updates, the under-saturation of the color gamut which I didn't like seeing on store models, possible overheating which I heard was fixed before launch. Are these issues still plaguing the phone and would you stray away from the device altogether if I could instead choose the nexus 6?

Thanks in advance! :D
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bricker1:
I really like my m9. I don't see more heating than the m8. I don't use quick charge no idea battery gets me through the day.. I would buy it again.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
Of course you should. The M9 is awesome.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cables2590:
My experience is the M9 is a great phone. It doesn't get too hot but, but because of the all metal chassis it feels warmer than usual. I don't think this is a bad thing because than it should dissipate the heat away from the processor. The battery don't seem too bad. I get about 3 hrs of on screen time with nfc, wifi, Bluetooth, and on LTE. Turbo charge works just fine, and i use it on my car ride home all the time. I find the color fairly accurate, and the updates seems to come pretty quickly K so far. We have great developers, and it's easy to unlock, soff, and to convert the phone to WWE. That's why I think I get the updates pretty quick, I'm on 5.1 right now.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HolyAngel:
[MENTION=5492593]katana5[/MENTION]

I most definitely would not. I bought the m9 after only owning HTC phones. Worst phone I've ever owned, no better than the m8 I had before. So I returned it and bought the nexus 6 and absolutely could not be any happier about the decision. You'd be getting a big downgrade all around. There really isn't a 2015 model phone out that beats the 2014 models except for maybe the S6. I'd either keep the N6 or wait until the Snapdragon 820 comes out and is hopefully better than the poor sad worthless 810/808.

Edit: didn't catch that you don't already own the N6, I would get that one. Best phone I've owned.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Coming from the S3, anything will seem like a big upgrade.

I looked at the N6 but decided against it because it was just too big for my taste.

HTC has fixed a lot of the problems with the 810 with recent updates. So I don't see that as a minus anymore. I have never really had any problems with overheating or throttling, but I don't use my phone that hard. Battery life has been fine. Some people have reported charging issues, but it's not universal by any means. I have not.

Development is better on the N6, as it usually is with any Nexus device, but it's good enough on the M9 and certainly better than Samsung, which has progressively locked down their phones, especially in the US. Keep in mind, though, that the M9 on Verizon does not have access to HTC dev unlock because Verizon is blocking it. There is a way to get s-off, but it's not as simple as with the GSM model.

If you watch a lot of videos and want the biggest/best screen you can handle, I would go with the N6. If you want the best build quality and design in a solid package, get the M9.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
I think it is more about if you want a large screen or not, as both devices are fairly compatible. Coming from a Nexus 4, I considered the Nexus 6, but I didn't want such a big screen. My wife is the one that wanted a big screen. But I opted to get her the better device, so I got her the Note 4. I miss having vanilla android, but Sense 7 is such a smooth running UI and now themeable, I'm really pleased with it.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] neutronjeff:
I love it, and when we get 5.1, it will be even better.

Frankly, I'm surprised that as a big-screen loving Sammy user, you don't have the Note on your short list.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
I have held more than my fair share of m9 and not one has had a build quality issue let alone a single dead pixel. The latter actually amazed me.

With 5.1, HTC added this...

Also, the camera has gotten much better since the launch os too.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] z284pwr@gmail.com:
As much as I love HTC (aside from one Motorola and one Samsung I have had HTC phones since the PPC 6700 in 2005) and how much I love Sense, I would say the Nexus 6 or LG4. I'm really wishing my One M8 would have lasted a bit longer so I could have gotten the LG4, even with the plastic chassis. My One M9 has really been a sore subject lately, I haven't been happy with it all. I definitely got one of the terrible battery life version. It seems, I to be great battery life or like mine and absolutely abysmal battery life. Plus the cell signal on mine is pretty sad and likes to drop signal/stay in 1x mode. Coming from the Samsung, it'll feel like a child's toy compared to the M9 though, metal chassis phones feel so much more sturdy.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I was hating on the M9 hard at first, on launch day, went to Verizon, and compared to the M8 the heat was shocking and wasn't happy at all.

I decided to go for it, and I couldn't be more happy.

I loved my M8, and got great battery life on it, and at first my M8 was getting better battery life, but since the update to Android 5.1 it has been such an upgrade for the M9 in terms off heat battery and performance.

As for quality, it's top notch, not a single issue to mention.

The signal on mine is wonderful.

That's my .2 cents.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] msolaw:
I sympathize with you OP. I've been waiting quietly on this board hoping for sunshine to drop and CyanogenMod to support the phone. I don't care for sense or any skin, although I recognize sense is the best of the skins. I nevertheless prefer straight android though and could not see myself running sense for long. I'm getting by easily on my s3 running the latest cm12 nightly. But I really want this m9 and it's driving me crazy!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
Well keep note on where the Java card users are.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] msolaw:
Oh I'm well aware. I'm near state college, so I believe I would be shipping it off to you! It's more a matter of whether CyanogenMod supports this phone. At least for me. If I wanted to have to use the manufacturers take on the OS I'd just get an iPhone. Which at this point is something I'm considering for the very first time. Verizon locking these phones down like this is just an outrage.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
I work in Harrisburg and sometimes travel to state college. It would be a little drive for you lol
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] msolaw:
Haha. I'd make it though. I go to Harrisburg sometimes for work. But like I said, it may not matter. Come on CyanogenMod!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sharmilsk:

Honestly, I would say no... And I love HTC. Have had the m7 and m8-- loved them. This phone is a POS though

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
respect your opinion.

Can give reasons why, please?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mtva24:
I own the M9, G4, and Nexus 6.

Screen - G4, One M9 comes in a close 2nd (I mean reaaaallly close). I'm a sucker for LCD panels and the display on the nexus to me is its weakness. Whites are yellow and pink on the nexus, but you get deeper blacks. Whites are white on the G4 and M9. The is also the dimmest and has the worst outdoor disability.

Speakers - Nexus is the best to me, way louder. HTC has the better sound quality though. G4 is loud, but I hate the placement.

Battery - Nexus and m9 tie, (about 4 hrs SOT max brightness), the G4 falls short, about 2 hr 30 mins SOT (thats the tradeoff for those extra pixels). G4 does have iphone like standby time though and you can swap batteries ...

Camera - G4 1st, the nexus comes in 5th place and the m9 comes in 100th lol. Front facing - G4 edges the m9, and the nexus comes in dead last.

Root? - m9 u can unlock if you mail to or meet someone with a java card, nexus unlocks out the box, lg g4 is still locked like fort Knox. The nexus obviously has the better development community.

UI - love stock android, but will always have a soft spot for sense. LGs ui is just OK (too quirky)

All have decent reception, but the moto nexus gives me the best.

Overall, I like all three and there is not one I particularly prefer. Love the build, software, display, and battery of the m9 (hate the camera), love the screen, form factor, and camera of the G4 (hate that it's still locked and wish it had a better battery), love the speakers, size, and software of the nexus (wish it had a better display)...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Evocm7:
Eh. If I had the choice to go back and the G4 was out already, I wouldve tried it out first. The Nexus looks good too spec wise. Looks cheap though as I have been spoiled with HTC build quality last couple years. I miss my m8 camera though. Tried to take some firework pics and videos this past weekend with my m9, not impressed. I'm on 5.1 as well. First time Samsung (girlfriend's note 4) shat all over my HTC camera. Heat and battery life aren't quite as good, especially out of the box. Custom roms and new firmware have helped with that so it's not such a big deal now. I miss the volume of the m8 as well. Overall, coming from an s3 I think it would be awesome. From an m8, maybe not the best choice. Just my opinion. I'm trying to stick with HTC. I really love their products.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] indiglosv:
Try the M9 , I have one is very reliable

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Antny6:
Sorry...not on here much lately due to lack of root.

Anyway, reasons:

Heat/performance/battery life-- we'll put these together as they're all intertwined. Simply put, the phone gets hot doing almost anything which causes it to eat battery, and eventually, throttle.

Camera-- it's virtually impossible to take a good picture with this phone...it's almost always out of focus. Granted, I don't have the hands of a surgeon, but I didn't have these issues on my m8.

Connectivity-- I actually returned my first m9 and got another due to this issue... But the second one had the same issues. Specifically, I'm referring to Bluetooth and miricast issues. It's hard to really button these up and put them in a box because the issues are strange and intermittent: E.g., ppl can't hear me when on BT in my car sometimes, will lose connection randomly to my BT headset while working out (have exchanged headset but the issue persists). My car will suddenly not be able to access my phone's phone book sometimes... And this never happened with my m8, when streaming something to my TV, it is ridiculously buggy, losing connection randomly with no rhyme or reason... Again, I didn't have this issue with my m8.

And finally, the coating that they put on it to make it easier to grip and scratch resistant seems to have the exact opposite effect, scratching ridiculously easily. I accidentally put it in my pocket with some change once and the back has scratches all over it.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] thewagdy:
I wouldn't get this phone. I have it and especially unrooted I feel like it was a mistake. Horrible camera, back scratches if you look at it wrong (exaggerating), and it gets hot if you are doing anything taxing on the phone. The best way to describe this phone is it's one of those girls that you thought you wanted to date but all the rumors were true and youd regret it. Im switching to the Z4v soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] techlogik:
With the latest Dev updated, many reports with 5.1 that there are a bunch of improvements, including the camera. That is my only complaint with the HTC One the past several years...camera sucks compared to iPhone. Have to say, my wife/daughter and their iPhone 6 cameras are pretty amazing.

This last update that is coming down if we can get it on the Verizon by the devs with updates...should resolve a lot of issues, like the overheating, other issues...

I've got mine on the way back and ready for Rom updating...haha
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alainsr:
Hello. I would like to know if it's possible to link Nova's persistent search bar to Chrome instead of Google Now (Google search app, i.e., com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox) and how can I do it, since there seem to be no setting allowing this customization.

The reasons for wanting this are many. First, Google app is responsible for many of the wakelocks on my device.

Second, the main function for me is to search, and, for that, the app only gives you a basic list of results, sending you towards other apps depending on the result or category of results you want (a browser for links, Google Maps for maps, and so on). It shows smart info such as places around, weather, etc, but personally none of these justify using it instead of Chrome (or Maps, etc.) directly.

So, since both Google and Chrome apps share the same search history, I thought maybe Nova could be directed to open a new tab in Chrome directly instead of being tied to the Google app.

I have tried freezing the Google app to see if Nova launched a popup questioning me which app it should use, but instead the only behavior is the non-functioning of the search bar (nothing happens when you touch it).

Does it require implement a new setting or is there a workaround for already achieving this? If it's a new feature, does anyone know if it's planned?

(It would be nice if Nova had a specific setting for choosing which app and search engine to use: the default Google app, or the Bing one instead, or Chrome using Google, or Firefox using Google, or Firefox using Yahoo, and so on.)

I'm using latest Nova Launcher Prime 4.0.2beta2 on Asus Zenfone 5 running Lollipop.

I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Motorola this morning, and went from a guy who barely spoke English up to a guy who was very-clearly in the USA, and they confirmed the issue and opened a bug ticket. Don't expect a fix anytime soon.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RichSPK:
What is this option supposed to do?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ntxct:
RTL is Right to Left.

Basically the option flips all things on android... so in the settings, as it reads from left to right, "wifi - on" the setting is reversed "on - wifi" sort of a setting meant for lefties.. or just those that like toggles on the left side instead of right.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] spikejnz:
I can't tell if you're trolling or being serious.

RTL is meant to make the whole phone more convenient for lefties. Your homescreen goes from being the leftmost screen to the rightmost.

Wait, no, it's actually meant to completely **** up all our devices. Yeah, that's it.
