That's fast. Have you sold your htc yet?
[One (M9+) General] clarkgable:
Just wanted to come in here for (probably) the last time and say goodbye, I sold my M9+ on ebay and the new owner picked it up today. I wish every remaining owner of the M9+s the best of luck and hoping the Marshmallow update gets released soon, or even better still- it jumps to Nougat straight away!
[One (M9+) General] JRFabbi:
Yes... I lost 40% of what I paid earlier this year...
[One (M9+) General] flymacs:
I purchased the M9+ SC and I really enjoy using it. I am not a heavy gamer but I take a lot of pics. The combination of the screen, upgraded camera, and build quality was what made me decide to go for it. It's rooted, s-off, and sd write fixed.

Marshmallow has a slightly better ui, but lollipop is easier to deal with for permissions. Mediatek does have it's limitations, but so does snapdragon. I guess it all comes down to how you plan to use your phone.

I am coming from a Galaxy Note 4. No one has given that phone a second glance. The first week that I had the M9+, I received 5 complements on how good looking the phone is.
[One (M9+) General] corrupt1234:
How long have you own this phone? I owned it like for more than 5 months and overall the phone is ok. The build quality is nice that I wished I get compliments from people too. However, the software update is what bothers me. While the outside looks terrific, the inside though, is another different story. Yes, mediatek has it's limitation and it's obvious in this phone, but snapdragon is a lot better in terms of custom rom support, software updates and etc. So, if you compare both cpu in the long run, you'll know which one outperforms the other. I'm not against your opinion or anything as I respect it. Anyway, like you said, it all comes down to the user preference. For me, I would like a phone that is future proof, one that I can use for more than six years but this phone, only lasted me for sadly, 7 months.
[One (M9+) General] flymacs:
Sorry to hear about your phone. I bought mine 2 months ago and, for what I do, enjoy using it. I also have a straight M9 with the snapdragon processor upgraded to Marshmallow.

I respect your opinion as well. Having a phone that is future proofed is a huge consideration. Also there are improvements in Marshmallow over Lollipop, but there are drawbacks as well.

For me, dealing with the sd card restrictions/changes as the operating systems are upgraded is a big issue. Marshmallow's "adopted" storage sounds great, but to treat an external sd as internal storage has limitations of it's own. The external sd and the card slots are much slower than internal flash. I prefer to keep my removable storage...removable. A lot of the apps I run can't take advantage of Marshmallow's permissions to write to the sd card if I leave it as a removable card.

I also have a minor issue with Marshmallow combining the volume control for ringtone, alerts, and notifications.

I like rooted stock and to make my own mods to it, rather than flashing custom roms.

I believe the M9+ SC is the M9 model that HTC should have released from the beginning and I agree it should have been a snapdragon. HTC really messed up with the M9's release and in the end, they are to blame for the mediatek decision and very slow updates.
[One (M9+) General] dkkc19:
Same here. Samsung and Huawei dominate the market (and the billboards) with LG and Sony competing for the rest. HTC is rare and other brands are almost nonexistent.

I found that Aliexpress sells the ZTE Axon 7 (but only the gold colour) and I could order it unlocked from Amazon. But I'd rather pay extra and buy a phone with a local warranty.

The M9+ here is 420-440$ and the M9 is non existent. I'm either gonna save money for the HTC 10 or gamble on the Axon 7.

I would kill for a One M9 or M9+ that would actually get an upgrade. If buying HTC M9+ locally is no option then consider the ZTE. It's the same size as the M9+ with bigger screen and its better in every regard.

I really want the M9+ but the fact it doesn't get upgrades, performs worse in the graphical department and its expensive I'd rather try my luck with something else.

The OPO3 is another great option, as is the Huawei P9
[One (M9+) General] corrupt1234:
Axon 7 is good but for me OPO3 is much better IMO. After using M9+ for few months, I begin to dislike the dual front speakers. Sure the audio is nice but there is also a greater risk of damaging those speakers. Just a tiny splash of water or even droplets from your sweaty palms can ruin them. So, you need to be extra careful with this kind of phones. Probably HTC realized this, which may caused them to abandon their signature feature in the latest HTC 10. That's just my assumption but if you care about the audio, sound quality, etc then go for it.

Anyway, the chances of M9+ getting updates(Marshmallow, Nougut,...) are getting slimmer day by day. Plus, the lack of custom rom support and the old GPU make this phone obsolete in the future. If you are one of those guys who don't care these things, then you have nothing to worry about.
[One (M9+) General] dkkc19:
The OPO3 is better in general, but for an "Audio/Media" phone the Axon is better. and it has a higher res screen. But I also imagine the support and custom roms for the OPO will be much better than the Axon.

I gave up on the M9+ and ended up using a Xperia Z3 that I was trying to sell (No warranty) Which is funny because I can't upgrade to Marshmallow, even tho I'm reading that it should be able to upgrade to Marshmallow.

I don't advise anyone to buy the M9+ HTC ****ed up with using a Mediatech instead of Qualcomm. It's a sexy phone (M7, M8, M9 imo are the best designed smartphones ever) but its not future proof and its still expensive compared to the great amount of cheaper phones we have these days.

[One (M9+) General] corrupt1234:
Z3 can be upgraded to Marshmallow through custom roms. So you still can enjoy it even there's no official release. On the other hand, M9+ can also be upgraded if Mediatek is willing enough to provide us the kernel source but I don't think so given their history. It's very unfortunate because this phone could be the best one that htc made but screwed over by bad decisions. Regarding on future proofing, this phone wouldn't last long for me at least.

The usual response.
[One (M9+) General] newninja:
ya, what a stupid reply...
[One (M9+) General] dkkc19:
I thought the Z3 had official Marshmallow support for some reason. I advise against the M9+ even tho I think formfactor wise it's one of the most perfect devices out ther, I really doubt HTC even remember that they released the M9+, their focus is on the 10 and the new Desire line. I wouldn't mind buying the M9+ if it was cheaper, but the thing is still so expensive despite all its flaws. HTC had a bad 2015 and I hope they learnt from it.
[One (M9+) General] yusuf_fareed:
So Android Nougat Released.

And I'm here trying to sell my HTC for a good price so I could buy any other phone with the money I get after selling it.
[One (M9+) General] junglistric:
It's not the CPU necessarily. The X9 from China has Android 6. has anyone tried to flash their M9+ with the X9 6.0 ROM?
[One (M9+) General] corrupt1234:
Yep it is actually. M9+ has different CPU which is faster than the CPU in X9. The X9 6.0 ROM is designed to work with its CPU, so flashing the ROM in M9+ will definitely cause a hard-brick.
[One (M9+) General] junglistric:
I learned the hard way - it is not recommended and indeed is a different CPU from the X9. It was a soft brick. I flashed TWRP and flash the Clean Slate ROM....whew!
[One (M9+) General] ∆TE:
Seems like Xperia M5, which does have the same chipset as HTC One M9 plus, got Marshmallow already.

So... I think HTC should push this update sooner.
[One (M9+) General] seanhanrei2000:
i already switched to samsung galaxy note 5. i'm tired of waiting. i paid 1,500 QR for m9+ which is using a Lollipop. while other htc mobile is only 800QR but using Marshmallow. i'm a fan of m9+ plus because of its specs. but i really have to switch this time..
[One (M9+) General] paroys:
I feel that too bro
[One (M9+) General] newninja:
China's HTC have responses in the Forum section,

Currently confirmed M9+ update to the Android 6.0 Marshmallow,

the update will rollout on this October, please be patient...
[One (M9+) General] corrupt1234:
Don't get your hopes too high on this. It may turn out to be another of their BS like before. Though, I wish they release their source kernel instead.
[One (M9+) General] akhillad:
As an HTC fan this is saddening. I decided to buy a new phone since the One M7 got old. And being an HTC fan decided to go for the M9 (can't afford the HTC 10). But here in India they don't sell the HTC One M9. Instead you only get the M9+. Then I spotted this thread. I tried everything I could to get the M9. But eBay was the only option and seemed very risky.

In the end, it hurts to say, but bye bye HTC. I got the S6 Edge +. Rather, I would say HTC compelled me to buy it. Hope my next phone, around two years later, will be an HTC once again.
[One (M9+) General] paroys:

[One (M9+) General] mh7:
Im using HTC DEVICES from a long time , its provide the best quality on the market

But the support decline

I what I learn don't go for mediateck CPU with HTC

Even no support fr developer

U can try htc 10 very nice device and u will find a good support from developers and htc
[One (M9+) General] maitrefou:
me too, but it is soo expensive in France, and progressively useless for me, i'm turning to shock/water-resistant phones now...

But if it was not this change for me, I would probably ask my boss for the HTC 10, really!
[One (M9+) General] GaetanoS.89:
Hi :)

Thanks for the link, is a bit incomprehensible for me, I also tried to use the Google Translate, but does not make a good sense xD

Thanks anyway and I will trust you and especially I will wait for this upgrade ( to Android 6 ) also if will be already old.
[One (M9+) General] newninja:
Dont mention it, i also waiting for the update, so i try to search all the website forum talking about the htc m9 plus update issues, just want to confirm that phone got android 6 update, let just wait until this October, if still nothing, i will going to abandon this phone, and change to other better phone, then said goodbye to HTC...

keep in mind that the m9 is the international flagship, while the m9 plus was released in parts of Asia and the middle east, thus concentrating on the flagships then jumping to others such as the m9 plus & desire smartphones.

Try a factory reset - although marshmallow is more resource-intensive, that sounds like a big drop.

M9+ will get " Android 7.0 Nougat"

but the write question (when??)
[One (M9+) General] light_n_roses:
I think that there are no evidence that the M9Plus will get android 7.0 ....HTC has announced just the M9, the HTC 10 and the A9 to get the update so far. Frankly I'm skeptical about getting the update.
[One (M9+) General] T3snake:
Yes..... in fact our device may be the last one to get the marshmallow update..... the user base being small

So choosing this device over all the others doesnt seem likely...

Though it can also be said that now they have cleared whatever problem they were facing earlier with 6.0 update, giving us the next one is easy..... but we cant expect too much

[One (M9+) General] rynx:
After the update, my m9+ sc edition seems to charge quicker, and also the battery lasts longer. I reformatted my phone after the update. The only problem seems to be when I move an app to my SD card it disables itself here and there. Also, it might just be me, but the finger printer scanner has a quick response time. I love it!
[One (M9+) General] GaetanoS.89:
Hi, do you have Hong Kong version or Taiwan version? Which CID do you have?
[One (M9+) General] rynx:
I have the Taiwan version. You can check HTC HongKong to see if there's a manual update. Just go to HTC website, scroll down and hit the globe and click Hongkong and then HTC One m9+ sc edition. If not, email HTC Hongkong, they always email me back quickly.
[One (M9+) General] GaetanoS.89:
I am not able to find any info about the update and I can't get in touch with the chat because is unavailable since a month. Neither the email contact is available, only the phone support. Can you maybe help me?
[One (M9+) General] rynx:
I can't get in contact with either chat or email. And HTC Hongkong is the only one who speaks English that sell the supreme camera edition. Your best bet is to call HTC of your country and have them transfer you to HTC Hongkong.

I found HTC Hongkong email

[One (M9+) General] williamtavares:
how is battery life for you guys?

I just unboxed my HTC one M9 Plus, charged it twice since then from 5 - 100% (i own device for about 30 hours)

and all i can say is that i'm f* scared with the battery life!

I've spent the whole day using the phone in power saving mode and my battery didn't hold up.

It's running Android 6.0, i took it out of the box and updated from Lollipop.

Auto-sync is off, wi-fi all the time, good signal coverage, auto-brightness, just a few apps installed, default theme, no facebook/messenger.

Screen time isn't shown in battery settings due to HTC's dumbness but i can say i barely used the phone other than to reply some whatsapp messages.

Is it normal due the fact it was just bought+Updated?

I can confirm that the M8 was far superior in that aspect, even nexus 5 from 2013.
[One (M9+) General] GaetanoS.89:
I sent an email to them, but at the end ( I don't know if they got the email ) I have been redirect to HTC UK.

I don't know if in this case the have received my email. I didn't get any confirmation.
