On the m7, an HTC Account was used to backup up apps, passwords, settings, and accounts once you setup the phone. I wondering if that is still there on the HTC One m8. I'm on the m8 port for the HTC One m7 and I an missing that feature.

HTC Backup is in the play store these days....

After wiping or flashing a new Rom, I usually add my HTC Sense account under Accounts&Sync settings...
After doing that, Sense always automatically downloads and installs about 5-6 widgets from HTC Hub...
Is there a way to turn this off?
I had downloaded these widgets manually on another Rom, but didn't use them and even uninstalled them. Still, Sense redownloads them automatically on every new Rom... Kinda annoying.
Any help appreciated!

Skip putting in your gmail details at first boot.
Then untick the automatically restore apps option in one if the settings menus.
Then add your account details.

That works for the Google account, but I'm talking about the HTC Sense account here... (the one used for downloading widgets etc. from HTC Hub)
Thanks anyway!

Okay I'm running the latest cyanogen rom and all is well besides the fact I've lost some contacts and am unable to store new ones on the sim.
Is there a way around this?

yeppers, use your google account for contacts storage, you will never have a problem
+1
Google account automatically syncs with your phone, no need to hassle with contacts backup/restore Also, it can be used to backup your installed apps automatically (without settings restored tho)
Thank you so much guys

Invaluable tip, thanks very much. Had the same problem.
Pendlebum I downloaded an application called contacts2sim and it will store any numbers you have stored to your phone to your sim. Its a bit of an inconvenience but it works

At the initial stop screen on my htc one it asked Me for my skydrive lotion details.
However I can't for the life of me find a widget app or shortcut, pre installed, that links me to my skydive.
I use sorani at the moment and it works very well by I was hoping for something as useable as the box out dropbox apps natively in sense.
Could someone who has figured out how this works please educate a little.
Many thanks

Hi there!
I don't use fb, so I have disabled all related apps. But when I check the taskmanager, there is "facebook for HTC Sense" always listed. I don't want to have facebook running on my phone, so, how can I get rid of it?
Thank you for your help!

Go into settings, then apps, click on all, go down to facebook for sense, then disable .

That's what I've already done, as I wrote before. It won't stop running
Sucks it can't be deleted. Only the updates and its annoying that the update keeps popping up.
