Hi, I am considering buying the HTC One M8. Does it have any issues? Last time I bought a Galaxy Note 3 from AT&T, the GPS was awful from start to finish. I just need to be aware of issues with this phone, thanks.
I haven't noticed anything with mine yet. Very nicely made device.

My girlfriend is on AT&T and picked up a HTC One X at Radio Shack.
She's in Philly and having all sorts of issues with the signal dropping out and then rebooting to get it back (she hadn't tried airplane mode to toggle it).
She's not second-guessing the move away from iPhone so I'd like to help out. She has until the 8th for her 30 days.
Is this likely a hardware issue and one that can be dealt with by swapping it out for another phone or would she be better served just dropping the phone entirely and paying the penalty to move to the S3 on Friday?
Plus Radio Shack is insisting she call some support number but they force her to leave a message and they're not calling her back. Sounds like a scam to me.
Any input greatly appreciated.
RE:
Assuming she hasn't rooted and flashed a new rom on the phone (The phone is still in factory condition) then we are left with a few options. The replacement should be a last ditch effort, instead I would try to update the phone. Google: ``Updating the HTC One X software`` and its the first link.
This has been known to fix the a few of the known issues with the HOX, however should this fail I would fall back to taking the phone back, which usually is fairly painless.
1) This is the wrong forum. This is the forum for the Teg3 international One X. Your gf has the S4 One XL.
2) The heat wave and storms have been wreaking havoc with all the wireless carriers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. It's probably that.

Thanks. Not sure how I was supposed to be able to tell as the forum name is "HTC One X" with nothing more. Looking over the forums I see the distinction now. Thanks.
Second, she's been having the problem since well before the heatwave.
Hello, I've been reading about this problem I have for pretty much half a day now without finding any concrete solutions or explanation on why my One X is not reading any sim card I put it. I am from canada and bought this phone off ebay a few days ago. Phone is locked to ATT but unlocking it isnt that big of a deal since I've done it before with another One X. So when the phone arrived this morning I tried to put my microsim in and its not recognize that there's one in there at all. At first I thought it was probably just my sim but I also tried another one from Rogers and another from Telus. Both are known to be working on their own phones but not cannot be found on this One X. After searching and reading. Some people said it could be solftware or hardware. I would rather it be software since I don't think I can go through any kind of warranty through ATT or HTC since I am not the one that purchased the phone from them. The situation is very frustrating. If anyone had this problem before or any ideas on how I can go about fixing this would be greatly appreciated. Everything is stock on phone right now with ICS 4.0.4
You are in the wrong forum mate, this is for the HTC one X international quad-core phone, you have the at&t dual-core phone.

You said ebay, and i smell trouble!
1)Try a factory reset first, i doubt anything will change with this, but still... (Make a nandroid backup first!!)
- You can download Hasoon2000s' at&t HTC One X AIO toolkit for much needed - easy - help -
- http://d-h.st/users/hasoon2000/?fld_id=2808
2)Try "fixing permissions" and clear your cache. If this doesn't work clear "Dalvik cache" (Available in recovery)
2)If that doesnt work, you may have to reflash its firmware on the device! (ask for it in the at&t section)
I just got this phone and im having problems w data connections. I had it rooted and then went back to stock. Still same problem
Spoke to TMobile and they said they will reset my account in their end. Wait 3 days and if still problem they waive restocking fee.
I like the phone but thinking of exchange for S5 if this is a common issue w G3

could be TMO issue....if you new to TMO...their coverage not as good as verizon.
This has been documented with the G3 and Tmo, where it says it's connected and has a data connection, but nothing is being sent or received. You either have to reboot or go into Airplane Mode and then back and you get the handshake again.
I had this problem during the first few weeks of getting the G3 (and also Tmo service), but lately, the last two weeks, I haven't had this problem either on my phone or my wife's G3, which was experiencing the same problem. Perhaps it cleared itself up or Tmo found out the problem with their G3 handsets, seeing as it was just released then. Also, I haven't seen any OTA updates, so it might be on Tmo's side.
Others have mentioned they experienced the same thing on Tmo service with their Note 3 or S4, so it might be a Tmo problem with their handshakes.
Yes thats the exact problem I'm experiencing.
So your phone corrected itself after a few weeks?
I've been on T-Mobile for years and last phone S4 and no problem

I haven't had to place my phone into Airplane Mode in a few weeks now, the data connection has held. Same with my wife's phone. We haven't received any updates, so I am assuming it might have been due to the G3 being just introduced on the Tmobile network and kinks were being worked out. Both of our phones are rooted, BTW, but I doubt that makes a difference, as others who had stock were having the same issues.
But, I had just joined Tmo with the G3, coming over from Sprint, so I can't say how the experience was before the G3. But on other threads here about the same problem, other Tmo users who had other phones (one being the Note 3) before using the G3, said they had the same problems with the data connections.
I just switched to T-mobile coming from Sprint..in my area it was horrible. To say the least, I am very happy I HAVE BARS! lol...I had the M8 over at Sprint and I love the phone now, okay well my question is, Should I stay with the beautiful M8 or wait for the Nexus 6..I am not much into 6 inch phones..but I haven't seen it in person, I was going to get a temporary phone until I can make my decision.
Any thoughts?
I recently did the same thing, but I ended up getting an M8 again too.
Sent From My HTC One (M8)
Hey I'm looking for help deciding on phone. I have the UNLOCKED T-mobile G3 right now on AT&T. I had before it the HTC One M8 and the GS5 Active. the G3 is a really awesome phone but the signal is really bad on it. I'm constantly seeing, "Can not send message. Will send when service is available." Not word for word but you get the point. Someone will call me and my phone won't even ring. I have kids. I can't just not have a phone with bad signal not matter if it is an awesome phone. Not sure if It's because it's a T-mobile phone or what.
Anyway, so I'm going to trade my phone. I can upgrade in July so it's not like I have to wait long.
The phones I could trade my phone for are the GS5/GS5 Active, Note 3, OnePlus One, HTC One M8, Moto X 2nd gen. I want to trade my phone with one that I don't feel like I'm getting screwed.. I loved the M8 and the ability to root and rom it but the camera really sucks. I think my blackjack 2 took better pictures. I had the S4 also and the Note 3 is kind of like a bigger version of it so I might want something more up to date. Also I can't root or rom a samsung device anymore it seems.
Can people chime in and let me know what phone to choose and if they have any other suggestions? Thanks.

It might be ATT. Just switched from ATT to T-Mobile and have better coverage where I need it. I think T-Mobile has better building punctuation than ATT in some areas,not sure if it's the LTE bands or what.
I went from no signal in work to 3 bars. Using a G3 right now, love the phone.
