HTC ONE M8(s) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I was planing to buy the m8s, but was wondering if the phone has good custom rom support ? anyone outthere that has this phone ? I have read a review stating that there are some improvements compared to the original m8 ( 13mpx camera, bigger battery etc ).
Any thoughts, comments ?

Forget about this one. This model is almost completely unsupported by the developers. Rather buy ordinary M8.

I really don't know which battery is better... just need an answer

Hello people, Ok i know there is millions threads about battery and stuff but i haven't find any good answers...
Can you please tell me which one is better ??
1- Made in Korea , Finished in China
2- Made in China , Finished in China
3- Made in Japan , Finished in China
Recently i bought the first but it seems its not good for my S2. cuz of draining and i cant close the back door, sounds like its not fitting cuz of battery, I don't know what you guys call it in English but its like the battery is not working normal anymore. ( i bought it about 5 months ago for about 8$ ... ???!! )
Thanks in advance ( for some reasons i cant use the extended batteries )
i have the original battery..it says made in china, thats it

It is hard for us to know what type of batteries they are. What capacity? Official branding? Does it fit? Any photos?
Where it is made doesn't really matter as these batteries are officially made in China.
If you want the official one, made and finished in China, everything else is not official - but that is not your question.
So try add some more information.
Hope this helps :good:
P.S With the info you gave us, 2 is "better".

Z1 Compact or LG G2

Hey!
Hey! I'll buy either the Z1C or the LG G2, which one should I buy? Could you help me please? Advantages/disadvantages with either phone? And try not to be to much of a "fan-boy" please
I want a good mobile camera but I've heard about camera freeze issues every 5 photos or so? Is that fixed? And how good is the camera really? I've heard different opinions about that! And what about that Sony forget about their "older phones" is that true? I know Z1C will get Android 5.0 but after that? Do they send out bugfixes frequently? For how long do you guys think that Sony will support Z1C? Anything else I should be aware of or forgotten to ask about?
I'm not buying any other phone than one of these so please don't suggest any other ones, thanks in advance and sorry for my english

Good morning,
your English is just fine, but your questions. Sorry, you can find all the answers on the net. Who knows now how long Sony will support Z1c? Lollipop is coming sometime in the first half of next year. I do not really know the G2 but for me that size is already too big. I have never experienced camera freezes and never hadproblems with picture quality (which is a personal issue I think).
Hope that help.
Best regards

1: Are you happy with the phone overall? 2: Is there lots of support from people on this site? I mean Sony will stop the support to Z1C in the future and it would be nice to know that I might be able to get the support from people on here for atleast a couple of years or so when Sony stops sending out updates/bugfixes
Thanks for taking your time.

I am absolutely happy with my "precious". Despite the fact that you better use protection from the 1st minute, it will satisfy my needs for a long time. As for support, I am quite sure there will be developers to provide some very fine custom ROMs for the device for a number of years.

You won't regret it for sure!

Is our phone a lost hope?

no promised updates, no good custom Roms, no one wants to port lineage os for us, and the list goes on and on.
if by March still no update by HTC, I'll be giving up on HTC products and venture into OnePlus. so sad to see HTC gone to ****. /rant
Totally agree with you.
Let's talk about the alternatives / improvements.
5 inch display, dual sim, microUSB expansion and stereo sound are my "must have".
Any decent alternatives out there?

I myself prefer a minimum screen of 5.5 the bigger the better but definitely not beyond 6 or maybe 6.2(I'm gonna wait for s8 xl to come out to see if 6 is my max or 6.2) dual SIM is not a must for me but it's nice to have i guess. expansion is a must i think for external backup and such. our HTC one stereo speakers are just soo soo good though I'm gonna miss it for sure. AMOLED is a must for my next phone it's just so beautiful! ofcourse the camera has to be superior too.
at the moment i really am considering OnePlus due to its versatility and support and since I'm not from the US so pixel is out for me. to be honest, I'm gonna wait for note 8 and Nokia flagship to come out before i make my final decision. I grew up with Nokia if the flagship turns out to be superior I maybe going with Nokia i think.
If you are considering the Galaxy S8 or S8+ but miss the stereo speakers of many HTC phones dont forget the S8 and S8+ are remoured to also have stereo speakers,top and bottom. Though not at front ofcourse.
But guess we'll have to wait and see for sure.
On the topic of the E9+ and software updates I have recently emailed HTC support India side and they actually got back to me.
They did say the E9+ is only upgradeable to Marshmallow meaning it wont get Nougat.
But they didnt actually say it will be getting Marshmallow,only that its only upgradeable to Marshmallow.
I messaged them back asking if it will still defo be getting Marshmallow though. Still waiting for reply.
But it did sound like it will be getting it,but they cannot give me a timeframe as to when though.

out of curiosity, are you on stock e9+ or you have custom rom installed? if custom what room did you use? I'm from Malaysia and the only rom that works for me is E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip which I got from this site and it works just ok but not that great imo https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/boycracked.com/2016/02/05/official-stock-rom-firmwareruu-htc-one-e9-plus-a55ml-e9pw/amp/
Im on stock rom.
One advice. Don't buy **** models instead of flagship next time.
It's always the same with HTC, we should learn that at the end, is a ****ty company.

There is a very simple method to avoid phones like this with no support. Before purchase look into specs and search for "CPU" row. You see anything with "Mediatek" in the name you immediately forget about purchasing this phone. Works everytime.

1. Pretty good
2. No but it charges quite fast still.
3. idk.
4. Great
5. I like it. It is not a flagship camera but pretty good for this price range. I've read that the quality of the camera in the custom rom's is worse than in ZUI. Dunno about that. I never used ZUI and I am happy with custom roms and their picture quality.

Thanks everyone for the help. Beast is coming very soon.:laugh:
Just for 11k INR.
What about the issues reported about its touchscreen, VoLTE, etc., because unlike other devices' forums here on xda, I'm seeing so many threads regarding random issues; I'm unsure if this is because of the user or the quality of this phone. Agreed, this phone is fantastic value for money, but these random apparent issues just keep me doubting the Z2. I'd like to use this phone for about 3-4 years before an upgrade.

Okay so I have been following all the threads about the phone.
Volte is working fine on stock with no issues and also on custom. ROMs now.
Touch screen issue I dont have idea. Other things are fine as per info I have. For 11k INR can't expect SD820 but I'm getting it soon.
As of now I'm using redmi note 3 and Dev support for it is awesome. I see Dev support for Z2 is also fine.

Thank you for the quick reply. While the Z2 may be a good choice, I'm tempted to get the G5 Plus or the Redmi Note 4, because they're both phones that are well put-together. If I could, I'd get the OP3T for the same reason. Or a Droid Turbo off eBay. Just a few phones I'm considering. The Z2 Plus doesn't seem like wise choice considering long-term use (3-4 years) and overall reliability (without giving me random issues), at least not to me (yet). Just a gut feeling. Or maybe I'm being too cautious. But I'm sure if did get it, I'd unleash the flashaholic in me and flash a rom right after I receive it :laugh:
Do post a little review and camera samples (preferably while running a custom rom; I could find only stock rom samples) after you get your hands on it! For 11k it's definetely a steal! :victory:

If you don't mind sharing, how is AICP working with 4G. Do you have Jio - does video call etc work?
PS: I ordered on 19th night and got it on 22nd. Waiting to flash right ROM!!

Wow, lucky you...!!! [emoji39] I saw the offer a few hours later, and until then 64GB-11k offer was gone. But I still ordered 32GB at 10k from Flipkart and using it since last 24hrs. It's a good phone. The size of the phone is really perfect. I had thought that I won't be liking ZUI, as I'm always on stock through Custom ROMs, but surprisingly, it's good. Gonna use it for some time. Will flash custom ROM once I get bored with ZUI. [emoji106]

The device has the potential but Samsung security and exynos processor are making it hard to be on full loose. But, as is evident from the history of other Samsung devices with exynos like j7 prime and many others, and also pretty good specs, we can expect a good number of developers to grab this one.

Still, all of this depends on how many people will go with redmi note 7 pro. I hope people realize that this time (and probably for the first time), Samsung is providing a better option than xiaomi at a little higher price.

Yes Brother.. hope they will push new update for A50.
I would like to start development on Galaxy A50. Currently waiting for open source kernel, I recently requested Samsung to release source code lets see. Need some testers maybe who can take risk of unlocking bootloader and installing custom ROMs, recoveries, kernels.
I am happy with camera, gaming particularly pubg(made for pubg) and display.
But fingerprint sensor needs lot of work.
They already gave one update for fp.
Hello Friends,
Just got my hands on the A50. Great display and good specs. Waiting for devs to pour in some goodies. Especially no HAL3 support

How is the public response in Europe?
Moved from ASUS Max Pro M2 to this beauty yesterday. Amazing device and I'm loving it.
I'm getting mine on Monday, really excited to get this one! just a question, does anyone know if in Europe (I live in Portugal) it comes with a rubber cover for the a50 inside the box?
