Get in touch with htc they will replace the battery and fix the phone free of charge normally. I have had good experience with their support in the past.

I think the battery thing might be something to do with Lollipop but can't pin it down. The phone's already been back once for the sim card problem and they didn't do a great job

plus a friend's just had his Desire Eye back and they totally failed to fix the fault on that. I think it's quite hit or miss if you get good service or not.

For those of you with an M9, does the glass cover the entire front, top to bottom or is it like the M8 where it stops at the plastic speaker grills so that there is a ridge so to speak?

At the speaker grilles but they're metal this time (like the M7).

Is there a 64GB version of this available ?

It comes in 16, 32 and 64gb models. I tried to get hold of a 64gb one but they seem to be quite rare and voda didn't have any so had to settle with the 32. They do however have an SD card slot to extend out the storage.

I'm aware there should be a 64GB version but I can't seem to find any available or even advertised as out of stock, sdcard is useful but I'd prefer more faster internal storage for my apps.

Moving apps to the micro sdcard as well as other limitations Google have rolled out are hassle I don't want anymore.

32GB seems to be the standard size. I don't think the 16GB variant is sold in the UK (at least not SIM-free)?

Which I find quite odd to be honest as the m8 you literally couldn't get hold of anything other than the 16gb variants.

Yeah maybe it's a response to the S6 coming in large capacities?

Anyone else notice this gets very warm?

Well, I've got one of these (in dark gray) on the way from Vodafone as an upgrade from my HTC One M7. I was looking at the Samsung S6 but a few things turned me towards the HTC.

Managed to talk them into a pretty good deal and got the phone for free on a £35 contract (1000mins, unltd texts, 1gb 4g allowance) and I get a 20% employee advantage discount off that on top.

mine was like that, nothing terrible but not as good. try this

didnt know that phones also had a cache to clear. i thought it kept and deleted according to the memory needs on the phone by itself.

Biggest disappointment on this phone for me is the screen, it just looks really washed out and cheap.

reflux · 23 Apr 2015 at 12:29

Screen looks OK to me - if anything a bit oversaturated. Gmail's header is pretty dark.

Vince · 23 Apr 2015 at 18:06

Dropped my new one a few times already. Seems nice and solid some minor scuffs but that's about it.

Deleted member 66701 · 23 Apr 2015 at 19:32

Phone arrived - I like it.

Camera seems pretty good tbh:-

Big pic link

a lot of cameras seem to struggle with the colours and contrast of the car when in bright sunshine, this seems to cope fine (settings are OOTB).

kinger8938 · 23 Apr 2015 at 22:11

That picture has it all

very nice!

Thinking about upgrading feom an S4 to an m9, not had a htc before but love the look and feel of the handset

JediFragger · 26 Apr 2015 at 12:12

Had mine a couple of days now and absolutely love it (Gold on Silver, a little blingy but not OTT). Bit of a side grade coming from a G3 but I missed my M8, regretted selling it a few months back

Love, love, LOVE using it, software is pretty much damn spot-on imho. Only downside for me so far is that the battery life is a little lower than I would like, but considering I run with mobile-data off most of the time I think I can live with it

Can I ask why you moved from the G3 back to the HTC?

I've got an M7 and been happy with it over last 2 years. Was disappointed a little with the camera on the m9 (my M7 pics always look washed out), but I'm not keen on the S6 or Edge with all that glass.

I was looking today at the G3 and Flex 2 just for something different I guess.
