*** The Official HTC One M8 Thread ***

It all comes down to personal preference here to be honest, I'd say in real life usage you won't see much different in terms of power. Battery life is going to be better on the Note 3, Camera I would say the Note 3 would take better day shots, HTC better low light shots. There is more RAM on the Note 3 for better multitasking but then again I dont think that'd be an issue on the HTC anyways.

I'd say have a play with both first, you can't go wrong with either one.

I wouldn't bet on the battery life being better on the Note 3. While the Note 3 obviously has a bigger battery, everyone seems to be raving about the battery life on the M8 - presumably a combination of software tweaks and Snappy 801 optimisations.

Obviously the plus points of the Note 3 are the pen and the bigger screen while not being that much bigger than the M8.

The M8 though has those speakers, the perceived built quality and associated looks, and doesn't have Touchwiz (which seems to get vastly worse with every passing day).

Personally, I'd snap up the M8 over the N3 in a heartbeat, and would have done had I not just bought a Nexus 5 on release.
 
hi, anyone have trouble moving files from internal memory to sd card ?

i tried few different file explorer programs and just cant seem to copy , cut files into sd card, i never had this issue on the note 3

Thanks
 
IIRC that's the Android 4.4 change to permissions on the SD - apps can write to only certain parts of the card assigned to the app (but they have read only over the whole lot)
 
Getting a bit pee'd off with EE now, it's been 5 days nearly since I got my One M8 and I still cannot use it because the sim card is still not activated, despite multiple phone calls and them say "wait 24 hours and it will be done".

If its not sorted by today I shall cancel the upgrade and just go through a store instead.
 
I'd go into a store directly now, and say you want your account transferred directly to a new sim there and then. Only takes 2 minutes to actually get it activated on the network.

I'm no David Bailey but I'd say those shots look ok to me, I'd be more than happy with those, after all it's a phone not a SLR.

It is a good camera (I have a HTC One) but the reason I am getting a Z2 rather than an M8 is that the lack of resolution does rear it's ugly head when you blow the pictures up and view them on a large screen.

Not a problem for some but it is the one thing that has always bothered me with my phone. It's a shame as otherwise I would be getting an M8 and not a Z2 as I have been impressed with my HTC One otherwise.
 
When I spoke to tech support yesterday they said my account migration was stuck half way, my number is registered to t-mobile still but my account is linked to EE, my TM sim card is still active but my EE one isn't.

I called them at about 2pm yesterday so will do the same today.
 
Ah didn't realise you were moving network as well, I thought it was just the transfer from a micro to a nano sim that was taking an age.
 
I'm looking at upgrading to this or the Z2 over the next few weeks. Is it me or are the tariffs for phones quite expensive?

I got my S3 nearly 2 years ago when it was a flagship device and it was £25-£30 a month.

Nope it was a move to from TM to EE and it's been a total pain in the backside.

You would think it would be eaiser given it was the same network, I remember how much of a pain it was just switch from a t-mob sim only to a full contract, took over a week.

Prices are just higher these days, I'm guessing everyone wants to make money to over their LTE expansion. My advise would be to either go the sim only route or keep an eye out on hotukdeals. Either way I don't see it going down to £30 any time soon.
