Only issue with the OnePlus One is no 800MHz LTE .

I've made a thread for those of you who have a problem with buying phones: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18593896.

We'll get through this together .

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

edit: Apparently it comes with a case?

DO NOT use it. It will scratch your phone.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

I take it no one here has heard the rumours of the M8 prime?

Nvm, too slow!

Another BS TK Tech News leak?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

You can get 50Gb space with the M8?? How?? I don't have anywhere near that!

*GB

Gb DOES NOT EQUAL GB.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Any opinions on the Dot View Case? Looks cool in videos but not seen one up close.

If it's anything like the case they include, it'll scratch the hell out of the phone.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Where did you buy the phone from?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Thinking of getting an M8 with the hope of turning it into a Google Play Edition.

Is it possible to revert back to 100% stock once the phone is converted to a Google Play Edition? I remember reading some months ago that it wasn't possible; has that changed now?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

...can you get OTA updates or do you have to flash a new ROM every time it's released?

From some quick research I've done, you do get OTA updates as long as you're using the stock recovery.

Nice one Mate...that's good to know. Are you going to buy your HTC One M8 from Rainforest?

Mate, do you even need to ask that question

Already done Should be arriving tomorrow - my first Amazon delivery on a Sunday!

Received the M8 today.

Really like the speakers, screen is good, doesn't feel too big in the hand.

However, the volume rocker seems to be quite loose? The bottom is fine but the top half feels very loose? Just touching it very gently causes it to move all over the place.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Noticed some marks on the body also Not impressed so far with how the device has been manufactured.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

The reception does seem to be good on the M8 however. Better than the Nexus 5 and Moto X from what I have seen so far.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

When the phone is charging, if I touch the sides of the phone I get small electric shocks?!?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

It is with an official Apple charger that hasn't given me any problems with any other device.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Which speaker is the left channel and which one is the right channel?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

I think that sort of issue is much more prominent with the Gunmetal variant and I went through at least 4 handsets before giving up.

I've got the glacial silver variant though

How are you finding the phone so far? Do you reckon you'll use it as your daily driver?

I do quite like it.

It's a bit slippery due to the aluminium. The lack of an edge like on the original One adds to this.

It's pretty quick though! I haven't experienced any lag as of yet.

Reception is really good. Much better than my Nexus 5 and the Moto X I had before.

Will I use it as my daily driver? Hmmm, tough one. I'm gonna give it a chance but there's something about the Nexus 5 that just keeps me wanting to use it.

What I'll do therefore is to run the Nexus 5 and One M8 side-by-side for a week or two.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

What's your daily driver BTW, stoosh, or anyone else?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Haha agreed mate

So that leaves you only with the N5 then?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Just the N5 and One (M8) remain.

Trying to get ahold of the iPhone 5S but running a bit low on funds right now ahaha.
