I'm not surprised funds are low!

Just as well really as you've had a lucky escape not having enough cash to buy the iPhone 5S

I actually was an iPhone fan for a loooooong time

I'd like to have it just to play around with - to add a bit of balance perhaps

They work fine with cases.

My Dad uses one of these in his car with an Otterbox Commuter (he has an iPhone) and it works perfectly.

My Dad has the car mount version

HTC One M8 for Windows has been released

http://blog.htc.com/2014/08/htc-one-m8-for-windows/

An utterly pointless phone.

Windows Phone gaining traction? What?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Which bit of the statement do you want me to explain? The bit where I said it could be a sign of windows phone gaining traction or just the general english I used?

Because you'll have a hard time telling me I'm wrong when I didn't actually state a belief either way.

For what its worth the numbers do suggest it's getting somewhere albeit slowly in the EU, particularly Central Europe, in fact in a few countries in Europe Windows Phone now has a larger share than iOS but clearly still nowhere in comparison to Android.

Gmail, worked fine here a couple of times.

This.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

This might be a per-app setting but is there any way to get notifications to appear on the lock screen itself rather than on the bar at the top? Might be I'm too used to iOS and such a thing isn't possible on android.

It's been added in Android Lollipop (5.0), which should be coming within 3 months to the M8.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

I'd be straight on the phone to complain if that was how my phone came back!

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

So I'm thinking about picking one of these (or the M7) up. Is it still a good phone?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

I have missed this phone.

Anyway to fix the Weather app saying "Current Location" as opposed to the location name?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

The HTC Weather app is bizarre. My local town isn't found when searching it for it manually but is shows up just fine when the Current Location feature is working.

Have seen this fixed with a good old dose of on / off.

Ensure fastboot isn't enabled in power options so the mobile actually powers off completely, power down and walk away enjoying a beverage of your choice, give the mobile 5-10 mins then power back up.

hope it helps

Thank you

Any UK people got the Lollipop update yet?

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Downloading Lollipop now...

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

You can change it if you tap the top right hand corner and click Settings...

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

If you press one of the volume buttons and click the rightmost toggle, that'll get rid of it.
