I just wanted to know everyone's thoughts/experiences with the m9 so far.
So over the last few years I have had a fair few phones from iPhones to Samsung galaxy's. I have now ordered a oneplus 3 to see me through to the end of my contract as this phone is just dangerous. When I fist opened the box I was delighted with the phone and as you do thought it was the best thing ever, but this was short lived and has now turned into the worst 12 months of phone ownership ever. So I thought I would share my experiences with others below.
First issue was charging. A few months ago my USB port decided it was only going to work intermittently. So plug unplug four of 5 times to get the charging icon. With this came a new issue, it began to think that it was docked and went into car mode when on charge. This then began happening when not on charge just randomly throughout the day ranging from once or twice a day to every 3 minutes. Battery drain is terrible and often end up changing by lunchtime just to see out the end of work.
Then the thing started to overheat, and I mean seriously overheat. I know these get warm usually but this thing is now a fire hazard. It started when I put my phone on charge one night came to it in the morning to pick it up and it literally felt like it was burning my skin, I had to leave it on a cold surface for 15 mins before being able to pick it up. This is now regular when using the HTC charger so I started recording battery temps at one point it was 69°C. I now only charge my phone when I can see it never overnight as batteries and high temps aren't a great pairing.
Also to mention the screen seems to develop lines when in my pocket for extended periods of time. This has happened to me a few times now on flights but returns to normal after a few hours. A bit of googling seems this is quite common.
Contacted HTC numerous times via email and tried ringing but never got through or got a reply. Genuinely hope I just had a 1 in a million experience and these phones aren't that bad but I will never be buying HTC again for sure.
