    Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 7 compensation program will reportedly let customers get a Galaxy S8 free

    If it's a Note-like replacement you desire, you'll probably be close to 50% paid off when it's released. I think it's very unlikely that you'll see the Note 8/Galaxy 8 Pro/S8 Plus (or whatever it will be called) before August/September 2017. I have an S7 Edge as my replacement now, and think it...

    Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 7 compensation program will reportedly let customers get a Galaxy S8 free

    Given that the S8 is expected to be available for purchase in Q1 of 2017, I'm thinking it may be too late in the design/development cycle to make it happen. Regardless, I'd much rather have a phone with a place to store the S-Pen built into it than have to purchase a case that supports it. So...

    Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 7 compensation program will reportedly let customers get a Galaxy S8 free

    Supporting the S-Pen will also require a hardware change for the display/digitizer. It's not just software that makes the S-Pen work on the Note series.

    Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 7 compensation program will reportedly let customers get a Galaxy S8 free

    At the moment, the announced program is limited to previous Note 7 owners in KOREA. No plan for other markets has yet been announced. I'm hopeful this will be a model for other countries as well, but I'll believe it when I see it.

    Did you submit for your Pre-Order Bonus (256 GB SD / Gear Fit 2 / Netflix)? Post Here!

    SD card, and my carrier is Verizon ... Submitted August 25th and approved the 27th; status also changed to "in route" late in the day on the 27th. Tracking number received September 9th, but stayed "Label has been created" until the 13th, where it changed to "In Transit." It's on target for...

    What ROM/kernel are you using?

    Ditto. ViperOne(M8) is simply amazing.

    Simple Method to Root Verizon M8

    You've already voided your warranty with root, so go for S-OFF, unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. There are a plethora of ROMs that provide EPS mode. I'm using ViperOne(M8) on my phone, and it is absolutely amazing in its customizability and feature set. I thought the M8 was a pretty...

    Any way to root on phone?

    Crap, sorry, didn't notice you were on AT&T. You can unlock the bootloader through HTCDev, then install a new ROM with root access or just SuperSU if you'd prefer to remain stock. There's a decent step-by-step video here.

    Any way to root on phone?

    WeakSauce is what you're looking for. It works, and is the key to completely unlocking your phone (required to initiate the next step, Firewater . . . S-OFF and unlocked boot loader).

    HTC One (M8): Honestly This Has To be The Best Looking Phone Case I Have Owned

    Re: Honestly This Has To be The Best Looking Phone Case I Have Owned. 15 years ago, that statement would have come across with an entirely different meaning :D

    What are HTC One (M8) users using for text?

    Re: What are M8 users using for text? I'm using it, but have been giving some thought to switching over to Hangouts. After reading this thread, though, I think I'll probably stick with Chomp. I use Hangouts for IM, and I know it doesn't have the pop-up notification that lets me reply without...

    Curse word filter still in place... AFTER disabling it!

    First . . . what version of Android are you using? You mentioned you have a Droid X2; I don't believe that was ever (officially) updated to ICS, and certainly not JB. So you might have better luck asking in an X2 forum (this one is for the Razr). I'm running a Razr MAXX with JB 4.1.2, so my...

    Curse word filter still in place... AFTER disabling it!

    So you have it unchecked in both System Settings | Language & Input | Google Voice Typing and the actual app Google | <menu key> | Settings | Voice? You might have Voice Search as well, but both Google and Voice Search apps should share the same settings. Just making sure . . . I had the same...

    Curse word filter still in place... AFTER disabling it!

    If you're using Google Now to send your texts, you also need to go into its settings menu and uncheck "Block Offensive Words" in Settings, Voice.

    How to Root, Install Safestrap, and custom ROMs

    I think he's referring to the very first post, which concerns ICS and an outdated version of SS. It probably still "works" if you're going from GB to ICS and can still find the downloads.
