    Best Browser for the M8

    I use Opera because it handles text reflow/autofit well . Chrome does not do text reflow.

    Best Buy M8 Availability

    I got mine at BB two weeks ago. They had both gunmetal and gold in stock. Keep checking. They probably get the phones in regularly. I am on Verizon.

    Reception Quality on Verizon?

    I have an M8 and use it primarily at work for web and email. I work in an area where there is a lot of cell traffic (lots of nearby offices). My M8 frequently has problems dealing with the signal from Verizon and just hangs up when trying to load web pages. MY S4 (prior phone) does not do...

    Web Timing Out - Can't Load Pages Frequently

    Thanks, Skyway. I have wifi, bluetooth, etc. turned off. My carrier is Verizon and I am using both the Chrome and Opera browsers. The Verizon M8 doesn't ship with the stock browser, so I am not using it. Using my M8 and S4 side-by-side, it only happens on the M8.

    Web Timing Out - Can't Load Pages Frequently

    This was a major problem today, all day. I could hardly use the web, couldn't log in to this forum, etc. I restarted the phone this afternoon and it resumed working normally. I used to have to remove the battery on the Thunderbolt daily or worse. It is like something gets messed up when the...

    Text Reflow/Auto Resize to Fit Screen - Not With Verizon HTC One (M8)

    Re: Text Reflow/Auto Resize to Fit Screen - Not With Verizon M8 So far, it downloads but won't install. I tried a couple of times. I checked the box in the security setting to let apps from unknown sources install. I saw another thread on those forums where someone said the file wouldn't...

    Text Reflow/Auto Resize to Fit Screen - Not With Verizon HTC One (M8)

    Re: Text Reflow/Auto Resize to Fit Screen - Not With Verizon M8 Thanks all for all of your help. I found this article just now - [Bug Watch] Text Reflow Removed From WebViews In KitKat, Probably Not Coming Back - which guesses it may be part of Google's attempt to force developers towards the...

    Re: Text Reflow/Auto Resize to Fit Screen - Not With Verizon M8 Thanks for the thoughts, but I couldn't find the browser. There is a lot there that you don't normally see.

    Web Timing Out - Can't Load Pages Frequently

    Does anyone have a problem like this? My new M8 frequently has trouble loading web pages and just hangs up. I click on a link (e.g., to load a forum message) and the thin blue bar at the top showing the page load progress hangs up part way through. I sometimes get a message, sometimes not...
