I will tell them TJGartner sent me when I go to pick up my M8! Thanks for the real world info, much appreciated.

I'm a current BlackBerry user, and only now finding my way around Android, via the LG G2 I picked up for my wife. So as a neophyte Android convert I don't plan to do any modding in the near term, though I will keep the option in mind....thanks. Not having the "knock off" feature to correspond...

Touchdown! Happy to hear the news on the M8. The heat problem was something I need to know was resolved before I start to consider the HTC One. Please keep us posted on the phone's performance as you continue to break it in. Also: is there a "knock off" option for the phone, or is the power...

Anybody watching this thread currently use the HTC One (2013)? If so, what are your experiences with charge times, and overheating issues? Does the phone get hot (not warm) while simply idly charging? Any other reproducible situations? I am keenly interested in the HTC One (2014) but I need...

Any new developments here? My take is that the heat and battery issues have been massively under-reported in official reviews, considering forums like this one are chock full of horror stories like the OP's. I have been looking at getting the (new) HTC-One. But I really think I need to let some...

Precisely what I needed -- thank you very much!

The new HTC One which drops next week supposedly has an SD slot, but then it also lacks a removable battery. So it's not ideal, but it's the best option I have right now. I prefer the Z30 to the Z10, but if the Z10 is retailing for $299, it is worth looking into. However, if I were to buy it...

You have no idea how much I want to do exactly that. If it wasn't for the unlimited plan I am on, Sprint would be left in the dust for a carrier that actually carries the Z30. I'm not interested in the Q10 - I already have the 9930 (OS 7) and I consider it pretty much the apex handset in this...

Thanks crabbz. I am trying to wrap my head around exactly what is synced when there is an active Google account on the phone. Here is what I think I may do: Set up Gmail account for purposes of accessing Play Store Sync will be turned off for this account this email account will never actually...

Thank you for the input, patruns. I have a couple questions based on what you wrote. If I set up a Gmail account, then turn off syncing (to avoid info upload), my non-Gmail accounts will not get mail delivered to them (using the stock email application) unless I manually query the email server...

Updates to my questions from earlier: From reading I have done (and B. Diddy's reply), it appears that I can avoid having my email, calendar and contacts data synced to Google, by simply not establishing a Gmail account. As this will render me unable to access the Play Store, there are options...

Thank you, B. Diddy! The info you provided was very helpful. I look forward to learning more about Android.

Hello: As noted above, I currently am a BlackBerry user (9930 and Playbook). My carrier, Sprint, has not provided a viable upgrade path for me, so I am looking into alternatives to BlackBerry. The upcoming HTC One has my attention and I am hoping to answer a few questions about my ability to...
