    LG G3 or HTC One (M8)

    Lots of good info in this thread, but I just wanted to acknowledge that there is almost NO lag on this phone at all with normal use. That has been my pet peeve with every phone I've ever had, and I love the way this device just sings when I need it to.

    Glass screen protector benefit?

    Absolutely LOVE my Zagg Glass Screen Absolutley LOVE my Zagg Glass Screen Looks, and feels noticeably better than without a screen at all. I personally don't like to baby my phones that much. This new glass screen is WAY better than the plastic ones, and don't have to be coddle the thing...

    Annoying Tidbits

    For instance I may be composing an email or a text, and want to give someone a number. Ordinarily, I would go in to contacts, long press the number, and copy it into the email or text. But our dialer does not allow that. I have to go into edit in order to do it. Not a huge deal obviously...

    Annoying Tidbits

    My job involves looking at emails and making lots of calls every day to new people that are not in my contact list. I am constantly going back and forth from my gmail account to the dialer, and I can't possibly memorize all the different numbers I deal with, especially with different area codes...

    Annoying Tidbits

    I love my new phone, but there are a few things that annoy me. I don't think there are solutions, but I thought I'd post to see if there are, and if anyone else is bothered by these things. The most frustrating issue is that when I input a phone number in to the Dialer, and go back ( recent...

    Anyone went from the Galaxy S4 to the HTC One m8?

    Like others here, I too went from the Galaxy 4 to this HTC, and am much happier. Just went by Best Buy yesterday, and played with the S5, and it STILL has lag. I am using the Supcase, and really like it. I tried 2 others, but like this one the best. Clear back, good grip, thin, and looks great.

    Android & M8 Newbie questions

    I've been using CleanMaster. I get updates every few days that I need to clean up. It's a pita, and I'd love to uninstall. Any reason why I should keep it?

    When and how do you charge your M8?

    I read your first link, and it doesn't say anything about NOT leaving a battery charging overnight. I was concerned about this very thing a couple of years ago, and did some research, and came to the same conclusion as Skyway, "It's absolutely fine to keep your phone plugged in for long periods...

    Which messaging app is better

    I've been using the stock texting, but curious about hangouts. I have friends and family all over the word. Would Hangouts be a good way to chat without worrying about fees? I have been using Whatsapp, but in South America people change their phone numbers more frequently, and of course that...

    Zagg Glass Screen Protector

    Just had this installed after getting the clear SupCase, and was blown away with how clear and resistant it is to scratches and fingerprints. I've had it for over a week in my pocket and it looks EXACTLY like the day I bought it. The glass actually tapers around the screen at the edges...

    HTC One M8 & Swiftkey

    I looked at Google keyboard after reading his post, but wasn't impressed. It might function well, but it's awfully boirng;)

    HTC One M8 & Swiftkey

    I've been using Swiftkey since my GS4, but the voice to text isn't nearly as accurate on the M8 compared to the GS4. Is the translation to text a function of the phone/device, or the program? Maybe it just needs time to learn my vocal characteristics. I had gotten so good on my Galaxy that I...

    Unable to access both of my Gmail accounts from the phone

    I show both accounts in settings, and with my previous Galaxy I could access both Gmail accounts from the home screen. Here is a screenshot. Normally my 2nd account is right below my default one.

    Thinking of Upgrading to HTC One (M8). Is the camera THAT bad?

    I can chime in and agree with all the previous posters (hardly ever get to say that;). I'm a professional photographer, and I'm perfectly happy with the camera. Not much to say that hasn't already been said above except to reiterate how great the phone is in low light, which is ideal for a...
