If you aren't comfortable with uploading to cloud services you can always make your own. Owncloud has a server version that runs on Windows and there is a client for Android. The client has "auto-upload". Granted, if you go out of town and take pictures it won't upload unless you setup your...

I'm not sure now. The more I read the more confused I get. I just wish there was a sticky that was a definitive answer on what does and doesn't work with various versions and someone that kept it up to date. Apparently unlocking the bootloader on Verizon isn't possible right now either...

Just an update. So I did some research. It turns out that any random password consisting of upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols, once you get to 12 characters it's unrealistically hard with today's technology. At 16 characters it's just about unbreakable. So I lowered my password...

Here's a test anyone can do.. if someone would do this and report back if it happens for you or not I'd appreciate it. 1. "Add a network" Make up an SSID(I did "test"). 2. Put in a 45 character password. I did 1234567890... so it was easy to count. 3. Now shut off your wifi and turn it...

Funny you say that. I don't, but I used to work in nuclear power. How funny!

Ok.. so since I can't sleep because I've got another hour drive coming up to go get this thing switched out I decided to figure out how many characters it takes to go bonkers. It turns out that at 45 characters the password works. At 46, it acts like it will save, but then doesn't. The...

Well, later I'll pull out my old router and do various password lengths to prove or disprove this. But, considering multiple people are complaining about this, and considering my password is 53 characters and I can cycle the wifi off and on and lose the wifi password I'm not thrilled the least...

Here's just a few people that are claiming the same problem: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8/378071-htc-one-m8-wifi-connection-issues.html#post3581829 http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8/374771-htc-one-m8-wifi-password-not-saving.html A user at the bottom if this post...

Mine is about 45 chars and all I have to do is disconnect from my wifi either by going out of range or by turning the wifi off and on and it won't reconnect. The kicker is that after I type in the password it says "saved" for a second or two before actually authenticating. I've even checked to...

I got my M8 yesterday. I haven't even had the phone 6 hours and I noticed that the phone won't remember my wifi password. Turns out.. the M8 has a fatal flaw in its software. It won't save any wifi password longer than 9 characters. What a damn joke. For a guy that loves IT stuff I'm...

Re: Wifi password not saving This is disgraceful! I just noticed this problem and this is embarassing. I haven't even had my M8 for 6 hours and I noticed that it keeps 'forgetting' my wifi password. How could HTC *possibly* think that a 9 character password is secure!? WTF is wrong with you...

So based on my searching today, S-OFF may or may not be available for Version. (Eh, don't really care *too* much about that.) Root is very possible. (I do care about this!) Turns out there's no M8s near me. So I'll be taking a trip to go back to my old phone while I wait for an M8 to come...

I've been an Android user for the last 5 years or so. I've rooted every Android I've owned. First I had a Droid 2, then Droid Bionic and now I made the choice to go with the S5. As others have mentioned, "Samsung Galaxy" is synonymous with "Android" right now, and I appear to have been duped...
