Any tips for getting a cracked screen repaired? It's not major and is pretty much isolated to about 25% of the screen, but it's enough to drive me nuts until it's fixed. My six months are up on the free HTC repair, unfortunately. I've been quoted $200 by a local repair shop, does this seem...

Lately I have been noticing a bit of movement and creakiness when I press on the right side of the display. It's not loose enough that it wobbles or anything, but I can definitely feel the glass sink slightly when depressed. Anyone else have this issue? Is this something that you think could get...

Is this normal? The lens is clean, my indoor lighting conditions aren't terrible, but there seems to be a pronounced haziness to my photos. Is this widespread, or might I have a hardware issue specific to my phone?

You're not alone, friend. My HTC One did the same thing to me: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8/379280-what-just-happened-my-htc-one.html Exact same thing that you described. Never had an Android phone do this to me before.

Re: M8 Camera I've had the m8 since launch day, so I have no had plenty of time to experiment with the camera. My simple thoughts are this: The camera isn't necessarily better or worse than its closest competitors (S5 & 5S, for example), it's just very, very different. Not going to lie...

Re: To everyone who is bashing the M8 camera, I have a couple of points to make. Generalize much?

The weirdest thing just happened on my way to work. I was listening to a podcast on my HTC One M8 and when I got in my car, per usual, my phone connected to my car stereo via bluetooth. Right after the sound output switched from my headphones to my car speakers, my phone flashed to the HTC...

Don't believe the hype. The m8 has tremendous battery life.

The camera is definitely a disappointment, but the overall m8 experience is great enough that you'll probably be willing to overlook it. In 2014, there's no way that you can give this camera more than a 7 out of 10. Ufocus and the 3D effects are nice, but ultimately a gimmicky parlor trick that...

I'll be damned, I had no clue that the new plans included the ability to share data. Thanks for the info. I just tried it, and it didn't prompt me with any kind of surcharge warning like I've seen in the past. Much appreciated.

Re: Wifi Tether? Not in a million years. If I'm paying for 6GB of data monthly, it shouldn't matter in the LEAST bit if I'm using some of that data via tether to a laptop or iPad. Maybe in your universe Verizon deserves an extra $10 a month for that privilege, but in my universe, not a chance.

Re: What are M8 users using for text? Hello SMS is a tremendous app. Looks great on the m8 as well.

Hi guys, I've been on Cyanogenmod for the last few years, so it was easy to tether my laptop to my phone. Are there any apps that will allow me to tether to my m8 without the need for rooting? Thanks!

Also curious if anyone has any thoughts on the pack-in headphones. Do they sound any better/worse than typical Apple earbuds, for example?

Love the M8, but man is this thing ever slippery. The gunmetal finish and the overall weight distribution of the phone make it pretty scary to one-hand. I have never used cases, nor would I want to hide the beautiful industrial design that led me to buy the M8. Anyone have any suggestions or...
