HTC One (M8) 16GB 4G Grey - smartphones (Single SIM, Android, NanoSIM, GSM, HSDPA, LTE)

Fantastic purchase couldn't be happier with the phone! [Does have a little bit of bloatware but not unbearable] It's not worth the risk of Rooting at the moment. I have two recommendations if you do this phone:Firstly disable BlinkFeed, I don't really need to loads of articles [often of the same stories] and I doubt many people need that either. I can see the appeal for some people but I just don't need the distraction.Next up install Avast Free Mobile Security. It has some brilliant features, covering locking apps [Only two in the free version] to the incredibly useful SMS commands, if someone steals your phone you can use the website or whoever you put in as a friends phone.The commands range from LOCK [Adds a loud siren which can't be turned down, as well locking the screen which requires your avast pin to close or a message command from your friends phone.] To WIPE which completely wipes the phones data.A couple more interesting commands are preventing apps from being deleted [great one as they won't be able to delete avast very easily] to forcing a GPS or Mobile Data [Useful for finding your phone as a lot of people have these disabled to save power]. Another great feature is SMS on sim card change, this text will cost a very small amount money to send. You can disable this anti theft feature when you're installing a new sim and then you're friend won't get a text saying someone has change the sim in your phone. This one the most useful features as it's one of the first things a thief will do.My thanks go out to ELUXE UK STORE who I ordered from. I'm always a little wary of ordering from sellers on amazon rather than amazon directly but I'm very happy with my decision this time around. :-)SIDENOTE: By ordering this unlocked model of HTC ONE M8 you will be able to update it to lollipop 5.0.1! *Date 17/03/2015* :-)

Mostly satisfied: my second hTc One M8 was delivered as requested and has worked according to hTc standards, with a battery or accumulator which requires the least charging of any smart phone have had so far. The only negative is that its standard camera appears inferior to the one in my old M8.Thank you.

I've had phone 7 months now and USB port won't charge and on contacting seller have discovered he only gives 3 months warranty. Contacted HTC this morning 16/6/16 to discover these phones are brought from USA and this means YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WARRANTY for them. I am very disappointed in this seller as he doesn't declare this in his information about the phone.

Received the phone yesterday. Spent about 4hours setting it up, I.e, music, email, news feeds personalising home screen and apps etc... So far so good. The phone did update apps and systems as well which took a while. During that time the battery did get very hot. Haven't experienced anything like that since then. The phone was delivered a day early in two bubble envelopes, which was a concern. Still it was not damaged, not that I can see. Also, there was no box, manuals, cables or otherwise. Having had this model previously, I had no problems with setting up and charged off my computer via USB. Still a manual could be useful for a user new to HTC. Will update this comment in about one month .Update: Nov 5th 2020Well I've had this for a while now and set it up to my preference. I did notice that it would not go into sleep mode until I let the battery run completely down to zero. After that I turned it on to charge and that solved the problem. It works well and the battery only needs charging once every two days. It last longer if I turn on Extra power saving mode and if I use the apps continuously, it will run down faster. However, I have no complaints. One other thing, the Blink Feed will only run Twitter and YouTube or other information (alarms etc) on the phone. News republic does not work and I cannot add any other news channels to the blink feed. Though, I have found a work around by subscribing to BBC news on Twitter along with some other news sites. Now I get the news on Blink Feed. That is the only issue, but solved without much effort.

Very disappointed with the phone. First the volume buttons didn't work properly, then the protective screen foil started peeling off and the worst is that now after one month my phone decided not to function any more after auto updating.*Update I have contacted HTC customers services UK and they have discovered that my phone is from the USA so when updating the European software conflicted the American one so this is the reason why it is not working any more. The solution for that is to go to the HTC USA website download and reinstall the software from there. As a piece of advice, contact the seller and check the origin of the phone before purchasing it

Beautiful phone - Just sorry I didn't buy one of these a year ago - Music is everything to me - the best smartphone music player I have experienced (tried many iPhones, Samsung's, Nokia's, etc.) I crave loudness in my music and this delivers. Drives my Shure IEM headphones a treat. I rarely give 5 stars unless exceptional.Seller was quick to dispatch and it arrived in perfect condition - so thank you.

The original was returned as it was not locking in GPS no matter what I did. The replacement was promised within 3 working days but took 5 and only after I called the vendor. The replacement was booted up and everything was in Chinese, so I guess that's where it came from. The previous one was American. At least this one could fix on GPS - which I only found out after managing to change the language.So 3 stars for finally getting me a machine that does what I want it to. Note also that both machines are rooted. Not what I expected and not mentioned in the sales pitch.Before used or new machines are sold, Amazon should insist on the country of origin of the item to better inform the buyer.
