Me either. I even factory reset to try and get that screen thinking it was missed because my sim wasn't recognized during the setup. Hoping that gets fixed when they push the update to fix wifi calling, since that will probably require VZW specific software changes.

Whatever I end up keeping, I'm hoping it will be replaced by the Google pixel 2 ;) The S8 audio quality wasn't bad, but I really hate single bottom firing speakers. It just feels weird having one ear hear much louder than the other.

I don't really have a recent phone to compare to, but the M8 never did that even as the rest of the hardware has been slowly dying these last few months. I guess it's more noticeable since on Bluetooth I'm usually in my car with the volume up... The sound is like fingernails on a chalkboard ?

I think it's fair to compare them - many people are still used to the carrier 2 year cycle. For them (and myself, but for other reasons), now is the time to choose the phone they will be using for a significant amount of time. These are substantial investments, and people want to be sure they're...

I can't consistently reproduce it, but it has happened several times already. Every so often the phone will inject a nasty electronic squeal into the sound output, particularly noticeable on Bluetooth. I originally assumed it was just a lost Bluetooth packet or something, but then when I turned...

I tested my luck again and chatted with HTC again today... This time I insisted on them involving the next level of support (they don't work weekends). Here's what went down.. . So, maybe it will work someday. They weren't sure about the 4g band issue though.

Did a factory reset to make sure I wasn't missing something from during the setup. The Wifi calling settings are missing from the dialer still. According to the current VZW support person, Wifi calling won't work in Airplane Mode anyways... so, perhaps it does work even without the option? Hard...

So, to clarify what I've seen in this thread and my own experience. HD Voice, SMS, MMS works WiFi calling, Carrier Aggregation, Visual Voicemail don't work HTC insists that it's Verizon's fault that WiFi calling doesn't work... Verizon says WiFi calling only works on VZW branded phones due to...

I don't remember getting the "Carrier specific apps and settings" when I activated on Verizon. Is there any way to get back to that? It seems I'm missing whatever is necessary for Wifi calling :(

Thanks - sorry about that. So, can anyone confirm the update issue? My biggest concern is that I tried weeksauce but it didn't do what I needed. I want to be sure that I can still get OTA.

Ya, I have the loose buttons too... just wiggles enough to be annoying, but the case resolved that for me as well. As much as I wanted to go caseless, I'm too clumsy ;) Does yours show the same thing when trying to software update?

Hello everyone! I just got my Verizon HTC M8 and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these (possible) issues: On Firmware 1.55.605.2-1.12.605.11_R3 , when I press "Check new" under "Software update", it sits for about a minute at "Checking for new software..." and eventually says "We...

I do agree with equake: For more, see the Wikipedia article on USB (the Charging ports subsection). It's rather rare, though they're out there on extremely cheap charging kits. I do agree LG don't seem to work well - my parents had old Chocolates Touch phones before they got their Nexus...

I'm in a similar situation as several other people around these forums are - I purchased a Razr from Costco and it had the splotches on black screens and developed a dead pixel. I then returned it and got another which doesn't have dead pixels but still has the splotches and also seems to have a...
