It might be because the System partition is being mounted as read-only when you've booted, which to my knowledge is a result of being S-On. According to this post (under "Advanced Tab"), it appears that Team Venom has a tweak to allow one to mount the System partition as read-write; might be...

This guy has a screenshot of the actual update prompt. As for the About screen...

Mine actually came without any branding at all. I ordered from the same Amazon link as in the original post.

I received mine in the mail today. Little slippery, but grips enough for me (I'm not much of a dropper.) The cut out for the microphone on the back is a little off, but not enough to cover the microphone at all. Finally, the cut out for the headphone jack and the USB port is kind of sharp around...

Hey cc999, I have a developer edition and I can't download the applications either (thankfully I don't use either!) Could you pull the APKs off of your M7 and try installing them on your M8?

While it would have been nice to get it earlier, I couldn't order from HTC so that left me with good ol' Amazon. Figured at that point I might as well go with the Dev edition!

Heads up to those who ordered from Amazon: your phones may be shipping soon. I just got an email from Amazon stating that my device has shipped and will arrive on Monday! I ordered on the 27th for reference.

Oh man, that would be so typical! I could see me leaving for class and passing the UPS truck on the way down lol. Amazon has switched the status of my order to "Shipping Now" and they have charged my credit card. Progress! :good:

Well, LetsTalk wouldn't let me place an order due to differing shipping and billing addresses, so Amazon was my only choice. Let me enjoy Amazon's bit of progress haha.

Amazon just updated my order: I went from an estimated delivery date of April 15th - April 28th to April 8th!

Hi Saket, I ordered a gunmetal gray M8 on the 27th. Why?

Aw man, I can't wait to finally see that shipping email! My Nexus 4 works perfectly fine (except for the battery, of course) but I'm excited to have a new toy to play with. Amazon is still thinking that the earliest I'll receive mine is the 15th. At least I'm still locked in at the old price!

Still waiting on Amazon personally. LetsTalk isn't an option for me because I have differing billing and shipping addresses. Is the new One very quick to respond to user input?

Ah, that's probably the difference right there. Oh well, thanks for letting me know! Enjoy the phone when it gets to you!

Hmm, I ordered a little later than that. Hopefully I wasn't after the cut off time! Thank you for letting me know!
