    Does the M8 have an sd card slot? Or only the M9?

    Anyone got a recommendation for getting an m8 unlock code? I've asked vodafone but they don't seem to be able to give me one, even though I'm eligible for it.

    I'm hoping to get one in the next few days as I have the phone for sale and think it would open up my base for potential buyers.

    €3 on eBay for a code.

    I'd pursue Vodafone for the code... You are entitled to it and the fact that they can't seem to find it smells like bull****...

    Why should you have to give your credit card details over to some Chinese eBay hacker because Vodafone can't or won't fulfill their responsibility.

    I've been in contact with them a lot recently about it however since they've moved their customer care to Egypt it's not so easy get stuff done. At this stage I don't really mind paying a few quid to get the code as I'm sure I'll make it back on the sale of the phone.

    Making it difficult for you to get the unlock code is actually a tactic they have used for years... I hope your credit card details aren't ripped off while you purchase something that belongs to you anyway...

    BTW, why do people still do business with Vodafone? They are massively overpriced and you can't even argue anymore that they have better customer service... Since its been moved to the middle east and they can't even seem to provide basic info that their customers are entitled to...

    Rumours that the One M9 plus will be released in the far east next week...

    5.5 inch quad display etc.
    Killer 'HTC One E9' To Feature 5.5-Inch Quad HD Display, 64-Bit Processor, 20 MP Camera And More

    I'm still going for the M9, coz I don't like giant screens. But might pick up a couple of the Plus sized model to sell on... I reckon there should be a demand and the price of the euro might make it worthwhile...

    5.5 screen too big to carry around.

    The 5 is big enough imo, I'd almost prefer the M7 size to the M8 actually

    Yeh, tbh I moved from a Butterfly to the M7 and prefer the size of the M7... The butterfly somehow felt smoother and faster, but my M7 is no slouch.

    I'll move to the 5" screen, but would be reluctant to go any larger...

    I keep getting a pop saying my phone is using too much power and it can't charge, or words to that effect. Any ideas? Sometimes it charges fine, other times it doesn't charge at all even with no apps open..!!

    Why the headphone jack on the bottom? Do all HTC's have this? Seems to cause more issues with wire entanglement for me.

    Why? Just put the phone in your pocket upsaide down... It's actually more intuative when you take it out to look at the screen. When you are holding it in your hand the wire does not cross the screen.

    True that, was just my first reaction when opening the phone but haven't used it with my earphones too much yet. Makes sense though.

    A bit late to the game on this and rather than going through the entire thread any reccomendations on cases for it?

    There's two official cases... The dotview flip case which gets great reviews which has an interactive display front face... And the new waterproof case... Some of the UK carriers are giving the dotview free with the phone

    Would rooting the M8 make the battery life any better?
    I've noticed a few emulators and wifi in general are draining the battery somewhat fast; I've disabled any apps I can and googled for any battery saving hints I could find. I'm not sure if I was expecting more out of it.
    It's not that battery is faulty or anything. But I thought I'd get more than 5-6 hours of internet on it with battery saving enabled.

    They would surely have the purchase on record, by searching the IMEI. It would be scanned at the till when you bought it.

    I bought it over the phone pretty much, it was an upgrade. They never sent out any actual receipt, the price of the phone just added to a bill. Would I have to send this to three, and they send it to HTC? I remember having a nightmare in the past trying to get a phone repaired through them
