Did you check network settings? I know it sounds like silly questions but simple solutions often work.

I did. The "preferred network mode" is set to 2G/3G/4G auto.

I meant the actual network settings for Vodafone.

APN should be live.vodafone.com

Yes, I asked that here;

http://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057476872

You see the answer I was given. In the vodafone store they filled in a few more fields, so I now have:
Name: Vodafone Internet
APN: live.vodafone.com
Proxy: 10.24.59.100
Port: 80
Username: Dublin
Password: Dublin
Server: Not set
MMSC: Notset
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MMS Protocol: WAP2.0
MCC: 272
MNC: 01
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default
APN enable/disable: APN enabled (in faint type)
Bearer: Unspecified

I'm assuming those must be correct as they were dictated over the phone to the assistant in the shop. Am I missing something?

Anyone had an issue with the vibration not working on the M9? Got the phone about 3 weeks ago and usually have it on loud but only noticed in the last few days the vibration mode doesnt work.

Ran the vibration diagnostic test and still no joy.

Will have to return it now

I know of 3 different people that have had to return M9 due to dead vibration motors. Did the test say it was dead?

After 3 days in there is a crack on my camera lens. A perfectly straight vertical crack . It didn't fall and I've been extremely careful (since uts new)

Only thing I can think of is yesterday I watched a film and noticed it got very hot. So hot I turned the film off until it cooled.

Today I noticed the crack. It's not affecting pics yet as it is not in the centre. It's about 75% of the way across

This happen to anyone? Seems to have happened to a few in the US

Not likely it's to do with heat. Either user damage or factory fault. But HTC are quite good at looking after such issues. Get in touch with them

Thanks for reply. Def not user damage as its only new and I've been very careful. It never fell or banged anywhere. TBH it could have been there from day one and I only just noticed and associated how hot it got

Will get onto HTC

Thanks

I see that HTC have updated the M9. Called the One M9+ Aurora Edition. No real change to the hardware except for the camera.

A bump from 20 to 21MP, optical image stabilization and with laser autofocus.

It's actually called the M9+ Supreme Camera Edition (I know, Aurora would have been better). Highly doubt we will ever see it in these parts. HTC's strategy is bizarre, am seriously giving up on them.

They should have given it a catchier name... something like the Super Awesome Ultra Mega Supreme Camera Edition *sigh*

Still interested...

RFOLEY1990 · 02-10-2015 8:07pm

anyone any idea when HTC will bring out a new M version?

have an S5 at the minute but interested in switching to HTC, don't wanna buy the M9 now for it to be out of date in a few months though?

They are releasing a device on October 20th which will run android M. It's not a flagship though, more midrange.

The M8 and M9 will both receive marshmallow before the end of the year, according to an announcement by HTC a few days ago.

Their next flagship won't come out until March/April.

Hi guys,

Where's the cheapest place to get this phone?
Either SIM Free online or decent bill (30-40 per month) in Ireland.

Would I be better waiting until February?

Thanks.

If you're waiting until February, then you might as well wait until March/April when the M10 is out.

If you're buying now, I would get the M8. Overall, it's as least as good, and it is receiving Marshmallow before the M9 (being pushed out to unbranded devices today).

WexIan · 03-12-2015 4:15pm

I always buy sim free, cheaper in the long run for me. Have a look on DoneDeal I bought my M9 there and got receipts from seller.

PTH2009 · 29-12-2015 7:26pm

Is it worth buying the official HTC fast charger ???.

My phone had a faulty USB port and it got fixed but the phone still gets extremely hot when I'm using it

You don't need to buy official, just a certified Qualcomm 2.0 charger.

I think they are good, but HTC hasn't got quick charging anywhere near as well optimised as Samsung.

Do you mean you phone gets hot when using it in general, or when using it when it's connected to a charger? You shouldn't use your phone when it's charging, especially if you're quick charging.

For the record, I'm currently running a marshmallow ROM, and it seems to run generally pretty cool.

Shane O' Malley · 29-12-2015 8:01pm

I use a quickcharge 2 charger with my M9 and it has been brilliant. I cant remember the timing but i think it was going up 2% per min for the first 60%

It rarely gets hot anymore except when i am using it and charging at the same time.

WexIan · 03-02-2016 8:14pm

I use a fast charger and no problems.
How are people finding new Marshmallow update, any problems yet?

Sundance_Kid · 17-03-2017 12:11pm

My HTC M9 just randomly turned off and stated rebooting last night and it keeps doing it.

I pressed the two volume buttons and power button together and get a option to:
Reboot
Reboot to Bootloader
Boot to Download Mode
Boot to Recovery Mode
Power Down

I selected Boot to Recovery Mode and all that happens is there is an image of a phone on the screen with a red triangle and exclamation mark. Then the phone just continues to reboot with the white screen coming up with the HTC logo.

Any idea what I can do to get phone back working?

Just seems to have packed in.

Thanks

So you can't get to recovery at all? If you can get to recovery, I'd try wiping cache. If that doesn't work, then factory reset from recovery.

Ok I managed to figure out how to get into the wipe cache option and wiped it. It the gave me an option to reboot which I did and now it just seems to keep rebooting like previously

You might have to try factory reset then.... you'll lose all your data, though

I did a factory reset and it now is just frozen on the white HTC android screen.

Any other ideas?

How long has it been frozen for? It can stay there for a long time.

It would still be under warranty, so I'd contact wherever you bought it, or HTC.

I think I bought it under 2 years ago.

It was frozen for about 15 mins, should I have left it for longer?

Thanks

It can take that long for something to happen after a full reset sometimes. There's other things you could try to get it working, but I wouldn't risk invalidating your warranty. The M9 came out just under 2 years ago, so you're definitely fine for warranty. I'd just get onto it ASAP.

It might also help if you join HTC elevate. They have a premium support channel which means you should get looked after a bit better.

Thanks, I am onto 3 mobile who my contract is with and phone got through. Contract is over so just on a rolling contract.

Should I go through 3 or through HTC directly myself?

I tried to sign up for HTC Elevate, they said its by invitation only. I will send an email address anyway to them.

Try 3, they might just tell you to contact HTC.
