I'm disappointed with the size of the battery in the m9. I'd love the phone but I promised myself I wouldn't buy another phone unless it's has atleast a 3500 m battery.

There's alot more to battery life than mah's. The Z3 is probably the best flagship right now in terms of battery life and has a smaller battery than the Z2. Likewise the S5 has a bigger battery than the m8 and by all accounts the m8 has better battery life.

Still though in my experience the bigger the battery the better.

Agreed, I might even postpone upgrading until the m10.

I don't really notice much difference bar the notifications... What am I missing?

Tony · 26-02-2015 02:31PM

Upgraded to lollipop on M7 but now lost calendar notifications from lock screen. Seems like backward step or am I missing something ?

deco72 · 26-02-2015 02:35PM

If you go to settings --> about --> software updates it should pop up. It rolled out for Meteor and 02 so 3 should have it also.

Zascar, are you with three? I am and haven't got the update yet. I've been checking every few hours :P

Hey guys, where would you find the best value on a htc one mini at the moment?

By product of lollipop, don't use it myself personally but have heard a few people mention it. Hopefully its fixed in sense 7.

Tony · 27-02-2015 09:05AM

It does however give you notification just before the event, previously the next event was displayed for that day .

I used a double dip case for my M7

Worked great, bought one for my M8 but not using it at moment as the tempered glass screen protector i got for it means it doesn't quite fit so using the case that came with it, but recommend it as my M7 is as good as new, and i've had it 18months or so

+1 on the double dip case. I use it for my M8. It's the one case that actually looks good on the phone. Argos had them on offer a while back but I got mine on Amazon with some other stuff which meant no delivery charge.

phill106 · 27-02-2015 10:30PM

Thanks, argos has them on sale atm, out of stock everywhere so will keep an eye out

Another +1 for the double dip case, I did find however that the M8 version didnt have the same fit a the M7 version. I bought the Otterbox Symmetry case for my M8 and its an excellent fit (not too bulky either), and it fits over the tempered glass screen protector.

Reverted back to stock using the link to XDA someone posted earlier in the thread. Still nothing and "System Update" option didn't come back. Currently running 6.09.401.12. Going to try some other 401 RUUs this afternoon.

EDIT: One of the guides I found on XDA had re-locking my bootloader as a step. Ended up not working, was gonna just a flash stock OTA from htc1guru but needed to unlock my bootloader again. Did it and system update button came back and lollipop was waiting for me. Updating now.

If you were already unlocked you could have just flashed one of the lollipop roms from xda.
Would have got you the lollipop rom without all the hassle.

It's on YouTube too.
Leaks were correct!

20MP rear camera. Single aluminium body brushed on the back and polished on the sides.
Still has the black HTC bar.
New dotview case

Available in mid March. Launches with 4 colours.

Its awful similar to the last two phones. Bit disappointing

Zascar · 01-03-2015 03:27PM

I'd argue that the M8 was a fantastic phone and they simple made a few changes to make it better. Trying to reengineer completely risks making a crap phone

I won't disagree it was a fantastic phone however they risk being accused of the Galaxy lines 'saminess' that had had an impact on sales, re all the unsold units of S5

super_furry · 01-03-2015 03:34PM

I've had the HTC One M7 for the last two years. Was hoping for something more in the design stakes but still think I'll be upgrading to the M9. Wonder if it'll link in to the HTC Vive VR headset they've just announced with Valve.

Zascar · 01-03-2015 03:36PM

I'm definitely upgrading, I just want to know when I can get my hands on it. They said it will be available in Europe Mid March - but who knows when the Irish networks will have it...
