Well, I finally purchased the M8 HK edition. My previous M7 took a swim and did not make it. So far, I love the M8!!!!

Sounds like it's picking up Band 41 where the N5 can't because it hasn't had it's Spark update, and probably doesn't know about enabling bands manually.

Wow. Big improvement. My phone silky and very fast. Be sure to have a fully charged battery and a lot time. It will take over an hour and about 40% of your battery.

I just turned on my M8 for the first time in months and I go the update to Marshmallow. I honestly forgot how good this phone is.

 

Question: Can I switch my SIM from my current phone to my M8 and use it or is there a while process. Just curious because I might want to switch phones occasionally.

I think you can use the SIM, you just have to type all the numbers in online when you do the swap. That's if it is the same kind of SIM. There are so many types I forget which ones belong to which devices.

Grrr. Charging port on my M8 has gone kaput and I can't find anybody to fix it including Sprint.

 

Yeah, that's not exactly an uncommon thing I had a family member who had an M8 that I ended up having to replace the charging port on myself because I couldn't find anyone that would do it for any sort of reasonable amount. In the end it turned out not to be too bad of a process, the hardest part was making sure I was getting the part with the correct connections which ended up costing like $10 on Amazon.

I had to replace my charging port and my brothers. It's a pretty easy process and pretty cheap. I got the replacement part on eBay for like $7. Just look on eBay or Amazon for "htc one m8 charging port" and you'll find what you need.

I've had great luck with my HTC One M8 that I ordered when it was first released two years ago.

 

I've recently noticed a problem where the M8 shuts down like the battery is dead, even though the battery indicator is showing something like 20% charge remaining.  This has happened a few times recently, and every time the indicated battery level is 20-25%.

 

So, either the battery indicator is way off, or the battery is shot and is dead even when there is 20% charge remaining.

 

If it's just that the battery indicator is off, is there a way to reset it or otherwise make it more accurately reflect the true battery charge level?

 

Thank you!!

Battery is likely crapping out after two years or so. Mine began doing the same when it was approaching the two year mark. Usually a factory reset might help bit but otherwise the phone might be on its last legs.

Wow, really?  Batteries are only good for (barely) two years?  I believe you, but I'm just surprised that they puke that fast.  I thought these Lithium ion batteries were supposed to have longer life.

I had the same thing happen a couple months ago. I tried everything. Clearing battery stats in recovery, new rom, new kernel, everything. I eventually replaced the battery with one I got on eBay and the new one worked perfectly. It's the battery crapping out unfortunately

Could you please link to any instructions for a battery swap?

Just follow any instructions for a screen replacement. It's the exact same, you just don't have to go as far as they do for the screen

Mine was doing it at 25%-30% depending on what I was doing. It would just die.

Did replacing the battery fix the problem?  I just want to make sure it's actually the battery and not something else before deciding to replace the battery.

I upgraded the phone. I never replaced the battery.  Sorry i can't help you there.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
