HTC M8/New Flagship

I ordered last night at around 7PM. I still have nothing.

 

HTC One is the loneliest number,

One is the loneliest number,

One is the loneliest number,

Much much worse than Two...

I called them earlier tonight and they said it is shipping tomorrow. Spoke to them a bit more and apparently they're shipping it overnight now. I'll believe it when I see it though.

Anandtech posted battery stats...better than G2 @ Web browsing.

That's pretty impressive.

Anybody notice this?

 

With the exception of the Sprint SKU, all of the remaining M8 SKUs feature Qualcomm’s QFE11xx envelop power tracker. In addition, all SKUs with the exception of the T-Mobile and Sprint devices use Qualcomm’s QFE15xx antenna matching tuner.

Details about the supposedly omitted parts.

 

  • Envelope Power Tracker (QFE11xx) – The industry’s first modem-assisted envelope tracking technology designed for 3G/4G LTE mobile devices, this chip is designed to reduce overall thermal footprint and RF power consumption by up to 30 percent, depending on the mode of operation. By reducing power and heat dissipation, it enables OEMs to design thinner smartphones with longer battery life.
  • Dynamic Antenna Matching Tuner (QFE15xx) – The world’s first modem-assisted and configurable antenna-matching technology extends antenna range to operate over 2G/3G/4G LTE frequency bands, from 700-2700 MHz. This, in conjunction with modem control and sensor input, dynamically improves the antenna’s performance and connection reliability in the presence of physical signal impediments, like the user’s hand.

Not gonna lie, this device is as premium as premium can get.  I won't be able to spend too much time with it until tonight though but for anyone on the fence, this is a definite purchase.

Delivered! Too bad it's at my house and I'm at work. :(

Are you feeling OK? You look a little ill. You should probably go home and get some rest.

I second this, I'm on my way to being a Doctor. You can trust me.

*Cough cough*  Hmm, now that you mention *cough* it, maybe I'm not feeling all that *cough* well.  I would hate to get my co-workers sick!

At first I thought this was a cdma issue but Verizon has them?? Could it be a problem with incorporating those with the triband network? Both of those things seem like they would be very useful for people on sprint and its growing network.

AJ, can you fill us in on what that Envelope Power Tracker and Dynamic Antenna Matching Tuner do (in layman's terms) and speculate why they are omitted from Sprint devices?  And what the effects of their omission might be?

 Well it still could be that they are not compatible with CDMA.  VZW's M8 is a world phone, Sprint's doesn't appear to be.

Sprint has a replaceable sim card and it is unlockable what makes the Verizon unit different? Are you saying Verizon has a unit that is like the nexus 5 where it can run on almost any carrier in the world?

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • 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.
