HTC Advantage!

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.

Anyone know what's causing this? Happening every day and I have to reboot to get LTE data back.

Yeah. Every day, gotta reboot or LTE data doesn't come back.

Did this just start happening on Wed? I noticed the same thing on my M9 and have a friend with M9 experiencing the same thing out of nowhere. Now that I think about it, buddy with M8 having same exact issue.

 

No clue what is going on but it's pretty annoying.

I know it started mainly this week. I don't recall when. But it looks like several other people on Reddit have the same issue.

Remembering back to when I had a HTC M8 or M7, and I saw the error previously, if I remember correctly someone on another forum found out that the problem seemed to be caused by one of the HTC core apps that had received a botched update. If memory serves, the problems went away when HTC issued an update patch.

 

I think that is the only fix.

I'll swap out my ROM and see if that helps. Or reflash the Sense7 rom.

I used to have this problem with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus way back when.  Used to drive me bonkers!

My mom has the HK edition and yesterday we discovered her camera lens is scratched. Is this something that would be covered under warranty?

 

about 6 months ago I had the same problem which was producing blurry photos. I brought it to a sprint repair store who told me that it's not covered by warranty and that they would have to send it in for repair which may or may not be covered. Instead of dealing with that idiot I went to another sprint repair store. the guy there took my phone, tried updating something, did some testing and came back to me saying that it is a free replacement. I bought mine at release and with further research it appears on early released phones there was a film on the front of the camera lens that was sometimes peeling off and causing blurry photos. hopefully that helps.

If my memory is correct, the film on the HTC M8 camera lens, was some sort of Anti-Glare UV film. And, yes, it tended to peal off.

 

The UV film started wearing off of the camera lens on my HTC M8, but luckily for me the area around the lens apture completely wore off, so my pictures came out fine.

 

Others, however, had to wind up removing the remainder of the UV film by using a toothbrush and toothpaste.

I had this issue too. My m8 was also a release day m8. My pictures became very over exposed and blurry, and for a while I couldn't figure out why. Then people started talking about that film and I used a credit card to scratch the rest of the film off. The camera has been fine ever since.

 

Except for a huge crack through the lens that showed up a couple months after purchase, but that doesn't show up in the pictures so I guess it's whatever.

Hmm, this is all good to know.  That *is* kind of what it looks like, sort of like something is "peeling" off.  I'll look at it more closely and see if that's what it is!

If you haven't already read. Mo Versi tweeted the target for an update on sprint m8's is mid-week. Although he didn't post technical acceptance yet. We shall hear more in the next few days.

Anyone having issues with apps crashing?  I have the E8, but it's the same underneath as the M8 ...  Apps will random freeze and get the "Stopped responding" message all the time.  Happens in Facebook, Timehop, etc.  Really frustrating!  Tried clearing all caches but does not work.  Also uninstalled and reinstalled both.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
