Curious to see how many people have returned their M8 and why. Didn't like it? Too big? Bad camera?
Tell us your experience.
And which device are you looking for next.
Thread closed as this is an offtopic thread. Also as you asked what phone are you getting next, this will turn into a phone comparison thread which is against forum rules.

That had obviously not been raised before, so my thread was moved.
See here
This was regarding ROMS and SD card performance. There is an obvious difference.....
Input or solutions please?
you ask a question in the wrong forum, it gets moved, so you ask it again in the wrong forum (without actually asking it)? what exactly is your plan?
Hey buddy, this isn't a General Q&A question.
How about an intelligent response?
I was bringing the difference in SD card performance between ROMS, and even recovery, up to the Android Developers.
Thanks, K-dong.
ok killerwilly, what exactly is your question now? seriously, i don't get the question.
you are too stupid to make a benchmark with sdcards, and you want to know how to do it? how is this not a general question?
from what i see in the first thread you created about this you are using cdma hero roms, so you are probably not only in the wrong subforum for the right device, but you are also in the wrong device forum.
you gotta lose the attitude, dude. don't pick up the xda lameness that floats around here.
You had to edit your response didn't you?
In future, if you don't like what someone is saying either don't respond or try to at least put your point across in another manner.
I'm not saying don't have your own back, if you think someone isn't playing nice, of course you have every right to speak up, but to start throwing insults is definitely not the right way to go about doing things around here. Noobs and Veterans alike, no-one deserves to be called names.
Thread Moved to General and Closed for Flaming.
Users, take this as a friendly warning.
every since this phone was announced these threads have been sprinked with useless garbage, generally speaking.
please clean up your stuff, one guy was complaining how there is lag on his nexus S after 62+ apps. Get a grip, child. compared it to his nexus one...which had well over 100 apps. this is nonsense and i dont find it as a gauge to compare anything...sounds just dumb.
gripe. but gripe right. for instance.
nexus s is an official google phone. yet i had to MANUALLY get all their apps, google ones that is, not to mention my market didnt upgrade STILL on its own. weird how i had to literally type out the market apps to find its upgrades in stuff i had.
EVERYTHING i had to get. which simply BAFFLES me since my tmobile G2 had everything pushed instantly.
Secondly, rockplayer....PLEASE WORK..i neeed to see movies. all the codes needed to be updated now...god dammit.
I guess this what its like to have a google only phone? i dont know, i dont get it. i find this phone incredibly gorgeous and have gotten alot of compliments. going to miss my nexus one but its the next of kin..im off contract still..my 3g is faastt 4.3mb-5.1mb always. idk..just clean up your talk
Good point, I have noticed a lot of useless fluff everywhere, but over time that will probably disappear as more and more devs are able to release NS mods and roms which, if popular, will push all the useless threads back down the que. But that still doesn't solve the problem, so I will add my support behind this.
Some tips to avoid posting useless posts
1. Use common sense: lag after 62+ apps, maybe more are running in the background, or more intensive? Think!
2. Google/search it: more and more people are getting this phone, so maybe you will find another post like yours, with an answer already in it!
3. Try and fix the problem yourself: with the lag example, maybe try the task manager and see if anything is hogging resources? That seems quite easy to do, no?
Then maybe it's a good idea to post a thread.
Never mind posting in the right section... Seriously, the development section is overflowing with threads that belong into general. Ironically, this thread is a prime example. It doesn't help that the mods (whoever and wherever you guys are) seem to be non-existing in this forum. Whosdaman has been doing a great job keeping the MT4G forum organized while at the same time helping people understand what belongs where. Where are our mods and how come there still isn't a Q&A section?

I don't know, I find it kind of amusing that a guy with a whopping two whole posts in 5 months to his name is going to start a thread saying most other posts on the forums are useless garbage. Seems kind of pretentious to me.
I'm all for SEARCHING before starting a new thread, and SEARCHING before asking the same question in a thread that's already been asked and answered a dozen times. I'm all for READING FAQ and READING STICKY POSTS before posting questions. I'm all for POSTING IN THE RIGHT SECTION.
And to the OP, I'm all for USING A PROPERLY DESCRIPTIVE THREAD TITLE. Yours gives no indication about what you're really discussing in here. Something like "Let's keep this forum on-topic" or similar would be much more appropriate in my opinion. You also marked this as a QUESTION, and it's not. Very poor topic titling...
On the other side of that coin, I'm not sure I'm qualified, or anyone else besides moderators, to say you're question/post was too stupid to have been made, go away. Sheesh, we're here to help and learn off each other; that kind of attitude isn't conducive to a helpful environment. It leads to the kind of cesspool that our sister device's (the Vibrant) forum turned into where there's so much sniping and hatred at everyone that several high-profile devs have left.
Is it just me that I think the OP is also a useless gripe?

I applaud you're ability to find your own answers, but yes, your OP here was a bit pretentious in my opinion.
It's pretentious because you assume that your judgment of what is and is not a value-added post is the only accurate one while at the same time you make the very same mistakes that you're criticizing. You posted in what some might consider the wrong section, with the wrong topic title, and marked the thread as as a question despite the fact that there is not a single question in your post. Then you threw in insults to others by saying their posts and opinions on lag are dumb, and then went on to about four different issues that aren't related to your original subject.
The original premise of your OP was that we shouldn't clutter the forum with irrelevant posts, but then you did that very same thing with your post. It's certainly ironic, if not pretentious.
I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, just amused at the pot calling the kettle black situation here. This thread should die.
Well, you know the drill: MY concerns are serious bidness; YOUR concerns are frivolous garbage.
I restored 87 apps with Titanium Backup. No lag whatsoever. Everything runs smooth like butter. Much smoother than when I had the Vibrant. So that person obviously installed something to make it lag.
Man did I **** up. Haha. Sorry man.Your my boy regardless.

Why is everyone flaming so hard about the issues? Almost every model has some kind of defect. Just look on the other device's sub-forums on xda... You'll probably see tons of issues.

Because issues bother people, and rightfully so. Where else are we going to vent about them? When I buy something, I expect it to be perfect. If it's not, you betcha I'm going to be vocal about it.
People have every right to deliver their opinion as they seem fit as long as it doesn't personally offend anyone.
Just don't read the, they're your eyes and you control them.

Many get help by complaining about an issue.
If everyone was satisfied with their device as it came there would be no XDA!
I have read a few posts that have bothered me but that is life. Try not to let these bother you.
Read a few more and you will find helpful advice. People on XDA go out of their way to help with complaints and issues. For most a resolution is found.
Watching over time I see someone new asking for help and find later they are giving help to others. That is the essence of XDA.
I mainly complain about false advertising or so. I already know that, no device is perfect. There will be some sort of issue. Now, HTC when the One came out, with it's "Zero Gap Construction" and mine had a gaps on top and bottom, I was very vocal about it. like tobdaryl said, if a device was perfect, there wouldn't be a any XDA, and that would be terrible.
Hi all,
I bought the HTC One yesterday, I got a good deal cut price of £210 I'm in the UK (London). I previously had the Nexus 4, but I wanted something better looking, this phone certainly fits the bill. I posted on the suggest device thread before, most recommended the HTC One a week ago.
Today, I'm reading some threads in the HTC One section and it looks scary the amount of problems all kinds people are experiencing.
What is the root of all these problems? Is it to do with custom ROMs? I'm a simple user, I've never used anything but default/STOCK what the phone comes with.
The phone is still brand new. Should I sell it next week, get my money back and buy a Nexus 5?
If I don't update to 4.4.2 will it be safe to use?
Please advise, asap, thanks.
I'm referring to posts like cracking sounds with the speaker, loud speaker turning on by itself, purple tint on camera.

Duplicate thread as there is one in Q&A. Also comparison threads like this are against forum rules. They simply lead to posts like this phone is better than this phone which does not serve any purpose and can get very off-topic very quickly.
Many thanks,
Ghost
I'm just letting you guys know. I severely want this phone but I cannot afford it. I also have a really good phone in the Oneplus One right now but no matter how many times I tell myself no, I still want to buy the one m8.
very nice....thread reported for adding no value to the forum imho
