My M8s screen began separating in the middle - bowed upward at the midway between yop and bottom of screen. Sprint said it was physical damage and would not repair it despite having paid insurance for >2 years - had to go through insurance. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a defect...

Will (& WHEN) will HTC release security patch(es) for the "Quadrooter" security threat! Our M8s apparently are not getting the next android version, but [hopefully] HTC will see fit to continue to provide security patches for active HTC handsets! Anyone have information about this?

Suddenly, my M8 started flashing message "Unfortunately, calendar has stopped" and locks the screen until I press "OK". Tried to uninstall HTC Calendar updates and reinstall the updates and cleared Cache Partition, but still get the message. Any thoughts as to what the problem is and how to...

Past day my calendar not sync'ing with my Google calendar. I tried to manually trigger sync process, but have the circular arrows with line through and the message"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." The other Google items are sync'ing OK. Any thoughts?

Did I read that the HTC One M8 may not be getting the upcoming Android "N" OS according to some on-line posting lists? Sad that [if] HTC may use the philosophy of "Two Years and Be Gone" - HTC stopping update support of phones approximately 2 years after corporate release - sometimes not even...

Sorry to post here, but I cannot find another place to post. I would like to make a total copy [clone] of my M8's internal memory on Google Drive. How do I easily accomplish this??? Phone is not rooted, and I want to create the equivalent of a nandroid copy so that I can wipe (do a factory...

Since my phone updated to Android 6.0, "Google Services" has been using approximately 20% of battery (GSam Battery Monitor) even when phone not used. I thought that 6.0 was supposed to provide improved battery life. Any thoughts about what may be going on here?? [Stock HTC M8 phone on Sprint...

Not sure where to post this, but posted here since HTC 10 release is soon upon us, and it is relevant to new HTC models! It appears that one advantage of iPhones over android phones is the ability to back up [to 'the cloud'] the ENTIRE phone (including apps and their data) without the need to...

Forgive the naive question, BUT how do I perform a backup of my M8 - both internal and SD card contents? I cannot find instructions how to use Google Drive and WHAT it can do. Want to backup apps and their data as well as photos, etc. Any and all help appreciated!! (Phone not rooted.)

One of our M8s received a message this morning that there is an update to correct a battery issue caused by an earlier update. It further states that the update can only be delayed twice. (Option tabs are 'cancel' and 'update') We cancelled and then tried to manually select "HTC updates" from...

Us "Google Voice Typing" as one type of entering text. Today (for the first time) received message "google voice typing cannot be activated". Did not see any settings on phone for this. The phone is stock using stock messaging app. No apps added or updated recently. Rebooted phone and...

Has anyone gotten Android 6 for their M8 yet? (NOT Rooted, Sprint)

One of our M8s would not receive calls from one number - they would go to voice mail after two rings. Sprint CS tried several things from their end and updated the phone's profile. Still would not receive calls from that one number (no, the number was NOT on the blocked list). I took the...

Over the weekend, I received three system updates for my M8, but there was no change log. Does anyone know what these updates involved and modified?

I have HTC M8 with Android 5.02 on Sprint network. Which Security/antivirus/ (etc.) app in helpful in this day in age for this phone? Thanks!
