I'll have to load it up, I saw that out of all the roms on xda that this was the one downloaded more often than the rest.

What toolkit are you using to unlock and root with?

Yea thats what I'm worried about , I have been reading and it seems that there still are some issues with unlocking and rooting VZW M8's.

I thought there were only some issues with latest S-off...I think unlock and root good though ..I've not kept up with Verizon info .

Got my M8 in pretty Verizon red around 5:00 pm on Friday, had it rooted by 8:30, mostly so I could use Titanium Backup to restore from my old phone. Worked like a charm with only very minor issues so far.

Coming over from a Droid RAZR MAXX. Love the large and surprisngly clear screen. Love how zippy it is compared to my Droid. Getting a real kick out of the double-tap to wake up.

Battery life seems pretty good. I'm at 63% after having spent most of the morning in an area with very limited 4G (usually it drops down to 3G or even 1x) because I screwed up connecting to my work's wi-fi network.

I find having the notification light buried behind the speaker grille a little awkward, but, in a way, oddly stylish.

I miss some aspects of CyanogenMod, though I believe I could install that if I wanted to? I'm not seeing anything especially compelling me towards installing a ROM yet.

I just upgraded from the DNA to the m8. The overall size is very similar but the build quality is amazing. I cannot imagine going back to a phone without front facing speakers. I have noticed the signal strength is a little bit weaker than the DNA.

Congrats. Enjoy your new toy.

I just upgraded about a month ago from the DNA too. Loved my DNA, but 16GB and no sd slot was killing me.

Now I got a 64GB micro dedicated strictly to music and the on board 32Gb is for apps and photos. The M8 is the best android phone I've owned yet.

I picked one up yesterday and I am pleased with the device. I do have a minor complaint about the overall length of the phone though. I run and use a sportsband to hold my phone in place and unfortunately this unit is too long for my current band. I'll just have to find another. With that minor issue aside my purchase of this phone came with a warning from the sales rep. She started off saying this phone was completely designed for the highest quality playback of music. Then she decided to inform me that the dual front-facing speakers have been known to be blown out if the volume was turned to max level. I don't see HTC letting a design flaw like this slip through so my question to the forum is: "Has anyone had an issue with the speakers messing up yet?"

First I heard of any issue with the speakers... glad ya like it!

 

[bkdodger]

No issues at all with speakers...I turn them up plenty ..congrats on phone

I picked mine up on the 4th, coming from the Bionic. So far so good, now thinking about root although I don't really need it for anything yet.

Gee, not a lot of activity here. Anyway, finally took the plunge and did S-off, rooted, and TWRP for recovery. I haven't installed a custom ROM yet but have done a nandroid of stock and Viper on the external SD ready to flash. It looks like a pretty nice ROM! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292
