I have a HTC One, but I have a huge problem with the battery life. I check the battery usage and see that google services is using 81% of the battery. Can't seem to find a genuine solution to lowering this.
So, I've has the HTC M8 for about a week now, and I'm absolutely blown away by it. This thing is bloody amazing. Can't believe how cool it looks, however I've had the dot view case on for the most part as I don't have a proper screen protector just yet. The case is very handy though, although a tad hard to get used to as it doesn't fold all the way back. You really have to use two hands if you have it on as it feels like you might drop it.
I've only just loaded it up with music this morning. I'd been showing off the speakers to everyone with just the few sample songs on there, and they were in shock with how good they are. But just listening to it now with my music on, it's actually scary how loud they are. I'd been showing everyone with the volume up about 2 notches below full, but at the moment I have it on half way and it is blitzing the volume of the sample tracks. I'm too scared to go any further! It's crazy.
Before I got it, I was a little worried about the camera, but those worries have been quickly put to rest. It's definitely good enough for what most people do with mobile photos. Very sharp and vibrant pictures. The post editing software is pretty cool too. I haven't really had much time to play around with it, but from what I've seen so far it's sweet.
And the battery is an absolute beast! Each day I've had it, I've been using it pretty solidly, but I've only been charging it every second day. Most of the time just before I go to bed on the first night, there's well over 3/4's left. It's very hard to run it past half way, that's for sure. And most of this is with mobile data or wifi on constantly.
It's a damn shame that this phone will get overlooked for the Galaxy or iPhone. From what I've seen of the new Galaxy, it has nothing on the M8 (besides camera). Waterproof? Honestly, how many people damage their phone with water? Fingerprint scanner? I read just this morning that it's been hacked already by just holding up a picture of a print. And it looks like a dogs breakfast too.

I reckon the One X was way ahead of it's time though and still a very solid phone. Used mine for two years. Only thing I was disappointed with was the camera.Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up.
I'm happy with my HTC ONE X I'm happy with my HTC ONE X....
Damn you.
I'm having trouble with setting up my internet browser on my s5 and I can't find a certain option in settings. I want to open new Windows behind the one I'm browsing instead of it coming up in front. If you know what I mean? Anyone able to help?
Edit : btw the battery in the s5 is an absolute beast.
Did you get it on a plan or unlocked?Thanks dav3, using chrome now.
Well a small review about the s5, the battery life in this thing is amazing. Right now after a 8 hour working day my battery is still on 87% I'm running next 3D launcher, a custom live wallpaper that changes pictures ever 10 seconds. The only thing I do is turn off mobile data when I'm not using the phone, it's a habit I have now since the battery was shocking in my s2.
Telstra $82 a month with 1.5g, why you ask?Did you get it on a plan or unlocked?
Am looking to get it. But I'm not sure to get it on a plan.Telstra $82 a month with 1.5g, why you ask?
I was already paying $64 a month on my s2 and that contract runs out at the end of this month. You need a minimum of 1.5g a month with a smart phone these days, and those plans are at least $50?Am looking to get it. But I'm not sure to get it on a plan.
Voda 4G S5 with 3GB Data for $60.I was already paying $64 a month on my s2 and that contract runs out at the end of this month. You need a minimum of 1.5g a month with a smart phone these days, and those plans are at least $50?
A s5 outright off eBay is what right now? $800 at a guest? 24 months x $50 = $1200. So it's $2000 and my 24 month plan comes to a total of 1950 roughly, so it's pretty much the same either way imo no real difference.
I personally wouldn't touch anyone other than Telstra, I've tried optus an Vodafone and they were shocking. I've been basing my figures off Telstra.
Telstra encore cap is great.Outright + prepaid is the way to go. I'm done being locked into contracts with telcos.
I would have agreed with you until recently, but I'd quite enjoy having 3gb now. With my new phone being 4G I've been watching live footy on my phone via the app on lunch breaks etc at work. Only 10 days into my plan and have almost used 1gb of my 1.5 limitSeriously who uses 3Gb data per month on their mobile? I'm a pretty heavy user and rarely use more than 1 Gb, I use wifi for data whenever I'm home and 4G when at work and out and about.
