hey guys I know that after android 2.3 google did not allow us to move apps to sd card but manufactures like htc(desire x, desire 600 etc) samsung(s4,grand, core etc)and sony(Xperia c) allowed us to move apps to SD card, so my question is not that kit kat allows us to move apps to SD card or not, my question is whether HTC has given the option in m8 to move apps to SD card or not??

      AnonD-116479, 11 May 2014Unfortunately Android Kitkat version doen't allow you to move apps into the SD card. This is n... moreOhh. I didn't know about that. Also I have come to know that kitkat doesn't give freedom to 3rd party file browsers. And if I am correct, m8 doesnt have a built in file browser. So doesn't it give problems??? How do you cope with that?

      I don't think moving apps to sd card is a problem. I have many apps on the sd card on my s4. And it is at 4.4.2. So it's the decision of htc to not allow people to do it. In one way it's good as many people buy cheap sd cards and put their apps in it and later blame it on the phone for not performing up to the mark.

      I still am confused as I didn't get to interact with anyone owning exynos s5.

      Have a nice day

        AnonD-68356, 10 May 2014Does the new HTC ONE M8 has an option to move apps to sd card??please answerUnfortunately Android Kitkat version doen't allow you to move apps into the SD card. This is not an issue of the M8, many phones which running Android Kitkat are having this problem.

        I personally hate this SD Card. A 64 GB internal memory without SD card is more than sufficient to me.

                      By far the best designed phone of 2014. The elegance and decency of this phone is inexpressible.

The camera of the M8 is good but not perfect. Its low-light performances are stunning. However, daylight performances are not so good as the Galaxy S5 or Lumia phones, but it's not disappointing you.

                        Overall the M8 is an excellent phone that you will never boring.

Masterjee had foreign version before launch and I have purchased the indian version on the launch day itself. Other than that many retailers are already having the phone. And the slippery part. It's a bit slippery but you won't notice it in our city temperature.

                              warap, 10 May 2014This comment page is a novel. I hope someday there will be private mode for dialogues.Sorry for the inconvenience caused by our comments. But frankly htc forums are the only ones which have sensible people and interaction can be done. Samsung forums are filled by trolls and Samsung haters who bash the phones. Sony and apple forums are filled with their respective die hard fans who will never break their brand loyalty.

                              The forums are haphazard for initial 1 or 2 months for every phone but after that only the actual users will come here and hence you won't have any problems.

                              I won't post any long useless off-topic posts from now. Once again, sorry.

                              Have a nice day

Unfortunately th... moreHey thanks for pointing out your views about the S5. Honestly I was thinking about buying it yesterday. You are totally right about the back cover, those dotted band aid type looks are really bad, but it will give you more grip undoubtedly, which is a big plus really.

                                      No, here in Kolkata, the local stores still don't have any M8, they are saying it will come this Monday. But I will be only given a dummy version to check out, which is meaningless. About the grip on the M8, it's quite clear from the XDA posts that the Gunmetal Grey is the most slippery one, so I will avoid it at any cost. Silver will be my choice, as it gives much more grip than the Grey version, again this is as per XDA users, however by seeing the number of users I can safely assume they are right.

                                      About Samsung and chipset confusion, I have nothing to say really. 60k for Snapdragon version? Jeez! It's selling on eBay for 39k, from a hugely reputable seller. So if I get the S5 it will be that one surely, yes I won't have any warranty, but I honestly don't care about it.

                                      The decision is just getting harder and harder. On one hand the beautiful metal M8 of fantastic build quality with sexy and fluid Sense, with a beautiful speaker which will help for calls with crisper and much richer voice, loud too, but an awful camera, and on the other hand a plastic phone of very good build quality with great grip at lightweight with IP67 certification and a really nice camera, way better than M8's but with awful laggy and bloated TouchWiz, and basically minimal to no support from XDA. S5's LED is also much brighter and bigger and prominent than M8.

                                      Frak!

The design feels the same as s4 but Phone fits great in hand and the perforated back is great. It provides good grip and feel. Wondering how m8 will feel as it must me much better. Anyways, let's come to the point.

                                        The phone was fast and didn't even feel warm after using heavily for 30 min. I doubted as exynos must get atleast a little warm. I went to the about phone to check the phone version but they listed as sm g900x. And that means we can't find it that way. So I restarted the phone. Still the model no. Didn't appear when phone was starting. Finally I sent the cpu z apk to the phone and found out that it was the snapdragon version. This is really double standards by Samsung. The demo units are snapdragon and they sell us exynos. How can they do this. I asked the store manager and he didn't even know that there are 2 versions. Stupid. Now I'm confused as I can't even try exynos before buying. When I asked him that can he get me snapdragon he told that he'll take 60k. I'm pissed off.

                                        What have you found out. Tried m8??

                                        have a nice day
