Using an AT&T HTC One M8 on Verizon account?

I won a new HTC One M8 at an AT&T open house and would like to use it on my Verizon account -- but the Verizon rep said they would not activate a non-Verizon phone? Is there a way to get around this? When I install my current Verizon SIM card I get an error message reading SIM could not be provisioned MM#2

There isn't the CDMA radios in the AT&T model. Even if the hardware is compatible, the IMEI number isn't in Verizon Wireless database of allowed devices.

HTC one ATT to Verizon?

Hi. A friend of mine is selling their HTC one phone but is connected to ATT. Is it possible to switch the phone from ATT to Verizon?

No. The radio hardware is incompatible.

What do I need to do to activate an iPhone 4 that used to be on AT&T to my Verizon account?

A friend of mine gave me his old iPhone 4 and I want to activate it on my Verizon account. He had AT&T, and heard I can activate it on my Verizon account if the IMEI is unlocked. Is this all that is needed to be done for me to activate it through Verizon?

An iPhone 4 from ATT will never work on Verizon Wireless because it doesn't have the CDMA radio needed to work on the Verizon Wireless network.
The ATT iphone will work on another GSM network if it is SIM unlocked. Your friend needs to request the unlock before giving it to you.

When will the Verizon HTC One (M8) finally get the Extreme Power Saving Mode software update?

Other carriers (AT&T, Sprint) already have it, but Verizon is taking forever apparently.
When will Verizon customers be able to download and use this new mode?
Thanks!

I recently bought an HTC One m8 from Verizon, and like many other customers the Extreme Power-saving Feature was one of my keys factors to deciding to buy. I was very disappointed to learn after the fact that Verizon had not included, and has no intention to include the feature in the future. (Mentioned in other threads in the forum). I've read the argument made that Verizon never advertised the feature and never said it would be included with their version of the phone, but they also never went out of the way to warn perspective buyers that the feature, which is part of the m8 phone on other carriers and marketed by HTC as a part of their phone wouldn't be included. When people are researching phones before they decide what to get they read what features the manufacturer(s) have designed and implemented in those phones, not search to find all the things the carrier may have stripped from the phone.
It's impractical and offensive to tell a customer that its his/her responsibility every time they buy a phone from them to dig deep into website forums and look for what they decided to remove from it that the manufacturer had built, and advertised to be in their phone. This is the type of thing that is bad PR for Verizon, and something that will make customers go to other carriers. I don't want to offend some of the nice Verizon employees who want to help their customers and simply don't have the power to correct the issue themselves, but its in Verizon's best interest to either fix their network to work with this feature, or find/hire someone else who will. Doing it soon before the issue escalates and news of Verizon's statement to do nothing to correct the issue for their HTC One m8 customers spreads like wildfire and burns them.
I hope someone at Verizon doesn't let the rest of the company go on ignoring the issue and steps up to find a way to enable Extreme Power Saving Mode on the Verizon Network. Right now the impression many people have is something along the lines of: now that you've bought a phone from us, and signed up for a contract with us we don't care what you want and think.
In the meantime it would be a good idea to enable the option in the phone with a popup message when enabled that reads something along the lines of: Verizon has concluded that in some cases Extreme Power Saving Mode can cause network issues. If you experience network issues please disable extreme power saving mode and return to one of the other power modes. Verizon will continue to research the issue, and will institute a fix if/when a solution is found.

HTC One M8 Issues

HTC
One M8 (2014 Model)
HTC One_M8
Android 4.4.2 - HTC Sense 6.0 (Stock ROM)
Carrier - EE, handset is locked to the network.
Skype version 4.7.0.43514
I have found a number of issues when using Skype on the HTC One M8. If you are playing Music on the device and someone calls you, for about 2 seconds into the ring Skype will make the Music you are playing quiet whilst the Ring Tone takes the higher volume. After this 2 second period the Music will continue to play at the same volume as the Ring Tone is playing at until you either hang up or answer. If you hang up/don't answer the call and continue to play music, after around 2-5 minutes the top speaker on the HTC One will stop working. The only way to fix this is by signing out of Skype and closing the application, then signing back in. The top speaker will not work for ALL applications, so even if you stop playing Music from the applcation you were using and switch to another, the issue will still persist.
Another issue I am having, is trying to send files. Whenever I try to send a file from my device, when the reciptent accepts it my phone will still show "Waiting to accept", but it gets worse. I have only been able to send a file when clicking "Take Picture", otherwise if I try to select a local document or picture to send to a contact I get an error message saying "File must be saved on device" when it clearly is saved on the device, otherwise I would not be able to select it.
I have tried this on multiple HTC One M8 handsets, and have been able to reproduce on all.
Another minor issue, though I believe this to be releated to the background task killing in the M8 software, is that sometimes if I am logged into Skype on my phone (I have the notification enabled on constand) sometimes it will disconnect, and so all messages/calls will not be recieved until I manually open the application. Note that the status in the top left of my notification bar does not change, it shows me as logged in. But when I scroll the bar down and click on Skype to go to the application the application will flash and log me back in and then all my messages will come through at once.
I hope you are able to fix these issues ASAP.

My Skype acts very weird. When in use it would allow about 10 to 15 seconds working " normal " and then it restarts bidding anything that you've been doing until then, can't text, can't call. I've tried removing it, re installed it, rebooting, nothing works. I use my Skype for work, all my customers use Skype, HTC and Skype need to fix this

I'm getting ugly vertical stripes at pictures and background images on my HTC One S.

I like using Firefox on my HTC One S, syncing the browsing history and bookmarks really comes in handy.
But however, sometimes i get ugly stripes above some images. When resizing the site, they sometimes disappear. It happens only with images and css-background images.

I think you can thank Apple for this. See this discussion.

Lync 2010 Menu Option in HTC One V

I am using Lync 2010 with HTC One V (Andriod 4.0). Although application is working fine but not able to Sign Out and Search contacts. As per the design of HTC One V it doesn't have Menu option to access Search and Sign Out Options. Please advise.
Thanks

Hi,
Please download the latest version of Lync 2010 and install it again. Please check if it is the cause the Mobile can not show all the lync client interface and menu.

Is my HTC One M7 unlocked?

I have an HTC One M7 from verizon. I want to switch to TMobile. I haven't done any modification to the phone. my question is, is the phone already unlocked? or do i have to unlock it first? Also, how can i check if it is unlocked with out another sim? i want to make sure it is unlocked before i even buy the new sim card

I can help provide clarification, noize313.
All of our 4G devices come pre unlocked, however they are made to work optimally on the Verizon network and you may not have access to all services on other networks.
It is unfortunate that you are considering leaving Verizon. May I ask why that might be? I'd much rather help turn things around and allow you to use your device on the great network it was built for!
Thank you,

Why wont verizon have a version of the HTC One?

I know this has been talked about...and that most everyone out there is all hyped up about the next samsung galaxy, but as soon as the HTC one came out i was glued to it... until they announced the carriers. No Verizon version. WTH?? Im telling you BIG RED...you have two choices now that my contract is almost up. You either a) announce some stupidly named droid device that is very much akin to this HTC one...(maybe with a better battery)...or b)i will switch to sprint and say...bu-bye
Title edited by: Verizon Moderator

verizon dont like carrying phones that other carriers carry. the galaxy s 3 and note 2 are exceptions because the market share for those devices are big so they would lose big time money not to carry them..
verizon prefer manufacturers to make exclusive verizon phones EX: HTC DROID DNA... SAMSUNG DROID CHARGE MOTOROLA DROID LINES.
samsung put its foot down last year by making the SGS III identical across all US carriers. verizon had no choice but to swallow the pill. good for samsung now HTC its trying to follow samsung steps. verizon feels that they wont lose much money by not carrying the htc one
NOW HERE IS THE REASON WHY VERIZON DECIDED NOT TO CARRY HTC ONE.
Imagine verizon advertising the HTC ONE in a TV AD ..... why would a new customer get and HTC ONE from verizon when that same new customers can get it from t mobile and save big time money over the course of 2 years??
verizon only like phones they can tout as exclusive.
hopefully the HTC DROID DNA is the last droid phone we will ever see.
If manufactures start selling the same device year after year across all carriers... Carriers like verizon will lose its stranglehold in the industry. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.

HTC One M7 ... How to use in FRANCE with french Sim Card ?

Hello,
I'm french and I was in US for few month ... I bought and used an HTC One M7 Verizon with a prepaid card and everything was OK.
Now i'm back to FRANCE and i would like to use it with a French SIM Card.
The sim card is detected by the phone but the thing is that only work on Edge ... no 3G or 4G ... so i can call or received call with Edge but no way to go on internet as i don't have 3G.
The french sim card is 3G-4G ready ... is there something i can do on the phone configuration to have 3G/4G
Thanks a lot for your help

Hello zorin!
I can understand your desire to use the phone you recently purchased on the network in France! All of our 4G LTE phones are automatically unlocked for international use. However, they are designed primarily for use on the Verizon network, and it is possible that they will not work to their top performance capabilities on another network.
You can reach out to HTC to find out if there are any other options for getting your device to work bettery in France. HTC can be reached at 866-449-8358.
Thank you,

I had to perform a master reset on my HTC one, before doing so the phone was backed up using the backup assistant app. Now there is no restore button I can find to get my contacts back. How do I restore my contacts?

I had to perform a Master Reset on my HTC One while trying to work through an issue. This was done with a Verizon rep on the phone and we performed a backup using backup assistant. Now I am not able to restore my contacts because I do not have a "restore" soft button when I open the backup assistant app. How do I restore my contacts?

Have you updated the dreaded Backup Assistant program? I think you need to do this first before you can restore.
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/backup-assistant-plus/37643125-d0d8-4727-8e2d-1a18476d65c6
If you are using a Microsoft Account for HTC restore your stuff and get off the Backup Assistant and use Windows Phone's native backup, Learn about Windows Phone backup | Windows Phone How-to (United States) and you'll never have to go through this again

Can I use the nano sim card from my HTC One (M8) for an iPhone 6?

I am getting a Mac and with Yosemite, it's geared towards iPhones. So, I have decided I want to get an iPhone 6. However, I don't want to spend the extra money to upgrade through AT&T. If I order the iPhone 6 off the internet, can I put the nano sim from my current phone (HTC One M8) into the iPhone 6?

A lot would also depend on where on the internet you are making the phone purchase from. Are you trying to purchase an AT&T phone from Apple, or something else? I'm guessing you are located in the US?

Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone. Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
However, there is one very annoying problem I am having. When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic. I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
Here are the tests I ran:
Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear. Call result, pretty muffled voice. I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone. This definatelyimproved call quality. Was louder and clearer, but not perfect. I'd rate it at 8/10.
Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic. This was a further improvement in sound quality. Rating would be 9/10.
Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole. Very low volume and muffled sound. Rating a 4/10.
Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic. This gave perfect call quality and volume. Rating a 10/10!
Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone. Call quality was really nice. Id give it 9/10.
Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7. Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand. Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7. Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
Speaker phone on, placed face down on table. Volume a bit low, a little muffled. Call quality 6/10.
Speaker phone on, place face up on table. A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled. Call quality is 5/10.
Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection. It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality. And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good. That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
Is anyone else seeing the same issues? I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!
