Just went to ATT and played with the M8 and the install time of the apps is damn impressive. I think I'm sold, not worried about the I6 since I have another upgrade in December.

Just got my new, non-defective M8. Things are already looking good.
@pianoman52 I had that issue (& several more) with my first M8. Annoying as all hell. Will check when I'm in the house if the problem persists in this new one.
Edit: My Wi-Fi issue was slightly different. The problem was at work with an open network, I had to repeatedly sign in.

Can anyone enlighten me about Google Hangouts? I have 3 Gmail accounts, but none of my friends really use it. Are there other uses for it if my contacts don't use Google Chat?

You gotta get tempered glass if your not gonna use a case. I got my tempered glass in 4 days ago and was going caseless dropped my nexus because I missed my pocket and the glass cracked. I'm just gonna use a case from now on its just not worth the risk.

This explains part of the reason why the M8 experience is so fast and smooth. Usually the Android experience seemed sluggish in comparison to the iOS devices across the board, even while having increasingly more powerful processors. It is because of the screen latency. HTC has managed to create a device with a latency lower than even the 5s. This has more effect on the speed and responsiveness of the device than just about anything else.Record-breaking display responsiveness (touch latency) on the HTC One M8
Microsoft explained that high performance touch performance is becoming increasingly key aspect of a mobile device's user experience.
Microsoft report on Display latency
Apparently the HTC One's diplay latency is record breaking - measured at 46ms.
Source: Lesnumeriques.fr
It is not at the 1-20ms recommended by Microsoft but it is a great step forward considering the fact that modern devices barely go below 70ms. The previous record was held by the Note 3 with 67ms.
Newer devices:
Here is an overview for older devices:
- Note 3: 67ms
- LG G2: 110ms
- iPhone 5S: 75ms (same as iPhone 5)
And for the guy who said that the phone couldnt possibly be faster or more responsive than the G2, here you go. Nowadays, benchmarks mean nothing. Having almost equivalent processing power means nothing nowadays in terms of the final user experience. Cramming more and more powerful hardware into phones just isnt cutting it any more. Shoot all phones nowadays are way more powerful than we need anyway lol. Actual software/hardware innovation and optimization is what's going to set phones apart moving forward.

You can use it to send your texts now, but there are so many other and better text apps out there, that theres no point.

I'm messing around with the S5. The fingerprint reader is a joke. Apple nailed it with theirs. This one you have to swipe downwards. I haven't been able to unlock the phone on the first try yet! Holding the phone feels markedly better than the M8 though...although not nearly as nice as the N5 or G2. The camera is better than the others though. The S5 doesn't feel nearly as cheap as the past few Galaxies. The dimpled back is a lot less slippery than the M8 or G2 (doesn't come close to the N5). TouchWiz doesn't seem as ugly anymore (not that I would leave it on here). It's not as clownish.

Right now as I have the phones, the HTC because I am running Vanilla Android. When the S5 gets Vanilla I will prefer that one. Out of the box though...It's hard to say. I don't really care for skins, so I would have to base it on feel and camera. Based on that criteria, I would pick the Galaxy. It's less clumsy feeling and has a better camera. Still....G2 & N5 > M8 & S5

Yeah I see that. I love my n5 and it is cheap and a beast. Before that I had a galaxy s2
but it was rooted and running the newest android always. It was barely hanging on though. Joint had been to Nam and back. Straight trooper.

That last part is extremely hard for me to believe and ridiculous considering these phones are brand new and haven't been put through their paces yet. The screens, battery, software, cameras, etc. are all improved on the One and S5. G2 and N5 are great devices but they are in no means "better" than these new phones. Especially the GPE of the new One
