Did you go back to 8.1 first? That is required.

 

[Helder Costa1]

double tap to wake is now working on the htc one m8 in the build 581... great...

 

[rtwright68]

Double-tap to wake is working with build 10581. Surprised the crap out of me when I tried it!

I just installed W10 on mine and everything seems to be working. Will this be the new norm now or will Verizon keep us from getting normal updates after this is over?

Thanks.. MG

HTC one m 8 had windows 10 moved to fast updates and the phone went bad. Got a htc one m8 was still under warranty . now with windows 8 but severe phantom touches. any fixes

 

[redmisfitx]

Have you tried the Dot View Case?

 

[thecaringkind]

I must admit that everything seems to be working very smoothly so far on the latest build. Very snappy and much more fluid and responsive. MS had stepped it's game up.

well its working well but cantt add my google accounts and lock screen hasnt got time and no cortana

 

[Mallguvner]

Mine has gotten progressively worse with more freezes as I go on. (latest insider build) My Voicemail stopped the other day. No idea what to even do about that since I can't find a Verizon voicemail app in the store. Anyone know anything about that. Probably about to post a question on that. Camera is flaky and the freezes can affect anything. I have a lot of trouble going to speaker for instance. Most of the stuff works really well but there's a few nasties...

Agreed that things have gotten worse the longer I've run the build. I don't see freezes but I do get random reboots. Also start screen blank/draw issues. Also sometimes apps won't start/crash. Reboot fixes all of these things but it is starting to get annoying.

 

[Mallguvner]

The latest build sure fixed a lot of things. But as of today I can say that a few things are still needed to stabilize the build. When carrying the phone and using the screen to answer a call. Pressing answer doesn't always do it. Putting a call on hold is much better then the last build but it's a pain at times. Using the Bluetooth and Cortana has been a pleasure and I really have decided pretty much that this phone is better made than the newest 950 yet doesn't have that camera. I have a Canon 50D w/ a bunch of really expensive glass and I might be over the craving. Going to the Microsoft Store in the morning with my buddy who works for Microsoft so I won't promise I'll behave but tonight I'm pretty determined that I can make it with the M8. Probably never been a better made Windows phone.

RobNHL... what does the name signify? I shoot pictures for a local high schools hockey team with the aforementioned camera. NHL mean anything in your name?

Picked up a VZW One M8 and quickly ran the patched Preview for Developers app to get it running on T-Mobile. My next step was putting 10586.11 on it and it's fantastic. Hard to believe they fixed so much in such a short time from the builds released just a month or so ago.

I installed it today on a AT&T version it was running horrible so I rolled back to WP 8.1.

I've been carrying that uname for a long time - since at least 1995 (Atari Explorer, Z*Net, & ST Report: ST Report: 20-Oct-95 #1141-2). I started using it when I still had time to be a big hockey fan (go Bolts!).

I have three questions about the Win10 experience on this phone:

1. Do Cortana's location-based reminders work consistently?
2. Are you able to reliably calibrate the compass in any maps-based app that needs it?
3. Does the HTC Camera app still work?

The HTC M8 appears to be in the first round of phones that will get the official update, but the carriers could delay that for months. It would be nice to know what to expect if I go the Insiders' route, especially for these three concerns.

 

[kristofpetho]

I can only answer the third one - it works, but not good. The picture you see is quite slow, pictures are snapped slowly and location info is not saved. For this alone I use the MS Camera app.

But TBH the Microsoft Camera app is damn good. It can record 1080p 60FPS and quality is top notch, and the Camera takes really good pics, including HDR.
