Today (12-12-2014) I dumped my Verizon Nokia ICON Win Phone (done with the 'sudden battery drain' issue!!) for an Verizon HTC One M8 for Windows.
OS: 8.10.14141.167
Firmware: 2061.30.10602.605
"No updates available - your phone is up to date"
If you plug in the charger when the device is OFF, it *definitely* turns the M8 ON.
Conversely, if charger is plugged and you turn the M8 OFF, it immediately turns back ON.
GOT to love this forum ... because I was asking myself ... "WTF ??? Why is this M8 powering ON when the charger is in??"
And I was asking myself this because ... I can state DEFINITELY for SURE ... the ICON did *not* do this. ICON was running the 8.0 OS with the most recent update ... when I handed turned it in today at a Verizon Corp store.
As a side note ... I was SHOCKED the store actually had an HTC One M8 for Windows. The 'sales rep' (and I do mean SALES) hates WinPhones and actually tried to get me to do Android ... but nothing new here. The guy was a real aHole ... nothing new there either.
And yes, I got hosed. I have 3.5 months left on Edge for a no cost update. BUT ... I simply could not stand another 3 months of an unreliable smart phone ... with the well documented 'sudden battery drain' issue.
Reeeeeally hoping that is not going to happen with the M8.
