I went ahead and installed Windows 10 on my HTC One M8 - Any questions?

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.

I have HTC one m8 and I feel my HTC pics and videos look better than Ms camera

I'm giving the w10 beta a go today.

One question. Do games take advantage of w10? For instance, I also own a Galaxy S6 and my gf owns the iPhone 6. I downloaded and started playing Gods of Rome like crazy over the weekend on the HTC One 8.1 - because it's a free game, I decided to download it on the S6 as well and there is a HUGE difference in visuals/graphics. The Windows version looks very watered down and generic, it's lacking the lighting, shading and other effects that both her iPhone 6 and my Galaxy S6 have. Is this just a typical port to Windows or does W10 allow for better graphics?

I ask only because I'm wondering if this will become a trend. I don't see the HTC One as lacking in the hardware department.

Is anyone else having screen freeze after a phone call, and sometimes it only vibrates with incoming calls, it does not happen on every call but just enough to be very irritating, putting it to sleep and waking it up will unfreeze the screen.

Phone freeze after most calls yes.I just lock the screen and unlock it, it's back in Action.
This is much better than my windows 8.1 updates where I had auto zoom auto mute and auto redial issues.
The earlier preview build windows 10 , had to do frequent soft resets it used to
Completely freeze and one bricked a phone too.

Other than this small freeze which gets fixed by screen lock and back, this version is so far no other major issues

Question for the experts in this forum...

With Win 10 update I finally wanted to start playing around with "casting" and connecting to a wireless display. Does this phone not support this functionality? If I try this on my Win 10 PC, I can see my Roku and my TV which I can throw things too wirelessly. But if I try this on my m8 using Win 10, say from within myTube! app, none of my supported devices can be seen?

I never tried any of this while on 8.1 and from what I see, you needed a dongle or some adapter to do this anyway?

Mine won't show picture background in the start screen. Any solutions yet?

 

[Kevin Hill2]

I have never had problems with Background pictures on the start screen, I change mine weekly. I am running the latest build.

I had this issue a couple of builds back - hard reset did it for me.

Errors downloading outlook update... Anyone?

How has your experience been a year later with your M8? Do you still have/use it? I want to upgrade via the Insider program, but I'm really nervous about possibly having issues on a phone that's my daily driver.

 

[Kevin Hill2]

The Release version runs extremely well and I use it daily and love it. Now I am not sure you can still get the insider program for the M8, I can no longer get fast or slow insider updates, but I did get the last full release update. So all I can really tell you, is try joining the insider program and if you can join on your M8, do the release download and enjoy your Windows 10 M8.

 

[teddystiles]

I'm downloading the "Insider Release Preview" now, so it seems to still work.

I'm sweating bullets, though. Curse you, Microsoft/HTC/AT&T for doing this to me! I owned fastest Windows Phone 8.1 device, purchased it new LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, promised that it would receive Windows 10 Mobile, and you ultimately left me out in the cold without a single reason given.

That's why when I get an iPhone I'm switching, I can't deal with this crap that Microsoft/HTC is giving the m8.

Microsoft isn't giving the M8 a bunch of crap. It's giving it the latest OS of Win 10 that can run on an over 2 year old phone. I just upgraded to the newest pre-release version this morning an it seems to e quite stable. I think you will find the grass to be the same brown shade for Ios as it is for any over two year old phone.

It's giving it the latest OS of Win 10 that can run on an over 2 year old phone.

But that's just it. They aren't. The "latest OS of Win 10" that could run on the M8 would be actual Win 10, not the preview. From what I can tell, the M8 was among, if not the, fastest Windows Phone 8.1 devices released, and runs the preview beautifully. Presumably because of the low install base, MS/HTC decided not to pay carriers to test and release Windows 10 for it.

That means, I believe, that the M8 is effectively abandoned. I have to imagine iOS upgrades at least include two generations before, much less one generation (two years old or not, the M8 is the immediately previous generation to Windows 10, and lesser phones are receiving the upgrade).

All that said, I installed it last night, and it's running like a champ, even without a hard reset. If I knew it was going to be so seamless, I would have done it months ago! My about screen reads:

Version 1511
OS Build: 10.0.10586.107

Am I on the best/latest build for HTC One M8? Has anyone on the M8 seen their version magically start getting post-release builds?

 

[Kevin Hill2]

I'm running, version 1511, OS build 10.0-10586.218, and I have insider set to the release build.

 

[teddystiles]

Interesting. I wonder how you got 218? Does it have to do with your carrier? Does that mean you're on the actual branch that will receive future updates?

 

[chevypad]

The M8 in my family is set to download .242 on release preview.
