The problems and solutions of HTC One M8

  The gorgeous looking and unique features make the HTC One M8 more attractive. Although we like it very much, it has some deficiency. From the users, we figure out some common problems. In this article, I’ll give you the potential solutions to deal with them. Hope these tips can help you to a large certain degree.

  A lot of people have had issues with the camera lens on the HTC One M8 getting scratched. Over time it can pick up so many scratches that it has an impact on the photos you are taking. The general consensus is that the scratching generally shows up on a special coating that’s an extra layer on top of the glass lens, possibly to reduce reflections or fingerprint smudges. If you can take it back to HTC or your carrier without a major hassle, then there’s a good chance they’ll be able to replace it or fix it for you. The advantage here is that they’ll make sure the coating stays intact or replace it. A lot of people have reported success by using toothpaste or another mild abrasive to remove the coating, leaving a pristine glass lens beneath. If you do try this then make sure you are very gentle and don’t use anything too powerful. The disadvantage is that you no longer have the protective coating. You could consider replacing it yourself with a screen protector.

  Some people are panicking after their One M8 refuses to turn on, even though it should have power. They’ve tried plugging it into the charger and holding the power button, but to no avail. This is actually a common problem with smartphones and it’s usually easy to fix. The first thing to try is just holding down the Power button for a while. Hold it down for much longer than you normally would and just wait. Time yourself for 20 seconds. Now try holding down Power and Volume up together for 10 seconds or so and it should restart. If that doesn’t work then turn the phone off and try holding down the Power and Volume down buttons together for a similar length of time. You should get a menu with an option to reboot. If it still isn’t switching on then try plugging it into your PC via USB and then work through the steps above again. If none of that works then you need to contact HTC.

  A number of people have found that the LED isn’t working on their new HTC One M8. It’s supposed to flash for notifications, such as a new email or a text message. Most people are reporting that it works for charging and low battery, by displaying orange or green, although it may be dim, but it isn’t flashing at all for notifications. First you need to check in Settings > Display & gestures > Notification light and make sure that it is turned on for the notifications you want. There’s a good chance that the LED not working is related to a specific app. You can test this by booting into safe mode. Hold down the Power button until the options pop up and then tap and hold Power off until the Reboot to safe mode option appears and tap Restart to confirm. You’ll see the words “Safe mode” at the bottom left corner of the screen if it worked. Alternatively, you can power the phone off completely then press and hold the power button until the HTC logo appears, let go of the power button and press and hold the volume down button until safe mode appears at the bottom left. Simply hold down the power button and then choose Restart to get out of safe mode. If you’re still having problems and it doesn’t seem to be app related then you should request a replacement handset.

  Despite the pretty screen on the HTC One M8, there have been some complaints about dead pixels — pixels that won’t light up — and stuck pixels — ones that are permanently on — with the displays. This can ruin the viewing experience for the One M8 user. Some users suggest leaving your screen on for 30 minutes or so on full brightness in an effort to burn away the dead pixels. Return the handset and get a replacement with a screen that doesn’t have this problem.
