It goes from 4g to h+ when I'm out depending on where I go and in the office and home WiFi and cellular as my Internet connection sucks at home
I see. I'm just trying to verify whether your SOT is wifi or 4G. It makes a huge difference IMO which you use. Int eh past, it can be like a 50% difference on say a Nexus 4 or Nexus 5. Not sure if the OPPO has a better radio, but typically Wifi does a lot better because almost all the time wifi implies good data connectivity, whereas 3G/4G is subject to congestion and signal quality.

On another note I just found out today that CM11 has wake gestures integrated. Considering it has a lot of the fixes people were complaining about I'm thinking of jumping from CM11S to CM11.

The Hexo theme and OPO apps (really just camera and gallery) that I care about are easily port-able. And honestly I don't care for that lockscreen. The slider lockscreen is still my pick.

I used it the exact same way I use the Note 3. I get pretty much 100% extra battery life time on it.

Buying that screen protector and the cheapo Orzly hard case for my OPO. If I don't like the case I'll keep it as a backup and get the Diztronic case next.

Oh, LOL:

2 items will be shipped to Kristy Faulkner by G-HUB. Estimated delivery: Aug. 27, 2014 - Sept. 10, 2014

I'd better be careful for the next month huh?

I thought about the CM M8 build but so far I'm ok with 11S, but I'm using the Holo theme and trying to make the interface as close to vanilla Kitkat as possible. I even installed the GEL, but I am using Nova Prime still.

Which fixes are you interested in getting by installing CM11 M8?

I believe OK Google volume is fixed.

Screen is less yellow

Earpiece volume is fixed.

4.4.4

Vibrations working properly w/ quiet hours.

Minor stuff really. I just got really antsy waiting for the OTA, which should be anytime now anyway. I think the bigger thing is that I can cure my flashaholic syndrome with CM11 if it has the main features of CM11S that I care about.

Is there a list of people who's needing an invite?
If not should we create one so everyone has a chance of getting one?

I don't think we have a list but could be a good idea. In the meantime I'm looking for what service I would switch to when I do get one.

Why you didn't like it? I have an m7 currently unlocked and rooted but I would never go back to an iPhone.

No I liked it alot. I'm going to flip the HTC One and the Iphone

The htc one is still price worthy to sell. You may have better luck on Swappa. Don't use eBay. I sold a DNA on eBay for only $150 and $20 of that was in fees. The m7 is selling for close to $200 but that's also including the 32gb model I have.

I got the 32GB M7 T-mobile. I'm going to get it unlocked via T-mobile and sell it on craigslist. I don't list to sell on ebay anymore Too much Fees on both selling and paypal. Swappa is the same. Craigslist is straight cash and i have the people come directly to me at the home or office.

Yea try rooting and unlocking the boot loader before if you can. My area is full of idiots on Craig's list. I had mine on there for weeks and people just kept offering lowball prices because they wanted to use it for parts.

08/01/2014 Nightly seems to increase speakerphone volume. Too lazy to call myself and play "Can you hear me now" but supposedly the mic is improved. Given how they did improve "OK Google" sensitivity, I'd think there's at least SOME improvement in the voice call mic.
