I had to replace both the USB port and the battery (at my own cost - not sending it to Sydney for three weeks to let it get lost), and the overheating issues are gone.

This phone has an extremely serious issue in that it gets so hot during basic tasks such as listening to music or downloading updates that it's too hot to actually handle.
The same can be said for when it's plugged in to charge, just don't touch it or try to do anything with it.
This issue is much worse when watching videos, and even more ridiculous when you enable the GPS or try to use it for any level of gaming, eg Fallout Shelter.
If you attempt to combine the two by playing Pokémon Go you'll probably begin to seriously worry about whether it's going to ignite or explode.
I think this is primarily due to the phone's metal casing, which it disperses the heat from the internal components through. This may be good for mitigating the internal heat of the phone, but the actual result is that the case you're holding gets painfully hot to the point where you can't use it, and definitely don't want to.
I started using an Acer Liquid Z530 as a temporary backup while looking for a replacement, and as slow as it is i love that i can use it without scalding my hand, it only ever seems to get hot when charging, and that's not the whole shell, just a spot below the rear camera.
I honestly don't think it's worth having such powerful components if you can't manage the heat to tolerable levels.

I've had this phone for 1,5 years now, and it's a good phone. Since the update to Android 6 it performs very well. Battery life is acceptable, not worse than other phones I've had.

Awful. Avoid at all costs. Battery life really poor. Lag lag and more lag. Heats up up and up with just 15 minutes or so web browsing. Waste of money. This will be my last HTC. Never again

It seems there is now support for Beidou satellites. I can't seem to confirm whether this is possible in software, but com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2 shows a cross for Beidou, and they show up on my M8s.

Terrible phone .
SD615 heats alot .can't handle the phone after 20min of browsing.temp reaches to 44-47℃ . I didn't expect company like htc will produce such a bad phone .
The thing i liked is a that the phone doesn't shows any sign of lags.
Front camera is just a crap.camera with f/2.8 & 33mm .this phone is note ideal for taking group selfies.
Overall I couldn't recommend anyone for buying this mobile.there are many mobiles like moto g4plus, redmi note3,le eco which are offering great value for half the price than this phone.
Htc m8 was great phone .but this is just like.......total waste of money

Please, gsmarena, could you add pixel size and sensor size to each new phone because it's important, for some who have experienced good quality photos from a phone like HTC one mini, when buying a new phone. Thank you very much in advance and thanks for the quality website you're providing.

Tadd, 22 Jun 2016How do I upgrade M8S (not M8) to marshmallow 6.0.1 OTA ? pl... moreYes you can upgrade your m8s to Android 6, all u need to do make sure u have enough data or connected to a non-stop wifi. Backup your files and wipe out the phone then start the update process. BUT(in the case of my I just leave the phone update auto, then connected to a fully Wi-Fi network,after one week my phone started to misbehave for a complete one day I couldn't do anything with the phone but not knowing that update is going on until the next day I realized the problem has stopped and then I noticed some changes in the phone.....it was 6.0.1.28)
