## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with uh oh protection**
A: Uh Oh Protection is a joke! They will not replace the phone and will claim any reason not to. I bought my M9 off of Amazon June 11, 2015 and shattered the screen May 7, 2016. I requested the Uh-Oh Protection to cover it and they emailed me a link that led to a $100 off code and claimed because I clicked the link, I was not eligible for replacement. Do not buy HTC based on the false advertisement. Honestly, don't buy HTC.

**Q: Is it compatible to use with the following networks sim cards that works on: 4g : lte  800(20) / 900(8) / 1800(3) / 2100(1) / 2600(7).**
A: i dont know about the 800,but all the other will work2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:850/900/1800/1900 MHz3G UMTS:850/900/1900/2100 MHz4G LTE:HTC One M9 Unlocked & Developer Edition Band Support2 (1900 MHz)3 (1800 MHz)4 (1700 MHz AWS)5 (850 MHz)7 (2600 MHz)12 (700 MHz lower A/B/C)13 (700 MHz upper C)17 (700 MHz lower B/C)29 (700 MHz D/E)30 (2300 MHz WCS

**Q: I have the One M8 is the M9 worth the upgrade? other then the obvious camera upgrade.**
A: Well, I actually prefer the m8. Except that my 4-year-old m8 is really slow. That's why I upgraded and honestly my husband has a Samsung edge and his camera is still better than the m9 20mpixel which is disappointing.

**Q: Does it have warranty? will 2g,3g,4g work in argentina? why the gold version is much cheaper than the gunmetal grey one?**
A: Yes it will work in Argentina with all 2g,3g 4g LTE ,the gold has same specs as gun metal , the one I am selling has 128GB free and 32GB internal memory .Comes with all accessories .

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for an unexpected replacement to my M8!
*by C***W on July 3, 2017*

I'd like to say I'm an early technology adopter, but my comfort and preference for HTC, and a more practical budget just don't let me get the latest (and not always greatest) thing. I've owned about 5 or 6 HTC phones (The FUZE, ARIA, One X and M8) and have become increasingly loyal to the way they interface.After over 2 years, my HTC One M8 finally got to the point where it was no longer usable. I bent the charger port such that I'd have to hold the charger cord in at just the right angle to connect, so it was on to another phone. AT&T did not appear to be jumping on the U11 bandwagon when that comes out later this year, and after being tech support for both my husband's Samsung and my Daughter's LG, I didn't want another brand. (I've been out of contract with my provider for almost a year, and it's nice!) So I decided to test my luck on Amazon.I'm very happy I did. This phone looks and functions enough like my M8 to make the change seamless, but with enough upgrades to be exciting (rather than a drag) The Camera is much better, and the front speakers are a bit fuller than my old one. Data runs quickly, and it's clear there are improvements on the previous version in the way data access runs.I still can't use the HTC car app without having to manually create a shortcut and pull the app from the dark cave where the provider tends to keep putting it, in favor of their version of it, which in my opinion is not as easy to use while driving.The Dot view case on this one is nicer than the M8 because the back is clear so you can see the phone's glorious metallic color, but the seam where the front and back meet is a little flimsy (I did have to take a spot of crazy glue to it already, but I'm not reviewing that..), so we'll see. I do like the more protective design as my old phone did get a bit of corner wear where the HTC cover didn't fully protect each edge.All in all, I don't know that I'd have made the jump to this phone if not forced, as it is so significantly similar to what I am replacing, but I do feel that there are significant enough improvements that would warrant consideration of this phone over the previous model.Seller sent it super quick and I got it in less than 48 hours on a holiday weekend. SO grateful for that.

### ⭐ Don't buy
*by K***E on June 18, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This was the second HTC, it was suggested by a friend but the battery fails and is expensive to replace...My Samsung Galaxy s21 is way better

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Design, Poor reception
*by M***H on February 15, 2016*

love the design and style of this phone. bought to upgrade from my galaxy s4. the theme design is fantastic too... I like that I can get themes designed by other people and apply it to the phone. speakers and sound software are also great.The only thing that knocked it down a star for me is the phones reception. Not sure if i got a lemon or not...but it's reception is regularly only 70-80% of what my galaxy 4 had. For those in a 4 bar area, this is probably not an issue...but where my house is at, i can barely scrape 2 bars from my galaxy. it worked with that...but with the M9 i can't even get or take calls.Im currently migration from AT&T to T-mobile, where at least if i can't get good cell reception in my house, I'll be able to use their Voip soluion (AT&T currently only allows iPhones for their VOIP). the fact that i had to switch carriers to use the phone would have dropped more then 1 star, but this is specifically a local issue with me. others may not get the same results.Although I must say, if this is not a lemon, having worse reception then a 4 year old worn out phone is unacceptable IMO. I gave it a pass only because I don't know if it's specific to me, or if it really just has worse reception. Just letting others know...it's not an issue if you get the phone on some kind of plan, but buying upright via Amazon it's buyer beware, so letting folks know.Other then that love the phone...only wish the Tmobile SIM would get here faster :)
