    Polaris office 5 found in Trust go security scan

    I'm not familiar with the ES Explorer interface but I'm sure it is similar to Astro. I think the tough part is you can't be sure where exactly the trojan file might be since it could just be linked to Polaris as opposed to being in a Polaris folder. You'll probably need to look on SDCard0 and...

    Polaris office 5 found in Trust go security scan

    I'm not so sure Polaris is the culprit but it may have been compromised by something it opened. This link to Lookout explains SimpleTemai but also claims Lookout will detect it. Supposedly this Trojan has not been spotted outside China...

    Current HTC One owners, is the HTC One (M8) enough of an upgrade for you?

    Re: Current HTC One owners, is the M8 enough of an upgrade for you? I was one of the fools that waited months for Verizon to get the ONE while trying to hold onto my grandfathered data plan. I got so fed up with them I switched to AT&T so I haven't had my one nearly as long as most. It's an...

    challenged individual... advice re .exe file

    As B. Diddy mentioned. .exe is a Windows executable file extension. Android is a completely different operating system. Android executables end in .apk normally. What app are you trying to run/install?

    HTC One 4.3 Lag problems

    You could also try using the free app "Clean Master" periodically to rid your device of cached files and things running in the background you don't need. You don't need a task killer, as a matter of fact I do NOT recommend using one for Android, but that doesn't mean sometimes apps stay running...

    My camera is now screwed

    Whoa. Checked the pix. Either yours has gone bonkers or, by any chance, was your phone hot (temperature-wise) at the time? There are reports flying around that the "Ultrapixel CCD" is very sensitive to heat. Beyond that I think your assessment is right on. Your camera appears to be screwed. Have...

    microUSB -> SD reader possible?

    All I did was buy an OnTheGo cable from Fry's for under $10 which has MicroUSB to SD and it came with an SD-MicroSD adapter as well so I can use either type memory card. Astro File Manager app has no trouble reading or writing to cards via the OTG. I can also view pix, listen to music or watch...

    Think i'm about done with htc products.

    I have done gaming on my one for long periods of time while plugged into the charger and mine never gets that hot. Are you using an aftermarket AC charger? I have an OTG cable and a 32gb SD card connected to it which is where I load music and video I want to take with me. Additional storage...

    "Common" complaints about the HTC One

    Just to echo what the other replies have said. The ONE is still a great choice. I have relatively big hands and have no problem typing in landscape or portrait mode on it (I use the Thumbs Keyboard on mine which splits the keyboard in half making all keys easy to reach). The camera is tolerable...

    iPhone to HTC One Transfer - mov format Video Files

    You could always use a free app like Handbrake to convert your .mov files to .mp4 format on your PC and then move them to your ONE or, as you're doing, use a 3rd party player for your .mov files. It's always a bit of a beast to change operating systems. The stock Gallery app doesn't recognize...

    HTC One - Are you happy with 4.3 or do you regret installing it?

    There's a post in the Kit-Kat Forum that a dev from XDA has made it possible to use flash with 4.4. It requires using Dolphin Browser with Jetpack though. Here's the link. http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-4-4-kitkat/339242-tips-working-flash-player-dolphin-browser-kitkat.html

    Anyone use/tried Dynamic Notifications app for the One?

    When I'm at work my phone is on the charger on my desk all the time. It's a pain in the neck to hit the power button every time I want to respond to something when I can just tap the screen to wake it up unlocked and ready to go. I'm going to keep working on DN config and keep it for a while...

    Anyone use/tried Dynamic Notifications app for the One?

    Thanks to this post I decided to give this app a test spin. I haven't really put it to the full test drive yet but it seems to be relatively useful and not really impacting battery or functionality. One odd thing I can't seem to get around though. I use Daydream to keep my screen on and just a...

    Wifi will not connect - Chrome Error 105 Unable to resolve the server"s DNS address

    What you posted is a bit unclear. Your roommate tried to connect what? Your wifi router? Or a setting on your ONE? Try this: 1. Boot your router or modem/router to clear all connections (and set the router to WPA2 Security protocol) 2. On the ONE go to Settings>Wifi and find any previous...

    Blinkfeed stopped auto-updating. Any suggestions?

    When's the last time you did a cold boot of the phone? I don't mean a fast reset. I mean go to Settings>Power and uncheck the Fast Boot box. Then power off the phone (not restart, power off) and wait at least 30 seconds for all internal capacitors to drain. Then power back on. This should clear...

    Auto upload to Box or other service

    I think you can also set Picasa for auto-upload but despite having an account there I rarely use it. I've been using Photobucket for a long time so I have to jump through the hoop of manually pushing stuff from Gallery to there but, to be honest, I really have no desire to automatically upload...

    people who complain about the camera..

    I have no problem with low light photos and have tried to force the "purple" condition due to it getting so much attention but my ONE seems to have avoided this dreaded curse. Oddly enough I haven't heard many complaints about an issue I found to be a bit annoying. If I take pictures in bright...

    What case is everyone using?

    I'm currently using the Platinum purple case with holster I picked up at Best Buy when I got my ONE. I got the phone about a week before I was going to be traveling and had to have something/anything to protect it. AT&T Store had almost nothing for the ONE (a ton of stuff for the S4) except the...
