    Gear S3 frontier unboxing

    Definitely looks like a winner...got one on preorder with AT&T. Note that there are 2 versions of the Frontier, a bluetooth only version and an LTE version. I verified this by going to Samsung's site and initiating a preorder, which forces you to choose between one of those two Frontier...

    how is your htc one holding up?

    Mine has been naked since day 1, which was early May. I have to look real close to see some very minor scratches on the back but at arm's length is still just about as good as new. I'm very impressed with how well it's held up.

    Naked One... Anyone?

    Mine is naked, no screen protector, no case. I've had it since early May and the screen, sides, back are all great condition. I have the matte black One. I do however have a square tab on the back of my One. The tab is for my IQ Smart car mount which also prevents the back of the phone...

    HTC One Slow Battery Charge fixes and answers?

    I must add that this surprised me as well, coming from an iPhone. Even with the screen off the charge rate is so slow that I have to close all open apps so that the battery actually charges while plugged in. Yesterday when my battery got down below 25% I got a warning that the charge rate was...

    Slacker and Pandora will not stream to car stereo since Jellybean

    You got that right Lasermn, better than nothing. I wish I could program my NFC tag to open Manage Apps but I don't see that as an option. Hoping 4.2.2 resolves this. BTW, if you want to clear the last track display just got to Radio then right back to Aux input and it clears the screen.

    Slacker and Pandora will not stream to car stereo since Jellybean

    Good news, I've discovered a workaround in android forums and can confirm that it works with my HTC One and my 2011 Sienna. Here goes: Launch pandora Launch Google Play Music Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it. Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point. If not...

    HTC one speaker problem

    I've noticed this on my phone as well but I've decided to live with it since the lower/right speaker is only marginally louder.

    HTC One: Do you honestly need a screen protector?

    Re: Do you honestly need a screen protector? I used to be a screen protector user but the downside for me is the lack of oleophobic coating on these screen protectors. So while my screens have stayed scratch free on my previous phones I was constantly wiping them down after an contact with my...

    New Convert. Sort of...

    Are you talking about an attached photo in an email you've received? If so, yes you can do that. I have saved photos from email viewable in the 'All downloads' album, in the photo gallery. I came from the iPhone universe too and at first the transition was challenging but I've now decided...

    Having Isssues with streaming audio via bluetooth and Toytoa Highlander

    This is frustrating for me as well. There was one day last week when I got Pandora to stream through my 2011 Sienna's radio. Incidentally I was testing nav voice functionality over Google Music, the native HTC app and Pandora. But I haven't gotten Pandora to stream since then. The only thing...

    HTC One Black, Aluminum edges wearing to silver.

    Here's my theory. The finish on the black One is pretty good, given that I've had mine naked for close to 2 weeks. What I noticed when I took the phone out of the box were two small dots, in slightly different shades of black on the lower speaker grill. I probably only noticed these because...

    Music pauses when nav speaks

    Good news. As of this morning my phone is behaving (mostly) the way I expected. I had music playing on google Play Music and was running Waze and much to my delight the music that was playing wasn't pausing/muting it simply attenuated as Waze spoke. Surprised, I tried playing music through...

    Music pauses when nav speaks

    Oh well, I'm hopeful that this is addressed in a future OTA update because it does take away from the overall experience.

    Music pauses when nav speaks

    I've converted from an iPhone to the HTC One and overall I'm enjoying the experience. The one thing that surprised me yesterday while running Waze was that the music I was streaming from my One would pause whenever Waze would announce an upcoming turn. I tried navigating with Google Nav and I...

    Headphone controls?

    I agree 100% with you. Sure these 3 button sets cost a little more than the single button, but when competition is bundling 3 button control with their premuim phones, HTC would be wise to follow suite with their premium phone. BTW aaronlam, do these sound the same as the included earphones or...
