    Weekly Photo Contest: Bridges

    Each year my dad and I compete in river fishing tournaments. We fish robalo (Dicentrarchus labrax) and sábalo (Prochilodus lineatus). The bridge is an old one and has those apertures in the middle to rise when needed but in my life I have never seen it risen, not once. It crosses the Usumacinta...

    [Closed] The Android Central non-sexist, non-spammy OnePlus One contest

    I'm looking forward to have this phone as a needed upgrade since my HTC One M7 has the purple tint camera problem and I'm out of warranty. I'm stuck for another 6 months until I'm able to upgrade and not having the ability to take pics except when there is enough light is driving me insane...

    Formal Introduction, Windows Phone Convert

    I'm a Windows Phone convert myself and I prefer Microsoft services over Google's. I jumped to the HTC One M7 last year and my experience has been great. I miss some things from WP like live tiles and the uniformity of the UX in most apps. This is specially true with the way Android and iOS have...

    HTC One (M7) Major Battery Issue

    I would try other charger and usb cable to discard the ones that came with your phone. If the issue persists, then I would do a factory reset. If the cable and charger are good after trying others and the factory reset didn't solve it, get a replacement.

    Sense 6 word guessing

    In my case that only happens when I'm tweeting with Plume. With the official Twitter app I haven't seen it do that but I don't use the official app too often. In WhatsApp or the stock SMS app I don't see that behavior. If you are using a third party texting app try using the stock one and see...

    Facebook Events and Birthdays calendar

    Is there a way we can change the language for the Facebook calendar sync? I have an HTC One M7 and a Nexus 7 both set to sync Facebook events but they appear in English, like John Doe's Birthday but it should be displayed as Cumplea?os de John Doe (in Spanish) as I have both my devices in...

    Calendar problem

    Have you tried on Account settings? There should be an option to sync contacts and calendar. Deselect Calendar if it's there. If not, you can hide those events in Google Calendar or other calendar apps by choosing which accounts to show on their settings.

    I have a OnePlus One - ask me about it!

    Is there an option to have the capacitive buttons change behavior even if the lit-up images/icons don't change? When given the option and seeing that the button areas are already there, I would choose capacitive over on-screen but I saw on AC's articles that the Back button is in the right...

    I have a OnePlus One - ask me about it!

    I would like to know how good are the speakers and the headphone port (pared with quality headphones). Other points: - How are the ergonomics? I was let down when I learned about the size. Does it feel more like a phablet than a big phone (M8, GS5, Z2)? - Can it be handled with one hand with...

    Recommend a newbie some apps :)

    My first recommendation would be to avoid installing battery and antivirus apps. If you want a battery to monitor usage and see stats, that's fine, but I think they can be detrimental to battery life (ironical) if you use profiles, auto-modes and other features they may have. For your phone...

    I've got an HTC One (M8), you have questions. Fire away.

    Beats Audio branding is not present. The speakers are better from what everybody is being posting already and there's also confirmation that it has a headphone amplifier built-in just like the M7 which is one of the things any smartphone should have as it makes such a difference in audio...

    I've got an HTC One (M8), you have questions. Fire away.

    Re: I've got an M8, you have questions. Fire away. Does the mail app show flagged mails correctly when using EAS (Exchange Active Sync) accounts like Outlook. com or corporate ones? Right now you can flag a mail on the app but it won't show in Outlook's website as flagged. The same occurs the...

    I've got an HTC One (M8), you have questions. Fire away.

    Re: I've got an M8, you have questions. Fire away. Great Q/A section guys. I have a few more: - Does Sense 6 continue to have the great contacts app that 5-5.5 has? The linking between contacts and filtering accounts to the updates and pics section is still there? I hope so. - I use the stock...

    HTC One (M8) Destruction!

    Re: M8 Destruction! It's been a long time since I saw a video like this and I'm surprised how well the screen did. I don't like to use screen protectors and I ditched them entirely when I had an HTC 8X and I have the M7 since August last year without a scratch. I will do the same with the M8...

    I've got an HTC One (M8), you have questions. Fire away.

    Re: I've got an M8, you have questions. Fire away. Here are a few of questions: - I can't find any confirmation about a headphone amplifier. My M7 has it and I can say it's one of those little things you can't live without after using them. It drives high end headphones with ease, something...
