Seriously? It's called refraction ...

Battery experts tend to dumb down information for the lowest common denominator. What matters, is the depth of charge per cycle. All this talk about what percentages to charge to is just nonsense ... Well maybe not nonsense, but it's just phrased in a way to make the layman have simple...

Yup, this is definitely my last HTC phone. I don't care about Uh-Oh protection or warranty if it means I go months using my backup phone. I'll just get a Samsung/Pixel phone like everyone else. I've never had a phone need repairing before in the first place.

Just an update, I emailed the President of HTC America about my issue and gave him my ticket number. He forwarded my message to the Customer Service Manager and I now have my phone again. I never resort to things like this, but for a whole two weeks I was told that my escalation manager for my...

What are my options here? My camera stopped working and HTC told me to ship it to them and that the repair and return will take 7 to 10 business days. They received my phone on October 10th, it's now November 6th, and when I use the online repair status tool, all it tells me is that the phone...

My battery life has been pretty good, but then again I disable everything I don't use. Blinkfeed included.

Once in a while when I am at work I get ads on my lockscreen. I know the ads are from blinkfeed because when I swipe right onto the blinkfeed screen, the ad is usually right there. How do I disable this behavior without changing my launcher? This is the sort of shenanigans that make limping...

I don't know what the hell they did but wtf at this new battery life? Is this a new doze or is it because I left the boost app to do its thing? Standby battery life is just as good as my iPhone now (dare I say better?).

Hmm the alarms shortcut from notification shade (i.e. tap clock to go straight to the alarms) is no more in nougat.

Have you accepted the privacy clauses and turned on web and voice activity? These are prerequisites to use OK Google on any screen I believe.
