Re: HTC 4.3 update is live! Not surprising- it is a huge download and the server looks to be getting clobbered at the moment... /r Allen

Re: HTC 4.3 update is live! Using the AT&T software update it initially errored out indicating that the server was unavailable... Re-tried and it is now downloading- 565.7MB! CONN, RADIO... DOWNLINK IN PROGRESS... ;-) /r Allen

Thanks! Will download Osmand this weekend and test it out. Having to convert the KML file over seems like it would be a PITA but worth a look. Why the hell can't Google integrate the app and site functionality?! It can't be that hard to add a freaking button in google maps to "Export...

Tried Waze... It will track but I am trying to plan a route in advance, not reconstruct one I have taken. /r Allen

I have been searching for a nav app I can use when riding a motorcycle that allows me to customize the route. The issue I am encountering with the apps I have found is they don't have the ability to specify a route- it will choose what it thinks is the best route. I can build a route in...

Re: Phone going nuts when using a standard 3.5mm plug?! Ok, can anyone tell me what (electronically) is happening when you press a button on a headset? That would assist in looking for an intermittent short or open in the cable... /r Allen

Re: Phone going nuts when using a standard 3.5mm plug?! That is the current plan but I am trying to understand the nature of the problem. Swapping the cable is sort of easter-egg troubleshooting... Can anyone post a wiring diagram of a typical OMTP wired headset? I am particularly...

Re: Phone going nuts when using a standard 3.5mm plug?! That is the problem (in a way)... The 3.5mm plug from the bike is a standard (TRS as described above) 3-wire plug vice the 4 wire stereo-plus-mic plug- That is a big reason I am confused. There isn't an extra "4th" ring or wire to be...

Very strange problem using my HTC One (2013 model) when using it with the stereo on my motorcycle... The bike uses a standard 3.5mm input cable that plugs into the stereo's wiring harness. The problem is for some reason, the phone will think it is connected to a mic/button headset and will...

Re: Google Voice search auto-launching- Why and how to disable?? Never mind.... I think I have inadvertently discovered two issues- - The audio cable must have a fault of some sort making the phone think it has a button-headset connected - Jelly Bean apparently has locked the long-press...

Subscribing to this thread since I seem to have the same issue but with a new HTC One. The aux plug in question has no controls and actually plugs into a stereo system, specifically on a motorcycle. Since this happens while riding and I can't do anything with the phone, it is even more...

Re: Google Voice search auto-launching- Why and how to disable?? I may have confused the issue with how I posed the question... I am talking about the voice-activated search app, not the "Google Voice" service for phone service... How do I disable the voice activated search app? /r Allen

I have been experiencing a pretty frustrating issue and have no idea how to fix it. This is for a 32GB One, (AT&T carrier). I use the phone to listen to music on a motorcycle, specifically to stream Pandora and I plug the phone into the sound system of the bike. Not sure how important it is...

Yes, your tone is condescending but I accept that since you seem to have missed the entire point of my mini-rant. My post had zero to do with AT&T- while they tend to also shoot themselves in the foot with marketing, I made no mention of them. My beef is with HTC and their inability to...

I have had the advantage of using a new HTC One head-to-head with the Samsung Galaxy S4 since the wife upgraded the same day. After using both, I can objectively say the the One is a better built and better designed device, but you wouldn't know it based on press and marketing. I stopped into...
