See my response above for an explanation, but you want the 5V 2.1A charger. 5.3 is pushing is only a little, but better safe than sorry. Think of amperage as 'potential'. It won't keep pumping electricity into a device that doesn't want it, nor will it have to eat it, itself. If you have too low...

Oh so 2A is gonna destroy the battery unless the charger has an official packaging/logo.. now those 2A won't hurt. The fact is, smartphones 'of today' have current limiting abilities so that they only 'sip' from a 'stream' of electricity - whatever the manufacturer determined is the ideal rate...

I'd say you're right about Top Three. Personally I went with HTC and it's so far from the typical Android format.. It's really locked down too, being a part of Verizon and having the whole S-Off issue. If you plan to root and mod, esp if you want ROMs and stuff, don't go HTC. There's rumors of...

I have the HTC One M7. Not fond of how locked down it is, the overheating and poor battery/charging, etc. I digress. I want a true-to-Android device that can be unlocked, rooted and customized with different kernels and ROMs, etc. (Is that less common /w tablets versus phones?) I have with...

Yes, I've learned through forums and reps that this is what you expect from the M7. M8 at least has the rapid charging mechanism installed. Supposedly M7 has the potential. Anyway, it charges slowly and drains fast, even though it's like a 2600mAh battery or something. I've analyzed background...

I'm surprised there wasn't more interest in this. I thought I was going to get a Nexus 7 and use bluetooth/headphones/speaker and talk to people on Google Voice. The data is so much cheaper, per GB. Anyone who has done it and can speak to their experience? If you're going to have a tablet...

Yup, it took a family plan to get me to accept Verizon's pricing structure.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it but I think if you 'assign' ie. sell your whole plan to someone else, they are not entitled to the grandfather clause of Unlimited Data. FWIW, I tried to hold on to it but ended up dropping it and I never regretted it. Unlike this damn HTC One on VZW. It's...

I just got used to the poor charging ability and fast discharge of the One. So bad, I don't think it should have ever been so popular. And it gets HOT. Even idle mine is never below 95F and batteries should be in that range for max op. (125 I try to stay under). I talked to many people about it...

Reboot! Then try the device. Clear cache before reboot if you want to be sure. I found my HTC One M7 became laggy at some point around the 2 month mark. I had stopped with the million apps then, and I always had about 400-500 MB RAM still free when most active and processor was maxed out (but...

AutomateIt if you're looking for something not-like-Tasker. If you haven't seriously checked out Tasker and the pre-made tasks/profiles you can find online, Id recommend it.

I've only had the One (M7) for a few months but Iv'e noticed it more and more difficult to hit the outer-most rows: P and L are by far the most difficult, followed by backspace (so the right side, then Q, A and CAPS. It seems like it progressed over a week or so and hasn't gotten worse.. did it...
