I've read the stories that the release of Lollipop has been delayed for some mobile operators, but what about for unlocked versions? I have an unlocked version (ie, not a mobile operator branded version and not GPE), but I haven't received an update in the UK. Has anyone else? Also, it has...

If you mean Miracast, ie duplicating the display on a compatible TV, it works fine (although there was one HTC update that broke it but the next one fixed it). Posted via Android Central App

A licensed version of Norton Mobile Security (on my M7, I use one of the 10 device licences that came with Norton Security with Backup 2015) has a Call Blocking feature that allows you to block specified contacts. I'm guessing there are probably free apps that would do something similar. Posted...

I've had a similar issue on my Sony TV and M7: the default three-finger swipe (dlna) doesn't work anymore, but Mirracast does if I use the TV remote's source button (the green button on the top-left of most Sony remote controls) to select Screen Mirroring as the TV input and then three-finger...

I need a new phone: my three-year old daughter never lets me use mine ! :-( Posted via Android Central App

That's encouraging, although I wonder whether we'll have to wait for a full OTA update (could be weeks, months, or even with Android L in many months) or a PlayStore update. Incidentally, I discovered that using the Gallery app, it is possible to display photos and movies on my Sony TV using...

My mistake, then. Does the Play Store allow music downloads to a PC? I organise my music on my PC before copying to the Music folder on my m7 (HTC Sync Manager is a pain for syncing anything other than Outlook contacts). And is it [generally] cheaper than Amazon? Posted via Android Central App

All the more reason to use Amazon mp3 downloads: no DRM, just download to you PC, backup, transfer to new PCs, mobile devices, etc. Posted via Android Central App

Take a look here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ota-downloads/ In my experience, unrooted network-provided phones won't flash an unlocked update (only ones provided by the network), but you can try. Posted via Android Central App

Have a look at this article, "Beware of Fake Google Apps that Steal User Data of Android Smartphone Users ": au.ibtimes.com/articles/559750/20140721/fake-google-apps-steal-data-android-smart.htm?fs=4fc87 Posted via Android Central App

Buy a SIM from a phone shop (or supermarket) in London, not from the vending machines at the airport. (Airports have free WiFi if you sign up from your smartphone / laptop.) You can get a SIM from free (sometimes a £1) and then put credit on it. Some PAYG options require you to have credit on...

Although HTC Sync Manager isn't great (and that's being generous), it's fine for syncing MS Outlook contacts & calendar (if you use MS Outlook), and for backing up photos to your PC. For photos, though, I also use MS OneDrive on my phone & PC. It has an option to copy photos to the cloud (15Gb...

I only get this if I try to view articles that I had saved in BlinkFeed's reading list prior to the Sense 6 update. Not only can I not read them, but I now can't remove them from the reading list. Posted via Android Central App

Response from HTC (UK): "I can't see anything in the publicly available details that tells me it is no longer working but it does sound like a compatibility issue. Have you reported the issue to Sony, they may be aware of the cause. " When I pointed out that screen-mirroring worked before the...
