    What's everyone's problem with lack of the 3.5 audio jack?

    Link which addresses the power used by the DAC in the adapter. https://youtu.be/fGfTgu-8En0?t=3m51s Thoughts?

    What's everyone's problem with lack of the 3.5 audio jack?

    This argument is the same over and over. "I don't need ______ so I don't understand why anyone else does." Good Camera on a phone, Aux jack, SD card slot, whatever. The fact is, I have several different sets of headphones, so will I need an adapter for each? What will these new adapters cost...

    Battery calibration?

    I make a habit of running my phone down to shut-off once every 6 months, or when a major OS update happens, or when I do a factory reset. I have been doing it for the last 6 years and I haven't had an issue. In fact, many of my old phones have seen little or no measurable degradation in battery...

    HTC 10: VZW Software Update

    I'd much rather wait for 7.1.x than settle for 7.0.x and end up with all of the bugs. Patience is key.

    Sense Home Ads?

    No, they were promotional ads from HTC. There is a setting in the HTC Launcher to disable these ads. If you are using the newest HTC launcher, a long press on the home screen shows the following screen: Under Sense Home Settings there are options to disable Ads, Offers, Etc. Hope that helps...

    Sense Home Ads?

    Yes. Long press any open space on the home screen now brings up a more elaborate settings pane. In that pane, you can select options and disable ads, ets. ~Ex

    Sense Home Ads?

    Yeah. I was becoming increasingly annoyed with the promos-ads. Glad I could contribute. ~Ex

    Sense Home Ads?

    AH_HA! There is a new option to disable Offers and Promotions with a long press of the home scree/options. Just in case anyone else has had this issue, now it should be resolved. ~Ex

    Sense Home Ads?

    I have now received 3 ads in 3 days through HTC Sense Home. I have advertising disabled, but that doesn't appear to matter. Is anyone else having this issue? This is the kind of bush league stuff that has kept me OFF of Android for so long. I like the 10, but this is ridiculous. ~Ex

    Can someone recommend a good and easy password backup app.

    I have this as well. Excellent app. And you don't need to root to install it. It is now available on Google Play. ~Ex

    HTC Boost+ app yay or nay?

    Same. And that works well and saves battery. I keep it installed for that purpose alone. ~Ex

    Anybody check out the Pixel and consider switching? Update: Verizon BF sale pricing

    Re: Anybody check out the Pixel and consider switching? For me, it boils down to being a price issue. That is the SINGLE issue that has kept me from getting an iPhone for the past few years. I don't feel like any phone that costs $600+ is worth the premium over "mid-range" phone lines like the...

    HTC 10 Users, are you happy?

    I could be wrong, but if I recall correctly, Beautiful Widgets (app) has a clock similar to HTC Sense and I believe it had the flip animation. Lots more options for clocks and weather bars as well. It has been several years since I used it, as I had been using a BlackBerry and Lumia prior to the...

    Safe 3rd party charging equipment

    I also use Anker products. I have several QC2.0/3.0 chargers and power banks and they all work just fine with my 10. I even use Anker's cables exclusively. I think my HTC Cable and Charger are still in the box, to be honest. And all of them "Charge Rapidly." I have been using them ever since my...
