    Flat out disappointed

    I almost agreed with TC. Until he mentioned the charger... *facepalm* Type-C is the way to go fool.

    HTC 10 Alarm sound issues

    You were on the right track, but not on the right conclusion. The cause of the top speaker being mute isn't the "Do Not Disturb" mode at all. "Play in Silent Mode" is NOT the same as "Play in Do Not Disturb Mode". 1) The app "Sleep as Android" has a "Play in Do Not Disturb Mode" switch. This...

    HTC 10 Alarm sound issues

    After multiple attempts to get through to HTC, calling them to their crappy call center in Colombia, I sent them the following e-mail through their UK website (cause US website doesn't allow emails...): "Hi, I currently own the HTC 10. For some arbitrary reason, you decided to make the stupid...

    HTC 10 Blinkfeed + Nova Launcher. Is it possible?

    HTC 10 Blinkfeed + Nova Launcher I've seen "guides" on how to do this for the old Blinkfeed, but not the HTC 10 Blinkfeed. Is it still possible? Advice on how to do it would be greatly appreciated!

    Could someone please explain to me why alarm volume is so low?

    Alright, I both called and used the web support. Talked to 3 different representatives. Needless to say, these clowns didn't help one bit. Instead they tried to convince me that this is a "feature" of the phone. I was like, "you're trying to tell me that lowering the alarm volume by using only...

    Could someone please explain to me why alarm volume is so low?

    Really... mind if I ask which number you dial? Every single time I've called, I end up at some call centre in Colombia. I even kindly asked if they had a call centre within the US, and they said no, only Colombia and I think Philippines as well.

    Could someone please explain to me why alarm volume is so low?

    I haven't tried using a 3rd party app because I want to avoid that entirely. I don't want to have extra apps for very basic things like this that should simply work properly. I plan to have a little chat with their support tomorrow (still weekend in the western side of the world). I would call...

    Could someone please explain to me why alarm volume is so low?

    It's not loud enough imo. The top speaker makes a huge difference in volume. Unchecking "that" option also makes no difference to me. Alarm volume is at max. There's nothing you've said I haven't tried. What I'm looking for is a way to tweak the phone somehow to make the alarm volume use both...

    Could someone please explain to me why alarm volume is so low?

    Yes, and I see that in the settings myself. But it's the same whether that checkbox is ticked or not. The problem I see here is, that for some reason, alarm only sounds only come out through the bottom speaker and nothing comes out on the top speaker at all. Give it a shot yourself and let me...

    Be careful what charger you use with the HTC 10...

    I think, and don't quote me on this, that chargers are fine if used as usb chargers only (aka not plugging them on outlets), which is what I intend to do with the 3rd party one, while keeping the official HTC one as the AC adapter only.

    Could someone please explain to me why alarm volume is so low?

    Alright, for some reason, alarm volume (at max) is significantly lower than ringtone volume (also at max). I'm playing the exact same tune, when I select it as a ringtone, it blows my ears away. When I select it as an alarm it's just... softer... a lot softer. Throwing all of the sound through...

    Be careful what charger you use with the HTC 10...

    I bought an extra type-c charger from spigen (USB Type C 3 1 to USB 3 0 Cable Spigen® All Type C Supported Device | eBay) should I be worried now? >.>

    Best HTC 10 Cases

    Ugh I still haven't been able to find a belt pouch for this case. I made a thread see if anyone knows of one, but someone felt like a "help me find a belt pouch" thread belonged in a "best cases!" thread and merged it into this thread. I keep refreshing amazon and ebay pages see if any come up...

    Best HTC 10 Cases

    Re: Pre-Ordered the HTC 10, need help finding a good case. I've contemplated getting new bluetooth headphones. I actually have some I bought back in 2008. Needless to say, they're a bit outdated and not the best (apparently everyone can hear my music when I wear them). I might get the...
