    HTC One S Issues

    I stopped by a T-Mobile store today and explained my main issues. The person informed me that the wifi issues are across the board for all Androids and not just the One S. He added that the Blackberry is far ahead of the Android in terms of wifi technology and that is why the Blackberry did not...

    HTC One S Issues

    Of the 12 issues I listed, many of them are minor issues, but still inconveniences. When it came to recording concert footage (most concerts venues here in Minnesota do allow us to record most concerts as long as not professional cameras), I stated right away I should have tested it out first...

    HTC One S Issues

    I know some of these issues are listed in other threads. I just wanted to post the numerous issues I still have with my One S, even after the update. As others have expressed, this phone had the potential to be an amazing phone, but so far only disappoints. In no specific order, here are the...

    Did software update provide a sufficient fix?

    I have been with T-Mobile for ten years now and have been a happy customer overall. However, this issue alone of dropping calls when going between wifi and cellular is enough for me to switch companies. I will definitely pay the early cancellation fee if this will not be changed and if other...

    Did software update provide a sufficient fix?

    I have zero service where I live (the bottom level in a house share situation). With my Blackberry, wifi calling was nearly perfect. The One S has been a significant downgrade for my needs. Of course the apps are fun, but the wifi calling is terrible. Often times I need to end the call and call...

    HTC One S (T-Mobile) Software Update

    Go to Settings, then About, and then Software Updates. I was able to update mine manually now.

    HTC One S (T-Mobile) Software Update

    I was disappointed that after getting the update, today was one of those random days where I had terrible battery life. At least for my phone, the update definitely did not resolve this issue.

    GPS makes the phone really hot

    I also have had the GPS make my One S extremely hot and so much so that it eventually turned off. I talked with T-Mobile and that technical support person explained to me that the phone is designed to shut down before the phone ever reaches any sort of temperature that can damage the phone. I...

    Dropped Calls

    After corresponding with HTC for a while, here is the response that provided the most information. If this is truly something on T-Mobile's end, will they even want to fix the issue or will they leave it "as is"? Also, is there a workaround that users can use? Here is HTC's reply: Thanks for...

    Best Games for an Adult on Android?

    Even though I am an adult, I do not need apps that are explicit with sex or violence. I just do not want to play Sponge Bob or whatever is popular with the kids now days. I do not mind family friendly stuff like Words with Friends or Draw Something, but I am just trying to try out more games to...

    Best Games for an Adult on Android?

    I am a new owner of the HTC One S after owning a Blackberry for a few years. I am not big into games, but I must admit it is kind of fun having a few games to check out to pass the time. So far the games I have downloaded are: 1) Angry Birds (all 4 versions) 2) Words with Friends 3) Draw...

    Dropped Calls

    Wow, so far 155 people viewed my thread but no one has responded? Anyways, another issue I am having with this is I can make calls while on wifi but I can not receive calls. Sometimes I suddenly see a visual voice mail icon but the phone never rang. Are these issues I am having with wifi...

    Battery mysteriously drains

    The battery is usually good for me, but on some random days, even when the phone is fully charged at the start of the day, I find it mostly dead before I leave. I have religiously used task manager to "stop all" before walking into work, but the battery still has days where it is at around 3-5%...

    Delete SIM contacts?

    I think this will help you possibly: Click on "contacts" and then upper left hand click "phonebook". Make sure check mark is only on one you want to currently manage. Now upper right click menu, and then select "delete" to get rid of which you want to. Another option is you can just uncheck...

    Dropped Calls

    I was a Blackberry user for a few years now but recently upgraded to the HTC One S when T-Mobile had their promotions including $50 off the HTC One S, and a $100 credit to trade in an old smart phone. Overall, I am glad to have switched to an Android phone, but there have been some complications...
