Which Android file managers explicitly support SMB2? I currently use the Solid Explorer file manager, but when I disable SMB1 on the NAS box with my shares it can no longer access the shares. I want to disable SMB1 for both performance and security reasons.

This is what I'm getting (on a weekend, though, so it doesn't have the more-than-hour-long commute using both Waze and Podcast Addict/Audible): It's okay, I guess, although the Waze usage in the morning means I do need to recharge at work.

TIL about Lux.

I use three different mail apps on mine - Gmail, Outlook.com, and the HTC one. (I use different apps for different mail services.) I actually like the simplicity and cleanliness of the HTC app the best, although obviously you have to go without the sorting features of both Outlook and Gmail. But...

1.80.709.1 for unlocked HTC 10s (TW model) just arrived.

Isn't it possible that the HTC 10 could be perceived to be hotter because the metal back conducts heat more?

Wasn't the M9 known for heat issues in part because of the... troubled 2015 Snapdragon processors? Mine will get warm after, say, an hour of Waze, but day-to-day I'm not seeing any problems.

I like it as a general-purpose news source - by design I don't customize the feed too much, I leave it on Highlights and that's a good enough, varied source of news from everywhere. I also integrate my Twitter account there, so the stories I care about from that end are brought up above the...

I must be one of those rare people who actually uses Blinkfeed. As far as I know, though, you can't personalize it with stuff from email or replace it with Google Now. Pretty sure BoomSound is wired only, too.

I've had my HTC 10 as my full-time daily driver for about a week, so my thoughts on it are below. Background on my previous smartphone ownership to help understand where I come from: ex-Windows Phone user, first HTC device ever, limited Android experience from an Asus 8-inch tablet. Physical...

My phone is apparently a Taiwan unlocked version, it just got the latest update. DevCheck says the Security patch level is June 1, 2016.

For a commute of around 35 minutes to work today, I think I lost about 7% of the battery - 100% to 93%. I usually just recharge it about an hour or so before I leave so that I have a full battery whenever I navigate. It's okay for now, but I do distinctly worry if it's good for keeping the...

I don't know about Antutu, but the numbers I got for 3DMark were a bit lower than expected - but that was because I already had my widgets/background apps/etc. running. And I'd run multiple benchmarks one after the other.

I use my phone for navigation with Waze, and my daily drive (one-way) is around an hour long with "normal" traffic and could be even longer if traffic is heavy. That, by itself, is a pretty severe test.

There's a Sandisk on sale right now, which is good for a few more hours: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-200GB-Micro-SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A/dp/B00V62XBQQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464744480&sr=8-1&keywords=Sandisk+200G&t=androidcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5204201
