    Have the tv play what is on your phone without wifi or hotspot.

    I use the 3rd generation Chromecast with my LG V40 and 2012 Samsung Smart TV. No hotspot. Just download Google Home to complete the "cast". Not only can you send Netflix and other approved apps to your tv, but you can send Amazon videos and anything else that's on your phone. Just go into...

    Should I get a screen protector for my LG V40 thinQ

    I have the Whitestone Dome Glass too. It's a great protector; fits perfectly with Ringke case, no fingerprints, perfect sensitivity. Three issues: 1. Very expensive due to included curing light 2. Intricate installation. (Easy once you see video) 3. NO WARRANTY! Whitestone no longer makes...

    V40 vs S9 Plus?

    As an afterthought, I understand your liking LG's for their DAC. I had an HTC 10 and that had the best sound that I've ever heard. It was due to the earphone setup app. You adjusted the volume of 5 frequencies for each ear. If you wanted to hear music the way the musician intended, that was...

    What kind of charger do i need for the new LG V40?

    UPDATE: Do not purchase a Quick charge 4 charger for the LG V40. Even though its Snapdragon chip is capable and certified to use Quick Charge 4 chargers, LG decided NOT to enable this feature. You can use a certified QC4 charger, but it won't charge any faster than a QC3. I ran the test and...

    What kind of charger do i need for the new LG V40?

    You can use any Qualcomm certified Quick Charger 3 . And you can also use the new Qualcomm certified Quick Charger 4. If you check the Qualcomm site, you will see that the LG V40 is Quick Charge 4 certified. I purchased the Belkin wall model and it works well. The phone does not get warm and...

    Where is photo editor on the LG V40?

    The best photo editor is called Photo Editor 4.0 on Google play. It is as close to a Windows editor that I've found. You can do almost anything and they keep adding to it. It is worth the download. BTW: I have no stake in the app, I just use it a lot.

    HTC Hi-Res earphones

    I have the "10" also and love the audio that comes out of the headphone back. The app that sets up the earphones is like being in an audiologists office getting your hearing checked. IMO, its the most overlooked quality of the phone. I have three pair of earphones; 2 from HTC and one from...

    M10 question: Hangouts vs Messenger vs HTC Messaging app

    I started using Handcent because I couldn't send MMS. At the time I didn't know that they have to be sent over 3/4G. (at least with Verizon). Handcent was the only app I found that when I was on wifi could turn on 4G, send the message and turn off 4G automatically. It also adjusts itself for...

    HTC 10 Owners: First Impressions, Initial Reviews Thread

    I've had the USA Verizon HTC 10 for 5 days. I'm partial to HTC and my progression has been Thunderbolt, DNA Droid, HTC One M8, HTC One M9 and now HTC 10. I agree with "I Can be Your Hero" with most things so I won't repeat everything he said. I just want to go into more detail about the...

    droid dna third party sms apps will not send mms

    I had the same problem even with Go SMS. I found two ways around the problem. First, I could send and receive MMS with the "Message" app that came with the phone. That worked most of the time. What worked 100% of the time was not to use Wifi. Only use 3G or 4G to send and receive MMS. I use wifi...
