    What is the difference - HTC U11 purchased from Sprint vs. directly from HTC?

    Morty, the cost from HTC is slightly less than from Sprint. $649 vs. $696 directly from Sprint. I may be wrong, haven't been paying close attention lately, but I believe any Sprint plan becomes a no contract arrangement when you change phones (the higher end plans).

    What is the difference - HTC U11 purchased from Sprint vs. directly from HTC?

    What exactly is the difference between an HTC U11 purchased directly from HTC.com (US) vs. from Sprint? I'd use the phone on Sprint. Will there be complications in getting the phone setup on my sprint account? It will replace an HTC M7 I've used for four and 1/2 years.

    Why is my HTC One M7 crashing upon trying to open the camera app?

    I realize this is an old thread, I spend three weeks searching for a fix to this issue. It was very frustrating. It was pretty simple, open App settings, find Camera under all. Then do Force stop, then Clear data. Open the camera again and it works.

    Cannot turn WiFi off - HTC One M7 after Lillipop update

    It's not solved yet. But I'll answer my own question with an in process update. I found a few apps that list Android permissions, then found the permission 'Connect and Disconnect from Wi-Fi', and listed the apps that have this permission. I disabled most of the ten apps having the...

    Cannot turn WiFi off - HTC One M7 after Lillipop update

    Three or four days after a phone restart, I cannot turn WiFi off, it immediately turns back on. Seems like one app is doing this, how do I find it? Details: I have an HTC One M7 on Sprint. It’s not rooted. After the recent update to Android Lollipop, I cannot turn the WiFi off. It’s not as...

    Are the Picture to PDF apps safe?

    Have not found an alternative yet. I never knew Google Drive will do that, I'll try it, thanks for the tip.

    Are the Picture to PDF apps safe?

    I see several of these, they will convert any picture you're taken into a PDF file. I'm looking for one for receipts for travel expenses. The concern is all of the apps in the Google Play store seem like they are written by people in eastern europe, and all the apps seem to have network...

    Visual Voicemail update notification, is it legit?

    I have a Sprint HTC One, two days ago I started getting a voicemail icon in the status area (not an app store notification, the icon looks like this: o_o). It's for a Visual Voicemail app. The update is not coming through the Google app store nor through Sprint, so I cancelled it and got...

    Is Android lost safe?

    Lifehacker seems to like it: Android Lost Controls Your Stolen Phone, Even After You've Lost It However it's not clear that did an actual Consumer Reports-like comparison test. They point out one compelling, powerful feature is you can install and use it after the phone goes lost or otherwise...

    Any good apps for caller id?

    I tried this one that shows location only when the caller is not in your contacts list, "Caller Location" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.andapps.broadcastreciverdemo - but it doesn't work, nothing shows up. In looking at the other possibilities, I'm suspicious of all the...

    Sprint HTC One - your opinion

    I'll jump in to say, yes I have Sprint, had an old Palm phone for five years and took the leap to an HTC One. No Sprint is not 4G where I live, yet. It's coming, slowly showing up on the sensorly maps. I do spend time in areas where it is on, and it is fast. Speeds as fast or faster than home...

    What is this icon?

    An FYI, Sprint has a fairly good table of the notification icons in their HTC One User Guide, (should open to the correct page), where as I see the HTC Users guide does not have this list. Interesting. Edit to add: Sorry, that Icon being asking about is not in the table, thought it was.
