The proximity sensor on the 10 is right in the center underneath the speaker. Pulling the notification shade down from the sides, avoiding the center, seems to work best.

I've had issues with this on multiple phones. I've always figured it had something to do with the proximity sensor, like it will disable touch input shortly before or after it goes off. And since the proximity sensor is near the top of the screen where you would pull down the notification...

I have a Verizon HTC 10 have have unlocked my bootloader with Sunshine. I'm using a stock ROM that has been rooted and debloated. (everything stock except I've enabled wifi hotspot, and added system wide ad blocking). The fingerprint scanner works fine for unlocking the phone and logging into...

I've had mine for about a month now. While I did play with the S7 and S7E at the store for a bit, I haven't used either for daily use, so I can't legitimately compare. I preferred the look and feel of the 10. I preferred Sense and the more minimal approach to software over Touchwiz. The...

This is from today with minimal use. Screen on time was about 40 minutes.

This has happened to me a couple times this past week. The first time I didn't notice it until the end of the day. My battery was down to 40%, and Google Place Services accounted for about half the usage. The second time, I noticed it a early. After a couple hours off the charger, my battery...

Try removing the latest update to Android System WebView. Go into Settings > App Manager > All tab. Select Android System WebView, and hit the Uninstall updates button. This was the cause of random app crashes for me after the latest update a few days ago. I've since turned of automatic...

I haven't used the Chase app, but I've had issues with the Bank of America app. It will usually fail with a "can't connect to camera" error when trying to take a picture of a check, but if I try again, it works. Also, if I don't kill the BofA app when I'm done using it, the camera app will...

I purchased the Spigen Slim Armor case the day I bought my M8. It's a really nice case. Volume and Power buttons work with ease, and it feels like it will really protect the corners if a drop happens. It adds a bit of bulk, but it's the bulk that protects the phone from drops. The only...

Be careful of unbelievable SD Card deals on ebay. Many are fake. I've run across this a few times. For example, on a supposed 32GB card, it worked just fine until I tried to put more than 2GB of data on it. Upon really examining the outside of the card, I noticed the 3 in 32GB was a...

Is it this maybe? [ROM][Vzw] ViperOneM8 2.5.0 • Tweaks, HUB, I… | Verizon HTC One (M8) | XDA Forums (That's a Verizon ROM, though they may have versions for other carriers)

If you're confused, why bother? Upgrade when the phone you have isn't the phone you want.

re: I completely disagree. If you have an Exchange account, you're probably also using Outlook, most likely in a corporate setting. Having your contacts in Exchange allows you to sync contacts between Outlook and your phone. To sync Google contacts between Outlook and your phone, you will...

The M8 camera is decent, but you have to work harder for quality shots. It's seldom as simple as launching the camera app and clicking the shutter button. There's also a noticeable lack of detail when viewing the pictures at full screen on a computer. But if you understand photography basics...

Last week I purchased the Verizon M8. My contract had been up for a month or so, and I had already decided on the M8 over the GS5 and the G3, but I was waiting for the Moto X and iPhone reveals to make my final choice. This is a bit long, but I wanted to write it all out for the help it may...
