I thought this was the case, but if you open the notification area, you should be able to click on the time to open the Clock app. But you seem to need to click on the date :-) What is more annoying is 'Settings' cog now requires the notification tray to be fully open before it appears!

Ah cracked it. There is now a silent option. I was using DND because that option didn't exist previously - or at least I could never find it. But also found I had some other things switched off. Thanks :-)

What I have noticed is that I am not getting notifications on my lock screen - or at all come to think of it. I've had emails, WhatsApps and FB Messenger messages. Anyone else? EDIT: Oh it turns out that 'Do Not Disturb" is more aggressive by default now. Tweaked some of those settings so let's...

So far so good. Although not totally sold on the gesture based navigation. This is due to the fact the it tries to do two things with the same gesture so if you swipe for the full app drawer you see the recent apps very briefly. Sure I'll get used to it. Has anyone else noticed how bright the...

Well I've barely had the phone a day yet, so hard to say just yet. I have a somewhat jaded view of my HTC 10 following a month or so of terrible battery life. But probably not the thread for it - happy to shot you a DM in a couple of days if you would like?

Mine arrived this morning and so far so good. Finally, a camera that can deal effectively with the full skies of UK winter! Quick charge saw off my HTC 10 battery so I'm pleased Google have done something about it. Although it would be good to see some intelligence so that it learnt when it...
