    Anyone remove the AT&T barcode sticker from the back of the phone?

    I believe these are only on the carrier-branded versions, is that correct? Are they really necessary? It diminishes the clean look of the phone (I hate phone cases), and I'm sure it'll start to peel over time. Who repairs the phone within the 1 year warranty period - HTC or AT&T? It doesn't...

    Could really use some Help/Advice

    I know this thread is relatively old, so hopefully you haven't returned the phone yet. I am a on-again-off-again android fan, personally. Having switched from windows mobile phones back in the day to the Samsung Galaxy S, then Iphone 4S briefly for a month (couldn't stand the size of the...

    falling out of love with the HTC one :(

    Apologies if this thread has taken a turn at some point in the last four pages - I confess I didn't read all of it, but just to respond to the OP: it's very easy within the mobile phone world to get consumed with the "grass is always greener" effect. I just had the privilege to use a Galaxy S4...

    Anyone have suggestions for apps that duplicate lost TouchWiz GS4 functionality?

    In the many ROMs I've used on multiple phones (Galaxy S, GNex, HTC One X) I've just never found this to be the case (long term). Every single ROM I've ever tried has been buggy in some way (except stock Gnex) - app closures, reboots necessary every couple days (or more), radio issues with...

    Anyone have suggestions for apps that duplicate lost TouchWiz GS4 functionality?

    I'm considering the Google Play version of this phone because I loathe the bloatware on all non-stock Android devices right now, but some of the GS4 software features seem pretty useful. I thought it might be nice to create a list of apps that GE Galaxy S4 buyers could use to restore that lost...

    Questions from a prospective buyer on HTC One physical characteristics and usability

    "Subflush"? Why the concern about pushing buttons in your pocket? In the modern day world of lock screens, is pocket dialing really an issue for anyone? This hasn't happened to me on ANY smartphone with a lock screen, even with the (relatively) easy to press iphone buttons. I tried the One...

    Questions from a prospective buyer on HTC One physical characteristics and usability

    I see. That's a shame. For someone like me, these elements of phone design are key to every day operation. It's not really a matter of just getting used to it in a couple days and then everything's okey dokey. As you can see from my OP, I've owned a variety of Android phones (and many HTC...

    Questions from a prospective buyer on HTC One physical characteristics and usability

    I'm currently an IP5 owner, but traditionally a Android user (my last three phones were the HTC One X, International Gnex, and Galaxy S). I find both camps to be lacking somewhat, but what I like best about iphone are the ergonomics of the phone. Specifically, I like the great tactile response...

    Objective comparison of One X, GSIII, and GNex?

    Looking for such a comparison. Sorry if this is posted here somewhere. I searched but didn't see much, surprisingly. Primarily interested in objective facts about the phones. I've currently got a international GNex, and the areas I'm looking for improvement in are: Battery life, screen...

    Does Google music update changed ID3 tags?

    I'm currently transitioning my 42GB music collection from a file-in-folder format that I used to use to find music to the current industry standard of all music gets put in one big "pot" with ID3 tags to find stuff, so a LOT of my music still doesn't have accurage ID3 tags. I'm going through...

    GrooVe IP - Google Voice VoIP

    Had exactly the same issues at first - are you sure you're not placing the calls when the phone is only receiving EDGE (2G) service? I found that was the case most of the time when I was getting these symptoms. It's not perfect even under 3G/4G, but it works... most of the time. I'm still...

    GrooVe IP - Google Voice VoIP

    I did. As I said, it worked fine. I guess I'll try a clean install and see if that does anything.

    GrooVe IP - Google Voice VoIP

    I just purchased this app last night for my Galaxy Nexus (GSM version) that I'm using on Tmo's $30 pre-paid plan (at the moment). I'm having a lot of difficulty with it. Seemed to work just fine last night on wifi when I just test called my wife's phone, but today I tried it on 4g/3g and I'm...

    My review of the GSM Galaxy Nexus compared to iPhone 4S (long)

    Re: My review of the GSM Galaxy Nexus compared to iPhone 4S (long I've posted a video comparison of the two here: GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus comparison to iPhone 4S - YouTube I'm not much of a reviewer, so take it for what it's worth.

    Anyone Know a Good Case?

    Re: Case? I bought and reviewed the first one you linked. My review is the third one on that page (by "Movie Nut"). It's a pretty decent case. If you have any questions, let me know.
