I'm seeing it too, but I will not download it until I know specifically what it contains. The changelog is too generic. I'm not risking it.

Textra is tops. No question. It's only downfall IMO is the lack of advanced message details, like long-pressing on a message to get all the additional info of that message. All you can do is swipe to get the time-stamp. Good, but not nearly enough.

Bootloop happened to me on Sunday. No rhyme or reason, just went into the LG logo screen and stayed that way until I pulled the battery. Took the phone in to the carrier today, they took it back, ported my number onto an old phone, and I'll decide on whether to get an S7, 10, or wait for the...

Could you elaborate on the "OS battery drain"?

There is a way, though it's a workaround cheat and it may end up damaging either your speaker and/or headphones. EX. I use Blackplayer as my music app (though most have these feature) where you can augment the sound via a digital amplifier. It definitely makes the sound louder volume-wise, but...

It's like walking into a used car lot. Just get away from me -- when I'm ready to buy it, I'll buy it. Sometimes I feel like asking if they have any questions for me about the phone, because I now know more about it (HTC 10 / GSG7) than any carrier rep ever could.

Why? Is Blinkfeed not accessible or available as a widget/homescreen if you apply Nova as a launcher?

On Mobiwatch.net, the reviewer stated his HTC 10 came not with a USB 3.1 Type-C cable, but rather a 2.0 cable because (and he contacted HTC about this) they felt a 3.1 cable would distort the screen somehow. Can you confirm what type of cable came with your review unit, whether or not you've...

I still don't get the appeal of wireless charging. The only benefit is not plugging in a cable, but it's infinitely more confining as you have to lay/set down your device and most likely can't use it. If you are using it, you're draining the very battery you're trying to charge. Until someone...

HTC screwed me over on the M7 -- great phone -- but got one with the purple camera. I want to give them a second chance, and the 10 might just do the trick, but they're not making it easy, particularly for the USA. No 64GB option, most likely no headphones, not offering all color choices...

Re: We've got the HTC 10 — and we're answering your questions right here! Sorry, just thought of another question... In Themes, is it possible to "darken" Sense, particularly the Settings area, with a black or dark gray material theme versus the typical white we're seeing in all the hands-on...

Re: We've got the HTC 10 — and we're answering your questions right here! Figured as much. Thanks.

Re: We've got the HTC 10 — and we're answering your questions right here! Does it have double-tap the screen to wake/turn off?

Not necessarily. The manual could have been written prior to any details being solidified between Qualcomm and Sammy. I can't tell you how many devices I've had whose manuals have copied and pasted info from a previous model into the next year's device. Manuals are not lore with specs, merely...

Re: It has a notification LED I'm sure it's a multi-colored LED, but can it be configured via third-party apps, i.e. Textra? I was able to do that on my G4 and it was pretty cool to have multiple colors for email, phone, texts, etc.
