    Cast issue

    Hi guys, My S7 has just updated to Android 8.0. Since then, I've had issues casting to a Google Home speaker. I can get the audio to cast fine, but when I lock my phone the volume buttons stop controlling the playback volume. After a minute or so, the sound starts coming out of my phone...

    Google Now issue

    Thanks for your reply. I've tried the obvious - turning the phone on and off, the app is up to date but hasn't been updated for a little while so I don't think an update has caused the issue. I've tried removing updates and reinstalling, but that's made no difference. Battery saver is enabled...

    Google Now issue

    Hi guys, I've had my Galaxy S7 for a year now, so far with no issues. I connect it to a my car radio via bluetooth, which has a button to press to enable a voice command with Google Now and is something I use frequently. Since last week that's stopped working - the listening 'ping' goes, but...

    It doesn't look like there's going to be anything in the UK for a while... the HTC website still shows 'Integration'. HTC Software Updates | HTC United Kingdom

    Nexus 4 owners, when will you get a new phone?

    I was planning to stick with my N4 until around February next year but the battery life just got too bad for me and I got fed up with carrying around my portable battery pack. The last straw for me was when I had to go into London to an area where I was used to for work but someone took me...

    HTC One (M8): Bugs and Defects

    Just one bug so far for me, and quite a weird one. If I'm watching something on Google Play Movies and press the menu button on my pebble, the video crashes out. It took me a while to realise it wasn't just a coincidence. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using AC Forums mobile app

    What is my phone?

    Thanks for replying. Yes, the uninstall option for the EE app is greyed out. I did buy the phone from a fairly reputable retailer and because EE say they don't sell unlocked phones and this one was properly sealed I think I'll try contacting HTC first to see what they say as I don't think it's...

    What is my phone?

    It is working fine on my network, at least for 3G. I don't know if I have to wait for EE to release software updates though and they are incredibly slow.

    What is my phone?

    Slightly unusual title, I know. I have had my M8 for 2 weeks now and bought it sim-free in the UK, however it came with a MyEE app installed that cannot be removed, indicating that the phone is an EE phone and not sim-free. The phone works fine with my 3 SIM card, so I know it's not locked...

    Android 4, M8 4.4.3

    Re: Android 4,M8 4.4.3 No, I haven't changed any of the HTC apps. It came through as a system update which slightly confused me as I've only had the phone for a fortnight and one of the first things I did was to check for updates but one wasn't available, so I don't think it's an old update I'd...

    Android 4, M8 4.4.3

    Actually, maybe I don't... I just got a 230mb update and installed it, but my phone still says 4.4.2?

    Will 4G function globally?

    Actually, 3 also does 4G in the UK and is the same price as 3G with up to unlimited data. Their 4G runs on the 800 and 1800 MHz bands which as far as I can tell should be compatible with your M8, but I may be wrong! Edit: It may not fully work, the 1800 MHz band is supported but the 800 may not...

    M8 Worst phone ?637 data used

    Sorry if you viewed my post as being rude. If your phone has used that much data there must have been an error in 3's system to allow it to happen - they should have protections against that. If you got no luck with customer support you could always try emailing the CEO to see what he (or his...

    Tooltips

    Hi there, I don't know if you can really call them 'tooltips', but there are some odd choices on some underlined terminology to provide definitions. One example I've noticed is that if you hover over GB, you get 'Gingerbread'. I know that's a version of android, but it makes no sense when you...
