    Where Did You Go After HTC 10?

    I though my HTC 10's battery was fine until I got my Galaxy S10+. Once the Samsung power manager developed an initial usage profile, the phone has been able to go roughly 2.5 days before absolutely needing to recharge (less than 15% power remaining).

    Where Did You Go After HTC 10?

    Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but after being a loyal HTC user from the One Max to the 10, I jumped ship to the Samsung Galaxy S10+. HTC's hit-or-miss quality, broken update promises, et cetera made it an easy choice to move on.

    Oreo update messing up play store

    This has been my experience as well. Smoother performance, better battery life, and the random reboots have stopped completely.

    Strange padlock icon in HTC 10 status bar?

    The Color lights

    It's secretly scanning your brain, sifting through your memories. It's the same as parsing your browser history, only more damning. :D Seriously, I haven't seen it do this before. But I'll keep my eyes peeled. Something must be triggering it.

    HTC 10 owners: are you tempted by the G6/S8?

    Re: HTC 10 owners: are you temped by the G6/S8? Nope. The 10 is still a solid performer and fits my lifestyle nicely. I'm locked in with it for at least another year.

    Google Assistant update?

    Assistant showed up on my phone just before a recent trip to New Orleans. I'm glad it did. It made getting around the French Quarter way more convenient (as in getting the answers I needed without putting my drink down).

    HTC 10 and AT&T

    It definitely works. I have an unlocked HTC 10 that I use on AT&T and have never had a moment's bother.

    Nougat Update Delayed!

    The only bug I encountered with the original update was occasional lagging in connecting to wifi. I haven't seen it anymore with the last two updates. Bluetooth has been solid throughout.

    At my fingertips? No. I saw an update on this site a while back, though. I trust you're as capable of finding it as I am.

    There have been a number of server-side updates that opened access to several additional services. Integration with IFTTT is also available. It's still a work in progress, but there has been progress nonetheless.
