    Transforming a white front HTC 10 in a black one

    Hi. Mine arrived today from China to the UK. I like it, I do have a slight mark on the front which won't go and at the moment have two vertical light strips around the inside of the side bezels. It may stick down I don't know. I like the look and wish more the silver black was available outside...

    HTC 10 Headphone jack, and Fingerprint scanner questions

    A factory reset would be the first step, you could try a cache wipe before that and see.

    Bought a hTC 10 that is LOCKED and S-OFF. Is this OK?

    A final note, if sunshine app does not reset from s-off to s-on ( I have never had to try this ) then you will need to use ADB commands. However, before you attempt to s-on you need to make sure everything is 100% stock. As you are S off I would leave it at that, just to be sure. The phone will...

    Bought a hTC 10 that is LOCKED and S-OFF. Is this OK?

    Locked and s off is a great position to be in if you want to mod your phone in any way. The previous owner would have paid $25 for s off from an app called sunshine, this is equal to and better than unlocking the bootloader as you can s on or off and the bootloader will still be classed as...

    Transforming a white front HTC 10 in a black one

    So I've also ordered the black protector for my white fronted 10. How is the home button function with it on ? Obviously it will be recessed but how much does it hinder ease of fingerprint unlocking ?

    HTC 10 WIFI range issue

    There's been a lot of talk about WiFi on the 10, some suggesting the antenna placement is poor coupled with the metal body affecting performance. My experience is different however, I'd say range and speed is on a par with my M8 with speed probably better on the 10. This is on 2.5ghz network...

    Transforming a white front HTC 10 in a black one

    Yeah, I regret in a way getting the white front , but, as you know, the black version deteriorates over time on the back whereas my silver back is unblemished. This could be a good solution for me so thanks again. Just wish US version was available to all

    Transforming a white front HTC 10 in a black one

    Think I'll give it a go, small price to try anyway. I think the white button looks unique too 😊

    HTC 10 or HTC U11?

    The 11 has better battery, better screen and faster storage. The 10 is much more durable though due to being metal, not glass and also has a regular headphone jack. The 11 also is bigger than the 10 in screen and body which may or may not be an advantage. The 10 is a good, fast solid phone...
