    Why can't I connect to a lot of websites with my HTC One M8?

    Re: i cant connect to a lot of websites with my htc one m8 I had this problem where I could get to some websites and not others on wifi after updating. To fix it I had to do a factory reset from the boot loader (not from the settings menu). Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Having major battery issues on 2 of my phones.

    I had this problem recently and it turned out to be my corporate email account. I deleted the account and re-added it and things seems a lot better. I don't know what caused it as I had not modified any settings on that e-mail in several months. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

    Battery Life?

    My battery life was bad. So I started playing with my Exchange server's sync schedule. And for some reason setting it to "push" improved my battery life. Also if I leave my bluetooth on when I don't need it, it sucks the life out of my battery (even when it is not connected to anything, and...

    Kies not working properly

    I am guessing that when the ICS update goes live that they will also update what the supported versions of the firmware are. That will make the phone list as being supported (and that there is an update).

    Weird Text from AT&T (maybe?)

    I don't think that I would trust a text on updating. Sounds like it it could be a fishing attack.

    Official ICS for Skyrocket by June 30th

    Unfortunately, the "there is an update but the servers are busy" message really should just say "the servers are busy" It has nothing to do with there actually being an update.

    Google Chrome

    I'm on the 2.3.6 and pressing the home button takes me to my "true" homescreen (the middle one).

    WTF did I do? My phone is going nuts.

    Re: WTF did I do? Stuck in Odin then fine again? it does sound like something is up with the USB port. It sounds like you are not running an ATT rom (just from your talk of talking flashing a stock rom). Did you do a nandroid backup from before installing the custom rom? if so, you _might_ be...

    Will you upgrade to the GS3?

    I don't know, but I believe that the no links on the HTC X might be related to the Apple lawsuit.

    Voice Dialing over Bluetooth with Skyrocket?

    by reboot, I mean press the power button until it asks if you want to shut down. Then shutting down and turning it back on. I have not tried dialing with a car, only my BT head set. I start Vlingo InCar and then I can press and hold my call button on my phone (and the first time it happens it...

    Voice Dialing over Bluetooth with Skyrocket?

    I am not sure what you mean by hand activated? But I can long press on my bluetooth with Vlingo (well the Vlingo-InCar app that comes with Vlingo) and tell it who to dial. Now there are a lot of people that don't like Vlingo, but it seems to mostly work for me. (Note I had to reboot to get it...

    Blue Tooth voice commands

    Must be a difference in settings, vlingo-in-car part of vlingo works with "call john" over bluetooth for me.

    Blue Tooth voice commands

    I just verified with the latest 2.3.6 that if I "long press" my bluetooth button, the only options I get are Vlingo and Vlingo in-car. I believe that 2.3.6 fixed some issues people were having with multiple bluetoooth devices paired with the phone.

    Blue Tooth voice commands

    It does not come with the support out of the box, like the Atrix does (There is nothing that responds to the bluetooth call "button"). I almost returned it for the same reason. It is possible to get Vlingo for free from "Play" and it works. The one big downfall is that since there is no...
