    Can't swipe fingerprint with one hand on Galaxy S5

    Re: cant swipe fingerprint with one hand on s5 I was able to use the fingerprint scanner with just one hand at the AT&T store. Without having read any of these articles you mention, I can see why it can be awkward and fail because the home button is so close to the bottom of the device. But I...

    Galaxy S5 vs HTC One (M8)

    Re: SG5 vs M8 Oh, the mind still says S5 without a doubt. For one, it will have a larger community of owners to support it. As for the actual device, I feel like Samsung packs in the bells and whistles but in the end all the things that matter most are all there and many of which implemented...

    Galaxy S5 vs HTC One (M8)

    Re: SG5 vs M8 I find the M8 appealing because of the looks, speakers, external SD slot and the opportunity to own a top phone that won't be in everyone else's hands. My heart says M8 but my brain says S5, lol.

    Korean Galaxy S5 Unboxing.

    From what I've read, South Korea has an insane amount of phone integration in everyday life so it's no surprise that extra juice to go that extra mile is required. Subway turnstiles and general monetary transactions just as basic examples. And we all know they are nuts about gaming, lol Sent...

    TNW posts their Galaxy S5 review

    TNW posts their S5 review So apparently the scanner somehow never works and that's all we need to know, lol. Annnnyways, good to hear the camera is great. I held a unit at my local company store a few days ago and agree it feels great in hand, moreso than the Note 3 even. Dare I say I might...

    Why are you choosing Galaxy S5?

    At the end if the day, camera, removable battery and likely more accessories won for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Samsung Galaxy S5 & HTC One M8 Video Comparison Test.

    The htc is just not exposing correctly outdoors. I would think this is something that they can correct in a software update if exposure is the case. But if it's a hardware issue with the ultra pixel sensor always pulling in more light than "standard" sensors, too bad :( Sent from my iPhone...

    Fossil making a Smartwatch

    The smart watch market is looking to be an absolute bonanza now that everyone has a smartphone. People are going to want a billion colors and designs since watches are so often now primarily worn as accessories.

    Combined 16MP shooter for HTC One (M8)?

    Re: Combined 16MP shooter for M8? The new Oppo can combine into a 50mp image :P Oppo Find 7: top 7 features | Android Authority It will be nice if HTC is doing something along these lines. The hardware is at the point where it can push the software that does these functions.

    USB 3 charging: Faster? HOW MUCH FASTER?

    Always look for a "smart" charging device for any batteries. Sad to say a lot of charging devices for my gadgets that can handle multiple batteries are not and continue charging like in your scenario. Cost saving to not include the feature I guess.

    The new HTC One (M8) vs the Galaxy S5 - HTC on the way out?

    Re: The new HTC One vs the Galaxy S5 - HTC on the way out? Don't be disappointed with one or the other until you've tried them out in person. A lot of these lists are just for generating web traffic. I for one will do my best to hold off until my local ATT has both to demo.

    All new HTC One (M8) cases

    Not bad, that's what I would've wanted for my HTC M8 / HTC One 2 / HTC One Plus (2014) if I didn't get a black one. Good to see a namebrand making a clear tpu, they can definitely be hit and miss material and fit-wise with generic ones.

    Galaxy S5: So why no OIS?

    Re: So why no OIS? Likely the same with the S5, since the only big news about it so far has been the new sensor. But that is the most exciting part and I can't wait to see more samples.

    HTC One M8 (pretty much) Full Spec List

    Sounds like they are using one of the lower variants of the 801 based on that clockspeed. We'll see how well optimized the phone is this time around to make use of that slightly larger battery. Perhaps some limitations there in keeping the phone thin and curved. Power consumption was supposed to...
