I just got this update on mine tonight. Since the previous update, I've been having a terrible time with the Messaging app. It lags terribly while typing. You type a little, and it does nothing, then bursts the characters onto the screen. A bit of a pain, but usable. Never did that before...

I received the update this morning, upgrade proceded with no problems. I can report that the WiFi calling/GPS problem seems to have been resolved. I can now use both. Previously, once WiFi calling was activated, the GPS would stop functioning. Only a factory reset would bring it back. So...

I have the HTC One M8 (HK Edition)on Sprint as well, and have had intermittent problems with the GPS on the device since the 4.4.3 update was released. I've had to 'factory reset" it to get it to work again (done this 3 times now). The last time I did that I noticed that enabling the WiFi...

While I haven't found a way to turn that off in Galley, I've started using the "Photos" app instead. I agree, the Gallery app is annoying, so I no longer use it.

Mine didn't have the "Help" app either. To find the icon list, I went to the "HTC Mobile Guide" app (which took me to an online system) then I clicked on "Phone Basics", then "Status and Notifications", then "Status Bar". The icon list is there. Incidentally, the icon the OP referenced...

Recently I was on a trip with my wife. I couldn't get Google Maps to find my location (accurately) no matter how I has the Location Services set. We had to use her iPhone maps instead. I thought "what a piece of crap this phone is as a GPS unit". Later I downloaded an app (GPS Status) and...

What do you mean by 'ate your card'? Corrupted data? Can you reformat it or is it functionally dead? I have used a Sandisk Ultra 32GB MicroSD in my Note 8 for a little over a year now. Never any problems.

My Note 8 updated today too. Louisville KY area. I don't really see any major difference in the screens or functionality. I don't know what I expected but it's not much different. I was hoping for something cool and interesting, I guess. ;-) The upgrade went well, no problems. It was...

My Photon Q updated yesterday to 4.1.2 and it went well. It came in via OTA and prompted me update. No problems to report. I didn't remove the SD card; no problems there either. Not as many changes as I had expected (hoped for). I'll need some time to see if there are any adverse effects...

No such problems with mine. Good luck!

Are there really any Motorola "fanboys"? ;-) Please read my review on this forum: "Switched from Photon to Photon Q (review)" for my take on it. I have both the Photon Q and the iPhone 4s (work phone) and I spend more time with the Moto. It has become my go-to phone for most activities...

This is just my single opinion with a single phone. The ear-speaker and the loudspeaker (on the back) are both good for listening to calls. I have had some callers tell me the microphone for calls isn't very clear, but not so much of a problem when using it as a speakerphone. I don't know...

My understanding is the battery in the Photon Q is not user-replaceable. I could be wrong. I believe the same goes for the SIM card, but I believe it was replaceable in the original Photon. I never needed to do that, I hardly ever travel outside the US.

This past weekend, I switched from the original Motorola Photon, to the new Photon Q. I haven't seen many reviews here on it so I wanted to chime in. The reason for the switch, for me, was the physical keyboard. Prior to the Photon, I had the Palm Pre and two different Treos before that, so I...

I get that sometimes because mine pairs with two phones. I've found that all I have to do is tap the main side button once and it will connect to the phone. It usually connects to Phone 1 automatically, but then I have to tap the button to get Phone 2 to connect. I used to go through the...
