    Post Poll: HTC M8 Color

    I used Adaway in the past, but it prevented Hulu Plus from working correctly, and, besides, I generally don't install apps that don't have an ad free option.

    Post Poll: HTC M8 Color

    I gave the gunmetal a hard look, but ended up with silver. Part of that was because every single review of the gunmetal grey one noted how incredibly slippery the phone was and, since I don't want to cover this beautiful phone, I went with the silver Unlocked version. I would've gone with the...

    Post [Q] Android 4.4 kitkat sharing issue

    No joy. Although Keep seems to be the only unaffected Google app. In my case, it keeps defaulting to FB. I've found that if I disable FB I get the menu back. Not a big deal for me since I rarely use FB anyway. ---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM...

    I'm currently typing this on the XTZ and I can tell you that everything you've heard about the Wi-Fi is absolutely true. It works well when there's a strong signal but when the signal starts to get weak the tablet has a hard time holding on to the signal. I hope the next update will fix this issue.

    Post [Q] Does the Sprint HTC One have a removable SIM?

    My understanding is that CDMA doesn't use removable SIM cards, it's the advent of LTE that's moving the CDMA networks to SIM cards (although, apparently the HTC EVO LTE lacked a removable SIM).

    Actually #1 is no longer true. They've since changed their unlocking method and folks, including myself, are now rocking SIM unlocked phones. In fact, I successfully used a T-Mobile SIM in my Sprint-unlocked HTC One (GSM data only and very spotty coverage).
