    Dropped my V20 down a full flight of uncarpeted stairs....

    ... and not a single mark on it. Camera glass fine, screen fine, function fine. Yes, it was in a good case (that Ringke that was one of the first available for it), but it's still impressive!! I seriously thought it was gonna be toast as I watched it bounce, and bounce, and bounce..........

    Icon question

    Anybody know what that is next to the Bluetooth symbol? It's not the usual battery symbol, as that's to the right, as normal.

    Tried to reset and..... HELP

    Followed the "volume + power button" instructions to get into the menu to do a reset, and it's now stuck on something called "fastboot mode for bootloader unlock". And I can't figure out how to get past that screen - no buttons seem to have any effect. This has NOT been a good morning on the...

    Sudden change in battery use

    No new apps or networks, but after 2 months of consistent and excellent battery life, phone is suddenly consuming way more battery (like, 20% more) for basic tasks. It's also the first time I'm aware of the battery heating up during use. Thoughts? Troubleshooting?

    Voice Recognition

    So... it wasn't zOMG amazing on my HTC, but it was better than it is on the LG. Trying to use voice dictation/commands in the car is becoming a major frustration. Are there ways to improve this? I'm using Switfkey for typing, but have it set to switch to Google Voice when I press the mic button...

    Curious - is this good, bad, or average?

    Screen was on throughout the entire period shown, brightness at 40%. Internet use including FB and messenger apps, bluetooth and WiFi were both on, and I'm in a poor signal area. It's better than my HTC M9 for sure, which would have been below 50% with the same usage. It also would have...

    V20 First impressions: Pros, Cons, and Questions

    So because a TMo store near me had one (ONE) in stock, I took the plunge. For those shopping, everybody/where I've asked has said they get maybe one unit per shipment, and they are usually gone the same day; they're obviously trickling them out, so I can only assume that demand has exceeded...

    Will it go on sale?

    Black Friday specials, or is it making too big a splash for special offers? My original plan had been to wait until Thanksgiving sales, but I'm kinda lusting after the headphones. That said, I'd probably rather have a lower price than added goodies, and I see the headphones offer stops the week...

    Any negative reports so far?

    I'm a bit reluctant to be an early adopter as I've been burned in the past (and had originally hoped to wait until the T'giving sales) but 1. With it filling the Note 7 breach I'm questioning whether they'll put it on sale that soon 2. I want the headphones 3. I need a larger screen asap, and...

    A "Which phone should I get?" thread (Tmo)

    Here's the story: we originally moved to Tmo from ATT last year for the included Canadian coverage (which we need). I took my excellent ATT (unlocked) HTC M8 with me; alas, had to migrate to a Tmo M9 after a week when it became clear that although unlocked, it was not going to play nice with...

    Tmo M9 update/stability weirdness

    So while the M9 hasn't been a great HTC phone (I'm now on my THIRD warranty replacement since getting it last fall), the most-recent handset has been running mostly fine until recently. Last week, I headed up to Canada. As soon as we hit the Telus servers (which is what Tmo lets you use while...

    Marshmallow - ugh

    I received an uhoh replacement which came with 6.0. Serious dislike. Bluetooth issues big time (including not working with my Tile device) and constantly disconnecting/reconnecting in the car. Driving me nuts. Battery life isn't great, either. I cleared the cache and have tried everything...

    Help Another update question: Visual Voicemail?

    The new handset is doing great for the most part - there was obviously something drastically wrong with the update on the old one, as this is not only a completely different experience, but has different options and even looks different. Weird. However, one thing I can't quite figure out: on...

    Help Woke up to the ATT Lollipop update...

    It didn't even prompt me - just did it :-/ Not digging it so far (and dang was this the WRONG DAY to have to deal with a new OS! Ugh. I wish I could've done this over the weekend when I had time to deal with it....) No lock screen weather/clock. I gather this is now something one can't add...

    What is this icon?

    The one on the left. It appeared in my notification bar for the first time tonight, and can't figure out what it means......

    New M8 - a few things....

    An "unplanned upgrade" from my One X (read - it got doused and died) meant I had to just hold my nose and buy the One M8. I'd always planned on sticking with HTC - I LOVE(d) the One x - but this was a little sooner than I'd envisaged! I think in a perfect world I'd have preferred the m7, but...

    One X + aux cable + car charger conflicts?

    Hi! Absolutely love (LOVE) this phone - after enduring two years of the Hell Which Is ITunes I finally moved to android and am SO much happier. I use this thing all the time for everything (vs AVOIDING using the iPhone). I have it plugged into my car aux system so I can use it both as a phone...
