HTC made a commitment to release new versions of Android within 90 days of release. Lollipop source code was released on November 3rd. Therefore to make good on that pledge they have until 1st February. Mmmm.

If so when and what carrier? Ta!

Eeek. My phone has died on me. I was using it as normal and it froze. The screen went off and then nothing. I tried holding the power button - nothing. Tried putting it on charge - nothing. I suspect its a goner. The thing is I bought it from Phone 4U who are now defunct. In that...

Had the phone since April and battery life is awesome. As the battery is fixed what is the best way to keep the inevitable deterioration of the battery to a minimum? I have read that charging more often is better that letting the phone run down really low before a charge. TBH I tend...

I've had the M8 for several weeks but one feature I just don't really understand is the Zoe. Could someone please explain its use and how to create one? Thanks

When I first got the phone I noticed the BoomSound icon in the notification bar when using either blue tooth or wired headphones. However since the last update that added EPS BoomSound is now disabled when using blue tooth headphones :( Does anyone know why this is? A shame as it does...

My phone is set under 'Backup & reset' to automatically back up to HTC each day. I just did an auto backup of settings, passwords, apps etc, etc. However the option to 'Restore from HTC backup' is greyed out? Is this only active AFTER a restore?

My previous phone was an S3 and the supplied Samsung earphones had volume controls as well as a pause button. The ones that came with my M8 only have a pause\next button? I tried my Samsung ear phones in the M8 but the volume buttons just pause the audio! Do volume buttons not work on wired...

I've noticed that when my phone reaches 15% it automatically goes into Power Save mode. Does anyone know if you can change this threshold? I can turn this off when it appears and tweak what is 'power saved' but just wondered if you could raise or lower threshold or even turn this off. Ta

Just got an OTA software update (120 MB) - its added the Extreme Power Saving Mode! Notes from update below: 1.54.401.5 system improvements: stability improvement call audio performance improvement connectivity: Bluetooth interoperability enhancement WiFi firmware update...

Looked at the specs that I can find but can't see any reference to Bluetooth aptX support? Hopefully the S5 will support it will as did the S3 and S4 - but would like to see confirmation.

My own S3 is unbranded but my daughters is T-Mobile. Can I just download the 4.1.2 T-Mobile ROM from Sammobile and flash with Odin? Ta

My daughter and I both upgraded to 4.3 tonight - she OTA and me by KIES. So far everything seems OK but won't know until I]ve lived with it for a few days. However we both keep getting a list of about a dozen 'downloaded' files appearing in the notification bar. Files such as phonepicture...

I currently have a S3 and get graet sound using apt-x compatible bluetooth headphones. Did the leaked manual mention whether the N5 will support apt-x?

For some reason I can't get my Swift keyboard to stay as default. I set it and as default and its there when I try to send SMS or email. However when I try later its reverted back to Samsungs! Very annoying. Can anyone help? Ta
