I hit the recent apps button all the time after unlocking my phone to get back to apps I use constantly (Twitter for example). I don't think it's all that uncommon to use the recent apps button from the homescreen.

Anybody here uses light flow? I'm using light flow lite and for months now there's a bug where SMS notifications don't work with hangouts. I've been using Android's messaging app because of this. If I go on light flow's website it shows that this bug was fixed months ago for the paid version. Anybody know when they intend to bring these changes over to the lite version?

HTC is going back to their roots of being sold off
It wouldn't be too far fetched to assume HTC implemented a semi immersive mode for some parts of the device, especially the home screen. Because like someone mentioned, you don't really need access to those buttons on the home screen (except multitask) so there would be no reason to show them all the time. But the problem with the need for multitask would be solved with immersive mode, meaning they can be accessed by a swipe up.

The Verge about the red Nexus 5:
I need this. I can't have it, but I really NEED it.

Me too. The One is one of my favorite Android phone designs.
Why don't you just get a red silicon case. It is basically what it is.
Cases add bulk.

Yeah the red looks better in the real life pics than the one on the play store.
It looks like a neon orange from what I've seen in reviews.
Whatever it is, it's a great color.

If true, I hope Google gets them to add those boss ass front facing speakers.
I hope they stay far and away from the Nexus 7 line.
HTC is one of those companies that seem to be on the brink of extinction.

Big plus on the N10. Can't believe it isn't standard because it's such a great feature.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Why would you want them to stay away from the 7? Do you hate nice build quality with awesome speakers?
Everything people current hate on HTC phones for wouldn't apply here as the Nexus line already has no sd card slot or removable battery and the Nexus device would have stock software.

There's not a particular problem with the quality of the HTC One that is markedly greater than any other modern high end smartphone. HTC have many issues, in marketing, range, software and sales presently. The quality of that particular phone isn't one of them.
If an HTC made Nexus tablet helps prevent the company from oblivion, the company who lets not forget created the first Android phone then I'm for it. There were plenty of people who criticised Google when it became clear that LG would manufacture the Nexus 4. They executed that phone and then improved it with the N5. Since then they've launched the LG G2 which most agree is a fantastic piece of hardware. If a Nexus tablet can inspire an HTC re-imagining then I only see upsides not downsides.
Yeah the HTC devices I've owned haven't exactly lasted well. Feel nice when you get them but they don't hold up. The One could be different of course, I've no experience with it.
It must be the first week of the month. We're shitting on HTC again.
On a side note, I was talking to some guy today who asked me if Korean smartphones were different than American smartphones. That just made me realize that we have way more 4:3 form factors in Korea for smartphones. Makes the 4.7+ inchers from LG and Samsung pretty awkwardly shaped.

it's one thing when XDA mentions stuff but when reviewers are mentioning the seams and gaps...
and antennas!!!
I was actually surprised by the amount of people I saw that used LG Vus over there. Alien to me that such a form factor could even be popular on phones.

Get a bigger screen with a better resolution. It's not 1998 anymore, Jesus.

Well the HTC One is literally assembled by gluing it together internally, such is why it's so hard to service. So I'll let you take a guess there.
I just need to unscrew a few screws to take apart my Note II if I felt like it, which I don't because I haven't had any issues with it since I bought it in December 2012.

On my 13" retina Macbook Pro I can't actually fit the bloody thing in lengthways. Srs.
This must be the first time I've ever seen you post something positive about Sammy. I'm shocked.

Heh. I didn't bother to quote the picture, because after last years forum update, the board automatically resizes pictures to the width of the browser window.

Shocked? Well truly, this is a first.

It's not my fault you're wasting precious screen space with a browser in full screen. Make it half as wide and the picture will get smaller. It's not my fault that you don't know how to use a browser. 16:9 sucks for the web, which is why 4:3 makes the iPad the better tablet, compared to the competition.

Indeed. It's unprecedented, like EA's partnership with Nintendo for the Wii U!

Yeah, that shit is super popular. Looks like a foundation compact when it has a case on it.
