Yeah I remember them saying about phone notifications at last years I/O but I couldn't find anything about it being live on there yet. phone and the HP11 should be fine for smart lock then at least.

Not enough volume to get the best quality at a reasonable price IMO. They used JDI last year, that looks like a Sharp panel. Sony are using JDI only in the Z series.
Honestly that looks very similar to the poor 5" Sharp VA panel that Sony used in the Z/Z1.

The day that HTC releases a phone with a great camera is the day that I'll get t mobile service at where I work.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Don't get the 11 as the hardware is OLD. There are cheaper or similar priced options that have better inards. Trust me on this even if the industrial design on the 11 is nice.
Then what's the point?

Any suggestions? as it stands atm I can get the 11 for £110 on ebay which I didn't think was too bad. I'll admit too I did cringe when I saw it used that samsung processor.
I was looking at a windows tablet swell mainly the Linx 10 but I figured since the only thing i'd probably use on a windows tablet was youtube/web browsing i'd get a chromebook instead.

Looks like ill hold onto my Z3v for awhile longer.
The only thing that would tempt me is a nexus 6.

You made a definitive statement that wasn't correct man, not me. No big deal, but it's not my job to state the point. They'll work in the US should you decide to sacrifice 4G.
If he/she decides that's not for them, great, but at least he's working with accurate information
Oh okay.

My God HTC... Can't shake my head hard enough.
S6 / Note 5 will probably turn out to be the best Android phones this year.

Not sure of the deals you can get, but the Dell Chromebook 11, Toshiba Chromebook 2, and Asus Chromebook are the best you can get right now. HP 11 gets notably worse scores.
Rumor has it when you bring your old phone into the Apple Store, they give you the cash then spit on your phone then throw it on the ground while maintaining eye contact.

I was looking at the Toshiba but seems the 4GB model is hard to come by and the 2GB is about 30 pounds more on ebay for a used model than the HP11
Wish I could afford a pixel lol

I can no longer install or update apps that are sideloaded i.e. not from the Play Store. On the black install screen tapping anywhere in the Install box does nothing and I can only go back and cancel it. I noticed this when I side-downloaded on the 13th 4 Google app updates (e.g. the Store and Music) because I hate rollouts (still not in the Play Store today!) I can't even update the Amazon Appstore or install games from it for this reason. I have checked the option to install 3rd party apps in security settings but it doesn't effect it; I also unchecked and checked it again to no avail. Phone is a 2013 Moto X with 4.4.4 on Cricket.

Initial HTC One M9 batch delayed due to software issues
Prerelease hardware, prerelease software. The most annoying fucking attempt by companies to delay bad news. And the sad thing is, sometimes it's probably a legit excuse, but it is used so often that I just assume it's bullshit.
How about you stop sending unfinished units for people to review? Ever think of that?

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Yup. If the reviews are positive, everyone get hyped. If they're negative, come on, guys, it's unfinished software.
Screw off, companies.
i think they learned from ubisoft , so they gonna release unfinished hardware and software

hmmm so I got some hands on time with the S6 edge/M9.
Not bad I guess. M9 is what you'd expect. The camera looks weird. S6 edge felt high quality, I like the size of the device overall. But the edges still seem kinda gimmicky to me more often than not.
Either way not bad.

touchwiz is also better, the settings especially. It's still touchwiz though. Honestly if the battery was better it could have been beast.
But yeah I put the m9 down in less than a minute though it was very snappy. But the s6 edge was more interesting. Was a white one I used.
Are you using an app that affects brightness? If so, and from disables installing third party apps. It also makes it impossible to accept root access pop ups. Try disabling the brightness app and you should be able to confirm the third party install dialogue.
Where did you try out the phones?
-Pyromaniac-

Don't want to say tooooo much but tried them at work! And no I don't work in retail. Don't even think stores have them yet.
More Twitter fodder
Seriously HTC, what's happened to you? You're just two years removed from having released the best phone ever, and now you're doing damage control on your newest flagship's downgraded screen?
HTC has been an awful company historically with their Android products. I'll always be hesitant in their devices.
That being said, this could all be a wash.

Does this include low end phones? How much would I get for a Moto G 2014 LTE?

The M7 and M8 are awesome phones (M8 is ugly though IMO) and HTC's software support for those phones has been just as good as Google's support for the Nexus line, so your hesitation is unfounded when it comes to those two because to me they are far and away the best phones of the last two years. HTC must have hit their heads really hard though because the M9 is looking a huge disappointment when put next to the M7 and M8.

Yup. Looks like a Sony phone.
Looks real clean.
Their design feels very tired already.
How is it unfounded? I didn't discredit the M8/M7. They are responsible for some of the worst Android devices, as well as some of the "best". Their software has been garbage on other devices.
HTC Thunderbolt survivor here.

I'm gonna take one for the team guys. I'll get an M9. I hope it comes with a free freezer pack.
It's unfounded because HTC redeemed themselves with the M7 and M8. I had the Evo 3D, which wasn't too far off from the Thunderbolt, and I swore off HTC after that, but I ended up getting the One M7 by chance and I'm really glad I did. In terms of just the phones themselves, HTC bitch-slapped their competitors with the M7 and M8.
