HTC 10
Comments

I bought a HTC 10 the other day (Eir upgrade) as I was sick of the terrible battery life on the IP7 (had a 10 before and regretted selling it almost instantly). Interestingly the firmware must have been pretty up to date as Android pay was on it.
I'm on 195.401.4 and September security patch. Incidentally there is actually zero bloat other than Facebook and Instagram. If I remember the last 10 had more bloat (was with VF). Also zero Eir branding or utils. Oh and it's unlocked out of the box as my VF pay sim worked just fine. Paid 99 euro for it, first 6 months 25euro a month, then of course 45 after that
Thinking of doing the whole unlock boot loader, root, s-off thing and putting on the latest 2.xx firmware with Nougat but reading lots of reports about hassle people are having and twrp and other stuff not working. Then again, I don't know when carriers like Eir/Meteor will release Nougat after it's released officially for the 10 over here. Might just root it so I can change the carrier id to international and flash a 1.9X firmware so can get updates quicker and Nougat when it comes. Anyone doing this ?0 -

Why did you regret the HTC10 after buying it? And why did you get it again?

I'm waiting for twrp to be working before jumping to nougat. The whole twrp thing is meant to be tied to the kernel, so it might not be fixed until HTC drop kernel source.
You can still flash n ROM and firmware, you're just limited by what you can do after that. I do a bunch of flashable mods that I need to update to work with magisk, then they will be fine even with broken twrp. I just struggle finding the time to get my head around new stuff ATM.0 -

On a more general note, I’m a HTC loyalist - I’ve had HTC phones as long as I can remember.
At the same time, I’m wondering is the HTC 10 worth the (high) price when some of their competitors (LG, Samsung, Huawei) are significantly cheaper?
Ta,

I'm not the person to talk to. I've had like 10 HTC flagships dating back to the MDA Vario III (Tytn II) on Windows Mobile
It is the best HTC phone for a good while, though. You won't be disappointed.
I modify my device, so the development community always keeps me coming back to HTC. All their competitors have decent phones atm as well, so I'd say you'd be pretty happy with any of the flagships that came out this year.
Another thing to bear in mind is that it's only a few short months until the next round of flagships are released.0 -

I never said i regretted the 10 after buying it. I said I regretted selling it.0 -

Right, last week I posted a question here to fellow 10 users asking if anyone experienced their phone not actually ringing when they received a call. But I hastily deleted the post as I realized I was dumb ass and for some reason had my ring tone set to silent. :rolleyes:
However, I was still confused as I would have had no reason to change the tone to silent. Also I noticed that the vibrate button was unticked.
So there we go again this morning and all of a sudden I have more missed calls My ringtone is set to silent again, and vibrate turned off!!! WTF Now there is no way that I changed this myself over the last few days. The other thing that my phone has a habit of doing is turning off the auto rotate for when watching videos etc.
What the hell is gong on? Anyone else experiencing these changes going on in the background? What else is it doing without telling me?0 -

You have some sort of automatic Do Not Disturb rules set? I'm running Nougat now, so can't remember how it used to be. Something like Settings > Sound and Notification > Do Not Disturb > Automatic Rules.0 -

tried this, but don't see anything there about automatic rules
the other thing that not happening for me lately is that my emails aren't coming through anymore until I actually go into the email app.0 -

The Email thing happened to me when I first setup my phone but I can't remember how I fixed that. There is a way
As for the turning on silent etc, by any chance do you keep your phone in your pocket or bag with other items?0 -
