I got a batch of htc app updates through the play store yesterday and was surprised to see the camera among them, which is great because you won't be waiting for system updates to see camera improvements.

Yeah, they regularly update their apps. HTC used to often release devices with undercooked camera and update and improve over time. These days they're a lot more refined from the get-go.

Parcel Motel have taken my money, so mine is somewhere in Dublin. Might get it tonight, probably tomorrow.

Few more down points for me after more use:

Gear S3 won't play nice at all. Connects ok but I have a persistent notification of a big white square for Samsung Accessory Service transferring files to Gear. Call audio is auto transferring to the watch too meaning I've had to switch call audio off completely to avoid that. Used to be that the audio went to the phone if I answered the phone and the watch if I answered on the watch.

Charging is very slow compared to what I'm used to and the phone is absolutely boiling while charging.

I've found the screen really unresponsive. Loads of times, especially on the upper half, I've had to tap numerous times for it to register.

You're using that modified apk from XDA for your gear?

Quick charge is as fast as any of the Sammy's, but won't charge fast if you're using it, generally.

I see three online are selling it on payg for 700€ or 60€ unlimited everything with €199 down. Not too bad considering an iPhone 7 128gb is 349€

So I think I'll go ahead and order on htc site sold off a couple of things so can justify it haha! . It's sim free ya?

All I have to think bout now is what cover I should get. I want something will show off the phone but I want proper protection as well seeing as it's not likely to take much damage!!

What chargers are needed for spares then? Quick Charge 3.0 is it? I've an Aukey one coming that I think is that. The Pixel C charger doesn't do it fast.

Any charger thats qc 3.0 ya. Those 3rd party companies are actually authorised by qualcomm and are on an official list you can download

Ya sim free, try sign up for the HTC club and get it cheaper, 675. There's a descent clear case in the box, 3rd party cases are thin on the ground at the moment but I think spigen are releasing some later in the month.

Ya I seen the clear spigen cases taught looked really good. I assume phone comes with a screen protector as always right?

The screen protector is major thing for me cause I find it always picks up few scratches over time in your pocket etc. So I'll have to figure out something!!

Maybe when I look again it would work, there's about 1mm of bezel either side that's flat before the curving starts so a precise one should fit ok and not lift.[/quote]
Surprised don't give you one every phone I've had for last few years came with one as standard. Never needed to buy one.

I haven't used a screen protector on an HTC since the M8. Screen has always been perfect. This is the first time in years I haven't had Spigen cases purchased before the phone arrives, dunno why they're slacking so much this year.

Regarding chargers, I have this 5 port anker charger sitting in my lounge. Has two QC 3.0 outputs, find it very handy between all phones and tablets I have floating around the house.

Hoping to get my text from Parcel Motel in the next couple of hours. Working until lunchtime anyway.

God that looks good. I hope I don't regret getting the Silver. I needed a change from the generic grey/gunmetal/black i've had the last few years though.

There's normally just the normal plastic screen protector on the phone when you buy it. That would do me just for finger prints little scratches etc. Is there one of them on it even?

Cool_CM · 09-06-2017 12:15PM

Just picked one up there in a three shop with no pre-order. Can't wait to get to play with it later!

Halflifept · 09-06-2017 12:21PM

Is going to be available on carphonewarehouse?

Don't think I've ever bought a phone with a screen protector on it. I remember the original galaxy S had one with graphics all over it.

Hey Basil, you might be able to help with this, if i had a minor complaint about the phone at moment is the constant notification that appears in the notification shade for the boom sound mode selection, which i don't mind when there is actual sound playing, but it's getting activated scrolling past ads here on boards, on twitter, and on Facebook, they must have sound thats playing silently and triggering the notification, its kinda annoying!

You mind me asking was the prepay or billpay. Also wondering is it locked to Three. Did they only have the black in stock ? Seems all that's available from them online. Thanks.
