Do a complete factory reset. The bios has been flashed, so the android updates will remain in place.

If you're talking with the stock HTC keyboard, I believe this was removed with Sense 5.5

Yeah it went when I upgraded yesterday.

I presume I can download one.

Lads, today I got 4 hours out of my HTC One's battery.
It was fine yesterday. I even turned off Blinkfeed this morning coz I noticed there was something up after its went down to 75% pretty fast.

Its a bit sluggish to unlock so I'm thinking theres something running in the background thats using up all the CPU.
I've rebooted it a cupla times as well.

Is there any better way of finding out whats using the battery? At the moment, it just says the Android System is using 37%, Dialer is using 23%, Google Services 6% and HTC Sense using 3%. Then is has Wifi 14% idle 10% and voice cals 3%.

That doesnt really tell me anything.

Try the GSam Battery app, that might explain it in more detail. Also, check out Wake Lock Detector app.

Pinch to zoom I believe, but if you're zooming with a 4MP camera, you're loco

Hi trying to unlock my Vodafone htc one. Just received the unlock code from them today. Went and put in a Tesco mobile sim and all it asks for is a pin code for the card and not the network unlock code. Tried it with a 48 sim card also and getting the same result. Definitely not a case of the phone already being unlocked because I get no signal or service and I have had both sims in a separate phone here and it has signal so not a case of being out of signal. Any ideas ?

killbillvol2 · 02-12-2013 03:47PM

I think you have to unlock it with the VF sim still in it. Then use the other sims.

Have you tried using your unlock code instead of PIN? Or maybe disable PIN for the sim card before changing it?

I think this is correct, I had to do the same with my old Galaxy Note 2. Nothing would pop up when I put a different SIM in, but when I put my VF one in I was able to enter unlock code.

Paddy_B · 02-12-2013 04:47PM

I had a PIN code like this associated with my O2 SIM.
It was written on the little card that the SIM came in.

Can anyone help me here please?

I got an android update over the weekend with the 3 network (not KitKat just an update), and ever since Saturday morning I cant text they way I normally do. There is no way to turn off the QWERTY (or other versions of qwerty) in the settings to change back to the 9 keys and its driving me crazy!!!!

Anyone know how to get this setting back so I can txt? Stupid update.

Ivefoundgod · 02-12-2013 05:00PM

Go back a page. They removed that option in the 5.5 update. You'll have to download a replacement keyboard. I'd advise just getting Swiftkey and getting used to the QWERTY layout, Swiftkey is fantastic and the T9 style keyboards are obsolete at this stage.

QWERTY is rubbish and I know no one who uses it tbh. What replacement would you recommend I get to go back to the phone style instead of qwerty?

Ha, thats kinda funny, I know nobody that uses the phone style and I'd consider it rubbish. Personal preference I suppose.

I'm afraid I don't know any, I don't use the old style keyboard. Give it a google, i'm sure there's a few decent ones out there.

Lol really?! Oh well, I'll google it and see if I can find a solution so. Thanks anyway!

Yes OMG my sister in law was using t9 on her SE xperia Ray last year but since she got an s4 it's swype style all the way. t9 is just outrageously....NAFF :P

Don't remember but the last time I did it I think I asked VF how to do it.

Anyone you know with an iPhone uses QWERTY. The vast majority of Android users would use it too. The 3X4 layout is dying.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was odd they preferred that layout!

Do yourself a favour and trial Swiftkey. Stick with it for a couple of days and you'll never go back. The Flow functionality is fantastic.

Hey all,
Was thinking of buying the HTC One from Amazon for Christmas and moving to the Tesco Mobile €10 offer.

I've been looking at amazon and the price range of the HTC one goes from €470 for silver, to €521 for black and €774 for blue!
I've noticed the cheaper silver version is also sold by "OnlineShop", which I'm guessing is an amaon user who has setup a store front account.
This all sounds incredibly dodgy.
Has anyone else had any experience ordering from Amazon. I would have preferred to order from amazon as I have a good amount amassed in vouchers to spend and I'd like to buy the phone network unlocked.

Why does it sound dodgy? You'll see a rating for the seller with feedback supplied by former customers so you can use that as your guide.

I've bought from both Amazon and from their marketplace sellers and have never had any problems with returns.

Just got an OTA software update. Still Sense 5.5 and Android 4.3 though.

Anyone got any insight as to what it's about? The description on the download page was very vague.

I haven't received anything. What network are you? Could just be a minor thing.
