How to Root the HTC 10 (Video)

To the best of my knowledge, the HTC 10 is the only phone that remains under warranty even if its bootloader is unlocked. That means, you can go ahead and unlock the bootloader and do whatever you want on your phone – as long as you aren’t damaging it – and it’ll still remain covered by the warranty. It’s the flagship phone of the year by the Taiwan based company that’s been releasing some really nice

What it Really Takes to Setup the HTC Vive (Video)

Excited after the arrival of my long-awaited HTC Vive, I was anxious to set it up. The intro video on how seemed easy enough, so I figured I’d carve out a couple of hours and get it done. I have a desktop computer I built years ago laying around and figured I’d give that a go and just upgrade whatever components needed upgrading to get it to the minimum requirement for running VR and do

How to Root the HTC Incredible S

HTC’s Incredible S was released quite a while ago. Back then it came with then-latest version of Android called Froyo running on-board and while it’s been several years since the phone was announced, it’s still owned by many people around the world. The phone eventually got various software updates namely Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich, but that’s where it stopped. The latest update it received is now considered to be obsolete as we’ve had quite a few

Android N on Nexus

How to Get the Android N on a Nexus (Using Android Beta) (Video)

Google surprised everyone this week and, instead of announcing their new Android verison developer preview at their developer I/O conference (in May), they randomly announced it. Android N as it is being called (Nougat maybe when it’s final?) seems to most a small bump up from Android Marshmallow, 6.1 maybe instead of a full 7.0. With new notification actions and look, new settings menu with more info, and a few other slight overhauls, it’s still

HTC One A9 Outed By Orange France, High-Res Photos and Specs In Tow

Well so much for secrecy. The new, soon to be announced, HTC One A9 has been accidentally leaked by the French carrier Orange. On top of the below high resolution images, there seems to also be a (very high and hopefully incorrect) price tag of €599.90. A price fit for a top level smartphone maybe, but according to the also leaked specs, that’s not what this is. Specs: 1080P 5″ display 13MP rear camera and 5MP

How to Optimize Your Speakers on HTC One M9 w/ BoomSound

Bob Dylan called it, you guys: the times they are a-changin. Increasingly, more people are sharing and listening to music and video via their phones’ – often craptastic – built-in speakers. For this reason, the music industry is placing a higher emphasis on song mixes tailored specifically for smartphone playback. Yet even with Taylor Swift’s diminutive dynamic range, there still persists a series of reasonably understandable limitations inherent to a pocket sized speaker that will almost undoubtedly leave the listener wanting something more out of

Getting the Most from Motion Launch on HTC One M9

It doesn’t take a mid-life crisis to find yourself stuck in a rut. When life loses its sheen, you gotta shake up the humdrum and add some glitter to that old-hat, right? For example, the late (admittedly not-so-great) John DeLorean was sick of opening car doors the old fashioned way, so what did he do? Two words: gullwing doors. Let’s be a tad more modest and look instead at the HTC One M9 and it’s Motion Launch functionality. Motion Launch is
