I'm planning to upgrade from SIII to HTC 10. My primary reservation is that the sales appear to be weak (judging strictly from the amount of reviews on Sprint/Amazon/Verison/T-Mobile), I'm concerned that HTC and/or Sprint might not support the device for 2-3 years down the road. Is this something I should worry about? Thx!

In terms of updates I wouldn't worry. The biggest issue with the lack of sales seems to be sheer lack of production in general on HTC's part. This phone proved extremely hard to find at launch with no stores in the area even having received them and to this day I don't even know if any store has them.

And I hate to say it, but now I am getting intrigued by the HTC 10.   I already have the HTC One M7, Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, and 2015 Moto X at my perusal -- the latter three all are SIM unlocked and can

One thing I've noticed is the 10 uses a crap ton of battery when Bluetooth is on. Whether it's paired with my JBL pros or not, Bluetooth battery use is one of the top users up until of course I really get into using phone.

Anyone having an issue with links in Gmail opening with the setup wizard browser instead of Chrome?

No. Try clearing cache and force stop the app and try again

I really don't see that much more battery use when I connect my earphones on bluetooth.

 

Snapchat kills my battery.

I'll have to get a screen shot next time I think of it just to compare. Just weird cause my m8 didn't even have Bluetooth anywhere near top of the list.

Over the past few days I've noticed increased battery life because of bluetooth, but it wasn't when i was streaming anything via bluetooth. I would always leave BT on because it would automatically connect to my car, but most of the day it would sit as idle. I normally never had issues with this, but then a few days ago I noticed that on my battery history screen, "Awake" had a solid green line going across the entire screen, and I spent at least an hour trying to figure out what was causing it. And turning off bluetooth for some reason fixed the issue. I think it was because over memorial day weekend, I went to visit my cousin in Ohio and she had me pair my phone to her car via bluetooth and after that point my phone kept trying to scan and connect to her car. I removed her car from my paired devices list, and now I'm going through the process of leaving bluetooth on all day to see if that's still affecting my wake locks.

Is the actual battery draining faster or is bluetooth just on the top of the list of most used battery?

I honestly feel it's draining faster when bt is on.

Yeah I have a major wake lock also. The phone awake bar is typically solid or nearly solid green. Along with wifi, even with it off and unchecked for scanning.

I'm assuming you went into roaming settings and made sure data was checked?

I haven't had an issue with that, when you are within wifi coverage try a profile update in the system updates menu.

 

I have noticed if you are roaming in an area without evdo roaming it can be extremely difficult to get a stable data connection, probably because of how much data smart phones send and receive.

Sorry, I should have been more clear on what I was looking for. I was trying to see what signal level and band your phone was seeing... Its possible where ever your at has evdo roaming in a higher band or it doesn't allow evdo roaming at all. If your on a sprint signal on 1x in band 10 its very possible you can't recieve evdo in the PCS band where your at.

I think it was briefly mentioned earlier. Go into cellular network settings and make sure data roaming is on. Most devices are off by default. Recently went on a cruise and got a text from sprint saying roaming was included but couldn't get data to work. Had to switch data roaming to on... Just a suggestion as I don't have the HTC 10.

 

Edit: I'm referencing through android settings, not through the dialer.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
