HTC One Wi-Fi and Tethering blocked?
So I thought there was a lawsuit settling that they couldn't block third party apps from providing these functions, but everything I've tried brings a processing pop-up that ends with saying I have to subscribe to Mobile Hotspot or Broadband Connect. Maybe I am behind on my information or something or something has changed. Pretty sure FCC ruled against them in this and they had to pay a settlement and allow these apps to provide the fuction that the native apps require special plans or tethering plans for. Why pay twice to use the same data how I want :/
Maybe I should just return the phone within the 14-day period and search for alternate cellular providers :/
It's still a gimmick. Smallest share everything plan is 20$ more but oh they give you 4gb over the 2gb. Can't get tethering at 2gb...
Plus, the whole point is that they worked around 3rd party apps that activate this feature even after losing the court case with the FCC a year and change ago.
Verizon is getting a terrible reputation for its business practices. Network reliability isn't enough anymore as it was their only edge the last decade or so. I'm just really disappointed and conflicted on keeping them or not. All the news articles are out there about all of this stuff. Isn't hard to google it if you want proof. I'm not sure I'm allowed to link things... I've a week and a half before I'm locked into another 2 year contract to decide.

Hi.
Since upgrading to Mavericks (inc. latest update today), a perfectly harmonious environment of Entourage > Apple Calendar > Gmail > Android phone has fallen apart. I understand that this is down to Apple removing local sync services in the Mavericks 'upgrade', so I am now manually 'syncing' Entourage calendar events to Apple Calendar (Version 7.0 (1835.1)) by copying/dragging them across teh Calendar and syncing to Android via Gmail account.
Now, events in Apple Calendar are being duplicated - even if I create them in Apple Calendar.
And, when I delete one of the duplicated entries in Apple Calendar, both disappear from Google calendar and Android phone - and then the other in Apple Calendar.
This does not happen with all events, but I cannot figure out:
a) why duplicates are appearing and disappearing for some events, or;
b) what differs between the events that duplicate and those that do not.
Also 'in the mix', is a couple of third party apps that I think i should mention:
1. SyncMate - which I used successfully to sync my Android and iMac 2yrs and decided to uninstall post-Mavericks 'upgrade', and;
2. BusyCal, which I installed to trial as a fix post Mavericks 'upgrade' and uninstalled.
Both thrid party apps refuse to compeltely uninstall. I have gone through forums and trawled through Libraries to manuallly remove all residue of these apps, but they still pop up and prompt from time to time.
I mention the last bit regarding SyncMate and BusyCal, in case their residues are the cause of the Calendar duplications issue originally posted.
Can anyone please shed some light on a fix to both problems? I am dirty as all **** on Apple for the undocumented changes in the Mavericks 'upgrade' and am very close to going back to Windows (my iMac is an Intel model).
Ed.Thanks Eric.
I have pasted the Etrecheck output at the foot of this post.
Something I tested earlier that had an intersting outcome..... I created two test events; one in 'iCal' and one in Google Calendar. The latter quickly sync'd and created duplicate entries in 'iCal', but kep tto singel instacnes in Google and Android. The event created in 'iCal' did not duplicate and sync'd properly a single instance to both Googe Calendar and my Android. Neither tests created duplicates on the Android phone.

Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation
I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone. Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
However, there is one very annoying problem I am having. When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic. I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
Here are the tests I ran:
Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear. Call result, pretty muffled voice. I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone. This definatelyimproved call quality. Was louder and clearer, but not perfect. I'd rate it at 8/10.
Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic. This was a further improvement in sound quality. Rating would be 9/10.
Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole. Very low volume and muffled sound. Rating a 4/10.
Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic. This gave perfect call quality and volume. Rating a 10/10!
Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone. Call quality was really nice. Id give it 9/10.
Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7. Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand. Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7. Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
Speaker phone on, placed face down on table. Volume a bit low, a little muffled. Call quality 6/10.
Speaker phone on, place face up on table. A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled. Call quality is 5/10.
Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection. It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality. And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good. That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
Is anyone else seeing the same issues? I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!Here are some other threads that seem to be having similar issues:

HTC
One M8 (2014 Model)
HTC One_M8
Android 4.4.2 - HTC Sense 6.0 (Stock ROM)
Carrier - EE, handset is locked to the network.
Skype version 4.7.0.43514
I have found a number of issues when using Skype on the HTC One M8. If you are playing Music on the device and someone calls you, for about 2 seconds into the ring Skype will make the Music you are playing quiet whilst the Ring Tone takes the higher volume. After this 2 second period the Music will continue to play at the same volume as the Ring Tone is playing at until you either hang up or answer. If you hang up/don't answer the call and continue to play music, after around 2-5 minutes the top speaker on the HTC One will stop working. The only way to fix this is by signing out of Skype and closing the application, then signing back in. The top speaker will not work for ALL applications, so even if you stop playing Music from the applcation you were using and switch to another, the issue will still persist.
Another issue I am having, is trying to send files. Whenever I try to send a file from my device, when the reciptent accepts it my phone will still show "Waiting to accept", but it gets worse. I have only been able to send a file when clicking "Take Picture", otherwise if I try to select a local document or picture to send to a contact I get an error message saying "File must be saved on device" when it clearly is saved on the device, otherwise I would not be able to select it.
I have tried this on multiple HTC One M8 handsets, and have been able to reproduce on all.
Another minor issue, though I believe this to be releated to the background task killing in the M8 software, is that sometimes if I am logged into Skype on my phone (I have the notification enabled on constand) sometimes it will disconnect, and so all messages/calls will not be recieved until I manually open the application. Note that the status in the top left of my notification bar does not change, it shows me as logged in. But when I scroll the bar down and click on Skype to go to the application the application will flash and log me back in and then all my messages will come through at once.
I hope you are able to fix these issues ASAP.My Skype acts very weird. When in use it would allow about 10 to 15 seconds working " normal " and then it restarts bidding anything that you've been doing until then, can't text, can't call. I've tried removing it, re installed it, rebooting, nothing works. I use my Skype for work, all my customers use Skype, HTC and Skype need to fix this

Would the Unlocked Verizon HTC One M8 work with GSM Bands globally/?
If i buy a HTC One M8 phone and then pay all the installments and finally get the unlocking code. One phone is unlocked, then is is possible that CDMA Sim Card of Verizon be replaced with a SIM card of any GSM operator globally
as of last year all Verizon phones are unlocked of course if they were manufactured starting last year. the HTC one m8 is sold unlocked however it may not work on all LTE bands Verizon operates on 1700F and 700C

I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id
There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password. There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons, -
I think I had an old itunes id. When I go to Itunes on my program list all of my music comes up, there are probably a hundred or two songs. But it never let me burn them to anything other than my Ipod. I changed my password so now when I pull up my account there is no music. Can anyone tell me how to find my old account and then copy that music to my HTC One.?

Either you did or did not. Do you not remember?

Media is not burned to iDevices. Burning an iDevice would destroy it.
Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice? What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?
elkelawdog wrote:

Changed password to what?
Pull up what account?
What does this have to do with iTunes?
One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
What is the actual issue that is occurring?

iTunes has nothing to do with putting media on a non-Apple device. -
Is there a calendar app that will sync HTC one, android Samsuhg tablet and a PC?
Looking for a calendar app that will sync an HTC one M8, a Samsung android Tablet and a desktop PC? If I put an event in one it will find it in the other?
Just make sure you are selecting the gmail address as the place to create the event. Otherwise it will only be saved to the phone.
For example, my Gmail/Google calendar currently syncs between the PC/Web, android phone backup android phone and two tablets. -
The HTC One M8 is a lemon and Verizon refuses to work with us.
We are now awaiting shipment of a FOURTH HTC One M8. First purchased on release day and returned within a week per store suggestion due to roaming bug (fixed with software update later). Second phone randomly turns off, restarts, freezes and doesn't respond. Verizon made us warranty replace this one as it was just past the 14 day mark of the initial purchase (we weren't thrilled). Now the third phone exhibits same behavior as second. Was supposed to get call from Verizon support manager yesterday following up on their insisting that an app was causing it, but she never called like she assured she would. We had removed ALL downloaded apps and still had phone turn off randomly. Verizon now refuses to do anything but send us a reconditioned phone as another replacement. This is the first and last HTC device we will ever try and most likely will begin looking for another carrier as Verizon clearly doesn't care about solving it's customers problems. If they expect me to pay full price for a reconditioned phone they're a joke. I'm awaiting a phone call from someone in management within 24-48 hours to discuss this all further.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this garbage phone!"You have a warranty which states replaced with certified like new and not brand new."
This would be understandable and acceptable if it was for the fact that since day 1 we've been given broken phones.I refuse to pay full price for something that has been broken since the start.
I've spoken with HTC and received the "this issue hasn't been reported" statement and it pretty much went nowhere. One option was to send the device to HTC and wait for them to figure it out and send it back, but with no backup phone (turned in for credits) to use and my wife using this for work that's not a viable option. -

HTC One Stock Browser - address bar and Flash player issues
Couple of issues here -- please let me know if I'm missing something obvious. First of all, since the HTC One only has the Home and Back buttons, I count on the application to know when to open a Settings screen or even an address bar. Point that browser at YoutTube or Google+ and tell me how you get back to the address bar. I've found that hitting Back may bring up the address bar, but you'd better be quick about it.
Second, the Flash player doesn't seem to work with some sites. I can play a YouTube video with the stock browser, but it won't play an NPR sound clip. Thoughts? Ideas? What obvious thing am I missing?First, Flash Player isn't supported anymore. If you have it installed through sideloading, it isn't guaranteed to work all the time.
As for the stock browser, have you tried scrolling to the top of the website to get the address bar to show. I don't have any other ideas since I purposely disabled the stock browser and use Chrome instead. Perhaps you should consider the same.
