The HTC One (M8) is a very expensive handset but it currently represents the best that Android has to offer right now. It’s predecessor was hailed as the best smartphone of last year and HTC has not disappointed amidst all the hype. In this article we will show you how you can make the most of your superphone from HTC.
Customize BlinkFeed
BlinkFeed gets content from the web and from your social network profiles. The idea behind this feature is to give you a glimpse of what is happening in your world without really having to open your Facebook or your Twitter. HTC now lets you customize your BlinkFeed which means you can change the way the feed looks and make it more suited to your tastes. In order to do this, you have to go to settings > personalize > theme and here you will find the different themes to choose from. This will alter the look and feel of BlinkFeed as well as the top navigation bar in the Sense UX.
Hide bloatware
Handsets ship with some apps that are really not necessary and this rings true for the HTC One (M8) as well. HTC has noticed that this may be annoying to users and has added an option to hide this bloatware within Sense 6. In order to do this, all you have to do is simply go to the applications menu, and isolate the applications you do not want to see or use from view. You can then select the option to hide or unhide from there. This doesn’t remove the application but just hides it from your view.
Answer calls from lockscreen
Your new HTC device let’s you answer calls from the lockscreen. In order to do this, when a call comes in you simply swipe downwards. This will answer the call without you having to leave the lockscreen. The feature can be turned off by simply going to settings > call > auto answer call. It is that simple.
Use your M8 as your remote
Like the previous iteration of the phone, the M8 also has an infrared blaster. This means that you have the option of using the phone as a remote for your HDTV. In order to do this, you will need to go to the HTC TV app on your phone. Follow the instructions there but just before you begin, make sure that your TV is turned on. The process takes about 5 mins but once its done, you can finally dispose of your previous remote in favour of your trusty HTC One (M8).
Make folders within the icon tray
If you would like more room in the icon tray you can simply create folders there so that you can access more apps from there. To do this, simply create a folder and then give it a name. Drag the applications you want there and then simply store this folder in the icon tray by dragging it there. This way you can have an uncluttered view of your wallpaper.
Remove BlinkFeed
If you don’t like BlinkFeed we can show you how to disable it. When you’re on the home screen, pinch your fingers together. This will open up the widget and homescreen manager and from here you can drag BlinkFeed up to the right and remove it.
