[@jspring86]

The text list can be found in this Google Doc: docs.google.com/document/d/1yJlFIcr151fvBJ0wTKygqLIE82AJCjYnPkQ3BBzbgi8/edit?usp=sharing Download the Alexa APK if you have the US model and want it now: bit.ly/2s78yvQ

[@momotsukino6441]

Jeff Springer Is there a place to download the stock standard photo gallery and music player that htc have on their other phones like the m7? I just upgraded to u11 and I do not like the google apps. Help. Thanks

[@yasscaprio8747]

Watched this on my new amazing silver 6gb ram with u sonic ear buds..love HTC 😍

[@jspring86]

+Yass caprio nice!

[@onetwentyfour]

I've never needed to double register a finger to a scanner. I would instead recommend the pinky finger. This will come in handy every time you're eating or have dirty hands (normally your pinky manages to dodge the grime)

[@jspring86]

mosincredible you don't necessarily need to register your finger twice, however it does increase accuracy as the scanner will acquire more data from two scans as oppose to a single one.

Just ordered the solar red. can't wait. Coming from OP3 w/6GB of ram so I hope this phone excels at ran management with it's 4GB. If not then I'll get an OP5.

[@jspring86]

+anthonydotb the ram management is fine. I had the 3T for a long time this phone is no less capable of multitasking.

[@frankylaukafai]

I got mine Solar Red with 6GB Ram 128GB Storage, it runs so smooth

[@DreamhopMusic]

[@rezarizer814]

thanx jeff u always been a great help

[@jspring86]

+reza rizer glad it was helpful!

[@billfowler8627]

I get my u11 tomorrow. Can't wait it's my first htc phone

[@jspring86]

+Bill Fowler congrats!

[@faridamin2410]

Bill Fowler ever since I got my htc u11 2 weeks ago I'm in love with the first gadget in my life

[@Kman.]

So, it's been 2+ years since you noted you were going to get the *HTC* ...did you go thru with it? If you traded it out, what do you have now, and if you've still got it, what's your thoughts, both good and bad.

[@rezarizer814]

great video again jeff! jeff i have a s8 plus do u think i should go to htc u 11 from s8 what do u think? i am hardcore phone user n i am really like what i am seeing in htc u 11

[@Heisenberg_SC]

reza rizer absolutely not.

[@Heisenberg_SC]

M Morales He asked a question so I gave an answer. Take that chapped ass bullshit elsewhere kid.

[@Heisenberg_SC]

M Morales I'll let you stick to the subjective comprehensive evaluations as if they carry some weight or validity. This is a KZbin comments section not a dissertation. Get fucked.

[@Heisenberg_SC]

M Morales Word.

[@trilingualkid]

lol M Morales is being sarcastic, he just called you a classless idiot and you dont even know it.

[@jejunamja]

Useful... thanks for doing.

[@jspring86]

thanks for checking it out, much appreciated!

[@chevymac2688]

hi Jeff, great video thanks for the guide and info; and how to prepare or manage your new phone. I guess my concern before I purchase the new HTC U11 is .. are you able to surf and talk at the same time? I'm used to this ability with my current HTC and I'm hoping this is still a capability for this current model. Thanx!

[@pradeepdatwani1232]

Hi great videos btw and can you advise what is the most subtle colour as I personally don't want something too shiny although i am a die hard HTC fan and kind of wished that they had at least 1 MATT OPTION like my old HTC M8....shall i go for the BLACK or the BLUE which is the most subtle and thanks so much for all your inputs peeps?! ;-)

[@jspring86]

+Pradeep Datwani I think black is most subtle for sure on this phone.

[@Altema22]

Thanks for the video Jeff! I've always disabled News Republic, mostly because I'm mad that HTC killed the original in-house BlinkFeed, but also because I don't like NR on it's own, lol. Just got my U11 last night and have been loving it. A couple steps I do when I disable an app I can't delete, is uninstall updates before I disable it, then tap on "Storage" and clear it after I disable the app. Thanks again for the video.

[@jspring86]

+Altema22 thank you! Yeah I'm not huge on news republic either

[@josephkigar3271]

which app on u11 do i use to build a resume??

[@vx-rob-xv9808]

Hi,on some notifications my alert tone is gunfire which is quite annoying and loud,i cant find anywhere to change this ,any ideas ?

[@ItzReece]

Great video 😀

[@shazadirani]

Excellent video Jeff. I noticed there's no default music player app. Could you suggest a good one. Thanks

[@rodolfomaldonadojr.3810]

Shazad Irani I use Google play music. I have mp3 files on my HTC u11. And u jus click downloads only and there they are

[@lalubko]

BlackPlayer

[@darkokutlesa2386]

Is it possible to make screen resolution 1080p?

[@sube3970]

how do you set up the 'trace keyboard' function...

[@matthewwright4153]

When you put the SD card in can you set it to save automatic to the SD card and not to the phone?

[@sams8089]

Awesome vid! I wish more brands implement Alexa along with GA in their phones and also allow us to make it default.

[@jspring86]

+itz me me big boy yeah that would be awesome hopefully more OEMs do it!

[@hesamafsari1617]

great video . tnx

[@jspring86]

+Hesam Afsari thanks glad you enjoyed it!

[@realmusic99]

Everytime he says Alexa my phone goes nuts

[@samuelschuweiler579]

Jeff, I can't figure out where to get the Amazon app for Alexa?

[@jspring86]

the APK for Alexa is linked in the description. You have to side load it right now as it's not officially supported for US models.

[@guitarado]

I´ve just broke the glass today. It fell on a iron threshold... 0,5 year mobile...its a pity . I am desperate

[@rezarizer814]

so should i stick wit my s8plus?

[@jspring86]

I think if you like the S8+, there is not much of a reason to switch to U11. Camera is almost equal, S8+ actually has a much faster shutter speed.

[@jspring86]

+Richard W yeah I'm super biased. And you're pissing me off so enjoy this ban from my comments and enjoy your day!

[@noname89325]

I can't find Alexa on my phone altough it says it's installed in the playstore?

[@haseenanawaz3447]

where is gallery app in Htc u11 life?

[@mr.chiefloafer3662]

Download and install from browser

[@harshaksathik4586]

I decide to take htc u play and heard that u play have biometric voice unlock pls upload a video for that

[@adaky2004]

Personally,I prefer the wallpapers from the Tapet app.Thanks for the video.

[@atl3630]

I don't have any News Republic notifications or anything like that on my u11. I've got the Verizon edition, if that makes any difference. HTC must have forgot it.

[@jspring86]

+atl3630 I'd be happy if that happened to me!

[@Maxrc77]

Does HTC u11 have a dark theme

[@noname89325]

can't delete news republic?

[@jgambler1188]

Can't get over how good my battery life has been with the u11

[@kkglocknine2968]

Jason Gamblore are you sure???

[@jgambler1188]

KK Glock Nine yes, I'm a phone junkie. I've hit better screen on time with the u11 than any other device. Great phone.

[@kkglocknine2968]

Jason Gamblore if you watch this video his phone loses 3% in 10mins, there I.S another review (flossy carter) where he says he charges mid day and battery life is not good. I’m not sure why there are so many contradictory results with the battery. I’m looking to change my iPhone 7 due to poor battery and really can’t decide

[@jgambler1188]

KK Glock Nine always lots of factors. I'm also using the 6 gigs of RAM version. Maybe that's the factor here. I've also seen videos the corroborate what I'm saying. KZbin reviews can be bias, have crappy reception etc etc.. but yeah I agree, that looks concerning, but I've had the complete opposite experience. Cheers

[@kkglocknine2968]

Jason Gamblore appreciate the feedback mate, edging towards the U11

[@erikdaddo9083]

love htc u 11 ☆♡

[@jspring86]

+erik daddo yeah it's great!

[@Kuunal5]

Not convinced with disabling news Republic n specifically boost plus which is a great n must have app for the phone. In fact u should also give boost plus a try. It optimises n speeds up the phone, u have an opinion to lock specific apps thro fingerprint, clears the junk, boosts the memory, u also have an option to reduce the resolution of games and apps from 2k to full HD n many small things it does.Give it a try.

[@jspring86]

+Kunal Tiku News Republic is awful and very invasive/spammy the way it is implemented by HTC. I don't want news forced on my lock screen out of the box...bad business. Boost+ is not for me, I've tried it but I can manage my phone through my own tools, I'm sure it's great for some inexperienced users that don't have preferences on how to manage certain aspects of their phone.

[@jspring86]

+Richard W I'm glad you like it, but I've spent enough time with it to know it's not for me.

[@Kuunal5]

Jeff Springer well I don't wanna comment on the inexperienced thing that u were mentioning in the paragraph but I surely have one thing to tell u which may be of use to u....self praise is destructive.

[@abdulrahmanodeh5930]

How can u reduce the resolution from 2k to FHD ?

[@dougmac8904]

Only thing I don't like is I can use head phones or connect head phone jack to mixer board while charging.

[@Nova-XL]

Damn it Nicole! Dad's working :D

[@jspring86]

+Aizaz Mazhar lol that's my wife, luckily she doesn't watch my videos in too much detail!

[@Nova-XL]

Jeff Springer Hahaha Close Enough :D She should, they're good ;)

[@rezarizer814]

cuz i am worried about the long term of use

[@jspring86]

in terms of software updates or what?

[@skafy1999]

boot+ is a must but the rest was convincing...

[@ericdado5915]

Love HTC u 11😊😊😊😊

[@kamalsy5856]

Ty

[@Kman.]

Obviously a video that is laden with opinion, just as the phone is chalked full of bloatware.

[@billfowler8627]

Backdrops has some weird tacky wallpapers imo

[@jspring86]

+Bill Fowler well in my opinion they have some beautiful, excellent wallpapers.

[@mohammedshaibazhussain8684]

Jeff Springer bro can you share d links for wallapaper?

[@2001kelvinwhite]

Phenomenal review

[@jspring86]

+Kelvin White thanks much appreciated!

[@khairiblogger9848]

First thing i do : update to android 9 Pie

[@faridamin2410]

The last best phone in the world.

[@DormantIdeasNIQ]

bang bang bang bannnnnnnnnnng! done! one video to keep URL handy... now... fi you add a shortcut list in the description, so one can find a particular 'thing' directly you would be da bomb... bomb bomb bomb boMMMMMMMMMMMb! Done!

[@animals-xd3hl]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@jspring86]

+meysam ramezani thanks!

[@reubencase6789]

Oh my god its Jeff Beck

[@RipYaHeadOff]

Can you make themes like on the HTC 10 ?

[@Kman.]

Yes. I think it's pretty much standard with an *HTC* regardless which model you own.
