I've owned my HTC 626s for about a month now I purchased it because I damaged my HTC 816 and it was all I could find fast in my area, but so far it been OK meaning no problems. Believe me it's not the phone my 816 was but it is a good phone for the price. I noticed a number of you have been experiencing freeze up problems but I haven't seen that with mine.

T-Mobile version is ugly. Why a Carousel Reddish Orangeish Pinkish accent mixed with Grey? With a Blue, Silver or Black accent, you would have had me.

AnonD-214341, 30 Jan 2016I have had the 626s for a month now. I am pleased for the m... moreI agree with your review. I also have the boost phone and only paid $86 after tax for it. I did a phone upgrade cause I had the desire 510 and after all the update and such I couldn't no longer do any updates or download apps. I feel like its a good deal for the price and I have the model with 1.5 ram and 8gb rom as well. I guess you only have the 4gb rom?

I do have problems with the phone freezing or restarting but only like once a day and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. I send a crash report but if I had to suspect it's probably has a lot to do with Google's new phone version lollipop.

I wish google would figure it out and quit doing a new release so fast.

I've had the HTC desire for 3 weeks....I have to restart it at least four times a day, if not more, just to send a text message. It is constantly saying I don't have service even though I have full bars. Worst phone I've ever owned. I will never own an HTC again.

My Fiance bought me the Htc desire, not even two full days ago. Within the past 30 minutes my phone has crashed 4 times; the last was accompanied by an ear piercing beep that lasted for a minute. It's never been dropped plus Ive only downloaded one app so far and I receive a "Memory storage full" memo. So far im not pleased with this phone at all, my little Lg net 10 phone is so much better never had one technical issue with it and that thing has been dropped several times.

I sympathize with your issue of memory. I chose to "disable" those unmovable apps to help the situation. I had to turn off the app notifications to avoid update warnings for the apps like Google Drive.

To find out which can you have to go to apps in settings and when you open one of your downloaded apps check to see if the word move is in bold print. If it is, click on it and it will ask you if you want to move the app to the sd card. If the word move is not lit up you can't move it to the sd card.

i had galaxy s6 edge and the battery drained in less then 1 hour going from that to this i am happy i love the battery on the htc and i never used many apps so the internal storage isnt a huge thing for me so i am happy with my purchese and the reason i went from the galaxy s6 edge was cuz tmobile locked the imei and i sold it to walmart for 150 and the htc wasnt the cheapeset and didnt break as easyile as the other cheap phone so good purchese in total i love the phone so phone

The only issue which is major for me having this phone is pop ups from Google store whenever I try to do anything with my phone I'm constantly having pop ups, I can be in the middle of texting, dialing out or, watching TV on my phone and bam a pop up. I never experienced this with no other brand phones except for this one, my opinion as soon as I pay thus phone off I am getting a phone that is not HTC

AnonD-505014, 21 Feb 2016I've had mine since Jan.1st... I really like the phone alot... moreIf your through at&t they will upgrade your memory storage from 16GB-32GB memory storage. SD card is only for downloading music or videos nothing else.

I've had mine since Jan.1st... I really like the phone alot. However, if I could get them to change anything it would be the battery & internal storage. The battery doesn't last very long at all & it has 8g internal storage, I have 16g SD card in it. I'm constantly running low on space, yet you can't move apps to SD card.

I've had my HTC Desire 626s (MetroPCS variant) and I have 2 big issues for me about this phone... 1 issue I feel like HTC could have EASILY fixed when making the phone...

Issue 1:
Battery... Dear god, this battery drains... I am currently a high school student, and the most I use this phone for during the day is texting/messaging through Kik Messenger... I hit 50% in 2 hours of use... I understand, this phone is considered a budget phone... but for me personally, who is an avid user of his/her phone.. This battery doesn't do it for me.

Issue 2: (The one they can fix...)
Storage. Storage concept on this phone is the DUMBEST concept ever conceived... I got the 8gb version (don't know if it varies, not looking at it right now) and I have a 16gb microSD card inside... Yet you can't put apps on the SD card... Where is the logic in have an expandable storage slot if you CAN'T FULLY UTILIZE IT? I tried looking up a way to put apps on the SD card, but I couldn't find anything... Urrrggghhhhh.... ((Side Note: this is the memory used by my phone: 7.86gb/8gb used Applications: 2.9gb Music: 47.26mb Photos & Video: 143mb Downloads: 1.80mb System & Other(I DO NOT EFFECT THIS MEMORY): 4.75gb So, basically, you buy the phone thinking the 8gbs are yours, but really u get 3.25gb to use for personal use.))

Of these 2 issues, I can handle the battery draining... But the storage? I have to CONSTANTLY delete apps to download new ones, and not even large apps. Just a few social media apps (Like SnapChat, Instagram, Twitter), messenger apps (FB Messenger, Kik, Skype) and 2 video apps (Netflix, Youtube) and my storage is full... Can't download ANYTHING on this thing. Pretty damn good budget phone, not for me.

answer1, 27 Jan 2016Change the cables. You need data cable. Google it.I don't have this particular phone but with my old HTC Desire you had to change the PC connection in settings. You need to change the default from "charge only" to "Disk Drive"
