![]() Here's hoping that HTC will eventually add a vocal suppressing feature to satisfy the karaoke freak inside you.Ĭontinuing the multimedia theme we have the Sense TV app on the HTC One, which is actually a Peel-powered universal remote software that combines a good-looking electronic program guide with the IR blaster embedded within the phone's power button. Likewise, the new music player has received an interface redesign, as well as a visualizer and automatic lyrics scroller. Visually, Sense 5 benefits from a new choice of font - Roboto, in a specific weight - along with a simpler keyboard with little gap between keys (but performance unaffected, of course) and cleaner widgets (though the classic HTC flip clock widget is still available). The good news is that should you eventually find this feature slightly stale, you can disable BlinkFeed altogether and just have the plain old Android home screens. Either way, HTC's conducted many tests and is pretty confident that battery life won't be a big issue here. As you'd expect, fresh content automatically comes in from the top, and it does so every two hours over mobile data, but more frequently over WiFi. On a related note, an SDK will be provided for developers to let their apps publish to the BlinkFeed. Regardless, the feed can be customized to suit your needs, though the first version won't let you add custom RSS feeds just yet. You won't be seeing emails here, as HTC positions BlinkFeed as a place for more ambient info rather than critical updates. Created in collaboration with Mobiles Republic, this tool pulls in content from various publications and social networks (Twitter, Plurk, LinkedIn, Flickr, Zoe Share and more), as well as your calendar and TV shows from the TV app (more on that later). ![]() This is simply a Flipboard-like tile interface that sits permanently on the main home page.
