If you break your HTC One M9, the company will replace it for free. If you like customizing your phone, the themes are a great feature. If you're not a Photoshop expert, you can create themes by uploading one of your own photos for a background image and HTC's software will automatically change the other theme colors to match. There are a bunch to choose from, and HTC lets anyone handy with Photoshop take its templates and build their own themes. This is a popular feature for phones outside the US, and it's nice to see it make its way here too.

I think most people will ignore the Yelp integration like I did.įinally, HTC added a new theme store where you can download new backgrounds and icon sets for your phone. I eat out more than I should, but not enough to get a notification for every meal. If you opt in, the app will ping you with notifications around lunch and dinner time with suggestions for nearby places to eat. The M9 also has deep integration with Yelp. (Luckily, if you don't like the feature, you can remove the launcher from the home screen and arrange your apps the old-fashioned way). It did learn most of the apps I like to use in certain locations, but it took a few days. I'd rather configure my home screen the way I want it to look, not rely on an algorithm. I found the launcher more frustrating to use than helpful. The M9's app launcher shows you apps you're most likely to use based on your location.
