HTC 11 could already be shown on 20 March

The new HTC 11 could already be presented on 20 March. On Twitter the manufacturer has at least a cryptic announcement with the words "Sping is coming" published.

LG has presented its new flagship G6 at the end of February at the MWC 2017, Huawei also - and Samsung follows with the Galaxy S8 on 29 March. Now only HTC is missing, whose new flagship for 2017 is still waiting. This could change however already on Monday, because for this date the manufacturer has announced at Facebook a special surprise event.

The spring is coming - and with it a new HTC smartphone

To what exactly the event will turn, is so far unclear. However, it might be the idea of ​​the new smartphone flagship HTC 11, the successor to last year's HTC 10. More details, however, the Taiwanese manufacturer does not reveal. On the announcement is only the saying "Spring is coming", which is perhaps a modification of the saying "Winter is coming" from the HBO series "Game of Thrones" should be.

It is unclear whether the HTC 11 will carry this name. It was not until January of this year that there were rumors that the new model could bear a different name. That was, however, before the manufacturer had surprisingly announced the new smartphones HTC U Ultra and HTC U Play. However, it is conceivable that the new HTC smartphone, which is announced on Monday, has the so-called sense touch function, which was already announced in January in a promo video.

HTC U Play: To insert the SIM card

Like any smartphone, the HTC U Play is also perfect for telephoning, for online services like e-mail retrieval and mobile surfing. In order for these features to work on the go, a SIM card is required, which allows access to the mobile network of your provider. We will show you how to insert the small card, how to insert a second SIM card and what to consider.

Like the vast majority of other smartphones from 2017, the HTC U Play requires a SIM card in nano format. You will receive the small card of the size of a fingernail from your mobile phone provider, where you should also report if you still have a card, but it has the wrong format. Do not try to cut the card with a pair of scissors: If the size of the SIM is only slightly reduced afterwards, this can damage the insert or lead to a connection break later.

Open and insert

The HTC U Play offers in some versions and regions the possibility to use two SIM cards at the same time. This can be especially worthwhile if you want to switch regularly between the mobile networks of several providers, because you are traveling a lot. If your HTC U Play supports the dual SIM function, however, you must decide whether you want to insert a second card of this type, or a microSD card for memory expansion, next to your first SIM.

To open the slot in which the cards are inserted, use the supplied tool. This is a small plate with a thin pin protruding from it. The latter has to be pressed slightly into the tiny hole, which is at the upper end of your HTC U Play slightly to the left of the middle axis when you see on the screen from above. Instead of the tool, you can also use a clipped office clip.

If you have done this, the sled for the SIM or memory card should have come a little way out of the HTC U Play. Pull it out completely to fill it better. Now place your first SIM card with the gold contacts down into the slide and into the smaller slot, which will later be located further back in the device. The second SIM or the memory card comes into the larger compartment and again with the contacts down. Then you can carefully slide the sled into the HTC U Play until it snaps into place.

Summary:

• The HTC U Play supports the use of two SIM cards in some variants and regions
• If you want to use the dual SIM feature, you do not have to use a memory extension using a microSD card because the second SIM and the memory card are inserted into the same slot
• To get the SIM and memory card sled from the HTC U Ultra, press the tip of the supplied tool into the small opening at the top of the smartphone, slightly to the left of the center
• The carriage jumps out slightly, so you can pull it out of the unit
• The first SIM card with the gold contacts down into the field of the sled, which is later in the interior of the device
• An optional second SIM card (for some variants of the smartphone) or a microSD memory card can be inserted into the second field of the sled
• Then slide the sled with the cards back into the HTC U Play, until it locks into place
• Be careful in doing so, and make sure that the carriage is aligned correctly

HTC U Ultra: SIM-Karte richtig einlegen

The HTC U Ultra unfolds its capabilities only when the SIM card is inserted. As with all other smartphones, you will not have important features such as surfing the Internet without WLAN, telephoning or sending messages. As you use the SIM, we explain to you in this guide.

The right size

First, you should remember that there are SIM cards in different sizes. If you have not bought a new smartphone for a long time, your SIM card could still be in the wrong format. A nano SIM card is needed, which is the smallest available size. So if you have a card in micro or mini format, it will not fit into your HTC U Ultra.

You can request a nano-SIM card from your wireless service provider. Within a few days the new card will be sent to you by post. It is then in a kind of plastic stencil, which is also the case when the HTC U Ultra is your first smartphone and you get a new SIM card. From this template, you can now break the right size. This works without effort. The small nano-format you recognize, that almost only the golden chip remains left and around is hardly plastic to be found.

Insert the SIM card

On the HTC U Ultra, the slot for the SIM card is located on the upper right side of the display. You recognize this at a small hole. In the packaging of your smartphone, you will find a narrow tool with which you can now open the slot. Insert the pointed end into the opening and exert some pressure. The sled should then jump out. If you can not find the tool, you can also use the wire of an office clip.

Insert the SIM card into the smaller one of the two slots. Because of the shape of your card, it fits into the device exactly in a way. So you can not do anything wrong here. Then put the sled back into the HTC U Ultra, push it gently back into the device and press with little force against the cover, so that it snaps into place.

Start enable

Then you can use the smartphone. Turns on the device and waits until it is started. You will then be prompted to enter your PIN. This was sent to you with your SIM card. Once you enter the number correctly, the HTC U Ultra connects to the mobile network. Only a few steps follow, then the device is set up. If you can not establish a connection despite reception, the SIM card may not yet be enabled. This usually happens by itself. Otherwise, you must contact your mobile phone provider. Have fun with your new HTC smartphone.

Summary:

Only the SIM format "Nano" fits into the HTC U Ultra
The SIM card slot is located on the right side of the smartphone from the display
Press gently into the opening with the supplied tool so that the carriage juts out a little bit
Insert the SIM card into the smaller slot of the carriage - the card fits correctly into the carriage only in one way
Carefully insert the sled into the smartphone until it clicks into place
Take your HTC U Ultra into operation
Enter your PIN code, which you received together with the SIM card
If the device does not connect to the mobile network despite reception, you should contact your mobile phone provider. The map may not yet be available

Quick Charge 3.0 versus USB Type-C

It recognized apparently an incompatible charger, stopping the charging process.

Load HTC 10 LG G5 only through the cable
That the HTC model - and probably also the LG G5 - are better loaded with their supplied charging cables and adapters, is, according to Google engineer Benson Leung on fast charging standard, the support both models.
