Weekly poll results: We love the Galaxy S6 edge





It's all about those curves.


It's obvious — readers at AC (that means you and me) want the Galaxy S6 edge. At least those who answered the poll, anyway.


We asked you last week which Galaxy S 6 — the "proper" GS6 version or the edge — you had your eye and your wallet pointed at. While some were undecided, some are going all-out and getting both, and (obviously) some wanted no parts of either one, the top answer was the Galaxy S6 edge.


I get it. The edge is the one I would be getting if it were time for me to be buying a new phone. Phil picked one up because it feels good while you're holding it. It's got that "cool factor" we haven't seen in a while, and it looks absolutely fabulous. Some say it uses more battery than the proper S6. Some say it will take longer to get updated when that time rolls around. While these things may or may not be true, the look and feel in the hands override all that for about 40-percent of us.

Where's the Flashlight app on the HTC One M9?




One of the most-used applications on any smartphone isn't where it used to be. But, yes, the flashlight lives.



If you've noticed something missing from the app drawer on the new HTC One M9 thus far, you're not alone. And it's one of those apps that you might well not see is missing until you absolutely need it. So where's the M9 flashlight?




















How to set up the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge





The Galaxy S6 has a pretty extensive setup process, but it accomplishes a lot the first time you turn your phone on.


While it sure would be nice for every phone to have the same exact setup process when you first turn it on, that just isn't the case. Even within manufacturers, new versions of software usually bring a new setup process, and while they may be familiar they aren't always the same. The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge guide you through the process pretty smoothly and get a lot done in just a few steps — let us walk you through it.
