HTC Fetch (BL A100)

The Fetch is a device that alerts you when you walk away from your phone. It sounded good to me since I have a habit of forgetting my phone at work or in my house. It alerts you with beeps coming from Fetch and by e-mail. This product fits the pattern I have noticed from HTC. Innovative products to compliment other HTC devices that do not work properly. I paired the Fetch to my HTC One (M8). First, I walked out of the building without my cell and the Fetch stayed silent, but about 30 minutes later is started going off even though I was a few feet from the device. I had to unpair the Fetch since it was getting annoying. HTC came out with an app that, in theory, lets people control how the Fetch behaves, but it is actually worst. When I installed it from Google Play, I noticed the Fetch would disconnect and the app would crash. I had to uninstall the app because it was also, draining my battery. In theory the Fetch, along with its app, are very good ideas that need to be tweaked. I am waiting for HTC to come up with an update to the app, that hopefully, will fix all the bugs in the device. Until then, its only getting three stars.

wow is amazing

my bro is HTC fan so got it for him , he loves it alot . but battery need frequent change

its a p.o.s. never functions properly and eats batteries

ABSOLUTLY GREAT IDEA... but thats where it ends. I dont normally write reviews but my extreme frustration and hatred of this piece of junk has compelled me to do so. When it works, its the best accessory ever made. When it doesnt (99.9% of the time) it is awful. I tried so hard to tolerate the false alarms (sometimes only 3-4 times every couple days, sometimes 10 times EACH day). This piece of junk has woke me up at night countless times. I just cant take it anymore and again, even though I really wanted to like it, I cant. It is not a range issue or a battery issue, it is just a POS issue. Until either HTC or bluetooth 4.0 (wherever the fault lies) is perfected, this fancy device will sit in my drawer. I just cant tolerate being woken up 5-10 times per night (some nights) and getting out of bed to stop the BEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP for the off chance that I MAY misplace my keys. Maybe its just me but Id rather spend a few minutes looking for my keys at the expense of being woken up multiple times per night per week. One star (only because I cant leave less).

It does exactly what it is promoted for. My only complain is for you to find your phone you need to have bluetooth on, and Im used to turn it off because of its battery consume.

Great gadget....

This product works OK, but I find it is either over- or under- sensitive. What I mean is that it rarely works the way I expect it to. It either doesnt alert me soon enough when the range limits are exceeded, or alerts me constantly even when the Fetch is in one pocket and the phone is in the other. Not a fan. I love the concept, but not the execution.

It was exactly as presented online

was a great device but the battery dies in just couple days
