Whack, I ordered it through Wirefly friends and family for $139 but it's expected to ship on the 20th. With 2-3 day and the holidays coming up, god knows when it will arrive.

At least I get my Nexus 4 16GB tomorrow to play around with. I'll compare both devices to my current phone (International Note 2 GT-N7100) to see which one I will keep as my main device. I'm thinking it might be my Note 2 though, it's just too good to give up..

All 3 devices will be on 3 different networks, LOL. Nexus 4 will be on T-Mobile, my Note 2 is on AT&T and the DNA well of course on Verizon.
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
I ordered through wirefly as well, did overnight shipping though. It no longer says pre-order on their website so they might be shipping mine out tomorrow(wishful thinking) or day after.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
Will FedEx leave it at the door or does someone have to sign for it?

That's always a crap shoot.
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
It's Indirect Signature, so if you leave a signed note on your door, they will leave it. Works every time for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
Thanks!

I forgot about that option!

Nothing worse to come home and find a notice from FedEx that they missed you and will try again later!:good:
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
If you'd like the easy way out use this.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
Just printed it.

Saved it for the next time, as well!

Very helpful! Thank you!

Dan
[HTC Droid DNA] impala454:
Thanks a lot for that zep, great idea. Sometimes they'll leave it with the apartment office, but that's hit or miss, and then my apartment office will be closed Wed-Fri so I'd hate for it to get stuck there! My shipping currently says by 7:00pm on the 21st.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
Yes, my tracking gives the exact same time and date.

However, FedEx does not ship and deliver per UPS and their deliveries have been known to come way ahead of the tracking info.

It is never to early to leave that notice. Better safe then sorry.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
I'm debating ordering online, I really want the phone tomorrow but it doesn't look like Verizon lets you do overnight delivery, so it may be quicker for me to pick it up Wednesday.
[HTC Droid DNA] Thrillhouse847:
Wow, I never knew that. That's a great piece of info. I guess I don't have to skip class Wednesday after all.:good:
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
This may be off the point (and correct me if I'm wrong) but when I bought this phone online I was given a $30.00 discount for upgrading after my two year contract had expired.

However, I still paid a $30.00 "upgrade fee" at checkout. So I paid $199.00 total: before sales tax.

If you purchase this device at the store will you get that $30.00 discount....off of the $199.00 fee?

Or will you have to pay the $199.00 plus the $30.00 upgrade fee for a total of $229.00?
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
I ended up getting 50 dollars off for upgrading while signing a new contract... so it would have been 150, but there's a 30 dollar upgrade fee plus tax, came out to 191. Not bad considering I'm selling my Rezound for 200! ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] dmbfan13:
Anyone know if Best Buy is going to offer this phone? I will be buying this off contract, so it really doesnt matter who I buy it from, just curious.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
Which of course asks the question why $30.00 for me and $50.00 for you? And nothing for my son.

I know it's a simple answer I just don't know what it is.
[HTC Droid DNA] Sleepy!:
As soon as you get it, UNBOXING VIDEO!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Scott:
Thanks for this! I did not know such a thing existed. Otherwise I would be waiting until Friday!

You rock!
[HTC Droid DNA] Despyse:
Looks like I'll be getting mine today!!!! Never been more excited lol. Its about 10 mins from my house now. Good thing I didn't pay extra for next day lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] suzook:
So should we expect a clean version after you unbox it? Lol...actually can we flash custom ROMs with s on? My first HTC, so im confused.
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
As a dev you rock way more than I will here. Glad I could help. :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] jbh00jh:
Mine will be here tomorrow( 21st) . Can'wait to get that sucker charged up and so I can play with it and root it.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
No update on mine on Fedex website since yesterday morning. Says it's still in Memphis!! :(
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
I would be very curious to learn that Verizon is shipping this so that some consumers will get it before the store release date: which I thought was the 21st.

I would love to hear that some people are receiving this today (before the release).
[HTC Droid DNA] two_cents:
Mine is on the truck for delivery right now! It went from PA to nj in a flash and went out on the truck
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
Mine says this too!!! They need to update their sh*t asap! I mean I am EXPECTING the phone tomorrow but GOD would it be lovely to have it today <3
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
You're lucky. They are intentionally holding mine, which is a first. "Package not due for delivery"
[HTC Droid DNA] impala454:
Same here, no updates since 11/19 4:28 AM, still shows Memphis (though I'm guessing that's incorrect). It's weird because here's the series of events:

11/18 1:12 pm Picked up

11/18 9:40 pm Arrived at FedEx

11/18 11:19 pm In Transit

11/19 1:05 am In Transit

11/19 4:28 am Shipment info sent to FedEx

Say what? All that "in transit" and then shipment info sent? Strange.
[HTC Droid DNA] two_cents:
Looks like I might be one of the only lucky one today
[HTC Droid DNA] Shangri:
Same here! Left "Egg Harbor, NJ" at 8:38am this morning "On Fedex vehicle for delivery".. Didn't think it would make it since it was still in Linwood, PA as of 4:10am.
[HTC Droid DNA] the_passenger:
And mine hasn't even been processed yet, wth? I ordered on Sat.
[HTC Droid DNA] smoothsl:
I'm green.. Been tracking mine to VA, and it has taken a trip north from PA and sitting there in NJ..

Shows delivery of tomorrow by 7p.. Originally that was by 4:30p.. Hope it gets here with the usual fedex shipments..

Because noone will be at the office Thursday or Friday.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
That's why I'm always hesitant about pre-ordering online, on one hand you may get it a day early, but there also may be an issue which causes it to be days late.
[HTC Droid DNA] psychologyok:
Same. Haven't received an update since yesterday morning at 6:07am
[HTC Droid DNA] anthfett:
If it's 2 day shipping you probably won't get it until tomorrow. FedEx, at least in my area, hold their next day packages at the station now instead of delivering them like they used to. Except today... They brought out most of their Wednesday packages m
[HTC Droid DNA] Thrillhouse847:
Mine has also just been moving from facility to facility in Memphis for over 24 hours. I definitely didn't expect it today but if they had just put it on a truck to Chicago within the first 12 or so hours I might have gotten lucky and received it today...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Droid DNA] jbh00jh:
Got a longtime friend who works in VZW corporate sales and he said Fed EX is not supossed to deliver before 11/21/2012. Of course mistakes happen.
[HTC Droid DNA] mfractal:
Whoever gets it, please check its unlocked to other carriers.
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
LOL wirefly just screwed everyone over, I am about to cancel my order if it doesn't ship today and picking it up from corporate store tomorrow. Promising to ship by nov 20th and now it says ship when available. Never pre ordering from them again, at least amazon doesn't bull **** a customer when they dont have stock and will tell you 2-3 weeks ship time.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
If you don't think that Verizon has an agreement with FedEx and other ground carriers that shipments are not to arrive at their destinations until a specific date.....then you are not familiar with contract agreements between major corporations.

The release date for this product is November 21, 2012.

Not before!

Still....I would love to be wrong!
[HTC Droid DNA] impala454:
BAH, dangit. So yeah mine updated finally and it's been sitting in Memphis all this time. So no love today for sure:

11/20/2012 2:38 PM Departed FedEx Location (Memphis, TN)
[HTC Droid DNA] senfoo:
mine says:

Ship (P/U) date :

Tues 11/20/2012 11:00 am

COATESVILLE, PAUS

Estimated delivery : Fri 11/23/2012 7:00 pm

patience is virtue... i guess. lol

[HTC Droid DNA] ocman40:
You can call your local office. Sounds like ur the only one today.
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
Well FedEx finally updated the status of my shipment, left the FedEx facility in Memphis at 4:30pm >_< My estimate says 7pm tomorrow... I hope it really doesn't come that late in the day...
[HTC Droid DNA] two_cents:

In my home town hopefully it doesn't really take till seven tomorrow fuqers
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
Fedex says mine is at least in the City...
[HTC Droid DNA] busixb:
Mine just arrived in town local FedEx facility I should have around Noon. Got my black Sili case for it too. I like that they designed the silicone cases this way as apposed to regular flat color. Also concerned that I haven't come across a case with a rear notification provision. I may be using a hole puncher for this lol we'll see.
[HTC Droid DNA] impala454:
11/21/2012 7:52 am On FedEx vehicle for delivery! Woo hoo!
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
Mine is now showing out for delivery.

Pretty sad they didnt deliver yesterday even though thats when it arrived at the local facility!

Oh well.

Excited for today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
Fedex driver called me to tell me he would be here between 1 and 2! thats never happened before! I love u wednesday fedex guy!!! =D
[HTC Droid DNA] impala454:
Woo hoo just got it! Let the unboxing begin :)
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
I just received my phone in hand directly from the FedEx driver at 1:45 PM EST 11/21/2012

I asked him two questions (for anybody who cares) about the delivery of this product.

1.Can you share with me: are you delivering a lot of these identical packages on 11/21/2012?

2. Are you (as a driver) instructed not to deliver this package to any address' prior to a specific date even if they are on the truck?

He said the following.

1. "On my route this same type package" (and he knows what is being delivered) is not being dropped off at an unusual number of locations, but a noticeable amount".

2. "We (drivers) are not to deliver specific packages to their destinations until we get a direct notification to do so".

Verizon released this phone today on 11/21/2012 and unless you are a reviewer with prior access to the device you will not be seeing this (or any future releases) show up at your door before the retail store announced release date.
[HTC Droid DNA] two_cents:
I think Verizon should start releasing pre orders the day before you can physically get it in the store... Give us a reason to pre order... It's not like there was a line for this phone... I walked into my store this morning and I told them I got it in the mail yesterday and the associated acted like they only first saw it this morning... Picked up a battery back up for 20 bucks and the LG wireless charger... The Nokia didn't charge the phone centered on the pad it had to be slid up a bit...
[HTC Droid DNA] y2jdmbfan:
FedEx just delivered to me here at work about a half hour ago...Popped out my iPhone Nano SIM and put it into a nano to micro sim adapter and it works. Charging on my Nokia DT-900 Qi charging pad I got last week from verizonwireless.com and it works great...The phone came with 1% battery life btw, and it's only up to 14% at this point...

[HTC Droid DNA] nev310:
I had to reorder and they still have not shipped. They haven't even charged my card. First order was on the 17th and reorder was on the 19th.
[HTC Droid DNA] fis324:
Because DNA doesn't Support micro SD and waterproof function.

And there is a big Verizon logo on the front.

Why did HTC omit these features of J butterfly ?
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
Actually it does include the water resistant features. In addition i think that everyone is aware of the origins if this device as there have been several threads on the topic. It has been determined that Verizon leveraged HTC to remove SD support on the us version.beyond that the devices are completely identical
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
Because droid is a verizon brand and they will absolutely slap their log on it. All HTC did was design it. By the way the phone still have splash resistant design, do a little research and you will find out, it is just not advertised as such. Verizon logo? Verizon will slap that anywhere they want, trust me, Note 2 anyone?

Now to the real point, verizon could care less about minority of the users. Most will be like, 5inch 1080p OMG Sold.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
Nothing better to do than complain?

If you don't like it, don't buy it.

D

.
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
So f'in true, some people are just here to pick and choose what they hate. Go get a J butterfly, seriously I have seen more positive about this phone then negative. Only thing I can think of it is just storage but that is because i think more is better lol. I don't even use 8 gigs on my phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] cstrife999:
It does support waterproof function. And just to piss you off obviously lol.:laugh:
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
ok, regarding the waterproofness of the dna, I just emailed their support asking if it was water/splash resistant and this is the reply I got

So can we stop with the lies now
[HTC Droid DNA] snowbeam:
Apply cold water to burned area. :D

But on a serious note: Why would you need a specifically waterproof phone? Normal phones don't care if there are a few raindrops on the display side, or if you wash the backside with a wet towel. Why would you need any "more waterproofness" than that? Just watch out that you don't drown it somehow, and you're good to go.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
you need to ask specifically about IPX5 rating... which indicated higher levels of water resistance, not water proofness.

HTC will not say waterproof because that implies warranty support for phones submerged in water.

Make sense?
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
They never said it was water proof, it is water splash resistant. Water proof would mean you could swim in the pool with it and expect it to work normally, it might it might not. they never said that. Only water splash resistant
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
Who's they? HTC/VZW have said nothing official concerning the water resistance rating this phone carries. Why would they omit that form the marketing materials??
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
They never said it was resistant either, unless you can prove otherwise

And to both of you, I specifically asked if it is water/splash resistant and that is the reply I got

If it did have a ipx5 rating it would be in the spec sheet, but neither verizons or htc's spec page says anything about it. And neither have said anything even hinting that it was

So unless HTC or vzw say something to the contrary, it is safe to assume it is not water/splash resistant
[HTC Droid DNA] pottersam:
While I would have rather had the Micro SD, they did implement the wide angle front camera which is actually super useful for me. And the water proof rating for the Butterfly J is for rain and light submission, not swimming in a pool.
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
Which might not mean too much. I've looked at stuff while walking in the rain with both my Touch and Incredible without any problems, aside from the water sometimes making the touch screen think I'm pressing on it (until water is wiped off, not permanently). Just making the phone's battery non-removable likely makes it tighter and make it less likely for water to get inside though.
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
I hope all you know VZW is the reason we have no sd and low internal
[HTC Droid DNA] Matto2007:
I asked the question and here is HTC's reply. So I guess they are saying it is but not officially yet??

Thank you for contacting HTC Technical Support North America!

I bet you are as curious as we are here about the new HTC DROID DNA. I was doing some research on this device and I found it has the same dust and waterproof IPX5. You will be able to learn more about the specs of this phone at http://www.gsmchoice.com/en/catalogue/htc/droiddna/. I’m positive this is what you are looking for.

As this is not an HTC official partner website, HTC does not support or warranty any third party information, and its implementation is at your discretion. I encourage you to keep visiting constantly our product page at http://www.htc.com/ where soon you will be able to learn more about these amazing new gadgets and stay informed on any future announcements.

Feel free to email us back if you have further questions.

Kind regards,

Sincerely,

Jonathan

[HTC Droid DNA] josh995:
Because Verizon is very involved with the designing of phones that come onto their network.

It's Verizons fault it doesn't have sd slot. They want you to stream more and use more data, which equals more money for them.

HTC is not yet powerful enough to tell Verizon what they are going to do with their phone.

Only 2 companies can do this... Apple, and Samsung. Even Samsung isn't THAT powerful yet, because Verizon still puts their logo on the phone, and pre-install apps on the phone.

I can't wait until the day that HTC & Samsung are as powerful against Verizon as Apple. We will have even more awesome phones when that day comes!
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
It sounds like he did what we've been doing, searching online for the answer, lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] snowbeam:
Or.. maybe just switch carrier?! ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] pottersam:
Some people don't have that option because of coverage. Hopefully the Google/Dish cell coverage turns out to be awesome.
[HTC Droid DNA] symyn:
You do realize that Google has moved away from the SD card. They feel it just confuses end users. See the last 2 Nexus releases for reference.
[HTC Droid DNA] SwiftLegend:
Google has no say in a non-Nexus device though. They don't even have a say in Moto phones (so they claim). Until Google begins in-house Nexus development/designing (really have no idea why they haven't already, not like they can't), they will have no say in any Non-Nexus device. If they did, Android phones would be WAY different.

The Verizon reason is the most probable.

HTC ONE X

i rooted my htc one x 2.20 firmware and opened the bootloader so i have twinwig or whatever its called but i stupidly wiped the system. i have NO os on my htc one x. i was wondering if there is any way i could get something on there. i could mount my sd card and install .zip files but i dont know if you could install a WHOLE os with a zip file. if there is a way please help! if there is a jelly bean os i could use and it would work i would prefer it because thats why i rooted my phone and now i feel stupid cause i messed up. there might be another post like this, but i couldnt find it. if you could help in anyway, please do so! anything will be appreciated! thank you

[Motorola Atrix HD] hapticxchaos:
So I've always owned samsung phones...fell in love with amoled and never looked back...and i gotta tell you, my short spurt with the one xl with having to flash kernels and rom separably and unlocking bootloaders and what not man! i really miss the simplicity of being able to root with odin and never having to look back...everything just worked as it should (the biggest inconvenience we had was having to flash an older kernel on the sg2 before flashing anything above gb) but here I am, ready and willing to embrace the atrix's sexy design but limited development...but I need some clarification that simple searches and reading through threads dont seem to explain quite as thoroughly as other devices portals.

1.) I understand the concept of a bootloader and how it needs to be unlocked in order to flash ROM's and kernels and write to specific partitions of the phone, I just want to ensure that this device has an unlockable bootloader with the latest firmware that it ships with

2.) even more important than bootloader unlocking is root...i see references to SBF's and qslite or something...is this similar to odin for samsung? do i use an SBF (perhaps the equivalent of an RUU for htc or .tar for samsung??) to flash firmwares onto the device, and will a modded version provide SU?

3.) no roms! thats unacceptable. if i can obtain root and recovery, trust me when i say that even while i cant build from source, ill put SOMETHING together, even if its only rooted/themed stock. but what are the odds of rom from other devices being ported?

4.) cheesecake. wtf.

which one of these threads should i use for the latest firmware on the atrix to root?

[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Okay, your bootloader (if it is from att) is not getting unlocked. That is the best way to put it because AT&T ruins everything. Firmware flashing, there is a utility out now. It's the best way to get back to stock. Razr HD roms should be portable, we wont know for sure until we have something to test. Cheesecake is worthless now so don't even worry about it. Moto blocked us from accessing their servers. It really seems like you aren't going to like this to be completely honest. You are probably more of a nexus 4 or gs3 guy....
[Motorola Atrix HD] hapticxchaos:
sincerely, ill get by with just root :) so to sum it all up, no bl unlock or proper recovery, but purely just root (which is fine by me :)) which i can obtain by using THIS? seems your the one who made that tool kit so your clearly the man to ask :) i can use your utility to obtain root, and even retain root after the upgrade to the test build of jb?

your so awesome sirhoover :)
