you can search for gadgetshieldz screen protector on ebay....
[One (M7) General] htc_one_fan:

[One (M7) General] srahul0809:
The major reason why I bought this is because I dont want any additonal silicon/polycarbonate cover on my phone. This is kind of a lamination which will simply protect it from major scratches. It doesn't even increase the dimensions of the phone. So you get the full feel of the phone without beibg afraid of scratching it.

Wrong Time Zone

Suddenly my phone is showing my time zone of UK and placing my location in London. All automatic settings for time zone etc is checked. Phone was purchased in UK, however there was no such problem till now. All applications using Location services are showing my location in London.

It seem some issue with all various google application updates which came yesterday. Is any one else facing this issue today, specially those having phones from UK??

Its all working fine now.;. It seems if google is not able to get location or location services are not working etc, it defaults to phone location somehow. In this case it defaulted to London

Guys have a little sad news...

The shipment is here for HTC One but this HTC has stopped distributor from making it available in market for couple of days.

Reason: HTC says that they want the handset to reach all retailers before it goes for sale ( that's insane )

shift the dat to 20th but hey handset is definitely launching in this week....

Just got this info from the VP of the company ( distributor).

However, I amy get my handset in couple of days hehehe

Comeon HTC ..!!!!
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
dont think its coming before 21-22 may.. like htc always said 4th week of may.

and all stores also saying this date, so yeah.. a few more days hopefully. crazy htc
[One (M7) General] whosaysjohn:
This is becoming ridiculous day by day...God only knows when the next date will be now...

[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Hey people...

back again with the news....Just came back from Distributor godown .....THE BEAUTY is here....

Just couldn't resist my self however, had to control myself...Seeing soo many HTC One together at one place was amazing..trust me they are gorgeous and looks stunning....

enough of excitement .

Now reason for delay...

Units have toi be sent to different parts of country so that it can be launched together.

The bangalore team is taking lots of time to get delivered around 4 days , hence the delay in its launch .

THATS THE ONLY REASON...

but the good part is its already here ......20th is the Final date I've come to know from them.

cheers have fun guys

I went to my dealer here in Lucknow, and he said to me very specifically that will be selling the HTC One (and they all are silver white), but only on the 23rd and as per his logistics manifest, he is due to receive the shipment on the 22nd.... I trust this dealer, as his information has been very genuine in the past, and his promise to me was that I could have the very first HTC One on the 22nd itself.... and also the promotion material that is with him he has put it up.. and said that officially he will be accepting pre-orders from the 18th and that is also the time, when he would be 100% sure about the final rate, however he said that is should, and I quote **should** be in the 40-41k range .... that is all I have to share :)

[One (M7) General] tanu_invincible:
I'm expecting the street price to be at 38k in around 2 weeks.The same happened with One X which came to about 36.5k withing couple of weeks !!

Hopefully the same happens this time !!
[One (M7) General] UCFour:
It would be great if the price comes down

but i dont think it will happen this time!

lets see
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Not really. Actually those who purchased early using online deals like the one from ngpay got phones at 32.5k at launch. Those who waited had to shell out more before eventual price drop after 6 months. The initial price was high because plenty of websites were running some sort of promotion.

The One is different. Its cost of manufacturing is high (still nowhere close to sell price ) but main issue is supply. And there are no signs of supply chain sorting itself out anytime soon.

And frankly I wont believe the word of rumours. It was never expected to launch at 20th according to HTC themselves. It was always May end launch. There is nothing concrete that has come out either from HTC or from any reliable source. THe distributors here in Mumbai have not given any promises to the store owners about One. Some stores received few banners couple of days ago and if you go by usual schedule this happens couple of weeks before launch.

There is no other option but to wait if you must buy One.
[One (M7) General] mathen:
never,that will happen only with launch of next flagship by htc one:cowboy:
[One (M7) General] Groovy Bohemian:
Will drop to 38K in few months maybe but not in few weeks for sure.

[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Until you decide to root it and hence unlock the bootloader where warranty goes out of window. :p

Bootloader will always show unlocked or relocked and nobody has found a way to change that to Unlocked yet even on older HTC phones.

Funny thing is, US purchased Developer edition will keep its warranty even if we tamper with it as it comes factory unlocked. So really, US version of 64GB Dev edition is better deal for those who surely going to root and install custom rom/kernel on their phone.
