[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] angel.mariano:
aww thank you, i will keep you updated... btw did you rooted yours? im thinking about rooting mine when it arrives?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
Yes, please do!

No, I don't plan on rooting it. I looooove sense, and normally rooting would be one of the first things I do but I honestly have no desire to root/rom it. Ask me tomorrow, my answer may be different :D But right now, I'm loving stock.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] waylo:
So I just dropped by my local TMobile store to upgrade my phone to the HTC One. The salesperson there seemed a bit too slick, and was telling me that I HAD to get a $11.99 insurance plan before I could leave with the phone. I could cancel it after one month, but it needed to be there.

Sounds like a total commission-increasing scam to me.

Anyone else?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jntdroid:
On T-Mobile, the $11.99 insurance is only for the iPhone - it's $7.99 for the One. And it's pretty good coverage through Asurion. Not a scam, except that he/she told you the wrong amount!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rootyourphones:
I would recommend getting insurance just in case if u get a crack screen I heard its hard to replace.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] waylo:
Hmm, I checked my account online and it is $11.99. Well, soo... I guess I feel better, but I am now partially scammed? I'll call tomorrow and get it changed.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jntdroid:
Unless something has changed or there's a higher level of insurance I don't know about...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
I've never been forced or heard of anybody being forced to get the php. If it were me I would have called 611 from right there in the store and asked, then passed the phone off to the store person. My php (premium handset protection) is only $7.99 not $11.99.

I've never had to use the insurance but I'm glad I have it just in case...forking over $150/$160 for a new phone (they aren't actually new, or so I've been told, they are refurbished phones) is a lot better than $600. If you can afford it, I'd keep it...it covers lost, theft, damage, malfunction, etc.

Squaretrade is actually cheaper, and they always have codes for discounts....but you have to get it within 30 days of buying the phone.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CJohnson1073:
Squaretrade sounds like a good plan but the one thing I feel more confident about having with the warranty is coverage for loss or theft. Knock on wood, I haven't needed that part of the plan but if I lost my phone I'd feel more comfortable knowing I can get it replaced.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] yankele:
7.99? The rep over the phone sold me one for 11.99! Or maybe because I'm a new customer? I don't know but I for sure will be calling 611 to clear this up... Besides I'm getting my wife's H1 on Monday and I'll for sure need insurance on that one too, so $8 less a month sounds good :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] waylo:
Let me know what happens here. Will be doing the same shortly.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
Yup, $7.99....they're raping you. With no lube either :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] yankele:
Just got off the phone with them and they told me that for the higher end tier which includes the Note 2, S4, iCrap, and H1 the required php is the 11.99 and that all of the others with 7.99 are probably old customers that eventually will be bumped to 11.99...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
If it's $11.99 why is it on their website for $7.99?

They just recently upped it to $7.99, within the last year, from like $5.99....I don't see them going up $4, but you never know. So they are still claiming its "required"? Something isn't right here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] blackangst:
I had the 7.99 plan on my s2 and it changed to the 11.99 plan. I ended up getting a 2 year square trade plan for 99, so 4.16/mo. I can't choke down 280 for 2 years of ins.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CJohnson1073:
I'm a new customer and they have me signed up on the $7.99 plan. Hopefully it stays there.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
I don't understand this "required" and "had me" business....I've had the php since, gosh, I wanna say 2009, and when I bought the H1 it gave me the option of keeping it or taking it off. If they do raise the price they will send a letter before the change happens so you can opt out if you want. They raised the price not that long ago, maybe a year....and it was only by a couple of bucks, $4 would be a little steep. I don't get how they can force this insurance on people, it was never like that before.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] angel.mariano:
hey how long did they take to refund the money from the phone you sent back, they just told me that they charged my card for the replacement phone, but i will get a refund when i send the defective htc one back
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
The phone was delivered to them 11 days ago and they still haven't refunded me the money. Not only that, they massively screwed up my bill....my bill has the $143 down payment on it, that I already paid, why they put it on my bill for the second one is beyond me, they didn't take off the original shipping for the first order, the $6.99, didn't take off the $24.99 for the over night shipping for the replacement that they said they would do, I didn't ask for the over night shipping, that was all them, they didn't give me my normal TripleA discount, they charged my credit card $579 for the replacement, AND they opened up another eip for the replacement so now I have two eip's open, with a balance of $980. No idea how I'm going to get them to fix this....I'm going to wait for the bill to come, maybe by then they'll fix it, my billing just closed on the 8th. We will see.

They also didn't credit me the return shipping for the original....on the phone he said gee was going to credit me $10 to return the original.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] angel.mariano:
oh damn... i had to sing another eip too , but they said everything will be refunded once they get the phone ( the 140 dollars ) , hopefully i wont have the same problem as you, since they took out the money from my card already( the new replacement phone which will be shipped on monday ) and it only shows 140 dollars ( still pending )
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
I understand opening another eip for the new phone and closing out the old when they get the phone, but why put the $143 that I already paid on my bill, and charge my credit card $579 for one of the phones....I'm sure it'll get straightened out but I would have thought they would have by now since they've had the original back for over a week. This is why I'll probably never buy online again....first time I did and the last. They don't need to make exchanges so difficult. I just hope there are notes on my account for all these credits that the manager said he would do. Wait and see is all I can do. Hope everything works out for you as well. Fingers crossed!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] angel.mariano:
579, thats crazy, i would go nuts if i see a pending charge of 579 on my card., but dont worry, they will refund all that money back, since they know you returned the phone .....

are you using a case on yours, im thinking about buying a case, but the phone looks so nice and beautiful naked
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
Yup, I'm using a case, I could never not use a phone without a case, I'm too ocd for that. I bought the diztronic tpu and a mercury goospery, both on Amazon. They don't add any bulk at all, very thin. I go caseless in the house but I'm not taking any chances outside....I hardly ever drop phones but I need that security knowing that if I did drop it it has a better chance of coming out with no scratches, marks, etc. I can't stand having any marks/scratches on my stuff, to me it becomes trash if it doesn't look pristine always. I have a mytouch 3g slide that looks like it did on the day I got it, all my phones do.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] scm_crash:
Is anyone having trouble with the headphone jack? I plugged in my headphones but the phone continued to play music through the speakers. I can't find any setting regarding the headphones.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rootyourphones:
U have a hardware issues I recommend switching it out or restoreing it factory it seem to fixed my htc one.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mdiaz33685:
well they had me on the $7.99 and when I went to a different tmobile store and ask to verify, they said that's the wrong plan, that they probably wont replace your phone,

this new plan is a tier 3 phone, which is now $11.99

so if you are in the wrong plan, hope they replace your phone, I would question that..

but with a premier hand set, you get this mobile security app, that can help u locate and wipe your phone if necessary.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
I called today after the other posts, "William" said that as far as he can see and knows that the premium handset protection is $7.99 for my phone. It doesn't really matter to me, the $7.99 according to him covers my H1 but it also covers my other devices, of course I'd only be covered for the phone that had the sim in it. My $7.99 plan also includes the mobile security app.

Guess I'll just sit back and wait for the letter saying they are raising it to $11.99, they can't raise it without letting people know.

Here's a link which explains Blinkfeed. It explains it much more in depth. The ability to control what you get and how often you get is simply amazing.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
Is anybody here coming from N4? I'm curious to see if you've noticed any difference in data and overall signal. I am moving next month to Atlanta and when I was out there last time I had issues with n4 totally losing data with 4 bars, or no service stuff. I'm not sure if HTC One would help with my odd service issues, my friend that has s4 on T-Mobile doesn't seem to have those problems.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] branshaw09:
I made the switch. I am getting much better data and signal on the One. I'm guessing it has to do with picking up the extra TMo specific bands that most of the unlocked devices dont offer.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
I still own the n4 and my signal on the H1 is much much better than the n4.....the signal is still good on the n4 but I consistently have more bars, faster speeds, on the H1.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
That's what I figured. Doesn't HTC one support T-Mobile refarmed network and gives you better building penetration? While on the nexus 4 you can only manually force either or?

Yea. The LTE was the final straw for me to upgrade. Figured if I end up paying thrle same monthly, might as well have a device that officially supports it, versus hacked on nexus version of it. And all unlocked nexus device always ran kind of odd on T-Mobile, that initial high ping doesn't help.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] yankele:
And it looks like (as per the ups app) they delivered my wife's H1! And yes we loved mine that much that she's getting one too! Even though is not for me I'm looking forward to getting home to set it up for her!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] waylo:
I'm pretty sure the salesman I dealt with was just totally full of crap, insisting that all phones "leaving the premises" need to have an insurance plan.

For a general T-mobile insurance FYI, refer here:

http://phoneclaim.com/documents/T-Mobile/New-Ts-and-Cs.pdf

So there's a $11.99 product which includes mobile tracking, insurance and warranty.

There's a $7.79 product which is insurance and warranty. The difference between this product and the previous is hard to distinguish. I think the previous extends the warranty by 6 months.

And then there's a $5.99 product which is a warranty. Which is ridiculous because you already have a warranty just for buying it from HTC. Maybe it's a slightly extended warranty.

The prices are listed here, http://www.phoneclaim.com/t-mobile-home/program (just have to punch in the phone model)

Now, if you have renters/home owners insurance (which usually covers loss, theft, damage), and purchased it on a credit card with extended warranty options, you are probably covered for all of this already. The deductible for any claim is $175, which is still 1/3 of the cost of the phone.

I called and downgraded my $11.99 to the $7.79 product. I'll probably discontinue the whole thing in a month or two.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
OMG OMG!!!

I ordered mine around 4pm today, figured that it will get backordered and maybe I will get it by Friday at earliest. I then get an email from T-Mobile around 7 saying that my card has been charged and it is being processed. Yay, figured it may ship tomorrow and get delivered by Thursday. Then, I just logged in to my account and it shipped for scheduled delivery for tomorrow!!!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Element515:
Anyone know what apps will come on the tmobile version? didn't someone get a One already? Just asking because people with att are mad the HTC car mode was replaced with their own app.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] gruuvin:
ya... hopefully not too much bloat.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Joshnor713:
Does preorder typically just mean online? Or can you reserve it at the store?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Element515:
I would hope tmobile doesn't have a much bloat. I don't really remember since my sensation has been rooted for so long but I don't think they add too much.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
There isn't much at all on the sensation, the my account app, more for me app, T-Mobile t.v, and that's it, oh and visual voicemail but I find that useful, along with the my account app since that's how I pay my bill.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Element515:
Yeah, most of those were helpful things. Hopefully that's what the one will get. Wifi calling is great too
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] htc fan89:
so the outright price is going be similar to at&t prices?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] alinefx:
Not much bloat, only problem being the locked down hotspot feature (works on at&t though).

Either way, I'm installing Stock now, so goodbye T-Mo bloat!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chiensibut:
no is it real about preorder on 19th?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Element515:
You're easily able to root your tmobike one? Awesome...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Turb0wned:
Their are 5 bloat apps.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

I also heard the 19th for prerders, don't know if it's true or not though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] branshaw09:
So is it more benefitial for me as a T-Mobile customer to wait on the T Mobile version of the ONE or will I be good getting the unlocked version directly from HTC? Will I get better updates on the HTC unlocked version? Will the bands on the unlocked version be future proof for when LTE comes to my area (Dallas)? Thanks
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I think you will get somewhat faster updates with the HTC version, because T-Mobile has to check the versions for their brand before releasing.

I'm on T-Mobile and ordered the dev version because of the 64gb storage. The disadvantage is that the T-Mobile branded one will operate at full speed on the AWS 1700/1900 42 network as well as LTE later. The HTC one will operate on LTE when it becomes available, and on the AWS 1900 bands that T-Mobile has been rolling out in some cities (like mine). And of course on EDGE anywhere.

Really, to my mind the T-Mobile version has the advantages because of the modems, if you can get by with 32 Gb of storage.

Oh, and one other thing, the HTC brand will work with international AWS frequencies, but from what I've read the T-Mobile one will not.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Hoggles:
W

Yep. T-Mobile's helpdesk Twitter account posted preorders on the 19th.

Funny thing is that just a day earlier they tweeted a response to a random question on the release and said something along the lines of... "T-Mobile announced HTC one releases on the 24th"....when in fact T -Mobile never officially announced a date....it was leaked on Tmonews. That same day...they tweeted preorders were over, to a question on their twitter account. Now, they tweet preorders start on the 19th....all the while, except for their helpdesk twitter account....they haven't announced anything officially...on their main site or in a normal press release as they did with the SGS4.

Can you say wtf?

T-Mobile is royally dropping the ball on the release of the ONE. Kind of amazing, but yet not surprising...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I called two T-mobile places here locally. One said they have heard nothing and won't know until a couple of days before hand, the other said it won't be this month, maybe in May.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
Outright price with T-Mobile is $579. $99 down and $20 a month for 24 months if you're on the new plans. If you're still on the classic then you can go to best buy and get it for $249 with a new 2yr.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Hoggles:
Yep. Exactly my point.... Tmo is completely screwing the pooch on the ONE release.

A few pages back I posted my chat convo with a Tmo rep. She did confirm the [MENTION=259357]Tmobile[/MENTION]help tweets, about it releasing on the 24th. She also let me know what stores would have it that morning, here in Portland, OR. Only 3 Tmo stores in all of the Portland area will have it on launch day.

T-Mobile still doesn't know how to properly release a device. It's a very tiny percentage of the population who even know about the ONE or know its coming to T-Mobile. Fail. Sigh..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] htc fan89:
I'm just hoping t-mobile would sell me it outright,and if they have stock by first week of May...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] alinefx:
Yup, I can Root this bad boy EZ and..

LTE working on AT&T and HSPA+ 42 still working on T-Mobile (No LTE for T-Mobile yet here). In my opinion, buying the T-mobile one off contract and unlocking/rooting it beats the lack of 1700 AWS of the developer version (if you can live with 32GB).

After installing stock ROM, the Generic LTE logo shows, none of that Carrier 4G LTE stuff.. Indoors, T-Mobile HSPA+ is as fast as AT&T LTE (that changes by a magnitude of 10 in favor of AT&T outside though).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
Online at check out there is an option to pay the phone in full, I do believe you can also pay in full over the phone.

Or do you mean that you're not a T-Mobile customer and are wondering if they'll sell you the phone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Aetherhole:
Congrats on your purchase! I did the same thing when I had no luck finding it on the actual release date. I just called in and did an over-the-phone purchase knowing full-well that it was backordered. I didn't care. The next morning I got a notification that the phone had shipped! I received it the very next day and have been thoroughly satisfied since then!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] yankele:
Did they let you downgrade? Because I called too and they said the 11.99 was the required plan for this higeher tier phone.

I might have to call them again then!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] air2k57:
I called few stores around the area and they said that they didn't have it. I figured I'd wait till 15th and see, but when I called yesterday they said that they weren't going to carry it for awhile...

Says it is on a vehicle for delivery right now, I should go outside and wait with a sign lol.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
*Omg, I'm sorry, you weren't asking me! No idea why I thought you quoted my post! My eyes are playing tricks on me! Sorry!*

I'm not on the $11.99 plan, they kept me at $7.99. When I ordered the phone it brought me to the service add-on page and it automatically selected the $7.99 plan, the system knew that I was already on the premium handset protection plan.... So when I called and talk to a rep about it he said that I was all set, that I'm covered. Until I hear otherwise, by letter from T-Mobile or Asurion I'm not going to worry about it. Either way I need to keep the $7.99 plan because I have other phones that are covered, (as long as the sim is in the phone at the time something happens to it) like the nexus 4, HTC sensation, and GNote.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] waylo:
I told them I wanted to change specifically from the premium bundle to just the premium insurance. There are tiers for different phones for sure, but that should only dictate how much you spend in each plan (A-E), not which plan you need to have.

Theoretically.

I was within the 14 day purchase window, so I don't know if that makes a difference. If you are too, you could just cancel and then call up again and sign up again.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] branshaw09:
So I got my replacement today. Did your replacement come in a HTC One box like your original one did or did it come in a different box with only the phone? Mine was the later.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
It came in the retail HTC one box like the original order did.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] branshaw09:
Hmmm...bummer... guess I got a refurb! Didn't take them long to have those available!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
Were you past your 20 day return/exchange window??

If not I'd make a fuss, should have been new if you were.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] branshaw09:
Yes, I was at day 16 from delivery. I was told I was getting an exchange.

I called TMo and they said they have no real way of knowing if it's new or refurb. It's strange because it didnt come in retail box but the phone seems to be wrapped in the same retail wrapping that the phone came in. I am gonna try and find out though. I know there are the tricks to access the hidden menus in android, but am having trouble finding them on this phone. The typical custom launcher>shortcut>activities>com.android.hiddenmenus isn't there.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
The plain white boxes are reburbs.....the ones with the plastic see-thru window where the phone goes....but you were within your window, sounds like the rep processed the exchange wrong or something. Can't say I've heard about "hidden" menus. Interesting. I'll have to Google more info about it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] thcOne:
I'll be getting my 0ne on friday. I ordered it saturday, the 11th. pretty jealous of all you guys who got yours next day or whatnot because it will have taken 6 days for me.

I got no insurance plan on mine, but ordered through advantage with a corporate discount from my employer.

I went with an incipio dualpro case, spigen SPC screen protector, iottie easy flex2 dash mount, and also got a kenwood bluetooth dash unit for my car to boot.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] waylo:
Shoot, I have a corporate advantage plan applied to my billing, but forgot about purchasing!

How much did you have to pay for your HTC One?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kcirred10:
anybody heard anything about the black one coming to tmobile? still trying to hold out for it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] branshaw09:
I called and asked CS about it. Was told that the 20 day window starts when the order is placed and not on delivery date. I threw a little fit and I have a brand new one on the way! :victory:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dirtyhamster73:
Yipppppy!!! Good! I'm happy for you. They are smoking bath salts if they think starting the 20 days on order day is fair! Pppfft.

I love how these reps tell us all different things... Been with them for a long time and as far as I know it's always started on the day you get the device... But things might have changed, this is the first time in a couple years that I've bought a phone with T-Mobile, I usually buy unlocked or on amazon, Google play store.
