Will take them soon, need to get somewhere with a camera other then the phone itself
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BishopX:
I've read several comments stating that for a restocking fee we can exchange the silver for black. Is this common practice? I prefer the black over the silver, and I don't mind waiting, but I wont miss the $100 for a color.

I'm in the same situation as many that have a few more days until we are no longer able to get the $100 rebate. I'm also eligible for a monthly discount that will save me $10 a month for the same plan.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
Perhaps a mirror?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
If you do take it please snap a pic of the back so we can be sure it's the at&t model. thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
awww we love you too. You try doing our jobs(that we don't get paid for). Now in this forum section I'm not a MOD(so here I'm no different than non mods) but you have to give us a break. The thread was moved to Q&A because not only did the title have a "?" in it but because the OP was a question. "Has anyone seen any in stores/etc?"

Is this not a question? Why do we have a Q&A section then if we are going to lump everything into general? and when it gets moved is not relevant at all. Most of us MOD multiple sections and only see things if 1. Someone reports it or 2. We pop in and see it. It's very possible a MOD from the section didn't see it, Or it's possible that no one reported it until now.

Maybe the users need to be more reasonable. The rules aren't that hard to follow
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
And I get that, but maybe there should be a tag for a thread that you guys can see so that when a mod is posting in a thread, you have to assume that it's in the right spot. Yes, this started with a question, but it has 38 pages of additional conversation evolution attached to it. It's silly, tbch. Moving things like this off the main forums kills them.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Ended up cancelling my Wal-Mart order (stuck at processing). My local store called me, and I went and picked it up there.

As expected, bootloader unlocked without a hitch.

EDIT: 32gb btw
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Wolf:
I could not find this thread either, lol. Well, just to let all of you know, I just received a text message from a rep at an AT&T corporate store. I have talked to him a few times trying to decide whether to get the silver or wait for the black version. He notified today me that they just received a shipment of the stealth black phones. He is holding one for me and I am going to pick it up tonight. I am in the Chicago land area. So it looks like they are actually arriving in stores.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I just wish the 64GB became available already!!!!! GOSH....
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
How did you reach anyone there? Did you us phone or chat?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Neither. That was so frustrating lol. Chat wasn't working, and no matter what you did on the phone, you couldn't get a person. I cancelled via the order status page (whereismyorder.com - or something like that). On the top right, right below the shipping address, you should see "cancel an item" (or something like that). This is the result.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] leo_cheng:
Does anyone know the availability of Black One at Houston? Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
No, but you can by calling your local ATT stores and reporting back to us.

Lazy.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chambers7867:
so i have multi confirmations in Michigan but cannot get anyone to sell me a unit till tomorrow. Guess i'll just have to wait a few more hours...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Donjuanal:
I ordered mine last night from Walmart. Black 32Gb. It has shipped and should be in tomorrow. Excited to make the jump from the Galaxy Note to the One. I checked with all the local retailers in my NH area and none of them had the black phones physically in stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
From midnight on I will be refreshing the att site like a mad man waiting for the 64GB. If I can't get it online or on the phone I will go into a store and order the 64GB (the first day pre orders started for the silver the site/ call center couldn't place the order, I had to pre order in the store)

Now when I get the black I have to decide..

Sell the Silver

Keep the Silver and switch from time to time

Give the silver to my mom
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bigroh12:
217 Broadway in NYC has....just picked up
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately mine went into prepared for shipment status when I checked the page again but at least I'll get it tomorrow. Still can't believe I purchased a cell phone from walmart. Yes, I'm what some of you android users would call an iphone snob (this will be my first android phone). You can say what you want about apple, but their shopping experience is second to none. Not used to this no ETA nonsense and having to deal with various retailers who have no idea what's going on.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
64GB or just 32?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bigroh12:
Only 32gig I was told 64 is online only
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Yeah I called the 86th Street store again.(I confirmed they had the 32 a couple of days ago) He told me they had it, I asked if they had the 64gb and he said no, only 32 but he can order it for me. I told him I'd be in tomorrow(if I can't order it online or over the phone)

I wonder why the stores aren't stocking 64GB in either color.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ineversl33p:
FYI my att store in stonestown mall in SF just got our first shipment of 32 blacks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ineversl33p:
Proof
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] iElvis:
Yes, this is odd. I wonder if there just aren't enough of them, or they figure there isn't enough demand to stock all the stores.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Probably the latter.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Man I like it. But I have to admit I love both colors.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Congrats! So any build quality issues on the black? Gaps, and such
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Thanks, nothing major, it seems like the glass is uneven but no gaps, I'm about to check for dead pixels after I restore my trickdroid back up so I will get back to you.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
nice, My silver the glass is a little uneven and I have a tiny gap (a lot smaller than others I have seen) And I could live with that. lol if it has a single dead pixel I can't deal with that. lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kotemah:
called corporate store here in fairfax, they will have 32gb in stock tomorrow!!!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I'm really hoping I can order the 64GB tomorrow.. Knowing my luck the 64GB will be delayed longer. hahaha

All you 32GB guys are making me jealous but I'd rather hold out. My 64GB only has about 12 GB of space left. I don't know how I dealt with the 16GB Nexus 4 for a few months. haha
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
crap.... there are a lot of dead pixels. Do you know if I need to go to a local walmart to swap or AT&T? Probably walmart right?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FiveSigma:
HolVhens immortale

Just finished exam, this was waiting at doorstep.

1) Unbelievable build quality.

2) Fedex delivered 7 hours earlier than expected, however, I did order during the last week of April.

3) Unfortunate that I'll have to wait until tomorrow to activate, since I'm switching carriers.

4) Case is Incipio DualPro (Black/Black). Would recommend. Solid, clean, no fingerprints on the back, maintains all-black theme.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
That sucks dude! I think in your first 14 days you have to exchange it at the place of purchase. If it had been an AT&T store you exchange it there, so I'm guessing you'd have to deal with Walmart, or you can wait until your 15th day and try to get a warranty replacement. Since the phone is so new I doubt very highly they are giving out refirbs for warranty replacements yet which means you would get a new one
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
This leads to the question if I can return it to the store or do I have to send it in the mail
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] GordonOSU:
I looked at the only two at my ATT store and they both have gaps that were large enough for me to not want either one. I guess that I am back to waiting. They will probably end up being sold to someone else, but I want "zero gap construction" as advertised. The top speaker cover on one of the phones was tilted very badly and caused a significant gap all along the top of the phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Well the phone is headed back in the mail.... :( I'm fine keeping silver. Black looks sick but silver does to. I may go into the store and look to make sure that they are in great condition before walking out
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
Could someone please explain to me how are the gaps affecting the phone for everyday use?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
it does not, People just want their investment for the next 2 years to be 100% from the time they pop it out of the box. Most people wont notice/care. Some will
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Some people also don't want dust, lint, and hair stuck in their phone permanently. This is already happening to some people who decided to live with the gaps.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] iElvis:
Where are these gaps? I've not seen a good description of what the problem is so far.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Then you haven't searched the forum..... There are a few threads with pics showing the issue..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] samanbabah:
fingerprints

I've heard that the black model is a fingerprint magnet. that the rear of the black HTC One gets covered in fingerprints very readily that are both hard to get off and also noticeable. is it true?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
A little but not horrible. Wouldn't be a deciding factor for me to be honest
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] samanbabah:
Where to buy black model?

does anyone know when the black developer's edition comes out? I have checked Walmart but no luck.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] msgnow:
i got mine from at&t today. a 64GB stealth black version. i placed my order on the 29th of apr over the phone and interestingly, neither the website of at&t nor htc shows this phone available.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] samanbabah:
how is the phone? any gaps? what about fingerprints? are they noticeable? I've heard the back of the black model shows fingerprints very readily that are hard to get off.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nickslife89:
same here /: they said they have it but they cant sell it till tomorrow, they are actually having a launch event and got shirts and every thing they told me lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] msgnow:
gaps are not obvious at all. very tiny. i can live with it. fingerprints are noticeable on the screen but not much an issue on the back to me. i feel fantastic holding the phone. the only problem to me is the htc sense 5, which is so much different than previous versions. can't seem to use the NFC feature of the phone. needa spend some time to figure it out and explore other features of the phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nickslife89:
Why don't use use nova launcher with the stock android theme. It didn't impact battery and looks great
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Ok fellas IT"S LIVE!! It is now on the att site for sale. Both 32 and 64GB. Just placed my order!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nickslife89:
Why don't you swap yours at att for 35 bucks?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
For whatever reason, at&t still only offers the 64gb version online

Just returned my silver for a black. I'm really enjoying it! I'm gonna put a Zagg full body on it later today just incase.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] XDSaint:
Glad to hear! Did you opt for the Fedex next day or the standard UPS 2 day? I believe Fedex delivers on Saturdays. I ordered a couple of hours after you so hopefully they'll get mine out today as well. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I went with fed ex. When I tracked it, it said Monday delivery by 3pm. Good thing Im off next week
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] swapgut:
Yep, just barely touched the back with my fingernail and it left a scuff mark. Spit on your finger might rub it off:silly: didn't try that though.

Still ordered the matte black one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] XDSaint:
Yup, mine says Monday as well, it's coming standard overnight instead of priority overnight and only priority covers Saturday delivery. Oh well, just glad it's finally out. It'll give me time to go look for cases over the weekend. :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nickslife89:
Gets nice tpu case from amazon. But yeah just got mine from the store by house today. They look great. However mine does have the gaps
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BishopX:
Just found this thread again after it moved (was a bit annoying, but understandable). I ordered my 32GB from the AT&T website last night. Can't wait till it comes in :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Element515:
I'm returning my silver and I still don't know what I want... The silver I know I love... But the black I'm still unsure.... I go back and forth. Is the black one and different texture?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Same here, Silver is so nice and turns heads more and black is cool it really is a hard choice. The black has been anodized to become black so it does feel different in the hand. I have to make a choice before tomorrow... this is so hard...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Alaris:
I have black now but through warranty am switching to silver. With my OCD I keep worrying I'm gonna scratch the finish lol. And I agree with up top the silver does pop more.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
haha. I know this will be the case for me when my black arrives in a couple of hours and why I decided to just keep both. I'll run Sense on one and an AOSP based rom on the other and switch off depending on my mood.

My black 64gb is on the truck for delivery and right now I'm in praying for no defects mode.. lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Issemann:
Good luck! After days of debating back & forth, I've decided to go with the 64gb silver. (May change the look with a slim case, if I can find a nice one I like!)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Thanks, I'm off this week from work studying for finals. Every truck I hear outside I run to the window and look. hahaha I'm just hoping no dead pixels. That's my biggest worry.

Nice and my Poetic Atmosphere case just came in the mail
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Black just came,

No dead pixels :) Man, It's sexy as hell. I definitely prefer it over the silver, but also love the silver
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Dang... lucky I wish mine had no dead pixels. On top of that I had to return it via mail and so far tracking information is not available for me sending it back. FedEx better not have lost this package... if so I am screwed...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
That sucks man. That's why I was hoping mine wouldn't have any issues because since it was a 64gb if have no choice but to exchange by mail. Running renovate on the black version and the latest cm nightly on the silver.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Awesome man, I'm glad you finally got one. :good:

Well I think I've officially decided on the Silver HTC One. I don't know how but I fell in love with it, I played with the black one today in the store and they had them in stock so I could have walked out with one but I didn't. Tomorrow is my last day and I really like the look of silver. Plus the black on they had in stock already had a few scratches and some really deep and it had the worse case of the gap issue I have ever seen. It didn't have any dead pixels but the build quality was a joke. I could clearly see the internals from the top and fit my finger under the metel overhang next to the sim tray... just sad. It was a hard choice because they both are beautiful but I made up my mind. Plus I will see if AT&T allows me to keep my upgrade without charging me the full price, if so who knows what may happen ;)

My current silver one was in better condition than both of the display models and I don't want to take a chance of losing my no dead pixels and minor gap phone. So I think I made the right choice.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Alaris:
What app did you use to check for stuck pixels?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
dead pixel test, put it on the black screen and try to go to a low light area or block the light with your hand. They usually appear greenish, some easier to tell than others. Once you see one, you can't stop seeing it lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] swapgut:
Got mine today also. Blk 32Gb. Pixel Test shows I've got a nice screen, fit and finish is good no bleed through around screen. Box shows it's from Taiwan.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] vinuneuro:
Does anyone have a full body protector on their Black phone? The phone is here, and I'm not able to bring myself to use a case with it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Alaris:
I had a zagg on my before I switched back to silver. Adds like gloss finish to the back when it's on. Finger prints and smudges are worse though.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] vinuneuro:
Incidentally, I've decided to switch it for silver too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
I'd like Silver more if it didn't have white inserts.

Sent from my HTC One
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
couldn't agree with you more. It is the only downside IMO Not sure which color would be better (I'd have to see) but I do not like white
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] illmatic416:
Add me to the list of people that also only dislike the white inserts. If they even could have made it light gray, that would be have been better off....just anything but white that will turn yellow over time.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Exactly! That was the single most important thing that allowed me to hold out for Black. Everytime I thought about getting one, I thought about the white inserts ha.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] unremarked:
I think the black is sexy as hell and I want one.

But I've already gone through 3 HTC Ones, and lucky number 4 is as damn near flawless as you can get. There are no gaps, power button isn't recessed, no tool marks/uneven plastic, and the screen is near completely level... seriously, she's a beauty and I don't want to roll the dice anymore.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nickel Dime Bay:
Same exact situation, have a nearly flawless silver. Dont want to take a chance on a bad black One, it is sexy as hell tho.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Squirrel1620:
Got a black one today, no problems here. Only one dead pixel I can see
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nickel Dime Bay:
No problem, just a dead pixel. Lol man go get that exchanged!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ElBeaner:
THe Black one I got last week is almost damn near perfect.

VERY slight gap in the top grill, left hand side, no dead pixels (ran pixel test to make sure)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Alaris:
I gave up and returned mine. Must have gone through maybe six of them all with dead pixels. It's a shame to I really enjoyed the phone :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Brodrick:
noob question here, how do you run a pixel test?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Alaris:
Download the app from the app store. Do your self a favor and don't unless you notice a dead pixel under normal use. I finally gave up and returned the phone because all of the ones I got had stuck pixels. It's a shame to I really enjoyed the phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ElBeaner:
Just download an app and look at the screen. This is the one I use allows multiple colors(like most)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] megamaster2:
I've got three stuck pixels that are green.. It bothers me now lol. I bought my phone today :/ Can I get it exchanged? How did you guys prove there were stuck pixels? it's hard to create darkness in the store

Yes, just show them the to when I went in for mine they guy didn't care to see it and replaced it with no problem

< Dang... lucky I wish mine had no dead pixels. On top of that I had to return it via mail and so far tracking information is not available for me sending it back. FedEx better not have lost this package... if so I am screwed... >

No kidding. I'm on the phone with ATT for the umpteen time now because they have yet to acknowledge the receipt of the 2nd SGS4 I've sent back. The return label they sent me don't have tracking info and it has been more than 2 weeks now since I've sent it back. They got the first wrong-color SGS4 though. If I had known the hassle, I'll gladly pay the few bucks to send it back myself with tracking info.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] unremarked:
I broke down and bought a Stealth Black one off Swappa(fantastic service, I have a feeling that it's going to be detrimental to curbing my phone addiction...). It's just too sexy to pass up. Thankfully, while this one wasn't perfect like my silver, it came with as little defects as possible and I'm happy with it. The power button is more recessed than on my silver, and the lower left corner of the screen is slightly below the metal casing. All other corners of the screen are either A) flush, or B) slightly raised. Very little gap between the screen and the casing too.

EDIT: Nope, just stuck pixels. Fixed now!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] prjkthack:
Restocking fees depend on where you get your phone from, and sometimes your state. Some states have laws against restocking fees entirely, while others leave it up to the retailer.

I do believe that if it isn't against the law, AT&T corporate stores tend to charge restocking fees, while places like Best Buy, Walmart, Target and RadioShack do not charge any kind of restocking fees. Best to check with whatever retailer you want to buy your device from.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ShotSkydiver:
Yeah, AT&T will charge a restocking fee for anything that isn't a direct SKU swap (the exact same device).
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BishopX:
Thanks for the info :good:. I'm good with the fee as long as they let me trade in a phone just to get a different color.

Addon:

An AT&T online rep just advised that I would not be able to exchange the phone for a different color. There's always a way. I'll have to call a few stores in the area to see what I need to do. I won't give false information either, so I hope everything works out.

The discount is some kind of corporate discount available on upgrade, I feel like I need to do everything in the correct order to get the discount/rebate/black phone. Looks like I may end up with discount/rebate/silver.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Really? They wont let you exchange for the color? That sucks. They should. I mean they offer "no hassle exchanges" I have another 64gb silver on the way but I decided I want black for that line. I was going to wait until the black came out and then exchange the silver for the black. Maybe I should just cancel the order the the silver, let the upgrade reset and get the black when it's available.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] centex99:
I may consider trying to do a swap later one for colors... but not sure if that'll possible mess up the $100 rebate or not...
