[HTC One S] revosa:
Hahaha thanx alot u ve explained patiently the whole procedure but suggested a simple hint at the end(An app from play store). I ve read the whole procedure and will try now to take a backup by installing custom recovery and i think i have an unlocked bootloader bcoz we India do not have any lock put up by our carriers(Airtel) we can use any SIM we want without any permissions. But thanks a butload u really are a GENIUS :good::good::good:
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
That's not what is meant by locked bootloader. You may not be locked by sim/carrier, but you will definitely have a locked bootloader.

im on JB and everything seems to be fine so far :fingers-crossed::D
[HTC One S] NQNH:
Haha , the simple app solution came into my mind during typing this procedure.

Good luck!

It could be possible that s-off doesnt work anymore because the latest ota fixed sth. But maybe you didnt get it yet in india
[HTC One S] revosa:
Oh that sounds good but i donno whether my country has received such an update barring s-off my current firmware is 4.1.1 with Sense 4+ and my mobile is not rooted
[HTC One S] Seraz007:
if you have the S3 version of the One S, no S off present for it YET :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Ok then how do i root my phone and backup my current ROM ?????

hi all, I have set my mail to sync every one hour but it doesn't seem to be working properly, I have to do a manual update every time to make sure I get the mails. Is anyone having the same issues?

So my battery is going out on me. I'm currently on CM 10.1, S-on, rooted. It looks like I have accidentally deleted my backup of my stock sense rom. I was curious if anyone could direct me to a place or explain how I can find and switch over to stock sense rom while s-on?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Do you want to un-root, or will a stock rooted ROM work? There are a few stock rooted ROM's in the development section-just head in there and check them out:cool:

Ultimately I do want to un root, so that would be nice to know. But thank you! I will flash those roms asap.

I am not planning to get a case for my HTC One. Screen protector only. This is what I did with all my previous Android phones - Atrix, RAZR, and One XL ... however those phones were not made of aluminum. This is day 2, and my phone still looks OK. Question: has anyone else gone commando, and do you have any scratches? Is it wiser to get some kind of case?

With my old iPhone 4, I simply put a screen protector on the front and rear of the device. Is there such a thing for the HTC One?
[One (M7) Accessories] dalamchops:
haven't had a case for a week since i've gotten it. Still looks mint.
[One (M7) Accessories] sceptor:
No case here..that's why I pay for insurance and not bothering with a screen protector...always hated those and ruins the clarity
[One (M7) Accessories] Zolor23:
I'm using it commando, but I'm wondering whether to get a case...
[One (M7) Accessories] vamsik:
Yeah, I dropped mine twice and no major issues besides some small nicks that are making me OCD so I'm probably going to get the Poetic Atmosphere case after they release the updated version with the home button cut out. Meanwhile, I've ordered this sexy Skinomi carbon fiber skin.
[One (M7) Accessories] troysyx:
Honestly, if you're going to go commando, you might as well not put a screen protector on. That's the strongest part of the phone anyway. (thank you gorrila glass)
[One (M7) Accessories] sdla4ever:
No plans to get a case and hide the beautiful aluminum body
[One (M7) Accessories] cue_32:
Commando all the way... Otherwise it'll feel like any other phone out there
[One (M7) Accessories] oddlou:
Went full commando with by GS2 and am mostly decided on doing the same with my One. I'm considering a leather wallet-type or flip case, but no screen protectors for me...just doesn't feel the same. ;)
[One (M7) Accessories] quicksilver92:
I've gone naked for over 3 weeks now, can't bring myself to put a case on this beauty. Starting to get paranoid now though, and OCD with the tiniest dent at the top of the phone. I ordered this pouch last week.http://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/128631973
[One (M7) Accessories] sepffuzzball:
I haven't run cases or screen protectors on my phones in years, certainly not going to put one on this beautiful phone!

That being said, I might get a pouch for it for certain times when I have to relinquish possession of said phone for 'security' reasons. I dislike it when I can't keep hold onto it.
[One (M7) Accessories] Brac20:
Personally I like to use a pouch. When I am using the phone it is commando. But when it goes in my pocket it is wrapped up safe, or when I put it on the desk I can put the pouch underneath. Best of both worlds in my opinion.
[One (M7) Accessories] andrawer:
Hum, I've never even considered a pouch for any of my phones before...but hey, I bet I can get my wife to make one since she sews all the time for her vintage stuff business. JUst got to find the right material and go bug her.:good:
[One (M7) Accessories] bdoople:
Well since you're a fellow Cincinnatian, have her make me one too. :laugh:
[One (M7) Accessories] lojak29:
I'm leaning towards the opposite.. I haven't gotten a case yet usually I use one.

I've kept a real tight grip so far, but I know it's gonna drop soon.

I probably won't go with a defender case just maybe a nice sleek clear case or a commuter to retain some of the physical beauty.

I can't see not using a case it's a slippery phone and the glass is not worth breaking.
[One (M7) Accessories] sketch522:
Commando is the way to go, I think it would be a disgrace to such a beautiful phone to cover it unless it's a aluminum case that adds to the aesthetics
[One (M7) Accessories] nhutpham:
I went commando for one night...and got a nick in the chamferred edge =[

It was in my pocket, and a girl was grinding on me while I was sitting down. Nothing sharp in my pocket, soft couch, no idea how it got nicked but it did.

Sad part is I had a thin clear TPU case but took it out to show people...grr
[One (M7) Accessories] RiXx.One:
Ditto *
[One (M7) Accessories] stevedebi:
Just my take on it. Aluminum is not a hard metal, and it will at least dent and scratch. I would go with at least a thin TPU case. I'm using an Otterbox Defender on mine right now, but I may go with basic TPU soon.
[One (M7) Accessories] Pr20:
I have never had a case for any phone and I certainly can understand why people think this is too beautiful to cover up. But for me it is too beautiful to leave it without a case and me mess it up. That's why I got the diztronic clear tpu case, happy enough with it.
[One (M7) Accessories] Keithwg24:
I have the Blue HTC One... Tried out black, white, and blue bumpers... Also a clear snap on. Just didn't like it near as much as without a case altogether. Out of fear I decided to get a screen protector for the back of the phone and go commando.

Great choice, it gives a bit of shine to the blue and the best part is it has made it very grippy, doesn't slide around either. Perfect
[One (M7) Accessories] mrjasenr:
What protector did you use??? The only reason I don't go commando is because it is so slippery.
[One (M7) Accessories] Keithwg24:
Pic attached... Tried it for the hell of it because it was free shipping. Followed the on package instructions to a T and it turned out perfect
[One (M7) Accessories] cubsfan187:
Had the phone since June 6th with no screen protector or case on it. No scratches or nicks or anything that I can see. White ceramic is still white as well. The phone is too nice to cover it up.
[One (M7) Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Well my brother has one and he use nothing for it neither a cover nor a screen protector.....and I dont feel it requires something ...it is very finely built....
[One (M7) Accessories] sawedust:
Had the phone naked for two days while I waited for my phone case to come in. It almost felt like I couldn't truly enjoy the phone as I was too afraid of dropping or scratching it.

While I love the feel of a sleek, naked phone, I feel much more secure with a case on there. It lets me be a little less worried about the aesthetics of the phone but rather spend more time actually using it.
[One (M7) Accessories] jlczl:
Use a big and bulky Otterbox Defender for work due to the extreme conditions I work in but go comando + a slim Sena leather sleeve the rest of the time
[One (M7) Accessories] Amfibius:
You went commando ... and a girl started grinding on you??? What was commando ... you, or the phone? :laugh:

Anyway you have persuaded me. I started this thread because I wanted to know how easy this phone was to scratch and dent. I think i'll go get a case now :)
[One (M7) Accessories] jcracken:
I went commando with my old S II and I'm going commando with my One. The other day, however, I was sitting down and my phone slid out of my pocket onto a tile floor. Now I have this dent in the back that you can feel but in most light isn't very noticeable. Now I'm having second thoughts...
[One (M7) Accessories] dro_6o:
Very sad, but true as I can confirm this has happened to me last night as well. My phone, in a white TPU case and a Skinomi front and back skin, fell from my bed and hit my remote control on a carpet floor. Took off the case and BAM!, a dent on the top left edge. SO pissed right now! But like some one mentioned, thats what insurance is for! lol. I would highly recommend some type of bumper at least, because while the aluminum of the whole phone itself is pretty sturdy and the glass of course is Gorilla GLass, the edges of this phone are weak and susceptible to dents and dings. Really thinking of taking some sand paper and sanding it out to a polish. Any one has any tips for that?

FYI, Ive been commando for a week until last night, the very night i put the case on this happens! And I must say, its not the best feeling! However, as I just purchased a front and back skin protector from Skinomi, and it does give it a great naked feel as the film is a good CLEAR quality, so that may be an option for some. BTW they are giving a free one away with purchase. Enclosed in the package, comes a certificate for a free skin. Just have to email them with order info. Maybe for limited time only, not sure though.

[One (M7) Accessories] Syn Ack:
Phones like this with well thought out designs are destroyed when people put cases on them. It really puts a damper on those who spent so much time to get the design right. The best thing you can do is buy a SquareTrade warranty, wait until a 30/40/50% coupon is available and go to town. You're looking at under $100 for a 2 year warranty that covers accidental damage. Hell I was even using the warranty on my GNex when I thought my screen wasn't responsive enough or buttery smooth enough anymore. I would just smash the screen and get a new one lol.
[One (M7) Accessories] alias3800:
The reasoning behind getting a pouch seems sound, I've never really thought of it before. I'm definitely going commando on this (have been for a week now), although I'm mostly likely getting ghost armor out on the back and getting because I would get pretty annoyed if I had to run my fingers through scratches every day. So far though, it is in damn mint condition.

I bought a cheap case, and normally it would look great... But I just can't bring myself to cover this device. It makes it ordinary and not as sexy to look at. You guys know what I'm talkin' about..
[One (M7) Accessories] dsf767:
I am going commando until the v2 version of the Poetic Atmosphere that I have on order is shipped. I hope I can keep i mint for the 3 weeks I will be without a case.
[One (M7) Accessories] krugm0f0:

Brasso is supposed to be a good aluminum polisher. It has very fine abrasive in it, so you might try that if you run out of ideas. Just make sure not to get it on any other part of the phone!

I've gone commando since I got it, and I prolly will for a while.

I would like to get some sort of pouch that completely covers it for work tho. I drill a lot so my pockets get metal shavings in them...right now I use a freezer bag haha.

Any suggestions?
[One (M7) Accessories] Bigjim1488:
Phone is way to slippy and I have pretty big bear mittens so I don't want to take the chance
[One (M7) Accessories] dmancini:
I went commando for a little over a week with no problems. Decided to get the HTC flip case. It's easy enough to remove when the added bulk is going to be a hinderance. Just don't let them convince you that it works as a kickstand. Unless you are using it as one for literally 3 seconds.
[One (M7) Accessories] gunnyman:
I go commando unless I'm going to be out and about for a while.

Yesterday I had a shock, when my naked phone fell from about 2 feet up face down onto a linoleum floor. NOT a scratch, so this thing is durable.

My only complaint,if you can call it that, about this phone is the chamfered edges get nicks in them rather easily.I have a couple of nicks in mine at the top
[One (M7) Accessories] krazyflipj:
Going commando for now. Waiting for the HTC Kickstand case to come out
[One (M7) Accessories] avplaya:
I tried it for a few days but I tend to drop stuff so I still got a very slim hard plastic clear case. It's the same way I feel about my MBP. In fact I think I see my One like a mini MBP. Funny how that works... an Android phone which looked like it should have been made by Apple.
[One (M7) Accessories] erniev:

[One (M7) Accessories] ihavoc:
No case for me but I did order the zagg invisible shield for the back it comes with the screen protector but not going to put it on for 2 reasons. First gorilla glass and second the issue with capacitive touch problems with screen protectors. I figure the zagg will protect from scratches increase grip and still show the phone off.

[One (M7) Accessories] chivamex10:
The only thing I'm considering is a screen protector for the back. This phone was not designed to be covered up in some cheap plastic IMO.
[One (M7) Accessories] irockash:
Poetic Atmosphere? Could you post pictures? I have/maybe have one on order if the cancellation went through. I saw another post about poor quality so I'm wondering. I did order a Flipbook from them that should arrive this week, so maybe that will help me with the decision. I'd would ideally like a pouch, but am leery about buying from Etsy and haven't seen much on any other website?
[One (M7) Accessories] AndrewAmazed:
Very true and I loved the feel in my hands but the phone sort of slipped out of my hands the other day and got a few nicks. gahhh definitely have to be careful if you're gonna go commando as I have to say I am quite sad but there isn't much I can do about it now.
[One (M7) Accessories] HYE_TECH:
The phone is too gorgeous for a case but I know how I get when I get a ding. I try not to put a case on my phones but idiotic stuff happens to me.

I had a one x+ that I didn't get a case for, doing great until it fell off the couch onto the carpet trimming. Punctured a "mic" sized hole in the polycarbonate. Annoyed the **** out of me so I decided to trade someone for a lesser device, the Galaxy S3 which I also went commando. 4 days later, it slipped out my hand and right onto the bathroom floor, shattered the glass into pieces.

**** happened for a reason, that's how I got this lovely One and added insurance.

I got a clear case from eBay made by imak. This way I can still see the aluminum but I also use a black leather flip case. I always have my phone in my pocket and I'm always banging that part while I'm working and I get paranoid that I'll dent or even crack the screen

I'm gonna stop using the cases and just start using a leather sleeve like this one from Etsy.com so I can carry my 2 cards and just slip my phone in. The one feels so darn good in the hand when it's not in a case.

The ones on etsy are nice as hell but some are pretty expensive. I'm actually going to order the leather pouch so I can still protect it when I'm not using it but I can still have it without a case when I do just slip it out.

I had a full body on it but I ended taking off the back protector because it made the rear glossy and I didn't like that.

[One (M7) Accessories] Kedgez:
This is the sleeve which I just received earlier this afternoon. I've yet to test with a HTC One because I have not purchased mine. However, I've tested with my HTC Desire HD and it fits snugly into the sleeve. The price is decent and it is definitely a quality sleeve with strong stitches by the sides of the sleeve.

Source: http://www.etsy.com/listing/120795481/htc-one-one-x-case-cover-sleeve-felt

I also placed an order for this case: http://www.etsy.com/listing/1258103...?ref=shop_home_active&ga_search_query=htc+one

This second one is pricey but it exudes class and premium quality. One that complements the gorgeous design of the HTC One. User reviews of the same type of sleeve for other smartphones agrees that this handmade sleeve has amazing quality and feel. I self-justified the price by dividing the total price (US$63.90) by the number of months until the end of my current contract (13 mths) and that equals to about US$5 per mth which is pretty cheap considering the quality. :D
[One (M7) Accessories] nrkid9:
Is it actually preferable to have a pouch with this type of phone? I always found it cumbersome to have to take the phone out f the sleeve before using it. I ordered a case for my One but it's really hard to decide whether or not to put it on because of the nicely cut aluminum body.
[One (M7) Accessories] 916Coolness:
I've gone commando with my black one so far and nothing so far and have you seen the tests on the screen no point for a protector if I get a case it will be the spigen clear case to not take away from how sexy it is
[One (M7) Accessories] Kedgez:
Finally managed to take some shots of the sleeve. Hard to replicate the exact grey colour being used. What I see on screen is different from what I see in real life.

I want to go commando now after having my otterbox commuter case on for the last 2 weeks, not sure what I would go with just yet but I'm leaning more towards a pouch.
[One (M7) Accessories] stevedebi:
I have a defender, which I really like, but I too am going to go with a smaller TPU case along with a PDAir belt pouch, which I ordered from Amazon.

I don't know about the commuter, but the defender comes with a belt holder; the defender snaps into it. It's quite convenient, but I just really want more of the "one" experience and less bulk.
[One (M7) Accessories] CaliCal:
too nice to have a case and haven't seen one i really like. gone commando, if anything it will be an invisible shield.
[One (M7) Accessories] marv_in_lbc:
Sort of commando...

Zagg InvisiShield Full Body - only using the shield for the back, not the screen protector.

Do the full body protectors protects the edges ?

[One (M7) Accessories] midgaze:
Why would you buy a phone with an aluminum body and smooth oleo-phobic glass touch screen and wrap it in plastic? Do you intend to actually use the thing or just keep it cloistered away in a safe filled with nitrogen somewhere?

Yes, I'm going commando. Phone slips in and out of my pocket smoothly. The aluminum will probably get a little dinged up in the next couple years but I expect it to hold up better than my SGS2 did. Keys and change don't scratch glass, but sand does. As long as you keep sand/dirt/grit away from your screen it will stay nearly perfect in your pocket.
[One (M7) Accessories] jags_the1:
Thanks for repeating what has been said atleast billions of times.
[One (M7) Accessories] Rippley05:
Why do you worry so hard about what other people want to do with their phone? It doesn't hurt you, so what? Your opinion on what should be done with the phone is yours, not the end all be all, sorry.

I will give you an example tho. I build crane trucks for a living. It involves a hell of a lot of drilling. My pockets stay full of metal shavings...that will most definitely scratch the "oleo-phobic glass" and "aluminum body". Maybe I want to seal it up for work and strip it down away from work. Is that ok with you? :rolleyes:
[One (M7) Accessories] stevedebi:
That seems to be a harsh environment, how do you plan to protect your One?
