[AT&T HTC One (M7)] :
LOL wow guys really?

I've been royally screwed by AT&T so many times, them overcharging me, accidentally adding services and removing services to my account, charging me for a replacement sim when my calls would drop and would still charge me every single time to swap out a sim. When I had mobile insurance added to my account, I lost a phone, paid the deductible and they STILL would send my "reconditioned" phones that have flaws, scratches, issues. Took multiple devices before I got a half decent working one. Assurion is a POS company, honestly. Those who are PMSing over my post, seriously? You've never in your entire life lied, or done something for your personal gain? Against an organization or group that gains and benefits more from you? I really hope that all of you who're preaching ethics to me, really do live a righteous, sin-free life on a regular basis.

When I traded the S4 for the HTC One I did not know it had issues or broken. If I had a perfect working phone why would I want to go through this hassle?

Also...I pay for mobile insurance, if I wanted to take them on a ride and screw them over I could have claimed my device lost or broken and asked for a replace for the deductible of $199. MANY colleagues and people I know have done this. I didnt go that route.

1. In the past when I traded phones on craigslist, friends, family, etc. ATT would give me a tough time about it, Idk if this happened to anyone else or just my bad luck. They would ask me 100s of questions about what, why, how etc. I did not feel like dealing with that. I didnt like the S4 and hated touchwiz.

2. I didnt steal from them or not pay for anything. One of their reps told me to keep the other refurbished model as a spare, I didnt suggest it or as for it. They messed up, so I guess they felt like making up for it.

3. Yes HTC would take 14 days to send me back my device I send to them, all the while I would be phoneless. Dealing with AT&T was the best way to ensure I'd atleast be able to make and take calls in the mean time while this situation got worked out.

4. The original iPhone 5 I paid for I bought without an upgrade and paid full price of $500+, so I'm pretty sure they made so much money off me lol.

5. The new tax of 60 something cents to each customers phone bill will more than pay for a measly half broken HTC One

6. I've been grandfathered into their Unlimited Data plan and when I used to go above 2 gb or 3gb they would restrict my speeds and Bottleneck me every single time

7. To the idiot that said mentality like this gets us into recession? Lol really? I pay for the service with money I work for and want a working device.

8. The reason I had to raise my voice and yell at the reps was because they refused to let me return the defective device and wanted me to just live with it or try a different phone instead. They refused to admit that AT&T and Assurion's quality control with their "refurbished"/"reconditioned"/"like new" devices have flaws and aren't tested out properly before shipping out to customers.

He was trying to get his faulty device replaced or fixed.

Thank you for providing the definition and proving yourself wrong.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pbp8ntballer:
Well, clearly what I wrote has had you confused on my intended message. This may be a fault of mine; I meant that in a hindsight sort of observation, not in a "derp what an idiot for not just waiting, derp waited a whole month, derp." The last bit most likely threw it off, which I apologize. I meant that in a way where it made sense that the karma comment I wrote before worked itself in.

So yes, I should have clarified on what I've written. However, I'll also add that you shouldn't generalize when posting. I use my phone every single day, but if I'm having issues with it (plus, given AT&T reputation), I would have much rather sent in my HTC One to the manufacturer and waited out the 14 days to have it in working order. This is just my personal view on it, but it clearly differs from your generalization that "anyone who uses their phone on a daily basis would take the later".

I think you've missed the point on what people, like myself, were complaining about OP's post. I don't really care about whether or not he committed fraud, it's more about the fact he came on here to brag about it. Kind of ruins the experience here at XDA. But hey, I guess this is what happens when you check out General Discussion for the first time.

Again, I should have clarified my comment. NO, I did NOT expect OP to know that he would have to wait a month for a working phone. My comment was to be taken as a hind-sight observation. However, nothing I wrote at all is "bordering on troll-worthy". If you really knew what trolling was, you'd know that nothing that I wrote comes even close to what may be "close to being troll-worthy".

Now, it's time to abandoned this thread. I put my two cents in and I'm reminded as to why I stopped adding my input into internet discussions. Peace everyone!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Yeah I wonder sometimes how the enterprise customer care folks come to wield such power in my favor simply for my asking very nicely. The only time I ever yelled at att was when they accidentally deleted my account and I woke up one day to no reception on my Kaiser. I freaked and did troubleshooting all the way up to and including ruu to stock before calling. They got it working again but misconfigured my account to pay per mb data instead of the old pdaunltd. I ran up $3,000 in data before they called about it. That's when I yelled, came within an hour of phoning my attorney to do battle with the giant company's legions of lawyers before they caved and gave me $3,500 credit on the account to cover the data and 6 months free service, plus a touch pro 2 overnighted to me ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] side808:
It is not IRRELEVANT... Why didn't he simply say that he bought it from a guy on craigslist... Simple. Well maybe not to simple for you to understand...

AND yes he is supposed to just accept the phone and be happy. If not, then send it in to HTC to get it fixed under warranty. He acquired it USED from craigslist. Regardless if it was never used, he could never tell it if was or wasn't.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

YOU yourself stated that he lied about how he acquired the phone. This resulted in a personal and financial gain. Do you really not know how to comprehend the word fraud...

i am done with you

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

addressing the bold parts from top to bottom;

You do know by saying this you are insinuating that you indeed lied, cheated, deceived and committed fraud against AT&T right?

Of course you didn't know that the phone didn't have issues. You obviously didn't check it thoroughly at the time of the trade. And the fault is your own.

Of course you didn't go that route. You didn't want to pay the deductible. You wanted a brand new phone!

Yes dealing with AT&T is easier than sending your phone to HTC to get fixed so why yell at them? They are trying to fix YOUR problem...

Please explain how they messed up? By sending you a refurbished phone in replacement for the current refurbished phone that you already had? The phone that you traded a person on CL at your own risk for?

SO you are trying so justify the extra charge for your lying, cheating and fraud... ok. if it makes you feel better...

Go back and read what YOU wrote. When you initially called YOU said that YOU *****ED at the reps for having a faulty phone. As it were their fault.

i am also done with you...

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] stefan.buddle:
He did lie about where the differnet phone came from, either way he did say it was a different phone, ley words being DIFFERENT and PHONE.

so lets recap this

1.OP lied about how he got the different phone

2.OP told the truth that he had a different phone

3.ATT screwed up and sent him a replacement

4.OP *****ed at ATT for sending several defective replacements

5.Rinse repeat 3+4 about 6 times

6.ATT finally sent him an acceptable replacement and told him to keep the spare one

go ahead and break that down to show how the OP committed fraud.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] side808:
1. Lied about how he had his original HTC ONE back in his possession.

2. Gained a BRAND NEW HTC ONE in place of his refurb. ONE that he obtained from CL AND gained an additional HTC ONE in the process.

If you do not know what the meaning of the word fraud is i suggest you google it and study it hard. It's really hard believing I'm not on some elementary school forum with all these people not knowing what the meaning of the word fraud is...

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] stefan.buddle:
So like I said, he liead about where he got his phone from, told them it was from his "uncle", got a new phone and a backup.

You could have simply said I was correct instead of quoting me to say the same thing I did.

Fraud:

Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

Lying about where he got his phone isnt fraud. The fact he got a new htc one and an extra one to keep were all collateral benefits and couldn't have been calculated beforehand

stop crying about it, he won, att lost, world keeps spinning, att keeps raping us all on our bill. nothing has changed
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rahtrip:
lol ... some of the people here and arguments here are dumb as hell ... seriously ... the guy pays for the service and paid for the original phone and everything ... OOO big deal he lied about the phone origin .. so what? he didnt steal it ... quiet down guys ... theres bigger things in the world to worry about ... the same idiots that try to preach to others about being rightful, i bet u idiots do immoral and unethical things atleast once a week .. lol .. stfu and just support a common man winning against a billion dollar corp that doesnt give 2 sh*ts about their customers ... i bet there is uproar over ppl misusing the 50% off phones deal that some people abused lol ...

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] iMammoth:
Same predicament here!

I called HTC though because my HTC Ones bottom Mic pooped out on me already!

All it does is make loud static sounds when I try to call people... I can't call (purpose of a damn phone in the first place), make video (unbearable static sound), or voice recordings...

I too traded my S4 for my current One and it was fine until roughly 2.weeks after the Mic broke.

As stated above I called HTC and am planning on sending it to get repaired and just use my GS3 for the meantime.

I'm scared they are going to question me because it specifically states that the warranty only applies to the original owner of the device (seriously read the HTC warranty paper packaged with the One).

The phone fell off my lap into the side of the my seat in my car and hit a metal beam/rod and dinged up the bottom left corner so this also worries me that it will "void" my HTC warranty.

What do you guys think?

Also if I were to send it in to AT&T (I have insurance as well) do they require the box? I've seemed to misplaced it (FML).

Any thought or suggestions are welcome.

I know HTC doesn't require the phone box.

Thanks everyone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rahtrip:
Just call ATT and tell them your predicament. You dont need the original box or etc. Just the device itself. You have insurance so nothing to worry about. Tell them it took a minor fall in the car. That should help you. If not, say whatever you have to, to get a new phone or replaced. It does say you have to be the original owner of the Phone, if anything do what the OP did and say you traded within the family or it was a gift. Once you get the replacement put it through a battery of tests, since it will be your daily driver; download "Dead Pixel Test" and go into a very dark room and go to the black screen, check every inch of the screen for dead pixels. Then when on the white screen check for yellow blotches and color/light leakage. Then download any Vibration app to test out the vibration and listen for any rattle or lousy vibration sounds. Play music to test out the speakers. Test out the camera and flash. Download "Phone Tester" to make sure the screen sensitivity, and other sensors on the phone are working properly. Whatever you do just dont mention it here like the OP did, some dumbasses here freak out over the little things and start calling you frauds and pledge that never in their life have they broken a law, lied, or gone against big multi billion dollar corporations. LOL ... but goodluck man! Hope everything works out.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] casez923:
att did the same thing to me they sent me a replacement phone and told me i didnt have to send the other phone back.. i recorded the rep saying this cause i knew it would come back to haunt me. a month later they charged me 300 dollars for a phone that they never received back. It took me 3 months to get them to drop the 300 dollars off my bill. att sucks.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] whitetiger_0603:
Wait, so let me get this frigging straight: SO THEY CAN DO AN OVRRIDE TO SEND OUT A BRAND NEW PHONE INSTEAD OF THEIR "CERTIFIED LIKE NEW" CRAP?!!

Totally not apologizing for the caps cause now I'm pissed. When i originally called about getting a warranty replacement, it was indicated that i'd get their "like new"/refurbished device. i was vehement about not receding a refurbished considering I paid for a brand new phone and expected to receive such. The warranty department manager, Frank, assured me I'd be very satisfied with my replacement. Low and behold, I get a replacement that wa defective: the volume rocker was VERY loose and not flush. So when I contacted them again, I got Frank, again. And wanna know what that clown did to me? Not a damned thing. In other words, he didn't order my second replacement like he said he would and i sat back waiting a week wondering where my phone was, afraid that it got put in the mailbox and then stolen, cause that's how AT&T rolls. Sending out $600 phones via USPS, no sig required, packaged so loosely in the box that one good drop and it'd be toast. T-mobile doesn't do that. Phones are put in a box fitted sleeve so they don't move around and they're delivered 2 day shipping Fed Ex or UPS, sig required.

I'm working with the second replacement and so far it's fine. I contacted them a 3rd time and refused to talk to warranty department. It should not be legal for any company to be able to give you a "refurbished replacement" and then pretty much kick you in the teeth by saying that your warranty does not get extended with the replacement. That's BS and if it weren't for T-mos crappy signal and AT*T monopolizing the greater New Orleans area, we'd still be with the magenta team right now cause we had unlimited data and paid $120 a month as opposed to over $160, WITH a 20% discount that only applies to the main part of the account for a data cap of 4 gigs.. I hate AT&T with a passion and I'm pissed that we're stuck with them for 2 years.

So good on you for screwing those bastards over. honestly, I'd do the same damned thing.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
I understand you don't like at&t but stop being such an a-hole about everyone that doesn't support fraud.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Newcron:
Bad phone is bad phone. Back in 2010 I received a brand new phone for a warranty exchange (because the original died of overheating under 30 days) and not only this brand new replacement had dead pixels, it ended up dead again in two months (for a different reason). My second replacement was a refurbished phone (it looks pristine and brand new, in a white box with no accessories) and this one ended up being perfect for 2.5 years until I traded it in. Not a single problem.

I understand why you think it's important to get a brand new, untouched phone (I used to think this myself) as a warranty replacement. But trust me, if it's a bad item then it'll fail anyway, regardless of whether you got it brand new or refurbished.

This teaches you to man up and pay full price for your phones. You have every right to be pissed for getting a device failed on you and you had to waste your time to go through all kinds of crap to get it replaced, but the only reason the bolded happen is because you let them seduce you with subsidized price. Hopefully that's a lesson learned.

Without even addressing the actual arguments put forth in this thread, and not even addressing all of the flame and puerile language here, this thread has nothing to do with the HTC One.

Three options:

1) use a different URL for the mobile version, and point the phone at that.

2) modify the web app to recognize the WP8 user agent strings as mobile, even when not in "mobile" mode.

3) customize the user-agent header that the browser control uses to identify as mobile.

Or a fourth, if the browser control is the majority of the app's functionality:

4) make a real app, not just a thin wrapper around a web page; people tend to hate those.

Hi, if possible how can I change directory in a terminal window in ubuntu using a short command such as 'croot' instead of using 'cd ~/android/system' ??
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
not sure what "croot" is? You mean "chroot root:root /to/destination?" "cd ~/ take your logins home folder. You can always cd / for root or cd /etc /bin /sbin or whatever root subfolder from anywhere. but i am unaware of any true short cuts.

hope that helps,

If the bash stuff is equal to Ubuntu Desktop systems you can do something like this:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
I have tried searching many different queries but cannot find exactly what I'm looking for. I found the hippowise method, however that doesn't seem very friendly for CM nightly flashers; more of a solution for stock owners who don't plan on flashing new ROMs. From what I gathered, this seems like what I have to do, but I'm very unsure

Things I am SURE of:

Flash 0.33 radio or older

Edit build.prop (but not exactly sure how to make an init.d script to do this for every nightly flash)

echo telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1 >> /system/build.prop

Configure APN

Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6

I am UNSURE if I need to do the following:

Edit build.prop with these edits:

echo "ro.telephony.default_network=9" >> /system/build.prop
echo "ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9" >> /system/build.prop

found here

Flash audio fix for using 4.2.2 nightly with radio older than 0.48 (and if so, is there a way to automate this fix via init.d script?)

found here

Edit apns-conf.xml

Edit snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 (i think this is the audio fix?)

I am also aware that there are unofficial CM nightly builds with all of the LTE stuff preconfigured, however I want the freedom of downloading any CM nightly and having it just work. Could anyone please shed some light on the items I am unsure of?

EDIT: Solved, see post #9

Go to the Nexus 4 General Forum. Look for the thread about ALL LTE. Over to the right there will be a paperclip. Click that paperclip and all your flashable zips will pop up in a menu.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Thanks but I wasn't asking for where to find the modifications, just need to know which ones I need in my case. And FWIW the only flashable zips that showed up in that pop up menu is the cwm-mako-NoAudioFixForTMobileUSA.zip, which I already mentioned, and mako-LTE-enabler.zip, which just does the build.prop edit that I mentioned plus some things that I don't think are necessary for CM (?).

After looking at the script inside mako-LTE-enabler.zip, I am unsure if I need some additional edits (added to OP)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsckedagain:
Well, if it were me I would do this.

Flash ROM

Flash GApps

Flash Radio (if needed)

Flash LTE enabler

Boot up, pick LTE APN, make sure you are set to LTE/GSM (auto) and make a phone call to make sure you have audio. If yes, party on. If no, flash TMo audio fix and try again. Once you do it one time, you will know what to do the next nightly you flash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Rather than blindly flashing things on a trial and error basis, I'd like to know which things I fundamentally need to do given that I am using CM night lies. mako-LTE-enabler.zip does nothing to address apns-conf.xml, which was one of my original questions. Does this need to be addressed on CM?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t989BeLikeItDo:
I can't offer you an answer to your specific question, but maybe you'd like to use this solution:

I'm currently running my Nexus 4 with the Unofficial CM 10.1 LTE nightly. I flashed the .33 radio and the only thing I changed was removing the APN user/pass in the APN settings.

The only difference between the Official CM 10.1 release and this unofficial one is that user negroplasty cherry-picked to automatically enable LTE and changed the dictionary to include censored words.

You might still have to go into *#*#INFO#*#* and change your settings to LTE/GSM (prl), but other than that everything is included in the ROM.
