I'm surprised there hasn't been more information released about this device. It almost seems like Google and HTC have been completely silent since the initial announcement...strange.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
What information? It's the same device pretty much
[One (M7) General] hello00:
whoever gets it?
[One (M7) General] mikereidis:
Nobody ever KNOWS for sure until we get some in our hands.

The realities of manufacturing tend towards having fewer variants and HTC devices have generally been a good example of this.

Google COULD possibly save a few cents per phone by omitting the IR transmitter.

IF Google went through the IMO EXTRA expense of disabling the FM radio antenna pin, I will call them Evil. That said, they might save a penny or 2 by omitting a coil and a capacitor or 2 in that area.

No guarantee, but I think that statements made so far indicate the hardware should be the same as the AT&T version, and that the Google ROMs should work on carrier sourced phones.
[One (M7) General] mikereidis:
This Google edition may not be as popular as we may think. Here on this thread almost nobody is indicating intent to buy, just to flash existing phones.

I can't find it now, but read an article yesterday about the surprising silence and lack of hype, especially after all the criticism directed at Google for lack of Android updates, fragmentation etc. Points include:

- US only.

- GSM only.

- $600. Much more expensive than Nexus 4 and much more than the so called "$200" highest-end phones (on contract). Unfortunately, due to constant advertising, many Americans & Canadians have come to think that $200 is the proper, normal, fair price for the best phones. To them/us, $600 is just crazy.

One thing that worries me is what happened with the so called "AOSP for Sony Xperia S" that Sony started last year, but have now abandoned. I had thought that AOSP meant Google would take care of it. It turns out that it was a Sony run, experimental branch of AOSP. It never supported FM radio, or a few other special features in the stock ROMs.

We don't have much info yet about how exactly this "Google Experience" will work. Will Google do most or all of the software work, and will they support these phones as long as "True Nexus" devices are supported ? Or is this an HTC program that they might abandon when Android 5, 5.1 or 5.2 or whatever comes along ?
[One (M7) General] bbedward:
I agree.

The US market isn't really known for buying excessive amounts of unlocked unsubsidized phones. It's just how it is here - the international market is much different though I'm surprised they opted US-only (for now at least).

I have a feeling the GE sales will be much less than exceptional for both the S4 and One, just don't see that much hype.
[One (M7) General] thrawnTHX:
Not a chance. I never thought I'd say it but now with 5.0, Sense > vanilla Android. It feels more cohesive and far smoother than any manufacturer's skin to date.

Its the first time that i haven't felt the need to do extensive tinkering. This phone is the total package and i think the Google Edition will provide a much weaker user experience.
[One (M7) General] I Am Marino:
I still think any GE based ROM will have better battery and possible performance than any Sense ROM.

[One (M7) General] barkmarkin:
I REALLY REALLY Hope we can flash the Google Edition ROM to our sense based devices, I got an AT&T device (same as developers ed) and I really wanna use 4.2.2 without sense, And so far any AOSP rom has been buggy ish, and I will flash the GE rom soon as its released, then flash some roms here of course that'll be based off it ,I hope developers use the GE rom as a base and make it even better, now that they have an AOSP ROM thats made for this device by the manufacturer, I'm sure the ROM chef's here will cook out the bugs :D
[One (M7) General] :
The only phone I've ever held in my hands that came close to the smoothness of iphone transitions/animation was the nexus 4. many people don't see a difference, but I've never heard anyone say that sense is smoother than vanilla. i.e. one out of ten times the app drawer fade in/out animation stutters like it's still running gingerbread.

something else that makes my eyes want to puke: i've set my home to the screen next to blinkfeed, now everytime i unlock the phone, the notification bar turns grey and then transparent again. it's silly, it's such a small issue and a trivial thing, but i paid a lot of money and expect these things to work.

it's not even fully themed:

oh and one last thing. i want my equalizer back. seriously. beats audio sucks.
[One (M7) General] EddyOS:
I'm getting a One in the next month or so so should this come out over here in the UK I will definitely consider it, especially if we are able to switch between the stock ROM and Sense-based ones. I like the fact unlocking the bootloader will be a normal 'fastboot oem unlock' affair as oppsed to HTC Dev but seeing as we have S-OFF now it's not an issue other than being VERY easy!
[One (M7) General] Mad_Duke:
Well, there is a simple explanation. Probably 99% of people that read this part of the forum

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115

Already have the device. :) First time I came here (from the S2 part of the forum) was a day before buying. Call it "last minute development stage" checking. Also, wanted to know if some big bugs came along.
[One (M7) General] iLaurens:
Didn't HTC say they 'would look into the possibilities for early adapters'. So that's pretty much a promise that they won't let the early birds down.

[One (M7) General] agalvin13:
i already own the one so i will be flashing the AOSP goodness on my phone. It came way too late compared to the ATT version for me to buy one.
[One (M7) General] spitfire2425:
Maybe some dev could make a mod like with the LGog and have the phone repartition it's self completely to make it just like the GE if we can't just simply flash it. Also, it most likely won't use a ruu, it'll probably use the same kind of files as the current nexus devices.
[One (M7) General] BlitterTwisted:
Interesting. Agree that Sense 5 is in a different league to TouchWiz, and also that it's inconsistent and not well thought out. I think BlinkFeed and the app drawer are very nicely done, but I don't like how they've customised the look and feel of the settings screens, because in some apps you get to see the AOSP look and feel which is inconsistent. The most annoying feature of Sense to me that HTC have written their own base apps like Calendar and SMS, which are not as good as AOSP. Especially the calendar with it's stupid Agenda view that only shows one day of items. I had to install Google Calendar out of Play store, but then you get more inconsistencies.

I bought the HTC One because it looked like the phone to steal me away from my iPhone 5. Although I was impressed by it, I will not be keeping it over the iPhone.

Lag is still there in Android even after Project Butter. It is way better than it was, and I find the core OS very smooth but the apps are still laggy, mainly scrolling. It could be that the devs need to recompile apps against JB because there is the odd smooth app out there (The Verge) but most stuff like Press/eBay/Facebook/Chrome still have rough scrolling compared to an iPhone.

I think it's the best Android phone on the market by a long way, but personally it's still not quite enough to make me ditch the iPhone. I've owned WP7/7.5 and other Android devices in the past, so do not blindly choose Apple.
[One (M7) General] cschmitt:
Comparing lag in Android to iPhone? The IPhone crawls in that respect and not just in screen responsiveness, but overall app performance.
[One (M7) General] ratykat:
I'm wondering if they will do it like they did with the xoom?

When GE happened to the xoom, you could opt in and get the GE, including otas etc.

If HTC said they won't leave early adopters out, im thinking it might be a similar deal, due to different partitions etc.
[One (M7) General] BlitterTwisted:
Not many people hold that view. I am sat here with both side by side and can compare them. Since installing Android Revolution (JB4.2) the One does well and gets very close to the iPhone performance-wise but still can't do the silky smooth screen scrolling. It judders especially loading content for the scrolling list.
[One (M7) General] mikereidis:
So, if you're in the US and go here: https://play.google.com/store/devices?feature=corpus_selector

There is still no HTC One or Samsung GS4 visible ? No pre-orders or space fillers for now ?

Presumably some time tomorrow they should show up ?

If Google sells fewer than expected, maybe they'll sell outside the US sooner.

I wonder if we'll be able to get sales numbers for each eventually; I would not be surprised to see the HTC One Google edition sell better than the GS4.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
droid-life said it will be up at 9am PST.

google bought the phones from htc/samsung so its probably limited in quantities 25k-50k?
[One (M7) General] RaptorMD:
I would have waited an extra week for it IF, HTC had offered it in a 64GB version, they didn't so I got the Developer Edition and my expectation is we will either see HTC rollout a GE ROM for the DE phones and/or we will see some great Devs get to work on making it work for us anyways.

I don't know why are you using word 'leaked' as system image will be officially provided by Google once the phone is up for sale.
[One (M7) General] Paleryder:
Being that it is for sale tomorrow it is surprising that we haven't seen a LEAK prior to the release it goes without saying that once it is released to the public it is no longer a leak. As we eat, it is food but once it comes out the other end it is no longer food (at least for most!!!)

[One (M7) General] Huey85:
With what ROM though? The Google Edition ROM isn't released yet.

EDIT: BTW, I was inferring getting LTE working with the Google Edition ROM because the Google Edition is only going to be sold in the states (and Canada too, I believe, therefore LTE/4G radios are not the same). I wasn't talking about getting LTE working in general. I too have working LTE/4G out of the box on my 64gb model on Optus using TrickDroid/Viper/etc.

WAS there an info embargo, and are there any reviews out yet ?

Imagine a car customization process that changes or removes the seats, engine, transmission and electronics to create a new variant of an existing car.

Most people want a "normal" car. Some people want something stripped down in some areas, and re-built or re-imagined in others.

The closest "car analogy" I can give to update speed is a customizer (Google) possibly offering faster recall service.

From what we're hearing now about HTC (& Samsung) involvement, it remains to be seen if the "warranty period" will be any different. I guess when HTC says updates are over, Google has no say, updates are over. But carriers could deny the last update or 2, while HTC provides it directly, and that's a plus.

This thread has gotten spooky quiet, IMO since we found out HTC is in charge of updates.

So, I'm guessing sales will be low.

And if sales are low, HTC may not do many updates.

Yuck.

Oh, well, the One is still a fab phone, undeniably one of the best, stock or custom ROM'd. It's popular, well supported by the dev community and we have S-Off and DIY carrier SIM unlock, unlike the One X International for example.

The One is still tops to me and I'm happy to recommend it. (Just bought a Bell branded One this past week.)

If nothing else, any so called Nexus /Google Play Experience ROMs from HTC are one more alternative ROM choice, a base for some more ROMs and a source of firmware, libraries and whatever other useful files can be extracted.
