People seem to forget that the One S was marketed as the mid-range phone between the One V and the One X. If you buy a mid-range phone and expect more than one major update (in this case, it was ICS to JB), then you're out of your mind. If you want more than one major update, buy the flagship, not the mid-range.
[One (M7) General] bbedward:
Yeah but do you really think there's a 4.3 build for sense? Its a GE build.
[One (M7) General] paniro187:
Uh what HTC phone or any android phone top shelf flagship whatever you want yo call it, got two major updates?.......
[One (M7) General] blackroseMD1:
Galaxy SII went from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean.
[One (M7) General] godutch:
The sgs2 started with 2.3.and now has 4.2.2

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Price wise it was not midrange. It was around 30 euros cheaper than the hox and more expressive than many other flagships but besides that HTC promised it would keep the device updated so they should.
[One (M7) General] blackroseMD1:
It was still marketed as the middle phone though, not as a high end or flagship phone. I agree that HTC should deliver on their promise. Actually, they probably shouldn't have promised in the first place.
[One (M7) General] biffsmash:
I've never seen a company promise anything, and I doubt I ever will.
[One (M7) General] Syn Ack:
Don't know if this has been answered or not, but Google issued a bold statement basically requiring all manufacturers to provide the latest OS support for a minimum of 18 months after the device's launch date. Very few have broken this rule, and this being the biggest and best phone to ever happen to HTC, they will give it the love and support that it needs and people demand of it.
[One (M7) General] T5BRICK:
Does it really matter if HTC has an official update or not? The community seems to have some pretty good ROMs out there...

Maybe I'm still too new to this whole Android thing.
[One (M7) General] tiny4579:
I don't see the big deal with the update to 4.3 either. I mean it has improved bluetooth support (AVRCP 1.3, and Bluetooth 4.0 support), and probably (not confirmed) a lot of bug fixes.

On a serious note, I don't see the excitement for an HTC update but we kind of need the HTC update without a leak in order to get the Google Edition 4.3. I don't know if HTC will do this but if it has the bluetooth changes from AOSP instead of using the old bluetooth stack that can help out AOSP ROMs a lot along with allow overall improved and newer bluetooth support from CAF (team that does Qualcomm patches).
[One (M7) General] :
I got the DE so I could put whatever ROM on there I wanted. How many custom 4.2.2 ROMs do we have already? If I was getting a phone solely for regular stock updates I would have just bought an iphone and been stuck with a regulat once-a-year locked down ios update.
[One (M7) General] T5BRICK:
A vast majority of the users out there have absolutely NO interest in any of those things. I mean, it not a BAD thing if the OS gets updated, but is it really that much of a deal breaker if it isn't?
[One (M7) General] lojak29:
Gs2 was and still is a snazzy phone... I don't mind it as a back up...

As far as all these arguments are concerned.... Is it that big of a deal to weigh out the issue ....using a 600$ phone for a year and just say f*** it and drop another 600 the following year for the next latest and greatest ... Instead of trying to make a phone that outdstes itself in 6 months last. As if a 4.3 update will make it up to par regardless of any update.... It equates to roughly saving $1.67a day 613$ phone with tax for a year to get yourself the next best phone out.It's all about the hardware features these days ... No amount of software updates will make a old phone equivalent to the latest tech savy Devices...we've yet to see.

4.2.2 to 4.3 is a waist .
[One (M7) General] postfatal:
Cool, that means they have a working 4.3 ROM and Kernel for the HTC One, we are probably just waiting on a Sense update now.
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
When it first came out on T-mobile, it was the carrier's poster child. There was no better phone available on contract. The specs were almost the same as the One X.

Also, to those who think we should "be happy."

We would be happy if we hadn't paid $600 for our devices. When we pay that kind of money for something that's gonna be replaced in 2-3 years, we expect nothing less than perfectness.
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
The One S is and never was HTC's flagship.

Google provides the ROM, HTC provides the kernel to make sure everything's working and working well.
[One (M7) General] fundj112:
I never worry abt phone updates as i am a member of xda-developers,we had custom ROM's
[One (M7) General] teiva:
The HTC One for me has been the most stable android phone I've used. As soon as someone comes out with a workable multi boot option (like safestrap on the Motorola RAZR) so I can have a choice of multiple roms on my phone, I'll root it. I look forward to the 4.2.2 & 4.3.1 releases as long as they are as stable as 4.1.2.
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
I'm not too sure they said that about the One S, maybe the One X?

[One (M7) General] tiny4579:
I thought HTC built both and Google is just promoting it. If Google had built it, it'd be in pure AOSP style without an outdated Bluetooth stack and some sense framework. No I don't think you're correct about Google doing the OS here. Do you have evidence?

Also sense the kernel and ROM have some interdependencies, then it makes more sense for the same group to work on both.
[One (M7) General] Aerys:
Both companies take care of the system.Not just Google not just HTC.

[One (M7) General] blackroseMD1:
Well, you asked me to name one phone...

I'd be willing to bet that the One gets a few updates. I consider 4.1 to 4.2 a major update because of all the changes involved. We'll definitely get that, and possibly 4.3 too, although that seems like a minor update. I'd be pretty shocked if we didn't get 4.4 or 5.0 or whatever is next. With phone hardware getting better all the time, the only reason for companies not to push updates is cost and/or wanting to force people to buy new phones.

[One (M7) General] paniro187:
Wow 4.1 to 4.3 woooohooooo
[One (M7) General] :
I agree with Southeast Asia guy... So many whiners. The HTC One is the most perfect phone ever made in stock form, I personally do not care whether it gets OTA updates or not... If version number is all you care about, go load a custom rom... The quality demanding users like myself are already very happy. Complaining to HTC is annoying, it also makes XDA look bad, like a gang of spoiled first world children instead of a developers forum.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
In case you hadn't realised this yet, software numbering systems are arbitrary and often change pace significantly throughout their lifetime. Look at the linux kernel around v 2.6, do you think any less work went in to all the 2.6 releases compared with 2.2 to 2.4? Do you think orders more magnitude of work has gone into v3 from 3.0 to 3.10 in around what, a year?
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
+1. Back when updates came with ui changes and huge benefits I would actually go crazy waiting and looking for any info. Back when froyo was announced I began getting into forums wondering when my device would get updated. Then came GB and ICS and jb with their own ui beauties. Now I think android is at a pont where stability is more important than ui changes. I agree with this post. Just in the three phones I've owned this past year and a half all that people would talk abiut and obsess over where updates updates updates. And when updates came, a new thread would take its place with the next theorized android version speculations and people whining there. I quit xda for a good few months before something else brought me back. With the HTC one in could also care less about updates. The phone makes calls wonderfully, has a good os which runs the majority of the alps ibuse and uses them well. So I ask, aside from the needy technical "benefit" what else is an ota going to do for everyone's life who are here everyday.
[One (M7) General] jashsu:
The problem with discontinued system updates isn't the effect it has on users on XDA (who have no problems rooting and installing something like CM). It's the effect it has on the mainstream user. Keep in mind that once updates cease, that doesn't just mean UI updates stop, it also means security updates stop.

Really, think things through.
[One (M7) General] FanDroid09:
Honestly I'd be totally cool with HTC skipping the 4.3 update and working on getting KLP out as soon as possible. Because you know it'll have dropped by the time they come anywhere close to getting 4.3 out anyways.
[One (M7) General] kayone73:
HTC isn't going to get KLP out before the vanilla android version is released first. What is the rush? Why have HTC rush and release an inadequately tested and developed version of their own KLP too early just to give fodder for internwt denizens to ***** about?

I'm pretty confident I don't have a terminal illness and will probably live to see next year. I can wait and let them take their time.

[One (M7) General] rudyy:
Sorry if I'm missing something, but it almost sounds like no one is on 4.3 but me. I got the OTA three days ago, and my phone came with 4.2.2 installed.
[One (M7) General] The Project:
How about using the correct thread?
[One (M7) General] MisterRich:
I picked up 4.3 the day it came out, but I did have to use that "work around" Airplane mode, clear data, restart method. It worked the 3rd-4th time around, failed the update in recovery, but, magically got it right the 2nd time around. My co-workers ( Who I converted over to GPe ) worked perfectly on the first try. Just kind of depends. I wasn't in a rush as the 4.3 update radio jerked my LTE signal here in Alaska. Hopefully there's things to look forward to with KLP this October...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Hey guys. I recently had my Atrix 2 soft brick on me. I can (and have) search this site and google on how to use RSD Lite or "MacGyver" it. But the only processes that I am seeing in performing myself all leads to flashing it first. Now to my knowledge, that simply means that I will be wiping the thing clear and instal a new ROM (either stock or custom). But does that mean that I can't access the data thats still there before its formatted? I think I still have contacts on there that I still need to get off. Any info you can give will be appreciated. Thanks guys, later.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Contacts? you know google backs them up right?

But either way, only thing you can do is get crap off your sdcard. data on phone, is gone if not backed up to the cloud or sdcard.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Yeah, I never did that cloud stuff. I was weary of where my information went out to since I had no idea where this "cloud" was (yeah, I'm one of those people). But anyway, gone...? What if I MacGyver the battery to get it to charge enough? I should at least be able to turn it on at that point. I just need it on long enough to get the information to my SD card. What do you think? Thanks man.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
depending on what you did to "brick" your phone, it might be possible to fix it w/o FXZ'in back.

But if you must FXZ, and cant boot the phone, your SOL. sorry man.

IMHO, In this day and age, your gonna have to use the cloud. New devices are all leaning that way. Look at it like a safety measure incase crap like this happens.

break phone, crap is gone, SDcard screws up, all your pictures and files are gone.

The times of storing contacts on SIM cards is long and gone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Well, I really didn't do anything wrong. I was working real late with it trying to get an app to coralate with my phone and my tablet. Just let it run out of batteries, and since I was busy, I figured I could charge it back later. Little did I know it wouldn't turn back on again. I am attempting to charge it manually right now, but if that doesn't work, then my last resort will be to take it somewhere locally to try to bring it back. Unless there is someone on the boards here that does a repair over local screen control (logmein.com type thing) (um, anyone on here does that? I had a guy work on my tablet once the same way). Thanks man for you're help.

Edit: Due to my n00bness, I realize that this thread has mutated into something that should go into the "Think you bricked your phone?" thread. Apologies.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
So your phone just died?

What happens when you attempt to charge it? With a wall charger, not usb.

Do you get the led lit up?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Alright, so heres my story. I own two different batteries for my phone. One that came with it that I think I fried the life on it by charging it with an USB OTG (I used it as my entertainment system at the time). The other one I got at batteries+Plus. That was the one I have been using currently. With my newest battery (Batteries+Plus) attached to my phone, I can get it to my "M" splash screen and freeze when I plug it in to the wall. That one I have to work at getting AP Flash on, but I can get that open. It gives me the dreaded "Battery Low - Cannot program" sign. And oddly enough it doesn't give me a selection screen like it usually does, I have been trying to charge that battery manually and checking it with a voltage meter. It seems that its not holding the charge correctly. So I then theres my old battery (that came with the phone). With that attached, I can get past the "M" screen to the "AT&T" splash screen before it freezes. That I don't really have to work hard to get to the AP Flash recovery while plugged into the wall. It is really no help either. I can connect it to my laptop and it says that its USB Transfer ready (but I can't get that with the other battery). They both start the splash screen immediately when I plug it into the wall, I haven't had my phone brick on me like this, so I hope I'm making some kind of sense. Thanks for listening to my story man.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Just flash the system partition only.

You have to have some command line skills, which is not hard...

1) get your phone back to being charged.

2) get the phone into fastboot mode.

3) connect your A2 to your computer

4) download the correct fxz file for your region.

5) unzip the fxz and save the system.img file in same dir you have the android SDK installed in

6) run cmd.exe

7) cd to the directory you unzipped the fxz system.img file to, from the command line

8) run the following:

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

That should save all your data, since it is stored in /data and not /system.

That should save you from a bootloop if you were on stock, if not you are kind of SOL, unless you can do some install script hacking to only flash /system for the ROM you are on without clearing /data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Oh, alright, because in order to flash your phone correctly you have to flash system.img, data.img, and (something else? I've seen it done in a video I just can't remember what it was) right? Alright, I should just google Atrix 2 AT&T USA SFZ and I should find my right one? Thanks for your help guys, I'm going to try to avoid taking it to a shop tomorrow.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Wait a second, sorry to ask another question. If I just update the system img, as you said, can I apply a Gingerbread kernel

and still have it operate the same, or should I find a matching ICS as it was on my phone? Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No you do not have to flash all the partitions. Since all your data sits in its own partition, you can save it by only flashing the system partition and not using RSD, which WILL erase the /data partition, which you want to keep.

I would advise you to take a backup of just your data and save it to your sdcard in case this happens again, if this works for you.

The fxz files are in the developer section or here:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php

You must know which region and version of android you were on before.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Yeah, no dice. I flashed the system.img and the boot.img and I still got the same thing. I guess I'll take it to some local store to see if they can do something to help recover it. Thanks for your help, and I guess that a "cloud" situation is a new reality I will have to consider. Thanks guys, later.

I'm sorry I'm on the road with no cpu to search properly.

My wife's g2 went dead... With the orange light staying on. This happened a month ago too.

Pulled battery.. Can't reboot.

The first time we just took the sim out and left it in a drawer for a week... And then randomly in the middle of the night it turned on and the alarm clock went off at the time she set it for... Then it worked for 2 weeks.

Last night dead again with orange light on.

Battery is charged but when plugged in the green light won't come on if I plug it in.. Same as before.

Vol down and power or any combo does nothing... Any idea how to turn it on?

You could also try simply getting the unlocking tool from this thread and follow the directions. The larger download in the thread I first linked uses the exact same method, but it has a ton of other tools and lets you install cwm or twrp as well.

Also, you could try to use safestrap, which allows you to install a ROM on a locked bootloader.

I have the 32GB black S 4 on AT&T. Starting just 4 or 5 days ago, my battery has drained within the span of 6 hours or so. I figured out that it happened every time I used Google Maps, not any other app. When I turn GPS off in the quick settings and completely close the app (using the recent apps menu), the GPS still runs in the background. The only way I can fix this is by restarting the device. I have turned off all the Location Settings for Maps, and have even uninstalled updates, but to no avail.

If I reflash the stock firmware using Odin, will it fix the issue (without losing data? What check boxes do I select?
