That's funny. All my coworkers are iPhone users and at least half are isheep. When I first upgraded to the One, they were full of negative comments (size,android,etc) until I stated that my phone looks identical to my macbook pro. I think they're finally seeing the beauty in it or maybe their scared to offend the macbook line.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I change between iPhone and android, and the One is the first android phone I've ever had where the build quality is as good or better than the iPhone. HTC built a beautiful phone, such a shame their brand recognition has lowered so much :(

I hope their fortunes turn around. I really do
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
If they keep doing what they are doing I don't see why not. Other than the camera issue the phone is all they said it would be.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] yojoe600:
This phone should help them a lot. This is the best phone I have ever had.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I'm on it right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I really do hope that HTC improves their Q&C. Friend's One also had dust in the screen and it was a big black spec. He went to Best Buy to swap it out and they had to go through 4 other boxes before finding one that was acceptable. He said he still sees some dust but it's not noticeable unless you're looking for it so he'll live with it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
Maybe a bad batch? At least they're not iPhones. You would have been told you're looking at them wrong! I bought 2 Ones from the same Best Buy and they're fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah very well could be a bad batch of blue One's. I do wish HTC success since they are actually losing money now :(.

My wife is driving me crazy over phones. I finally convinced her that the sliding keyboard is going the way of the dodo. She had a droid 2,3,and 4 and nothing but issues and the droid 4 battery life just sucks. I know she would like the one but she says it's too big. I want to stay away from Moto as we had a terrible run with them in the past. Don't like touchwiz as it just sucks. She has tried my one but says the reason why she don't like it is because it won't fit in the phone pocket on her purse. Yeah I know females lol.

So any ideas on phones and please don't say the magic fruit.

4.4.2

If I unlock the bootloader and turn S-ON to S-OFF will my Verizon HTC one get a notification to update to 4.4.2?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bschram:
No. You will need to also flash a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and then download and flash a custom ROM. All of these steps, including s-off have the potential to brick your phone, so make sure you read and know what you are doing! If you are already on 4.3 you will need to wait until rumrunner is updated to work with 4.3 before you can get s-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nateatlarge:
4.4.2

I was wondering about that. See the sites I have read and they all said dev and unlocked phones will get 4.4.2 so I thought since it said "unlocked" I would get that as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bschram:
Unlocking your phone does not instantly turn it into a Dev or unlocked version.

bootloader unlock?

I tried to unlock my Verizon HTC One bootloader and I got the error below.

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Error Code: 160.

Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Verizon has blocked all HTC one phones from unlocking the bootloader. If you have 4.2 you can get soff and root it with rumrunner.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
The Motorola phones now are way better than the ones in the past. The Moto X is what she needs, trust me. Also, why not consider the HTC One Mini? I'd still go Moto X though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I say just take her to a vzw corporate store and let her have at it. Coax her towards the moto x, after playing with it for a bit I found it to be an awesome phone. Although if she doesn't like bigger screens she may not like the x. Maybe the moto G? Is it even available yet for vzw? I haven't read much about it so I dunno. I do think Moto phones in the past have been meh, but the x is a turnaround really
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
I don't know if I can talk her in to a Moto x. She has had nothing but issues with moto in the past.. any other phones to look at? I will try to show her the moto x
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
What about the s3 mini? I know the incredible 4g is old but she may like that one.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
Have her watch MKBHD's review of the Moto X on youtube. If that doesn't convince her, nothing will.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MoonBlade:
Hi everyone,

I am having a carrier unlocked version of Verizon HTC One. I have acheived S-off/ Unlocked Bootloader/ Rooted the phone via rumrunner s-off (beaups).

I want to try roms for HTC one on my phone. Is it possible for me to just flash htc one Roms on my Verizon model after replacing Meta-INF folder.

If not could anyone please direct me to a recommended porting guide.. ?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Why not just use the ROMs here in this section? We just got official viper support

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MoonBlade:
yeah just saw that will give it a try ....

BLUE

Blue is where its at man!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
There are a few blue ones on swappa. I was considering selling my silver unrootable HTC one and getting a rootable model but I never seen the blue models in person. Not sure if I would like it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
They're pretty sharp. The blue is darker in person than what you might expect. I was pretty close to buying a blue one, but oddly enough the blue on the front bothers me a bit, and it's kind of distracting. I prefer the silver on the front, I just feel it looks classier, but that's just me. I like the back of the blue model a lot more though, I really wish they used black plastic trim (or dark grey) for the silver model instead of hideous white. Both of them look awful compared to the black model though... damn you Verizon. Honestly though this phone could be hot pink for all I care and still would be the classiest looking and well made phone on the market right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I'll wait a bit more before I may decide to sell my silver one. I would use it but it's bloated with vz apps and I feel bad I paid for it and it's just sitting there waiting for root lol.

7th HTC one! All of them have been brand new out of box from Best Buy. At this point I have resigned and have given up on getting a stuck/dead pixel free, debris under the screen free device. Pretty much went through all the blue One's at the Best Buy. I'm thinking I should buy a lotto ticket :laugh:. Anyone else with the blue one notice their paint chipping off easily? My speaker grill has an area rubbed off.

Current One.

Previous One.

Prior One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
My One has been flawless. Nothing wrong with it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
With all of the just on top of your screen, I'm surprised your concerned about a spec under the screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Didn't you have a blown speaker? Consider yourself lucky since you had no display issues.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Thank Zagg for that. Dust on top of screen can be wiped off. Under obviously cannot.:o
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
Just picking on you. :D

I guess I'm lucky. I bought 2 Ones from the same Best Buy, and both haven't had any issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] yojoe600:
My second One has been good so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Lol yeah I figured :P. I'm glad you guys don't have issues with your devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
Sounds like your local Besy Buy must have gotten a bad batch.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Could mainly be the blue ones idk. First one I got online had scratches on the screen and home button light bleed out of the box. Dead pixels apparently are a pretty common issue with this device.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
The speaker was partly my fault. Small slivers of metal are not good for speakers.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
What exactly happened?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Metal slivers from metal shop got in my pocket and then through the speaker grill.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I wonder if replacement One's from VZW will come with 4.3 or 4.2. Anyone get a replacement recently can chime in?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Depends, if refurbished prolly 4.3. Some have gotten updated others did not.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I'll see tomorrow what kind of device I get from Verizon. I do remember when getting replacements for my Nexus and GS3 they were always on older software.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
So has anyone that is rooted tried to remove or disable tetheringguard.apk? I want to see if tethering with the built in tether works for free after that.

I can't yet try until the 4.3 rumrunner comes out.

Someone give it a shot and post a result! You will need a root uninstall app.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I would do it but I'm not rooted. You would imagine most roms should be able to remove it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
So I'm getting a replacement from Verizon today to see if it's worth keeping or not. I wonder what will be wrong with their replacement? Scratches on screen? Lifted screen? More dead pixels? Cosmetically flawless with 4.3 already installed? Take your pick :P.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
When I received a refurbished incredible 2, there were no scratches on the screen, had to send it in twice though. It also had latest firmware but this was a long time ago. Most of their refurbished modules are like new, worst case something internally could be wrong but it's not always the case.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I am cursed when it comes to getting a good device. I had to go through multiple devices when doing warranty with VZW before getting a scratch free device. I am hoping for defect free and older firmware, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. If it is cosmetically pleasing and on the latest firmware, I can always hold onto the device and see if there's any progress for 4.3 S-OFF. Verizon says 5 days but the charge generally won't hit till your billing cycle ends and mine is 25+ days away. I'm sure beaups will have a new exploit before that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
At one point they overnighted me a phone because it was my only form of communication. You may get one with old firmware but chances are if they are refurbished they probably update them to ensure functionality and testing as certified working.

What do you do if you get a scratched screen? Tell them you don't want it and they say ok send it back?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I tell them I got a scratched screen replacement and they send out another. I have received refurb Nexus and S3's on older versions. I remember getting a Nexus with 4.0.2 and a S3 with 4.0.4 when they both were on JB for several months already. They don't ask for pictures as I am pretty sure they are aware how crappy their CLNR devices are.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Well hopefully you get an older model so you can root. I'll just wait for the time being. I was hoping to sell my DNA once the one is rooted but I figured out the DNA is fully unlocked. Used it on tmobile and att with hspa speeds so it will make a great backup device.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I have the blue model and all of them at best buy were on the oldest firmware. Hopefully this one is too!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Just got my replacement and it appears to be brand new. Same IMEI sticker as the one I got from BB not the same shade of blue but i could care less. It's actually in better shape no gaps no dings on the speaker grill and no dead pixels and it's on 4.2.2. 605.8. There also appears to be no scratches on the screen either.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Nice, glad you got one that is still exploitable. Did you have insurance on it or was your original phone from Verizon? Because I'm not sure but even if you still get 1 year warranty on the device I know Verizon can't do anything if you bought the phone from a 3rd party.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
so I know I already said this, but if you have one that is exploited already, you should totally remove the app Tetheringguard.apk with a root uninstall tool. Then you should tell me what happenS when you try to tether with the built in system.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nexusisneecesary:
It makes me sad to say..that I will be leaving the one fairly soon.it's been a great phone these past few months. however the need for unlimited data is great. And T-Mobile Is going to be just right. As my name would suggest I am getting a nexus 5.Thanks beaups for making the time with this phone so enjoyable. I couldn't have flashed a single ROM without you.Thanks santod40,andybones,turge. And all who put effort into building these wonderful Roms. Thanks guys its been fun.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
Have a good one friend.

I would love to know what you think of the nexus once you get it. You should post back here if you think of it
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I have the $8 a moth insurance with Verizon. All my replacements so far were from Best Buy and those sucked. This one was the first one from Verizon. I told him the problem I had and that it was from Best Buy and they sent me a replacement right away. Since its an authorized seller I believe they are obligated to honor the warranty.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
Anyone know where I can find the settings to get Wi-Fi tether to work? I did a search, but the search feature on xda app is almost worthless.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I can't even notice it. Maybe I dont know what to look for.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Stuck/Dead pixel in the red field. Noticed it after I loaded a dark wallpaper :(. It's way easier to spot in person.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Ah I see it now after zooming in. Yea I guess that sucks. Are you going to return it ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Idk man I really don't anymore. EVERY single one I have gotten has some sort of display defect. Either dust under screen or dead/stuck pixel, this one has no gaps and the screen is actually flushed/lined up perfectly. 8 devices total and all the same rubbish!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
You should go to a different bb store.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
This one was from Verizon. I am out of BB's return/exchange period for new devices. Plus the other BB in my town is like 30-45 minutes away from where I live. I am guessing it is a stuck pixel so maybe I can hope for it to go away. Don't see it on bright backgrounds, just like dark grey and black.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
Foxfi will work if u are unrooted, but it will force you to have a password lock. If you are rooted I think there are a lot of ways but I cant root yet to test them out
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I've had 2 HTC Ones, and both have been flawless.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I guess I'm the bad batch magnet or something. Every single One from BB and VZW have screen defects. What are the odds?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I guess try once more. Maybe if you have time go through a different Verizon store. Or call up and see if they can replace it for you by phone. It may take longer but if you can't deal with the dead pixel issue I guess you have no other choice.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Verizon store would just call in and order a CLNR. Not sure if I really care to try again or just hope for the pixel to unstick. Everything else on that device sans the screen is perfect.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Yengich:
I just got an HTC One on Verizon off contract. Almost switched and got the N5 but after playing with it...just didn't like it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
So the one that I got from Verizon has dead pixels and jagged edges thanks to the large gap. I have another One coming on Monday, if this one is crap like the others I give up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
Have you played the lottery lately?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
I wouldn't blame you. Just get the Moto X and hold out until the M8 gets released
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
I'm pretty sure Verizon will be delayed in getting the M8. Plus getting the M8 doesn't have any guarantees that they won't have the same problems as the 7.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thepolishguy:
There was a user in the unlock thread that said he would trade his unlocked One to a developer if they needed it.

I'll look for a link.

****EDIT****

I found that link to the users post...

Hopefully this will help a developer out.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
I couldn't possibly do that. I can still build CM. GrayTheWolf as my guinea pig. lol Once data works. I hope CM will accept it and I won't have to build it no more. I doubt they will right now cause we can't unlock.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
So, what do you guys want to do while we wait for our devs to work their magic?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PapaSmurf6768:
I think I might start counting the amount of times I pick up the phone and unlock it without actually doing anything past that. I'm probably in the thousands so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I'm just enjoying how fast it is.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PapaSmurf6768:
Exactly. Coming from a thunderbolt where absolutely nothing was fluid even on custom ROMs and overclocks, it's absolutely awesome being able to hold this much power.

To keep the talk rolling, does anybody have an SMS app that they would recommend over all else? I've been using Textra so far (which isn't bad), but I can't help but wonder whether or not there is anything better out there, and I'd really like to have notifications on my lock screen.

I'd go as far as saying that's the only feature I miss from iOS.

I use Handsent, works fine for me and have notifications on lockscreen.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
Yeah handcent is pretty bangin if you don't like stock sms
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Funny, I used to think that I needed a special app for texting, but the stock app works great for me. Except that it automatically adds smilies.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
What do you mean automatically adds smilies?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mpetruzz:
What's a good app or way to do that?? I'm always up for saving battery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
I am liking the stock messaging app. I wish I could customizeit a little though. My rezound wouldn't group message correctly so I had to use go Sms and handcent to get the threading to act correctly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
Trickster mods app is pretty great for CPU control.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hand76:
So guess I might as well ask this here.

Since Verizon seems to lock everything down what recent or future phones have come out on Veiron with an already unlocked boootloader?

I see there is a Moto X developers edition in the works. Will a phone like that come to Verizon unlocked? Wonder if the Nexus 5 will even come to Verizon this time around...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
Verizon locks all of their phones. The chances that they get the nexus 5 is very slim.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hand76:
What about the Moto X developers edition? I mean they push Droid and Motorola hard. They couldn't release a phone like that locked could they? I mean that would defeat the purpose, no?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
Well Motorola plans on selling a developer edition but it will be off-contact. Verizon thinks that unlocked bootloaders are evil and destroy their network lol
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hand76:
Understood and I would be buying off contract to keep unlimited data. Not crazy about a Motorola phone (would rather see the developers root this device here) but I am not buying a brand new phone till I know it can be rooted by me day 1.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I've had a white stuck pixel since pretty much day 1. For a while it bothered me. I'm the type that that stuff bothers the hell out of me. My device HAS to look new 100% of the time.

But now, about 5 months in, I very rarely notice the stuck pixel. And when I do notice it, I simply stop looking at it.

If all that's wrong with your phone is a stuck pixel, I'd honestly just learn to live with it like I did. It gets easy to ignore :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
I haven't seen much about the M8 yet, except it might have the same camera as our M7. I like that it does better in low light, but I'd rather have the detail.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
We shouldn't have to put up with issues like stuck/dead pixels etc. Plus the gaps are quite annoying when it's supposed to be a "gapless" design. I mean there are people claiming their devices are "flawless" so ours should be as well. TBH HTC should eat the loss for every crappy device they produce.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Maybe you don't hold the phone steady. My DNA does that too if you are not steady enough. I've never had that issue happen if I am taking a picture and holding the phone carefully.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nikguy:
Touch the screen and it will focus on what you touch. Hope this helps
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:
Nope! But maybe I should :laugh:. I mean what are the odds that I'm getting all these crappy HTC One's?
