Patiently Waiting

I've enjoyed experimenting with the current custom ROMS available now. Can't wait to see what comes about once Android L is officially out. Until then, I'll be patiently waiting.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bits3rpent:
Not Official

I have been using CyanogenMod 12, so it isn't "official" but I have enjoyed using it :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jimbobtexas:
HTC and Verizon bring you....NOTHING.

That was part of my Twitter exchange with Mo Versi yesterday. Verizon M7 hasn't even made it into the f'ing lab yet. We'll be lucky to see L before the 2-year Verizon contract on my M7 expires.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
Ugh...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bdizzle1686:
So.... Any word on when Big Red is actually gonna give us lollipop?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
Probably going to be just as fast as when they started to offer the Nexus 6.

sorry, im not sorry.

Looks like I won't be around to see our official update. Kind of sad. Upgrading this weekend.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bc13:
What you getting?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
An orca whale from seaworld....[emoji33]

I think HTC failed big time on the m9. Looks like the m8 which looked like the m7. And nothing really different besides new insides and a neat feature to fry eggs on the back...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] poondog:
FINALLY someone who has the same opinion as me.. im also not too keen on paying A$1099 for a phone that they released two years ago
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xdadevnube:
Wait, what phone is the orca whale? Just curious
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
Code name Shamu. Nexus 6.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xdadevnube:
I get it now! I don't come around the m7 forums often, but I know you did a lot for my m7 unit that I used faithfully for a long time. Have fun with the Nexus 6. I kindof want one because the development is amazing, but sometimes I feel like there is too much choice, heh.

I might just keep on using the m7 due to its nice one-handed feel (just busted out the Rezound for some new software love!).

If the S6 gets unlocked on VZW, maybe it can be a true successor to the One!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
hows the new phone bry? :p

No approval today:eek:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Not his fault we have the worst carrier for updates. Every other M7 in the world has LP but us. #blameverizon
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
agreed. the rom has been pushed onto VZW plate to certify it works 100% to their standards. #blameverizon <-- should get this trending.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
If I had a Twitter, I would post that on any HTC update question thread on Twitter for the QQing
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
you can make one free of charge. :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jimbobtexas:
Verizon's not blameless, for sure. But it was late before it ever got to Verizon. They only went to the lab a few weeks ago!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I believe I have seen it in certification for at least 2 months now, maybe longer.

It may not be 100% Verizon, but I'd say it's at least 99.99999% Verizon.

Believe me, I have been letting them hear about it on Twitter and in other ways.

I have made it real obvious that they suck and in effect, they make HTC look bad and cost them sales.

I'm interested in an m9, but I don't even want a Verizon device anymore.

HTC needs to sell their Dev edition or Unlocked edition devices to work on Verizon, just as they do most other carriers, so we can bypass Verizon for anything but their network.

I would be more then happy to shell out full price for a device from HTC directly.

However, Verizon won't see a penny from me for a new device.

Making sales and then not supporting the device with timely updates, and bug fixes is just sad when smaller carriers like Sprint have manged to push out not one, but two Lollipop updates to their m7 already.

They would rather we get tired of waiting and buy an m9 from them, well they lost my sale...

Sometimes(most of the time) greed backfires.

Anyone that falls for their shenanigans should also rethink things to help send the message.

Mehh, enough from me though, I can rant about it endlessly but won't bore everyone with my disgust.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
What I don't get is how Samsung and Motorola don't seem to get the hold up on updates like HTC does. HTC will issue the update for other carriers and they go through quickly but Verizon always seems to delay their HTC devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jimbobtexas:
You sure about that? I should point out that Mo Versi and I have blocked each other since my last exchange. He's a liar. Santod, I appreciate you prosecuting the cause, man. I couldn't keep my cool with HTC. Yes, Verizon sucks, but I'm putting this on HTC.

[IMG="How I know..."]http://i.imgur.com/9zzQBFZ.png[/IMG]
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
They(HTC) actually submitted it long before then, same with the Verizon m8.

The issues he spoke of, were issues that Verizon rejected it for.

Basically video calling and enhanced voice services.

I know this, because I had many user trials for the m8, since early January, and yet release didn't happen until months later.

Well, those user trials came from Verizon (doing their certification testing).

So yes it was initially submitted to Verizon long before that and rejected.

Mo isn't 100% in the know on all ends and sometimes even generalizes responses to save face for Verizon. (why, I'm not sure, other then signed agreements/partnerships)

Besides that, the only reason an m7 would have issues to be resolved for one m7 versus another, is due to the specific carrier and their needs/expectations from an update.

If they want to reject it, they will find/make a reason, no matter what their intention for doing it is.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
the tread we have on elevate has HTC saying its Verizon's fault and rejecting the build for 3 times now (i think that was the amount). as you described the Voice serves and video calling be some of the major rejections. The last round of beta testing that went out in Febuary worked perfectly and i couldn't believe that it wasn't good enough for OTA.

I too, want to get the M9, but if this is any indication of what is going to come. I wont be getting the device from VZW. After the block the did for bootloader unlock and slow updates put a sour taste in my mouth and im leaning more towards a nexus like device that will get updates in a timely manner and source code not taking for ever for released. I've talked to HTC through elevate about source and how to keep the dev community too many times. They are set in their ways and i dont see change ever happening.

/rant
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Nah, that would be the third or fourth build that got sent back to Verizon. Verizon wants our devices locked down. Look at the most recent DNA update. Nothing changed except the temp root exploit fix... I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon has an unlocked and rooted m7 trying Sunshine and seeing that it works and sending it back because of it. (I say unlocked and rooted as there is no other way to s-off LP when locked and without root.) Sunshine didn't have LP exploit yet when the m8 update rolled out... Just saying.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
This is part of the reason I got a nexus. The only thing Verizon about it is there easily scratch-offable vzw logo on the back. And two apps you can delete (my verizon and voicemail).

Both vzw and HTC failed me. Unfortunately I am not able to switch carriers because i live in the sticks...so i chose the only way to avoid vzw with updates...by getting a nexus.

They like to promise #tomorrow, [MENTION=4253404]tylerlawhon[/MENTION], but tomorrow means you will be irritated you didnt get updated and buy there new device...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DoctorZaius68:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dberthia:
I don't understand why they just don't cut bait on 5.0 and concentrate efforts on giving us a good, final 5.1 update. That'd be a good place to leave my M7. I could live with 5.1 being the final update.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
IDK, but i tell you what. This better be one polished rom when they release it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bdizzle1686:
To say the least...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
As long as the firmware makes porting updated versions of Android a breeze, I could care less about the stock Rom. Just make the firmware capable of keeping the phone alive in the romming community for a long time.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] peteangi:
They are probably trying to figure out how to break sunshine! :)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PatimusXPrime:
Nexus anybody? Immediate Android updates sound pretty good right about now...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bdizzle1686:
Lol, I'd miss Sense too much. I love my m7, and honestly would rather stick with it. Best phone I've ever owned (ESPECIALLY since I got it brand new from Best Buy for LITERALLY $1 a little less than a year ago) can't beat that! I don't get to edge up til May of next year, so hopefully the M10 will b a MONSTER lol..

I'd rather stay with KK Sense than ditch my HTC just to get quicker updates on stock android.. lollipop will come EVENTUALLY for us.... (& that update better make this phone Suck & f@¢! Me for how long it's taking) lmao
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PatimusXPrime:
LOL phrasing dude! That was funny though. I'm on LP Sense now and it's good but i dunno, i miss the Nexus experience. Sure, it's vanilla but it's also nice and feature packed. Developers get all the credit of course!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bmeek:
Apart from reliability factors and a hardware-savvy camera app, can someone please explain their love of HTC Sense? My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S3, and I was similarly puzzled with the popularity of TouchWiz.. Google's UI components have surely improved since these OEM vendors decided they needed to improve on basic android...

Oh yeah #BlameVerizon !
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PatimusXPrime:
I can't speak for everyone but I can offer my opinion on the matter.

Sense meshes nicely. It takes the underlying AOSP features and not only skins it (for better or for worse) but adds a nice layer of linkage to it. For instance, I always liked how contacts work in Sense. You can add a plethora of information to one contact entry. Now, i don't use it for much but it is a pretty convenient thing to have. Aside from that, it is a pleasant skin to look at and move around with. I am not 100% loyal to Sense, despite this being my second HTC phone out of my 3 owned smartphones... I will likely go back to a Nexus at some point but I can say that our Devs do great things with Sense so maybe that's the biggest reason!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gl1tchy:
If you're thinking of getting a Nexus with Verizon service with the thought that you would get immediate updates you should probably think again. I had the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and I was *still* always last to get updates.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PatimusXPrime:
I was in the same boat with the Gnex but rooting certainly helped that out. The N6 is expensive off contract too, wow :(

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
That means NOTHING!!!

All kinds of stuff is getting Lollipop from Verizon, just nothing from HTC.

Almost as if Verizon has deals with companies like LG and Samsung, to not update the competition(HTC) before them.

It's been in Verizon's hands 5 times now since January, I'm not impressed and certainly wouldn't hold my breath.

They were expecting technical approval yet again today, which again, didn't happen.

Verizon has some serious issues with HTC is all I can take from this.

Really hoping that HTC will take my advice for the m10 or whatever comes next, and have their unlocked version fully support both Cdma(verizon) and Gsm out of the box.

I think it's the best thing HTC can do for themselves and its users who may be stuck with Verizon as their best carrier option.

Got tired of waiting

I got tired of waiting for the official update. The only thing holding me back was my thoughts on resale of my phone. Once I realized that I was being rediculous I S-Off'd , Rooted, TWRP'd and installed NuSense7en. This rom is great! I can't believe I hemmed and haw'd so long. I should have done this long ago... :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Aganar:
Wait, we can do that? I thought the Verizon phones were locked down if you were on any recent version.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bdizzle1686:
They are if you're stock. But all u have to do is use the Sunshine S-off tool ($25) , and for Verizon M7's, it will unlock your boot loader and gain S-off. Then all u have to do is flash custom recovery and SuperSU and your good.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Correct and if you even think you wanna unlock, you better do it before the Lollipop update drops.

Because after taking that, you very well could be stuck being locked down for a while, if not indefinitely....

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] samaritrey:
So UPDATE IS OUT!!! I did the First update around 6pm and then it wouldn't check again but then at 7pm the update popped up its 649.2 MB and sadly I had to go out but just got home and its downloading really fast so hopefully very soon I will be up and running!! Guess they figured we waited long enough so put it out a tad early or something?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dberthia:
Is root available for 5.0? I'm S-OFF, and I assume the OTA re-locks the bootloader?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Root works fine. Doesn't relock.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hytekjosh:
So this is the android version with the memory leak, right? I don't think it was fixed until the most recent 5.1.1 release. Does anyone have details on what to expect with this update regarding that?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dberthia:
What root method did you use? WeakSauce 2.0 locks-up for me on the disclaimer screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Dude if you are s-off you don't need to use weaksauce or sunshine to root. Simply update, flash twrp and then flash supersu
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Aganar:
So I downloaded and installed the ota. Thoughts so far :

- A little sluggish. I hope this isn't the memory leak thing.

- Do not disturb in the quick settings is gone.

- Where the hell is my smart lock option? I've been waiting for it since my Nexus 7 got it so that I could finally use the two to unlock each other. EDIT: nevermind, found it.

- I thought lollipop had a built-in torch app now. Did Verizon take it out?

- Lollipop's built-in screen casting option from quick settings is also absent.

- Trying to scroll a page in Firefox is extremely sluggish.

I waited six months for this? It's like they updated to lollipop while taking out half of the features that made lollipop desirable.

Doesn't matter which carrier is the fastest at releasing it, it still doesn't change the fact that all that means is we have to wait after Sprint gets their hands on it. Right?

The carrier piece will most likely be part of the 90 days. Verizon and AT&T will be the longest and may go a little beyond that but HTC has been good lately at getting code out of their shop in 30 days and getting the first runs to carriers.
