[HTC One A9] eelpout:
Revceived mine. U.S., unlocked, carbon grey. (ordered on 11/2) don't hate me for those who ordered earlier. ;)
[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
US pre-order November 1st / Garnet Red / No shipping information either
[HTC One A9] 65vdub:
Are you me? Mine is scheduled for Saturday too ?
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
I just checked my Exchange Server's spam quarantine and found the shipping notification had been blocked. Strange. My order confirmation email came through to my mailbox.
[HTC One A9] sonus:
Buy the phone from ATT along with a $5 dollar pre-paid sim card. However, my intuition tells me that it won't be unlocked. Otherwise, Amazon or eBay?
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
Got mine in the mail today. Silver/White. Topaz/Gold is of course back ordered.

Feels smaller/lighter in the hand. But screen of course same size. Battery was flat dead though. Have to charge it, won't even turn on right now.
[HTC One A9] muhammaf1992:
Got mine today 11/11

I received my Opal/silver today, ordered 26 Oct

The box has the phone and the charger but no headphones!

I saw unboxing videos before, all of them have headphones :(
[HTC One A9] 65vdub:
I think it's just for the review models so that they could test the headphones. Either that or HTC felt bad for ripping our European bros off with 2 gigs of RAM and 16 gigs of storage and they included headphones.
[HTC One A9] eelpout:
yeah, on my unlocked, U.S. non-carrier version I didn't get headphones either.

FWIW, i'm using mine on T-Mobile. WiFi calling does work. I have to look into getting visual voicemail as of course there are no T-Mobile apps on here (thankfully :) ).
[HTC One A9] 65vdub:
I plan to test mine on a T-Mobile family plan first then when the update for Verizon comes I'll go back. Just need to wait for it to get here first ?
[HTC One A9] eelpout:
my unknown on T-Mobile was whether or not data would work with my grandfathered plan from the early 2000's. T-Mobile blocks data usage by IMEI's of their branded phones (and "cousins" thereof). And also, some they don't, like the Nexus 5x.

So far, my A9 isn't blocked. :good:

my biggest change though is the "tiny" screen of the A9 compared to my 6" Lumia 1520. ;)
[HTC One A9] 65vdub:
What phone are you upgrading from? I'm coming from a Verizon Galaxy s4.
[HTC One A9] eelpout:
well, I have two. My T-Mobile account has a Lumia 1520 on it, which I will swap with the A9 while evaluating whether I'll keep it or not. I also have a Nexus 5 on an MVNO (the 5 is blocked on my T-Mobile plan).
[HTC One A9] mazubo:
So, has it been determined that the us variant does not include earphones; only the European variant includes them?
[HTC One A9] tomkins0752:
Got mine in yesterday. The feel of the phone is great.

On occasion, there is a little choppiness when scrolling through settings and such. HTC also removed some of their apps that I used often, like their music player.

I'm debating if I'm keeping it or not. Carbon Gray US Unlocked version.
[HTC One A9] 65vdub:
How are the Lumia devices?
[HTC One A9] BOO5TED:
Wonder if you found the apk for it if it would work.
[HTC One A9] postmortem.:
Same here - only app of theirs that I miss is the music player. Google Music is too focused on the cloud content. They could just have given us whatever M series had. But I think that's consequence of "trim the bloat and Sense" being beaten down on them.

At least BoomSound works with anything that has audio out.
[HTC One A9] z28camaroman:
I preordered the Garnet Red unlocked and have yet to get any info on shipping. Kinda need a phone right now, though. Since I destroyed my Galaxy S5, I'm now using my old iPhone 4S on the latest IOS driver and the experience is not pretty. Is it possible to swap my order for the grey or gold one just to get it earlier?
[HTC One A9] SkyChotik:
Ordered 11/10/15 shipped 11/11/15, scheduled to arrive 11/12/15

Sprint A9 Gray direct from Sprint website.
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Direct from HTC website or Sprint's? I ordered gray on 10/25 from HTC and still no updates.
[HTC One A9] SkyChotik:
Sprint website, edited post with the info.

I've heard that orders on the HTC website have been delayed a couple weeks maybe?
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Ahh gotcha. Ya my status just says due to ship mid November.
[HTC One A9] dzap:
Nope. I cancelled mine since I didn't want to wait until early December. I called HTC and they told me you can't change the color. The rep though told me about the hot deal on Tuesday, and re-ordered the Carbon Gray on Tuesday. No shipment email yet or follow-up email like the original Garnet Red one, but I assume they're just filling out other orders first. Still will most likely get here faster than December, I hope.
[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
I just got a shipping confirmation from HTC Canada for my Carbon Black 32GB, device is expected to be here on Monday. Pre-ordered on the 22nd of Oct.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
I just got a call from HTC offering me the choice of keeping the early December date for the red one or getting a silver one sooner. I'm going to wait for the red one but do appreciate being given the choice.
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
^Same here. Just got a call from HTC offering some $100 discount if I don't cancel, or something to that effect, her english skills were very poor...see if I get an email soon as well. I can wait, already received the silver one, that won't work on my Verizon anyway as it is. Should have ordered about 10 of those things, then marked them up and sell them on eBay at a premium.
[HTC One A9] CallmeTunde:
So Excited

I just got mine. It looks absolutely gorgeous... Can't wait to root it, tho. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
Not true, they will change the color. They just called me yesterday saying they will ship another color since the Topaz Gold is slow to ship. They said 2 weeks the Topaz gold will ship, they will refund your money, ship you something else, or if you wait, they offered me $100 credit as well.

Since I use Verizon, doesn't matter anyway, can't use it on their network until maybe January at this rate.

Probably going to just get a cheap cricket plan and sell my M9 and wait until VZW support is in the software update, then cancel, go back onto my plan with VZW.
[HTC One A9] dzap:
Yeah they literally, just changed their stance on this. A few others including me had called HTC earlier and were told we could not change the order, and were told to reorder on Tuesday. My guess is they were getting enough calls about it/cancellations that they changed their stance.

Can't say I'm not surprised and pissed off, typical HTC.

Either way my carbon gray one just shipped and should be here next week.

Glad to hear HTC started reaching out to you guys!
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
Exactly, call and complain, they don't need more bad press! I must say, they are trying, do you think for 1 second Apple gives a Rat's ass about any of their customers and would call them about anything?

Will say this, wife's iPhone 6 plus button stopped working, gave her a brand new phone at 11 months of the 12 month warranty. See if the button lasts though...pretty pathetic 11 months, button was toast on a $900 phone...haha
[HTC One A9] NuShrike:
Ordered unlocked Opal Silver 11/5, received 11/13.

Cons:

* lack of capacitive menu/back buttons. Lost screen space for "tablet" UI bar.

* screen is not as colorfully vibrant as a SG4. It's fairly dim until higher brightness levels.

* auto-brightness is totally foobar -- reminds me of the HTC Windows Mobile days. Dims too much most of the time, and when adjusted, brightens too much. Too-ooo sensitive to ambient brightness changes.

* too thin and slippery.

* needs special push-pins to pop out the SIM and microSD. SIM is nano-SIM which makes it an annoying transition from the SG4's good enough micro-SIM.

* audio holes at the edge of the phone are easy to cover up/block when holding side-ways

* There's no direct way to get to the WiFi-calling control panel.

* too easy to press power-button when just trying to grab the phone on its sides (such as car mount).

* WiFi-call still slightly laggy and drops out even on WiFi AC and 50/5 Mbps connection.

* no temperature/humidity sensors as in SG4

* lack of color choices a la iPod nanos.

* lots of these cons carry over from copying the iPhone.

Pros:

* screen doesn't flicker like the SG4's screen.

* UI seems slightly fast/smoother than SG4 (better be) except in the mess Google Play (aka Marketplace) still is when updating multiple apps.

* screen can get dimmer than SG4's screen without going into a weird flickering mess.

* metal casing that almost feels as solid as the HTC G2 was.

* thumb-scanner works very well, but reminds me of the missed opportunities when the G2 had the thumb-cursor. And why can't we use the thumb-scanner as a thumb-cursor? Stop being a follower!

* WiFi calling with T-Mobile.

On the fence about battery life. Still going through "new toy" battery drain.
[HTC One A9] BOO5TED:
Most all phones now need the SIM tool to access the SIM and sd slots.

Speaker ports are only covered because you're holding it wrong.

Just create a shortcut to the wifi settings, problem solved.

Lack of color choices? How many do you really need? The A9 still has more choices than most others.
[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
Well this is interesting, I just got my unlocked A9 from fedex this morning (Shipped from HTC Canada) - I got headphones! I wonder why not everyone got them, they're not too shabby.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Nice. Must be a Canada thing
[HTC One A9] z28camaroman:
Is your model the North American version with 3 gbs of RAM and 32 gbs of storage or the European model with 2 gbs of RAM and 16 gbs of storage? To my knowledge, only the European model has received the earbuds. I could be wrong, though.
[HTC One A9] pkinetics:
I just got off the phone and opted to keep the deep garnet. The CSR explained to me that the $100 credit is for use in the HTC Store, and that I would receive the credit after a period of time. Probably to make sure I didn't quickly return the product and keep the credit.
[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
Indeed I have the 3GB/32 variant. I had to pay more than a direct 399USD -> CAD, so this helps make up for it.
[HTC One A9] weidnerj:
Got a phone call from HTC today, they were hard to understand too, because had on order Topaz Gold phone that was on backorder. Couldn't quite understand what he was saying other than I could switch to carbon grey or white and have it this week. Then there was something about $100 credit (but didn't understand that is if I waited for the Topaz Gold model). Since I wanted the phone quicker, I opted for the carbon grey.

Got an E-mail then stating that my order had been cancelled, with no other information. Called HTC and asked them the status, and they said that I cancelled it today, and I told them that I didn't cancel it (but HTC did without my permission), but was giving an option to get a different color.

Only think that he could do it let me reorder the phone and he generated a one time code for $100 off, plus free next business day. Downside is that I haven't received credit for the Topaz Gold phone yet and now have two $433 payments to HTC, and no $100 store credit (that is how they are doing it, $100 store credit to wait, or $100 off the phone to get back to the $399 price). Hopefully it will be here this week at least.
[HTC One A9] pkinetics:
Did you use a credit card for the first phone payment? In the USA, for credit cards, they should only have put a hold to verify funds. The hold would have been released by now. They will charge the credit card, hoorah during Christmas shopping time :( , when it ships. I called HTC to confirm this as I was worried my order had been lost / canceled by their system.

If by other payment methods, I don't know the rules.
[HTC One A9] weidnerj:
I paid with PayPal, so they charged it immediately when I purchased the first phone, and not a hold like a credit card. When I purchased the 2nd phone, they charged PayPAL a second time. But good thing is today, they refunded be the first phone cost back to PayPAL.
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
HTC rep told me the Sprint variant is post to ship starting the 19th. Guess we'll see.
[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
Delayed to December

Called HTC today to understand the status of my order and the replies were frustrating. I placed the order on 20th Oct 12:30PM EST just minutes after the phone was on their website, lol I thought I would get earlier than anyone. The order was for grey sprint phone.

It looks like Sprint pre-orders are not gonna deliver before the first week of December! Though the website says sprint phones will be shipped on Nov 19th, it is not applicable to pre-orders. HTC told me those who paid $499 have priority over $399 and hence, the time of the order doesn't matter. To make pre-ordered customers happy they already sent us 30% discount code and when they ship the phone they will send us a $100 credit which can be used on any HTC products. Most likely we won't receive the phone on last week of November because HTC employees have Thanksgiving Holidays and HTC assured me I should be getting the phone before December 12th (I lost hope on this though). LOL is this what we pre-order?

I am not sure on the understanding of the HTC rep, but she told me the phones sold from Sprint store are not coming with Uh-Oh protection and we need to be happy that we are getting all these at $399. Very well HTC, I though it was only verizon customers whom you disappointed, but Sprint is no exception (at least Verizon buyers knew they wouldn't get until december, but Sprint customers? HTC fooled us? No more pre-orders on HTC website.

Anyone with Sprint pre-order had a different experience?
[HTC One A9] tekkneke:
For those of you that got calls about the Topaz or Garnett color and they advised they would offer you $100 if you waited -- when is your ship date supposed to be?

I ask because I still have not got a call like that. My ship date is supposed to be "mid-November", so I am thinking maybe mine is coming soon enough, as far as they are concerned, that they are not going to offer me the $100. If they didn't provide you a shipping window, please say when your expected shipping is supposed to be per the original email you got from HTC.

Thanks.
[HTC One A9] pkinetics:
I got the call Nov 12. The phone call did not mention any $100 HTC online store credit. The call only said that due to unexpected demand, they would allow me to change my order for a different color. When I called in this week, they informed me I could change the order, or wait till early December and get the $100 HTC online credit. No mention of a specific date.

According to HTC's shopping website Deep Garnet should start shipping Dec 2. I don't know if that applies to pre-orders or not.
[HTC One A9] nuvision:
Shipped ...

Hello,

Just got an email confirmation with tracking number for my Unlocked Topaz

Gold .. first ordered on 10/22/2015 .. reordered on 11/16/2015 ... should be

here by 11/25/2015 ... shipped from Indiana ...
[HTC One A9] daweeze02:
Yea I called in and got a promo to change my color and after I bought it and cancelled my gold order the gold shipped anyways. I will just sell the other one here in Colombia I guess
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Still nothing for the Sprint version. Ordered on the 25th. Went from shipping mid November to late November lol. Thinking maybe just cancelling it and going with the Nexus 6P.
[HTC One A9] weidnerj:
It said early December I had Topaz Gold. They told me that I could get the $100 if I waited for it to come in December, but I changed to Carbon Grey. Sent them an E-mail today about it, and asked why I didn't received it today since it was supposed to ship yesterday. The E-mail I got back was that it was in order of when HTC received the order, and they didn't know the order. Sad part is that I ordered pretty close to a month ago but HTC canceled my order and I had to reorder, hence losing my position in the queue. I know *****ing and complaining won't get me any where, but feel like HTC really did a poor job on their supply chain and getting the phone in the hands of those that signed up early.
[HTC One A9] pkinetics:
That's extra crappy if it turns out to ship the same day your original order would have...
[HTC One A9] tekkneke:
Yeah, it must be December orders they are offering the $100 credit to. I got my shipping notification yesterday and the phone (topaz gold) is set to arrive Monday (I ordered next day shipping).
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Any Sprint people got your pre-ordered phone yet?
[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
I received reply from HTC yesterday that they started shipping from Monday evening, I am told I should be receiving the tracking number by today.
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Cool post back later if you get a tracking #? They told me yesterday their systems were slow and they were updating to a different shipping system or some bs like that lol and should see a tracking# this week.

HTC One A9- PreOrder from Dallas

Ordered the topaz gold HTC One A9 on pre order and received the product on Nov 23rd. Totally awesome:good:....Sam, check ur whatsapp now :P:p;)
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Here's what they are saying about my Sprint order: "Checking the order number you provided I was able to confirm your device should be shipping in no less than next week and a half. Also I would like to apologize for the delays with you order, unfortunately the demand for your product exceeded all our expectations and causes an unexpected extension of the delivery time frame."
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Called again last night and was going cancel and they gave me the $100 credit to not cancel lol. Said orders are backed up again and this time should ship Dec 2nd
[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
Have you got the $100 credit already?

hey, guys a little help here ! i owned a phone from my friend as a gift , and i used it a while ago and suddenly it says security error, so i followed instructions like everybody posted on this site, i'm thankful at first but as I've install through flash in the middle of intallation of Kdz of the certain phone it says "connot connect to server" and the driver of my computer is like disconnecting all the time even though i intalled the drivers that was needed. can anybody help me on this?
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

I am assuming you are talking about this guide:

> LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769 > Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769 General > [BIN]{LGFlashTool} Unbrick/Unroot/Flash ANY (P769, MS769, P760) in Download Mode

The only think I can think of is the version of Windows you may be using. If it's Win10, MS may be dropping the connection due to driver (dis-)support. If you can access a Win7 box and try again, that may make the difference.

Otherwise, feel free to ask your question in that thread. If you used a different guide, try this one as well (once you feel the driver issue is sorted out).

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)
[XDA Assist] RobotRob:
I ran into bit of a problem with my HTC One m7 and I have to return to a stock ROM. There are a couple issues with this as there are no RUU files for a Bell Mobility (Canada) phone but there is a stock nandroid backup http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428276

So I downloaded the nandroid backup and attempted to restore it through CWM. Problem is I cannot seem to locate the unzipped folder in CWM restore when running the recovery on my phone. I have a mac so adb commands are slightly different and I am unsure to how to properly push the folder into the CWM backups. I also tried in Android File Transfer but the backups folders are hidden. Could anyone possibly direct me on how to properly attempt to do so? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

Too bad the M7 doesn't come with a card slot. If it did, you could have made a "last known bad" backup with CWM to make CWM create the appropriate backup folders on the MicroSD and then dump the right backup into that folder. Ah well.

I would adb push the backup files, one by one to internal storage (something like /sdcard, can "adb shell" to poke around for the right path), and then "adb shell" in to copy/move the files to the right CWM backup folder (I used TWRP for so long, I forget the full path).

But then again, i looked for the guide you may have followed:

> HTC One (M7) > One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [GUIDE] Return to stock for Canadian HTC One Users

You need to have TWRP, not CWM, to read this nandroid.

Follow the steps in the first post, and you should be good to go (any questions can go in that thread as well). Hope this helps. :)
[XDA Assist] RobotRob:
Hey man thanks for replying. So I flashed the TWRP (which I actually had previously) and now I am just having trouble locating the actual backup folder, it seems to be no existent. I did step 4 so the Backup folder should be created then right? Now im on step 6 but I cant find the folders. Maybe im missing soemthing..
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
If you are on a custom ROM, your /sdcard/ folder may be called something else. Trace your steps by doing this from a console on your PC (with the cable connected between, and ADB debugging enabled):

adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls
cd TWRP
ls
cd BACKUPS
ls
cd <OUTPUT FOLDER of LAST COMMAND>
ls
cd <OUTPUT FOLDER of LAST COMMAND>
ls

You may get stuck on line two, maybe along the lines of "No such file or directory". If so, replace step two with:

cd /storage
ls
cd <OUTPUT FOLDER of LAST COMMAND - should start with sdcard>

All this will give you the path in which to push the files to.

Also, don't be afraid to use the experts found in that guide by posting there. I don't have an M7 so I am basing my thoughts off different devices.

Hope this helps. :)
[XDA Assist] RobotRob:
Hey man, thanks for your help. I was able to find the correct path by doing a backup, just of boot.img in recovery and that shows where the file is stored /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/serial number/backup#.

So now I am trying to access the path through adb shell (so I can push the stock files) but I am geting "Permission denied".

Do I need S-Off to go about doing this??
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Just need to enter "su" (without the quotes, for super user) after entering shell, before copying the files. Hope this helps.
[XDA Assist] RobotRob:
I entered shell. Then entered su , but it still says Permission denied..?
[XDA Assist] RobotRob:
Sorry I... I uninstlaled supersu app by accident so that makes sense... Re-installed it and will try to push files.
[XDA Assist] RobotRob:
I can reach the path no problem now in su with adb shell /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/serial#/backupfolder/

but what is the proper command to copy the unzipped nandroid backup files to the phone?
