Nice one mate.

Pre-ordered my 64GB, Dual-SIM, Translucent Blue one today 10:12am at HTC Club Germany, aka Digital River.

Got the 10% off, as well as a free USB-C-Adapter in my basket, she to the fact that it is no longer included in the box. Well an in addition there was a special offer if the JBL ANC In-Ear as well, in combination with the U12+. Ordered them as well for 72,- EUR instead of the original Club pricing of 119,- EUR.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] holz75:
FYI... If you order from Amazon in the US, it says the phone will be released on June 7.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MNoisy:
Can someone please give me the link to the Amazon preorder? I can't seem to find it, only the HTC site.

Strike that, found it https://www.amazon.com/HTC-U12-Factory-Unlocked-Phone/dp/B07D2Q65ZM?tag=b0c55-20

I have ordered my last 2 phones (SG Note 5 & HTC U11) from *Never MSRP via ebay: https://www.ebay.com/str/nevermsrp

*

DECLARATION

: I have no links or affiliations with this company;)

Good experience both times, competitively priced handsets, and prompt delivery received in the UK & Middle East.

Unlikely to get pre-orders, but I will be keeping a keen eye on their site over the next 1-2 months - I think the "ceramic black" option seems more appealing to me this time ("flame red" seems a little pink-ish compared to my U11 "solar red").

Ordered 128 variant just about an hour ago from HTC website
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hasoon2000:
I may pre-order or a wait a little bit to purchase it. However, I am planning on making my toolkit for this device. I'll change my battery on my HTC 10 and retire it. Use it as a backup, when necessary.

Bummer that it doesn't have wireless charging.

Pre-ordered my 64GB translucent blue this morning. It looks good. I hope it's better than the failure of a P20 Pro I just sent back. I haven't been that disappointed in a phone on a long time.

Crappy photo post processing, buggy software.

Any downsides to buying it unlocked for Verizon?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
If I was you I would wait for others to review the device on Verizon...... if the history repeat itself U11 was a real mess last year for them ;)

As [MENTION=4832921]mdxdave[/MENTION] said everyone can sign up at HTC Club and order with a 10% discount.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
I'm waiting on some good contract deals here in the UK. Mobiles.co.uk and Carphone Warehouse usually got something cheap. I got my 10 pre-ordered as well for a really good price. I would love to pre-order the 12 direct from HTC but cannot afford £600+ at the moment. So hoping for the contract deals will be out soon.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hasoon2000:
You're lucky to still have contracts. We have "Leases" now in the US. You can rent the phone or buy it out after 18 months. I've been with my carrier for 17 years. I'll be just buying my phones elsewhere instead of the store. They offer very little, if any, promotions.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
I bought the unlocked for Verizon, it's all the same phone just doesn't have Verizon bloat

htc U12+ blue

Order my htc U12+blue 128 this morning.

Will be using it on the TMobile network.

My unlocked htc U11 worked great on it.

Not anticipating any problems with the 12.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Information I got from HTC: Flame Red isn't meant for the pre-order phase, but will be up in Stores (Club and official) as soon as deliveries of pre-orders start on June 18th.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
June 18th is release date? It says June 7th on Amazon
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
Where can I see that? I also order on the first day trough HTC Club Europe (Germany). But I can only view the invoice not the Status of the order.

I only get this:
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yours is not yet shipped. As soon as it gets shipped you'll find a UPS tracking number within this exact view. Further more you'll receive an email notification with the tracking number, as well as the information that your device has been shipped.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
OK, thank you for your reply. Then I will have to wait. Tough I also ordered on the 23.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
How quick did you get in?

I managed to pre-order before the pages went live and it was officially announced, but no change here!
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Ordered on May 23rd, 10:13 :)
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
So later than me, I have been cheated :D

I bet paying for express shipping doesn't make the actual shipping any faster either, keep falling for that one.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mdxdave:
Ordered mine on May 23, 9:18 pm, shipped yesterday at 8:36pm from the netherlands and got it today at 8:52 am (cologne, germany) :D

No express shipping.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
What color did you all buy?

I bought the black version on the 23. at around 11:30. But I haven't gotten a tracking number yet (also with express shipping).
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mdxdave:
Translucent blue
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] decodertje:
Black :good:
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
I think they shipped the blue ones earlier then the black ones.

Or [MENTION=219051]decodertje[/MENTION] did you get a tracking number? If not I think my first sentence is right.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Flippy498:
I received a tracking number for mine, almost half an hour ago.

64 gb version, ceramic black, ordered via HTC Club Germany

Edit: ordered on the 28th May without express shipping
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Icculus760:
If Amazon is saying theirs will ship by 6/21, that means everyone who pre-ordered directly from HTC (mine was done 6/1) will ship no later than that date, right?

Right?? Getting ansty waiting (and I know better than to ask for ETA's :)) but glad to hear some folks have already seen their orders changed from "Boxed Shipment"!
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] decodertje:
In the netherlands the black ones preorder at a webshop did come today, and tommorow they send the blue .
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
I also just received my tracking number. Was in my Spam folder^^
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] holz75:
Amazon says the phone will be released on JUNE 21, not July. FYI. ;)
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Icculus760:
Good catch. Meant 6/21 and 6/1 - not 7/21 and 7/1 respectively. Post has been updated (the reason, as always, is because I'm an idiot :D)
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] holz75:
It's hard to say what will happen. Originally, HTC's website said "Will ship June 2018", and Amazon said the phone will be released June 7. When they both changed, Amazon went to June 21, and HTC now says July 2018. Either way, I despise Digital River, so my phone will be coming from Amazon!
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Icculus760:
I'm debating cancelling the preorder from HTC and getting it through Amazon for the same "ship July 2018 vs June 21" unknown. Although I don't expect a useful reply from them, I asked HTC to clarify if my order will ship weeks after the shipping date given by Amazon.

Waiting (on the unknown) is the hardest part after all :(
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronc_98:
Blue when orders opened on the 23rd... But nothing...
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
Ok do see a tracking number on my order now, cross fingers for monday; )

I am jealous of the people with tracking numbers.. Lol
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
Haha matey the circus is getting ready for the next show.

Nice to have you on board too
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
Quick stupid question, I see that the package is coming Monday through ups.

So far so fine, but I'm Monday only in the evening at home, and apparently you can't tell them/change it through UPS my Choice, since it's "Direct Delivery Only". Does this mean only I can receive my package or can my family members or neighbors also receive it?

Sry I don't have a lot of experience with ups (mostly dhl).
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mouzaihem:
Someone else can sign for you, if HTC is requiring signature upon delivery. If they aren't, they'll just leave it in your mailbox. But iirc, I had to sign for the u11.

I think is will be better with a software update on this. Right now It seems fine but it worries me a little maybe. The guys you have the phone now what you think? I still wait my pre order.

Got my tracking number as well.

Order via HTC Club Germany. Translucent Blue
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
So here's mine. Got it yesterday, bit originally should actually only be ready for pick up on Monday.

But it definitely has to be love if the g-friends picks you up faster work, saying: "Common let's drive to the UPS facility and check if it is already there!"

You'll love them I hope. I'm in love with how effortless and easy it is now to power off the screen. It's a new thing, a new way. I'm glad things are stirred up by someone. Who guessed it's gonna be HTC again with it.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
Ah, too bad, too bad. What is some consolation is that it's worth the wait IMHO. As usual the pre-order is nerve grinding. That part still not good :(

Thanks for the thread... Only place out there, helping me to keep calm...

Ordered "black" on 7th June. (kicking myself for taking a week more to decide whether to pre-order and losing the translucent blue)

Going by the thread...I should wait another 15 days, especially as I can see any black ones being shipped yet...
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Flippy498:

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronc_98:
So it seems devices are arriving in Europe but not the US
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Icculus760:
Sure looks like that. HTC's order page still shows mine with July 2018 as the shipping date (USA), but Amazon says theirs will be available June 21st ... ... ... so maybe us USA folks should cancel our HTC pre-orders and order it from Amazon to ensure we get it before the end of the month?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mouzaihem:
I don't know....I feel like they are both going to ship at the same time. Amazon could end up changing their estimated shipping date again

....although, a few accessories are supposed to ship ~6/19, which is close to Amazon's expected date of shipping
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
I got mine today. HTC Europe (Germany) in Black.

Gotta say I don't know why some people can't use the buttons, everything works. The only annoying thing is, that you can't continuously press the buttons and get from 0 to 100 Volume in 1 go, you have to click and click.

Only thing I can't figure out is how to change the color or make the soft buttons translucence in apps like Chrome, I only get a white bar at the button with the 3 buttons on it. It doesn't go away.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
You can. Try go into Short squeeze, set the squeeze strength there again in the "..." section. I set mine to 2 generally, and it seems to work with the buttons too. I had some initial hiccup similar to yours but that fixed it.

Keep your finger gently with the pressure you started. It works here.

I'm not sure tho perfectly if this is your issue, or you have the same Software revision. Do you have 1.15.401.4?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] qriozum:
For me, the downmixing works step by step and smoothly. But it is already a problem to "move" by leaps and bounds. If it works, it works only by leaps and bounds, it does not move smoothly to the max.

DualSIM, 1.15.401.4

BTW - I did not configure the Edge itself, because in U11 I do not use it very much.

regards

q.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
Yeah I got the same Version.

Oh after some trial and error I think I got the strength i need to use down. I had some trouble to keep the pressure consistent. Thank you for your help.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mdxdave:
I have no problems with the buttons. Press and hold works flawlessly.

Unfortunately, you can not change the navbar background color.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuujiTakasu:
Shame I like how she is translucent on the Homescreen. Wish this could be done in Chrome and other reading apps, if they aren't in full screen mode.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mdxdave:
The app needs explizit Support for a translucent navbar (like talon did), Chrome does not Support it (on Pixel 2 the navbar is just Black).
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] i5lee8bit:
Thanks for this link, even though the reviews already haven't deterred my pre-order in any way at all.

What I did seem to notice is that the front notification LED looks like it's blinking white... Is it finally RGB? That would be really nice.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronc_98:
Where do you see expected shipping date? WHen I click on order status, I only see that I ordered a boxed shipment but no date in sight...

Thanks,

AC
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Icculus760:
Whoa ... they removed it! I've been relentlessly checking the order status page daily for the past few weeks to see if it moved out of "Boxed Shipment" status, and it always showed "July 2018" as the shipping date, even as early as this morning. Now it's gone!

Either that's bad news (shipment pushed further out) or great news (maybe USA orders are being worked), but clearly I have no idea :)
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] savage25rcracer:
It should be listed in the order email.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Emerald Core:
My U12+ buttons pressure is not the same. Power button is very easy to press i tend to accidently wake/close the device which i am trying to avoid.

The other annoying thing is that volume pressure is three times harder to press than power button, which makes it quite difficult to turn volume when needed. Sometimes i tend to press the volume only once and then i use the touch volume to control it.

Anyone else is having button pressure difficulty?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronc_98:
I just looked at the original email and the only date is the "order date"...
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] guidogsbn:
Lower pressure does help indeed, thank you. But going to download mode is a tricky thing with these buttons, but it works in the end. The main problem there is the missing backlight strengh in download mode. For me it was readable only in a room without light. But the next softwareupdate should help here in future. Saving pictures after shot should go quicker also. I have a 256 GB card in use , working fine.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] savage25rcracer:
Mine says it at the bottom of the paragraph before the status link.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
No. It's rg, as HTC always does
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Emerald Core:
So anyone else is complaining about volume buttons firmness to press compared to power button which is easy to press ?

Or is my phone defective ?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mouzaihem:
I don't have my phone, but I don't think you have a defective unit. It just seems hit or miss depending on a combination of both the sensitivity you set and how you end up pushing on them. HTC should have just used some nice buttons, like the M10 ones.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MNoisy:
If anyone cares, I just spoke to Amazon to get some clarification about shipping dates for U.S.

So it looks like Amazon orders will all be shipping the 22nd and new orders are still included with that initial ship date!
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] schmeggy929:
Yep so keep an eye out on the 23rd. Personally I'm in no rush. It stated release June 21st when I ordered it , so I figured it will be here a few days after that.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Emerald Core:
There is no sensetivity settings for power nor volume buttons mate. It's plain and simple, power button is very easy to press while volume is 4x harder which is annoying.

The only sensetivity setting that you can set is the squeeze function which I don't use much.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mouzaihem:
I may be mistaken, but I believe the quick squeeze sensitivity is tied to the buttons?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Emerald Core:
No
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
I can hold the volume buttons and let it go up and down without pressing always. No problems there
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GERELITEVeteran:
Hi,

Got my blue U12+ today. Great Phone, but i dont like the Display.

The Brightness is Not good. Much darker than my HTC 10 and one m9.

Further there are some darker spots in the buttom of the screen.

The whole lower half is of the screen is a little bit more yellow than the upper half.

I will try to shoot some pictures if you are interested.

I think i will send it back and maybe buy another one later.

I'm just like you. My Order Status states "Cancelled" and my HTC financing makes it seem like it indeed has been cancelled because the spending limit is now back to Max credit. Evening though there's the "Pending" charge, that charge might never go through if the order is Cancelled, as stated in Order Status. I ordered a 128GB Translucent Blue. Maybe there's a glitch with those units?

*Nevermind my last sentence. I guess there's still hope?
