Develop Bugs

HTC One/M7

HTC's announcement for their newest phone is today (in a couple minutes, really). A video was posted as a preview, which you can watch here, but it isn't in English. It's a pretty good looking phone with some decent specs but overall I think HTC just makes some weird decisions. Calling this device the HTC One after they've already released HTC One X/S/V etc. Seems backwards to me.
Anybody possibly going to be moving to this phone after the Inc 2, or for those of you on newer phones like the DNA/Inc 4g will you be jumping ship this early? My upgrade is in July so I'll probably give it a shot but ultimately I think I will end up with the Galaxy S IV (a sure-fire for development down the road, and for straight spec-power) or potentially the rumored Motorola X.
Specs Quick Reference:
4.7" Full HD screen
Snapdragon 600 processor (Quad-Core)
2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage
2,300 mAh battery
4.1.2 Jelly Bean

My next phone will haveto have on screen keys. I was thinking the HTC One but now I'm just hoping the X-phone is real. I fear it'll probably have an amoled display though(not really a fan). I could get past it if everything else was in order.

Hi guys, I just found the HTC One section on xda
Its not linked on the portal yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115

No way I would buy another HTC phone. Hoping the Motorola X is real. And that it won't be locked when it comes out. Weary of anything Verizon really. Coverage may force me to stay with them though.

I know that feel.
If Motorola X doesn't work out soon....I'll be on an iPhone
Until Google and Big Red get their sh*t together. Then I'll be back!

I'm just gonna wait till a phone with the Snapdragon 800 is announced. Until then, I think I'll wait. My GS3 is good enough at the moment and the Xperia Z is perfect.
I thought of putting something witty in my signature, but I was too lazy to do it from my GS3.

Umm... why do you have two phones?

Thanks for the obvious info Captain Obvious. Unless Verizon releases it on their network, the chances of the One ever being on Verizon is really slim. Although I'm pretty sure most of us already knew that anyways.

That's just speculation at the moment. Verizon might end up doing what they did when the HTC One X first came out. F*ck it up and give it a Droid name. *cough cough Droid Incredible 4G LTE.

Verizon HTC One

I know, I know. This is an AT&T forum but I have to vent somewhere. It was just released that the One is coming to Verizon but not until September 5th. My question or rant..whichever you prefer. Why on earth would they wait so long to release a phone everyone else had released in March? By this time HTC will be well in the works for the ONE's replacement. HTC is my favorite, have been holding out on my two unlimited plans for the ONE....but 8 months later. Come on guys. Sorry if this bothers any of you.

This is what Verizon usually does, and a large reason why I left them for AT&T. The running "joke" amongst Verizon users is "It'll be late, if at all" for devices.

Precisely the reason that I am a new AT&T customer. Just couldn't wait for VZW any longer.

It probably had something to do with Verizon wanting the Verizon logo everywhere on the phone/s
I really don't know why they are going to release it so late, better late than never I suppose.

It really doesn't make any Sense at all (pun intended).
But I'm actually worried more for our Verizon bretherens bootloaders. If any carrier is gonna lock a phone down that is unlockable on EVERY other carrier and variant it'd be Verizon.

Verizon is probably going back and forth with HTC right now on replacing the HTC logo in the front with the Verizon logo (just look at what they did to the Note 2)

Verizon is also probably trying to milk the Droid DNA Cow for every drop she got...
BTW
Rumors of a HTC One Ultra. Plus, etc... or something like that (a bigger version with a Snapdragon 800 processor) have me both pissed off and salivating.
Pissed off cause...you know, I have had my phone for a month and a half...
Salivating cause...that Snapdragon 800 processor seems pretty tasty...

Will ship August 22nd.

There's a debate that the reason all the carriers havent updated to 4.2.2. Is because Verizon is keeping them from doing it until they get the one. How messed is that? I'm not sure if that's 100% true but sounds like a good argument.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.

So the 22nd it is... Sure took them a long time to put that disgusting branding on the back. What a shame.

Add me to this list. I left for the One amongst other reasons. Kinda kicking myself now that Verizon will be offering it, but it is what it is. AT&T has just about caught Verizon in terms of 4G LTE anyway.
I'm also looking forward to new nexus devices that I'll actually be able to use!

Bootloader Unlock

I have a Verizon HTC One that I purchased on the device payment plan. I have searched here and you tube to see if I can unlock the bootloader to install custom roms. I know it has the old bootloader version of 1.54. Any help will be great before my return Window closes.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

No hope of boot loader unlock on that firmware currently. Only option is send to sonic for s-off. Or change carriers to att or someone else and get a one from them, I returned my Verizon one and did just that and couldn't be happier.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Verizon has blocked the bootloader from being unlocked via HTCDev. Currently, the ONLY way to unlock is to send it to Sonic. Visit this thread:

So you are against sending it out to get s-off'd by sonic? That's a permanent root for you...
If not, do some research before you purchase a new $600 device. If root is a MUST for you please take time to make sure a new phone will fit your needs in this matter before you waste their time with return of an otherwise GOOD product.
I apologize if this sounds snarky.... that's not my intent.

If you kept your old phone, reactivate that one, send your One to Sonic to get S-Off (for a very reasonable fee... the java cards are expensive!), then when you get it back, reactivate the one. Done and done!

I did keep my old phone but the simple solution is to just return and wait on the one max

more development will be on the htc one maxx than this phone (unfortunately HTC kinda did again - what they did with the HTC Inc4g I just hope this community actually stays and doesn't leave), not saying that it will get S-OFF faster, but it will have more of a community than us, which = more bounty money = more developers working on exploits. Personally I can't use a phone bigger than 5' large. Again, this is just an opinion from word around the water coolers.

No OEM unlock in developer options Htc One M9 Verizon

Hi everyone,
There's no option about OEM unlock.
I have an Htc One M9 LTE Verizon
Do you know another solution?
Thanks!

You need the Java card s-off method. There is an epic thread on it in the Verizon M9 forum.

If it's not in their, the carrier removed it and you can't unlock your phone without a Java card hack

So where do i get that java card hack ?

Nothing mentions carrier specific devices so i thought BINGO.
I guess those who are so smart that can hack the phone are not so smart to post basic information.
Its ok, i find my self just as dumb sometimes.
I have fallen into the same trap with NOTE 4.
It was DAYS after i discovered that to root NOTE 4 phone has to be developers edition.
Yet so many posts about rooting note 4, even here on this forum.

Maybe Java card method isn't what you desire....but it does in fact work to completely free the Verizon m9.
Good luck finding any Verizon device which doesn't require some amount of "hassle" to unshackle.

I think you have a bad unit or get horrible reception(I lean more towards bad unit, it happens). I have 3 users with the VZW M9 in Long Island NY and all 3 of them get great battery life. In fact 2 of them are definitely power users and they only rave about it.
Good luck with the G4. It's a nice device to hold you over until the M10 drops!

Will the AT&T bootloader ever be unlocked?

A few weeks ago, the Verizon note 4 had its bootloader unlocked. Is this ever going to happen with AT&T, is anybody working on it or something?

AT&T sickens me! Not only have they butchered this phone and delayed updates but their latest stunt is unforgivable. I got a text saying as a note 4 owner I would be eligible for a free gift. Apparently if you put the code into the mobility website you can get a free t-shirt that says "If I was with Verizon I'd have Root by now!". How low can they sink?
