theres nothing wrong with it. cept that there are no roms at this point but thats expected.

There are plenty of roms in the M7 HTC One forum. Unless you need WIFI calling that is.

I heard that there a hissing noise that can be heard when using head phones.

I noticed the slightest hiss when using phones, but once I turned off Beats it was gone.

I'm very happy with mine, it's your question that I'm not happy with.. you can find hours of videos and articles on the internet telling you what you want to know if you just spend a little time doing research like the rest of us did.

Yes. You just won't have WiFi calling.

Tried wifi calling today... it was horrible. I wouldnt mind not having it.

Won't there be radio compatibility issues? The international versions don't have 1700 MHz/AWS support, right?

Fortunately the WiFi calling on my HTC One is crystal clear. It sounds the same as my Time Warner line which is crystal clear.

WiFi calling is pro
Cons are just the annoying bloatware
Great phone,highly recommend

The only con thus far is the lame 3 buttons because there is not third hard button..... I hate losing screen real estate because HTC doesnt want to use common sense.

On pretty much all smartphones wifi calling here in Asia works great. Blocked in the US now like in communist countries??

Coming from a Nexus 4 user, so not biased in anyway:
Pros-
By far the best phone out right now (far above the GS4)
No lag whatsoever
Supports all frequency bands (2G,3G,4G, LTE on all GSM carriers)
Solid feel
Amazing screen
Sense is beautiful (opinion)
Wi-Fi Calling ( I get bad service in my house so I miss this feature)
Cons-
Although the materials are good, build quality on some devices has been sub par
Not subsidized on T-mobile, makes me very nervous to attempt to purchase or trade for one due to the fact that it was most likely purchased on EIP.

Noob question, 4g?

Ok, totally nervous and anxious noob here. I had a question about the capabilities of the modem in this phone. My coworker has a captivate, and he told me all about the stuff you do here, and how he upgraded his modem to 4g. Is the vzw variant capable of the same? I've been reading the threads for a few weeks now, trying to figure out what to get, and now I'm just confused with the whole process, but that's a topic for another day.
Thanks.

Not. . . . . . . . . . . .
No.
The captivate can do HSPA which is all of the sudden be marketed as 4G (as HSPA+) but only up to the device limit of 7M.
That is one of ATT/TMO's ways of saying 4G.
VZN is using LTE which is different from their current CDMA#K which means phones can not take advantage of it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, no. The "4G" he is talking about is not really 4G. It's a fake 4G.
http://www.technobuffalo.com/comparisons/htc-inspire-4g-vs-htc-thunderbolt-4g-speed-test/
but wait......i thought if you put 4g icons in your theme....then it unlocked that super secret lte radio that came with the fascinate!?!?!
Thanks for the info.
Brownie points for Big Red...NOT.

So now you are discrediting VZW because they use a different technology than AT&T and bought a phone that is working as advertised?

Its not really 4G, the phone works fine and as intended. If you want 4g, then go get a 4g phone from verizon(who has the best 4g network at the moment, forget ATT's crap)

Hahahah, this. +1
HSPA and LTE are different tech, just like CDMA#k and HSPA. HSPA has the same speed capability as LTE but the drasticly different delivery mechanism makes it a loser for these kind of tests.
LTE is the true future tech even though it doesn't meet 4G guidelines. Future HSPA evolutions are just going to be like new and improved satellite TDMA systems.... larger pipe for more terminals... but dont ldt ths customer know how many terminals there are.

If I had my choice, I would've gone with AT&T for numerous reasons, but given my circumstance, VZW was my only option. Big Red has a track record of making things difficult for the end user (like upgrading phones). I love this phone, and the service is good, but it's a bit discouraging that I'll have to wait 2 years to get a faster phone when this one has capable hardware being held back by them.
Sorry for the rant. Basically, I'm anxiously awaiting the day when I can cut the bloat and let this thing fly. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll keep reading until I get all the pieces together.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The captivate doesn't do 4g..the guy just has a theme that changed his icon to show 4g when he still has 3g. And neither phone has the hardware to run 4g.
At&t has **** for service...hence the REAL reason iPhone is with vzw now. I will never pay for at&t again.

Bluetooth range issues

I have tmo rooted stock rom 1.43 and have the worst range from Bluetooth...i see I'm not the only one, because there are many reports on tmo site...my questions are who here has this problem, what have you done to fix it, and does the custom roms have this problem?
Sent from my HTC Amaze and XDA Premium App!
There are quite a few threads on this site about it.
Mine is stock and I get up to about 20' and seems to start losing signal. I am fine with that though. Phone is always close by me anyway.....

Resound ... amaze 's twin?

Hey guys, well it doesn't look like another amaze is in y future, but im getting a rezound to replace my work phone (my dx) . Has any one here had any experience, opinions?
How's the 4g lte? I know I could have posted in the resound forums, bit I wanted to see if anyone has switched to or from big red, and went from amaze to rezound or vice versa..

TMobile doesn't have lte. So if the resound is att it would be best to ask elsewhere.

Yes. Having been a tmo customer for over 12years I am well aware of that thanks though lol.
The rezound is a Verizon phone fyi.
I was just wondering what if any experiences amaze owners have had .
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
Just check gsmarena, pretty sure they have a review on it, they have a review on just about every phone and pretty solid at that, they tell you as it is, if that battery life sucks, they say so flat out.
I've used one before cause I was thinking about going to Verizon. It has a slighter higher resolution (720x1280) but the picture quality is pretty much identical. The LTE network is very fast but unfortunately it will put quite a drain on the battery if you leave it on. That's one of the reasons I went with the HTC Amaze since HSPA+ is about as fast as Verizon's LTE... and no battery drain.
Oh yeah it has Beats audio but its just software and can be flashed to the Amaze if your phone is rooted.

My belief as to why we got JB before One X

To keep it short and sweet, I believe we are the guinea pigs and once the One X receives it (probably flawless) JB update, we will see a minor patch as well.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
That's fine with me.
I see no issue with getting it early. All of the problems have been eliminated by the devs.

Lol, the Devs are awesome no doubt, but the problems aren't all eliminated. I don't care why we got it, this release was obviously flawed seriously. It's ok tho.. Better luck next time

LOL the One X did recieve it a Turkey ago, every variation but AT&T's & Rogers.
and Sprint is way better in updating their phones when it comes to other US carriers.
The one x in north America is technically called the one xl or aka one x lte. Different from the international one x.

Canadian G2

Hey guys! Soon I'll be buying a G2 outright. I'm on Telus in Canada and I'm just wondering if it really matters what variant I buy. I see a few different models available to buy unlocked and just wanna be sure there's no big difference for me which one I buy.
I suppose if they'll all work just fine, then I should go with the best dev supported model....if there is one.
Thanks for any input.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
All the phones in Canada are the D803 version but I got mine through Wind Mobile which is the D801 and came factory unlocked.
Software versions between the 2 are different as well but I'm not sure what is different.
I'm not sure if there are any major differences between the Canadian models but things I saw through xda are that my D801 from Wind is missing the 3rd mic located by the flash. I haven't tried it yet, but I read that this affects the audio zoom function by rendering it barely recognizable and/or useless.
Also, not sure if you would care (but matters to me) is that I am unable to set my D801 LG G2 camera to mute without rooting and flashing another rom.
Thanks! So 803 may be best then. I see just about all the variants available. So maybe I'll focus on the 803.
I'm really hoping signal strength is better than my S2. I gotta go outside where I live to talk or text. Lol

Can anyone confirm that the LTE bands on the Rogers D803 are the same as Bellus?
I may go with a d802....at this point there seems to be more development for it. We'll see in a bit when I'm ready to buy if that changes or not. But seems there isn't much for the 803.

Yes they both use AWS for LTE (Bell and Rogers also have access to BRS 2600, but TELUS doesn't).
