Now "Coming soon"! Probably means about 2-3 weeks.
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/QC/htc_one_x_plus/index.shtml
Great news is that Telus version, like AT&T version, has the white/grey accents instead of the Red we've seen for the International version. Also Telus will be 64GB !!!
Bonus is that Telus version has "htc" branding, not the ugly AT&T globe :=)
locked bootloader?

We don't know yet for sure, but recent history is that new HTC devices are bootloader unlocked unless they are for Verizon. The real question is what AT&T will be doing with its bootloader, since they will more than likely be the same devices save for branding, and custom ROM's for the Telus version will rely on AT&T users cooking them.
Looks like Telus is exclusive carrier in Canada. I spoke to a Rogers rep and there was no confirmation as to whether they are carrying it as well. Simply said might/might not and could not comment. Was that code for yes?
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
I'm kind of disappointed that TELUS version won't have the red backlit buttons neither the red ring lens cover.
Anyway, that won't stop me from ordering this bad boy at day 1 of launch

Hah, you saying you never heard of any Canuck devs?
But yes, Telus / Bell / AT&T all have the same hspa and lte frequencies, hence same phone models.

Noob question:
Im thinking of getting this, or an S3(i realize theyre big differences i speed, but i care more for rommability). If the boot loader is unlocked, will that make installing CWM+Roms fairly risk free and simple?
Ive only had Samsung devices till now, but getting roms onto HTC devices seems rather difficult,and ALL i want is CM/AOKP. I MAY try a sense rom cuz sense seems cool, but my main concern is ease of slapping roms onto a device.
With my samsung, i just copy it to SD, boot into recovery, bam. Getting CWM on was a few clicks in Odin and that was it..and I dont want alot of risk with bricking my device?
So how easy/safe are HTC phones with locked or unloced bootloaders?

Check out the One X community...that should give you a good hint. The only issue is that the international One X+ has no LTE while the N. American variants do...will there be enough devs for the N. American One X+? We don't know.

Is the software version the same as AT&T? Are you using the same tools as the AT&T exploits?
Ok.. that is a very large question and i suspect to have plenty of different answer..
But at the moment i have an Amaze 4G and i would like to know if it would be a good move to get the OneX+ from Telus..?

kinda sad we are still waiting yes i understand its still being tested and tweeked
i just think its funny that a gimmick phone gets root first and ITS AND HTC phone
Well they did promised that every phone after the 3D will have a unlocked bootloader. That even means the hero 4G also.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
i understand that but why would you have to replace the HBOOT if it came unlocked ?
I understand that HTC is trying to cheap malware and such away from the phone but most people who are going to get it are people downloading infected apps from the market I would think? Does having a locked bootloader protect that? I would also think encrypting everything would take more resources then not? I dont know much but thankfully my flashing withdraws will stop soon

My bad Cheesy. My previous post means nothing due to the fact that i dont even believe that it shipped s-off. if it did there would be no reason to check and make sure it deosnt say s-on or replacing the HBOOT for that matter. So your OP does make sense and rings a bell. I guess HTC went back on their word again, either that or they thought the CHA CHA wasnt really that important to unlock.
Well since my EVO 3D is going back on Tuesday and i am waiting on the SGS2 to come out i won't miss the playing around with root from HTC and the Dev's...I am sorry but i do not believe S-OFF was leaked and went on youtube they are not that big that they would have leaks.
So enjoy and hope you guys get the root soon from either one of the sources.

You don't believe it? There is video proof. And it wasn't a leak per se, one of the members just accidentally posted the video publicly. S-OFF is coming soon, probably within a week or so. Sooner than the GS2 is coming to Sprint. So if it is a matter of not wanting to wait...I'd reconsider.

Not flaming but very curious. What does your last two post have to do with the topic @ hand. Secondly, why would a group of developers who have been on the android scene and responsible for previous s-off exploits have to lie and manipulate the android community to gain brownie points. Seems out of character and a first time ever in developer history as far as I know.Maybe you should do a little research before making poor assumptions.

If I've said it once I've said it a million times. Samsung Android phones are garbage, the only savior was the Nexus S. Everything else was crap.
I've yet to see one with completely functional GPS, a radio that works, a build quality that doesn't seem like some dollar toy you buy from china, capacitive buttons that work properly, hardware that properly reads battery levels, ect ect ect. Jesus man, Samsung can't even get the font on their lock screen right, You see the top 1/2 of each letter of the month, and only 3 letters max will show up
That is just the basics. The real issues run so much deeper.

The SGS2 GSM has been doing very well.There is not going to be a lot of difference from gsm to cdma and again if all fails without spending a dime i can come back to the 3D if i wish and maybe by that time HTC OR THE DEV'S might stop playing around with S-OFF so i do not lose out i try out the photon for 45 days free sell it get the SGS2 try it out most likely keep it due to the phone being better but if not the can i can always switch back.
You realize you have one chance to do a 30 day I don't like my phone exchange?
Good luck with the SGS2, they said the same thing about the regular SGS and that phone was a pile.

As someone who has tried both brands multiple times in the distant past, recent past and very recently I am going to have to call bull****... True, any brand of anything has its pros and cons, but when comparing samsung and htc htc doesn't even come close to samsung in the problematic-issues category.... There are some issues that go back many generations of samsung smartphone that seem like they will never get resolved.

your going for GSM I assume correct??
If so I would honestly wait till after MWC at the end of this month when we should find out dates of the next wave of device's to drop. It might be likely that there is one there that is releasing soon and would warrant waiting just a little bit.
I personally have CDMA version and love it. Now if GSM is your thing and you absolutely have to have one now maybe consider getting a cheapo phone now to wait and see what MWC has to offer?
Or if price is issue and all that then maybe compare the SensationXE/XL to the 3D? lil less Ram in the sensation and no 3D, but you could say a lil stronger Dev group over there on the Sensation than the GSM EVO3D here.
Welcome to XDA btw!

As i understand the GSM version is the International where you can put sim, and CDMA is Sprints without sim, i am from europe so i am going to get GSM, i dont realy want to wait till MWC, because i dont want to spend so much money on "day ago released" phone, because they are expensive and 3D in my country without a contract 460$ but Sensation is 520$, so in my country Sensation is more expensive, or i didnt realy cache your idea ;D
anyway i think that Evo 3D is my think although i realy dont want 3D so much and i preffer 8mpix cam than 5 but Evo is cheaper and it has more power as i understand, so any problems with it? or with rooted version of it?

evo 3d is probably the best you can get for the budget, performance,tweaks and support till the quad core / lte or whatever comes out. you've posted in this forum and that should tell you enough.

Got My HTC Evo 3D GSM now waiting for something its too slow or for cynogen mod to come out with all functions working
http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...c-sheet-confirms-tegra-3-nfc-and-android-4-0/
holy crap! thats all i have to say lol. i was seriously about to give up on HTC after getting the amaze but after seeing this i think i change my mind.
IMO, this is how the Galaxy nexus should have looked.
"4.7-inch 720p Super LCD2 display" super LCD"2"? i already like my screen more than the super AMOLED, cant imagine how this will look. camera has dual shutter mode, the phone has 32gb of storage, its thin, but good build quality. i think when HTC said they will focus on quality this year rather than quantity they meant it.
it looks like they mixed the sensation XL and mytouch 4g haha. not a bad mix though. if this has the tegra 3 i will probably upgrade, if its another quadcore i will probably not.
Will you guys be upgrading? or do you think our hardware is good as it is?

ill probably upgrade when the price lowers and its all around craigslist. its never good to get a device right when it first releases. learned that with the mytouch 4g.
since it does have the tegra 3 that makes me really interested: better battery life and like 60% more GPU performance = amazazing. i will enjoy my amaze while i can though there isnt anything wrong with it and im happy with it.

Yes, Cornering announced a new type of gorilla glass that is just as strong but thinner not too long ago. i guess this is one of the first devices to have it. thats why it must be so thin with good build

you mean s-on right? im sure a lot of people wont care considering it has the latest OS. even though google is probably working on jellybean as of now by the time its released it wouldnt matter im sure.
i hate what HTC is doing with the whole s-on/s-off but that doesnt prevent them from making some of the best devices. and the fact that they are doing the whole "quality rather than quantity" will make a lot of people either stay with them or go back. just because samsung has unlocked their bootloaders doesnt make their devices better either.
i would rather have a device better out of the box then a device that is not. and this looks like a solid phone

The Amaze is my first device from HTC and considering that it's a pretty high-end device, I expected a lot more support from HTC and not having to deal with problems like S-On, light bleed, etc
wow just wow, but we still need S-off...
Anyone have a guess of how much this will cost off contract?

I guess thats why they are taking the amaze off the tmobile shelves since this is the last phone they made when they used to do quantity or quality. after they ship the ville and this one it will probably be game changes for HTC if they actually support them well and what not. if they do not and go back to their old ways im probably leaving android all together. the only other android company i like is Sony and they still have yet to release their dual core phones with last years hardware. they will be solid devices but they are still behind the game in the android market lol. i will probably wait for BB 10 and see if thats good.

If this isn't an AT&T phone, I'll unlock it!

Well, it's official now per the Motorola Android Software Upgrade page: the X2 will STAY on the GB kernel (v2.3). No ICS for us.

This, coupled with Verizon's attempts to shoo me away what with killing the "New Every Two" program, charging a $30 fee for "free" upgrades, and now taking away the grandfathered unlimited data plan and you can bet once ALL the contracts are up on my Verizon plan, I'm switching to Sprint.
Verizon and Moto can flounder for all I care. I'm going either HTC or Nexus. Luckily, the Nexus is on Sprint so I can get an unlocked bootloader which will be nice.
Honestly, who saw this coming? Typical Motorola. Yet more reasons not to buy Motorola. F'em!
If Sprint would cover our area like VZW does I'd switch in a heartbeat. Living in the sticks sucks.
"Droid X2 - Will remain on Android 2.3" That is until Dragonzkiller gets done with it. lol
Thats why I feel nothing good will ever come from carriers and manufacturers. They give us the device and service and it is the GREAT DEVELOPERS that give us the good stuff.

Stay away from HTC. I have had two of their devices. never got an update beyond a minor maintenance. Locked bootloaders and all the baggage from Sense tagging along in the kernels and framework usually keeps them from getting useful updates or custom work even from 3rd party. ANd they are bleeding red ink and going down in quality as well as customer support. Notice their flagship phones no longer even have SD card slots.

I'm guessing you've never heard of an HTC ONE X, or the HTC EVO 4G LTE??? Beats Audio, 4G, huge screens, amazing cameras, AND the SD card slots are under the battery genius -_-

Not surprised at all, I knew this phone was doomed when it took so long to get it up to 2.3.4.
Oh well, now we wait for CM9 (and I wait for another upgrade)

As I said before, it's sad that a single hobbyist can do what an entire development team cannot. They're doing this solely so that people upgrade to their new phones.
The Droid X2 isn't even a year old. This is completely ridiculous. I am never buying another Motorola phone again.
It'd be nice if they'd be honest and just put "Lazy/can't handle the bloatware."
Also, Q3 for everything except the newest phones...disgraceful.

Yep. As said, I'm just pissed that the X2 isn't getting ICS even though it's ONLY ELEVEN MONTHS OLD.
Any recommendations for a good phone company that unlocks their bootloaders and supports their phones?
I'm not too upset I suppose. This confirmation just means that this X2 is the last Motorola phone I'll ever buy.

Beats audio .....LMAO, that sak-o-$ht that HTC spent $300 mil on? That 's one of the reasons they are losing money and their stock is tanking... genie...
Guessing that you have never seen this?
HTC One x and One S specs.
No MicroSD card slot and non-removable battery. Is that cheapo or what?

Hopefully they stepped there game up. When I got the brand new Samsung Eternity, we NEVER got any support for our phone lol. Samsung practically forgot about us. That WAS probably over 2 years ago now, so.....
It is now time for you guys to flip off Verizon and Motorola by showing what a single dude accomplished which several of their so called software engineers failed to accomplish or are unwilling to accomplish!!! Off to Verizon and Motorola twitter feeds!!!

The GNex doesn't have an SD slot either. A lot of phones seem to be doing away with them.

A key reason for doing away with them is so as to avoid lags due to the sd card... that is what google themselves said...
This thread can be closed (jk) we have ICS now thanks to DzK!!!

You should put that on twitter..dragonzkiller would get a kick out of that one
Seriously... it has 5 inch screen, 3200 MAH battery, micro sd card and the same processor. What do you guys thin? Do you think once again we got the short end of the stick? The HUGE battery is what gets me. I hope it is like the DNA and can work on GSM carriers, I might grab one if the price is right.

Micro SD. Bigger battery. Bigger screen. Only 3 reasons why I'm looking to get the S4. If this is released on American soil I will gladly get rid of the One for this

I couldn't agree more. I ordered the S4 Active and it will be here tomorrow. I will miss Sense 5 but I had no choice, the battery life was killing me and a 5 inch screen is a sweet spot.
If it has US bands (LTE and so on) I will gladly buy an unlocked version
The battery is bigger than the Note 2's battery. HTC is finally listening to their customers. If only it came with the Snapdragon 800...I would definitely get it. However, our HTC One still looks wayyyyyyy better IMO.
Sent from the "ONE" for me
The phone is being made for the Taiwanese market as of right now it doesnt have any LTE bands, US or International. Also its made of glossy plastic instead of the aluminum the one is made of. To those complaining about it being better specced, There will always be better phones in the pipeline, can't always be waiting or looking back and saying we got the short end, you will never be satisfied if you do.
Don't care, still love my one. If you waited to get the next top notch phone then you would never get a new one. I'm happy with the all metal flagship device.

This will probably be the answer to the HTC one on Verizon. Aka a droid branded boot loader locked bloatware filled load of garbage. S4 active? Meh.

Hopefully it shares the same software as the s4, otherwise it's going to be a very boring / slow sub forum.

Oh, look, there's a new phone coming out. It has upgraded specs. This is my surprised face. Quick, let's go make a thread about how much it sucks that my current phone isn't better than this newer phone and/or this newer phone has some feature I wish that my current phone had.
Six months from now, there will be another phone coming out with upgraded specs and this will still be my surprised face.

Nope, because:
1. I've already had my phone for months. There's no guarantee what carrier(s) this is going to and what those carriers will do to it.
2. I love the aluminum build of the One.
3. I'd rather have 32 or 64 GB of onboard storage than an SD card option. Google has been (intentionally) making the SD card less and less useful in Android.
4. Apparently, the Butterfly S doesn't have OIS: https://twitter.com/nerdtalker/status/347453833305284608
The speakers don't look very seamless... looks pretty ugly because of that. Hope that isn't the final model. The back looks plastic too.

lol I see that now oops.
This thread had absolutely nothing to do with the HTC One is therefore being closed.
Please enjoy this image of Foghorn Leghorn, who has about as much relevance to the HTC One as this thread.
