Actually it does include the water resistant features. In addition i think that everyone is aware of the origins if this device as there have been several threads on the topic. It has been determined that Verizon leveraged HTC to remove SD support on the us version.beyond that the devices are completely identical

Because droid is a verizon brand and they will absolutely slap their log on it. All HTC did was design it. By the way the phone still have splash resistant design, do a little research and you will find out, it is just not advertised as such. Verizon logo? Verizon will slap that anywhere they want, trust me, Note 2 anyone?
Now to the real point, verizon could care less about minority of the users. Most will be like, 5inch 1080p OMG Sold.
Nothing better to do than complain?
If you don't like it, don't buy it.

So f'in true, some people are just here to pick and choose what they hate. Go get a J butterfly, seriously I have seen more positive about this phone then negative. Only thing I can think of it is just storage but that is because i think more is better lol. I don't even use 8 gigs on my phone.

ok, regarding the waterproofness of the dna, I just emailed their support asking if it was water/splash resistant and this is the reply I got
So can we stop with the lies now
Apply cold water to burned area.
But on a serious note: Why would you need a specifically waterproof phone? Normal phones don't care if there are a few raindrops on the display side, or if you wash the backside with a wet towel. Why would you need any "more waterproofness" than that? Just watch out that you don't drown it somehow, and you're good to go.

you need to ask specifically about IPX5 rating... which indicated higher levels of water resistance, not water proofness.
HTC will not say waterproof because that implies warranty support for phones submerged in water.
Make sense?
They never said it was water proof, it is water splash resistant. Water proof would mean you could swim in the pool with it and expect it to work normally, it might it might not. they never said that. Only water splash resistant

Who's they? HTC/VZW have said nothing official concerning the water resistance rating this phone carries. Why would they omit that form the marketing materials??

And to both of you, I specifically asked if it is water/splash resistant and that is the reply I got
If it did have a ipx5 rating it would be in the spec sheet, but neither verizons or htc's spec page says anything about it. And neither have said anything even hinting that it was
So unless HTC or vzw say something to the contrary, it is safe to assume it is not water/splash resistant
While I would have rather had the Micro SD, they did implement the wide angle front camera which is actually super useful for me. And the water proof rating for the Butterfly J is for rain and light submission, not swimming in a pool.

Which might not mean too much. I've looked at stuff while walking in the rain with both my Touch and Incredible without any problems, aside from the water sometimes making the touch screen think I'm pressing on it (until water is wiped off, not permanently). Just making the phone's battery non-removable likely makes it tighter and make it less likely for water to get inside though.
I hope all you know VZW is the reason we have no sd and low internal

Thank you for contacting HTC Technical Support North America!
I bet you are as curious as we are here about the new HTC DROID DNA. I was doing some research on this device and I found it has the same dust and waterproof IPX5. You will be able to learn more about the specs of this phone at http://www.gsmchoice.com/en/catalogue/htc/droiddna/. I’m positive this is what you are looking for.
As this is not an HTC official partner website, HTC does not support or warranty any third party information, and its implementation is at your discretion. I encourage you to keep visiting constantly our product page at http://www.htc.com/ where soon you will be able to learn more about these amazing new gadgets and stay informed on any future announcements.
Feel free to email us back if you have further questions.
Kind regards,
Sincerely,

Because Verizon is very involved with the designing of phones that come onto their network.
It's Verizons fault it doesn't have sd slot. They want you to stream more and use more data, which equals more money for them.
HTC is not yet powerful enough to tell Verizon what they are going to do with their phone.
Only 2 companies can do this... Apple, and Samsung. Even Samsung isn't THAT powerful yet, because Verizon still puts their logo on the phone, and pre-install apps on the phone.
I can't wait until the day that HTC & Samsung are as powerful against Verizon as Apple. We will have even more awesome phones when that day comes!

So it leaks that the E3D and Sensation would be released locked down harder than Fort Knox and will seemingly be impenatrable, we as a community are understandable enraged at this. In a massive uproar we storm HTC's facebook, twitter, phones and email boxes demanding this be fixed. HTC finally caves after just a few days of this. We celebrate, then with no new news get impatient and return to the battle field to demand a time frame. HTC eventually announces a date in August to September. We again celebrate, but it is short lived.
We grow restless and deduce that HTC's method will require registering and voiding warranties. We again rage and lash out at them. No news to us made for angry users, tempers boil over and the forums are chaos. Then IT happens, Revolutionary is released! We are rooted! We have prevailed! We rub it in HTC's slow moving faces! HTC updates that their unlock will require registering and void warranty, WE LAUGH AT THEM! We have what we want, but where does that leave HTC?
Poor HTC went through all of this to please the dev community, they were dragged through the mud all over the media and in the end, all the people who demanded unlocking wont even use it since Revolutionary was released. I just kinda feel bad for them so I made this post to spread awareness, also the comic to spread laughs

very sad, whomever made the decision to lock it down must not be happy
You would think ALL of the manufacturers would know better at this point. Every time they try a new security thing, the android community embarrasses them. Every time Google puts out a new version of android, the community once again embarrasses the manufacturers.
I'm honestly surprised at this point HTC just hasn't caved and hired all the devs from here!
Why double post? Or something going on wit tapatalk seen alot post without anything or double post alot in diferent threads I think I ma contact the developer
To the op mm i guess don't really care about them knowing I'm rooted is legal and if sprint want to cancel my contract go right ahead I can get an lte device instead
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
I think the decision to lock was idiotic.
I think the decision to revers that was inspiring (for such a large company).
I think the delay until unlock was disingenuous
I think rubbing the communities unlock in their face is tasteless and tactless
I think HTC wanting to know who unlocks is reasonable
I think I won't buy a phone from a company who wants to lock
I think I will buy my next phone from a company that doesn't want to know who I am because I want to unlock.
I will miss HTC, but, there is a gigantic PC market flooded with commodity hardware that is never 'bricked'. HTC doesn't subsidize these phones, Sprint does. HP and Compaq and Acer never asked me to identify myself if I planned on uninstalling DOS or Windows to install OS/2 or Linux or whatver....how is this different?
...sounds like they like their captive market, and who can blame them. Hopefully smartphones become a commodity market as well. Samsung and LG are game from the looks of things... Moto is not from the looks of things and HTC doesn't seem so sure... let's home they make the right move.
I can't blame them for trying to protect their market, but I can blame them for not changing with the times.

No other OEM is developing and providing software for you to unlock your phone. So many things can happen to hurt HTC if they didn't cover their ass on this.
Other companies may have easily unlockable phones but they are still unlocked through an exploit.. So they are protected. HTC has to do this to protect themselves.. It's 100% fair and nobody can come up with one legitimate reason as to why they shouldn't.. Yet, there are numerous reasons as to why they should.
This is a huge step and I applaud HTC. I have nothing to hide... I'll tell them I'm rooted and thank them for providing the means to do so

Sony has unlocking software available.
One legitimate reason is that I bought my phone and I have a right to do with it what I wish.
I can understand them wanting to protect their intellectual property, look at how other industries and company do it.
For windows for example you need a valid product key. For music and movies there is DRM(evil). For console games there is verification on the disc's.
Now if a Windows PC was so locked down I couldn't install a different os(linux) or purchase a newer os(vista to 7) there would be a uproar, and it would be well justified.
So your willing to void your hardware warranty to install custom software? When your speaker blows out or screen dies, your going to be screwed.
I've seen it happen with car warranties, somebody installs a intake and when their tranny blows at 10k miles they can't get it fied because they installed something that had nothing to with the problem.
I can't think of one good reason why anybody will be stupid enough to run HTC's official s-off unless they want to be told f-off.

Hacking has always voided out your warranty... Even before htc offered the unlock tool. This is common sense. Htc designed a phone to work certain way... If you mess with the software and break it then its completely your fault.
Ps: Htc doesnt do the warranty work anyway, sprint does it... And recently they started covering even rooted phones...

Then It's not HTC's responsibility to replace your phone if you brick it. You don't want them telling you what to do with your phone, but if you do something that causes hardware malfunctions, are you going to man up, bite the bullet and buy a new phone, or are you going to claim its their hardware malfunctioning and demand a replacement?
With Android you have a lot of freedoms, but not the freedom to abuse a company

And that's how it should be. But anyone complaining about HTC saying that using their root method may cause parts or all of their warranty to be void, is just absurd. They can't be running around holding everyone that screwed up their phone's hand, taking the financial obligation upon themselves, when it was 100% user error.
Most people on xda won't think twice about using HTC's root method, and most won't screw their phone up. But HTC is releasing this to people that have never heard of xda, and there's a chance that they'll try to flash wrong radios, software from other phones, etc. They're covering their ass for the ignorant, general population that aren't part of the dev community.

HTC isn't losing much at all from not upgrading their phones. The majority of Android users will not understand or care about version numbers. Android is no longer something for just "nerds" like us. It has the largest market share of any mobile OS. HTC is losing money because they don't have lower end phones, and also because the name isn't as well known as Samsung or Apple in the US.
1) HTC cannot guarantee an update window without being sure of it. With this update being new, they will still have to go through Sprint and all of that before it gets to us. HTC probably has no way of knowing how long it will take, so they aren't giving us any sort of ETA.
2) This phone will obviously receive the update. That shouldn't even be questioned. It is essentially the same phone as the One X, but locked down to a single carrier. This most likely makes us the last priority because we are the smallest group. The One X is available in many more areas than the Evo is. HTC probably wants to get through the biggest group first and then focus on us.
3) You're being unnecessarily angry. The update was just released TODAY, meaning that it probably won't even be on every One X for a few days at least. Just because some HTC drone paid to avoid giving you answers told you on Facebook that they don't have any information to share with you doesn't mean we will be waiting a month for this update to come. Could we have to wait that long? Yes. But there is no proof that we will.
4) The current update we are on with this phone is good. The phone itself works fine. Why do we need this update instantly? Would you prefer HTC rush it out and have to deal with bugs? Why would you want to do that? If it isn't ready for release yet, then you just have to deal with that. Pestering them on Facebook isn't going to get them to go any faster. Spamming them with e-mails probably isn't going to either. There is no legally binding document that says they have to release this update. They will though.
Honestly, it is common sense that we will see this update in the future. When will we see it? We don't know. But to go on an expletive filled tirade just because HTC doesn't have a bone to throw at you on the first day that the update is available on carriers that are much less restrictive than Sprint is just immature and unnecessary.
Newsflash: it's easier to update a phone when you don't have to go through carriers. Also, upgrading phones outside of the US is much easier because a lot of less restrictive carriers. It'll happen, but HTC had to focus on one or the other first, and common sense says we weren't chosen because we're the smaller group.
Exactly..and they have pretty much the same software besides the bloat apps..but believe me they are not very happy either..devs are leaving and the bootloaders are locked up tighter than a nuns ass...I don't understand HTCs intentions but it could all be fixed with one simple upload of source

Think about what I said and your response to it for just a second. Is that second over? Ok, let's try that again.
1) Did I state there is not support or that we will not get support?
If your answer is no, you have survived round one and are allowed to continue!
2) Think about 4.1. What if HTC and/or Sprint thinks 4.0.4 is a waste of time and decides, hey, why don't we just develop 4.1 for the LTEvo instead? I mean, that could be money better spent, right? So, are we with AT&T and have the One X, or are we Sprint and have the LTEvo?
If your answer is Sprint and the LTEvo, you have survived round two and allowed to continue!
3) So where does it state that we will absolutely get everything that the One X gets? Is there anything concrete that links our LTEvo development to the One X?
If your answer is nowhere and nothing, you have won the game!!! WOOOHOOO!!!

Pro HTC? Can't you see, post purchase service is **** all across the board. The desire HD excuse is a perfect example. Your idea of carrier lock down is somewhat true BUT can be solved. I don't know why they let carriers muscle them. Apple says **** you, sale our **** or GTFO & they bend. HTC needs to do the same & Sammy does too. These cellular politics piss me off. I wonder what EXCUSE we'll get for not having android 5. I would much rather them come out & say "yo, we not upgrading your old ass phone. Buy a new one or GTFO"
**Professional Troll**
Nice to see you back man. Generally like your posts and threads.
It does seem like the LTE is getting left out right now but I'm not gonna freak unless a pattern develops

I've noticed that the DNA is NOT on the HTC website nor has Verizon done ANY TV Advertising for this phone. They normally swarm the airwaves when a new phone comes out, like they're doing right now with the HTC Windows Phone. Why is that? Is this like a "Test" phone to see if HTC will make a strong comeback with Verizon?

I was thinking the same thing, even thought I DID see the DNA on VZW's website and on HTC's website, I saw not one TV ad for it, but have been seeing tons of TV and facebook ads for the Galaxy Note II... like yeah Verizon, THIS had ought to help HTC spring back, advertise ONLY the Note II when the Note II and DNA come out.. good going. lol

THAT'S what I'm talking about....not a single TV ad. I remember when the Tbolt came out, they were running ads for almost a month and a week before it landed on VZW.
My Verizon store here in McKinney Texas is full blown DNA adverts all over the store replacing all droid razr adverts. But yet no tv or print media.

This isn't at all uncommon. Samsung sinks a ton of money into advertising. As does Apple. And it works. Even among my relatively technically savvy friends, they consistently think that the best device out there is going to be either Apple or Samsung. They are barely even aware of HTC. HTC needs a strong advertising campaign, and until they are willing to put money into that, they will never be as prominent as Samsung.
Quietly Brilliant.

imo they aren't really that tech savy if they judge things by tv commercials - most of which have no real specs in them. But yeah, HTC needs to advertise more. My Incredible wasn't advertised enough either.

I went to every authorized vzw dealer in my town on black Friday. mybullfrog.com store, Verizon kiosk in the mall and two separate best buy mobil locations where literally none of the sales people had even heard off the DNA.. finally I broke down and went to our corporate vzw store ( I've had customer service issues with them) and even there the sales rep knew almost nothing about it but they did have it.. it did seem like they aren't hyping it like others have been.. Bionic was all over the media. Not sure if this is good,bad or if it even matters.. just an observation.. although I kinda had to educate the vzw rep on the phone which is a little funny.

I've seen it happen with plenty of other phones I've had in the past. The LG Nitro HD and Samsung Infuse 4G both spring to mind. The Infuse 4G was the first phone with a 4.5" screen - kind of a Galaxy S1.5, and the Nitro HD was the first with a 1280x720 display. They were both fantastic phones that performed well, but never had much of a following because no one was talking about them (except me). When manufacturers put out something that is the first of something, they don't necessarily put a lot of money behind marketing it because the public may not buy into whatever they are selling - and if they create a lot of hype for something that falls flat it has a much worse influence on later products. It is a timid approach to be sure, and they will never topple Apple with that attitude, but it's a common approach nonetheless.
For us, the biggest issue is that it could impact developer support. Personally, I'd love to see a Viper ROM for this phone, but if not enough people get one, the Viper Devs may not bother.
That's a good point... I always tend to go after the "latest greatest tech" rather than what is "popular" haven't had a device officially supported by the cyanogen guys since the Droid 1 ha. I'd love to see more dev's getting on the DNA train but for once I am actually content with a phone as is (except the constant wifi notification and the bloatware) but I have fixed that with the mod's. I honestly would be okay with not having any aosp roms or even custom sense roms at this point... I am very happy with this phone.
One thing I am seeing more and more though is how some apps seem to react weird to the screen resolution. Not a huge deal but it is definitely something I could see people freaking out about had HTC really boosted the hype of this device.. All in all I am glad I got the DNA, as long as stock updates (android 4.2... Etc.) don't take too long, like many HTC devices do, I will be very happy with this phone
Yep.

Absolutely.
I do not like the lighting on the phone. Makes the phone appear to be made of glossy plastic on the front. Also, the display looks like a cheap sticker on the front. I know the shot is not of the actual phone, but it does the actual display no justice.
Basically, if I saw this press shot when this device was being rumored, I would not have got as excited as I did with other leaked shots. Just a personal indifference.

Actually the Rezound was the frist 720p device by a few weeks and HTC website and the VZW stores were going crazy. There display model had a huge sign over it with the specs with beats and 720p in bold along with an over ear beats headset next to it for you to try out beats. Why can't they do that with the DNA. Even the One X got a lot of advertising. I think it is VZW that really is in control with all this.

Good call. I always had a tendency to dismiss Verizon's wares because they used to lag behind what was available on GSM networks. (I used to just import all my phones from overseas, since they would come out there months, and sometimes even years, before they made it over here.)
I believe VZW is down playing HTC devices now in general. After the Thunderbolt and ReZound debacles. No upgrades/long waits for upgrades. (More VZW's fault than HTC's...) Mediocre if not bad battery life stock. Truthfully I think HTC devices have been a headache of sorts for VZW minus the Incredible series. I just think VZW tech support is happier if more people owned more "user friendly" phones instead of lots of people owning HTC phones complaining about battery life, heat issues, slow/late updates, or just plain lack of updates. HTC is possibly tired of VZW as well. VZW not picking up the One series and stalling updates to add bloat or tweaks to already released phones doesn't help. HTC's Facebook page was getting pummeled with request for information on updates for the T-Bolt and ReZound, but even with VZW in control most people painted HTC as the bad guy.
Plus business-wise is supporting a hurting company like HTC a good investment if you can make more promising investments on thriving comapnies like Samsung and Motorola? If HTC does go under it won't hurt VZW one bit, so why would they care.
I have in my possession two (2) 64gb HTC Ones, and both of them are plagued with various issues. From poor battery life that is not consistent with what's being reported here, to random reboots, to build issues. For a "gapless" device, there sure are an awful lot of gaps all over both of these things. On both devices, there is quite literally a defect on every single piece that makes up the body of the device. HTC designs the best looking devices hands down, but when I look back at every HTC device I have had, they've all had build quality issues. My Hero, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, One X, and now the One- all had blatant build problems. HTC really needs to get their act together. That said, I still love the One, I think it is hands down the best phone ever made (save for my old trusty Panasonic Duramax), it just has too many issues right now. So, I am returning both of the Ones that I have (that I paid full price for, mind you) with hopes that when the black model becomes readily available, those build issues will have been corrected. Some of you here know (*cough*Gunnyman) that I am kinda anal about my phones (went through 5 or 6 One Xs) and I just can't justify spending $700 on a device that isn't perfect. I have way too much money tied up in these phones ($1400 for cell phones, whaaaat) for me to settle on one that is less than perfect. For what its worth, if my first One had good battery life and didn't freeze and reboot on me I probably would have kept it, build issues notwithstanding. The second one I got doesn't reboot, but has terrible gaps and edges so that's a no go for me. I am absolutely dreading going back to my iPhone 5 but it must be done. For now. I am without a doubt going to be trying this again with the black model.
Anyways, that's my rant. Ta-ta. Flame away.
Garrrr. I was hoping you'd start chiming in on different cases for the one similar to your time with the one x. I'm having a hard time deciding lmao.
See you back soon.

If you SERIOUSLY think you are ever going to get any device without any issue you're very very far-off from reality. Every phone has one defect or another, yes even the iPhone 5 has issues. Pretty serious ones too.
Well, in an effort to solidify my decision I went to best buy and played with the black sprint one..... and I like the silver better. Not to mention that I really, really, REALLY can't stand the iPhone and LOVE the One. So call me fickle, but I have now decided on keeping the replacement that I got haha. I now, I'm pathetic. So the good news is I AM sticking with the one. So yeah, this rant was for nought. I do believe that HTC needs to get their crap together though. I'll probably make another warranty claim in a month or so lol. As far as getting a phone with zero defects is concerned- they are out there. I just need to hunt them down. My last One X (out of the 5 I had) was damn near perfect. I love that thing. If they came out with a One X Super+ with all the internals of the One, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I think that is the best designed android phone to date, even besting the One.
@WTFunk- I'll try to start doing case reviews but my new job has me ridiculously busy so it probably won't be the same like it was on the One X. I still have 20+ cases for that thing that I need to get rid of lol. Right now for the One I have the Diztronic TPU case (it's decent but I don't like it as much as the one they made for the One X), the Incipio Dual Pro (holy hell is it massive! That will NEVER be my main case), the Poetic (it's cool and good quality, but not for me), the Poetic Palette Slim (nice quality but feels like half a case) and I have a Poetic Atmosphere on the way. Rest assured, I'll be ordering a TON more
That's good to hear.
I've gone through 3 one x myself due to defects. Still prefer sense and HTC's physical designs to any other brand on the market.
I'm banking on the htc one in black to be newer batches with less defects than the silver but we shall see.

Can't compare OCD to being gay or mentally challenged for one. You people with ocd can be married and don't get constantly harassed. And second you don't have a slang demeaning word like "retarded" nice try but OCD will never be on the same level as any of those words.. carry on..

I love this phone. I really do, and frankly, **** verizon for making me so scared to hold out on it. I already have the "software status: modified" in the about section, without doing anything to provoke it and a vzw manager tried to tell me my 3 day old phone was out of warranty, thankfully tech-support knows just as little, and they claimed that any non demo model would have the "modified tag" and they marked in my account that the modified status would have no bearing on my warranty. This is the kind of thing I just dont want to deal with around something I own.
BIGGEST CONCERN: vzw V10 marshmallow. do we have any guarantee of when or if it will arrive?
It is pretty sad that a carrier has me wanting to trade in my beautiful phone, for a 6P that is lower powered and less of what I want hardware wise. Thanks for the help guys
The Verizon V10, like all V10s, will be getting Marshmallow. There is no guaranteed date.
You don't need to switch phone but you do need to switch carriers.
How the f did the device show "software status: modified" on a freaking Verizon phone when they locked it so tight that you can't modify anything?

While I'm on Verizon also and agree with most of ur points the 6P is actually not lowered powered. It has a 810, bigger battery and better battery life, fingerprint sensor, all aluminum body, front speakers and louder ones, newest software at ur will, while the camera ain't as gd probably it's still very comparable. To be honest I'm getting V10 but have my doubts and probably will end up with a 6P but we will see, maybe LG will win me over.

But the V10 has a removable/replaceable battery,expandable memory,OIS and supposedly getting wireless charging very soon,probably a better camera and is shock/vibration made. Plus Verizon gave me $300 for a Blu POS I had laying around and with the LG promotion with a free 200gb memory card and extra battery and battery charger it was a no brainer. PS and quick charging

Oh I agree very valid points, I'm going with the promo to so yeah no brainer I figured it was worth trying out. I'm not knocking the phone at all, the build quality looks amazing and feels amazing and I'm one that favors LGs skin but I also like vanilla as well. I'm just saying there's a lot of positives on the 6p as well. As far as battery life the LG will get better once it gets marshmallow. I got the Nexus 6 and doze is amazing. I usually charge my phone at night and take it off the charger every morning but with MM the phone sleeps very good, I usually go to bed around 11 with 100% and wake up at 6 with either 100% or 99%. Nexus 6P has quick charging to (not as quick) and USB type C.
Seems to be convincing enough

He re-did the test with a brand-new-out-of-the-box phone and it too broke. The video is on his channel.

No idea who the dude is, but if he used a fake phone first then he lost all credibility.

He made 2 videos and both look quite legit. How are you so certain without any proof that it's a fake phone?
That was fake, total tech and droidmodderx tried to bend it with no success. Also I never understood this bending issue with the iPhone. How in the hell do u bend a phone? You ain't suppose to sit on the damn thing, any phone that is for that matter. I just never understood the bending hype. U can give me any phone out there and it won't bend cause I use my phone how a "normal person" would.

I guess you are a very careful person that never left your phone in your jeans pant's pocket

BIGGEST CONCERN: vzw V10 marshmallow. do we have any guarantee of when or if it will arrive?
It is pretty sad that a carrier has me wanting to trade in my beautiful phone, for a 6P that is lower powered and less of what I want hardware wise. Thanks for the help guys

The V10 will get Marshmallow.. Your biggest concern should be that the Nexus doesn't have a removable battery and if you are like me you want to keep your music on a microsd card! The best part is when zerolemon will release their extended battery for this phone. But if you want to be cool like all those wall hugging Iphone users BE my guest.
Convinced?

I just did that a few weeks ago with one of my old android phones that I was using as my music player.... It came out very clean

What this guy said. Ditched Verizon as soon as T-mobile's uncarrier initiative happened. Had verizon 7 years and hated it the whole time. Gets in the way of anything good that can happen to your phone. Have to say though, reception was great. Extremely greedy carrier
Lol @ this thread
wtf do we keep having these 'convince' me threads? what makes people think they are so important or entitled that I'ms supposed to be putting effort to convince them to stay with a particular phone?
There are tons of threads/forums/reddits/blogs that have info on this phone and other phones..read them just like we did and make your decision based on YOUR needs, not ours.
I had a z ultra which bent in my front pocket after a while. I baby all my stuff but that phone bent because it was too big and poorly engineered.
