Box is the same as the international version. Minus the AT&T logo. Plus comes with the unbranded beats/HTC headphones
http://youtu.be/NOb9PTgpMyk
I have the Dev version on order, but nice to see AT&T keep the same packaging and accessories. 2 thumbs up!
I wish the dev edition I just ordered came with the headset but HTC confirmed via email that they do not. Kinda sucks but I'm still stoked to be getting it.

You sure they wasn't talking about the beats that some UK users was getting ?
The Developer Edition doesn't come with any headset whatsoever. When I preordered I noticed that no headset was listed under what comes in the box. So I proceeded to contact HTC which responded that the phone does not come with any headset. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the listing is wrong as well as the HTC employee but I doubt it. Maybe if enough of us complain once we get the phone and find no headset, they'll send us a free pair :wishful thinking:

AT&T also left in all of the dev/international features even though they usually remove some, like FM radio, voice recorder and flashlight. If I can stick all of the AT&T shortcuts into a folder and then hide the folder somewhere I'll be happy.
Unfortunately HTC's easy setup utility won't work because ATT has their own. In spite of that, and the usual bloat, it seems ATT did right by this phone.
Does anybody know if HTC's offer of 25GB Dropbox space still applies with an ATT contract phone?

No, but I know for the AT&T S 3 they found a workaround. The same thing might happen here.

Hey guys.....Played with the phone today at work.( Which by the way is tough. If you think waiting for the phone is hard, try having it in the next room over and not being able to buy it.) All of AT&T's app shortcuts come packaged in a folder when you first turn off the phone. It also looks like they can be disabled fairly easily as well.
I'll try to check on the Dropbox offer tomorrow. I know you still got the 25 GB's with the HTC One X last year, so I'm hoping the same is true for this device as well. Most corporate stores should have some working HTC Ones out on the sales floor tomorrow as well with some advertising for pre orders, if anyone want's to get some hands on time.
Cool! thx for that.

ok so i looked at your ebay listing. That closeup of the phone and screen protector with a hole there is not the ffc, thats the light/ proximity sensor that i see. The ffc should be on the right side of the ear piece not the left. Unless samsung built a whole new vibrant where the ffc hole is not on the usual side of the phone.

definitely not a galaxy s 4g. as you can see, it has a screen protector on and that so called "FFC" is the ambient light sensor and prox. sensor. PLUS notice how he covers the box lid with the phone =P only way to prove that its a Galaxy S 4G is to take a pic of the back of the phone showing the model number and the boxs lid...it should show the movie "Inception". You can easily tell the phone is used just by looking at the dirt n grim build up around the screen protector opening for the sensors.
Lame. There's no ffc in that pic.
Clearly not a 4g... hell i can look at my Vibrants box and tell its the exact same box, let alone theres no FFC and the phone looks HIGHLY used... someone should report that ebay listing so some dumbass doesnt get duped into buying an original Vibrant for waaayyyyyy over list price... for f*#ks sake, if your gonna try fraud at least do the camera mod first jackass!!!
I think its funny he thought he could advertise it here and no one would notice.

Has anyone else received warranty replacement beats?
I got some today from tech support call in. The left bud of the original pair stopped working.
The new buds seem to be of better quality at first. The mic/music control is located on the left bud wire and hangs at mouth level instead of at the wire split. The black on the buds is of a shiny chrome looking color instead of matte black, and there are colored stripes.
I think they sound better, maybe...
Unfortunately, as luck would have it, I'm going to have to send them back. The buttons don't do anything when pressed. Thanks monster, for making expensive garbage.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yeah, I called 611.. The CS rep said they had a 30 day warranty (got my rezound on launch day) then switched me to tech support.. When the tech support rep came on the line she said they were sending replacement but if they find damage on the originals ill be charged $99.99. It's worth noting that the receipt for the new set shows $74.95.
I'd like to test them on my ipod, but I don't know where my wife stashed it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I also received a replacement set, the same as yours. Yea they are for Apple but they are better. As far as 30days that's false. They are a year like the phone. They also threatened me about the damage as well. These are better than the OEM set. I also had them send me a replacement battery as well. Verizon is sick of me, I have a list a mile long over the years of replacement phones/accessories!

Those are the same ones they sent me, the track buttons don't work for rezound, you kind of have to watch it at first as if you hold the button it will dial a call. I took mine to the corporate store and they were a couple months old, originally the manager told the guy to grab a pair out of a new phone box, but they didn't have any so he had them mailed to my house.
you guys need to DL the app "headset button controller"
You can then use any headphones with iphone controls.
I use that app to control my Beats Studio headphones. It works with my V-Moda's also.
EDIT: if you want some reasonably good deals on Monster stuff go here:
http://www.monstercable.com/outletstore/linelist.asp
I got my Studio's there & although the site said refurb, the set they sent me was a brand new set in a sealed box.
I was told by a phone support rep that I could take my iBeats to any official Verizon store to have them replaced if necessary. However, since my iBeats worked perfectly I sold them and got the Tour earbuds. They're amazing! They sound incredible and are much more solidly built. I'd strongly recommend the upgrade.

I can understand that perfectly, I mainly posted that for the posters saying they wanted to keep the replacements but needed next/previous track etc.
That is still an awfully handy app to have as it actually gives you way more functionality than the stock setup. Each button can be setup for multiple functions (IE: one click/double click/triple click etc. all perform different functions including volume adj etc.)
I find that almost every headphone you buy with inline controls are setup for ipod/iphone only & with this app you can use any headphone you want.
Honestly the iPhone beats are probably better if you are willing to use that app.

All you do is install it & check the box to enable it (the default setting). After that, it just works (& it works perfectly)

Like many pre-orders, I received mine on Thursday.
I was disappointed, however, that the seal has been broken and there were scuffles and smudges in the back near the camera.
Perhaps, mine was opened by US Customs to examine.
I'm wondering if there are many others out there who received their phones in similar condition.
Also, I couldn't find any headphones included. Is that right?

The serial number, hex and dec number on my box were different from the ones on my phone. I had all kinds of problems getting it activated until i pulled the back cover and saw different numbers. The tech support guy at sprint i was on the phone with said he has only seen that 1 or 2 times in the several years hes been there. Customs must have taken it out of the box and put it in another.
Yall are just the unlucky bastards.
1st guy... Probably did check Yours and the agent didn't give a crap.
2nd guy... Lol that is 100 percent the agent was a retard. My of broke it and put a different one in it.
Cough get dna... Background cough
Wow that really sucks....I hope you can get that replaced...or at least replace the top plastic.
i'd be madd pissed.
denggg.. so did the customs agents just randomly open boxes to check? i thought maybe they'd take one from each batch or just one period for investigation. rediculous.

Maybe the phone that was originally taken out - was NOT but back in, but they kept the packaging/labeling and threw in another phone? Hence the mismatch numbers. Just a guess Would probably be easier to open a box with no label and just put that phone in the labeled box.

All the phones I have ever had come with headphones (and micro SD too). Odd.
It's a $500-$600 phone, and doesn't include headphones. That's quite perturbing.

My last 2 phones were the EVO, and the EVO 3D, neither of which came with headphones. The way I see it is the headphones that come with phones are usually pretty crappy and I'd rather have them spend that few cents on improving the build quality of the phone. They're most likely going to cut corners somewhere to pay for the headphones they include.

Still using it...
Historically I stick with the phone I have until I wreck it (usually by breaking the screen)...
That was the fate of my Galaxy S 4G, the phone I had before my Amaze.
The only phone I have not destroyed (going back to the days of Moto bar-phones and the original Razr) is the Verizon Vortex that I got specifically to use at Camp Shelby, MS while training for my last National Guard deployment. T-Mobile sucked wind out there, and VZW had 3G.
Of course, back home in WA it's reversed - Verizon's lack of wi-fi calling makes them useless where I live (complete dead zone for several miles, all 'G's, all carriers), so the Vortex was saved from apparently inevitable destruction by the fact that I cancelled it's service when I left for Afghanistan and never turned it back on again!
When I had sense 3.6 I had bad signals, GPS hack works better than regular it seems

Using Energy rom with Faux kernel at 1.76ghz, working just fine as my daily driver. Replaced the battery with a 3600 mah mugen. Everything seems to work ok
I play music with it all time, irc chat, read websites, alarm clock, imdb, movie checks, starbucks card, etc. Everything just works, and fast.
First phone that doesnt lag and feel like a toy. I'm normally an early adopter and upgrade like crazy, I'm pretty happy so far. HTC VX (or something like that) does look like what I want, sdcard slot, LTE, 1080P screen.. Just want a real sliding keyboard with large ass battery and I'd be set.
Only things I don't like about it is some simple functionality issues.
Contacts and contact groups need polished. (At least you can hide google+ groups and ones without phone numbers)
Dialer is cluttered, looks nice, but facebook integration is overkill. (Except photos)
No way to save all contacts in into google contacts. (All services merged into one with Facebook photos, there are apps to help some)
Browser bookmarks are a tad annoying in default browser. But flash works!
MP3 Directories are a tad annoying to sort properly with internal/external memory.
Need some way to save ratings of songs in the ID3 tags or playlist files, no universal rating system in music.
Blacklisting apps work mostly, would like something built into the OS.
No nice desk dock, need to find something more universal.
USB plug tend to wiggle, MHL cable fits perfect. (I was plugging it in 2-4 times a day, new battery should make that once)

In case you haven't been keeping up with Google I/O, one of the BIG announcements was the release of a complete stock, unlocked, open Samsung Galaxy S4.
It will come with 4.2.2 I believe. It will get updates direct from Google.
However, it is a GSM device. What do you all think about it? Anyone been on the fence about switching phones? Anyone reserve a Verizon S4?
I think it's cool, and I hope Google drops more phones in this manner.
It's cool, but no real reason to get it above a regular s4 imo.

It also not working on Verizon is a big reason why I won't be getting one. Also, it's $650.

$650 is lower compared to the DNAs full price at launch.
It not working on Verizon really does suck, perhaps some devs will port the ROM over to the CDMA version. I want complete and utter stock experience.
This phone pleases the Android purist in me. I so wish I could have it on my current phone, but I must be patient.

Point being, I have an upgrade. So I can just get the GS4 for $199.
I imagine that since this exists, it would be pretty close to trivial for an almost complete stock experience on any GS4, as from past experience.
Huge letdown in my opinion.

Nexus 7-Stock
I think it's pretty amazing (and definitely surprising) that Samsung agreed to stock Android.
Hopefully this will set a trend with other manufacturers as well.
I would have been more excited if Google chose the GS4 AND the HTC One for its pure Nexus-like version. Even at full price a HTC One w/ pure AOSP would be a very very very compelling option for high end users. Arguably the best software paired with THE best hardware. That could be worth $650

Agreed... But HTC doesnt have the "stones" to do that. Its led around by the nose from the carriers... snapping their fingers.. "here boy...here boy...cmon".... LOLOLOL....
Ex.... 16 gigs memory... no sd slot.... not helping devs (on the DL) to unlock phones. Now that would be epic. Till then they will always be second or even third consideration for me. I had a TBolt, Rezound, and now DNA. Loved all phones but Nooka please....get some ballz HTC!!!
I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it was compatible with Verizon. I'll have to settle for the normal one with Cyanogenmod.

Doesn't this also mean that (so long as the bootloader remains unlockable) vzw s4 users can have 100% compatible aosp as son as the source is released? I don't know how different the models for each carrier are.
