So now that we have seen the One become available on the other two carriers, let's post any updates on the HTC One from T-Mobile USA, as far as when and what versions become available for order, etc., as well as observations, suggestions, questions about T-Mobile specific HTC One specs, etc.
I for one would like to keep my eye on a few things to start with, so I'll kick it off:
Will T-Mobile/HTC ever actually make a One available in 64GB? (very wishful thinking).
How well does the HTC One perform with the radios that have been enabled specifically for T-Mobile's upgrading network?
If you see proof positive of T-Mobile taking orders, post it!
Thoughts on initial build quality and possible coming improvements to hold out for before ordering? (since we are the last to order these, might as well look at the bright side and hope to avoid initial build issues by not hastily ordering

I believe the HTC One 64 GB is a timed at&t exclusive. T-mobile as of now will only have the One in silver. Hopefully black will come soon for those who what it. Maybe since the iPhone launch is behind them they can announce a launch date for the One now.

aw man i was hoping to grab the black one on launch
I think the bigger question is when exactly is this phone going to come out?
Sure I've saw online that it's the 19th! But then I've called around to tmobile stores and Called customer care and they don't have a clue :banghead:
Even worse some say it may be lunched with the Samsung galaxy s4 on May 1st
Anyways, does anyone have a date when pre-orders will ship with bestbuy or letstalk?

No carrier has the black one as HTC doesn't have them for US initially. They are small potatoes they can't handle both colors launching at once. I hope tmobile releases end of month but I think they are pushing iPhone. I am sure in order to get iPhone from apple they committed to heavily advertising and pushing that phone at least for a while.
TMO Radio
I am wondering whether I can just order the developer one, and then just flash the TMO radio on it once that launches. There should be nothing really different between the devices. Does anybody know if I could do that?
I went to speak to a Tmo rep and he said this, The HTC One is delayed and we probably wont see it until May. Makes me very sad! I was really looking forward to it being available for the 19th! I too want the htc one in black but all i've seen is silver and the only black i've seen with hopes of being released is sprint. If you go to their homepage you will see Black coming soon! I'm not sure what to do if the Galaxy is launched before the one for tmo.. decisions, decisions.. lol
I don't really wanna pay high att prices but sometimes money don't matter when you want the ONE and u want it on the 19th..I would of gone with.the unlocked but they have done with the reframing in OK.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
I am trying to think why would T-mobile not make an announcement about the one. I mean can they not handle launching another phone alongside the iphone? I don't understand. The longer they wait the more people will go to S4 initially and then if it takes longer maybe something from Google at the I/O no? I guess Tmobile doesn't care if you buy the s4 or something else as long as you are with them. More phones more customers no?
The T-Mobile phones are already made and just waiting for T-Mobile go ahead.

What does tmobile care? This weekend proved that iphones make them boat loads of money. As well as the galaxy line. Those are important. I'm hotly awaiting the one but I don't remember an HTC device that wasn't overshadowed by Samsung.

So, looking to upgrade and kick Sprint to the curb after 12 years with Nextel, and Ting is looking like a really fine service as far as four line family plans go. I'm kicking around my HTC Hero, (CM7, gonna try ICS Beta for it's last huzzah.) and was looking for a more powerful Android. Was thinking about getting a feature phone or a mifi, and complementing it with a Galaxy Player. But the Photon looks really, really nice all of a sudden, with 4G and GSM compatibility. Toss in the best specs on a month-to-month phone that I've seen, I'm seriously considering dropping $550 on this thing. Please talk me out of it?
I don't know if you are in the states, but US gsm towers are blocked.
Edit: The photon is featured in their front page, and it gives incorrect/conflicting information about the phone.

^ Yeah, I know that. Kinda hoping that might be unblocked by the time I'm interested in it, if I want to jump to T-Mobile in the future. I know it's a long shot, but it would be nice to have.

i sent them numerous emails about it :/ lady was real nice but kept claiming they had fixed it
Seriously? Probably should have caught that earlier with all the looking up I did on the phone.
Just get Ting are you in Canada?
Stateside. And with the Photon kinda being oversold on the Ting website, and not that great a bump from the Conquer, dual core nonwithstanding, I'm still a little confuzled on what I want.
How future-proof would you say this thing is, regarding still being competitive in the next couple years? Tend to run them until they dead or unserviceable, and if blow a massive chunk of my tax return, might as well make it last a while.
Experience with Ting thus far...
Hi all,
I recently changed carriers from AT&T (using Motorola Atrix 4G) to Ting (Motorola Photon 4G) and I have recently unlocked the bootloader (yes, I lost 4G connectivity), rooted, and installed the latest version of Rocko ROM with Alien Theme.
Everything has worked out so far and I am having a good experience with the device and with Ting Mobile, from their no wait phone service policy, to their dashboard web interface. I can't really speak to the relative degree of future proofing the Photon may have compared to other phones, I am just happy that I could get away from paying so much for a similar tier of service at AT&T and not necessarily have to compromise on a phone, though not being able to use GSM towers with a prepaid SIM card is a bummer, but otherwise, so far so good. Take care all.

No phone is future proof the way things are flowing manufacturers are cracking phones out of their ass every 3 months or so. You have to look at the development threads that will tell you how active the phone is on the developers on xda are and that should give you an insight on how worth it is.

I disagree. Just because it's a mobile virtual network operator doesn't mean the the files are the same. On the contrary, I'd bet anyone using one of these device could confirm their notification bar and lock screen show Ting as the carrier, not sprint, which means at a minimum the framework-res/eri.xml has been edited, meaning it's not the same file despite being on "technically" the same network.
I'd like to see a system dump of one of these. I think there are magic elves locked inside

How you guys dealing with edge on tmo. HotSpot/Wifi Spots. I have an N1 running Ice Cream Sandwich which works as a HS or so they say. I have awhile left on contract with tmo but would eventually want att lte, I think. Not sure tmo even when they roll out lte will have the Note work on their lte. But, gues i can switch to att at that time. All these phones are looking small after playing with the Note at stores. Maybe the SGSIII will compete at 4.8 and quad/ICS. I want speed and good signal strength in Dayton Oh. Something I don't get on N1 in Dayton, at least at home and work. Just got to play with calendar more. Seems not as user friendly as ICS/GB. Maybe just practice. Screen doesn't seem responsive to touch esp in week view. Sorry for getting off topic and jumping in. But, very much interested in phone.

Just want honest opinion don't care about price or weather I have LTE on it I have the EVO LTE but also want the s3 .
Issue is I really don't want another contract with sprint .
So I'm leaning to the interational one its my first int device and like the community but the two gigs ram is attractive
Thanks people
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
since u were nice enough to pm, i'll answer and I think u should do the US version, it's gonna have the dual core which outshines the current quad cores, plus you would have working LTE here instead a slower data, assuming you live in the states, and witht he 2gb of ram, can't really see a reason to go international...
I'm in the same boat but you need to factor in faster dev support on the int compared to the US. If you're a constant flasher like myself, its a hard decision to make.
Here are my pros (YMMV)
Int:
Quad Core
Better GPU
32/64gb int storage (I believe there are 32gb flavors out there)
faster dev support
US:
LTE
2GB
cheaper (i believe full retail is 549.99 or 599.99, correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm in Canada and decided to go LTE because it should still be able to work in Europe when I go. But it has better hardware.
The downside to the international in NA you will be stuck on the EDGE/CDMA network, which is a major downside.

Well at the time the off contract was not available yet it is but thinking its near impossible to get a good price if u want to sell a us version phone without taking a huge hit eg if I want to sell after 14 days yea I can put it at its close to full price but cutting contract is a major drop many more people in my experience buy unlocked devices myself included I'm hating sprint service over all on the lte and epic touch is horrid in the new England area .
I got both cause I will let my gf use the us one maybe lol but as of now I'd rather play with the over clocking and roms in the international forums .
Dev support should be great but as u see in the us sgs2 we are still using repacked stock kernels ..
To many politics over here thus why people say the int version will have more support .. I'm not sure that's true I mean numbers don't lie us and Canada are gonna be big on the dev scene but updates and proper source plague us in the us

Yeah, my blame should have been toward Verizon mostly. I really do hate Verizon between forcing us off our grandfathered plans, loading their phones with bloat and delaying updates.
I'm most likely waiting till the new iPhone and new Nexus devices come out (later this year most likely) and then buy one outright and hand my phone to my mother so we can stay on unlimited data. Nexus because of AOSP, iPhone because Apple usually gets what Apple wants and doesn't let the carriers load their phones with rubbish (Same with the nexus).

Try telling that to AT&T's support people. I have a co-worker who has been dealing with them for a week because they dropped her data plan when she got a Galaxy Nexus (unlocked) to replace her Atrix which got stolen. Their system doesn't recognize the phone, so it apparently refuses to let them set it up with a smartphone data plan. I told her she should try going into the store and see if they can fix it (and refuse to leave until it is).
I ran into something similar when I was with them a couple of years ago. I bought an unlocked Nokia E63 (technically a smartphone), but their system insisted on letting me keep my $30 unlimited data + text plan at the time, instead of making me upgrade to more expensive separate data and text messaging plans. I'm guessing in order to force people who get smartphones onto smartphone plans, they have to program their billing system to know which phones are considered smartphones. If you bring your own device, it throws a monkey wrench into that process. The US carriers take a good idea (portability, which is inherent in the way GSM works) and completely screw it up.

I'm in the same boat. I might just sell my Rezound on Craigslist and buy a nexus.

I just love how HTC completely gives everyone the run around. We were supposed to have ICS months ago. Thank god the devs were able to give us awesome stable ICS roms literally months before this OTA.

I just wanna defend HTC here. If I remember correctly, June-July was the estimate HTC officially gave us. Somebody done lied to you, son.

All carriers have their drawbacks. The only one I would consider it would be at&t because you can use most any gsm phone.

Going to TMobile when my contract expires in 2014, riding unlimited until then.

Yeah I guess if they wait until the end of july to give us ICS then JellyBean will be just our of reach... what a shock.

That's what I am thinking as well. I really like the sound of T-Mobile's $30 a month plan.
I already switched to AT&T. Sold the rezound and picked up a one x. cheaper bill, and same service? Yup!

When the Rezound came out, HTC announced that the Rezound would one of the first phones to receive ICS in I believe January or February. That was later changed to Mayish and then changed to July. Granted this is likely Verizon's fault but its still unfortunate that HTC has to bend to Verizon's will when Google and Apple basically say **** you to them which is why I'm likely going to either the iPhone or next Nexus depending on which hardware is more enticing.
Just got back from Verizon in Rochester NY. A representative from Samsung was there showing off the s4. I had about 5 min hands on time with it. Absolutely amazing. Official launch date for Verizon is may 23rd. They will be doing preorders a couple weeks in advance. Price will be 199.99 with 2 year activation. You better believe ill be preordering it.

That leaked Staples memo had the Verizon date at 5/30. I'm not complaining though, hope you're right. My 2-year contract ended in February and I've been waiting since then for the S4...
Sweeeeeetttt

I asked the Verizon dude about that. He said he cant speak for staples, but he, the gm of that particular Verizon, and that Samsung rep guaranteed me that verizons official launch date is may 23rd, accepting preorders a few weeks in advance. Just watch, and remember my post.

I actually went there to buy an sgs3 because I've been eligible for an upgrade since November. The guys said that if i came there earlier in the morning wanting to buy the sgs3, they would have told me to buy it because before the rep from Samsung showed up, they didn't know exactly when they were gonna get it. So I'm lucky i went when i did, because if i bought the s3 just to find out i could get the s4 on the 23rd, i would have been kicking myself in the ass.

What?
Any chance you can find out how much it will be off contract? 16GB/32GB/64GB variants?

Still on unlimited data (the only reason I'm on Verizon). Can't get the upgrade cost of $199 without losing it.

Samsungs PR released today states it will be on Verizon by the end of April. Looks like they are keeping their reps out of the loop!
The Galaxy S 4 is optimized for powerful performance on the nation’s fastest networks and will be available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless as well as U.S. Cellular, Cricket and C Spire starting during April. Additionally, consumers can find the Galaxy S 4 at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile, Costco, Radio Shack, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Wal-Mart. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers and retailers in the coming weeks.

It's a poorly worded press release. My guess is that the release meant that it will be available on those 7 carriers, some of which will start in April.
@VZWnews @VerizonWireless @Verizon I still have unlimited internet after 4/21 can I buy new galaxy s4 cell using the new 12 month payment plan that's effective on 4/21 without upgrading to the 200sub? Does anyone know I think everyone who still has unlimited internet should ask Verizon this.. I wanna get the new s4 but keep my unlimited internet so will this 12month thing work for me?

Should be the same as buying for full price. They just allow you to put the rest of the cost into your monthly payments. Would be extremely low of them to force you off unlimited since you're not extending your contract that way. I don't even know if they're allowed to do that. But yes I highly recommend calling a Verizon Wireless rep and confirming on this before doing that. Verizon is so sensitive about unlimited data plans now that even the smallest change could give them a reason to force you off. If you do get confirmation be sure to let us know.
I tweeted them asking them the same question in 6 different ways so if I don't hear anything soon its cause there avoiding the question..

Honestly I would just call them directly. Their twitter is useless. I am not able to get any answer from them that I don't know already.
I guess it's official then
