CTIA Verizon Announcement - HTC Droid DNA

Well, that was depressing. The good news is that we will probably get a way better phone than the one seeing as the butterfly 2 is keeping its 5" display and probably Snapdragon 800 in that bad boy. That being said, even though the announcement was a let down, I'm kind of excited seeing as the buttefly 2 isn't restricted to keeping the same specs as the one. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

that was pathetic.
all i can say is that, despite not having pics of a verizon branded htc one, i've seen it. believe me or not, that's your choice...but yeah, i've seen proof that verizon will be getting the One...and i was hoping for a June/July release...but now after today not being the announcement, i'm kinda upset. bah!

I work for HTC as a field rep and they haven't told me anything about it.

ugh too far! but nice stuff. i met an HTC field rep a few months back, i forget his name, though. he was the first rep to ever visit my old store. i got into contact with HTC and literally a day later they sent a rep to my store..pretty awesome customer service.

They gave me a sprint HTC one and wow god awful service.... I just tether my DNA to it lol. After having the one I side with the one. Honestly feels so much more polished plus my HTC one is s-off !!

so i must confess...i caved about opened up a second line (its for my grandmother..i took the smartphone and put her on a basic one. lol) and got the S4...HTC has spoiled me. Just adding apps to my homescreen is annoying. the way the screen gets all small and theres crap all over the place. i guess its nice and all with the options and junk but htc keps it simple. folders alone are annoying...i have to click on create a folder then drag them into it vs just dragging apps over each other and auto creating it...the sound the s4 is capable of is sad...touchwiz is still lagging its phones, its not major but enough to annoy me. i dont get whats the big deal about this phone... debating to return it or just make money off it. Its only my first day with it and i want back to my DNA!! i might return it in hopes that the next htc phone is the One if not something better....
P.S.
Another reason i bought it is because HTC lost alot of big wigs and the comments that followed were not too positive about HTC's future...

Yea this may be a discussion for another thread entirely. I personally wasn't all that impressed with my one and only samsung device to date which was the GNexus. I've enjoyed my Droid X, Razr, Thunderbolt, and DNA way more then I liked it. After having my DNA I really don't mind missing out on the S4. Doesn't seem like it can offer much more then a little faster hardware. Which I feel like the DNA is pretty darn quick to begin with.
I really hope that HTC isn't on the spiral down. I though the Thunderbolt and DNA had pretty great build quality and it looked like it was on the up and up with the One. We had a pretty large discussion on why they're going the way they are and we kinda felt like it is from them screwing things up with Google and the whole Nexus line, turning their back on the modding community, and poor marketing.

they didnt announce any phones at CTIA. it was all a marketting plan or whatever u wanna call it. the Butterfly 2 is already in production and some stuff was leaked about how its in the works. Since the the first Butterfly was the DNA counterpart, that means the the Butterfly 2 thats suppose to be out in third qtr might show up a month after the butterfly 2 release. just google butterfly 2 and you'll see alot of posts about the leaks and rumors.

Played with a brand new s4 today my friend paid $742 for and its felt just like an s3. Dna is much better!

This matches up with leaked specs for HTC's new 5" phone.
Those benchmarks look great, but I think I'll wait until we get screenshots and more info (SD card? Removable battery?) before I think about jumping ship or not.

At least you have a choice. Being a teenager I can't afford to buy an off contract phone and still keep up with paying for the part of the plan I pay for.
I guess I need to start thinking about carrying a murse (man purse) around with all these huge screens coming out, or maybe a fanny pack, or a belt holster . Or maybe those huge rave pants will become trendy again...

I hope it does have removable memory and removable battery but won't bug me to much if it doesn't have a removable battery if it's a good size. I think all HTC devices on VZW have those things and maybe could be a requirement for HTC devices on VZW? Plus the Dinc 4G did and that's a variant of the one series.

or, you could buy a smaller screen phone. Just because a 5" phone comes out, doesn't mean you have to buy it.

I don't want to waste a thread but I'm saying farewell.

I've been with the Rezound for over a year now and haven't asked much from you guys but to me every little bit of info you give me is a wealth of knowledge. So wanted to say thank you and its been great, but its time to move up to different and better thing's (DNA). But buying the phone outright so I will have my Rezound still and will use it as a WiFi only device. Won't be upgrading due to lost unlimited data, so I opted to buy the DNA out of pocket. So till next time, Thank You All, Love You All..

And its confirmed that Verizon is getting this phone that hasn't even been announced yet? And 2 months after that the gs4 will be getting announced and then a note 3, and so on and so on...
I know it's always the next big thing and next and so on but when the phone the DNA should have been is coming out in March why not wait especially when paying cash for the full amount. 16gb upgraded to 32gb, bigger battery, better processor, to each his own I am holding out for this X phone from Google/Motorola if selling phones from the play store is going to be a yearly thing I will be doing that each year to keep my unlimited data. If Verizon tries to come up with some kinda [email protected] block and say if u buy from google we will take your data away if you don't pay the extra $15 a month I am taking my 4 lines and leaving. But if he likes the DNA its up to him I was just saying why not wait for the M7 he never wrote back so he is long gone.

I'm coming up on upgrades on my kids' lines next month so I'm curious to see what is coming down the pipe. right now, I'm leaning towards the note 2, but if this M7 comes along, it could be a great phone.
M7 and the M4 are rumored to support LTE "where available." meaning, verizon most likely is going to have it, and HOPEFULLY it's not going to be in the Droid line.
i'm excited for it. i think i'd rather have the 4.7 inch size than the giant 5.0 inch the DNA was. i loved the DNA, but i think the M7 is gonna be great. i'll probably end up buying one off contract lol

Will Summer 2014 bring a third-gen Evo?

I really like the Evo branding, with the kickstand and stylized red & black body. My contract is up in 2014 Spring, so I hope they push out a new EVO line around that time.
Do you think there is sufficient chance Sprint will do this? :highfive:
Fingers crossed.

Hopefully they don't fail a second time by putting the charge port in a bad place preventing the kickstand from working while charging...epic fail for HTC designers on our LTEvo.

The charging port being where it's at makes using docks much much easier than it being on the bottom.
I, too, think that the EVO line is dead. Thus has been a debate ever since the One was in the works. We might get something that is like a new Evo, and I wouldn't doubt that somebody will say that "Xxxx Phone" is the new Evo.

Then why didn't they flip the kickstand? I knew you could do that, not rocket science, thanks anyways for your two sense. The angle at which the phone sits in reverse is lower than when the kickstand is used as designed, so it is not the same. I never said they should have put the charging port at "the bottom", HTC could have simply placed the kickstand in reverse to allow the phone to charge with the cable on top and docking could still work as most docking stations won't ever use the kickstand to assist in holding the phone on the docking station.

sort of expecting an announcement end of this year or beginning of next. If anyone remembers how sprint/HTC roll there is a top tier phone every 2 years with a decent device every other year. Evo og year one, year 2 evo 3d, year 3 evo lte, year 4 HTC one (though this is better than decent)....what's for year 5? Honestly I can't really imagine anything better than the ONE so soon but, stranger things have happened. I also can't see evo's being dead. Before the galaxies, evo was the top selling series of phones for sprint. Guess we can hypothesize all night long but those are my 2 cents.

I'm fine with that but seems to early since "leaked" pictures are rolling out everywhere. Plus HTC is pushing for re branding. Could be huge things in wake. I'm kind of getting excited. Desperate times for a company who can get their chit together rather than flopping, can potentially pull of some amazing feats to leave us drooling.
lets hope not

What does a name matter? Go all the way back to the OG. It was special compared to it's family members on other networks. They needed upgrades to match it. That's why it matters. That's also why the OG took off and is still holding on this long after going EOL. Not named EVO it won't be purchased by me.
For that I can say that I think I read back before the One released that dropping 2 different versions of the device was costing HTC to much so now it is intended that only 1 version will be created to encompass all carriers and One is the name they liked. But Sprint is really beginning to have a bad habit of not selling a lot of the better phones so who knows how much longer they will even sell HTC. Sucks pretty bad when I gotta give up Sprint just to get a BlackBerry. Don't hope for Nokia either and with the reports coming that Apple is dropping i5 and i4 and possibly even i4s from production you may not find them much longer either. HTC better do something great to save them.
Its not Sprint's fault HTC doesn't sell. How many commercials in comparison have you seen of anything Samsung versus HTC or advertisement in general? HTC in my opinion has much better products versus just about everyone else yet no one will agree because they don't advertise worth a damn. Word of mouth is all they've been for so many years. Yeah its sorta worked but Samsung kinda surpassed by a bit. Can't wait to see how this Downey Jr thing won't go. Think HTC is more or less making a fool out of themselves with their ways of promoting devices when they should get their s together and make a convicing argument to the average consumer looking to support a new device. Eh, my 2 pennies for the jar.

No 4.3 for EVO LTE HOW DOES IT FEEL

Android 4.3 Hitting US-Based HTC One Models Soon, Says HTC Insider - No Android 4.3 for the One S and EVO LTE | Androidheadlines.com
Pretty much sucks. Here I come Swappa! then off to Nexus 4 or Moto X via AIO, Straight talk, or Tmobile. I'll never buy another phone if it isn't a Sammy or Google.
it doesn't matter...we have awesome developers who are currently working on that sense 5 port! just a little bit more waiting, and we'll have android 4.3.
I've been on 4.3 since early August.

EVO still on local shelves. You'll get 4.2 or 4.3 definitely. They will do it like the original Evo Gingerbread update. You'll get it with no UI change.

I love it. This is so true. I don't care how many janky ports there are! I need my phone to be updated and work as it should. No disrespect to the devs but HTC makes it too difficult to make things work as Sense is too deep into the system.
As for Sprint I just shake my head. I live in Milwaukee and I haven't seen good service ever. I have a VZ Pantech for work and its data is great. I also have been testing T-Mobile hotspot that I got from Walmart which I tether mySprint phone to. I get about 6 down and 3 up.
This wasn't the icing on the cake but just shows y HTC can't compete with the big boys. I mean look at the S2 its been updated. This is y I'm going Nexus or Moto for here on out

I'm sick of paying 199.00 for a phone to stay in contract for two years. My contract isn't up and already screwed. You want to know why? The Sprint parties and maby HTC think ill upgrade to the one. Don't count your lucky stars! Ill go with Samsung or heck I may even take a look at the new Apple. I'm not even sure at this point I want to give Sprint my business on anything. The whole deal makes me sick!

Janky? Lol
So the lte and s won't get it, that leaves a few devices with similar specs which will. as for sense being too deep uhh yea it can be but that doesn't stop me, it just takes longer. My advice for you is that you unroot and get a nexus also stay unrooted its little ****s like you that ruin the android community you wouldn't be rooted if it were not for a one click tool you're pathetic with the whining and *****ing we devs aren't your parents and I doubt you're a toddler so stfu already.

No 4.3? Big deal. I have better things in life to pour my emotions into.
Quite frankly, I care about Sense 5, not Android 4.3. Having 4.2.2 surely is a bonus over Sense 4.1 (port) didn't the quick settings and few lockscreen widgets. I've tested Sense 5, and the lighter UI improves performance immediately. Even the multitasking problem is much better (not like CM 10.1, but MUCH better than Sense 4.1).
You have to face the facts that our device is aging. That's how HTC does it. I KNEW that before I bought this phone, and I'm sure that most of you did too. Samsung can update its old flagship (like the S2) because MUCH more people purchased those handsets. HTC provided support for the OG EVO for a pretty decent period of time because of the big impact that it made.
You have to remember, the EVO 4G LTE is SPRINT'S flagship, NOT HTC! We are lucky enough to get the recognition to be listed on the to-be-updated list while we are over here on the back burner. I expect the One to get much better support than our phone because it is a carrier-wide flagship, unlike the Evo or the Incredible (who might not even get Sense 5,so be happy!).
Basically, this is a business, and the masses have already moved onto the One. Look at how many devs - OUR DEVS - have moved on. It should actually be in the company's best interest to please those people as well as the general public who have actually upgraded their phones to the latest handsets as well.
Lastly, I'm not sure how many of the new features that our phones will actually benefit from, aside from the TRIM feature, which can be found in the Lagfix app in the play store. There aren't a great deal of UI changes. The only one that comes to mind is the "elimination method" that you see while dialing a number. Android 4.2 is just as nice as 4.3. But AOSP isn't for me either. I'll stick with what the HTC devs push out.
[/RANT]
In a nutshell, this is how the business works. If you don't care about buying the latest and best, than they don't charge much about you. While I don't agree with it, I don't want to hear whiners who complain about it. Oh well. That's how it feels.

aw damn, beat me to my own post lol, I knew somebody was going to see that and post it on XDA
Saw that earlier on his Twitter feed. I think too many people assumed that since he said we weren't getting 4.3 that we weren't getting updated at all, which isn't the case, at least according to his info.
Is there a clear understanding when htc will get this update. I heard end of september or sometime october, and that the update would be 4.2.2 with sense 5 and that would be the last major update for the phone. P.S. sources say sprint already has the update but, it is under review. I am trying too find the rdf weblink for the phone too see exactly with coming soon too us, but the rdf link i have only shows back when the phone was released.
This is the only link I have too get the latest update rdf info from sprint

Galaxy S5 to M8 because of no root

I have been an avid Samsung fan and have had the S1,S2 and S3. In between I had the HTC inspire 4G, so I know what it's like to have experienced htc. Never did get the S4 due to being on a 2 year contract with the S3. And now it's time for me to finally upgrade, I naturally went with the S5,which I found out after the fact that its boot loader is locked. This, like with many ppl here,is a deal breaker for me. I waited and waited for root or an exploit to be found,and still nothing. So I finally decided to take the plunge and try out the m8 since root and boot loader unlock is possible. And wow this thing is nice.. highly impressed. Definitely the premium feel that a lot of ppl talk about. The only thing that is better on the S5 is the screen. The M8 colors look a little washed out in comparison. But not a deal breaker for me. I will be rooting this phone real soon. Glad I made the switch

One of the exact reasons I ditch my S4 after 4 months,...I HATED the fact that Samsung and Verizon locked that sucker down so tight! I left my M7 for the S4 and regretted it so much, I left Verizon after those 4 months (and a 300 ETF), to go back to HTC with the M8 and ATT lol
Actually I was able to root, but that was it
The locked bootloader on the S5 is one of the main reasons I decided against it, in favor of the M8. That, and the exterior design on the M8 is simply much higher end, and I also love the front facing speakers. And TouchWiz while not as horrible as past iterations, is still pretty awful.
If the colors on the M8's diplay don't look as vivid, it may be that you are used the AMOLED on your old S3, which many considered to have over-saturated colors. Its a matter of personal preference whether the over-saturation looks better (many hated it). The S5 isn't quite so artificially over-saturated, and IMO not all that different in color reproduction from the M8. Contrast is always going to be better on a AMOLED than on a LED, as the contrast ratio is effectively infinite. But the M8 still has one of the best smartphone displays around.
In any case, glad you are enjoying your new M8. Welcome to the fold!

I rooted and unlocked as soon as I got my M8 also.. (I came from S3)
The only thing I have done with it since getting it is changing the boot up / down screens and removing CarrierIQ. Otherwise it's bone stock.
I don't run the Sense launcher, but really only because I got used to Nova after using it for so long on that horrible Touchwiz.. Sense is so good, I really don't see a need to do a custom rom.
On my Infuse & S3 I was die hard CyanogenMod user. Haven't even bothered with it on this phone.
Just got a HTC One M8, selling my Galaxy S5

I did the same with the m7 and s4 last year. I realized that I enjoyed the speakers more than the higher mp camera. I ditched my nexus 5 because I can enjoy stock android whenever I get that itch with the gpe rom or conversion ruu. The phone is just so versatile.

Two days ago I bought the note3 after being a satisfied note2 user.
Little did I know that the latest kit kat update hard locked the boot loader and removed all possibility of root.
Haven't had an HTC since my inspire 4g. Loved that phone... Now I love my m8 after returning that God awful note3.
Worth every penny of the $35 restock fee.
Long live the king, HTC. Thank you for giving me a phone that is wonderful out of the box and giving me the ability to make it more wonderful within minutes if owning the phone.
Boo Samsung. Go get your NSA and government contracts cuz you've lost the Dev community and Joe consumer is soon to follow.

After giving it a few days to test the hardware and make sure that there are no defects, I finally unlocked, rooted, and ROMed my M8. So nice to be free again to mod how I see fit with a phone I paid full price off contract for. This whole locking thing is about as asinine as if Dell or HP decided to lock their PCs to the point where you couldn't install anything other than Windows (let's hope it doesn't ever get to that point). I just read that an infamous developer who hacked the PS3 and iphones announced that he rooted the locked S5's but is not choosing to release the root method. So much for open source and modding. Anyways, I'm enjoying my M8 even more now. :good::good:

Yea I saw. They probably will still have a locked bootloader. I had the S5 for a month and I'm enjoying the M8 more. The S5 is nice but it might as well been called the 4S prime. And touchwiz is in desperate need of an overhaul like sense 3.0 vs sense 6.0. The new sense is very streamlined and modern.

Regardless,,,I had my Verizon S4 rooted, but the bootloader was still locked so no custom recovery, no custom roms, and no kernals!

Same here. Had the s1,s2, s3, note 2, and s4. And because of the lock bootlader/lack of root, now i've got the M8. There are a few things to get used to, but I absolutely love it. I'll probably grab a 1+ also if I ever get an invite.
