Hello!
I'm eagerly awaiting for this phone to come to Verizon.. I know it has yet to be 100% confirmed with a release date, but I'm just waiting for the day.
I understand it also doesn't guarantee that Verizon will get the D.E. version, and may only carry the HTC One w/sense UI.
My question is - if Verizon has the Sense UI version, and the bootloader is unlocked, would it be possible to flawlessly port the D.E. ROM from another carrier over to the Verizon version?
This could sway my decision to go with the Cheaper Moto X instead until a better HTC option is on Verizon.

It being Verizon makes it incompatible with gsm versions in their stock form.

Hello guys, I am looking to buy an Android device on T-Mobile USA. The phone doesn't have to be sold at T-Mo stores; rather, should be unlocked and fully working on HSPA (not just 2G).
Two devices that I have in mind are the HTC One S and the soon to be released Samsung GSiii. If anyone could pick between those or any others that are released/soon to be released, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
HTC HD2 it may come with windows mobile 6.5 but it can do almost everything under the sun. Currently using with dual booting windows 7.5 tango and a nexus port of ice cream sandwhich and its easy to work with when flashing roms.
Currently flashing a sense 2.1 build for a friend on a LG P505 and the whole process is ugly. Best of luck on whatever you chose.
Thanks, but I'm looking for a very new device shipped with ICS. HTC HD2 is a warhorse, but I don't want it lol.
How about an Amaze or Sensation? If they still have them

hey guys.
I don`t know if this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering what are the main difference between htc one international version and developers edition apart from the the 64gb storage difference and the bootloader, I am not going to use this phone in usa but am ordering it from htc usa store or amazon.com.
I would really appreciate it if anyone can provide me with some info.
thanks
I think your describing the dev edition with the 64gb and unlocked bootloader.
It's unbranded and has a cid with all 1's it receives updates straight from HTC sooner than branded devices

The dev edition isn't SuperCID
It's BS_US001
.. and definitely has *not* received updates faster than intl variants. it just got it's first official update from 1.29..3 to 1.29...16 around the middle of May, well after others reported getting .16 and even .17 . That is the only update that has ever been released for that phone (so far). meanwhile certain parts of the world are already getting 2.17.xxx
Title says it all.
I'm currently on an HTC One but have the option to change phones via company contract.
Now, I am happy with the One but getting an itch to switch.
How does the G2 compare against the One and S4 in terms of hardware?
Also, how much custom development will be going into the G2?

This is something I have been thinking about as well. However because the S4 and HTC One have Google Editions i am sure those are going to get better Dev support. The G2 is better hardware wise. Only time will tell when it comes to dev support.You may want to wait and see what the Nexus 5 looks like in the next month or two and then pick.

Out of all those phone the HTC One will have the better development. It has an unlockable bootloader and is the exact same as the international version, google version, and all other GSM versions.
The rest of the choice is completely user pref. 5.0 AMOLED vs. 4.7 SUPER LCD vs. 5.2 IPS LCD, plastic vs. metal, TW vs. LG vs. Sense, Ultra Pixel vs. 13 MP, HUGE BATTERY vs. 2300 mah vs. 2600 removable, future updates for the next few android version (HTC's and Samsung's track record) vs. Questionable updates if any, perfect Google Edition experience vs. possibly never having it, 800 snapdragon vs. 600, and the list goes on.
With the locked bootloader it will slow down development for a while and might even turn people away from this phone. Only time will tell... Just do not buy a phone assuming that the bootloader will be hacked because it may not. Buy it because you like it as is

unlockable bootloader? Only very limited HTC Ones were unlocked on Verizon via htcdev.com. This was quickly shut down a few hours after release. The bootloader is locked, and currently there is no way to unlock. Development is slow on the VZW side.
The sgs4 has much more dev due to Loki and a lot more phones being unlocked at this time.

I did not know you were talking about the verizon model. Only the Verizon model blocks the unlock, all the rest (Sprint, Tmobile, AT&T) accept it (last time I checked)
With verizon aside compare the development for the AT&T S4 and HTC One and you will see what I mean.
All,
i would like to buy new HOX + since my HTC incredible s is stolen..i love HTC & Sense, and HOX + comes in my budget..but, in ebay i can get only ATT or Telus version HOX..but i live in india, worried whether the reception is very low since my friend is also using S3 ATT version n signal strength is weak..
Just want to know whether Flashing a radio of internation version to ATT version would brick the device or works well?
Any idea from experts? based on this factor only i will place my order in ebay.
Thanks all guys Really a great community this is.
PS: i know there is no KK official update for this device. Just gone through the forum and can see many active development going on..Only intention of buying this device is cos of this great dev community

From what I've heard, no. The international and ATT is different and plus the phone would probably not allow you to flash the radio of another device, unless you are s-off. I don't think it was ever done but it's probably not worth the brick. BTW there is not much development going on for the HOX+ atm. Hopefully things will kick up soon. The Samsung s3 is different than the HOX+ , maybe it will be better maybe worst. I get better signal than my dad's Note 3.

I would like the know the reasoning why it will not get an official update. The phone is more than capable of running it. Maybe HTC did not sell too many of them, but my phone was on 4.4.2 when I bought it, so I have had it just over a year with no OS update. I am not overly concerned about not getting it, just want to know why! I would not want 5.0 anyhow, and I would bet that is what would have been pushed to it. I am not an Apple fan, but this is one area that they are better than Android. I have an old iPad 2, and it is on the latest IOS version. That tablet is about 5 years old! With Android devices, you are lucky to get one major OS upgrade before support for the device is dropped like a rock!
Wonder if Verizon couldn't put all their bloatware on it as it is already being upgraded in other countries. Other carriers also seem to want to go ahead with it. I'm seriously thinking of switching back to AT&T now. Was looking forward to Lollipop as after the last security updates, I've been having issues with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. Was actually thinking of keeping this device after contract expired. However now I'll probably look for another manufacturer and another carrier.
