[Q] "AT&T Software Update" vs "About>Software Updates" - AT&T HTC One (M7)

Can someone explain the difference between the "AT&T Software Update" item in Settings versus the "About" then "Software Updates" option?
As far as I can tell the AT&T update takes a lot longer to check for updates and can only be done once per day. The About/Software updates check takes less time and can be repeated as often as you want. But I can't tell what they each actually check for.
Do they check for different things?
Will only the AT&T one get the major updates?
Is the About/Software updates only check for apps?
I am trying to figure out what the value of having both is. Thank you!
If it makes any difference, stock AT&T 4.1.2, not rooted.

The att one is where you will receive the 4.3 ota through the htc one is for their own piece like updating the phone for the hd media player.

My phone says there is an update, but the server is too busy

Is this it? Could it be the long awaited ICS?
If so, I hope the GPS bug from the last leak is fixed.
"Current software is up to date" is all I see.
Anybody else? I am in Canada on Bell, on Team Perfection rom so I cannot verify anything here.
More than likely not ics.
Way to tell us what carrier you are on, OP.
Current Software is up to date
ATT US
Pics, or it didn't happen.

nothing from KIES or checking OTA with ATT. Software is up to date.
Happened on mine the other day (USA ATT), but my guess is that is the default message that appears when you check for a software update with weak/fringe cellular service.
I attached a screencap of the message.
Trust me its not it lol

I had the same thing the other day. Happened when I received my replacement phone from At&t.

Every damn time someone's phone can't reach the server, we have to see a thread about it.
Hey at&t, the wording of that message sucks and confuses people.
It happened to me the other day.... I checked xda and there were no party-popers going off so I cried :crying: a little and figured it was a false alarm
I doubt it will come OTA. More likely on Kies like the SGSII on ATT.
Update
my Korean Galaxy note is trying to update with a 34.75MB update i am not sure what it is as my phone will not take it because it is rooted and has a custom recovery. The phone reboots to install the update but fails. Any Ideal what I can do ?

do you think it could be the CWM recovery or the Root that is stopping the update or fail ? BTW I am already using Stock 4.0.3 Korean Phone Model E160L....dont know what this update is about

1.29 update

Is it possible to install the 1.29 update on an ATT HTC One? Would I require an unlocked bootloader to do that? Are there repercussions I should be aware of?
You can flash any International ROM once you're unlocked/rooted/custom recovery. All of which are most likely based on .29 WWE firmware.

If your reason for flashing is because the camera and beats improvements. There's no need. The att firmware shipped with the improvements.

Well that is pretty disappointing considering my pictures have horrible over exposure still with any kind of bright light or the sky. The 1.26 to 1.29 images from the PocketNow test are vastly improved. My AT&T One still looks like the pre-updated international firmware pics.

The whole point of having software versioning in increasing order is to correspond to new developments. I have hard time believing the camera, beats and any other "improvements" made in 1.29 is in AT&T's 1.26.
Surely if this were true someone would have some proof. Let's see it?

Doesn't require anything special. Just takes them getting the tuning right. Then they bring the intl version up to date. Hence them getting different version. Remember they released first.

I'm still calling BS. It makes absolutely no sense that one version would be different than another for the exact same development. Anyone that believes otherwise is just naive. There is proof one way or the other, it just has to be revealed.
I'm not saying you're "lying" btw. Just having a fun debate. :good:
No. there are DEF improvements in the INT firmware Period. in camera. and especially back button and home button response. flash away

Why not. Do you know how product cycles work? They just don't make all the phones at one time... Theres the pre production phones which were at the announcement and early reviewers. Then they would of started the intl version production soon after if not it was already done. If they decided to make an adjustment during the making of the intl ONE it's easier to continue the product run and fix with a ota than it is start all over... US versions have to be picked over before production. So they would of had time to tweak software.
So no it's not naive. Saying there's no way is naive .

Personally I rather one of our smart forum members to give is the 411 on the different binaries within the firmware. As I have said before, the proof is there.

Has not been officially released just yet, but it's floating around out there... Just got released in ARHD 20.0 (20.1 is their current build now).
Been using it bug-free, so far... worth looking into. You can find it in this forum.
No we haven't got the 4.5.3 update yet
The HTC ones in IFA had the 4.3 update
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2436235
4.3 for AT&T is on its way, it is already in testing, has been for about a month now.
Well lets see how they do,I must say,I'm still stock,and have been getting really tempted to go ahead and root.

Like most once I root I can't tame the urge to keep to tinkering with it!I would realllike to eliminate the bloatware though! This is my first sealed battery phone,and in years past I was able to save my own ass by pulling the battery,the HTC inspire i was using didn't always play nice when modifying? But it's still alive today,and for it's time a well made phone with piss poor support from HTC.

or do i have to wait a bit longer?
The updates are rolling out as we speak
Meaning, it's no available to everyone from the get go, but becomes available in "waves".
Each wave pushes the update to more att devices until all have it.

You should try ViperOne rom 4.4 kitkat, best rom out there! For the htc one. For AT&T and T-Mobile, and international! and I think for sprint and Verizon to but I'm not sure.
