I need a bit of advice on what to buy. I'm currently on AT&T contract with my old iPhone 5, but want to buy the One. I have a few options:
1. Craigslist seller #1 ($500)- It's a 32GB Global Unlocked version. However, they said that it will work with AT&T but it will only be HSPA + not LTE. Is this true?? He ahd it on AT&T but couldnt get LTE. I checked the HTC website and the 32GB Global Unlocked version did have one compatible band (700MHz) with AT&T's LTE, so I can't see why it wouldnt work. What do you guys think?
2. Craigslist seller #2 ($500)- She has a 32GB T-Mobile version that she got as a gift at a HTC event. It has never been activated. We tried calling TMO last night to get it unlocked, but they were clueless. I did find that I could get it unlocked for around $25 from a site online. If we do this, will it work on AT&T LTE? Any way to remove the TMO bloatware and crap from it?
3. Buy the phone direct from AT&T outright ($600). It's guaranteed to work with their LTE, but would come with the bloatware. It's more than the craigslist sellers, but at least I'd have the support of AT&T if anything ever went wrong with it (since I bought it from them). However, it's only like $30 less than the 64GB Developer edition
4. Buy direct from HTC (32GB global unlocked or Dev edition). This way guarantees me that I get the fastest updates (is that true for both or only the Dev edition) and no carrier bloatware, but I'd have to wait 2-4 weeks for the phone to arrive, and I'm impatient as hell. I know it's the smartest and best option, but I dont really feel like waiting.
If I can get #1 working on AT&T LTE, I think it's my best option, but I'm not sure if that will work. According to this XDA post, the Global Unlocked version should work with AT&T LTE, but the seller is telling me that it doesnt.
So what do you guys think? What's my best move & option here?

Buy it from AT&T. As you said, the support is worth the extra $$.

Grr, yeah that's what I was thinking. I guess it's the smarter option. Would probably be better to get the Dev edition for $50 more and a few weeks of waiting. I want to make sure I get software updates as fast as possible. I'm still stumped.

Any thoughts on option #1? Seems strange that it would have one of the correct AT&T LTE bands, but not work on AT&T. Maybe a different APN setting? I dunno. That seems like the best option, provided I can get it to work on AT&T.
You're on a development forum.. remember that.
It all comes down to this: are you happy with HSPA+ Speeds? If so, save $100 and get the unlocked version. If you want LTE, get the phone direct from AT&T. You will not get LTE speeds from any One except the AT&T model, this is proven by numerous accounts of people doing reviews on YouTube using the unlocked on AT&T.
Now, if you decide to get the AT&T, first thing to understand is you're on a developement forum.. how many people here (all of which are on AT&T still have their bloatware installed? Almost no one. I have One, and the first thing I did was unlock bootloader, root, flash a stock ROM (TrickDroid) which comes with many benificial features, including NO bloat, and fixes for bugs in HTC stock firmware.
Trust me, you're going to want to unlock, root and flash a custom ROM.
As for updates, the people that will get the updates first, before anyone else, is us. Because we are on a developement forum. People will start cooking up updates before HTC even released anything. And once AT&T or HTC starts rolling out the updates, we, XDAers will definitely know about it. And the ROMS will start getting updates.
So go for the LTE version, and know, you'll be bloat free, speeedy and the first to hear about any updates.

Haha yeah, I purposefully came to a dev forum. You guys know more about this **** than anyone. Since I'm brand new to Android, I dont really know much about rooting, Roms etc. I hope it's easy. I'm reasonably technical, but not a dev or engineer. Can you point me to the beginner's guide to rooting and flashing roms?
Also, I heard conflicting reports about the Dev Unlocked phone direct from HTC working on AT&T LTE, so I dont know what to believe anymore. I guess the AT&T version is the best bet.

Alright here's how it works. Once you get to the AT&T HTC One section, that's the start. From there you see catigories. General is mostly for stories and such, that's why this thread should be in Q and A. Then there's stuff like themes and apps section, and accessories (self explanitory) then the good stuff. Origional Development is developement that has been done SPECIFICALLY for the AT&T variant of the One. The Developement section can be ports of other phones or other variants. So, in the Developement section, we find this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245776
[XMOD] MoDaCo Toolkit (with HTC One specific mods)
That is a guide to unlocking bootloader, rooting and flashing.
Do you have a PC? If so things are a little simpler if you ask me.
Hope that helps, and I'm glad someone made a noob friendly guide because I had to do it all manually before they made it. Haha

Actually, bad idea a bit. You're going to want hardware specific drivers installed and if I remember, parallel and drivers can be weird. I would try to figure out the OS X way about things. It can be hard for even a windows computer to get the drivers installed correctly so good luck with a virtual OS.

Just to consign, if you want it to work on att lte it has to be an att branded One. Also, avoid 2nd hand att devices unless you know the individual personally. If you purchase a device then they call it in lost/ stolen, it will be added to our blocklist and it cannot be used on our network.

The Unlocked regular and Dev editions sold directly by HTC work on AT&T LTE.

She said if you can download the update and apply it from HTC's website that would work, but rooting and using different software would break the warranty.

The rep would not know anything except an update currently in the pipeline, that is, already heading our way. Only someone at Tmo corporate headquarters would know the strategic deployment strategy, and they do not talk. TMO tends to release updates later than other companies.
t-mobile tends to release updates not at all...
a few years ago my smartphone was updated for all carriers except t-mobile. everyone went up an android version while I did not.
who cares how much difference it makes... t-mobile is clearly lazier about updating than other companies and need a push to do so.

Well, for my Amaze 4G, they released the upgrade to ICS after about 5 months. And then very recently they did another upgrade, which would be almost a year later. But that first major update wasn't that late.
The way I look at it, if you're using these forums, you shouldn't have to wait for carrier updates. HTC did announce that an update is in the works.

It may make rooting future devices much more difficult. I wonder what bug crawled up Google's butt.

So do we get the pitchforks out and commence advance on LGs social media, etc? To get them to churn out an official build, of course.
It's a great phone and I bought it knowing they might not be quick on the draw. Didn't consider that 4.4 might make all these ROMs all for naught. Still, I needed a faster phone and this certainly fits the bill!
At same time I did know that short of a GSM Nexus that I couldn't have guarantee of latest Android.
I'm stuck on Verizon until March 2013. I can then slap a GSM Sim in, hopefully. But I paid retail so it's not like I want to buy a new phone anytime soon.
Well. I have myself to blame. Again. But I am off contract in March and this will never happen to me again!
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
I am hopeful that when 4.4 comes out our devs will be able find a way for us to upgrade from 4.2 to a custom rooted 4.4 with out any issues. I do think that even stock unrooted this phone is fantastic it is carrier iq that is killing me. I'm sure att will put it in 4.4 also. Even though it was the carriers idea LG allows it to happen so I blame them also.

LG to my knowledge locks the bootloader on all its devices regardless of carrier.
This is troubling. The reason I chose the G2 was because it was the closest thing to the Nexus 5 on Verizon and had good developer support. Hopefully our fantastic developers will figure out a solution.
From what I understand, unless we upgrade to the official 4.4 LG ROM, there is no chance of this happening. Is that correct ?

That's my take on it. It is built into the 4.4 kernel. I wonder if this had anything to do with Google buying Motorola in August. Lock the phones way down for the carriers.

If there will not be a 4.4 rom within 3 months guess it is a dirty shot for those who bought it and want to buy it like me
Looks like I'll be rolling with Nexus devices from now on. I guess it was bound to happen though, I'm sure OEM's wanted another security layer because of bootloader work a rounds. On the upside though, there will be less threads on device release days asking for root and ROM ETA's!
Sent from my Nexus 7
the funny thing even though android are opensource, the phones and hardware are not. Thats where improvement is. If you create an abstraction layer, where due to propriatary stuff its closed and updateable by vendor. Another layer, the OS can go on top, thusly eliminating hardware dependancy as well as increasing updatability. OS and security issues can then more easily be adressed, without the now unduable vendor involvement needed in integrating the new OS with all the hardware specifics. Given the entropy rate of new phones coming out, its undoable. This last, as wel as commercial reasons is why updates and fixes for security holes dont come fast. As of yet.
Right now we see the true devs juggling various devices as the rate of entropy in new devices is higher then more true devs coming in. Devices not even picket up by community cause there are no devs for it. The breaking point has come.
A new design must be made for this momentum, a new standard

I think people who are already rooted will be ok , they will just need to avoid the official 4.4 until a custom rom is built. The bigger problem will be for new unrooted owners. I would imagine it being tricky to flash a custom kernel without the ability to root. I also agree in time the devs will figure something out.

Yeah, I don't expect this at all, with how bad LG is with updating their phones, plus AT&T pushing an update out on a phone this old. I really hope they do, but I have no hope they will.
Still no news about the update for e970. :/
But the official kitkat port is really smooth and stable. I'm grateful that we have such awesome developers working for our device.

Hi, hope Stock rom 4.4 coming soon
I'm surprised no one has posted this here... but I thought it was interesting!!

Our Lg G2's are compatible per this website as well...
I haven't seen any increase in my area yet (greenville, sc) even though it's listed on verizon's site as one of the initial cities. Anyone else noticed a difference in their dl speed?
I just got off the phone w/ a verizon rep who said that there is nothing we have to do... a software update will be pushed to the phone. I am assuming this won't be the case for those of us who have a custom rooted device so it will be up to our devs!

And please correct me if I'm wrong, but if we have a custom recovery on stock then I'd have to either revert to full stock or wait for a dev?

More than likely just an updated modem...shouldn't take devs very long to make a rec flash version
Odd. The article was written well over a month ago and I'm just seeing/hearing about it now. So it's as if we're already benefiting from it, yet I haven't heard any dev mention anything about it or about including it in their rom. Maybe there is nothing for them to update, no?
This is old news, AWS has been active for months.

Pretty much this. As long as you have at least the 12b modem that is all you need. Its been active in the NYC area for months now.

I believe it was the 24b modem that enabled AWS, but either way it was since this past winter.
anyone seen this in the Tacoma / seattle area?
