Newbie here. Can anyone confirm OTG still works with this update. I am on Sprint in the USA and while it isn't here yet I am close to being out of room and need this feature. Thanks in advance.

That's a JB 4.2 feature, not HTC specific.
It does exist, but you need to use an Easter Egg to enable it (!!??). Go to Settings > About > Software Information > More, and tap repeatedly on "Build number". After a few taps it will start to give you a countdown, and if you keep on tapping you will be told "congratulations, you are now a developer" or words to that effect.
Once you've done that, the Developer options menu will be back.
No, I've really no idea who thought this was a good idea...
Swings and roundabouts. For those of us who don't change that setting, the advantage is that we no longer have that permanent(*) "power saver" notification cluttering the notification area. Guess it really is impossible to please everyone
I thought I read some where it was disabled or did not work. I could be mistaken, or mixing up root which I have no plans for. I read a lot to try to learn this phone better, guess I have to learn to absorb what I read too lol. Thanks
Did HTC leave in the Daydreams feature (dock mode screen savers)?
Is the 'background data restricted' alert gone from notifications yet? Or the keyboard toggle when typing?
Got it yesterday, quick to install. Like the extra information given in the drop down menu, although annoying you have to go through an extra window to switch on the power saver
Swipe down from the notification bar with two fingers at the same time.
Oh yeah! Excellent.
And I can set that as a gesture in Apex or Nova so that I don't even need to reach 2 fingers to the top of the phone (which is a 2-handed operation). Perfect
HTC has been removing the official Android Easter Eggs for a while. No idea why but there it is.
Anyone else get keyVPN app? If so, what is it for? Appeared in app drawer since 4.2.2 update.
I've posted a photo showing a 64GB card otg'ed to the htc one. It works stock.
I've enabled Developer options under 4.2.2.
However, when I touch About > Software Information and repeatedly touch Android version 4.2.2, absolutely nothing happens at all iro the Jelly Bean image or the floating jelly beans.

Swines!!! How dare they!!!. That's not fair!!! ;-)
Thanks for the info, EarlyMon
It's white, next to the battery icon. No colour option I've seen.
@Xaviour yes, it rolled out here at the start of the week for non-branded UK stock. Not certain what other variables it might depend on that might delay in your case.
