[OFFICIAL] Are you getting The One? (price/carrier/color discussion)

[Frisco]

I didn't read the manual when I got my phone and couldn't figure out how to add randoms to the blocked list. Surprisingly didn't find anything on the webz saying how to natively do it and I didn't want to install an app so I downloaded the manual and read it. Turns out it's pretty simple.

To add random unknown phone numbers to the block list, go to your call history screen. From here long press the phone number and a menu pops up. Choose block contact. That's it.

If you want to see who all is being blocked, click the menu hamburger on the top right of the screen to get to your blocked list and it's screens.

Hope this helps someone else out as well.

Nice tip, bcrider.

I've been thinking about getting an HTC One, but now I've got my mind made up knowing there are hamburgers on the One menu.

That's those 3 horizontal lines in a stack. I read that term is popular in the iOS community and shows up on a lot of their blogs.

Most places it shows up as 3 dots, in our parlance, that's the overflow button now, was the old menu.

Agree on the tip, that was excellent. Been using Sense 3 years and didn't know that.

I just blocked my wife!

(and then unblocked her lol)

 

[megabiteg]

Valid only on new purchases between 6/14/13

 

[damewolf13]

Well, if you are thinking of buying one anyway, that could sure sweeten the deal, couldn't it?

There is no timer on the One for the camera.

Actually the One does have a self timer.

Can't..... Wait...... Much......longer....... On Verizon. Im giving them until June 30 to divulge info or I'm going with the s4....and I'm sure they won't... I freakin hate Verizon, what is the big f'ing deal, this crap is ridiculous. It's like they are intentionally trying to hurt htc's sales.

I've tried to switch carriers but there are no contenders where I live...

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

Ditto.

Ya...the number block tip is a great tip. I never knew that option was there!

Verizon says they will be releasing their HTC One late summer. Some speculation says next month. Only 3 months behind!

Only reason I'm still with VZW is they have great coverage. But hopefully this will be my next phone.

Edit: rumor mill has it dated for July 18, but STILL nothing official.

 

[Hadron]

Ok, I caved! There's not even rumours about the 64GB in the UK, plus it's my birthday, so...

... I now have a black HTC One in my pocket

Cosmetically at least it's flawless. Will give it a couple of days before rooting, just to be sure

Congratulations big guy! arty:

I was just browsing teh interwebz and stumbled across this, a red HTC One Legit, or not? If ti's legit, this could mean that if/when Verizon finally get's it's butt in gear, it could end up with a red option for sure.

Well, I still don't know if the One in that link was legit, but HTC just announced they ARE releasing a red version of the One. Unfortunately for US customers, it's currently only available in the UK. Will Verizon get a red variant? Only time will tell, but I suspect the answer is yes.

Does that look great or what?!

 

[Wfs0801]

Has Verizon posted an official release date for the HTC One?

I had some money from my birthday, and AT&T had all smart phones 50% off. My new, black, HTC One arrived yesterday

Now I'm researching cases.

 

[miniSQ]

i went to the local Rat Shack again today just to touch it...and dream that maybe one day it will be available on Verizon.

But i was wondering on the way home...if they release this in july then its still pretty fresh, but at some point toward the end of july and into august this phone becomes a bit stale, even to verizon users, who may decide to wait for the 5s to come out...or maybe there is talk of a new droid even.

i think the window is closing on HTC here....verizon could care less...but this is a big rollut for HTC.

i was also thinking that i have spent most of the past 3plus years wating on HTC phones

 

[jova33]

The DNA 2 MIGHT be out this year. That's might capitalized. But chances are it'll come in the 16GB flavor.

If you are referring to the butterfly s, it will have an SD card slot.

The Butterfly whatever that VZW got and rebranded the DNA originally had an SD card slot too. I might be wrong, but don't feel like fact checking.

Exactly this.

So what do you make of the sep 5 placeholder on the evleak photo...

It looks like VZW website image. I think they just made a picture that would look current by launch. So I'm going to say early August, late July launch.
What image is on the S4 on VZW website? Does it have a date?

If you ordered/order and activate your HTC one between 6/14/13 and 7/15/13, you can recieve a $25 Google Play gift card by registering at:
HTC Google Play

HTC will then send you a confirmation code that you can redeem through the Play Store!


Some are reporting that if your One was activated earlier than 6/14/13, you will still receive a $25 credit!

I tried it. We'll see if I get anything. (Bought a new One yesterday!)

 

[androidchrisd]

I tried too. Bought my One in May though so fingers crossed.
