Hey guys,
I bought the phone today, used just for a week 4 $200,
At&t white version, and im loving it, guy included a hard case white snap on cover, green & black hard plastic one, and a blue otterbox defender series!
So any tip or trick or hack let me know!
Cheers!
I thought about getting the white one, good choice. Welcome!

The white version is pretty sharp, I wished I had the white version.
Tip 1
If you're planning on staying with S-On, just know you'll have to do things differently than those with S-Off.
Tip 2
Don't try and do S-Off until you've read how the procedure is done.
I kinda went at everything blind without reading, which caused me a few problems along the way. I was very fortunate to have the good people of this forum come to my rescue, I'm finally enjoying my HTC Vivid. Happy flashing!
yeah...read, read, and READ lol, but i suggest doing s off once youve read a lot about it and are comfortable...its a lot easier then it sounds-i finally got the guts to do it the other day...it was surprisingly easy and i got it first try...
i was so afraid of doing it cause you have to pretty much short out the phone...but i had already disassembled the phone to change the capacitive button colors to green so i figured if i could do that then i could do s-off
How can you get that price? I looked on ebay but only 250$++

Look on Craigslist.
There are several in my area Craigslist going for $175. I was able to trade my Evo Shift straight up for the HTC Vivid to someone from Craigslist, Good Luck!

OK... As much as I love my Vivid is going towards my wife as of today. I somehow ended up in a AT$T store today and used up my friend's upgrade that he didn't need, and now I'm rocking a brand new HTC one X, which I really love so far. I'm a little worried about the battery life, but so far isn't bad at all. As much as I wanted to go for the galaxy s3, just didn't cut it for me... To be honest I mostly fell for the one x's sexyness ...

I've seen sense clocks on many other devices trying to imitate the sense's look. Why not just try a custom launcher, you'll do that anyways on any other device

you can always flash a custom AOSP rom like virtuous inquisition or the wajee one and get rid of sense.
I have virtuous ROM, but I'm going ahead and trading my vivid for the nexus s.

I can't really find a phone worthy to replace my vivid yet. Of course something similar or a little better, yes, bu not that "wow" device. The direction some manufacturers go (no sd card or removable battery, even quad-core with lte) I guess I'll keep it for at least 9-12 more months.

you can always flash a sensless rom. then you might fall in love with the vivid again. once you rip out sense and att apps, the device starts to perform

Thanks, but already tried that! Its pretty close to the Nexus, but I still like the Nexus more I highly reccomend BOTH of these phones!
My upgrade is coming up and I am definitely getting the One. I do not want another Samsung because of the build quality but Idk which color to get. I heard the black one attracts fingerprints but I will most likely have a case on it. I've had black phones my entire life but I am leaning towards the silver. People who own the One, which one looks better?

The black HTC one is not available yet for Sprint so you might not get many responses (since this is a Sprint HTC One forum). You may want to ask your question though in the general HTC One board. For what its worth, I have played with a working version of the silver and a dummy of the black and I am holding out for the black one. The black one is suppose to be available in a few weeks so if you want it now, the silver is your only choice.
Silver because that's the only color HTC would hook me up with.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
My previous phones have also been black, so I got the silver to change it up. If you get the silver I don't think you will regret it. I am definitely not.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
I've never had a silver phone, but coming from the AT&T GS2 skyrocket the bare metal look of the silver really compliments the build quality.
I've always had black phones. But I decided to go for silver. Not regretting it.
I was going to hold out for the black, but I also knew I was going to get the HTC hard case for it. Once I saw one with the case on, I realized you can't tell if the phone is black or silver so I grabbed the silver one.

black phone for me every time.

When I went to the sprint store they had both on display. I played with the black one and it was just to prone to finger prints for my liking. So I'd go with the Silver one.

Alright thanks guys. I wasn't aware of the unavailability of the black One but it looks like a lot of people like the silver one regardless. I'm going to have a case on it either way so the fingerprints on the black wouldn't matter but I've had black the whole time so I'll get silver. How is the One for the people that have it? Any problems with it yet?

Silver looked way better. The black one is so dull and boring. I thought it was a Blackberry10
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
The black isn't bad looking but the one i got to use a few months back like went out of its way to suck all the oil from my hands and lather itself in it. The silver one is shinier so you don't notice the oil nearly as much. Also I'm sure scratches will show up way more prominently on the black version.

nothing i can do now i guess i just hope this phone stays relevant....DONT TRADE YOUR HTC
I am sorry to hear that, mate. There's nothing wrong trying different devices, but I'd never trade up my HTC One. It took me days of research and I realized that the One is the best device for me.

Man thats foolish, on the other hand if it would be the other way around you would have been so glad you traded your nexus 4 for a htc one. i know i would be.
I traded mine for a S4. That lasted 1 week and I traded back for a other One. I've had a lot of different phones to test and none have that feel like my HTC.
The S4 was nice but Touchwiz is not a well coded interface. Camera is over rated on the S4 and was my main reason for trading. It's not that much of an improvement over the Note 2 sensor.

Just got a new HTC One last night after selling my BB Z10 after a couple weeks (the BB really was nice but it has major issues with Contacts management & sync w/Gmail-Google Apps).
Anyway loving this One but I'm keeping my Note 2 because it's a fantastic phone as well; I have a cheap secondary tablet plan on a separate SIM so the Note 2 is now more like a mini-tablet.
While setting up the One today I ran thru all the test for defective sensors etc, and happily everything works. Once I scraped off the excess glue and other rough edges, the thing is now perfect
Not a recommend trade IMO.

The Nexus 4 is a great device, but I hope you got some cash on top of it for your One. To be completely honest, I really love the HTC One, but I missed the Nexus 4 so much that I just bought a white one with a white bumper and a wireless charging orb. You are only dumb to have done this if you didn't get any cash on top bro.

Besides aesthetics, are there any differences between the models?
Im coming from the original epic 4g so this is a super upgrade lol.
Ive seen some of the guides and am kinda confused....i want to root my phone and take stuff like facebook off, but i really dont understand how to go about it with the bootloader.
Never had to worry about that with my epic, so im pretty ignnorant. Do i HAVE to unlock bootloader? And if i do, are there

Woot! I came from the Epic as well. Welcome to the One. In about 2 weeks, if you still have the Epic, pick it up. I guarantee your first thought will be "how did I ever get by with such a small device?" Lol. I've been rooted since it was available and the only drawback to dev unlock is the wiping process.
This thing isn't quite as impossible to brick as the Epic but its close. RUU can save most anything but I wouldn't experiment with trying to brick it
I'd give Sense 5 ROMs a try first and see how you like it. If that's not for you then you've got similar ROMs the Epic had. And CM10.2 is extremely stable over here. We're hoping for a 4.3 Sense 5 leak/OTA soon as well. Otherwise follow the guides and you should be good.
And I don't believe there are differences besides appearance.

I'm a week out from my upgrade, and I was originally in the black camp. I'm definitely getting the blue. Its such a good looking phone.
