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!

yeah, its a beautiful device, i have a otterbox defender (blue & black) and most of the time case is not on, cause i like looking at it lol
Ya know I have an HTC One X and I like the way the white Vivid looks so much, I am looking to switch. Especially since you can get Beats audio on the Vivid now.

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 ...

Do you think it would be possible to buy and replace the back cover for this device. My dog bit my Nexus 7 and there are some bit marks on the back.
Dunno...any scratches on the screen?
Give it some time but I am sure we will see a couple third party backs. Saw one on eBay already but didn't trust the seller.

You can always get a skin to put on it. I saw some cool looking ones on Amazon or eBay and was going to go that route until I opted for the keyboard case.

Nope the scree is fine. Which is suprising cause he was going at it pretty hard.

I saw a back cover for sale on ebay. I'm sure there's going to be plenty more for sale when the unit is actually released. I'm waiting for a nexus 7 tear down. I also want to know if the plastic rim around the tablet can be replaced as well. I kind of dented it and was wondering if it can be purchased.
That's one way to fix the screen seperation issue.
Parts...

Well the title pretty much says it all.. I dropped my old 16gb n7 on a trailer chain at work and borked the screen. I replaced it with a 32gb shortly after xmas and now the other is sitting on my night stand collecting dust, is there any thing I can do with it? As in life after death scenarios, or is my only option keep it or try and find a buyer?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I'd try and fix it and maybe sell I think that you can buy a new or refurbished screen and if you can get it fixed and are not asking to much for it I might be interested GBY
Sent from my Nexus 7
New digitizer costs the same as a used 8 gig one of sell it for parts or keep it incase you need to replace anything else later.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
That's the problem. There going for so cheap now it is not worth fixing. I would just try and sell it for parts or hang on to it in case you need parts later on.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Yeah sell it for parts, the 8gb used fully working go for about 150$
Should have got a 16 not the 8. Like no space left

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone had actually swapped out the One before the 14-day trial period had ended for another phone on Sprint, and weather there was any kind of upcharge. Do you still pay the 2year contract price for another phone? Just wondering. Thanks in advance guys.

Swaps are straight up, if there is a price difference you pay it. I just did this because my LTE broke and I upgraded [not quite] to the LG OG. Then in like 8 days and the One came out and I simply went back to the origin of purchase and exchanged it, it was $50 more, so I covered that.

S4. What other phone is there
Sent from the 'One' powered by ViperROM
I swapped my first HTC One because of the back/home button issue. I tried the Galaxy S4 for a day and returned it. I liked the HTC One better so got another HTC One and now no 4G LTE. As long us your under the 14 days you can return or swap the phone.

That's the price you pay for its greatness. Lol. And I can't wait to get the s4 now, I came from the s3 and just don't like the One. Idk why, just don't.

If its a legitimate issue, there shouldn't be a charge.. I took mine in the day i got it, because of the slightest gap on the top.
We opened another one, it was much worse. We opened a second one, and the top looked good, but the bottom was jacked up. So I'm just living with the slight gap, I'm the only person that would notice it anyways..
But we opened two others, and i ended up just taking back the one i had from the git go. They weren't going to ask for any money, and didnt when we unboxed two others.
The reason you like Samsung is because you had one before. I had a HTC before and I think people become loyal to a brand that they had good experience with before. I loved my EVO until it broke after three years. I had to go with HTC when I saw the One. If HTC didn't have the One I probably would go with Samsung S4.
how stupid am i for trading my htc one for the nexus 4. there was nothing wrong with the htc but as of late i have enjoyed experimenting with different phones.
i just watched this review and it really made me miss my baby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5zKOwrzZUA
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.

Interesting that the reviewer has the sane camera focus problem that is been discussed in three or four threads here...
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.

My previous device was a Nexus 4, the phone is good. Great development, good capabilities. It's not a big loss, keep ya head up.

Anyway you can get it back?

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.
I will trade you a very good condition HTC Inspire 4g for your nexus 4 if you want!
