If the verizon htc one is launching with 4.2.2 shouldn't the red htc one on sprint launch with it and shouldn't we get an update shortly after?
no

We have no way to know for sure. We don't know for sure if the red One is coming to Sprint. We don't know if Verizon is getting the One. If it is, we don't know when. We don't know if North America is getting the 4.2 update. If it is, we don't know when. We don't know if Verizon is causing this delay. We don't know if the carriers have even received and tested the update yet.
All we know is that nobody in North America has a One that is neither black nor silver, or has received the legit 4.2 update. Also, Verizon is the only major carrier so far to not have the One.
But:
If all the rumors are true, then the Verizon exclusive One will debut at the end of the month running 4.2 on Verizon. Then the red One will debut on Sprint and maybe other carriers. The update will be sent to carriers for testing, and we will receive the update 1.5 to 2 months later. But usually rumors aren't true, so...
In our flyer today about the new bogo for the HTC one that starts on the 16th has the red HTC one in it.. I wonder if that means the red HTC one comes out the same day the bogo starts or at least a confirmation we are getting it. I'll take a picture Monday and post it here

Well, no... Because if the red Sprint HTC One comes out with 4.2.2, there would be no reason why the rest of them wouldn't get it. They all contain the exact same hardware. Just because it's red doesn't change the internals. If the red HTC One ships with 4.2.2 on Sprint, you better believe the rest of Sprint's HTC Ones would have the update before it hits the first customer's doorstep.

I wouldn't take a picture. But I can confirm the Red HTC One and HTC One BOGO both launch Aug 16th.

No picture, please. Wouldn't want you to lose your job.
And where is a BOGO when you need one? Darn!
Another [Q] not in the the Q&A forum.
Why would the red one launch with 4.2.2? If the update has not made it to the carrier and has not been tested by Sprint as people are alleging, there is no reason to believe they would write the system on the device at factory with anything other then 4.1.2

The official 2.3.3 OTA update has been out for a while. Why my IS still haven't got the update notification? When I went to the setting and checked for update, it always says "your phone is up to date". My IS is running 2.2 and unlocked.
I've got the same issue. I wrote an email to HTC Support asking them whether it's a region based problem or something else. I'm using an unlocked Singapore-bought Incredible S, brand: htc_asia_wwe. I'm hoping they reply soon. It's annoying 'cause I live in europe and most of the people over here have the update already. Is there a way to migrate to an european brand?
If your phone is branded, it can take longer before you get the update, because your "brander" (your phone company) needs to make their costum apps ready for the update.
My phone (not branded) is updatet, but my wifes phone (branded) is not.
Kind regards
Jmich
Ok, next question then. How do I de-brand it? My phone is S-On (I checked today). I can't seem to find any other way than XTC Clips. Should I just wait for the OTA update to come to the damn Singapore carrier?
Tried internet pass-through method. It never worked.

You need to create a Gold Card in order to do this with S-On. Search the forum and you will find a lot posts about how to do it.

Please let me know how they respond your email.
One more thing, how do you get the brand "htc_asia_wwe"? My phone is unlocked and I could not find such info in my IS's setting.

htc_asia_wwe is identifying the region the rom is made for. It's not a brand.

regarding your issue,
the andriod 2.3 software has been released for the htc incredible s, for unbranded devices.

The address you linked to has 'UK' in it. The site is regonalised, if you go to your region you will most likely find that entry missing

I am using an unlocked IS with Orange UK, but have not received the update, is that normal? Any one with Orange UK got the update?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Branded IS (orange, rogers etc) will receive updates only when the 'branders' or carriers release the same.
Regarding the issue of the unlocked IS, with the Asia firmware being used in UK, it is possible that the system is recognizing updates for that region.
In all probability, Asia has not received the GB update yet.
So your options are:
1) wait for the release to be complete all across the world. When asia receives the update, so should your phone.
or
2) unbrand the phone, load a WWE rom and you should be able to update.
this, as indicated is available in a lot of posts in this forum
Sorry I did not make myself quite clear, I am using an unbranded and unlocked IS, just put an Orange SIM in it...

I think the red version was going to be exclusive to the Verizon model but since Verizon didn't want to carry it they will not be making it. I could be wrong, but I've heard that from a lot of ppl and it makes sense.!

That is handtec site and that is already old... It was on preorder on february but they changed it into Out of stock when HTC announced that the red one is a mistake.
hello everyone, i am new here and this is going to be my first post.... i live in florida USA and i have a question where i can i buy an unlock HTC ONE and want to know if i buy an international HTC ONE unlock, would it be able to use t-mobile 4g network in the US? or just wi fi?
i really want to have this phone now, i cannot wait any longer to come out in US t-mobile. any suggestion will be appreciate it.
thanks in advance,
Jayr
There are few places that will ship it to US, but none has it in stock. Handtec.co.uk will have first batch April 3rd and Amazon.co.uk will have it April 12th. There is also eXpansys.com but has very bad reviews.
When buying from Europe remember that you will (should) not pay VAT on the device when shipping it to US and you will have 2 years of statutory warranty from the vendor that does not get voided by rooting - this however is sometimes difficult to enforce.
I'm trying to pre-order the One from handtek, but every time I submit the order, it leads me to an empty page with only the text
Code:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function array_merge() in /var/www/html/live/go-psp.co.uk/lib/Zend/Log.php on line 267
Is anyone else getting this with that site?
I shall wait until the second batch of HTC One's have been released to purchase from Handtec just to make sure all the kinks are all ironed out.

I don't believe the HTC One International version is compatible with the US networks. Best bet is to email Handtec and ask them.

Will the international version be sold in USA?
I want to buy it but not from UK due to warranty.

Any news yet for the latest update for Three branded phones?
There wont be yet - but when I had a Three branded One X I remember them being one of the quicker networks getting the updates out but it could still be a couple of months after the unbranded update hits the UK
O2 and Vodafone UK appear to be pushing the updates already. I'm waiting for Orange/T-Mobile UK.
How can there be such a big discrepancy between Three and Vodafone etc. Vodafone ireland released the update today but nothing on Three at all - are they just slow getting these things out?
Wonder if they'll be any quicker than they were releasing the jelly bean update for the HTC One X? Took 3-4 months in total after most other networks. That's why I vowed never to purchase a handset from Three UK again.

Three Ireland told me mid May for update? who knows though they didnt mention a year haha
Totally worth waiting for S-OFF and move over to stock HTC ROM - I cannot see that Three do anything worth while to their version anyway...
i unlocked the bootloader last night! how does S-ON affect the phone? Does it just mean no OTA updates?
Three UK informed me it was in testing. A few more weeks isnt going to hurt anyone. Rather have a bug free update.

The base for the 3 UK update will be the stock HTC update. Any bugs in this update will not be altered by 3.
The only bugs that 3 will need to sort out are the ones that they introduce with there bloatware.
any further news yet??
I missed a call from 3 re the software update. Will ring them back soon.
Ok, it's not far away. 2 weeks max. Apparently 3 sold a lot of HTC One's
As spikeydoo2006 said, 3 UK were one of the slowest carrier to update ota on one X
I would be very surprised if they're any different with One.
If you want the latest update now on 3 branded One then flash a custom Rom.
ARHD is very close to stock in appearance, I have been using on my One for several weeks

It'll adjust over time. The same thing happened to me when I bought my EVO 3D in a Sprint retail store. Took a couple months to adjust.
