Kit kat and always on w/google now - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after doing some reading I don't seem to be able to find the answer. I've read that there will be "hardware limitations" on some devices but not seen anything on the HTC one. This is the one feature I really look forward too. Any ideas? Or facts? Should I upgrade or stay with what I have?

IIRC, Snap800 is required for always on.

An awesome review by AnanTech

This article goes into great detail.
It even breaks down the sensor technology as well as comparisons between the iPhone 5 and Nokia Lumia 920.
Enjoy!

It goes into such great details.
I wonder if HTC could do something about the night mode. Since it captures better photos in night mode than the phone adapting to the darkness. Maybe do something were the sensor notices it's dark and reviews the time on the phone to automatically go into night mode.
Jeez never read a review that was so in depth

Makes me want the darn thing even more.
I'm excited to see HTC turn around. I've stuck by them through it all since the OG Evo days! I can't wait to see the One and experience the next generation of HTC.
amazing
that's good:silly::silly::silly:
In fact, I do really like the iphone-similar appearance on HTC One.
It's iPhone like only in that it's metal and square... It's distinctively HTC in design though. It's way more EVO than than iPhone. I'm pretty proud that they made all of the choices for the right reasons. Now my biggest concerns are s off at some point and getting more than 1 OS upgrade out of them.

I'd like to add with my experience with this phone that multi-tasking has GREATLY IMPROVED! I'm able to return back to a lot of my previous apps in the exact same way I left them, instead of them restarting.

Thank goodness. The way that was on the EVO LTE pushed me to the s3

Were there recommended camera settings posted in the mega picture thread? I believe I saw a post that stated people were getting best results using a certain combo of settings. I know settings depend on circumstances but it would be nice to know what the 'bar' was.

HTC One Roms on carrier HTC Ones

Hey guys - quick question, and sorry if this has been answered before. I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer under FAQ or recent threads. I apologize in advance for any duplicativeness. Here it goes:
I ended up getting my One directly through T-Mobile, so it's not the HTC developer edition or unlocked model. Once I unlock/root my "TMo" HTC One, will the ROMs under the "HTC One" dev forums work, or do I have to stick to the ones posted on the "T-Mobile HTC One" dev threads? Thanks in advance.
They will work on your T mobile HTC One.

Do I need to do anything after flashing ROMs from this forum to "adjust " them to tmo radios or anything?

Hate to shamelessly bump, but can anyone confirm this?
No, tmobile varients are supported on nearly any Rom out atm

Have you seen those custom desktops, Like Stardock or Fences, that have widgets and functions you can't get in regular windows? This is far from 100% accurate but think of the rom as the skin over windows. Those never really effect your drivers(the radio) since they just tweak your GUI so as long as they can run on your hardware you'll never have to worry about them effecting your printer.
Does that make sense or is my brain fried from my self directed 36 hour crash course on this forum?

Makes enough sense. I've only ever rooted/unlocked/flashed ROMs on Nexus devices, so I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I dive in here. Thanks!

IDK about ARHD, but triuckdroid will ask you AT&T/INTL/T-MO before you flash, so everything works correctly. I believe all HTC Ones in the US(So Far) are the same as the INTL..... there's a thread about it somewhere.... But just make sure you have the right APN settings. P.S New radios are usually a good thing if you have bad signal all the time (WiFi/Cellular).
Has this been confirmed by anyone else?

Might buy this. Opinions on it?

Your guys thoughts on it? What should I expect, and how easy is it to unlock? I have past experience in unlocking and flashing stuff, as I'm coming from the Xperia Play.
EDIT - Didn't think of this when posting it, but how about some unlocked ROMs too. Preferably running at the latest Android version and is nice and fast but good battery life.
Its a nexus. Very easy to unlock, root, and install loads of custom roms and kernels.
However its rumored that there might be a new model announced soon. Something is happening June 10th. I'd advise to wait till then at least.
Otherwise the current N7 is awesome.

I was also coming from the Xperia PLAY when i bought this tablet, i think about 2 months ago.
It was agood choice!
You get always the latest updates and there are a lot of great mods on the forum!
If you're coming from the Xperia Play than it's almost similar. With the Nexus 7 you can go into fastboot without your Windows/Mac/Linux. Just press the power button and the volume down button and you're into fastboot. The best tool to unlock/root/recovery is Wug's Nexus toolkit. And i've you're searchin' for an awesome experience then go for Paranoid Android and Franco.Kernel!
Yea man, it's a nexus, all new android content will either originate here or immediately be ported to us. It's incredible for the price. I might be jaded though, seeing as I'm coming from a Motorola DROID X2 as my only android device.
Thanks for the opinion guys! As soon as I get another $60, I'm gonna be buying this bad boy. Also, I was in the OG Android Dev section, and I noticed a nice ROM called XenonHD. It looked pretty nice. How's that compared to PAC? And on my X-Play I have SlimBean, and I did notice there was a SlimBean ROM for the N7.

Disagree. One should enjoy his device and never care about something that does not yet exist.

There is some virtue in patience when it comes to technology, but the game changes so fast in 6 months there'll be a new thing that's better anyway so why worry? Also, I don't put stock in rumors. A new Nexus 7 might come before the end of the year, I think but maybe it'll be a 2 year stay like the Xoom was. I'm considering this current Nexus 7 to replace my aging A500. It looks super smooth even on 4.2.2 so I think I'd be happy with it.
Bought it, comes in tomorrow Can't wait to play with it. Also, where should I go about getting the drivers? I downloaded Wugs tool, isn't there an option to download drivers from that?

You won't regret buying it! I think you can get the drivers from Wugs but be very very careful using kits to unlock and root. Read the directions at least 3 times before doing anything. I've seen many posts about problems after using rooting kits. If you look it up its actually easier using adb to unlock and root.

Wug's toolkit is the best. You won't be needing anything else, really. Just read the instructions carefully.

New One Owner - Few Questions

I owned the original Evo and loved it, I switched to the 4s and liked it pretty well and today I picked up the One. I have a couple very brief/easy questions.
1). By rooting, will I be able to obtain free hotspot functionality like I did on the Evo? This is pretty important to me as I actually use my iPad 4 for work and rely on the hotspot feature.
2) if so, will the hotspot feature allow me to share LTE or only 3G?
3) Finally,would you all be so kind as to direct me to the most fool proof rooting guide for the One?
Thank you for taking the time to help. It feels great being back on Android, though I do feel my iPad is superior to my android tablet, I always preferred Android for my phone.
1. Yes
2. Not sure I don't use a hotspot
3. Click the DIY root guide link in my Sig for the HTC One
Thanks a ton Bigdaddy.
I'm going to run it stock for a week then I plan on rooting.
Anyone know about my question regarding LTE hotspot?

According to this post it works. I would try it myself but I don't have LTE in my area.
btw the settings are here.

US cellular Phones that are Xposed ready?

so I have had a galaxy s6 for a long while as well as a galaxy4 tab tonight I attempted to go through and root and install exposed on either and had nothing but issues it seems like us cellular models in specific do not get much support. Im hoping someone else uses US cellular as their carrier and could point me to a phone they offer that has less franchise modifications and they use both twrp and xposed framework/modules with.
any help is appreciated thanx in advance
