I can't. I literally got mine delivered as I was leaving for work. But, I will be home in 5 hours and will post if nobody else has by then.

I my Sprint HTC One today I haven't activated it yet but I noticed that the boot screen is the stock HTC one with no mention of sprint. I'm also missing all Sprint software there is only a mention of Sprint ID in the wallpaper section. I just wanted to know if there's anything wrong with my phone. Anyone have any ideas why this is?
Where did you buy this phone? Is it used/refurb?
I work for Sprint and none of the sprint software shows up until the phone activates. I thought the same thing when I got my phone. Once it goes through the activation everything will appear.

^ This. When I activated my phone, I was excited that it didn't have a bunch of Sprint junk on it, then it said something like "installing Sprint junk" and there it was.

Most of them can be installed through the Play Store (for someone who wants more than none )

Hey guys, I've just recently purchased a HTC One on PayAsyouGo. But I am currently on a Three contract.
I was wondering if it is possible to unlock it to all networks for free or if there is an guide that I can follow to unlock it.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried your contract sim in it?
If you have and it doesn't work then you'll have to contact the original carrier for a sim unlock code
I'd try another SIM first, if it's not already you can buy unlock codes off eBay for about £3

I've already tried, I placed an orange sim, which worked fine, then after I tried a three sim car, which unfortunately asked for a network code.
Can you link me to a code on ebay.
Thanks.

Oh okay. Was there any tax? Sorry for all the questions just want to know all this before paying to unlock sorry. Did the apn settings automatically do itself or you had to set them? And is the signal strength good for you?

No tax for me, but I live in Oregon, and theres no sales tax. so i dont know about that.
Yeah the APN settings changed itself to tmobile's LTE settings. kinda weird but it did.
Signal strength is based on your network, not really your phone, but I get LTE 80-90% of the time from the places that I go to (mostly in cities and urban areas)
Please press thanks if I helped.
Oh okay I'm definitely going to be ordering the unlock code later then. Thank you very much

sell it on ebay for like 500 and buy another note 3. (remember to include that its bad esn or else you'll be charged with fraud)

Also when the kitkat update comes to us will we get it even though we'll be on T-Mobile on a att Note? I'm asking because when I had a att S4 on t mobile before I didn't get a update that was going on thru that time it was a few months ago. I even tried Kies.

if course you wouldnt get over the air update... you need to update it manually...
and if you're too lazy to do it manually, you can always plug in a working ATT simcard for it to update then switch back to your tmoible sim card.
Oh okay. Doing it manually is safe right? And can you please show me proof of the unlocking if that's alright. Thank you

Before paying for unlock code always check with provider phone was from. If phone is over 90 days old t mobile gives you code for free. att will also but your account with them must be in good standing.
I have the Moto X 2014 ATT model, and as far as I know there is no root or boatloader unlock for this device? Is that still true? Just thought I'd ask.

If you are on android 4.4.4 or 5.0 you can use mofo or kingroot to root, then use sunshine to unlock your bootloader. If you are on 5.1, sorry but there is no way currently.

I agree. I've asked around in the community.
There is a way... with Cricket Mobile at least.
UPDATE:
I have been on the phone with cricket wireless for over an hour and I finally got to the top guy. He said that once you own the phone for a six month period call back at the number he provided me and he would give me my code to unlock the bootloader.

After 6 months they give you the code to unlock the sim, not the bootloader. If he said bootloader he was mistaken or he did not understand what you want.

Well, crap. At least I'm on cricket and don't have to wait to upgrade my phone.
I just don't get it. I own this device. I should be able to do whatever the hell I want with it. It seems unethical to keep you from accessing the root of the device. (insert expletive)

That's not true. 7.0 for the N6 us not out yet for ANY carrier. That being said, the preview 5 is available. It runs fine on VZW.

Honestly, if you're waiting for an OTA update, you're doing it wrong. Google has a page where they host not only the ROM images for flashing using Fastboot, but also complete OTA zips for sideloading using the stock recovery.
