Is HTC just given up with their pogo on the One XL? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

This phones been out for a good 3 months and there has yet to be a SINGLE HTC or non-htc branded accessories that use the pogo pins.... Have they given up on accessories for us? :banghead:

Well actually the endeavour is better because of unlocked bootloader. So maybe they feel that it will get more attention that the evita

The only carrier locking the evita is AT&T

Yeaaaaa, no it's not much better
It is however a much more widespread phone compared to the xl due to LTE being its defining feature

I think that is the point a lot of Americans miss. HTC has no problem with unlocked bootloaders. I have the xl from Rogers and it took about 5 minutes to unlock the bootloader through the official htc root. Don't blame htc for your bootloader being locked. That one is all on at&t.
I would prefer more manufacturers to take Google stance how carriers can have their phone.
Bootloader is unlocked and it's can't be locked to your carrier. Don't like it then don't carry our nexus phones. Once the next nexus phone is released I will be jumping ship and swimming back to nexus land.

Heh, I bought my phone off contract at Canada from At&t just to save $200 lol. It's been a pain but I got it while there was no 2.20, hell there wasn't even any root... I just remember reading about the hex editing to get super Cid and Someone bricking their phone lol.
Well anyways what does this have to do with pogos though....

Been tried in the S off thread, if we had a sd card slot, it would work, not pogo pins. And I wonder at how an accessories thread is somehow going in a completely weird direction lol .

Weird. Thats the newest hardware with the oldest firmware. Either way it doesn't matter as there is a root for everything right now. Good thing you got the latest hardware though.
I'd like to go ahead and confirm my experience here too.
The first four characters of my serial number are "HT24". It's not as recent as the OP's, but I'd like to think it's relatively new.
At any rate, I received a warranty replacement with 1.73.
Moreover, it came with SuperCID 111111 and the "re-locked" identifier. This doesn't particularly perturb me as it saved me a few seconds when unlocking. Yeah, I ended up with someone's leftovers with some newer parts.
Battery life on the replacement is around 5.5 hours of screentime with 30% brightness and LTE enabled. I think refurb is preferable since it's cosmetically pristine and every part has been tested more stringently than a factory original.
It's odd that they aren't being re locked and cid reset. Is refurbishment done by AT&T or the manufacturer typically?

Typically, refurbishments are done by the manufacturer. AT&T just serves as an intermediate in the process that makes sure you have a phone as quick as possible. Once they receive our broken phones, they have the pleasure of doing what we did not want to do - deal with HTC.
If you had to deal with the manufacturer directly, you would be looking at two to three weeks for a replacement device.

HTC refurbs them and AT&T is the distributor for warranty exchanges. You're lucky though... AT&T usually doesn't take devices that were tampered with.

HTC seems to be very understanding. Unless it's bricked or something directly related to unlocking the bootloader I doubt they care. And legally they can't. It's like taking your car in for warranty repair on the engine and they void the warranty because you installed better brake pads.

Device Pic for this forum is wrong

It shows the international one, HTC written on top, AT&T one says AT&T. Unless if i'm a dumbass and the Rogers one says HTC.
I think you'll find most of the devices have HTC at the top - AT&T are just special
I know the Asia & Aus one's do first hand.
The Rogers one has HTC .. dumbass

Which one of you guys knew about this?

AT&T is offering a limited HTC One Developer Edition with unlocked bootloader and it is already available on pre-order. However, even if if you’ve decided to get the regular HTC One from AT&T and want to get its bootloader unlocked, there’s nothing to worry about.
http://blog.gsmarena.com/att-htc-one-bootloader-is-unlockable-via-htcdev/
official launch april 19th.
It's been discussed in the One forums. But apparently AT&T plans to close this door on launch day.
Before you get too excited, though, HTC's affirmed to us that AT&T's One will not be supported by the HTCdev unlock service, which will effectively render its bootloader untouchable.

In addition to the guarantee of being bootloader unlocked (as opposed to this game of maybe/maybe not for the AT&T version), the Dev Edition is also SIM unlocked, and free of AT&T bloat (unbranded version of the ROM) for the same unsubsidized price as the AT&T version (for those that aren't eligible for an upgrade yet).

Here's but one example.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199042
Im probably going to get a T-Mobile version instead of dev edition. In a perfect world I could buy the dev edition 64gbyte version and flash a T-Mobile radio to enable all bands ever... But the dev version isn't even s-off (who does that, honestly)... So I'm opting for the T-Mobile version. LTE eats too much battery IMO.
