Maybe HTC has learned their lesson about leaving flagship devices with old software? Now as long as Verizon stays out of it...

Ha! I wish! With Verizon's record, we probably won't see the update until the next ice age! It does look like a lot of good things are in there though- improved camera drivers and a built in file manager would be great. Oh, and the FM radio and stock internet browser that Verizon removed would be good too. ?

This part is not credible. They installed an LED with orange and green; period. It reminds me of an April Fool's joke many MANY years back when Palm announced a "software color mode" and those not knowing better thought that suddenly their monochrome Palm Pilot's would have color capabilities. The LED colors can't be changed with software. So, I'm a little suspicious of the entire piece because of that one detail.
Besides, if I haven't heard it from @evleaks, I don't believe it's real.
LED
I think the different LED flash notifications would be awesome! I used to have this on my Moto Defy and I love it. I am going to try this ROM out tongiht.

That's my main beef with the iPhone...who wants their phone to look the exact same 5 years from now?? I just find it boring as hell. And WAY too thick.
You know what's funny about Apple though, they fight tooth and nail to get Android off the shelves and say their software is the key point of their pitch but they neglect to mention all of Googles' features they use on a regular basis for one when you search for anything on an apple device it uses Google, can't blame them there right.
Now their saying their new 3d maps are going to beat Googles Maps but G Maps has been in beta for a few years now, they know what works and what doesn't but if Apple wants to give it a go then it should be interesting.
I'll stick with this device, there will always be something wrong somewhere with anything some one has, nothing is perfect otherwise there wouldn't be competitors.

Strange, I still wish that my One S could match my old iPhone call quality and network reception and I wish I woukd not have to use a second phone to use Skype...
I'm away right now and I have to use Skype to make all my calls, I can tell you that sometime I just get enough annoyed that I just change my SIM card...

That's the way it's headed anyway...Google is about to blow the provider model out of the water with their next gen Nexus devices (which should even put your mighty gen1 Nexus to shame), working directly with more manufacturers and selling directly to consumers. And I can't wait...I think they'll be doing all us Android users a big favor, longterm.
Apple really good in steal ideal and make it better than the original one. if you look at notification bar on iphone, it's really nice and i think it does better job than our android notification. I also like their notification badge/alert/ pop up for message/mail/FB... Still i can get popup app from play store but i want some thing that come from the operating system itself... I takes android phone because it's open, not because it better than iphone.
Yeap...open source FTW!!

September if you backed them on kick starter, early 2013 for everyone else. I'm actually a fan of the black and white screen. It's more readable in direct sunlight, unlike a color LCD. To me, it still has to be a watch, which means being able to read and use it easily. I wouldn't want a full color screen because I don't intend for it to replace my phone, but rather to supplement it and add convenience to certain aspects, such as taking a quick glance to see who's calling or checking a text without taking my phone out. Oh yeah, and it takes WAY less battery than a color screen. There's a bunch of other cool features. Can't wait for it!! By the way, if you are looking for a color screen, the same company already has a previous model that you may be interested in..albeit not as versatile as the new model.. http://getinpulse.com

highly doubt it's real since if it's there, HTC should've advertise it so they will get more praise for it.
What about the Samsung s2? That has NFC but not in the software.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Probably not. NFC can't get through the metal back cover. Since it can't, I doubt HTC put any NFC chips in the device.

That's why the top and bottom covers are plastic. NFC could get out, just like wifi and cell does.
Why would they put NFC in the device and not advertise it ? They know what they put into the phone as much as id like it to be real it must be fake
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Be nice if this is true. Not too bothered about it now though as NFC isn't really a big feature here in the UK (yet.....) and can't see it being that popular/"the norm" for at least another year.
It has happened in other phones as well i.e. my last android phone, the Samsung galaxy spica i5700, it had a FM radio chip and also multi-touch, both weren't enabled with stock samsung software and weren't advertised at all or listed in the specs. either, thankfully, one great developer got the multi-touch working superbly.

I have build an NFC Chip into my Computer to test the possibilities of NFC with my One X. So I thought, could it be that the One S also has an NFC Chip but disabled it so that the One X has an benefit against his little brother. Than I tried to port the NFC Drivers from the One X to the S and it works very well, but you can't disable it and there is no Android Beam yet. I try to cook an NFC enabled, RUU based Rom with working Android Beam. Download Link: Is coming soon!

Yup David111jr did have this up a few days ago....but the title of his thread didnt help to entice people to read :silly: When i showed this to a few other people, it was mentioned that it might be the cleaver use of Chrome to Phone. It would be awesome if it turned out to be true, but since people like to play nice tricks like this, we will have to wait and see. As for Leedroid, looking through his thread it looks like he might be busy with home things (after all awesome devs have home lives too ) . Hopefully a dev can either debunk or reproduce it. I will keep my fingers crossed for sure!!
Chrome to phone for sure. I call shenannigans.

Keep hearing end of August so this looks promising. Also no one who's using the beta build mentions a speed increase. We all can assume its going to have a huge speed increase like on the Nexus.

:laugh: Yea, hopefully Samsung can tell Verizon to move it with this. I'll be surprised if a update doesn't come out before to fix any issues or if the JB update will include them. This phone is great but, their are a few issues I hate. One being the music popping.
Wait so if this comes out for the INT varient is it really that hard for developers to just transition it over to our verizon model?
I was hoping they'd add a couple unified widgets to it with the update.
I love this phone (features, screen, battery), and Touchwiz isn't as bad as people make it out to be..... but..... Is it too much to ask that they add a contacts widget (so that I don't have to use a different syncing app) and a social feed widget that go along with the email and calendar widgets? I miss having a unified feel across the board like on sense. It seems that no matter what widgets I download and install from the market, they look horrible next to Samsung's calendar widget which I've grown to like a lot.
That's really my only gripe on an otherwise great phone. Still looking forward to seeing what JB brings.

Ha that sound's about right. But I think that since we have the unlocked bootloader , devs might be able to get it to us before verizon. IDK.

I agree, the direct call was great. I also liked that you can take a screenshot by swiping your hand over the screen. And the little notification that there's a missed notification when picking up (causing a short vibrate). The missed notification one allowed me to turn off the LED all together and use that to let me know there was something on the phone

Is that a normal feature on HTC devices or something? Because I've seen something similar on custom rom's, but never on stock devices (gnex, Droid X, 2012 and 2013 nexus 7's ).
Just looked for it and couldn't find it. How could they remove such an important feature that is a selling point?

Since VZW's version is the only One (capitalization intended!) that's been released in the US so far, maybe it's going to be missing for all local carriers. Android Central seems to think so, but also notes it's coming in a future software update (as others have mentioned):

Things like this are why I tried so hard for so long to stay with T Mobile. Their customer service is second to none, and they don't screw around with the phones. But their data coverage was just awful for me and simply wasn't improving...
Here's to hoping somebody finds a way to root this phone. I don't regret going from my 2013 One to the M8, but I do miss Viper...
