HTC Get Started - One (M7) General

HTC just released a utility to allow you to pre-setup several personalization steps before you actually have the phone in your hands.
I can't post an external link (sorry, longtime lurker), but let me spell it out as https :// start . htcsense . com
I was able to select my desired configuration (HTC One Sprint) after selecting my language. Oddly I didn't see AT&T listed, but there was an unbranded HTC One selection that may be usable.
As I recall, you setup bookmarks, email, a few accounts, homescreen, lockscreen, and sounds/ringtones.
You do get a preview of everything you are about to set as well, so if someone is on the fence and just wants to play with the interface this is a way to do so. The entire customization set is stored with an HTC Sense account which you setup at the end or use your Facebook login to save.

I'm gonna try, seems cool

+ infinity the anticipation is killing me. sprint could at least tell us when sales will start or actually let us do pre orders not some stupid email notification.

I don't want to get my hopes up for the 15th incase it gets pushed back another few weeks but i'll be SO gutted if it does get pushed back !!

im trying to keep the faith that they will make it on time. if they focus on us and uk for initial launch i think they will pull it off.

I'm waiting to get a phone as well, but this was certainly a good look at the interface. Glad others were able to make use of the tool.

This is pure class! Makes me wanna get my hands on the phone even more now!
Bravo HTC for this

Already configured my One see my desperation lol

Does anyone in the UK know what the difference is between the HTC One and the HTC One(Orange) option? I am buying the phone from Dialaphone(so it'll) be unlocked and I'll put an Orange sim card in it, not sure if I should choose the Orange option on that basis or not(as the phone won't be locked to Orange).

It's to do with being carrier branded and lock to them. Basically phones sold directly from carrier and not third party.

Just choose the standard One version, i just went through it and picked Orange one and it looked like it was exactly the same as the "open" version, it may be a poll type thing attached to the site so they can monitor which versions people are picking?
Never used this set up when it became available for the One X, can't see me using it for the One either, each to their own though.
It doesn't actually do anything to your phone unless you decide to log in to it when the phone first starts up, and i'm sure you will be able to set your phone up easier when it is in your hand and can do exactly what you want with it and not have to pick from the limited options that HTC give you.

HTC Launch this during the One X+ release.. it was in the jelly bean leaks on the One X before the One X+ was released
Seems like AT&T won't allow this -_-

Here's the direct link for anyone that wants it, maybe it will work if the OP copy paste this one to his first post? I actually did the "getting started" a week and a half ago. Guess I should have made a thread for it, eh?

I just paid for my new HTC Touch HD I got on eBay

I just paid for my new HTC Touch HD I got on eBay last night and it should be shipped out from down under pretty soon. So, I guess that means HTC can now announce all of their cool next generation phones. At least that's how it usually works when I buy something high tech. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting it and going through the process of installing all the software onto it.
congrats mate!!!
im sure ul enjoy it , i do mine
the only thing i feel im missing out on is the app store for the iphone
but that said i still wouldnt swap mine if the chance arose
also give spb mobile shell 3 a look for something a bit different
congratulations! don't worry since you can have fun with the HD for months before anything new comes out, is tested well, and stable!
there has already been a few new phones announced from htc like 1-2months ago, think there's alredy 1 maybe 2 of them already out or due out shortly.
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/o2-htc-touch-diamond2.html
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/htc-touch-pro2.html
there's a topic on here somewhere thats lists the ones that where announced, too late now for me to go digging for it.
hellow, i need your help mates
Where can i buy HD for about 450-500 usd, and where the visa virtuon card is accepted, and is guaranteed that they will ship the pda to me in europe?
I would say eBay as well and then someone who accepts PayPal. Maybe this could also help (sry for bad google translation) you.

Hi materijalmen,
Seeing your flag, I suggest to try:

You can also do a direct bank transfer with these guys, and they gave me good service in the past. I know it's a bit more than you mentioned, but that's the going rate, unless you want to try marktplaats?

Yes. I've flashed Dutty's rom on it and I've downloaded some other programs I plan to add. I'm learning things as I go but so far I like everything except:
1 The screen goes black during a call. How do I get the screen back up? What if I have to "press one for English"? There's no keypad.
2 Whle trying to delete calls from teh call history I've accidently called people a few times.
3 While trying to install the ROM, which took about an hour, my wife was trying to call me to pick her up fom the metrorail station. She had to wait an hour since I don't have any other phone. Boy was she pissed.

Got my 2nd replacement slide today & still problems!

So today I got my 2nd slide in the mail...My slide is having keyboard/wiggle problems so I called an they sent me another one which when I recieved that one it had the exact same problem but much worse, so I called um an they sent me another one again which I just got and guess what this one has same problem, although not as bad (yet), AND it has horrible lights leaks coming thru the screen AND light coming thru the front cover! WTF.
Should I call an get another one sent an try yet again to get a good one OR should I tell um i want something else an if so will they send me something diff or am I only gonna be able to replace it with the same phone?
I like this phone very much but damn if I cant one that looks and works right I may have to sell it on Craigslist an find something else. Im not picky I just want my moneys worth from a phone that cost me $300 an that when I got worked great. Feel me?
What would yall do?
Sent from R¤¤T£d MyTouch Slide™
i would try to get a different phone, as been reading around here i saw couple threads say the camera has degrading issue too
I'd ask for a Vibrant. That's just me though... After that many replacements they have to understand that giving you a different phone is in their best interests, ya know. I haven't experienced any problems with my Slide but I am expecting to run into some... I may go ahead and try to sell mine now before it screws up, and get myself a Vibrant (though, I've heard that has been having its share of issues as well). Either that or wait to see what phones are coming out for the big fall release (the rumored Vision seeming likely). But yeah I'd say ask for something else.

Rumers.....
Im gonna call them today an see what they say. They will prob want to just send me another slide but i may just tell not to. My sister got the new Vibrant so I played with that yesterday and decided that, although its a very nice phone, its not what I want at all. Ive got an Ipone now that I sometimes use and that Vibrant is pretty similar and im tired of that kind of phone. Which is another reason I really want this MyTouch to be a good phone. Ill let yall know what they say. Thanks for your thoughts.
Let me know what they say about giving you a different phone. I'm on my 3rd slide and I'm think I just want the galaxy untill something better comes out in a couple months.

Ok so I called um and this time they told me to go to a store an show them what im talking about an see if they can replace or fix it there. Well I know they cant fix it cause it isnt something like that an I doubt they give me a brand new one when Im there SO I bet ill be calling um back tomorrow after I leave the tmoile store so they can send me another one. Hope fully the next one wont be messed up. Well see...
Did you ask about getting a different replacement phone besides the slide??
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Didnt really have a chance to ask um that cause the guy was persistant on me taking it to a tmobile store. Im thinking bout calling them back an seeing what another rep says I should do cause the tmobile store by me is in the mall an I hate the mall. Plus he said he didnt think they could give me a brand new one I would have to get a refurbished one, which is another reason I think I should just call um again im pretty sure they only have new ones at the store, although I could be wrong.

Good luck. I'm on my third Slide for various connection and MMS/SMS problems. This phone is just a piece of ****. So far, the only thing they have wanted to replace it with is a Blackberry Bold. Not quite going to cut it.
Well I decided to go ahead and keep the replacement phone they sent me that has the small light leaks. My bf said he cant barely see what im talking about. Plus ive already rooted, flashed and installed a custom rom on this new one an its running good. Guess I can learn to look past the light leaks. Ill prob end up selling this one on Craigslist soon as Tmobile comes out with something better later this year.

Wow so sorry about the late reply, I have actually just rooted my phone and it was surprisingly painless. It took me less than 10 minutes and I was done. I am actually still running the stock ROM and I haven't really seen any ROM that makes me want to change that. What ROM(s), if any, caught your attention?

HTC Trophy 7 forum?

I saw that there are forums added for some WP7 devices. I was wondering why there's no forum created for the HTC Trophy 7. (I get one this thursday and I really need some roms etc .. no, the official reason for asking is, I believe the Trophy 7 is one of the only devices HTC is going to launch in Europe, so I think a forum would be very appreciated.
I was about to ask about this.
I get mine Trophy 7 deliverd tomorrow, but it's vodafone branded.
It should work with my KPN sim, at least thats what the shop said, but I want to get rid of the vodafone branding in the software.
There also wont be any logo's on the phone itself, just the software.
I'm sure i can flash an official HTC rom on it.... but i'll need some help.
I do have some experience with flashing. been flashing my Touch Pro since the first month i got it (been 2 years already )
so please make an Trophy 7 related section for us guys from Holland
HTC 7 Trophy
Hello all togeteher,
I was going to ask exactly the same question. I think there are already a few people who would like to see a Forum which can be used for discussions etc. about the HTC 7 Trophy.
I too would also like to see this trophy section created. This and the HD7 (I believe) are the only wp7 devices available from htc that are unlocked so these should get the most attention imho.
Trophy forum coming soon! Today we added a couple more WP7 forums.
today i was the proud receiver of a HTC Trophy
Been playin with it for a couple of hours now, but it incredibly smooth.
I'm happy with it

Did you receive the Vodafone's branding device? Is there any logo on the device? How about the software? Is it about a vodafone theme that you can change or something permanent?

your making me super excited!!!! i get mine on monday!!! monday morning, few hours from now. feel like a little kid before Christmas, havent had this feeling for a long time.
hopefully htc and MS fixed this whole xbox xtras app that crashes on htc phone tommorrow. wanna shake my phone and make my avatar fall down....ooooh its raining hailstones!!
sorry for the late reply..
it's indeed the vodafone branded one.
The guy from the shop called me about it. and i asked the guy if there was any branding on the phone itself and he confirmed that there is no branding on the phone.
So when i received it, i was quite anxious about it, but there is only a bootscreen with the vodafone logo, a tile with vodafone (wich i deleted right away) a vodafone app (also deleted) and the manual setup of my APN settings (just had to fill in portalmmm.nl for my Hi account ) and thats it.
Ow and the tiles where red, but adjustable to your prefered setting (mine is blue right now)
@levi3man: xbox live and avatar are working fine, but i replaces my regular live account with an WP7 exclusive one because my contacts from my regular acount is a mess, and there are some people in there my girlfriend wouldn't be to happy about .
So i made an new account with no avatar at the moment.
g'day there.
just wondering if you can tell me if you can swap out the microsd card in the Trophy? this has been rumoured on a few sites.
cheers,
milka
I got mine from vodafone NZ and it has absolutely no branding at all, not even the common vodafone start up screen. Perhaps they didn't have enough time to flash it given NZ was the first place in the world to release a wp7 device?
Hey guys just wondering if someone could let use know what the screen is like under direct sunlight? Although it is not that important I would still like to know what I am getting myself into.
I currently have a desire and it's quite poor in direct sunlight - just for reference.

It's usable under direct sunlight, a lot better than my nexus ones amoled display. Perhaps comparable to my old 3gs and maybe a bit less than samsung's super amoled displays.
The SD-card is not in a separate slot below the battery or something so you can't remove it.
I haven't had any issues under sun-light, it's readable and clear enough.
the only thing that bugs me now is that the notes app does't work after the HTC update... Not that i'm using it but still
still playing with the phone, and as i go along, i'm discovering new features.
With windows phone 7 attached to your winlows live profile, you can do some neat things, at least i think their neat
You can map your phone, and it shows on a map the location of the phone, and in my case it was spot on.
You can ring your phone, wich lets your phone ring, so you can find it if you lost it in your room.
You can lock your phone, where the app asks for an 4 digit code to unlock the phone, and an optional message. With this app you can lock your phone from a distance and on wake (power button press) the phone shows an message that the phone is locked or your optional message. and after an reboot the phone still stays in locked state. The only way to unlock it is to enter the 4 digit code. It's still possible to make emergency calls with it.
And the final thing you can do is erase your phone, revert it to factory settings i guess, because i didn't test this part

It doesn't feel plastic at all. The glossy finish gives it a sort of "industrial design" look. Also, the coating on the back gives it a very sturdy grip.
All in all I like the minimalistic design of this phone. It's one of the best designs I've ever seen from HTC. But of course that's a matter of taste.
No scratching of the lens/flash. The lens/flash/speaker compartment is a bit raised, so when it is laying on the table it doesn't lay completely flat. The angle is just enough to prevent scratching.
bootup logo
I've got my Trophy with a boot up logo from Vodafone. Is there any way to get rid of that bootup screen?
Thanx in advance

That feature was one of the key selling points of buying the phone, i rang and questioned HTC about this very matter months ago.
I said what they are doing is false advertising if they cannot supply a service they are advertising, i was also pissed about the fact you pay £550 for a phone and dont get supplied the wireless DNLA link they shown in the almost 9 minute ad on their site.
UK that kind of stuff goes in the consumers favour they will and should act upon it!

That looks pretty amazing. It'll work if you're fast enough and the mugger isn't wise enough to factory reset the phone.
How about HTCsense.com? If you factory reset your phone will the ability to track it be gone too? I'd expect it to track it through IMEI or something so it couldn't be disabled so easily. And will it turn on GPS and data on automatically? What if the mugger changes the sim card? What if the battery runs out?
--
To OP, good luck getting your phone back! Be sure to try everything here, including the complaint to HTC!
HTC will not replace your phone. It isn't their responsibility that your phone was stolen; that is called insurance.
The best you can do is complain, and possibly get compensation. But even then, that'd be unlikely; it'd probably still be replaced by insurance in most cases.

I did floor him with a few good shots to his face and head, but there were two of them so I didn't really stand much of a chance.
htcsense.com is currently down so can't do that at the moment. The PlanB app sounds good but with me now using my HTC Hero, I'm guessing it'll install to this phone. Really wish I was insured now! Lol!

Nope, you can choose which phone to send it to before it installs.
Stupid htcsense.com
Remember, when you log into HTC sense in your phone for the first time...you must enter your phone number, once HTC has that they can get all the other info. Such as IME and track the phone.
Sobs factory reset will not work. The phone is logged and saved into an HTC sense directory

Its true its not their responsibility that the phone was stolen but it is their fault you cant trace it!...
Thats true that it is their fault that the phone cannot be traced but being HTC they have probably already got around that problem. If somebody emails them or calls them and says that, they will just point them to the terms and conditions of HTC Sense where it will say something like "HTC reserves the right to cancel services at any time for an unspecifies period" or something like that. Damn law.
Too bad there isn't any secret tracker service implemented in the bootloader so the thief can't remove it.
If you have insurance then get yourself a brand new DHD, if you don't then it's a learning curve to make sure you do in the future.
As for GPS / wireless locating services, theyre very temperamental and work when they feel like, if you have your phone in a field and HTC tracking decides to work then i have no doubt that it will locate it straight away (providing it gets a gps / wireless lock)

I got The HTC One and contacted EE to cancel the contract and take the phone back as I changed my mind.
With the phonebeside me in its box, I've just had to have a play with it and now I'm gutted to be sending it back.
It's absolutely stunning, I've never seen or held such a wonderful device.
I'm wondering now as I've been sent a returns bag etc, charge it up and hope EE will let me keep it or send it back and get another one.
So... why are you sending it back?
Um yeah.... Some more details perhaps?

I got the phone but then decided my iPhone 5 would do and i'd send it back. So I cancelled the contract and they've sent me a returns bag.
Inquisitive a while ago, I just decided tol have a play around with it and now wish I hadn't cancelled.
Was wondering if I contacted them could I uncancel or simply send it back and start again.
and your point is?

Your choosing an iPhone over this superb phone, that in itself is ludicrous sorry to be so blunt but seriously cannot see the sense in that.

Keep it otherwise whenever you see someone with a One you'll wish you kept your One.

iPhone is something else. You can't compare these two. No need of pointless hate against it.

Just phone EE again say you changed your mind, you decided to stay with them, they would be more than happy to let you stay. I don't see why there would be any problem. Very likely they would let you keep the phone then just start a new contract, cos technically only until you returned the phone your contract is fully stopped, they may be able to reverse it at this stage.

Oh buddy thanks for the good laugh. I do understand. That would be hard but after you play with this amazing phone how could you send it back. Send them the iPhone 5 maybe they wont notice :highfive:

Thanks a lot for your help, I'll give them a bell. Think i'll put it on charge. :
Haha, this is hilarious. Go on to xda to ask whether you can change your mind about cancelling a contract (or not) with EE?
Call me old fashioned, but I would be asking EE, not XDA. Maybe that's just too much common sense.

You bet your life you can't compare the two, the HTC One is far far better.

So the OP starts a new thread saying he is staying with his iPhone 5.
What exactly is the point of this thread, other than the OP simply trolling HTC forums?

No he started a thread saying he ordered the ONE and then before getting it he changed his mind thinking he would be ok with the iphone 5 so he calls in and has them cancel the new contract and send him a return kit. He then gets the ONE and being a phone junkie like all of us on XDA he HAS to play with and realizes that he loves the ONE and does not want to use his iphone 5 anymore but as he said he already called in to cancel so what does he do??? Which has been answered so next time you wish to bash someone or talk crap maybe sharpen up on your reading comprehension skills.
Don't really think OP is trying to be a troll or anything.. i think he/she is just confused and didn't know how awesome of a phone it was till he/she used it..
Which is what you suppose to do with any new phone, you read up on it, find features you like, buy it, get used to it.. decided should you keep it..
Not order a phone, decide to return it.. then want to use it and realize its a great phone

I agree but I am also a phone nut and have done crazier things in my time. He got caught up in the hype then doubted the hype (who can blame him) and then realized the hype was real. Sounds a little like all of us :silly:

That sums up half of the post here about a new phone :good:
Before that ends in flamewars out of misunderstandings, I close this now. All is discussed I think.
