I doubt 4.2.2 will be the only update we get but probably the only one we get officially for a while.
Thank you custom ROMs.

4.3 isn't even that big of an update "supposedly". Its not a visual change from what we've seen in the leaks. So I don't know why going from 4.2.2 to 4.3 would be a hassle for HTC to do.

There aren't many changes in 4.3; more minor and back end changes. You'll have some additional support like updating the Bluetooth stack (AVRCP 1.3 finally) and some notification changes as well.

With that said, the HTC bunch on the XDA forums on flagship phones seem to be a crowd that whines and complains quite a bit. It was the same way when I owned my HOX.
Be happy with what you have. At least you have the funds to either spend 650 USD on a phone or have enough money to pay for a cellphone contract. I live in a poor area and I can see what true poverty is. I'm quite happy with the device at large. Reading the butt-hurt pains of the people on this forum is the best form of stand-up comedy in Southeast Asia.
Keep me laughing.
4.3 will be a quick update for Sense and GPE as theres not much change, KLP or whatever comes out this fall however is a different story..

Is HTC so bad with the updates. It's my first HTC phone .being a flagship it deserves a major update of klp.hopefully klp comes much before the next year flagship otherwise jellybean will be the last dessert of the ONE
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Could you point me to the page in the warranty that states we're entitled to x number of Sense updates?
Thought so.
It has nothing to do with getting the most out of the device (as does anyone); your analogy holds no water because these are phones not assaults (sensationalism); my thought was more along the lines of HTC customers being very vocal in how much they despise the upgrade process / support...but still buy HTC anyway.
If you're on XDA you knew what you were getting into anyway....so just complain about things you can control, not things you can't.
4.3 + Sence??

Yes but when HTC launched it they promised to support it for at least 18 months, so I bought with that promise in mind...
You would think manufacturers would be better with updates. I suppose that its an issue that only bothers very few users though. Would be interesting to see if a manufacturer would gain market share simply by providing very fast updates.

People seem to forget that the One S was marketed as the mid-range phone between the One V and the One X. If you buy a mid-range phone and expect more than one major update (in this case, it was ICS to JB), then you're out of your mind. If you want more than one major update, buy the flagship, not the mid-range.

The mali400-MP has far more power than adreno220...adreno220 is no weakling though, its very impressive. I'd put the adreno220 in league with sgx540, but its no multicore GPU. As for CPU its good, but is still cortex-a8 with some a9 features bolted on, it doesn't have the improved neon, etc. That comes with a9. It won't be a bad phone, just not good enough for me =]

Samsung never locked bootloaders so there is no need of confusion.
HTC announced moving forward they will have unlocked bootloaders.
Sensation is set to release on June 7th and by now is already being delivered to retailers. It's not enough time to pull the stock, unlock bootloaders and send it to the stores.
So, we are at HTC's mercy whether they will roll out an update to unlock the locked sensation bootloader.

I meant with the update thing. HTC releases updates. Samsung...... well yeah.
TBH, I think the only phone currently that can actually compete with the SGS II is the Samsung Hercules. I know it sounds redundant but HTC got itself disqualified when it decided to release a phone with only 768mb of RAM and 1gb onboard storage (yeah, I completely got spoiled by my Vibrant).

And is there any htc phone running gingerbread?

Also in regards to samsung they have also updated the original sgs international with gingerbread too. Just my 2 cents

Well, with HTC, I'm sure your phone will get a GB update if the hardware supports it.
But, as bad as they are, Motorola updates all of their new phones. Even the DroidX is getting GB. If only they had unlocked bootloaders, I would buy their phones.

Engadget seems to agree with me about the display.
Plus the specs in GSII are still sexier.
Do you really want to wait another year or more for AOSP though? I'm sure the SGS2 will be riddled with more of Samsung's awful coding...
Super amoled plus and 16g internal or 1g internal and lcd not even to mention hardware differences im pretty sure it's sgsii ftw

I'm with you on that. HTC made the first device is truly enjoyed owning... At the same time if the moto comes with an unlocked bootloader then I may consider it... The new Motorola devices are pretty nice... mainly the razr line

My last 3 phones have been HTC. A winmo 6 that I don't even remember the model #, a G1, and my shift. If HTC comes out with a full QWERTY slider I may still not be completely sold on it. I've come to the realization that either company's new phones will be powerhouses. My next phone must have a full slider, and give me a first impression of durability! And constructed so that otterbox can design a damned cover that will last more than a month! I'm with my shift until February anyway, so I'm giving both companies the needed time to appease me. Lol.
Is it just me or is Motorola's US site all dicked up?

Also, it saves you money to keep it and nobody has canceled anything yet. We have an official statement saying Q3 for the Atrix's ICS update. We then have lots of speculation based on many things regarding it. So let's at least try to stick with Motorola here until they've actually not delivered on their promise.
I'm hoping there will be a new Nexus phone around the end of this year when I am finally able to upgrade. Otherwise, SGS3.

Exactly right. I've never understood this "ZOMG, no updates, must change phone now!!1!11!! eleventy !!1!11!!" logic from supposedly intelligent people. If your phone is very old, sure, I can see upgrading, but a phone that's not even two years old and has what's currently the most prolific version of Android available (Gingerbread)? A phone that, in many ways, still kicks the crap out of most (not all, but most) phones currently in the market? All because it doesn't have a version of Android that, based on what I've seen, has more than a few significant issues on many devices, issues that have been largely resolved with Jellybean (shades of every-other-Windows-release-is-crap syndrome!)? Unbelievable.
I have a better question: what will there be left to talk/worry about once Moto hits us with ICS? JB?

I hate to be the one to say this, but you know when you go back to the root Atrix 4G section, there's a button on the right hand side that says "Search this forum", and if you select "Show posts" and type in "ZTE" and then press "Enter", you'll get around 4 pages of discussion on this topic?
As for which phone to get, a Nexus, I guess. At least if they make one with an SLCD and external storage/32GB internal... I don't really like the lower life-expectancy of AMOLED screens, and I need at least 25GB of data storage space.

yea can't be mad with a 1 week turn around time on AOSP. I wonder what other changes they will do in the sense 4.3 update other than the 4.3 changes.

I'm not making excuses for them... But it is way easier to update the vanilla android experience than it is to do the same for sense. They have to build and test sense on top of these updates. They still haven't updated all the unbranded unlocked devices or developer editions running sense.
Add carrier testing on top of that...

It's not ready, besides before it can be sent out to carrier branded models the carrier adds their bloat and approves the update. Ultimately making those who have carrier models wait longer
The Developer Edition obviously isn't branded so once it's ready the update will be released

Ultimately I think its good because it will get 4.3 dev ed out soon for the developers to use as a base for roms...
Won't help those of us that have Sprint devices as we'll have to wait for a Sprint version to come out but maybe the Verizon 4.2.2 can be used...

HTC's US President also says that they want EVERY US model running 4.3 by September. Good news.

Yey. ARHD Sense will definitely be running 4.3. Or maybe we can flash the RUU too. They still haven't given a RUU for 2.24 and I'm stuck with custom ROMS. ; -;

I always hear people say this. What does the carrier have to do with it? They don't change anything on the ROM except maybe some connection settings. All they have to do is make sure the new radio firmware still works on their network and approve it.
Or maybe things are done differently in the states. Here in Canada all HTC One's are like the Dev edition. I have never experienced this "carrier bloat"

Yeah US carriers do more extensive testing and stuff with these. I used to do device and update testing at a carrier and because US networks are crap and a hodgepodge of standards and what works in LA without many changes doesn't work as easily in NY without some network adjustments.
Then there is the carrier bloat issue that they want all their garbage on them and then that too has to be tested, etc...
No excuses as they take too long and load too much on devices, just explaining why it takes so long...

So do you think USA will get 4.3 before Europe and Asia? If so would devs change their base or wait?

They perform quality control and testing. It's a VERY long and tedious engineering process trust me.
So not only does it run through HTC but also the carriers right after.

I definitely believe that areas outside the US will get it first. The only thing I want from AT&T is the firmware. All the software is virtually the same minus the fact our carriers overload it with bloat.
Glad I went S-Off on my Developer Edition and flashed the 3.06 already.
To all those saying "testing" is the reason 4.2.2 is delayed... why is it available for branded phones then? I don't understand why bloated versions have 4.2.2 already while the Developer Edition doesnt? They are essentially the same phone. If "testing" is the reason, why flashing 3.06 to my Developer Edition hasn't given me any problems?

Exactly... base Android 4.2.2 was a fix to a bad release. Its fairly common that although 4.2 brought some of the coolest new features it was buggy as hell and had some deeply ingrained issues. 4.2.1 & 4.2.2 were both bug fixes , with neither fixing the root issues.
I prefer they move to 4.3. For being a new release it is very very solid and a worthy stable release to launch KLP from. Similar to the 2.3.5-7 to 4.0 jump.

Yes. Here in the states these carriers are crazy. Especially Verizon. They're the top US carrier. They add like useless apps to your phone.
The issue is carriers want to make sure that the phone complies with what they want on their network. Their wants are pretty trivial. They're just expressing their power.

Will the 4.3 update come to Unbranded USA HTC One 32 gb too?
