Got the media link yesterday, works very seamlessly with this phone. I don't have much use for it but I'm sure it'll come in handy on some occasions.

I got my black HTC One today. I'm loving it so far. Nice upgrade from my old Evo 4G. The only thing I'm worried about is the aluminum body seems like it will get scratched pretty easily. Fortunately the case that I ordered will be here tomorrow, but until then I'm being extra cautious with the phone.
Sorry for the late reply, but I thoroughly agree with you. Listened to the Anandtech podcast 19 and agreed so much when they said the HTC One was a beautiful phone that was also really good. They loved the HTC One so much they talked a lot about how crappy SD cards were when it came to reliability

Yeah ..brian klug really crapped on SD card. You should listen to podcast 20 were they talked about the S4...
Like most tech site...they suppose to be talking about the S4 then they get side tracked and start talking how beautiful the One is...lol
Why not? It is certainly working for HTC.
Good thing it out designs it in almost every way

Based on what? They look nothing alike, the OS is nothing alike, they aren't even the same price.
Where the hell did this come from? lol

ranges from normal/average to pretty good battery life depending on what you do in terms of push/blinkfeed/power saver/brightness/etc...
How is the 4GLTE on this phone? I've had mine since the 19th of last month and Sprints crap network in Denver has never got me past 3G coverage.
This phone is a beast but, I'm not able to exploit it's strength with my carrier coverage. What kind of network performance are the rest of you getting?

Is there a way to do a pattern lock to unlock the phone without having to slide to unlock first? It seems pretty redundant.

20/20 is what I get on average but I'm in canada so that probably doesn't help you. When I'm downtown it jumps to 30-40(down)/20+(up).
Hit and run trolls like this should be a bannable offense.
This phone is better than the iPhone in every conceivable way.

Why would it want to stoop so low?

I made another ZOE of my daughter, my wife, and I out for a walk. She's one week old. I have made so many of these things and I'm storing them. It's so easy to capture special moments and have them look special when I have no training in photography or videography. I love this phone.

I've seen the pop up a few times and always just selected one time but I want to permanently change the default browser to chrome. How do I do this?

Anyone know when the black One is coming to Canadian carriers? I'm with Rogers.

My store is probably never getting it, you may be able to order directly through Rogers over the phone though, but I've not heard of the black one coming.

Go to Settings-Applications and find the default Browser (pretty sure it's just called Browser). Click and and push "Clear Defaults" button. Now, the next time you open something to trigger the browser, the selection menu will show up again.
Select "Always Use" and then Chrome when the menu pops up and it will make Chrome the default.
You might see the menu more though, for example, if you open a link from Gmail and set Chrome to "Always Use" that will not change the default for when you open a link from the Messaging app. Basically you'll have to select Chrome for "Always use" in each app that triggers a browser open. Eventually you will be fully set and not see the menu anymore.
first you need to unlock your bootloader
so go to htcdev.com and follow those instructions, it's pretty easy..once you're done with that, the bootloader will be unlocked.
I downloaded the TWRP recovery img http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
and used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242635 to flash it. (flash recovery, your own recovery), cmd prompt will pop up, simply "x" that out, another window should pop up and navigate to where you saved the recovery img, and open it...it'll flash the recovery.
After that, boot your phone into recovery, wipe davlik cache/cache/data and then install the custom ROM of your choice.

There's a simple, all-in-one root kit. I used One_M7_All-In-One_Kit. All the instructions were in there and I got root quickly.

What's the easiest way to do a simple backup of everything, like creating an image of my current state, and then have the ability to restore it?
I simply want to backup what I have now, wipe it, and then let my wife play with the phone in her own setup for a couple days and then restore my phone so it's exactly like it was before I gave it to her. I hear Titanium Backup is a bit overkill for that. I've got the Developer Edition if it makes a difference.

I love the speakers on the phone. such a big step up compared to the N4 and S3 I had. Big help as I take a lot of status calls from home for work and I no longer have to worry about not being able to hear properly.

nandroid back up is exactly what you want to do.
unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery(CWM or TWRP)
once you have a recovery there is an option to backup/restore....you can just make a complete image back up and restore when ever you need.

Thanks! Sounds perfect. Just waiting for my battery to charge before I try it out =)
Check location settings in maps, some of the stuff there can eat battery when the map is off.

Yea need a case while the aluminum is nice it gets dirty so fast.
Excuse the noob question, but what benefit do I get from doing this? My last phone (and first Android) was an unlocked Galaxy Nexus. I never strayed from stock Android, since it got quick updates to new versions and I could tether without mucking with it.
Hmm... a lot of things are already off but I'll play around with it. Thanks.

I had a unlocked galaxy nexus too and it sucked without the help of custom roms.
Stock android is very vanilla that needs a lil bit of tweaking to make it better.
for example, no percentage indicator on the battery, no notification toggles, no power options, etc..custom roms adds those functionality integrating them, so you don't need an app.
Some roms can also improve the performance and battery life drastically.
and there are time that a firmware will leak and the developers can use that as a base...so you're getting the latest and greatest firmware even months before its official release.
