...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
What the hell is taking 4.2.2 so long to release? I swear to God. Every time I buy a great new phone I never get another update for its firmware, meanwhile all other phones and models do.
When I switch to that model that is frequently updated...things go wrong.

This is the risk you take when you go HTC, unfortunately.

Can always root and put in custom roms. Had 4.2.2 for a couple of months now.

I'm in the same boat but I'm trying to go away from iOS. And I'll die from a heart attack if Verizon gets the new nexus. But with the n7 having verizon lte on it anythings possible.
If he went google play he'd have 4.3!

Well I got a 64gig Att version and I can turn mine into a Google play edition complete with working OTA update.
Or flash a Rom that allows me to switch from sen use to GE or vice versa on the fly.
The One is very developer friendly.

It's firmware. All custom Rom solved that issues right from the beginning.

I did it all of my past Androids. I just don't feel like rooting anymore these days, idk why. LOL
And there is no way to understand what is causing it and apply it on stock ROMs like ARHD?

never had issue with popping sound since i put any custom rom in it.
And you're using? Which one?
So i've had a Lumia 920 for three months now and i've absolutely had it with that phone. Now i'm looking for a new phone and the choice comes down to the HTC one or an Iphone 5. Before my Lumia I had a Desire HD which was great. But recently I started using my Ipad more, as in spending to much money on apps, and I kinda want to get the most out of the money spent. I do love the camera on the Lumia and I take alot of pictures/videos with my phone. Now I would choose the One probably of my good experience with android and HTC, i've never had an Iphone before though I do have an Ipad. Can anyone give me some advice on their usage of the One, the camera and just how you thing the UI handles? Thanks in advance.
Ok first of all I tell you about a close friend of mine who had Android HTC One X, then passed to iPhone 5 and now has the HTC One: in his opinion HTC One is a better device. Things he liked most is the screen, compared to iPhone you see the difference, maybe not much in resolution (I could see it) but as dimension anyway in a adeguate size. He loves the Blinkfeed and the Zoe and generally the UI. iPhone 5 is light, very light, but the problem is that iOS is the same old thing, the new notifications won't change that much and anyway the iteraction with them is less than what you can have with Android, plus the fact that in 2013 with the use you have of internet and other applications to me 4.5 is the minimum size, with 5" the extreme. In this 4.7" of One are the right spot. His consideration but also mine.
My opinion as a HTC One user... well I was doubtful about the camera but after I could use it for good in a short trip I had in Netherland I was really surprised: great quality and great performace in lowlight. Another thing I like is the audio quality of the video recording. About this I just made "public" a video in my G+, count that this is the recording I did when I did not set anything yet, just using video recording function for the first time: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103627051474786055376/posts/chWqXaKvHb5
I suggest you to choose the resolution and set it to at least 720
A part this honestly I think that right now this is the best phone you can get. Materials, functions and system, or at least the best compromise between those aspects.

No removable social media on the home screen? Wtf. Are you talking about blinkfeed? If so just make another homescreen.

I'm currently using cleanrom 5.0 base on 4.2.2 with cleanrom Kernal overclocked to 2.05ghz....beast!!

Or use a different launcher! Installing CM over that is EXTREEEME
Also going to get rid of the bloatware, launchers can only hide.
I'm using One GSM version so no Cleanrom for me... :-(
About the camera: tried to take some other picture. Well I can see some "noise" but on the cellphone just look terribly different: oversatured so much it amplify all the noise. Why? Is because some ROM tweak or setting?
By the way does anyone has a link to the old ARHD 10.3? I would like to run some test since with that I had no speaker popping problem but with 12.1 and 12.2 yes....
Thanks

Went with the conversion instead of CM, or in conjunction?
Just CM. Side Note: TMO's LTE network ain't bad.

All gsm roms are compatible
So I can use the cleanrom? Even if is under AT&T? I saw that now is based on international few but was not sure about compatibility. Any particular thing I need to be aware when installing it or just like the other ROM?

I have an the Att version, I been flashing international rom with no issues. Its been said countless of time in xda that all gsm models roms are compatible with each other.
I suggest to try it out, ..can't hurt.
With overclocked kernal the phone is super snappy.

other than on XDA and now with your post, nope.
Great advice my friend: in the topic of the Rom I found a great ROM (suggested to EVERYONE) and a great little community.
thank you Shinshoryuken !

I just can't stick with iOS. I have regretted it for 2 years. I'm on beta now and it's not better.
I'll still get my one, maybe moto x if I like it in person.
I don't think we'll be able to tell with beta. The biggest deal, IMO - the multitasking hooks -won't really shine until all the major apps are relaunched come September.
You think the biggest selling point of an OS is it's multitasking?
Yeah, I really, really want to switch but I also don't want an inferior phone. I need the best!

I don't see that really changing much of the experience.
I'm willing to get ripped off by Verizon's new upgrade program to change in 6 months.
WHY THAT GIGANTIC LOGO VERIZON?
Uhg, they could of at least stacked them so it looked balanced...

No problem.
Glad you like the cleanrom. Like I've been saying, it's not only a great Rom, but the community is also great. Scott actually takes time to answer questions and feed backs.
