So does that mean Wifi & BT cannot be used simultaneously on the One?

 

Yes, and this is true of most/all smartphones.

No proper wireless nerd wears skinny jeans. With all of our devices, we need cargo pants with lots of pockets. Otherwise you would have to use a fanny pack, and that is not complimentary to the image

I got Dana Wollman from Engadget (review: http://www.engadget....-sprint-review/) to confirm the Sprint HTC One does have the engineering screens.     Edit- I do hope they had a final build unit

I am pretty sure on my Evo 3D I have been browsing the internet via Wifi while streaming audio via BT from my phone to my car stereo. Maybe it has a different configuration.

That does not mean that both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are transmitting at the same time. And the EVO 3D is like most other smartphones -- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth share an antenna.

This confuses me a bit, I stream music from pandora and play through bluetooth all the time. Unless pandora buffers, pauses music playback, then play's it through bluetooth, I have no idea how this is possible.

Good work, leerage. Yes, let us hope that the final build retains the engineering screens (or that the FieldTrial.apk can be sideloaded from the EVO LTE to the One).

I asked Dana if she could try the ##DEBUG# code as well on the AT&T HTC One and as expected it did not work.

I am fairly certain that the ##DEBUG# code has long/always been just a Sprint thing.

I use Wifi and bluetooth frequently for Pandora never had an issue, what would prevent the antenna from being used if Wifi and BT were not transmitting/receiving on the same channels?

I really want to order another HTC One in black.

 

Anyone know the best place to grab One (off contract)?

Newegg and Wirefly are offering the One in black for preorder but I suspect they will be delyaed. Sprint and HTC have given no date when the One in black will be available.

 

Edit -- I take that back. Wirefly is now showing as "Coming soon" and no option to preorder and from what I can tell on Newegg, they have removed the option completely for stealth black.

I went to both best buy and a sprint corporate store. They both said that I could not preorder a black one and they had no eta on its availability.

From reading Mr. Nickinson's review, you can see how the lingering network issues still affect Sprint. How many people read a review like that and take him at face value, even though their network experience could be completely different where they live?

He tested it in Atlanta which is at almost full build out. I don't know how the reception is at Hartsfield airport, one of the places he tested it is, but the switching from 4G to 3G back and forth on the One concerns me. I'm going to see how others rate it on this site and others before I buy. I hope the radio is a good performer.

Come on, I live in atlanta and I am averaging about twice what he is claiming. Besides, running speedtests at the airport probably won't give you the best results anyway, after all hartsfield jackson is the worlds busiest airport which averages a quarter million passengers every single day.

The two sites actually on airport property and two sites, respectively, just north and west of the airport have not been completed yet. So, Phil Nickinson was connecting only to more distant sites, many of them easily two miles away around the airport.

 

I swear, some of these tech "journalists" seemingly cannot help themselves but make Sprint look bad.

From looking at the sponsor maps, it appears there are major improvements still to come at ATL (airport). (Can I say that?)

 

Edit: never mind.

Silver is the way to go. Because the One is aluminum, the black anodization is going to scratch off and look ass bad (not badass) relatively quickly.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
