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 would be too jsa. Hope that doesn't happen though.

Thanks! I hope yours is ready and waiting for you bright and early Friday as well.

Good News, I'm going to get a One after all. I took my EVO LTE into best buy to get it fixed. They shipped a refurb to replace it that would not connect on 4G. The replacement they sent for that phone was DOA. They pre-ordered me a One yesterday to replace the DOA phone. :tu:

 

Gotta Love Best Buy!!!!!

That's incredible--congratulations! Are you on a maintenance plan with them? If I weren't on SERO, buying future phones through Best Buy would be really tempting.

Sprint Preorders are always the same and people always get upset. Sprint's preorder system stinks.

 

They will ship today via ups "second day air" according to the website but are actually overnighted. Those that preordered by the 16th will have their "One" by Thursday.

If that's correct, there won't be much to complain about!

 

My yardstick has been a little skewed because the only preorder I've been involved in, my girlfriend's AT&T One X, arrived weeks, maybe even a month or so, before general availability--again due to shipments being held up due to a patent dispute as I recall.

I hope there's a newer firmware than the one that says "print" instead of "Sprint" on the notification bar! :P

Or better yet, no "Sprint" in the notification bar at all--we know which to which network we've subscribed! :P

That is outstanding!!

 

Last week, I actually gave BB a shot first to pre-order the One. After waiting 10 minutes to speak to someone and then getting very little real help, I concluded these are not the guys I want handling my upgrade. I drover around the corner to the Sprint corporate store nearby and got it all done there. I know every store is different, but these are folks I've worked with before and they handled me competently.

 

The only decision I have left is whether to insure this phone or not. Never have before and this will be my fourth HTC phone through Sprint.

 

Peace,

I always recommend putting it on at first. After using it for a few weeks you can decide if the phone is strong enough without it or waiting for a case to come in.

They changed the status message slightly.

 

Thanks for ordering the HTC One Silver with White accent. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Pre-orders placed through 4/16 are expected to deliver on or around Friday, 4/19. Any orders placed on 4/17 or later will deliver in 2 to 5 business days from order date. You may continue to track status of your order on www.sprint.com/myorder. Since we are processing so many pre-orders so quickly, your tracking number takes a little longer to get to you than normal. Do not worry. If you ordered before 4/16, your tracking email may come as late as Friday, 4/19 when your phone is already on its way to your door. Thanks for your patience.

jsa - Nice to at least get a little reassurance.

 

THCandriod - I've got a case and will always use one. I've just never been a big fan of insurance for electronics.

 

Peace,

Sprint will treat your phone as if it is under warranty even after your year is up if you have insurance.

I'm hoping the insurance I purchased for the EVO LTE will transfer to the One. I need to ask that question.

btw: glad I purchased the insurance, I replaced the EVO 2x. 1st time it was bent from being in my pocket. :)

2nd time it had a problem with the touch screen. There was no fee for each of the issues.

Best Buy. I normally don't buy it, but it was cheaper than Sprint, and I somehow was getting some additional credits, so it didn't cost me much.

My OG EVO rebooted itself 3 times today. I'm looking forward to Friday! I'm on the Pre-Order Wait List and have an Appointment at a Sprint Corporate Store near my work.

 

Looking forward to Friday! :D

I got my tracking email, too. I ordered on the 4/5 around 4:30pm ET. I'm not sure whether it will be here today or tomorrow, because UPS doesn't have any tracking information in their system yet, but my tracking email came in around 2am this morning and says it shipped next day PM. Either way will be great.

Guys, as your handsets arrive today/tomorrow, will one of you please confirm that the internal Field Trial (##33284#) and Testing (*#*#4636#*#*) apps are present in the final shipping ROM and accessible via their dialer codes? Screenshots would also be appreciated. Thanks...

The first arrival is also free to start the HTC One users thread, as this preview thread has served its purpose and basically run its course.

Will do, if no one else has first. Power+Home? Is there any info on those screens that needs redacting for privacy/security purposes?

The Phone information screen in the Testing.apk displays your IMEI and phone number right at the top. Those should be redacted. Or post a screenshot of just the Testing menu, not the Phone information screen.

When ordering the HTC One at Sprint.com, did anyone else at checkout notice this disclaimer?

 

SIM Card included in your new device must remain in the device (swapping is prohibited).

 

So, I think we have our answer regarding how removable SIMs will function on Sprint for the foreseeable future.

I did the same thing when I bought my wife's iPhone 5 on Verizon at Christmas. It covers more without deductible and doesn't have a limit on replacements. The only drawback is they don't cover a lost phone.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
