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

Wow, thank you Cloud121 for the tip. I will get it before Friday.

 

If you allow Google to back up your settings, your apps will automatically be downloaded when you sign on to your new phone. When I activated my EVO LTE after moving from the 3D, all my apps automatically loaded when I signed in.

Is this a setting in the Play Store?

 

Peace,

Does it still restore every single application that you have ever downloaded...ever.... ?

When I flash a new ROM after a full factory reset, it'll prompt to restore via Google Play after logging into your gmail. It'll download all of the apps you last had installed since the last backup that took place.

As far as I can tell, it only restores the ones that were installed the last time your phones settings were backed up. When I activated my EVO LTE, it only installed the apps that were installed on my EVO 3D. When I activated my S3, it only installed the apps that were on my EVO LTE. Other's experiences might be different, I don't know.

I was out of the country until Sunday, and was getting errors when I tried to order. I ordered on Sunday and immediately got the following:

Google now will make calls, text, navigate, search with only using you voice. I personally love Google now. It also gives you traffic, weather, restaurants, lounges, etc.

I am accustomed to those voice functions by pressing and holding the search button on my 3D. If Google Now will do the same thing by my holding down the home button on my One, that will be a pretty smooth transition. Although I have a feeling there must be another screen tap involved, because I'm assuming the long hold on the home button will bring up the card and not immediately prompt for a voice command. A fairly minor issue, I'm sure.

Once the Google Now page comes up, just say "Google" and then speak your command.

Doesn't work on my inactive GS3.

Dang. Thanks for trying.

 

I was hoping to do some comparisons between the EVO LTE and One when I get mine on friday. I'll have to wait til I activate the EVO for my brother.

I will move my evo lte over to my other line to replace my gnex then add the One to my main line. I will be able to do a lot of comparisons between the two on friday.

That's when you say "Google" and then say what you want. I was used to how the EVO 3d was also, when I first got the EVO LTE there was no Google now, the voice had to be an app which was a bummer. I believe the HTC one Google now will work similar to the EVO LTE and all the nexus devices.

I'm just looking forward to getting my per-ordered new HTC One.

 

My OG EVO is really starting to get on my nerves with the self rebooting and the freezing.

 

(I know...I know...do a Factory Reset...have done that a couple of times in the past...not again...just going to wait for my new phone :D)

They changed slightly the wording on my order status page:

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.

 

I believe it previously said they'd do their best to get it to me "by Friday, 4/19" and now it's "on or around." I'll be irritated if it's available in stores on Friday and I don't have it on Friday.

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

 

For me there are too many variables in play to "pre-order & ship." That's why I went the "pre-order and pick up" route through my local Sprint corporate store. I am off on Friday so waiting in line in the morning is a non-issue and I'd rather have it in my hand before lunch rather than miss a Friday FedEx delivery and have to wait until Monday.

 

I called my local store yesterday to see if they had gotten word wether they will open early on Friday. He said they won't know until Thursday. I'll call back tomorrow, but they have said the chances are pretty good.

 

Peace,

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!!!!!

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.

 

The exception was the EVO 4G LTE which was because of customs.
