Htc one m7 lollipop when Verizon?

When are you going to approve the Lollipop update for the M7 HTC One ????

Verizon doesn't care about timely updates, they want tyopush you to buy a new phone and make sure they totally lock everything down so that you can't enjoy the phone you paid for. Verizon sucks and I am really missing T-Mobile.

  • HTC One M8 Lollipop Problems

    Hello, I recently updated to Lollipop (so software is Android 5.0.2, HTC Sense 6.0) on my HTC One M8, and I've been having a number of problems with the messaging app. Basically, messaging has become a complete mess/hassle. It takes up to 5 or 6 seconds every time to bring up conversations, and when it does to, the app often crashes ("Unfortunately, Messages has stopped"). I think I've counted a total of 30 crashes or so in the past week were I to guess. Generally the crashing occurs when attempting to type a message (that is to say that it doesn't happen often with inactivity or just reading messages, though that has happened I think). Additionally, I've noticed significant lag when typing messages of almost any length (so not correlated to long or large messages or anything). Only recent change has been the upgrade to Lollipop and a theme change to Cascadia. Has anyone had any similar problems? Any known solutions or anything I can try? Thanks. 

    You need to do a factory reset on the phone.  You have an app that did not like the conversion to lollipop.  Back up all your data and factory reset the phone.   Then clear your cache. To wipe the cache partition, follow these steps: If the phone is not working correctly, you may need to master reset it and also clear the cache partition. These two resets clear different parts of the phone storage. Unlike a master reset, wiping the cache partition does not delete your personal data. To wipe the cache partition, follow these steps: Turn off the device.Press and hold the Volume Down key.Press and release the Power key to turn the phone on.Continue holding the Volume Down.Release the Volume Down key when the three Android images appear on the bottom of the screen.Press the Volume Down key once to move the cursor from FASTBOOT to RECOVERY.Press the Power key to begin the wipe.The device displays the bootup screen followed by a phone with a red triangle.
    Press the Up Volume key and Power key at the same time.Press the Down Volume key three times to select Wipe cache partition.Press the Power key to initiate the wipe.Wait until the phone displays Cache wipe complete.Press the Power key to select Reboot system now.If this does not resolve your issue, the next step a master reset

  • A new Variant of the htc One M8,  Comming to Verizon

    Sprint has the New M8 Harmon / Kardon edition,  so might it be fitting to see something close to it.. in a Verizon model well as talks goes,  sounds like it might happen,  The name the  "ONE REMIX"  is I guess it possible name..
    When it's exactly coming out..  not said for sure..  but when it does arrive.. I bet it will be packed with some real nice Goodies..
    As for Harmon / Kardon got them on my Toshiba Laptop they sound really Good..
    here is a bit more info on it..
    http://www.droid-life.com/2014/05/14/htc-one-remix-name-tipped-headed-to-verizon/

    if I understand it correctly, the Harmon/Kardon version has the exact same hardware, but the software has a tweaked EQ. In my opinion, it isn't worth considering a separate SKU. If you want an M8, get an M8 now and don't wait for one with gimmicky software tweaks.

    Make sure on your bootloader screen it says near the top LOCKED or RELOCKED.  RUU will not run if the bootloader is UNLOCKED.
    Otherwise, its the right RUU, and especially if your phone is stock (never modded, bootloader unlocked, etc.) I don't see why the RUU will not run.
    Try downloading the RUU again, to make sure the file wasn't corrupted during download.  Try a different PC, if possible.

  • What phone to purchase and HTC One

    I have 2 questions. My wife is due for an upgrade and has been shopping phones. What is your suggested phone to purchase? Also, when will the HTC One be available through Verizon, has anyone heard? Thanks for your assistance!

    Rick,
    I don't have any idea about the HTC One, but I wanted to maybe chat about your second question in regards to which phone for your wife.
    I assume since you are posting in  the Android section and also asking about the HTC One, you are leaning towards a droid versus apple product for your wife as well.  But if not, then obviosly the first question for her is would she want a droid phone or an iPhone 4, 4s or 5...
    Assuming droid, then IMO the next question is does she want one of the larger screen phones (Samsung Galaxy s3 or s4, or Moto Droid Raxr hd for example) or would prefer a smaller device.
    If she wants a slightly smaller device, I personally HIGHLY recommend the Droid Razr M.  Got this very phone for my wife about a month ago and she loves it.  Basically the same phone as the larger droid Razr HD and HD Maxx, with the notable exceptions being it has 8GB memory vs 16gb (HD) or 32 (HD Maxx) and it does has a slightly smaller battery than hd (and dramatically smaller than hd maxx, but so does every phone ha ha).  As a side note, you can add a cheap micro sd card to all 3 razr's so somewhat makes the phone storage a lesser issue
    Beyond that it is a great phone.  small, light weight BUT 4.3 inch beautiful screen.  She loves it.  It is not a super small phone, just a smaller phone (if that makes sense).  it is also free with 2 yr agreement
    If she is interested in one of the others listed above, really there are (IMO) at this time 4 to think about:
    Droid Razr HD ($50 at verizon now)
    Droid Razr HD Maxx ($149 at verizon, same phone as above except hugh battery life, 32 gb vs 16gb)
    Samsung Galaxy sIII ($99 at verizon I think, amazon has it for $25)
    Samsung Galaxy s4 (4199 at verizon)
    I personally looked and looked and looked at the 4 phones above.  like a lot.  as in my wife was ready to strangle me.  And I settled on the Droid razr HD.  I did not need the longer battery life of the Maxx and a $15 micro sd card bumped my storage up 16 gb, more than I will ever need most likely.  I liked the interface of the samsumg more, and it did more 'cool tricks', but the motorola's I read have great reception and I honestly liked the feel of the phone more.  A bit more metal, solid feel to it vs the pastic feel of the samsung.  I did read a lot of places the camera on the samsung sIII is slightly better than droids (honestly the razr HD camera is 'ok' but nothing to go crazy over) and the s4 camera is great.  but it is $150-$175 more than the alternatives.
    Hope this all helped.

  • Any ideas as to when the HTC One (M7) will receive Andriod Lollipop?

    Any ideas as to when the HTC One (M7) will receive Andriod Lollipop?

    HTC and or Verizon  are delaying as long as possible so you will get frustrated and buy a new phone.

  • Will Verizon release Lollipop for HTC One M7?

    Will Verizon release Lollipop for HTC One M7, and if so, any ideas when? Thanks!

    Check with HTC. They are one in charge of coding for that device not Verizon Wireless.

  • When will the Verizon HTC One (M8) finally get the Extreme Power Saving Mode software update?

    Other carriers (AT&T, Sprint) already have it, but Verizon is taking forever apparently.
    When will Verizon customers be able to download and use this new mode?
    Thanks!

    I recently bought an HTC One m8 from Verizon, and like many other customers the Extreme Power-saving Feature was one of my keys factors to deciding to buy. I was very disappointed to learn after the fact that Verizon had not included, and has no intention to include the feature in the future. (Mentioned in other threads in the forum). I've read the argument made that Verizon never advertised the feature and never said it would be included with their version of the phone, but they also never went out of the way to warn perspective buyers that the feature, which is part of the m8 phone on other carriers and marketed by HTC as a part of their phone wouldn't be included. When people are researching phones before they decide what to get they read what features the manufacturer(s) have designed and implemented in those phones, not search to find all the things the carrier may have stripped from the phone.
    It's impractical and offensive to tell a customer that its his/her responsibility every time they buy a phone from them to dig deep into website forums and look for what they decided to remove from it that the manufacturer had built, and advertised to be in their phone. This is the type of thing that is bad PR for Verizon, and something that will make customers go to other carriers. I don't want to offend some of the nice Verizon employees who want to  help their customers and simply don't have the power to correct the issue themselves, but its in Verizon's best interest to either fix their network to work with this feature, or find/hire someone else who will. Doing it soon before the issue escalates and news of Verizon's statement to do nothing to correct the issue for their HTC One m8 customers spreads like wildfire and burns them.
    I hope someone at Verizon doesn't let the rest of the company go on ignoring the issue and steps up to find a  way to enable Extreme Power Saving Mode on the Verizon Network. Right now the impression many people have is something along the lines of: now that you've bought a phone from us, and signed up for a contract with us we don't care what you want and think.
    In the meantime it would be a good idea to enable the option in the phone with a popup message when enabled that reads something along the lines of: Verizon has concluded that in some cases Extreme Power Saving Mode can cause network issues. If you experience network issues please disable extreme power saving mode and return to one of the  other power modes. Verizon will continue to research the issue, and will institute a fix if/when a solution is found.

  • Why doesn't the Verizon Version of the HTC ONE (M9) have Wifi Calling?

    I have been with sprint for 11 years and recently upgraded my HTC One (M7) to the HTC One (M9). went to jamaica and was able to keep in touch with everyone free of charge with wifi calling. Once i returned i decided to leave sprint and come to Verizon. I realized today they dont have wifi calling on this phone. Why is that. isn't it CDMA like sprint

    They're planning on releasing it in mid-2015:
    Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) plans to introduce Wi-Fi calling in the middle of next year but does not see an urgent need for it, according to Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo.
    Speaking at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference, Shammo noted that Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus support Wi-Fi calling. He said Verizon needs to do "some technological work in our network to make it available," and it should come around the middle of next year.
    However, he said Wi-Fi calling was "never a top priority" for Verizon. "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call.'"
    He noted that when a call goes onto a Wi-Fi network, it's difficult for Verizon to guarantee the quality of service on that call, which is what Verizon has built its brand reputation on. That's a major reason Verizon waited so long to launch Voice over LTE service--it wanted to make sure it had adequate coverage that could replicate the voice experience of calls on its 3G CDMA network. Verizon has just started rolling out VoLTE service.
    Other carriers are moving ahead with Wi-Fi calling plans. Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T's Mobile & Business Solutions Group,  said last week that AT&T will launch Wi-Fi calling in 2015 but that the carrier will use it only as a complement to Voice over LTE or 3G-based calling. "We don't have this burning desire" to use it to enhance coverage, he said.
    The comments were notable in light of T-Mobile US' (NYSE:TMUS) announcement this week that heavily emphasized Wi-Fi calling and using personal routers to create Wi-Fi coverage areas in subscribers' homes. T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. carrier to support Wi-Fi calling on the new iPhone. Sprint (NYSE: S) also launched a Wi-Fi calling service for its Android smartphones this past February.
    In terms of other hot topics, Shammo said Verizon would not be leasing phones, as Sprint is doing with its "iPhone for life" offering with the new iPhones. Under that program, individual customers will pay $20 a month for a 16 GB iPhone 6, instead of $30 under normal financing. At the end of 24 months, they can trade in their iPhone for a new iPhone. The iPhone 6 Plus will cost $25 per month under this program instead of $35 under normal financing. If a customer wants an iPhone with more internal storage they will pay more per month. The leasing program applies to families as well.
    Shammo said Verizon offers its Edge handset-financing and early-upgrade program but that the "majority" of Verizon customers are still choosing subsidized handsets paired with two-year contracts. In contrast, AT&T said sales through its similar Next program represented around 50 percent of all smartphone sales in the second quarter.
    Shammo also touched on whether Verizon might sell its wireless-tower assets, saying the company remains open to it. In the past, doing a deal "always came down to price and terms and conditions," which he said have become more favorable. He said that Verizon's network is experiencing high demand and that the company would like to retain the flexibility to add towers or add network gear to existing towers. "It's an option for us," he said. "We continue to look at it, and we'll see what happens."
    Last week at a separate investor conference, Verizon Communciations CEO Lowell McAdam also said the company would be open to selling some of its towers if the price was right. "Those deals are coming to us a little more now, and if an opportunity presented itself to increase shareholder value" Verizon would be interested in pursuing it, McAdam said, according to Reuters. McAdam said Verizon received interest in its towers two years ago, but the bids weren't high enough.

  • Why is it that the Verizon version of the new HTC One M8 has no battery saver extreme ? Its been on Sprint for over two weeks now !

    The Battery Saver Extreme for the new HTC One Mi8 was announced by both Verizon and HTC, yet it is still not available on Verizon, has been on Sprint phones for over two weeks. According to HTC , Verizon has simply not released the necessary software update.
    Not at all good public relations when many people bought this phone with this feature being one of main reasons for the purchase !

    And a disabled download booster also. And the FM Radio is disabled. Just google for research.
    T-Mobile has the options. from what I am reading.
    Good Luck

  • Why wont verizon have a version of the HTC One?

    I know this has been talked about...and that most everyone out there is all hyped up about the next samsung galaxy, but as soon as the HTC one came out i was glued to it... until they announced the carriers. No Verizon version. WTH?? Im telling you BIG RED...you have two choices now that my contract is almost up. You either a) announce some stupidly named droid device that is very much akin to this HTC one...(maybe with a better battery)...or b)i will switch to sprint and say...bu-bye
    Title edited by: Verizon Moderator

    verizon dont like carrying phones that other carriers carry. the galaxy s 3 and note 2 are exceptions because the market share for those devices are big so they would lose big time money not to carry them.. 
    verizon prefer manufacturers to make exclusive verizon phones EX: HTC DROID DNA... SAMSUNG DROID CHARGE MOTOROLA DROID LINES.
    samsung put its foot down last year by making the SGS III identical across all US carriers. verizon had no choice but to swallow the pill.  good for samsung now HTC its trying to follow samsung steps. verizon feels that they wont lose much money by not carrying the htc one
    NOW HERE IS THE REASON WHY VERIZON DECIDED NOT TO CARRY HTC ONE.
    Imagine verizon advertising the HTC ONE in a TV AD ..... why would a new customer get and HTC ONE from verizon when that same new customers can get it from t mobile and save big time money over the course of 2 years??
    verizon only like phones they can tout as exclusive.
    hopefully the HTC DROID DNA is the last droid phone we will ever see.
    If manufactures start selling the same device year after year across all carriers... Carriers like verizon will lose its stranglehold in the industry. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.

  • Defective HTC One and TERRIBLE Service from Verizon

    Monday evening my phone stopped charging and started going into car mode whenever I plugged the phone in. It was getting close to closing time so I headed over to a local Verizon store. I was in Boston and away from my awesome independently owned Verizon store so of course I proceeded to wait for 25 minutes for someone to help me. Eventually someone helped me and he was actually quite helpful. He did a soft reset and the phone seemed okay. He told me that if I had the issue again to just call up and they'd ship me a warranty replacement. Two days later the phone began going into dock mode and the screen was flickering between dock mode and whatever I was trying to do. I headed over to the same Verizon store because I was unable to call the warranty center on my defective device. When I got there, after waiting yet again, I dealt with an extremely rude and exceptionally useless employee. I told him that I was there because I was unable to call Verizon on my phone yet after he couldn't go through the warranty process on his ipad because the HTC One is 'too new' he handed me a phone number(which I already had) and said there was nothing more he could do for me. Frustrated I left to call Verizon. Luckily my phone felt like working now and the employee I dealt with insisted I do a hard reset before they send me a warranty replacement even though everyone else had ensured me it'd be an easy process. Eventually I was able to do the reset later that day and the phone was okay for a day, but then the issues reappeared. Last night I called Verizon and they told me that I won't receive my replacement until MONDAY. My phone is on my family's family plan, but I'm honestly considering leaving Verizon personally after this and hopefully I'll be able to sway them as well. We've been Verizon Wireless customers for 10+ years as well as FIOS and business customers for a long time and Verizon's handling of this situation was beyond poor. To make matters worse, now that I'll be waiting four days over the weekend for a replacement, the One seems to be getting worse - this morning it took a three soft resets, one hard reset, and two more soft resets to get it to charge. Good luck with this phone guys.

  • When will Kit Kat be available for my HTC One?

    I still don't have Kit Kat available for download on my HTC One. Any idea when that will happen?  I was told by Verizon support a few weeks ago that March 7, 2014 was the release date for the "pull".
    Thanks in advance.

        Thanks for the info Erik2013. Here are some steps to assist with making sure that update has fully been pushed to your device http://vz.to/1fYqhsJ If you are still having issues, you might need to master reset the phone to see if that can help push the update http://vz.to/OqXUHP Please keep us posted on the results. Before performing a hard reset, try to power the device off and pull the SIM card out for 5-10 minutes. Thanks again for your patience Erik2013.
