4.2.2 OTA Tomorrow

[Gator352]

Couldnt agree more. My evo lte is still on ICS (awesome phone recently retired) because the Jellybean update had many people in fits of rage lol. I wont update to 4.2 for a week or two after the update's out. Better safe in my opinion

What did it do to the Evo LTE?

Yeah I understand how to activate it, but since not all apps have a menu how will we know one exists? Do we just guess and try to activate it and if there is one it shows up and if not nothing happens? That's a terrible user experience. I'd much rather have the tiny black bar that is a visual indication that there's a menu rather than an inconsistent user experience.

I think that apps that have a menu will have the 3 dots (on top right) or you can use long press on home. Apps that don't have a menu will not have the three dots indicating no menu. My guess anyways.

I would love to have the toggles at the top and the menu bar gone. Looks like the S3 may get updated before the One. Awesome. The one is still an awesome phone. Although I just had to wipe mine because of a mysterious error message that started showing up.

The complaint is about the lack of a visual clue that there is a menu at all. Any new app will have to be tested by the user to know if it has a menu if it hasn't updated. At least the ugly black bar was a visual indication of a menu being present. I'll survive I'm sure but I can agree that this experience is probably less user friendly than the present solution.

^ I wiped my One too. I Googled it, apparently it has something to do with Disabling Apps? I don't even know why I bothered, I was just bored so now I leave the Apps as is.

What's wrong with a tutorial as suggested?

We understand HOW it works, the problem arises with the WHEN it works. Imagine if the check engine light in your car suddenly was updated so it only came on when you did something to call it up.

OK so to save me the time of reading through 3 pages of posts with the possibility of still not getting the answer can someone just tell me when U.S. customers will be getting the 4.2.2 OTA update? I am with Sprint...not sure if that matters with regard to when the update is available....thank you

There's never a way to tell until the update actually begins rolling out.

so I bought my HTC One full price and unlocked (extended my att contract with my WP last nov.) this means when HTC pushes out an update I will get it instead of waiting for ATT to do their thing right?

Exactly as Android has worked for years before they deprecated the menu button? If a program doesn't have a three dot action overflow button, you try the menu button (in this case a long press of the Home button) and see what happens. Your question is exactly why Google is trying to get people AWAY from the menu button, so that all actions are easily found onscreen.

If you bought it from HTC, correct.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten a phone with older software. I had hoped that with the phone being brand new and a premium device that software updates would be timely. My mistake.

Sounds like someone needs to relax a lil bit.

I get that error every time I restart my phone, don't know that it is causing any other problems. When were you getting the error?

Yeah that's the issue. If all apps were coded properly then the presence of a menu would be obvious as there would be a 3 dot menu identifier built into the app and not in a black bar. That would be great. As it is now, the bar appears when an app has a menu. This also is fine. If the black bar goes away and an app doesn't have a visually obvious menu identifier then we don't know if a menu exists. In this case you'll just have to try the menu key command and see what happens. That's not a good user experience.

I understand that this is the way it worked for devices with a dedicated menu button, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an inconsistent user experience.

I think the black bar should be kept. As apps are updated it will appear less and less frequently, but the user will always know if a menu exists.

Has the error message gone away?

It did after I wiped the phone. Now I'm afraid to download any launchers or any apps that control the installation/uninstallation of apps. Which really sucks because I can't stand Blinkered. And the Facebook integration in the gallery is ridiculous. I'm starting to hate this phone after just two days.

You can disable facebook/gallery integration.
