Sprint HTC One

[smcolbert]

Unfortunately for you corporate employees... It probably won't be available for EWD or SWAC accounts for 6 or so months, so you'll have to wait unless you piggy back on someone's consumer account or get an advocate device.

Hoping some one can give some insight on this...
I've gone to a few different Sprint stores as my upgrade became available on Mar 1st. Every time I mentioned anything HTC, the reps proceeded to ask me why I would be interested in an HTC. They said they have the most problems and are horrible after updates. Most of them kept pushing me towards the SIII....
I'm highly interested in the HTC One but wondering how accurate they are with their assessment.
Any of you have an HTC that can either confirm or reject their position on this?
Thanks!

I'm guessing personal opinions get in the way. Or maybe there was a spiff for selling the GS3. I had the EVO LTE and my only gripe was that it took some time to get 4.1. I personally love HTC products the only way I would tell someone not to get a device is if another is coming out in a few weeks.

Same thing here when I upgraded one of my lines a month ago. They told me that the Epic 4G Touch was there biggest phone to come back with problems and I should get the S3. I then pulled out my S2 and said it's fine accept for a new battery now give me a new S2 LOL

And those two screenshots. The one that says tegra 3 is odd since it show all three carrier's listed and T-Mobile states on there site a 600. But then in comes another pic that shows 600.... We will all know when the phone get's here and in the hands of someone, till then we wait.

If we buy the phone sans-subsidy at the store, does it matter?

A lot of employees have a Samsung bias. The original EVO had so much saturation that it was frequent that you would see it coming back with issues, but the device was fine, there were just so many out there. The EVO 3D did suffer from some quality issues, but as a whole they are wrong. HTC has the best quality hardware, craftsmanship, and form factor you'll find at Sprint.

So it won't be called an Evo then? Good, I think htc need to tell the carriers this is the phone your getting. No more Evo or droid line bs.

I was totally expecting to at least preorder by now. Wth is going on in those numbskull heads of theirs!

i'll probably be upgrading to the htc one as well, but i was curious as to know if the processor supports talking and surfing at the same time like the galaxy s3 does?

Many users had problems with a recent HTC EVO 4G LTE patch to Jelly Bean. They were pretty pissed. Other than that rececent incident I have never had phone issues. And even that recent incident showed on my phone as silly stuff, like the wrong ring-tone.

I intend to make the HTC One my fourth HTC phone.

I hope you give the HTC One a chance. It looks like a really fun phone!

Depends on the network, I suppose. GSM networks do it normally anyway. CDMA netorks can do it too. My EVO has done it since day one, before the GS3. I don't know if Verizon allows it but Sprint does.

Talking and surfing should be fine so long as you're on LTE.

Voice and data does not work on this phone with voice/3G. It will work with Voice/Wifi and Voice/4G(LTE)

My Epic 4G Touch does Voice/4G(WiMax) but not Voice/3G and I believe no Sprint phone(Android) offers this but I could be wrong on that.


Also on another note it seems that the HTC One forum on Sprint has been deleted..... It could just be an issue on their end but as of 5min ago clicking on it simply read not there could have been deleted.

The Qualcomm SoCs all do SVDO on 3g wither it be cdma or gsm. This has been that way since the SnapDragons came out.

 

[smcolbert]

Voice and 3G has not ever been available on any sprint phone. WiFi, Wimax, or LTE is the only way to get simultaneous voice+data

That is incorrect. Both the evo lte and the galaxy s 3 get voice and data on 3g ( my roommate and I both did and we have no lte here. ) the newer phones built it in from last year.

Earlier LTE phones had multiple separate paths for transmit and receive. This was inefficient and existed only because the new hardware wasn't out yet. But a side quirk/benefit was you could do simultaneous voice and 3g on earlier phones like the LG Viper.

In the future you will get LTE everywhere you get 3g so this won't matter, simultaneous voice and LTE will be better anyway.
