***The Official HTC One Thread***

[Bradmax57]

Just got my HO back from repair and to my joy I've been sent a replacement, probably a refurb but I don't care its pritstine, mine was battered to hell, with scratches all over the back, a couple of small dents etc, so happy now I'm no longer looking for a new phone

My HTC One is still on the original android version and Sense 5.

Is there any reason not to upgrade? No crap new features that make you wish you'd never bothered?

Seen a few complaints about lack of smoothness in some menu transitions etc?

 

[Orcvader]

I've been finding Sense 6 pretty smooth so far. I'm liking it more than Sense 5.5, it feels like a good step up.

I find it much smoother than before, some of the colour schemes are a bit meh, the default ringstones are total garbage but other than that cant see why not, tbh I cant even remember what sense 5 is like......

 

[[TW]Fox]

Surely it won't get rid of the current ringtones?

My colour scheme is just black and white. Still an option?

 

[Bradmax57]

I don't know about current ringtones as I just got a stock handset replacement today from htc and I immediately updated it, there is a black and white option for themes

Liking the update

Seems our phone will get Android L: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...in-90-days-of-release-whenever-that-might-be/

So will we get a Sense 6.5 or 7 with this? The updates with L are pretty big so will be interesting to see how HTC will mix them in with Sense.

 

[Something Else]

The only thing I want in a future version of Android is App Ops integrated into the stock operating system. That and the ability to remove the bloatware found on devices without root.

I don't seem to have the update available. It only offers 4.3. Do I need to update to that first? I have a non network specific handset.

I would imagine so

Yes. The updates go from 4.1.2 -> 4.2.2 -> 4.3 -> 4.4.2, and some small bugfix updates in between some of them.

Just updated, where has my T9 keypad gone arggh

Are you on the latest Sense 6? Go to "Settings" -> "Language & keyboard" -> "HTC Sense Input" -> "Keyboard selection" -> "Keyboard types" and select "Phone".

 

[[TW]Fox]

It came back with 5.5. Now on the sense 5.5 update and it says my phone is up to date. No sense 6 update is offered?

[Bradmax57]

both my htc__001 and htc__032 have updated

 

[[TW]Fox]

I hope the update is good, not impressed with the move to Sense 5.5. Infact the only differences I've noticed so far is the pointless change of the battery indicator to being all white - whereas before it was green until it got below 20% and went yellow - and the fact that the T9 keyboard not automatically enters a space if it thinks you've finished the word. Great.

Battery indicator change is quite irritating, why did they do that?

Kitkat.

Google wants the OEM's not to skin so much.

Anyone having issues with the stock messages app being laggy and crashing since the update? Using Google keyboard but it seems to be fine for everything else typing related.
