You have information that our version hasn't been submitted to Sprint already or..?

I'm sure it's with Sprint, but they dropped this to the Dual SIM model before the first international model.

And with 4.3 on the horizon... I still love HTC, this is just one of those parts about company that worry me.

The good thing is we at least know what we're expected to see with the update.

I've already engaged in a email conversation with HTC Dev and they ensure me that updates are coming soon and they are working on releasing the sources as well soon(sounds like everything else we read but it's nice they are directly communicating with me).

Only thing missing, time frame. I don't even need an exact date. I just need something from HTC like "Middle of July" or even something from Sprint saying, "Expect it in July".

It's not HTC. There are many parties involved when an update is released on a Carrier phone as opposed to a unbranded phone.

I appears that this update being pushed to the phones if China Telecom or some other Operators. The rough order is Google releases an update. OEMs get it working on theier hardware and add there stuff to it. Then the OEMs send it to unbranded phones and/or the Operators for them to put their stuff in it and test per thier networks. Then the Carriers push an update.
My guess here is that the Chinese Operators did not care to do much testing or what they did was fine, where as I read HTC was not happy with some of the firmware in the 4.2.2 update and have slightly delayed pushing thier's out. That seems awfully scary if an Operator is rushing something out.

Seriously... These kind of things make me regret being on sprint. Already our GSM brothers on GayT&T & Fail-Mobile converted their devices to Developer editions & Unbranded devices. We're stuck with stupid CDMA policies

You just dissed every American carrier that carries the One.

Even the sprint and Verizon GS4s received GE edition ROM ports, which has me going crazy. I'm seriously considering ditching my ONE for the GS4. Not to mention the signal for LTE on this phone is seriously getting to me in places I had perfect LTE with my GS3

Nobody has patience.... Just live life and let the update surprise you. Too much demanding going on here.

No demanding. Just frustrated with HTC at this point. 4.2.2 was supposed to be out mid June. It is now July. I had confidence in the ONE but I'm losing it quickly and so are some other people. No projected date, statement, acknowledgment to customers. This is why I left the EVO LTE. I had a soft spot in my heart because of the original OG Evo but it is starting to leave.

There was never a time table. There were rumors that 4.2.2 was supposed to hit in June. And this was for unbranded EU handsets not the US ones....

Regardless, it's been too long. Especially not relaying information to your customers. When your competitors updating older devices quicker than your newest device. That's sad.

HTC branded Sprint One

Has anyone seen this? My Sprint One has no Sprint branding (in software)....everything works as it should except I'm missing most of the settings in settings/mobile data. Sprint was unable to fix it & recommends swapping out....odd...I even called HTC, they were clueless, lol

hboot-1.44
unlocked via htc dev
Possibly a bad/did not get a software unit flash at the factory whether it's Sprint or HTC that does the carrier specific branding. I'm assuming they flash all units with their standard image and then specifically flash their carrier image changes but looks like this one has not been given a carrier flash due to you not having any Sprint specific parameters under Mobile Data.
Try the official RUU and if that doesn't work get a new one.
Did you htcdev unlock it and root as soon as you received it? I did not and initially I had no sprint branding but as I was messing around with the phone it starting an update. Phone rebooted as if it had taken an ota. Does your phone show the sprint logo when booting? Mine initially didn't but after the reboot it does a now.

Yea I heard that the phone is completely HTC Stock at the time of purchase it's not till after it's been activated on sprints network that it then pulls down or loads their software on it. When I got mine from radioshack and the guy turned it on it had no sprint boot or apps then it went to a boatloader like screen and updated and then it boot with sprint animation and sprint apps. Was your box branded at all?

I can confirm this is exactly what happened in my case. I bought the sucka full price from sprint.com. Got it, booted up, no sprint splash screen. As I was setting up the device, I received an OTA which then rebooted the phone. I then saw the Sprint splash screen.
This may also explain why I had the calculator on the device...
I have the same here, I have sprint boot animation and voice mail, that's it. And operator is htc, everything has been working flawless, so a bit of a plus missing bloatware. Is yours having issues?

They also confirmed that it will be available on both LTE and standard 3G plans here in the UK, they will also be offering the phone on pay as you go contracts at a starting price of £230 for 16GB and £250 for 32GB. I know its not much info but it is confirmed which is nice. Should be able to get hands on with this phone very soon!

Usually I would agree but ive tried four reps now and three of the four all said the 28th, unfortunately no more comments on pricing.
Uk prices are completely false.
If it's out on the 28th in the UK, I wonder if that means it'll be out in the US sooner

Pretty true actually The nexus 5 is by far the most leaked android smartphone, with leaks from official partners and Google! Google was the first to leak the nexus 5, in there introduction video of android 4.4, which has now been removed from youtube. Later, about 2 days, KitKat's official FaceBook page added a comment on a post confirming android 4.4. Then Qualcomm confirmed some hardware specs of the Nexus 5, followed by a video of the nexus 5 running android 4.4 (also removed). And just yesterday, Google accidentally post the nexus 5 on there site, which seems a little odd
Honestly, I have a conspiracy that Google is just setting up the android world, and at the Google I/O event (Google's release party) release a totally different phone and a new android 4.4 UI:laugh:

What about the FCC certifications? Even if it was red herring, wouldn't we get see some other phone get approval? Do you think Google orchestrated the whole gub'ment shutdown so that they could sneak in a phone for approval and not have the FCC leak it since they were shutdown?

Since when do we get official release dates from EE reps, whoever the heck that is.
They should not allow any more new threads to be made in this section until Google officially announces it. These confirmation threads have gotten to be a joke.

Sprint Is Onto Us (Only Logical Explanation)

Ok guys, I'm an avid tether user. I've been tethering my ass off since I'm blanketed in LTE, but as of late I've run into a problem. I noticed on Ecliptic Sense 5.5 that while tethering, the data connection would drop constantly. I was on OMJ Sense 5.5 before and it didn't used to happen. I thought it was just an Ecliptic Rom error so I clean flashed OMJ Sense 5.5 only to notice tbd issue is now there! Someone then said that ports are known to do this so I decided to flash Tranquil 4.3 only to notice... THE ISSUE IS THERE ALSO! I think Sprint is doing this as a preventive measure to prevent tethering. They already blocked WiFi tether somehow and have now sniffed out our script for native tether. Can someone smarter than me (@FrozenRiff) hopefully elaborate on this?
I need to kill some people in GTA V really bad right now!

My tethering works just fine, but I don't abuse it like so many people do.If your using it to tether a console, then get a wired connection. Who would want to tether a console or rely on it for primary internet?

If the terms of your contract say otherwise, then it's not technically your choice...just sayin'.
Also, are you sure they're not just doing tower maintenance or something? Not saying that's the reason, but just tossing that out there.

No because data doesn't drop UNLESS I'm using tether. Take a look at this logcat here. I don't know how to read them, but I uploaded this one for the smarter people

I haven't come across this with sprint, but with VZW (i'm still on unlimited data) once I would get over 30GB no matter which tether method I tried, it would always disable data, then enable over and over. Once I turned off tether it would work fine. Sounds similar, I never found a fix and it wouldn't work properly until the next billing cycle when my data counter reset to 0.
That's what mine does. Do you think that's what's going on? It never drops when not using tether

I have a different phone on vzw so it's not device specific apparently. This sucks, I'm moving to a Sprint LTE area next month and planned on making up for all this 3g nonsense lol

Yeah exactly what I was thinking as well, native tethering would connect my laptop on the road but no internet connection, but I could browse on my phone. Used wifi tether and worked perfectly...think they're figuring it out, on OMJ sense 5 ROM.
So you are stealing from a service that legit people pay for and when it stops for you you complain?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Sprint is the one stealing. Remember the premier benefits? Every year they seem to take more from long term customers and reward new ones instead. Their false LTE coverage map is a joke as well. The ones knowledgeable enough to enjoy the benefit of something that should be offered anyway are perhaps just trying to get their money's Worth out of their service.
Though you probably already have this number saved in your phone since you support them so much, here is sprint's number. You can call them and complain about us there since you won't change any of our minds here.

I'm up to 3GB of force roam data so far too. Screw ETFs.
LMFAO when did people start having a gun pointed to their heads to get a smartphone on Sprint? Anyone who is unhappy should have left in June or July when Sprint changed the contracts and ETF's were temporarily waived

Not everyone knew they could get out ETF free during that time or sprint would have lost many thousands more customers. The ones that did had to fight for a while to get out. Force roam is pretty easy though.

Eh, getting rid of Sprint without ETF is as easy enough with a PRL change. Roam on VZW long enough and they boot ya.
As far as tethering/data goes, try an AOSP rom, CM10.2 or whatever floats your boat. I have a ONE on both Sprint and VZW (One's business, one's personal) and my crybaby boss set a 2gb cap on my VZW line. Needless to say, the cap doesn't ever kick in on AOSP, but on any stock-based rom (Sense) the data cuts out. Tethering on AOSP is pretty solid also.
Sprint is awful with their false 4g map.... worst 3g speeds i've ever seen in my life. It's atrocious even in MAJOR metropolitan areas.

I need to kill some people in GTA V really bad right now!

Having some problems lately myself tethering on CM10-seemingly out of nowhere. Not ready to point the finger at sprint yet but it's on my radar and ruined a night of gaming for myself as well.

Complaining that sprint blocked "breach of contract" tethering on my hacked phone - priceless

[Conspiracy Theory] - VZN "so called leak"

I'm a firm believer that VZN and LG both couldn't get figure out a method to properly secure KK. I think the final OTA will have some method to ruin someone's day. My opinion, VZN is having fits over the old bootstack booting the ROM. I also figure they wanted the root method from ioroot to try to close it as well. Talk amongst yourselves ?
I just can't buy that there was an accidental slip up by both companies. Seems they setup a situation and decompile everything the devs post.

Maybe we actually do have a friend inside vzw. Since somehow every phone leaks or finds some miraculous method

Definitely a possible... Tho our devs have skills that border on the magical, and the power of collective knowledge is a wonderful thing haha.
But as far as VZW's predicament, I have no doubt that someone watches these forums, and curses over the extra dollars they'll have to spend on keeping their big red fingers locked tightly around our phones. As to whether it actually delays their official OTA, I'm sure they have deadlines to meet (esp. where the bloatware vendors are concerned), but it would be anyone's guess.
I'm just thrilled we have these leaks period. Even if the official OTA seals up security holes, this leak means a big boost to VS980 custom development!
The new KK leak seems odd, especially when some of its not even working correctly. I'm kinda stuck now. Device can get into Download mode but it just locks there.

Yea and how big red and lg both accidently leaked the rom and kernel.

You ever think maybe they release it so devices get bricked and they gotta pay for new ones?
Well, if we're tossing out ideas...what if it got leaked so vzw could track who has 4.4 installed? Then they can red flag the rooters.
Today, I called to get a replacement. Speaker stoped working... she asked me if it was the original one I bought. I said Ya, then asked if I traded it or rooted it. I was Like, root? Lol...anyways, something on her end was flagging the phone. Of course, at the time of calling my phone was 100% stock. But I DID have 4.4 installed..replacement is in its way but still..more complicated then I expected

I don't really believe it, but I've seen some say VZW knows what apps you've installed. I saw a user once say they told him exactly what root apps he currently had. If that's true, some root app you've installed at some point may have flagged it. Or she was a liar. Lol. To be honest...once it was confirmed that you could downgrade and keep Loki on the other variants, I'm surprised LG didn't pull the Sprint rollout.
When the KK kernel source was "accidentally" leaked early after the devs were having problems with trying to create a zip rom from the KK leak and needed that info, that's is when my eyebrows were raised....lol. I was like, that's too much of a coincident. Somebody" was reading and listening to our cries....lmao. Nevertheless, thank you to whoever it was.

Lol, well she was definitely not lying. I didn't want to pry to much on what the issue was. Playing ignorant is sometimes the best rout but my guess is the Mac ids or sns from the day I bought the phone to now changed. She just kept saying "something is preventing me from sending you a replacement, are you sure you didn't trade phones with a friend or something?"

Serial number is hardware level. Not possible unless you actually were swapped. They don't check it until old one is sent back, which is why you are given a purchase clause on returns. I'll assume your account was a bit jacked up if she wasn't lying, otherwise, liar.
Maybe Verizon wanted to wait for the knock code update to release KK instead of releasing it and then putting out another update right away for knock code.

You said in the other thread that you wiped your Rom in recovery,not really conspiracy related just an accidental goof on your part.happens to the best of us.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
I don't know if it was necessarily a leak; I pulled it off their servers and published the link here one xda like a week back. It took us a few days but @xdabbeb found a way to trick our devices into taking that OTA. One thing I find suspicious is that it hasn't been taken down yet, which means it *might* be our official, it just hasn't had the green light yet. Also, the kernel source is still alive (direct link download) it just has the link removed.
Agreed. At the very least I think it was intended to be the official release. Whether they're holding off on pushing it to everyone because of a last minute issue they found or internal delays is anyone's guess. I tend to believe it's the latter.

Liar? About what lol what is there to lie about. It was just an interesting conversation that kind of applied to this thread. And by the way, when I said serial number I was referring to the IMEI which, like the mac address is supposed to be unchangeable and yet there have been cases where they changed. But like I said, I don't know what the issue was. And obviously wasn't that big of a deal because my new phone is on its way

When I quit working for VZW a couple years ago, the systems we used listed all the software/update/PRL version info of the software you had installed on your phone. It seemed that a lot of that info was based on the updates your phone pulled from the servers, and I never saw anything that actually indicated root status. However, they are constantly updating their capabilities so I wouldn't put it past em. I am of the opinion that most manufacturers don't check all that closely for root, at least if the phone is on a stock rom. I have never actually heard or read online of a VZW customer whose phone got rejected purely because it was rooted.

I don't think it was rooting but maybe my update status. Example, my warranty date on the phone 2/4/2014. This is located in hardware information, hardware not software. I'll assume the warranty date is assigned the day you buy your phone. Now, it's changed. Point is, if that's changed what else could have changed

Sprint Nexus 5 4.4.3 update(not yet)

I'm posting this for us sprint user's.I feel it important since we are waiting for specific band's to be enabled for spark to work.I've already installed the factory img from Google and no spark.I contacted sprint and was told it was Google working on our Sprint specific 4.4.3 update.Anyway can someone when they get the ota can you let me/us sprint user's now.Maybe I or one of us can can walk you through making it into a flash able zip.Thank you.
There is no Sprint specific OTA, everyone gets the same update regardless of what carrier they are on. The Sprint Spark update is already in the existing update, I sideloaded the OTA and it enabled the spark bands.
You're just not a Spark tower.
What are you talking about?
There is no sprint specific update.
If spark is the only concern, I've been using spark for last few months with the .15 radio.... Without 4.4.3. However if u flashed any 4.4.3 ROM u should have spark. U might not b in the spark enabled area.

I was in Orlando today,actually almost where Tampa as well and nothing.I was under the impression the update would enable those band's.
While my buddy on his g2 gets his nice shiny icon spinning wtf.
I am running stock. 4.4.3 I side loaded when it was available.looking foward to be able to test it on my trip today.Truth is I got worse singal than before.Oh well.never mind and thanks for the replies.
Wait I beg to differ,I read from A.P on twitter Sprint will specificly be sending out a update ending 6/9 for those band's to be enabled for us less fortunate cdma user's.

Sprint says that the Nexus 5 update will be rolling out until June 9th which means that it could take a little less than a week for the 90MB update to land for Nexus 5 owners around the U.S. and around the world. Sprint also says that the update will enable Sprint Spark band 26 and band 41 for its Nexus 5 users.
I will link the page in a second.http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/06/03/nexus-5-android-4-4-3-kitkat-update-now-available/ scroll down and you will see what am talking about?

My bands are all enabled with 4.4.3 but I had enabled them previously. You guys are saying this update is not enabling all band?
There's no specific update for Sprint. 4.4.3 and it's new radio enabled all the sprint radios.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
This update enables all bands. I know cuz I reset my data by dialing *#*#72786#*#* before taking the OTA and only band 25 was enabled. Then after the OTA all bands showed as enabled... Notice the band 41 I'm now connected to???

Priority is listed now as 1,1,1. You can change it to allow band 41 to be number 1, but you'd still most likely connect to 25.

It is the same update. Nothing carrier specific. The Sprint site says that the OTA is rolling out until June 9. So anywhere between now and then it will be released via OTA if you havent already sideloaded it. I read the tweet, it says the Nexus 5 OTA, not Sprint Nexus 5 OTA, is rolling out in batches until June 9. T-Mobile said the same thing. If you go the the Sprint support site for the Nexus 5.. same build KTU84M is listed.

Sorry but you are wrong. Sprint is just posting the OTA schedule for 4.4.3. What enables spark is the radio update included in 4.4.3. There is no way for Sprint to update that remotely since they have no control over OTA updates for Nexus 5 phones.
