Half the issues are people complaining as usual. No issues here. If you want zero bug free you will wait for an update forever.
And if these were real issues then the news will across all tech blogs.

The lag when unlocking from the active notifications is a real bug. The 'fix' that people are posting here only works for a little while.

Hope we get this soon... Two New Features for Android 4.3 Leaked by HTC

Interesting read...
Wish we could just the .12 update. Seen all the before and after pics and they look great. It will be nice to get 4.3 though.
Hope the Developers are all over this.

We are on Sprint, so we'll be getting 4.3 about a week before 5.0 comes out.... With any luck.

Agreed. Two years ago I bought the Nexus S 4G from Sprint thinking I wouldn't have to rely on Sprint for OTA updates but I was wrong. OTA updates consistently came months after their GSM counterparts so I ended up rooting the device and installing CM and then Slim which in retrospect was the best decision I ever made while owning that phone. Hopefully as time goes by we will get more choice and variety in terms of custom roms for the ONE although with the Galaxy 4 shipping with 4.2.2 I have to imagine HTC will be sending out an update soon so it can better go head-to-head with its biggest competitor.
i dont think thats fair. When i had my S2 we always got the updates before any of the other carriers in the us.
I just got off the s2, updates sucked. Thankfully the guys here got rooted leaks for us. I think jellybean it's dropped a month ago. I'm really waiting on AOSP for this
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
Well to be fair. Sprint has been ahead of the game lately with some of their updates being before other US carriers.. Example: The damn Evo LTE got jelly bean months before the flagship One X on At&t.

OTAs on nexus devices shouldn't matter if you're on xda. The 4g got Roms just as fast as the gsm.

Not to mention, HTC already has Android 4.3 from Google, and they've been testing it. With as big of a Saving Grace this phone needs to be for HTC, I would assume they would get this out as quickly as possible. We'll see 4.2.2 soon, but I think we'll see 4.3 sooner than later.

No, certain members just happen to know someone who tests lets say Samsung's test builds for a certain device, so they have it sent to them by their source and then leak it. There's no leakedromsforsprintphoneblog.com or anything.

Hey its better than being on AT&T and getting it 4 months after 5.0 comes out.

4.3

Is anyone else kind of annoyed about these other phones that are skipping 4.2.2 and going straight to 4.3? I know there won't be any major differences but I feel like we bought the latest and greatest but are getting shafted. Maybe I'm being anal, I just find it hard to believe they will update us to 4.2.2 and then 6 months later send another out for 4.3. Maybe I'm wrong. Thoughts anyone?

You think so? I sure hope not. My retired evo is still getting (unofficial) updates. Hope the fun continues for longer then just next year.
I'm sure we will see 4.2.2 soon and I'm hoping we also get 4.3. The phone should handle it right?

I haven't seen any phones that are getting 4.3 other than pure Android phones, which already have 4.2.2...
Everything is still speculation.
And c'mon guys, the One came out not too long ago and you're already annoyed about updates. Geez.

I'm happy with 4.1 and bought my one not expecting a lot of updates. I like the finesse Sense gives the phone that AOSP always lacks. That's just me, other people like AOSP and really it's the wrong phone for that

I care less about 4.2 or 4.3. They are so minor..android has hit a plateau and I'm satisfied. It is sad that development overall has been mastered to a point where nothing happens anymore haha.

Yeah sure. The HTC One S was also supposed to get 4.2.2 according to an insider, but then HTC out and said no.
The S3 was also supposed to get 4.2.2 by the middle of this month. Well we didn't.
It's all rumors and stories until it actually happens.
Sent from my S3 on Sense 5 (you jelly?)
I really really like sense 5, I keep wanting to go to AOSP based Rom, but when I do I always End up missing certain things about sense, which is really weird cause I hated sense on my 3vo, and the more I think about it it's not a huge deal just wanted other people's opinion. And I suppose if I really wanted updates I could have gone with a nexus instead
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Like what was mentioned before, the new androids aren't too different. I mainly want the upgrade so we can get ports for all those roms that the GSM version has. Apparently that's the only thing stopping us...the lack of a CDMA 4.2 kernel

I had the 3d, but was rooted and was running the newest version, there was a lot of development for that phone so it was nice.
And I was really bummed out we didn't get the N4, and if we do get the N5 it'll be a tough choice to get rid of the One, cause I really do like sense 5...who knows time will tell

This is what I don't understand... If Apple can release updates bypassing carriers... Why can't Google? I'm asking this regarding SPRINT because Sprint dossnt force bloat. All their apps can be found on playstore except VVM, but I'm sure Sprint can just somehow get It to us

It's not the same thing. iOS is dominated by one manufacturer while in Android there are multiple manufactures involved.

Someone should leak 4.2.2.

So it is pretty clear to me that Sprint was sent 4.2.2 to start to test before the plug was pulled and they were told to wait for 4.3. You know it, I know it, Sprint knows it.
So while we wait for 4.3 I think that someone who knows someone's neighbor's sister's ex-boyfriend that babysits for a Sprint tester should do their best to get a hold of the unfinished 4.2.2 and release it to the masses.
Thank you and good day.

I'm gonna go ahead and go with, you know nothing about the process of which HTC and Sprint use to test together. I would say that they probably never got it, and Jason MacKenzie mentioned that they were skipping 4.2.2 long after the decision was officially made.
Wow, what a waste of a thread.
Ha plus there is a 4.2.2 Rom already... Rage

hawks 4.2.2 rom is awesome, I have no issues at all and in fact i find it very fast with great battery life. it is really well put together. I dont have 4g so I cant speak for that but everything else is working no problems.
Funny to see these threads like; "where is 4.2.2?" or "why have US Carriers not released 4.2.2?
With a couple of minutes on Google Search, 4.2 had below have Java Script security flaws that concerns Google; hence the reason they pushed 4.3 out quickly. Why would HTC US Carriers spend any time 4.2?

So basically, to satisfy your flashing fancy, you want someone to intentionally breach an organization's opsec and potentially put someone's job in danger? Nice.
You guys are really jaded and unnecessarily serious around here. Coming from an S2 and S3 I have seen tons of leaks on Sprint. Granted this is HTC and not Samsung, but still. There is plenty of reason to think that there is a 4.2.2 build specifically for Sprint somewhere out there.
There are ways to leak things and keep your job, apparently, or leaks would not exist.

So I just got this phone yesterday and I love it so far... My only question or concern is will it still get the updates as quick as the nexus... I noticed it was still on 4.2.2 and my Nexus tablet is on 4.3... That was my main selling point to buy the phone...

Not as quick as a Nexus. No phones or tablets get updates as quick as the Nexus line.
If that was the main selling point for you, I suggest you return it and wait for the Nexus 5.

Many people believe, since Google owns Motorola, that Motorola phone will get updates faster... Google has already stated that this is not true, they get no preferential treatment in regards to updates.
That being said, due to the limited bastardization of android on the moto x, it is fair to believe that this device has the potential to get updates quicker, whether that will play out as such, will be better known in the future.
But, the quick answer to your question is"no" this will not get updates as fast as a nexus device... Its not a nexus device. But it is understandable to believe that we will get updates more quickly than most other manufacturers devices on the market.

I will be happy if we hey an update in a reasonable amount of time... I guess that's a matter of opinion on what's a reasonable amount of time... I just traded in my HTC One XL for this phone so as long as I would get the updates faster than I did on that phone I will be happy... Also I was hoping to get support for this device for a longer period of time and keep receiving the updates... I just figured since it does not have a heavy ui like sense or touch wiz I would get updates quicker and supported longer... But I'm happy with the phone so I think I'm just going to keep it...

I'll believe it when the update hits my phone.
Doesn't matter to me. I just want to know what difference will it really make? Is this an update just to keep the users happy and make them feel like HTC got their back?
I'm not knocking them or anything, because I certainly don't see myself choosing another manufacturer any time soon...but why claim that 4.4.4 changes were baked into 4.4.3, then give it to use anyway?
5.0 is more worth the wait than that 4.4.4

We need to wait for a Sprint OTA.
Exactly,
Everyone its the firmware we need and also i can only speak for myself but i want a new radio too! the int rom is nice to have those new features but without the updated firmware and radios it really makes it not worth it.
I am sure the OTA will be here any day now. Fingers crossed
