My HTC ONE Journey

[skinnylegs]

Finally got my update!

EDIT: I think this is just the AT&T update.

It says 5.0.569008

Yep so as PeterG2 says. All the fixes except camera update.

Its still got the capacitive button fixes, general performance and volume / boom sound fixes.

We're not quite sure why they didn't update the camera on your software update compared to some of us in other 'global regions'....

Maybe saving that for the 4.2.2 bigger update due soon..

I'm using the device with a clear skin on the back, and a generic static screen protector on front. The skin protector is barely noticeable, and I love it:

Where did you get the clear skin from?

Is it liquid or dry application?

Liquid, but it's very easy with the One since it's fairly "flat."

I put a zagg shield on the back of mine. A spigen SGP ultra crystal on the front, and a special camera lens protector (like a screen protector fr camera lens that doesn't impact clarity).....

and yet I still put a case on ?

Ha. Gotta protect your baby.

I, personally, hate cases. I just need minimum protection from scratches, which is why I use skins. My front screen protector is also a generic static screen protector.

For times when I need heavy duty protecting (like if I have to toss my phone into a gym bag or something...) I use my trusty Etsy pouch.

Seems nice. Might pick one up. Still pondering whether to wait for the unlocked versions to come back in stock or simply get one from O2.

Good suggestion MRU. I really need to start using all the cloud services I've got for this purpose. Between Dropbox, Drive, etc, I've got like 130 gb of storage space.

Did you ever find a solution that works out for you?
I'm in the same boat as you with wife having an iphone and we send each other a lot of videos back and forth of our kids at sports events.
I was hoping to find an alternative cross platform messaging app that could send decent quality photos and videos.

Simple set up a Dropbox account that is shared between you. You upload a video or whatever else to Dropbox and she will be able to access it on her iPhone as soon as its uploaded, same for pictures, files etc..

Finally got my $100 rebate card from HTC (or Clover Wireless) in the mail.

Sweeeeet.

I found Drop Box to be rather slow so I settled on Ravid. Pristine video quality.

I'll probably go the route of setting up a shared dropbox account. There's no way I could get her to use something like Hangouts because she's so married to the SMS app on her iPhone.

You know what would be ideal? If Apple would do something like Google or BlackBerry and bring iMessage to other platforms. That would be perfect. But I'm sure that will never happen.

Not gonna happen.

I just picked one up.....you keep pushing them and it seems like the great solution for someone who's not big on cases but wants some protection every now and then
