Be an HTC Beta Tester! Their accepting 500 ppl today!

I'm usually pretty open with my info, not a "black ops" theorist, but I passed on this one. They were awfully vague on what this was for, and it didn't seem like I was really getting any benefits or elite things to try.

From my perspective, it's not like when you got something good like when Gmail or Google Voice was by invitation only.

Yeah, I kind of questioned some of what they were asking for, but I figured what the hell... if I start getting all kinds of crazy phone-related spam I'll know where it came from though

Oh, and no OTA here... probably because I'm already on ICS

 

[mach1man]

ok so I have been messing around on the site since being accepted and I don't see this site being worth anything right now. There is no community to were we can talk and discuss issues and ideas. Guess its to new of a site

The new radio firmware actually does improve the phone, so you might want to try to get that flashed. It can be complicated though.

Right...but they did not say what...they were very vague in what that meant. Which is why I said they would "share stuff" with us. And since it seems to me they are accepting people from all over the world with all types of phones. I assume, whatever we are Beta testing will likely be compatible with most or all. Hence my guess at widtets, plugins, apps etc.

But my response was mostly directed at schimm...since he wondered just a post or two above mine...what they have in mind with this site.

Edit: They are up to 551 members...so maybe they have extended the invite limit.

Their up to seven hundred sixty something now.

 

[NightAngel79]

I'm ready to win that phone

 

[sleepingseason]

Only found out about this today - wish I'd got in in time to be accepted.

Oh well, I guess I can only hope that they re-open it some time in the not-too-distant future.

Today I filled out a survey they asked us to do on our five favorite sports. To watch and play. They do alot of surveying with this thing and not much more ATM.

 

[NightAngel79]

so anybody still using elevate for anything?

 

[zazan]

From my perspective this is a way to get info from us with very little in return. I also answered their latest group of questions and then was given the opportunity to comment on the HTC One line. All of them were very "me too" phones.

I can't see any reason to visit there at this point.

So I went to the access site and was only asked general info such as name email and gender and then told thanks we will let you know if we can accept you...was that it or did I do something wrong? Please help!

 

[schimm]

Basically you are signing up to be a free research/focus group subject for HTC. Totally useless to the user. I haven't checked in for months.

They have very small number of members. 2k last I checked

Completely disagree. They have given out beta apps, swag...

AND PHONES!

They are constantly giving away phones. I got the DROID DNA free for being an active member a week before it was officially announced.

Welcome to the site!

This thread is from 2 years ago unfortunately. To get in now you have to be invited by an existing member. Elevate very rarely opens up referrals, plus they did one month ago or so it may be a while until they let more people in.

Sorry!

Hey Night, I'm always in the HTC M7/M8 phone threads. Definitely a loyal follower of HTC since the HTC Touch, HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC ONE M7, HTC ONE M8. Let me know if they open up this opportunity again. I found a link on the XDA site but the code was bad. So I signed up and provided a synopsis of why I should become a member.

I really want to see HTC become #1.
