In several recent HTC phones they have the ability to receive ant+ sensory inputs for athletic devices. This was publicly shown in the 2010 Tour de France when the HTC team used modified HTC Legend (Hero) to transmit in realtime their telemetry data to the internet. For some crazy reason HTC is wanting feedback about whether they should or shouldn't enable this functionality in a firmware update for their devices. Please sign this partition if you would like to see HTC enable ant+ on their current and future devices. (Note not all devices cary the Texas Instrument WiLink 6 chip required for this feature set)

Seeing 500 signatures on this petition makes me think back to watching that Tour de France telemetry data in real time. It is incredible to see so many of you who also want HTC to unlock the full potential of these devices.

I really need this feature for my own training rides since I already know the hardware is sitting idle in our pockets. Please push this link out to your cycling groups and tech circles so we hit the 500 mark before we send this to the HTC leadership team.

Just bought a Garmin 310 XT but can't connect to it, that's a darn shame if the chips are right there... HTC M8

It's unbelievable that I'm having to root and s-off my phone just to be able to use the ant+. If it has the hardware which I paid for Id like to be able to use it! Htc please think of people who buy your stuff!

It would be of big benefit to enable ANT+ capabilities into HTC mobile phones, every other phone manufacturer is enabling and with the surge in ANT+ monitors for fitness usage will only increase.

HTC needs to get onboard with ANT+ connectivity. The Galaxy S4/S5 and iPhones already support it, and it's a potential dealbreaker for fitness-minded folks. Com'on HTC, unlock your ANT+ antenna, which is rumored to already be on the device.

Please enable ANT+ ! htc's support of cycling is why I started buying htc phones. It's incredibly frustrating that I can't use my htc phone to pair with my ANT+ devices on the bike!

Dave Smart

HTC one m8 user, very disappointing that ant+ is not enabled, will be going back to samsung when my contract is up unless htc can sort this out.

HTC M9

Doug Booth

Please and Thanks!

M8 user, forth HTC device. I run and have a heart disease. Need to use heart rate monitor. I don't understand why a high end phone that has Ant+ technology built in is not able to use it... Please don't make me switch to other phones brands.

Want to use with ANT+ cycling gear.

Am a great fun of the HTC brand but I feel a bit sceptical about HTC of recent due to the following : 1 - am a cyclist and with the great explosion with ant+ in the sport most of my fellow friends have ended up getting a Sony or sumsang device as this can easily connect to heart rate monitor , power monitor and Candace monitor , how as an HTC fun this does not apply especially if one wants to to do some indoor training before or after work. 2- the fact that I have an M8s does not give me much especially when sumsang and Sony offer ant+ on there much cheaper models considering you can get a cheaper Sumsang or Sony running the latest android with ant plus capabilities does not help the fact that my phone does not have it for a much higher price. Came on HTC we are loyal to you give us a reason to stay loyal

I have m8 and very disappointed with non availability of ANT+ without any proper reason. This will definitely not go in HTC's favor. Please enable it so that we will stick to HTC brand.

Please enable support, it's a very easy win for your device.

Marlon Santos

Freedom to the consumer!

Jos Veldscholte

Any high-end mobile phone should have ANT+ enabled! Especially if the hardware is capable.

Ant+ and activate the installed FM chip!
