[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
So I went to get my one v replaced and apparently the HTC guys had like 4 more units with defections! HTC themselves said that many pieces were defected and such problems wouldn't be solved till another 2 months or so and they suggested me to get a new device. So here I am with a sensation xe after replacing 2 one v devices! Regardless, I'd still say one v was an awesome lil guy and I'd still recommened..
[HTC One V] violentgoomba:
what was wrong with your one v?
[HTC One V] phobos512:
I'm also curious to know the issue. My girlfriend loves her V. Hasn't had any trouble with it.
[HTC One V] Android311:
Sometimes HTC has that happen, I had 3 defective wildfire s when it first came out, so its probaly just a bug, give it a month or two and the phones will be fine
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
This sounds unlikely to me. If this were true I think it would be all over the internet.

BTW, I've seen nothing wrong with my unit. I'm really enjoying it.
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
well guys, just cuz it happens to me doesn't mean you all are unlucky :)

there were no issues with the performance, but bugs with the physical aspects of the phone. Like leakage of light from micro usb, from under the screen beneath the capacitive buttons and also bands of light on the display. Like I said, I replaced the phone 2 times already and the second unit turned out to be even more defected, and it's nearly impossible for me to go get a newer unit every time so yeah :P

I'm happy with the decision though! loving my XE! :D

One V is still awesome! THAT PHONE HAS MY RESPECT! \\m//
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
and yeah another thing was the grip. it would lose signal when held in certain positions! one minute it loses signal, the next minute i keep it on a table by it's own, full strength.
[HTC One V] handisetyadi:
defective ?

i had htc desire and it always reboot whenever it gets overheat. I sent it to service it took 4 months already and i dont know what happens with it .
[HTC One V] RaceAce:
Just received by HTC One V

It is also defective.

- The screen has a yellow line on the top and the bottom

- The touch screen is not working in certain places.

This sucks. I know atleast one other person with the same problem.
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
Now that you mention this, I see it on my phone too, but it's so hard to notice that don't see why this is a big deal.

I'm not getting this at all.

This is not a defect per se but a design decision. I don't notice it when talking but I do on the edge of wifi range. Not seemingly worse than my tablet or laptop.

Or perhaps not as picky given that this is a budget device. I'm quite pleased with it for what I paid. My only complaint is no CWM Recovery yet. :)

BTW, where I live, the Sensation XP costs $100 more that the One V. My expectations would certainly be higher with that phone.
[HTC One V] bahubali67:
My device heats a lot during charging. Is that big issue???

Sent from my HTC One V
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
i'm not able to really quite explain what i meant by bands of light. you must have checked out the other thread about the yellow spots right? yeah quite similar to those.

i wouldn't say picky, but when htc themselves admit to their customers that they screwed up with some stuff, i'd rather go get something more solid and stable. that's just me though :D
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
Heat isn't good for it, but it's common for lith ion batteries to get hot when charging. My Galaxy Tab 8.9 gets pretty hot too. Haven't checked the One V yet.
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
well i had a bit of heating as well, but not a lot. probably cuz of the body that it would conduct a bit of heat, i guess it's not a big issue unless yours is pretty much sizzling :P xD
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
That to me is the only realistic problem, which my phone doesn't have at all.

The light leak is really no big deal. Neither is the signal strength issue. Side-by-side with my Wildfire S the One V always has equal or better signal and I've never dropped a call with the Wildfire here in Cambodia or Thailand. Where you dropping calls?
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
My earlier unit didn't have it at all but this one did. And the light leak is intensr, u can see it very very clearly, coming from sort of under the screen, even in normal view. I'd post a to show what I really mean but don't have it anymore now..
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
gsmarena.com posted their review a couple days ago and had quite the opposite experience:

I don't notice this either, and as I said before, it's signal reception is better than my Wildfire S so I'm quite happy. The WFS has never dropped a call and I doubt my One V will either.
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
yeah well like i said, maybe it's just my tough luck, right? hey, don't get me wrong with the issues, i absolutely love the One V! :D
[HTC One V] bharat.utd:
Hello can someone please help me... Whenever I am calling or disconnecting the phone ... The phone starts blinking with a red background also there are some yellow spots on the screen... Can I get it replaced??
[HTC One V] Android311:
Get a new one if its underwarranty
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
Yeah you can get yourself a new unit. For where I live, I could get mine replaced within 15 days from the billing date.
[HTC One V] chamala2000:
HTC quality is a pure ****.

I will not buy another HTC product.
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
Nah man I wouldn't say it's **** cuz the One V, even if entry level, is a very solid phone. It feels like you're holding something. The sensation I own now is pretty much solid and feels quite luxurious too. A few bugs here and there is kinda normal for every other company. You know what they say.. **** happens! :p
[HTC One V] jagannn:
Ove V big loss for HTC

I replaced 3 One V within 5 days:o, first 2 mobiles went dead suddenly and it dint gets bootup or even i cant charge it. the 3rd mobile had a big yellow spot, so i have replaced all and bought Xperia. Even though One V is an awesome phone. :)

I saw some ppls with One V with different issues. so i decided to move to Sony.

think twice before you buy One V
[HTC One V] PhoenixAG:
From what I can see, a lot of people in India are replacing their One Vs.

I am also in India (New Delhi) and am very keen to buy the One V. However, it is not available in ready stock in most places but my usual guy says he can get it in a day.

I have checked out the competition and really still like the One V.

Such a dilemma! :(
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
I had the very same thought. I've not had a problem with mine since day one and I got it in Cambodia.

Despite what the trolls say about HTC, this is a great, high quality phone. I'm really pleased with it. Too bad India got a bad batch of them. :( Such things happen to every manufacturer, especially at launch. Wait a little while and you'll get a good one. ;)
[HTC One V] PhoenixAG:
Yeah now I'm confused to get one from here or get one from Thailand. Because im going there in a few days.
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
From you signature, it looks like you're desperate for another device :eek:

Seriously, if you buy a phone in Thailand and have problems, getting warranty service might be a little harder because you can't return it to the retailer.
[HTC One V] .xxx.:
Which xperia did you go for? Because I'm confused between xperia neo v and HTC one v. But after going through this thread, it seems that it is not legit to go for one v in India, where I live :-/
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
Dude if you can wait until htc sorts everything out, then I'd personally say wait and get the One V. They're both the same price, but One V is kinda newer tech and performance wise a very good choice for a single core.
[HTC One V] .xxx.:
Hmm. I was going to buy a phone this week itself. Will be going for HTC one v and if it comes out to be a failure like it has been mentioned in this thread, I might go for its replacement.
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
Otherwise problems I've had may not be that big of a deal for many others, so maybe even if you do have a bug, you may just find it to be nothing at all.

Regardless, the phone's great! :D
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
my One V shows 'No Service' whenever I pick up the phone..
[HTC One V] Sidewindr:
Yeah but the OneV in Thailand is only 9,900THB !!.. :D It will have an asia rom on it however.. My girlfriend has had hers for 4 weeks now and loves it, 0 issues/problems..
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
Just think it over, cuz you wouldn't wanna save money and end up running one end to another if something turns out to be faulty. Time is precious! :p

Good luck!
[HTC One V] PhoenixAG:
Thanks guys. I ended up getting a Galaxy Nexus, which, admittedly, is not in the same price range as the One V but I am happy! :)
[HTC One X] terrycsw0117:
After I failed to update ARHD from 2.1 to 3.0, the phone could not normally start and keep staying in the "HTC, quiet brilliant" screen

Then, I wanted to flash back the stock rom to upgrade through OTA first

I plug my phone to my PC but the update said the phone need to have over 30% battery to start

However, every time I charge my phone, it automaically power on and consume power.

The battery never can be charged to over 30%

When I power down through bootloader, my phone could not be charged.

Plug the USB again, it power on again:mad:

How can I charge the phone?????:confused:

Or how can I push the ARHD 2.1 to my phone storage through bootloader so to start the phone normally??

Sorry for my very bad english
[HTC One X] jedi5diah:
are you able to boot normally and use the phone? boot normally and charge.

also use wall charger and not usb.
[HTC One X] terrycsw0117:
i am not able to boot normally, the screen keeps on and also i am using the wall charger

but it still can not charge to over 30% battery

OMG!
[HTC One X] Setsuna666:
The problem you had (stuck at the HTC Logo) was not critical and could be solve by typing the command from your computer while your phone is in fastboot: fastboot erase cache

In your current state here's what I would do:

1. If you re-locked you bootloader (if not go to step 2)

1.1 Unlock with the same Unlock_code.bin file provided by HTC by following this link: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/

1.2 Go to step 5 (If your phone is still not booting after clearing fastboot cache, then follow the rest of the guide)

2. If the bootloader is unlocked and you don't have a custom recovery

2.1 - Download a Custom Recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

2.2 - Then flash it with the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img

3. If you have a custom rom on SD Card or nandroid backup (If not, go to step 4)

3.1 Reboot in recovery

If your still in fastboot, choose "Reboot Bootloader" and then go into recovery

3.2 Restore a Nandroid Backup or Flash Custom Rom

3.3 Reboot and go into fastboot

3.4 Go to step 5

4. If you don't have custom rom on SD Card or Nandroid backup

4.1 Download a custom ROM from here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1536

4.2 Follow these steps in order to flash the ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23530250&postcount=3

4.3 Go to step 5

5. Erase cache in fastboot

5.1 If your phone is off, hold the power button + volume down

5.2 Choose fastboot from bootloader

5.3 Connect the phone to your computer

5.4 On computer type: fastboot erase cache

5.5 Choose "Reboot" in fastboot menu

If you absolutely want to restore to original HTC ROM, you will have to do the step above and then the following:

- Flash ARHD 2.1 boot image and ROM.

- Boot your phone and confirm that you are on ARHD 2.1 with the correct boot image

- charge you phone

- flash stock recovery

- relock bootloader

- Run 1.26 RUU

- Check for OTA Update in About Phone Menu and apply update

Hope this help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ebaum1:
Well, i have done it!!

I have a nice half inch long scratch in my screen. And its not just a scuff, I mean a scratch you can feel!!

Personally I think the whole gorilla glass is a scheme to make you think you have a better product.

I never put anything remotely rough in my pocket with my phone, never set it on the screen, drop it ...blah blah blah. Some how some way I woke up today and found a scratch!! It was nice while it lasted, but I guess it has officially been "broken" in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
should've had one of these screen protectors:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005P15G8K/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nutpants:
Even if they came out with some crazy diamond hard screen,I would still use a screen protector.it's just insurance.

Not spell checked nor checked for grammar on my genetic phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Always use a screen protector and a TPU if you value your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BK553:
Gorilla glass resists breakage and is thinner than comparable-strength traditional glass. Nothing is scratch-proof.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Thats what I use. Dropped my phone for the first time today and not a scratch or dent. I wasn't worried though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
I used to be one to always use a case and screen protector, but when I had the Evo3d the screen protector ruined the 3d so I kept it off.

I liked the feel of the glass better so I left it off my E4GT, and one day I cleaned the screen and created a inch long scratch. I am assuming there was a piece of dirt on the screen cleaning cloth I always use.

The gorilla glass is to help with broken screens (think how many iphones have broken glass), not scratches. It bothers the crap out of me. I will be an invisashield customer again on my next phone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Gorilla Glass is Unbreakable,

Unscratchable, Unbreakable. Undeformable, Unsmudgeable and Indestructible!!

Jk about the above :-D

I wrote a post about this topic with links.

Will find it later on.

Gorilla Glass is Resistant to scratches, pits, chips, breaks, etc. under certain conditions, where glass would not be.

Under other conditions, hardly any material which can be used for the screen of a Smartphone screen is Impervious to the above, at this time.

With the above being said, I recently noticed faint, light scratches when viewing my E4GT under certain Sun angles.

I applied a screen protector a short while ago to lessen the risks of deeper scratches, etc.

I think the issues are:

- many believe Gorilla Glass is Impervious to damage.

- advertisement and spec sheets are not as clear as they could be regarding the real world properties of Gorilla Glass.

Oh, Be Careful where there is SAND, aka THE BEACH ;-)

Sand WILL Scratch GG, as that is Etched in Stone lol! Sand has a Hardness of approx. '7' on the Mohs Hardness Scale.

GG, I believe is '6-6.5,' which is slightly Harder than glass. Sand, which are Quartz particles, are a 7 in hardness, hence sand will scratch the crap outta your screen!

Screen Protecters are approx. 3-3.5

in Hardness I believe, but you can easily (subjective) replace them.

Btw, dust in the air contains quartz particles also.

Googling Corning Gorilla Glass will give you a better idea of it's properties.

I found it very informative.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
He speaks the truth about sand!!! Unfortunately.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ebaum1:
Yeah..maybe a sand issue...I was in Florida over the weekend.

Lesson learned...I do like the feel of the bare glass, but may have to invest in a screen protector for the future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
In the past, I've tried the following screen protectors:

1) Boxwave

2) Zagg InvisibleSHIELD

3) Steinheil Crystal Clear

I am currently using #3, and like it the best.

2 to a pack.

I usually screw up the first application with any protector, so having 2 is a plus.

Very transparent. Feel is very smooth.

Finger gliding is Excellent.

Goes on Dry.

Scratch resistance is pretty good. Actually very good. But remember the MOHs Hardness Scale examples I previously listed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
#3 here also, love it, no bubbles at all, great stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
Thats what I have on my screen! Stienheil :O!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spider415:
I've dropped my phone numerous times from a good distance but one day I had it in my back pocket (not the first time) and sat down. When I pulled my phone out it had a cracked screen -__-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] laufine:
I also have some scratches on my device. Gorilla is not diamond. But I still don't use screen protector, after 2 years, maybe I upgrade another phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Like the poster on the first page said..the grains of sand will get you if you aren't careful. I got a little scratch on my Nexus that way and I went right out and got a screen protector for my Epic Touch. I definitely prefer the feel of bare screen but a scratch really irritates me

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:
Scratches annoy the crap out of me. I've only had this phone for like two months and I'm on my fifth screen protector. Going to try the steinhall one next. How does that lotus glass compare to gorilla as far as scratch resistance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Lotus Glass is called Corning Gorilla Glass 2. I believe Lotus Glass was the speculated name given prior to it officially becoming available. I'm unsure, if any, what devices are currently using it.

I've read on the Corning site that is has the same scratch, break resistant,etc. properties, but that it can be made up to 20% thinner, and keep the same strength and properties as the original Gorilla Glass.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rican408:
i dropped my phone down some tile stairs. it must have had about 15 contacts and almost slid from the second floor to the first floor.... only had bumps on the bezel and slight scratches on the screen. not noticeable when the screen was on... very durable i must say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
Personally I just can't bring myself to use a screen protector or case. Part of the reason I picked this phone was because of it's profile. The idea of hiding it away in a bulky case and noticeable screen protector makes me cringe.

I don't find it too hard to be careful with my phone. I bought my E4GT at release and I've never dropped it or sat on it and there are no scratches on the screen save for one tiny, faint one that I can only see if the screen is off and the light hits it just right.

Granted people with certain lifestyles can't get away with this. My dad is a mechanic and if it weren't in a case he'd destroy his phone inside a week. Luckily I'm practically a hermit with my face buried in textbooks all day long...

PS I forgot, I do keep a TPU case laying around for traveling. I haven't used it yet, but if I were going somewhere potentially hazardous to my phone I would.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Same here cant even tell its there. Already have a scratch on my protector after just a few weeks Better than the screen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rican408:
i feel the same way. love to make fun of iphone owners talking about how thin it is, and how it feels. then they throw a GIANT ugly PLASTIC case on it. how does it look and feel now? then still talk **** about samsungs "CHEAP" plastic feel. makes me laugh. btw ive always worked in the field and my phone survives just fine minus that one hicup. it was because i had it out and almost slipped on the stairs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Never use a screen protector and probably never will. I hate the feel of it. I only use a rubber case.

I take care of my phone, no scratches and I've had this phone since launch.

It burns when I Tapatalk...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
I noticed small surface scratches when i first got my phone after I immediatley after.

But i will tell you I have smashed staplers ,keys, on the counter pretty much everything we could here in the store and not even a surface scratch! much impressed!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ludrose:
I hate the discoloration from oil on my hands. I'm somewhat ocd when it comes to these types of things
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
You should invest in a tinfoil hat.

Your phone didn't just grow a scratch overnight, something scratched it.

I've taken a razor blade to mine and it didn't get scratched, I pressed decently hard too.

One thing that will always **** up your screen if it scratches it is sand. Throw a phone into a pocket with a bit of sand in it and the scratch-free screen is a goner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fenixjn:
Bite the pillow? :D

In a more serious note, I used to have the zagg shield. While it did do a nice job of protecting my phone from my keys in my pocket I just couldn't stand the rubbery feeling that I'd get when swiping my fingers on the screen. I used an ammonia-free glass cleaner to restore the smoothness on it but it would last a week or so. So far I have been running w/o one and it survived my keys no problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
im not understanding the logic behind this. by "profile", do you mean viewing it from the side and seeing how thin it is? if so, i can understand not wanting a bulky case, but a screen protector only adds like 1/50th of a mm of thickness. absolutely impossible to notice.

if by "profile" you really mean "aesthetics" and dont like your screen being clouded by a screen protector, then still there's nothing to be worried about since screen protectors are crystal clear and hard to be seen anyways unless you're trying to look for the edges of the screen protector run on sentences. a phone is not considered "hidden" behind a screen protector. the pay-off of having a screen protector protect against dirt scratches, or your keys in your pocket, or anything unintentionally done in human error (because you are human after all and prone to error) far exceeds the aesthetics of having a naked phone. when you do get that little, very conspicuous dirt scratch in the middle of your screen that is visible no matter how you look at your phone, you're going to wish you had spent that $10 on a nearly-invisible screen protector.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:
I think he was referring more to the case when he said profile, not the screen protector. But I could be wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
"Profile" was indeed in reference to the case, not the screen protector. Screen protectors bug me for their own reasons, namely being able to see the edges and the altered feel of swiping. I just prefer my phone unmolested.

Sure, I'm taking the risk of scratching it, but I'm sure as hell not putting my phone anywhere near my keys or in a dirty pocket. Assuming I upgrade 2 years from purchase I'm already 25% of the way there with no damage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I had the same reasoning regarding screen protectors, until I saw these fine scratches on my E4GT under certain angles in direct Sunlight. One scratch was an inch long. They weren't there the day before (they really were, but I didn't notice them until the Sun hit the screen at a certain angle.)

Coincidentally, I showed a friend of mine my device the day before , who owns a Galaxy Nexus. He was complaining about his Nexus, which included that he didn't have Gorilla Glass, and that the screen had gotten scratched, and that he put on a screen protector. I showed him my screen, which didn't have any scratches (didn't see them at the time)

The Steinheil screen protector is smooth as ice. It is a Fingerprint magnet though, which are easily wiped away. They make a fingerprint resistant protector, but it's not as crystal clear I believe.
