You come to like it? No way. AMOLED put me off on my S2. Sure at start you enjoy the great contrast and deep blacks, but over time many things start to annoy you:

The phone has dirty, turquese whites this deteriorates my daily experience with the phone

Because organic light emitting diodes are fragile, they loose their light emitting power rapidly. Today I can't use the phone in the sun anymore. At all.

When I grabbed the one in the shop, I was like, what? Why did I put up with crappy OLED screen for so long? So, you may get used to AMOLED, yes, but after a while you find yourself craving neutral colors and just more brightness.

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

I agree with you BUT, imo, the admiration of having amoled screen is only in the beginning. In the long run, many issues may act up, ie screen burn in. And when you see someone who has an LCD screen phone next to yours, you will realize the inferiority of the amoled. Yes, amoled may be a battery saver screen, but in the end, what matters most is the satisfaction you can get in a screen, the more natural and realistic color, which you can get on an LCD screen..

Number ONE handset with TechRadar

Quick question for those lucky enough to own this lovely looking handset, seeing as HTC has said that HTC Sense is more streamlined and they no longer include HTC Locations; how much phone storage space is there ?
[One (M7) General] Eggcake:
Definitely. While my only AMOLED phones were the HTC Desire and SGS2 (for a short time), I also became to dislike AMOLED quite heavily. In the beginning, you love the colors and the deep blacks. But if you compare current AMOLEDs to current IPS, there is only one winner, in my opinion. And that's IPS, by a long shot. The ONLY thing speaking for AMOLED are the deeper blacks. NOTHING else. And the blacks of IPS displays are quite good as well. Sharper, better color reproduction, brighter, no aging....but yeah, AMOLED got deeper blacks and that's it :)

AMOLED gets better, but in my opinion it's still in "beta phase" ;)
[One (M7) General] catachresistant:
AMOLED only saves power on black/dark pixels.

It's less efficient on white/bright stuff. So that depends on your usage. If you surf the web much, well...

One thing I don't understand is the extreme blue tint of Samsung displays. You can spot them a mile away. It's really offputting. I hear they've fixed this for the GS4. I hope so.

[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
Any negative aspects of the HTC One camera will definitely be improved upon, remember this is a new tech for HTC, so software will still be quite immature. The often praised Lumia 920 had quite noisy day-light photos, when first launched, which required Nokia to update their firmware.
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
currently most reviewers dont notice the iso bug

that is why some are reporting noisy daylight photos
[One (M7) General] puremind:
Agree! Energy-efficient OLED is a myth promoted by Samsung but which is simply not true:

http://www.extremetech.com/computin...ech-independent-research-shows-he-has-a-point

At equal brightness (most are dimmer than their LCD counterparts) and equal screen size they consume more, which is why, as you said, browsing kills the battery those Samsung devices, even though they are calibrated to save battery.

When I tested the S2's display it was obvious the whole calibration was to push every bit of brightness while not killing battery. Also Apple said they did not want to use OLED because of battery consumption at higher brightness.

The technology still needs to improve to rival LCD screens in terms of power consumption relative to brightness and color accuracy, not to mention durability!

The inaccurate colors on AMOLED's are a result of trying to push brightness up without killing battery by adding more of the colors that produce the most luminance, so as long as OLED's energy efficiency at high stimulus remains poor, we won't see good colors on smartphones - or it will be a smartphone with poor battery performance.

[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Without anything on the phone there would only be around 26gb free so sense taking up 1gb not 8. Due to formatting there will never be full capacity free.
[One (M7) General] mchinand:
If the bug is that it's choosing a higher ISO than warranted in bright lighting conditions, then fixing it so it uses a lower ISO will produce an image with less noise (and similar brightness).

Are you guys aware that this forum is now infested with trolls?

This forum to remind everyone is made to this specific device to this seek info, troubleshoot, help others and develop for this device, its not for collecting uninformed opinions, bashing, crying and feeling helpless

Some of you might have geniune concerns but trust me everyone else are just those who don't have the device and are not even considering to buy it

They are simply here to waste everyone's time and just to spoil the party for those who got it or waiting for it

Despite 98% in average of all the reviews online, highly praised by the entire press

Here what our friendly trolls are concluding :

- it's not unibody

- it plastic

- its camera sucks

- bad in digital zoom

- bad in HDR

- battery life is miserable

- reception sucks

This and every other mobile problem on this planet, shocking how we come into this forum and its doom/gloom meanwhile outside the entire world is in shock and awe with this device

Here is what I think of this forum right now:

It's miserable, bitter, deconstructive and plain useless, it has nothing to do with development or help and everything to do with nagging, crying and complaining

I'm going to ask a mod to lock this thread

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Unbelievable pic quality in my opinion!
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
HTC One, Gallery Auto Enhance: (HTC Gallery > Edit > Effects > Auto Enhance)

the ultrapixel sensor captures a lot of detail per pixel, hence sometimes images can look washed out due to detailed brighter than usual shadow areas

a simple contrast fix like contrast +1 or auto enhance, should make it a lot more appealing

i think i like them better than the One X results, blacks/whites are not aggressively cropped, obviously its not suitable for all situations but it does fix washed out images

update: you can customize the auto enhance filter by holding and dragging the preset to custom

one more from the pictures thread, this one shows the benefit of fast shutter speed (auto enhanced)

OOOOOYYYEEEAAA Welcome back man
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
GL benchmark 2.7 Released and it brings suprises to Adreno GPUs, it's an advanced shaders heavy test, an area where Adreno always been strong

Adreno 320 Beating both iOS (iPhone5 and iPad4) devices in onscreen performance

GLBenchmark 2.7 T-Rex HD C24Z16, oncreen

Adreno 330 appears on the LG D801! @1080p = 1243 frames

Nexus4 @720p = 1114 frames, beats the iPhone5 @subHD = 763 frames

HTC One @1080p = 736 frames, in it's current 4.1.2 drivers almost matching the iPhone5 @subHD despite the much higher density

Droid DNA @1080p = 685 frame, beats the iPad4 @2k = 676 frames

Finally the One XL with Adreno 225 scores 453 frames, beating both Tegra 3 and Exynos 4 which are a match around 360 frames

more GPU related news, HTC and Qualcomm been busy at the Game Developers Conference and they showed the HTC One running the s800 ES3.0 Tech demo, video at the link:

HTC One will get OpenGL ES 3.0 support

When HTCDev were asked byTurbotab they repeated that they are working on Open GL improvements

Adreno 320 on the SGS4 Android 4.2.2 scores 17fps beating the iPad4 in offscreen

As for the Exynos 5 Octa, it seems as predicted the GPU is scoring 40fps at the now old GL 2.5 Egypt HD offscreen test
[One (M7) General] mitas35:
any predictions about the ONE?:p
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
GPU post updated above

Adreno 330 and HTC One scores appeared!

Adreno 330 almost 2x the speed

HTC One in its current drivers matching the iPhone 5 score despite the massive resolution difference
[One (M7) General] mitas35:
After 4.2.2 and new drivers should be even fester.

any predictions ??:confused:
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
sorry yea Adreno 330 blew my mind a little

Qualcomm is on fire lol

(iPhone5s is coming in July with apple A7 so it will definitely have new GPU speed)

to answer your question i am expecting 20% increase whether with the assumed drivers update or the scenario where we OC the GPU to match the S600 on the S4 (chip-works already confirmed they are using the exact same chipset)

so it should score 883 frames, this will put a little higher than the iPhone 5

now if we are lucky and this 20% is purely drivers, we can still do another 20% gain over it from GPU OC which can go all the way to 487mhz up from 400mhz

This would bring us up to 1030, almost achieving the Nexus 4 720p results and 20% short from Adreno 330

There is also the possiblity of Adreno 330 being simply a revision with new aggressive drivers updates + 450mhz, if this true, we can gain a lot more from the 330 drivers

Like i said Adreno 3xx is an advanced architecture and still behind on drivers, like we saw from the promised ES 3.0 demo on the HTC One its running the same demo in the same performance as when it was shown on Snapdragon 800

great snap!
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes but it doesnt mean much, it's the native onscreen which reflects real gameplay

but interesting results we can predict the Exynos 5 octa thanks to them

i say the octa will score around 700 frames :)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
depending on the image, if your blacks are washed out or a low light picture is low light (but the levels are in the picture) you will need it
[One (M7) General] shox22:
onscreen is the interesting part. So the one is able to run games with 1080p nearly as fast as the iphone 5 with the much lower resolution.

And we will probably get an increase of gpu power with the new drivers.

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
although i don't get why we loose so much from offscreen to onscreen 1080p

836 frames drop to 736 frames, in Faux' App we can disable vsync but we didn't observe any change on stock kernel

the One is still scoring as the fastest Adreno 320 device in offscreen, a lot higher than the Nexus 4, it's currently in third place until the SGS4 appears

Yes, thats a bit weird... all the none htc phones dont have big drops in onscreen performance. For example the Lg optimus g pro (s600):

http://glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?benchmark=glpro27&D=LG+F240L+Optimus+G+Pro

nearly as fast as the one onscreen, but loses offscreen by 15%.

The same phenomenon happens on the dna... htc driver bug?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
happens on the S600 SGS 4 as well, drops from 41 to 36 on the 2.5 test

the octa however drops only 2frames

In my opinion once we have those promised and latest ES 3.0 drivers, expect greater performance than the current S600 S4 scores

HTC been really active at GDC this year, never seen them so engaged in gaming, in coordination with Qualcomm the HTC One is the flagship device for s600, so I expect great things
[One (M7) General] shox22:
Better performance then the s600 s4 atm? that would be awesome.

I dont rly play games on phones (Ok, my hd2 laggs on plants vs zombies and templerun... :D + my one x was way to slow at release). But i like to know that i could play every game without laggs if i want ;)

Taking to account what is stated on HTC's site and GSM Review, HTC One "only" has MHL 1.0. Can someone test it? It's a pity since MHL 2.0 passes 1080p video at 60Hz (while MHL 1.0 at 30Hz) and charge up to twice as fast. I think SIV is the 1st phone with MHL 2.0 (LG Optimus G Pro, Nexus 4 and Asus Padfone Infinity have slimport/MyDP).

Hi hamdir everything I like on one except bad photo quality in good lighting condition, photos are too much purple color in good light condition , and over blown in white light or bright light, I compare one's pics with my dusting Sony Ericsson k-750i and S3 and realize that one has worst image quality among all in good lighting, do you think that its a software or processing problem ? and will it be solved in new production or software update??
