Yeah I do agree they should have placed the latest cpu like HTC and samsung but they do really optimise their cpu's. Another issue is their product availability in America they have the xz instead they should have just made Xperia Z world wide. They also have two flagships per year which sucks. The HTC One Mini has some serious issues. The first being giving consumers a One product with a cheaper price the One series should only be reserved for premium phablet,4.7 and 4.3 phone.

They have also misunderstood the purpose of the One mini they are making the same mistake they made with the One s, it should be to provide the One in a mini size with only the Soc being different the prices should also be the same or very simular. The HTC One mini should come in 32gb/64gb variants instead of mere non-expandable 16gb. Someone said the reason why they chose 16gb so it doesn't canablise One sales but if they cost the same they will still make the same amount of profit. They should also make a HTC product aiming souly towards the camera audience with a beefy sensor so they can beat the 808 pureview.

little contradictory :) you think it will be right without s800?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Seems the American re release of the video, maybe as counter to the Samsung design story, been filling the media today

Remember they are now aggressively brilliant ;)

As for the second part, I meant they are doing right with the HTC M4 and then I said I don't think the Sony will have a800
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
LOL OK :) M4!

i am happy that they are doing it aggressively... the YouTube uploaded date is on 25th of April .. The best part was the video was lot better to watch than the s4. S4's video was long and was in Chinese which was the worst part of it! lol..

I've created a POLL, asking if both phones had the same specs, would you prefer a 4 inch or 4.7 inch HTC One. Please add your vote, at the moment it's 75% for the bigger screen.

I know that Android users tend to love big screens, whereas iOS users often state a preference for smaller displays. If we get enough votes, it could useful info for HTC's product planning team.

[One (M7) General] Turbotab:
Of course you were correct, but there are issues and there are ISSUES. I would say a small gap, and some weak glue is much less worrying than problems with a complex component such as an Amoled display. Hopefully for GS4 owners, any issue is firmware related, rather than physical.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Amoled screens are probably the biggest thing that puts me off Samsung phones.

That smearing issue is not the only screen issue on the sgs4...

One guy in the s4 forum had the smearing plus a pink tint on low brightness all over the screen. Now he exchanged his phone. The new one has the: "red subpixel problem". So the red subpixels are on while the screen should show black:

You don't want to hear in Canada Telus offered an in store credit for any "smart device".

I brought in my old (not working) HTC Vogue (cdma version of the winmo 6.1 Touch). I received an in store credit of $100.

I paid $53.50 for my One, and had a "device balance" (must be paid in full to upgrade to a new device, or when cancelling the contract) of $501, tax free.

So, $554.50 Canadian dollars for a spanking new One.

First World problems, sorry guys! I do hope Hamdir gets his at a reasonable price though, as much as I Love this phone...$900? Would give me pause.
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
The phone is excellent and has the demand to exceed any sales of previous HTC models.However the real problem here is HTC.

Based on cnet http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...launch/?part=pulse&subj=latest-news&tag=title

ONE has sold 750.000 in april and 300.000 in March. This is in total slight better than 1 million devices. The prediction for April production was 1.2 million units thus HTC missed this target badly.

HTC needs to improve its production radicaly in order to be able to gain for the momentum that clearly ONE has.It is georgeous phone and I feel lucky that I managed to buy it. However it is sad that everyone that sees this phone in my hand would like to buy it and there is nowhere on sell!!

Lets hope that HTC will be able to reach May production goal which is more than 2 million devices in order to meet demand and price goes down.
[One (M7) General] MoshuXXL:
I've read somewhere that this year One's sales are expected to be around 10 million. That means a production of around 1 million per month. Insufficient in my opinion. They need a way to manufacture more of them.
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
I really hope that you manage to get your One soon Hamdir, you've spent more time in this thread than anyone else, offering a goldmine of information and have as always been helpful and courteous.

[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
They also report early April that they will produce 1.2 million till end of April and they manage to produce only 750.000, so I am not to optimistic.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
how can it be a bad batch

its the most fresh, as you said 24th of April

SH had the best build quality for the One X (during launch)

so don't be Lebanese and panic about "made in China" if you have a problem with this fact i can buy it off you ;)

yalla enjoy
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
thanks for the kind words ;)

no rush if it wasn't that my One X is damaged

either way something will come up, other than buying a no return unit from black market at the profit of evil lords :)

[One (M7) General] HTInOxM8:
Be patient mate :) I think its worth the wait . Still the ONE hasn't gone on sale here in India but the sgs4 is available. But ill wait for the ONE. Also they had a big front page advert for the sgs4 in the times of India newspaper today . I think HTC too should do something like that here .

The same is everywhere. Hope they'll prevail in the "David versus Goliath" fight.

And kokusho agrees http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process

Although there is one vital use for SOFF and that is changing your region without that you might be stock without an OTA or ROM based which requires and hoot change, this happened with the One X where many owners from obscure carrier are now stuck without the vital JB update despite unlocking from HTC De

Ideally I would propose official boot loader unlocking officially should reset all devices into one unified CID like for example a "dev edition" CID

Man, I sometimes hate going into the AT&T store. The guy trying to sell a phone to this group of girls told damn that HTC doesn't give a specific number on the camera and said he assumed that it was between 13 to 16 megapixels I wanted to slap him across the face for the ignorance. Idk if he was lying or just not well enough informed. Every time I go in there I almost always have to leave before I put them through a training course in the middle of the store. Either they need to train their agents better or watch them closer and discipline them for lying to customers.

I have more or less a same experience but in T-Mo. I was on vacation to TX and I just realized that I cannot use data connection because the international HOX use different frequency. I know about that and after read some sites I have to get an old simcard. But when I went to the store the guy just told me that it is because of my fault. He said that my bootloader was unlocked (which is true) but then based on that statement and only that statement he refuse to help me at all, no matter how much I explained about frequencies and old simcard.
[One (M7) General] clninja:

I was considering to order it from Dubai but at that price plus customs its not worth it

Bad

Stuck on Android 4.1.2 which means...

...It's missing some features of Android 4.2, like Quick Settings, which HTC won't make up in its own UI

It's also missing a Menu button, which isn't supported by some Android applications

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those "Bad" points are definitely not really bad points.

We get 4.2 in mid May?

Menu button is Google, I prefer the fewer buttons, having said that I would like to be able to use the logo also, when I get round to rooting.
[One (M7) General] Ali_ultra99:
Can the 3 dots menu button , be mapped to one of the two buttons , like the one x
[One (M7) General] shox22:
not without a custom rom at the moment.

On 1.27 it was possible to map the menu key on the back button (double tap). With 1.28 its gone and 1.29 also doesnt have settings for that.

Rumors say that the function will come back with 4.2.2... We´ll see...

Edit: You are able to map the menu key on the htc logo with a custom rom.

Nokia lumia 928 is threatened to be the next best low-light camera if it has the same camera as 920 then we already know the answer wheather it's good.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Doesn't matter. If you unlock your bootloader you send your phones info to HTC when you request for the unlock. Changing to relocked probably wont help.
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
Registering for HTCDev and receiving the unlock file/code and not using it does not negate your warranty. Only if the device was actually unlocked is warranty void. And since it can say LOCKED (as stock is) and not RE-LOCKED, they have no way of showing that any unlocking was actually done. In my country, your warranty is void even for a faulty volume button, which is no no way connected with unlocking your phone :)

Never thought of it like that! But I see your point :)
