I've tried once buying something like this, from someone in Malaysia, though it was an individual. Lost money. If it's too good to be true, it usually isn't true. The cheapest One is available in the US for about 32,000. So that price etc sounds a bit off the tangent to me. But then, you know ur luck better :P

Regarding root, it gives the user access to make system changes, editing, tweaking how the operating system works - also called as mods. In addition to that, the OS can be changed by flashing custom ROMs. But that's all for a later date.

The basic advantage of rooting is changing a few things like gallery displaying annoying Facebook galleries could be suppressed. Also, you can run backup restore apps like Helium, and Titanium... Hope this helps (a bit)

[One (M7) General] ubajaj:
Planning to get the One this Saturday. It seems that maximum defects being shown here are seen in silver models? Or is it because silver models have sold more so complaints are higher? :P

I'd hate it if in front of my family, who are as it is skeptic about this phone, the dealer has to open multiple boxes for a "perfect" piece :|

Also, most of you seem to have purchased from dealers/shops. How are the pieces distributed to the "big" retailers like Croma and Reliance Digital. I am planning to buy from one of them or the Mobile Store (Bombay)

Good time to get it or should I wait for HTC to improve on build quality/decrease price? Max I can wait is till 7th of June or so.

If there are good/reliable "small" dealers who will probably have a chance of better pieces in Bombay, I could appreciate being pointed out their names :)
[One (M7) General] rkalantri:
None.
[One (M7) General] htc_one_fan:
I bought one from the Mobile store in Pune.. a perfect piece... I'm also a bit apprehensive about the build quality and so that was the first question i asked the sales guy.. He was kind enough to tell me that he will open the package and check the devide in front of me and and if still there are certain issues discovered within two days , Mobile store would issue a new piece to me. After two days, if i still find any build issues will have to go the the HTC service center.

You get good two full days to check your device without have to worry about DoA and all.. I think not every other piece would be a defective one.. it could be some of the batches that would be defective.. Keep in mind that the device manufactured from the same production lines are shipped to US and UK. So the quality cannot be generally below par.
[One (M7) General] mathen:
I would like to say the gap if its huge ,it will close on pressing ,check both upper and lower ends,as speaker grills are originally glued to unibody( to be honest these are not huge gaps generally).... also check for dead pixels and any light bleed. ( dead pixels seen best on dark background screen) ,go ahead and get one,no need to open all boxes , you will be getting your perfect piece- good luck:good:
[One (M7) General] rkial:
I dont have any stuck/dead pixels.. everything works fine.. The screen and the speakers grills are aligned properly..

I do have a tiny gap on the top.. it starts off fine on the left (above the front facing cam) and the gap starts about a third of the way in.. It can be pressed together if I apply some force.. but it really isnt something that is bothering me at all..

I guess even tiny misalignment will show up on the silver model because the black (gap) would stand out in between the white plastic and the silver speaker grill.

It wont be that easily noticed on the all black phone.

I have a similar gap on the top of my iphone 4 which flexes when i press... but I never see it.. I cant see the one on my ONE either if its a couple of feet away.. but I can if I hold it up and bring it close to my eyes.. which no one does.

Not ideal.. but I've put a screen protector on and set up the phone already.. No plans of getting a DOA for something this minor...

with my luck, the second phone would probably be a lot worse.

The only problem I have with the phone is the power button.. its too flush.. and when I'm holding it and my index finger comes from behind the phone (already at a stretch because the phone is big), I cant seem to hit it perfectly the first time.

And I dont have small hands... :p

Getting better at it.. figuring out where it is and will get used to it soon enough.

The display is gorgeous.

Got my HTC yesterday

Just got my HTC ONE yesterday. I have came from Xperia TX.

This device is brilliant. Only issue is that it takes ages to charge the battery.

My previous phone Xperia TX charged 0 to 100% quite faster than this one.

But again, HTC ONE has higher powered battery than Xperia.

Other thanthat, this piece of metal is a charmer
[One (M7) General] htc_one_fan:
it would take a longer for the first time.. later on it should charge full in max 2 hours.. other users correct me if I'm wrong...

I too bought it yesterday - so one question to everyone:

I could find one problem - not sure if HTC one related. The 3G (Vodafone Pune) on my device is not working and is only showing edge connection on the top bar on the home screen. Is there a way to correct this if some of you guys have faced it? I've already connected the Vodafone customer care and hoping for a resolution.. Checking it here just incase if this can be resolved by way of change in some settings... Thanks for your help...
[One (M7) General] Deepak Saligram:

After 24 hours of using the htc one (silver) , I have to say.. I am amazed, and blown away!

What a piece of technology this is.. i just keep picking it up and playing with it, the design language, the aesthetics.. gosh! htc has shown that it is not quietly, but INSANELY brilliant! bravo!! Love it!!

all those who are waiting to get it and still thinking about it.. don't wait, get it right away! you are missing an amazing piece of extension in your life.. so freakin glad I made the right choice!
[One (M7) General] mnshzz:
Thanks for the confirmation... I am a bit surprised to be honest.... HTC really need to do better than that.... That shop does not even have visible HTC signage....and the basement is shared with Sony.... Does not look or feel like a concept store in any way.....

Try to force using only 3G connection in settings instead of auto mode and see if it connects to 3G if you believe 3G signal is strong in your area. At times in auto mode 3G does not connect in case signal is week.

I have found that this phone gives excellent connectivity even in low signal area. I have started getting 3G in areas where HTC One X was not able to get it

data backup

Hi All,

what's the best way to back up the entire data on HTC One.. incl messages, settings etc.. iTunes have a great way to sync, is there anything similar.. checked HTC Sync manager but guess it doesnot backup the messages & settings..

secondly, i checked my One for backup and it says that the data is backed up on google servers.. where can i check whether its getting backed up and the latest version of the backup available at any point of time?

well few guys have ordered from uk so can u post ur cost breakup u know how much for the phone taxes and shipping cuz' im also thinking of getting it from uk and is there any seller warranty like somewhere i had read that in case of any repairs for the phone the seller will cover the expenses for shipping from india and to india ???
[One (M7) General] rkial:
The warranty will be valid in the UK. So you'll have to ship it to the UK (and pay for the return shipping) if you want it serviced.

Shipping charges can be seen on the websites.. add it to cart and it'll give you the charges.

clove : International Mail: £24, DHL: £30, Fedex: £34

handtec: DHL £24, Fedex£28

It hasnt been shipped yet so no one would have the exact custom charges.

its the price in UK before VAT + shipping + customs and charges in India.

Handtec is cheaper..

Phone + cover + shipping (dhl) for £443.89
[One (M7) General] Slim Shady:
thx for the quick reply bud another question someone said that if u opt for royal mail u will skip customs as they don't bother with it is that true ???

Re: HTC One Indian buyers only

This is incredibly misguided post really. Why should you think xperia z is waste. It is a pretty good device, among the best out there. Screen is not as bad as you are making it out to be. It is still among the best out there.

There is no one phone for everybody. If others like something other than what you do, please learn to respect that.

Re: HTC One Indian buyers only

I have bought 3 phones from UK till now , htc one s , sensation, incredible s , there is a friend of mine in UK who buys and sends them to me via royal mail international signed for , I recently bought a ultrabook same way ! I never got charged for customs , I got many others things too via same route , never got charged , but I bought a phone off eBay USA who sent it via FedEx I got charged with customs !! Next time I bought something from the same seller he used usps no custom charge !

Conclusion: the courier have to be inspected for customs and hence get charged

But the items sent by national post services of any nations donot get charged By India post

[One (M7) General] schiwa:
No. VAT won't be applicable for India. But you will have to pay around 8-9 K customs charges.

Its not a good idea of importing mobiles, you can ask some of your friends [if] to bring coming from uk to india, or buy and send through national mail, probably they won't inspected mostly [but check this option b4 buy]
[One (M7) General] sam9s:
Yea same for me, from CLOVE, but add around 6000 for CVD, CESS, EDU.CESS etc to get the final price to 42k ....

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

If the entry cost is 37000 (including shipping) then around 6000 will be charges for CVD, CESS, Edu CESS etc ....
[One (M7) General] buBleZ:
I don't know why people are exaggerating abt customs charges. It is 7% for mobiles on the landing cost (customs + Shipping + insurance) . So for a 36K phone it is going to be approximately 2.5K. Please don't post information without research that will misguide folks visiting this thread

Quite right the official import duty is cvd 1% central edu cess 3% customs edu cess 3%.

[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
I am also from Pune, also using Vodafone. Never had any issues with my one. Works flawlessly. Not an issue at all. Check your network settings. When setting it up, I just let the default value remain. It seems to download the APN values from Vodafone. Just make sure of one thing that the APN in use is the Vodafone Mobile Connect and not the Vodafone Live. Mine defaulted to Vodafone Live and I had occasional issues. Switched to Vodafone Mobile Connect (it's the second option in APN settings of Mobile Data) and everything was running smoothly ever since.

Am thinking of getting the Dev Edition from the US.. But am afraid of getting one and living without warranty.. Heard so much about the gap problem & also the fact that it being an in-built battery it could be faulty.. Wont be able to exchange it for a new one.. No idea what to do
[One (M7) General] gh.rohit:
Thats why i dropped that idea.....warranty is important. Anyway US Dev edition coming for 35k+duty charge
[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
As far as settings is concerned, Google seems to do a marvellous job. It backs up all the settings. There is no single site that'll show you, but it is there. If you are setting up a new phone and you sign in with your id, it'll restore all your settings. With the one, I see that HTC has also started the same thing. So, you may either backup using Google or using HTC's backup. If you use HTC's backup, it seems that the backup is stored in your Dropbox account. Don't know what'll happen if you don't have a dropbox account.

As far as SMS messages go, I have this downloaded this app called SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel. It'll backup all your messages onto your gmail account. You can restore it anytime you want from there. So that way, it is really flexible and your data is secure at all times. ready to restored anytime.

[One (M7) General] thechints:
You could try searching for starters :P

Nonetheless, here's a guide with links to tools needed. Slightly long procedure to root

1. Have to unlock bootloader (which will wipe EVERYTHING)

2. For that follow the procedure

3. Once bootloader unlocked, then rooting can be done as per guide.

4. Thereafter, you could begin with Mods, Tweaks, and then once you're sure what you need, can flash a custom ROM.

First of, don't root for a few days, just in case there some build/battery problem. Once you're confident that the device is prime and won't need warranty soon enough, feel free to root.

If flashing, I'd recommend sticking to stock HTC ROMs for now. If you flash an AOSP/AOKP (non-sense based ROM), you'd lose camera tweaks, zoe, etc.
