I got my HTC One from US. It's the 64GB Developer's Edition. The top of my phone is slightly mis-aligned in the sense the gorilla glass is slightly raised against the top metal speaker unit. It is ever so slight...not visible, but can feel it, especially when I try to pull down the notification bar. But looking at the other problems around, I don't think this really bothers me too much. Because it'll be a big deal for me, trying to ship it back to US and get a replacement. And if the next piece turns out to be worse, then it'll be bigger problems for me. So, I'm going to live with this one....though it is not really that big a deal for me.
[One (M7) General] rubenswing:
same is the case with my 64GB dev edition.. still I am happy with it the way it is :)
[One (M7) General] mathen:

[One (M7) General] rkial:
Had a question.. If there is a problem with a phone, do I have to return it to the store I got it from after getting a DOA or will the HTC service center take it?

I'm asking because returning it to the store might be a problem if I get it online.

Hi Anmol

Where in Noida did you get it? I checked with a few stores in Delhi and they all seem to have black only.

Delhi buyers: Just watch out if you go to Novelty communications in CR park, they are trying to quote random high prices. They started with 44500, and then came down to 43 when another salesman "accidentally" mentioned this price.

That's one of those that are not manufactured perfectly. The speaker grill does not sit perfectly on the polymer and hence the gap. If possible get it changed!

Guys Dont wanna disappoint you guys here...However , My uncle has told me that HTC One is just a starter and VERY VERY VERY Soon..HTC will be launching SUCCESSOR of HTC One....and India will be the few first markets to get it....

I dont know weather to be happy or sad with this news...
[One (M7) General] UCFour:
HTC Butterfly 2 will be launching soon..that too may be in the month of October or so

i dont think newer version of HTC One will be released in 2013
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
So, it seems like I don't have to worry about my phone, but the only problem was I have to some how send the device to us for warranty claim. Thank you!

But actually I'm thinking about this insurance just because to avoid sending my device to US every time for a warranty claim.
[One (M7) General] rkial:
Hey.. You mentioned about the DOA policy a few pages back.

I had a question. Will the HTC service center that gives the DOA certificate take the phone as well or do I have to send it back to the online retailer I buy it from?
[One (M7) General] SamBG:
Can u plz cnfrm and tell bcoz m planin to buy HTC One this july ven i get back home..!!!
[One (M7) General] rubenswing:
First of all, there is no Indian Insurance co. that will allow you to take out an insurance on a mobile phone, which doesn't even exist in the Indian Market and secondly if you do take an american insurance (somehow, which would not be possible without the paper work here in India), you will have to ship the device back to the States for a replacement

[One (M7) General] UCFour:
Yeah..if we need insurance the only way to get it is to buy the mobile from Univercell

Univercell in India is offering insurance on HTC One at an extra cost of 1700/-
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
naah Successor to HTC ONE .....I am talking about..he was very clear and crisp about it....and he also, said that it will launch sooner than expected......

Yes, They will just check all accessories and box with handset and will hand it over back with a DoA certificate , which you need to produce to online retailer you got it from....but only a authorized online retailer....

if you are waiting till July then ..i am sure newer version will be disclosed soon...just wait..
[One (M7) General] rubenswing:
you are eligible for a DOA within the first 14 days since the date of purchase
[One (M7) General] UCFour:
hmm then it might be HTC One M4..Mini version of HTC One
[One (M7) General] rubenswing:
Exactly my point, but in this case the HTC One Dev. edition is not available in India, hence no insurance from Univercell.

yeh lo aa gayi news...Ab to vishwas karo......This confirms what My uncle said....Damn my uncle knows a lot hehehe...

He's a VP ..
[One (M7) General] SamBG:
Bro he said a successor dat mean higher specs or some improved version...the link u shared is of M4 which is a downgraded version of the Htc One..

I want to knw whether Htc is plannin to launch Htc One+ or sumthin lyk dey did wid Htc One X!!

Btw thnks!!
[One (M7) General] rkial:
Is there a list of authorized retailers? I dont mean people off ebay.. but flipkart, indiatimes, infibeam, snapdeal etc. should be fine.. right?

It'll still be a hassle sending the phone back to bangalore if that becomes a problem... but flipkart does have a 30 day return policy so they might pick it up..

Hopefully none of that will be needed..

and the successor.. I've read something about a stock version of the One.. and a phablet (bigger screen)..

Those might be it..

HTC would massively piss off its customer base if they came up with another device to directly rival their 2013 flagship
[One (M7) General] SamBG:
Ok...but any rumours abt vich month...??

I love Htc One...but if der is a bigger screen i ll have one more reason to love it more:p
[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
new HTC one then! Think it will be the stock 5 inch one that has started to leak. If it comes in July, must be launching with 4.3 then. Don't see this happening before fall though!

[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
No worries, I don't look back until next year's flagship was released. I got a beautiful phone with a handsome storage.

Even if they released a new phone it will be like last year's one x+ and the price of that device will be around 50k just like butterfly. And of course I won't think about investing on a new phone in 4th quarter of the year, when everyone's so sure of a new flagship coming in a few months after that.

Actually HTC promised only one flagship this year, so it might be a device with 5.5+ inch screen to compete with Note 3 or whatever. So I'm sure that device wouldn't be a one's successor, it would be a butterfly's successor and HTC might have two flagships like Samsung's S4 and Note3.

This is just my opinion. Thanks for the info.
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
He said that it will be very soon.....maybe in 3 months.....

I'll wait for it...Would love to have HTC One with 5" screen..that would be a dream gadget...

also, he said that camera would be an upgrade to 4 Ultra pixel....( they will stick with ultra pixel thing) ......So yes, waiting for it..now....

new gadget to die for....COMING SOON :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
Can u be precise, what sort of paper work here in India? U mean to claim for the insurance?

I already got my device from US, can't I simply purchase the insurance through online from here? Thank you
[One (M7) General] rubenswing:
Here's how the process works:

1. The account holder should call to file a claim

2. Provide the mobile number for the phone in question

3. Provide the manufacturer and model of the phone

4. Provide a description of the incident, including:

Where: Location or address of where loss or damage took place

What: Description of the incident that caused the loss or damage

When: Time & date (must be reported within 90 days of incident )

What: Cause of the damage

5. If stolen:

You must have a police report number from the jurisdiction in the city where the crime occurred

Police report should be filed with the authorities

In certain events, additional documentation may be required, such as a copy of the police report or a sworn statement of incident, to process your claim. Also, the Administrator may request to speak with the user of the phone in order to get additional details concerning the claim.

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

As an alternative Call up HTC on their US helpline numbers and ask them if they can help you out with Insurance, there is no problem in purchasing the insurance here, but u need to tell the insurance co. that u r in India and what would be the steps required, in case u want to file a claim
[One (M7) General] crimsonking19:
HTC one is not going to be upgraded for a year...thats how product cycles work....so probably my march 2014 we would see an upgrade....

What people are referring to is this the upcoming HTC one with stock android. Cant post the link here as I am not allowed to post outside links till i post ten messages...but you guys can google it....

This rumor seems to be quite credible....people who are fans of stock android...might want to wait for this version of the HTC one....

Guys Relax there is no ONE successor any time sooner HTC will be launching One with Stock Android end of June and during IFA there will be a successor to Butterfly and mid-range phone. HTC will start 4.2.2 from next week onwards. CID_001 will be the first ones to get.

[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
IR - you are referring to M4. M4 has been doing the rounds from a long time now. It was there in the books when M7 was in the testing phases. I'm talking about a time line as early as late december last year. I had already read about the M4 late december 2013. M4 is the sibling of M7. M7 is what is doing rounds now. M7 is HTC One. M7 is the code name for HTC One. And M4 is it's smaller sibling.

M4 is to M7 what HTC One S was to HTC One X. M4 is NOT another flagship phone. It is simply put a smaller, less expensive version of the One. It is meant for those people who can't afford or who think M7 is just a tad expensive. M4 has all the goodies of M7. The unibody aluminium, front speaker grill. The size is smaller (4.3), smaller processor (1.2 Ghz), 16 GB so on and so forth.

The way HTC is going, they cannot afford to release another flagship phone. They first of all, haven't been able to get their production lines straightened out for M7. There are so many delays. Imagine a country with 1.1 billion people and already the world's LARGEST consumer of mobile phones and we are now only getting the HTC One. They have to straighten out their production lines.

Secondly, if they were to release another flagship that outdoes what M7 offers, trust me, they will lose out a lot of customers. A lot of customers would feel cheated. They would feel that HTC made them purchase a lower grade phone and then, released another. That's something they simply cannot afford at this moment.

M4 was always in the works. It was always going to be released. It's for those who can't or don't want to spend as much on M7. So, I think we can relax and enjoy our M7's for sometime now.

Moreover, I also heard that HTC is also going to concentrate on providing better support and upgrading their software release cycles. So, I hope that turns out to be true. Don't think they want another mess on their hands by having another "Butterfly 2" or a HTC One+.

This is more of the competitor for upcoming Note 3. The original rumour says it is 5+ inch and not 5 inch exactly. Mostly 5.3 or 5.5 inch device to compete in Phablet market.

It makes sense for HTC as they currently have nothing in that category. And people have spoken, there is demand for phones in this category. Success of note and then recently launched Optimus G Pro means HTC cannot ignore this category. But I dont know if they can stick with all metal design at that size to be honest.

One owners should not have anything to complain about if HTC comes with phone in this category.

[One (M7) General] thechints:
Sounds very logical. But the funny thing about all these cell phone companies selling in India is that despite knowing we're one of the fastest gobblers of devices, India has for some reason always been a Tier2 market for them. It looks like numbers wise, USA and Europe give them more numbers (maybe not absolutely) within a short period of time. Products coming late to India is mostly not related to production issues but economic ones. And if there are production issues then definitely we're gonna be second priority as explained in the next paragraph.

Agreed we're 1 billion 'strong', if we are, but it's a very fragmented market - don't have the absolute numbers but despite whatever, USA and Europe outsell us in flagship numbers, probably Japan too. In the western markets, the carriers pick up the units in bulk, thereby guaranteeing a sizeable fixed order in advance, compared to individual unit sales here in India, which could take its own sweet time. Eg. Nexus 4 which will be launched in India on 27th at 26k MRP by LG, not Google - not at all related to production issues. LG has the stock since 2 months but pricing point was an issue and they decided to go alone, without Google Play support and hence it's availability on Flipkart first than Play Store. Samsung is the only one that launches phones in India within a month of global rollout, not even Apple. Motorola has totally pulled out of this country.

But then either ways, like pointed out by Swingmaster, they won't be doing themselves any favour whatsoever by upping the benchmark over a recently released flagship. Would be like making the consumer buy a 8" pizza and once bought, offering a 10" pizza with better toppings for the same price to the next person in the order queue. HTC would be shooting themselves in the foot by doing so. Samsung got away with that practice by introducing different variants but in different categories. Having two flagships - S4 and within 6 months an upgraded Note. So effectively a new high spec device every 6 months instead of 12 but the consumer base is slightly different for both so it's a changeover to a different form, rather than an upgrade.

So, if HTC is getting a 'phablet', should be alright. People won't feel cheated with that. Just a bigger screen, meaning lesser ppi, with the same guts as the M7, in which case it's a variant, not an upgrade really. (Unless they slap a 8 ultrapixel cam on it, oooh, people gonna be pissed then)

I've loved HTC phones despite the fact that I've been using the Note1 for 18 months now, with more than a year on custom ROMs, despite them being broken. Sammy has that big issue, is not really dev friendly although they like to portray otherwise. HTC is quite dev friendly. So one more win for them.

Let's hope HTC does the wise thing and focuses on UX than hardware upgrades.
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Sir, Successor means UPGRADE and M4 is downgrade and cheaper version of M7 aka HTC One. I am only telling you guys what I've got to know....and it was very clearly stated that THERE"S A SUCCESSOR to HTC ONE coming very soon with very much the same design elements as HTC one....Also, Butterfly 2 will be launching with the name Butterfly S which may be the company's first PHABLET ...and HTC One successor will be the next flagship . According to him , HTC has already started working on it and will go under production very soon.

I TRUST HIS WORDS

Its ButterflyS Which will be phablet and not HTC One successor...

Most of these build quality issues have gone in the more recent builds, as far as I'm aware. It was only the first few builds which had such problems and then HTC realised they had to get it sorted otherwise it would hurt their sales.

Just so you know, I also have a very slight gap on the top left corner (where power button is) and also have a small cluster of dead pixels on the upper right hand side of my screen but these small "issues" are not enough to make me send the phone back because I'm still loving the phone.
