yeah I didnt think about that scenario ...

flash wudnt work there neway ...

I m out of the 14days DOA so I don't know if I am gonna b able to get a replacement for the camera fault ...

Wut did the service center guy tell u for ur camera prob??

Do u still have the DOA or its already passed the 14th day ??
[One (M7) General] cool_dhamz:
It has been just 5 days for me so applied for doa this morning.

At 1st he said there is no issue with the cam as his phone too as this red tint. I argued and asked to use his common sense if the cam should be really like this?? :D

He then got his testing device which seemed to be an older built, probably from may. Tested then he realized his personal device is faulty too :P

He accepted my request and will give me a call at evening after the engineer have a look at it. Probably they will just hard reset and confirm it aint a software issue.

Ill keep you updated at end of day when i get a call. Hope they provide me a DOA..
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
i have been trying to look rele hard for the purple tint in that foto ... more than the tint that portion looks like its out of focus n blurry ...

how many days do u have left for the DOA ??

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

cool lemme know wut happens ... !!

but wut if the replacement handsets u get have the same problem and I mean all or most of the ones u chk ... wut then ??

thats one thing tht is bugging me n I m soo confused coz I have the perfect ONE :p .... well except for the newly discovered camera issue ... n also being INDIA its very unlikely they will give me a replacement, instead they will insist that I give it for repairs .... and risk my fone being MANHANDLED and damaged further :(
[One (M7) General] amolbali:
Forget about my pic..i have several other pics also..just check this out..this person had a problem with his HTC One..the same problem..and he got it replaced..and then he compared the old pics with the new one..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43265994&postcount=89

and i got this phone on Monday (8th July)..noticed this on sat night..Sunday everything is closed..plus i live in Gurgaon and the shop is in delhi..so will get a DOA on Wednesday..so that the DOA Certificate is valid till the weekend..when it is possible for me to go and replace the device..

And now i'm planning to get a refund or buy nexus 4..because i don't think the store will allow me to open more boxes (already opened 8-12 boxes)..
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
hmmmm ... i doubt i have tht option either ... mostly either repair or stick wid this one ...

the pix r quite evident of the problem .... i have the same experience with the purple tint in my pix ...

but if all of us have the same problem then the replacement is bound to have tht too right ??
[One (M7) General] amolbali:
You can atleast try..
[One (M7) General] sarathsnair:

My phone have 3 dead pixels ? is their any problem with that ?
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
[MENTION=4578931]japjit100[/MENTION]

So u replaced the fone in DOA ??

u got the replacement handset and the problem still exists ??

If thats the case then the problem is with the camera in all HTC one ... also the service center guy said that the purple tinting is caused by a faulty motherboard ...

Don't know how reliable this info is but thats wut he said n he said they will try to repair the problem n if they can fix it then they will replace the motherboard ... !!
[One (M7) General] amolbali:
yes..you can get a DOA for that..
[One (M7) General] UCFour:
Yes definitely there's a problem

go get a DOA..
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
dead pixels is a problem ... u can try using an app called dead pixels detect and fix from play store .... lot of ppl have claimed that it fixes the dead pixels ... never tried it so dont know how well it works ...

give it a try and if u have the option of DOA then get the handset replaced ... Dead pixels, from wut I have heard tend to cause major display issues over a period of time in the future ...

[One (M7) General] cool_dhamz:
Anyone here with a perfect build? Especially with the camera?

What is the build month? Im gonna get a DOA soon and will look for a specific batch then..
[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
Did you clear data of the gallery app from apps ?

Yes, if it bothers you, you can take the DOA way.

No. Not a problem with the One. it is a problem of a few of the devices. I have a May device and the camera is flawless.

The issue is either with the image processor or the batch of sensor itself. Since s/w version is same for all, we can rule that one out. Worst issue till date according to me.

that app can remove stuck pixels. Dead pixels are physical damages. Cant fix those.

I have hairline gap between speaker grill and polymer. Save that, its perfect. I had taken DOA for the gaps but decided against changing the phone. Seems that is turning out to be a good decision :)
[One (M7) General] japjit100:
I don't think they can repair power button

Screen side gap and camera purple tint

[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
I have a may device as well n its there in my fone too !!

did u try taking pix in complete darkness with auto iso or at 1600 iso value ??

n the problem occurs at high iso values ... nething @ 800 or below its fine ... !!
[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
:) yes. Complete darkness photos come out pitch black @ 1945 ISO and 1/7 secs aperture time. No issues at all.

Does your device serial number start with FA or HT ? Mine does with HT and from what i have heard, build in the HT series is far better than on the FA ones. Or maybe luck was not on your side :(
[One (M7) General] japjit100:
My htc one serial number FW36

Power button and camera problem in this batch FW36

Your camera is perfect if you have don't replace it gaps is normal

I want perfect htc one or I sell it

I don't have time to go to service center

Last year I also disappointed with htc one x it's have screen flickering problem and camera focus problem

I try this time to open 2 or 3 box at shop after getting doa

If I don't get perfect htc one I not take faulty device once again

If any get perfect htc one can tell me serial number

If any one going to purchase new htc one wait for July batch

[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
Aha, i guess you are on that FA36KW batch. I opened 7 of those. All had recessed buttons. 1 was gapless though.

Never checked this pink tint problem. I did not replace my existing one because i had got my DOA for a slightly recessed power button which seems to have repaired it self and i can hear the click once more. Hairline gap between polymer and speaker is not an issue for me.

Me happy with my One :D
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
yup mine is FA ... now the only option for me to do is wait for the update and then check the device camera again ... coz I wont b getting a replacement (DOA ended long back) n I dnt wanna risk my fone being damaged further in the process of getting it repaired ...

FA369W..problem with camera
[One (M7) General] ullekh99:
Mine is FA35W and I also have the camera problem when iso is more than 800..at 800 the problem is negligible.

Personally I don't mind it as

1) I don't want to go through the hassle of getting a doa and searching for a perfect device as there is no other defect in my phone (hopefully).

2)I have applied gadget shieldz ;)

3)my doa period is over(had bought it on 30 june):p:p:p

About the wavy thing in the camera, If anyone remembers, I found out that it only happens during zoe shots, pics and videos are fine, it doesn't happen everytime, maybe software issue, but I think it is because of ois which is defective in my case, it's my weird idea...

After I exit the camera app, my screen brightness is increased to almost 100% (becomes very bright), and then after few seconds becomes normal, auto brightness is off and brightness level is 30%.

And one more thing, has anyone heard loud click sound from your camera. I hear it randomly

Comment if any suggestions

Thanks in advance
[One (M7) General] japjit100:
After 36 days I got doa tell them to repair they can't repair one because it very hard or impossible for htc India

Last week HTC came up with a statement that they have a special tool with which repair is a piece of cake for HTC service centers.

So if they had one those tools sent to India then i think repair is a possibility.

Hey Plz Help Me ..It Had Written Somewhr Tht U Have To Unlock Bootloader And S Off Then Before U Get D Major Update ..Is It True Nd Does Unlocking BL And S Off Void My Warranty ??
[One (M7) General] Slim Shady:
[MENTION=432152]vaibhav[/MENTION]

iirc u do need to have s-off before u go for the ota update as there is change in hboot version from 1.44 to 1.54 in the 4.2.2 update as the newer one has'nt been cracked yet and yup this stuff does void ur warranty but hey u can always just s-on right before giving for service and remove the tampered sign and voila warranty's back.Also keep it in mind that once s-off and on the 4.2.2 version u can't play around with s-off and s-on due to update of hboot so be sure to downgrade ur hboot version after u update so that u can tinker around with it.So don't go for ota as changes in hboot can brick up ur device instead flash from a modified image with the latest hboot removed so u can retain ur old hboot at the same time no clash of the ol and newer version of hboot.

Just go to the HTC website and read the reviews..start by the lowest ratings.. :(

http://www.htc.com/in/smartphones/htc-one/#ratings

now i feel like i should get another phone and wait for 7-8 months before the phone starts showing actual problems..everyone here is a new user..and in case of HTC we know that once they open our phone..it won't remain the same..specially in India..

After opening 8-12 boxes I couldn't find a good phone..so i don't think the production quality is good..and there might be other problems also which we are unaware of right now!!
[One (M7) General] cool_dhamz:
HT36 same problem with camera..
[One (M7) General] ullekh99:
Anyone ?
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
I feel the same about sending in my HTC one into repairs for the camera issue ...

Can't confirm about the wavy thing but the brightness thing is normal coz wen u go into camera, the fone sets the brightness to 100%. So wen u exit the camera it takes a few seconds to bring the brightness to the value u setup.

I know this coz I have my fone set on 0% @ all times ...

The loud click sound is the lens trying to focus.

To some it maybe considered as normal whereas some might consider it as a problem.

Can't rele give u a definitive answer about d click sound coz I rele am no expert but from my past experience with sony ericsson P990i which has the same issue but never rele bothered me with the cams performance ever except for the occasional auto focus problem. The same auto focus is present in my HTC one as weel tho ....

Good Luck
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:

So the one u had was HT36 ??

Good luck .... after getting the replacement handset u can check it thoroughly and u wud still have 14 days to decide if u wanna replace again or dump it entirely and go buy sumthing else ...
[One (M7) General] kmprashant:
Brightness going to 100% and then coming back to normal is ok. Its not a problem. I had this in my HTC Desire and HTC One X as well. It a common in all HTC phones and it is not a issue for sure.
[One (M7) General] amolbali:
Same here..last time found a device with zero gap..but it had some issue with the speaker..this time i found a phone with almost no gap..and now there is a problem with the camera..

I'm planning to ignore the gap and get a new handset.. :- :(

because.

1. The shopkeeper won't let me open multiple boxes now.

2. I can't think of any other decent phone to buy..i had a Galaxy S2 before this..and I gave that to my sister..so right now i need a phone!!!

3. A decent full body case will cover the device from all direction..so the gap won't be visible everyday!

And advice people!
[One (M7) General] cool_dhamz:
I came from HD2 and Note2. The HT36 i had was perfect, zero gaps, no speaker issues or anything. Just this camera thing bugged me..

I just need a perfect working camera, i got this phone for its low light capabilities.. Sure i do have a dslr but why compromise for such a hardware fault when you are paying almost 44k?
[One (M7) General] amolbali:
I will get a DOA for this phone..since one of the reason i choose HTC One over S4 was the camera performance in low light.. And i'm very happy with this phone..except the camera.. :(

[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
A hairline gap towards the speaker grill is fine. Its glue with which the grill is stuck.

I had the S2 too and i doubt there is another Android in the market which is as complete as this One. S4 with S600 is another option though.

Full body case is a great idea. Get a good quality case and keep One.

Check for important things like camera/speaker/button issues instead of harmless gaps.
[One (M7) General] amolbali:
Nopes..only the bottom one is pasted with a glue..the top one is attached via a screw.. :)

And in most of the defective pieces i have seen..the gap is more at the top..and almsot negligible at the bottom! :D

I gifted my HTC one to my younger brother today, but honestly i am so disappointed by HTC. Not because of anything but just for the build quality, you can make one of the best phone, but what is the point if you can't get it right. I had to change my phone twice, and got a near perfect phone, still not perfect but i could live with it. My question is why should i agree to live with a phone for which i have paid 43,000 bucks. It is a LOT of money.

I am so sad that HTC has a winner product but they just can't get it right. We are almost 5 months into release and i just keep reading DOA issues, people still not getting the best phone for what they paid.

HTC really needs to do something about there manufacturing plants.

I am so happy i did not replace my phone after getting my DOA !!! Phew !! I almost took the gapless one but i had not checked the camera!!

I agree. Half baked devices pushed to the market in a hurry. Both the S4 and the One. It is almost sad that these companies take the Indian buyers for granted everytime.

I just put in a comment on their FB page asking for updates and highlighting QC issues. I guess you guys can do that too and maybe at least let them know that Indian customers cannot be considered as dumping ground !!!

Guys, keep taking DOA's, once u get the DOA again take a DOA for the new phone. In that way day is not far when u can pick up Butterfly S itself from the DOA certificate.

Come on.

Our HTC One is fine and the best. No phone is 100% defect free. Now for camera problem, u l all ll agree that HTC One takes awesome snaps. So wat if u are getting a red surface o so wen u cover the lens with ur finger. What happens wen u remove the finger. Photo comes out well right.

And are u all guys a professional photographers?

We need good HD pics for FB and all. And HTC One is capable of producing such high quality pics. Even in night it given good pics even with the problems u guys are explaining. And 24 hours we dont use camera on a phone so explore othr features.

Even S4 is not free of problems. It has battery issues and lag everywhere.

Be happy with what we have,. It is way better than S4.

And please explore the awesome features of HTC One instead of just finding camera faults.
