Hi guys ,

Sorry if its wrong place to ask this question.

I am considering a new phone purchase but confused between GS4 and HTC One.

Yesterday , I have seen One at a store and used it sometime.Its very smooth experience and I liked the design.

Is One worth the price ? GS4 is 36.5k while One is around 41k.If I negotiate , I may get One for 39k and GS4 for 34k.That's like 5k difference.

What's driving me towards GS4 is SD-slot for media , normal 13 MP Camera , removable battery and Samsung service availability in general.

What's driving me towards One is better Internal Storage (for Apps) , Nice design , Lot of recommendation from friends to get One rather than GS4

I have some questions :

How much time does it take One to reach charging from dead state to 100% ?

How is battery life in general ? After latest updates

Can I turn off Blinkfeed or slow down its updates to save battery life ?

How good is HTC service in India ? Do they respond nicely or difficult ?

I may use it for a long time , How much does battery replacement costs in general If I am out of warranty ? (estimation)
[One (M7) General] satfun123:
It's really worth the money.. I'm using it since may.. it's awesome feel when I hold it in hand..

It tooks around 2.45hr to complete charge.. U can't turrn off blink feed.. I'm moderate user.. full day internet ON and background running processes are YIM messenger, What'sapp, twitter, hangout, HTC sence and using browser.. ofc game also sometime.. getting around 24 to 26hr batterylife(100 to 14%).. I'm using stock ROM..

If u change ROM then u will get better battery life..

In my area service center responding well.. don't know abt battery price after warrenty..

Note: check device fully before u buy..
[One (M7) General] cdnml:
I am not a 'ROM guy' , So I will be using whatever OEM provides.

One more question , How much space is actually usable out-of-the-box ? is it 26GB ? If that entire space is usable for apps , I am going to pick One because 8.x GB on GS4 is too low for apps.

HTC One has anything like scuff issues similar to iPhone 5 ? like chipping off aluminium and fading edges etc. ?

Of course , I will get it in a store which is known to me for a long time , They are going to open the sealed piece in front of me and check everything and then only , I am going to take it.

Is there anything in particular I should check on the new phone other than build issues ?

Thanks
[One (M7) General] anuragvivek93:
Dude take HTC One with closed eyes. It's the best in the market. S4 is really a letdown this year. I just bought my One 2 days ago from flipkart at 36k (There was a 10% discount on Citibank EMI)

Out of the box used space is 7. something GB out of 32

With my use I am getting a battery life of 10-12hrs. (100-15%)

While buying check for gaps problem and redish purple tint in low light although it ain't bothering me much coz I will always be using the flash.

Best of luck with your phone.
[One (M7) General] cdnml:
Thanks.

I researched little and realized that I can use that 25GB for apps/anything

Now , I am fully decided to get the One.

I will be getting the device most probably by the end of this month.

However , I was never able to see black one in real life , almost every store has a demo piece of white/silver one.

Thanks guys , for your help.
[One (M7) General] anuragvivek93:
Actually in my case, every store showed me a black one although I bought myself a silver one. :p

HTC ONE dual sim coming to india !!! http://www.htc.com/in/smartphones/htc-one-dual-sim/

is this true what about the OTA updates ? is that same for both single sim and dual sim phones ?
[One (M7) General] razer1224:
Get the phone and enjoy your life

Your Going for DOA past these month

One has build quality issues by default
[One (M7) General] cdnml:
Its not just Dual Sim , It also has SD-slot for memory expansion upto 64GB but only 16GB storage.

I guess , I will buy this version if it comes by the end of the month or else I am gonna buy the current 32GB version which will probably ship with latest updates out-of-the-box.

No , both have different OTA updates because having SD-slot needs software changes and adding new UI for the menu (as far as i think) and also Dual sim needs lot of changes to network-based things because switching is needed
[One (M7) General] japjit100:
I also enjoy htc one but camera has problem

First see this video http://m.youtube.com/#/videos?t=t&s=mp&client=mv-google

At night full purple camera I don't have any other problem with my device

I waiting for perfect one then want unlock bootloader and root + custom Rom and kernel
[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
It is a fault. The correct camera takes better than expected pics in darkness and i feel flash spoils a lowly lit photograph by making it look artificial, es pecially LED flash. I always keep my flash off. Get a good piece if possible.

Lots of issues you should look into before taking the phone, Search the thread, there is huge amount of info. And yes all of the 25+GB can be used for apps as well so its much better than having a S4 with 4 GB usable for apps. S4 is 35K in flipkart and its price will depriciate like anything because it is a major failure from Samsung when they tried to do an Apple by not changing the phone much. I would say, get the One for anything below 40 and you wont be dissapointed. The Aluminium finish is better than on the iphone. The edges will scuff if you use it roughly. Mine has zero after more than 1 month. I have been using a case from 20th day onwards and a gadgetshieldz also. The One is the phone which Android needed to pull the iphone customers towards it and it is happening. The director of Android, last week, had asked manufacturers to build a Android tablet like the One so that tablets become as famous as the android phones are.

BottomLine : You will not regret the 5K ever !

If you are still not sure about the One, wait for the Note 3. It should be good since a lot will ride on it, for Samsung.
[One (M7) General] nsathish:
Hi,

I have ordered HTC One from flipkart and has opted for 6 months emi in Citibank CC. I am yet to receive the phone.

I have a question for you. I understand the cashback will be credited to your account by citibank after 45 days. Has this (cash back) been mentioned anywhere in bill or invoice or in the order history. Have you received the freebies powerbank and 8gb memory card along with the phone?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) General] razer1224:
I have purple tinit too

Hope you get a perfect build

Your Wasting your time
[One (M7) General] kancherlapraneeth:

[One (M7) General] anuragvivek93:
Didn't looked in the bill till now :D and yes I got the freebies along with the phone.
[One (M7) General] cdnml:
I am completely in Apple Eco-system right now and I love it , no regrets at all.I wanted to try Android for the first time because app market is on par with iOS on Android compared to 2010 or 2009.

If HTC releases multiple versions of One and Butterflies , I am worried if certain variants of One will be ignored for updates.

After seeing One S which is not getting anymore updates , it makes me think twice about HTC.

I will probably go with upcoming 32GB iPhone 5S or 6 whatever Apple calls it, I am not 100% sure about HTC right now

What do you think ?
[One (M7) General] Dr Zenith:
I'm on 4.2.2 and OEM and am experiencing random reboots from 3-4 days (thrice yesterday itself)....anyone else facing this?? Any suggestions??
[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
I think Apple was good but they have long stopped what they were good at i.e. bringing something new and awesome to the table.

All i see these days from Apple is higher resolution, aluminium body and other factors, which for me, are unimportant. I cannot find 1 reason to stick to iphone except 'Android is confusing, iphone just works' statements, ' i have an iPhone 'tag, a high re sale value because of that tag and simple features blown out of proportions to show to the end user. Samsung has been trying the same since the S3 too.

The One is the flagship and it will get updates for at least 18 months as there is a contract between Google and the major device manufacturers that they have to support the devices for that time.

As, for me, i would not worry about these OEM upfates. just waiting for the phone to settle in. Once past the 3 month mark, i am unlocking, rooting and then trying the awesome things that comes up.

Modaco switch is one of those things that i cannot wait to use. A 4.3 Play edition ROM should not be far away either.
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
Random reboots are usually a result of corrupted apps or a rogue app in the background.

If possible, take a complete backup of all the important data that u need from ur fone and perform a hard factory reset.

This usually solves the problem of random reboots. If u continue to experience random reboots then u will have to submit ur fone at the service center for repairs ...

Good Luck !!

This thread is on the verge of being moderated and closed. I suggest we use this thread mostly for useful information and leave the bickering out.

What's wrong? It's a brand new HTC ONE.
[One (M7) General] nitin_ko:
any idea when is dual sim HTC one launching in india!

its shows coming soon.

I have been longing for a premium dual sim handset and this one suits me perfectly. Hope they price is sanely thou i think it will be costlier than the current HTC one released in India.

I plan to buy it since it will work with cdma on SIM 1 ( 800MHZ)

i also do understand development will be less since this will be an india specific build but hope rooting and S off will be possible.

will bug you guys for details as & when i get the handset.
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
Try checking into the server b4 checking for the software update ... it usually shows up right in the middle of setting up the fone for the first time coz it connects to the server to download the bug fix update ...

to checkin u need to go to the dialer and punch in *#*#checkin#*#* n once u get the notification checkin successful, go ahead n check for the update n also make sure ur internet/wifi is working fine ... tht might b a reason too ...

Good Luck ...
[One (M7) General] thunderising:

[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
if that dint do the trick then u need to take ur fone to d service center and they will b able to update ur fone for u ...

u cud wait a few days and keep trying if u dont wanna take it to the service center ... also try a hard reset n then try checking for the update ...

I assume u r on stock rom .... also wuts ur CID ???

how to check htc one is genuine??

is inian version has 4g compitible???
[One (M7) General] DarthSimian:

This is strange, here's what I got:

(IN RED COLOR at the TOP of the app CID GETTER)

[CID is: ]: [11111111]

I'm utterly confused as to what to do. Did HTC give me a defective unit to review?

Can you please tell how did you setup the hathway stb...I have tried a lot but it doesn't work. My tv and home theatre works but stb doesn't, I have even tried setting it up manually but it still doesn't work. And what is this auto detect??
[One (M7) General] DarthSimian:
Check if your Hathway set top box is a Humax model.

I have two set top boxes from Hathway - one from Humax and the other a different brand

In Cable Box setup, I chose Hathway (Humax) and when I clicked Next, it asked me to switch the stb off and click next. And, then it auto-detected the set top box and configured it.

In the other set top box, it could not detect the brand and asked me to set it up manually. It starts asking you to point your remote in front of HTC One and click button by button - first power switch, then volume switches, then channel switches and so on. It is a long, manual process but you can do it. Sometimes this fails but on repeatedly trying, it works. I think you need to keep pressing the remote button for a a few seconds for the mobile to copy it
[One (M7) General] slowy77:
plz help any1
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
Yeah c theres ur problem right there ... u've got the developers edition HTC ONE...

The unit is fine ... its not defective as far as the OTA goes ...

U dont have the Indian HTC ONE ... Indian HTC ONE has the CID HTC_038.

No wonder u arent getting the updates ...

wut this means for u is that u'll get the update wen htc releases it for the developers edition ...

N about flashing the ruu, well u can change ur cid to the Indian CID and follow the procedure to flash the Indian rom and then get the update ...

GOOD LUCK ... !!

Oh and how do u get HTC to send u a review unit ??
[One (M7) General] kmprashant:
Has 4.2.2 made HTC one slower??

Guys jus one clarification...

Has the 4.2.2 update made One slower than 4.1.2 update.

For example wen i try to take multiple screenshots continuously then the first screenshot is taken immediately but the second screenshot for which i have already pressed Power+home button...it comes after 2 to 3 seconds.

Plus wen i go to phone dialer and swipe left for call history...it opens/loads after a half or one second.

When I open GSAM battery app, it takes one or two seconds to load or show the stats page.

Is it normal with everyone or a prob in my phone??
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
Check the seller's feedback and buy.

Yeah, sense tv works but u have to select us or uk zip code and service provider like sky+ for Tata Sky (Just an example)

Nothing related with mmc and custom roms, so no issues,

You will notice it obviously after unboxing, check the sellers return policy before buying, if u find any issues with the device, just send it back.

Indian version is not 4g compatible.

If you any doubts after getting the device, feel free to ask me.

No use doing that ... trust me ...

If ur fone doesnt have any other manufaturing or hardware defecst then dont do it .... its not worth it coz purple/pink tint is there on every htc ONE .... its just how the sensor reacts to even a tiny amount of light in complete darkness or low light conditions ....

No. Every HTC One does not have the issue. I have one from the June Batch and there is absolutely no pink anywhere.

Get you DOA. It is valid for 5 days. If you do not get a perfect piece then you can call HTC cusutomer care and let them know about what is happening in your case.

Not a S/W problem. Same S/W is running on all Ones and most, like mine, do not have the issue.

who like u dont have dis problem ??

Please lemme know so I can c their foAlso nes for myself, coz dis problem exists on all the DEVICES ....

Every HTC ONE i have seen so far has this problem ... I have had 3 DOA's so far, so I have personally tested 4 devices plus 2 more that I opened but dint accept (from may and june lots).

I have friends whose device have the same problem .... so forgive me but I dont believe that ur device doesnt have dis problem either ....

Infact every device I tested always turned up black on start up until I move the camera around n it manages to catch a little bit of light from sumwhere n just then it wud start turning purple/red.

Also, please note that I took some pretty nice low light shots, n by low light I mean candle and I dont c ne purple/red tint. Altho it does show purple/red occasionally but it doesnt rele matter when clicking the foto ....

Also, this problem is there only at higher iso but at 800 its always pitch black right ??

So its only when its trying to capture more light in dark settings that the imgae turns purple/red and its not there when using flash ...
[One (M7) General] Raven'sSight:
Yup it does :(. Have fine inside a Gadgetshieldz so no issues. It is just paint. You can take it off completely if jagged edges bothers you with nail polish remover !

Great :D

Enjoy the phone then. As for complete black, do a search on this thread, i had posted a complete black photo sometime back. I am talking about the pink tinting of the camera when you put your finger on the lens thing.
[One (M7) General] alappancholi:
yes even I referring to the purple/pink/red tint, and yea I have seen the complete black foto when u posted it SOMETIME BACK ... i saw it when u posted it ...

Keep ur fone on ur bed or a flat surface in a dark room or in low light conditions and then c wut results u get ....
