Sry .what do you need ?

I am a bit angry at HTC atm sry.. ****ingstupid first batches issues
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
what did you expect guys, i mean really

comes April 29th ill be collecting defects from the SGS4 launch as well

and do i even need to bring up iPhone5?

oh boy, im not willing to live this drama

see you on the other side ;)
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:
AW: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Do you want a picture with the cover of the speaker so you can see the gap or the while cover off (it falls off - that's what I call unibody lol)..

I know these batch issues are appearing every time but why can't they glue it correctly..
[One (M7) General] XL2001:
Interesting I actually think the Lumia pictures look better.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
the entire speaker cover falls off?

that's a mega defect
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
you missed the point completely

the nokia takes better pictures because of the exposure time

the One with its much faster shutter speed, its taking at a fraction of the Lumia 920 (2x)

what does this mean? unless you like to take your photos pausing or with a tripod, the HTC One produces much faster reliable results

the lumia meanwhile is agony at low light, you have to take a few just to make sure you not getting motion blurs

bah....alas alas i give up
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:

You will be shocked by the picture .. will be at home in an hour ,will upload it then ..
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
@ Hamdir.

See what i mean what will happen if the device fell down on hard surface, Jonas lost front cover without even dropping it :P What's next down cover fells off after another 2 days , then you have HTC One with removable screen :P HA @ Sammy funboys , they have removable buttery but Jonas have removable front cover for now ! At this rate i'm expecting removable screen in 2-3 days ! Take that samsung :P + he has now 95DB sound instead of original 93db :P

On a serious note , i'm sorry to hear that Jonas. I hope you'll get the new one without any flaws , couldn't resist myself not making a joke outta this :P

Edit:

Btw this brings up next question. If the glue isn't top quality does this mean front cover will fell off over the time when exposed to heet while gaming etc :confused::rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] barondebxl:
Wow dude this is sad man. Everything has to be compared to samsung. Why oh why.

jesus

its a ****ing mad house all over again

there are people posting pics of one pixel sized gaps

Jonas' unit is a big defect and not an optimal sample for all devices

Shan the One X was glued and the iPhone is glued and all the devices with glass back are glued

for what its worth, it always worth remembering glue needs a while to settle

so i wouldnt abuse a device before 15 days

im out, im ****ing out, thats it

this is the last you see from me

see you guys a while, good luck replacing your devices and looking forward when we pass this

to remind you the One X had to worst defects in history during launch? and now every one x i open is flawless, you can't break it even when you try

ciao

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
first because you just invited all the trolls of the world (not you but everyone moaning)

suddnely we have deatch grip complaints when covering the whole ****ing phone? every device in the world does

defects? EVERY PRODUCT LAUNCH ON GOD's earth suffer from higher numbers of defects, its the cost of modern high speed tech world and yet everyone is generalizing already

so why bother explaining all this all over again, we do it for every freaking phone release here on XDA and its always so shocking news to everyone

they invented warranties for this kind of **** so all u have to do is use it

alas!
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:
sry for giving these people feed...

i know every product has it and i knew the risk.. but i expected htc learning from the one x launch....

we will stay in contact.. if o2 gives me a new device right away ( i don´´t they will do that) i am okay...

The phone is simply awesome and beautiful.

Showed it off to some friends.. One of them took instantly pictures of it because he loved the design so much !

[One (M7) General] Shan89:
Thx for posting mate. Too bad like hamdir under said this gonna bring us sh1t load of trolls.

Yeah we know it's first benches dw i'm sure HTC Wont let this happen with future benches , they can't if they want to have success with HTC One.

As for one x i don't recall we had any parts felling off.

Anyway i really hope i'm wrong regarding drops , i hope this wont be felling off asap the device drops for the 1st time.
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:
Jonas' phone is from o2, they got their batch really early .. it is completely normal that some devices in the first few batches have some small defects .. in his case the clue wasn't applied correctly.. no big deal really .. it will be replaced :)

All the One's I have held in my hand had no problems at all, felt solid and no gaps, no parts coming loose, nothing! :)

Having a defect like the one on Jonas' phone has, is like winning the lottery .. just in a bad way ;)

And just in case you do get a faulty device .. like I said, you get a new one .. and hey, that way you get to unbox it twice.. I would be honored :D

(Love the feeling of unboxing nice tech stuff)
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:
thats exactly my point :)

bad luck for sure...

Mine is already unlocked and rooted but that shouldn´t be an issue as its definitly hardware and i couldn´t break such thing with any root app lol :D

Ordered a second time, deja vu, Device stolen again....

Was today in a o2 Shop with the Device in Front of me, couldn't pick it up cause the other 2 Devices haven't been erased from my Data yet.... It's like the One would not like to be mine....

Sorry for OT...
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:
sorry to hear that .. have you tried to remotely install "plan b" to track your phones?

I would also recommend installing "prey" .. with root access it goes in so deep, you can't really remove it unless you have mad skills or know where it is ;) as soon as someone puts in a different sim, it detects that and sends you a notification .. from their sim :D with location data etc.

BTT: People are really dying to get their hands on the One .. check ebay .. it's insane .. people are bidding 900€ .. thats over 1k$ for it .. even on branded devices ... have one coming in the mail, so I might sell it and get 2 :D black and silver .. so I don't have to decide any more haha

What upsets me about this picture as that it reveals that the One isn't even remotely close to being a true unibody. Shame.
[One (M7) General] amsz:
sigh..

You have to be kidding right? How do you think they would have placed the speakers inside the phone?? The whole phone except the front is ONE piece of aluminium block machined into sexyness.

There is always bound to be a similar technique of building like htc did on the One.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
+1.

I remember thinking the same after seeing the early press-shots. "What do they mean by uni-body when there is clearly several different materials used. There was talk early on of the plastic sandwich being both "Ceramic" and "All Metal construction".

Neither is accurate.

[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
There would have been ways of sliding the speakers under the front bezels before fitting the screen.

The photo of the chaps handset with the front Aluminium fallen off, shows it to be a much flimsier construction than "An All metal construction" would imply !

[One (M7) General] epicfailguy2:
I LIKE the fact that the speaker grills can be removed easily.

Allows for easy cheap (im 100% sure spare sparts will be available at cnn.cn for example) replacement of scratched, chipped and worn out top and bottom front grills later on.

And why not a black one with silver front speakers that would be so cool.

I don't get it. It was clear from the press shots that the front is separate from the back. I don't know why anyone would have thought otherwise - nor do i think this will take away from the look/feel of the device.

New German Review

New German review (translated with Google Translate):

http://translate.google.com/transla...p://www.notebookjournal.de/tests/htc-one-1981

Interesting measurements:

- Brightness: 385cd/m²

- Contrast: 1100:1

- Viewing angles good but not perfect (I checked the German model in store today, and can confirm this)

- Quadrant: 12,200 (again can confirm from my own testing today and this is in line with other reviews)

- Vellamo HTML5: 2372

- Sunspider: 1,576.9 ms

Throughts regarding the screen measurements

I remember some measurements above 400cd/m² for the screen, so again, like with the camera, wondering if HTC is not building different screen parts...

So this confirms the fact that HTC is paying more attention to battery life. They have realized that Samsung by having dimmer screens had an unfair battery advantage in most reviews, so they are now in turn taking ownership of battery stats.

+ points:

Display

Sound

Speed

Design

- points

The reviewers prefer the iPhone 5 and Experia XZ camera and their HTC One pictures indeed do not look good. I am worried that different camera modules may be built due to the shortage on camera modules. So I am not going to purchase my unit now and will wait until the shortage has settled. I don't want an inferior unit.
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:

[One (M7) General] HebeGuess:

Why not try it yourself, you are the user not we. Please keep in mind that it will certainly costly more battery drain during the first few days as Google now learning your usual activities, just let it be. It will settle down afterwards.

One of the best review I read:

http://m.androidcentral.com/htc-one-review

Tapatalked from my GNex
[One (M7) General] puremind:
HTC seems to have different models with different screen brightness and as a result also different battery life!

I did some research and it now seems pretty clear that HTC is using two different screen types in the One, just like it did use both Acer and Sharp in the One X. The Sharp had the higher brightness and higher color temperature.

The same pattern can be observed for the One so far:

- 26.02.2013 RUS 3dnews.ru: 382cd/m² and 1,258:1 contrast | 6,938K color temperature

- 14.03.2013 GBR uk.hardware.info: 426cd/m² brightness | 977:1 contrast | 7,820K color temperature

- 14.03.2013 NLD Tweakers.net: 489cd/m² | 1159:1 contrast | 8,166 color temperature

- 19.03.2013 DEU Notebookjournal: 385cd/m² and 1100:1 contrast

- 20.03.2013 DEU Computerbase.de: 483cd/m² brightness | 1100:1 contrast | 6,600K color temperature

- 20.03.2013 GBR pcpro: 481cd/m² brightness | 1202:1 contrast

- 20.03.2013 DEU Chip.de: 479cd/m² brightness: 1020:1 contrast

As can be seen. there doesn't seem to be any pattern in terms of date or market so far, with both screen versions appearing in German reviews.

Anyways I will be measuring the screen on my device as soon as I receive it. I much prefer the lower brightness version because it will use up much less battery in daily use. At least until a custom ROM enables to put a cap on maximum brightness as needed.

So this also explains why battery tests have been a mixed bag. It will depend a lot on the maximum brightness of the screen on your specific HTC One version!

I will definitely be measuring my screen before I decide whether or not to keep my device! There will be a second German review published soon on notebookcheck.com, and they usually also test the screen, so keep your eyes open.

Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

Wth. Why htc does that!!!

Makes US confused lol
[One (M7) General] puremind:
Shortage of part supplies...they need to use different suppliers to be able to fulfil orders...especially at the start. I remember this being the case back in the days for my Touch HD2 as well - different screens in Hong Kong and in Germany.

The same is likely happening with the camera considering the reviews are so different in their final verdict!

This is not only HTC though, the same practices are used by most hardware manufacturers, I have seen it with Dell, Toshiba, Asus, etc...
[One (M7) General] notsointeresting:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

If they're using different camera sensors that is a little upsetting. Seeing as they have so much riding on proving the quality of the camera

Htc Two(?)

I`m gonna jump ahead of the wagon and hope not to get ran over... what htc has done with the one is something that has never done before, they created the most beautiful looking mobile phone ever! and as we know packed it with top notch components and were very brave with the camera and sense 5, regardless if the phone will sell or not and i`m sure it will once people will be able to buy it, htc has shot them selves in the leg by setting the bar so high with this phone that next year i doubt that they will be able to repeat the wow factor that this phone has unless they will go the Samsung/Apple way and keep this magnificent design but just improve on the inside, for me i think that this is the phone that i would like to have for the next 5 years or so:D and i really doubt that htc or anyone can better this phone. do you guys think that htc can make a better looking phone next year?
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

The design is so amazing and brilliant that I hope HTC keeps a similar design for next year. They can always tweak the bezel size and speaker layout. Would be a great achievement if anyone can top the design of the HTC one. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Playing with it for about an hour was one of the greatest mistakes I've done. I'm getting really impatient. If I did not know bow this phone felt on the hand I might not be so impatient.
[One (M7) General] naouris:
The speakers layout is perfect right at the front where it should be and the bezel is impossible to change without moving the speakers to the back, like i said before Htc has created a phone that is perfect! i just wish that it will come to Australia already:(
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

As technology moves forward they might be able to make the speakers smaller and therefore minimize bezel.
[One (M7) General] XL2001:
Actually sales will have an impact on whether we see an HTC TWO ;) In my mind there's not a doubt that it will sell really well but currently demand is outstripping supply so that's a big problem. Can you imagine if they started their big marketing push now?

As far as next years model. I bet it stays the same with bump in specs, new processor, 8 ultrapixel cam and maybe different colors perhaps. I can live with that.
[One (M7) General] stephen2282:
Re: HTC Flagship 2013 - HTC One - Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 - Mega Information Thread

This is true, they may have that 2 pieces to be glued on so it will be easier to repair the speakers or remove the screen.

Its only one in a million people. Nothing is perfect. Get over it.
[One (M7) General] Tuborg68:
Maybe sounds weird but I think if you want to pick a manufacturing flaw on a device, what happened to poor jonas is the "best" kind of problem. A glued joint that comes loose is easy to analyze and correct in manufacturing process. Much worse with dead pixels, yellow spots wifi drops and so on.

So far it also seems like a very isolated occurance. Haven´t seen any reports or reviews mentiong problems with that piece being loose or coming off.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
There will 'ALWAYS' be some devices that slip through the net regardless of manufacturer. You wouldn't need to hunt very hard to see that every single Phone, Computer, TV or Gadget ever made by anyone has always had some returns for faults or pre-use damage.

People may also say, but HTC have barely made any 'One's' yet....but then realistically if you could find out the figures for the amount that have been produced already it'll be way in to the thousands if not millions already of which less then 1% will have faults in some way.....For example if HTC have produced 20,000 units so far (I'm sure this amount is probably totally wrong so don't all jump on me, but if even 0.2% of this stock has issues then there will be 40 faulty/damaged units out there.....And of course someone is going to be the recipient of one of these units....Just because you've been on of the unlucky 0.2% doesn't instantly mean that the entire device range is poorly made and crap etc etc.....(again I'm only using 0.2% as an example, there's no way it'll be close to 1% faults but at the moment I doubt there's any way to know a real measure)

Anyway, just an example. I'm sure HTC's standards and monitoring are to a very high level and I'm sure they will be aiming at 100% perfection but there will always be an element of human error variant along the way be it in one of the checking stages, the initial manufacture or even the delivery of the device.....I'm sure more then 99% of us will receive perfect lovely phones as soon as is possible!
[One (M7) General] Livebyte:
It will always be better than Samsung, not a single doubt.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
to be honest I'm sure Samsungs checks will be just as stringent as HTC's (if not more with the extra budget they have!) And I'm sure that the faulty devices will be similar in percentage as to HTC or any other Manufacturer......But IMO (and I think what you're trying to say) the One will always be built to a higher standard due to the time spent and materials used...
