I respect your tolerance, although i wouldnt live with dead pixels easily;)

and thanks for reporting on damage tolerance, i still advice strongly against using it naked with other sharp objects in pocket, the design is too sleek to damage :rolleyes:

I admire your tolerance I have 1 dead pixel on the top left of the phone and its really bugging me :P so its going back.
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
To be honest, they're not noticeable unless I'm booting into Shadowgun Deadzone (the only game I've got so can't report with other games). Even if I'm actually looking for them I can't find them. That's truly why it doesn't bother me :)

Ironically, I managed to drop it earlier because someone bumped into me as I was walking down the road and, as is typical with my luck, it landed right on a rock and I've now got a faint crack on my screen :/
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:
Dang ... that must suck, luckily I have never cracked a screen ...

except for my first phone (an old nokia 6230i)

Dropping it from the top of a 12 story building didn't do it, ended up shooting it lol
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
sigh...i hope it wasnt me who gave u the bad luck :rolleyes:

for the first time ever im contemplating a cover for this cover against my pouch policy, it has to be a transparent slim cover though, also it wouldnt have helped in your case

you want to post a pic?
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
As it's gonna cost too much, at the moment, to get the screen replaced, I'm just gonna have to put a screen protector on just to ensure rain can't get through it.

I'll get a pic up soon. Just gotta try and get a good enough picture of it first :p

Samsung Galaxy S4 versus HTC One in Central Park

Interesting to see the public reaction... how many people say "I have an iPhone"

[YOUTUBE]3u2f0wIs1wE[/YOUTUBE]
[One (M7) General] Jaa-Yoo:
First, thanks for taking the time to review this badboy. :good:

I must respectfully disagree with your opinion on build quality though.

Build quality is such a big deal to people because when you first encounter the device, its the first thing you notice. A gap, an uneven surface, dead pixels. People notice these physical defects easily and know that they shouldnt be there. Physical defects are a sign of a device being "cheap" and no one wants a "cheap" device that cost $650 and that was touted as having superior build quality. If i bought a Rolex and found jagged edges on it, i'd return it because i expect near perfection from Rolex. And yes, HTC can produce near perfect phones, theyve done it plenty of times. Just seems theyve let QC go out the window for the One.

Oh, and yeah, people are getting tired of hearing about the same problems, but thats how potential buyers get info. If no one complained, we wouldnt know how bad the problem was.

But like i said man, thanks for the review, i'll be getting myself a One...hopefully with not so shabby build quality. :)
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
I can totally understand that it's a big deal to a lot of people, especially with such a price tag on it, but I just don't find it to be such a problem.

Obviously I'd be happier if the phone didn't have these defects but I'm not going to moan about them or get it replaced because it's not such a big deal to me. I think that's mainly because every device I've previously owned, apart from my Galaxy S2, haven't really been great phones so I've always just put up with their problems. I guess I just got used to that :)

I love that the rom community development has taken off, it's perfected this phone.
[One (M7) General] checksum123:
Ok,

1- He keeps talking about the hardware not being inline with the software, but does not give any example, or specifics.

2- He is complaining about the phone being curved.

IMO, this is by far the best design on a cellphone.

How many people use there phone on a flat surface?

I can't remember the last time I used my phone on a flat surface, 95% of the time, I hold my phone while I use it. A phone is meant to be held

in your hand, so the curvature of the phone is perfect to fit the palm of your hand.

If you experience lag, then tell us where you experienced it.

Come on Chris, this is a poor review

Dunno if this been posted already but I found this blog-review of the HTC One by photographer Bryan van der Beek:

http://www.bryanv.com/updatesnews/20...-camera-review

Really nice pics and a good write-up!

This was an interesting note from Brian about the "right side blur":

" There is also a quirky blur to some of the pictures, especially when taking the picture immediately after tapping on a focal point. I've found that by waiting a second or so between focusing and clicking the shutter, the image tends to sharpen considerably."

HTC One in Red is coming

The long-rumoured HTC One in red is now official: it's the same phone you know and love, with an all-metal chassis, treated with a delicious red applied with an advanced anodisation process. The official name of the colour is "Glamour Red". This version of the HTC One is being announced by Phones 4u in the UK; availability details will follow in the coming weeks, but for now, this is a UK-only phone.

Here is my review of HTC One on Droid-Now.
[One (M7) General] sasoq:
Hi guys, I've had my One for weeks now and here's my review of it and i'll try to make it short and sweet.

I'll start with what i like: The style of the phone makes it look dated and sleek and separates it from other phones out there.

The phone is truly snappy and I don't recall any lag when using it.

Dual Speakers, At first i thought it was gimmicky, but after i purchased it I couldn't get over them on how good they sound!

Screen display, Truly the best display I've had, you can easily see the impact when viewing pictures or browsing the web

Sense Ui, From the gallery to the dialer the, look is modern and stylish, which was a BIG + for me.

What I didn't like: The power button and vol buttons. The power button first is akwardly on top of the phone and vol buttons don't stick out enough for Comfortable use.

The OVERHeating issue, It feels really hot in the hand after use of the phone and gets uncomfortable.

Handling the phone, it feels a bit hard in hand compared to other phones i previously had.

Bottom line: The phone's heating problem has become an issue and I will be considering exchanging the phone.

[One (M7) General] amitmiz:
Hi, I recently switched my GS4 I9500 to HTC ONE and that's my thoughts:

-Camera:The Galaxy s4 camera is just way way way way better including front facing camera - the htc is just terrible in this aspect - the images have poor quality and slight zoom ruins them, also the camera interface is much more convenience on the GS4 - It does the same stuff without the need for Zoe.

however The htc highlight feature is so cool!.

-UI:The better UI is definitely the Sense UI, TouchWiz is just terrible compared to Sense,everything looks like gingerbread and there is inconsistency in the UI elements, (some looks like gingerbread , some like 4.2.2. )

in addition the dialer,contacts photos and camera takes for ever to open in comparison to sense where it's very fast.

furthermore , all the samsung exclusive features are mostly gimmicks (although I found Air View, S health and camera features very useful )

Sense in the other hand is very visually appealing and much more "big screen friendly".

-Speakers: The Galaxy is not far behind the One and I don't think that there is much difference in the volume.

-Screen: Haven't noticed big differences besides that the One screen is much brighter on max brightness. (of course there is the AMOLED VS LCD)

-Battery:Galaxy s4 battery is way better under heavy usage and in idle, also it charges in about half an hour to an hour compared to the very slow charging of the One.

-Memomry:The Htc got 32GB which to me is enough, also there is more place to apps on the One as they installs on the internal memory and the SGS4 have only 8 GB avialbe in compersion to 25GB in my One.

-Headphones:WOW! the HTC One headphone quality is so better that the Galaxy, the bass are way better the volume is way way higher.

-Design,Build Qulity:I definitely like the HTC One design more ,however it feels much more fragile than the galaxy s4 that it's plastic and light wight make it feels really good unlike what you would think, actually I think that if I will drop my One it will damage much more severely than the sg4.

-Development:I had the I9500 version which has zero development whereas the One have tons of roms.

In conclusion, I think that the move to the One was justified, at first I thought that I will flash CM at day one but I actually really really like SENSE, however I really miss the SGS4 camera.

Moderator Notice

After having a discussion, we have decided to reopen this thread once again. To make sure this thread stays open this time around there are a couple of guidelines we expect you all to stick to.

*No off topic/irrelevant conversations

*No asking questions which could be found from a simple search OR better suited to a separate thread in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum

*No direct phone comparisons (just as set forth by the rules for our section). Comparing features such as camera/audio quality etc. is fine but no directly comparing the HTC One to the SGS5 for example

The above reasons were what caused this thread to be closed last time so hopefully it won't happen this time around.

The above will also be added to the 1st post so that it can still be seen even if this post is buried by other posts :)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...review-at-least-as-good-as-the-Galaxy-S3.html

It's based on a 20 minute play at the HTC launch event - they even docked a point off the rating. Utterly shameful - getting paid for being trolls.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
You guys realize how impressive the Lumia camera is at low light? But at the expense of shutter speed and device weight due to bigger camera module

The fact that the One is competitive at all is an impressive feat, without increasing camera module size and with faster shutter time than the already super fast One X

Some of these samples beats the lumia by miles, especially in color accuracy

Color me impressed :D

Yeah. The only one where I liked the pic better for the Lumina was the last one. But the bluish tint on everything really gets exposed with the Coca Coal bear. A picture can say 1000 words, they say, and in these pics the Lumina is saying "blue" a LOT. :cowboy:
[One (M7) General] firmbiz94:
Some reviews are so biased its sad...to even say the htc one is comparable to the sgs3 is laughable...I would love to see one thing that is superior on the sgs3 ....this is one of the reason htc doesn't sell...uninformed ppl watching these reviews and believing that buying an HTC device is doing the a disservice ....I don't know what else HTC can do ...lord knows if this thing said Samsung on it , it would be the best device ever ...does Sammy pay these ppl for their loyalty? Or just give out free devicess?
[One (M7) General] :
I agree and am typing this from a GS3,but HTC has thrown products out to the public hoping that they "stick". Samsung is the world leader (sorry Apple) in marketing right now. That sells phones. Pure specs does not. This and this forums obsession with removable batteries and expandable storage. 99 percent of people couldn't fill up their current phone's storage if they tried. Oh and tell me the last time you carried around a spare battery for replacement.

With that said, I'm excited to come back to the One series. The screen was enough for me and reading ebooks on this pentile screens screws with my eyes.
[One (M7) General] ErikWithNoC:
I totally agree with you about the storage and battery thing. My sister (listens to tons of music), father or mother can't fill 16gb. My dad was even thinking of going with the 8gb Nexus 4 because he doesn't know what he would do with the extra space. I have grandiose dreams of playing tons of games on my phone, but I never do so I don't really need tons of storage either (although I like the idea of 32gb).

Same goes for the battery. If it gets you to the end of the day...why the need to replace the battery? I rarely find myself in a situation where I cannot charge my phone whether it by via my laptop, car, or a regular power outlet. I understand there is a small minority who actually wants these features, but I think they pale in comparison to the benefits of not having them (DAT DESIGN).
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Xz has poor viewing angle on both axis and black color looking not pure black but gray its loose to design and screen quality against 'one', I used 18 phone so far but none of them have waterproof and dust proof but they never exposed to water and or dust so waterprof and dust proof is not good marketing or selling point or use full feature for most

Think how many people got problem due to water in phone? At last Sony has poorest viewing angle of all phone at this price range I never ever believe if anyone say xperia has good screen they all get paid for publish good review and camera is average

[One (M7) General] Ashalak:
Both the Phones4u and the Dialaphone review are both pretty much the same, which isn't too surprising as they're both probably using the same phone being part of the same company!

That said it sounds like total bull****, especially with them giving the impression that the XZ's screen is better.. Which having pre-ordered and used an XZ can't be true, because my HOX screen is notably better than that.. Which is the reason why I cancelled my pre-order and went for the One. Not only that but the Dialaphone review says the speakers are 'Tinny' and not very loud 'Compared to external speakers'.. Well no **** sherlock, it's just a shame that no comparison was made to any other phone because the verdict may well have been quite positive, especially when other people who've had hands on have said they're very loud and punchy (For phone speakers).

[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Have to agree. I'm coming from a iPhone 3GS (had since August 2009!!) to the One (preordered) and i initially thought "bugger only 32gb, no memory card" then i looked at the back of my 3GS. It's 16gb, not even filled that up, and got loads of apps i don't even use any more.

The battery I thought could be an issue, but looking at the size of it with it clearly bigger than the 3gs which just about lasts me all day despite it's old age, its bigger than the battery in my mates SGS3 which certainly lasts him all day.

It's all about common sense.
[One (M7) General] :
Yup. I love when people are like, "no Micro sd slot, no removable battery... No dice." Uhm, you're going to dismiss a device with a superior screen and every other usable spec because of your obsession with a removable battery? I doubt these people even leave their parent's basement so charging shouldn't be an issue.

All I know is the GS3 screen sucks compared to my old HOX. Ruins the experience. What are you staring at when you use the phone? Not the micro sd slot.
