Hahaha i love your humour man, but i believe HTC phones are strong against falls unlike SameSung :D Need me to get you one, if they do have the stocks tomorrow? :D
[One (M7) General] :
In short I love this phone but got pretty bored of Blink feed rightaway. Sound, screen and build are amazing!!!
[One (M7) General] davestar7:
Is nobody doing a full charge first?
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
As far as I am aware you no longer need to a full charge first. Not completely sure though.
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
Correct !! The best practice is that when you receive your new phone DO NOT charge. Use it until the battery is fully drained. This is when you give it a good charge. Once one cycle is complete, take it off the charger for few minutes and then put it back on again until it shows the green light.. You are done !

PS. has everyone got the same old charger that came with Desire HD? I kinda liked the ones that came with One X :D
[One (M7) General] davestar7:
The leaflet from HTC does advise to charge before use...?
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
It does however, It is a "best practice" to improve the battery life. A lot of us think that the batteries on the new phones aren't charged. This is incorrect as they are fully charged when they leave the factory. Therefore it is recommended by various users before the phone gets into regular use and daily charging cycles.

I can second that as I have always adapted that practice and got a full days use on a single charge.. Some don't last until dinner time :D
[One (M7) General] Pantaloonie:
This is not correct. The batteries leave the factory with a 'storage' charge of around 40%.

This applies to all lithium ion batteries, and greatly extends their lifetime in storage.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Whenever I get a new phone I always use it on the half charge it has, then i give it its first charge. Have always done that with phones.
[One (M7) General] davestar7:
Interesting. There are people suggesting that it's bad to let a lithium-ion battery run dead.

I've always followed manufacturers instructions to be honest! My batteries always been fine.
[One (M7) General] gallifreyangirl:
Mum advised mine came today gotta wait to get home and sort
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
Regretably i have to decline your offer, as i ordered online today....main advantage of that? you have 7 days to return it if you change your mind. whereas if you buy from the shop you dont:) ( unless its faulty)
[One (M7) General] The Perfectionist:
Are you sure of that? that's against my human rights!!!
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
100% as if you buy online (i;e not face to face) legally it is classed as distance selling, as such you are making a blind purchase with a cooling down period i;e 7 days:)

Whilst if you buy from the shop, you handle the goods etc..... different law

(im only talking about the uk laws btw)
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
I was looking for it, now most I am worried about the 'Option/Menu' can you please take a screenshot or show config of changing behaviour of Back button to use it as option menu, can you configure < back button? how is supplied headphone in terms of sound quality/bass/treble etc?

and any option there to turn-off light in back and home button? and is that any option for call blocking? and SIP inbuilt?:good:

Contrats! I got tracking number today to tomorrow delivery
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
From your pic, i can see why you need the call block feature:)
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Ok it's still on charge when I start playing with it will let you know.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Guess why?

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

OMG I can't believe such a sexy phone how can you leave it on charge:)
[One (M7) General] The Perfectionist:
mean, so mean :laugh:
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I can tell you this for free the sound is amazing man.

It's loud blows every other phone put of the park.
[One (M7) General] happysteveo:
Qn: how long are you meant to charge it for before first use?
[One (M7) General] moosa19:
just ordered online at p4u....says 48 hours delivery if in stock so not sure.

Went to a few shops who say they may get some in tomorrow but even the staff do not know what stock they are receiving.

Jealous of you guys right now
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
I've pre-ordered mine on Orange and i've just had a word with them and apparently its out for dispatch today and i will receive it within 3-5 days. Let's hope it comes for Monday :P or even better, Tomorrow!
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
whoho got my tracking no. delivery will be most likely tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] Steven_belfast:
Lucky for you, still not email.

Was told last night it would be dispatched.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I want one also :( Why is HTC doing this..... Delay is the worst word of the month for me.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Didn't get an email I asked them on live chat in the support section.
[One (M7) General] Steven_belfast:
Done that yesterday and today,

That and the only email I got give different story.
[One (M7) General] Guitarfreak26:
Really not happy with the situation, i never have any luck regards pre orders

I spoke to an advisor yesterday who told me it would be delayed until the 20th but then i got an email stating it would be dispatched today with guaranteed delivery for monday at the latest..

Now live chat ive told me they dont have any stock at all and they will try to get it to me on the 20th if possible..

I ordered on the very first day! Grr
[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
I phoned phines 4 u they told me my one on orange has a delay 20th
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Guys to those who already got it sim free. Is it true that the sim free version don't have LTE?
[One (M7) General] moosa19:
When did you place your order?
[One (M7) General] -josh-:
I phoned phones 4 u they told me it was delayed until the 20th. Got put through to an account manager and she told me that it will definitely be dispatched today, I will receive it in 3-5 working days.

I get the feeling I am being messed around, I rang them on Wednesday and Thursday and was told I would receive it Friday so I have sold my s3 thinking I would have a new phone Friday.

I need a phone for work as I am supposed to be on call, I am getting fed up and thinking about cancelling my order.
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
No it's not true !
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
3rd March Orange upgrade. :)
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
sim free?
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Do you have one? Phonearena said they had a european model and it didn't have LTE.
[One (M7) General] moosa19:
Ah ok

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Yeah £489
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Yes I have one .

In preferwd network mode mine was set at - gsm/wcdma / lte auto .

I'm not sure if the European model is any different to the uk other than the plug .
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
I ordered it yesterday: I got different stories from them regarding stock availability... :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

They are all the same.

Even eXpansys (official HTC distributor) is going to dispatch (at first) UK models plus a free "national" plug as needed.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
That's a relief then. Although on HTC site there's nothing stated that UK and EU are different variants. I thought they were all the same.
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Mine came with a uk plug , the European ones will come with a two pin plug so there not exactly the same .
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Mine only shows GSM/WCDMA auto, should it show LTE option as well, or is that carrier dependant?
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Hi! Is yours also sim free? And where did you get your device? Now I am a little bit worried :( I don't want a device that doesn't have LTE :crying:
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Here's a screen shot , if I did it correctly that is .This is a sim free handset .
[One (M7) General] pricefix23:
Love it - not only did Royal Mail deliver the Silver One I ordered (see prev posts), the bag also included the urbeats headphones and the HTC hardshell.

Thanks p4u for sending me something that you never even mentioned during our negotiations :)
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Voda contract from P4U, unlocked/unbranded although at the minute i'm still using my Tesco mobile sim in it because the Voda one hasn't activated yet, i'm guessing it could be down to the sim.
[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
Anyone had a dispatched email on orange from phones 4 u
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
I haven't had an email but I have my tracking code and they also told me its dispatched. After talking to them on livechat
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Think the Orange/T-Mobile/EE orders are in stock and they have them but phones4u arent allowed to dispatch for 2 weeks. For people with the sim free handset from phones4u I just ordered one. Is it unbranded? The CID being HTC_001 and software x.xx.401.x?
[One (M7) General] Steven_belfast:
No but live chat at this minuet telling me its been dispatched, but they don't have tracking numbers.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Hi! Could you try

1. type *#*#4636#*#*

2. Select Phone information

3. Scroll down and look for the dropdown menu below "Set preferred network type:"

4. Choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto

If it goes back to the original option then your phone sadly doesn't have any LTE support at all.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
have to say, anyone who has the device, just go and download real racing and you will see what i mean.

Super screen, amazing sound, and so smooth!
[One (M7) General] don_24_7:
Although I'm still awaiting my dispatch email notification, I discovered that I am already on the new t-mobile contract for the HTC One. It's not a issue for me as it's actually cheaper than my previous tariff and it lets me know that everything has gone through ok. But I was thinking that if I were going onto a more expensive tariff I wouldn't be too impressed.

As the wait goes on...
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Contact them on the phone or livechat they will probably have a tracking no for you.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
It's down to sim card, tried what you said, and it went back to GSM/WCDMA, put my new sim back in even though it's still not active, and it comes up as GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
[One (M7) General] west2cool:
Silver back to buy now on p4u
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Thanks! :)
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Strange , I'm using my old orange sim card and it's still giving me the choice of lte .
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Some folks telling that their Sim free version dosan't have LTE option in network setting? Can you check your one please?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
It was never not for sale was it?
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Wasn't it?
[One (M7) General] DJ 1:
sim free?
[One (M7) General] west2cool:
look like contract
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Strange indeed.....here are the 2 screen shots....Voda sim on the left, Tesco sim on the right.
[One (M7) General] lordjubblydave:
Yes, it came through about an hour ago or so in my spam folder.
[One (M7) General] manook:
Silver SIM free from p4u. The lte option is present in the secret menu so I'm guessing it's down to my three SIM card not supporting it at present
[One (M7) General] KrishB26:
I missed it :( Guess ill have to pick it up tomorrow
[One (M7) General] jutley:
I just placed a order with phones 4 u silver one free flip case free phone £36pm

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Anyone tell me how long phones4u deliver phone.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Well i ordered on 19th Feb.....so 24 days for me :p:p

Seriously though they posted yesterday and received today.
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
For flip sake!!! A lot of people started getting their deliveries, so I decided to walk into a store today to get my upgrade and the guy told me that they were supposed to get the stock today but they haven't got anything. I told him about some people getting theirs delivered to them but he assured me that no phones4u store had them, I was thinking of of showing him this thread but whatever. He took down my name and number and said he would text me when they get the phone in stock! I tried 3 different phones4u stores and they all said the same thing. I will say though, there was a lot of advertisement for the phone around our town centre here, banners, adverts etc
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Web orders and store orders are completely seperate, i've been in the store where i live over the last few months asking questions about various phones and deals, and every time they knew nothing about the online deals which were running and told me various times that although they are the same company they are pretty much on their own in the stores.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
No p4u store received stock.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Definitely LTE
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Yes that's exactly what I was telling the guy, according to him no stock! Got the same answer at three different p4u stores... People who got theirs delivered enjoy, you lucky people haha
[One (M7) General] combat goofwing:
I have decided to bite the bullet ,never normally but phones get them on contract,but it's 7 months away and going to cost £200 so I figure buy it SIM free and then reduce my contract payments in October,do P4u have the best SIM free deals
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
It does, just some sim APN settings stop it from being shown.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Received my dispatch email. :D

Can't wait.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
He is right none do. One store near me is getting them in stock tomorrow, only the silver I think. The stores may be getting special deliveries tomorrow if not saturday they will have them monday. For the first 2 weeks the stores are selling contract only.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Picked mine up from the post office earlier and this thing is LOUD!!!!

Incredible screen, sound quality, camera is really impressive imo, blinkfeed is taking a bit of getting used to but i do like it!

I wish they'd bring back the long press back button for menu rather than that annoying bar....
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
To anyone concerned, I'm on Orange and I received my despatch email and tracking number and this is what Royal Mail are saying;

We have received your item and expect to deliver it before the guaranteed time on 18/03/13. If you have purchased Saturday guarantee, your delivery will be guaranteed on Saturday

The guaranteed time is probably 1PM, I cant wait! :D
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
so itll be the 18th then,sucks they couldnt do it for tomorrow

i was on live chat a minute ago with phones4u, i went for orange as well. they now claim its dispatched.so i asked them to resend the email as i havent got it yet. Be honest i still think they are talking out of it

by the way,i just saw a comparison video of htc one and xperia z. Height wise they look the same but the xperia has a 5 inch screen,whats that about!
[One (M7) General] Ashalak:
Unfortunately since last night I had no delivery confirmation and as of today no phone..

Called P4U and they said there was an issue with my address despite everything being fine, they told me to ring Vodafone so I did, they said everything's fine call P4U. Called P4U they said it should go through, but the delivery address was incomplete despite recalling that I had given it to TWO separate employees. I'm now waiting to see whether it's going to go through again, but so far no dispatch confirmation!

Great, P4U really are incompetent :(
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Yeah, I'm still expecting them to turn around and say "Oops delayed until the 20th". I originally went for the Black model but didn't want to wait an extra 2 weeks so I switched a couple of days ago :P
[One (M7) General] Steven_belfast:
Well got my dispatched email but no tracking number yet.

HTC One Silver on Orange.
[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
Just had a chat with them mine is still in warehouse missed last shippment :( not a happy chap
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Had mine since 6am (must be first surely!?!) Stunning phone, feels brilliant, looks brilliant, sounds brilliant.

Just need my sim to show up then im sorted!
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Hope its not Monday ;(
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Oh and for some reason Phones 4u sent me my tracking details at 17:30. Nearly 12 hours AFTER i actually had the phone!
[One (M7) General] Steven_belfast:
I was informed the tracking details are sent automatically and can take up to 24 hours after.
[One (M7) General] west2cool:
ordered a silver this morning and just got this in my junk mail.

[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
Anyone know what time royal mail last pick up is at the warehouse
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
6am? Wow they delivered that way early lmao
[One (M7) General] delboy98:
Just opened mine. Huge speck of dust or dead pixel under the screen, right in the middle.

Gutted.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Nah, I work for them :P
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
That would explain it xD
[One (M7) General] numbskull100:
Got tracking number over the phone at 5pm. Still no email confirmation email and the tracking number is not working. Thinking tomorrow is not going to happen.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Which network did you get from? I ordered on Orange contract around lunch time have not received anything yet, live chat early evening they said it was being processed and I would expect delivery the earliest 19th next Tuesday....
[One (M7) General] constructorx:
No problem... Amazing phone

Went on to P4U site yesterday 09:30.

Talked to Matt on instant messaging.

Se said they had stock.

I ordered.

I got an email 09:51 order confirmation.

I got an email 22:27 dispatch confirmation.

I got a delivery today 09:52.

I now have my HTC One here in front of me and it is awesome. First impressions.

1) The screen is just superb. Impossible to see any pixels at these densities.

2) Other people really notice the audio quality. The stereo is very effective.

3) Camera performs very well so far, not taken many shots though.

All in all I was very lucky with my experience. The guys at P4U proved me wrong. I take my hat off to them. :good:
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Phones 4u dont pay for Saturday Special Delivery (it costs more), so probably monday. However keep trying. The tracking number will work as soon as it first enters royal mails system.
[One (M7) General] randombirt:
Sim free?
[One (M7) General] constructorx:
Yeah... that's maybe why I got my phone so quickly. No other account processing involved. I just paid cash (electronically of course).
[One (M7) General] west2cool:
did u get a free flip case
[One (M7) General] constructorx:
No... just the phone, but I am very happy with it so far. Exceptional quality handset. It really is an impressive piece of kit. Other people seem to really notice this also.
[One (M7) General] amsz:
Cant order.

Just me, or when i try to click on sim free silver / black the site doesnt load. just white screen and stops loading.

Someone check for me please:crying:

Found the problem, Chrome didnt work with the particular site..
[One (M7) General] thugangel662:
Is it the lte version?
[One (M7) General] whmcal:
Wooo hoooool!!!! Phones 4 u have delivered good! I had huge worry about being let down by them. But... I ordered on Wednesday and received as promised on launch day (Friday). This phone feels and looks 169% beautiful ;) Have just got it on first charge. NB. Careful putting Usb into socket, it works the other way round to what you'd expect.
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Ordered mine today about 4pm when would I look to get it anyone have a idea?
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
They are saying upto 5 working days.. so potentially they could dispatch tomorrow and be with you on Friday or Dispatch Monday to be with your on Tuesday the earliest..
[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
Do they always email when they dispatch
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
HTC phones have always has 'backwards' usb connectors lol. don't understand why, but doesn't bother me. I ma loving every second of it, all my family members and friends love it and are really impressed with the camera/video, the stereo speakers are amazing and the audio in headsets is fantastic and oh my is it loud, there is no way i can ever listen to music at the loudest or second loudest setting with beats headsets my ears would bleed then eardrums burst!!!
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
I've found the quietest volume setting isn't quiet enough for me!
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
whats the likelihood of royal mail delivery tomorrow?
[One (M7) General] animaleyes76:
Yes
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I got the free flip case, i like the case. Wish it wasn't red on the inside and that it covered more of the left hand side of the phone but its still £25 of free goods and I do like the case overall. Also got my free beats headsets, shame is wasn't the newer design with the flat cables but again £80 worth of free headphones. Now waiting for my free wireless speakers which are due 13-27 days from now seeing as i got my phone now.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

So is mine, not that I am fussed as I dont use 4g anyway lol.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

Lol, when i went into a shop tgoday to test it vs xperia z in headphones the xperia zs loudness was about halfway or there abouts on the one!!

I also showed my mates at carphone warehouse seeing as none of them have even seen the phone yet! was playing a song from the speakers at a notch lower than halfway and the whole shop could hear it!! not that it was overly loud in the shop but still.

Stereo speakers is defo the way forward, I can even hear the bass in the speakers, last phone to do that was the nokia 5800 but these speakers are far superior to those on the 5800.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Royal Mail might deliver it tomorrow, however they aren't obliged to if Phones 4u haven't paid for Saturday Specials.
[One (M7) General] coolfreebies:
my phone has been dispatched today and given a tracking number, so it could arrive tomorrow or Monday... Fingers crossed for tomorrow... So excited... :)

coolfreebies
[One (M7) General] don_24_7:
Apparently it depends on your postcode. Royal Mail delivers on a Saturday to certain postcodes. So if you usually receive post on Saturdays, then the courier should deliver on Saturday also. But unless Phones4u paid extra for the 'Saturday guarantee' on the order (which I doubt they would), it's not guaranteed to arrive on Saturday. It just may arrive tomorrow, but it may not. Fingers crossed!
[One (M7) General] djayyy:
Well, I have been using it now for the last two hours. First impressions? Loving it. Installed SwiftKey straight away as the default keyboard is like wading through treacle I find. Amazing screen, terrific build quality, feels premium, very fast and nippy, call quality is great as well, find the calls had some bass in as well compared to my iPhone 5. The speakers are also great, started watching transformers 3 and it sounded superb in stereo and so loud.
[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
just had a dispatch email :laugh: where is the tracking number
[One (M7) General] dibdin:
Can anyone tell me if the One is available to buy now sim free at phones4u stores, or only available online ?

Cheers
