After 24hrs of use its amazing. Difficult to put down its that good.

Not really an issue but its LOUD made my wife jump due to the volume.

Everyone who has seen it as what is that?

It stands out different from anything else in the market.

Battery is surprising good, far better then iPhone, HOX, S3 par with Note 2. I used to charge N2 that beast everyday.

IR remote is fantastic have my Sony TV, Skyhd box and Bose system all controlled by my phone. Very easy to setup.

No marks or scratches yet on the body

Camera very responsive and lots of options, take me a while to try all of them out. Zoe is a good feature on e you know how to use it, very useful.

Doesn't heat up.

Blink feed is there and use when required, it does have its uses.

Keyboard is good and very accurate.

Love UI completely different from previous version of sense.

No lagging whatsoever no crashing whatsoever.

Don't buy a case at all... what's the point of buying a premium phone if you're going to cover it up with lesser material. Just doesn't make sense. HTC might have as well not wasted their money and built a plastic phone.
[One (M7) General] fix-this!:
i doubt the battery life is on par with the note 2.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I agree with you but unless you are extremely careful a case is advisable. I'm waiting for a case which still show cases the design of htc one and at the same time protects it. I had such a case for my iPhone 5.
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
I really can't wait to get mine now :D

Played with HTC Zoe yet?

I definitely agree with those who said not to get a case for it though. I don't generally get cases for my phones anyway but this phone is too beautiful to put a case on.
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
I have to confess that my initial omissions of my One are mostly negative - but that's what usually happens when I buy something new, I keep tripping over things I'm not used to and get irritated by them. Once I get more used to it I begin to appreciate the good points more.

Current niggles:

- You can't actually hold the damn thing without dropping it because it's so thin at the edges there's nothing to get a grip on.

- Because the back is curved, if you put it down then relatively little is actually in contact with the surface, so it slides off very easily.

- Unless your hands are operating-theatre clean, the back instantly looks filthy as soon as you handle it.

- Unless you have massive hands, the power button is out of reach.

- Power and volume buttons are flush with the case (rather than protruding) which makes them difficult to press.

- The speakers really are woefully lacking in bass. I tried playing Saint-Saens' organ symphony, and you can barely hear the organ at all! (By contrast, Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor sounds quite good).

- Virtually every app I run gives me a 3-dot menu bar, even when there are no menu items on it, which pointlessly takes up screen space. In the pre-production version you could re-map a long press of the back button to emulate a menu key, which suppressed the on-screen menu bar, but this option has since been removed.

- The above are minor quibbles, but the one thing I really am VERY disappointed by is the screen. I had hoped that (despite one or two indications to the contrary) it would turn out to be as good as the screen on the Butterfly or the One X, but sadly it isn't - not even close. The black level isn't as good as I was expecting, viewing angles are surprisingly narrow, and (worst of all) the colour temperature/white point is pushed way into the blue. You don't notice it at first, because the UI is designed around it - default wallpaper is very blue! But after a while everything starts to feel increasingly cold and grey, as if you're looking at it on a cloudy day and missing the sunshine.
[One (M7) General] beka:
Got mine yesterday every time i took it out in the train people were staring at it. To top that off when i got off my cab back home the driver asked me what phone it was and if he could see it, he was amazed by it :D

I love how smooth and lag free it is. In the past four months I've used an S3 and Nexus 4 the ONE is 10x faster

The screen is awesomely crisp and the colour reproduction is perfect

It went off the charger at about 3pm yesterday and its been on 1day 2hours with heavy usage(lots of calls, music, made lots of zoes and watched some youtube). my battery is currently on 13 percent so I might get an extra hour off it.

Speakers are superb and the IR remote is awesome i dont need to spend 5 minutes searching for remotes anymore.

I just got two issues with it. First is placement of the home button and second not being able to select my own preferred sources on blinkfeed. I had to switch location to US in order to get Engadget and theverge on it.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I've had my note since launch and battery lasts me about the same time, this is my experience of course. Everyone uses their phone differently.

I've got live wallpaper set on my one which I never had did on my Note 2 because of battery and performance issues but HTC one isn't bothered at all, I can hear it saying is that the best you can do.:p
[One (M7) General] catachresistant:
This is interesting. Anyone else have any comments on this?

Could it be possible that you've got a defective screen, or do you think there's a panel lottery type thing going on here?
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
Look for the poetic atmosphere cases.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
There is never going to be a perfect phone, it's impossible. Htc one is the best phone out there, I'm looking for issues with my phone and there probably are but none found which have made me regret buying it.

Every phone I've had I've found issues which I just couldn't get over to give you but a few recent examples:

iPhone 5 - screen too small and iOS.

Note 2 Lte - plastic, poor poor screen resolution, amoled,TW

S3 - plastic, amoled, TW

HOX - software glitches

Xperia t - UI, crashes, lag, crap software

I think I will be sick of this by next year when a new better version is launched by HTC.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
I'm not experiencing any of that.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
That's the one. Have to wait till April but it looks good man.

No idea what he's talking about. Might be faulty.
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
I already ordered one. Should be released by April 5th
[One (M7) General] MasterThiefGarrett:
I still have the Note 2 now, but definitely going to buy the HTC One :)

Please everybody stop praising it you're making it hard for me NOT to spend the cash on it ;) ;)

However... "poor poor screen resolution" on the Note 2??

It's 1280x720, all the major phones of 2012 have that... at least the display isn't Pentile (puke) like the S3 and the S4 too now... although I hope for future S4 owners the Pentile won't be too visible, after all the pixels are gonna be very very small ;)
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Everything seemed stretched if you compare both S3 and Note 2 you can tell the difference a massive difference.

Ow yeah the one is a beautiful phone. Lol
[One (M7) General] XL2001:
Those are great cases! The one for my HOX looks almost the exact same. If there is a white version I'd stay away from that as it turns brownish after a while.
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
It's not impossible. The colour temperature I'm seeing probably agrees with the colorimeter analysis at tweakers.net, I was just hoping they might have had a defective one, or measured wrong. (Earlier colorimeter readings from a Russian site gave very different numbers). If I have time tomorrow I'll take it into town and try and do a side by side comparison with demo models in-store.

But sadly HTC does have form when it comes to blue-push. My HD2 was extremely blue, and the One X+ considerably more blue than the One X or the Butterfly.

I should say, the viewing angles, while not great, are much less annoying than on the Xperia Z: when you look at the screen off-axis, it gets darker, but you don't have the blacks-turning-pale-grey problem that you get with the XZ off-axis.
[One (M7) General] twizller:
I heard the HTC One has great viewing angles? At least from the reviews i've read, along with an amazing screen. It seems you are the only one noticing this "blue-push"
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
Anyone else noticed it? Obviously the "unibody design" doesn't include the front !

The lip is just under ... Here (on both sides)
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Can't really feel it but I can see it if I look extra closely. However, I wish I hadn't looked so closely, as I then noticed a very tiny little nick in the aluminium edge. You have to angle the phone the right way to get the light to catch it and I only saw it because I was looking under such bright spotlight. The thing is if you look at any phone under a microscope you will find something wrong with it. Nothing is perfect. At least its not like the iPhone 5s where so many arrived with really obvious nicks and paint chips (black version) as well scratches on the back aluminium!
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Have an S3 and it has served me well but the S4 is more of the same so can't wait to get this phone, i didn't think it was released yet where did everyone buy there phone!?
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
can you take a macro shot of your own phone as an example? its very hard to tell in that image
[One (M7) General] manook:
Only noticed it after checking. Ive used it all day and not even felt it so its no biggy for me...
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
pics plz someone with a camera with good zoom!
[One (M7) General] ethan3686:
I heard that the screen isnt that bright bcoz on the emphasis on more dark side of the spectrum..it is around 480 nits which is quite gud..but due to the dark hue it looses brightness..I guess thats why it doesnt 'pop' that much!
[One (M7) General] inoplanet:
I also have an S3(now back in the box) and since it's been like 8 months since I have it I got bored of it a little.And since S4 looks the same,and touchwizz will probably bore me extremely fast again, i thought yesterday morning to buy the handsome HTC One.

This phone is absolutely fantastic. It's gorgeous, sound on it is brilliant and I just love the Sense 5. Absolutely no lags. Some features from Samsung are absent,some new ones are present. But overall I think it's way cooler than touchwizz,and smoother.

I was excited when S3 launched,but the HTC One should be viewed as the best phone right now without doubt.
[One (M7) General] RoachPapa:
I own that Phone since 7-8 days and its just amazing.

Everything is the best what you can get now.

Design and Quality is better then even Apple iPhone.

Speakers are perfect and its smooth. You can play any HD Game, will never lagg.

I think i will hold this phone atleast 4 years.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
No. It's way more obvious than that. Almost as though the small lower grill is glued slightly too low.

I'll try and get a photo in daylight tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] TeamDraven:
So you like it?
[One (M7) General] eat1981:
Mine has it in the same place and the glass in that corner is also slightly unflashed. Mine also has a paper thin gap at the top and bottom as reported by a German guy a week or so ago. I noticed it straight away after unboxing yesterday.

Went back to Three this morning to see if they had a replacement, no luck, they only received pre-order stocks and all handed out. Was told they would call me when they have more stock. Fingers crossed that's sooner then later.
[One (M7) General] Pr20:
Are you guys in the UK? Just wondering how you got your hands on one (no pun intended)?
[One (M7) General] TeamDraven:
A lot of people that pre ordered when first able to has initial stock secured for release.
[One (M7) General] umd:
Except the last one, these are best bad things I heard for a newly released smartphone. And almost every review I read says One has the best screen on the market. This might be a faulty one or different manufacturer thing again.
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
Htc is no longer "quietly" brilliant :) BOOOOOOOMSOUND ,, appropriate name...l
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
No problems with the screen on mine atall easily better than the one X, best screen i have ever looked at one a mobile/tablet

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

One of my mates came around my house at about 8pm tonight from across london just to play with the phone!the speakers alone sold him then he had a look at the camera and in headset audio. he now wants one and is getting one at the end of the month when he has the cash!

thats 6 people now who were in for the S4 or XZ now want the one after seeing it since yesterday evening!!
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Personally I would like HTC to bounce back as they can produce brilliant phones given the opportunity, they are bold and innovative. Samsung have the funds but not the innovative minds and boldness to create something like the One.

Htc one is good for android and smartphone fans. Piece of advice for LG, Sony, Samsung ditch the plastic use premium looking and feeling materia, that would be Apples worst nightmare. As an android fan the only reason I bought Iphone 5 was because of the build quality, there was nothing like it available in the android market, until now that is! HTC have build something even better

Well done HTC.
[One (M7) General] salada2k:
I agree with that totally. Sometimes you need to be pinned up against the wall and desperate, to take the risks you need to take to succeed. I believe this is HTC and the One.

Samsung just make a bigger S3. Apple just make a smaller iphone 4. Stick to their so called 'winning formula' = BORING.

HTC is daring to be different. And I think they will go down in history as the company that killed the MegaPixel. That's pretty awesome. They will forever be remembered for that!

I really hope the One steals everyone hearts this year!
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
Man, I should not have read this thread. Just makes me that more impatient....

Seems this phone may bring them back to the old days, well at least to compete and steal a little thunder away from the galaxy fans.

I know it has swayed me. :)
[One (M7) General] godutch:
I don't have a One yet but I was wondering if it is possible to turn the HTC logo into a menu button? On the One X the entire glass display is touch sensitive even the parts where there is no LCD
[One (M7) General] itsmarkxd:
How'd you guys get your phones? seriously. is the phone delayed or what? if it is how come some people already have one?
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
The Black version got delayed, not the Silver, a few of us changed our order to get the Silver version on release day.:laugh:

We were being told it was because of a software issue, but it would appear that they never made enough Black versions.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Released in Germany, then the UK.
[One (M7) General] itsmarkxd:
This is in the UK right? im here in the USa still hoping for it to come to T-mobile soon

you preordered it? silver looks so much better than black. Is black even titanium?
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
They're aluminium not titanium.
[One (M7) General] aydc:
A question to people who complained about the power button being hard to reach or hard to press: Does it get better once you get used to the phone after a few days?

That's my only concern with this device. I'm going to buy it once it's available anyway, but I hate phones with hard to press power and home buttons. The two most often pressed buttons should be the easiest to press, not hardest.
[One (M7) General] itsmarkxd:
yea sorry accidentally typed out the wrong metal. From video reviews I saw the black one looked like a soft touch material like on the DNA

i hope it releases soon here in the states :crying:

please htc dont leave your loyal customers in the dust when the next android update comes.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
I don't notice a problem with it at all tbh. It's slightly more recessed than my iPhone but i've never had a problem pressing it or going searching for it even with a case on. It only requires the lightest of touches anyway.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
Here you go, guys.

Can't really see it with the naked eye. But can definitely feel the lip.

Any body else confirm (or not). Starting to bug me now, as I unconsciously feel for it every time I pick up the phone.
[One (M7) General] ipmanwck:
That looks sharp ! Sand it down and will be fine. Lol

[One (M7) General] :
I'm in love with this phone.. best one ive ever had and as you can see I've had a load. Speakers are mind blowing for a phone.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
What about your Z? :P
[One (M7) General] :
Its on my desk.. collecting dust. Sad times for my Z. :'(
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Kind of on topic a mate of mine brought the htc one from a p4u store yesterday by sheer luck so I got to have a play around with it yesterday a fair bit and here are my views.

First and foremost I cancelled my pre-order due to the 3 dot menu bar but when using the phone it's not that obtrusive as the screen is quite long.

The screen is amazing with no back light bleed, dead pixels and is super sharp

Very fluid and not a hint of stutter or lag

1Gb of available free ram pretty much all the time

Launcher takes some getting used to I kept on trying to swipe left and right

Camera... Got a SLR so enough said about that one but compares well to my Lumia 920

Build quality is second to none

It was 58% charged when it was unboxed and with pretty much constant use (3hrs 37 mins screen time) (4 hrs battery) the battery finally gave up which matches my friends Nexus 4 for screen time when that was fully charged.

After seeing the SGS4 video's and realising how much touchwiz has not changed since I had a GS2 (horrible UI, not matching holo whatsoever!) I have decided to bite the bullet and get a HTC One again.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
WELCOME BACK!:highfive:
[One (M7) General] :
You wont regret it, its top notch. Yeah that 3 dot menu bar is annoying but can get rid of it with root. Lets hope HTC give us the option to get rid of it soon again..
[One (M7) General] dibdin:
I'm seriously thinking of buying the One even though I have an Xperia Z. The Screen on the One looks so damn good, that it's hard to ignore.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
thats concerning!

any more photos of this from anyone else?
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Hence why I didn't get the xperia z because the one is much better by a greater distance from top of scotland to the bottom of cornwall

atleast when the z collects too much dust you can wash it off hey! (seems to be the most common feature adertised to customers in shops, even more than the camera! i mean seriously if waterproof is the best thing your advertising to me about the phone rather how good camera/video, screen or sound qulaity is then ...... oh dear. If i was still working in a phone shop and was trying to sell the z the waterproofing would be something I added on last. Reason being samsung and apple have sold millions of phones than are non waterproof!! also all my local stores combined have sold about 40 XZs since it was launched and nearly half of those have been pre ordered (phone delivered to stores, for customer pick up)

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

No such problems here! get and exchange i say.
[One (M7) General] salada2k:
Yeah I returned two GS3's both on launch day for build quality issues and then a month or so later the backplate cracked. I returned the same amount of iPhone 4s's for build issues too. So many people complained about something knocking around inside their 920's when they got them. Don't stress these things happen to everyone just grab another one :)
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Found a bit of a nasty fault that at least one other person has. Make sure NFC is switched on and then try the FM radio. There is a terrible interference pattern. Can also hear some faint clicks when the earphones are plugged in and no sound is playing. Note the screen must be on as NFc switches off when the screen goes off. Switching off NFC and everything is quiet
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
duh, switching on nfc gives off radio waves, the fm module must be somewhere near the nfc module, thus the interference
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
There is also a faint continuous clicking if you just connect earphones with nothing playing. Didn't happen on the one x or s3. I can understand why its happening but it means something isn't shielded properly internally
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
im not entirely sure, malaysian htc one's are bound for april end.

damn

shieldings concerned, might be small chance to get such units.. hopefully.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
Just been onto customer services. They're going to exchange it (in store). When they eventually get more stock. TBH, I found P4U very helpful on the phone.

(fingers crossed then)
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
That is excellent stuff hopefully your new one (pun intended) doesnt have any issues. I find phones 4 u the best retailer tbh, i am sure they were nominated UKs best high street retailer, sure it said that on their website and tbh I am not surprised! always used to think carphone was better until last year and half,
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
You don't have the same problems with your phone then?
[One (M7) General] Hx11:
No problems like that on my phone...phew...I am sure p4u will sort it for you.

I do find the back button a little hit and miss...I don't have huge hands but I keep hitting the screen. It does not always respond...but otherwise I am in love with this phone!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY8zL9Fxu1k&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Nope no such issues. Infact no issues with my phone atall so far and fingers crossed, touch wood and all that.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
thats good to know - hopefully the bad ones are just a few that slipped through the net
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
I had a look at a two Ones, and I can see a slight rim at the points indicated in the picture, although not as bad as the one shown. I think the tolerances of the parts there are not quite optimal and probably vary a bit from unit to unit. I doubt many would notice it but I fully appreciate why the original poster reporting that problems wants a swap.

As for the NFC interfering with the FM radio, I have confirmed this on 4 handsets so far. So it seems they all do it....probably many will simply never notice.
[One (M7) General] Buckster666:
Had mine since Friday, beautiful phone, only issue I've had is amazon app store won't work, anyone else had this issue?
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Not on mine it doesn't, just tried with 2 different headsets, and i've got stupidly good hearing.

But NFC does make interference though, but thats logical and i can't imagine its something you'd leave on all the time anyway.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
It depends on the earphones I found. I was trying a Sony pair and it did cause the clicking. Tried a pair of urBeats, and the bundled earphones and it doesn't.

But if I use the FM radio, then there is a definite sound no matter which headphones or earphones I use. And on this point, I have confirmed it with 3 others. Did you try using the FM radio?
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Do you mean to test NFC and FM? Yeah, i thought i implied that?
[One (M7) General] Cyberz22:
Is it a multi color LED or just Green/orange??
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Green/Red
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Sorry I misunderstood. I saw your reply to my comment about clicking sounds when the phone isn't making any sound....which I found to be headset dependent (probably shielding on the headphone cable itself). I didn't appreciate you had also confirmed about the NFC and FM aspect. Thanks for testing it too :)
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
One of the highlights had to be stepping outside, testing the GPS and seeing it lock onto 14 of 25 satellites within seconds, giving an error margin of 10ft (yes, I am a little odd)
