its so sad that so called a senior member calling others who want some facts as a troll, its seems that you want others to buy this phone blindly without knowing the pros and cons and make their own judgement for it.
[One (M7) General] Jawler:
I own this phone for 4 days now and i fell in love.

But i figured out a really negative point.

If i hold it on the upper half my W-Lan signal drops from full to no connection. Even if i use a case. It´s not that big deal but if i hold it vertical (e.g. when watching videos) this can be really annoying. Bought it on amazon and have a HTC Germany cid. When amazon has it in stock again i´m going to send mine back.
[One (M7) General] Croocodillul:
My ONE arrived today but I think I've got one of the worse phones right there. It has all the negatives I saw online.

Crackling sound in speakers, dead pixels (3, on black), low quality housing (especially on the sides of the plastic, very bad finishing), 1 mm gap on top...

Here some photos:

Check out the "Equalizer" app (and disable Beats Audio). It should work with most music players (including the built-in ones and Spotify). It sounded great on the "Rock" setting on headphones, but Beats seems to work better when using the phone's speakers.
[One (M7) General] dirtyhamster73:
:(

That's what my replacement looked like, my top was actually a little worse than that....my volume rocker had gaps at the top and bottom that were so bad. It sucks. I'm sorry.....it pains me to see people getting phones like these.
[One (M7) General] bob13bob:
rma those..
[One (M7) General] bfdream:
1. In camera, HDR should be an option instead of a mode, like in iPhone

2. The One should provide the settings of removing 3 dot black menu and using volume key to wake up the phone.
[One (M7) General] chia8331:
I don't know if one's 4MP camera is count as negatives, compares to the mainstream 13MP cameras.

Those pictures are taken in high studio lighting and cropped close. In these situations high mp will win when pixel peeping.

In real world conditions, handheld with low light, optical image stabilization, and wide aperture sensor pulls ahead.

The one outdoor will not be as nice but usable. Indoor also usable. Haven't seen enough evidence if s4 will produce usable images indoor

The only negative of the One is that it can run hot (really random), but with the help of custom kernel and trickster app we can control the temp

I have had my one for 2 and a half weeks and I have nothing to complain about. Every bit as good as my one x and so much more.

The Name

"HTC One" ... utterly useless ridiculous name which makes it impossible to find anything relevant on the internet...

search for "HTC One" and you find tons and tons of articles about One S, One X, One V ... ARGH

other than that, its a decent phone.
[One (M7) General] eddy4823:
do a favor to yourself. search HTC M7.
[One (M7) General] chia8331:
In that case, have you seen the distortion in the one's photo of the concentric circles?

Not sure if it's caused by the image scale or the camera sensor. Maybe it's totally unnoticeable in common situations.
[One (M7) General] Zheiko:
Seriously? did you go to get your phone replaced because of this? It saddens me, how ppl are ungrateful... My bottom aluminium piece has the gap all around, but its fine, it has absolutely no effect on the functionality of the phone, the screen is a little edged on right side - so when I slide over the edge, I can feel a little gap on right side of phone, but on left there is no gap... but question is, does it have ANY effect on functionality of the phone? Answer is very simple, NO and therefore it is not worth replacing. If there was a gap between the screen and side of the phone, so that would allow the phone to catch dust under screen then yes, replace it. Deal with the fact, that you will never receive PERFECT piece of HW.
[One (M7) General] dirtyhamster73:
Um actually no, my FFC was cracked upon delivery. Am i suppose to accept that too? I'm sorry that you find it acceptable that a $600 device has gaps that you can fit pieces of paper in, or a power button that is completely sunken in on one side, or a 3.5 jack that is warped that the headphones won't stay in, or the bottom glass not seated correctly, or a volume rocker that is loose. I would have never accepted that phone the way out was. Why would I want to accept a phone like that? A phone that I will have for a long while? So the issues it has can get worse? Dude, get bent, you can accept those things, not I. Those issues are much different than a little "sharp edge" or "over hang".

”Ungrateful"? I would be ungrateful if they gave me the phone, but they didn't, my money paid for it.

My H1 has a cluster of dead pixels on black, my power button is slanted on one side, and a have one little gap.. But I kept it, because those issues really don't bother me like the other issues did. I'm not looking for a perfect hardware device, I want a device that my $600 is worthy of and it be free of issues that will not get worse a year from now. I don't sell my devices, I keep them all.
[One (M7) General] stoicism:
That is actually not true at all. I have had numerous perfect build quality & consistent hardware...not necessarily nice, but consistent build quality. Nexus 4, S3, HTC One x, iPhone 4s, my wife's iPhone 5. All of these were without any visible imperfections. I have had 2 HTC One's now, both looked like they were slapped together. Same goes for most One's that I've seen around the city and on display. My plastic edges are rough, the aluminum front pieces don't sit flat, SIM tray isn't flush. The back is awesome, nothing wrong there.

The One has great design, so for $700 it needs to live up high expectations.
[One (M7) General] air2k57:
Coming from nexus 4 I'm a bit dissapointed. My main grudge so far is data. Hspa does not seem as consistent and LTE signal is much weaker, I am dropping LTE all over the place where the nexus consistently got more bars and remained connected to LTE 90% of the time. Also LTE speeds, I am getting about 18mbps in same places I tested 35mbps on the nexus.
[One (M7) General] dirtyhamster73:
How strange, my H1 gets far better signal than my nexus 4. My speeds are faster on the H1 as well, by a lot.... I'm not in a lte area.

I'm getting about 17mbps on the H1 and I've always been lucky to get at least 9-10 on the n4.
[One (M7) General] Zheiko:
These are reasons for replacement, but you did not mention them before...

Also, if I am counting properly, my old phone got sold for 400euro and bought new one for 550e, that makes the price of 150e for me. Now yes, if, as I said, there are faults that have impact on use of the phone, then I'd go through the hassle, but if its the screen not sitting exactly, but on one side oversliding by 0.001mm more, meh, I could not be arsed waiting for new piece, which might be even worse...
[One (M7) General] dirtyhamster73:
Because I don't go around complaining about my issues, I brought some of the issues up because the poster I replied to mentioned similar issues that I had as well... Had he mentioned other similar issues that I had then I would have brought them up.
[One (M7) General] rocketpaul:
I will say the multi window feature is a excellent feature, not sure how good it will be on a smaller screen though.
[One (M7) General] andrawer:
- Screen is a bit small since I came from the NoteII and original Note for the last year.

+ Other than that I've REALLY learned to like the ONE and am stock so far. I actually like the Blink and I've learned to use the app drawer a LOT to launch apps...seems easier but not sure why? ON my Samsung's I was always messing with icons, launchers, ROMS, etc. but just haven't felt the need on the ONE thus far....I suspect it is because I purchased from HTC directly so don't have any of the Bloatware from ATT.

+love the sharpness of the display in addition to normal colors.

[One (M7) General] shinyquagsire23:
With the sense 5.0 ui, the app drawer button looks a bit squished between the icons, almost like it's heard to avoid pressing the two apps next to it when trying to get to the app drawer. But that's nothing a launcher can't fix, since I use Nova launcher on my devices anyways. ;)
[One (M7) General] bnicsk8guy:
My only gripe with the phone is the dead or stuck pixels. Been through 4 phones and all had at least one stuck pixel. Other than that I love it!
[One (M7) General] rocketpaul:
how does it compare to the note 2
[One (M7) General] DrexelDragon:
I'll be getting the One in the mail today! Just left Verizon for T-Mobile. Sick of them locking down phones. My only concern is voiding the warranty when I unlocking the bootloader. Would this prevent me from exchanging the phone if I wasn't satisfied?
[One (M7) General] domineus:
I can say coming from the note ii, the only reason why I got the note ii was because I needed a phone before I went with the htc one.

The note ii is bigger and it will take a few days to adjust to the capacitive touch buttons as well as the smaller screen size.

But it's worth it. In every. Single. Way

Reading here I was a bit in doubt because of the broken lens problem but Telenor (Denmark) assured me it is a known problem and I won't be charged for repair if it happens. Sold!

[One (M7) General] ECEXCURSION:
Just look the phone over while it's still stock. You're only looking for hardware defects anyway. Once you're satisfied unlock the bootloader. T-Mobile has been pretty good to me regarding rooted phones but obviously I can't speak for others.

[One (M7) General] SPARKY892:
This is probably just a preference issue more than a fault with the phone but the location of the power button took a bit of getting used to but now I think everyone's phone has it in the same place.
[One (M7) General] bloggert:
the lack of an auto-capitalization option is a little annoying, and i wish i could customize blinkfeed with my own rss feeds. other than that i'm seriously loving this phone.

[One (M7) General] Apoxx:
The lackluster camera by far. Main reason I returned mine.
[One (M7) General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Seriously? I completely disagree.
[One (M7) General] Apoxx:
Well I might have got a bad unit or something cause I have seen good pictures from the HTC One, but mine just could not take good pictures. Also, with no updates on the Dev Ed. I can't even tell if it just was a firmware issue.
[One (M7) General] jntdroid:
The camera is excellent, but it's overrated and over-hyped by the reviewers and media. Some of its shortcomings are apologized for and brushed aside b/c HTC is trying something cool and different.

I'm not saying it's bad - so please don't jump down my throat. But the tech media is making it out to be the best thing since sliced bread. I DO think it's cool, but it's quirky, too.

For example, I can't take an uber-low light shot. Not pitch black, but dark enough where your eyes can adjust and see, but the camera can't and the flash is required. In that situation, which doesn't happen often - but I have needed occasionally - it absolutely will not take a good shot because the flash doesn't light up to focus - so every shot ends up blurry b/c the camera can't see what it's focusing on.

Another example - at times in low-light shots the camera seems to be working extra hard and lags a lot, making it difficult to get any sort of decent focus on those low-light shots it's so good at.

Last example - any shots of people within 5 feet, where their heads are near the edge of the screen, will stretch them out like coneheads - I'm assuming b/c of the 16x9 aspect ratio? That's not something that's easily edited out... it happens with anything, but obviously heads are the most noticeable. ;)

Those scenarios (and a couple of others) only make up maybe 20-30% of my experience, but it's a frustrating 20-30%. I love the One, but honestly the camera has become a bit of a hindrance in my mind compared to my S4 and my wife's iPhone 5. It's a great attempt by HTC to do something different, and I'm sure it can be improved upon, but for now the trade-offs for their attempt at uniqueness are frustrating, to me.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I'm satisfied with my pictures on the T-Mobile stock ROM. Although I'm sure the software updates will improve the experience (when they come out).
[One (M7) General] RyanTX:
The only reason I can see not to get one is the capacitive buttons. Having these soft buttons on the galaxy nexus it seems weird to go back to a capacitive.
[One (M7) General] alanchai:
Back and Home button not as sensitive. Sometimes not responsive, need to press few more times. And the power button are quite flat with the body, hard to press. Other than that, all are ok except for the GAP.
[One (M7) General] bob13bob:
Everything is harder for low light shots. Focus will be harder to nail, do give your phone a little time. Dslrs do the same thing.

Also, shutter speed will slow down. This is normal. You will not be able to take as many shots per second. This is a good thing. The slower your shutter speed, the better iso your sensor will use

I did notice corner lack of sharpness and distortion in low light. The camera is probably using it's largest aperture f2 here. In lens making, the farther you are from the center, the softer your image will be. This is why super wide aspect sensor is dumb, the far distance to the corners exacerbate this.
[One (M7) General] birdcarrie:
Negative? Camera: It is only good at low light, It is a relatively weak camera comparing to others( iPhone 5, S4) during day light..
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
You must not be talking about the One.
[One (M7) General] bob13bob:
The daylight performance of the one is worse than the nexus 4.

Cons

-Build Quality issues for those are too anal to accept TINY non impactful issues...

-Battery is sandwiched in an already hot phone.

-4MP is okay for low light and macro but not as good as gs4/ip5 for everything else.

-Micro USB is terrible in my opinion. Wish everyone would use a lightning connector like apple. Pretty sure that is indestructible.

That's my two cents.
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
How did you figure that from the pictures you posted? The Ones photo is a busy city street with cars moving, buildings, signs which looks good while the n4 photo is just some trees.

[One (M7) General] bob13bob:
That doesn't matter. Similar light levels are the most important.

[One (M7) General] MotoXoom:
None

Honestly, with the right custom ROM (ARHD or TrickDroid) and a few custom tweaks here and there it is really hard to fault this phone.

Most of the negatives which have been pointed out so far have been overcome through custom ROMS :)

I love it and I just can't find anything wrong with it!!

But that's just my opinion.....
[One (M7) General] robt772000:
My son got his hands on my one and whilst I was in another room he managed to bash it about 20 times on some concrete. He is only a baby. Its wrecked and with HTC for repair.

So in its place I am using an LG optimus 3d. Now let me tell you its like they are from different centuries. Any fault I complained about on the one is now just a stupid 1st world problem. The optimus 3d is the slowest, unsensitive, incompatible phone compared to the one.

So in conclusion the one is the best thing ever and I miss it.
[One (M7) General] daffie:
Caviat...The One is just about the perfect phone imo.

Few small niggles :

- sound volume increments are to large, especially being able to play music at lower volume is not possible

- placing of On/Off button

- HTC logo should be a (configurable) button as well

- Home button long-press should be configurable

- No memorycard slot

- No widgets for Mail app

- Not possible to deactivate Blinkfeed

Again these are my personal small niggles and not at all dealbreakers...this phone is awesome in each and every aspect!

Overall I'm VERY happy with my phone. Only issue I have at this time is the fact that I can't change wallpaper of my lockscreen without changing the homescreen wallpaper as well if I want to retain any of the lockscreen notifications. Aside from that I'm very happy with my One and even that is not a huge deal.
[One (M7) General] dirtyhamster73:
I have selected the first wallpaper option under "personalize", which lets me have a different wallpaper than my home screen and I'm able see/get notifications on the lock screen, just texts I believe. What notifications are you looking to get?
[One (M7) General] dirtyhamster73:
My lock screen where you can see that I have a text notification, and my home screen.

Unless I'm completely missing what you're saying.

I wasn't aware I could get texts on the wallpaper lockscreen that's good to know. However, I use the productivity lockscreen because I never know what I have coming up so the calendar on lockscreen works wonders. Thanks for the tip regarding the texts though!
[One (M7) General] epicnerd:
Been using it for about 2-3 weeks now.

Overall, love the phone but...

1) Lock / unlock button. Very awkward placement

2) Volume. Couple of issues. Not enough levels - especially on the quiet side. This means you have to pick notification ringers/sounds that are just quieter on their own which brings me to the next problem... the ringers aren't "normalized". I expect a ringer to be a ringer... I'll control the volume myself please.

3) BlinkFeed. Personally, I don't care for it at all and changed my homescreen disabled et.

4) Sensitivity of back / home button is lacking and inconsistent.

5) Back / home buttons don't always illuminate when I wish they would. They seem to light up eventually, but not right away when I need them which is when I unlock my phone in low-light situations. I would expect them to come on right away if it is low-light.

6) The "increased volume" in pocket / purse doesn't appear to be noticeable to me nor does the "decreased volume" when picking up a ringing phone. the volume just doesn't seem to change in either scenario for me

7) Dirt getting in the space around camera lens... there is a very small trench that surrounds the camera lens from the case and mine is filled with dust and dirt that I have to remove frequently.

8) Camera lens is flush with the case / almost protruding so it just seems that it would be easy to scratch / smudge. Haven't noticed anything really but it just feels like it could happen very easily.

9) Love the aluminum case, but it along with the form factor makes the phone slippery. Add in the fact that it is sort of big (at least for my hands) and the placement of the lock/unlock button, and I feel like I have to be very careful with it whenever I handle it. It doesn't give me a sense of security and stability when handling the phone with 1 hand... which is why I feel like I can never trust myself to use it 1-handed.

10) It doesn't synch with my FitBit Flex. Not the HTC One's fault (it is an Android thing), but the S4 does synch with it (but only because the dev device-specific code for that phone... which they said they don't want to do for all phones and would rather have Android fix their BT api).

11) Battery life could be better. It isn't awful, but it doesn't feel as good as my iPhone did.

12) Kind of tied into #10, but the HTC One is not the most popular Android phone and HTC is kind of having some financial / company troubles. How this affects updates, service, supplies, replacements, parts, accessories, app support, etc remains to be seen.

All that being said, I love so much about the phone so I'm willing to overlook some of these things... especially considering much of the major things are / will be fixed with an update and/or custom rom.

Aside from the phone, I miss Apple's AppStore. it just blows away Android's... especially for games it feels.

Day one with One, and I am not so impressed. Everything is so over-hyped that I actually had some expectations, which normally isn't my thing. Anyway, it's a good phone. Very well built, screen is great, sound is great, but after everything read online I ask myself - so this is it? This is one average monthly paycheck in my country, sitting here on my desk. Four 1,7 GHz cores and 2 GB of RAM, rooted and flashed latest 4.2.2 and this beast still can't produce stutter-free scrolling in apps, stutter-free loading of pictures (web pages, or in apps), some micro-lags are also present... hm.
