Battery charge speed. The life itself is great, but charging takes quite some time.

No SD card, no removable battery, no big deal to me, might be for others though.

Too loud on the lowest setting I think, my fiance said my text notifications are a bit loud.

Not related to the phone, but the included earbuds are complete trash, Earpods sound much better.
[One (M7) General] iFalcon:
+1 on the lowest setting is even too loud. I have to keep it on mute at work because of this.
[One (M7) General] jntdroid:
T-Mobile variant didn't even include earbuds... even if they're trash, I now feel left out. ;)
[One (M7) General] phsetaknev:
Ohh so you tried earpods with HTC One? Tell me whether the call button, Volume up/down buttons and mic are working or not, i wanted to buy earpods, i liked the design.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Apple and android call/volume controls use different drivers.
[One (M7) General] dOoBiX:
My negatives:

1. microUSB port is upside down

2. phone has S-ON
[One (M7) General] olobex:
Cons:

Battery life - max 4 hours of continuous usage

Bug with mp3 as clock/ring tone. Selected, played, app crashed, old ringtone still selected, but app now keeps crashing when tapping on the change ringtone button, making it impossible to select other ringtones, even after reboot. Solution was to rename the mp3 and not choose it again. Firmware was 129.12.
[One (M7) General] puremind:
What brightness settings are you using to reach such a low number?
[One (M7) General] boyaxnxtdoor:
Only problem i have encountered is the Overheating of the phone, and sometimes I can't use the phone to call somebody because its like putting a flat iron into your ears / side of your face. Ouchhhh! . That's all i can think of. battery life can be reasonable since I've been using Xperia S before and its more likely the same issue with the battery.

[One (M7) General] therisi:
The biggest negative is how difficult it is to replace parts. Specially the screen if it gets broken. Way too difficult.
[One (M7) General] FaceSti:
individual text tones

I want to be able to set up different text tones for different contacts...anyone know if this can be done? I am running android revolution.
[One (M7) General] androidspaz:
Probably the worst thing about my HTC One is the fact my N7 is very lonely now! It just collects dust.:cool:
[One (M7) General] AndyLeJizm:
The only downside I can think of is the button placement, coming from a One X I really was used to back home recent apps. Just a minor complaint though ;)
[One (M7) General] Manav Asopa:
i will tell you what i think. i cannot think cause the One hasnt launched here in India as of now. right now i am happy with my One X . Its great to read all the positive reviews about the One but still i wanted to know if the phone has some issues or negatives by the end users. Too much of fanboism aint good you see....

To me the lack of micro SD card isnt an issue. 32 GB is enough for me. the lack of a 3rd button is also not an issue. i was concerned about the gaps and the crackling sound coming from speakers so i wanted to ask the first hand users if they too are facing this issue...
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
I personally have a slight gap on the bottom edge. Camera lens needs to be cleaned often. Rogue apps of any kind will hurt battery life more on the One than the S4. Autobrightness out of the box is way too bright, HTC needs to set it right so people can get better battery life. The lack of quick settings in stock is annoying. Camera is not good for long range/crops.

I don't know, this phone is really short on negatives for me.
[One (M7) General] jah:
Yes but as I said ALL the online reviews I have seen have a summary that says "positive and negative" aspects of the One. So why do you need a thread on this subject when there are threads here that link to the comprehensive reviews?
[One (M7) General] phsetaknev:
So what should we do make them compatible??
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Don't think you can, just have to get third party android earbuds with controls/mic
[One (M7) General] phsetaknev:
So if we buy earpods then we can only listen to music and thats it......... hmm okay i can live with that :) I thought the 3.5mm jack threadings will be different from brand to brand....... but these HTC earphones suck, i think thats the only drawback i will have when i get this beautiful phone. ;)
[One (M7) General] patato2:
Well I kind of agree with you. I don't mean to stop the discussion, but when all talking about the negatives, there's a good chance this thread get closed.:cyclops:
[One (M7) General] banksc:
Ditto. I can't count how many calls I missed on my Atrix due to the weak (and short) vibrate.

OP, maybe you should put it in your pocket rather than leaving it on your desk?!

---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

I believe it is indeed a H/W difference... Do some research, there are MUCH better earphones than the Apple variety.
[One (M7) General] Lookatthemonkeys:
After 3 days I only have a few minor things...

1) The LED notification is not RGB and is ridiculously tiny it is almost useless.

2) Agreed that the volume buttons should have an option to wake the phone

3) Not having the menu button mapped to a long press of the bag button is the biggest thing for me (I did the mod and it works fine)

4) Must have a 1A charger. A .5A will not even maintain the phone

5) Micro USB is on the bottom right of the phone and not in the middle. Makes some of my cellphone holders awkward.

I was skeptical about the placement of the home and back buttons but it really is not a big deal to me. I like the capacitive home button and since installing the menu button mod I actually like the layout .

I had also heard about the power button being hard to press but I do not think it is that bad at all.
[One (M7) General] Bxroto:
This negative tread can help with Devs and even HTC as they pick up on what the end users think and want so thanks for starting this one for the One.

1. Power button on the top left, unusually hold phone with left hand and is more natural with it on top right as my previous few HTC phones.

2. Captivity buttons buggy and just not sensitive enough. Sometimes they just don't light up and sometimes I find myself pecking away like the went into sleep mode.

3. Not sure if this is a result of my #2 or because of my fat fingers but seems sometimes the space dedicated for the captive buttons is to small and I find myself activating camera. That makes me want a dedicated phone button like the Evo line.

4. Has gotten warm a few times and has been commented on coworkers I had passed One to when I was showing off the new purchase.

5. Finally, one text messages that I transfered over from previous Evo, using the transfer app, doesn't want to delete. It was a contact card that was txt to me and was part of a tread which transferred over but presented as an individual txt doesn't want to delete. It is dated older than all recent txt but is sitting on the top of the list like it was the most recent and can not be deleted.

PS: anyone that can help with #5 it would be appreciated as I'm planning to do a full factory reset this weekend if not resolved.
[One (M7) General] gruuvin:
Because more data gives more accurate results. Because more opinions from more sources is better. If people are willing to help by supplying more information, why not?
[One (M7) General] jah:
Because if from a couple of good reviews you can't get the information you want the information here will not make any difference to your buying decision. Also many of the negative points are opinions that are obvious and know from when the One was first announced. This thread is pointless.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Kanging isn't a positive.
[One (M7) General] DesertHawk:
Funny one you are. It wasn't Kanging. It was using tweaks. Anyway, I sorted it with Torxx. Bringing new version soon.
[One (M7) General] atrako1973:
Jeeeez can't we wait 6 months or so to start with the negatives, the phone is barely out man
[One (M7) General] ahernandez4110:
No LTE for T-Mobile Only 4G on Refarm 1900MHz

No LTE for T-Mobile because T-Mobile Only supports LTE on Band 4 1700MHz / 2100MHz and Band 17 700Mhz the only I get is H-4G on Refarm 1900MHz
[One (M7) General] akuma2012:
Poor battery

None removable battery

Limited storage

Smaller screen then standard flagship screens

LCD instead of power efficient vibrant HD Samoled

Beats audio which removes mixer options

Poor power button placement for useless IR blaster

No S Pen ability

No underlocking ability from stock rom

Blinkfeed

Average camera with soft performance
[One (M7) General] jah:
So why did you buy a HTC One?
[One (M7) General] DesertHawk:
He hasn't. He's just jel, so he making his phone seem better so he doesn't feel old. Like Spen support... Why did he write that in the negative...
[One (M7) General] akuma2012:
I would not waste my money on such a amateur phone. My colleague has though. Fun comparing against my mighty Note II.
[One (M7) General] jah:
This thread for owners to share views. Even though I don't think we need it. By the way I have a Note 2 as well as the One. Both good for different things.
[One (M7) General] lilhaiti:
My only gripe is that whenyou open the app drawer you have to hitthe app drawer button again to close it...you can't close it using the back button. That is fixable using an aftermarket launcher. Also, I don't like the fact that when you select a predicted word in the keyboard the is no option to auto space.
[One (M7) General] Gja88:
Totally agree with both of these. Coming from the nexus 4 this never happened. Also after sending one text the keyboard automatically closing. I don't understand why.

[One (M7) General] Gambler_3:
The bloody power button is the single worst thing about the phone.

HTC has a poor track record of software support.

The charging speed is terrible.

S-on.
[One (M7) General] opz187:
You're clearly a douche bag. I just bought an s4 on amazon.. Was going back and forth on the one and s4. Ultimately I chose the s4 because of gorilla glass 3.. But I'm kind of having buyers remorse and I haven't even got it yet. The one just looks sexier, and by all accounts so far, performs better. If I don't like the s4 I'll def send it back within 14 days and get the one. We'll see..
[One (M7) General] tuxonhtc:
Love my Note II, but you're clearly a moron. Both are entirely different devices which caters to different people. Some don't like the huge size of Note 2 or don't need the S Pen features. One is a great device, and so is Note II. How about you accept it and move on?

Stop being a damn troll.
[One (M7) General] Cryosx:
Please don't get the One, we really don't someone like you over in these forums.
[One (M7) General] ScooterG:
I've noticed the phone tends to get cold when I have it outside and the outside temperature is also cold.
[One (M7) General] akuma2012:
Yep and this is a thread to share the negatives if the HTC One. Go figure.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

I have accepted that the phone is a minor improvement over the one x. But the thread clearly invites opinions about the negatives of the one. Hence my contribution.

Btw the Note II is not huge or hard to hold and is widely agreed to be the standard size for a 2012-2013 android flagship. Anything below 5 inch can be considered mid- range.
[One (M7) General] tuxonhtc:
ROFL are you kidding me? There are plenty of people who don't like large phones. It's a bit awkward to hold, but the size is what I bought it for mainly, so not an issue for me. And one handed typing and operations are a pain, even with the one handed keyboard enabled.

Who agreed it to be the standard size? You? :confused:
[One (M7) General] akuma2012:
Market research and profitability. No body goes into a store looking for a 4 inch android device nowadays. Even my little niece whos 8 can use the note II like a baus.
[One (M7) General] tuxonhtc:
Yeah right, because your nice is representative of the entire market. Note II was a big success, but it's still a niche device. SIII and SIV outsold Note II if I'm right. I'm not sure about the one.

By the way, not even sure why you'd bring your niece up here, FWIW.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Ah yes I forgot the iPhone has never sold ever.
[One (M7) General] HiddenSanctum:
Here is my list:

- Phone gets hot because of the metal

- Only two capacitive buttons

- No removable battery

- No microSD card slot

- Autobrightness too bright

- No Notification Toggle

- Zoe + Dropbox = hundreds of pictures synced

- Stock rom launcher customization limited

- Not latest version of Android

- 4MP Camera

Oh and btw I LOVE this phone.

let me explain:

- Phone gets hot because of the metal (Not worried, metal = giant heatsink and solved with case)

- Only two capacitive buttons (just need to get used to it and mod available for mapping HTC logo)

- No removable battery (not worried, battery life is actually pretty great. got a 20% drain for 13 hour standby once.)

- No microSD card slot (I have a cloud server + unlimited data and 32GB is totally enough for me)

- Autobrightness too bright (solved with autobrightness mod)

- No Notification Toggle (power toggle from android market but I can live without it)

- Zoe + Dropbox = hundreds of pictures synced (I can live with it, easy fix through update)

- Stock rom launcher customization limited (use another launcher, but I actually love blinkfeed and sense 5)

- Not latest version of Android (eh, 4.2 doesn't have anything that is killer for me)

- 4MP Camera (Low light actually beats my point and shoot sony. Daytime photos on par with current gen phones I feel)
[One (M7) General] patato2:
I don't use phones larger than 4.7〞. Anything bigger should be a tablet imo.
[One (M7) General] tuxonhtc:
That's what I thought until I got the Note II. Best decision ever :good:

I love my Nexus 7, but it gets too tiresome while browsing. Note II is perfect for me, hits the sweet spot :)
[One (M7) General] Danillaco:
Funny that all the negatives are "positives" from the s4 or the same talking points of their fanboys, this kinds of posts add nothing to the thread.

I get the intent of OP, somethings you only note after using it, and not everything that bothers one, will bother the other. It's a good thread, Imo, but this posts undermine it. In theory, I think it was supposed to be responded by owners who want to share their experience with it.

Reading this thread, don't make me feel like not buying the phone, but makes more aware of things I should observe when getting mine.
[One (M7) General] SeanBlader:
Um, so don't use the "lock button" you can drag up ANYWHERE on the screen and it will unlock. I tend to drag the clock/weather up myself.

I have two complaints:

1. I'm afraid I'm going to damage it and be unable to get a replacement Developer's Edition

2. A lot of developers have not updated their applications to integrate the menu button per Google's standards.
[One (M7) General] gruuvin:
A large sample size from people using the phone for up to a month now is a very different sampling than those in the reviews. You seem to know nothing about gathering data.
[One (M7) General] jlczl:
I am in the process of selling my Note 2. I love it but can't justify owning both high end devices.

What I'll miss the most from the Note 2 is the insane battery life. The battery life is one of the few negatives of the One. Then again, I'm comparing it to a beast and it really isn't fair to expect the same from this beauty.
[One (M7) General] jah:
Thank you for the lecture :) But there are some great reviews out there linked to in this forum. Even some reviews that are 30 days of use.
[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
The battery life on my Samsung Note 2 is definitely good and when it runs out I just pop a fresh fully charged on in there and I'm ready to roll. This is a great feature for those that travel often and spend a lot of time outside as all they need to carry with them is a small spare battery.
[One (M7) General] tuxonhtc:
Yep, too bad you can't own both though. One's a very good device, but I just can't miss the insane battery life and the screen size. But yeah, to each their own, guess Note II checks pretty much all boxes for me without missing out on anything, so I'm content with N2 :o
[One (M7) General] KMadine:
Home button not centred

Holding the phone near the top to get at the power button leads to gripping the volume buttons & adjusting accidentally

Micro USB not centred

Battery life very disappointing

Charging time unacceptable

looking/breathing/touching anywhere vaguely near the lense of the rear camera totally breaks/cracks/destroys the flimsy plastic lense (3days)

Beats Audio logo on the back rubs off in hours

On-Screen Keyboard isnt very precise

Vibration on the wake up alarm scares you out of bed! lol
[One (M7) General] msmith1991:
I agree... My one is almost too big. I could never see myself using a phone such as the note. I need to use my phone comfortably in one hand. Besides I hate touchwhiz, even I did get a Samsung it would be rooted with stock android flashed. I would go back to my nexus 4 before I did all that lol!

Objectivity is about balance which is about positive and negative and that is what reviews and review threads are about. Negative only threads are inherently biased. Negative threads attract trolls and therefore misinformation.
[One (M7) General] LordManhattan:
I don't have the One yet, but you're on XDA:

- Yup, the phone is metal. Logic.

- That's no secret

- Also, no secret

- Again, no secret

- Software issue

- Open "Play Store"

- Disable automatic upload (app problem)

- Again, install a different launcher (Nova/Apex)

- Wait (you knew this)

- Seriously, do some research

Conclusion: Do some research! Seriously!
[One (M7) General] HiddenSanctum:
You didn't read the rest of my post did you = =

I knew all of this already. The OP wanted negative aspects so I pointed out what an average joe may or may not complain about when they get the phone. I already pointed out how to solve/remedy all of the issues.

And again, the HTC One is one of the best phones I've owned

That camera lense did not break on its own. You can clearly tell there's a point of impact on the lense. So it was either broken accidentally or deliverably.

Also, this threat should be called "what do you like or do not like about the htc one" because I have not read any negatives of the one. Everything everyone is mentioning are preferences, they're not negatives. How is not having an sd card a negative? Or having the home button in the middle? Or having louder or lower speaker volume? All these and plenty of other I've read are all just preference. Some people like the home button where is at.

The same way a lot of people like not having an sd card. One person's negative can be some one else positive.

[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
I've read the whole thread. I been following it since the OP started it. In that thread there's only 2 recorded reports of broken camera lens. Once I saw he's pic, right away I knew it did not break on it's own like he's states. You can easily tell it has a point of impact. Also, the heat and cold expanding the metal and breaking the glass is also BS!

First the device will never get hot enough to expand, specially aluminum. Second, some one already also confirmed that there's rubber around the lens separating the lens from the actual metal back.

Once I was in a badly lit room at night, and I picked the phone up upside down without realising, because it has such a symmetrical design, so that the MicroUSB slot was on the top and because it looks like the power button, I freaked out that my power button had fallen out and I panicked and scream like a girl til the wife grabbed it off me and turned it the right way round.
