would upgrading my 1.66 to a higher version also reset the CALL DURATION timers found in the device information?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] xda-rocks:
No the call timers are not affected
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] steer:
tnx. i'll continue searching the forums to find out how i could reset the call duration.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] xda-rocks:
I don't think it's possible.

Why do you want to do it?

There are progs out there to measure you calls -

Re: xda update

Hi, I replied to a post of yours with the command prompt output

As you can see, I suggested that you start again with a clean set of nbf files. I also noticed that you hadn't updated the crc values for the nbf files (as in step 11 of my post). Also you put the operator as <O2> it should be O2 and <language> should be WWE.

It really isn't as complicated as it looks :). If you read it all first, then follow each step slowly and accurately without missing anything out, you should manage it ok. If, however you still get stuck (but do try first) and you have MSN messenger, I can 'talk' you through it.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
Hey all,

I'm just posting to see how many people have noticed HTC's poor quality control for the One. I went through 4 of these before finally giving in and just returning. I visited three different best buys in order to try to find a decent One. I love the phone, the way it looks, the way it sounds. My first phone had crackling coming through the speakers and gaps all around the edges, so I returned that. My second had glue coming out around the sides of the phone and a few stuck pixels. I also want to throw in that none of the One's I saw had the top of the display glass level with the phone. It was always sticking up and my finger would run against it when pulling the notification slide down. My third had a bunch of stuck pixels and I noticed that the screen was slightly yellow. I don't know if that comes from HTC using two different suppliers for their phone displays, but I'd imagine that was the case. Final One had one stuck pixel up top in the status bar. I was okay with that stuck pixel though, it wasn't in a very noticeable area so I decided to let it go. This phone still had crackling coming through the speakers but only on youtube with beats audio turned on. I'm guessing that is just a software issue as all my Ones had experienced that. I went to watch YouTube a few days after I got the phone and during the black loading screen before a video I noticed a few more pixels had become stuck.

I downloaded a pixel test and fixer app and tested with the black screen. My One had developed at least 10 stuck pixels all over the display. I consider that a sign of the display failing. Running the stuck pixel fixer did nothing to help. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. The One is the nicest, most unique idea for a phone I've ever seen. I really want a good one but I haven't been able to find a single one without issues. At bestbuy for the third one, the mobile specialist even opened their entire stock for me looking at each phone and was flabbergasted by all the issues we were finding with the phones.

So has anyone else had as many issues as I have? My builds were all from mid to late April in their build numbers. I'm just so disappointed, I want the One but am not going to pay for something that I feel isn't up the standards that it should be. I may go with the Galaxy but I just know I'll always be disappointed that I didn't get the One. I've tested the Galaxy, the speakers are obviously worse, the headphone sound isn't as crisp and the screen isn't as nice.

TL; DR: I returned four HTC Ones all due to different issues and am wondering if anyone else has had any of the same issues. I'm not trolling, I'm honestly disappointed.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Cell Master:
The top of my phone's screen is not flush with the speaker grill. Not a huge issue. I live with it. I can probably sell this phone used for $400 when the nexus 5 comes out and get that.

my only issue is that the top of the phone there is a gap between the aluminum and the plastic, gapless my a$$:rolleyes: still love the phone though, came from iPhone 5, had iPhone since day 1

Yea I bought a black 32gb last week and it's literally flawless. Zero gaps and no dead pixels. :D

Mine has been flawless
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] paniro187:
Mines flawless. Instead of hollering about it on a forum I would take it back to att and have a Congo line of new ones and check every one of them till I see one I like
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] randalltroy:
Mines flawless also.No gaps or dead pixels

Do you guys know the odds of getting 4 bad ones in a row are.

Not,saying it didnt happen, but, the stars wouldve had to align against you , to recieve 4 bad phones in a row,
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Mine is excellent except for the left side glass isn't as flush as the right. I only notice it once in a while when dragging from the top so I can live with it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] randalltroy:
Im curious,

After the 4 bad Ones, did you end up with a new phone
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tjsooley:
First one no wc issues
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
I seriously think the stars did align against me with that phone. I just read on the forum that the black version isn't seeing as many defects as the silver? Does anyone know if this is true? I originally purchased the phone from Best Buy and they did bring out every silver One they had and the sales rep and I did find defects with all except one. That one had the stuck pixel that turned into more. So I ended up returning and going to AT&T yesterday. I asked them about the one and said I've been having problems with the quality on my last few. They said unfortunately they would only be able to open one for me and I would only be able to exchange it once if there were problems. That line kind of sounded like BS to me, especially since I saw a woman come in with a smashed iPhone and no insurance she got earlier that day that they were willing to commit insurance fraud for...So I ended up getting the S4 for now. I still think the one is a better phone and I know I'm going to regret not getting it. If the issue is truly more with the silver version I'd gladly pay the restocking fee to exchange for the One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
What really bums me out is that I wasn't even going to upgrade my phone until I saw the One. I had the S3 and was ok with it, other than my battery life being garbage. When I saw the one and started messing around with it I loved it so I got it. Then the issues came and now I have the S4, which is a good phone. Its just not very different from the S3. My girlfriend actually picked up the S3 and handed it to me as we were going to bed last night thinking it was my new phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] OTSS:
Sounds like OP is trolling.

4 defective phones?

You must be looking for problems. 4 straight screens with dead pixels?

Pics, or it didn't happen.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] randalltroy:
That is to bad

We have both the HTC one and a galaxy s4 in our household.we just switched to At&t from T-Mobile, she actually started out on s3, which died after 3 days

My wife now has the s4, and I have the One, she wishes she had got one instead.

So I have got to use both pretty extensively, and I greatly prefer the One over the S4.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hunt3r.j2:
I'm pretty sure you're getting screwed because exchanges are usually refurbs that haven't actually been fixed to eliminate defects

You're just getting other people's defective devices.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
No, I truly am not trolling, the info about the black version got my hopes up so I went back to the at&t store this morning. I was willing to pay the $35 restock fee for a good One. They looked through four phones for me, and yes I do look for defects because I'd rather not pay $200 for a phone that I'm going to have for at least 2 years, come with defects. The black version does have a higher physical build quality as far as I could tell, but the stuck pixels are still there on the displays I saw. The first, a stuck pixel dead center, the second had a large piece of dust or dirt under the screen near the bottom of the display. The third had a line of I don't know what, dead pixels or a crack in the glass through the "E" on the HTC One starting screen. The fourth had one stuck pixel, very top left which I was ok with. I get insurance so if it turned into something else there's that and the warranty. But, the SIM card slot was dead. I just said I'm sorry for wasting your time and went back to my other phone. If what Hunt3r said about refurbs is correct than that may explain my issues. They looked like brand new phones to me. Kudos to all of you that were able to find phones without flaws. I'm very disappointed in my luck with the One, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. randaltroy, I do completely agree with you that the One is the better phone and I wish I had it without any issues.

I get the internet cynicism, but I'm not here wasting anyone's time. I'm just trying to find out if anyone else has had the luck I've had. I value my time much more than to sit here, making up stories about a phone which I have no personal stake in. It's a holiday weekend here in the states and the gf's birthday monday. I'm going to enjoy time with family and not worry about swapping a phone out anymore. I appreciate everyone's input who was helpful.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
If you are swapping in a store you aren't getting a refurbished phone. Refurbs come from warranty services by mail.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
Ok, thank you for that info. I guess I just have no luck whatsoever when it comes to HTCs :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] draztikrhymez:
Just got my black One yesterday, great phone and I see no issues as of now
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] stickbo:
On my second, and I give up. Every one we checked in the store had the same issued. Screen is not flush at the top, plastic is rough in places and has gaps or just not cut properly. I checked the silver and black 32g models. We checked well over 4 and I picked the best one we could find. Typical htc honestly. Been using HTC since long before android or ios was born and nothing has changed. I returned an s4 for the 1. While the s4 was much less rigid, and laggy as hell, it has flawless gaps and the screen was perfect. A shame really. I know I will get flamed just like the op because people have a deluded sense of pride, I have fanboy bone in my body though. I call it as I see it. I have a $350 nexus 4 and an iPhone that puts the build quality these phones to shame. I do love the phone, and think HTC is finally back on the right track.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
I agree that HTC is definitely on the right track. They just need to hire a new quality control team. I had the iPhone 4 then went S2->S3 and honestly got sick of Samsungs plastic phones. I thought the HTC One was a great step for android phones and something more really need to do. Go with a higher quality, unique design. HTC definitely pushed the boundaries of what an android phone can be. I think front facing speakers and aluminum bodies need to become a new standard. I don't know what they did with the Beats Audio either but the sound that came out of the headphone jack is some of the best I've heard from a phone. Destroys what I'm hearing from my S4. I'm guessing it's just an equalizer setting as they both use the same DAC but man, it really makes a difference. Music sounded more real, bass was more punchy and deep when it needed to be and vocals sounded like I was in the room listening to them record. If anyone has some tips on how to get better sound out of my headphones with this S4 I would greatly appreciate it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] :
I have a 100% flawless device. No gaps anywhere. No stick or dead pixels. No glue on the outside of device. No speaking popping or crackling.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cpufrost:
Had a perfect one, let the battery died and bing! Does nothing now, won't turn on, won't charge, etc.

Don't let it run all the way down guys, sounds like others have had this issue. Dead must mean dead. Will exchange for another, play again, Sam.

Deep Discharge is not good for Lithium ion batteries, you should have stopped long before the battery totally drained.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mrflip69:
You should let these guys with perfect phones buy a phone for you. Maybe your luck will change, or you'll find something wrong with their "perfect" phone.

Would be kinda funny to bum someone out by pointing out a flaw on their device. Otherwise you might just be nitpicking?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
I'm sure I'm nitpicking but that's just how I am. I know myself and if I see a dead or stuck pixel my eyes will always be drawn to it.

Perfect iPhone? Apple returned over 8 million iPhone 5s to Foxconn for defects.

With about 55 million iPhone 5s that's over 11% defect rate.

All these companies are having build quality issues, when you try to build millions of phones in a couple of months it is going to happen. I've read the s4 has issues with the lcd cracking under the gorilla glass.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] silkshocker:
Since I'm paying for my phone regardless of the brand and NOT you or anyone else, I have the right to demand perfection. I'd give a rat-ass if anyone else thinks I should settle for less!!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] stickbo:
Went to a different store to see if I could get a better phone, build quality wise. Every single HTC one I have handled has the same exact issues as mine. Non flush glass and weird cut plastic. I got the best one I could find. The plastic on the sides and top isn't a big deal to me at all, but the non flush glass is driving me crazy. This is the first phone I ever returned, outside of returning the gs4, I am really not picky at all. I feel the flaw every time I drop the notification tray though. I constantly push down on the screen, which fixes the problem for about 1 minute.

I would love to see these flawless phones because I have been through quite a bit and they all had the same issues. Maybe different hardware revisions, I don't see a rev number in the serial? I just got this new one a couple days ago. 32 gig silver.

I am loving the phone as a whole. With a proper Rom/kernel it would be bliss.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mrstromboli:
Has anybody contacted HTC directly? If so what did they say? I agree with the op. HTC advertises completely gapless phone and premium build quality yet they failed pretty bad on this phone. It looks beautiful but it's not as perfect as my One X was.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
My One is perfect so they didn't fail that bad
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cpufrost:
This is true. However one must realize that 1% shown on the phone is not the "real" 1%. It's closer to 10%. This is intentional to prevent damaging over discharge. In theory it's possible to hack it to discharge deeper but I would never recommend this especially on a device that does not have a removable battery. If such as protective measure is not included to perhaps make battery life a bit longer, the designer should be scoffed at as lack of a safety net is bad for user experience.

My phone has no issues that I have found. Or if they are it isn't anything like what you guys complain about.

I'll tell you every Samsung I've owned is a rancid pile, but every day I see people rave about them. The amoled screens burn in horribly in a few weeks.

Every time I point it out every XDA fanboy goes all apple and tells me I'm full of it. If you don't like it go elsewhere, no one cares trust me.

I clearly got lucky, or Samsung left such a bad taste in quality it's impossible to be disappointed.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mrstromboli:
Don't get me wrong mine is good enough to satisfy my needs but that's why I asked if anyone contacted HTC. If they are willing to replace phones I would take advantage but I'm not going to stand in Wal-Mart all day looking at their phones to find a perfect one.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lupin_iii:
The back of mine is perfect. The front is slightly flawed. The top speaker sits below the glass. The bottom speaker sits above the glass. Not a big deal. The buttons work, but don't always light up. I think this is a software issue, as I can cover up the two light sensors on the top and the keys light up, so it must be an ambient light setting issue. I can also live with it. Not really worth the hassle of exchanging.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _b_ship:
Yeah I've noticed a couple of the minor flaws, like the glass on the top left being slightly raised and a tiny gap on the top, but only because people pointed it out. I never would've noticed any of this otherwise, so I'm not too stressed about it. This phone is amazing to me.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] yourbrokenoven:
My phone was flawless. Don't know why you had so many problems. In fact, I've never bought a piece of electronics I've had to return for cosmetic issues. I was going to say for any reason whatsoever, but I remembered that the Jawbone Prime I bought a few years ago stopped working after 12 hours.

Last night, I got my 4th HTC One.

The first 2 had defects all around and huge gaps, not to mention the speaker grill.

The 3rd one had such sharp speaker grill edges that it cut my fingers couple times. The grill wasn't centered correctly on the phone.

The 4th one, the black model, has the biggest gap of all 4 phones. Also the aluminum bulges around the power button and the USB port.

I think I am done exchanging phone because the hunt for the perfect device seems unattainable.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] omegis83:
First HTC One I got from the At&t store

Has a very slight dip in he glass at the bottom right corner where the speaker grill is slightly higher than the glass. It's not really noticeable unless your looking for it or swiping down below the home button.

After reading these stories, I'm satisfied with it the way it is
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] silkshocker:
Just got mine shipped from Costco today (Black One). No dead pixels. There is a slight gap at the end where the speakers glued to the phone. I'm a bit disappointed but I don't really wanna return it. The power button is a little lopsided. One side is recessed a little more than the other. Oh well, I'll just have to live with the minor defects. Damn you HTC!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] crawlgsx:
Picked up a black One yesterday at AT&T. No dead pixels. Only flaw in quality is a very slight lip at top of glass, but I have to try to feel it, doesn't bother me during usage.

Overall I am very happy with the quality of mine.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
All of you that only have a light lip on the glass I would definitely keep your phone. It's not worth exchanging and going through another crapshoot. I'm still debating on keeping my S4 or going to a different AT&T and trying to exchange for the One. If I could find a good one with no stuck pixels and without the warm, yellow version of the screen I would totally pay the $35 restock fee for it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
The S4 screen has the black crush/clipping issue like the S3, Note 1&2. Once I found out that...I decided the One was for me. My note has the issue and it was horrible watching movies and videos. I never dared to show it to my friends w iPhones...I will never hear the end of it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] saint168:
The same thing happened to me when I totally discharged the phone, I thought I bricked it. Then after something like 20 minutes, it turned on and have been working fine.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keving9012:
UPDATE: I was able to find a good One! I liked the S4 but the audio quality out of the headphone jack really started to bug me. To the point that I was looking at a FiiO E17 amp/DAC to plug into it. So I decided to try the last at&t store near me. I went in and explained to them what happened and after the manager tried to be a d**k and tell me since I "attempted" to exchange before and they only allow one replacement that he didn't know if he could do it. He finally brought out one silver and one black version and said that's all they had in the store, which I know was complete BS. The sales rep that actually helped me couldn't have been nicer though. We looked at the silver one, dead pixel dead center of the screen. I show it to him, it takes him a minute to see it but he did. He tried to show it to another worker there and that guy couldn't see it. My sales guy said "I think you need new glasses." joking with him and the other guy got very offended saying "I've been working in this field for 10 years, there's nothing there!". The manager and the other sales guy were acting like I was taking these phones out of their personal collection...Anyway, the black phone came out. Perfect. Not a gap or non flush display or stuck pixel. I was ecstatic, paid the $35 restock fee and took it home. I'm still waiting for the survey to come for the associate that helped me, I would like to give him a great review. Needless to say everyone else was extremely unprofessional. So there are good Ones out there. I would also definitely say that the black version has a higher physical build quality. From all I've seen, I think it may be due to them being produced later? Either way, I got a One.
