This is great news
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerjames09:
I'm assuming my rep was mistaken on the eta of 4.2 lol since we don't have anything yet. And I'm actually OK with this due to the amount of bugs and lag associated with 4.2 on the s4. Not to say it would happen with us but I'm actually pretty content with 4.1.2 for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSocalGuy79:
I wonder if Google will release 4.3 for the older phones when KLP comes out. Then release KLP to older phones once new phones running KLP have been out and sold.

Sent from my Freeza MD4 Stock Rooted Galaxy S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerjames09:
I was wondering this as well although I have a funny feeling that we'll never see 4.3 and there will just be a jump to KLP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bielinsk:
Please delete the thread or change the name as this is not confirmed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerjames09:
It was confirmed by a samsung employee (my rep for my store), although after the thread was created there was word that there would be a delay in the update for the S3 and the Note II. I already put a few post back that my rep was either mistaken or the delay is effecting the ETA. I will adjust the thread accordingly though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerjames09:
I actually agree with you, though the only reason I posted this information was because it was a samsung employee with confidence in telling me mid June. Potentially there are delays with the update like we've all seen rumored although we will never know. I again do apologize for this information not panning out.

No need to apologize you haven't plotted a Obama assassination .........yet...

I flashed to PAC rom and copied some of the apk files back to data/media/ folder then flashed back into Trickdroid and tried to install some of the apps.

I managed to install the clock app, the gallery app (I wanted the photo widget) and the browser app. But other apps such as Phone.apk had a "problem parsing the package" or something similar when trying to install the apk.

Is there a way to do this or is it impossible for some apps?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
It's impossible for some apps. Also the best way is to use root explorer and copy them to system/apps and set the correct permissions. Be careful though and create a backup incase you run into issues.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barca009:
Ok so I have the silver HTC One and as much as I love it, I can't help but think the front would look bad-ass with the black speaker grills...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience replacing their speaker grills, I remember seeing a drop test video and it popped off. The guy in the video mentioned how it didn't clip back on, it was glued on.

I think if it was easy enough to get a stanley blade in between the grill and the plastic it could just pop off (mine has a gap so it could be quite easy) then it would also help in the future if any scratches happen, just to replace them again...

Thoughts?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
thats a good idea, itll be great to know if the speaker grills are repleacable, as they are slightly raised on most phones
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barca009:
I'm just worried incase I order the replacment parts and they are not the same quality as the real HTC One parts. Is there a site that sells genuine parts? They would need to ship to the UK for me though...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couped:
Are you out of your mind?

If you are, I'd recommend sandpaper tape and some spray paint. That would probably be easier than disassembly. Maybe even some black nail polish.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barca009:
I dont think it will be as bad as you think, this is the video I was talking about:

http://youtu.be/KwE9PGDnlvs?t=1m51s

I know the top may be more difficult to get off because of the camera and I think I will wait a few more months to see if anyone does drop their One and the top part pops off... But it would be interesting to know because this could be useful to those who get any real bad damage to their speaker grills...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicRam:
The speaker grills are glued to the housing, Removing them shouldn't be hard

Do it and get us some pics
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robt772000:
I'm doing it. Are you sure about the glue? I also started a thread about it a couple of days ago.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicRam:
The bottom one is definitely glued, I am not sure about the top one though
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adezd00:
Im interested...

I agree that the black would look pretty cool. Let us know how this turns out! and take pictures of the process. I myself am curious whats behind the top grill, my speaker on the top is starting to crackle horribly i want to know if it would be possible to replace.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovex:
One of mine (the bottom grill) has a small chip in it that really annoys me, so i have ordered a new set. Postage to the UK is quite expensive, but the total was only £24. Not that bad considering its an original part I guess.

Removing the grills shouldnt be too hard, just heat them up with a hot air gun, being careful not to 'cook' the phone and carefully prise the grill up. The gap most people have in the case may be a help here. The new one should just press on. Warm it up, press it down and hold it firmly until cool, with a clamp or strong bulldog clip if you can.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshua54:
Etradesupply.com sells almost everything for HTC one:) just so everyone knows if they didn't, u also have a tiny chip in my lower speaker grill, but my case hides it for now so I'm not super worried, but I would love to know if this is possible!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovex:
The grills and the SIM tray are about the only things you can replace. They sell screens, but there is no realistic way to replace them. Even if you could open the phone without marking it, putting it back together is almost impossible.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakhaque:
Just for clarification, did you order this from etrade supply? do you have it yet and how is the quality...?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:
Etradesupply quality is very good. I order parts from them and never have an issue.

Heat gun or hair dryer to loosen up the glue should help.

If possible please share the whole process heating , removing and fixing the top and bottom speaker grill. Thanks !
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artymarty:
Just a tip, do not "paint" the grill. It's impossible to do without stuffing up the holes anyway.. And paint does not stick to aluminium.

You need to anodise aluminium.

Google how to do it but in a nutshell..

1) chemically clean existing aluminium to remove all traces of colour /surface protection. 2)Anodise it to required colour or clear colour

This not only gives you the look you want but makes the surface very hard.

Anodising also is not "on" the surface but part of it so it won't scratch off, block holes etc.

Bare aluminium is very soft and WILL oxidise and go dull. Apart from living in a vacuum or learning to breathe argon gas, you can't stop it.

Anodising MAKES aluminium oxidise and then fill the surface with a dye. This prevents further oxidisation.

Cheers, Marty

any luck with replacing the speaker grills?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adezd00:
Just a heads up

I asked about this a different thread and one of the people that replied told me that only the bottom grill is glued in. He said the top is actually screwed in from the back before the back cover is put on. I cant confirm if he was correct, but still good info for anyone planning to try something like this. Can anyone confirm that has purchased these if there are threads in the top grill for it to be screw in?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polys643:
Well i'm only interested in replacing the bottom grill as I've managed to scratch it trying to plug the charger in (and not paying attention) :(

So I was wondering if someone has actually attempted applying heat and removing the bottom cover and if the grills sold by etradersupply are genuine OEM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerodan:
I've ordered a set and will report as soon as they arrive. Honestly, they could be anything from bad copies made if painted plastic to oem. Gambling for speaker grills. It's not Vegas but... :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polys643:
Thanks :) If you attempt to replace yours, it would be nice if you could post a few pictures and describe the overall process. I'm not sure how good i am with this kind of DIY work so any guidance will be most appreciated :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reNeglect:
Ive order a pair too, but it probably wont arrive till 2-3 weeks from now. My guess on the step by step process would be,

1.Sit at a table.

2.Start up a heat gun/hair dryer.

3.Maybe take a ice pack and wrap it around the back and screen.

4.Blow the heat gun/hair dryer on the lower grille.

5. If your lower grille is damaged like mines, and has a slight gap, Use a exacto knife or something thin and stiff. to light pry it up.

6. Clean off the area where the grille came off, and apply some adhesive.. not to sure whether we should use super glue though...

7. Line it up perfectly and clamp it down overnight? or atleast for a few hours just to make sure it stays..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polys643:
I will order a pair as well (silver). Let us know once you have replaced yours :)

Has anyone tried this yet, unfortunately my top speaker grill got damaged and I was really was hoping to replace it so I ordered the remplacements, now my problem is I do not want to ruin the phone and if the top one is screwed in, I think it may be complicated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GonzoDuke:
There was a thread on another teardown a few days ago which has since been removed. However, in it, the OP stated that the covers were glued and screwed in through the back of the pcb. I do not know how accurate this information is though...

The grills arrived yesterday and I can report that they are indeed high quality and metal. OEM? Anyone's guess but they came packed in a nice plastic box and appear to have a dimensioning equal to stock. The black finish matches as well... I have yet to replace mine but will report when I do!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaa-Yoo:
Where in the video did they remove any screws for the top speaker grill? I dont see how any of the screws that they removed could possibly be attached to the grill. :confused:

aeridan, are you able to see anywhere on the back of the new grills where screws could be threaded into?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerodan:
I don't see any screw holes on either top or bottom grill plates that I was sent. The top for sure, the bottom - perhaps I'm missing something very very small...

I've not done any installs of the grills yet - perhaps this week :)

Best,

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:
Looks like heat gun and suction cup is the correct first step. Speaker grills may only be glued if you aren't seeing any screw holes in new ones. Good luck, take your time and don't force anything.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerodan:
Quick update, there is ONE screw hole on the top grill, on the right side... That's it - just that one, and only on the top grill...

Hope that helps,

Can confirm, Top grille is screwed on... but yeah. My replacement grilles finally came in today...

1. I heated up the lower grille and use my nail to make a wider gap between the plastic

2. Use a exacto knife and cut the adhesive.

3. Use nails to pry it open.

4. Apply Super glue to the area

5. Place the grille on and hold on tight for 1minute

6. Voila...

only sad thing is theres a slight gap, especially if you apply pressure on it, it moves down slightly...

Overal, its great, the build quality is amazing, feels like new.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxp123731:
my replacement will come in 10 - 15 days (black).

my baby dropped from waist high to concrete and the top front speaker grill had deep dink on it

lesson learned: always use full body case

the top speaker grill glued and screwed.

I took off the top speaker grill by pulling it off and cut the screwed part.

I cut the screw part because I don't want to open the whole body off the phone since that is the only way to unscrew it.

my plan once the replacement came:

- cut the screw part

- put back all the yellow metal parts

- superglue the top speaker to the plastic part

- use full body case every time :D

wish me luck

My set is arriving today. Thanks for the workaround.

I will also leave the top as is. Maybe I will order a aluminium polish set for a Dremel. And try to polish the little chips.

Okay replaced speakergrill too.

Minor tips:

Let your fingernails grow. ;)

Be sure ro remove all old glue.

And don't forget to place over te old blind cap stickers. And speaker filter. Those to prevent collecting dust.

[UPDATE]

Success Story :D

My speaker grills delivered this afternoon. I only replace top speaker grill since that's the one that broke (see my previous post).

I cut the screw part using bolt cutter and made the cut smooth by using nail clipper.

I glued the grill using superglue, don't forget to get nail polish remover (non acetone) to remove any unwanted superglue.

See attached picture for the final result, almost like new :cool:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrufdog:
For those who have messed with the top grill. Is it possible to leave the screw alone and pivot the top grill out of the way to clean debris off the speaker? I have the dreaded buzz, but if I moved the phone around and tap in the right places it goes away. Sounds like any of my old phones that collected crap on the speaker, but I could clean out in a minute or 2.

Help with top cover replacement on HTC One

Hey guys

great information

I droped my HTC ONE and there is some damage on the top cover.

I am about to order from Etradesupply

since I think you mentioned is good quality...correct?

Now here is the thing! I have no clue how to replace it. Is there anyone in New York city that can do it for me?

I am willing to compensate...

Thanks for all the great info!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakhaque:
I ordered mine from parts4repair.com because the shipping charges were significantly lower than etradesupply to UK.

I am not completely satisfied with the product, there are no scratches or dents in the product however there are some areas with scuffs that are enough to change the shade of the colour black, i can't decide whether to go ahead with the replacement or not as my bottom cover is clean of any scuff marks like this, however has one chipped edge which exposes the silver colour... at glancing at it it always look like a shiny reflection, only further inspection exposes it to be a scratch.

Hi Guys,

first of all sorry for my bad english.

I have a problem with my HTC One (Red Color).

The Grills on the top are loosely, The right side of the grill is loosely and the left one is glued.

At the moment, calling is very annoying.

See the images for more details.

My Question would be should I sent it back to HTC and hope that they will repair it under warranty conditions or should i try to glue it myself? Anyone who had the same problems?

Would be really happy if you could help me out as soon as possible.

thanks alot,

best wishes HHburak
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] janitorjohnson:
I have noticed that there are people starting to notice that that have LTE in their frequenting areas, but it's messing with their data once they leave these areas.

For me it was having issues kicking back to edge and even 4G signals would not pull any data, would simply say that I had no connection. Didn't matter whether rooted or not or which rom I was using.

Anyway,

I have discovered somewhat a fix for this issue.

Under Connections tab in Settings, click more networks, then mobile networks, then Access Point Names my Access Point Name was epc.tmobile.com.

I noticed in other forums their APN should be fast.t-mobile.com so I thought I'd give it a try and incredibly my results were pretty good. It goes in and out of LTE areas pretty smoothly in comparison to losing data altogether.

Give it a try and report back.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] linhnd2000:
I was experiencing drop of data connection for long period of time (at least 5-10 mins) every time I leave the house, losing my wifi connection. More than once it just won't connect at all for a good couple of hours. I just did a test today, messing with the APN, network operator settings and get it to connect to 4gLTE. Once and turn on and then off the wifi, I lose the data again. And it wasn't gonna come back.

The fast.t-mobile.com address seems to do the trick and I'm now immediately on 4gLTE after losing wifi. and the speed is AMAZING at 24,000kbps download and over 10,000kbps upload.

Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:

With thr default (epc..) APN, I had LTE before in NYC, DC, Boston. It just happened that the connection drop was getting more and more noticeable so I had to do something about it.

I haven't changed anything, but mine is already showing fast.T-Mobile.com, and that's the only option there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SuiSid3l:
great find, I must have switched between 5-7 different roms trying to figure out why I'd lose data for up to 20min. after coming off wifi. Once I got reconnected to 4g I was afraid to even turn my wifi back on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saintfyre:
This seems to me to have just started recently, I'll have 4G but I might use the elevator at work and lose my connection, upon being back in service I'll be stuck on Edge for about 10-20 minutes before it picks up the 4G connection again.

I've been switching to Airplane Mode then back and that seemed to help but it doesn't any longer.

My APN is already fast.t-mobile.com, is there any other solution to fixing this?

EDIT: If I reboot my phone it connects to 4G immediately, and I'm using a Rooted Stock MDL Build w/ the Faux kernel.

Thank you!
