Agree, if origin post of HTC One (M7) thread OP is missing in action, at least need to ask moderator or anyone have right to close it.

808 was different, it was too bulky for mass product, not much will go for that, it too bulky. (Not talk the OS here).

Nokia still possible bring up similar 808 camera sensor, (at least Lumia 920 is something similar) but before all this happen, it needs to trim down the camera occupied space, it was way too big.

As for HTC One camera part, if this success, I believe it still carry with this Ultrapixel things, at least it never giant size like 808 one, but possible HTC may slightly increase the actual pixel in it 2nd generation Ultrapixel.

nah i mean err like... innovation on pixel sampling that timefor 808, while ONE is ultrapixel. not to mention and both for the recording too.

for visual part err HTC Sense 5 vs err Symbian Belle (Belle is changing a lot compare to Anna version)

nah L920 don't even pixel sampling tech from 808, it only have nice low light performance (with longer shutter speed enabled in software?) there and OIS ....

but then i believe HTC wont fucuk up ONE successor like nokia 808 to L920 lol, that time all nokian was hoping L920 perform like great 808 with window OS. tongue.gif

(but now at least Nokia got a rumor about Lumia EOS, window OS with 808 performance they said)

ANNNDDDD belle firm ware make N8 camera performance drop like hell, since PR1.2 i guess. that's why till now i still stick with ANNA firmware with my n8, as if i never install any apps for that, i only put 3rd party task manager to kill apps properly. and now 2 years already my phone is getting more and more lagging, time to say bye bye for nokia.

Woot v2! rclxms.gif I wonder one thing, does HTC offer original set to original set change for warranty claims? My friend who's using the Epal iPong 4S said that they traded hers for some refurbished set, and now she no longer feel the same way about the phone anymore. sad.gif

Rationally speaking, this is going to cause massive headaches for their service centers. Sales stock needs to be carefully weighed against RMA stocks, and they had better ensure that QC is good enough to drive it down below 1% faults.

This means that for those who dropped the device and cracked their screens, how is the user going to have it replaced, EVEN if they wanted to PAY for a replacement screen???

Needs a heat gun to loosen it and a suction cup to remove it. I don't know if that's actually good engineering serviceability practice. How will you secure the screen again?

HTC must have enough replacement for RMA purpose.
with the phone seems like very difficult to repair.
one-to-one exchange is the only way.
HTC Malaysia better dont screw up.
Imagine phone send for warranty but got no replacement stock. people gonna rage.

you didn't get what he meant. it has a higher ppi because the screen is smaller compared to S4.

and what nonsense are you talking about?!

S4 has a bigger screen at 5" but it's slightly slimmer and almost the same size as the S3 which in turn is almost the same size as the Htc One. HELLO? doh.gif

best quality? said who? you? because your opinion takes precedence over everyone else?

and speaking of portability, go read reviews my dear friend, almost all vouched that the S4 is much more comfortable to hold compared to One.

Why blinkfeed? Aren't there mods or apps that can do the same? Or an extract of the Blinkfeed apk when it arrives?

Zoe, I don't know, if hardware is powerful enough, anything can be emulated in software.

I conjecture that the difficulty in disassembly likewise applies to assembly ?

I recall reading some articles writing that it took 200mins to create one from start to finish due to the fine craftsmanship? In which case they'd need A LOT of machining sets.

6000 x 200mins = 1,200,000mins, what, about 3 years?

Assuming they ramp up to 100 sets every 200mins, they'd still need 60x200min = 12,000mins, which is about 8 days.

It can't be that they've only gotten 6000 sets of stock just enough for Taiwan, as they launched the product 1 month ago. So .... hmm.gif

Unless they get some serious capacity ramp up or process simplification, the prognosis is not rosy.

Perhaps as a metaphor, how long does it take 1 woman to get dressed for a nice dinner vs how long 1 man takes to get dressed for the same dinner? laugh.gif

Thank you kind sir. I think we should civilize the uncivil. I hope we are not anachronisms. Then again I like the Society for Creative Anachronism.

About Zoe:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoetrope

Zoe is the contraction of Zoetrope, which is a series of moving pictures. So, since Zoe seems to be linked to the gallery function, I am not sure of its real utility.

http://blog.htc.com/2013/03/htc-one-zoe-camera/
When’s the best time to use Zoe? Whenever you want to to capture the perfect photo. After all, you don’t want to miss the moment if you aren’t quick enough (or perhaps just too fast) to capture the best part of the shot. HTC Zoe turns your smartphone into a living photo gallery of memories and interests. After all, capturing a moment takes more than a single image.

oh yes that, thanks for reminding! Maybe for someone else, but not in my books. I don't play songs/videos out loud. Always used a headphone/earphone smile.gif

Maybe it will serve better for people who are watching videos/sharing songs with friends.

If I'm not mistaken,
HTC One uses the native built-in audio DAC in Krait;
Galaxy S4 uses WM5102 Wolfson audio DAC

Wolfson is better

this will make future owner thinks twice.
premium feel but cannot repair.

I think i certainly will not get this because of this.

technically if ur phone warranty period is over, then game over coz the phone is unrepairable.

If need to claim warranty better had it happen several months later. Otherwise highly doubt immediately available ready stocks to have a new unit replaced. This is one phone where you cannot even afford to drop if replacing even the casing n display is so difficult

HTC One phones (Snapdragon 600), sampling at 48kHz which is a joke vmad.gif

Exynos version of Galaxy S IV uses superb wolfson DAC biggrin.gif

HTC may blind the mass with boom sound/stereo speaker/other mumbo-jumbo but my ear will cringe hearing a 48kHz. We need a petition for its audio to make it a justice.

Lol, your point being? The last pic shows the earphone jack opening. That's not a dent or ding.

The 2nd last pic shows the glass laminated touch screen. Until I have the phone in my hand, I can't tell whether it is supposed to look like that.

HTC One Sense 5 is the most latest sense already.

For android firmware its only 4.1.2 and it will be upgradeable to 4.2.2 if i am not mistaken.

Now adays the brand manufacturer sure launch update for the flagship phone de but see weather its fast anot.

And if you cant wait you can chose custom ROM at XDA and i 100 % believe sure HTC One got many custom ROM at XDA cause its a new breakthrough and many developers sure try to make custom ROM. I cant deny that custom ROM are bad cause there are some Custom ROM are very good , stable and customizable.

Now i am worry is that if HTC One can`t be fix in the future if there is no more warranty left after a year or two.

I hope come in the batch of HTC One is from SIS company not bright star cause SIS give 2 years warranty and bright star only 1. cry.gif

just to give you a hindsight. For those that dont root or install custom ROMs. If im not mistaken HTC one x / one x+ havent gotten their 4.1.2 update yet. or maybe just recently only. Not too sure about that, would love someone who uses the phone to share the info with me, many thanks. and S3 and Note 2 had their 4.1.2 ages ago. S3 in early january and Note 2 last year got it.

U know what?? HTC so good leh... b4 entering in 2nd year recently for my DHD, they able to change the whole new LCD & chasis and battery for me!

A lot here talk on updates as we are tech guy.

Normal users don't know and don't care lo.

None of my friends and colleagues know what is the version running on it and never care much.

In general, slow updates do affecting certain portion of users that care of updates, but it won't be big issue as general.

As for extreme users, more important was XDA support.

Depends on which phone model. Some if the phone model is cool and not hot in market then the Custom ROM is less and might no developer develop it.

See like SGS 2 the custom ROM is like tons.

For HTC see HTC Desire HD the custom ROM also tons.

Is depends de can`t make a overall big conclusion for that.

Like S3 and HOX the custom ROM also alot. FOr me i see Samsung Galaxy S got good kernal developer ( Siyah ) sometimes their developer some sort like better than HTC dev on XDA but imma not sore sure la just my 2 or 6 sense. icon_rolleyes.gif

Well, real life users have commented that the provided earphones that come with the phone are better than normal, the music sounds better with beats on, and the dual front facing speakers are louder and clearer than any current smartphones. So why not you give it a try on the HTC One before you write it off? smile.gif

If you still can't stand it, then just put a case on or polish the branding off if it really bothers you THAT much smile.gif

No phone is perfect afterall. But this One is pretty well near there I should think. Opinions of others may differ though. To each his own smile.gif

Well, real life users have commented that the provided earphones that come with the phone are better than normal, the music sounds better with beats on, and the dual front facing speakers are louder and clearer than any current smartphones. So why not you give it a try on the HTC One before you write it off? smile.gif

If you still can't stand it, then just put a case on or polish the branding off if it really bothers you THAT much smile.gif

No phone is perfect afterall. But this One is pretty well near there I should think. Opinions of others may differ though. To each his own smile.gif

So I take it that you've tried the latest iteration of beats in the HTC One and have then found it to be lacking? smile.gif

Im talking about HTC phones in general.
The One maybe will have a better speaker than the previous HTC phone no doubt about it.
The previous HTC phone, they never put in quality audio hardware (the DAC and speaker)even they market the with beats audio.

Well, I think people have high expectations of Beats considering the premium pricing, and they are right to expect such quality of a product that commands such a price tag. But the beats on the HTC One are bundled together with the phone through software and maybe hardware(not 100% sure) too. You don't pay extra for the Beats. HTC pays extra. To me, it's better than the normal earphones supplied and that's good enough. Not at the top at reproducing beautiful music, but it is sufficient for me. Then again, I'm not an audiophile. I'm just a regular user who uses my phone stock smile.gif

But so far comments have been good, if you have realistic expectations, and not expect to have an eargasm everytime you listen to music through your earphones smile.gif

Because Beats = crap.
I'm not even pulling out of my ass here. Anyone who buys a product because of Beats is IMHO, has been swallowed blind by the marketting.

Beats on the One (as well as every previous HTC phones) is nothing more than a glorified EQ. That's it! Just that simple, just one glorified EQ.

And yes it's a personal thing, I'd polish the Beats branding off but it would make an impact on how the alluminium shell look.

Look man, no offense but Beats is a joke.
It's headphones are horribly overpriced, with ridiculously crap sound quality. On a phone? Like I said, it's nothing more than a glorified EQ.

I'd obviously not use it at all, but it's just a personal caveat that it has the branding on the phone. In my eyes at least, it just made the phone look like a "yo! me too man! Beats is beast!".

Other than that, I love the HTC One.

None of my friends and colleagues know what is the version running on it and never care much.

In general,  slow updates do affecting certain portion of users that care of updates,  but it won't be big issue as general.

As for extreme users,  more important was XDA support.

Depends on which phone model. Some if the phone model is cool and not hot in market then the Custom ROM is less and might no developer develop it.

See like SGS 2 the custom ROM is like tons.

For HTC see HTC Desire HD the custom ROM also tons.

Is depends de can`t make a overall big conclusion for that.

Like S3 and HOX the custom ROM also alot. FOr me i see Samsung Galaxy S got good kernal developer ( Siyah ) sometimes their developer some sort like better than HTC dev on XDA but imma not sore sure la just my 2 or 6 sense.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Hmm..neither have i tried flashing roms on samsung.
but good thing about s-on is that it's almost impossible to brick your phone.
it just takes extra steps to flash certain things.
So far the roms i flash on htc has alot of sick tweaks. Just wondering if samsung has them as well

Even you polish the Beats branding off you will still have beats inside your phone cause its integrated in and you cant remove it.

I do not know where did you get the idea that the HTC One is unrepairable. Just because one website found it hard to disassemble, does not instantly make the said phone unrepairable!!! You think maybe, just maybe those guys got it wrong? Coz I have evidence about people disassembling the phone successfully on other websites without such huge hassles or troubles.

So please, give it a rest about the topic regarding the HTC One being irrepairable!!! It's a misconception people.

One website against one website then.. hmm.gif
It is not unrepairable but more difficult than other phones. Example when need to repair its camera..need to pry out the whole things.

If I do buy this phone..I surely will sell it before the phone warranty expired biggrin.gif

Anyway I won't judge because of one site mention extreme difficult repair.

HTC one can out such phone design, I am pretty sure they can proper handle it, having a right tool to handle it will be different than no proper cracking up.

It was from iFixit.com 2 days ago. iFixit.com is not some DIY at home guy or amateur. They are the authority in the mobile repair area. The same reason why many famous tech news and mobile magazine (InformationWeek, Phonearena, Boxden,Gizbot are republishing their research. That's why the HTC One unrepairable news spread so fast.

Since you said you have evidence, please show the proof and authority of the source. It definitely help us potential buyer. We need facts to support. Until then, the unrepairable claim stands.

I can't afford to risk RM2299 just to test the water.

I think you are refering to the link in Post #107.

I couldn't get any supporting point that it is repairable. Did I miss any thing?

All I get was, the article is about a TEAR DOWN to see and review the components. It didn't mention if they can fix it back later in it's original condition or did they also "Tear down" (as iFixit) the case during the dissemble. Their readers wanted to know if they tear it down too in the comments section but no answer.

Then follow by some quotes of the 2 persons conversation. Who are they? Brian Klug didn't say anything, while leoside just asked a question (this also can be used as a supporting point? It's a question!!!) and a statement. Huh?

How come all this unclear info can be considered as fact and happily close the case?

Please point to me where I miss.

I think you are refering to the link in Post #107.

I couldn't get any supporting point that it is repairable. Did I miss any thing?

All I get was, the article is about a TEAR DOWN to see and review the components. It didn't mention if they can fix it back later in it's original condition or did they also "Tear down" (as iFixit) the case during the dissemble. Their readers wanted to know if they tear it down too in the comments section but no answer.

Then follow by some quotes of the 2 persons conversation. Who are they? Brian Klug didn't say anything, while leoside just asked a question (this also can be used as a supporting point? It's a question!!!) and a statement. Huh?

How come all this unclear info can be considered as fact and happily close the case?

Please point to me where I miss.

Well the point that you miss was that all those replies were from Brian Klug, not from other people to him, but vice versa. In one of them he critics the iFixit team for not being able to identify the antenna points eventhough they did a teardown of the phone. In another reply, he asks a rhetorical question, saying that you do not need to destroy the phone in order to disassemble it, which unfortunately is what the iFixit team failed to accomplish. In one of the latter statements, he specifically mentioned that "no phones were harmed" during this teardown. Which means he was able to remove the components without damaging the casing and components hence he can piece it back together unlike the iFixit team who damaged the aluminium casing. He then posted up pics of the camera modules as supporting evidence that he indeed toredown the phone.

Is my interpretation off? smile.gif

Anyway, personally i think it repairable or exchangable perhaps... hehe. As long as it has warranty. If after the warranty period, ehemmm... maybe already 2 years and by then, there must be alot of expert able to fix it.
If ppl able to repair their iPhone frm non-apple service centre, there must be a way of doing it for ONE.

Most importantly, handle with care and get our self a case.

Look man, no offense but Beats is a joke.
It's headphones are horribly overpriced, with ridiculously crap sound quality. On a phone? Like I said, it's nothing more than a glorified EQ.

I'd obviously not use it at all, but it's just a personal caveat that it has the branding on the phone. In my eyes at least, it just made the phone look like a "yo! me too man! Beats is beast!".

Other than that, I love the HTC One.

Haha... But I believe most of ppl nowadays bought HTC not bcoz of its Beats. Alot of other main reasons too. Beats earphone for me just a supportive a.k.a. extra thingy for us but if htc provide along wt its Beats earphone & built-in Beats EQ in a box why not? Hehe. I won't put it as my priority if i would like to buy a htc phone.

Maybe we can see everyday there are alot of ppl using beats earphone walking here & there and most of them are NOT HTC users bcoz everyone easily get them due to tooo many imitation nowadays... LOL. biggrin.gif

I don't care on beats. Beats was same company "Monster" that release over hype of luxury HDMI cable.

But having it never a cons also, it still serve well than normal, lucky that logo still look simply nice.

So with or without never a problem to me, also HTC already well build beats as one of the company product image, HTC will and shall keep it for the moment than taken it out.

Err..actually beats and monster are two different company. Last time when they joint venture..their headphones are more to apple product not Android. Only one or two of their headphones can be fully use by Android phone.

Now they went separate way after HTC buy beats. Monster still release a lot of headphones for other brand nowdays.

You can skip S 4 as well, pretty sure similar or same price as RM 2,299.00

S III official launch already RM 2,199.00

Do you think S 4 will be lower than that? It was obvious around RM 2,199.00 to RM 2,299.00

I believe Note II user will move to Note III, once you get to use BIG screen, you are hardly return to smaller screen unless in 1st point you already can't accept giant size.

If Note3 comes with FullHD screen..better processor and better camera than it worth for upgrade from Note2. Otherwise better keep the old Note2..IMHO

As long as Note 3 display is bigger than 5.5 inch ( 5.9 or even 6.3 inch) - it will be on my must buy list
I couldn't be bother how it looks. Unlike some users who described SGS2/3/Note/Note2 as ugly, I am perfectly fine with the designs. Design is always at near bottom of my criteria. Functionality is more important to me

keep to the topic please

from what I saw on the XDA Forums, it seems that some HTC Ones have faulty camera module, a senior member of the xda forum commented that this may coincident with the HTC delays, which they say are due to difficulty sourcing parts... seems that not all camera modules that got shipped for the first batch is up to standard, hence some reporting amazing photos while some say the camera sucks....

i seriously hope its the problem above causing image quality differences, because the other theory will be HTC is using 2 sources for the One, one of them is good while the other sucks (like SGS3 with sony & samsung camera modules)

i don't think i believe my eyes but i saw someone using the silver color unit at a lift in Empire Subang today. Was in the lift and he was using it.

almost didn't believe it because I know it's only out in very few countries, and even then stock is limited. had to look twice to believe it

actually placed my order from Handtec 2 weeks ago (i order black color), every day checking my e-mail to see if it already shipped sad.gif

it looks blooooody thin bros..seriously..i wanted to ask the guy where he got it from

actually placed my order from Handtec 2 weeks ago (i order black color), every day checking my e-mail to see if it already shipped sad.gif

it looks blooooody thin bros..seriously..i wanted to ask the guy where he got it from
*
i would have approached and ask him to let me play with it..hahaha

No custom tax or duty for mobile phones into Msia. Most you pay RM 100 for SIRIM permit ( and is up to 3 phones you can bring in one time)
Hassle is you need apply permit at nearest sirim center ( can get it within an hour), pay RM 100 and submit in together docs to show arrival notice ( from courier) and a printout ( from web will do) of phone specs. Fill up 3 forms I remeber ( quite simple stuffs)
Or pay up to RM200 ( 1 year ago rate; now I don't know) to say DHL or Fedex to do everything for you
I kena one time from Clove, and 2 times smoothly without hassles from Clove and Handtec
Bought Nexus 7 from Google USA and also kena RM 100
Depends on your luck

Based on my experience using the Butterfly ( on Qualcomm Snapdragon) it is way much cooler than the HTC One X ; one of the main reasons why the Butterfly battery usage is much better than One X. Using the One X was a pain in the palms as you can really feel the heat while is very much less obvious on the Butterfly
So I believe the HTC one cannot be worse than the Butterfly and definitely will be better than One X

I only buy cash. Never use CC for phone.

I always buy from mobilesquare or whymobile, just this time I gatal buy at local for S III, now damn regret, due to selling back price at Malaysia (at least JB) never as good as that two shop trade back.

Right
Color is subjective
Different people different taste
As long as one is happy with his choice just ignore other negative comments on color

Wanted to order with Handtec due to free case but decided against it since the everybody is ordering from Handtec. When I emailed Handtec I got the hint that I will be at the bottom of a very long list since everyone is jumping from Expansys/Clove/Amazon UK.

Based on my experience using the Butterfly ( on Qualcomm Snapdragon) it is way much cooler than the HTC One X ; one of the main reasons why the Butterfly battery usage is much better than One X. Using the One X was a pain in the palms as you can really feel the heat while is very much less obvious on the Butterfly
So I believe the HTC one cannot be worse than the Butterfly and definitely will be better than One X

Oh, that will be great news. smile.gif Thanks.

I wouldn't put so high hopes on the heat...as I've said before in my previous post, I have tried it hands on during the preview and it does get hot during surfing net and playing games...

butterfly may be better in terms of heat resistance as it is plastic, bear in mind that htc one is metal...

not trying to pour cold water on you guys, just don't put your hope so high...

nevertheless, I am still getting one to replace my one x because it looks and feels soooooo sexy... rclxm9.gif

i think for the wise choice is get digi rm 48 with cheapest
cause umobile prepaid ok ...postpaid lol
maxis bit expensive but got 4G LTE!!
celcom ....expensive
decide on urself then ^^

I see. I'm planning to get one with Celcom since it has the best overall coverage for my needs since I make calls and SMS often. You can't probably go wrong with Digi if you need just data.

Based on my experience using the 3 main telcos n travelling round the country DIGI has the worst download speeds ( max 1000-2000 kbps average 600-800 only) vs MAXIS n celcom of 2000-10000 kbps.
If your frequent locations has u mobile it is even better than MAXIS n Celcom. But u mobile limited coverage n it's piggyback on MAXIS is poor

Agree, I use DiGi, Maxis and U Mobile before. The only I haven't try was Celcom.

Maxis data coverage was the wider and speed in quite constant everywhere.

DiGi only in extreme high coverage H+ area will be great, or else it was not good.

U Mobile is outstanding, too bad it 3G/H+ coverage too little.

Damage unlikely unless the courier service simply throws it during transfers. All pickups from Clove or Handtec , the couriers knows is delicate electronic devices. In all my past 6 years buying handphones/tablets/notebooks online from overseas and local resellers I have yet to experienced any such damages. With reputable online retailers their goods are well packaged and protected and will easily survive even with a hard fall to ground
I'd say your worry is unnecessary. Even if damaged you can always ask fro a replacement

This are manufacturing problems as it affects most phone manufacturers
Depends on one luck when buying
Only if you encounter such a quality construction problem, can we ask for a new replacement unit ??
In the Xperia Z thread, one user even reported he could slide a piece of paper onto one side of the glass panel while the other side the paper couldn't go in. I tested mine and both sides perfectly sealed aligned in and the paper cannot even slide in at all. Again this will depend on how serious you view this - to accept or reject

i hearing till half of the video, apparently someone purposely make a hole or what to make other brands looks sucks, better go test demo unit yourself tongue.gif

basically the video is about the forum, the "samsung" (they said samsung, i duno) hire 1 student and create many ID and like he ask question he answer and then keep saying HTC sucks hmm.gif

eg:

"my HTC screen blur blur

my friend samsung screen looks sharper than One X

my HTC just become brick

HTC android update very slow bla bla bla "

*basically it is an attack from samsung side, i assume the presenter in the video said la.
** just a cooperate political attack in forum

Hmm..that sucks. Main reason why I don't use Digi is due to its lousy coverage. It is not wide enough in my hometown. After like ten years my housing area still suffering from lack of 2G coverage. However I think it still has the cheapest deals for smartphone plans. Too bad umobile is still new in my area. Would love to give it a try once it has 3G coverage here. Does Maxis still charge per MB once you hit your quota limit or it is following the rest by sticking to fair usage policy? IMO it does have a fairly decent coverage it's just that the extra charges tend to freak people out lol.

If your area has u mobile should definitely try it out. Especially in klang valley area but if you travel a lot then u mobile probably best to avoid it as the coverage in other states very limited. Maxis stopped the charge per mb thing some time last year so that would be a good alternative with good coverage.

Maxis since at least few months ago has stop charging for excess data usage above your sign limit. Only speeds will be throttle down. You will still received SMS warning once you hit 80% of your quota and another SMS once you finished your quota. You than have an option to sign for additional data ( need to pay ) or remain at throttle down speeds till next renewal

But of course elsewhere, Maxis coverage I can safely say is much better than Digi(but doesnt mean Digi suck, just Maxis is better). But it is also reflected in the price that you pay for these telcos. Maxis being obviously more expensive than Digi. You get what you pay for.

Hmm I do travel a lot and yes I don't live near that area. Maybe in few years time they will have better coverage elsewhere. I'm a Hotlink user for so many years and overall I'm quite happy with the coverage. Thanks to you guys I might just consider getting the phone from Maxis too.

China people don`t even care i saw then use phone and simply throw too. They can buy things at cheap price cause at the massive production there. Even aluminum or plastic they also don`t even care about it. See iphone 5 launch at china got some news people go there to interview buyers and ask them if iphone is made of plastic but not aluminum will you still buy and their answer is yes they will still buy.

Not many people have toughs like us think that aluminum is actually good. Imma like aluminum feels solid not like them. Plastic is a no no already.

I'm staying in Melaka. Lol the total opposite then haha. Our network development is not that fast so relying more on Celcom and Maxis here. Yes 4G seems to be improving quite fast though.

Goodies normally given before election. After election if BN wins, you might see increase in prices due to GST. The gov needs to recoup the money they spent.

Hey, don't make that changes your mind.
Maxis is still having the speediest 3G connection.
Maybe it's just disruption due to the upgrading process.

Hmm...I'm really concerned about indoor performance as I will use it indoors a lot whenever there is no WiFi connectivity. What plan are you using for your phone again? I hope Maxis will provide more plans with the smartphone rebate thing rather than just sticking to SurfMore 75.

Lol based on what I know from my many Digi friends around, the speed is really meh. Like someone mentioned here before, the top speed is one level lower than Maxis or Celcom, two for Maxis if you consider the new 4G LTE. It's good to know that the data for Maxis is reliable indeed. As for me I would love to have 1GB of data coupled with call & SMS bundle plans. If Maxis were to offer the HTC One with a Talkmore 48 plan on 12 or 24 months contract that's rebatable using the SKMM smartphone rebate that would be very very tempting for me. drool.gif

what he means is,
Jonathan's image of the sky needs HDR to fully capture the sky's colour and the grass, cause the image Jonathan captured has the sky becoming white, meaning it's overexposed, which can be prevented if he used HDR
^ this is universally true for all consumer cameras due to the limited dynamic range

the last paragraph, he basically says one x's hdr is better than one's... but remember oneX has been around for a year, with numerous updates from HTC, so let's wait for the One to get one year's worth of updates before we start comparing.... also, the results aren't really that far off, not a problem IMO

and the HTC Auto Enhance, just go and read that post

hi guys,

i really like the design and features in HTC 1...marvelous

but been thinking the holes on the speaker and the earpiece which makes me wonder what happened if even a spill of water splashed to the holes ..

unless there is a piece of protection layer below the holes..

Minus 7% because of GST and it's about 900sgd so 2250. So more or less the expected price d. 2299 when it launches here I guess

There is rubber sealing between the casing and speaker contact, the trap water droplet should be drained out with the speaker vibration. Most phones air designed sustain certain degree of rain test at development stages, I'll be surprise if One doesn't go through that.

You don't mind getting black? Many people said it's pretty hard to clean and it does have chipping issues. hmm.gif

Haha that's good. biggrin.gif Currently I'm more inclined towards silver, since most of my phones are black; want to try a diff color this time.

Anyway guys, here's a really in-depth review of the HTC One by Anandtech. worth checking it out! rclxm9.gif

Am waiting anxiously for this HTC One. Most likely will get it on launch day, and this will likely replace my Nexus 4 as my 2nd phone to go hand-in-hand with my iPhone 5. The HTC One is just perfect in terms of imaging, UI and construction. Not even bothered to consider the S4 at the moment. biggrin.gif

Their marketing campaigns are crap. They need to do something like what Samsung and Apple are doing.

And the HTC One camera performance is good in terms of noise and brightness, but when it comes to colours still lose to iPhone 5.

There's no wonder after all why the HTC One would be indeed marked as 'not successful' by analysts. icon_rolleyes.gif

Also, kind of worried with the build quality. If the HTC One has poor quality control, it's going to breakdown and we are going to have hell with HTC service centres. Just reading their Facebook complaints scares me. laugh.gif

really thinking about migrating from Samsung to HTC One! initially thought of getting the S4, but HTC One is just too good of a phone.

will have to test both phones first before making the final decision.

are there alot of former Samsung fanboys thinking of getting this phone? smile.gif

I'm currently using both Note 2 & S3, but this time I have to go for HTC One just for the simple reason of drop dead gorgeous design. The S4 is supposedly to be designed differently... As there is no revolutionary features that can be further added to the current matured Android platforms

HTC One X actually had a kinda terrible battery. so not a great track record there for HTC flagships. however, after watching plenty of reviews for htc one, alot of them said that the battery is pretty good.

now that my Note 1 just got updated to JB, the urge for me to update isnt as great as it was when my note was stuck on ICS. we'll see how it goes when HTC One comes out. any ideas when?

Well, I really have to admit the HoX is indeed a battery sucker because of the processor. I'm wondering how does the phone's battery perform after they rooted? Anyone please share some lights? smile.gif

Thanks!

Oh well since you posted then I'll answer you tongue.gif my one x rooted can get 3 hours to 4 hours of screen on time. Average 3 and a half hours depending on usage. Mostly if browsing on 3g then 3 hours+ before left around 10%. With standby time around 12 hours? So basically it can last me a whole day smile.gif

I placed my order on 12 March. I ordered a silver HTC One 801n

Wanted to order with Handtec due to free case but decided against it since the everybody is ordering from Handtec. When I emailed Handtec I got the hint that I will be at the bottom of a very long list since everyone is jumping from Expansys/Clove/Amazon UK.

HTC ( One X, One X+, Butterfly) since on Jellybean can already support USB -OTG. So no reason why HTC One will not support unless they want to follow Google Nexus 4 ( due to hardware limitations)

really thinking about migrating from Samsung to HTC One! initially thought of getting the S4, but HTC One is just too good of a phone.

will have to test both phones first before making the final decision.

are there alot of former Samsung fanboys thinking of getting this phone? smile.gif

Here is a quick review
- So far no noticeable gap at the top or bottom of the screen. Very good build quality
- Anodized Alu makes the phone more grippy than Lumia 920
- Tapered sides makes the phone feels slim and makes you forget about the bulk in the middle
- Notification LED is very bright given the fact it is smaller than Note 2's notification light
- The power button is more recessed that I expected
- Sense 5 takes a while to get used to, especially since Im coming from TouchWiz
- Great speakers, no distortions even at max settings. 40% vol on HTC One = 80% on Note 2 (this is subjective)
- The phone is quite cool to touch. Been configuring/playing with it for 35-40 mins and it doesn't feel warm at all

Hoepfully our local shops like Directd, Satugadget and Seven Mobile would have stocks by then. Two weeks is not that long, but then again I've been waiting since before February 19th. I think I can still wait for a bit more.... I THINK tongue.gif

Just hope the release doesn't get pushed back to May.

But i think if directd taking from s'pore, the price must be very expensive leh. S'pore selling 968 for 32GB, that means RM2396, and yet plus the profit. rolleyes.gif.

And hope S'pore wont pust back the release date again sweat.gif, cos if S'pore delayed, dont think malaysia will release End of April.

QUOTE : Instead of reaping the rewards of putting out a lovely new flagship, HTC has just reported its lowest ever profit -- a mere $2.8 million in unaudited net income -- during the first three months of this year. That compares to $173 million in the same quarter of last year, representing a pretty catastrophic fall of around 98 percent. Underlying revenue dropped by a third to $1.4 billion. The reason? The top-end smartphone on which the company's fortunes currently rest, the HTC One, mostly missed its scheduled global arrival date in March due to manufacturing delays, so it effectively didn't exist during the period in question.

Yeah..sadly it's missing. Probably he went too deep into the others and didn't have the time to go thru the audio, since there's already plenty of audio quality tests around, although not that detailed.

Oh that's great. I don't really know much about Anandtech, only that they tend to be very analytic on things. Looking forward for some in-depth review on the sound quality as this will definitely be my 2nd Walkman. tongue.gif

13MP doesn't mean it is better. If you look at the Xperia Z camera samples it actually looks worse than my HTC One X photos. I think it depends on what are your needs. If uploading to FB is your main concern I think either one will suffice

According to http://www.chipworks.com/blog/recentteardo...de-the-htc-one/ The chip is the same as used in nexus 4/sgs III - Qualcomm WCD9310

Since it is not a Wolfson, I do not have high hopes for it.

S4 has better camera 13mp vs htc one 4mp ultrapixel

S4 mediocre sound, may I know your source? Htc boom is only loud not better quality. S4 using Wolfson chip whose audio I think  is better than HTC one

i thought both can't tell difference if both using loud speaker? i don't know how he judge the phone audio quality by loud speaker or with a same spec headphone/ear buds. hmm.gif

buy later than end of april you will stop breathing ar? sweat.gif
since you can't decide then wait for real unit out and test it la.
kind of bored to see this kind of question that really purely based on your personal preference, all of the forumer's answer actually all based on his own experience/ preference, they all have their own preferences ...in the end later on if you follow someone's advice and you get unhappy with the device then how? rclxub.gif
well money is yours maybe you can trade and sell it quickly.

This email i recieved this morning from Handtec. I have order 1 unit on behalf my brother on end March. Email 2 days ago was shipping out expected this week. More n uncertain delays:

Handtec have been informed by HTC Distribution that there will be further delays affecting both Black and Silver HTC One pre-orders.

For all customers who have ordered the HTC One 32gb Black we have been informed that this will now be expected towards the end of April-Early May.

At this time HTC One 32gb Silver customers should expect delays until the 22nd/29th April.

Unfortunately no exact date has been given for either device but as soon as we can confirm this we will update the relevant product pages immediately.

The Batch that was expected for this week is no longer due to arrive.

According to http://www.chipworks.com/blog/recentteardo...de-the-htc-one/ The chip is the same as used in nexus 4/sgs III - Qualcomm WCD9310

Since it is not a Wolfson, I do not have high hopes for it.

It not what chip the phone have but how it's used. Though Samsung have better DAC..they always choke/gated the output. Always need mods to release the true audio out doh.gif

with practice, you can train your ear to differentiate the sound.

True. s4 wolfson output is at 48kHz which is a joke.

Wonder whether we will get the 64gb here? It is available in spore for s $1068, probably can even be cheaper by say s $100+ from retailers such as MobileSquare
I have emailed handtec to cancell it since too late. Will get the 64gb instead in spore next week

I have also cancelled my unit from Handtec. So disappointed, expected to see e-mail saying unit has been shipped end up delay again.

Will just get from local or SG once it arrives. If got the developer edition even better

Is this a joke? Lumia phones are nothing but pure software. The lighting at night are overblown, the colours during daylight are oversaturated, not a hint of natural feel at all.
Proof? Try recording a low light video, see if its as good as the stills. LOL

guess its trash tier hardware cant process the software rendering during recording

Again wrong, despite the dac, samsung tend to bog down the hardware. The dac is nothing but a piece of useless IC on the pcb without mods. We're talking about stock here because 90% consumers stay on stock.

While qualcomm devices has a good dac but not on par with a full power wolfson, with alsa drivers n such qualcomm's dac can be better.

But right now, qualcomm's dac is leagues ahead of samsung's wolfson.


Did i mention the one has a dedicated amp?
