So far my research on the ONE has been good, until I encountered the shocking IFixit news suddenly pop up today all over the internet - HTC One is UNREPAIRABLE once broken rclxub.gif

News 1
News 2
Original Source - iFixit

and also about the camera: HTC ONE Camera Test with the Most Latest Firmware Updated on 26th Mar 2013

What's make u so worried?
As long as htc provides warranty, why so worried?

Warranty only cover manufacturer's fault like defects etc.

Warranty doesn't cover user's fault like accidentally drop and crack the phone screen. Which is common accident among smartphone user. RM2299 burn as the ONE is unrepairable cry.gif

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.

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.

Probably.

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.

I agreed. As I said in previous post, we need supporting fact. Like announcement or news from HTC regarding this is the best.

Look back about 2 to 3 pages. The information is there.

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

Good. Thanks for your effort in explaining to me.
