Btw.. i got my set from DigitalD this afternoon as i simply could not wait anymore.

The gist of the quality is, fairly good, but some small, minor gaps.
No dead pixels, or other issues. I went to choose from 3 different sets. I took the one with the least gaps.

Just did a big blast on their website. If they still give me typical reply, I will make my next move.

Thats a darn good point. We are paying money and pre-ordering because we want exclusivity. Whats the point of pre-ordering when stocks are coming in at the same time as other retailers smile.gif + 1000

Am glad the stocks are finally seeing the day of light. Am also glad that I didn't wait for sen q to call since they only have one bloody unit. I pre ordered it on the 18/4 and apparently I was the second to pre order.
Sigh. The way htc do business, no wonder their profits dropped so much

The HTC One might just be the best-looking smartphone on the market right now. It’s a real head-turner, the kind of phone that you’d leave your current phone for. At first everything’s perfect, but then you realize that the HTC One has issues. Don’t get us wrong, it’s a really solid smartphone (check out our HTC One review for the full story), but every smartphone has its flaws. In this article, we’ll round up the most commonly reported HTC One problems and try to offer up some solutions for anyone suffering from this beautiful phone’s known issues.

Problem: Background noise or static

A number of people have been complaining about a buzzing sound or background static. The problem is most common through the speakers, but can be heard when using headphones as well. Some people report hissing through the headphones when listening to music, especially noticeable during gaps in the audio. Others are reporting popping sounds from the speakers, most noticeably after notifications come in. There is also hissing for some during voice calls.

It’s not clear whether this is a hardware or software issue. Some people have returned their handsets for replacements and report the exact same problem occurring on the new one as well.

Workarounds: You may not be able to get rid of the problem entirely, but you can reduce it by turning off Beats Audio via the gear icon in the Notifications panel. Some people report that having NFC turned on makes it worse as well, so turn that off, too.

Possible solutions:
There might be a software update eventually that will address this issue, but HTC hasn’t confirmed the problem, so there’s no guarantee.
You can try getting a replacement handset in the hope that it’s a hardware issue and the new one won’t have the same problem. There are plenty of people reporting that they have no audio issues with their HTC One handsets. Contact HTC, your retailer, or carrier to report the issue.

Problem: Gaps, rough edges, bulges, or scratches

It seems that some HTC One handsets shipped in less than perfect condition. There have been several reports of build quality problems with gaps between the plastic and metal, strange bulges, mysterious scratches on the body, and edges that feel rough to the touch.

Solution: This is really straightforward and there’s only one course of action to take. If you’re unhappy with the build quality of your HTC One, you should return it. Contact the retailer where you bought it, explain the problem, and you’ll get a replacement handset.

Problem: Proximity sensors not working

A few people have reported that their sensors aren’t working correctly. You may notice that the capacitive buttons don’t light up and this could actually be a sign that the sensor isn’t working. Try covering the sensors (top left) with your finger and see if the capacitive buttons light up. You can also test the sensors using a free app called Android Sensor Box.

Solution: If they aren’t working then it’s a hardware fault and you’ll have to return the phone and get a replacement.

Problem: Unresponsive Home or Back buttons

Many owners have highlighted an issue with the capacitive Home and Back buttons either side of the HTC logo beneath the screen. It seems they are unresponsive some of the time. This might be a bigger problem if you are using a screen protector. If this is a software issue, HTC will release an update to fix it at some point, but in the meantime there is something you can try.

Workaround: If you tap lock and then unlock, or tap on the touchscreen and then try the buttons again, you might find that they are more responsive.

Possible solutions:
Go to Settings > Language & keyboard > HTC Sense input > Advanced > Calibration tool and just use a very light touch to calibrate. You should now find that the Home and Back keys are a little more responsive.
You could turn on Vibrate feedback in Settings > Sound to make sure that you are touching the button correctly (apparently the capacitive area is small and you have to be precise).

Problem: Dead or stuck pixels

There have been quite a few complaints about dead pixels (pixels which won’t light up at all) and stuck pixels (pixels which stay permanently on) on new HTC One handsets.

Possible solutions:
You can try an app like Dead Pixel Detect and Fix and see if it helps.
You can return the handset and get a replacement.

Problem: Takes a long time to charge

The HTC One does have a bigger battery than many smartphones, rated at 2,300mAh, and some owners have been complaining that it takes a long time to charge. You may be used to your smartphone being fully charged within three hours, but the HTC One is likely to take four hours or longer. Apparently HTC has taken precautions to ensure that the battery lasts (since it isn’t removable) and this partly accounts for the longer charging time. If it seems to be taking a lot longer than that then there are a couple of things worth checking.

Possible solutions:
Are you using the charger that shipped with the phone? If you’re using an older charger or plugging it into your computer via USB to charge, then it will take longer. If you are using the charger that came with your HTC One, then you might try a different charger, just to make sure that the original isn’t faulty.
Have you got a lot of apps running on the phone while it is charging? The less that’s active and syncing, the faster the phone will charge.

Thanks for the compilation of the tips mate. Nice one!

None at all. If you have problems try out AirDroid. It lets you transfer files over Wifi and do a a ton of other stuff too.

Btw, what are the software versions on your phones? I'm on 1.29.707.3
Custom Roms seem to be on version 16 now

Yup, tried out Airdroid, but my WiFi connecting is a little slow now. So transferring photos is taking forever.

5.17pm @ 68%. Charger off since 9.00am.
Usage: 20 mins calls, 1 hour of whatsapp, reading push email from Exchange Server (30++ emails) + Gmail (10 emails) + Y!Mail (3 emails), 1 game of bejeweled blitz, 10 mins of instagram, 80% WiFi + 100% Bluetooth connection. 20 mins of Blink Feed.

It makes a HUGE difference if you turn on GPS scanning. Same usage like this last week, but with GPS on. Battery was like 40% at this time.

Unfortunately I'm always on the move and am not tethered to WiFi at times, so I'm mostly on LTE / 3G. Yet, the battery life is really stellar! No regrets at all.

My only thought is that HTC really optimized Sense 5.0 very very well on battery consumption. Can you imagine I charge my HTC One at about the same frequency for which I charged my 3100mah-battery Note II last time.

Don't miss out on not getting S4 (with bigger battery) a single bit!  thumbup.gif

I hear you man! Prior to my One, i was using the iPhone 5. Noted that the capacity of the battery is around 1,400 mAH, I was charging the phone at least 3 times just to get through to 1-2am.

The One's battery keeps improving day by day smile.gif

how to turn off infra?

I believe it doesnt take up any battery if the IR is not in use. As you do not need a constant connection to the paired device, (unlike WiFi)

Change system language under settings to 'Singapore'. It should work.

Ok. Seriously now. An hour after Maxis tells me no news yet, they released it on their website.

WTF?  mad.gif  vmad.gif

Its very normal to have this miscommunication. As far as i know, Maxis and a lot of other large companies outsource the social media engagement duties. Hence you get these kind of disparities
