QUOTE : HTC recently confirmed to TechnoBuffalo — though it was fairly obvious — that the developer edition won’t offer BlinkFeed, any form of Sense 5 (which means you’ll need to find something else to power that IR blaster), the Zoe snapshots or the live gallery. That means you can’t use one of our favorite features: the Zoe mode on the camera, which can be used to capture quick 3-second clips that can be combined with photos into a 30-second highlight reel (which, by the way, also isn’t on the developer edition). Beats Audio is still supported, though the phone will not display when it’s active in the status bar.

Hi guys, whats the best way to warranty my brighstar maxis HTC One?


I suspect my battery has some problems. I hard resetted the phone last night, only install battery monitoring app.

It drained 5% during deep sleep, no wakelocks. Most of the reports online praises the "amazing" battery life during idle, which only drops 1% for 8-7 hours.


These are the screenshots taken this morning when i woke up. I left idle at 99% battery to see whether can i get the 1% drop during deep sleep or not (my phone line is quite stable, 3-4 bars)





I continued to use my phone as usual, checked my email this morning for 3 minutes. Made a few phone calls here and there. It dropped 8% The screen was only on for 10 minutes.







So am i crazy or the battery is really faulty?

Developer Edition? o.O I think they mean the HTC One Google Edition?

Vesto Send straight to SiS. Send to Maxis no use, they ask you to send to SiS yourself.

Hmm in my opinion to claim warranty for battery is kind of tough as you will need to convince them it is faulty and trust me that is not easy. As for your usage i have the same usage percentage as well. During sleep i will lose 5-6% if i am not mistaken with Wifi on the whole nite. To me that is normal because that happens on my G note 2 as well.

Its not brightstar meh for maxis?

It is gonna be hard. But im very disappointed with the battery life, i only can get 2 hours of screen time max.

Other users on this thread and XDA are getting 3-4 hours.

I was expecting the phone to at least last me a day without any charge

Doesn't seem to matter somehow. I could register my warranty on SiS website, and when I called SiS they had my details Brightstar is a distributor for within Malaysia, but SiS gets the stock from HTC. Brightstar and SiS website also leads to the same phone number to call for warranty.

Alright thanks

So do you think there is a chance to warranty my phone based on the problems above?

It's gonna be tough, but use the phone for a few more days to see if it happens again. Better yet, factory reset your phone and see if it was an app issue.

all these results were after factory reset. No apps installed other than battery monitoring app.

Use betterbatterystats to check your partial n kernel wakelocks to see what is waking phone when idle
SOT 4-5 hours can be achieve easily
I don't think is your battery issue until you have analysed your wakelock

hahaha.... i lol'ed hard at that statement
are you sure??.... i dun remember gnex soc from TI set the trend
and same goes to nexus s
the only time thye use a good soc is starting from nexus 4
and no. except for nexus one, all the other devices did not target only dev
nexus target was to flood the market with up to date software and cheap phone off the contract so that google can conquer the mobile industry, it din really came off except for the us market

Alright then, will analyze it and report back here

wow... the only good thing for us one user is that the base for other ROM i.e. CM will get RC version faster
i have learnt how to appreciate skinned UI than the vanilla android
the os seems bare with the vanilla android nowadays

Nexus One started the Snapdragon craze, and both Samsung Nexus were really slow in their hardware choices, while the Nexus 4 again became like the Nexus One where their SoC's became the base for future phones. It's important to note that the Nexus S used Samsung's proprietary chips (Hummingbird was a Samsung exclusive for awhile) so that was a failed attempt by Google to provide a proper base as Samsung wouldn't sell the chip to anyone else.

With the Galaxy Nexus, the Omap4460 was barely better than the OMAP4430 used in the S2, Atrix 2 and the Optimus L9. Both Samsung devices have failed to do what the Nexus program was meant to do, come out with good mature and stable hardware for developers to develop their apps for the new OS.

Then the Nexus 4 appeared and Google seems to be on track again with their original intention. New but mature hardware for a new OS. Almost every phone you see in 2013 is a derivation of the S4, now renamed to the Qualcomm Sx00 series.

boy you got it really wrong
samsung will nto proceed if they don get the nod from nexus. and if based on OS, JB runs fine on a dual core phone...
it was all samsung who started the 1ghz core, then dual core and quad core race
nexus follow suit not the other way round, nexus one is based on GS, Gnex followed with dual core after the success of s2, not the design though and nexus 4 is based off LG Optimus G
nexus is never about hardware and will never set the trend, be it soc, speaker, camera and screen... it is all about the software and the nexus experience...

edit: think i am off topic
back to discussing HTC one
anyone enjoying the wide angle of htc front cam?

Guys, your phone usually get hot when browsing net? I know it surely will generate heat coz the screen on and data usage, but sometime I feel it is slightly above my expectation, I mean it get noticeably warm on my hands..

yup normal cos its metal back. It does get warm however sud not be hot till you can't touch it.

YES, this HTC One is indeed I'd say the warmest/hottest phone I have used so far. It is about 3-5 degree higher than say Note 2, S4, Xperia Z for same tasks. You'd feel the warmness more also due to its metallic casing which conducts heat better

Yup, the One is a bit hotter than the HoX when gaming, but it cools down so so fast cos of the metal body. Other phones usually have plastic or glass bodies, and the heat is trapped inside. This makes the outside seem less hot but the insides are all crying to cool down
