That is normal. Most high end smart phones are like that with exception of Note 2 which is 3-5 degree lower

Every company has their own strategy in designs. Samsung had proved again to the critics that keeping their own design signature cues in their phones is still a right move. Personally I don't find Samsung designs "horrible" or any other manufacturer phone designs. In current stiff competitive market, I am sure Samsung and Apple know much better than all of us in deciding its design. You can point out what you dont like about it. If you dont like any of the phone manufacturer design, just don't buy it. Personally design is in my lower rank of criteria in buying any smartphone. No phone manufacturer these days comes out with ugly design - it is just a matter of whether one likes it or not. I have openly said here I had never like HTC One design on its front speakers ( though many of you will disagreed ) but I still buy the phone for its other purposes/value. I still prefer S4 design over it anytime and I own both phones

I bought the phone just to test it out, similar to the S4 and other smartphones I have bought ( if you don't know this is my hobby ). I still prefer bigger display phones , eg my Vega No6 ( 5.9 inch display is now my main phone ). The HTC One has obviously better audio quality and I love using it watching videos in bed : only at night before sleeping . Actually I'd say this phone is under utilised - will be selling it off after I get bored with it. Given a choice between S4 and it, I will pick the S4 as a preferred phone
My main usage ( 80% ) is internet based and since its 3G/wifi is weaker than S4, and too my previous Xperia Z, Note 2 - so I rarely used the HTC1 for such stuffs . Noted this seems to be HTC weakness and is consistently poorer even in my previous HTC One X, One X+, Sensation vs Samsung phones.

I'd say many people are impressed with HTC One design. I am one of those minority who is not. I do not need to follow the crowd-lah! As said before, wait till you see HuaWei Ascend P6 ( launching in London 18 Jun) - this is one phone that really impress me with its design and build. I have a brief handson testing when I met up with HuaWei execs about 2 weeks back

Install the HTC usb drivers separately first
Depending on windows OS to search is most tiresome

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191279

Once you connect your phone wait short while. The PC will detect install the drivers. It could take half a minute n this is only done one time. Or try another USB port. If you still cannot get another PC to detect it than possibly usb connector in phone problem

Found a possible saftey glitch for HTC One.

I rubbed my kuku against the htc one screen while in lockscreen mode all over the glass area, and after just a few seconds of rubbing my kuku tio zapped. Light current, but shocking nonetheless.

Then I tried the same with another HTC one (mine was 64, and the other is 32gb), same thing, kuku head tio zapped by light current.

Happens only to kuku, other body parts are fine.

All bros intending to rub your kuku against your htc one please beware.

Tomorrow going to HTC service centre to demo and show them how kenna zapped.

I think is just a fake ficticious posting
Imagine he wants to demo it at HTC service center!!!

I used a PISEN power adapter for this, Search for this in garage sales of lowyat. It cost me RM 15 from EBay and about same price from garage sales
However you will get to see a warning message displayed saying something like you are using incompatible charger and advise to disconnect from it

You should as it could be a contact problem

similarly, try run any exe file on mac osx itself .... the guy who can do such will be a millionaire overnight

We are talking about running it natively on these OS not through any mods

E bay. And link to purchase was even posted by I remember 2 users here. Do a search in this n previous thread

If you have PayPal means you have a credit or debit card link to it. Unless your card already expired than just update it

If debit card you must get bank to authorized it for online transactions first. By default it cannot be used for online purposes. You can only have this activation done at bank itself

No idea. Why don't you Google the phone specs to compare

Download the android SDK n run it
Look at the packages n download the android os version you want
These will give you the adb n fast boot commands
What detail guide? You want some one hold your hand n show you
Google for it
Anything you Google don't understand than ask here
Example : how to use adb n fast boot commands?

SDK is simply the software development kit that enables developers to create applications for the Android platform. When you execute the SDK, it will install fastboot , adb commands in your PC

ADB is Android Debug Bridge
- It’s a “bridge” for developers to work out bugs in their Android applications. This is done by connecting a device that runs the software through a PC, and feeding it terminal commands. ADB lets you modify your device (or device’s software) via a PC command line.

Fastboot is one of the commands you use when you want to flash stuffs onto your phone. You execute this at terminal ( ms dos prompt) in PC , eg if you want to flash a recovery you type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
