well, ive spent my evening while waiting for buka puasa reading that thread, it seems, people there take care alot of their device, and yet it still crack..and its happens out of nowhere, thats what make me scare, its 2.2k u know..

HTC did an excellent job replacing my friend HTC one motherboard.  I couldn't see any trace of casing being removed. The very very minor gaps that was there has even improved. Biggest issue was he needed to wait about 40  days for it.
One week after I sent in for him he bought another unit (64gb). Two days after I got it back for him, I sold on his behalf. He make a loss of rm1400 selling it as he needed to pay rm700 for the motherboard change. Anyway this is peanuts loss as he change phones like it costs him nothing!!!

Something does not add up, if it's really a build problem sure a lot of people here got the problem already. Unfortunately they also could not find the reasons it happened. By the way, yours black or silver? Going to add to the owners list.

What happened to the mobo uncle? Fried? Why he have to pay for mobo change? I thought it's covered under warranty? 

Mine is black ht35gw.:-),s on,hboot 1.54 :-(
yeah,just watched htc one hammer test on youtube,he smack it pretty hard,still no crack whatsoever on that unit..kinda relief abit..

Hey guys don't complaint about the build , there are ways of problem solving .
you can have xtreamguard as the back cover to cover it or if you very typical please go and get the aluminum side protect , so you can skip the casing .
= D , it's not going to change once you have bought it into your hand .

Happy Friday =P .

PS if you want the side protection PM ME lol !

I don't really get what you're saying. Aluminium is not supposed to be scratch resistant. Metal phones obviously run the risk of scratches easily compared to plastic phones. 

agreed. i bought the phone and enjoy the premier feel. in order not to scratch it so much, i bought a case. it's trade off, it's either u get scratch or wear a case. it's still a good phone. well, i already said i will go naked after few month of usage. currently will still protect it first.

I'm currently using it naked but with extremeguard. Give few months and i'll  take the extremeguard off. 

Actually is stock ROM perform well? I quite lazy to root and flash HTC One. Need register dev, s-off etc 

Don't have experience rooting HTC

its perform quite well here..im ex galaxy nexus user, all i can say,even using stock rom already feel better than using AOSP roms..unless u talk about custom sense 5 roms..i think its more optimize, no bloat ware, no BS app whatsoever..if u on older hboot, e.g 1.44, just s-off and enjoy the freedom, but if u like me, on 1.54(damn regret for updating), just wait for s-off..

you mean stock Android better than Sense 5? performance wise?

I think he means the other way around

logically stock will perform better compared to skinned android, but on HTC one, compared side by side on my galaxy nexus(4.3 rite now), its performs better, thanks to snapdragon proc, and extra ram..my conclusion is, i found no benefit going faster than this(for me la)..idk, i just own this phone for 3 days..still amazed at the speed..

so, yes, its performs quite well on stock sense 5..no lag here and there..

Yeah confuse 
ah I see. If I get it I guess I will use Nova to get rid of blinkfeed. Really hate it 

my reply here is based on htc one rom it self, not on universal of android..hehe..sorry for confusing ya..

why hate blinkfeed?   i like it soooo much..its like flipboard on steroid..
