nzh0920 actually the gap is not that visible in black than silver/white. Mine has imperfections at the bottom speaker panel. lol

@nzh0920 Thanks for the info bro! will try to get mine very soon!

Guys with those imperfections you still bought the phone? I'm gonna check mine at the shop before going home with it

Rayan92 To be reeeeeally honest, I can't see gaps on my phone. So, not much visual defect. Plus mine is a black one, can't really see unless u look straight in it.

But best to check first la, if can test the camera also. Got red/purple/blue tint, don't buy. Ask for another unit.

Oh yeah some models have defect in their cameras, thanks for the heads up! Stealth black is the best
Any other tips on what I should look out for lol? is this camera defect easy to spot or like only appears in dark or very light conditions?
I was originally planning to get Htc butterfly S but apparently Maxis will not get it until like 3-5months..

For me..I wouldn't go for butterfly s though the battery is attractive..I would wait for device with snapdragon 800

Rayan92 Erm, the issues consumers posted worldwide would be : gaps, camera, colour bleed (not entirely sure what it is), rough edges etc.

As for camera defect, just launch camera and face the camera unto your hand. Make sure your hand covers the entire camera. The screen should be pitch black rather than having Red colour noise. In some cases it was blue/purple. Another thing was taking pictures in low light conditions, the sides would be purple/blue. (None that I experience before)

@livinginsin Yeah but for me snapdragon 600 is more than enough as I won't pushing the phone too hard

@Iceflame21 Really appreciate your tips man thanks!
so many defects lol..Ok will check those at shop to make sure!
At least since you don't seem to have those problems I have a bit of faith in the One and hope these problems aren't very common...
cheers bro!

Rayan92 Yea, if u want more defects. Google for more. haha. Hope yours will be a perfect unit!

I think that might be true. This phone is the first phone I need to send back to service center because of unacceptable camera, on top of the gap issue . The Gap issue I knew before hand and is careful when buying . But the camera purple tint issue I was completely caught off guard. I guess when they delay the phone in April/May that they still have not yet solve the camera supply problem, they just put whatever QC failed camera they have into the phone.
Thats why a lot of complaints. and those who did not complain is either always taking photos in bright daylights condition & never took a low light photo, or just waiting for a right occasion to find out that there is a problem with it.

Come to think of it, If getting the phone now, I rather get gaps but no camera problem , Gaps you wont see when you slap a casing on it but the camera you use every other day.

Really hope HTC fix all the One issue when they release One Max.

Gap, imperfect finish, purple tint camera.

I think I should try in low light conditions, so far all on bright light conditions which are all awesome.

Keep us posted bro lol , I really hope yours is fine!

true, as long as camera no problem then gaps issue i dont really care d, since got otterbox d. i will still going for it, wish me luck

Oh gosh , i just discovered i have the purple tint issue

Iinm someone said htc service centre at opposite time square already closed or they already moved inside time square?

Rayan92 hehe..u have your point too..even with our htc one, most of time the cpu is spend at 384Mhz..lol

WTA: did anyone know how much HTC one housing replacement cost?

Hi Bro, later i will go to HTC Service Center Berjaya to collect my HTC One. I will try and ask for you ok.

Good news that they called me 10 mins ago can go collect my phone. Happy to hear the news. Just hope the phone will be fine without any other damage.

Wish me luck!
