Been using the iPhone 4 for the past three years. Time for an upgrade, but the 5S is just too expensive especially for the 64GB version, so I'm thinking of getting the HTC One instead. Where do you guys recommend I get it from? Are the threads over at the LYN sales okay? https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...6174&hl=htc+onehttps://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...8927&hl=htc+onehttps://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...7414&hl=htc+oneAnything I should be wary of, especially the warranty? |

QUOTE(mansooriqbal @ Oct 25 2013, 11:31 PM) directd lowyat forum. google it. Get it from him. Oh thanks! Brightstar is the authorized distributor for HTC right, along with SiS? I thought the warranty is 2 years? But I only see 1 year in the sellers' threads... Any idea where I can get the HTC One 64GB in red? |

QUOTE(mansooriqbal @ Oct 26 2013, 12:14 PM) only 1 year now since 2013 jan. Red 64GB not out yet I guess. Only 32GB available. I would suggest you to wait one more month. Or before you open the seal check through serial number that your phone is made in after september. why? so that u make sure tht the phone inside the box dont have camera sensor purple tint issue. You can check the manufacturing month of the htc through serial number using this website. http://sndeep.info/enWait one month because the red 64GB will be out or because the units before that have a defective camera? Just did a quick search, wow, apparently this purple tint issue is pretty widespread? Is there confirmation that new units do not have that problem? Btw, I had a quick run through with my friend's One, and in the music player I couldn't find the volume slider. Is the only way of controlling volume through the physical buttons? That would be very annoying, especially if the volume steps are too big. This post has been edited by QuickFire: Oct 26 2013, 12:33 PM |

QUOTE(mansooriqbal @ Oct 26 2013, 12:36 PM) red 64GB i don't know when it will come out here. And same for blue color htc one too. Dunno when it will come out. I think 32b enough la.. get cloud storage better (y). yes wait 1 month so that this camera issue is gone for good. Apparently a lot of people sending thr phone to service center. The service center is changing the camera and motherboard to fix this problem. And yes my htc one has NO problems at all as it was just manufactured 1 month before, that is end of sep production. So no issues with that. I bought new htc one start of sep and send it for 1 to 1 exchange before 14 days policy for RMA so I got new replacement set instead of they repairing it. But then the new set also had problem so RMA again then the third set they gave me was from new batch and had no problems at all. So yeah. Wait. Oh and not ALL old htc one phones has camera problems but yeah 80% of old HTC ones do... at least here in Malaysia. You should consider LG G2 if you're looking to buy soon or Note 3 or Butterfly S in grey (looks sexy) I need 64GB for all my songs... You bought yours from directd? I'll ask them if it's the new batch (after September) before buying. Any problems with your RMA process? |

That bad huh? Isn't the HTC One one of the best smartphones around? Should I reconsider getting it and get something else instead...?

QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Oct 28 2013, 09:19 PM) It still the best phone except the camera you have to be very careful. The phone is very smooth and I have no problem even never encounter any single hang or abnormal problem. You have to make sure you get the latest batch of phone. September onwards. And also must test properly on the camera during the low light. The camera problem happens to me is 1) Purple tint - Fixed after replace by SC 2) Pink spot - pending to send back. Please deal with the seller who willing to exchange 1 to 1 with you in case you hit any problem on camera. It looks like a fabulous phone. But one thing (apart from the camera) is that the processor is second tier now compared to the snapdragon 800 found on the Xperia Z1. I tried both- the One is smooth, but in google maps you can feel a slight lag. In the Z1 it's flawlessly smooth, like iPhone territory smooth. All that being said I think I still prefer the One. I asked directd, they don't do 1 for 1 exchanges. Do you know anyone who does? |
