it is noticeable in the corner when using wide option even in a lighted fluorescent living room.. and real bad in low light conditions. when i closed the camera lens or put it on the table, instead of black screen, its purple.

thanks man, will check with senheng outlet if i can get my phone back by CNY. before that, need to do backup my photos, sms, and apps right? any suggestions?

Then you're the more serious ones. Better fix it.

guys, if i charge my phone and play with apps/games... will it damage the battery ? as in reduce the battery life faster?

Now both directd and satu gadget also doing the promotion on the red One. I am stupid enough to bought it exactly 7 days earlier. When I bought my phone, the red is most expensive among 3 color which is RM1,969. I choose silver at the first place and it having a camera defect so I go back for replacement. But only red and black available, pay RM80 top up to get the red one.

After exactly a week, they do promotion pulak, RM1,749 for the red unit. Even cheaper than silver and black unit.

Who else having a worse luck than me? Sad.

Regarding the camera, I think it is hardware issue tho. I saw a lot people after camera replacement it is still having the same problem, whereas some people found that it is no problem during purchase but after a few weeks or months, the problem only started to come out.

It is a very good phone. I rather they use back normal megapixel. Maybe not good in taking picture in low light but at least it is free from problem.

1 of the promoted point on this device is the camera which can capture a good quality photo under a low light condition but is it true? Obviously not. If take in a good lighting condition, it is only having a 4mp camera which is really not as good as other brand's flagship; whereas if take picture in low light condition, it is funny, mostly got problem, either tint or noise. Is these what they promoted? Can captured a picture with purple effect without any editing?

I'm kinda disappointed with this phone as One is the phone I expect and wait for so long. And, this is my first phone that close to RM2k. The previous devices that I owned were all out-dated phone which is below RM1k.

This is the first up to date phone that I bought, and it is cost more than my 1 month salary. I never spend so much on gadget things. Haiz. First thing, the camera disappointed me, second, the price, argh!! If I buy it 1 week later I can save RM220.

Sorry for my bad English.

Just feel like very unhappy with it so blah out everything, sorry guys.

Use htc sync manager backup yr photo. Also can create htc one account and backup to dropbox. All yr SMS and photo will save.

my unit claim from warranty and get back 1/12/13 so far till now no problem ..

Now I'm thinking of installing custom ROM on my HO. But is there any way I can unlock the bootloader without HTCDev? I'll lose my warranty if I use HTCDev right?

How long you waited for your device to be repaired? Mine is free from purple tint, but just sometimes have some blue/red noise if fully cover the camera lens.

I think you will lose your warranty once you install custom ROM if not mistaken.

The supervisor said mine will be courier out today and will receive the phone by tomorrow. my tribunal already and the hearing is on 9th january.
Wonder what to do now ?

Get the phone, test it kaw kaw till the 9th. If you're satisfied, go on the 9th and tell the judge you're happy with it and wish to withdraw.

If its still broken, bring to the hearing, and show the judge that their repair sucks and demand your money back.

Bro, I agreed with you on the camera part. The ultrapixel tech is exaggerated. In normal lighting condition, the image quality is as lousy as my few years old Nokia phone. However, in low light condition, the htc one seems to beat out most of its rival out there. I'd say there is still noise due to the small sensor, but then again, the I can capture usable low light image straight from the One.

If you take photography seriously, then One might not be the good phone for you. However, if you listen to its iconic Boom sound, you will love it. Seriously, when you play musics or games on the dual speaker, it simply beats most of the phone. That's the greatness of it. Anyway, everything got pro and cons. If you don't really like it, sell it while it still has the value and get the most suitable one for yourself. I believe LYN got many people eyeing on the red One especially there is no purple tint or gapping issue.

Good luck and have fun bro.

Thanks bro, but really sad that the device suddenly dropped RM200+ in a week for a new set.
Btw bro, your device camera ok? Mine is free from purple tint problem (as this is my 2nd unit) but sometimes it still have some red/blue noise come out when the camera lens is fully covered.

confirm red one doesn't have the purple tint or camera issue or etc issue?

Mine was bought in June and so far my camera still ok, no purple tint issue. HTC price was well known for not dropping much over time. However, I guess in the festive season, all vendors also tried to bump up the sales by cutting the price. Indeed it's sad to know when you bought it for a week it drops 200 for no reason. I bought mine at 2088 and now the price was ard 1.9k before this week. So i guess it doesnt hurt me that much. Directd and satugadget are ruining the second hand phone price d.

I'm sorry to hear that even for your second unit, the camera flaw still happen. Thumbs down to HTC supply chain. Anyway, M8 is getting near already. Let's see how it goes.

Why you still buy when you know got problem?

Looking at the price, I assume it is local HTC Malaysia unit with full warranty? Your options now is

1. Ask for 1 to 1 exchange from HTC. They have 14 days policy for one to one if got problem.
2. If they do not honor their policy, you have no choice to send for repair
3. If you send for repair, file tribunal at the same time
4. If the unit come back still faulty, OR it takes more than 1 month for repair, you proceed to tribunal court hearing, state your case and ask for your money back.

Full refund.

Good luck.

did anybody successfully get their refund back bro ?

Yea mine is SIS unit.

When testing the unit in the shop for nearly 2 hours snap picture here and there, cover the lens for 5 minutes but the purple tint didn't come out, but after I go back home, it suddenly pop up the camera matter. I called HTC and they request me go back to SatuGadget for 1 to 1 exchange. I go back but no more silver, so top up RM80 for the red. Test kaw kaw as well, no problem, just after a few days, if fully covered the lens, sometimes it will show some blue/red noise after a couple of 10 secs.

Now it is still within the 14 days time frame but just don't know whether want to get for another 1 to 1 exchange or not.
