I'm considering buying a n1 because my g1 just broke and t mobile doesnt offer any good phones except the n1.
I heard the first batch of phones the buttons were sometimes unresponsive are the new phones fixed?
What about the multi touch when crossing the axis was that fixed?
and how bad is the 3g problems that people seem to have is it a big issue or only happening in some phones?
T-Mobile has plenty of alternative smart phone choices, and the Nexus isn't even sold by T-Mobile.
The buttons were called unresponsive because that was before some people used the phone enough to realize that the touch responsive area is just slightly above where the symbol is, others were referring to the glitch that sometimes happens where the screen is unresponsive or touches registered somewhere other than where you tapped the screen.
The multiouch problem comes from a problem that the clearpad2000 has, and exists for all Nexus Ones. This is most likely not going to be fixed in future models.
The 3G issue is more prevalent in some radio versions than others, and more in some areas than others. Some report that the problem can be fixed with an update while for others the problem persists.
I know its not sold by tmobile but it can be used on tmobile which is what i have. And to me I think other companies are getting android phones while t mobile is getting mytouches.
But the only thing having me 2nd guessing is the 3g issue. other than that I heard its a good phone.
Just be prepared to return it if you have any problems. I love my nexus and have no issues, 3g is rock solid and I'm on a fringe area of coverage. But I use ATT. Majority of complaints seem to come from t-mobile versions.

guess its just a game of luck. maybe theyll announce a new phone at i/0
btw nice name lol roger podactor
Seems like a great percentage of owners are having hardware problems, do you owners think I should hold off on buying it or is it a chance thing?
No problems here. Its rock solid
Remember, that the very few that have issues are normally the most vocal. I bet that over 90% of all owners are not experiencing hardware issues.
Note: the only thing I have seen about this device is that some report the pink hue issue in camera, and even though mine don't do this, I'm not worried since it can easily be fixed by a software patch by HTC like the hd2
that is so true. Thanks for reminding me of that golden nugget
Plus if you do have any issues with the device (which is unlikely) then you can always get it replaced for free.
To say great majority is.funny. how did you come to.that conclusion?
Mine is great.

Hey guys, I currently own a myTouch 4g which I love, but I'm thinking about giving it to my wife and picking up an HD7. I love Microsoft's new OS and the phone itself, but have a couple reservations. First, I'm worried about the reception issues (death grip) that people are talking about. Anyone on here experiencing this? I'm also worried about the quality of the camera and the fact pictures come out looking pink. Does anyone know if it is going to be updated in the future? How are all of you liking your phone's otherwise?

there's an issue with reception? News to me...having had my HD7 for almost a month now and experiencing no problems at all with reception I reckon its an invention of the media (or Steve blow Jobs himself) to try to weaken the public perception of WP7s. Just because iPhone 4 is crap doesn't mean they have to trash others as well. But I digress... As far as camera quality...its a phone. Its not going to plop out perfect pics but they look pretty nice if under the right conditions. The 720p video recording is the same, under optimal conditions it looks great. The pink thing should be fixed, I'm pretty sure I heard it was a problem on the HD2 and HTC fixed; don't quote me on that though. As far as everything else about the phone...its amazing (excluding the missing features coming in Januarys update, already dubbed "WP8" by Chris Walsh), quick, smooth, never laggy or glitchy (cough Android cough) and is honestly just a joy. I've always been a phone hopper (mostly WM6 & BB) but I could definitely see myself staying the course with my HD7.
There are no antenna issues simply because the antena is on the lower back case and trust me the phone being massive it's pretty hard to squeeze that case even if you do it intentionally. However, if issues do appear it really might be an overall faulty device or some weak coverage.

Hey, a Romanian. My wife is from there and still is a Romanian.
Hi I have an HD7 and no problems with reception at all .. its on o2 UK.
camera is average, takes better pictures in daylight like all other 5mp camera phones..
But you will like a lot of the features of WM7 and guess some of them you will downright Hate
But still its fun and the screen is the best for browsing .. you definetely wont need to be on your comp all day
Hopefully by next year with the updates and more apps we will be rocking...
I think you will like it
i dont have the deathgrip issue although i do have a problem sometimes in my home but that is because it is very rural where i live but all in all, its a great phone
and i havent noticed the pink hue yet
Thank you so much for all of your replies! I think I'm going to pick one up today. I'll let you guys know.
I've noticed a plethora of complaints, ranging from HTC being notoriously bad with updates to gaps in the body of the device. Are these complaints worth not getting the phone, or are they just from people who need to complain and are blowing it out of proportion?

I've had HTC devices for 11 years (apart from a 1 year break for iPhone 3GS). Yes, the software updates are slow, and always have been. But the after-sales service from HTC is very good. I've had a few phones repaired and replaced without any issues.
As for the HTC One, I don't have any gaps in the body of the device. I'm on my second One. I returned the first one to the network due to their poor coverage and moved to another network. I wouldn't have got a second One if the first device was not the best around. It really is the best phone IMO available. The build quality is fantastic (better than Apple devices, and I love my iPad) and Sense 5 is so much smoother and nicer than Sense 4.
I think vigoos comment is an indication that all the negative comments will come from Samsung owners.
I was only using the updates and the gap as examples. Reading through the forums, there have been loads of different complaints such as static when sound effects play and the back button sensitivity (which I know is supposedly getting fixed).
My point is the number of different complaints. I'm wondering if its just a bias given that only the people who will complain about it are the ones posting when its really a non-issue. So far the phone looks amazing, I just want to make sure I'm not surprised later on down the road with problems.
Yes, every device forum is full of problems.
razor thin gaps is a NON issue, those that complain about it quote the marketing info.
I have gaps on top and bottom lol but i don't see them, cos my focus is on the insanely sharp and awesome 4.7" screen
OP, this phone is insane, go check it out, so what if you have tiny gaps, it doesn't make any difference to how you use the phone!
Id go to a store, pick up and try the phones. There arent any real issues with the one.
Its a quality device, out of all the phones i looked at, it was easily the nicest
Id also like to point out, my last 3 iphones had more imperfections than my one

BTW my post wasn't "aimed" at you so much just about the people who keep going on about HTC being awful when it comes to updates as it is a load of BS as pointed out by myself and other users. People simply think Samsung are far better in the update department because they were "first" to bring JB, don't know about you but there is far more to an update than just the time that it arrives. Obviously some companies take the piss when it comes to providing the update on a timely manner i.e. sony
Haven't seen many people complain about the sound, as for the capacitive buttons, that has been fixed/improved with 1.29.
I think there is a lot of confusion regarding the gap "issue" as people are expecting the one to live up to its marketing term "zero gap" but that only applies to the machined aluminium body part, the speaker covers aren't part of that process.
At the end of the day, you get a ton of paranoid people here, go on every device forum and you will see people expressing problems even the GS 4 sub forum. Also you only ever get people posting the bad stuff, hardly ever the good stuff.
There are always going to be issues with the first batch as they are rushed out and/or the manufacture process needs to be tweaked/perfected.
You get a phone that has a problem, return it for a replacement.
Considering the quality of the HTC one chassis, I would say that they have done a very good, HTC don't keep the same design for each phone and they put a lot of thought into it so to only have a few problems, as I said, they aren't even problems, simply imperfections, it is pretty impressive, Samsung have had the same design more or less since the GS 1 so have had time to perfect/improve the build quality and it is much easier to deal/work with plastic than aluminium
Good to see that HTC "might" be bringing the JB update to the sensation, should keep the HTC haters at bay regarding this area then........ (at least some of them anyway)
Rule #1, Update releases will never be fast enough for anyone in this forum.
That said I've used phones from every mfg and HTC is better than some not as good as others but they've improved IMO recently.
I would suggest buying a non-carrier branded version if you're in an area that can as those will generally get updates direct from HTC faster than a carrier branded version.

DISCLAIMER: this ofcourse is my own personal opinion.
It's true, the updates are slow, but you'll still get them even after a year. I think HTC is pretty good at repairing/replacing malfunctioning units, no complaints there. The HTC One build quality is insane, no flaws in my unit and if there's really a gap in the body of your device, I'm 100% sure HTC will replace or fix it.
My advice: if removable storage/battery are not a big deal to you, I can honestly say the HTC One is without a doubt the best smartphone out there, you won't be dissapointed. Reviews are insanely positive, saying it's near perfection. S4 only has some more software features which I don't see my self using (and the removable storage and battery ofc).
Mod Edit: Removed a reply to a deleted post.

Tell me one thing guys: Can't anybody start a thread here without some fanbois trying to fight their wars on it?
Get a life! Nobody cares if you like your phone more than any thing else. Just stay away!
If you read the OP (if you are capable only, ofc) you will see that he didn't ask for a comparison to any other phone. So stop that nonsense. Either answer the question he posted or stay out.
Just posting to see if any of our QUALCOMM variants are experiencing what the International versions are. Mine is working amazingly well no sign of an issue yet. Anyone else facing anything like what's going on with the exynos? I'm optimistic yet cautious about ours.

Yes your thread is vague and honestly simply go through the forum and see the threads of people complaining. Not sure why you would create a new thread for this or make it more specific. IJS
First off no need to be rude. Second I'm not sure why you care so much about a question I asked must be keeping you up at night so I apologize for that...... I was talking about the using the phone for a few days and it becoming a brick like several international versions are experiencing. But thanks for showing me how rude everyone can be at 8:50am...
Probably quiet few people on t-mo forum don't frequent international forum, myself included, so may not be aware of specific issues there, so lets all come down and have intelligent conversation, since IMO OP question is legit as long as it is properly explained. Sooo, as far as I know there were few complains about lagging, poor battery life and couple QC issues , which BTW none of them I experienced. Personally I have not seen any brick post on this forum, which is strange since we already have root and there is plenty of people who can't follow simple directions, sometimes myself included. Anyway I wouldn't worry too much, phone is on warranty and there will always be some quality control issues. Are you sure those are not user related, like trying to root without a clue, or taking underwater photography on your scuba dive? People don't always tell whole story. If you don't have N7 yet, wait until dust clears, if you do, just enjoy it, life's too short.

It's not a matter of rude, mate. There's multiple things that your cryptic "same prob as intl versions" could be...a little more clarity is all that was needed...

But to answer, that's a Exynos issue thus far, and nitric had been reported for Qualcomm models

Exactly, no rudeness seen in this thread its just if you're going to ask a question at least have it make sense. With further explanation from other parties it seems we now may have a better understanding of what OP originally meant to say. :good:
It appears that the problem starts after the first OTA update samsung released from what I have read. I hope if Tmobile releases it, it will be a later build if infact the software is too blame. I'm usually first to update but I may play it safe and wait a day or so when it's released to us. And in regards to the user error in regards to the problem. The phone apparently will start to freeze and reboot and then get stuck in reboot cycles and when you attempt a factory reset in the OS or recovery the phone becomes unusable. Samsung isn't sure of its hardware or software yet. That's why I'm optimistic but cautious about ours.
Good to know, if that's the case we could postpone updates and see if any problems are reported. It wouldn't be first time updates create more problems than fixes. Few yrs ago I updated my Asus computer BIOS, despite reading other people having problem (I assumed user errors). It took me 1 week and $20 hardware just to boot up, never mind countless hours of Google search, the BIOS was completely hosed on certain hardware, which I happened to have. Never bricked the phone with updates yet, but more often than not, stuff stops working the way it should, so waiting few days may be best option. Love the phone, would hate to loose it even for few days.
Well samsung had stopped shipping the note 7 due to them needing more "quality control testing" havent said why yet or what markets they are delayed in.
The article I read said Samsung stops shipping in Korea, no official reason given, except better QC, so everything else could be speculation which for now seems to point to battery as culprit. My phone gets pretty hot, when on fast charge, so I disabled it for now. But I'm thinking if the connection is not perfect, it could cause problems. I think the phone is charging at something over 10 Watts, my soldering iron is 30W.
i've been very happy with my note 7 so far. i luckily havent come across any of the issues some other ppl in this forum have. i did read about the international note 7 bricking randomly and not being able to factory restore it. but there havent been any reports of the qualcomm version doing that. so the exynos is faster and less lag but there's a chance of a random brick and the qualcomm doesnt brick but many complaints about ui lag. seems samsung hasnt been able to get either right so far. it's definitely a QC issue because it's random units these things are happening to. every manufacturing process has some QC issues come up but they want to keep that below a certain percentage. this seems to be above that percentage.

Well i have 7 days to exchange in store before I need one shipped so I'm hopeful it will last haha. On the topic of lag I don't notice alot in fact I think it does alot of things faster then my s7 edge for example when I start up I can enter my pin right away my s7 edge didn't even register a keypress for quite a few seconds after it popped up. This I can get into the phone in no time.
I'm experiencing the below with my TMO | Onyx black | Made in China (apparently there are 3 countries making them, china, korea, vietnam)
Running hot for no reason
Poor battery life
UI lag
Poor touch screen sensitivity - 1 in 5 key presses when typing is lost and other various touch recognition drop outs
If it's running hot, very possible some software crashed and its looping. First thing I would do is restart, then check battery screen to see what using it the most, maybe download something like 3C toolbox for better picture. Just make sure you're not in some particular spot where reception is spotty and it constantly goes in and out of network or keep switching towers.
Well though it doesn't sound like ours will be part of it I just read that Samsung will be recalling the note 7 in several markets due to a faulty battery used during manufacturing. Though more information will be provided in the next few days from Samsung. http://www.sammobile.com/2016/09/01/galaxy-note-7-recall-will-reportedly-be-announced-soon/
If the battery was the issue, it would be so much simpler on the older, non sealed models like S5, which was water proof and had easy battery access. All would they had to do is mail new batt. to customers. Maybe some good comes out of this, like easy to open back in the future.
The only issue i have had is with users stating there are issues. Out of all the Samsung phones i have had 10 plus this is by far the best.
Now appears that the recall will be global. And samsung is in talks with the carriers on how to go about returning and exchanging phones already sold. Never had to deal with a phone recall before.

I have had all of those issues on top of no signal for long periods and I just got the phone yesterday. I have had every Note except the 4 with none of these issues. Pretty disappointed.
