Which screen did you buy? I cracked the glass on my HTC Vivid, but everything is working fine still. As my Nexus 5 comes in today, I figure I'll give it a shot at replacing the screen one of these weekends. I found some tutorials online but I'm just not sure which screen to buy since there are so many options online.

I started tearing my phone down, chickened out 1/2 way through. Ended up paying $125+tax although I traded 2 old phones in and got it down to $60.

im not sure which one, got it off amazon. it was $20.00 though so it wasnt to expensive

Replacement handset - do I reject few issues or live with them ?

Got my new one replacement from 3 yesterday and most of the handset is perfect
I can see a little defection on the plastic between the glass and the body but my wife says she cant see it , but I know its there so it will bug me
however ive just been checking light bleed and my screen at the top isn't fully sealed
Do I reject the handset and get another replacement ?

Get that **** replaced, you have 2 years to live with that phone, and it doesn't cost you anything to get it replaced.

Just speaking to 3 ... they can replace again - my thoughts entirely .... should be perfect but it isn't
annoying thing the fault I had before is not apparent on this handset grrrrr

Am also with three, received my second handset yesterday and have a third one coming Monday, which they assure me will be inspected before it leaves them.

third handset en route to me also will be with me on Tuesday .. not good is it if this third handset has faults
im swapping to the s4 which pains me
hopefully the 3rd handset will come from the new batch - what was the fault with yours ?
fingers x for you - let me know how you go on

Can you guys post the first half of your serial numbers to check what batch these replacements are coming from?

They also said that I can keep getting the phone replaced if it's faulty as long as next time I don't connect the phone to wifi/the network next time, as it's still 'new' in their books if you do that.

HT338W what ever that means
3 cant stop you connecting to the internet , if a handset is faulty its faulty - what happens if you connect it and then find
the microphone doesn't work ?

You're right, they still have to replace it of course, but they're easier to deal with if you don't connect it to stuff. Personally I don't have problems with them replacing it but others have had issues with them giving them more than 1 replacement.

Ill completely check my handset then before connecting
I usually buy unlocked handsets but as said have always been with 3
this is the first handset from 3 for some time - bit unusual 3 faulty handsets
I was being picky with the small issue with the plastic round the glass but wont put up with glaring light from the top !
If my serial is HT338W (which was the same as my first handset)
which batch does it come from ?
Is it the same as yours ?

That's the 8th of march I think, same factory. Could you check the audio if you have time please? Connect some headphones, turn the volume down to the lowest on a quiet song, is there any background noise, a hissing noise?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

The batch from 8th of March from either factory (HT or FA) seems to be the one causing problems. I am due a replacement, hope I get a later batch. If the serial number is printed on the box, I will check first before unwrapping the replacement.

course ill have a look for you when I come home
if my next one is the same start of serial its going back without even opening it

I think in the countries where HTC One has already released, getting a replacement doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get a good one because you are getting from same batches again.
I'm hoping us getting a month late will help about those kinda problems.

Just spoke to 3 to ask them to check the handset before it is dispatched they advised they can't open the box
I asked them to check the serial number again they can't do this
Pot luck also 3 handsets is max if next one is faulty they well have to collect the handset asks check it before any more replacements
Fingers x next one is fine or I'll be less than impressed

Weird thing about the handset I've got at moment till I get my 3rd replacement the heat is a lot higher .. I've been surfing for a bit and it's hot to touch didn't notice that on my first weird

How strange, any new apps? If the third phone is no good I think I'll wait for the s4, which would be a real shame.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

None that I can think of it's cooled down again
Not sure how it goes when I've took out a new 3 contact and paid my old off can I don't delay my contact if the handset isn't for for purpose ?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

If you don't connect the phone to either their network or wifi then you have a 14 day cooling off period, when you can cancel your contract. Not sure how it works with paying off your old one. They offered me different handsets over the phone, they might try to charge a couple of quid extra for the s4 but I doubt it will be a problem
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Alas I'm over 14,days and connected my first handset to the network so I'm stuck with contact which isn't a problem as I make good use of the internet and get good coverage with them (I took me contact our and paid my old one of)
Would have to use not fit for purpose but I'm hoping the 3rd is ok

I`am super happy with the One running ARHD 12.1 and stock kernel. Ruuning smoothly and fast, good batterylife and great radio reception. Maybe you have a somehow faulty device.

I think he's just trying to stir up trouble, as it would be extremely unlikely for all of these things to happen, no way would his battery be draining that badly, and he keeps mentioning the S4, so just leave him to it

2- in my findings phone A is not more likely to scratch then phone B. Its all based on time, use, situation and pressure. If your Optimus was in the situation the One was in then it would have scratched as well.
3- this is a network issue. Me and a friend with an iPhone were in a low signal room. She has AT&T I have T-Mobile. I started receiving double texts from a friend she didn't. A few minutes later she started receiving them as well from different people. Its a network issue plain and simple. Likewise with your second post I would get a new SIM it sounds like it may be detective.
4- if its really broken (only use the official HTC charger and cord to test) contact seller/HTC for a replacement.
1- being an all metal device the One has higher standards then a plastic device. The 'defects' the One has such as gap are still well below the tolerances used for plastic devices. Even with all that the build quality is still leaps and bounds better than 99% of android devices. I think your feeling is based on your other perceived issues.

First off all
I always had a good signal never problems somehow now he even doesnot wanna connect I putted my SIM card I'm my other phone and it worked so that's number one.
About my usage I'm really secure and look after how I'm using them my optimus black has fallen 3 times really bad but not scratshes with no gorrila glass so thats just weird for me.
About charging I always use the one of htc.
And my battery life is no 4 hours my bad sorry it's 8 but it's still lower than first (ididnot upgrade to 4.2.2)
And first I could minimum 14 hours
At least Idunno if the black one is better build maybe I could change it to that version.
And just about HTC one people Iknow face problems to it's just I don't wanna buy a phone For 550 euros what has this problems it's just not acceptable that's my opinion because idont wanna send my phone back to a service center and wait 3 weeks or a month For a new one or fixed .

My phone has no problems other than having to keep an eye on the battery. I keep screen brightness low and use the power saver and it's fine. The phone is fast and works great. It really sounds like you have a defective unit that you should exchange for another. Best of luck.

Screen lifted

Does anyone have their screen slightly lifted from one side? It's like the adhesive is missing resulting in the screen lifting just from that part bending the glass abit. I just noticed after my hand sliding off the screen I can feel that it's been lifted. Will this be considered a manufacturer defect allowing me to swap the phone for free? Also how exactly does this work? Do I just show up with the phone and they swap the phone or do I have to take everything such as the box? I already took precautions and locked the bootload and ruu

It's not raise a lot but it's best to fix things early before they get worse. It's to the point where if u push on it u can feel the screen sink abit. I also got that red noise issue

Give them a call ..hopefully you'll get a good rep that will leave notes on your account for repair or replace at your local pub (sprint ) ....haha yeah ..what's this red noise issue ?

So I just went in and they said they refused to help me because my phone was purchased through best buy. I guess I have to send it to HTC and see if they will fix it since I've unlocked although I wouldn't see y that would be an issue. Also tried bestbuy and they were no help since I was past the 15 days and I had no issurance. Time to see how it works with HTC

If you are within 14 days of original purchase, you are entitled to have your defective phone replaced with a NEW phone. If that is the case, that may be why they are "refusing" to help you, just poorly explained. However, if you are outside of that 14 day window, any Sprint corporate service center or ASC (authorized service center) should be able to help you with your issue, although some techs who are on a limited exchange budget may argue that your issue does not affect device functionality and therefore not qualify for an exchange. Not necessarily my opinion, just throwing that out there as a possibility.
As far as coverage and costs if you are outside of 14 day window:
If you have Best Buy insurance, go through Best Buy for a free replacement.
If you have TEP/ESRP, go through any Sprint service and repair location for a free replacement.
If you only have the manufacturer warranty, you can go through HTC for free replacement (could take up to two weeks and you might have to pay for shipping) or go through Sprint for a fee.

It's a known issue. People were posting about the raised screen when the phone first came out. Like someone said, try a different tech/store. I have argued till I was blue in the face over the phone about stuff, hung up got a different employee and had the next one give me zero problems.

HTC's service is s...

After having my HTC One for 2 weeks I encountered a problem with charging my phone. So arranged a HTC repair. Packaged the phone with ALOT of bubblewrap and boxes. Phone took quite awhile to be repaired and sent back (15 days). After receiving phone back I noticed the HTC repair centre had damaged my phone had scratches and dings around camera speaker grilles and Usb port area. Plus my Bluetooth has not worked properly since disconnects from connected devices, won't auto connect or if I try manual connect my phone crashes. I have pushed so hard for a resolution to this but they are useless and after a month they have send they will repair my phone but really I expected a lot more apologies and new phone. What other great experiences have people had? Thanks
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I don't have much to add but what charging problem did you encounter? Also why didn't you just return the phone were you purchased it? Most stores give you 30 days to return the phone if you have any issues. And my last question is exactly what does the title of this thread intends to say?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

From my experience and most I've heard the title is obvious for that. I bought the phone brand new 2nd hand so was not in my name etc. And Usb port was faulty and would take ages to charge would put phone on charge at night wake up in morning and it would reach about 80% max
