hey guys,
since this is the new device
it would be an honor if you can post all of the problems that related with One
would be good for future references
--
These issues are documented if you look around dude
but for this thread
some had speaker problems.
while playing back video footage noticed a hissing.
some batterys crap.
some cameras maybe crap
bare in mind though these phones were first batches its not unusual.
Mine was a first batch phone and had a screen that flickered and the top left of the screen wasn't flush... the power button was VERY smooth with the device too which made it extremely difficult to use.
I've had no problems with mine except when plating music at maximum through the headphones, it will occasionally sound briefly distorted. That's not exactly specific to just this phone though.

The power button is supposed to be like that because it would look ugly if the power button was sticking out too much.

Bluetooth and speakerphone switch off
My AT&T version definitely has a problem with both Bluetooth and speakerphone modes switching to handset mode during calls. I am not even touching the phone so no fat fingering. Oddly the A2DP works fine because I stream audio through a Jabra Cruiser 2 to my car stereo using the FM transmitter and this never drops. The Bluetooth connection is still active when the call goes to handset mode, I could hang up using the Jabra but just don't get call audio through it after a few minutes. This is a pain while driving, anyone else experience it?

Yea that's me. If I hold the phone with my left palm covering the handset it loses some signal. Not a huge problem.
The worst things about the device at the mo are the awful battery life (which should be fixed with a custom Rom) and the cheap build quality. I've just sold mine because of these issues.
Nice screen though
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Yeah the battery issue is definatelt software related. I'm getting much better battery after uninstalling alot of the LG crapware that came with the phone.
A custom ROM would be perfect for this phone because the hardware is really good.
I am also noticing serious signal drop when my left palm covers the left side. However dont have issues in making or receiving calls. Not sure if it will affect 3G usage though.

I absolutely love mine!!! I won't be upgrading to the Note 2, I just don't see any valid reasons to. Everything I've ever wanted on a phone...the Note has got it. Besides... I love the capacitive buttons are awesome when lit up in a dark room. I'm not a fan of the physical button.

So far, I am pleased with the original Note..... But a few quibbles I've noticed: It's a little jerky at times (not nearly as smooth as wife's GS3 running same OS)..... I figure it must be because only 1GB of RAM... Also on wifi calling it doesn't always hang up the phone and on occasion, hasn't let me answer an incoming call either.... Maybe jellybean will fix some of these issues? (assuming we get jellybean). Overall I'm pleased and am glad I did not wait for the Note 2 (screen will be too narrow IMO) I like surfing the web in portrait mode

Down load NoLED from the Play store. No root needed. Works great and I say even better than the LED that comes with the S3. With NoLED you know exactly what you missed.
When I first went to capacitive buttons from the HD2, I had thought that I missed them. Then I got the S3 and I knew instantly I missed the capacitive buttons.
Give NoLED a try and I think you'll be happy.
---
I do wish the Note did some of the things the S3 does: Like video previews and HDR photos in the camera options. I know there are other apps that can do that but I like the stock of it.
The one thing I was extremely glad that Note doesn't do vs the S3 is the gallery previews. The S3 gallery shows every picture in a tile mode like preview, the Note shows them in a group mode preventing embarrasing moments if some one looks at your gallery.
LOL..... I hear you rosedog.... Hey not to change the subject (of videos/photos)..... But I downloaded "Dice Player"..... enables a smaller/floating video player window over top of what app you're running (just like the stock capability of the GS3).... It works pretty well, too

You're not too picky. I traded my S3 for a Note a week ago. I def feel my S3 was much more snappy. Everything was just a bit smoother, quicker. Love the capacitive buttons and bigger screen, but miss my 2GB Ram and LED notification.
Will def upgrade to the Note 2 when it comes out.

so let's say i'm watching a video in landscape but i decide to rotate the phone 180 degrees during playback. the video will rotate to accommodate the new orientation but i wonder if the speakers will rotate as well.
exmaple:
an F-22 raptor flying across the screen from left to right would be mismatched with audio that's going from right to left.
anyone that's had their hands on the unit notice if this is the case or not?
I don't think that will be a problem. Audio should align to the screen orientation

I just got my AT&T HTC One. I tested the same video and my sound does not change when rotated.
The bottom speaker is always the right channel, in YouTube at least, - in that sound test.
Is something wrong with my HTC One?
Just an FYI, and perhaps unrelated, but I got my Nexus 7 (2013 model) tonight, and it DOES properly adjust the speaker channels when you flip it, instantly. So the HTC One is just bugged in this regard. Very odd it hasn't been fixed.

Ok so long story short I posed in the HTC One Themes and Apps subforum requesting a louder speaker and in call volume everyone seemed to say they have no problems and the phone gets really loud. Any past S3 users who wish the speaker phone and in call volume was louder?

I used to have the s3. Only thing I feel was better was signal. I jump between 3g and 4g a lot more vs the s3 where I had a constant 4g signal. Speakers are great everything is fine with my One other than the signal issue it's not the death grip either regardless to wether I'm holding the phone or it still jumps.

S3 didn't get nearly as loud as the One can. Turn off beats if you want it louder.
Signal issues are software and are present in every HTC phone on release unfortunately. The problem is simply that it gives up on an LTE signal too quickly, not that it can't receive it.
Compare dBm with your s3 side by side.

Same here with the signal issue! This has been a problem for me since the Evo Lte, I traded my S4 for the One becasue of the superior quality build but seriously Im starting to think that LTE is more important to me than the build quality and Im very positive this wont be fixed with an update because the evo Lte still has the poblem.

this is the hong kong and taiwanese flagship we will get it
Definitely Taiwan will get it first! Look at One X+, Taiwanese version got 4.2 before all the others.
I really hope they fix the audio crackling at high volumes, perhaps my unit has a defective headphone amplifier, but another user, tsokh, also noticed the same thing =/ Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 600 had a similar problem, but I contacted HTC the rep told me that nobody else has complained to them about this issue (but then again I contacted HTC North America not Taiwan, a bit of a language barrier and they give you similar replies everytime there).
Also Beats Audio is kinda buggy if you listen to speakers with Beats on, and plug in your headphones the volume increasing effect of Beats is actually reversed and it actually decreases your volume, then turning Beats off actually increases the volume (leading to the audio crackling too). Even worse, after I do this, I start getting an occasional audio ZAP like not crackling but a loud squeak at the same location of a song.

It's noticeable only on some type of music and only with high level of volume - you can't hear anything with moderate volume level.

It's only occurs with songs that have a slow deep bass, example would be the slow part of Touch by Daft Punk, some R. Kelly songs. With most songs audio quality is great but I notice a little bit of high-pitched EMI on the left channel at the beginning of each track.
The audio crackling is very apparent with in-ear headphones and earbuds, if you have the volume above 11/15. I find 12/15 to be the ideal listening volume so I do notice it a little bit, but using PowerAMP it SOMETIMES doesn't happen. (but with PowerAMP I get occasional audio popping as opposed to the crackling distortion)
With higher impedance on-ear headphones you only get it at the maximum volume setting (Beats off).
The HTC rep advised me to have it checked with RMA (I might just go to a service center in Taiwan to ask about it the next time I go, it takes about 2 weeks for a factory repair though)
Does anybody use Bluetooth for listening to music? If it doesn't happen on Bluetooth it might be the headphone amplifier.

are you getting the same problem? I thought it made sense because the Butterfly s uses the same chipset as the i9505 GS4 which also had its own share of audio problems. It might only affect a few units as daorderdillon says he doesn't have the same problem with the song in question. It may also be that only 901e are affected as he has 901s.
Strangely I never got this problem on my One X+ but I did get constant skipping which bothered me but mostly only happens if the screen is on and I'm doing something with the phone. Original HOX had a bad DAC and a lot of users disliked the audio quality (never tried myself), HOX+ much cleaner but kinda lacking in bass and treble.
The new update does seem to make the touch screen more responsive. I was having problems with the shift key and the back button, also playing Lep's World 2 where the jump button didn't always respond (perhaps it's because they updated it recently). Finally, there used to be a continuous hiss in the background even after you stop music playback. With IEMs the hiss is still quite noticeable at the beginning and end of songs (including a high-pitched EMI on my left speaker), but it stops soon after you pause the music.

sorry haven't rooted (yet anyways), still a noob here =/... Due to that headphone issue which I think may be due to the amp I don't want to risk my warranty yet, I'll be going back to Taiwan in a few months and maybe get a repair...

There isn't much difference actually the camera seems the same. Keyboard and buttons seem to be more responsive as I had some problems before under the screen protector.
Also, charging animation means your screen will always be on, I only realized this yesterday and I really hate it - what if your screen burns in? (good thing it's not AMOLED, but still there might be some retention as I get that on my iPad 2) Right now the only solution is to charge under standby mode.
What is the version number of this update?

I just got mines today for my 901S software version is 1.23.708.3 and i think the software version for the 901e is 1.21.709.3
Still haven't got mine yet. Are there any new features in Sense 5.5? Can't seem to find any videos.
