I believe the multi touch cross axis issue has been fixed along with the stuttering scroll you'd get (Inside chrome) if you laid your thumb out flatly on the screen.
I can no longer replicate either.
Sent from my Nexus 7

the multitouch issue is still present on mine.
to avoid possible confusions:
issue occours when the tablet is not held in hand or connected to the charger. i.e. grounded.
edit:
the 'bubbles' live wallpaper seems to have a more blue/greenesh color now.
(but could be my imagination)

New location access menu

Just wandering if the random flashing black line has been fixed with this update?

Cross axis still present ;( No decent multi-touch yet.

Any idea if the slowdown once you are <3GB space left issue has gone?

it is? where?

I (and two other people in the touchscreen dead spot thread) can confirm that this issue is fixed. Those of us whose screens started dropping touches and behaving erratically after a few minutes of use no longer have it occurring after 4.1.2, something I am overjoyed about :laugh:
I have noticed that the issue of crossing axes while ungrounded still occurs, but that's entirely forgiveable imho since it's so rare that I don't hold the tablet in my hands, especially for multitouch.
The prism issue persists (washed out colours in general and especially after video), but the Prism Toggle app in the market can disable it with root, so it's not a bother for me.

Meh.
Update doesn't seem amazing to me. Think ill just stick on 4.1.1 for now!

My Nexus 4 is an embarrassment

Apologies for the rant folks but I need to get this off my chest!
<rant>
Google needs to fix the Nexus 4 bugs fast
My state-of-the-art Nexus 4 phone has some major issues that aren't just frustrating - they're embarrassing. The camera will often stop working, especially when used in low light or after taking lots of pictures. I was out for a Christmas dinner with friends last night and we asked the waitress to take a picture of the group. I handed her my phone and ended up red-faced because the bloody camera wouldn't work. I also had the camera freeze with the flash still lit up on numerous occasions last night. How the hell did this get through testing? This isn't a one-off - it happens *every* time I try to take lots of pictures. I expect the camera to work.
Can you imagine the furore if the camera on an iPhone did this? People would be foaming at the mouth.
And the camera quality is pretty poor with many shots out of focus and terrible red-eye on others (with no red-eye reduction mode available) and none of the fancy new image filters can fix it. Yet I'm pretty sure ICS had a red-eye reduction filter.
And I also have a WiFi issue which means my connection speed will drop from 40MB to around 2MB for no reason. I have to toggle WiFi off/on to clear it. Rumour is that it's a problem with the WPA2 encryption used by some routers but I have yet to prove this myself and all our other devices are fine, my Nexus 7 included.
And this morning the phone rang and I couldn't answer the call because the buttons on the incoming call screen simply didn't work. It was charging at the time which I expect is the issue but even so...
In my humble opinion Google needs to get a 4.2.2 update out that addresses issues like this quickly because right now I am seriously considering selling this device and getting something else.
I am not your beta-tester Google. This just isn't good enough.
</rant>
I feel better now. Sorry if this thread sounds a little selfish but I expected so much more from a Nexus device. My 2011 Xperia arc S might of been a bit laggy but at least it was 100% reliable.

Well then return it.. or maybe learn how to use it first.
Personally I don't have any of these issues.

I no issues with my camera from Christmas dinner last night either, from 3 to 8:30pm EST I was snapping away.
No wifi issues here either.
Either yours is broken or some crap app is causing the issue.

Had the camera thing happen to me yesterday. Also have a screen bug that makes part of the screen disappear.
Buy I consider these android problem's which can be fixed. Not Nexus 4 problems.

That's just the price. The actual specs could be considered state of the art.

I'm not sure why the 350 price tag seems to give people a sense of cheapness. This is what a high end phone should sell for. Instead companies **** all over the little people of the world by inflating the price by 300% and lots of times more. Google is merely just sticking it back to those companies and also marketing their ecosystem...

Google says(look at the specs of the phone)... BTW I use the crap out of my N4 camera and have not had these problems. Also I leave mine plugged inost of the day at work (I'm in a vehicle) and have never had an issue with answering. Id RMA it but it up to u if u wanna wait and see if 4.2.2 fixes these issues. I would have though 4.2.2 would be out by now but oh well.
Using Tapatalk 2

did you put in a custom rom?

The camera bug is well documented as are the WiFi problems. This is not just an issue with my device. I'm on stock 4.2.1 fwiw. Maybe a reflash is worth a try but I doubt it.
Funny how when anyone dares to criticise this device people get all defensive though!

I've had some times where the call and lock screen are unresponsive. Usually there is a home and back button at the bottom for seemingly no reason and I have to hit ”back" to get back to the state where I can use the lock screen.. I'm guessing this is causing the call screen to lose interactivity sometimes as well. I'm suspecting issues related to lock screen widgets/extra functionality/Google Now as none of this used to happen on previous revisions, it seemed to start when that feature set was introduced. I also accidentally bring up the camera from the lock screen which gets annoying, but that's more my fault in the way I pick the phone up sometimes if I "pry" it up when it's sitting against something. Annoying, but whatever.
I have had no camera issues specially yet, though I haven't used it extensively only occasionally.

We are all beta testers for any phone we use. How do you think they know what to change and fix for future models.
Still it sure does not seem so awful for most others.
Plus, we have no idea what apps you may be using that may be messing things up.

I totally agree with OP.
Was in Switzerland last week and the camera also decided to stop working, flash would stay on, screen wouldn't turn off and it was boiling.
Turned it on and off but during those 2 days happened more then once.
It was embarrassing because I was telling my family how good this phone was but they just laughed at me. Everyone one else has an iPhone even the kids (3 iPads, 4 iPhone, 2 imacs)
So difficult to get one so might sell mine. I want a phone that works and I am not spending my money to do beta tests.
Ps. This is my second one and I we are not even talking about the rattle and the buzzing

Menu button

Please tell me you can get rid of that ugly black bar menu button in apps. Is there a way to route the menu button to holding down the back button or something? This will decide if I buy the phone or not.

Yes it is possible but at the moment only of you root. The option was available in pre release software so it's always possible HTC will include the option in a future update.

How can you not purchase the phone over a silly problem as that?? anyways rooting is an option also wait for htc to update it

It's not a dealbreaker to me but I understand that it can be for someone as it takes away some screen real estate. For the same reason software buttons are a dealbreaker to so many people.

Because its annoying and takes up real estate on a screen that is only 4.7". I'm confident it will be fixed via software update. But if would sure piss me off until then. Assuming this thing ever gets released I the US... I'll still buy

Both of these. It's annoying as hell and I don't want to "hack" my phone to get rid of it.
I'll wait and see if the US models have the option to get rid of it at launch. If not, different phone for me (I'm not going to wait for a software update that could "possibly" happen).

Honestly... If this was the only new phone coming to the market this year your argument might make sense. I dunno his opinion but for me. I like having a consistent menu button and not having onscreen buttons... Now when you have this and the galaxy s IV among other phones coming out or currently out... And like some of the stuff with each, and one has something that you know aggravates you, it could be enough to send you to a different phone.

I am the one who made the mod to remove that menu button on the screen and reverted back the option to map it on the back button. Apparently it's just a bug and they did not remove it. So expect it to be fixed/back on the next standard update when the phone is already released globally.

I thought exactly the same way and even cancelled my pre-order because of that but after playing around with a mates HTC One I was like.... woah this ain't as bad as I thought it would be and ordered one again a couple of days later.
Trust me with the screen as big as it is you end up with the same usable space with the menu bar as the Nexus 4 and I am sure a firmware fix will be coming in the future and/or apps will be updated to match the google guidelines (facebook are you seeing this!!!)

Where did you hear it's just a bug and you expect it will be fixed in the next update?

Like I said I was the one who made that mod in the development section. Obviously I already know how it functions/why it's not showing up in the menu/why it's not working in the stock ROM. And the whole code was in there and intact. It was just not updated so it's not showing itself in the menu options.
If I translate the code in english language it goes like this.
Back menu option: Hey are you "HTC One-debug"?
HTC One: No I am "HTC One"
Back menu option: Sorry then you can't use me I'm only available on a device named "HTC One-debug" not "HTC One"

I asked about where did you hear the information about the fix in the next update not kiddie speak for explaining how you fixed the issue.

1. Properly designed apps that use Google's design framework will have an in-app menu button. So no black menu bar. Vast majority of apps now won't require the black bar.
2. HTC got rid of it on the One X when user feedback said they wanted it gone. I see no reason to assume they won't do it again if enough people say they don't want it.

Like I said it's just a minor bug. HTC just skipped updating this one piece of code for it to work on the production units.
Meh! I give up! lol

He was merely explaining how the bug worked to point out that mapping Menu to Long-Back option is, actually, meant to still be there. HTC simply forgot to make sure that scripts in all places were talking about the same device.

Flaming isnt necessary really
People use their phone differently, its the same reason why theres never a "best rom" or a rom with the "best battery life"
And to the other comments, its likely not to be patched so that they have more reasons to sell a "developer" version

I may have a bad news related on HTC to bring back button remapping options.
Just saw engadget chinese mention in their HTC One review about that Google MIGHT be the force behind that lead to HTC sudden removal the remapping option from HTC One's newer ROM because Google insisting the menu button must somehow be 'observable' on sight.

Unbranded One receiving OTA (4-22-13)

Just stumbled on this by accident:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245907
Basically, One owners are getting OTA update 1.29 that addresses the difficult to press capacitive buttons, improving slow motion low light video recording, better balance the Beats Audio experience (left/right audio), reduce background noise when using headphones, and improve bluetooth device matching.
Lets hope Sprint doesn't drag their feet on this one or ships with it.

My phone came with 1.29. I thought we already had this ota?

Remember though that the last digit in htc's file names are important also.
We may have 1.29.651.7, but that's still pre 1.29.709.12. The 651 and 709 is some carrier/region code.
The .7 means that it is older. I would suspect that if we get an update soon, and it's not a huge update, it will probably be 1.29.651.12+.

I WANT MY HOME BUTTON FIXED!!!!!! I'm gonna swap it today for a new phone to see if that helps. My fear is that the OTA (.12) is to try to compensate for a hardware fault with the home/back buttons. Many people have reported trouble with the buttons, many other have reported no trouble....yet HTC released that .12 update in Taiwan where they specifically say one of the bugs fixedis the unresponsive home/back buttons:
1.29.709.12(214.04MB)

Could just be bull****ting. I see tons of people on 3DS forums say their version of X game isn't running under 30 FPS like everyone else, even though it clearly is. Some people just don't notice these things. With that said, there may be better versions, but I'm guessing there's a ton of people that just don't know any better.

Performance Update

According to Slashgear.com there is an update that will fix some of the quality settings in the camera. Read on :http://www.slashgear.com/htc-one-updated-with-camera-enhancement-suite-and-more-in-europe-23278984/

Yeah, a little disappointing to see that this update isn't moving out to all HTC One handsets, just in the UK. Looks like we'll see the same pattern for updates coming to phones as we've seen in the past. 3 months at a time.

It also depends on the carrier. Hopefully they'll send it out soon.

It has only been pushed out to UNBRANDED handsets in Europe and Asia. This is software 1.29.XXX.12 (where XXX is the region code) and contains many fixes. Personally, the fix I'm most eager to see is the fix for the home/back button sensitivity, but who knows how long it's gonna take for Sprint to push this.

I'm going to root this mofo and let a ROM set the sensibility for me.
There are little quirks here are there that I would address if I could..
I wish they would have implemented a dedicated camera button.
They are making this phone a camera first, phone second item.
They should have kept it the dedicated camera button like the 4G LTE.

This site has a before and after shot with the camera. One can def. see an improvement.

I hope more people call in about this and report it that way things can get done quicker.
