cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?

Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch

Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.

Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.

I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.

Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

Does Your Home & Back Button Stop Working?

I'm wondering if I've got a faulty device or if it's maybe a software bug. I know there's a topic in the troubleshooting but id like a simple yes or no and if you're using a screen protector or not.
So, do your back & home button stop working randomly for about 10 seconds?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

I do not have phone, but as I read not only in this forum but others, use screen protector will cause problem for these button.
If you arwe in same situation better to remove protector and see is it still there.

Yes I had the same problem and it now seems to be fixed after removing the screen protector. It's a bumber as I never use a phone without protecting the screen !!!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

I've got a spare so I might cut off the lower portion covering the two buttons. Hope it's a simple fix!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Yes, using official screen protector.
Not willing to take off the screen protector, but the intermittent nature of the issue suggests it us not an issue with the screen protector.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I've managed to cut off the section covering the buttons in hope it'll make a difference
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Anyway it is a problem if use screen protector will cause it.
Anyone not use HTC screen protector but other brand has no problem? Or has same problem?
If the problem happen with any kind screen protector then it is serious.

It's happened to me on many occasions and I've not got a screen protector on. But it works normally most of the time. When it doesn't I just lock and unlock the phone and the buttons start to work again. I'm unsure if it's faulty or not.

According to htc's customer service rep it's a known issue with the sensitivity of the buttons that will be fixed in a coming update.

I am also not using protector and have the issue
Not only button but some time the other part of screen also daily to response
E.g. I notice when I call using Skype it takes 2 to 3 second for call to start after I press the screen
I hope it is not hardware issue and they release an urgent fix or update.
Thanks

Contact them on twitter, they generally get back to you within a day, see what they say.

Also that sounds more like an issue with the app, I had similar problems with some apps on my galaxy s2, as well as on my One. Could be wrong though. If you do contact them please report back to here, id like to know if its a hardware or software problem too.

Unfortunately having the same problem and the phone store and htc are acting like it's my unlocking of the bootloader fault.
Can we say for certain it's a software issue?
I am kind of stressing out over here :-\

I have a newer batch and don't have the issue, sense 1.28
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Get my new one today, people go on about the build quality, it's been overheating, dead pixels, flickering of the screen on the keypad, poor home buttons, scuffs and sharp corners from the metal overhang for me.
If this one sucks I'm just gonna exchange for a GS4 upgrade instead.

I am also on sense 1.28 actually 1.28.401.7 to be exact.
It doesn't happen often and if it's only software then I couldn't give a crappie but I am a but worried that it's a hardware issue.

Edit:
It's back again after sometime. So, raised RMA. Let me see how it goes.
Seems after disabling power saver & enabling haptic feedback, the back button issue hadn't come yet. Just coincidence or fact I'll update after testing further

I have talked to HTC customer, they say HTC will fix this in next update.

Is this a widespread issue, happening to everyone?
I noticed when I was restoring apps using Carbon from my Nexus 4, the repeated act of installing an app from the market, then pressing back to return to Carbon, my back button would not respond and I'd have to either wait 15-45 seconds, or turn the screen off and on.
I have since had the back button stop working while using Tapatalk, Blinkfeed etc, any app that causes heavy use of the back key to, well, go back!
I am reluctant to unlock the bootloader and try ROM's based on a newer base if it isn't known to fix the problem, as I don't want any difficulty returning my handset if the fault is hardware. Current ROM is stock 1.28.401.7
Cheers!

I thought this was a hardware fault not a software fault ?

Got to be rooted and have to install a custom kernel that supports it. Heads up all custom kernels as far as I know has bluetooth calling issues due to HTC not releasing proper source. Streaming is fine.

Same here... Honestly, I haven't had faith in custom kernels since using them on the original EVO. They were the cause of too many issues. Random reboots, freezes, serious lag, etc.

I'm looking forward to not having the added "..." menu bar on non-JB menu compliant apps, that alone is making me impatient for sprint to release the update. I haven't heard anything about eta for that though...anyone else know?

Haven't heard anything in regards to a release for the Sprint or any US Variant. I know we are supposed to get 4.3 in Q3 though.

Im impressed long pressing home>htc logo as menu. Why? Because when typing it was too easy to attempt to hit space bar and instead hit menu. This will fix that problem.

Can you be a little bit more specific. There is a solution for all but Sprint versions. Is there a Sprint specific kernel which supports the logo?

4.3 update problems

Has anyone else noticed the 4.3 update made your one slow ? and xda app is crashing im headed back to 4.1.2 until the bugs are worked out

It seems the same to me. Not slower but not faster either. I haven't tried the xda app because I use tapatalk

Crap. I was hoping for better news. HTC promised a fix and apparently delivered a half baked version of a fix. Less tint isn't a fix. Thanks for sharing though.

Mine runs better but then again i am still locked. Judging by the OP going back to 4.1 i bet he flashed it on his own, which probably accounts for a large amount of the issue.

Mine is noticeably faster. The xda app has been god awful since the last update, so that is not due to 4.3.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Mine runs great. XDA app sucks. I'm stock unrooted and locked so yeah.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

No problems here! enjoying the update! Also not rooted or unlocked.

Don't use the XDA app, but everything seems good for me. Completely stock, not rooted. Longest I've ever kept a phone this way, and if I can find a way to tether without root, I don't know that I'll feel the need to for a long while.

i didn't flash the update i went back to stock and then updated to 4.3 ... im s-off so i just went back to 4.1.2

I'm not rooted or unlocked. Never have been in this phone. I'm noticing faster than normal battery drain and a laggier scrolling experience if you will. Phone still flys, but not what I expected.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

No issues. Actually much better as far as power saving. Much faster. More responsive. Sea never crashes for me. Stock unrooted not s off. Just updated. I haven't found one real need to s off yet.

My battery drained faster today then normal by about 2 hrs
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

did it last afternoon, and then did a factory reset. I didn't see any power drain problem, maybe even better, but the signal strength seems to be lower, which according to others might just been the data signal strength.

I noticed the laggy scroll too.. and transitions back to the home screen

I'm having an annoying issue. I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time but like to turn off the vibrate function in apps like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, etc so I don't get a vibration when someone tweets me, emails me, etc. Since the update, it still vibrates when the box isn't checked. Can anyone try to replicate? Thanks

No problems here either. Runs great. Stock, locked, and unrooted.
