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

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

I use an app called keyboard backlights from play. Works great but recently in occasions they come on anyway. They are off 80% of the time though. Can only do if your rooted btw

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

Vibration issue

What does the vibration normally sound like? My HTC one has a metallic vibration sound. I'm not sure if its broken or not?

Same here...

"Metallic Vibration"... Did you know that your phone is made from metal aluminum? HENCE the metal sound you hear

I think I heard someone else mention that it was the OIS moving around in the camera

My first One had the rattle with haptic feedback- which was coming from the camera lense. The One I have no does not have the rattle when typing.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Just got my One, it's going back tomorrow. When I first turned it on, there was this obnoxious rattle from the haptic motor. This was NOT the camera.

Noticed a new feature( u ppl know aboit it?)

So i was watching tv with my phone head facing towards the tv. I received a phone call and boom, the TV muted automatically. I tried it multiple times with the same result every time
Was this a known feature coz i've never seen or heatd about it before

Not that I ever noticed I got to test it out myself
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Yeah. I knew about it. But the ir blaster has to be facing the TV.

Isn't this only a feature in smart remote? I didn't think it was built into sense.

HTC One noise gate set too high for calls

I recently got a second hand HTC One and flashed the GE ROM. Now using the same exact sim and network provider as my N4, the noise gate on the One is set too high for phone calls!
This basically means that when I'm talking to someone on the phone, if they are not talking loud enough, they are cut out all together. So when someone is really soft I hear nothing at all. When someone is on the edge I hear them ducking in and out. And when someone is taking loudly I hear it perfectly clear.
Call volume does not effect this issue, and it doesn't effect media in any way. So it's happening on the phone call before it gets to the OS. But after it gets to the phone.
Any ideas? It doesn't seem to be a know issue that I can see. Is it a hardware fault?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I have always had this trouble, and did not know why. Thought my service was shawty. Would love to find out if a fix is possible, as it can be a pain.

Good to know I'm not the only one. It must be something set by the hardware (or the firmware).
Are you can running HTC Sense or a custom ROM?

I have the same problem on ARHD

So It's got nothing to do with my ROM either. Maybe that's just the default that HTC wants you to use.
If someone can find any information on how to change this functionality, I think we'd all appreciate a link

Proximity Sensor Not Working During Calls?

When I pull the phone away from my face to use the keypad or switch to speaker or end the call even, the screen doesn't turn on. I turned off just about all of the motion sensors in settings would that have something to do with/affect the proximity sensor?

Screen protector?

Don't have one at the moment.

Try factory reset. If I t still does it exchange if possible.
sent from my sm-9005.

Is anyone else experiencing poor proximity sensor behavior during calls? Proximity works great during sensor tests, but fails to turn screen on/off during calls correctly. Problem is identical across 3 seperate Note3 devices I've tested and oddly I get the exact same issue on Galaxy Mega.

Mine works most of the time. Every once in awhile it flakes out. Same on my note 2 but it was very very rare on note2. I am possibly thinking it might be these cases with fatter lips I've been using since there is so little choice for a great case. My diztronics tpu is awesome but sadly it doesnt fit proper with wireless charging cover and I ruined it trying g to mod it.
sent from my sm-9005.

I'm not using a case, screen protector, or anything. Exchanged my device and a few days later the proximity sensor is failing 100% of the time during calls. It works flawlessly for everything else...just buggy with stock dialer.

Maybe an app that is causing chaos. I had a speakerphone app bork my proximity sensor sensitivity.

Mine annoys the **** outta me, as soon as I make a call, phone in had, on table wherever it may be the screen turns off.

With this many people having issues with it, it might be an app that's causing it because testing shows the sensor works right?

I had the same proximity sensor issue on my first brand new N3. I think it was faulty from the start. when doing the sensor test, the screen would light up when you place your hand over the sensor, and stay light up when you move it away.
I even reset it to new a few times with the same problem. I got tired of the problem and did a warranty exchange. The new phone works as is. I also went to my local BB where they had a Samsung booth and tested all the N3s they had there. None of them had the proximity sensor issue. I believe it's a hardware problem.

Wow.
Man I'm having this problem also!

I had the same issue and requested an exchange from ATT. So far so good on the new one. Very frustrating issue!

I am having this same issue. Besides that and super high temps I honestly don't think this phone was ready to come out.

There's a separate setting in the phone app to turn off the screen during calls, and it's set on by default (I think). Could that be interfering with the sensor?

No, that's the setting to activate the proximity sensor during calls or not. Turning it off deactivates the sensor. Then you manually can turn your screen on and off during calls.

What else do you have installed? Any xposed mods? What FW version are you on? Have you tried it from stock? Just curious. I honestly do not have this problem.

My phone was also doing this. I realized that if anything was hooked up to my bluetooth my proximity sensor would not work when I put my phone to my ear.
