Are the new Ones, perhaps including the GPe, shipping with sub-par mics compared to the launch versions? Anyone know?
Thanks

Anyway to tell what mic?

As we know, the double membrane Mic is going to be swapped because of it being exclusive to Nokia. HTC said it would go through the stock of current mics and then switch to a different. is there a way to tell which your phone has?

New HTC Ones

Does anyone know when HTC will ship new batches of the One? The defects (gap and raised screen) will probably be fixed by the time the 2-3 batches are released so does anyone know when they will be shipped? I upgrade in July and am hoping all these problems are gone by then

I didn't want to take the risk of getting the new Microphone set up they have to do because of the lawsuit with Nokia and the company that makes the mics for the one..
But there was word about ramping up production double in May

What defects? Sorry im a bit confused about this thread. I sell these phone and work with them daily and I really havent noticed any kind of physical defect. I'm actually pretty impressed with this device and it's design.

Sometimes they have gaps between the plastic and the aluminum, is it a huge deal? No. My girlfriend's one has a small gap but she doesn't care because she has a case on it anyway.

Yeah sometimes its not a huge deal but a lot of people have been reporting pretty big gaps and the screen not being placed in the right spot. And some are reporting dead pixels

It doesn't really make financial sense to have the early adopters be able to get a plain Android experience. I mean we already gave HTC our money why would they provide a "software switch" and risk having brick several devices. And I'm sure the carriers won't allowed either.

If it was released by HTC it wouldn't brick our phones.... Also why wouldn't the carrier allow it? They have nothing to lose from it. And lastly, the stock android One is the same price as the one you would buy from sprint or att off contract.

I've always remembered basic updates Froyo to Gingerbread bricking phones and having carriers pull it afterwards. Even recently T Mobile had to pull the LG L9 update to jelly bean.
And I'm sure the carriers wouldn't like their bloatware being removed.

The IR blaster is still going to be on the phone so you can just use a 3rd party app for it. Or maybe Google will add that feature in 4.3?

The IR blaster would work actually, it just wouldn't come with a dedicated app for it.
Three of those items, camera/video mix/Zoe are the same thing considering all of that is in the camera coding.
So your list boils down to two things. No flip board and waiting for HTC to modify their camera software.

i've read something about some speakers got damaged, that's why htc reduced loudness in the new update (temporary)..
I made a mistake as Im not on 4.3 but on 4.2.2 anyway I cant say I can feel boomsound power, just an average playing speakers

Those were my initial thoughts as well, but I think it depends on firmware. Some early models had really loud volumes that were lowered in subsequent updates. There are mods on this forum if your device is rooted to bring it back to those really high volume levels, but if you don't have root you're stuck waiting for htc to roll out an update that may never come...

Hmm. Check out the viper one, insertcoin and a few others have links to such mods in the first post of their respective threads. Can't remember any specifics, but most sense based roms have such mods linked in the description.

Alright I compared my device with two other ones in two different shoo and confirmed mine volume was lower playing same track on youtube, even staff member agreed. I called HTC, explained and was told I must send my device for repair. It took them about one week and I got my One back. There was no description included explaining what was done so I contacted HTC again and was explained that apparently speakers have been replaced due to being faulty. I didn't have chance to compare my phone with any other one after this repair but I will definitely do. In my opinion completely nothing was done as I can't see how speaker can be faulty playing sounds less loud - it works or not, that is how I see it. Also I cannot find any signs of disassembling device, which is good but can also mean that it was never opened.

It'd be nice if they would simply make an 8-ultra-pixel camera, I only skipped the "One" simply because of the resolution limitations & memory-expansion.

Was? Curious, is it still an issue for you? I almost passed on the one for the same thing. And even though there are times I wish it was there, not having it hasn't been as annoying as I thought it might be.

They(HTC) no longer hold a stake in the company itself, but that doesn't mean they don't still have licensing. From what I heard, Beats will continue to be offered.....but, that could just be rumor too.....
According to these articles, it sounds like the M8 isn't going to be much better than our current device. 2GB of RAM, UltraPixel camera (no reference about actual pixel count)
I hope these specs are not correct because I will not be getting it if they are.
HTC you need to step up your game on this device.

I'm ok with the rumored specs, my main concern is what size battery is HTC going with? Anything less than 3000mAh would be an epic failure.

The phone would need to be a bit bigger for a larger battery. I think that battery life on my DNA is awesome. Although I do run a custom rom and kernel (latest cr-palmer kernel). I really don't think that they should use a smaller battery either, hopefully it will be more advanced.
I have a feeling (other elevate members will know what I'm talking about) HTC is considering going back to removable batteries.

I just wanted a SD. The only real world significance SGS4 has over this HTC in my hand is signal strength, battery, & SD option. My S4 isn't rooted, but signal way better
