Hey guys
I am going to buy a htc one so I need some guide.
What exactly does mean M7 and Ge model?
Which medel is better?
How to know the mentioned model from the Box or serial number?
Which model or serial number is better and have had minimum problem of violet color in camera?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

M7 is just the "codename" for the HTC One that was used whilst the phone was still in production. GE is Google edition. Neither model is "better", look up the differences between them, it's down to personal preference. The only difference between them is software so whether or not your phone has mechanical problem comes purely down to luck.
Get the normal edition, GE is boring (at least for me!)

Depends whether any company will make such a case for the M7. There wasn't a software limitation which prevented any company from making a dot case. The issue was that no one was interested in such a case. Now, with the release of the M8, the situation may change. We don't know
I don't think so
If the case is pretty good sold it is possible but normaly no
Hi all,
I stay in India and I am planning to order HTC One from United States as HTC One is not available in India Anymore. My only question is..
Has the issue with camera resolved on the latest build? I mean the purple tinge? If I am buying from HTC Website, it would be a new build right? So will it have camera problem or only initial builds had it?
If anyone can please suggest me on this, it would be helpful as I wont be getting warranty if I purchase from abroad.
It's fixed on the m8 apparently, but I'm not sure about the m7 but it depends on the one you get,, mine has it but it's hardly noticeable, I'm getting the m8 eventually so its not a bother to me.

Some will have the issue, some not. I was unlucky. I had the issue. The M8 wont have it, so ull be 100% safe. BTW why arent you buying the M8 ??
Also, the M7 is very much available in India. Which city are you from ??
And, if you're ordering from the HTC website, that will be the Developer Edition. And i have doubts whether they'll ship to India......

I am thinking to buy M7 as the price was reduced by almost $100 recently.
M7 is not available as single sim variant, only Dual Sim is available and its not developer friendly
As I mentioned in initial post, I will be getting it imported from United States (one of my friend will be getting it for me)
Not buying M8 coz i cant afford to spend another 10K
How can I check if the purple tint is present on phone or not? How to recreate the issue?

First, install all updates. TBH, the 4.3 update screwed my camera the most. The issue is also present on Kitkat. So, update to the latest version and see if the issue is present. Place the camera lens-down on any surface. If the image is exactly the colour of the surface, then you're safe. If there's a purple tinge, you have a problem. Otherwise, just wait for night-time and take a pic outside. U can easily identify. The only solution for this is to give it for repair to HTC. But, the US model is VERY different from the local model. So, HTC might not repair it even if you agree to pay for repair. Just FYI,

Thanks for the suggestion on testing the phone.. I will try on that..
BTW the ebay link that you provided.. is it safe to purchase from eBay? I hav not purchased anything online for that amount
Does custom firmware help? I mean to reduce the effect?
Also are there any settings or so if that effect can be reduced? Because spending a 30K for a phone which has this major problem is an issue

HTC One M7, Anything that says 801c or listings with the numbers on the back of your phone should be compatible.
Hi guys,
Hope to hear your opinion about the issue.
I have purchased HTC One M7, in Settings->About->Reports menu i see red text that says that this device is for testing purposes and that specific information about the phone will be collected by HTC anyway.
Is this device from some pre release quality assurance lab or something? Or it's just a firmware dependent message?
Is it legally at all that this device is sold to end customer?
Thanks.

You generally got this message if your phone is s-off. Nothing to worry about.
I ask, how can I buy an original HTC One M7, because I live here in Kosovo and no where to buy it, just want to be ok, do not have any defect, even if it uses no problem?
Who can help me to find a solution?
Thank you ...

If you have access to ebay in your country, there is a chinese seller that sells new M7 phones for pretty cheap (around 200$ US), they are 100% original, one of my friend bought one and everything was ok. It was a PN071000 with the 7.19.401.2 software installed on it.

Hi I also seen your PM regarding this question. I'm sorry I have no strait forward answer. There are many devices for sale on eBay and similar sites. But obviously I cannot guarantee the condition of such devices. Or maybe there are some sort of legal restrictions in your country that prevent you from buying from such sites?

For example, this here is okay, because I've difficulty know about the performance of HTC One M7. Where written description Camera - 4.0 Mp, is okay, because I know that is 4.0 UltraPixel ???

Like I said above, all M7 are equipped with the ultrapixel 4MP camera.
So are these one linked above having ultrapixel camera = yes because all M7 phones are equipped with ultrapixel.
Btw if you care that much about the camera, I wouldn't suggest you to buy the M7 since the 4MP ultrapixel camera is really bad imo. If the camera isn't the most important thing for you then the M7 is a great phone.
