I have a factory GPE and it has the tint issue, I think at this point the general consensus is that the tint is a hardware issue. Some camera apps deal with it better than others. Sense allows you to set the ISO and that helps a bit, stock android camera does not. But in the end it's a hardware issue. I think you can safely update the software, it's not going to affect your camera.

So if this is some kind of hardware issue then can I go for a replacement (I hav some scratches at the back of my HTC one)..so m I still unser it's warranty..??
And just out of curiosity..of this is a hardware issue than how is it affecting the other HTC one's which Did not hav that issue before the 4.3 update..??

Regarding the warranty replacement, there is a whole thread about that. Many people have seen their problem get fixed under warranty, but your luck getting your phone fixed or replaced depends on your carrier or local HTC center, etc. It should also be completely stock.
How is it affecting phones that did not have the issue before 4.3? Is it? I'm no expert, but I haven't heard of that. However, one explanation could be that sometimes this issue presents over time and not immediately. Some people have gotten phone replacements that solve the camera issue and after a few weeks, the problem appeared on their new phones.

[Q] captivate screen problem

hey all,
anyone seen this on a captivate, there are blue lines that go horizontally across the screen. making it look hazy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFyZfA4XtAA
^ Need more info from ya.
Did u recently flash something... kernel, theme, gingerbread, etc. What r u currently running. More info is better to help narrow the possible cause down. And then maybe someone will have an answer that will help.
i was running firefly 3.0 for months havent done anything new to it.
i did flash it back to stock, then did a master clear (just in case i need to warranty it, since it is only 6 months old)
the problem still exists i also flashed the 2.2 update through the kies software just incase
Sounds like may b a hardware issue then.

[Q] HTC one update?

I saw on gsmarena that there was an update for this phone mainly to help the camera, does anybody know what firmware version this should be as I haven't had any updates and wonder if it's already running it! HTC them self told me there is no such update! But there is. I'm getting great results from this camera alraady to be fair but if it can be better then why not!
Don't quote me on this but I believe they already shipped with the updated software.

it was all a bit of a misunderstanding apparently - most of the pro review of the htc one has been on the pre-retail firmware. It's this firmware that has been updated - and included - in the retail handsets.

Well After having a few days with the phone, Im pleased with the results Im getting! It does indeed seem to be working well in low light conditions
I do photography and once you learn to make the camera work for you it does a good job, The only thing I feel you lose with this camera is the ability to crop as the image is already low res however if you get the picture you set out to get your be happy.
some of the features they have built in work surprisingly well like to remove objects!
I'm also really happy with the quality of the camera.
AW: [Q] HTC one update?
The camera's quality is absolutely excellent - the best cam I ever had in a phone. For everything else, I have my Canon S95 and my DSLR

i have it 2 days now
the camera is really bad, only the colors are great
needs huge update asap
I find the Camera Quality spot on! There will be a update soon, but one there working on currently (This is what ive heard) this is to fix some minor 'teething bugs' which you always get from new handsets. . . however, camera fix got shipped with handsset fully updated. . . should be on firmware 1.28.401.7 ( will vary on models e.g branded handsets, Regions, etc)
Bumping this thread along, does any one have any news of when HTC will be updating the phone to android 4.2.2?

I read somewhere it's coming in 5 weeks or so fingers crossed
Im on Trick Droid and there have been a number of Kernel base updates in the past few days.
Most of the improvements seem to be camera and sound related so it looks like HTC are addressing the situation.
Personally, Cant see anything to moan about. Easily the best camera ive had in a phone (yet.. )
Have a look around the forum, should find more about it.
I cant wait for 4.2.2 either loool
Hope this helps. . .

Phone is excellent. But any improvements are very welcome from HTC.

Backlight flicker

OK I know there have been similar threads on this but nothing conclusive has emerged, so I'm going to ask here.
I have the backlight flicker issue which other users have reported. It is most pronounced at around 40% brightness and is reasonably consistent to reproduce. The effect is a rapid change in the light level, almost light flickering candlelight. There is no corruption of the actual display.
I have seen this both on the stock ROM that came with the phone (Orange UK, 1.28) and all the latest CM10.1 builds).
My flatmate also has a One, but on Vodafone UK stock, with a higher 1.29 version. He has no flickering problem
So, I'm trying to figure out whether I have a hardware problem, or whether the newer software on my flatmate's phone is the difference. I'm still able to get a warranty replacement, although obviously that entails trying to get the thing back to stock so I'd rather avoid it if its something that'll get fixed shortly.
Is there any consensus on whether this is hardware or software? Anyone with similar problems care to post their software versions so we can see if there's any kind of pattern?
Cheers

If anyone's interesting, updating to the 1.29.401.12 firmware fixed my backlight issues. Running the latest CM now with no problems

thanks for the information, glad you sorted your problem out.

rooting the ONE is it worth it...or should i

any one regret rooting the one ? i had a htc sensation rooted but alll the roms seem to have some thing that did not work...the one seems to be fine the way it is so before i root it i wanted some option ..... do the the htc one also have roms with broken parts of it ?
should i just wait on the updates ?
Really depends on how you use your device and how you feel about the stock setup. I didn't like having all the bloatware that AT&T packed on and really wanted to play around more under the hood, but obviously that is not for everyone and comes with all of the standard risks.
I'm running the latest ViperOne ROM and really love the options that can be set and tweaked. So many ROM options available for the device the choices are almost endless.
You haven't tried Trickdroid 9.0. Amazing rom that's not missing anything! insane battery life also
does the update also add alot of features ?
I've rooted every android phone I've had and flashed numerous roms on each one but this is the first device that I've left completely stock. I don't even have an unlocked bootloader. The phone is just fine the way it is, I will not be rooting or unlocking the bootloader on this phone anytime soon. Myself and many other users used to root our phones and flash custom roms because android phones used to be incredibly laggy and we always wanted better performance. Overclocking our processors was the norm but now android has matured so much and devices are ridiculously powerful now there is just no need to change them. Even if we were to still overclock our devices you wouldn't see a change in performance.
It's completely up to you though.
Personally, I think rooting is worth it just for the ad blocking it allows; i.e. editing the hosts file. Running a custom rom, being able to backup with titanium and nandroids, and changing radios is just gravy. And if you've ever had a device go south without a custom recovery already on it it's incredibly difficult to fix.

The wife bought a refurb Acer tablet - no warranty (I think it was thirty days.) Was ridiculous to restore. I learned my lesson, well! And I'd rather be able to fix it myself than be without while I wait for someone else to. To each their own...

yeah if this was a slow phone or laggy maybe i would,but a have read a few tread with custom roms and some are having trouble with them,think i'll wait on update....although the 4.2.2 update seems to not be coming to t-mobile,all i got so far was a small update.
I have only had the One for a few weeks, but I rooted it and flashed CM10.1 before I even put my SIM in it. Definitely worth it. No reason to deal with carrier restrictions.
t mobile told me there is no 4.2.2 update for the htc one......HTC said the same thing,so now im wondering how come people are saying there receiving this update..
who's lying

There will be no 4.2.2 update from tmobile, my guess is they are gonna skip that and go straight to 4.3 plus they said it on the internet on the news that htc said it themselves and that there would be no customer benefit for an update like 4.2.2 so they said they were gonna skip it and bring up 4.3.
The update started along the lines of outside international countries that aren't big market carriers and then it rolled on slowly...so no one's lying you just have to do some research on the internet but that 4.2.2 update never got to the US thats why it was never rolled out to large carriers to their customers..
Hopefully this gave you some insight on things that are currently happening.

It had to have been those in the UK or in some parts of the world because it started from one small part of the world, I mean those that are not on carriers, and it did end up in parts of the UK but it never got to the US and if people who are in the US saying they got the update they changed their CID to a region that had the update rolling out so really no one on this side of the US has that software except verizon because they shipped those one models with the current software, and the GPE ones got an update first because well those aren't sold by carrier they are sold by htc themselves on their website. So yes people have said that they receive it but unless there is proof I wouldn't go off of their word, they more than likely did something to their phone to get that software, they might have a custom rom on their phone or done something to get it officially but here in the us there is no word of 4.2.2 ever coming to their customers....of course except verizon....
Well hopefully this helps...if you have any other questions or concerns please do let us know as we want to help you out

Not always. Running a stock 4.2.2 Rom or something without major modifications will be smooth for a long time. I ran Mike's stock build rooted for almost a month with no issues at all.
It all depends on what you want from it. If you want all the themes and icon changes and modify this and that, you will have issues. But if you JUST want the newest version out there then I would say go ahead and run a stock build, get it odexed (not deodexed) and you will have buttery smoothness

Hi, I am looking for ROM with better battery life than Stock.
My average battery drain about 1% for about 4-5 minutes while using Internet via WIFI for browsing using JB's 4.2.2 default browser, chatting via WhatsApp, reading emails and using Blink Feed.
How about using this ROM?
Thanks.
My main reason FOR rooting, was to theme the phone red. I have the HTC one Red edition. And just love red. I also hate blink feed. Ive flashed Venom rom, and desensed it. Battery life is amazing, I cant find anything that don't work, well nothing I need to use anyway. Plus they have there own red theme, and with the help of a few icon designes from Seriously Crazy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091654 This is what ive come up with.
So worth rotting for me, if only for the theming, and gtting rid of blink feed.

[Q] HTC One Camera - Lack of flash focus

So haven't found many reactions to this problem, but the HTC One seems to lack flash focus.
As far as I know most other flagship phones have this functionality.
So how do y'all manage to take pictures in dark environments where it's too dark too focus normally???
Kinda sucks, the only workaround is to shoot a movie with the flash on and click the photo icon
Does anyone know if this will be added in future updates?? How do other HTC phones handle this like the One X??
I know what you mean. It's terrible really, I hate the camera on this thing. In Snapchat you can't even use the flash because the image just goes nearly fully white

Yeah it sucks.. I don't get it how HTC really screwed up the camera part. Don't know if it's something that can be helped with an update/3rd party software...
I thought that I was the only one with that problem.. It makes pictures in the complete darkness look terrible. Hopefully it's fixed in the 4.3 sense builds.

Yeah exactly, pretty useless at a party or concert or something :-/
I don't understand why there aren't many people complaining about this issue.
How do other HTC phones deal with this? I can't remember anymore if my old HTC Desire was able to flash focus or not.
This past weekend I took the first photo with flash since I bought the One two months ago. I don't like to take photos with flash and I prefer to have some photos looking a bit grainy but with more natural colors.
I decided to turn the flash and the photo came out of focus. It's the first one I take with the flash but I'm not going to touch it again.
HTC needs to improve the camera firmware/software in a hurry, there are issues like too much hunting in low light conditions and loooong time to focus in same scenarios. The autofocus should be faster, specially as the phone doesn't have a physical button. I really miss the physical two-step shutter I had on the 8X and Lumia 920.
