Hi guy, just received my replacement htc One and the QC is even worse than the first. First One had an uneven top speaker slip (sharp edge overhang) uneven glass and recessed power button. This replacement is uneven top and bottom with sharp speaker slip overhangs to left again, sim tray is tatty, but the worst issue (and a new one) is the volume rocker that is so proud of the body on the screen edge you can see where the chrome plating finishes. I've spoken to my supplier and they are sending another replacement. Love the phone, hate the QC. Has anyone got a close to decent unit? First was HT serial, second is SH. Anyone else seen the volume rocker pics (see attached)
Cheer
I've gotten two perfect units. It just luck when you order early on. It sucks!!

Thanks for the reply, I also noticed a lot of glue residue around the volume rocker too which might be connected to the issue.
What seems to be consensus on the quality of this phone?

LoL well if you get a good unit then it's amazing if you get a bad unit then HTC is devil and has major problems The phone seems to be great quality like HTC usually does. There are some issues right now as the phone hasn't been out long and they are trying to pump out as many as possible. I by some miracle have gotten lucky with the ONE. This suprisses me because I generally have to exchange phones I've done as many as 5 before I got a perfect unit (haha it was a iphone 5). It's really a crap shoot when phones are first released if you are the kind of person who can spot a dead pixel on 468PPI screen then you are the kind of person who is anal retentive about their phone (nothing wrong with that I admit it proudly heck I inspect phones under high powered flashlight and direct sunlight ).
I can't really say anything other then it doesn't appear that there are any more bad unit with the HTC One than with any other phone. Unfortunately most phones get released with some manufacturing bugs that have to be worked out.

Cheers for the reply, ordered another replacement, hope for 3rd time lucky!
I just wanted to let you guys know my situation.
I have had problems with the build quality! I got my phone from Carphone Warehouse (UK) on Friday, I noticed a dead pixel and that the vibration was really loud (sounded cheap) so I took it back, the 2nd one I got the power button rattled like mad, I swapped it again and the same thing is happening with the power button. I am sick of it now and although the software is superb I cannot deal with the build quality. I'm now on the hunt for a different phone.
Cool story bro if your letting a freaking button keep u from keeping a phone then idk what to tell u

My power button makes a little noise too...but only when I shake the phone. Which really isn't a problem for me.

Sorry to hear man. While I'm sure your not the only person that will have this issue, I'm equally certain most will be just fine.

I can imagine it being annoying but lets not forget the iPhone 5s has many reports of loose/rattly power buttons too and they cost double of what the Nexus 5 costs.
Not making excuses for LG/Google but even Apple isn't immune to this.
Recently I even saw an article about the Note 3 having a loose or crooked home button. In all reality nothing is perfect, there is a margin of error allowed for every phone that comes off of the line that's just how it goes.
I don't think the build quality is the best, it feels quite cheap and feels as if it could break easily. The Gorilla Glass 3 feels amazing to touch though!

And that's why I wait for the problems to iron themselves out before I order a new phone.
power button is fine on mine however the volume button edges are razor sharp and seem quite rough.
Anyone else have this?
nexus 4 first releases had issues with the buzz noise in the ear piece. risks of being a pioneer user for the phone? At least you can freely get it replaced for now. after I RMA'd, I received one with perfect build quality. Keep trying!
Must be lucky then, no dead pixels here and any noticeable backlight bleed and the buttons are fine apart from being slighly rough on the sides. Cant fault the build quality here and I would say you're simply unlucky, 1 dead pixel is nothing in a display and for just a simple thing as the button rattling when you shake it... who shakes their phones?This reminds me of the silly thread in the N4 section where the autofocus for the camera caused a rattle when you shook the phone yet alot of people went OCD on it and were livid on such a small issue.
First part with the dead pixel I believe is fair but you replaced it and got one that didnt have a dead pixel so BQ doesnt sound like an issue...

Yep my note 3 home button was loose...but thats an $850 device i expect better than that. The nexus is dirt cheap so no biggie if something like that happens...
sent from Canada via my S3,S4, Note2 or Note 3. (nexus 5 on the way!)
Just out of curiosity has anyone elses buttons rattle when you shake the phone. Im only asking as a point of reference. I know many will say it theirs doesn't but lets be honest Iv heard it a million times then I go to a store and try a a few and find they all do to some extent. It would be great to hear from those that have the phone and honestly,
hey if it rattles it rattles it will just be the way its made that results in a rattle. I would think it strange though that LG would put so much effort into making ceramic buttons for durability and longevity then not fit them properly on production.
so I would suggest this is probably normal although i never tried shaking the phones I had hands on today though,
The ones I had hands on did have a sharp edge to the buttons. Didn't bother me though its simply the type of material they are made from. Its not like it will cut off a digit and nice that it felt solid. It also had a nice click to them as well when using them.
When I get me N5, if the only issue it has is a rattling power button I will be more then ecstatic and consider that one hell of a device.
I wouldnt care as long as dust doesnt get in the screen Im fine. HTC always had that issue. Plus I am getting a case so I am not worried.
Solution to your button problems:
Get a decent case, like the Spigen Neo Hybrid: HERE

Get a case it should keep it from rattling. I think the phone is too good to return for a reason like that unless you wanna switch it for another one again u might get a betternone
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Tbh in all the ones Iv held there isnt much to go wrong. Unless there is any noticeable pixel issues.
the only thing i foresee as being a common fault cry will be the back plate and any gaps between the edge of this and where it meets the phones frame because its secured in with clips around the backplate. So its logical to assume that since its not glued or screwed down at every point around the device there will be points that you would be able to get a nail under and bend/flex a bit more than other points.
However this is not a fault its just through the way its secured down.
Besides this and the sharp edge of the buttons there is really nothing else to be faulty on this. Earpiece and speaker all seems to be of good quality and screen is gorgeous.
Like everything else there will be the odd faulty one that slips though but im pretty surprised at how well this seems to be put together

Just a quick pol to see out of those who have a Nexus 5 how many have a rattling/loose power button?
Got mine today...started off ok, after an hour it started rattling whenever i tap the top right corner (well, whenever i tap anywhere really)...
Rattling like a maraca
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I don't mean to start an internet war here but this is nothing new. People complained about this from the Nexus 4 and many other phones before it. It's a pretty damn common thing and not really something to get upset about. RMAing the device will most certainly yield the same results with the new phone so what's the big fuss about?
Besides, as soon as you throw a case on the phone (as many of us do) it's moot anyway. And if you don't want to use a case just do what this guy did. Simple fix.
I wasnt looking for a war, i was just curious about the number of people who do have rattling to the number who dont.
Makes sense I suppose. I just think you can expect a large number of people saying "yes". In reality this is common with Android smartphones, in my experience.
No rattling here.

Coming from a galaxy nexus it's a bit odd...
the only creaking i had there was the battery cover
How loose is loose? Mine rattles only when I shake it and put it to my ear, but I've yet to notice it on daily use. Does that count as normal, or rattling.
EDIT- Even when I move the phone around in front of my face I can barely hear it.. Physically it rattles, though, so I'm not sure what to say. Maybe I've got real bad hearing...

Can't post a poll in another thread and can't really tell how many people are complaining about it and how many arent :/
Mine rattles every time I tap the button for the quick settings shade. But so far that's the only thing I have found to complain about on mine. So if that's all, I think I can live with it or fix it.

I opened my nexus up and applied the paper fix. However, while I was there I noticed that it wasn't so much the button rattling.. It was mostly coming from the sim tray area. No idea how to fix that.. I'm gonna try adding a layer of tape to the branded side of the sim card to see if it can mute any other noise

Mine rattles a little, but it doesn't bother me at all and I couldn't possibly care less.
Mine would rattle every time I would tap the screen. It got annoying quick, so I took it back and got it replaced. The new one is much more solid and doesn't rattle.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
IMO all has button rattle. The phone design has too much distance tolerance between from PCB button switch and the actual buttons. so based on PCB location when assembly of the phone. It can make button rattle either volume or power button. some might have less some might have more depending on the position of PCB. I've RMAed my phone for button rattle for 5 times. and all had rattle. some has less but still there.
The iPhone 4 has this problem too, and does my nexus 5 so i pretty much got used to it.
Could just be some people's OIS camera. It can make a sound if shaken.
Hi, due to several defects, many have chosen to send back the nexus 5 to receive a new one. infa89, a member of an Italian forum, had the following defects:
dancers and noisy buttons
SIM tray protruding
"cutting edge" display frame.
Comparing the old with the new phone, he noticed several differences, as you can see in the picture.
The new one has none of the above defects, it has
fixed buttons
larger microphone and speaker holes
more yellow display
green stuck pixels.
Someone else has noticed differences between his nexus and replaced one?
Mine has the small speaker holes, I bet that's why it buzzes through the whole phone.
Goddammit, now my phone feels second rate! :crying:
:laugh:
You know just yesterday I was looking at the speaker holes thinking they are probably too small to let the sound out easily.
RMA? Because of buzzy sound?
Edit...Yeah my buttons are fine too, and it's a 311
Oddly I have the tight fitting buttons, but the speaker/mic grille look to be the smaller ones.
I have a 311k btw

I feel lucky now...got mine from play and it has the larger holes. I've been very pleased with everything...I did have a panic attack earlier when I dropped my phone and suddenly the vibrator stopped working...took my case off and heard a snap...I guess the cover came off or something? But now its working fine...
Only thing I noticed as far as defects is slight light bleeding on the edge of the screen in the corner. But I'm not anal enough to care...its only noticabke when the screen is black at night...

OMG, i love this joke.
I'm not even kidding. It has been a running gag for months in my environment.
But back to the topic:
It wouldn't be surprised by updated "outer hardware" as the Nexus 4 also got updated with these "gummish-spike-thingies" on its back against slipping.
Hope someone on here can help me; I've searched everywhere can could not find a solution. The technician who worked on the phone for over 10-15 hours over 1 month looked at me in despair and said "I have no clue"; I thought he was going to start crying.
Everything but the camera worked perfectly before the technician opened the phone to start working in it a month ago. It went downhill from there.
Sequence of events
1. Had a camera problem (constantly out of focus) on my US HTC One Dev edition that started 6 months after owning the phone, which I absolutely loved. Searched and found this was a hardware issue.
2. I'm in Canada with a US phone, so no warranty. HTC wants $200 and 3-6 weeks to fix it. Local shop wants $75. After asking if they knew how to fix this specific phone and that they had the tools, I leave it with them.
3. They installed the new camera, damaged my top speaker grille and phone side, and the screen is uneven (technician: worst phone I have ever seen to repair) If you want an idea of the process have a look at the ifixit website.
4. I order top grille for replacement ($10) from ebay. I realize the screen is has not been properly installed and after 2 days I have a purple dead pixel.
5. I leave for a trip with my family over the Holidays - I start taking photos in low light, guess what? Damn purple issue starts. The new camera was an omnivision from a bad batch (pre-Nov 2013). Fortunately, as a true geek I brought another camera with me, just in case.
6. I order a new camera myself from etradesupply $30 plus $20 shippling = $50. 2 more weeks go by.
7. I receive the grille and get the phone back to the technician, he puts it back together, but the grille won't bend and stick to the phone.
8. New camera arrives and Iget the phone back to the technician to install it, which he does.
9. I come back to pick up the phone - screen is all pixelated and dies shortly thereafter.
10. Technician proposes to swap screen from a bricked One he has from another customer. I hesitate, but agree; just want a working phone already. Donnor phone is pretty much destroyed in the process.
11. Back at the shop to pick up my phone: everything finally looks great. I realize back home that the sim card cannot be detected, and that the speakers make a bad creakling noise when volume is higher than 8 or 9 or at normal levels during a phone call
12. Back at the shop - he fixes the sim card issue (pooly connected wire), speaker issue remains and we have no clue where it's coming from. That's were we are at.
Lessons learned for both of us:
The HTC One is a fantastic phone...until it breaks.
technicians should refuse to repair the HTC One, it's almost guaranteed that they will damage something
I should have sent the phone to HTC for 4 weeks paid $200, pay $100 for a loaner phone and be done with the problem...
Problem description
Problem is blatant when volume is at 8 or 9 or more, but is also there at lower volumes, and during phone calls at any volume, there is a creaking noise from the speakers mostly top one. When we press on the grilles the problem is slightly better.
When the whole phone (electronics) was outside the aluminum unibody frame the noise would stop. As soon as we inserted the top end of the phone assembly into the aluminum frame the noise started.
When beatsaudio is off problem is not as bad.
We inspected the motherboard, daughterboard, casing, speakers and everything looks fine (i.e. nothing broken or missing).
Questions
1. Speaker worked perfectly before the technician swapped the screen and reassembled the phone. It's kind of odd that both speakers started having the same issue at the same time. Is it worth trying to replace the speakers with new ones?
2. Could it be interference from something that was not properly put together?
3. Should I use the phone as a hammer, throw it as far as I can from the top of a 30-story building, in a river from a dam, put it in a bucket filled with fuel, or tie it to a propane tank and shot a bullet into it?
Thanks so much for any help!

Wow.. Just wow... Looks like your speaker grills haven't been put in properly.. Did he replace only the LCD or the LCD+front housing?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Most likely a bad speaker placement. It sounds to me that the "technician" didn't place the speakers properly and it probably is now always in contact with the aluminium grills. That will cause weird audio creaking noise as the speaker vibrations are vibrating the aluminium grills as well. That's why if you press on the speaker grills, it will stop that extra vibration from the speaker grills. Beats Audio will just make more vibrations in the speakers and worsen your problem.
I suggest you find another "technician" because the one you went to is clearly stupid.
Thanks for the replies!

Sounds like you are on to something. I got a similar answer on ifixit where I posted the issue.
Will get the guy to open my one up again and make sure the speaker is properly in place before ordering a new one. These suckers are $2, but shipping from HongKong is $23!

Hi Zero, probably should start a new thread for this, but I've noticed this in all the Ones I've seen. What happens is the Upper speaker has good amounts of bass and treble but very low midrange. On the other hand, the lower speaker has good midrange, okay bass, and lacking treble. That's exactly why it sounds uneven. Can you please make a mod to solve this?
For anyone interested in an update - the issue doesn`t come from vibration on the grilles. There is a small rubber around the speaker to prevent that and we doubled it to see if it makes any difference. It doesn`t. We realized that the noise was coming from some kind of short circuit whenever we pressed the daugther board along the top of the phone (we could hear a small buzz each time we pressed it). Next stop = electronics technician...

Hello mate ! Sorry for asking this question, as this thread was started long ago. How does it perform now ? Do you regret that your device has been repaired ? Can you please upload some photos of the device ? Does it look and feel like it was a new device after the entire messed up repair ? Sorry for asking these questions. Thanks in advance :good:
