[Q] Possible Blown Speaker...

I think the speaker on my One has blown. The sound is very distorted even when on low volumes. Could this be a software issue or is it most likely to be hardware?
I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest version of TrickDroid so I'm not sure where I stand with the warranty.
Thanks is advance.

On HTC warranty - most probably it is void now. You can call them and check if they are willing to fix a rooted phone.
In EU (and I assume you are in UK) you have Statutory Warranty - 2 years.This is regulated by consumer regulations and this comes from EU. This one is NOT void through rooting - http://piana.eu/root. This said - I am currently having serious problems with fixing my S3 this way in Norway (legislation is identical) and I have to go through consumer counsel/tribunal which takes up to 6 months in total...

If you're in a country where covered by appropriate legislation, a Sale of Goods Act law will almost certainly a problem like this so soon after purchase, especially considering you're not at fault.
Check out if your country has such legislation which covers you, and if so ask for a replacement under that legislation. If not, eh... ask politely?

Forgive my ignorance as I have only had Samsung phones the past few years but, shouldn't you just be able to flash back to stock and unroot? I wouldn't think it would be too difficult. However, as I said, I have only had experience with Samsung phones for a while.

The bootloader is nlocked through HTCDev so they have the IMEI. Also when you relock it says 'relocked' instead of 'locked' (exactly like when you mess with pc odin and you flash back to a samsung rom it says 'official' but the flash counter isn't reset). To be able to get back a 'locked' status (so the equivalent of triangle away on samsung devices) you need s-off.

Unlocking doesn't void the warranty more than likely. At least here in the U.S they don't care
It depends on the carrier

Dump your hboot and upload it here. Then tell me what should be written there instead of relocked I can rename it for you

Magic isn't allowed on XDA.

I'm gonna report on this tomorrow... I got a couple of pops in my speaker when playing YouTube videos on the lowest volume at first. For some reason when I played music at full volume there were no problems but as soon as I put the volume lower and played a YouTube video every know and then i would get a pop sound.

I just took then phone back to a Phones4U shop and they replaced it there and then. It would seem if the phone develops a fault within 28 days of purchase you can take it back to the retailer instead of HTC. Most retailers wouldn't have a clue if you have unlocked the bootloader and flashed custom Roms so it didnt matter.
As I couldnt find the correct RUU I just took it into the shop with TrickDroid's Rom still installed and they didn't question it at all!! :laugh:

I have the same issue on my phone. Tried the included Thor movie, speakers crackle at any volume. So many issues with the phone! Still love it, will arrange for a return and exchange hopefully with a second batch phone.

Hi there, do you have the youtube link for the crack sound? I want to try with my New One estimate to arrive tomorrow.

After further investigation, the sound problem only shows up when certain videos are played (hi-def MKVs I think). Sound is fine otherwise, so I think it is a software issue. Can anyone else try THOR on HTC Watch, at the beginning of the film, when it should be silent, do you hear the speakers crackle even at low volumes?

On my replacement handset the bottom speaker has totally gone. No sound coming through it at all. Back to Phones4U :crying:

planning to buy this phone but i am afraid that i will catch one with a bad camera (camera creating purple/pink tint for the indoor pictures)
i read some forums and i don't know if its a software problem or hardware...the main problem is that i will buy new in the box sealed but with no warranty..... somebody can help with an advice
the statistic is making me worried :http://forum.xda-developers.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=14531

Pretty much every HTC One has or will get this problem. Its your decision and on daylight its a very very good camera.

Many phones got this problem even after sending it back to htc for fixing. Nobody really knows if its software or hardware sided.

I would recommend Nexus 5 instead. If you think that camera will be an issue than please don't take the risk. It's your hard earned $600 that you are spending. Go for the maximum utility, satisfaction. If low light camera capability is important for you, this phone is not worthy of a phone.
Written from a user who has this issue, and had no success in getting it fixed via HTC.

Bottom line this is the best phone ever made. Most cameras are fine just check everything out when you get the phone. 4.3 update is rolling out. Get a good case like Otterbox Commuter and a screen protector. Use Nova launcher. Here is my homescreen

after reading more threads i came to the conclusion that it's hardware problem
they are two microchips near to the camera and by heating up they ar disturbing the senzor...

to check you camera make a small (3-4 mins) full hd video and after try to take a picture on low light conditions

I bought my phone in May and by July it started developing the purple tint. While it's not guaranteed that you will get the purple tint, there have been lots of people who do.
Don't get me wrong. I still love my One especially for the Boomsound and LCD display. But I can live with the camera issues cos I use several phones concurrently so I just use another phone if I have to use the camera.
Ultimately it's your call. But my advice is pay extra for the warranty. Especially for this model. Cos if you start getting problems, without warranty you will have no recourse.

100% sure it's software, most phone I have had have had purple/pink or greenish tones in some circumstances which could be corrected with whitebalance settings. My one had purple pictures too after 422 upgrade but now is fine again after 4.3 but maybe not sensor are 100% the same and it might take a little more tweaking by htc to get it right. The One is the best arounfd 5 inch phone out there by a long shot, sense rocks, boomsound, I couldn't live without it anymore, zoes are awesome, the live gallery, blinkfeed. All in all the One is so much better than the SGS4, only if you wany a phablet I would consider another phone.....

Contact HTC representatives

Hi everybody! My One has been in the service center for a week after getting hard bricked for no reason, and repair hasn't been started yet, and they're giving me an ETA of a week or two more So, if any of you is in any way related to HTC, could you pm me a number or an email ID, which isn't ignored, to talk or send a message to convince htc to get my phone repaired quick or give me a replacement? Talking/chat with any of the higher authorities, who actually care about customers would do.
Thanks
Hopefully I'll get them convinced

I bought my phone with a carrier that I'm no longer with so they aren't doing anything. I was forced to use HTC.
I guess it wasn't that bad since I had a backup.

And the ETA was given by the call center people , who don't know ***t about anything. The service center guys are saying that it may take two weeks or more because of shortage of parts. Why don't they replace the damn phone if they're gonna replace the most expensive parts anyways? Btw, my phone has a faulty mobo, camera, and speakers.

How do you have that many things wrong with the phone? They almost never replace the phone because (according to them) it changes the IMEI number of the phone. It does do that, but how the heck does it even matter? HTC support is useless IMO.

I don't bloody know. I took proper care of the phone, it was never out of a case and it never fell. And believe it or not, this is the third time I'm having a problem with this phone And if the mobo is changed, the IMEI is changed anyways, so what difference does it make?

A temporary fix for this is changing your ISO to different settings, but that doesn't always work (didn't work for me, for instance).
The best solution is getting HTC or Sprint to fix your camera/replace your phone as it's a hardware issue apparently, although it seems like it would be a software issue.

HTC has made one lackluster device after another since the original EVO. The HTC One M7 wasn't exactly an amazing device (had a lot of short comings... specifically the camera) and the M8 is just a rehash of the M7... atleast with the S 5 you can install QI with a simple chip under the back cover.

yeah, you'll have to call HTC and make a claim. you'll have to pay for shipping and handling, but in a week or so, you will be sent a new device with the new camera hardware installed. I did this less than a month ago, and yes, you must still be under warranty.

Question about a Nexus 6 prototype or developer edition I found

So I found this phone on Craigslist and couldn't resist buying it ( I know, bad idea). But basically, this phone has "Motorola Confidential Property. Not for Sale" printed on the bottom of the screen along with a Motorola logo and some numbers at the top of the screen. It also doesn't have the Nexus logo printed on the back.
I took it home, and it did not work with any sim I had. So i started digging around in the phones settings and bootloader to see if anything was different. I only found two things that were different apart from physical appearance:
1. Product Variant in bootloader says "shamu XT 1103 32 GB P2A" while all other Nexus 6's I have seen have "shamu XT 1103 32 GB P3A0"
2. The baseband in settings ends with a lowercase "p" instead of "R" (no matter what baseband I flash in fastboot).
One last tidbit that I thought was interesting is that this phones IMEI shows up as clean and ready to activate on any network but I believe it is because the IMEI does not exist in any database. I called Motorola and gave them the IMEI, and they said they found no phone on their database with that IMEI.
Does anyone know if their is a way to convert this to a functioning Nexus 6? I assume it is these differences and the unknown IMEI preventing me from activating the phone on my network. While I would like to get the phone working with my network, I mostly posted this on here to see what people had to say about the phone and maybe someone knows how to get it working on here. I can post pictures of the phone if people want.

I don't have an answer, but it would be pretty cool to get a "Nexus 6" prototype working. Can you take a picture of the phone? I'd be interested in seeing the front and back, or the differences. Thanks

Hmm, I didn't consider that. I don't think it is, unless the "Nexus 6" name mentioned in the settings/bootloader were somehow changed to that prior to me buying the phone. It does look a lot like it though, although the "M" logo in the back is different on mine then the one in that picture. The hardware listed in the bootloader also matches up with the hardware in standard Nexus 6's, unless both phones had the same hardware.
One other thing that helps prove that it is some type of Nexus 6 is the IMEI, which shows up as Nexus 6 on a lot of databases (although not in Motorola's haha...).
EDIT: if it is somehow the Moto x pro, maybe that would explain why the phone does not work in the states, and probably why the baseband is different.

Its possible, although the phone does recognize the sim card. it just shows no service (similar to how a phone with a bad IMEI acts). How could I verify if the sim reader was broken?

usually, by sticking in a known working sim into it, and sticking your sim into another phone. but in this situation, i have no idea.

Looks like the M logo could be some kind of fingerprint reader.

Regarding the different Motorola logo on the back, I guess, that it could be a fingerprint sensor:

It was planned, but removed. They even had it in their git: shamu: remove fingerprint support.

I think you and spartan are right. It feels like it would be a fingerprint sensor, although the M logo threw me off.
It looks exactly like the pictures spartan posted of the fingerprint sensor prototype . perhaps that is why my product variant is P2A and not P3A0.
Would be cool to get the sensor working.

2 things.
1. What wireless provider sims have you tried?
2. I could help get it working from a kernel side, but if you can't get your hands on the HW lib, it might be impossible

Buckmarble! thanks for replying. I have used your kernels in the past and they have always worked great for me
As for wireless providers I have tried, I inserted a Verizon and T mobile sim card (both working on other phones) and had no service although the phone did recognize a sim was inserted.
What do you mean by getting my hands on the HW lib?
Again, thanks for posting.

@Spartaner25 linked to a commit that removed the fingerprint scanner support. In that commit it copied and set permissions on a hardware lib for the scanner.

Well, I think I'm going to go ahead and sell the phone on eBay to someone that uses these phones overseas. I'm not confident in my ability to get the phone working with my network so I am trying to get my money back.
I explained to him what kind of phone this was and he told me that if it didn't work with his country's network he would return it to me. If he does end up returning it to me, would you be okay with me sending you a message asking for help with this buck?

Hi,
Very interesting phone, thanks for having taken the risk.
Before selling it, can you post the manufacture date (Bootloader -> Barcodes) ?

You said that it shows as an XT1103. That's the US Nexus 6. The XT1100 is the international Nexus 6. The Moto X Pro is XT1115.
What you have there is a prototype US Nexus 6.
Try an app like LTE Discovery to see if the radio is even working and detecting towers.

If the phone is, indeed, a prototype. Shouldn't it be running Lollipop instead of M with Nov. security patch? Strange.

It was running a developer version of Android 5.0.1 when I bought it but I flashed latest software from google.
