Hi guys,
what do you think about compatibility between batteries of the M8 and M7?? I saw iFixit teardown of the new HTC flagship and they seem to have the same dimensions.
Do you think it will be possible to do as it was with One X and X+ battery?
The m7 is almost impossible to properly disassemble and reassemble without the special tools from HTC.

Yes i know it, but i have an HTC One with the broken display and housing cover and i'll replace all them and the battery in the coming months (I have skills in this), so I thought it would be great if it is possible change the battery with the m8 one.
Anyway, thanks for the answer.
The m8 is not the same physical size as the m7. Seems like a silly assumption to think the m8 would use the same size battery as the m7?

Sure it is, but mine it wasn't an assumption but just a question...a question based on the view of the batteries from the site of iFixit, they seem similar despite the larger size of the M8.
Anyway don't worry, I'll find out from me.

hi, will there be a Dot View Case for HTC One M7 when Sense 6.0 comes out for it?

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
I see on eBay u now can buy stock HTC one(m7) battery replacements. Have any of u done this yet. I would like to. I think my battery has lost about %15 of its life sence I bought my phone. I really don't want to buy a new one cause this phone is still fast even underclocked. I want anyone's thoughts on this.

Hello there,
I just got my HTC One XL from ebay and I have some questions.
1. Does HTC One XL have this problem too? HERE
2. How should I do the first charge? Should I use my new cellphone first and wait to the battery discharge in order to make a full charge of 7 hours?
Thank you!

you are in the wrong forum, here is the htc one M7 forum. your forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
but I already owned a one X so I can answer your 2 questions
1. Newer batch of htc one x doesn't suffer from the wifi issue. Anyway I think that the XL variant never suffered from that issue. If this happen to you, you can repair it by yourself easily (I did on mine), you have to remove the back casing of the phone, locate the wifi contacts on the PCB and very delicately pry boths contacts upward so they touch the antenna firmly when you put back the cover.
2. Its recommended you do a full charge (100%) once before you use the phone, however I never did it neither to my One X or my One M7 and never experienced battery issues.
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?

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.
