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!)
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 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
Hello, i`m in a big dillema. My HTC One M7 is self restarting and i`m searching for a new phone. But it is very difficult to find something similar. I`m very very happy with M7. Can someone advise me for some similar phone? I wonder is it a good to buy a refurbished M7 for 90 dollars?
Thank you for your oppinions!

If you're happy with M7, you're gonna be extatic with the 10. IMO, it's a waste of money to buy a 3 years old phone no matter how cheap it is

You can get used M7's for ~40-50€ and still get a used M10 in 1-2 years for maybe a quarter of what you have to pay now! Haven't met anyone sofar who really needs the specs of a 2016 highend phone!
The M8 is pure genius, I love that phone. You can root it and put a ported M10 Rom on it. Yep I would suggest the M8.
