Plenty of Sprint Touch handsets available on e-Bay for $70-80, and in many cases you can get one for closer to $50-60.
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.

Headache
Sent from my Nokia 3315.
Replacement can only be done by HTC ... because the phone can't be opened by yourself ...

It can be opened its just a pain

Hi
I know this is an old issue.
I have owned an HTC One (M7) since 2013 and live in Denmark.
After using the phone during the first weeks of the summer of 2013, I discovered the purple haze in the viewfinder when takin a photo.
But sadly HTC never offered the free fix here in Denmark like in the US, so I have been stuck with the problem ever since.
I have finally found a firm here in Denmark who can replace the whole camera-unit in my HTC One (M7).
But before I spend 50 USD on fixing the phone. Will replacing the camera-unit fix the problem? Or is the problem deeper ?

To the best of my knowledge it depends how bad it is. I've known cases where replacing the camera module did solve it and others where it did not.
If you do decide to take it in maybe ask the shop for some reassurance of success rate so you can make a more informed decision. :good:
So I have my 2 year contract up for renewal and wanted to get an upgrade (not really need it but you know when you get that itch) and I cannot find any phone that is the same size as an HTC ONE.
I refuse to get a bigger phone then what my hands or pants can hold. So no S5, S6, M8, M9, G3. I saw the aquos but its kinds sucky on specs...so any other sprint phone that is the size of the M7 that is a worthy upgrade or am I basically out of luck?
I might even entertain a switch to different carrier, let me know, you smart peeps!
