No matter the lighting conditions, or the settings I use, I always seem to get a lot of noise. It seems a lot worse in the top left hand corner and far left of the photos (when taken in landscape). Even when the camera lens is completely covered by something there's a red hue coming from those areas, with noise observed all over the screen, and then a blue hue to the far right side. When I switch to video this completely disappears. Anyone else having this problem or is this a faulty unit or working as expected?

I switched from a purple tint HTC one to this new HTC butterfly s. Here are hardware problems I've encountered.
- purple tint is present 15% of the time in low light conditions especially when the phone is hot .
- when in dark areas, you can see the capacitive touch buttons illuminating the bottom of the screen before the screen turns on.
Anybody else experienced these things? I love the look and speed of HTC products compared to Samsung. But I think theyre not consistent with hardware production

sadly these problems are quite common
1.Yes I get purple tint on my camera but it's just zebra stripes in EXTREMELY low light after prolonged use of the phone. The camera naturally prefers a slight purple tint auto white-balance in some light, this is not that unusual because my camcorder do this as well. Under lowlight with HDR video, unfortunately, the purple tint is totally obvious through the whole image, not just stripes.
2. That's also quite normal.
Additional problems I've had:
1. audio clipping at high volumes with heavy bass (it seems users of the M8 are also reporting this)
2. Touch screen responsiveness with keyboard. (sometimes it lags or "sticks" a bit if you type too fast)

Touch screen don't lag or stick for me it's jus too fast

It's because I have sweaty hands and a screen protector.
I also noticed some stuck pixels on my unit, but it's too late to replace it now.
Don't use screen protector it causes problems when typing

I had serious purple tint, HTC replace the cam and now it had zero purple tint. Quite sure it is a hardware fault at least in my case

Is this a normal hardware problem or physical damage?
Fresh out of the box, headphone jack seemed to make a crackling when a headphone plug is spun around but that went away pretty quickly. Now, after months of use, the headphone jack seems to be going too deep for some headphones, causing this buzz sound and left channel to be cut off, unless the plug is in the right place, but it buzzes/cuts off when the headphone plug is touched slightly. It's especially bad with headphones that have an inline mic/remote. It also seems to have become rather loose now...
Has anyone else experienced this?

This sounds perfectly normal to me. I noticed this with most new audio jacks, be it new earphones or new phone or laptop or whatever. It's perfectly reasonable, though – when a new jack comes fresh out of factory, its surface is not perfectly smooth and by twisting it around, the resistance in the contact changes a bit, resulting in crackling. After a while, the surface gets smoothed out a bit by friction and the effect disappears.

This, on the other hand, really appears to be a mechanical failure.
yeah =/ I'm not sure if it would be under warranty either because it might have resulted me from accidentally pulling out the headphones a few times (happens when I'm commuting and need to make a run). It also depends heavily on the kind of headphones I use. Just bought a new pair of (cheap) earphones today and the plug went too deep causing the left channel to be cut off. A more "sturdy" plug does not do this although it may still buzz if pressed hard into the headphone jack.
I can also see something greyish and red at the bottom - only visible when a light is shined through. It might be dust and paint.
I've seen some reports that this is reported on HTC One M7 and some other phones, with one mod being to put a layer of tape on top of the headphone jack so the plug doesn't go in as deep or attaching rings to the bottom of the headphone plug.
Is it just me or its normal with the Note 5. When recording a video or using the voice recorder, the Note 5 will literally record my hand movement. Even if I brush slightly with my hand, or slight touch the phone while recording, that movement gets pickup by the microphone. Never happened with my old phone. Feels like the Note 5 microphones are way too sensitive. Even if I slightly lift my finger, the microphone picks it up. I have to have a tight grip on the phone so it does not pick it up. Normal guys?
Hi, I'm running on Epic Global ROM 8.2.1.0, and I have an issue that just started a few days ago. Anytime my hand passes in front of or over the top edge of the screen, the screen goes black, like the proximity sensor is kicking in. It's very annoying when playing games or watching videos. Is there a way to lock it down so that the proximity sensor only works while on a phone call?
I know I experienced a similar difficulty when using Telegram. I began playing a voice recording, but didn't finish it, so whenever my hand was around the top portion of the screen, it turned off and moved to the earpiece etc. Check whether you have anything that is proximity-activated in the background.
It's been two days since I started using this phone.
Today, I can hear an excessive sound coming either from the camera lens or the front speaker. {Noise heard better from front side of the phone}
This happens when you try to shake or flip the phone even gently. I know usually the camera lens on every phone makes a little noise.
But this is extreme. It's almost like there's a tiny piece of hardware broken inside and it's moving even if you shake the phone gently. I either did not observe this issue or it wasn't there for the first two days.
Can anyone confirm if it's the same?

Yes, even in mine there is a kind of muffled noise
Hi guys.
It's from the cameras. If you try this with the camera app open you will see that the noise stops.
Optical Image Stabilisation most likely. Camera lens can move to handle shake.
I don't hear anything noticeable from mine. Just a VERY slight muffled noise if I shake it while holding the lenses right up to my ear, but nothing I would notice if I wasn't specifically trying to find a noise.
