HTC ONE user thread

The version I am using works fine. I found it on XDA. The shape of the flashlight is different compared to other versions (less Mag-Lite, more contemporary) but works the same way.

Welcome to the flashlight thread, everyone.

I've been using the same flashlight app for about two years. It's nothing fancy but it works. It's called Tiny Flashlight in the Play Store.

I'm using that one also on my One.  Works fine.  Used it on every phone before my Evo since that had the HTC app.

My Incipio DualPro CF case came in.  No impact on signal like the Shine case has, which is interesting.  I like it so far!  I still don't know if I want to send back the Seidio Surface or just keep it; I really liked that case but wanted more protection.

Cool.  Now I'm looking for ways to carry it since I don't like having it in my pocket.  I got one of those magnetic pouches but the phone is a little too snug and the silicone probably doesn't help it slide in & out quickly.  The Seidio Active holster actually fit perfectly with the Shine when I had it so it'll probably fit the same with this one.  I returned the holster thinking the pouch would work but now I'm regretting it... durh!!  I'm too picky with this stuff.

Hey Gang, I just wanted to ask what kind of battery life you are experiencing. I haven't had the phone too long and I "think" it is pretty but it is hard to tell because I can't put the device down. How many of you keep the power save on all the time and what performance changes are noticeable?

During the day, I'm not a heavy user since I've got about 5 different computers and my iPad to choose from. When I get home at the end of the day, my battery is usually between 60 and 80%. That's after 10 hours off the charger. I do not ever use Power Saver except when it forces it when the battery is below 15%. On a heavy use day, when I'm not in the office, I get home with about 40-50% batter life remaining.

That's pretty good. I've just been downloading all my usual apps and what not which drains. I'm loving the phone so far. I just wish 4.2.2 was out for us already.

4.2.2 isnt much of an upgrade..really just added toggles, what im wishing for is a radio update 

 

There is a change with the apps and how they work in the bottom tray. There is supposed also supposed to be an added long press the home button for menu and a home/swipe up for GoogleNow. I do hope for a radio update also.

How's battery life on this beast?  Debating on whether or not to upgrade...The lack of SD card and menu button kind of intimidates me.  :unsure:

 

EDIT: What's GS4 RF signal compared to the One?

The battery life on this phone is outstanding and based on my own personal experience(being that I did have the gs4 for a few days before returning it) comparing both devices, I would say they are both about the same when it comes to rf performance.  If you root, you can easily mod either the back botton or the home button to long press for menu.  The only thing I don't like is no sd card, but I have gotten used to managing my media a little more efficiently now.

Damn, you guys were right. For owning the one for almost a week now I would have to say I am definitely warning up to blinkfeed. I like that it is just the article with the option to go to the main article if you want to read the comments. On another note, has anyone heard about the speakers being blown out? Since this phone is hard to fix if not impossible, I never put the volume all the way up to be on the safe side.

I hope 4.2.2 does come out soon. It would be nice to have a menu button.

Weird, my HTC logo is my menu button. :):D

I'd have to disagree. Comparing side by side the ONE it's constantly weaker lte signal and drops lte in the back half of my store where every other lte phones keep lte. This happens with both demo ONEs and my personal ONE.

 

Other than this issue I love the phone.

    • https://www.lightreading.com/6g/5g-advanced-arrives-with-3gpp-s-release-18 Wonder how long until T-Mobile moves on this? My guess is some by the Galaxy S25 in January or February.
    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.
