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.

    • This site is built but not live. eNB 41150 is still live. eNB 41188 is decommissioned but as far as I can tell the site at 200 West 55th is not built yet. This site is live gNB 1346302. This site is live gNB 1092074 This site is live gNB 1371671 This site is live gNB 1371860 — — — — — Sprint eNB 6156 -> T-Mobile gNB 1349260 Sprint eNB Unknown -> T-Mobile gNB 1325016 — — — — — Bonus T-Mobile 5G small cell, gNB 1348688 in Queens:  
    • FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.
    • Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.
    • MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.
    • I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
