HTC One [Megathread]

rolexeagle1 · 06-11-2013 02:33PM

Have got my update to 4.3 from three just there. Also grabbed a few of these features that I want from KitKat http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2013/11/how-to-get-the-best-features-of-android-kitkat-now/ and the google swype style keyboard http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2013/11/get-android-kitkats-keyboard-on-your-current-jelly-bean-phone/

Just download them from the link on your phone and install

ARHD will do me too. When I start seeing code I start getting afraid! Hope its soon! I'm probably most excited for emojis I won't lie! Swiftkey better get them! :rolleyes:

I've had poor experiences with Android Revolution tbh (on my Sensation), happier with a more stock-based setup for now.

linfield · 06-11-2013 02:39PM

has anyone heard of their phone burning out while charging??

I charged the phone last night and could smell burning and it was the phone... don't know what caused it but the charger is now broken and the phone still smells of burn n barely charges.

Would this be covered under warranty?

I was the very same as yourself. Awful first experience with ARHD and moved to viper. Recently moved back to a new sense based version and have to say its so much better! I must have been unlucky!

The only reason I'm staying on a sense based rom is the FB contact integration and ease of use of the dialer. I know haxsync works too but I just love the sense quick dial facility! Any third party dialer apps available as I'd love to just go vanilla android otherwise.

Send it right back immediately and don't attempt to charge it again. Seriously that's just asking for trouble.

I tried Contacts+ for a while, an advanced dialer / sms app. It was nice but I got rid of it in the end. You could try that.

That's the plan. Quick look online shows it isn't a once off either.

Jesus but the NFC icon is ugly. What were they thinking?

ffocused · 06-11-2013 09:49PM

My One is getting very hot when connected to car kit via bluetooth since 4.3 update. Anyone else experience this?

doney84 · 06-11-2013 09:54PM

Anybody know when Vodafone are planning to roll out 4.3?

Still says my phone is up to date yet I'm on android 4.2.2

djPSB · 07-11-2013 02:36PM

When I lock mine, it's still possible to change the phone from silent to non silent using the volume buttons.

Is it possible to stop this happening?

muckwarrior · 07-11-2013 04:37PM

Anybody else notice their battery not lasting as long or the phone becoming unresponsive? I've had to restart mine a couple of times now.

Yeah i noticed yesterday that the battery wasn't lasting as long as it usually would i had it at 100% at the start of work and it was below 30% 8 hours later and that was just with normal use.

irishgeo · 07-11-2013 05:32PM

just updated so ill see how it goes.

rovoagho · 07-11-2013 08:34PM

My battery seems a little better and the phone generally seems a bit more responsive, but both could easily be my imagination.

waynegalway · 07-11-2013 10:48PM

Early days yet, but has anyone noticed worse battery life on 4.3 update? I'm on 3, update was completed around 8:30 this evening and in just over 2 hours it has dropped 40%.

Was this after the 4.3 update?

Something up there. I updated on Wednesday and haven't noticed either in a positive or negative way!

As I said, early days. I'll keep an eye on it. It could have been just down to me playing around with it a bit more than normal.

The phone was fully charged at 2am this morning, so I took it off charge. It had wifi, data, bluetooth, location all turned off, with just the gsm radio still on. By 7am it had gone down to 95% with zero interaction from me in the meantime. In the past, I have found in most cases like this that it is still at 100% after 4 hours of inaction.

Definitely something unusual going on in the background....

Is it stock or does it have a ROM on it ? did you buy it second hand ?

Should be updated by now. Try a friends sim in it from a different network to see if that stimulates and update.

Useful.Idiot · 08-11-2013 03:50PM

No sign of any update from Vodafone and Vodafone reps seem to be clueless as to when it will be rolled out. Considering rooting to update it myself?

Ivefoundgod · 08-11-2013 03:59PM

I've an unlocked One but with Vodafone branding and the .161 software version so I'm stuck waiting even though i'm on Meteor. Its incredibly frustrating that all of the other carriers have released the update and Vodafone and their reps are clueless. They really are going downhill rapidly, between getting in trouble for not having adequate 3G coverage in the UK, ridiculous prices and now this rubbish. The fact that nobody knows whats happening is even more annoying.

Very tempted to root and try out the GE Rom to see how it is.

waynegalway · 08-11-2013 05:31PM

Couple of things annoying about the sense 5.5 update......

I like that when you hide apps from the drawer, they still show up on home screens (I think I'm right in saying that previously the apps had to be shown in the drawer if you wanted a shortcut). So all my "Duplicates" folders have been gotten rid of.

But..... In car mode, you can't add apps like before. As far as I can see, you can only add an app to the car mode short cuts if it's shown in the app drawer.

Can someone else double check this please? If I'm interpreting this right, they've made a big improvement on the one hand and cancelled it out on the other.

I like the scrolling lock screen and the way you can re order the short cuts in the pull down settings menu.

rovoagho · 08-11-2013 05:57PM

Can't add a hidden app to car mode, but I can hide it after I've added it to car mode. Not sure it'll persist through a reboot though.

Tried that, but when I hide it after adding it, it disappears fron car mode.

Dont know what network you're with but this person sent it into three and was over 2 weeks getting it back

Try and organise it through your provider. That's my advice, based on expirence.

Eh, yeah. I would hope so. Is your socket working?

DUBLIN_person · 08-11-2013 09:41PM

Just updated mine, Factory unlocked but using on the Vodafone network, small tweaks but nothing major, we'll wait and see

ofcork · 08-11-2013 11:23PM
