hi it does,
It is located in the bottom left corner of the top grill.
When i saw it on the silver version it was solid yellow (for fully charged) not the biggest though.

Only thing that makes me sad about HTC Phones, the dam LED light. Same thing with my My touch, Amaze, and One X. I'll still be getting it!!

yes it has

Will it be controllable by Lightflow?
If I remember correctly.. it didn't work on the OneX..

HTC hasn't made a phone with a multicolor led since the nexus one

And it is too small and partially hidden to be of much use. As per ONE S. I have to pick the phone up and stare in to the earpiece grille to see if it is blinking.
Joke. As in bad joke.

HTC have steadily gone backwards with notification LEDs. They have become less and less visible, and therefore less and less useful.
I look back to some of my previous HTCs, such as the touch pro and hero. They may not have had rgb notifications, but they were highly visible and showed a bit of creativity from htc.

Yea, the LED should never be hidden behind the grille. Just isn't the right place.
Hows the One's LED visibility compared to the OneX's?

Also very curious about this. I read in a few places the One didn't have a notification LED and I was shocked. I'm very glad to hear it has one, even if it's not very visible. At least it's there.

Since the device was announce is been said that it does have a notification led.
Plenty of videos out and you guys have not seen the light? Because I've seen it in a couple videos.
Edit: it's clearly visible in this one. Colors that it displays I do not know. But most likely green and red.

only colours I have seen when I used the one are green and red

I thought I saw some video where it blinks color white. Perhaps it's just a video issue but I don't know.

Review on The Verge says it has the LED and can be customized:
http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/11/4086390/htc-one-review
Per it
"There’s a notification LED embedded in the top speaker grille, which shows when you have a message, a missed call, and the like — you can customize it, too, to only see what you want to see."
But does not say anything on the color though.

My screen is all BLUE!

Well sort of. My phone has a really really blue tint to it. I'm not sure what it is but no reds nor yellow colors can't be seen. The yellow looks really green. As for the red it looks really dark red somewhat blackish. Tried replacing the amoled 3 times. Still same.

I know I ordered my 4th amoled display hopefully it works!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You ordered a 4th screen? It's obviously not the screen. But the controller or something else wrong with the hardware or just the connection to the screen itself.
The chances of the first replacement having the exact same problem is pretty low, but 3 screens all acting the exact same means the screen is working perfectly. Replacing it again will not fix it.
My original amoled display ribbon ripped so I ordered another from China. That's when it was blue. maybe its not original although it states it is

I ordered from different people. Of course I gotta refund when it didn't work. $50+ for display. No effing way!!

But anyway OP I don't think led lcds suffer much from burning in
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
OP is confusing LCD, LED and Plasma. Only Plasma suffers burn-in, and the 'LED' of your screen is simply the backlight that is used which is, sometimes, more uniform and energy efficient than the traditional CCF technology.
That is all.
I'm not confusing anything. I know that Plasmas and LEDs suffer screen burn and I could've sworn it didn't say LED backlit...I'll check again but I think it's an LED screen...

LED=Light Emitting Diode
Working at a computer repair shop and actually took out the LEDs out of a screen. They are just a series of LED lights for the backlight. The screen is still and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Are you sure this specific computer isn't an LED screen? They do make LED screens....
He is sure, its an led lcd,

I'm sure. It is impossible to create a screen just from light.How an LCD works is that it creates an image between two dark plates of glass, that heat the individual crystals making the image appear. But normally you can't see it, hence why you have the backlight. The newest way of lighting these LCD panels are LED lights. They are cheaper to produce, last longer, and have a better brightness. But that's about it.
If you want to do an experiment, open up the frame of your laptop screen, disconnect the inverter(which controls the backlight) turn on the computer and angle it at your room light, and you will see faint outlines of the system. But that only works with older laptops since the newer ones have the inverter built into the LCD and only use one cable that goes into the monitor, instead of 2, from the motherboard.
It's not impossible for only led, a car place in Paris had about a meter by a meter of red green and blue leds playing a video, looked awfule but was cool I guess

LED tv's = LED LCD
OLED and other variants afaik have no led back light and they can light up individually, which is why blacks are blacker as the pixel has virtually no power going to it
But Samsungs AMOLED and SAMOLED displays use Pentile arangment making thm not as clear as they share sub pixels, SAMOLED+ however uses RGB meaning its clearer The Nexus Galaxy uses Pentile to that amazing DPI comes up to actually be as clear / defined as the SGS2 , but more pixels too push so more battery eating and more gpu power neeed

You're talking about disparate technologies that have nothing to do with each other. LED displays do exist, but are usually only used as a cost effective way of creating massive outdoor displays. LED TV's are again, just LCD with an LED backlight.
Your laptop has an LCD screen. Be thankful!

Notification light Color

Since HTC named their phone the one like the geniuses they are it's hard to get details on if it's the same light from one X, green and amber.
Anyone know? I might not get it if it's not multicolored like every other major android phone. Like to customize that and the other lights are better.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
I've read it's not multicolor like Samsung phones, apparently it's just like 3 colors... amber, green and yellow? I'm not sure. But it's not multicolor like you're thinking.
My One X only did green and red, not amber? Interesting..
Sent from my XT925 using xda premium
Yeah, shame it's not multi colour. With Samsung you can't customise the colours by default anyway, and the apps you can use to modify the notifications are buggy at best.

apparently yellow can be done by turning both green and red at the same time, i think it is capable of doing it, but not exactly sure if you're able to use it.

Lol what?? Not At their level just because it doesn't have the colors of the rainbow as LED colors. Haha get out of here. What's the point of so many colors? You need one color to let you know battery is low(red) and one for notifications and to let you know battery is charged(green).
Most ridiculous complaint ever.

there is a file somewhere which you just have to push different numbers to using the echo command.
Think there are loads of apps that do this.
I've only seen the light as amber for charging and green for fully charged.
The RGB notification LED of say the Galaxy S3 was good, what always bugged me was the lack of native support by Android. Apps that allowed you to customise them always caused excessive wakelocks and I never liked their subsequent effect on battery life. I'll care about LED's if Android can support them natively (hoping that would have a little to no effect on battery life) otherwise they add little value in my eyes. :shrug:

Purpleish Hue Capacitive Buttons?

I have just got yet another exchanged HTC One. This time around it came with purple whiteish capacitive Buttons.
I know this isn't normal because I've got another One right beside me with white buttons.
Anyhow, does anyone else have this problem too? Did you decide to sacrifice it (live with it) or send it back in?
Thanks

You changed device because of the hue of the buttons?

Mine also has a slight purple tinge to it, but I quite like it as the buttons are not too bright then
At least you guys have a purple or pink hue to the capacitive lights - mine's don't light up at all! Need to figure out if I've got a fault or not. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I assume this was to me.
It wasn't the only reason but it was the main reason. Also had a couple of slight build quality issues. Had no problems exchanging it as I was within the 28 days and the phone was faulty because of these issues. If the buttons had been a full on colour rather than just a very slight tint, I'd not have been bothered, but as it was it just made it look a dirty white rather than a clean white.
Mine is also purple so by the looks of it, it's very normal.

Android 4.3

I know I am to be taken with a grain of salt, I am a corporate store technician and talked to our HTC rep today. She is saying that Sprint decided to skip 4.2.2 and go right to 4.3 with its upgrade to the HTC One. I also got to look at the red version today as well and I am going to see about trading my black one for the red. She did not give any timeframe of when the 4.3 update will come out.

They only had a mockup for me to look at so unfortunately not, but the red is like an ironman red it looks really good. I will have the actual units tomorrow in inventory we will be putting one under glass to show the color so I will play more with it then and see what the finished product looks like.

I think that's just overexposure. It may also be a combination of white balance and overexposure. It is common with any type of digital camera to have uncommon colors. One major reason is because of the digital white balance correction.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
I don't know what you guys are say'n..That Phone is clearly pink....
The first picture is inaccurate. The second one is right.
If the problem is overexposure, then that means the tap to focus doesn't work very well. I always tap on my subject, yet I have several pictures where the reds look orange. I shouldn't have to mess around other than having to tap on my subject to get the right exposure etc.
EDIT: Whatever, it's OK.
The red One still looks sick, especially with the black accents.
I was just messing around man..The phone looks hot..But unless Sprint and HTC do something about the radio it's just another one..Thanks for the pics though.
That is because of the way the digital light meter reads the scene. Again, this is an issue that plagues even professional cameras both film and digital. This issue often crops up in difficult lighting situations with a lot of contrast. Hope this helps explain a little. Also the red one looks sweet!

If Sprint releases the Red HTC One with 4.2.2, we would already have it on ours. There's nothing different in those internals than what's on ours. They can't control the update to the device based on color. It will release with 4.1.2.
