Does the htc one really have good build quality? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is gpod build quality? Lots of people mix this up with good design and choice of materials...lots of persons are already complaining about gaps in the htc one aswell as light bleeding etc. What about the android authority drop tesr where the entire speaker grill came off? Looks like its barely glued to the front. Is this Good build quality?

I just received my developers edition in the mail today, nothing physically wrong. very well put together. build date was April 16.
Played around and set everything up and about 3 hrs late the back felt slightly warm, but no where to the point of the complaints in this forum.

Best phone? Worst phone? Who cares?

Just from reading through a load of the threads in this forum, I've noticed a lot of indecision.
Let me explain...
Apparently, this phone has not got enough in stock to make sure everyone gets one, there's a buzz from the earphones, it heats up too much, it has poor battery life, poor touch sensitivity, easily scratchable, screen smashes too much, it drops down the toilet too easily, it makes a rattling noise, yellow tint, screen glitching, the screen looks washed out, massive interference whilst using a car charger, a looping FC of Bluetooth Share, not enough vibration, it randomly reboots, black dots under the screen, no connection on WLAN, not enough storage, dead pixels, grainy photos, LED flash doesn't work, wonky haptic feedback, antenna gate issue, slight lift on screen, brightness gets broke, unresponsive power button, slow auto focus, creaking on bottom right of the device, most free media from the play store only available in the US, purple glaze effect on the camera, wireless charging problems, the onscreen soft key, poor WiFi signal, gap between bezel and the side of the phone, it won't drive your car for you and it won't grow legs and kick your enemies.
I'm surprised I haven't seen a complaint saying that the box it comes in is 1mm too thick.
And yet the majority of people think it's the best phone ever.
Just make up your freaking mind!!!!!

I must disagree.
The box is way too thin. It creases way too easy and under a lunar eclipse you can really notice it.
Love the phone. My only complaint is that the vibrate thingy is useless!

Well if the box was 1inch thinner it would fit better in my drawer so damn them for not checking that before releasing the phone.

Mine has 'niggles' but I don't care, I'm picky but I'm not THAT picky!
The vibration works well, my alarm went off in my pocket when I was driving, gave me a boner so it's clearly strong enough! lol
People seem to be vocal with problems. I've always received an item, decided if it lives up to my expectations and returned it if it doesn't, without moaning on the forums. If it's a software issue, like most of my niggles I'm going to just deal with them until the fix comes, since this is a Nexus device after all, we're in good shape for updates!
Products have issues, welcome to the realm of early adoption.

Yep I agree. As much as everyone wants the perfect device you can't have cutting edge tech the day it comes out AND have a perfect device.
Under testing there is simply not enough retail devices made at this point to mass test under mass production conditions for long enough to find faults.
Even apple and Samsung and Sony etc etc all release devices be it phones TVs laptops hard drives or a desk fan all will be released before kinks are worked out
This is not deliberate, its just that issues which come up have not been found yet.
Check any identical devices made even 4months apart and you will no doubt find that there are different revisions of board used in them or chip.
Plastic production can be different and parts can be sourced else where .
So unless a recall is required for a dangerous fault, issues will be resolved in future devices.
This is not lg this is anything with a plug that this relates to.
I do agree however many cosmetic flaws should never pass quality control as they are easy enough to see and most of these QC checks are done with cameras now not humans so any discrepancy should be picked up easily to be referred to a human to double check.

Yeah, F this forum! Let's move to 4chan/nexus4!
Mine has a slightly buzzing earpiece and the screen seems a little darker on one side although this is probably just my eyes lol.
I have none of the other issues, and have to say that it is a MUCH better phone than the SGS 3 I had for six months.
I was constantly changing ROMS on the SGS3 and was never 100% happy.
This phone is built better, is louder, has a stronger vibrate, better screen, louder and clearer speaker, clearer in calls, much faster and is truly smooth and lag and skip free. The touchscreen is perfect.
Cannot make even one complaint about this phone that would put me off it.
I am enjoying my phone a ton!
My phone rattles but since I don't have Parkinsons I don't hear it.
I have the buzz but the only time I would be able to hear it is when I am on the phone and either me or the other person is talking to I can't hear it!
I don't take my phone to the bathroom so I haven't dropped it in the toilet yet.
Overall a great phone and totally worth the purchase price!
I can't believe we have a complaint thread about complaints and yet the word "glass" is not mentioned once. You people suck.

No phone is perfect, I think we can all agree on this. People are just discussing the issues, it's a discussion forum. I don't see the big deal. *shrug*

Hardware defect??

So lookin at so many pictures of this beautiful sleek designed phone, I've notice (in pictures), mainly in silver one that at the bottom (charging port) or maybe all around the white injected plastic in the metal isn't perfectly imbedded into the phone if u look very closely there's this a micro protrusion of the white material... Notice it's not evenly brushed with the metal body.
So in picture below carefully Notice the bottom of the phone and you'll see that it's not perfectly EVEN.
what do you guys think?
I know it's minor but thought to put it out there..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I think I don't care, other things to worry about in life than plastic being slightly off...
Just drop your phone the first day you get it so you stop worrying about it being perfect.
maybe this belongs in Q&A
that is most probably a review pre-production device and the angle of light makes it look worse b/c the device I played with yesterday i did not notice any problems
Like I said I know it's a small thing... But I noticed it and maybe the lucky once who have this beauty already could tell us if they notice this too..

Build Quality.

As always HTC build quality is shifty. This from my personal experience with many HTC models dating all the way back to the Mogul. Scraped the skin off my finger and now it's embedded in this phone. My DNA will be stuck inside this phone for it's whole life. Make sure to give your phones a thorough once over. You can see the gap on the left side. Anything could just roll in there. No, Samsung did not hire me.

The aluminum does stick out farther than the plastic on both sides. Makes a great scraper tool. Lol. I don't mind that as much, just the gap area.

I wouldn't say "Shifty" build quality.. but I would say inconsistent. My 1st EVO 4G was built like a brick house with no "real" issues (the B-spot.)
But my girlfriends needed replaced due to the bottom left corner of the screen pulling away from the body. Which was replaced 4 TIMES because each replacement had the exact same issue.
Then, Evo 3D, I had to replace that because the touchscreen was going out, which I've heard is a major issue with the 3D line.
I'm hoping the One has better part quality.

I still have the HTC Hero and its been used and abused. Its still in great shape and i never had a cover on it. But I am extremely pissed off at the HTC Evo 3D build that I am currently using (and will finally be done with in a few more hours when i pick up my HTC One).
The glue or adhesive that HTC used to put the phone together is horrible. I had metal front cover falling off the phone and the red frame on the camera portion is halfway falling off. For some odd reason when the metal portion started to peel off the front cover the phone would act crazy and it would always have the phantom button presses making the phone unusable. To fix the problem I had to super glue what I could down but now other sections are falling off that have been attached from HTC's adhesive.
I can't say that I am not worried but I really REALLY hope that any of these pieces are not sealed with any adhesive.

Htc One build quality

Hello,
Been following this thread for a couple months now, almost bought the xz, but seeing both took their sweet time to launch and one's finally available...
So just returned from a mall, seen it in 2 stores, live.
It looks really nice just as pictured by everybody in these forums. The screen looks amazing, very sharp, cannot compare to anything else. Sound thru loudspeakers best I heard in a phone.
However..
The built quality seemed to lack.. Alot.
The metal parts didn't seem to be aligned properly to the point where visually they were protruding out; the corners felt rugged, especially where the metal will stick out. There were minor gaps, albeit too visible on both models.
Now, surely I have heard about these possible issues. Wasn't too worried before as consider myself less picky about things in general. But after seeing the store model, I am a little worried. I know I get to bring it back if not happy my question is how the store demo version compares to the actual thing? Aren't the demo units supposed to be better, at least in build quality? One thing I am sure of, will carefully inspect it in store.
As an aside, all my phones past 10 years bought online: I wouldn't take the same chance with one whatever return policy.

I had a few issues with build quality on my first few handsets , rough edges etc and then on my last one (which didn't suffer from the capptive button problem) I decided to just take care of the rough edges myself and used a bit of 2000 wet and dry sand paper on the polished edges and white band, now have a perfect handset

Pixel issues are going to increase as pixel density has more than doubled over the last few years. No way around it. We also need to remember that it is in no way HTC fault and that every single phone manufacturer has similar failure rates.
From what a fair few people on here have said, the most recent builds are fixing these issues.
I myself have a model with very minor build quality issues but it's not enough to make me want to get a replacement or switch to another phone.
The phones so good that these minor issues can be overlooked, by me at least.

Got my One today and it's perfect or very near..
Checked a little bit on the issues I seen or heard of before, mechanically it's almost perfect, alignment and all, no dead or stuck pixels, call quality seems alright, sound recording and playback.
The only issue if I may say so, on maximum volume there's a bit of distortion on loudspeakers.
I will get to play more with it this weekend, can hardly wait, but so far it seems like a nice replacement for my sgs2.

Wow the build quality seems to be really disappointing, but I guess you cant expect much from a 350$ device
Wow sucks to be you ! That's some bad luck, had my n4 since launch not a scratch or crack.
I doubt it has a weak screen more a badly angled small fall, lesson here is get a case asap and be careful.

This. I have NEVER cracked a screen on any of my smartphones, not because they all had good build quality but because i take care with my gadgets. For example before i got my case for the Nexus 4 i would not put it down on a table without a cloth underneath.

Simple physics guys..
Glass will shatter if it hits the ground hard. Don´t forget you don´t own a simple phone anymore like a Nokia 3310 Your smartphones are actually very sensitive mini computers.
Gorilla Glass may prevent the glass from becoming scratched very easy, it will never prevent it from breaking though.
This is hard to read. I have an S2 that's I've dropped many times from hip level, no case, and the screen has yet to crack.
I definitely bought a case for this one because no matter how careful I am I can't keep my phone from dropping.

Now random cracking is an issue, but even 2 inch toughened (laminated) glass will break if it hits the ground along its edges/corners because the stress distribution is concentrated there.

I obviously agree with your first statement but why do people always have to bring up the iPhone to compare things to. How about an HTC One, or a Samsung Galaxy S4 or an LG G2? People think if an iPhone does something then we can just accept it. I would expect an iPhone to break. It is built by underage kids and is known to get damaged easily regardless of what Apple tells us.

My point was that the S2 has a gorilla glass and it took many falls without cracking. T barely has any scratches after 2 years too.

Budddy, Gorilla Glass doesn't make your phone shatter-proof, it's just protecting your phone against scratches.
Sorry to hear that dude.

The only reason I brought up the iPhone is due to the "popular opinion" that it has the best build quality.. Not that it's my opinion though

I find it really disrespectful when people talk down on people that drop their phones and say they should be more careful.
The reality is we are all human! human's make mistakes! Some make less than others, but we all make mistakes. If you have never tripped, said the wrong thing, accidentally dropped something, well then congratulations you are a perfect person! But no need to put down others.
