Great, so my One just ****ed up. the power button is always pressed although the button itself is still movable but the phone doesn´t recognize anything else than a pressed button. Rebooting every 5 seconds :/

Hey Jonas, this is what happened to one of the did Ones I got from repair/refurb. Does it help to repeatedly press the button or something? In retrospect I was trying to break mine cause I wanted a new replacement.. But it helped the button pressed thing
It does in recovery etc too?

****... unlocked / s-off?

Hope you get it repaired.

Friend of mine sent his defective unit 5-6 weeks ago to arvato. He got back an another defective unit with a sticker on it which stated whats defect... Great. Now he´s waiting again. I don´t know whether he´ll buy an htc again.

I can press it as much as i want, nothing changes . I tried to press it very often, tried to move the button a bit , checked if there is anything that blocks the button,.. No change at all. I can boot into fastboot and eventually select recovery but then comes the force of the pressed button and my phone reboots :( Guess I will have to let it die and sent it to arvato :(

Yeah it used to be o2 branded but s-offed it.
Its my second faulty device then. First one was one of the first ones where the speaker grill falls off lol.

I have been using double tap and swipe very often, I have never over-stressed my power button. This should not happen with a 8 months old device imo. Its definitly different to the speaker grill issue but still it shouldn´t happen.


Just saw that datrepair.de repairs HTC phones too.

Speaking of defects and new HTC ones

If you guys remember I've converted my cousin from z1 to HTC one , he got silver one with literally zero gap.

Few differences vs mine one ( black )
He has exactly 00.1mm gap at the top it's invisible almost while I have at the bottom about 0.5mm gap and it's visible while when I press my speaker no matter how hard it won't bend or move at all even a tiny bit it's hard as rock while his 00.1 gap when we press gently gets all the way to the plastic sandwich ...

Another thing his speakers grill don't feel as "metal" as mine , they are metal but not having the feel of strong speaker metal like mine ...

Last thing my camera is better with color reproduction ( I'm suspecting at the new sensor / different sensor ) his camera makes a yellow hue over the pics with the flash light photos while mine is 99% same as you see with the eyes.
It's not really a hue it's more like what is pure white comes out yellowish. Tho when he's focusing his camera sees same as mine so I'm betting it's post processing somehow worse on his type of camera sensor. Btw he has blue tint while I'm still without tint unless I cross 40c battery while on 4.2.2 when I tested even with 44c I have no tint at all.

Lastly the screen is great on his device , one of better ones I've seen tho I'm still unbeaten with the blacks xD

As i have reported previously HTC added some sort of coating over the speaker covers diamond edges, they are now glossy reflective rather than mirror reflective, it must be to reduce the amount of dents these edges suffer, i also prefer the new ones as they look more subtle but no body will notice unless old and new are placed next to each other

all my comparison attempts to find difference in video sound recording has failed, so i think HTC never really changed those HDR mics :) and now that Nokia is off our back (which i bet HTC knew will happen all along)

    update 11/4/2016: the render are extremely close, official HTC 3D renders

    HTC 10 / One M10 / Perfume 3D Renders - dual tone metallic colors (original date 16/3/2016)

    click for bigger size

    Black







    Silver







    Glacier











    original model was provided by temp64GTX and I have corrected it overall, its now accurate from all sides, in the upcoming days ill post more colors and other angles

    these are the changes on top of the original turbosquid model:

    - front chamfer higher and less thick
    - rear chamfer bigger
    - camera location
    - nav buttons size and location
    - screen size
    - bezel
    - slimmer side
    - added black protective frame around the screen
    - raised 2.5d glass
    - removed the top right hole, its not hole, its a strip
    - added the right tray

    corrections are based on my my latest measurements

    here we go, after a week of hell, this finally landed here today (TW 32GB)

    my 10 rave fitbag arrives on Tuesday but my trusty old M8 one works as well

    I need to express my thanks for @imOJ for all the trouble he went through to help me get this, this guy rocks and i love Dubai!

    phenomenal build quality, this must be the first time i've unboxed an HTC flagships with zero QC quirks, despite all the beauty shots and my work on the 3D render it still hit me, the buttons are simply insane like an expensive piece of machinery, the chamfer makes the phone feels so slim and the weight is the same for M8 / M9 carriers, the grey and the black 2.5D glass combo is simple drool inducing, those getting the silver white are making a huge mistake, there are no plastics to be seen and even the plastic patch on top is awesome

    the box looks the same as the M9 from the outside but the inside is fancier, soft coated and much better organized, all the included stuff QC 3.0 charger, earbuds and Type-C cable feels much fancier than previous devices, by the time you finish unboxing one conclusion is clear, this is new chapter for HTC

    the camera out of box is nothing like we've seen lately so i've skipped testing it and installing 1.30 before i touch it

    the screen is on the surface and anyone thinking otherwise is lying to himself, the screen looks pinkish out of box for few reasons: auto brightness and the vivid mode, i have spent half an hour testing various settings, angles and doing comparisons which i will show you tomorrow but for now: I have strong evidence that this a matter of glue, actually its right there in @jmitr photos ;)

    once you raise the brightness to full and change your settings the screen will impress, i agree with David Ruddock, Vivid mode sucks! it's almost disgusting so i have switched to sRGB mode which is gorgeous and the temp slider to full cold, never seen such good whites, even with sRGB it's still greatly saturated vs M9, in short with sRGB this is extremely close to the iPhone, the coolest bit? using it at full brightness with auto disabled doesnt warm the screen at all (suggesting that the screen brightness is capped with the real full reserved for the sun)

    ghosting...sadly its true, its a regression from the M9 but hey i've spent the year fighting with everyone here who refused to believe that the M9 screen is much better versus the M8 in terms of smoothness feel ie: refresh rate, so if you worship the M8 screen you will have no problem as the 10 is better than the M8 just not as good as the M9 in terms of ghosting

    speakers: OMG, just ignore all the non sense you've read, its LOUD, louder than the M9 and the sound is much crisper, its just not dimensional like the M9 but its clearer and louder from every angle, finally music mode makes the difference, it sounds like stereo, the default theatre mode is inferior to the M9, we have yet another incident of reviewers being too lazy to switch a stupid setting

    more tomorrow

    I have decided to show you this, my mockup of the M10, because i don't want to give Evan the pleasure of spoiling the M10 for us, like he did with that God awful washed out photo he has released, here is my render of the M10 which i had made earlier but now corrected to measurements after Evan's front reveal, this is made from all the insider information i have of the M10

    note: this mockup does not show the hidden thing on the front ;)

    you can really understand the codename now, this is the cleanest most symmetrical phone HTC ever made, it contains the essence of HTC but fulfils everything the press has been asking for
    - no logo bar
    - improved screen to body ratio hence its expect to have the same size as M9 with bigger screen, 5.2"
    - AOSP like UX
    - heavy loaded camera hardware

    update v2: refined render with corrected rear camera size, fingerprint shape and clearer bezel
    update v3: fractionally wider in order to perfectly fit the M9+ 5.2" screen proportions and every sensor on the front including the speaker was readjusted to match the evleak photo, brighter colors, fixed broken front USB center on v2
    update v4: adjusted fingerprint shape based on evidence of alternate prototype, so it could be either v3 or v4 as two prototypes exist
    update v5: bigger rear camera and flash/IR, antenna's location corrected based on latest leak, FP scanner, speaker, front camera and proximity corrected using the white photo
    update v5a with Sense 8 mock-up: trying to show case how the M10 looks with black wallpaper thanks to Amoled and Sense 8 colors, Desire 825 capacitive buttons plus color tweaks here and there for better looks
    update v6a: added the back chamfer matching the silver leak, hence rear camera combo gets smaller just a bit and the side tapers approach M9
    update v7a: back chamfer is now more solid
    update v8: added real Sense 8 icons

    update 4/3/2016: the official M10 render was leaked, comparison with my mock-ups over here

    Well guys, it's a sad day. For the first time since I started using Android, I won't be buying the HTC flagship. It's sad because I really love HTC phones, and I got my start as a developer on HTC phones. But I think it's time to move on. My sincere thanks to all the HTC community here for supporting my kernels and apps over the years. I hope people aren't let down by me not getting the U12. I'll continue to support my kernels for the 10 and U11.

    Why am I not getting the U12? The honest answer is not enough users. I spend several thousand dollars per year on phones, supported by the revenues from my apps. It's pretty much a guarantee that I will lose money on the U12. I'm already really busy with more popular devices, so I can't justify spending another $1100 on a device that will have few users and require a lot of effort to maintain. HTC devices are a huge hassle to support compared to Pixel and OnePlus and even Moto. HTC still sends their kernel sources as a blob with no commit history, and they are routinely several months late in releasing them. Plus there are endless variants and weird HTC-specific quirks to deal with.

    Back in the day, HTC was definitely the best. Phones like the One S and m7 really stood above the competition. Looking back, it was the m9 that killed HTC. It was really a dud. The brilliance of the HTC 10 couldn't make up for it and although the U11 was a fine phone, I just never enjoyed it as much as my other current phones, which have really progressed in the last couple years.
