[INFO]HTC One Serial codes[INFO]

Hey guys,

if you didn´t know yet, you can check when your HTC One was manufactured.
To find it out, go to settings >Info > device identity and check your device serial.
This is going to be helpful, when we try to identify batches with lots of defects and the other way round. + you can check the batch quickly via settings.


Edit: There is a way to find out everything via an official CN HTC website.

(thanks to @rambo12345)

For example mine is

Code:

HT32W

You only need the the serial part before the second W ( mine is HTC32WWxxxxx ).


decode your serial likes this.

Code:

HTYMDAABBBBB

[B]HT = Vendor HTC--> Hsinchu, Taiwan or SH = Shanghai, China
Y = Year (3 = 2013)
M = Month (hex 1...C = 1 - 12 months)
D = Day (hex 1...9A..Z = 1 - 31 days)[/B]
YY = Part Code
ZZZZZ : Identification Number (decimal)

--> so mine has following info:

Hsinchu, Taiwan, 2013, February 28th

Hi all,

Here's some news for you, whether you be interested or not!

HTC are changing their Serial Number format from the classic HT[year][week] to something a bit more... exact.

The new format will read similar to HT[year][month][day]. I presume that they wish to be this precise for warranty purposes.

The month format shall be between 1 - 12, but the day format will take a slightly different shape.

Days will go from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z. Day Z represents day 31.

Three phones, three different color temperatures, three different vibration modules.

Unit 1 (silver)

• Fabricated on 12th March 2013 at factory Tierra del Fuego Factory in Argentina (Serial: FA33CWxxxxxx, Panel ID JDI C2_2)
• Power button: very flat
• Gaps: small hairline gap at the top only
• Vibration module: very soft, this is clean sound but a bit soft for typing feedback
• Display: color temperature slightly on the cool side

Unit 2 (silver)

• Fabricated on 3rd April 2013 at Hsinchu, Taiwan factory (Serial: HT343Wxxxxxx, Panel ID JDI C2_2)
• Power button: protruding a little (easier to feel)
• Gaps: gap at the top is smaller
• Vibration module: stronger than unit one but a bit untidy/dirty sound on its highest level (e.g. notifications)
• Screen: neutral color temperature, slightly lower contrat:

Unit 3 (black)

• Fabricated on 12th April 2013 at factory Tierra del Fuego Factory in Argentina (Serial: FA34CWxxxxxx, Panel ID JDI C2_2)
• Power button: very flat
• Gaps: absolutely no gaps
• Vibration module: same stronger vibration as unit two, but more tidy, nice feedback for typing (favorite so far)
• Display: Even cooler color temperature unit 1 but same brightness and contrast

Comparison of warmest color temperature on Unit 2 (left) vs. coolest on Unit 3 (right):
