Magicalan,
You've had it for over a year and you want to send it back and expect them to replace it?
Give me a break lol, any service centre will say its wear and tear.
Im closing this thread as it serves no real purpose. As for the original Rom, check the Vogue wiki.
Hi, guys, I've been hesitating whether to buy or not the HTC 7 Pro over the last 7-8 months. I've been waiting so far for the device to get mature and any manufacturing defects/flaws to show up (if any).
So, guys, you've been using the device for 7-8 month now (some of you rigorously) and your feedback will be important to me.
How's the device holding up? How's the hinge mechanism holding up? Any signs of wear after 7-8 months of use? How's the sliding mechanism holding up? Are there any indications that the phone will fall apart soon?
Any problems at all? Please post here.
Ive used it for 8 months now, and i love it. No problems at all on the hardware
mine holds very good. i like the battery life of it. and the whole phone is made of good materials, the mechanism is really good, and it looks like it is build for some years to hold, and some rough use also the phone is worth all the money
and i have the latest RTM build of the OS (7720) with it the phone gets even better than on the stock version of the OS.
Been using 7pro since March, no major problems to report. I work in construction so the phone has to cope with less than perfect enviroments. Keep it in a sock, use a screen protector. There appears to be some sort of protective coating on the battery cover that has started to rub off, but other than that I can report that it is an excellent quality phone and I see no reason (at present) why it won't last the 24months of the contract.

i only have a problem with the back cover, it seems that is painted in grey and not the original color of the metal plate. and now after just 2 months of careful use. the letters on the cover are fallen out i a cant find them. and the color splits...
Has somebody the same problem like me???
but still a good phone.
Hey there
Yes, I had to send mine back in under warranty. The unit had an internal memory error and would get stuck in a constant boot loop.
The phone is built well, so it was a shock when it stopped working.
I can only say 2 bad things about this phone.
1) the capactive buttons are really annoying. Its very easy to brush past them and bring up Bing
2) WP7 sucks, its really good and bloody terrible at the same time.

mainly software bugs. The phone has managed to freeze up a couple of times, requiring battery pull; and it does get pretty hot while using gobs of data. Still, its far more refined than my TP2

Same issue with mine. Doesn't look too bad though. Other than that, had mine 5 months and had no issues at all.
Personally, I don't like the capacitive buttons.. and I'm becoming increasingly annoyed with the search button!
Also, I don't know if anyone else has this problem..
If my keyboard is slightly moved/nudged, it wakes the phone up. See video..

Now a couple of months later i see some issues, if i plug my htc 7 pro to the charger, the UI staggers, i dont know to describe it. it feels and looks like 2 frames per second if i slide thru the start screen. i think this is a software bug. because the battery statistics app (homebrew) says that it uses only 171MB of memory, from the 571MB. so it could not be a memory issue.

What's your firmware version?
Do you have a software that measures the CPU usage?
Try resetting the phone.

i have a custom ROM from ansar which is tango 8773, bootloader still 1.22.2250.0, 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U ROM. i tried to restart the phone but still the same. i have this battery meter app where i can see how many RAM is used, but not a CPU meter app and it looks like the CPU is doing something in the background for the whole time of charging, it happens not in the first second i plug in my phone, but in the first 5 minutes and then until i unplug it it doesnt stop. it is really a big bug. the scrolling on the start screen is in WP7 really fast but on charging it is like 2-3 fps. but i dont touch my device now until it is charged...

If I recall correctly, when this happened to me, it turned out to be the battery affecting the phone's performance, whenever it was being charged.. I had loads of batteries from my Touch Pro 2 days; after swapping it out for another one, the phone no longer gets hot during a charging session, and performance remaind smooth as silk.
PS: The faulty battery HATED my TouchPad charger; most of the spares charge quick, and without fail.

What do you mean "keyboard lights"? Does it light all the time? Even when the phone is closed? But if it is closed, how can you see whether it lights?
Install this app: WinPhone Info Free. Go to Miscellaneous. See the "Keyboard deployed" section. Is is "Yes" or "No" ?
I was using Nokia C7 previously, and what I specially loved about it was the clock that switched on with a low screen brightness when screen was locked. I am currently using HTC Desire, and it somewhat has an almost, I say almost, similiar feature - the desk clock. What I want is, and many more, that Android should also have a similiar app that can switch to a digital clock when the screen is locked, with wake lock feature, and minimal processor usage... I specially want this this since during nighttime reading, I find it irksome to even press a button on my phone. and it sould keep runing without needing touch input...
I need those posts xD
goto market and try this: DockClock, it works if youre phone is on power supply.

Buy a cheap digital clock on ebay ! ! ! :laugh:
The effect u desire to get is a glowing number plate on the screen of your phone, which would require the screen to be turned on for whole night, i don't think battery will love such relationships at night
Awesome idea

If you have an AMOLED screen, I'd read up on how they work.
Personally, I wouldn't want to waste my screen life with this, even if it might be minimal - just get a cheap digital clock and put some tint over it if it's still too bright.

+1 on this! ^ :good:
Oh come on guys, can't y'all do something that fits my description???????????? I love the desk clock on C7, and it doesn't drain the battery. With SetCPU, we can set profiles, and that's not gonna drain the battery. And what more do I need?? I run my battery for almost three days, because I've got normal usage according to me.
With how flaky my battery has been, ive been debating about trying a new ROM on my phone... but i hate the pure stock 2 screen thing. the buttons are way too big, and its a pain to have to hold down the wifi button instead of just tap on it. having to hold it down to enter settings, and just tap to turn on and off would have made SO much more sense.
the rest of the OS seems to be pretty much comparable... but i just hate that stock pull down menu.
Im just not sure what i should do. Well first im planning to get a cheap used version of my phone to play with the different roms first (then if i mess it up its not my main phone ive bricked)... but im just not sure which to go with.
I really enjoy the look of touchwiz that so many others hate. and i know theres themes in existence but the dont theme the pull down menu, i played with that on my moms stock phone.
Oh, another must have for me is separate lock screen and home screen wallpapers.... my mothers lacks that feature too.
Reviews are really bad with the sensitivity of the haptic buttons for volume control and on/off. Some people have said an update with better accuracy is required. This is a deal breaker for me and I have owned almost every phone since HTC started. Currently I own the u11+. Please give you reviews here after you have spent some time with the phone and possibly tweaked any possible settings to make your experience better. Thank you.
No issues for me. They seem to work as expected, though I rarely use the buttons. I am failing to understand why the reviewers are making such a big deal of this. Mkbhd's review seems spot on to me...
I'm playing around since a week with my U12. Can't find a sensitivity of the buttons that fits my needs...
My index finger touches the On/off button every second time I use the phone...don't know why they installed the button so deep...(or my hand is to big )
When I'm in the YouTube App or PubG in Landscape mode, the volume and power buttons doesn't work...
I'm a realy fan of HTC and owned all HTC flagships since the diamond...but that buttons drives me crazy!!!
Hope for an update
So far, I have no issues with the buttons. I went into it know that they weren't real buttons and didn't expect them to act as such.
No issues with the buttons for me either.
Here also no issues.
Grtz
Everything working as expected on my end as well. No issues at all.

I have just one issue with them, that sometimes they react if I touch the phone without even touching the buttons. For example I grab my phone (on the lower part) and suddenly my volume is all the way down.
Also if you have edge sense enabled, and you just pick up the phone you sometimes have the blue dots (to indicate that you're "pressing" the phone) visible - without actually pressing it. The dots go away shortly after you do something on the phone .... as if they calibrate itself or sth.
I have u12 plus for 12 days. For my use the haptics buttons are a real disgusting. In particular the power button. An involuntary light pressure is enough to turn off the display. Really unnerving. Every day makes me curse this thing. I'm waiting for an update, if htc does not fix these buttons, I'll sell the phone absolutely. Unfortunately, if htc fails it will only be because of him and of these useless experiments.

I have the same issue with my buttons, I'll be holding the phone below the power button and it will trigger the screen on or off. Also I noticed sometimes depending how i'm holding the phone I can't get the power button to react. This is my biggest complaint about the phone other than the software being the exact same since the HTC 10.
I don't have any issues with these buttons. Everything works fine for me. I'm already used to it after playing with the device for 3 hours.

Today i've received mine U12+ and I don't really understand why reviews complain about those buttons. They are fine really, when I press I fell haptic feedback. They are neither too easy or too hard to press, for me they are fine =)
I STILL have no issues with the buttons. I don't really use the power button to turn the screen on. I use the fingerprint sensor or a swipe. Volume button works great for me.
I've bumped the power button while using the phone, sure. Not exactly an issue to rage over for me.
My only confusion is that the button presses feel like a linear actuator (Taptic Engine), but the rest of the system's haptic feed back feels like a normal spinning weighted motor.
Hi, i have also Problems with the volume Buttons. They working like charme. But they dont working right in landscape Mode if there is any contact with my Fingers/hand on the display. I think the Buttons are being ignored if the "3 Finger gestures" is on limit.. Can anyone proof this?

Just tried to go in landscape mode, put my thumb on the screen and tried to change the volume buttons up/down and turn the screen off with power button. The buttons didn't recognise the presstouch here either. Don't think that's a problem though, but build in to the software.
Update; wait the do work over here!

Nearly every review before the phone was released: The buttons are horrible! Don't buy! Don't buy! The buttons stink! Why did they change them?! They're horrible! This is stupid! Don't buy!!
Nearly everyone who owns the U12+: What the *$% was the fuss about? The buttons work fine! Took me a few hours to get used to it, but I've got no real problems! They work just like regular buttons! Don't "not buy" just because you're afraid the buttons suck!
I mean ... do you think the initial//review devices were REALLY that bad and there was this huuuuuge improvement before the device was released to the public, or people just don't like change, or do they just have ulterior motives?
I get it's an $800 flagship with no headphone jack and rear glass with no wireless charging (but QC4!), but this phone has been EVERYTHING I was hoping it would be -- premium device with no notch, above-average speakers, IP68, sd card, snappy fingerprint scanner, bootloader unlockable and killer cameras. No buyers remorse here!
Well, I really don't get why reviewers are so mad about those buttons. If you wanted this phone because it's a complete package (well... almost, no Qi charging), don't let the button "problem" (at least for reviewers) drive you away. It's a great phone and my only grief is the lack of 3,5mm jack but I knew that it won't be here....
Btw
Usonics are really good
I have the U12+ now for 2 weeks and got used to the buttons. I mean, yes they could be a bit more responsive and i think HTC will fix that with an Update. If not, i am sure someone on XDA will. I really dont understand the bad reviews. No Notch, for real? Like it would make a phone that much better. No 3,5mm? Nothing special these days, get used to it. My battery on averange usage is great. I do watch Netflix, use Whatsapp, listen to Spotify and take here and there some pictures. I get 1,5 - 2 days battery. I am not a huge HTC fanboy but also cant denide that i really like what they did with the HTC 10 and M7. Its something new, wasnt there before and it doesnt mean its that bad, just give it some time to get used to it. Hope they fix some small issues with Android P Update. I would like to set the sensitivity for the buttons in the settings.
Sorry for my english
Everything works well here. Buttons and even the double tap for one hand operation no problem.
