I want to hear the opinion of those which are already using this version of HOS. Are there any problems regarding the construction (quality build) of the product? So far, the only major issue is related to the fact that is slippery but you can solve that with a nice protective cover.

I just received a brand new One S gradient metal with S/N SH24 yesterday and it's absolute perfectly built.

good to know. I'm from Romania and here nobody imported the Grey version yet. I just talk to a guy from a supplier and says that next week they will receive the first handsets of this type, so I''ll check with him again about the SN

To me the only issue is that the phone is so damn sexy I take it out of my pocket much more often so the chance of dropping it increases as well. And I am using the clear hard shell case which does not cover top and bottom.
I think this is a known issue of the phone design.
Seriously, there is no real issue of the phone apart from as you mentioned quite slippery without case.

i've already ordered myself the case which is a rubber type covering all the edges of the phone
i'm dying till the next week when I can finally order mine.
Hmm using it more and more without sweaty hands I also can confirm that it's quite slippery. But this feeling is also quite lovely! Since I really hate cases cause they hide the beautiful design and make each phone look the same, I certainly have to think about a solution...

I got a very similar case but with Andy on the back. I'm looking for a case with a transparent back so I can show off the sexy backside.
Sent from the (problematic?) One S.
The only issue I have is the radio. My signal jumps up and down constantly in areas where I never had issues. Many others are having the same issues. They're also experiencing wifi issues.
Sense 4.0 is nice and definitely an improvement over previous version but it's still a pain to change settings and stuff. I'm rocking the Apex Launcher right now and it's great.
The hardware is sleek and sexy, and it speak for itself.

Yes, apart from known software issues which exist on both black and grey one s, such as data connection and WiFi, the build quality is very good.
I have 4 cases already... One official clear hard shell, one cheap solid black tpu, one clear white tpu, and one clear s line tpu which the seller wrongly sent to me. So still waiting for my fifth case which is a plain clear tpu I actually ordered from the last seller. He did not want the s line back cos the postage costs half of the case price.
I personally don't mind case, but i do agree that hiding the beauty of the phone is a crime! so, I tried different clear case. Hope the coming plain clear tpu ordered from eBay UK is the best answer.

Did you use previously the Sensation? Cause I used it(I still do till the S will arrive to me) and I have those death grip issues. Wifi jumps up and down constantly and also the GSM coverage is awful.
My only issue I'm having is the WiFi and the blasted HTC sense weather clock widget not updating...even called HTC and they couldn't fix it. What I meant by updating is the weather location...just stays on one place that I've been...or says current location...its annoying.

No my previous phone was the TMobile HTC G2, which is still awesome with great devs behind it. No death grip issue has been reported and I haven't experienced anything like that, and hopefully never will lol.
I swapped SIM and then a new phone and the signal issue is still there though I do have to say it feels a little better overall.

Received the replacement case on Saturday. However, it is not absolutely clear... It is white clear, yea the base colour is white but gives some transparency.
Not very pleased but did not bother going back to seller cos only paid 99 pence and for two cases with a sock.
Seems like the hunting of a clear transparent case is still ongoing.
By the way, I went to the Chinese eBay alike website to see what offered there. No different from what we have in UK eBay and amazon. Given the fact that most of the case is manufactured in China, I have to wait for either they pick up or a local English brand to come up with something nice.

Still don't know whether I should go for sensation or sgs II.
except for qHD and design quality, I like everything from sgs II.
But I still want to go for sensation. I have seen some of the video review and found that the sensation screen has yellowish color when being looked the side.
I am a bit a person like to show off. am wondering whether the hot girls will just laugh at this.
Sounds to me like you have bigger issues than just the yellow tint
Hot girls don't tend to like people showing off phones. It's not usually a turn on unless they are geeks. Just saying...

Well, ignoring the girls comment, on the Slashgear screen comparison video they mention that on the video it looks yellowish but that in real life it is very white (whiter than the SII).
I got mine delivered on saturday and was immediately disappointed as the screen does have a yellow/green tint and the whites are not bright white
I went to my local vodafone store to compare it with one of theirs and the one they unboxed had a perfect display. I tried to exchange but they couldn't as mine was an online purchase and not a store purchase!!
Went home and contacted the online team and they agreed to exchange and made arrangements for a replacement to be delivered tomorrow (tuesday). Several hours later I got a call from them to say they were out of stock so the replacement will be delayed but I should get it sometime this week!!
Overall I like the phone but the display on mine definitely lets it down! Hoping that the replacement will be ok
Please update it on this. If this is case by case, I would still give it a go.

Of course it is if you're not happy with it. Having compared mine to one that was ok it was obviously not up to standard. Contact customer services via the phone and request a new replacement.
Still waiting for my replacement though, had another call from vodafone earlier to tell me I will now recieve mine tomorrow and not today. Hope it does as I have now had my sensation for almost a week and it has been in the box for all but about 2 hours!

hoorah!
So it's finally arrived 10 days after vodafone agreeing to replace.... what a performance getting it.
This one is good, the screen is fine and whites are white.... yay!
Fully set up with no other probs yet found although like others have reported it does get warm on charging.
Now we'll see how it goes......
Another update. Went to shop again today, same thing, went to phones4u, their one looked tiny bit whiter. Decided to stick with my current unit..
Also, i noticed that brand new ones at voda where even more yellow than mine, so maybe screen needs some time to burn or something? One thing i'm not going to do is i will never put my desire next to sensation, as this annoys me a lot then, when i can see how much difference there is.
Another thing, i believe it is software problem, not hardware, as when i look at xda its got some hue, but when i scroll forums, colour changes to normal ever so slightly. Weird.....
Oh, and the LOOKS i was given at vodashop.... I think they believed I was an idiot, shame i didn't have desire with me...
Thanks man. That is really great to know. I might go for sensation. What an idiot I am.

They are a sticker material on the aluminum which gives them a different color than the rest of the metal.
Just warning you guys... Put a transparent rounded small tape on the letters... You could be next victims...
My set is not in warranty... It was imported from Europe... i am in Asia... Do you think Asian guys will exchange it for me for free?
...or put a light coat of clear varnish (or even clear nail polish) over them.
Asian guys might do it for free, Just ask.
Good luck.

Looks like it's time to buy a case. :x
Not a issue for the Sensation XE, There left dull to go with the rest off the phone =)
the picture is not so clear but, I actually think it looks pretty cool like that.
from the pic it makes it look like there is strips of carbon fiber pieces underneath...
anyway, you said no warranty but have you tried contacting HTC anyway?
maybe they'll hook you up regardless since the product is less then a year old.
if not, look at it this way... you now have a one of a kind, limited edition back cover.

I currently own a G2x and am really interested in picking this baby up. The last few days, however, I've been reading about a lot of issues. These are mainly quality control like wear and tear on the power key, the paintjob coming off on the sides, etc.
I was hoping some of you guys could share your experience with the phone and whether or not I should take the plunge. Is everyone having the qaulity control issues?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
My device is working amazingly. great battery and performance. the only paint chip issue is with the black and red model. I have the silver and blue model with absolutely no complaints. My suggestion: get this device!
I am very happy with mine.
I have a D30 cover on it, so I haven't seen the paint issue (or because the T-Mobile US model doesn't have the issue) and my power button works fine.
I also came from a G2X.
Agree with all of them .....one of the best phones out. No disappointment...no regrets with this phone....its the real deal and T-Mobile has an update coming out within a couple of days or so...so any lingering bugs should be fixed...this is a high quality phone built to last!

The T-Mobile version is the grey+blue version. This one does NOT have the chipping problem. As far as I understand, T-Mo will not be selling the black+red version. The only way to get black+red would be to get the international version shipped from online. The grey+blue (no paint chipping issue) model also has an international version as well (not T-Mo branded). I would prefer to get the T-Mo version (if you have T-Mo) because you can get it for a cheap price with contract extension if your line is upgradable.
Either way: black+red version = chipping problem, grey+blue = no paint chipping problem. The reason is because of the material it is made of. The black one goes through a process called micro oxidation where the metal is zapped with a lot of electricity. This leaves the black finish over the metal, which may chip over time.
I'm really happy with mine too. Only a couple of minor software bugs for me (that will probably be fixed with the OTA).
About the chipping (and pretty much all problems with all phones), it's hard to say how prevalent the problem is, because usually only the people who have problems speak up. You almost never see anyone make a "Who else's phone is perfect and totally awesome!" thread. So there could be hundreds of thousands of people without problems, but you only hear from people with issues, which makes things seem much worse than they are.
If you're really worried, I'd say go for the silver one - still the best looking phone out there, regardless of color. Black is boring anyway.

very simple, made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in usa has to have higher quality otherwise the government of this country will kick htc's butt lol. while made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in whatever party of the world, I dont thing is a big deal
I love my One S. The only thing I'm not totally happy about is the display. Sometimes the right edges of icons or text are a bit pixelated. However, this is not noticeable in games or movies which is what I mostly use mine for anyways. It's a very sexy device, and once I rooted it and put Trickdroid on it with a few tweaks (6 x 5 app drawer and removed the 3 dot menu stuff, remapped the soft touch buttons), it's just shy of perfection. Damn sexy looking too.
So basically I should get the blue version and don't have to worry about the chipping?

I have the One S myself, and yeah, I don't like the screen b/c it's not as high res as the X.
I just got the One S, but am thinking about jumping ship to the SG3. One of the things I like most about the One S, however, is the f/2.0 aperture on the camera which allows for better pictures in a low light situation.
Anymore input?
I'm still considering picking this phone up, convince me not to lol.
I kinda like the greyish color not tho, so the chipping isn't a problem.

At the moment, nothing. There really isn't anything that they can do once the process to the aluminum is completed. A coating to cover it is only as good as what it's covering, and if that chips, well...you get the point.
If you're stuck on the red/black one, just make sure to buy a clear case for it and you should be okay. Alternatively, I maintain that the grey/blue one is pretty sexy. And Samsung's plastic phones with Touchwiz suck. Don't do it. =)

Hi guys.
I have recently upgraded to the HTC One Mini and I have to say that I'd love this handset if it wasn't for the fact that the plastic edge/chassis keeps cracking. I am on my second handset as Vodafone were happy enough to replace my first one when I reported this issue to them but it has happened again on my second. These small cracks were not there when I first got either of the two handsets but seemed to appear after a few days of use. I have been back to the store again and they will replace the handset or let me change to a different model/brand so there is no issue there. My question are: Has anyone else had this issue? As I can't seem to find any info on other instances. And, Does it's big brother the HTC One have the same issue as I may upgrade to that?
Cheers guys any info would be appreciated.
So I got mine from Vodafone the first day they came out ..your post has had me scurrying to a bright light to check.
So far no cracks...pheeeew
Where do they appear for you...can you take a picture? Are they the same place each time?
Can you think of anything you may be doing that could trigger it? Heat etc
All the best,
Sam

I do have photographs but I can't upload or link them as I don't have enough posts. I will do it when I achieve the 10 post mark.
The situation at the moment is that the Vodafone store manager has passed photos onto the local HTC rep and we are awaiting a response. As for potential causes I have no idea as I am particularly careful with my phone's (to protect resale values) and even more so as this is a brand new handset.

But it has this mini mini cracks on the plastic edge (left corner, downside.)
It wasnt there when I got the phone, but it appeared from nothing !
Same as yours.
I guessed that the phone got hot while charging, and the aluminium started getting a little bigger. So the plastic was pushed outside and cracked.

after 5 days no problems and no cracks, i keep you updated if something happens.
I received mine device yesterday and have spotted no cracks.
wonder if this is vodafones (euro) mini or the US as well. I'm abit hesitant now on picking this up with a chance that the plastic frame might start cracking later on.
Hopefully this will work. There are a couple more cracks on other photos but I have left them on my laptop at work.

Not much has changed since my last post I have noticed one more crack and I am still waiting for the store manager to get back to me with feedback from the HTC rep, I may pop in tomorrow to follow up on the issue.

also have a small crack at the volume down button... and I even use a silicon case
mine is from Vodafone-DE.
Is everyone having this problem using this a Vodaphone user or is it happening on all carrier's versions?
I hate to say it but mine is still crack free. Got it from Vodafone UK on the 17th August.
Crossing my fingers here...
Hi,
I have also two cracks, one at the volume down button, and one at the bottom side of my mobile.
Vodafone DE will replace it, but actually they know nothing about this problem. Looking forward to my replaced mobile.

Same cracks at exactly the same positions, also with Vodafone-DE.
I will wait for the black-version - don't think it will work, but maybe I will get a new black one
i have one on mine near the bottom... its a new AT&T model
its not serious enough for me to be bothered... pretty much every HTC phone ive ever had has had some sort of manufacturing defect like this (HD2, Sensation, MT4G, One, One Mini)
i've got about three cracks on mine from ATT- doesn't seem like too big of a deal but if it leads to something (for anyone) we should all agree to come back here and say.
Got a new device, warranty by VF DE. Actually no cracks, production date 01.09.2013.
Hopefully better quality...
