The camera is pretty bad :/ It's also hard to hit the power button when holding it one handed.

Double taping the status bar turns the screen off.

I never got that to work, only double tapping to turn on, it must be sensitive. Also that's why I'm not a huge fan of the camera :/

I upgraded from the DNA as well,and so far I don't have any complaints. The camera isn't the best but I knew that going in.

You can improve the camera a lot by the custom settings.
.
^this was a bit over saturated

The cameras not really bad. It's a 4 'ultra pixel' but it's good in low light and all the effects I.E 3D makes up for the la lacking pixels. I love the phone coming from a note 3. The build quality,display,size,speakers,and speed is what I favor most.
I'm not a real fan of sense but I took care of that with nova launcher and the viper1 Rom? I recommend that Rom if you're thinking about rooting ?
HTC ONE M8?

After a little over a week of use my experiences with this phone has been nothing but positive... Of course the camera leaves a lot to be desired but other than that, smooth sailing.. After a day of use on a full charge I still have 50% + left. It almost lasted 2 days that's a lot more improvement over the droid DNA.. I haven't rooted yet, I'm actually kind of scared and hesitant to. On another note I feel like I made the right decision over and S5..

My screen is broke and i need to get some stuff off of it

I accidentally dropped my phone the other day and the screen broke. The screen is completely unresponsive (stays black all the time) the only action i get is that the Menu, home, back, and search buttons light up. I need to get to some files on the phone and im having an issue with remotely accessing them.
I cant access anything on the phone cause the screencast tool i have requires the phone to have USB debugging turned on. When the phone was dropped it was turned off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whoops sorry I didn't mention that. It's a SGS vibrant.

Ok, maybe later I can post screenshots of where to tap on the screen to get usb debugging on. I have a samsung epic, so it shouldn't be hard. That is if the screen will still register taps. What home launcher were you using?

I believe it was the touchwiz gtg launcher. I believe the menus are set the same. Also that would be very helpful.

This is the TWlauncher from the epic, all I have is a theme, so this should be the same for you.

The One S has some shortfalls. But I'm convinced this phone is this year's dark horse. The only thing keeping this phone
From top dog Is the pentile screen, which I don't mind though.

Yes I agree , I love this phone , just wish we had true s-off and a little bigger screen but I can deal with it . Can't wait till we get a good jelly bean rom.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Nice!
Ah, nice. Hope have the same community support like GS3.
What are u guys on about I think the one s screen is just perfect if anything a tiny bit too big the only thing I don't like about this phone is that it does not have NFC and in that case is not very future proof as all good Phones releasing now are going to have NFC
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
HTC has a great record for updating there phones. We'll see jellybean soon enough
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
YES! I got something that is great! I keep hearing about this pentile screen. I'm gonna look it up. I wish there was a browser that makes white webpages black, though. I know you can do some fancy stuff to get it to work, but if only Chrome had that option built in.
And not just inverted, either! That makes pictures look creepy.
This phone is the bees knees minus the pentile display...
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I like the One S better. I haven't had the SIII, but I've had several similar sized Galaxy Nexii. It's honestly too big for regular use. I don't want a phone larger than 4.5".

Yes exactly like that! I think I have to return my phone, but I don't want. I don't know how match is the battery drain because of that led.

I'm still waiting for my phone but are you sure thats not the default way it should be?
My girlfriend has the same phone but the white version. And here led on the phone isn't giving any light! So I think it isn't the default state of the phone!

Tbh, I really don't think it's affecting battery life much, if any. I'm reconsidering getting a replacement after using it for a while and seeing what the battery life is like, but that may change.

Agreed.
Someone have any solution ?
Call Google and get an RMA started.
Yep, there is no other way than replacing it.

Cut a small piece of used screen protector and get a hole puncher.

This puts just a bit of space between cameras to keep it from getting scratched.

FYI. Tried this methid on my screen and dramatically reduced screen brightness.
Psh, why bother when you can just..
Simply use a case with a rim around the camera and be done with it. I use the original Samsung case and didn't look back. In the picture the protective stuff is still on, removed it shortly afterwards.

Yeah it stinks.. hopefully it's no t hardware
I also have that ....
Heard from others that it's a hardware problem and the only fix is exchange. Other carriers seem to send a new device. How is the verizon?
It seems that we are getting refurbished one after 14days of purchase according to
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/device-replacement-program/#defect
Anyone tried to talk or chat with Verizon Customer service?
