I have always bought Samsung for the last few years but thought of give the new HTC one a chance how I regret it
3 replacements and still have issues so I've thrown in the towel and arranged a replacement in a few weeks to the s4 so back to Samsung I come
Question one of the biggest things with the one is the speakers I presume the s4 will still have tiny speakers ?
Have Samsung sorted the emmc chip problem out as my note 2 died onme hence jumping ship
Tbh im looking forward to turning to Samsung just hope the handset is as good as people make out

check out the reviews thread. one of them has comparisons of the speakers. i have an S3 and it's not tiny. the S4 is supposed to be a little louder in some aspects so it'll be fine. prob not HTC One loudness but it won't be tiny sounding.
not sure about emmc. looks like it was sorted out back with the S2/Note 1. i'd suspect it would be fixed for S4.
edit: off topic, what was wrong with all 3 of your HTC One's?

Your name is familiar either with the S3 or nexus 4 forum.... Anyways
What was wrong with the One?
Might be time to change your signature, eh? "HTC one... Best phone I've ever had"

Hi mrvirginia
The first one had an issue with the camera when taking video's had an awful hiss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ1xApO0wN8
also the home / back button didn't work properly (and still the case on my 3rd replacement hence why ive thrown the towel in)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5ZBhJiFfjY
Second one which arrived - well what can I say !
Proximity sensor didn't work
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otsa0_gkVI8
Back/home lights didn't work - presume down to the sensor not working
and it also had an horrendous screen problem where white glowed through because it wasn't sealed
I don't think ill get htc one speaker quality just don't want really low
Really disappointed at HTC but now know why I went to Samsung

I never htc phine and i always used samsung phone so far. Since i use sg3 now i was going to give htc one this time, but seeing you had third replacement with different problems i think i will wait for either sg4 or something else.

man, that sucks. well, in the past i've had more problems with Sammy phones over HTC. S2 had a nickel sized ring on the screen that i didn't notice until after it was too late to send back. Galaxy Nexus had banding issue and when i sold it, it had been used for about 6mon and then off for a straight 6mon. turned it on and it had some bad burn-in lines. S3 screen has a few black splotches when looking at completely black screen in a dark room. had the HTC One X when it first came out and the only thing wrong with it was a loose volume rocker on the first one. second one was perfect but i just ended up not liking that device. so yeah, Samsung just typically has issues with it's AMOLED displays, pentile or not. also, the S3 i have is my 3rd one haha. first one had backlight bleed. second one had very loose power/volume rocker. this 3rd one has a loose power button but i gave up at that point and just said whatever. here's to hoping the S4 is perfect...
I imagine ever phone has issues when launched I can't think of one that has been great first time. Maybe the iPhone 4S I can't remember any glaring issues from that. But I have had problems with a lot of devices when I purchase them first off. I'd maybe wait for the S4 until others get it then see if it has issues. Not ever HTC One is a bad device either.

The speakers are twice the size of the N2 and three times the size of the SGS3. Here's GSMArena's conclusion after comparing the two...
Winner: HTC One. The Galaxy S4 is a tad louder, but the HTC One takes this one with well-positioned stereo speakers and far nicer sound in general.

I had a Teg3 One X I got last March from the first batch built and it was perfect. But there were a ton of h/w and s/w releated QC issues and people on the forum weren't exactly happy. The One's experiencing them too and people saying "my third exchange seems to be better" isn't uncommon. HTC chooses incredibly complicated designs which look great but are a ***** to manufacture consistently. Beauty has its price.
My first SIII had a defect, the volume buttons were so loose that when the phone vibrated, they would rattle inside the device! Not that I'm going to complain too much about it, I kept it for almost the full 60 days I had to return it at Best Buy with Silver rewards membership, and I'm on the same one since August 2012....
One thing I wanted to mention in this whole discussion is.... who drops an SIII for an iPhone 5, after having the 4 and 4S? Hell, it's enough to switch between brands of Android manufacturers to understand how things work on the different phones, but between operating systems? That would drive me crazy, aside from the fact that even trying to use a locked down OS would make me want to throw that stupid thing against a brick wall!

Lol experienced that with my note 2 .... hence why I jumped ship however I regret doing that and cant wait for the s4
Just hope I don't experience the same with the s4 as im stuck on a 2yr contract
One bonus with Sammy is I have a proper repair centre 5 mins from me in Manchester and they sorted my Note 2 out for me
In the same boat, just called today and said I want to swap my contract to a GS4. I just hope I get a good one first time, Samsung have never let me down before. It is a shame though as I really wanted to like the One, I liked a lot about it, just the build quality was very poor and it was a dead/stuck pixel heaven on that screen.

I had a dodgy S3 on release, I was one of the first in the forum if I remember & I switch phone OS's loads. Doesnt bother me at all I could happily live with an iPhone or an android phone. I preferred the 5 to the S3 my opinion obviously but I'm using the One now and liking it
I've had 2 HTC phones and absolutely hated them both. Problems galore...
The GS4 is my first jump into a Samsung smartphone. All my other techy friends left HTC for Samsung and never looked back.
Crossing my fingers. I know that there are/can be issues with the first batch but I'm not letting HTC bite me in the ass for a 3rd time. This thread is proof that I can't trust them anymore, no matter how good the reviews for the HTC One are.
Sorry guys but my opinion about some of you is, that you are really bored and looking for something perfection that is not normal.
I don't mean that to serious problems like pixel errors or something similar serious problem.
I mean, that if you are satisfied with your phone and you probably find a little problem (like a volume key not being perfect or the unibody is 0,02 inch bigger on one side) you surely know that you can send your phone to guaranty departement if the tiny problem is getting "bigger".
Not just that. you post it big on forums to show how unhappy you are, but there is another star in the dark sky shining on you and you illusions.
Most people of this kind also don't have really good social contacts, like having a good girlfriend for example.
Please do not see this as an personal attack. It is just something that someone wants you to know, that you are not happy for real...

Hi guys,
I just get my fourth nexus 5 (I already had 1 black & 2 whites) and suprise... the back isn't as soft as my first black nexus 5. That's not "glossy" like the white but seems that they changed something.
Something I noticed is that my new nexus 5 was manufactured in February and my three old ones are from January.
Does anybody else seen that ?
I got my first black Nexus 5 on launch day and another one just on Monday. Both feel exactly the same.

Actually I have. My friend's Nexus 5 is newer, it's a slightly different color and the back is not as soft.
No two devices are the same... Some may have a slight soft back, some may not.

I also noticied that the screen is a bit more "yellow" than my others phones. But I suppose that it's like the back, I cannot say anything : the phone is working so "there's no problem" for LG/Google

If you're talking about the n5, The speakers weren't updated nor was the style...
Before this thread gets lost in the debate from a couple months ago about revisions and the months it was manufactured, there was still only one revision, rev11. Like someone else mentioned, the phones won't be identical. Some might feel a bit different. I for just got a replacement last week for a nexus 5 I had since nov and it feels the same. Also, the yellow screen is something people have experienced from the very beginning.
I'm making a cluster with them to create an Iron man suit.
Seriously, one for me and the others for members of my family. I'm the only one they know who has a google account with a credit card on it. So i'm the only one able to buy the phones
Hi to everyone, after a sad story with a LG Nexus 4 that i bought from a guy i am back to my old (and dear) Galaxy Nexus but now, he is totally messed up... i can't use it anymore..
So i am planning to buy the oneplus but i read on the internet about the annoying touch screen bug (that is a hardware bug, so i think it is very hard to fix with a update or whatever).
At this point, the question is: the new stock (I mean the new production line of smartphone) of OnePlus one, still have this bug ?
I love oneplus one, i really love this phone.. great designe, great components, great price but i am very scared about the touchscreen bug!
Also, i won't wait the new oneplus becouse it will be for sure pricier that the One and it will be released theorically the last 3 month of 2015...
Thank you for any suggestions
A presto

I bought 1+1 last week and i dont have this touchscreen issues, afaik only minority of users are concerned by this problem, for me its working smooth on stock and custom roms [emoji106]
I did not have the touch screen issue for almost half a year. As far as I can explain it started happening when the temperature outside got warmer, even if it is much colder again, the issue persists.
I need to flash the new Ak kernel with the new touchscreen firmware, which has been released yesterday and check if the problem still exists....
But what I wanted to tell you is that I did not have the touchscreen problem first.
Many thanks.. i am very near to buy it it...
Today there is a spicel price sale but actually i can't place order

Have bought my 1+1 about 3 weeks ago. No problem with touchscreen. There's no yellow band on the screen. Everything works pretty well! Lollipop is awesome! One thing you should know. If you're buying a white version, it's a little bit slippy and also quickly scratches and gets dirty.

What bugs are you talking about?
Actually there is only one "bug" at touchscreen but is not a default bug and they can fix it in warranty.
For many people the touchscreen issues might be caused by a hardware problem. If it really was software after more than a year it should have been solved.
I wanted to let you know that it seems the touchscreen problem is gone after latest CM 12.1 nightly with integrated touchscreen firmware update.

Don't take notice, it isn't riddled with bugs. I've had two for almost a year and have zero issues. Most "bugs" are caused by people who don't know what they're doing.

I have 2 OnePlus, One is bought for almost a year till now, I think it's the first batch one, China version, it does have yellow band issues, but no touch screen issues at all, and the second OPO I bought early this year is Nov 2014 batch, no touchscreen issues or yellow band problem, so I guess the problem has been solved in new batch production line.
I bought the one+1 the last november and I had this two bugs: low volume in/out (solved), yellow band. I also suspect that the display quality degrades over time, compare with the other phones I had. Anyway it's a 300 $ phone, well suppported by android development. My opinion, the value for money is still excellent.
I got my OPO second hand in November '14 and its been great. Don't have the yellow screen issue and dont have any touch issues. At the end of the day which phone hasn't suffered from a software/hardware problem at some stage or another. And I'm talking about the big flagships, you check their forums and you'll see people complaining about this and that. Not all users have problems, sometimes its just luck of the draw. I can understand peoples frustrations with trying to return the device and/or dealing with Oneplus customer services. Hopefully the latest firmware update that seems to have been merged in the latest nightly will fix issues for people with problems once and for all.
Honestly i think a properly firmware update could fix an little hardware problem.
Anyway i got my new 1+1 and i can't see any problem atm, no yellow band, lound volume, touch works great, i really hope for the best becouse for 299€ is soo worth!
I bought my OnePlus One in March 2015 and I unfortunately got the touchscreen bug. I have since been issued an RMA and I am waiting for them to receive my phone, and then I should be sent a replacement after that. I really hope I don't get the touchscreen issue again.

I'm pretty sure my touchscreen problems were triggered from a hot day too (quite rare in the UK). When I receive my new phone, ill make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight!
There is no touchscreen bug.
First one had dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. Second phone kept getting the battery overheating message and would not let me use any apps besides the phone app. Exchanged for my third this morning...so far so good. Even worse news however, is that while I was getting my last phone there was another guy in there getting an exchange on his Note 5 for the screen going bad. He said it started out in the upper left hand corner and eventually just spread throughout the entire screen. He said he had the phone for about a week and a half. Needless to say, I'm slightly worried that Samsung may have rushed this out just a bit too quickly. Time will tell I suppose. Happy otherwise

I'm on my second. The first one had an issue with the glass not being fused with the display properly. There were small gaps between the glass and the display. Not really a huge issue but in certain colors you can notice it.
But most, if not all, devices have their issues and bad batches, defects etc..
I just posted about me being on second note not even in a week. Screen went dead, flickers green.

Notbing to be shocked about. Everything has a error rate. Some note 5's have defects, most do not.
I am a technician at Sprint retail location. I have seen all these issues, but very few and far between. It's not anything that I'm worried about, as I purchased a note 5 as well. Sometimes you get some bad luck.
My wife's new Note5 has had a few spells where it wouldn't ring for incoming calls or text, any thoughts on this?

If you haven't already, try ##72786# in the dialer.
Also make sure her network connections are set to LTE/CDMA and not Automatic. I've had a lot of service issues come in due to being set to automatic.

Thanks, I did set it to lte/CDMA but haven't done the ##72786# thing yet. It's done it twice, she's had it for a week now. You can call her and it goes straight to vm and not even ring.
If the problem persists, take it into a corporate store and have them 14 day exchange it for a new device. I would give it a few days after re-provisioning (the 72786 code) to see if it happens again. But be sure to do it within those 14 days (day 1 does not count, so it is 14 days after the day of the sale) so you are guaranteed to get a new device, although I am sure there aren't any reconditioned devices for the note 5.... yet.
edit: a word.
Thanks, yeah this Note5 was a replacement for a broken Note4 through asurion. Other than this little hiccup it's a very nice phone.

Yeah she likes it, I do too to be honest.
In that case, you have device protection, where if it is not working they will replace it in store. Just try to do it within 30 days where it doesn't hurt the tech's numbers.
But yes, you did get lucky, but not very surprisingly seeing as Note 4, even reconditioned, inventory is non-existent. Quickest I've ever seen a note series phone go off planogram and end of life.
Samsung can't fix these phones.
Sent mine in for the bottom of the screen not working, they say it's BER, and they can't fix it NO MATTER WHAT I WANT TO SPEND. I asked the guy over and over "If a board in my Samsung TV goes bad, you will replace it, but not in your flagship phone?" his answer was no they won't fix it.
They say it has water damage, which is hilarious. I MAY have pulled it out of my pocket, in it's case, in a drizzle once and in 3 weeks it's ruined?
If you don't have an otter case or something that completely encompasses this phone to keep the water out, I suggest you get one.
I've dropped a phone in a tub of water that is still working fine, a few drops on this phone and it's done.
I have to agree, I bet this phone gets a really bad reputation pretty quickly for being a super poor design.

All Note 4's are being replaced with Note 5's. If you start a claim online right after confirming you had a Note 4 it says it will be replaced with the Note 5 due to them not having Note 4's anymore.
Well my mother in law went to a sprint store having issues with her Note4, they had to order her a new phone and they sent her another Note4.

Sprint stores use a different company for replacement devices vs. Asurion. I do know that we are still replacing Note 4's with Note 4's in store, though it is on back order. Asurion is probably giving out Note 5's due to their vendor not being able to get an ample amount of Note 4's to offer next day replacements.
I've got the pink Line of Death.
Its a pink Line vertical from the top to the bottom.
This Problem is already known from Samsung but Not official agreed.
Anyone has this Problem too?
It looks like this
Mine did that yesterday, only a faint line in the same place but not as strong as yours. I powered off for 5 minutes but it was still there. 5 minutes later it was gone and hasn't reappeared since. Odd.
Thats Not my mobile, but it kinda looks like this
Hope that the next Samsung Service Point can repair this due to my guarantee
I find this weird that this issue pops up now after a year and when the S8 is about to launch
My previous S7E had that line on the screen. It is a physical damage, because the line appeared and disappeared when I pressed in the area of the frontal camera. Previously the screen was broken after a fall from my jeans bag.
My phone was stolen on the bus, at least the thief took it with the broken screen and the pink line of death.

i've read that you can solve that problem by going to dialer and enter *#0*# and test the screen colors a coupletime which is gonna reset the screen pixels and work normally again
Tried this, but dont think that this will be the solution for the next time

With an avatar like that, I cannot trust your judgement
I had this issue over Christmas, really annoying and it got worse if you applied any pressure around the Samsung emblem. I thought my number was up as I'd rooted and the knox was obviously tripped. I took it into my local network provider shop as a first port of call. They told me they have their own repair service which doesn't involve using Samsung so they sent it off. I still expected a comeback on the knox but when I went in to speak to them a week or so later I was told they couldn't repair it and I was handed a brand new S7 Edge. Bonus as the old one was from launch day last March.
Just to say I was told it's a well known solder joint issue at the top of the screen, which is why applying pressure around the Samsung emblem makes it worse and why the line is always in exactly the same place. It can only be fixed with a hardware repair or replacement, nothing you can do with software will fix it, nor will any sort of reset.

Mine did that yesterday, only a faint line in the same place but not as strong as yours. I powered off for 5 minutes but it was still there. 5 minutes later it was gone and hasn't reappeared since. Odd.

Apply pressure around the Samsung name/earpiece, I reckon you will see it reappear. Either way it will be back, it's a hardware fault which might start as an intermittent issues but eventually will be a constant.

This absolutely will not work.

Awesome! I had the same issue but then I accidentally put the phone through the wash and had to claim on insurance. They replaced the phone with one that was manufactured in October and *touch wood* I haven't had the issue on this one so far.
I had this problem a month ago... I used Samsung's warranty to service the phone.. They changed the screen and the battery...

Just checked and mine was manufactured the end of November. Hopefully if the pink line was caused by a design fault it had been rectified before either of our new phones were made.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The issue was probably only with the earlier released devices. My brother got his around June time and has the pink line. Unfortunately he smashed his screen and cannot claim.
the same pink line problem started yesterday.. in the morning afte rplaying with those color buttons after entering code, lines went off. However when i press on top part of the phone, the line still appears... may the service decline repair since the phone is rooted?
Beefheart has got a new Phone with root
But through my phone network repair service, rather than Samsung.

Maybe there is a constant in this cases.

Exynos CHIP and ISOCELL Sensor.
NO Pink Line yet.
This is so annoying. I was about to root. Was preparing Odin when I read about this. Now I'm not sure about root, AGAIN.
