Thanks for trying. Finally got it to work after uninstalling and reinstalling three times. :T
Not HTC's fault.
I sincerely hope so. With the AT&T One X plus, htc decided to use a different LTE modem than the international variant and it pretty much killed off most of the development for that phone .
Whats with the 3 dot menu on loads of apps, I'm new to android (been with iOS since the start, until today) and it confused me.
Also, I don't have an icon in my taskbar telling me if I'm on 3G or not, is there a way to enable that?

Google guidelines are for developers to do away with supporting hardware menu buttons and to integrate menu into the app better, sadly a lot of app develops don't stick to the guideline. Even Facebook do not.
Because the HTC One lacks a menu button and because these apps are not sticking to guidelines the HTC one displays the onscreen menu in those apps.
HTC will in the next update to the OS proper add support to map the back button with a long press to be a menu button.
That will then remove the annoying on screen menu button.
Regarding 3G, when you are accessing mobile data do you get a H with down arrow icon on your taskbar? If so then you are getting HSPA 3G
I was wondering I no I can turn off blink feed is there away to get rid of the clock and weather right above it?
Yep any other launcher disables Blinkfeed, but also disables Senses other widgets like weather, clock, music etc...
You know what kind of sucks about the notification light? When you're charging the One it renders it useless because it's a solid red light that's always on. It doesn't flash or flash green or anything when there's a notification.
How... elementary.

On mine when I get a notification it'll blink green while it's solid red.
36 hours later my run with the One ends. Mostly because some of the apps I depend on aren't available on Android and I can't compensate with something else.
Battery life was iffy at best. Also I believe the device I had had a defective radio. Couldn't hold a data signal to save my life- keep getting a SIM card error as well. T-Mobile wouldn't just exchange it in store and said of I wanted a new one I had to send it back for a replacement. Told them thanks but not thanks and am now back to my 5.

Which apps aren't available to you on Android? Not bashing you or anything, just a current iPhone 5 user who is very intrigued by the latest Android hardware, but holding off trying Android before we see what Apple has in store for iOS7.
I keep seeing the the Chrome app on the One has the beta tag over it. I have never seen this before. Is it only on the one?
Battery Life
So far loving my HTC One! Not a fan of Sense so Nova fixed that for me. The build quality and look and feel is top notch. The camera has been awesome...better than my iPhone 5...that i sold on CL! The battery life is great. So far for me and my use it last almost 24 hours on a charge through normal (for me) use.

Well, I'm not sure if I have a defective battery or not. While in use I can watch the percent points drop every couple of minutes and it takes forever to recharge. Sometimes if I'm using it while on the charger the battery still drops. Earlier just setting the web in chrome it dropped 2 percentage points in about 30-40 minutes, and I had it plugged in!
Is this normal?
The first 2 shots are at around 6pm when I put it back on the charger and the last two are right now.

I had enough of Sense 5 & Blink Feed after a few days, I'm running Nova Launcher Prime.
