On a completely unrelated tangent, noticed you have the weather for Palm Harbor up Fernandez--my neck of the woods. Tampa area?

I'm guessing he may be a Canucks fan and not happy about the hockey photo. ;)

Yup. Grew up in Safety Harbor and went to USF for college.
 
can the htc one still have the ring unlock with the weather animations when pressing the standby button to wake the phone?

Nope. Not in Sense 5. HTC decided those animations bogged down the OS and given how speedy Sense 5 is in comparison to Sense 4 and 4+ I'd have o say it was a wise choice overall and a decent tradeoff.
 
Ugh, found a dead pixel or dust stuck under the glass of my HTC One. I know it's minor but it bothers the hell out of me. Just sent it back for an exchange today. Hope it's painless and get a new one back soon. Using the iPhone 5 again for now :apple:

Little things like that would drive me nuts too. Hope its as speedy a return as mine was :)

You can still unlock directly into an app that you set in your tray. Or is that particular animation that important? Will you never get a future phone again if it doesn't have that? Just kind of curious

I'm not familiar with the previous iterations of Sense but I use Widget Locker to replace the default Sense 5 lockscreen. It allows for Lockscreen widgets and offers a bunch of different lock slider options--just checked and Sense (older version) is one of the choices.

Then buy a HTC One X+ ;)

You won't get it with the One or any other new phone running android...

Here's a new picture taken today.....

Camera has certainly improved. Yes it's not highest res, but it can still capture some stunning shots.....

Stunning skies and not a trace of photoshop :)

You live in a beautiful part of the world. A very nice photo. Living where you are, I can understand why you would want to take landscape photos.

I will try and track down a One in Montreal tomorrow as playing again with a demo model today I was smitten once more. I decided to go *once again* to the Apple Store minutes walk away and apart from the speed, the 5 really did not do it for me. I *really* wanted to find something in it that rekindled the original excitement I felt for the 4 but I can't.

However, I know that my carrier here, Rogers, is not nearly as liberal when it comes to what I may deem a defect as some people posting here. I am not that picky when it comes to the "gap" but I believe, from a couple of other reports, that I may well be able to get only one return for defects. I will then have to go the HTC swap route.

That is a great picture! Wow!

I picked up the S4 today and now I'm even more torn between the two. I have to admit, the camera is a big deal for me. I depend on my phone to take great shots. When I see pictures like yours I'm really split down the middle about what to do.

Thanks all :)
 
Costco has the One on sale for 129.99. Went out and bought it for my wife. Now deciding if I want to return my S4 with it. I do have some issues with that bottom bar that keeps popping up with the One. Only knock I have with Sense.

Not sure what you mean, please explain....
 
Any way to make the calendar bigger. All it shows a tiny dot where an event is placed. I went into settings but I see nothing about some text in place of the dot.

She went into facebook and there is an extra menu bar.

That will be fixed in a future update. What happened is that Google wants manufacturers to get rid of the physical menu button and for developers to design a menu button into their software, like in Chrome where it has the menu button on the top right. So HTC has gone ahead and removed the physical menu button, but a lot of developers still haven't updated their app to Google's standards, so for those apps that black bar appears on the bottom.
 
As someone who is thinking about making the move to the HTC One and also has a large proportion of my music collection on my iPhone, I was pleased to read the below from MRU on another thread. Thought it would be useful to re-post on this general thread about the One;

I did this test side by side..... Other than camera test this was one of the more important test for me as I do like using my phone to listen to music to.

Unquestionably the HTC One wins. Without beats enabled the sound is very similar to each other, with beats enabled you hear a lot of crisper extra detail in your music. A guitar riff or a violin solo that was hidden in the track is suddenly audible on the one. Beats audio works with bluetooth too. So yeah for clarity of sound through a complete mix of music - the one wins.

Added to the fact that the stock music app is better on the HTC one - the Samsung music app is barebones - means it further wins the music test. Add FM radio built into the One and none for the S4 too.

Regardless of those things, just on sound quality alone - the sound quality on headphones is better - no question imho.

I have to second MRU's comments that you quoted. The HTC One is an audio pleasure speaker-wise and headphone-wise. I've never heard music this well on the go. Loving it.
