Hi all,

On some outgoing calls, the loudspeaker comes on without my touching the button. This has happened both when the phone is at my ear (OW!) and when it's not, so it's not an issue of accidentally hitting the button.

It doesn't happen on incoming calls at all.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions for a fix?

I've had the same issue & haven't even received the update yet...

I have noticed the same here, but only in the last few weeks. I have not updated the software for a few months. What also happens me sometimes is I am on a call and my ear disconnects it because the proximity sensor seems to fail and wakes the screen up.

iwantmydinner

I haven't updated recently either, a common denominator. I will update and see if that solves the issue.

3 withdrew it last week due to some issues. It was on the 3 forum somewhere

Weekend_Yet

That issue only started happening to me after the update. Happens very randomly.

Have you considered releasing the pressure you place on the button once you realise that you are pressing it?

Thanks, no, I didn't consider simply not doing the thing that was causing the problem :rolleyes:

It's happened several times when the phone was in my pocket, it was pressing down on a usb stick for example that was also in my pocket.

It would make a lot more sense if you had to unlock the screen before a long press would turn the power off rather than (locked) > long press > Shut Down

I replicated your issue on mine. I don't have security other than the swipe up on something to unlock and go to that.
Pressing the power once wakes up the phone. It doesn't unlock.
Holding the power button down is awkward, though doable and after something like 10 seconds a message is displayed on screen saying that if you continue to hold for 3...2...1...seconds the device with will restart.

I honestly can't think of anything that I'd be doing in my pocket that would cause me to press on my phone sufficiently for 13 seconds precisely on what is reportedly one of the most awkward power buttons on the market.

You might be the exception that in this case proves the rule.

Hi,

I am on the Three Network, is the 4G available? If so do I need to d/l anything?

Also, I have "Three Like Home 2gb Internet" which allows me internet on a "3" network when abroad.

I was in London a few months ago and selected the 3 network while there but what kept happening is that the internet kept jumping to other networks, thereby costing me a bit instead of getting it free.

Anybody experienced this before?

Thanks

On the loudspeaker issue, it happens to my HTC one too, but ONLY if I have had the call on speaker for the last call to that particular contact.

Because there is no way of removing the battery to force the phone to shut down, then the long press on the power button is necessary. If you start putting conditions on it, it would make it impossible to reboot the phone in the event it freezes or crashes.

I've just noticed an issue today with my phone not charging properly. It will charge for maybe 1 or 2 minutes then stop charging, I have used two different chargers so I don't think it is the charger or the wire.

I've googled it and it seems to be a known issue. It seems to charge if the phone is powered off but obviously that's not ideal. I've tried the 10 second power button / soft reset, but it doesn't seem to be charging at all now :mad:

A second KitKat update has been rolled out - software version 4.19.161.11 (size 273.37MB) - I am on Vodafone Ireland.

Mine is doing the same, also when it get to 100% and i disconnect it, litterally 1 minute later its drops straight down to 90%, i think a trip to the meteor store is in order!!

Just wondering if anyone looses half a picture that they use as wallpaper this happened a few times to me.Also is there a way of playing YouTube videos with screen off I like to use it walking but have to hold phone in hand as to stop it pausing in my pocket.Thanks

Just got an update there 4.20.771.17

Me too

Just updated to 4.4.2 (software number 4.20.980.1) last night. Seems alright so far, haven't noticed anything major visually. Down to 14% battery after 13 hours but that's with a little over 4 hours of screen time which I think is pretty decent as the screen is always a killer.

I am with Vodafone but have a SIM free handset. Should I be able to use 4g ? Is there specific software that is required to use 4g?

Anyone know when the HTC One succesor is out? The Galaxy S5 will be available next month.

Due to be announced on 25th March and report this week say it will be available to purchase in the UK straight after the announcement. Should be in Ireland very soon after that but HTC usually seem to struggle with stock of their new phones.

Review in German, but goes to show that reviews are ready to roll after new One announcement on Tuesday.

Still think it's a big step back in terms of design compared to the M7. Why retain that black band just for branding?

I don't know....the M7 was definitely better looking, but this is the device the M7 claimed to be, a true metal unibody device.

Was anyone disappointed with the M7's construction? I don't think I even read a single review that referenced it negatively. Nobody I handed the phone to remarked that there's a plastic layer there. Which was there for reception. I honestly don't care whether a phone is made of plastic or metal, just as long as the design is good and it's well made ... and the M7 certainly was.

Bought the One X, the One, but I'm looking elsewhere next time round.

Not saying anyone was disappointed with the M7, but their marketing was based around it being shaped from a single block of aluminium. Technically only the back was.

I get pretty much every HTC flagship on release, and this year I actually lean more towards HTC than any other year. Samsung have stuck with the S3 for 3 years running, their ROMs are becoming more and more bloated with rubbish. The only other interesting device to me would be the Sony Z2.

For me, a huge deciding factor is which developers will be getting the device, and that alone is reason enough for the new One.

New 4.4.2 (no. 4.20.206.16) came in last night and running smooth.

Play Tube Free does this...also caches the videos so you can view offline or repeatedly without reloading....haven't used it much but it was ok for when i needed it...

Anyone else had an invite to the official launch of the M8 in Dublin City centre next Wednesday evening? Not quite sure how they got on to me, maybe through following htc Ireland on Twitter or being part of HTC elevate.

I actually am digging the M8's design more than the M7, will have to see it in person before I'm sure about that. I'm definitely considering it or the Z2.

Same, it think it may well be a better designed phone, I never really liked the plastic edges of the M7

I'm still trying to decide on the dark grey or silver, has anyone got a preference??

I have heard that pictures don't do it justice.

My gut goes with gunmetal grey, as it's something a bit different, but have heard the silver looks awesome. Guess I'll decide when I see it in the flesh.

Seems to only be available in Grey with Irish operators at present was the colour i was gonna get anyway, i have pre ordered it as part of an upgrade with Meteor you also get a Boomsound speaker free (while stocks last), my OneX is on its last legs cant wait to get my hands on the M8.

What length upgrade are you do getting, I'm due one but I'm on a 12 month smart contract and i ddon't think they'll give me the other phone on another 12 month contract

i like to change my phone every year, have the htc one at the moment and am looking to upgrade to the galaxy s5, xperia z2 or the new htc one.

seems like meteor are do their best to push me into a longer term contract, something i'm not willing to do

For anyone who is interested, I shot up to Newry today and picked up the new One in 3 for £459 (I think it's just over €550). Even taking into account cost of fuel, still a great price.

It's SIM unlocked, and only 3 bloat is up and down animation.

Goes without saying, it's awesome.

Hi,
I recently changed from a S3 to a HTC One and love the phone.
In my work area there are different WIFI routers, the S3 when it was connected to WIFI and if you moved to a different WIFI area it picked up the stronger signal automatically and connected whereas i find the HTC stays on the previous poorer signal and I have to manually go into settings and change to the stronger signal. Is there anywhere in settings that I can set so it automatically changes to the stronger signal.
I am on Tesco mobile,but in the area I live i only receive Edge as the O2 masts are not 3G enabled, was thinking of moving to a 3 business Sim would I be mad as I read in the forums that 3 doesnt have good customer service.
Thanks

Any ideas when Sense Six is going to be rolled out to HTC One M7 owners?

According to a man in the know that I know.....a matter of weeks.

If you can't wait, unlock and root your phone, and put it on now. I was running sense 6 a week or two ago before I sold my One.

Maldini2706

Anyone else found their battery life is atrocious since the latest software update? I was up at 6.30 this morning, charged my battery overnight and it's at 20% with very little use. I'm charging it via USB for the past half hour and it's only maintaining it's level, not going up at all. Any suggestions for how to fix this? It's making the phone unusable.

dave13

Do a factory reset. Sorted my power issues after the last update

tok9

I've genuinely never had an issue with the battery power of the phone.

Always lasts a whole day and even without charge will last until about 11 or 12 the following day.
