Couldn't have said it better myself.
It took an inordinate amount of searching to find a USB driver, for the device. The following link will hopefully save some of you some time.

Got mine about 2 hours ago. Very impressed so far. Feels great in hand and fast as hell too

The first time you plug into a computer it should see it as a CDROM and prompt you to install drivers, mine did and it worked great. I was impressed it had them onboard like that.
So far I'm loving this phone. Fastest phone I've ever used. And I even love LGs ui. Love the ability to change the screen animations. Lock screen is the best on a phone.

Well, now you tell me. I guess I wasn't observant enough to notice what it was actually doing. It took me an hour to find the right driver.
Hello,
For those that got the the phone does it have 1gb or 2gb of ram?
I ask because AT&T website says 1gb of ram but all other websites that reviewed the phone said it has 2gb of ram.
Thank You.
2 GBP of ram.

I got mine this morning, came from an HTC One X. Rooted, but haven't debloated yet.
Couple thoughts :
1. It is definitely faster 'feeling' than my one X was.
2. 2gb ram is good
3. Screen seems about the same as my one X - which is to say it is VERY good.
4. So far battery life seems about as expected. Looking at better battery stats, looks like there aren't any weird wake locks, and phone stays in deep sleep as expected.
5. Works fine with my 64gb micro sd card
6. Pretty much any case will hide the notification light since cases typically cover the power switch...

I saw that too. A different page says 2 GB. I can tell you for sure (phone sitting in my hands, with 1.3GB of free RAM) that it's 2GB.
It feels faster than my one x but I like the way the Onex feels in the hand so much more. I keep going back and forth. The screen seems sharper but way higher in contrast or something, I'm not sure what it is but the colors just have more blue tone to them compared to my Onex with its warm tonea

I got the belkin surround case. I like it, as I really only want a case to raise the edges so the screen and back don't directly touch the table when laying down.
I turned off the notification light in settings since the case covers it anyway.

Is there a notification light on the front of the phone?

Greetings to all the XDA community. I felt like i had a bunch of different problems with my new HTC One, that encompassed a few different threads, so i was wondering if Im the only one with such problems. If any of you had experienced one or all of these problems please let me know what you did to fix them. I appreciate your input, first time HTC owner here
1. Battery life very very subpar. Charged it for 4hours out of the box before using the first time, battery fell from 100 to 20 in 5 hrs of regular use.
2. Battery charge time is terrible. Takes 3 hours to go from 30% to 95%.
3 Wifi scan range is horrible. My Note 2 picked up 2 bars of wifi in my room, while the One cant even connect. Sitting 10ft from the Router, bars keep fluctuating from 4(max) to 1, sticking to 2 bars mostly. I dont want to burn through my cellular data allowance atleast at home.
4 Camera resolution in very average, I know its only 4 "ultrapixel", but it could be muh sharper even with that.
5 and ofcourse, the legendary capacitive buttons, especially the Back button. Unresponsive half the time, responsive after 3 soft touched (and one frustrated one). I dont mind them lighting off at times, but the unresponsiveness is unacceptable.
The build is gorgeous, no problems anywhere. The speakers are just awesome. The phone feels amazing in hand. But if i cant get wifi in my own house, and the buttons keep being so stubborn, i cant spend 2 days with that, let alone 2 years. Am i being too picky here?I hope so, cuz i REALLY love this phone for its PROs.
Please let me know what you guys think!! Thanks!!
My only problem is that battery seems to not last long and the gap on top. I wonder if I can exchange it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
i didn't notice battery life issues (esp coming over from my nexus s) but I probably have less background stuff running than most-- I actively shut down facebook syncs, google talk, etc.
no issues with wifi antenna whatsoever.
the capacitive responsiveness issue is documented and supposedly fixed in one of the upcoming OTAs.
Sounds like you may have a defective device. I'd exchange it.

They advertised the phone as GAPLESS so if theres a gap and you think is bothering you then you free to return it ( if you still on you 15 days )
Half of the top of mine is gapped from between the head jack and the power button all on the left side id guess roughly 1/64th of an inch..maybe less it's hardly a concern that's how miniscule or a problem it is to me.
As long as it doesn't display screen issues and get dirt beneath I'm fine with it.
It's not falling apart and I use an otterbox anyhow.
It would be far more realistic to let the phone grow old.... maybe drop it ...crack something let wear take place....so it looks legit... have a good reason to get an exchange/assurion claim.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I don't know about T-Mobile, but I know many international customers have gotten warranty exchanges because of gaps. If the gap is big enough that it bothers you, ask for an exchange. It is definitely ridiculous on some units I've seen.
About charge times, it charges normally up to about 90% then slows down much more than most phones. I think it's very well-implemented given the totally non-repairable nature of the phone. I just finished charging an hour ago, and it charged from about 30% to 90% in under 2 hours, then spent another hour going from 90% to 100%. It's much better to charge slowly at the high end and preserve the health of the battery. Also most people probably know this, but charging over USB from a computer is much, much slower than using a wall charger (and wall chargers vary in power output as well).
Can I just go in a T-Mobile store and ask for an exchange for the small gap? & they'll replace it?

I am having the exact same problem as you (#5 above) with the capacitive buttons. The Back button doesn't respond half the time. It is really frustrating. The Home button too respond especially when double tapping to bring up the recent apps list it doesn't respond like half the time. I thought maybe it was a software issue. I guess it's a defective device then?
I have read that the buttons can be fixed through a software update by htc, though I have no idea when tmobile might push it out. For people in Europe with the same problem, they claim the OTA fixed it.
If that's the only problem you have, it may be with waiting for the ota or a custom rom with fixes.

I got mine online, so im not sure of in store availability.
Thanks to each and everyone for your valuable advice and experiences. After countless hours of online research and tech support, I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people are having a at least one issue out of the box with their phone. HTC seems to have rushed this phone into the market in an effort to beat the S4 in timing, but in doing so they have caused quite a few quality control issues with undoubtedly the best smartphone at this time.
I bought a S4 to compare side by side before I made my decision, and after days of deliberation it seems that the One is superior to the S4 only in the flawless design and excellent speakers. This is purely my opinion, but after putting them side by side in my room, and seeing full wifi bars on my s4 and the one struggling to get just one, I must with heavy heart return my One. I came from a note 2, looking for a 1080p display and connectivity for my media consumption, and HTC could only provide one (pun unintended).
With all of you struggling with issues with your phones, good luck. I guess I'm staying samsung for now.
My older HTC One X also has poor wifi in my house. My iPad picks up signal great in my house but the minute I start walking away from my wifi router the HTC One X drops connection. Seems like wifi reception is not their strong point in all their smartphones.
I have 3 issues with my current phone.
1- It has a bright spot on the screen. I'm not sure if it is a bright pixel or what but it only glares when I am on a white screen and it is about the size of a period.
2- My speakerphone sounds blown... it crackles every time i use it.
3- My phone takes 8+ hours to charge no matter what charger I am using. OEM or not.
Now. Do you feel any of those issues would get a replacement? I do not have insurance but my phone is still under warranty since I got mine in February.
Try a program called dead pixel test(market) and then tell Verizon your results. I always run my refurb phones through a battery of tests.
To your last? Are you rooted? If so change kernels and or calibrate your battery and steal your kids chargers and test.good luck
PS I gave you a free txs

Not rooted.
The dead pixel test puts that black menu bar at the bottom of the screen.... and that is where the issue is.

I've always had good experiences with Verizon like that. Normally the most I've seen the do is check for water damage. They're usually very understanding and don't mind helping out if they can. That's why I love big red!
So I have a similar screen issue, but mine is a blue haze in the middle of the screen. Also been having the SIM card error problem. I called VZW today and they're sending me one of the certified like new devices. However, they did mention if there was any damage to the phone I would be charged $299. I mentioned that the plastic cover over the charging port had broken off like day 2 I had the phone. She said she's not sure if that would or would not be considered enough damage to charge the fee. Has anyone sent it back with the broken cover and had any issues being charged?
These are the terms for a certified like new device as written up by Droid-Life.

i think my biggest concern, and its not an actual problem with the phone. is LGs drop in value so fast, ill probably play it with for a week and stick with my s4 till the phones done dropping in price in about a month.

Coming from the Droid Incredible, then the Galaxy Nexus, then this - well, the tech has come a long way. I should probably post this in a separate thread, but do the buttons being on the back bother anyone? Because they don't bother me at all. I was a little surprised actually.
its good to hear that from more and more people. i imagine when you click on the back button it pushes the phone forward because of the force it takes the push the button but sounds like no ones having an issue with it.
I also love this phone

Speakerphone & call quality works fine for me, but each person seems to have diff exp when it comes to them. Honestly, this phone could produce NO SOUND and i'd prolly STILL use it, lol
as for Knock On, it takes a few awhile to a) realize you have to tap on a "clear spot" on any homescreen, not over an icon or you will launch it, little bit of learning curve, ppl soooo exaggerate... b) it seems to respond MUCH better to 'tap" from fingertips, not a "knuckle"...And most imp, if you find always, "looking for a cleared area to tap" to turn your device off, just double tap anywhere up by notifications, and it works EVERYTIME!
Do not be worried, within 10 minutes of opening the box, i can almost guarantee you will be totally sold on this phone...
Those "negative Nellies" are prolly the type that HAVE to find something to complain about...Every forum has 'em!
Ms D
I don't really use speaker phone so I can't comment, Bluetooth has worked well for me though. As far as knock on, if I have had my screen off for a long time, I find one initial touch and then doing knock on works 100 percent of the time.
And I actually like lg's keyboard! No one has mentioned it.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Yeah the speaker is a little weak in my opinion. Other than the HTCone i would say that all phone speakers are mediocre.. some are just a little better and some a little worse... I would say the lg g2's speaker is in the middle.. and if anything a little worse.. still it works and does the job for me. As far as Knock on/off .. It's a fantastic feature.. if the screens been off for 20-30 minutes it works the first try.. if it's been hours since you've touched your phone it seems like it takes 2 sets of knocks.. not a big deal though.. awesome feature! I've been transferring info/data/progs from my gs2 the last couple days and have noticed myself knocking on the GS2.. pretty funny but it's seems natural even after the first day!
Love the LG keyboard, I was using a leaked version on a rooted Optimus G and its the best kb I've used and it comes with 4 skins I believe. Knock on and off is imo the best feature out of all that any company has come up with in the last batch of flagships. I'm talking dynamic notifications, and always listening crap. Also nice to see they use the only feature I actually used on my old S4, smart screen to detect your still looking at screen and display stays on. I love the drag up feature to access quick access items, they added tons of options to the launcher more in line with an aftermarket one to a degree with icon changing, screen transitions and such.
Speaker isn't the worst, but it isn't the best either. Scale of 1-10 I would give it a 6 in accordance with my experience with other phones. It's very usable but won't win any awards for speaker sound, like the HTC One.
As far as knock on; when the screen is on, "tap off" works flawlessly when tapping the bar on the top or any open unused area on the screen. When "tapping on" the phone I tap three times and it works every time. Sometimes double tap doesn't work the first time when the screen is off.

Viper? Was curious if anyone has tried it yet
So today while i was listening to music via AmazonMP3 in my car through the radio, it was also plugged into the charger. the phone went idle and turned the screen off, nothing abnormal here, however, this time when i went to turn the screen back on it would not. music was still playing and the orange charge light was on.
This happened twice today. the first time i was able to hold down the power button and force it to reboot. the second time it won't even do that. i hold down the power or hold down power+vol down/up and nothing happens. not even the buttons flashing. i've gone to the point of holding them down for 2 mins just to see if long term holding may somehow do it.
when i got home i plugged it into the computer to see if the computer would recognize the phone and to see if i could force reboot it using ADB. the computer did not see it and i tried ADB devices and it did not see it either. i'm basically at a loss at this point and any ideas would be welcome
little about the phone
running Viper 2.0.3 with S-off
well the LED just turned of... so i went and plugged it in to see if it would come back on and boot up.
neither the charging light or the phone came on....do i now just have a paper weight?

Have heard a couple people say to leave it on charge, whether the charge light comes on or not, for 24 hours. Then try to reboot.

ok after letting it sit off the charger for a couple hours last night i plugged it in to start t he 24 hour charge and the charge light started flashing like it would normally to let you know of low battery. after about a minute this didn't change but i took the chance and attempted to turn it on. which it did come back on at this point. however, it didn't have enough charge to stay on since the charger is not a fast charger and wasn't giving more then it used. it shut back off. i unplugged and replugged and this time it flashed and then turned solid. turned the phone back on and it stayed on without issue.
this morning it was still coming back up. though i have had one instance where it didn't today but i was able to force it off by holding the power button.
i went ahead a few minutes ago and updated to viper 2.5 and i'm hoping that the reload will correct the issue... guess we'll find out
Thanks for the help!
though now i'm getting errors in Viper tweaks... to the Viper forum!!

i did.... the original error this post is about isn't venom related. it's hardware. once i reloaded/updated to the latest venom i was getting something different.. thus why i said 'To the Viper Forum!" on my last post

Have heard a couple people say to leave it on charge, whether the charge light comes on or not, for 24 hours. Then try to reboot.
Hope you get it figured out. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

well at this point i'm saying it's a hardware issue. after i updated to 2.5 (and got the viper tweaks error resolved) i'm still having this issue. even had it this morning without it going screen off and i was looking at it this time when it happened. what it did was the screen just looked like it currupted the image with vertical lines and everything went grey as it was fading out. and then the charge light stayed on again. at least this time i was able to force it off again and turn it back on.. but yeah. i'm going with hardware issues. i'll probably go to Verizon tomorrow or this weekend and ask if i can take my wifes upgrade 1.5 months early. it'll be nice if they let me.. though now i need to figure out what i'd want to get..choices...
Too bad about your DNA. Personally I kinda like the One Max. Nice big screen and expandable memory.

expandable memory is always nice!
though i'm also looking at the LG G2. my dad has one of those and it's been great. the 3000 battery is nice, as is the 13 MP camera...i'll just have to compare and see which one i like better over all. price may play a part as well since right now the G2 is $50 while the One Max is $300....
just looking at them compared though. the One Max doesn't have as good a processor as the G2. 1.7 GHz vs 2.26 Ghz (both quad). i suppose a take the good with that bad would come on either phone since the G2 doesn't have expandable storage.
also... i'm not sure i'd want a phone that size. 5.5 would probably be the largest i'd want. i'll hold it when i go to the store. maybe i'll find it more comfortable then i think...

i've never actually had a samsung phone, either as a dumb phone or a smartphone. i've had a OG Droid, Xperia play and the DNA and that's it so far. one of my co-workers is trying to convince me to go with the note 3 since that's what he has. but i don't really want a phone/tablet. it wouldn't fit in my phone pocket that's built into my pants
i've rooted and unlocked samsung S2 before. but that's about it....

I had a Samsung phone for 2 years and hated it, it constantly froze and I had to do a battery pull daily. There was also little development for it though u doubt you will have that problem if you get the note 3. After owning that phone for 2 years and then picking up the DNA I have become an HTC fan. I had a Samsung continuum. Jut my little rant about Samsung.

Do we have any solutions for the verizon g3 for the lag? I just switched from nova back to stock and theres considerable lag. I've waited 1-1.5 seconds for the app drawer to show apps. Also I mean the phone In General isn't the quickest. I know other carriers you can access the hidden menu to turn off thermal throttling but to my understanding we don't have that option.
I wonder what is apparently wrong with some people's G3s.
I am stock Dalvik, unrooted, with all the bloatware installed. I just hit the app drawer button on my home screen for the first time after a restart, while reading this, and the drawer opened fully populated almost instantly, way less than a second.

Lol Idk but it sure is irritating. Like why LG, why? My m8 was blazing fast
I have to agree about having lag. I came from a moto x and compared things side by side with my g3. The moto x performed every task quite a bit faster. WTF. After a week with it I'm considering returning it.

I know man. I like it with xposed and stuff but I'm waiting for unlock. I've seen worlds of difference from just going to a really well optimized stock Rom. Just did it on my note 10.1. So laggy now it's butter and the battery lasts 2x as long
I am gonna see what the new moto x looks like after its announced thursday. I'm still within my return policy.
I like the phone but many of the factors I bought it for aren't really there...other than the camera being awesome.
I do agree that getting unlock is key. Roms can dramatically change the way a phone is. That's partly why the moto x runs so well, its pretty much stock android.

No lag here on my G3 and I'm coming from a Moto X. I will say though that the X performs everything just as fast the G3, if not slightly faster. But it really is negligible. I think the main reason behind the lag is simply the software. So I think it will only improve. But I think the speed of the phone is just fine. Runs great.
As the G3 heats up internally, and some of them really do that pretty quickly it seems, it's thermal protection coding cuts heavily into it's performance.
Perhaps this is at least partly the cause of the differences people are seeing ?

Are you using a quick circle case by chance? I noticed serious lag while using the circle case. I thought it was xposed, mod themes, etc. I uninstalled, went to stock and have the same issues. I noticed it the most when opening the flap and had the setting to unlock the phone when opening the lid. I shut off quick circle app and it all went away just like that. Massively disappointing and am not sure if it is my case or the app. Can't imagine it would be the case, but will have to find buy a new case to troubleshoot more. Im using an Lg G3 qi/nfc quick circle case.
All the quick circle case is, really, is a small magnet that lines up with one on the mid-right-outside of the front of the phone. You can trigger the sensor in the phone with a little kitchen magnet and the quick circle will activate with no case on the G3 at all.
So, its not the case causing the problem.

I ran the V6 Supercharger script. I am also using Epic Launcher ( which is better than Nova IMO) and I see no lag at all. I also debloated a lot of junk. This is the combo that worked for my phone. Every one is different. Good luck man!

Yeah, I guess my point did not come across that well, but I was trying to infer that it was the software. Just not sure if it was the Quickcircle App (which causes lag when 1st opening the lid and registering the home screen) or magnet misalignment.
