The curious eyes won't leave me alone - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

Went shopping yesterday and 3 separate people asked me about my One, while I was using it. Same thing happened today with another cashier at another store.
On one occassion, a guy asked about my phone as I'm next in line to go into the fitting room, and I had to interrupt his inquiry while my fitting room freed up. It's getting bothersome having to give everybody a rundown of the phone. lol

Actually a corp store rep that was only one of two stores in My area said that , believe it Ir not the HTCONE didn't hit alot of stores for some reason ...so many people that see the phone are like wow Really !!
I think probably because if the s4 hype and lack of retail availability that's why not many pieole are aware of the one.
When they here HTC one they probably assume HTC one S.

The T-Mobile store in Pittsburgh said that the one wouldn't be in the city for at least another month. so I just ordered online. They pushed the s4 super hard on me. AT&T has the phone here so I guess it's not unseen

I was meaning overall in popularity now and not available and unknown to the below average consumer a few weeks ago .
I'm sure by now it's picking up .
After all HTC has lost popularity in general .
So for the original OP the average galker wouldn't be aware if the NEW One or confused with the One s

No one has asked me about my HTC One

I got mine Saturday, there was only 1 store in the Nashville area that had them (West End) and when I went back yesterday to pick up a pair of Concords for my parents (first smart phones, they were looking for cheap) the guy in front of me was buying one. I had to interject (and the salesman was the one who had sold me mine Saturday, and I brought him bbq when I went in yesterday) and tell him a couple things.

Your situation sounds similar to when I first bought the N7000. I actually get tastefully asked now. With that phone it was bothersome.

Obama asked me where I got my phone from and asked to borrow it... I told him to get one for himself!

Just about all my co-workers and some of my family members have asked me about my phone.
A few co-workers have mentioned how much they love the look and feel of the phone. I work for a company that deals with SMS/Text Messaging stuff. I'm a developer there so we have to test our software by text-messaging in. Sometimes they need to use my phone since I'm the only one on T-mobile in the office. When I unlock the phone and let them use it, they tell me how amazing it is. (This is coming from iPhone users!)
I don't like that kind of attention, but even guys that only buy Apple stuff say they love the phone with just a few minutes to play with it.
HTC hit this one out of the park.

I wouldn't do that. I'd prefer them to find out and watch the expressions on their faces.
Shock and awe is always more entertaining than disappointment.

Many people have no idea what to call it. They always say "is that the phone with the speakers?" I just smile and say yes it is. I never understood why a phone would have them on the bottom.

Yeah, I've been getting the same thing - "Is that the new HTC phone?" I can't remember ever hearing this before. Sadly, people still ask me, "Why didn't you get the S4? It's better right?"

I assume you know now? Actually, I think of it as having speakers on each side, since video is watched that way. If you think of it that way, you start to wonder why most phones only have a speaker on the left side...

I think he meant he never understood why the speakers would be on the BACK.

I've experienced the same. Several people at work approached me about the phone. One guy even returned his S4 for the One.

I've had several people ask me about it. Mainly when I'm at a restaurant and I have it on the table. One server even stopped while talking about the daily specials to ask me if that was an HTC One.

I never thought of that meaning. On my HD2, it made sense; you could turn the phone over, and it would automatically go to the speakerphone on the back.

My girlfriend and her whole family have always been on iPhone. After just seeing my phone and a few features they are all switching to the HTC one. Girlfriend has already switched over and has had no thought about switching back.

My girlfriend is finally making the switch!

Yep, she is finally jumping ship from MetroPCS to Verzion! But, guess what phone she is getting? The Nexus, lol. Just ordered it this morning, should be here next week sometime. We still get the extended return period, which now it is practically a regular period since the 15th is only 2 1/2 weeks away. But, I got it discounted, early upgrade for my Xoom. I literally called and said "I would like to see about doing an early upgrade since I no longer had my Xoom. The rep didn't even hesitate, didn't have to transfer, didn't have to talk to anyone else, just did it. So, we will see if she likes it, otherwise I will pay the $35 and she is getting the Rezound also. She isn't a nerd like us, so anything above her 4 year old Metro PCS POS is going to impress her.
Nice. My GF loves her Nexus but always asks to take pictures with my phone instead haha
not being a nerd like us is why i worry that the nexus was the worse choice of the two....idk, it feels like it's a lot more to get accustomed to, whereas sense is very straightforward, ya know? either way, she'll dig it!
I think if she knew 1 UI or another it might be confusing, but to her it is going to be like getting a brand new car upgraded from a pinto, lol.
Are you seeing my wife? I thought she was the only one left driving a Pinto for a phone. LG something or another flip phone.

Well, I took her to the store to play with all of the phones several times. Most things she liked were not spec things, but rather some miscellaneous features. Plus, she knows we can take it back.

Not my phone, not my problem, that's what I say. ('Drinking out of Cups' reference)

[Q] For T-Mobile Reps here

If this question has been answered, please point me in the proper direction.
Say i wasn't liking the Amaze anymore and wanted to have it warranty exchanged. what other phones are available that would be given to me if i wanted to exchange it? What would i have to tell the CSR over the phone so that they'd be willing to give me a different device?
Reason: I'm sick of the lack of support HTC is giving to devs here. and i dont like that whole "can't charge to 100 percent and stay on the charger" nonsense.
So Tmobile representatives, can you help me out?

Im not a t-mobile rep but ill throw in my 2 cents. I "used" to be a sprint rep, so when i call t-mobile, i try to say any of the things i know usually works. My family has been with t-mobile for about 17 years. They tend to give me better deal..not always. I recommend saying the word dissatisfied a few times. I also was ready to trade in my Amaze, only because i wanted to try out the nexus and i was to chicken sh*t to root any of my phones. Hasoons Tool and the easy as pie instructions in the dev forum changed my mind. They offered me crap phones, would only exchange amaze for amaze or something that was atleast 1 generation older. They said after they have replaced my Amaze 3 total times, might they consider trading it for something that is equivalent or nicer. One S basically. If you fail on the first call, call again. There is always a rep willing to do anything to get u off the phone, be it they are anxious or dont know what your doing so they tell u YES we can do it. Be polite but constant pressure. Good Luck.
I agree with death4u, I always say that I'm just not happy and stay calm. Honestly, that phrase has worked a lot. You just don't put the blame on them, especially the person you're talking to, and tell them you're not happy. I even asked them how they can make me happy, haha. That's how I got the amaze from the mt4g for free after having the mt4g for only a year. She apologized to me a bunch and offered me any phone they had.
I've been debating calling in to get a replacement, but I don't like any of their phones. I'm kinda bummed by the lack of drivers from HTC but mostly the headphone jack is crap for me. I can't put my phone in my pants pocket or workout with it without the headphones coming unplugged...it's getting old.

Thanks for the quick answers. I am definitely always polite when calling, im just curious.

You can do multiple exchanges. They'll just offer you a Sensation or a Galaxy Blaze 4G

I completely agree with Hasoon. I go on to the Tmo Amaze forum many times daily and can tell you now that only one person has reported getting a SGS3 in an exchange. All others have been given refurbished Amazes (many times getting another phone with the exact same problem.) Only after several Amaze exchanges do they offer the customer the Sensation. I guess the bright side is that it was reported that the Sensation was taken off the EOL list.
So the SGSII is no longer an option? Cause i would take that.

The S2 may be an option...I'm not sure. Haven't read any post saying that is what they got. Based on what I have read....I guess that depends on your gift of gab. One person got them to give him an S3 all other the Sensation. I can only say that it is very difficult to get another phone in general. There are others that are taking their fight to the BBB and FCC.

http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
I haven't gone that route. I would find it hard to to accept an inferior phone. The Amaze is an awesome phone under the hood. My only problems are the 8-10 Bluetooth range (that I get.) And sound quality when video recording in a semi-loud environment. (Recording a live band is terrible.) I have been hoping that another OTA would address the problems. The BT problem got much better with the ICS update. Before ICS, my BT range was 1-2 Ft. So it's hard for me to just believe that the problem is the hardware. The problem appears to be larger than Tmo and HTC want to admit...but not large enough to care about.
Thanks again for the reply. And this reeks of the same problem the Sidekick 4g had...both samsung and tmobile were damn well aware of the awful software problems with that phone, but didnt care to do anything.

Oh man, thats a **** ton of replacements. And how long did it take to do that?
And to the one with the daughter with the sk4g...yes, battery pulls were WAY too common with that device. Just too much going on for a device that was uniquely put together, such as the jump button.

So how did it go if you don't mind me asking? I was thinking about doing the exact same thing. I don't think multiple exchanges really matter, I got the amaze from my first warranty exchange from the Sensation, i simply asked what alternate options there were cause I heard people were receiving Amazes as an option.

well thats cool, I factory reset my amaze to see if it fixes my issues (autobrightness, screen sometimes wont power on)

This is why I buy HTC phones and continue to support them

as many of you know, i've been in contact with customer support since launch day of the rezound, reporting any bugs we had, the pink light issue and mainly the bad audio during video recording. iv'e spoken to them over the phone countless times to tell them whats up, and voiced all of our concerns.
a year later, of course there's a few issues with teh DNA, so i dug back up an old ticket and was able to chat with support again, and i was able to get the same guy i spoke with last year. we've been messaging back and forth almost daily about issues and i've got a thread ongoing here where people submit any bugs or suggestions, and i know for a fact HTC is looking at them.
the other day, he asked me for my address along with inviting me to join HTC Elevate. today i got this in the mail. on top of it, i'm sure you all remember how i recently was able to get an HTC rep to my store for the first time since we've opened just by contacting them..the day after i wrote to them, a rep was at my store to show me all the new HTC stuff, and provided free display models and brochures...and a day after that, HTC sent a huge box of stuff to give customers (stands, bracelets, sim card openers, ice scrapers, little things)
so yeah. this is why i deal with HTC. i know they'll listen to me, and i know how much they appreciate our consumer feedback. i've never had a company treat me so well as a customer and with such a level of personal contact.
Very cool :good:
Very nice.
Maybe HTC could teach Asus a thing or two...

Can you point to the battery threads you are talking about? I'm getting max 4 hours screen on time, and usually 3.5.
only way to get more would be to turn off data, location, and most other stuff. Kernel is killing the battery on my first unit, and a replacement unit is doing the same.
Thanks.

Very unhappy with the G

At first glance I fell in love with this device. Its sleek, has an amazing screen, beautiful design and very fast. Also has a okay camera (prefer my s3 way more). So whats not to love? Well after 9 days and mixing it up between devices my G now has a dead pixel, shuts off and is sluggish. I have no idea why because the phone has never been dropped or exposed to any kid of water. So needless to say I called AT&T and because I am within my 14 day period they are exchanging it even for a New Titanium Galaxy Note 2. Really wish it worked out, loved the phone. So you can catch me me back in the sammy forums for now, still might get another OG.

Cool story bro. Thanks for letting us know. Have a nice day.
No matter how good of quality a device is known for... there is always a bad batch that comes off the assembly line.
This applies to cars, phones, electronics, any consumer product...
I think that in this case, you are one of the unlucky few who got on one from the crap stack.

In now way am I bashing or downing the OG. I would have gladly accepted another G in return. As a matter of fact I miss having it, I thought it was a great phone. BUT when I called AT&T and they offered a new Titanium Note 2 as the replacement why would I decline it. Especially if it dsent cost me anything. Like saying " I'm sorry sir that your new Honda Accord is a lemon, would you like this new Corvette for the replacement". Who is going to say no. Not only that but I wanted the note 2, havent had one before. And for the smartass who said " look at all his devices" If you had know that a majority of the android phones were bought and donated to the developers of those devices and that I am sorry I can afford to get the new phones when they come out. Get off my nuts bro dont be jeleous.

Definitely not "jeleous" about your English vocabulary.
Have fun in the Samsung forums with your ohsoridiculous amount of money. Hope you find less things to complain about with the Note 2 instead of making pointless posts on their subforum as well.
So they replaced a $100 contract phone with a $300 contract phone? Also, not jealous about the devices you have and have had as well as on your nuts about it, as it was a simple statement, that was a nervous assumption on your own, because you're in a corner defending yourself. I'm having fun feeding you as well, due to you being an obvious troll since you've provided nothing informative by making this topic.
Ye best start believin' in troll threads... Yer in one.

I have the Note 2 and the OG and I have to say the Note 2 is not as nice as the OG.
Only plus side is that it will have much more development support.
LG Optimus G E971
I just sold it, that's it I got tired of waiting for the devs's this phone is top, but will never get support because of LG stupid way of handling advertisements.
They make the phone and its like they don't want to sell it. Stupid LG will never buy form them.

That's why I still have my SGS2. I get to flash like crazy when I get the itch, plus, have an awesome backup in case something happens to this.

Similar here. I have my Galaxy Nexus as a backup.

On my fourth M8 phone.

Dealing with AT&T has been a pain. The first three devices had a flaw or the other.
1. 1st device had scuffs and scratches and a fully sunken in volume rocker. I'd had to force my fingernail into the volume rocker housing to trigger a response.
2. 2nd one kept rebooting on itself and would show me an exclamation point.
3. 3rd one wouldnt charge past 95% and the speaker grill was raised and wasn't flush with the device.
If anyone has to exchange more than once AT&T will give you a hard time about it, but you reiterate to them and tell them clearly that the device was DOA out of box and/or defective.
This 4th one has been good so far. Crossing my fingers that this one is perfect. Once again I'm disappointed that HTC's device is a beauty, but the quality control has been atrocious. Wonder if it is a batch issue.

Pretty much +1
So that explains why my M8 is on back order lol just kidding!!! Hope you get one that doesn't have problems!
Benefit of the doubt: You're on the losing end of a statistical improbability
Caveat: If you are specifically looking for imperfections you will find them
Hope the next one fits your expectations, spending $650 definitely calls for that
ha just noticed the corners of the screen on mine aren't completely flush with the body. ordered my dev edition from htc.
no biggie in my mind. glad you got it sorted, op.
mine is flawless.
Picked up mine at local att store and it looks great
Mine is very good condition. No issues

My question is, how are people getting unflush speaker grills when there not a separate peice, unless there talking about the whole thing with the speaker holes not being flush.

My first m8 also had an unflush top speaker grill on the right side. It was literally too long to fit on the space provided, but my 2nd is flawless and I am enamored with it.

All three of them had pretty much unacceptable issues. Especially if its a serious hardware issue, the battery doesnt work, etc. If you're paying premium buck for something then you expect it to come out of the box looking and working like a premium device. Im talking strictly out of the box without user error or damage coming into play. I'm not the only one, look at the links i posted.

Yea the videos arent mine, two youtube techies that posted videos of their experience. No need to be a prick, you cared enough and took time to comment on my original post, so I was just responding to you. "Smfh"
Yeah I felt bad for you. 8 hours and not a single reply..
Besides I just said what everyone else was thinking when they read this terrible thread.
In can't wait to get my s5 so I can trade in for the m8. I messed up and jumped on s5 pre-order train not realizing biggest mistake off my life. Lol. Hope its clean. Good luck on your last replacement.

I should edit that to "my biggest tech mistake of my life" LOL. More meant to be of my modding xda ways. I love the phone, hate that they are locking them down. Dont want to wait for a work around. If the HTC was locked I would be stickign with this but now you can unlock the m8 easily I think I have to trade up. I will try both in the store also, if I hate the HTC I wont get it. But for some reason I think Im going to love that metal chassis.
