Develop Bugs

So long One V!

So I went to get my one v replaced and apparently the HTC guys had like 4 more units with defections! HTC themselves said that many pieces were defected and such problems wouldn't be solved till another 2 months or so and they suggested me to get a new device. So here I am with a sensation xe after replacing 2 one v devices! Regardless, I'd still say one v was an awesome lil guy and I'd still recommened..

what was wrong with your one v?

I'm also curious to know the issue. My girlfriend loves her V. Hasn't had any trouble with it.

Sometimes HTC has that happen, I had 3 defective wildfire s when it first came out, so its probaly just a bug, give it a month or two and the phones will be fine

This sounds unlikely to me. If this were true I think it would be all over the internet.
BTW, I've seen nothing wrong with my unit. I'm really enjoying it.

well guys, just cuz it happens to me doesn't mean you all are unlucky
there were no issues with the performance, but bugs with the physical aspects of the phone. Like leakage of light from micro usb, from under the screen beneath the capacitive buttons and also bands of light on the display. Like I said, I replaced the phone 2 times already and the second unit turned out to be even more defected, and it's nearly impossible for me to go get a newer unit every time so yeah
I'm happy with the decision though! loving my XE!
One V is still awesome! THAT PHONE HAS MY RESPECT! \\m//

and yeah another thing was the grip. it would lose signal when held in certain positions! one minute it loses signal, the next minute i keep it on a table by it's own, full strength.

defective ?
i had htc desire and it always reboot whenever it gets overheat. I sent it to service it took 4 months already and i dont know what happens with it .

Just received by HTC One V
It is also defective.
- The screen has a yellow line on the top and the bottom
- The touch screen is not working in certain places.
This sucks. I know atleast one other person with the same problem.

This is not a defect per se but a design decision. I don't notice it when talking but I do on the edge of wifi range. Not seemingly worse than my tablet or laptop.

Or perhaps not as picky given that this is a budget device. I'm quite pleased with it for what I paid. My only complaint is no CWM Recovery yet.
BTW, where I live, the Sensation XP costs $100 more that the One V. My expectations would certainly be higher with that phone.

My device heats a lot during charging. Is that big issue???

i'm not able to really quite explain what i meant by bands of light. you must have checked out the other thread about the yellow spots right? yeah quite similar to those.
i wouldn't say picky, but when htc themselves admit to their customers that they screwed up with some stuff, i'd rather go get something more solid and stable. that's just me though

Heat isn't good for it, but it's common for lith ion batteries to get hot when charging. My Galaxy Tab 8.9 gets pretty hot too. Haven't checked the One V yet.

well i had a bit of heating as well, but not a lot. probably cuz of the body that it would conduct a bit of heat, i guess it's not a big issue unless yours is pretty much sizzling xD

That to me is the only realistic problem, which my phone doesn't have at all.
The light leak is really no big deal. Neither is the signal strength issue. Side-by-side with my Wildfire S the One V always has equal or better signal and I've never dropped a call with the Wildfire here in Cambodia or Thailand. Where you dropping calls?

My earlier unit didn't have it at all but this one did. And the light leak is intensr, u can see it very very clearly, coming from sort of under the screen, even in normal view. I'd post a to show what I really mean but don't have it anymore now..

gsmarena.com posted their review a couple days ago and had quite the opposite experience:
Connectivity suffers no death grip
We tested the phone for death-grip and we didn't find any problems - Wi-Fi signal drops if you completely cover the top plastic panel on the back, but the reception still remains quite strong. Cell signal didn't budge.

I don't notice this either, and as I said before, it's signal reception is better than my Wildfire S so I'm quite happy. The WFS has never dropped a call and I doubt my One V will either.

yeah well like i said, maybe it's just my tough luck, right? hey, don't get me wrong with the issues, i absolutely love the One V!

Hello can someone please help me... Whenever I am calling or disconnecting the phone ... The phone starts blinking with a red background also there are some yellow spots on the screen... Can I get it replaced??

One X Survival Thread

Just thought I'ld post up and let you know that the One X can manage to go under water for a second or two and continue to work, ish!.
Dropped my in water this morning. It came out of the water working, but I could see water mark behind screen.
It then proceeded to freak out and restart/boot loop for an hour or two (and the damn thing would not power down to dry out!).
But after all that, a few hours later having drained 100% of its battery in an hour, now seems quite happy again and the sign of liquid behind screen has gone.
It was touch and go for a bit though.
Dropped my old HD2 in a puddle once and it didnt bat an eyelid. Never did anything odd at all.
Slim

If you do have problems, put it in a bag of rice and tie it then leave it for a few days, completely sucks out all moisture and should be back to normal, if you have fried anything.

Haven't had it happen with my E4GT but I've had it with other phones, pc's, etc. Sometimes it's just dust, sometimes your phone is too hot, etc. Just keep an eye on your temperature to be safe.

I wouldnt call it burnt, I'd say it smells like a new pack of blank CD roms.
Kind of like a bitter/celery smell?!
Lol does that make sense? I have never worried about it.

Burned smell...
I had that problem, i put my phone on charge while having it next to me in bed. It couldn't breath i guess and the battery and phone smelled burned. It works fine but i never leave it on a couch or bed while charging. It is probably due to overheating

Can this be true?

I was browsing Facebook earlier, and as usual half my timeline is full of crap!
When I noticed this, gave it a quick read and realised is was a mobile phone.

Could a mobile phone really do this? I mean, I know its possible but their explanation of it being called whilst charging, could that really blow your phone up?

No. Just...no.

This is how it could end up when you are using cheap charger made in China (with no offense to Chinese people) for £2. It is better to get genuine charger and don't take a risk. Btw, even with sh*tty charger, is it really possible that phone will blow up with THAT power?

Thats what I was thinking, I don't think phones are powerful enough to be a bomb !

I don't know about this story but i read a similar one about a guy who died using a dual sim phone from china.He was using it while it was charging too.I guess it is possible

Wet hands perhaps? It might've been an i-device with those edges made of steel in addition with a cheapo charger with poor soldering and contacts...

Its crap ! Another dumb guy who put his stuff in the oven and made some great looking pictures ! This will not happen to a phone......if something is going wrong its in the main charger that's stuck in the outlet. It will melt because it gets too hot maybe. And then it should make electrical circuit fall out in the main power supply in the house.
If that doesn't happen it says more about the security in the electric fusebox of the house then the crappy charger

Agreed bull****.
Firstly 5volts @ 1-2 amps is certainly not going to kill you.
Any respectable wall charger / home is going to have a 3amp fuse / circuit breaker to prevent this kind of thing.
To get that kind of damage you are not only going to need a voltage failure 240v (UK) to handset. But more likely an electricity grid neutral failure sending probably over 1000v to the phone. And if that was to happen i would be more worried about everything electronic in the house blowing up than answering a call

Why would he think of doing that tho?
"Oh, I'll put my stuff in the oven, and use that picture of my hand and pretend my phone blew up"?
That just doesn't make sense to me.
But I also agree that some serious stuff must have gone wrong for that to happen.

Hi Guys
Although very uncommon and unusal this kind of thing can happen with some mobile phones. Ive worked for the Health and Safety and you would be suprised how many of these types of accidents get reported. It doesnt have to be on charge for this to happen either it can happen during normal usage.

By "these types" do you mean death by phone tazer or just exploded phone.
95% of exploded phone issues will be from catastrophic battery failure. Not electrocution by over current

Perhaps if his parents didnt waste time taking pictures of his hands for facebook before taking him to hospital he would have survived lol load of rubbish.

Whatever,
and don't forget with an even cheaper charger let s say 50 cents you can even reproduce an atomic blast,
for the health and secure guy, i believe that a lot of person are having explosion like this, just one thing people
would tell everything to get money back from insurance or other establishment and sadly the more people
use the same story the more i begins to be true, like ghosts goblins or pink elephants. .......
:cyclops:

It a bull**** story , if the guy is dead who's hand is this ? Nigerian scam if you ask me

Never seen an exploding phone, but charger yes...
I cant say I have seen any exploding phones in "real life" but I have however seen a charger explode. I plugged it in, hooked up my phone, sat down across the room and then boom! It exploded, tripped all the power but thankfully didn't nuke my phone. I wouldn't say it's impossible, also I wouldn't really say it was the phone exploding, but I do think the battery may have some potential to cause some wicked damage...
Take a look here, not quite the same as the fb stuff but still worth a look?

You realize 104 F is not hot... at all.....
1) Laptops and have had electronic components built to withstand up to 100 CELSIUS for years. I'm sure your phone can handle 40.
2) If you can't talk on the phone because a little warmth is too much for your sensitive skin move the **** to Alaska because 104 is not hot by any stretch of the imagination.
3) My phone has no lag.... at all, so I don't know what you're speaking of. I can play NFS:MW for an hour, switch to Eufloria HD for another, then hit up GTA:VC for an hour with absolutely no problems. I can also scroll through the drawer faster than my S3 could respond, so it is much more responsive. Maybe you got a defective unit or you messed it up somewhere rooting or flashing roms or poking around where you shouldn't have... I mean based just by your grammar you're not that smart of a person, so I'd say user error is MUCH more likely.
4) If by the blur you mean the purple when you're in the settings, well yes. You've got me there. That is a minor bug that needs to be addressed, and will. The phone has been out for like 11 days bro, give them a ****ing minute.
5) No, sir, your Note 2 is not faster. Yes, it has a larger screen and slightly better battery life, but faster? No. Run a CPU and GPU benchmark and try to tell me its faster.
Give them some time to work out the kinks in the programming. This is how electronics work, nothing is ever going to be perfect when its being produced by the millions on a short time frame with 6 different versions for different countries with different hardware and 10000 different carriers trying to poke around and make their own adjustments to the software.
TL;DR: Stop crying, you're embarrassing yourself.

Then you're telling me oh download an app to fix the screen issues -.- , you guys may think this is over the top i don't think so when you buy something so expensive and it works so iffy, don't get me started on Shealth love it but keep restarting your steps all the time ... might as well call it Srestart ..... oh samsung i love you but you're killing me with this phone. I'm getting a replacement on monday I'll let you guys know how that one is hope its 100X better....

No, 104F is not too hot for a phone to hit while charging and being used. You have heat from the battery while charging and heat from the processor while using, add any case you might have put on there trapping the heat and it is still well withing acceptable parameters. In Florida ambient temperature reaches that through most of the summer.
And if this thread continues to be a flame/troll fest it will be closed.

104° F is actually cool for a phone th that's charging and in a call. If the device is lagging out on you just return it if a reset doesn't fix the issue.

I actually had this same issue on a white 16gb s4. Phone was powered off while charging over night. Upon powering it on the internal thermometer also read 104F. I suspect it was much hotter, given I have hot spots on my laptop case that reach that temp as verified by a thermal camera. This felt much hotter, though I didn't have the tools on hand to verify.

I've heard a few people complain about their devices getting too hot, but most of them have had the white version. Is that what you guys have had? I have the black one and haven't experienced this issue at all. It does get a little warm when charging, but other than that, no issues here

Im shocked that no one has asked this. But...

Well I'm in Florida so whenever I'm inside it's like a warming pad against the AC. When I'm outside I don't care because it's not getting any hotter than the air already is. Sound logic.
You do realize I was being sarcastic right? Regardless, that's neither here nor there. You can't make a thread and be like "Damn samsung my phone hits 104 F when I'm charging and talking on the phone!!!!111oneone"
That's not hot. Especially for a phone that's charging while doing anything, or using mobile data in any way, or playing games. When it hit's 60-70 celsius start complaining about overheating problems/return it. When your phone hits 100 degrees Celsius start worrying about the internals frying. Anything less than that stop complaining. It's a ****ing quad core computer that fits in your hand and is slimmer than a BIC lighter. Of course it's going to get warm. If you didn't realize that when you bought it you shouldn't be paying 650 bucks for anything because you're too stupid to have 650 bucks to spend.
For the last time, that's not hot at all. This thread is pointless. I'm done with it.
