You're running the new 1.29.401.13 or later firmware? That's supposed to help. You can't be running a custom kernel either; you have to be running stock kernel (for now) to get the touch improvements until HTC releases what was missing from the last source update. If you are already running the latest 1.29 on stock kernel, there's nothing else that can be done at this point, short of trying a different brand of protector. Based on the comments I've been reading it seems as though some screen protectors are much better than others at passing through the human finger capacitance to the buttons. It would appear that the plastic material that some companies are using is interfering with the capacitive sensing of the somewhat insensitive buttons on the One.
Will I'm completely stock so I'm on 1.27
1.29 isn't available for me apparently because my phone says there's no updates available.

I'm using the Spigen ultra colored too, and I've got fmno problems at all. Concider returning it if you haven't got the 1.29 update or wait untill HTC releases next version of android or new update (maybe around late june?)
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Was having the same problem with the Spigen Ultra Crystal until I rooted and updated to a ROM (Android Revolution) with the 1.29 update. With the update the capacitive buttons are perfect.
You might have to just wait it out until you have the official 1.29 update.

Sgp ultra crystal and fosman both made my keys pretty much useless...then I bought "amfilm" invisible on Amazon and the keys haven't given any trouble at all since, they work every time I hit them. Some reviewers for the amfilm are saying the same thing, that their keys work great since switching screen protectors. The amfilm are pretty much exactly like the sgp, only they cost way less and you get 3 for 2.99. But "techmatte", the seller for the amfilm, has a coupon code on the page for the screen protectors that will give you $2 off, so you'll only pay .99 cents for a 3 pack. Worth a shot.
Here's the coupon code:

I just edited my post with the link and code for the $2 off....don't let the price fool ya, they are awesome! You can't even tell you have a screen protector on, it's invisible, and it feels just like the glass, your finger glides smoothly.
Oh, and they fit the screen perfect! The seller recently revised them, before they were a little short, about 1mm on the sides, now they are edge to edge. And they have a lifetime warranty!

Yeah I've heard the same thing, that the update fixes the issue. Sprint has their update rolling out now so I'm going to check out their forums, if they have one, and see what people are saying about it and whether it fixed it.

Omg. The experience is so different without a protector. I just checked my amazon and the order was actually 20 bucks so I will return them.
Also. The ultra crystals didn't fit all the way either. You can really notice these protectors because of where the swipe down notification bar is.

There are actually two models, one with anti-glare and anti-fingerprint, and one clear. I'm wondering if some people wrote the reviews on the wrong ones.

I returned my ZAGG within the 45 day period to get this thinking it would not have the orange peel (which it doesn't) and thought the anti fingerprint would be nice but this thing shows all fingerprints! And when you do get smudges.. Which is all the time.. It's nearly impossible to get them off! It just spreads the oil/fingerprints around..
So disappointed!

That's what I see on the page.
Why does everyone expect a screen protector to be the savior of common problems of a screen? If you're getting a crystal clear dry application screen protector, expect it to attract fingerprints regardless if it's oleophobic. The only way around this is to get an anti-glare/anti-fingerprint screen. Yes there is a trade off but it goes both ways.
Crystal clear - keeps the quality of the screen but smudges and attracts fingerprints like crazy.
Anti-glare - gives you a grainy display but gets rid of the fingerprints.
I just got an email for these today and I'm thinking about ordering one. What do you guys think? anyone else gonna get it?
Better then the zagg hd? Didn't think it could get better....

Not quite sure why everyone hates zagg. I'm quite fond of their products. I had an invisible shield on my S2 for the entire life of the phone and it was great.

I went through 3 zaggs with my wife's iPod and 2 for my old blackberry. Then I tried one with my s3 and just another disappointment. Needless to say all our devices are zagg free. There is no way that im that unlucky to get all defects. So my opinion is that they are very low quality and shouldn't charge as much as they do for their inferior products. My blackberry has a $5 screen protector that lasted 3 years and is still on there. Currently my s3 is naked until the revised specter comes out.

Just picked one up at Best Buy for $35 and this thing is pretty thick! It's so thick it sits higher than the home button. Smooth as butter. I'm still waiting for it to completely dry but I don't think it's as clear as the Zagg HD. Makes the screen look kind of grainy. Oh well, I still like it. Definitely not going to test its durability like it was in the iphone video.

Hi,
We were informed by HTC that they have fixed home button and back button issues with their latest software upgrade which came out on 29th. If you have upgraded your phone already we were wondering whether you will be happy to test glass on your HTC device again for free?

These aren't a bad option. I have use them since the Sensation with no complaints, only problem I ever had was with the Note 2's S-Pen leaving trails on the protector.
I personally buy the 10x $1.79 screenies and wet apply them. Come out great and it's not big deal to replace them.

first off i dont blame anyone for using a screen protector with the prices of some of these phones today.
but personally i stopped using screen protectors all together,it came to me one day as i was looking at my phone and seeing all the scratches on the screen protector,i was like why do i pay $25 for a screen protector so i dont get scratches on my screen and in reality all it does is make my view look scratched easier and never get to fully enjoy my shiny new screen.i understand that you can just keep replacing them and it can keep your screen looking new right up to the end of your contract but at that time it will not matter to me as i will be getting a new phone anyways and can care less about if it has any scratches when bestbuy gives me $8 of credit for the trade in lol.
also i must say these newer glasses they are using on there screens are impressive i stopped using screen protectors when i got my S3, and after using it for a few days shy of a year i still had 0 scratches but was always careful to not put it in my pocket with my keys and all that.i just got my S4 and plan to do the same with this one and from what i read this one has even better glass,while i dont think my sprint mogul would have lasted a week without screen protection back in the day these current phones really dont seem to need them.
but to put in my 2¢ i believe i was using screen protectors made by 3M, im sure they where not the best but they worked pretty good for about $15 each.

but personally i stopped using screen protectors all together,it came to me one day as i was looking at my phone and seeing all the scratches on the screen protector,i was like why do i pay $25 for a screen protector so i dont get scratches on my screen and in reality all it does is make my view look scratched easier and never get to fully enjoy my shiny new screen.i understand that you can just keep replacing them and it can keep your screen looking new right up to the end of your contract but at that time it will not matter to me as i will be getting a new phone anyways and can care less about if it has any scratches when bestbuy gives me $8 of credit for the trade in lol.
also i must say these newer glasses they are using on there screens are impressive i stopped using screen protectors when i got my S3, and after using it for a few days shy of a year i still had 0 scratches but was always careful to not put it in my pocket with my keys and all that.i just got my S4 and plan to do the same with this one and from what i read this one has even better glass,while i dont think my sprint mogul would have lasted a week without screen protection back in the day these current phones really dont seem to need them.
but to put in my 2¢ i believe i was using screen protectors made by 3M, im sure they where not the best but they worked pretty good for about $15 each.

It's the first glass one I've ever tried, and I love it. I got it directly from Spigen at spigen.com. They have a lower-cost replacement plan in case you break it, so I thought it would be good to buy direct in case I ever need to use that.
The Glas.TR was $35 through Amazon IIRC, not a cheap screen protector, but easy enough application, and smooth as the "naked" screen
The generic tmobile screen protector is pretty good.

So I got the blue HTC one and decided I wanted to get a clear case instead of using my uag case cause of how sweet the color looks...I was looking to get the poetic atmosphere case, but can't seem to find them anywhere...were they discontinued? I know there were issues of them falling apart but the one I had on my old gs4 is still going strong...or can anyone recommend another clear hard type polycarbonate case with decent protection? Thanks guys

You can get one from a seller on amazon at this link. I'm pretty sure I've gotten stuff from them before.

Other than that link and ebay, I don't really see anything either. Shame, really, I liked those cases. Hope they revise the design and come back soon.
Yeah all I see is used one on amazon...there's on on eBay but it's going for a lot imo...poetic doesn't even have them listed on their website...maybe they had too many problems with them breaking.... Oh well gotta find another one I guess

Well there was one at that link and I don't think it was used, however it's gone now. lol. Good luck finding something new. I know its not really the same at all, but the seidio active is a great case. I just got one myself. If it's not too bulky for you (and it's really pretty thin, much thinner than any other dual layer case I've ever had), it seems to offer a good bit of protection and the kickstand is nice.
As far as clear ones go, I haven't really heard of any that are nice and clear and stay that way. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be either not actually clear, yellow with age, or both.
I wouldn't recommend them anyways, mine felt apart within less than a month. I then returned it and whilst I was waiting for my refund my phone fell out my pocket and the screen cracked :crying:
I ordered the KaysCase clear case for my blue HTC One from Amazon. It's inexpensive and has good reviews.

Workmanship on The Atmosphere was awful, they pretended to have a quality product like so many other companies. I would paid more for one that actually was well made.
poetic atmosphere case for HTC one
Hi
I checked it on amazon but its not available...but the reviews over there are quite in the favor of this atmosphere case...so just wondering to go for it
I am using this. Griffin back less case (bumper)

Thanks for the suggestion guys.... I don't really want to bumper case only because I'm afraid the blue the scratch easily like the black one does...I'll just keep looking...

I am sad to see it isn't available any more, I am not surprised though given the amount of issues they had with it. My Atmosphere (white) lasted about a month and then started peeling - it sounds like I had one that lasted longer than most too. It also started getting discolored very quickly and couldn't be cleaned. The other colors probably didn't have that problem.
A couple alternative hybrid hard/soft cases that have good reviews here are the Supcase and the Basal - they both have clear backs but the sides are solid. White, black and some other colors are available.
My Supcase is starting to show a little dirt that I haven't been able to clean off completely, but i have been using it for almost 3 months and it is white, so not too much of a problem for me since I expected some discoloration. I liked the frosted back of the Atmosphere because it didn't show scratches like the clear/smooth back of my Supcase, but at least the Supcase hasn't failed.
Yeah I was gunna try the supcase and see how that worked for me...sounds like my best option atm...now what screen protector lol...

Well I just got official word that they didn't indeed discontinue the atmosphere case for the HTC One due to manufacturing issues

Supcase scratched as hell. Believe me u will end getting the griffin bumper. The phone is so pretty to be hidden in ugly bulky case.

Wtf they stopped making them? I loved the case and mine has held up well so far.
What about the 3 year warranty though ? They still going to honor it?

My guess is that they have a stock of them available for returns, when that runs out they will probably offer a refund or a different case. It really was a great looking case, but way too many problems.
I messaged poetic on their site and they say it's discontinued. I'm sure it's workmanship. I had one before and sold the phone and recently purchased the phone again. Even with the small flaws it was a great case and one of the best looking ones for the HTC one.
Considering their warranty and the defect rate of the case (namely the rubber separating from the poly), it's probably makes financial sense to discontinue it. I'm on my second one; great while it lasts, though.

How difficult was the warranty process? What specifically did they want as proof of purchase. I ask because of buying through Amazon
