Hey guys,
I made a video review of the wood skin for our HTC One. Furthermore it shows you an alternate way of applying the skin.
This skin shown in the first video is from dbrand.com and the one in the second from smartskins:
Please let me know what you think about it!
Cheers
The skin looks really nice on the black phone. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and for the review, man.
A little piece of advice: only make your videos as long they actually need to be. Half an hour is too long for a phone skin. This is just inefficient. What kind of german are you? ) and stop looking so scared for your life in these videos. You're among friends here. Try to keep that in mind.

How on earth did you manage to talk about a skin for 27 minutes?! i watched about 3 minutes give or take. Looks nice though, I just ordered the wood skin from Dbrand with black leather tops and bottoms. OP how long did it take for delivery?
Thanks for your feedback. I have been shocked about the length after finishing editing, too. I'm sorry...
What do you mean with "looking scared"?
I'm from Bavaria, nearby Nuremberg. @anfozy: It took about one week to arrive at my home in Germany.

I mean you seem shy and serious and " stumble " when you speak. Like you're talking to your crush in 5th grade.
Just try imagining you're discussing with your best friend or even have him stand behind the camera when you film and talk as if you're explaining it to him. These sort of things should ideally seem like you're talking to an old friend, not a live theater audience.
Hope this makes sense, mate.

Dude, I'm sorry. Don't wanna be disrespectfull but this vid is really bad, you'd better be with a written review + some photos.
26 mins, for a skin? Really? Think about it this way, take a look at it yourself, the full vid, not skipping it and after you've watched it, ask yourself this:
Did I just wasted 26 mins of my life? Yeah, I kinda did!
Here you go, I'd say this guy is pretty good, altough sometimes he speaks continuously without any break.
very nice skin

Yea, you're a bit harsh but you have a point.
I guess a few bullet points would be:
1. Speak naturally and confident.
2. Be factual and argumentativ (this product does this and has this, but it doesn't do this, it comes in this color, it costs this much, etc) and you can add your personal opinion (it feels cheap, it feels premium, overall it is/isn't enjoyable, etc).
3. Make it a maximum of 5 minutes long (even 8-10 if you have a lot to cover and show real world "test drives").
4. Try to cover things that are/could be useful/popular and that are not covered too well by others (so ar not to compete with too many online videos). (In this regard i think you did well here, tbh. )
Good luck and have fun.

@rusteh: It's absolutely okay, I prefer saying things direct. Now I'm sure that it makes absolutely no sense to have this video lasting for 27 mins.
@AdrianE46: Thank you for this great list of improvements, I will really try to implement that in my upcoming video(s).
@all: In the next days/weeks I will get some skins from "smartskins" (HTC One and MacBook Pro). I will try use your feedback and clues as much as I can. Thank you again for your honest opinions. I will keep you updated (if you still have nerves for watching a second SHORTER video made by me ).
Hi,
I made a second skin video. This time the skins are from smartskins and I tried to use some of your advises (e.g. this video has only half the length of the first).
Please let me know again, what you think of this new try
Cheers!

so excited that i have got my rhodium i decided to start a thread so people who share my excitement when they 1st got theirs can post! hope the moderator don't close me down.................
it is beautiful and so slim considering what is under the hood! been trying that dual speakerphone system and it works well. tried using in noisy environment and it auto fades out surrounding noise so you can hear what other person is saying! still cant stop the wind blowing into speakers though!
interesting to see what battery life will be on this thing as that could be its achiles heel! added coreplayer via cab and it works well. videos look stunning! the tilt screen is much stiffer so it don't flop about like on my old kaiser/tilt. used to think the screen on my kaiser would fall off at anytime! it would be nice if people posted the their initial feelings of the device wen 1st received and thoughts after a few days of use. i will be!
thanks all

yeah i know that but cheers for pointing out. getting its ass kicked today to see how it holds up after 1st charging cycle. gave it overnight charge - 12hrs. really hope battery holds up as this could be the only thing that could be its undoing. however saying that, when all the cooks start building rhodium roms etc i am sure there will be things in place to aid battery life!
few other things
no spare stylus. searched whole box and nothing.................
slide out mechanism is a bit stiff for my liking but like the sturdier feel to tilt screen. not sure bout purple background and do like the t-mobile look. that will be my 1st enhancement changing clocks and penguin to t-mobile rhodium look! will post screenshots of how it looks once done! very quick scrolling and smooth accross tabs. mem usage 50% as standard. music playback is more than suitable and in my opinion quite good! FINGERPRINT magnet my god! ugh hate that but will have to live with it! screen protector in box but i can never apply without getting bubbles underneath! big fingers/hands. i find tilt suitable enough for watching vids from my desk or table at home! can't wait to see WM6.5 on this machine
edit: still have the issue where i have to untick proxy in connections to get certain web apps working on t-mobile. for example messenger! not a big prob and doesn't slow down connection speed!

no worries! posted a few more observations above. must have been typing at same time as you!
finger menu is there and almost instant. synced my hotmail and gmail accounts with no issues. camera is 3 mgp and very adequate in good light conditions. that high res screen makes all the difference. video recording is awesome dude, best performance on any HTC deivice IMHO! call quality is great and very crisp. tv out is there but alas no cable and haven't searched to see if available yet!
multemidia
opera 9.5 there and works well but no flash support. IE is there but older version not new version. flash i however supported in IE. will update IE with cab i have for new version. been bashing since morning from bout 8.30am and till 3 bars left in battery.
So,
i've been asked to do my Test in English too. Yesterday I did a lot in German on http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_one_x_forum/244455-htc_one_x_live_test.html
-> Now i gonna do some in English, but plz keep in mind, my English isn't that good
Cause its gonna be a "Live Test" I'll add new Videos whole day. U can always post questions and i gonna try to answer them.
Questions about battery : I cant anser them. Yesterday battery was never charged full. Today is first day with 100% battery. Due to presentation and tests, there will be no chance to evaluate a Reallife battery statement.
Let's go

I know this has been asked a lot, but is there any chance you can confirm USB OTG host mode to connect thumb drives...the one thing that still is a bit iffy...
My cable shpuld arrive today. I gonna do an instant test !!!
black!!!! thanks man
Second video is being progressed i guess?
Glad i didn't choose the white one.
Great videos! I need mine badly!!!!!!
I think it's clear that both colours are great in their own way.
Personally I'm going for white, but wouldn't be disappointed at all with the darker version. (grey, black)
What is clear - this is a damn Sexy phone, I really want mine sent & delivered so I see it with my own eyes.
Ive:
Never owned HTC
Never used sense
Never owned a curved phone
Never owned a white phone
Never had hd phone screen
Never used beats
Never had a notification light
Never used dropbox
.... So to say this will be a new experience for me, truly is an understatement!
Big thank you to all the guys creating videos to help my impatience! - its making the waiting just a little bit more bearable.

Nex Video already uploading. May take some time to be displayed.
@mushweed
I also asked this in the YT comments, but could you maybe compare the resolution of a picture taken while recording and one taken while playing the same recorded video?
You say in the video the speaker is not very loud but is it louder than classic HTC phones including Sensation? How do you compare the loudspeaker to other devices?
Can you please try the screen under sunlight?
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum neuen Handy!
@mushweed : Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum neuen Handy! Thanks so very much for the insightful video's unboxing the One X, the quick review of the browser & for comparing the One X with the Gnote & the Galaxy SL-Very apt comparison indeed! In the second video, you mentioned that you were facing issues with the Wifi & you were referring to an update-is this specific to the One X or were you facing challenges with the Wifi connection @ home in general?
I would be extremely grateful if you could kindly check on the following for me:
1. What is the default mp size of the phone saved while recording video's and can one change it via settings for a 8mp shot?
2. After reading the warranty terms & conditions, what does it say about repairs/replacement of the Once X during the warranty period? Do you see anyway that the handset could be opened for repairs?? You did mention in the video there was no space between the screen and the body while describing how the screen curves over the rest of the body, so I guess the chances of repairs by opening the handset are near to none!
3.Also, can you please upload a copy of the warranty terms & conditions-I've been wanting to pre-order this device but have held back due to the unibody design & I can't help but wonder about HTC's SOP regarding repairs & replacement for the One X during warranty and the "non-repairable" post warranty dilemma to avoid owning an expensive paper weight in case the hardware does need help after the warranty is exhausted. I would be highly obliged if you could check with your local HTC Customer Service desk about the same as the tech support in my country have no clue about it yet!
4. About the scree-in your opinion, especially after playing around with the screen encased in Gorilla glass(2), do you feel the need for covering it with a screen-guard? (I 'm aware there's a separate thread on this forum raising this question but I found it apt & convenient to ask mushweed here instead, along with my other queries)
5. Can you also compare the GPS capabilities of the One X in comparison to the Gnote. Does the One X support GLONASS like the Gnote?
I'm looking forward to more video reviews from you and hope that you will also showcase the loud speaker quality of the One X & how the beats equalizer setting makes a difference to the default sound on the speaker & on the default headphones. I also await your feedback about USB OTG function, as inquired by other members and your feedback about battery life.
Vielen Danke.. Schuß!
Will answer all your qestions as soon as the OTG and HDMI Cable arrived !!
Truly excellent videos, you've done great work here.
The multitouch thing is very strange - my only guess is that the software is limiting the touch events to two. For some reason. Since three finger swipe works. Maybe BECAUSE they don't want you to accidentally launch the HD Media Link? I don't know.
Definitely curious as to what would happen in an ASOP rom...
i've got around 700+ records with mp3 and flac copies of all of them on my computer. the flac files take more than 26 GB, but i have found that i am not happy with smartphone music quality. i don't believe beats audio eq will fix that, so i'm ready to carry both a phone and music player. the only thing that will take up a lot of space on the phone for me will be 1080p videos of concerts/DJs. if i was at a 3 day festival, then it's possible i would run out of space. i can't use the dropbox feature because i have a 2 GB limit on ATT. thanks for the videos! i don't know what color i want, but i have almost 2 weeks to decide.

this isn't what you asked, but i heard a rep in a video say it was 8mp standalone and 5mp from a video.
Not that I care what others think, but is anyone else sick of hearing the same "I could never carry around something that big" reaction from people. Everytime someone I know sees my phone for the first time I feel like I immediately have to defend it by showing them how it still fits perfectly in my pockets and how other phones are too small for me. Its mostly iphone users. I bet if they spent a couple days using my phone they would probably never go back to their small "squint to read on" screen.
Yeah, but after I show them the bells and whistles, and show them how great browsing the Web is our watching a video, they usually go...Wow...that is nice! I don't have to squint to see the screen. And that is why I got it!
Its just the green eyed monster talking. Ignore it.

Seriously, people who say that are just jealous. A genuine reaction is like... look how big it is, makes mine look small, etc.
Everyone I work with has an iphony. Once they realized how Superior my phone is over theirs they left me alone, lol.. However there is still one fool who now likes to say that I carry a "flat screen". His comment is so pathetic it speaks for itself. I constantly show YouTube and HD clips to everyone I work with now.. They secretly Love my Phone. I also let them know that I have Truly unlimited everything from T-Mobile for $77 a month. Lmao!
I show them the quadrant scores and giggle at their reaction. ^^.
I say that at least I've got a phone and a tablet. It is the best of both worlds in one device.
I love it.

My standard answer is: look isn't that cool, my screen is bigger than your whole phone, so much more viewing area.
I get this a lot too but the size just feels normal to me now, I can't really use anything smaller(that's what she said). My ex had an iPhone 4 & it felt like a toy, I couldn't even type on it. I honestly wonder how people use anything smaller than 4.3 inches anymore. Boy, this is just one big long **** joke, huh >.<
I couldnt agree with this more
I rarely get that now. When I told people I was getting it they said that. But after I shoeed them an HD video, they all wanted one. Until I told them how much it costs.

i agree with all the pluses everyone has pointed out. after i explain to people that its better than lugging around a tablet, you dont have to squint, after showing them the multitasking split screen and bells and whistles they leave impressed. the main question or comment i get is "its so big it looks silly holding it up to your ear" to which i point out that i never ever even with a smaller screened phone held it up to my ear and that i always use a good bluetooth headset, so that point is moot for me.
I have coarse beard hair and sometimes oily skin which ruined my earlier phones screens so its been bluetooth all the way. :laugh:
This phone draws a lot of attention its way and it's always been good attention. Everyone wants to see it or hold it and every single time that person wants to know where to get one and how much.

My uncle is exactly like that. He said the phone is too big for him and that he can't fit it in is girly pants. He went ahead and bought an iphone 5. Started showing it off to me saying look how small and perfect it is. He then said that the screen resolution is so clear that when he watches youtube the video looks bigger..... buwahahaha! I know, I know. Then I accidently dropped my Note 2 on top of his iphone 5 and crushed it to bits. :highfive:
I think of it as the worlds smallest tablet, not the worlds largest phone.

I've done extensive testing and comparisons between phones and found the following issues with the HTC 10:
- Above average operating temperatures (37-42c)
- Weak Wifi Reception
The above average temp is because of full metallic construction and the position of the cpu on the back of the phone, just under the aluminum plate, therefore, the heat radiation is much faster (you will feel it like heating up compared to plastic phones).
I have not noticed any issue with wifi.
Things I really dislike about my HTC 10:
- Average Operating Temperature between 37-42c (gets warm way to quickly)
- Camera is average at best
- Power Button is flimsy
- laggy as hell, especially typing with Swiftkey is nearly impossible!!!!
I tried the following phones extensively in the last 2 months:
- Nexus 6P
- S7 Regular
- S7 Edge
- Nexsus 5x
Out of them all I liked the S7 regular the best so far.
I am not sure if I am going to keep the HTC 10. Not too impressed...
Anyone else having the same issues?
My phone isn't laggy at all. Sounds like maybe you got a lemon. Only thing is the battery life hasn't impressed me. It's not bad just not as good as I had hoped.

Please keep us updated. I think I am speaking for all of us here when I say that until you are happy with whichever phone choice you decide on, none of us will be able to sleep.
I don't mind what time of the day (or night) it is. Just email me or call my direct line. I will make sure everyone else knows within moments of receiving your update.
This is heart-breaking.
Build construction better than the 6P, better wifi and signal reception (6P was absolutely horrid) and battery life on the 10 imo is also leaps and bounds better than the 6P. Really couldn't be happier with this phone.

Please keep us updated. I think I am speaking for all of us here when I say that until you are happy with whichever phone choice you decide on, none of us will be able to sleep.
I don't mind what time of the day (or night) it is. Just email me or call my direct line. I will make sure everyone else knows within moments of receiving your update.
This is heart-breaking.

Ahahahahaha, I am just so sad and astonished that half of you asperger syndrome ridden geeks don't even get a good bit of sarcasm.
nobnut, the donation is real tho; for the sake of staying original but this is just hopeless.
Anyway, I wasn't trying to rant about the 10; just asking if someone else is having the same issues. Other than that, I had really high expectations for the 10 as i returned all other devices. I was really happy to make the jump away from samsung.
Heat. Only when I'm charging? I don't play games though. Just casual browsing and facebook. And music.
Lagging? Through the whole UI?
I get no lag, at all. I've also typed this with swift just to try it out.
Camera, definitely not as good as the S7. I had the S7E for two months. Took the best pics. But this one isn't a slouch. Just requires a lot of adjustments when wanting to take a good shot (typical HTC)

my issue with my HTC 10 was the subtle backlight bleed all around the panel's frame.
I loved the phone, up until noticing said effect on a green background. It wasn't the same as a light leak on a dark screen - this, I noticed on a green.
It was like the screen's borders where lighter in hue up to half a centimeter in width - I know it's too much, and I know I have OCD with such things, but for me was super distracting
Other than that, I loved everything about the device - camera, layout, colour reproduction, speed, sound. Everything

The above average temp is because of full metallic construction and the position of the cpu on the back of the phone, just under the aluminum plate, therefore, the heat radiation is much faster (you will feel it like heating up compared to plastic phones).
I have not noticed any issue with wifi.

yup its because of the aluminum body, was the same with the m9. there was a mod to take the device apart and apply thermal paste if you search the m9 forums. its risky but i did it before, helped alot. would for sure void warranty.

nobnut, I am so delighted that such caring and compassionate individuals are part of the XDA community.
After all, that is what makes this board such a great place for the fringe and disillusioned individuals (such as me) who are crying for attention.
Who in the wold can undestand the pain and suffering that comes with a less than perfect smartphone? Your message filled me with hope.....
Now, may I please have your full contact details to make use for your generous and selfless offer?
Thank you so much!

You guys are hilarious love xda rofl
Has anyone tested the YouTube uploading on the HTC 10?
Here's what I've noticed:
* if I shoot a video in landscape mode, all is good and the video is updated correctly, in landscape mode - as expected
* if I shoot a video in portrait mode, the video uploads as a landscape video
I've tried different camera apps with the same result.

Oh!
I love you. However, I feel like a fraud. I must admit now to a rare genetic condition called 'advertisements suck disease'. As such, I have been a long time proponent of blocking all ads. I never knew therefore that XDA pushed them on us.
I tell you what... I am now making a donation to Doctors Without Borders in order to pay forward your generous act of kindness. I hope it meets with your approval.
In the meantime, let's say a silent prayer for exxi and his problems.
Shabba.
So after being terribly dissapointed by the whole Pixel Drama I tought about giving the HTC 10 another go , I had it for almost two weeks in August but returned it because the edges of my pictures came out very blurry/ soft. Taking pictures of nature was an awful experience, the trees in the edges just looked mushy, maybe I got a bad Batch , thats why I'm asking you guys, do you have the same issue , should I just get the 10 again?

It's to you, I have been extremely satisfied with my 10, especially with the camera. You can always wait for next generation phones since it looks like you have a working phone right now.
We don't get any commission for others buying it. If you returned it, perhaps it's not the one for you.

I don't want to get convinced I just want to know if it's a widespread issue , an issue with early batches or if it's there but people don't care or notice

Edges improved but not as good as S7. Check the Anandtech review.

I am not having blurred edge issue.
I was suffering it from my previous xz5 but not at all with htc10
