Can you guys that have it do me a favor? How's music playback during multitasking? The DROIDX2 has horrible skipping/popping during music playback if you try to do anything else at the same time. I may be upgrading to the razr & want to make sure Moto fixed the issue before I jump into it. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, it's on the x2. Don't know if it's on the tegra2 or the ram.

I've experienced the same rarely with the Atrix on stock rom. I don't think it's tegra related but poorly implemented kernel cause i dont experience such issue on faux123's custom kernel.
I love it, 99% perfect.
Thinner than I thought and a bit wider than the bionic, but feels strong, solid, and light. It is ridiculously thin- almost hard to believe
Screen is FAR better than the bionic, but you can see a bit of jagged edges if you really focus in. it is not an iphone 4 retina, but real world it will prove to be more than adequate.
Motocast is available for mac, downloading off the website now.
Has the motorola bluetooth skip issue when paired with alpine bluetooth in my car (i had the same issue with bionic). Hopefully a new rom/ BT stack (CM?) will fix down the road. Not a biggie.
Call quality: excellent.Best I have ever experienced
Speaker- loud and clear
Email gestures is a cool feature that wasnt in bionic rom. Funny thing is that it only works under the email accounts, not universal inbox view...
Gmail is available in universal inbox with its own gmail logo, yet not all features from gmail app are included in the motorola email app (make sese?).
I do see it getting a bit warm, but so did the bionic (and several other android phones). Its a catch 22: with LTE radio, and such a thin profile with zero heatsink or dissapation, heat is inevitable. You are basically one kevlar membrane away from the heat source. Warm, not hot- but after prolonged heavy use I can see it getting hot.
Smartactions is really cool and intuitive, however I wish locations were based on GPS rather than wifi (on other devices, leaving gps radio on in standby used less juice than leaving wifi in standby, constantly searching.)
I am grasping at straws to find ANY issues with the device. Slight wiggle to power button, I dont like the VZW logo (was able to get it off with a penny on the bionic, this is under the glass). screen might be a little blue/green tint at lowest brightness compared to bionic.
All in all, it is the best device available today. I can see the allure with the Galaxy Nexus, but lack of SD card is a big issue with me, as is the general plasticky feel of samsung phones. The build of this thing is awesome, as there are no real moving parts (aside from power button and volume rockers). I hate creaky phones, this solves it. Hopefully someone will show how to easily remove the battery (i dont have the guts)
I'm very curious about battery life once you guys have some time to work with that part of the device. My one remaining fear is that once fully charged, it's drained out in a short amount of time. There's not a lot of battery under that non-removable back cover, and I'd rather not find myself constantly plugging a charging cable into the thing to keep it alive more so than simply using it.
I'm just about sold on this device, but, I'd like some real world input from the present user base on this subject before I drop the cash.
Thanks!
So I'm more interest in this phone than the Tmobile version. I want the square body and don't need the bigger screen. I intend to unlock it. Don't care much for data cuz I got wifi everywhere.
Anyway, I keep seeing threads with hardware problems and it's discouraging me from buying one. I realized there will be lemons and bad batches but the more threads I see, the less confident I have.
I plan on buying it through craigslist, maybe a new one with all accessories + box (and possibly receipt) to avoid buying blacklisted/stolen ones and have warranty just in case.
did many of you guys have to do warranty exchange on your device? I would love to hear some feedback. Much thanks. Hope to join this forum soon. Getting tire of my vibrant. Haha!
What hardware problems.

If you are worried about hardware issues then buy new. Any hardware issues will occur with the first month. If that's the case then it's easier and faster to get an exchange.
I got mine the first day it came out back in October and never had any issues what so ever.
USB port failed on me.
No other issues unless you count the 2.3.6 update issues (software issue, not hardware).
Bought 2 on launch day. One had USB port failure roughly 6 weeks in. Second original and replacement have been fine.

The main issues you'll encounter are a screen with blotches on it due to SAMOLED screen (all Samsung phones with that screen type have those issues, including the T-mobile variant) and a USB port that is very sensitive.
That means plugging your phone in and not touching it afterwards (other than to unplug it, dope). For whatever reason, Samsung put no cover over this port so it's susceptible to whatever chucklefuckery you subject it to. Other than those two issues, the phone is good, even great.

Thanks for your input, guys. I usually take good care of my phones but I'm afraid of design flaws. I will probably pick one up this coming week. It's a great phone and I know I'm missing out. Can't wait. Thx again.
No hardware problems here...
Defects can affect anyone, and often they're more likely to happen in certain areas. The most likely places you'll have a problem are covered above - but they are not very common.
Remember, if you're on Tmo, no 3G. (Consider a GNex if you're going to be running a non-subsidized phone on Tmo, as I understand it the GNex is one of the first phones to have pentaband HSPA+)
hmmm had the phone since launch and didnt know about the USB thing lol, ive been hard on the USB and it has been perfect... I guess getting squaretrade warranty will give you a peace of mind.
Some people have had a defective USB port that shorted, but not many. Seems to happen fairly early if it happens.
USB ports that just don't work when a cable is plugged in (not charging, intermittent data) can usually be fixed with a new cable. MicroUSB moved the spring contacts (the most failure-prone/wear-prone item) from the device to the cable.
No issues at all for me from the hardware, best phone ever.
I know where your coming from, I was looking at the Nexus when it was released and all the bad publicity it got online kept me from getting it, and now I regret it because it was such a great 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.
Can I exchange it because of the gap?

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.

Can you post a photo of the gap? I'm scared of getting one with more problems though
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 am about to buy this tablet...
But now I see a lot of threats here with many issues...
So now I am a little worried about this tablet instead of excited...
Question:
Is this tablet any good at all, or is it just bad quality all together ?
Would you rather have bought a different tablet, knowing what you know now ?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
Having only had it mine for a week, I've had 0 issues. Build quality seems exceptional on my 32gb WiFi model.
I personnaly tried many tablet, it's just a confort for design and power, it's just the best for me, i was htc addict and now i love Sony
I found the build quality to be very shoddy on the one I got, and I did end up returning it. The backing was coming unstuck, the screen flexed, there was a shadow along the bottom edge of the screen, a dead pixel, erratically sensitive screen, the breaking of Firefox Sync by the OS and these diagonal lines on the screen that really annoyed me.
However, I don't regret being able to try it, and Sony Canada made it very easy for me to return. If I had gotten a non-defective one, I would have been reasonably happy and waited for the Firefox Sync issue to be fixed.
If your excitement still outweighs your misgivings, just make sure wherever you buy it from has a good return policy and, better still, lets you open it up in-store and make sure the more common hardware issues (unsticking back, flexing screen, non-flush port covers) are absent.
Good luck.
i'm a little biased because i got mine with my sony card rewards points (and the 32gb model for 480 dollars worth of rewards points at that), but i'm definitely disappointed in this wifi vs bluetooth issue. no one seems to be able to figure it out and there are tons of people with the issue. basically once a device is connected via bluetooth, the wifi dies. it shows its still connected with a strong signal, but nothing will load. if i had paid cash and didn't have a sony card, i'd probably have returned it by now... which sucks because otherwise i really love the thing.
Very pleased with my model. SGP311.
No build issues, WIFI issues or anywhere else for that matter. Have used several tablets and this is the only one I've stuck with.
One very happy customer - highly recommended.
Has there ever been a device released without issues? Just protect yourself by always buying from a place with a convenient return policy, especially if you're spending this much money. Or buy at a place with the longest return policy (generally 14 days I think), and see how you like it for yourself.

This is the best tablet I have ever had. No regrets. Even though I have had a few wifi issues where it disconnects, it reconnects quickly. Plus it only happens when I am fairly far away from the router.
I ordered mine directly from Sony (a US 312). I've noticed no build issues (much nicer than my Nexus 10 actually) or wifi problems. Rooting was easy, and after freezing the stuff I don't use, I'm getting a solid 10 to 12 hours or use out of it between charges. I'm using the charging doc (to avoid the micro USB port) as well as the Sony case (which is overpriced but still very nice). Best tablet I've used.
Regards,
John Francis
Apart from battery taking really too long to fully recharge (6 hours) I can't complain about this tablet. Everything works as it should. I totally recommend it!
The only problem i am having is my computer will not recognized the tablet what so everrrr
Hi people,
I hope the OP don't mind me jumping aboard his thread with questions on my own.
I'm in the market for a tablet too (my first one) I recently bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 for my wife and I'm thinking about this one for myself.
My only concern is the WiFi issue since I'll buy it in the US but then I'll take it out of the Country so return it would not be possible.
How common is this issue?
I read some people saying it's not the tablet, but the router and setting should be changed while others say that Sony CS told them to return the tablet for an exchange (admiting then that the problem is in their product).
Changing settings on my own router would be possible (if that in fact solves the problem) but what about if you are using other sources like WiFi in public places?
Since I'll be using WiFi more than anything, should I buy this with confidence or should I go for other options? After all I think the major point that draws me to this tablet is the video quality (is it that noticeable compared with other tablets?)
Thanks for any input,

Are you guys buying it from sony site? I got mine from amazon cause sony doesnt have a 1day delivery offer for me..
Amazon is "not that bad" no issues on the box or anything that will make me disappointed.. The only thing that i dont like is that they use a 1A7 type box which is kind of big for the tablets box and instead of bubble wrap its just some kind of paper like thing.. So if you shake the amazon box you can hear thr package inside.. But if we're talking about the tablets packaging, its fine

I don't have the charging issue with mine, or at the very least it isn't as pronounced. I did recently run into this issue with my Note 2 and it was because of the ROM and kernel combo I was running, it wasn't allowing the phone to charge as fast as it would on stock. That may have been the users problem, it may just be he has a crappy battery in his that needs to be replaced. I haven't noticed any big issues with mine, I have had it for a little over a month and a half, except for the screen pressure click that happens when you hold it awkwardly and it causes the screen to flex and your screen will click even though you didn't touch it because its reading the presses coming through from the back. That's because its so thin though.

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.

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.

Speaker volume for both media and speakerphone can be fixed if u r rooted. Its pretty easy. There is a xda thread on how to do this.

Anyone else usb cable go in so snug that it is a pain to pull out? I'm with T-Mobile, I mean its in their so tight I could use it to rappel with as in toss the phone end onto a building ledge and then climb up the cable.
I have the Verizon version and it does fit very snug.

Yes. It actually pulls my BodyGlove case off. LOL I'm on the AT&T variant and I'm guessing the pins will get worn down a bit after a while.
