crack-core, 29 Sep 2012Loving the HTC One S its silm,fast,smart camera is good, battery timing is average,body feels ... moreGreat, Thanks.Yeah I heard about this paint issue before,But I didn't know If it was true.
One thing that is worrying me,Is that the battery is not removable and we don't have access to it.Don't you have any problems with the battery?
Thanks again for replying. :)

Would be a nice phone if not plagued by a VERY SERIOUS BUG
Pros:
- Light, but strong
- Slick and elegant
- Battery ok (with some tweaking it lasts me a fair day with about 3-4 hours screen on time, with stock software it still does 15 hours runtime)
- Good Audio
- PERFECT CAM!!!
- Very good screen
- Fast!
Well, then there is this:
Nice device, but be aware that numerous users are experiencing a SERIOUS ISSUE whenever carrier signal is weak:
The phone will then switch homescreen/multiple screen view on its own in very quick succession, and disable all the capacitive buttons. It will keep doing this until you find a spot where the signal is better (if you're lucky). In the meantime, you will not be able to do anything at all: call, pick-up, use apps, whatever. Basically, you then completely loose control over your phone.
This issue has been reported to HTC by many users SINCE APRIL 2012, but no patch or update has been released yet as to (successfully) address the problem. So keep this in mind if you want to purchase this device... You have been warned.
I also highly doubt there will ever be a software-fix that will adress this adequately as there had already been three attempted fixes which failed to cure most if not all devices.
Various threads on XDA forum are currently discussing this issue, gathering testimonies from hundreds of users and organizing a communication campaign to inform the masses. Don't forget to check them out before you invest in this phone:

Vidya, 24 Sep 2012Hi, is it true that HTC One S config in India is diff frm the one in US and EU?Yes, the one sold in India has a snapdragon s3 1.7GHz processor. Please note that this processor is quite inferior compared to the international one as this processor is.aa generation old. It is NOT worth the 30K they are asking for it.

skhatri, 24 Sep 2012I couldn't access hotmail when I'm using exchange server and these days no more access to andr... moreAndroid store isn't opening possibly because Pakistan has blocked Youtube now a days and some other google features are also blocked in the process possibly including google play(android store). The problem may solve once the ban lifts. Can you tell me what is the chipset of HTC One S in Pakistan? S4 (1.5ghz Krait with adreno 225) or S3(1.7ghz with adreno 220)?

Dave, 22 Sep 2012Plz tell. Buy s. Or. X I would personally advise to go for the ONE S, mate.
It combines portability, performance and durability like no other phone I know. I bought a One S Black European (replacing my old HTC Desire) three months ago and I couldn't be more satisfied. (Be careful with the Asian version, a.k.a. One S C2, though. It is "cursed".)
In case you're considering to buy one, I would also recommend that you get a protective case with rugged edges for it. You'll understand why...

I have been using this phone for a while now and i can say it is one of the best devices i ever used
Just quick info I used HTC One X and Samsung SIII and this phone is nothing to compare to those although these phones have bigger hardware and configurations still this device stands out

I have had everything under the sun and this phone gives me some of the longest battery life I have ever experienced ( besides my 9700 since we all know blackberrys seem to work forever) and I don't really facebook but In the past two years mind you I'm on T-Mobile USA I do everything else on this phone and haven't seen any problems with email integration or anything for that matter. Camera is amazing screen clarity is fantastic and visible in the direct sunlight (being a landscaper that's important) my recent line of phones has been disappointing in many different ways. So I would give this phone a 9/10 review.
Phones:
Razr (original)Mda, Nokia 6103, N90, N95, Motorola A 1200, N97, BB pearl, BB 9700, HTC G1,G2 HD2, iPhone 3g,3gs,4,4s, Galaxy s ,S2 ,HTC amaze and finally the HTC one and so far so good.

Have any of you experienced any problems with the micro-sim back panel. I heard it is plastic made and it sounds if you press it.Is it so bad or it is quite solid? What about the metal housing. Is it strong. Have you had any problems with the colour (I read the black one has problems). Thank's
