[INFO] Whew! Just got my TF and everything SEEMS ok....

I just unboxed my TF...gave it the "once over" looking for all the things mentioned in the various threads....sharp edges, dust in the camera lens, dust under the screen, dead pixels, lack of charging indication, won't charge...etc....
So far....none of those problems seem to have made it to my TF....what a relief!
The quality LOOKS (appears) to be very good...and the finishing seems just fine...
I did the initial set up and everything seemed to go ok there too...no weird lock ups....no dead screen areas....
I set up gmail to be accessed from the screen widget...it just seemed to be a better way than just leaving that "0 emails" thing there....
I'm psyched! and I DON'T want to wait 8 hours to be finished with the charge!! waaaa...
It came charged at 61%...

Congratulations!
I got my TF yesterday, it's very nice although I have a slighly quieter left speaker and I think I've experienced my first SOD.

Hey I just unboxed mine as well a few minutes ago, and really have no issues either. But does yours have an led charging indicator? I mean when its off. Not in the actual hc os. When i first plugged in the adapter it turned on by itself, ran through the setup, and said it was charging. Im real anal with my gizmos and want it to fully charge before using it, so I shut it down. No indicator though? Im sure this is for everyone but can't find consistent results? Is your indicator on? By the way, congrats on getting one!

I don't see one....just on the screen it has the percentage and in the lower right corner a little icon with a lightening bolt....

There is NO indicator FYI

Have fun with it.

Did you look for light bleeding? Turn the brightness all the way up and hop into the gallery app, should see some if you have any.

Where did you buy from?

I got lucky ordered it 3 days ago and got 2nd day air.....

Most of the issues are Honeycomb-related and can be fixed easily via updates. The hardware on this thing is quite solid. Enjoy your new toy.

Have you installed PC suite ? If so any problems?

gratz...been using my TF for just over a week and it works flawlessly..

We badly need more of these 'everything OK' threads

Lol. My TF is ok too. Nice to know that not everyone has issues. I do have a little light bleed, but not a big deal.

I'm a new user of Tapatalk and couldn't purchase it from the market on the TF, so I went to the Market on my Evo 4G and purchased there. Then I went to the Market on my TF and it showed up as an available app for install. It works great on my TF with no FCs.

Oh sorry mr Paul, but if you read the op's post carefully they said no issues with....lack of charge indicator. So, I thought he/she may have had a light or something? I know there isn't an led indicator now. THANK YOU. The device should still be charging after a shut down. Simple feature, and its not on the tf? Not a big deal.

There is no problem to take xrays while the phone is tuned on.

But I don't see little green robots.

What you see in the first picture is:
the back camera in the middle of the picture
the front camera in the upper part of the picture (left)
the jack plug in the right-upper part
In the second picture you can see the metallic Samsung Logo from the back of the case, the speaker on the right upper side and the USB plug.

the first ever android dr lol...dont u have any patients to deal with???
what's the cost of ma gs2's MRI?...lol...(just kidding...)

will u tell us that how to this please

Try bombarding your phone with X-Rays, maybe it'll grow a third core!

This is really cool.
I would love to have more like those as wallpapers for my monitors.

Actually, top left, first image is the earpiece speaker, not the front camera, that is waaaay off to the left.
Nice job though, nice to see xrays of this thing.

Are you able to provide the full picture of the phone rather than just a small part of it?

Did you cover its genitalia so it can still have little Android babies with our devices?
Seriously nice pictures!

Heat & gap concerns

Hi
I got my HTC one just under a week ago on three and I'm in love with it. But there are some things I'm worried about. One thing is that when I play games or plug the phone in charge the cool aluminum back becomes rather uncomfortably hot and makes me have to switch hands, it doesn't burn but it does irritate...
Secondly I've seen some posts about gaps at the top and I have those but I was wondering if anyone else has a very fine bulge of the plastic above where the usb port is? I don't know if this is a fault of my phone or it is a general thing so I don't know whether to ask for an exchange or not... If anyone wants pictures of the gap just say!

I know it's only slight but it bothers me when i catch it in the corner of my eye

i dont see anything

The tiny white bit in the right side, look across the phone and you'll see it better because you can't see the white bit anywhere else... I do have really sharp eyes though so If you can't see it I'm sorry

I can see it, i have excactly the same on my One, im just living with it though as everything else is soo perfect!
The only thing im worried about, is were that is, were the charger plugs in, the 2 little 'Catches' on the charger that hold it in rub on the white bit, in other words the hole seems to small, only slightly, i may contact HTC about this as im a little worried it will cause future problems like a Broken Charger or Charge Point etc. . .

Yeah that's exactly what I was worried about with the charger thing, if you do contact HTC let me know how it goes

ahhh thanks. i suppose that is the overhang issue. the speaker grille is badly glued.
htc is supposedly working on a solution right now, and it will be resolved in april batches. i think

I don't think it is because I can't push it in at all so I'm guessing the size of something in that area is wrong :/

So do you guys think they carrier will swap it for me or am I just being really uptight?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Mine gets very hot too, I'm guessing that is a metal thing though, the gaps don't bother me or any slight overhang.
For me the issues are...
Blinkfeed
Heat
slow charging
home button is so hard to hit because it's small and in the corner
no battery percentage
no file search on the phone

Try a launcher or put blink feed to the side and disable all sources? The file search apps on the market do me fine but normally they put something on the battery so there is less heat transfer to one spot I n the metal but I don't think they've done that in the first batch :/ and mine charges pretty fine as well
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I too have the overhang on the charging port. I have had two handsets (first one replaced due to gaps at top which moved when pressed) and its been on them both.
Second one has a slight dent/scratch in the white band, so ill wait another week (still in 28 days) and try and get another swap out. I do love the phone, battery life is immense, I'm getting about 2.5 days out of it at mo.

I have owned so many HTC phones it boggles the mind. In that time I have had to have 3 go in for repair. On stopped charging (one S) another had the wifi GPS glitch (one X international) and one just plain died one day to never turn on again (ATT one x+). All of these were taken care of by HTC. Can't say without issue, the international one X they scratched the case and took a little while to get a new one but in the end all my issues were taken care of. I would really say wait until HTC has resolved these issues and then they will take care of you 100%. You will need to be able to send the phone in for repair but they are fairly quick about 10 days total turn around time. They also didn't have any issue at all repairing a international phone at the USA HTC repair center something that is not true with Samsung.

Are you in the UK or America? Cus if you're in the UK I think I can get an exchange as well

Screen Too Close to Panel?

So I have desided I would live with the phones warm ish colour its not as bad now. But the mid right side of the phone I can say hit settings on the notification bar and I can clearly see marks happen on the screen for a few seconds like I was pushing down hard on the screen when I certainly was not :/ Whats this and are they all like this or is this one a dud?

my DNA started to do this towards the middle..it's the overall design of the phone and the shape of the back, i believe. i don't notice it on my G2 much.

Okay thanks. How much pressure do you have to.use before it would do it? Im about to drive down to best buy real quick even though its a little under an hour drive to get a.replacement.

Isn't this also using the zero gap technology? If so then the "closeness" improves touchscreen responsiveness.

I just got back from doing an exchange this one is NOT as bad as the first one its manageable! The screen colour is a little better too still warm but not redish like the other one.

Pixel XL issues and defects

Probably not the best type of thread but it's for anyone who has faced any issues or defects with Pixel XL. When I'm expected to fork out £819 for a top end of phone I don't really expect any types of defects.
Overall I'm quite pleased with the phone but I've noticed the pulse notification light is bit odd. Green colour is perfect but red or orange colours show as white and pink!!!
I'm sure that's not how it's supposed to be?
I've reported this to google who are looking into it and will get back to me.
Anyone else tested any features which aren't as expected or noticed any defects please let us know.

The power button feels weird, like it doesn't wanna press unless I push a certain way. Might be just me, though

There's a dead pixel on the left hand side of my screen. I've tried to ignore it, but it's really bothering me. I think I'm just going to return it and hope that the replacement doesn't take months to arrive.

That doesn't sound right to me, power button on both my silver and black can be pushed from any angle or part and it works.

I don't know how to test LED light, is it turned off with ambient display?
my only issue so far is the lack of double tap to wake. The phone is super fast and responsive. I'm at work, so I can't play too much, but damn is it going to get used all night.

Going into settings, notifications then tap on the settings icon and toggle on pulse notification light.
Took me a while to figure.
I couldn't find option to change colour so installed light manager to switch between different colours.

Is anyone having problems with very slow 4G speeds? Compare to my Samsung Galaxy S7 and the speed on this phone for the 4G networks is very slow I wonder why that is

is there anyway to get a charging LED? always liked to be able to see how charged my phone is by a quick glance without having to keep turning the screen on.

After some exhaustive testing against my Samsung Galaxy S 7 Edge I concluded that the upload speed using 4G with the pixel XL is about 10% of that of the Galaxy S 7 Edge I wonder why that is and I hope that it will be an update to the modem that will fix this problem I would love to hear from the rest of you what kind of upload speeds you are getting using the 4G network with your new pixel XL phone thank you very much for your help
