I hate the blink feed, or what ever they call it. Ugly and not something I can use. And there is no way to get rid of it.

My home wifi will not connect. Everything else in the house works fine but this phone. AT&T is sending a brand new modem/router to see if that helps (it needed updating anyway). I'm going to see if I can get it to connect to Starbucks or the grocery store today. If not - the phone is going back. We prefer to use WiFi when we can, and that is at home.

The phone is lighter and the battery is 10x better than on my HTC TB. I spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T and the battery hardly got to 50%. It was already down to 60% after a days usage, so 10% for a 2 hour call wasn't bad compared to the TB battery life.

I can't get used to the home key and back buttons. Takes me a few tries to find the stupid things. Also I used to be able to do a pull down on my TB and find a list of the previously used apps and jump to one faster. I can't figure out that ability on this phone. And the keyboard sucks. I may end up loading the thumb keyboard I had on the TB.

I like it otherwise - but I'm not investing in a new case without WiFi. So if that issue can get fixed, I'm good to go.

Oh HTC spent an hour with my via Twitter to try and fix the WiFi issue and that was good customer service in my book. I'm hoping its just the old modem.

I'm not doing a rom or something like that - so please don't suggest it.
 
Sounds like the only issue you really have is with wifi. Could be the router or possibly the phone. It's electronics, **** happens.
Everything else can be resolved as mentioned above, use a different launcher, double tap the home key and check out the multitude of keyboards available at the Play store.
My first One had a bad mic, replaced the phone and moved on.
 
I and others have had WiFi issues. Seems some older routers won't work with the One but will with everything else. Mine was a westell dsl router that wouldn't work. A change to a netgear router and everything was fine.
 
The Westell is our issue as well. AT&T is sending a new Netgear one so sounds like the problem will be fixed. Thank You for letting me know.
