I posted this in another thread, but thought I'd open it up to the everyone else.

Have had the HTC One since last Thursday and am having a blast with it. My first jump into the Android world having been on an iPhone since a 3Gs.
I do have a few questions though, maybe some of you have figured it out:

I thought Blinkfeed would update occasionally on it's own without having to pull it down. Settings say, "Auto refresh: Using Wi-Fi." I'm connected to Wi-Fi most of the day, and it rarely auto refreshes.

The Weather displayed next to time also never updates automatically. It always says "No Weather Data Available." I have to manually update that as well. Meanwhile, there are weather widgets that stay updated.

What notifications actually show in the "Productivity" lock screen. So, far it's been missed calls and messages, and the occasional meeting alert (though I have calendars unchecked), that's it. None of my mail appears there, though it says it should. I have mail configured through "Exchange" and the default "Mail" and only a couple of times has it ever displayed an incoming mail and it was from the "Exchange" side.

Speaking of mail, although, I have Exchange set to "Push" and my personal mail set to "5 minutes" both will not update until I open the app and I have "Refresh on open" unchecked. Meanwhile, the Xfinity mail app runs fine, and alerts in notifications when I have new mail.

My display sleep mode has defaulted back to 1min a few times. I have it set to 10mins for exchange users.

Love being able to customize things, having a great time exploring Android. Keeping my fingers crossed about the HTC updates. All the stuff I've been reading seems to point that they take forever to do the Android updates. Hoping that the continue to push things with new Zoe and Sense features.

Thanks!
 
I have also encountered the blink feed and weather app update issues. I hope an update comes out soon to fix those.

From what ever phone I feel like using today.
 
-there seems to be a bug with BlinkFeed updates... I guess everyone just needs to wait for fix for its syncing from HTC.
- the weather widget is also buggy... Try restarting your phone with "fast boot" option disabled, it might fix the location issue.
- mail app syncing: it seems to not work correctly for some people with Exchange accounts... Try disabling "sleep mode" under "Power" settings, see if it will fix syncing issues... Also, make sure you can see "mail" app under "Accounts & Sync".

Thanks, I'll give the mail stuff a shot.
Found this in another thread that seems to fix or temporarily fix the weather bug:
Turn "update location" in weather on and off, then go to "Google Settings" and turning location off and on, and finally in the Location Service under settings off and on. Restart the phone with fast boot off.
