Second HTC One (M8) - Do You Have Build Quality Issues?

[bxdw01]

Got a replacement after finding a dent on my first M8. So I noticed that on my second M8, the power button is almost flush. Didn't really take notice with the first model but does anyone else have a M8 with a power button that is only about the thickness of a sheet of paper out? I'll try to post pics later tonight.

My complaints on mine are that the lower right corner is slightly not flush with the screen, and the holes are not punched all the way through on the right side of the speaker grills. I went to a verizon store and the phone the guy working their showed me had the same issue in the lower right corner, but the holes looked consistent on both lower and upper grills. I guess it just cosmetic though since the speakers are only on the left side of the grills.

I've had no problems with build quality. Maybe the quality of the camera inside isn't that great.. does that count? But as far as the build of the device I've not noticed anything bad.

HTC has a 1 year limited warranty against manufacture defects. If you didn't do anything (drop it or damage it) then it sounds like it would be covered. I've read through the fine print and details on their warranty just so I know what would and would not be covered

Sorry to post in an old thread but are the speakers on the M8 REALLY perfectly distortion free? Because when i play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtzO2DC1WVU this song particularly the speakers start to distort like hell from the 100-200Hz sine waves at the start of the song? Therefore i ask all of you are my phone's speakers defective or are they just being overloaded at max volume with songs like this?

My build is perfect. There's a very small amount of light bleed in the bottom left and top left side/corners. It's barely noticeable, so I'm not sure I want to even mess with a replacement. I have the GPE M8 from the Play Store.

I don't have the M8 (yet? I'm still researching ), but I wouldn't be surprised if you're just over driving the speakers. If I remember right, a sine wave is the hardest for a speaker to reproduce. Plus bass notes are also the hardest of the octaves to play, which is why good stereos have big, dedicated woofers and subs. When you try to play a big bass note on the same small speaker as everything else, it doesn't take much to cause a lot of distortion.

I took a listen to the start of the song on my current phone, and it distorted pretty easily too.

No issues at all regarding build quality the most solid phone I've owned.

The only issue I have is that the rear camera has a scratch on it.

I just tested mine on full volume and didn't have any distortion. It played crystal clear and very loud, for a phone at least.

Played mine at max volume for 6 hours while painting the inside of my house. No problems with distortion.

I haven't found any problems with mine thus far (in about 10 hours of owning it). Very impressed with the build quality. Everything seems 100% up to expectations.

After 2 months? Perfection.

Gunmetal Grey here with Rogers Canada. After one month I have visible (and I can feel it) screen lift on both sides . Not flush On the left side, I can actually repeatedly depress the top left corner and here a tap noise.
Not cool

 

[mcox1124]

Some of my gunmetal gray finish is wearing off. Right above the SD card slot. Phone is two months old... I question the quality of the finish off this is already happening. Sure I was running the phone naked for about half this time, but other than the black iPhone5, I've never seen a device's finish deteriorate that fast.

my M8 is easily the best built device I've EVER had in my hand.......iphones included, so no build quality issues here

maybe i'm being paranoid, so can someone check for me, I don't have another M8 to compare to

Is the screen supposed to be slightly raised over the body of the phone, as in you can put a finger nail between them. Or is it supposed to be 100% flush. I can def see a black border above the grey body when i look from the side, and I can slighlty depress the screen down if I push (that may be normal flex). Only reason I'm paranoid about screen lift is because I press the top left (where sim card slot is) I can hear a tapping sound as I press it in.

 

[SS2006]

for example if you run your finger from the ear piece grille to the screen, is it normal to feel a little bump/ridge, or should it be 100% flush
