Should I return my HTC One?

[jrasero23]

It is a beautiful phone and probably on par with the iPhone for design BUT I got my Verizon HTC One on release day and the 1st one I got horrible battery so I returned, the second got so hot using GPS plugged into my car it restarted, and the third also got poor battery life and had poorly finished ports and the gap issues.

Overall the phone is the best HTC phone yet, but the sub par battery and quality control were major major turn offs. In the end I traded my HTC One to someone for a S4. The S4 doesn't have the feel or build of the One by any means but I have no gaps, I get very good battery life, and the phone has tons of features.

With Verizon version they don't have power saving mode, but I noticed even on standby the phone drained very fast and I was loosing 1% every minute or less. From 7-7 with the One I had 30%-20% left in the tank and that is with little to no use. With the same setting with the S4 going 7-7 with little use I am left with 60% left. I just find the extra mah and the S4's ability to handle battery life much much better

Thanks for the constructive criticism...
For as expensive as these phones are, the grass should always green.

I agree, and your phone shouldn't lag. Mine doesn't on those exact same games. Are you stock? Sense 5? GPe? Or rooted? Because if you are - it's the ROM.

Mine doesn't lag when playing ANY game, from simple games like Angry Birds to hardware-strainers like Real Racing 3.

My One gets 55 FPS average on Epic Citadel on high graphics (not max).

Your phone shouldn't lag. Maybe something's hogging your CPU. Do you have any AV apps installed?

My Gnex would lag with Jetpack Joyride sometimes, but when it did it was very bad. Now I have the LG G2 and it hasn't lag once. This is pretty much the only game I play LOL.
