Putting humour aside HTC should not promise what it can't deliver and I'm sure that AnthOny will agree with comment. It is very poor public relations.

I ha... moreI understand your pain. They had no factory refurbished HTC U ULTRA phones to give me a replacement under uhoh protection warranty.
after 50+ days of waiting the back glass became available on eBay so I bought it there and got it replaced locally. So don't dump your phone. Put a plastic skin protector on the broken glass and keep it. Sooner or later the display will go on sale on ebay and you can buy one and have the repair done at a walk in repair shop.
HTC RMA department is totally useless. Take it from me if they did take apart your phone it was going to come back with gaps in the assembly like the crappy Work they did many years ago on my wife ONE MAX.
HTC great phones, piss poor RMA department

I have only had it for one week! I automatically bought a screen protector, which I have never done for a phone before. Oh well, this cost way to much to limit the amount of protection it receives.

HTC U11 - Nice Phone, Beware HTC Customer Service!!
I had the U11 for about 5 weeks, enjoying it immensely. It’s protected with Spigen Liquid Crystal case. One day, I had the phone sitting in cupholder of my car while I drove. I later pulled it out of my (front) pocket in the evening to discover crumbled glass on the side of the screen which quickly spidered out across the screen. The spot where the glass crumbled is exactly where my thumb sits when using the edge squeeze feature. The case covers this edge and does not have a scratch or a mark on it. I searched online for other people who may have experienced glass breakage. Seems to be growing concern over durability of the U11, see the test at https://youtu.be/DdRxmu2jcMs . There are some complaints about breakage from just a small fall, but my phone was definitely not dropped!! I've never had a screen crack on any smartphones in the past and I'm pretty sure that it's a defect in manufacturing. Expect that we will be seeing more complaints over coming weeks and months. It appears that HTC has had issues with parts supply, particularly glass, so also expect long waits and expensive repairs.
After hearing from HTC support that parts for the U11 were now available and repairs were running 7-10 days, I got an RMA and sent the phone back to them for repair on 7/17. I activated my older HTC One M8 in the meantime, which gives me no end of trouble with cellular radio signal and connectivity. I am barely able to make calls and rarely get data, while my wife's and daughter's iphones have no issues at our location.
Attempting to use their online repair tracking tool, I checked daily to see if the device had advanced to status of "shipped" at their repair center. After several days there was no indication that it was received so I contacted them and asked directly. On 7/25, they requested that I provide a tracking number which I did, via both phone and their online messaging system (you can't email them directly, they communicate only through their ticketing system). I tracked the package via USPS and got proof that it had been delivered to their facilities on 7/20. They advised me "not to worry" as the repair tracking tool is frequently not updated. They assured me in a message that my case was escalated to their "especial team project (SPT3)".
On 8/2, now 13 days from their receipt of my phone, I messaged them to ask about status. Their reply, which is usually delayed by at least one day, came back on 8/3 as follows: "Unfortunately, we still need to wait until the next, because we are experiencing a delay on our repair center". For the next several days, we went back and forth with me trying to get an ETA for repair of my phone and HTC sending me vague messages telling me not to worry. I did begin to worry when I realized and told them that I was going abroad at end of the following week and needed a working phone. They still could not give me any status update or cause for delay, so I told them that I would need either my phone back or a replacement by end of week. Their response included: "I would like to ask from you a bit more of your generous time to bring this event to the best results in your favor".
I tried calling HTC Support in hopes of better information. Typical hold times range from 15-20 minutes. They then asked me for tracking information all over again and I was on the phone with them for 56 minutes with no one able to provide any sort of update. I asked for a supervisor, who put me on hold for several minutes, and then assured me that someone from their repair team would call within 10 minutes. No call, so I sent another message via their ticketing system that I would have take my phone back without repair if they couldn't provide any status or ETA. This time, I got a fairly quick response saying that they will return my phone sometime in next 48 hours in its current (broken) state. They updated their ticketing system to reflect that I had closed the ticket.
In short, I'm ready to throw this phone out and go to Samsung or Apple, not because it's a bad device but because HTC is clearly struggling and can't keep up commitments, quality or service levels to remain competitive.

Pros.-Brilliant colors, better camera resolution and video.
Cons.- No 3.5 mm jack. HTC removed the video editor and photo editor, they preferred to leave that work to Google wich is terrible, also they removed the htc music app that on google app your music sounds bad ugly because google app has no EQ and other features that worked better on htc music app. Has no option to download on google play.
Battery has a poor performance. Screen and cell standby drain your battery quickly even if cellphone is not in use. Came with no video calls and text messaging has no any upgrade.
I get a cellphone with better carcaza but hueco inside. Very disappointed. I have to admit that LG G6 that was my previous cellphone has a lot better features and battery stays a long time on daily basis and games, 3.5 mm jack, own photo & video editor and is waterproof also.

it is possible to have brightness set to auto and have the slider in notifications too high.
when you are done to 10% Battery left what app and what system has used the most power and there %? (check battery usage details)
Also you should setup the boost+ app that came with the phone to optimize foreground & background apps. And activate smart boost for ram management.
If you not seeing boost+ then download it from the play store. It's a HTC app.

Sunn, 01 Aug 2017S8 or u11Can't go wrong with either one. But as U11 is great. Maybe your decision will come down to what type of screen you want? The S8's curved display or HTC's display. Because I'm sure both will perform great.

MAFIA RAMA, 07 Aug 2017no jack? 3000mah batt? ouch... pityMost of the time those people that complain about the battery size are those who watch A LOT of YouTube videos. Even if they have a 5000mah battery inside, if u use a lot of battery consuming apps, then in the end the battery life is going to match a average user, no matter how BIG the battery is. So yeah, I feel u bro, ouch!
