Hey, i want to buy htc desire and i hear they have a serious memory-card(SD) problem and RAM/ROM - the phone crashes! -some say that it happens in all Android designs! is that true?
Did HTC find the problem or was it a knewn bad series that they shipped out?
Also, do you have info about actuall life time of the battery? i have heard it dosnt hold for a day.
in android 2.2 :is there a support for Dvix and Xvid?
can the GPS get an addres orally without touching the phone?
what about the noise canceling in the conversation?
is there a review about the Android 2.3?
im new in the "touch" smart phones and just trying to avoid a bad deal.
thank you
Dear All,
Fellow HTC users, what store did you buy your HOX; Broadway, Fortress, One2Free, Smartone... Any bugs or glitches? What firmware did your HOX arrive with? A small initial review would be great.
Fortress
I live in England but I went to Hong Kong on holiday and I Pre-Ordered & brought my HTC ONE X Premium Pack with Beats Solo from Fortress for HK$5680
There were no hardware issues when i brought it but it had some software issues such as; jumping screen, live wallpaper stopping when scrolling, and signal problems.
The Firmware/Software number it came with is 1.26.708.2
So far this phone is awesome, super fast and smooth and fast boot up time without fast boot enabled, Sometimes it can lag but that's another software issue, hopefully HTC will fix at least some of the bugs in the next update.
Same here: Fortress $5698 with Beats Solo, 1.26.708.2
issues: photo quality is not as great as expected. quite hot at the back during gaming.
anyway, no regrets
Good stuff...
Thanks Zero and bighead.
What colour did both of you pick? Any live photos of your HOX would be great. I'm waiting till May and see if they have any OTA to be released. bighead, any new firmware updates from HTC HK? Is the phone very smooth when scrolling? Force 2D GPU work?
Thanks again.
Is it safe to buy HTC One X in Sin Tat Plaza?
Hi guys,
I'm currently in a business trip in Taiwan and going to be this upcoming Saturday in Hong-Kong for 1 day. I'm planning to buy there HTC One X, as I've heard it is cheaper than here in Taiwan (official price in Taiwan is about 20900 TWD, which is about 5550HKD).
I saw in this thread that the price for HTC One X in Sin Tat Plaza is about 4600 HKD or even 4300 HKD (if you bargain).
My question...Is it safe to buy HTC One X in Sin Tat Plaza? I don't want to buy a grey market one. I read many warnings over the forums NOT to buy from there, as they tend to 'switch' parts in the phones and also sell you 'parallel import' phones.
Can you safely recommend on Sit Tat Plaza? And/or can you recommend on somewhere else to buy it? Fortress or Broadway maybe? The problem is that the price in both Fortress and Broadway is about 5200 HKD. Do you think I can bargain on the price also there???
Thanks in advance...
Fortress, Broadway, Gome etc..

Zachig,
Stay away from sin dat. Even locals stay away. It's run by triads so try to avoid sin dat for purchasing phones. On the other hand, cases, screen protectors are safe as its rather cheap on price and selection is very good. The subjected jobs are safe for tourists and minimal price bargaining is ok say $1-200. They have stacks of phones just behind the counter so you can pick and choose which phone based on visual inspection, production dates etc.. they also bundle free screen protectors, additonal chargers, cases etc... its up to your bargaining power. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip man. I guess I'll buy then in Fortress. As a local, what do you think are my chances to get a discount (by bargain) on the HTC One X in Fortress?
I'll be staying in Novotel hotel on Nathan Road. Is there any fortress store nearby?
Hi, I pre-orderd white HOX from Smartone price at $5698, I have 10% discount and got it on the first day of release.
Everything is fine for the first machine presented to me, I'm happy with it except:
- Battery issue
- Heat issue
- Power button is not very good
Ocean Centre

Zachig,
Head over to Ocean Centre (Kowloon's largest mall right by the harbour).
1. You should walk over to Jordan MTR station.
2. Take the MTR to Tsim Tsa Tsui (TST) (Central Direction; one station away to TST).
3. Proceed to Exit A1.
4. Make a right turn after you exit onto Haiphong Road.
5. Walk 2 minutes till you get to Canton Road.
6. The Mall spans the whole block.
7. Go into any entrance and look for floor directory or ask one of the beautiful info girls.
8. All the electronics stores are located on the same floor and right across from rach other.
OR
You can walk down Nathan Road for 10 minutes till you get to Haiphong Road.
Make a right turn and head down to Canton Road.
Good luck bargaining.
All retail....
Fortress and Broadway are selling HOX w/o beats headphones for $5180.

Have you tried to apply ant other rom? like Jelly Bean? If so could you point me where to find! I'm not sure if i can apply the ROM's that are avaible on the development forum of HTC One X.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone know? Or is the stock in the stores & warehouses all there is of this phone forever?
Yep all new devices are being made, if shops are selling it is only old stock.
New phones like the s,p,u are just coming out so why make old phone.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
I dont think so..Sony manufactures a model atleast for a year from the month of launch.
i dont know whether "Sony" and "Sony Ericsson" will cause a problem..
but normally they dont stop production atleast for a year.they may reduce the number of output.
BTW Wrong section...Question goes to Q&A Section and NOT in General Section
i bay it for 220euros 1 month ago

Stopped?
I have contacted the biggest electronics shop today and they don't sell the Xperia Arc S anymore because they're out of stock. The informant also told me that Sony Ericsson stopped producing these phones because Sony bought Sony Ericsson. The best way to still get this phone is to search online on the internet. There are still enough people who have a new Xperia Arc S.
Hi Guys,
I have just purchased Sony Xperia S coz I got good reviews for it. But now when going more deep into Xperia S blog posts there are questions raised on the manufacturing week of the phone.
I purchased a phone mentioning 12W16 and with Touch Firmware 7. Are the phones manufactured during these weeks good?
Are they free from defects such as Yellow tint etc. and will have no issues during the near upgrade to Jelly Bean.
Since you guys are experts will need your suggestions on this else i can catch hold of Sony Service Center and ask for a latest model.
Thanks in advance.
Hey!
Hey! I'll buy either the Z1C or the LG G2, which one should I buy? Could you help me please? Advantages/disadvantages with either phone? And try not to be to much of a "fan-boy" please
I want a good mobile camera but I've heard about camera freeze issues every 5 photos or so? Is that fixed? And how good is the camera really? I've heard different opinions about that! And what about that Sony forget about their "older phones" is that true? I know Z1C will get Android 5.0 but after that? Do they send out bugfixes frequently? For how long do you guys think that Sony will support Z1C? Anything else I should be aware of or forgotten to ask about?
I'm not buying any other phone than one of these so please don't suggest any other ones, thanks in advance and sorry for my english

Good morning,
your English is just fine, but your questions. Sorry, you can find all the answers on the net. Who knows now how long Sony will support Z1c? Lollipop is coming sometime in the first half of next year. I do not really know the G2 but for me that size is already too big. I have never experienced camera freezes and never hadproblems with picture quality (which is a personal issue I think).
Hope that help.
Best regards

1: Are you happy with the phone overall? 2: Is there lots of support from people on this site? I mean Sony will stop the support to Z1C in the future and it would be nice to know that I might be able to get the support from people on here for atleast a couple of years or so when Sony stops sending out updates/bugfixes
Thanks for taking your time.

I am absolutely happy with my "precious". Despite the fact that you better use protection from the 1st minute, it will satisfy my needs for a long time. As for support, I am quite sure there will be developers to provide some very fine custom ROMs for the device for a number of years.
Best regards
