Here’s one from Craigslist. Apparently, they are listing on different Craigslist’s sites in the country with the same add. They are located in Provo, Utah with a store location in case anyone wants to verify they actually have some.

That craigslist most definitely is a scam
350USD, yeah right, and only a stock photo (rendering) as picture..

We buy directly from manufacturers for import to retailers, there are limited quantities available, but they are on the world market
Thank you for asking
Ive also asked htc they told me the same its no fake its an touch pro 2 and some of them are also sold yet

Woah, located in Provo, Utah and selling the Touch Pro 2 for $350? I'm about 40 minutes north of Provo, so maybe I'll check it out...
Anyone got a phone number for them? Or what is the name of the store location?

No-one said it's a fake, the craigslist "photo" is a stockphoto (a rendering).
HTC is not SELLING any of these devices yet.
Only ones released are the pre-production models, they are eg. for operators for testing.
NONE are yet for sale.

Fake. The phone hasn't been released

As I type this I am obtaining a new ROM from my source for the Rhodium.
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.04.531.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.43.25.13_Signed_Test.exe
This ROM was released to me today. There's no way that there are consumer grade devices for sale out there. I promise you, if the seller is true and has the device, the Rhodium had two stages in its development. One included hardware and software that were "non-turbo", later on the hardware was enabled with "turbo" but had to be disabled with a specialized cab. If that was not completed the firmware would stall and there would be an error stating that the hw/sw versions do not match. this was a real pain in the ass to get around that. So finally, everything is a running beta stage as of today.
Buyer beware.

its funny, i'm comparing my device with the ebay one. they look nothing alike. The back isn't even close, the keyboard looks cheap, the chrome on the edges doesn't exist, the screen size is wrong. I hate it when people try to prey on device junkies... don't they know that's like teasing a kid with candy.

I thought of china clone, probably doesn't even run winmo..

LG Optimus 7, only 262k colors?

All the reviews i've looked at, that shows the specs on this phone, says it's a 16M-color screen and sites that sell it online says the same thing. On LG's website it states 262k-color screen!? Sounds a bit poor!
Is it possible to see this information on the actual device? If it is, could someone please take a look and comment back here?

I don't know anything about the LG Optimus but it might be that the device supports 16M colours but Windows Phone 7 only supports 262k.
This was a problem back in the android days before 2.0

[Q] Man, Am I Lost!!

I can sure use some help. I have just received (donated to our church) a 10" PC tablet. It's one of those generic tablets (looks most like the WPad). Anyway I've got questions but don't know where to go to get answers.
Can anyone help give me direction? I started here at xda because I know the best of the post-ers and the keenest minds "reside" here.
Thanks!!

what r ur Qs maybe i can help

Can not help you if we don't know what kind of tablet you have. Check this list to see if your tablet is on XDA

Thanks for the responses. First of all there is no name on this tablet. It is not on the list you offered; it seems like one of those generic "made in China" tablets that has a Windows 7 "Ultimate". However on the homescreen, it says "Windows 7 Build 7600 This copy of Windows is not genuine."
Did someone put that on the unit perhaps, or did it get built originally that way. I keep getting pop up warnings about a counterfeit Windows and certain things happen such as the theme on the home screen disappears everytime I turn the unit on again. Can I run this like it is? Is it possible to get a Windows 7 on this without paying hundreds of dollars to do so?
Again, its a generic model. It a nice unit and I really would liketo know more about it. It is large enough to have a fan, has 2 USB ports, front camera, HDMI, and a rocker switch (which I thought was a volume control but it only effects brightness). On the front there is only a windows logo button for bring up the menu. Otherwise its not a bad unit. I was just hoping for someone familar with it to walk me through it or show me where there might be a user guide.

A great title to come into a thread to be just confused

Did i buy a fake note 4?

hi , i recently bought a note 4 off of kijiji. i just realized that the box it came in was the fake box where it says n910 on the bottom left corner, yet when i check odin its all in english and shows n910-a, see the attachment, the phone on the left is my coworkers who got one from rogers ( local carrier here in Toronto Canada), mine is on the right side. when i try to run antutu benchmark i get 42-44000 points. the stylus looks like the original stylus but it doesnt activate air command when it comes out, i tried my friends stylus and it worked fine, cpuz shows that i have a snapdragon 805 processor and 32gigs of memory (24ish usable). did i get screwed or what? oh i checked the camera settings and its the same as on my friends camera, and it shows samsung logo during startup. i can take more pictures if anyone else needs it.. also i just noticed a tiny amount of backlight bleed from the bottom right corner where the screen meets the frame.

They look the same to me. Hard to tell, although the batteries look different for sure.

i watched this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoCdjzEDQ5U
now here is what is confusing me :
1. my friends stylus pen is the same as mine, his will turn on air command and mine wont in either. ( bad pen?)
2. my camera settings are the exact same as his,
3. i have the cheap plastic backcover and his is kinda like leather,
4. i have a tiny amount of backlight bleed between the frame and back button on the bottom right corner.
5. cpuz shows that i have snapdragon 805 processor
6. baseband version shows as a legit phone.
see attachment below i took a screenshot of the about phone section
its like a bought a real note 4 that didnt pass quality control and got put in a fake note 4 box lol

You checked s pen settings for the air command?

yes it is all on, my s pen looks exactly the same as his except its a tad bit lighter, it does not look like the fake one, mine wont work in his or mine ( the air command part, the actual pen itself works on the touchscreen) his s pen is detected by my phone and air command works fine on my phone.
did another antutu benchmark, 48000 was score.

One of the tell-tale signs that I started checking for a fake phone was A) processor (which you said was verified to be SD805?), and B) screen resolution. To actually check the resolution quickly and easily, take a screenshot, then open the screenshot in gallery, view info, and see the resolution. Typically fake phones come with 720p screens cuz they're dirt cheap. A 1440 screen, not so much. Maybe take a camera pic as well and do the same and verify the resolution of the image matches what its supposed to be as well (16MP).
I bought an International GS5 last summer off Swappa to use on ATT and be unlockable bootloader. Got the phone and immediately noticed weird things similar to you. Then checked the items I just told you about.... my screen resolution was actually 720 rather than 1080, my camera was only taking 5MP images, my processor was listed as 'unknown', and I had a random build number that there was no record of online. Kinda weird when your phone's build, when put into a google search, comes up with ZERO hits.

im meeting up with him for a "replacelement s pen" im gonna ask for a refund.

[Q] HTC 10 carbon grey logos

Hi everyone!
Sorry that I'm late for the party,, but better late than never! I'm from UK and I'm planning to buy a HTC 10 carbon grey variant this week from HTC UK website. I just wanted to know one thing - Are there any logos at the back of your device other than the HTC logo? I've seen few devices with completely clean back (with only the HTC logo in the middle) and others with the CE number and other information at the bottom. I was wondering if its related to carriers or all the new devices (including the ones from HTC website) coming now sports such a logo at the back. I know that this logo is present due to the non-removable back cover, but from the pictures I've seen, these logos take away a bit of its beauty. But still, it's a great device. Just wanted to make sure of this detail.
Thanks in advance!

Did you buy it from the HTC website or is it from any carrier or any other e-commerce site?

the others are carrier specific logos when you buy along with a contract with them or without a contract too from them sometimes...
directly from htc website would give you without any other logo but only HTC

I am aware of the carrier specific logos, but my question was on the additional labels (like CE2200 etc) as seen in the picture below. I saw in some reviews, devices without those labels. I was wondering if its just pre-ordered devices or the devices coming direct from HTC. I think the clean back is much better than the one with labels.

For comparison, here is the device with just the model specified at the bottom. This has a cleaner look than the other. Not a deal breaker though, but maybe its just my OCD and feels that this looks cleaner than with lot of writings at the back.

Mine is from a carrier.

Those labels stopped being required in the US about a year ago. Most reviewers are US based so this is why their model doesn't have the labels. I'm not sure what UK law is regarding the labels.

I guess this is the answer that I wanted. I thought the labels are not needed anymore anywhere in the world. Anyways, it would have been dope to get the device just like how they portray in the ads.

Sony have the right idea.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got my phone and it had nothing but the faint HTC and the model. It looks so clean! Combined with the fact that there are no labels on the front... so nice. I'm on Verizon but I'm very glad I got the unlocked model. Finally free from their ugly check mark!
