Hey guys, I recently purchased a wildfire on 3 for my father.
I need 2 things from you.
1. How do I unlock it? Our family is on o2. Will it take long? Is it free?
2. How do I debrand it?

AFAIK unlocking is not free, but you can debrand the phone by using this GUIDE

I have seen in amazon that some one xs are sold cheeper cause they are locked to orange for example. If I buy one of this is it possible to unlock it to a diferrent provider ?

In theory. Nobody has managed to do it yet however.

Much more likely when/if s-off is achieved.
I just bought the HTC one v, currently have the Optimus v running tdm's build of CM9 beta. I haven't activated my HTC yet 'cause I'm in no hurry. I assume it would be fine to unlock/root before activating.
Is this true? Thanks!
Yeah, as long as you're on the stock rom, you can activate the phone.

Hello,
I am a relative newbie here and would really appreciate some help.
I live in India and I am planning to get the HTC One X NA Unlocked from USA to India via friend. I have the following few questions:
1. Is it better to get the HTC One S NA or the HTC One X NA. Reason I ask is, the international One S does not have the Krait processor.
2. In either case, if i get an unlocked phone here and use it with a general SIM, will I not be able to update it with any firmware/SW changes?
3. What happens to the warranty of an unlocked phone? I am guessing there will be limited/no warranty on the phone in India.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, please do reply!
Regards,
Anupam.
The choice of one s / one x is upto you. I would say one x as that's what I've got.
The warranty may well be void in India.
As for updates that depends on the provider. I would suggest putting a custom rom on it.

Why do you want to to this ?
Why not buy it from india ?
1. One X
2. Upon booting you'll only loose access to HTC HUB which I guess none care
3. You'll still b able to upgrade the device.
4. You'll loose the warranty.
Guess this helps

Cheaper in US. $500 around which is roughly 28 K v/s 38K in India currently.
International One S does have the Krait processor. If getting the One S get one with the S4 chip as you can also get ones with the S3 chip which is slightly slower than the S4.
Both are very good phones, if size is not an issue then get the One X. My sister has the HOS, it has better battery life, better music quality via headphones noticablely faster in day to day usage as the S4 is a great chip.
The international One X has tegra which is good for gaming. One X has the better screen, HD resolution.
You'd be happy with either phone.

So does this mean i can upgrade without a custom ROM? I am a little new to this and have never actually played around with my phone. Hence would like to know what is the best way without too many customizations.

Hi,
I wanted to buy the nexus 4 but since yesterday, i know the nexus is not coming to my country (belgium). Since i need a new phone (my htc desire is running on it last breath) i wanted to review my options. The best phones available here are the s3 and the one x or one x+. I would like to make it a nexus via a custom rom. I know it is possible with all three but is one better than the other? l have heard that the exynos soc is a pain for developing for example...
And the buttons on one x are more stock them s3.
Looking forward to your answers!

I have htc one x myself... But you dont get s-off.... Check one x forum.. We all complaine about it.
I would have choosen s3 if i could buy again. But dont get me wrong. One X is a good phone. Just no s-off..

I bought Galaxy Nexus off Amazon Germany for 325 euros two months ago. I also know a colleague of mine who arrogantly ordered a nexus 4 off the internet yesterday and expects it to be delivered tomorrow.

Maybe for the following reasons.
1. OP owns a Desire
2. Asking this on any of the three device specific threads will only yield bias to the device it was posted on.
3. Ran out of ideas.
Hey at least its not another best rom thread.

Exactly! I thought about posting it on the two forums of the devices in question but i figured they would recommend their own device anyway.
And yes i have a desire now so maybe other desire owners are thinking about changing too

I would prefer..
Nexus 4
HOX+
S3
In that order. The price point + longer software support just screams value for me. Just look at the support Nexus S got.

I agree, except pay attention to the nexus 4 forums first. I think the early release has a few problems. Wait for the dust to settle about the nexus excitement, then if the reviews are still good, buy it.
I would choose one s.
Galaxy Nesus!!!
