[Q] Domestic Hong Kong HTC ONE X Users...where did you buy... - HTC One X

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.

Arigato gozaimasu!
I'll be in an industrial district/town called LongGang, about one-hour drive from LoHu (the train station on the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border). Will the market be anywhere near there?

from Luo hu, 10 to 15 minitues by Taxi, called "Fu Tian Distric."
Many Building and thaousands of shopes selling parts,
Oh... Fu Tian. I've heard of that place before.
Have you managed to install the new housing? Was it difficult? I heard it is not an easy job.
Seems like someone's going to make lots of money... NOT! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-O2-E...itemZ9733399786QQcategoryZ15039QQcmdZViewItem
That price is way too steep... I won't be surprised if he hasn't managed to sell any yet.
tyo change housing, not so easy but can do,,,,,
take time and carfully.
Someboday selling....
becouse my prices are domestic wholesaler prices.. so you can feel
reasonable or cheap/
but once they are in shops in HK,, it will be W-or Triple prices.
I ts no way....
so we must share the information to get cheap one,,,
even me in china ...
i bought some battries for my friends,, at the beggning price was RMB220/pc,
other day i found 150RMB, one more other day,,
found 125RMB/pc
china is the place like this....
work around,,or wallets will be lighter and lighter!
i am still working around to find better!
It's the same in Hong Kong: I once found a shop selling extended batteries for the Dell Axim X50v for $280, but after a 10-minute journey I found another shop selling the same batteries for HK$240. Things tend to be cheaper on weekdays in the market place as well.
Do they sell complete body-sets (with keyboard panel and so on), including instructions ?
I have a T-Mobile one, but would kill for an unbranded cover (especially a black one )
now we can found,,
1;Boday and keyboard pannel
2; 3 x parts of Hindge,,,(but some times no in market
4:LCD housing
but,,, the parts are not equal conditions.
*some Housing missing small swithes,,slider siwitches,

*small ruber parts such like on the bottom, are not available yet,,
but some of parts can be used from your current device.
Manual is on Dvelopers.com FTP,
Sorry for being geeky but have you seen any HTC-branded housings? It'd be pretty cool to have one.

Original battery where 2 buy?

Hi all ,
plz suggest me some good place where I get original standard battery for my Universal
thanks
Gopi
go to htc.com, choose your region and then look, if there is a link for the htc shop. When you are in Europa, there is a HTC shop, from where you can order all type of accessories.
Verry inteligent question!
Did you think there only one place in the world to get it from?
You should have mensioned the country
http://www.batteryexpress.org.uk/pda-battery/BATTERYPRODUCT.php/DOPOD/11218/PU16A/#
I have ordered one of this. It has 1 yr warranty. Hope it will come for another 1 year, atleast a year
I have about 3-5 brand new ones knocking about will have to dig them out.
they are genuine
£10 each inc p&p (to UK)
some are slightly scuffed as they have been sitting in a draw for about 4 months.
pm me if you want one.
Hi Karzi, I just sent you a PM regarding my interest in one of your batteries.

[Q] How to check whether my HTC DHD is original or not?

Hi everyone,
Could you tell me some techniques to ensure that whether my HTC Desire HD and Sensation XE are original or not. There is a big difference in price (~$150) between 2 shops and they are recommended by people.
This is my first time in xda-developers. If there is any mistakes or problems, please let me know.
Thanks all in advance,

What do you exactly mean by original?
maybe one is a used phone and one is new?
actually if i go to a local store they would sell a lot of phones for 100-150 dollars more than you can get it for on amazon or ebay (i recommend buying B-products with no display scratches because display is the only thing that is important to be perfect (i use a otterbox anyways) and it comes with 1 year warranty in germany)
my dhd got a cut in the sim-card cover next to the screen. i replaced the cover and the phone looks perfectly new. saved me around 40€ (60-70 dollars) to amazon price and i think about 100-150 dollars on my local electronic markets

Getting it in the UK

Hi all,
From all that I have seen it doesn't look like the ZL will be officially available in the UK. As such the options for buying a C6503 model are:
Import from Europe
It's quite expensive at the moment, and the retailer which should have no problems shipping abroad (Amazon) had the highest price of them all last time I checked. I can definitely see this working fine, with the German version having en_GB locale support and playing nicely with the operators.
Import from Asia (ie HK)
From Expansys (http://www.expansys.com.hk/sony-xperia-zl-lte-c6503-unlocked-16gb-black-247249) the total works out cheaper by about £60, with the shipping not being much slower. The other positives are that in HK they use the same power plugs as in the UK (no need to mess with power adaptors), and en_GB would definitely come preloaded as a locale. The only worry is that the manufacturer model quoted is 'AP_C6503_BLK', where the 'AP' stands for the Asia-Pacific version. I'm wondering whether this could have any implications on the hardware and software. I suppose as software goes it should always be possible to reflash it to a German firmware, but I can't help but think that something could be different.
Also found this: http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=21943
Despite coming up on Google Shopping with good reviews, I found other review websites which seemed to suggest the opposite. They also claimed to have had it in stock two or three weeks ago (I've been following this page for a while), when it wasn't even released in Europe. Both of these make me think that this website is a bit dodgy, and make me wonder where the device originally comes from (HK, Germany, Russia?).
I'm seriously inclining towards the second option, but I'm wondering whether anyone around here has previous experience or some information that might be able to help make the best choice.
Thanks.
Amazon Germany and Amazon Italy now have it for circa €560.
Nooo!! do not buy from simply electronics! I had an awful experience and a quick Google will give you the same feedback.
I am in the UK. Love the phone.
I bought mine from eBay from a seller in HK. Took 2 days to arrive via FedEx $599
Seller: jetcodigital
Expect to pay import tax although they did send as a gift with value of $100 so you might be lucky.

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured about Simply Electronics.
So presumably the device you have is an Asia-Pacific version. Did you notice any differences or oddities when it came to the software/hardware?
Thanks for the feedback, I haven't actually checked eBay yet but will give it a quick look.
Hi I haven't noticed anything strange yet. Seems like the right version for me. No odd software or anything. I'm using it on three UK. Everything has worked great right out of the box. Very pleased.
Now I can sell my htc ONE. ( ZL camera is better )

Another 3 uk user here, got my 6503 for ~£500 after shipping and tax from the states seller: never-msrp.
Even works on 3's secret LTE
Only issue is the US AC adapter.
I am gonna buy a white 6503 version from the German site; Cyberport.de
They can send it to several countries and the prices for that aren't that high.
The phone itself will cost you €550,00 and the shipping to the Netherlands (where I live) are only €13,00.
They've got the black version in stock, and the white version (that I want) is gonna be there in several days.
If you want to check out other stores in Germany:
Geizhals.de: black Sony Xperia ZL
Geizhals.de: white Sony Xperia ZL
Geizhals.de: red Sony Xperia ZL
Well, I ended up buying it from Amazon.de, which worked out to pretty much £500 after shipping and currency conversion. While Expansys.com.hk would have been cheaper, I felt that the European warranty was worth the additional price.
The funny thing is that I ordered yesterday and I should get it tomorrow. Ordering a device which isn't available in the UK, from Amazon.de, and guess what? The device was in the Milton Keynes distribution centre! Seems almost ridiculous, really.
Let us know how you get on.

Yeah it will be white for me, only little thing is that the notification led is better to see on the black one I think...
But I don't like the shiny sides of the black one, and when I first saw the white version I fell in love, so that's why.
And I think the notificationbar and bar with the buttons will look better on the white, on the black ZL it looks so greyish.
I got mine today, and man... it sure looks good and feels nice. It feels a bit heavy, compared to my S3, but I'll get used to that. The screen also looks good when looking at it directly, but gets worse as soon as the viewing angle increases. Although I suppose this is a good thing, as other people trying to look at my device shouldn't see as much as on my S3! The bezel on the side looks a bit bigger than on the pictures, but it's not a big deal. Overall when looking at video or pictures fullscreen it looks stunning, since there is so little bezel.
Now, since I'm a power user, I'm wondering whether I want to unlock the bootloader or just root. I actually don't mind Sony's customisations that much (barring Chrome instead of the stock browser, and the standard Gallery app), however if CM becomes stable enough I might put it on. Perhaps just the root for locked bootloaders will be good enough for now.
Nice to know some others in the uk have one. It's an exclusive club!)
Great phone so far for me. No regrets and no disappointment. I feel the same about the viewing angles. I'm stock all the way for once so will enjoy the factory experience.
I'm trialing the battery saving features at the moment. So far today I have had some good results. I'm not one for these features normally but I thought a the phone has had them I would give it a go.

Yup
I ordered on the first day and got Black. I must say it was a bit of an impulse buy but after reading all the reviews and watching the videos I think I will be really happy!
When are they supposed to arrive?
They are supposed to ship them at the of April, so you will get them in May...
By the way, you can get the student discount applied even if you have already ordered..
Simply send them a support ticket with your order ID and voucher ID - you will get €39 back to your PayPal then.
-> final price €360.
They actually refund 40 €
That is an excellent bit of advice, thanks!
Bad news on the delivery times actually as I think I had it in my mind that it would be arriving next week . I'd better remove the ad I put up for the old phone...

Here in US it is on preorder as well. $500 looks like a good deal considering competitors SGS5 $700 and HTC 1 M8 $700 as well. I use phone mostly for playing HD music so audio chip is essential for me. Unfortunately it isn't revealed, so I only keep hope that Oppo being a company putting certain efforts on creation different consumer electronics can do audio reproduction right. I do not know how Kamerton player will look on this so high resolution screen. It can switch to tablet mode and I would like to avoid it.
Anybody else consider SGS5 and HTC 1 and what was your take?

I've just placed my order yesterday as well.
nice to see another UK user here! XD
Just got the student discount applied! Sweet, thank you Oppostyle
I ordered mine last week. The black US version. Looking forward to it. I hope they start shipping soon!! :good:
I considered both of these but ultimately went with the Oppo because the price was right for an off -contract phone and I'll want to pick up a new one next year after seeing the Qualcomm 2015 roadmap, so not prepared to get tied into an 18-24 month contract!
Also I wanted to give Oppo a chance, they seem to be taking some risks in terms of phone design and I've had the last two Galaxy S versions so something different is on the cards. I may well be the only person in Ireland that buys one, but if there are any other Irish buyers out there you don't have to feel lonely anymore!

S5 and M8 are huge disappointments for me... Oppo Find 7a seems to be a perfect phone for me... Just the Color OSwith Android 4.3 and the huge display are things I am not that happy about... But we will see
Picked up mine last month in an Oppo shop in Shenzhen while I was traveling around in China. Very happy with it so far, although I wasn't able to install Google services until yesterday.
Eagerly waiting for some custom roms now!
@vegetaleb: The screen is pretty good under sunlight I'd say. I found the screen to be brighter and clearer than my HTC One M7.
Are the speakers loud enough?
YES! When you turn on MaxxAudio, you'll want to go into the settings right away and turn down the volume. I haven't compared the quality of the speaker to my HTC One yet (it has stereo speakers in the front feat. Beats), but with MaxxAudio turned on you can crank up the bass, treble, volume, etc. This way the sound is pretty awesome for a phone! It's And when using your ear/headphones the sound is just perfect.

Can you say something about the battery life in standby? Would be interesting to know for me who much the device drains per hour when in standby.
