[Q] Hardware Differences Between Versions of HDH

I am going to buy a Desire HD in the next day or two in Beijing. Some of the sellers are saying things like 'I have the xx version so its a bit more expensive' and according to my research I've found that there may be:
Taiwan version
Mainland Version
Hongkong Version
European Version
Asia Pacific Version
So my question is... Does it make any difference. Ive heard claims of difference is signal quality which would mean different radio hardware of some kind.
The other claim I've heard is that there are quality control differences between market versions.
Anyone got anything real on this?

There are only 2 versions of the DHD. One is the version of Telus, and the normal version that any1 else has. The telus version has some problems with sound on some custom roms, but there are fixes for it.
However, there are some differences between the normal dhds also. There are 2 different screens (sharp and au optronics) and 2 types of touch panels (synaptics and atmel). The only difference is that sharps screen is slightly better, but you nearly wouldn't notice the difference between those two displays.
You can flash any custom rom on the normal dhd, doesn't matter which display and touchpanel you have
maybe there are some differences with the signal quality, but this is related to the software and not to the hardware.
Normally all versions should have the same good (or bad) quality. A friend of mine bought his DHD at the same store where I bought mine, his has a blurry camera and a bad sim cover

I talked to a few sellers on taobao and the line they are all using is that you won't be able to get OTA updates if you have the european version and you live here in Asia. I told him that wasn't an issue for me and I bought a european version because they were selling it a few hundred RMB cheaper.
In the end I think its nothing more than a way to increase profit because based on the keyboard languages available I have an asia pacific version..

as i'm just a little far from China, i can't give you specific advice, but you should read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902385
it sounded a little scary to me, but to make a long story short, except for Telus all DHD are virtually the same, with no hardware differences, i bought mine from singapore and it is exactly like my friend's one that was bought from UK.
you can consider Inspire 4G a DHD too, but it's other story! ehehehe

singapore vs. uk version

Hi I buy my HOX from Singapore is any difference to UK version?. I have just 3m on att. Thanks to all.

I don't think there are any differences besides language packs and default installed software. I haven't checked if radio versions vary between countries, I guess it's possible, but there hasn't been much interest on here, since you can't flash a radio.
About the only tangible difference is when you receive updates.

[Q] HK Version: NO LTE?

I'm trying to decide if I should order the HK Version now or wait a few weeks until the Korean model is available for import at the store I use.
After checking the Samsung HK website however, it seems LTE is totally absent from the HK version. Can anyone confirm?

LTE HK version will be out late Oct. or early Nov. per Samsung official press.

Problem with firmware - showing up as HKG?

Hey guys I have the UK version of G3 its 855 version
I flashed the 10a Europe firmware and in the settings it showed v10a-HKG-XX
Then I redownloaded the europe firmware and it still showed the same
Then I used my IMEI to check which version is for my device and downloaded that and it still says HKG - at the moment it says v10h-HKG-XX
So is this not a UK version phone, i got it from amazon?

If less than 14 days I recommend you contact Amazon customer services and request a replacement. Even if bought from Amazon market place. You may find as I did with a Singapore version I received, that I could not get LTE connectivity. The firmware is tied the IMEI.

that was indeed the case thank you so much - amazon accepted it back for a full refund - back to my nexus 5... was a nice run with G3

Hey Syphern, Sounds like the same one i had. Was it from SkynetShopping [emoji12] saying it was uk version and stock held and sent by Amazon? I had one the other day. Set it up and let it do it's updates then checked the version and it said hkg not eur versions, I also had no 4g.
I called LG support which where very helpful and i told them the imei to which they confirmed it was a none UK handset and would have no warranty cover!
Sent it straight back for refund and went in to Carphone warehouse and got one which is all good. [emoji3]

Ways to get HTC 10 in case of inavailability in your country?

Hello guys,
first off let me tell you that I've been waiting for HTC 10 for a freaking long time since it came out. But...
I live in Czech Republic and the latest model isn't available here yet. Also according to official dealership release date is still unknown.
I am kind of hesitant to get one from another state since It might be tricky to claim warranty if needed, not saying that buying one from UK or DE informs me right away that shipping to CZ is not possible. So I would like to ask you guys, do you have any experience getting a device from abroad and what way would you recommend to get one? (version with Hi-Res earphones included is kinda mandatory for me )
I am too eager to wait even longer, my M8 was a wonderful companion for more than last two years, but I wanna get something fresh for a change
I will appretiate every comment and advice thanks!

I'm your neighbour, live in Poland.
Lucky we have HTC 10 official available, also shipping possible from UK and DE.
I have two HTC 10, one polish carbon grey, and red version 64 gb rom from ebay. When I ordered from ebay Czech Republic was included to international shipping (only Brasil, Mexico and Albania excluded)
