Silver Desire - losing finish going brown - HTC say not covered on warranty!

Hi there,
As you can see from the title Im a bit hacked off with HTC. I have a desire myself which I am really happy with, so bought the other half a new silver one on Ebay (originally from Holland!?).
Anyway they say its not covered under warranty, she has had it less that 3 months and the silver is just disappearing.
Anyone else had problems with the silver model or warranty?
Many Thanks,
Mark.

DEAD One X, in search for a good parts seller...

Hi all,
I have a One X (thanks god mine is fine ) and my cousin had another. His One X is now DEAD, it worked fine for about 15 days, but after a fall from a height of about 1,2m (4 feet) it simply turned off a refused to turn on again.
It doesn't turn on the led while trying to charge, it doesn't respond to any command.}
I have oppened his One X (I have a lot of experience fixing simple stuff inside phones) and didn't find anything out of the ordinary in it. Nothing abnormal.
We have already sent it to a repair store here in Brazil (and now you know part of my problem) and the store told us there was a problem in the main board and that they can't fix it.
So I'm asking you guys, can you give me an address (online one) of a good and respected phone parts store? That way I could change his board and give life back to his phone.
I have changed some parts of his phone iwth mine, and the parts are working (screen is without a single scratch and works), antennas, power connector and etc...
So the problem should really be the main board (the one with the Tegra 3 in it).
Please treat it as a no warranty device, we already gave up sending the device to england to fix it. UK UNLOCKED GREY DEVICE!
Thanks in advance.

I already buy a battery on this site and no problem.

Thanks, I've seen they do have the main board, but it is unavaiable and saing to ask them about it. I will do it, since I want to help my cousin with his phone, and do think they probably don't have it in stock because it is probably an item that doesn't have the same number of requests as smaller or more breakable (screen for example) items.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep you posted about the results.
Greetings, Santroph.

I hope for you and your cousin that you find a solution to this problem.

open a thread there....you got better chance selling it there and that is were you should have posted mate...just for future reference..ask a mod to move this thread for you there and rename the title of your thread...

I don't think the main can be available anywhere..as it costs as much as a new phone..
It's impossible to get unless some1 has a scrap phone..
For everything else check this site : http://www.etradesupply.com

Well I'm not really tring to sell it, or even buy a used Main Board (although that could work also). The main reason is to try to fiz the phone, and not sell as a broken one. What TG64 sent me was a nice store that do have the Main Board. I just don't know yet how much it would cost, and if it would be a prohibitive price or not.
When I get to know I'll surely post it here.
Main boards shouldn't cost as much as a phone. Even if they are a big part of the cost, the screen is also another big part of the cost of a complete phone. In my opinion the price for each should be more like 35% of a new phone for the main and 30% for the screen.
If it is like that, it surely is better than buying a whole new phone.
Cheers,
Santroph.

warranty claim help

hello guys. I just bought a pre owned one v, sadly It has some yellow spots on the screen. But its still under warranty. My question is, Can I use the reciept as proof of purchase with previous owner's name to claim warranty? All of the package is with me. Same IMEI with everything.
thank you in advance!

yup go ahead

Yeah

So even you've been a victim to those nasty glue spots... Mostly, all One Vs manufactured in April 2012 have yellow spots.... even I have a very little yellow part which is seen when I increase the brightness to its fullest and the room is completely dark ('cause its reallly a small one)..
Did you buy it from FlipKart.Com? I read about someone who got his One V replaced twice but yellow spots are there in all One Vs he got..
Looks like HTC is least bothered about this phone.. They didn't even make it proper!
Hope you get a good replacement..:fingers-crossed: Are the spots too big?

[Q] How much do you think I can get for my One X?

Hey everyone,
I'm thinking of selling my One X, and I wanted to know how much you guys thought I could get for it.
I was hoping for no less than £150-160 for it, as that'll pay off my contract.
Apart from the screen, which has quite a few light scratches on it, the rest of the phone is in excellent, almost perfect condition and it's bootloader has not been unlocked.
Also, where do you think I should put it up for sale? Ebay?
Thanks all,
LM

This ain't no buy & sell department. Check similar phones on different second hand sales/auction sites and go from there.

Red Color is Over-saturated!?!?

Hi,
I bought HTC One M8 last night and the first thing I noticed is the red color in the display! It is over-saturated. This problem lead to wrong skin tone in photos.
How can I fix this? I bought the phone because the screen is LCD and it should render correct colors for the end user.

Is it an original htc?
Maybe the screen is broken, or try some apps to adjust it.

Was it new from HTC or a carrier store? was it used? was it a refurbished?
Its entirely possible that it could have been repaired with an uncalibrated screen or something like that.

I bought it from a dealer like Best Buy in the USA. It is a new device.
I will pass to the dealer and double check the test model in the store.

iirc This phone, the M7 and a few of the HTC EVO line had some instances of this happening at first - and clears up after the first few days. Maybe do some searching here or Google?

I did my homework two days ago. I found users complained about the red color saturation in HTC Evo but no one mentioned the screen will be OK within couple of days. I will give it a week.
