Phones4u ibeats

Got home today to find a delivery from phones4u, my set of ibeats worth £80.
Good timing as my current set has just broken, now bring on my Htc media link.

Mine arrived this morning from Dialaphone too. Unfortunately I can't get the controller to work though - I can only use the play/pause button.

How did you get these? Thought we only got the media link from phones 4 u.

I'm not sure of phones4u's offer but Dialaphone's official twitter account confirmed (a week or so before the release) that the One X would come with beats headphones so after mine arrived I gave Dialaphone a call and complained about the lack of beats headphones and they sent me a set out. Some people got offered a cheque varying from £30-80 instead.

I complained because the website quoted that the phone came with beats headphones which I didn't get. I got a screenshot showing this in another thread from this forum.

Sky Go On The One X

Newbie here folks, go easy!
Basically I'm just trying to get some info on the Sky Go app coming to the One X. I have had numerous emails back and forward with Sky and they are just like politicians when it comes to answering questions on the subject. I got this from them yesterday but it's a cop out. They say they are working on getting the best selling phones sorted first. How can they say the One X is not one of the best selling phones? My angered increased this week when I noticed the app was rolled out across 3 Samsung devices, again, ignoring the One X. I upgraded from a Desire to this phone and the Desire ran it without any bother. It's disgraceful how they're dragging their heels on this. anyway, this is what they sent yesterday:
sky.com/helpcentre/sky-go-on-android/
Example:
"Why is Sky Go only available on selected HTC and Samsung smartphones?
The Android platform covers a wide range of devices that have differing hardware and versions of the Android operating system. We have to tailor the Sky Go app for each smartphone to ensure our customers with these handsets get the optimum Sky Go experience which takes considerable time to build and test before we can release it. Factors we need to consider include:
HDMI out - The majority of new Android smartphones include the option to plug your phone into your TV through your HDMI port. We have to disable this feature so that we do not breach our contracts with content providers, and the process for doing this is different for each model.
Screen resolutions - Each device has a different screen resolution which we need to optimise in order to deliver the best picture quality on each device.
Media Player - There are several different built in media players. We must adjust our content stream in order to provide an optimum stream with minimal disruption.
Given these constraints, we have chosen to launch on a selection of the most popular Android smartphones based on their sales volumes to ensure as many Sky TV customers as possible can enjoy Sky Go.
We are aware of unofficial versions of Sky Go for Android devices. Please note that these will not be supported by Sky."

Thanks Shankly, I'll root out that link if its still around. You've been more help to me this morning than Sky has been in 3 months!

Wow that was quick!!! Thanks!!

I'd personally take it with a pinch of salt until we actually see it - wouldn't be surprised if Sky don't release it for the One X!

i don't understand why they need to disable hdmi out? if you're paying for the service to watch on a tv, then why the hell can't you watch it on a tv?

They'll release it the day after the One X gets JB.

You can watch sky go on a laptop with hdmi out so why make android different

Just a heads up, tried sky go on my desire hd and it refused to run because it was rooted, something to bare in mind when it does eventually come.

voodoo worked fine on my Galaxy S2 but doesn't seem to work on my HOX.
Is there anyway of watching sky go on laptop/Pc then streaming/watching via our HOX?

Not having sky go in the UK must be coasting HTC sales big time,if its a choice between one x with no sky go or the S 3 with it how many Joe public will just go for the S3
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I think sky are pulling a fast one as i can get sky on my pc & it has hdmi & is connected to a 24 inch 1080p monitor, makes the argument about the one x not getting sky go very lame.

Which one is better to use as nexus, one x or s3?

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.

HTC and Play station Mobile giving out free games for sense 4+ users.

Do you have a sense 4+ device and love playing games on it? Well your in luck because HTC and Play station Mobile are being generous enough to give out free PS Mobile games to anyone with a HTC device with Sense 4+. Every week has a new game starting February 1st and the first game is Cubixx.

This might have been mentioned in the Apps and themes thread before this official announcement, I managed to get Samurai Beatdown back on 17th Jan for free, Lemmings is there still now
But I agree, a good move for HTC to try and get some better media attention hehe

Tells me that the service isn't available in my region/country!!!

You can try a service like Shipito, and order it from Amazon or BestBuy.

I only see the 2012 model on the Googe Play store. Not out yet in Canada?
