[Q] HTC ONE X Taiwan VS China Manufactured

Hi guys. As HOX is facing bugs and issues, I searched a lot about it and I recently came to know that Taiwan manufactured model is performing better as compared to those manufactured in china. Still Confused with it

same as that.

Same here Taiwan.. zero build defects, non to mild software issues (not related to the manufacturing)

mine is from Taiwan as well, it is functioning just fine. I have had no problems yet, and I dont expect to have anything hardware related. Just software if anything.

I ordered 2 white One X's. Both are made in Taiwan. One got resizing screen issue and was sending back for replacement. Another one isn't has any issues(yet).

So it's clear that build quality of taiwan product is better. Guys please keep this in mind before buying. I am a bit dissapointed by HTC regarding the issues that are faced in such high end devices

i agree with you guys.
my experienced with my previous devices, htc hd2 (2 devices, taiwan and china), desire s (china), sensation (taiwan):
on hd2 the taiwan one works great but has dull screen colors, altough the china one has great screen colors, but distorted speaker on max volume, and already broke in less than a year (restarted in loop).
desire s, has a build quality defect, like backlight bleeding and there is a space between screen glass and the body. but works fine.
sensation, no problem at all.

i just wonder if there are chinise phones out there?
anyone got a chinese one?
mine is also taiwan and without, or jut with very little faults

Taiwan here, running perfect. So glad I didn't import.

Got mine today. Taiwan manufactured, speaker quality is terrible at high volume. I'm not particularly fussy about sound quality but this is ridiculous.

Mine is Chinese and its working flawlessly. Only software issues are a problem.

Taiwan model here, sent back due to a host of build issues.

Chinese model and no problems.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Chinese model here minor issues with screen flickering and my wifi not connecting properly to my router at 40mhz (works fine on other routers and at 20mhz on my router).

China manufactured, everything's perfect apart from 1 virtually unnoticeable dead pixel.

China's manufactured here, 100% perfect, no build problems or anything. If anything, I think it's just the software.

help me my friends

I'm not new to HTC i owned my diamond for many years now but i wanted to got my new HTC ONE X
plz help me coz all the web sites sells the china version and i only trust the Taiwan version of any HTC
can any one tell me about a site that sells the Taiwanese one x?
i need a web site that somebody got his Taiwanese one x from it
HTC...... quietly brilliant

I don't think there's anywhere that will allow you to pick your phone by serial number. Get the phone and if anything is wrong with it return it for a replacement. I'd recommend Amazon as they've the best return service.

By the way, the China version seems to have less problems from what I can gather on the forums.
I had the diamond, the early days of sense, glad it has improved.

yup the chinese versions are bad, get the taiwan one

there is absolutely nothing wrong with my Chinese version.

Goto any mobile shop and choose HOX starting from ht serial number . You can check serial number from box.

You would not say that if you got my first handset. I had the yellow spot on mine and a few others in another forum has flickering issues with the Chinese handsets.

You can say the same thing about the Taiwanese models as well. It's a crapshoot as to whether or not you get a good phone from either country. We have no idea if Chinese or Taiwanese models are better because we're not privvy to HTC's returns records.
If you want one, order it from a reputable company and if it's defective, return it. It's as simple as that.

Well put it this way I'd rather get one made from Taiwan than CHina because China has bad QC compared to others.
I've been reading more chinese handsets having issues comapred to the ones made in Taiwan.

And I've read more Taiwanese models have had issues, therefore Taiwan must have crappier QC...
This is my point. It doesn't matter what you've read, because there's always going to be another thread saying the other model is worse. The best the OP can do is order one from a reputable website and return it if it's defective.

I don't agree sorry because everything that is made from china is just poor quality. You are entitled to your opinion. I know if I had a choice I would rather get a product made in Taiwan or Singapore over the ones made in China.

You are entitled to your own opinion as well, but saying "everything made from china is just poor quality" is an asinine statement.

My phone is an SH23 model (Chinese) and it's been perfect so far. Hopefully yours is too.

Mine is also SH23 and it's perfect.

Sh23 here.
All good since launch day!

My Desire HD was made in Taiwan and I too wanted a taiwanese HOX. Luckily the first phone I picked up in the store (one of the reasons I didn't buy it online was to check the sn before buying) was HT24 and it's flawless. I can totally understand why the OP wants a TW phone.

Amazon UK (temporarily) stop selling White One X

Amazon UK have put a stop-sell on the white One X apparently due to quality concerns. A colleague was told he couldn't have his faulty One X replaced and they could only offer a refund at this time. He called up to ask why, and they said there had been "quality concerns".
If you go to the Amazon UK page you will see:-
Item Under Review
This product is not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because a customer recently told us that the item he or she received was not as described.
We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you may still find this product available from other sellers on this page.

Strangely they are still selling the grey one.

good going HTC...

Probably related to the white back not being quite as impervious as they thought. One of the reasons I got the grey one... nothing stays clean in the same house as my 1 year old.

They might not listen to us lot on xda but I bet they'll take notice when a company as large as Amazon expresses concerns and stops selling the product.

yes i guess they don't know what to say lol

It doesn't look like Amazon are selling the grey one either. If you select grey it shows the seller as webtrader instead of directly from Amazon.
Or is this normal? I've noticed that the seller seems to change every day anyway. Sometimes direct from Amazon, other times not. Is that when they run out of stock or something?

Not sure why its not displaying for you but I just double checked and I can definitely still order a grey one from Amazon UK directly from them (not a seller). I would not be at all surprised if the grey ones are pulled as well shortly. I don't think the issue is to do with anything specific about the white casing.

nothing to do with color
white is selling more = more complaints lol

I received a replacement grey from Amazon today (shipped yesterday) so they must still have some. Batch number HT241W - hopefully a good one! Not had time to test it yet.

Sad to hear this, o2 also unhappy with the return rate they're getting on the One X.

That's what I'm saying...

Currently 16 sellers of the grey model on Amazon - including Amazon. I think they only direct a portion of the search results to their own product, otherwise the other retailers would never get a look in. Look at the "More Buying Choices" column on the right hand side.
I'm betting that Amazon have returned their stock of the white one, which is why they can't offer returns. I got one from them last Friday, HT23Z (and thus far problem free) so I suspect all their stock was HT23. When they start selling the white one again I reckon they'll have a later batch.

I am an Amazon prime customer so I think it is prioritising the one sold by Amazon directly for me because of the included next day service on it. Sometimes it favours the "cheapest" vendor, which is 15 pounds lower than Amazon directly.....so maybe thats why it showed that one in this case.

Ah that makes sense. The randomness is pretty annoying though. I wished they'd just default to Amazon and let you see the other seller prices.

Well done HTC
But officially there isn't any problem ...

i noticed that message the first time recently while looking at 3d computer monitors. one of them can only be bought from a third party seller because of too many Amazon returns.

Manufacture date solution.

hi everyone, I think I found out how to see what manufacturing date you have. I found it in the HTC One S thread. You have to take a look at the Serial Number on your box, starting with S/N. The first four digits are the relevant ones. I have a HT23TTV00312. Like I said, the first four digits. In my case: HT23.
The number 3 means that it's the third month of the year, meaning March. I got this phone replaced for my old One V, that one had:HT24, meaning April. I regret that I sent my April One V back because the March version is even worse, gonna send this one back as well.
People over at the One S thread say this method of seeing the manufacturing date is 90% correct. So can you guys verify this? Do any of you have: HT25, meaning the month may?, I wonder if the may phones have problems like yellow spots.
Thanks!

I'm not sure bout my actual manufacture date but mine is HT23, not much problem except the rubber area gets extremely dark in colour after some use....

I've got HT23 and there is dust under my display and the headphone sound is terrible.
This would mean I already have the march version so it can't get much worse when I'll send it back

absolutely correct it is
my sn is SH25
which means may
and its correct my production is of may as it's already written on. our indian boxes thanks for sharing +

I have HT24 which is April and I have problems with the following:
-Speaker (I hear a *poc* sound now and then when in a call).
- Too spots of yellow color in the lower part of the screen
- Light leak from the buttons
- Incorrect placement of the back cover of the camera.
Tomorrow I will get my replacement hopefully it will be one made in may.

Well, I thought that it was march, but it was April. And I've replaced my phone with one from May and I have no problems (it is also imported from Asia). The only problem remaining now is that I cannot use one specific carrier because it is locked. I can use only Vodafone and Cosmote and I need Orange carrier!

The two first letters indicate what factory the phone has been made in. It's either HT or SH for production units, or MB for repair centre swap units.

First: HT24 - yellow spots
Second: HT23 - yellow spots
Third: (guy in service center give me to choice from 4 pieces of them) SH25 - no problems.
HT mean manufacture in Taiwan, SH manufacture in China.

My is HT25, except some really small light leak from the buttons I don't have any problems with it.

Howdy guys, just bought my One V to replace my desire.
Mine was bought in Calgary, Canada serial SH26 (June manufacture).
Had it since Monday morning, playing with it loooots, no problems so far. I even dropped it on the ice showing one of my speedskaters a burst shot of her corners, no damage!

[Q] Third party charger in a brand new HTC One X box? Is that normal?

Title says it all.
I've purchased the device about a week ago and I noticed it just now(after searching the web about the scrolling issue, which apparently caused by using a 3rd party charger).
Did someone else encounter this? Is that normal? If not, What should I do?

No it isn't. May of been imported from China (Hong Kong) for cheap, and sold to you and many others. Just google 'eCell', the fraudulent company selling on Ebay. Anyway, as they use different plugs they either give you no charge or one like you have. Any Chinese writing anywhere?

Okay I did some more Google research apparently a lot of retailers here(Israel) put a samsung charger for some reason.

If it's all over the box, i think you've been had. Call HTC customer services, give them the imei and they'll tell you where it's from. Alternatively check your cid. Is it htc__622? Get cid checker from the store.

Install and check what ro.cid is.

In the xda hox general section everything is possible.

It's a Taiwanese company, so the Chinese writing didn't come off as weird to me.
Anyway switching the HOX chargers seems like a common practice here. The only place that sells original HTC chargers is the official importer. I think I'll just buy it from them.

So in your country it's normal, 'your own question answered'. Well done!

Hong Kong has "British socket" and electronics are not much if any cheaper here. They're cheap in Shenzhen.

If you want to purchase on ebay, I recommend rose528400, as that is where I purchased my phone from. As far as I know, the phone is near flawless. Now that I checked it, the international version has become surprisingly cheap. Not trying to advertise here, thanks.

That is wrong. The touch screen bug is caused by a dirty power connection. My house power connection would work fine and the touch screen works very well but at my work (which is a very old building) I have tons of touch screen bugs because of the dirty power connection.

afaik its not the charger that filters, should be the phone (i base this on the fact my dhd doesn't have problems with both htc chargers), whereas the hox has problems with both .
after repair (and update to 2.17), the problem went away, but since i flashed viperx and faux kernel, the bloody problem came back! it hardly does it with my original charger, but really bad with the dhd charger (both original htc ones)
