Hi guys,
As HTC One X is not official in my country yet, there are some mobile shop sellers selling HTC One X for 500 euros. Yet, I have no clue where are they coming from, and the worse I don't know whether there is any difference between a German, Czech, Italian, French or whatsoever HTC One X...
As I am planning to buy one, I would appreciate your help.
If there is any difference, how can you tell for which country it is designated?
Best,
F.
I believe there's not difference, other than the AC plug. But I'm interested on that 500€ deal... Is it legit? Where?
you would have different power plugs and would need the right adapter, and also OTA updates from HTC would come at different times.
firmware would be different I believe.
I know ones from Asia etc....have the asian RUU firmware and radios etc...I think thats how it works at least
I assume it is the RUU and Radio only, besides the plug... the seller told me that they have been imported from Dubai and I got a great deal... I am returning my used HD2, and getting a brand new One X for 350 EUR.
Thnx for the feedback guys!
F.
I'm getting the One X today. I'm in Lebanon, so I'm not really sure where the thing is coming from, but my friend is buying it for me from his friend in Beirut, which is an area I trust more than where I am. Will the phone still get updates when I'm back home on AT&T? Because I heard about that 4.0.4 update and the battery sounds amazing. I'm coming from the HTC Vivid, and my battery doesn't last more than an hour anymore.

it should. i have an int'l one x, uk version, on at&t (at&t go phone microsim) and have been getting updates on the same schedule as the uk.
How can I tell from where it is? I haven't gotten it yet, but not really sure from where its coming.

i purchased mine from a uk seller. it came in a box marked taiwan, so that's how i deduced it was manufactured in taiwan. i assumed my phone was for the uk, but i wasn't totally certain, because the language choices were pretty diverse. however, when the most recent ota update was rolled out, the update was not available for my one x (and i did check daily) until it was made available for the uk.
there are probably better ways of determining origin - try a forum search - but my one x worked well from day one, so i did not have the same incentive as some others to try to actually determine for which country it was designed.
Alright, thank you. I will have the phone pretty soon. I am very excited right now!

Quick question guys, does the international One X have warranty in the US? I just received mine from Amazon and the label on the box says "...-Warranty-..."
There is also documentation inside the box about a warranty but I am unsure if it's effective here in the US. Thanks

i think one possibility is to check amazon's warranty policies if you bought through them. i believe they treat sold items differently depending on whether they were the direct retailer or the intermediary for another retailer.

They sell it as: "HTC One X S720e Cellphone - No Warranty - White" but the box and documentation says otherwise lol. I guess i'll have to call them.
I am living in Japan and I definitely want to buy the new HTC 10.
I am concerned thus that I could have problem to root it or unlock the bootloader since it's my first time to buy a phone here in Japan, not sure if that could be a problem.
I was considering to ask my friend to send it to me from UK, to have a European version.
What do you guys think? Would it be fine if I buy it here then root it as I always did?
Thanks in advance!
In Japan, too, and will be snapping this baby up hopefully when Au releases it in June (my guess, based on past summer releases and what I have seen on HTCsoku). I've had no issues unlocking and getting s-off on HTC phones (Desire then the M7, my current phone) here in the past, so I don't see why we'd have any issues this time. Hopefully, we'll get some joy from Sunshine soon enough and can find out for sure.

I was a bit concerned as I own a UK M8 now with a BiCSim provider sim card, but it seems like I cannot get a 4G signal, as I don't have band 1 unlocked on this phone.
For this reason I was a bit worried, you never know...
Just out of curiosity, what kind of ROMs are u flashing on your HTC? I mean, is there a thread specifically made for Japanese phones/ROMs?
Thanks again!
No probs. It's early days yet for everyone, things being tested, guides being made, so keep an eye on the forum. Very few people even have the phone at this point, and we are still at least a month away from Japan release. Be patient, grasshopper.
I have TWRP and still have stock on my old M7. Was easy-peasy. As far as Japan-specific phones go, in the past they have basically just been one or two sub-threads within the particular phone's forum. There are a few XDA folk based in Japan, but not so many HTC users - who knows, I haven't fiddled with my phone for almost two years, so there may be more these days). Best idea is to keep an eye out here and on local HTC fansites (like HTCsoku, as I mentioned - you might need Japanese ability to get the most out of them, mind you).

Yep, checked the HTCsoku website, seems interesting, but too hard for me now, still a rookie..
Anyway much appreciation for your precious info, thanks again!

HTC in Japan
Also living in Japan. I have the HTC One rooted with Android Revolution HD 92.0 installed. I have a Rakuten Mobile sim card and LTE works fine (when available which is not at many places).
I am also planning on buying the HTC 10. I haven't yet found the detailed differences between the different versions but the Asian version may be preferable to the European version (at least that's what I decided for the HTC One).

True, I checked also on the amazon UK website and its definitely cheaper, around 85.000 yen, about 550£.
I still have a 50£ voucher on Amazon UK, still thinking to buy it there and ask my friend to send it to me, I guess even with the delivery will be much cheaper.

If you look here the price is cheaper on amazon.de:

The only thing is I am not sure the HTC10 sold in Europe is exactly the same one that is sold in Asia

This is the only thing I am worried infact, because my M8 currently doesn't work with LTE here, but is basically a 2 years old phone, at that time 4G was still kind of new.
For a while I will keep looking..
I should have looked better: there are apparently only two versions available, US and EMEA (see here: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_10-7884.php).
For Japan, the bands available are not that great.
Docomo is mostly on bands 1, 3 and 19.
AU on bands 1, 11 and 18.
Softbank on bands 1, 3 and 8.
The HTC 10 EMEA version is on bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40 and 41.
The US version is on bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 20, 28, 29 and 30.
If you are on AU, you have only one band available whatever the HTC 10 version chosen.
If you are on Softbank, the EMEA version has all three bands covered.
With Docomo, either versions are possible (only two bands covered)
This was my main concern, if the HTC 10 EMEA would cover the LTE signal or not, hope it will work with my BiC SiM card, I am using Docomo carrier.
I am wondering if 2 bands are enough for a decent LTE signal thus, but if we really will have only 2 HTC 10 version, it should work..

So... anyone in Japan purchased and rooted the HTC 10 (HTV32) yet? Just about ready to make the visit to the AU store and say sayonara to my M7. I have been looking for experiences on unlocking and rooting on Japanese sites... can't see anyone having done it as yet. I am guessing jcase's method (sticky on the HTC10 forum) will work with this one just as well, but always nice to see others do these things on the exact same version of device prior to diving in yourself (well, for relative noobs like myself, it is less nerve-wracking!)

I bought my HTC 10 from Amazon and I noticed that it has been delivered from Taipei, of course Asia firmware.
No problem here working flawlessly, S-OFF, unlocked bootloader, Lee Droid ROM, ElementalX Kernel.

Awesome - used the method I mentioned? (jcase) I assume it was already unlocked. Which carrier you using, btw? Amazon: might look into that.
Actually I don't even know what is "Jcase" method.
I always follow xda's guide.
I don't have a contract by the way, just using iijimio monthly sim card plan.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to tell you that the HTC 10 I bought is not the Japanese version you mentioned, here:

No sure if this is the right thread but for the Japanese HTC 10 models, what keyboard is installed to input Japanese?
With US models, TouchPal is installed and that does not have a Japanese option.

Touchpal does have Japanese input, I am actually using it.
Just click on top of the keyboard on the "world icon" and add Japanese.

Mine doesn't seem to have it. Can you show me how you added Japanese? (Are you using a Japanese model of HTC 10?)
Thanks!
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)
