[Q] HTC 10 carbon grey logos - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone!
Sorry that I'm late for the party,, but better late than never! I'm from UK and I'm planning to buy a HTC 10 carbon grey variant this week from HTC UK website. I just wanted to know one thing - Are there any logos at the back of your device other than the HTC logo? I've seen few devices with completely clean back (with only the HTC logo in the middle) and others with the CE number and other information at the bottom. I was wondering if its related to carriers or all the new devices (including the ones from HTC website) coming now sports such a logo at the back. I know that this logo is present due to the non-removable back cover, but from the pictures I've seen, these logos take away a bit of its beauty. But still, it's a great device. Just wanted to make sure of this detail.
Thanks in advance!

Did you buy it from the HTC website or is it from any carrier or any other e-commerce site?

the others are carrier specific logos when you buy along with a contract with them or without a contract too from them sometimes...
directly from htc website would give you without any other logo but only HTC

I am aware of the carrier specific logos, but my question was on the additional labels (like CE2200 etc) as seen in the picture below. I saw in some reviews, devices without those labels. I was wondering if its just pre-ordered devices or the devices coming direct from HTC. I think the clean back is much better than the one with labels.

For comparison, here is the device with just the model specified at the bottom. This has a cleaner look than the other. Not a deal breaker though, but maybe its just my OCD and feels that this looks cleaner than with lot of writings at the back.

Mine is from a carrier.

Those labels stopped being required in the US about a year ago. Most reviewers are US based so this is why their model doesn't have the labels. I'm not sure what UK law is regarding the labels.

I guess this is the answer that I wanted. I thought the labels are not needed anymore anywhere in the world. Anyways, it would have been dope to get the device just like how they portray in the ads.

Sony have the right idea.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got my phone and it had nothing but the faint HTC and the model. It looks so clean! Combined with the fact that there are no labels on the front... so nice. I'm on Verizon but I'm very glad I got the unlocked model. Finally free from their ugly check mark!

Mobilephonesdirect shipping SILVER Devices

Just letting everyone know that having questioned mobilephonesdirect.co.uk they have confirmed that the only Desires they are shipping are Silver/Graphite.
I have asked them to change the website to advise of this and to email all customers who have pre-ordered already.
They are not getting any Brown ones.
Not sure i want a silver one
Just a heads up, MPD will not deal with any customer service issue after you've taken delivery, they refer you to HTC. I had problems within a week and they wouldn't help me.

Really! I've never even seen or heard of a silver/graphite model. If this is true they'll get a fair few cancellations.

i can second this, after sales are truly rubbish, had an issue with my TP2 when I brought. Only had 10 days and they would not deal with me. Won't buy from these again soley based on there after sales.
Silver/Graphite doesn’t look so bad ? I’m getting one in few weeks.
I called mobilephonesdirect again today and they don't seem to know what's going on.
They advise that they are getting Graphite devices, but searching on-line the only colours I can find are brown or silver.
One of their staff said it would be the silver one and now another has said it is the brown
I did raise my concerns and they advised that if the phone I receive is not the one shown in the picture on their website then I can return it

hmm I have pre-ordered from MPD also and am not that hot on getting a silver one.
edit: looks like MPD are now confirming they are selling brown.
This Dutch website also offers both the Brown/Silver version:

IMO, brown > Silver.

Just received a mail from them that contradicts this. I asked them specifically if they were selling the brown which was the one used on their website, and they said...
"The handset we have depicted on our website is in fact the Brown but we will be selling the Graphite"
"graphite vs Silver" Debate
Guys,
I don't know about you all, but my definition of the colour 'Graphite' is more like a dark charcoal kind of colour instead of something that looks silver/grayish...
HTC itself only defines Silver & Brown (which is same as the hero and that is definetly more black-ish than silver-ish...)
Thus, the 'Graphite' simply must be the 'brown' version in my humble opinion.
CT
omg! I didn't think about this at all! I ordered mine from tre.se, and the confirmation says it's grey! I'm kinda disappointed. The picture on the website is brown, and you never get to choose colour during the ordering process
You have to go all the way in to the full specifications to see the colour.
Well, I'll get used to the grey one I guess....
Apparently there is also a "black" version at amazon :
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463375513&pf_rd_i=405320

This is my opinion too. The supposedly "brown" version doesn't look remotely brown either in any photo. All very confusing. How difficult can it be to choose a phone's colour name based on it's actual colour? I've pre-ordered from MPD and am not too keen on the silver version so hopefully I'm correct in thinking I'll get the one pictured.

Other people have and it doesn't sound like they know themselves. If sent the silver I'd settle for it. If I was buying the phone for it's looks I'd go for the Legend.
I'm thinking about getting one from mpd, was looking getting the payg on vodafone rather than the simfree(~£50 difference). anyone know if it'll be unlocked or not? I recently got the o2 £15/month simplicity for smart phones 12month so not looking at a new contract.
carphone warehouse and it's affilate websites(mobiles.co.uk, e2save etc) sell unlocked handsets, be it on contract or payg. so I was wondering if mpd do the same thing, some one on the ocuk forums said that they emailed asking if the phone was unlocked, but it was regarding the ones on contract so not 100% sure about the payg one.
I am a bit sceptical buying from mpd reading some of the comments on here plus reviews on them from customers on another websit(can't remember the name of the site off the top of my head). have a store like 6miles from me so hopefully they'll be more helpful then the call centre.

I think that picture is an old render from before the final design was decided on. Hence the non-standard colour, and different buttons/optical trackpad.
I don't think a black model exists.
I wouldn't worry.
The default "brown" looks great under normal light, but once you go outside and the sun beams down, the blimming phone looks a salmony pinky colour. I kid you not. My phone turns gay in the sun!!! lol
I cancelled my order from this site after reading a forum with complaints as long as your arm, loads had sent there phones back with issues and took up to 1 month to get them sorted, it seems they have very very bad after sales and i thought its not worth the hassle.

[Q] Domestic Hong Kong HTC ONE X Users...where did you buy...

Dear All,
Fellow HTC users, what store did you buy your HOX; Broadway, Fortress, One2Free, Smartone... Any bugs or glitches? What firmware did your HOX arrive with? A small initial review would be great.
Fortress
I live in England but I went to Hong Kong on holiday and I Pre-Ordered & brought my HTC ONE X Premium Pack with Beats Solo from Fortress for HK$5680
There were no hardware issues when i brought it but it had some software issues such as; jumping screen, live wallpaper stopping when scrolling, and signal problems.
The Firmware/Software number it came with is 1.26.708.2
So far this phone is awesome, super fast and smooth and fast boot up time without fast boot enabled, Sometimes it can lag but that's another software issue, hopefully HTC will fix at least some of the bugs in the next update.
Same here: Fortress $5698 with Beats Solo, 1.26.708.2
issues: photo quality is not as great as expected. quite hot at the back during gaming.
anyway, no regrets
Good stuff...
Thanks Zero and bighead.
What colour did both of you pick? Any live photos of your HOX would be great. I'm waiting till May and see if they have any OTA to be released. bighead, any new firmware updates from HTC HK? Is the phone very smooth when scrolling? Force 2D GPU work?
Thanks again.
Is it safe to buy HTC One X in Sin Tat Plaza?
Hi guys,
I'm currently in a business trip in Taiwan and going to be this upcoming Saturday in Hong-Kong for 1 day. I'm planning to buy there HTC One X, as I've heard it is cheaper than here in Taiwan (official price in Taiwan is about 20900 TWD, which is about 5550HKD).
I saw in this thread that the price for HTC One X in Sin Tat Plaza is about 4600 HKD or even 4300 HKD (if you bargain).
My question...Is it safe to buy HTC One X in Sin Tat Plaza? I don't want to buy a grey market one. I read many warnings over the forums NOT to buy from there, as they tend to 'switch' parts in the phones and also sell you 'parallel import' phones.
Can you safely recommend on Sit Tat Plaza? And/or can you recommend on somewhere else to buy it? Fortress or Broadway maybe? The problem is that the price in both Fortress and Broadway is about 5200 HKD. Do you think I can bargain on the price also there???
Thanks in advance...
Fortress, Broadway, Gome etc..

Zachig,
Stay away from sin dat. Even locals stay away. It's run by triads so try to avoid sin dat for purchasing phones. On the other hand, cases, screen protectors are safe as its rather cheap on price and selection is very good. The subjected jobs are safe for tourists and minimal price bargaining is ok say $1-200. They have stacks of phones just behind the counter so you can pick and choose which phone based on visual inspection, production dates etc.. they also bundle free screen protectors, additonal chargers, cases etc... its up to your bargaining power. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip man. I guess I'll buy then in Fortress. As a local, what do you think are my chances to get a discount (by bargain) on the HTC One X in Fortress?
I'll be staying in Novotel hotel on Nathan Road. Is there any fortress store nearby?
Hi, I pre-orderd white HOX from Smartone price at $5698, I have 10% discount and got it on the first day of release.
Everything is fine for the first machine presented to me, I'm happy with it except:
- Battery issue
- Heat issue
- Power button is not very good

Zachig,
Head over to Ocean Centre (Kowloon's largest mall right by the harbour).
1. You should walk over to Jordan MTR station.
2. Take the MTR to Tsim Tsa Tsui (TST) (Central Direction; one station away to TST).
3. Proceed to Exit A1.
4. Make a right turn after you exit onto Haiphong Road.
5. Walk 2 minutes till you get to Canton Road.
6. The Mall spans the whole block.
7. Go into any entrance and look for floor directory or ask one of the beautiful info girls.
8. All the electronics stores are located on the same floor and right across from rach other.
OR
You can walk down Nathan Road for 10 minutes till you get to Haiphong Road.
Make a right turn and head down to Canton Road.
Good luck bargaining.
All retail....
Fortress and Broadway are selling HOX w/o beats headphones for $5180.

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.

maybe they will wake up now... or probably more reseller need to do the same until htc is going to listen to the community and not just ignore us.

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.

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 ...

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.

Finally Got the Phone

Took the plunge. Seems enough people care about the phone it will get some love. I have the Chinese model, and am so glad I waited. They just started releasing all black models instead of the nasty gold/black (if you liked that combo good on you, but I could not stand it and was going to get a white one). Here are some pics of mine. Now, 14 day wait to unlock (yay?). Wife had some good logic behind that, it is in case people return the device. Most online sellers here will only take a return within 7 days, you could do a lot to and with the phone in that time.

Hi there I have had my phone for 12 days (11 yesterday) and was able to get a unlock code instantly from the Chinese Huawei website: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply and by following the guide from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701. The website does loop back to the login page a few times but I just kept repeating till I managed to get to the application page for the unlock code. After filling in the form the code itself was presented onscreen as soon as I clicked apply so good luck!
Thanks for the reply. That site is just a mirror of the English one posted before. It still just kicks back a "you need 14 days..." Wondering though, did you set up the huawei account and such on your device?

Yes I did but when I tried to enter it on the website it said it was linked with another website so I created a new account from my backup email directly on the website itself. I had more luck on the Chinese site than the English one as that would not even show some options for me.

Yeah, being in China I tried the English site first then the Chinese, haha, seriously I did. Might call them and ask, they might just phone jump to the engineering area where someone will do it and give it to me. Or I suppose I could go to one of hundreds of shops that will do it. Lets see if Huawei can be good to me.

I remember being able to get a phone unlocked for next to nothing then the more the fancier phones came out the more shops charged a LOT to unlock. Good luck with contacting Huawei themselves and here's hoping they will be kind. I dunno how I managed to get a unlock code really quick as I nearly gave up then tried the Chinese site which as soon as I entered the details presented my code instantly on screen. Are you planning on Installing the Nougat beta once you have unlocked your device?

Shops here in China are really cheap still, finding one that knows what they are doing is another thing. Nope, will stick with MM until official release. I am more interested in testing, hopefully some kernels and roms will pop up soon. I am an N5 user and still will rely on that device, this is a hopeful crossover device. Been drinking whiskey tonight, sorry if I am incomprehensible.

It gets the job done paying to unlock when they know what they are doing its just the price can be a tad high. Yeah Some kernels and roms should show up soon now the source has been provided by Huawei. Haha no worries I see your enjoying yourself and your new phone lol.

Took the plunge. Seems enough people care about the phone it will get some love. I have the Chinese model, and am so glad I waited. They just started releasing all black models instead of the nasty gold/black (if you liked that combo good on you, but I could not stand it and was going to get a white one). Here are some pics of mine. Now, 14 day wait to unlock (yay?). Wife had some good logic behind that, it is in case people return the device. Most online sellers here will only take a return within 7 days, you could do a lot to and with the phone in that time.

The all black model is really sick! I bought the white one, so I understand your pov about the gold (nowaday I consider titanium grey being a good choice too).
You do have to set up a huawei account in the device. However, for some weird reason, I had to wait for more than 14 days and couldn't get the code to unlock it. So I bought credits in dc-unlocker tool and could get the code with this unofficial method.

Titanium Grey is the model I chose. I did not know they did a all all black and from just reading up it is only available in China as Obsidian Black.

I bought mine from china, but the store at aliexpress didn't have this Obsidian Black. I sure would have bought it instead of Silver White

I would of gone for Obsidian Black as well if the option had been there, the options I did have were Titanium Grey and Prestige Gold.
It only came out here about a week or two ago, the all black model. The model for the Chinese market is better, but I don;t know if it would support LTE in most places.
Well, this sucks. Got impatient and tried to use the DC unlocker method, but no way to pay them. Every method is rejected, probably because I am in China. Trying to buy some bitcoins now, will see how it goes
Darn, I am already thoroughly annoyed at this phone. Just had to jump through a million hoops, only to be waiting on a bitcoin transaction. Hopefully, once I finally get the bootloader unlocked I will feel better, but right now I am
