Hey guys
found these on ebay, iv ordered one and then thought, hang on what if its not compatible
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-32GB-TF-M...684631551QQcategoryZ18871QQvarZQQcmdZViewItem
Yes, its compatible.
But it looks way to cheap to be real.
And he sells 256GB USB thumb drive for 14GBP. Its unreal, scam.
yeah exactly what i thought, i will however report back once i hear anything, or if i dont, i got the standard "thank you for purchasing" email
he has over 100 feedback, and it seems from creditable purchasers
well fingers crossed!
15-25days for delivery? Is it sent via carrier pigeon?

Shipping from the middle of nowhere no doubt, i will not be happy if i have to put in yet another paypal claim,
I will keep the faith for now, see if i get a dispatch email or anything
A friend bought one... I don't think it was this seller and this card (his/mine had different image on top) but it was too cheap to work...
Noname C4 32GB
You couldn't even copy a single image on it... Formatted it few times, chkdsk showed no errors...
Now it's Resting In Pieces....

Maybe there's a reason for? ;-) I was going to get one for myself, but missunderstanding with wireless signal in landscape mode have changed my mind, since I game a lot.

Yes, the price is coming down because of the dual cores coming out, and other Samsung 1.2 or 1.4Ghz single cores etc. The Desire S is fast enough for me though!

Do you have a direct link as i can only find it for £359???
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Desire-...U9YM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303417332&sr=8-1
It looks like you have missed it, sorry It was definitely that price this morning... and it was from Amazon, not a marketplace seller. I still think some other good deals will come along soon. Just wait for some more dual core phones to come out... ;-)
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Check out this deal. Could be the cheapest way to get the phone:

I went for 18 months at £18.50 - if the £90 quidco tracks that would mean the phone would cost me £243. I know that would be on a low useage contract but even if you never used the contract, the phone would still be cheaper than anywhere else.

Shame... maybe they made a typo, then had to correct it... Anyway, by the time i upgrade phone in June, the price would have dropped to less than £300 ... do you think it would?

after topcashback it comes to about £240, and you can bring the contract down to £10.50 a month from 13.50 which makes it about 160 after cashback, i got it, dont plan on using the sim card, works out well cheaper than buying the phone, only on offer for saturday and possibly sunday so snap it up quickly

o2 sim unlock it for free it works out far cheaper than buying the handset, and giffgaff use o2 anyway so its not locked to use with them.

nice lucky you
is there any o2 bloatware on it? any o2 apps, themes, bootscreens?
Funnily enough mine doesnt have anything O2!
No bootscreens, no apps, themes or even screen savers lol!
Firmware is:
1.28.401.1 with 2.1 Sense and 2.3.3 GB.
Oh and it also came with a SanDisk SD card rather than the usual Samsung
The chap at the store did say it was a new batch that came in today so i think it may have generic firmware.
Think i got lucky!!
When i get some time i may try another sim.

wow! you are so lucky! do they have any demo units in stire to play around with? i'll go chexk it out at my own o2 shop soon! are you sure, because i heard ppl say that the browser default homepage is the o2 page... can you pls check?
maybe when you get future updates, you might get the o2 crapware back...
pls try another sim to see if it's unlocked
Just checked browser and its set to www.google.com
Ive switched the updates off for now incase they close the GB exploit
And guess what!!
ITS SIM FREE Whooooohooooo!
Good job you asked me to check! Worth much more!
Im sooo happy!
If you need any numbers from the box i can provide them for you to "hopefully" increase your chances of a simfree generic handset.
Since different European carriers might release this phone in the next week or so I decided to post this.
Supposedly the tmous version won't be out til the 8th of next month so if any of you European readers out there get a hold of the phone soon, please post a link to where I can download the manual for the phone. I'd love to read through it.
Thanks
Same here ! I would also like to read it.
any update on this from the UK users?
Here's the manual from the UK. Enjoy!
awesome. where was this stored online at?
It was on the SD-Card of my HTC Sensation which I got yesterday!
Thanks. I've perused it all (and actually read carefully the parts that interested me). I think I will definitely enjoy upgrading

Sjgore Nice and great post bro. Thx for the manual.
thanks again. htc now has it on their site & it has a different file name (newer date of 20110506) but they are practically the same. Only 1 thing was changed. read it all & I'm excited!

What was changed? I skimmed the original one and don't feel like skimming the new one if I can help it
iirc, the recommend button info on the music app was taken out & the amazon part is missing in the screenshot. i forgot what the second thing that was taken out and/or added was.

Thanks. When I said I skimmed it I meant skimmed the words but looked at aaaaall the pages. You saved me a great effort.
ha i actually had both up to find out what was different. yay win7 & their pin to left/right of the screen. the spacing is different on a few pages & there are only 2 differences: the one I listed & I forgot the other.
*edit*
on the newer on page 29 is not in the one posted above
Anyone that may have the Tmobile US version already want to upload the manual that's loaded on their storage card please? thanks
Anyone who got the US version want to upload the manual from their microSD card? I wanna see if anything has changed.
thanks
Just got the tmous version. odd that it doesn't have the manual on the storage card. :-(

I find it weird that tmous didn't include it on the storage card like all of the EU carriers did. It's not like your average user is going to go to tmobile's web site to download it.

i can't buy from amazon as it does not ship to my country.
I would suggest not buy from Hong Kong
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Usually HK means lower price but higher risk (not getting the goods or getting something worse then expected). The good feedback in this case should be a good index
I've bought SD Cards on eBay and had no issues.
It's usually when the price is too good to be true that it can be a scam.
I've heard of 16gb cards being labelled (and hacked) as 64gb cards. When you
reach the 16gb limit, the card get corrupted.
does the price look right? i bought it as the seller got very good feedbacks and there is a 7days return policy

Seems alright. What I usually do is compare to the retail price, and the price on "discount" technology websites.
Remember that postage can take over a month from China / Hong Kong, so the 7 day return policy isn't really much use if you buy from there.
I'm a little dubious of cards out of HK as I have been bitten before..
That said, I bought a 16GB Sandisk class10 (which is great!) recently from a local seller, and the price on this one lines up with what I paid for them (I bought 2 x 16GB for about the same price your seller is asking for the 32).
thx for ur tips and recommendations! the price looks right so i think it's genuine.. already ordered.. now waiting receiving it .. will post feedback when it arrives... hope everything goes well

i am using this program : sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/ to test its speed and the writing speed seems to be around 8.60mb/s? is the speed ok?
i am using a cheap usb sd card reader i bought from ebay.
update : the write speed is 8.5mb/s
update 2: error with verify :
Error reading file 'V:\3.h2w', offset 0xea00000.
(The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. Code 1117)

Same price at amazon selling from SanDisk their self. Better do more research.
But one more thing. SanDisk doesn't fit Desire, at least this model. I have a same card but a genuine one, doesn't work. You can take a look at my post, would suggest you buy another brand, like samsung.

If you have Clockwork recovery, then you can do it in that.
Put the card in, boot into recovery, go to advanced (I think), chose Partition SD Card.

I was told that CWM card partitioning is no good. I couple of weeks, phone can suffer errors and substantial laggs.
I replaced CWM recovery with 4EXT Touch Recovery. Great stuff.
You have abaaaabbbb63's tutorial HERE how to partition SD card via 4EXT. I did it and it is perfectly align and working great.

2. Not sure what is actual version and model of this.
3. Bixby won't work
4. Navigation settings bar won't work
5. No other settings available
6. Currently it is stocked with T-mobile software and its not getting updates from T-mobile

Due to the above problems taught of installing new software using Odin as instructions shared in our forums . It has Chinese boot loader and by selection "Wipe/Clear eMMC" its never stays in download mode to install the software. Odin is also not detecting the phone.
Could you please help me installing new OS and solving the above problems ?

Yep definitely a knockoff with the Mediatek CPU. Samsung use either Qualcom Snapdragon or Exynos CPU. You won't find a Mediatek CPU in Samsung device...
You've been ripped off, hope you didn't pay too much...

Thank you . I am confused by storage total space shows as "128GB" and Phone storage shows as <4GB
They use an app to trick the phone into showing more storage than it has. I had one from Thailand that said 64gb internal storage but after a factory reset the story was VERY different.
It's like the sd cards you can get that are supposedly more than what they really are.
Usually once you exceed the storage limit you loose data or corrupt everything.
You have a novelty toy, nothing more....
I really hope yuou didn't pay $50USD If you paid via Paypal, bite the bullet , put in a for this (and even that seems a bit high for what your showing)as you have been ripped off BIUG time if you paid any more...
If you used Paypal, put in a dispute and send the item back to get your money back. The dispute is the item is a fake. You didn't get what you paid for...

Just some.advice, cause that listing looks shady as sh1t...if you're going to buy off Craigslist have the seller meet you at T-Mobile so they can verify its a genuine T-Mo device. If they're not willing to do that, then run, run, run from that listing.
This is low quality fake S8+, you won't able to install Samsung firmware and it will only break it if you do so.
For price of $350, definitely impossible is a real one.
