Not sure why but my box came with a spare small sized white sticker with 'htc void' written on it repeatedly. I've got no idea what this is for...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I got mine from Phones 4 U here in the Uk, I'm sure mine came with this sticker as well. If I remember the actual box was secured with a plain white sticker - and the inner box was a right pain to get out.
I assumed that the sticker came in the box so that a retailer could charge the handset or check the contents and then reseal the box.
I bought a handset a while back from Vodafone and it came with a sticker saying something like "walk out talking" because they'd charged the handset before selling it?
I could be wrong though.

You are correct. Mine was the same way. Since the DHD is sold unlocked/unbranded there is no need for the seller to open it, so we get that sticker.
mine is tmobile branded and didnt include such sticker.
so your theory seems to be right

That would be true if you still had all the cables, charger in their original wrapping, plus the plastic cover foil around the phone.
Interesting, I've not seen this before. Thanks for the explanation guys.

I don't believe this is gonna work
I was wondering why I had one of these! Cheers for the explanation, haha
Just had mine 3 days ago. Bought it from Phones4U UK on aTmobile contract. Its unlocked and with no branding . Also came with the white stickers.
Just thought i'd add my pennies worth.
Just gotten my phone today and its simlocked to 3 and has the stickers inside also. . . .

Now that the N1 is discontinued, has anyone had luck getting a replacement (identical or close to it) for the cute Android slip cover which came with our phones? I successfully got a replacement when I phoned HTC a few months ago (before discontinuation), but now they've redirected me to their accessories phone number.
The number they gave me points to LetsTalk.com. And they don't have anything resembling said slip cover. Am I SOL here? Any other suggestions?
I had the exact same problem. There is no place to find them online but ebay. I got a replacement and it is new and the exact quality of my old one
I can't post a link because I am a new member, but i bought my from a seller named emporiumboutique
Thanks good to know. Spare battery is a nice touch too.
I have the one that came with my N1 if you want it. Haven't used it since day 1

Tempting! I've used mine not only every day, but also for several months on my Motorola Milestone. It fits, but the squarish shape of the Milestone really stretched out the slip cover and left it a bit deformed.
Bump: Looks like I waited too long and emporiumboutique no longer offers the slip covers. Damn... any other thoughts?
you can try these ones

Yeah I'd really rather deal with a shipper closer to home than Hong Kong. I also am suspicious of a seller who advertises a case for a Touch Pro 2 and shows a pic of a Desire in the listing.
Found a seller on ebay that sells just the frame for the S4G, IN WHITE.

It's missing one of the antenna point. The white has 3 and for me in the US, need to use all 4 or we get crappy service. lol
I hope that's not a real issue.. I ordered one so I'll post pics and a review when I get mine.

For $81? Jesus.
Seller upped the price. Earlier it was half that IIRC LOL. 81 bux, hellz no. I have a case already thanks
I'm also wondering if its genuine HTC quality or a cheap quality fake cover.

I covered the one connector that the white case doesn't have (with a McDonalds monopoly piece) and the signal is worse, but it is not terrible.
With the case correctly on: ~-75dBm, 19asu
With the monopoly piece on upper left metal: ~-83dBm, 15asu
With the case off: ~-113dBm, 0asu (no bars )
I'm willing buy to this and try it but does anyone have a picture of a normal black sensation with this white battery cover?
Also want to see how it looks on a black sensation...

I'm also thinking if the antenna is bad I have an extra oem back I will experiment and see if i can take the one off the original case and put it on the white case.
Gonna order mine next week. Can we replace the missing antenna connector on the white case with our own from the stock black case?
Also, does anyone make white glass screens for our phones yet? I've searched extensively but haven't been able to locate one on my own

Has anyone tried this on TMOBILE? Sensation?
Mine came in today. It looks amazing. My wifi signal is ironically better than with the stock casing. I now get two bars in my bathroom instead of zero to one like before. I have yet to test tower connection though.
And to the poster above me, I have a sensation 4g and it fits and works perfectly.

Finally someone with the S4G, and what place did you get yours? I would like to buy this along with the actual phone (lol), I'm kinda bored of having all black phones.
Well, I got my One X today, and the seal on the box was already broken and the phone was face down!
Did anyone else experience that?
Somebody had to put your sim card in. Didn't you notice the sim cutout in the box with it?

Boxes are always open to insert sim into the phone itself.
Also, you can peel the sticker and put it away. It's mainly for inventory usage and ID.

A lot of the phones in our inventory have no seals at all. I wouldn't worry about it.
Box was open and the phone was already on. I'm gonna do a factory reset just to make sure
This is why i always pick up my phone at the store
Then i can watch them open it and all the other assorted goodness that goes along with unboxing. My only complaint, no beats brand headphones.

Those headphones are bad anyway. Anything by Beats you should avoid like the plague.
I'll be removing "beats" from this phone the second I can.
Got mine! And yes, it was on.

Mine was powered on too. Also, the back bottom left side, right by the Mic, had a small smudge. I took it back to AT&T and made them switch it out. It was like pulling teeth.

Lucky. I just went to 2 stores (have a dead pixel) and neither would let me exchange until Sunday. Total BS, because we all know they got them in the back. :/
Oh yeah, mine was opened as well, ordered no commitment, so there was no sim installed. Also had scuff marks on back, but was able to rub them off.
A manager could have swapped it out and changed the inventory the next day.
You can do almost anything in an AT&T if you're convincing enough w/ a manager.
And there's nothing wrong for exchanging them. You're buying a brand new phone, it should be in absolutely perfect condition. Every run of phones will have small numbers of units with imperfections. It's always worth exchanging them.
For anyone who buys it on the 6th, look it over closely. Before you even walk out of the door. Stand right in front of that rep and look it over closely with the screen on.
Extremely disappointed in the packaging. For one thing, I can put in my own card. But the outer box was almost double the size of the phone box (with no packing paper or bubble wrap to secure it)...which means it was bouncing around from Texas to Chicago. Works ok, but I hope it didn't loosen anything up.
Mine was open too. I was pretty disappointed about that.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I didnt notice mine open, but the phone was not on and when I powered it on the battery was at 96%.
i really cant remember lol but i had to set it up, guess it was on, no worries
Phone seal was broken. SIM in. Phone came turned off and showed 1/2 battery
Mine was sealed but I purchased it off contract.
I purchased the phone as a family line upgrade, and I had to go from a SIM to microSIM. Yet, my box was sealed (but the uSIM was inside the phone). I guess someone put it in, and then applied the seal to the box
EDIT: The phone was switched off.
i ordered mine today for white 149.99! I hope it comes sealed, otherwise i'm storming into the att store for exchange ^_^

rip it off... information is on the sim card tray if you take it out and look closely... also inside the box your phone came in should be a spare sticker to put back on the phone in case of a warranty claim.

Ahhh, what i find amusing here is this. I had to exchange my one X yesterday, luckily the store i frequent most likes me as they held it for me instead of sending it back when i called last week. Anyways, the salesman processing the exchange is the only person i deal with when i go in there so we joke around and he started the exchange and said you really couldnt just leave that sticker on there could you? So, i told him that there was an extra one in the box so that it could be removed and he nor any of the other staff members there even knew the extra sticker existed.
Anyways, yes, remove that unsightly sticker as it wont hurt anything.
Gone the moment I got the phone in my hands.

removed mine before leaving the store. it's in a few places on the phone, including HBoot (pwr+vol down on startup).
I'm glad it's a sticker and not etched into the phone like apple does with all those informative trademark signs. Yeah, we have those to but they are barely visible on the bottom of the phone.
I took it off before I opened the box hahaha in my mind
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Yea.. I knew all the info was in the phone. But wasn't sure if it'll leave an ugly mark. Its off now looks way cleaner.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
The same info also displayed in Hboot, with the bar codes and everything.
The stick left a faint mark or residue. But wiping with a little glass cleaner took that right off.

The phone is metal, and so are the flaps.
I'm sure you can buy the flaps from a supplier somewhere, but it's a new phone and that is definitely covered under warranty.
Just go to www.sonymobile.com choose country and your model and then go to contact us. Choose chat support and explain to an agent. They will arrange for the phone to be repaired.
It takes about a week - that is the worst part.

Or less you want to return it to Sony I would buy a new flap off the Internet. Or maybe you could glue the metal back on.
Thanks,i just decided ill speak to amazon about it as i did buy the phone from there and they are sending the replacement to me straight away they said it would arrive tomorrow.so a better resolve than not having my phone for a week couldnt live without it tbh with work etc

That's odd, where did you buy? I thought every unit came with a spare. Even the TMO version I have came with it. If anyone does cost cutting its usually with the carrier versions like with no headphones etc.
Its $5.99 on eBay comes with the other cover as well. Free shipping.
