Went into a corporate store yesterday to do a G2 vs Mytouch 4G and have decided to get a MyTouch. Now, I have kept myself to date with the screen "dilemma" but got a good question, IMO. Where'd you get your phone from??
Yeah! yet another display poll.
Problem is many of us have returned our phones out to get get a good screen but these polls only let you vote once.
I too was getting ready to purchase one of these and after reading the problems with the displays I'm not too sure. This will be my first Android experience and i'm wondering if it would be better to get a Nexus S. I really like the features of this phone, but the display and battery life are making me unsure? Any help on choosing between the 2??

Wait a week on the Nexus S, it has it's own problems every phone does. Check out the massive browser lag on the Nexus S youtube videos!!! Very much like all Galaxy S phones. Early reports on GPS are also unfavorable. and also weak WiFi.
got my good one from 611

Bought two on Saturday one good red one and one bad black one. I have seen a total of 8 bad ones opened up in TMO corp stores.
As per title has anyone seen the sensation available in Hong Kong yet? I'm flying there on Sat for a day trip and its between this and the Desire HD. I REALLY want to get the sensation, but I don't think it's around yet.
I'm sure I spotted it on a website, listed with the price a few weeks back but can't find the web site now. All the others I have found since have it listed but no price and no eta yet
So figured I'd ask in here on the off chance. I think the official release date is 8th June! sod's law that as I can't change my flight.
so anyone from HK on here and has anyone seen it there yet??
I saw a seller on ebay located in hongkong. Maybe you can contact the seller and find out if you can just pick it up at their warehouse.

Does that mean a launch ? or just a date for ?? or summit else altogether ?
I heard it will be available on 3th of June. I think you can shop around after 4: 00pm cause most of retailer get their inventory around that time.
http://www.android-hk.com/news/htc-sensation-hk-price-5198/
according to this website, it says the press conference is on june 3th and should be available later this week
Cheers guys
Brusko I emailed that seller and he said yes i can come and collect from xyz, BUT they are not open on Sat or Sun aaarrgghhh (I'm only there for Sat, it's a quick day trip for me)
However I'm guessing it MUST be available elsewhere and if the press release today holds true, fingers crossed I'll get this bad boy this weekend I hope

Cheers guy, found it no problems, couple of places said they'd be getting it later that day.
Paid 4,200 for it, but got 32gb class 10, MicroSD card thrown in too so I'm happy.
Just have to learn how navigate and use it now. 1st Andriod phone so it's gonna be a fun learning experience
There's a lot in Shen Zhen
I want to buy one! can you please point me to a shop in hongkong where they sell these.
hkd 4,200 w/ 32gb card btw is great!!
cheaper than that would be awesome!!!!

I bought mine in Mong Kok. Plenty of places had it in stock. The big stores were expecting it that day.
I think I could've got the price down further if I'd been paying cash. As always cash is king there And if more places had it.
Sadly I was in a hurry else I would've gotten the cash in hand.
Couldn't find accessories for it though, but I'll get those later.
Right now I'm enjoying it, I showed it off to a few friends over the weekend, one guy started to get his iphone out and then saw how fast this is and didn't bother and just gave me the bird lol
Thanks! I'll try to find my way there this week.
Smartone also have the sensation now. Got mine there yesterday, unbranded as well.
The phone came with a load of preinstalled smartone apps. A quick factory reset and all the smartone apps are gone.

I've found this offer: SIM-free Sensation @ Paramoz.com for £386 + £12 delivery.
(panamoz.com/index.php/htc-sensation-z710e-8gb-due-core-android-sim-free-unlocked-smart-phone.html)
The price is much lower then anywhere else.
On their FAQ it says that they are based in Hong Kong, but phones are compatible with UK/Europe. (panamoz.com/index.php/FAQ)
Online reviews are quite good, so it could be worth buying. (google.co.uk/products/seller?&hl=en&zmi=panamoz.com&cmi=30208238839857152)
Has anyone here bought phones through HK-based sites like this one?
I wonder is it exactly the same phone as the one coming to UK on 20th of June?
hey guys , this is my first post , and i'm a newbie so take it easy on me if i ask the most stupid questions!
my question is , is there any difference between a htc handset made in china and the one made in taiwan? is there any difference in durability and quality? and also i've heard that if the device is a shipment order of Europe or America & Canada , it supposed to have better quality than the ones that ships to midle-east. is that true? cause i bought one that supposed to be midle-east shipment (it has arabian rom and arabic user manual) and it is made in china.
please help me , this has been bugged me for so long , and it really matters to me to have a topnotch quality handset.
and one more question , i've heard that i can find all the informations about the shipment destination and .... from serial number and P/N of my phone , but i don't know how can i do that. please guide me on this matter too.
thank y'all , i appreciate any help.
I think anybody that knows this will have to search for it on the internet.

Well, im not saying you didn't or I would straight up said google it. This is not as easy as a nokia made in finland or made in china. You might have to contact the manufacturer on that one and they might block you too.

I've had both. And to behonest so far there the same, the both have the Acer screen, both are built equal. So there equal I would say, except for one thing so far and that being my first one, one from China, after a month it already had dust under the screen, so I called n they sent me another one, its from tiawan. They feel the same, built the same and are the same. The only thing I would say is try to get one with Sharp being the display instead of Acer, and watch out for dust.

Finaly.. i thought i was the only one.. saan nyo pala nabili yung One S S4 nyo and how much? I just want to know battery stats since here in the philippines, we don't often use mobile data unlike countries which they use 3g and 4g.. another question is, HTC One X+ came out a week or two, do you feel the need to upgrade? Since it's really a great phone.. and may probably tie or beat the battery life of our One S, considering it has a bigger display and uses slcd-2..

That would do.. i was referring to filipinos who live here in the philippines who luckily have the S4.. also, the black MAO process of the One S came out here in the phils. already.. unfortunately, it has the S3 processor.. but i compared it side by side with mine, and you won't see any difference.. the only way i confirmed it is i downloaded it with quadrant and check for it's soc installed..

:: puts hand up! :: Bought mine thru Widget City for 21k, since they were the only "semi-reputable" seller of S4 version months ago. Battery life is modest at best, that's why I bought a car charger and a slow charger for use at work. Perfectly happy with it (Black MAO) but had 2nd thoughts that I should have gotten the Blue/Grey instead,as the black is slippery to the touch. Had to get a capdase casing from Greenhills to make it bearable to hold and not be afraid of the phone falling. The 64gb white S would have been nice, but am not a power user anyways.

May i ask, i wanted to know if your One S is affected with the chipping of the MAO process.. btw, i envy you.. because i bought mine in HTC Italy and it cost me 32000 pesos total.. i thought widget city is not legit so i don't trust them and i'm not sure if they do sell the s4 variant.. i wish the black one s do have the 64gb storage, because the white one isn't that appealing to me.. if i knew earlier that widget city is legit, i would've bought there and save 10 or 11k atleast..

Chipping-wise, only in the charger slot,as I tend to mishoot the cable, but surprisingly, no chipping elsewhere ( I was prepared for this before getting the black one) I did my homework to make sure I got an S4 version, tooke about 2 months of persistent buffering stores and even HTC sales agents until I found the S4. Widget City is legit, but has the most terrible customer service for an online store (Kimstore is the best) but had to bear it as only they have the best price and the only one to carry the S4 version.

Just like mine.. the only chip i had is inside the usb port as it is inevitable that the usb tip will not touch around the usb port.. elsewhere, i don't have any chipping issues. And like you, i researched through almost all possible sources to make sure i'll get the s4 and the batch of HOS not affected with the chipping issue. May i ask again, what is the first 6 digit of your serial number? Mine is SH24KW, as it is one of the basis if your One S is affected with the issue..
You use an otterbox? Does it really add bulkiness to the phone? My friend bought a commuter for his One X, and it's really bulky..
How does widget city be terrible in costumer service? Yup, i also inquired there and ask if it was really an s4 they are selling.. they even said the model name (z520e) when i ask them to check the box.. from there, i knew that i would be getting the s4 but i really couldn't imagine why they sell that for just 21k or less..
Well, enough for the regrets, i'm satisfied with the HOS.. but the release of the HOX+ makes me think to upgrade to it.. what are your insights? Hehe.

Got mine from a seller in tipidpc.. He was selling a unit from tmobile.. Lahat kasi ng units from tmobile, s4..problem is, I had to unlock it myself (may sticky dito yun) that was I think 6months ago, 20k..battery life is a little bit on the low side pero everything else, sulit.. Gusto ko sana ng black but natakot ako sa chipping, so got the grey one.. And no, I'm not tempted by the one x+, i hate huge phones

SH23KW. I use a Capdase casing and it barely adds volume (read my initial post). I took choose HOS primarily for 3 things: processing power, form factor and ease of use with one hand. Think of what is essential for you, and if majority of those leads to HOS+, then consider it.

Odd.. have you read the Micro Arc Oxidation Failure topic here at our One S Forum? Seems like you are one of the exemption that didn't have the chipping in spite of having a SH23 s/n.. in the topic, almost all SH23 owners suffer from chipping which is said to be the first batches of the HOS, while SH24 and SH25 are the "fixed" batches regarding the MAO chipping.. i guess you were very lucky with your One S.
Yes, that were also my considerations before i bought the HOS, ease of use, top of the line processor and it's build quality. I would've bought the One X+ if it was already available when i was only deciding what to choose.. i didn't choose the One X because of short battery life, overheating issues, the camera lens is very vulnerable to scratches and it's a huge phone compared to our One S, but with the promising and superb specs of the One X+, i think i can live with a bigger phone, now that all my concerns with the One X is now solved with the One X+, i really don't know if i would upgrade..

Hi!
I just bought my One S yesterday. It's black. Unfortunately, I found out about the S4 vs S3 debacle too late and found out just today, that I have the S3 version. I plan on going back to the HTC Concept Store at SM City Cebu to demand an exchange, as the dumb phones they had on display with spec sheets clearly say Snappdragon 4! I bought this phone for speed and to find out later that I got a "crippled" version with the S3 chip for an S4 price is downright fraud for me.
Well, wish me luck. :good:
BTW, did you guys get the 4.0.4 OTA update? I'm not seeing any. Stuck at 4.0.3. Maybe another issue with this "disappointing" S3 version.

I also saw here at SM Fairview last week, that they are selling the black version of the One S, but they didn't say that it has the s3 or the s4 chip. I inspected it, and comparing to mine, external features is really identical, but when i compare the speeds in opening some apps like the camera, gallery, messages, contacts, the app drawer, settings and other, it's really noticeable that my One s4 is faster compared with the s3 version, but i didn't stop there.. i logged on my gmail to the One S they are selling and downloaded quadrant to check it's system info, and from there, i saw that the product name is villec2, msm8260, 1784 MHz and adreno 220. It clearly states that the one they are selling is the s3 version.. i then run full benchmark on my HOS and the one they are selling, my HOS finished first, then i got a score of 5200+ while theirs only scored 4k+.. so it's really an s3. I hope you could get a replacement and get the s4 variant.. as the s3 is not that great as the s4.. about the 4.0.4 update, yes i already updated to that since the 2nd week of october.. i guess the update for the s3 rolled out last november's first week? I'm afraid if the One S got its JB update, the s4 variant would be the first to get it, and a month or two before for the s3 one.. but in the first place, i hope we'll have a JB update. Hehe
