For that cheap I dont know...In the past I had a knock off sony ericsson bt headset. Even though it looked like the OEM product, the unit itself was a copy and was not up to par. It worked, but not to specs.
Looking at the headset itself it looks legit. But being from China, it's a crapshoot.
I have the black ones, but I bought it stateside. I guess you can try and report back if you are brave enough

HD2,HD3,HD7
I didn't know there was an HD3

They do look very much like the ones that came with my XE (except the XE ones are black. Apparently the XL ones are white).
However, there's no small ziplock bag of ear tips/clothing clip in the photo.
Also take a look at their negative/neutral feedback. Lots of complaints that the seller has fake stock of various items.
My guess is that they're using a photo of genuine headphones but you'll receive something different...
I'd avoid. In fact, i'd always avoid buying 'genuine' items from China/Hong Kong/Thailand etc.

I ordered these ones:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20068164169...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_5063wt_1185
Don't even know why I waste so much money especially when I'm in school. This is going to bite me in the ass one day.
These seem real enough, they even have the "urBeats" on them. I don't think "iBeats" with the XE headset controls exist.. so I trusted this seller enough and if I find out it's fake or something then I'll deal with that then!

i ordered today one of these:

Cool deal! Too bad I paid almost double for it lol...but it was someone here in the US, so I was cool paying for the peace of mind I guess
EDIT:
Just a fyi for people who use the ibeats. This app may work for other headphones with button/mic combos like the beats headsets.
I use this free app called jays headset app. This can be found in the market and can make your earbuds/headphones have volume control with a long press/two press combo to increase and decrease the volume.

You are a saint for finding this

Very tempted to get this, are these original for sure? I see the guy has bad rep for listing items OEM and selling fake ones.

to be honest I compared them to rezound beats that my friend has and they are 1000% the same

sadly this review got pulled again ... i'd suspect htc doesn't want any reviews out there before the offical release tomorrow. i read that htc-hub.com got legal issues for doing an unboxing... that is very childish of htc, especially considering that media markt germany already sold devices on friday!

Translated from above:
The super-bright AMOLED screen (active matrix organic light emitting diode) is working very sparingly. An automatic brightness control optimizes the energy consumption if necessary. The color is very good and the viewing angle is very wide. The Pixelaufösung unofficial sources indicated at 256 ppi. In direct comparison with a Sony Xperia S with 342 pixels per inch, the difference can be seen only in text, if you look very closely. In everyday life, but the 256 ppi One of the HTC S perfectly adequate and even sharp enough. Pixels can not be seen.

Well that's pretty encouraging. Sounds like the screen is better than the one in the Motorola phones.

Winning DDD

The Sony Xeperia S has a HD screen and the One S has a QHD screen. There may not be a difference when looking at text but I'm pretty sure there is a difference looking at HD video.

Thanks.... All in one ......

Man I'm so torn. Exceptional builld quality and an awesome screen were the top two priorities in my next phone. At this point it seems like the One S would be a lateral move from my Vibrant in terms of screen quality. Which is acceptable, but a bit of a letdown.
I think I'll still end up getting this though. Still seems like a great phone overall.

Phonedog review

I can't help but wonder if the reason HTC was being review-shy is the thrashing they knew Sense 4.0 + the moronic ICS with hard buttons & the silly giantic menu button workaround would get.

Galaxy gear VR

Hello all anyone got one of these vr headsets if yes please can you tell us about your experiences with the device please. Sceenshots would be nice and where you can buy cheapest from uk apparently they are pretty good but a Bit expensive and abit limited in stock.

Have you tried Bestbuy? Buy online, pick up at your nearest store in 5 days. $199. Otherwise, have not seen in go cheaper.

I bought mine at Best Buy for $199. I have not seen them listed at a cheaper price anywhere else.

problem is not even released here in uk £189.99 uk pounds is the cheapest i could find from handtec.

I just ordered mine last night from best buy, will arrive on friday for me. Im really excited to try vr for the first time since virtual boy in the 90's lol. I am hoping some brilliant developers can modify the playstation remote play app or something like it so we can stream our console games to the gear vr!!!

I am very interested in this hardware but it's still nowhere to be seen in the EU. I have some questions about it though as I primarily want it to view movies and series with in bed at night. Is it compatible with other applications like Kodi and mxplayer or it's a closed ecosystem?

I just got one and I'm not 100% sure that it's good for watching videos. I watched a TV show on it and the quality/resolution wasn't very good. I need to experiment some more. Definitely want to try one out in person before buying I think.

[A9 Indian Owners] Official HTC A9 Indian owners thread..!!

Hi friends, as HTC One A9 is all set to launch in India, its good time to have a thread dedicated to Indian owners and to be owners where we can share experiences and also try to stay updated with the latest news about the device. Thank You..!!
Let the party begin ?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Forums PRO

so far..no news..why the hell India is always selling fones on premium and getting the last priority in availability

Well, with no price being given till now, I expect this to be 35k+

Has not been cheaper than $499(+$25 tax) =Rs.34,650 without pre-order in US and UK prices are even higher. I think it won't be cheaper than 35k even though HTC would do some penetration price cut, due to the high tax and customs in India. Also, during the press meet HTC expressed its intention to introduce new low price series in India to support HTC's growth. That indicates this phone is not going to be cheaper

Safe to say 40k+ then, fingers crossed.

Hey I checked import data on Zauba and it says 22,556 for single unit, so maybe they might end up pricing it below 30k I believe

Have a look

Surprised by the pricing... 30k is good

That's a good price for that phone! Maybe not all hope is lost for HTC in India.

Provided they include the earphones too! In US, the package came without earphone, luckily I got $100 store credit for patiently waiting on the pre-order and bought all the accessories (more than just a headset). Otherwise, it is something like an incomplete package

but the phones in US come with Uh-Oh protection and Play Music subscription, and those won't be available here, so they could have priced it more competitively, just a thought

I saw the registration page and they are only having 2 color variants available now and initially only 2500 units will be made available

HTC seems very cautious in releasing it's inventory/ or even keeping an inventory.. Guess their current financial state is dictating that.

for me deep garnet is the most interesting model color wise but sad that they haven't made it available here

another info worth sharing

Just over 2 days, battery life is holding well. Matches my E8 more or less for my usage pattern. Using the camera or an app like Snapchat drains it a bit faster. But nothing much. Also, the phone charges really quick, 0-100% in about 110 mins with the supplied 1.5A charger. That makes it really amazing.
I'll try posting some pics later.

Where are all the reviews?

I preordered the phone from the UK store. Just wondering where all the reviews are at? Is it because none of the U.S. outlets received review models or is there an embargo? All the reviews are from people who imported the phone. I know that some outlets like android central went to events and said they were going to review it.... so does anyone know?

I think its HTC strategy with this phone, their marketing budget for it must be about £5! All I've seen is things on their social media and website, nothing anywhere else. I.E they aren't giving it out in the UK/europe for free for people to review, hence English reviews will only really come about when people who have paid for the phone get it.
Very strange, maybe it some deal they had with google considering its competing with the pixel 2 xl and this pretty much was going to be that phone?

That's a great question.
Yes in theory it should be possible. Especially since HTC actively advertises this feature in the U11+ specifications page on their website. If you scroll all the way down you will see a "DisplayPort" feature in the list. That's the technology behind the magic. The so called Displayport alt mode.
I wish one of the reviewers would finally hook up their U11 or U11+ directly to their TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable. There's exactly 2 videos demonstrating this feature on YouTube but they're using the older U10.
None of the U11 or U11+ reviewers demonstrated this awesome feature so far. What a shame. They didn't do their homework.
Give me a U11 or a U11+ and I will do a proper review.
Bunch of amateur reviewers!

Most reviewers are from the US so don't expect many besides the ones that are available already. So people like MKBHD, MrMobile etc probably won't review it cuz they usually get review units. Maybe J Williams and Flossy might if they import it.

Yeah the battery life is the main reason I opted for this phone, along with the LCD HDR display and good camera. It just doesn't seem to have any compromises outside of the headphone jack.
If you have the phone id love to see some screen on time screenshots.
Also, in line with the topic of the thread, GSMArena just did an article saying they're reviewing the phone now!

That's great. I didn't know Huawei Mate 10 had DisplayPort functionality. All modern smartphones should have it out of the box if you ask me.
If anything you would want the Huawei Mate 10 Pro . The other mates only have 4 GB RAM. You want it to compete with the U11+ right.
But then again the Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen and no sdcard slot which is a big turnoff. The Mate 10 have LCD and sdcard slot but only 4 GB RAM...
You know what. Just save yourself lots of trouble and get the U11+ which has 6 GB RAM & sdcard slot & LCD display.

If it helps, I returned my pixel 2 XL, due to screen issues and random reboots.
Then I purchased a Huawei mate 10 Pro, and have used it for the last two days. It's a great phone(screen is fantastic) but it's the little things that are bothering me with it, so I will be returning it tomorrow ( no double tap to wake, Bluetooth playback is quiet, speakers aren't great, finger print is slow at responding, always on display doesn't show notifications and keeps freezing on wrong time)
I will be purchasing the HTC u11+ and I think it's going to be spot on, but we'll see ?
Might seem fussy but if I'm paying big money, it has to be right ?
