htc sensation china vs taiwan. which one is better?

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.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

i think i payed my dues , i searched so much my freaking fingers are aching.

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.

[Q] How to check for a fake Galaxy Nexus?

Hi guys, my question is simple. I am about to buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I live in Pakistan. Over here, selling counterfeit stuff is what people over here just love to do. I don't wanna get ripped off and end up buying a fake Nexus the guy claims is real. So how would I check if the Nexus is genuine?

If you can see pixels on the screen, its most likely fake.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

The nexus has a capacitive screen.
See the touchscreen and check if its
resistive screen is made of plastic ( you can press the screen and it "dents" in or you can use your nail to operate the screen )
or its
capacitive screen is made of glass ( can sense multiple touches and does not "dent" in and the screen will only respond if you use your fingers and not a your nail or stylus)

Warranty. Fakers don't have it. And if the deal is too good, it's fake. Also, buy from somewhere like a mall or supermarket, where chances are lower its fake.

Fake always has sensitive screen and mostly slow but always loud speaker.

Anything that makes you doubt the quality in the slightest. Like they have said, screen quality, speaker quality...
Check the software information, kernel version, model number, basebamd version, build number, etc against known base roms that should be running on that model.

Chinese stuff very confusing.

Thanks for ur replies guys, I will check all of the things everyone has said. After a lot of Googling, I think I have found a fool proof check to see if its real. Please correct me if im wrong. The Samsung website registers your phones. If I try to register the Nexus with its imei number, If it registers, it is real, and if it doesn't then its fake. Correct?

Looking for a digitizer too so I'm wondering if you had any luck. The directfix.com seems to be all out? Also nothing listed on ebay.

Anyone know if the tmobile screen/digitizer is swappable with the euro version screen?

Very probably, have seen nothing to indicate hardware differences except branding on the tmo front bezel. Check with seller

Replacing the screen

Wasn't sure where else to post this, but I have the opportunity to buy a tegra 3 model one X for cheap, due to a broken screen/digitizer, and have the S4 ATT variant. I've searched a few threads and couldn't find anything about possibly switching the screens in the two and if they are even compatible. If there is another thread on this, awesome but otherwise can someone give me a technical reference as to whether this is even possible or not. I'd lovvvve to use the tegra model since I'm on T-Mobile anyway and 4G/LTE are irrelevant

It is possible since the phones are the same size and everything, just the processor is different. The problem is the screen repair is extremely difficult according to many people, and it most likely will need to be sent to a professional to be done properly (no raised edges, properly set, etc.). The cost of repair from HTC is ~$300.

Okay that was concern number 2) Is it even worth the attempt? I'm sure as hell not going to drop another 300 on fixing it if I have the potential to do it myself. And it would be a swap of only the LCD/digitizer as one piece. But thanks for answering my question. Just wanted to be sure before dropping the cash

There are several other threads on this topic already. The screen/digitizers are being sold as different part depending on Tegra3 or Snapdragon S4 versions. So it seems there may be differences between the two. You can search for the other threads for more discussion on this.
As already mentioned, its not an easy repair. Taking the phone apart, and installing the screen is much more difficult than other phones, due to the polycarbonate unibody design. Even pro repair shops are having problems doing the repair, and there has been a report of a shop messing up the repair, damaging the outside of the phone, and getting glue all over it when disassembling and re-assembling.
Is their something wrong with your S4? If not, I would leave it alone. You're likely going to mess up both phones trying to Frankenstein something together, and its not worth it.

If your switching screens from one phone to the other it's pretty simple since the digitizer and LCD don't need to be removed from the screen frame... just swap the frames. If your comfortable with it.

If I remember right, the S4 version is .4 mm longer than the international versions which, if you've noticed some cases out there, causes the cases to be misaligned.
This SMALL length difference causes the screens to be slightly different as well. now, I could be wrong. But I do believe reading somewhere that the screens were NOT compatible between the Tegra3 and S4 versions due to that incredibly minute difference.

Yes, if they differ at all I would not swap them at all....new LCD/digitizer assemblies are $80 on amazon from u.s. resellers

Okay, all phenomenal input, thanks. I'm just going to sit tight with my S4 version. It's just this lack of root is making me try anything

[Q] at&t screen replacement

hi guys ok am not very clear with issue and i need clarification. Will an original screen+digitizer from the international version work on my at&t version? It is known that there is a difference of a few mm in terms of lenghth between the two models yet some people claimed that their replacements worked despite capacitive backlights not lighting up evenly........also does it matter whether to use either a replacement with green flex cable or yellow flex cable?
It is quite hard to find at&t OEM lcd but with the international there seems to a few genuine ones out there.
I really clarification on this

WWW.etradesupply.com
You will find the att LCD and digitizer here. International does not fit

No.
Please do a search next time. This has been asked over and over again in previous threads.

its a pity that at&t parts are hard to find. Most of them are cheap chinese crap
