I just went to a local AT&T store to look at the newly released Fuze. I am not sure why AT&T has to ruin things every time a new HTC phone is released. The manager handed over his FUZE and it was covered with fingerprints and finger oil. I was so thrilled to see HTC change the design of the chassis to matte finish from the glossy cover of Diamond. Then, AT&T commits this hideous crime. I had a full intention of purchasing one, but walked out of the store empty handed.
My question, now, is this.
Can a 900/2100Mhz version of Touch Pro be converted to work with US 3G network (850Mhz) by flashing it with a AT&T radio? Or is this a hardware issue?
Anyone shares the same feeling?

the back makes that much a difference? thats just kinda ridiculous
and no the only way to get 3g is to use the att one or wait for the na unlocked which will probly be 800
Yup!
From the pictures, I didn't think it would be so such a big deal, but when I saw it, I just lost all desire to upgrade.

Too lazy to read the threads about trying to add the US 3G bands to the touch pro, but not too busy to waste space complaining about a device you're not gonna buy because it shows fingerprints. Checkout the Raphael elite team thread about that topic.

ha! i had that. Gone to a doctor in houston, tx
I wonder if the euro back cover will fit the fuze..? Hmmmmmmm, solution..?
the piano black finish is actually really nice. Just gota get some clear coat/invisible shield on it to keep it clean.
as for the 3g...hasnt it already been established that it's a hardware issue and that the only way to use it on AT&T network is to buy fuze!? this must be the 5th or 6th thread asking the same thing...well..half of this thread asks the same thing
covers....?

I know the pic looks NOTHING like the euro touch pro but I don't think they put up the correct pic yet as it states in the listing.
ok ok peep this, would this work...
grab a spray can of laquer and lightly mist the back cover
it would give it some texture and it would give it a duller, matted look.
but really, it's the back of the phone so whats the big deal? and you can always nonchalantly (yeah i cant spell) wipe it on your buttcheek

Did that earlier, it works!
Be smart use your brain, first off it's only a back piece. Second of all simply buy the phone and buy a replacement back piece for an unlocked Touch Pro version and snap it in, it's the same back piece! No need to spray pant your phone, LOL.
I didn't get mine yet but not because of the back finish I simply don't want to wait for rebates and all that garbage I'll get mine when BBY Mobile gets them, if they never get them then I guess I'll just never get the phone. To be honest I lost 99% of my interest in this thing waiting for it to come out, now it's like I don't know if I even want it anymore.

true dat, but, if you have a decent phone then you can wait. as for me, i've been using a t-mobile mda with a failing keyboard so i've been watching the release dates like a hawk. then when i went monday to play with a demo before the big release, the guy said yeah we had these for a couple days now. DOH

Agreed. If the back was enough to completely turn you off of the Fuze, then you clearly didn't want it that badly to begin with.
Well..
Is this the perfect device (that is really subjective) Do I dislike the fingerprint aspect, Yes, Can I live with that, Yes. will someone come up with a fix for that (most likely).
Cheers

I've found the butt cheek wipe works (wipes?) better if there is fabric covering the butt cheek.
Wow, i have to agree this thread is really lame.

There are many names I could call you, but I'll keep them clean... Negative Nancy, Debbie Downer, take your pick, there's no reason for a comment like that. You're always the first to tell me half of my posts are arguing, yet 75% of yours are scolding others for what they do on the forum. If it's such a crime he'll be admonished by a moderator, let them judge.
While the glossy black fingerprint sucking evilness of the device IS a huge turnoff, I bought it anyway .
It's a shame it's glossy though. You'd have thought electronics companies would have learned their lesson after PSP, but apparently not. I *hate* glossy black electronics with a fiery passion. Still...the Fuze is a damn nice phone

Indeed, I loved the gray the pre-release had, I don't know why they wrecked it. They had the choices of either matte black like the unlocked version or gray like the pre-release, and they picked glossy black like the Diamond, ugh. The Diamond looks really sharp... until you touch it. Same goes for the Fuze now.
hey guys, i really dont like the back cover on the fuze, and heard that the touch pro back cover (gsm version, not sprint) is a rubberized one.. is that true? if so, does anybody know if they're interchangeable? if they are, where can we get them.. i've searched ebay and cnn.cn, and neither one has it right now.. thanks

I would prefer the matte version of the cover as well, but not to the tune of $31.00 + shipping. For that amount of money, I can put up with a lot of fingerprints!
ya, but besides that, it doesnt even look right. dunno if its a wrong picture or what though...i'm hoping they should be on ebay soon? i also emailed cnn.cn asking them if they plan on carrying them.

It's the wrong picture; the site says, "The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery [sic] cover."
I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago asking if this (http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p...er=wmusfroogle) would fit the Fuze and was told in so many words "no".
i'd actually prefer this one:
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=172018
but not as an "Extended" version. the picture is hard to make out, but it's looks flat at hte back. I'd rather have that than teh stupid diamond back design lol
All the guys with the Sprint CDMA version complain about their backs to. Minus the fact that Sprint stupidly went with a non-matching colou,r I'd actually prefer the CDMA backing, it's matte, smooth, and IMO looks better

Confirmed, the one sent IS the original touch pro cover. I love it!

Not available in the states yet, though I read somewhere that a US QWERTY version is supposed to ship sometime early next year.

anybody have any experience with any of the ebay type keyboard cases?
I ordered the US version of the official Samsung keyboard case, it should be here this week.
I'll post some pics when I get it.
Just got it in, pretty impressive little guy so far.
Need to get some time in actually using it before I can say to much more about it.
Ill post some pictures of it if there is interest.

For anyone who does not mind full retail price ($149), you can purchase it direct from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/BKC-1C9USBGSTA
I am holding out for it to show up at more vendors. I suspect it will cost between $99 and $129 very quickly.
About the Samsung Keyboard (gorgeous, btw). Can you type on it and touch/pinch on the screen while it's upright? I mean, would it easily fall back? The rear support looks slippery/flimsy.

That's my only real concern also. The keyboard and case itself looks MUCH nicer than anything else on the market. I don't like cases that cover the sides of the screen (which the Samsung doesn't), and the keyboard looks larger and slimmer than any of the competitor's offerings.
Exactly and the YouTube video is crap, the thing lays flat nearly all the time...not helpful.

I have found it to actually be really quite sturdy, even on very slippery desk surfaces.
The stand itself is a quite ridged, yet has some flexability in that it wont snap under pressure.
The part of it that makes contatact with the desk or whatever is coated in a very grippy rubberized material that grips anything really sturdily.
It does not slipthats for sure.
So yea you can absolutely pinch and zoom while in laptop style angles on a desk, or leather couch.
The whole case is really thin and nicely designed, I also have the Vipertek slim leather case, and this is only very slightly thicker.
It does add quite a bit of weight to it, but its not to bad, and feels very solid.
The keyboard works pretty well, there is some quirks that I assume are related to androids implimentation of BT keyoards and hope to see addresed in ICS, but all in all I find it works pretty well.
When I bought it I was only really planning on using it when I knew I would need it for some reason, and still primarily have my tab in the Vipertek most of the time, but since I put my tab in, it has stayed in, and I don't think I will go back to my old case.
Can you flip the keyboard behind the screen and just use the screen say on your lap?

Nope, unfortunatly you cannot.
It almost goes all the way around but not quite.
That is probably one of the main drawbacks, but I have found it to be less of an issue then I thought it would be.
Thanks for the response. I use it in portrait mode a lot and don't always need the keyboard. I would definitely get this if it wasn't so expensive!

Got my s2 sport 3 days ago and today I noticed the bezel is kind of flimsy. Not that it rotates more easily but more like it is not that well attached to the case anymore. Feels as if it was meant to be pressed as a buttton rather than only rotate.
Anyone else with this issue? Is this "normal"?
I had that issue on the the first one I bought. Returned it and got another

Thanks. After seeing other posts of people having similar or even worse problems with the bezel, I asked Amazon for a replacement. Now I have to return my current gear s2.

Not very happy... Will see if the replacement hasn't the same problem.
I have the same issue. The bezel makes a click noise when I touch it. I didn't recognize it the first days when I played with my device. I will get my replacement tomorrow so I can compare 1:1 what's normal and what's not.

Yes, I also didn't have the clicking on the bezel at first, then it suddenly became more "raised" and started to click when touched.
Please, let us know if your second watch is better. Will get my replacement by next monday, but I plan to send back the old one on saturday, so no chance to compare them.
Thanks.
Can anybody who thinks they have a flimsy bezel tell me if you scroll with the rotating bezel slowly but not too slow in the "app circle" back and forth, does it sometimes go the wrong direction you're spinning?
I am experiencing this with the Verizon Gear S2 3G. Sometimes its more than one time if I keep spinning in the same direction. It seems it got into a loop or something. Planning on bringing it back and I got it 3 days ago. I can press mine down like it is a button. I had the S2 bluetooth before and I don't really remember that happening.
Nope. Mine only was sort of loose but the rotation response had no issues. The replacement is better.
Ok I'm gonna go bring it in tomorrow
So I got my 8GB/256GB Pro a couple days ago during the launch event. Next I day i notice that when I press the home screen where the fingerprint is located and the opposite side near the top of the screen I hear as if the glue underneath is not sticking and sounding like the screen is lifting, or some part beneath it is lifting. Anyone else experiencing this? Its rather annoying.
how did you get it at the launch event? i was there, and as far as i'm aware, it wasn't available for purchase there.

true, I was just curious. either way, that really doesn't sound like intended behavior, so i would definitely go right back there and exchange it lol

Yea it was at the flagship T-Mobile store in SF. As for the screen sounding like its lifting is only when the phone isn't warm. Its really bad when I wake up in the morning when it hasn't been used as the adhesive has probably cooled. I just hope I can prove it to the rep when I take it for exchange.
So I went back to the store and apparently their floor model is doing the same thing. Some experienced similar issues, I wonder if the first round of batches have these issues with most of them. I didn't exchange it, but it appears this is starting to become a common issue.

yikes, don't get it wet, if the screen is moving that means the seal is bad for sure.
Well they do call it a fluid display ?
No issues here, but I have the unlocked model.
I have the same issue (kind of). In my case it only happens once or twice a day. But it is really annoying. Im planning to use hairdryer and some pressure to strengthen the adhesive. Is that a bad idea? Has anyone got a better solution? I travel a lot and and the country im currently in does not have any Oneplus service. So sending device to service is not an option for me.

I have the exact same problem with my OnePlus 7T Pro. First it was only when I pressed harder, now its nearly every thime I touch that area. I gonna contact OnePlus for RMA.
Add me as another one with the issue. Ordered right after launch directly from OnePlus. Anywhere from 2-3x a day, to as many as 5-6.
I made a Video of the Problem, feel free to use it, if you want to:
https://youtu.be/j9Exg2CUs3Y
I forgot that I canceled the order from the OnePlus-Shop and bought it from Amazon. (faster delivery)
This weekend I sent it back. (it was in the timespan for free retirement of the order, I also told them about the defect)
Now I will wait till I got my money back and order a new one.
I need root and because of that my device wasn't really used till now. I still use my OP5T for daily.
If a "official" Rooting-Solution is out I will order a new OP7TPro.
