[Q] HTC One X+ (AT&T version)

I found a HTC One X+ (AT&T version) on ebay. The matter is the price. The auction started in 370 USD. I think that is too cheap. The description says this
I am selling the latest HTC ONE X+ 64GB which is locked to ATT network. This is an upgrade in almost every department of the already fantastic and popular One X. Buyer assume full responsibility if purchasing to unlock and use on any network other than ATT. This phone is only two and a half weeks old and used for only about a week. It was in the Speck grip case from the time of purchase and is included in this auction. As you can see in the pictures the original charger and sync cable are still in wrappers. Included in this auction are the original box and manuals, phone, battery, AC wall charger and Sync cable, Sim eject pin, and brand new SPECK candyshell grip case. US bidders only and will ship to continental US only. I accept Paypal only as payment.

So I don't know if is this a scam, or there is a problem with this particular version, or it is impossible to unlock I don't know. What do you think guys about this version?

Well how many days are left on it? Nowadays people usually wait to bid last second on eBay and even if it was a scam and you paid your money eBay and PayPal will always side with the buyer usually

Are there any comments about this version?

You could try posting in the One X+ forum and checking with people who already own the device?

Auctions often start at a low price to attract attention. As mentioned, most the bidding happens on the last day of the auction, even the last hours/minutes. Bidding a high price early just pushes the auction price unnecessarily high.
Bidders determine the ultimate price of the item. So you can't tell if an eBay auction is a scam, solely by price. Look at the sellers rating.

I found the auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-One-X-6...1039819421?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c2e89129d
There are four days left to go. Rest assured the price will go up substantially based on what others are selling for.
The seller has two feedbacks, both from selling phones, apparently both today. I would be a bit wary of this--who knows where he got these?

Thanks for your comments. I sent a mail to the seller asking this:
Hi
1.- Which is the firmware version?
2.- Did you try to unlock it before?
3.- Why are you selling this htc?
Cheers

He answered this:
I do not have the firmware version readily available. The phone is already boxed and ready for shipping because someone already had won it in a previous auction. However he was from Russia and I do not ship internationally and so this is a relisted auction. I can unbox it tomorrow and power it on and give you the firmware number. I have never attempted to unlock the phone but I have read that it is definitely possible but I am unsure of what networks it would work on. That is up to the buyer however it is my understanding that it should work on any GSM network worldwide as long as the bands are supported. I am selling the phone because I am somewhat of a phone junkie and have many different phones. I am currently using a Lumia 920 and at the moment prefer the WP8 platform. I also have the LG Optimus G and a Samsung S3!!! I will probably be selling those off too in the near future. If you look at my history I have sold already a One X, Focus 2, Atrix 2, and Galaxy S3

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

I live in Shanghai and bought a US version 32GB for 3,000 RMB. I am aware that I won't be able to use LTE in the future, but I wasn't prepared to go for a HK version for near enough the same price and only 16GB.
I bought online from Taobao - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1856930535.34.1QlftW&id=35735211682 - A reputable seller who throws in a lot of freebies like screen protector, case, extra usb cable etc.
You will need a Chinese bank card to use though.
Otherwise I'm sure there are camera markets in Guangzhou where you can buy imported versions.

I've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!
Thank you!

Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.

Doubt about the phone, case+screen protector

Hello guys, i'm going to visit a cousin in the USA and i'm thinking of already ask him to buy a nexus 5, the case and the screen protector so i just need to get it with him when i arrive there.
My first doubt is: as i live in brazil, i was reading that some guys are having problems with 4G connectivity, and i read that if you are going to buy nexus 5 to use in Brazil you need the model D821, cause the usual model D820 will cause problems with the 4G frequency here, so... as i want my cousin to buy it for me (probably on Google Store), does he need to specify during purchase that he wants model D821? anyone that lives in another country with another frequency get through this?
And my other doubt is: I read on many reviews on amazon, people complaining about things like "i bought case X and screen protector Y, but they are not good together, the case is taking my protector off...", i'm thinking about take the most common "combo" on amazon, the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for LG Nexus 5 and the iSmooth LG Google Nexus 5 Ultra Clear Premium HD Screen Protector, and i would like to know if any users of the forum use these together and if they make compatible together.
Thanks already

As for the case combo I would look into the spigen screen protector it is a dry one and I prefer dry ones over the invisishield and it is much cheaper 3 for like $8.

you cannot specify during the purchase process whether you want an 820 or 821. if you're in the US and order a nexus 5, they're gonna ship you the variant that is supported in your region. in this case, the 820. the same goes for purchasing a nexus outside the US. you'll have to look online for either a used 821 or find out how you can purchase an 821 from a non-US play store.

Is it possible to flash different radio in D820 to make it compatible with other regions?

No

So is there any way that i can ask my cousin in the US to buy there to me a D821 model (with the price near the google store's one )? idk, maybe amazon or something.

He said you have to either find one from the non play store or purchase a used one.
Sent from my Nexus 5

It's so sad. All the other places have a big difference in terms of price compared to the google play of US . i think i will keep my nexus 4...

But for example, if i take the nexus 5 D820, i will lost 4G here in my country but i can continue to use 3G?

Can't you just use a proxy and purchase it that way?

If somebody know a shop, where i can buy this phone he would help me a lot.
Thanks,

Purchased mate 7 32gb from ebay seller

Hi has anyone purchased a mate 7
32gb MT7-TL10 from a seller called sanho2013 ?
I purchased from them and there taking ages to deliver my phone.
He said 4-5 days delivery which states from UK but his account location is hongkong. Either way I wasn't bothered aslong as I get my device. Well I purchased last week on Monday and thursday 27th he sent me royal mail tracking. I've tracked it since Thursday and also rang royal mail as it just says tracking will update when we receive the item. Royal mail said they waiting for the item N that we have the job information like my address but the seller still.hasn't give it to them.
I contacted the seller many times he just said royal mail has got it on 26th which is wrong with estimated delivery 31st-2nd which is different to his original delivery date the 30th. But my argument is royal mail.don't even have it yet so he.is ovsly talking crap to me.
I was just woundering if anyone has experienced this ebay seller before. I did reasearch on his account before I purchased and he had a few thousand positive feedback.
I just don't understand how a £389 device hasn't been delivered to.me after a week and half.

If you order oversea it will take at least 10 days maybe two weeks.

^ seller is shipping from abroad (HongKong) & RoyalMail not got it yet.

The tracking updated last night it is out for delivery. Wish sellers was mote truthfull. It's a lot of money to part with. The sale stated no tax sent from UK.

Perhaps he uses triangle shipping from HK to UK then to you.
If so then you wont have taxes to pay, the phone may not be international version though??

And yes he must use something like that. I dont mind where its from as long as it works on my ee in UK and delivery is correct not 3 days late when they say royal mail has it when they dont
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA Free mobile app

Yes exactly what he does, hongkong to third party in UK as gift or low value so no tax, then on to you.

Finally received my mate 7. What a beast it even had UK charger inside so I'm guessing its the phone is for the UK as was manufacture sealed. Only problem I found was a little dent in the top left hand corner of the bezel. Not too happy about it but not a lot I can do but will contact the seller.

I had the same situation. From a different seller tho. Chinese people have the same tactics.
Try and cancel it, ill tell you where you can get gold mate 7 in a sealed box with eu lte bands with next day delivery for £360
Edit: just read all the comments. I guess im a little bit too late

Haha yeah little late. They ovsly making some money dodging taxs.
£360 is a good price tho I could only find 1 for 389 apart from a dodgy looking site for the 32GB version. So happy with this phone it's awesome. Definitely be looking into buying more Huawei phones in the future. Wasn't sure what I would receive from the seller but it's all UK as has UK charger inside so very happy. Just wish I didn't get a bit of a dent in the top bezel even.tho it's not very noticeable once I no it's there it eyes always sees it. Hoping for the seller to give me a partial refund as it would cost him a lot to return a doa device and then send another 1 out.

What is the model number & firmware version ?
In asia we are experts at opening & resealing boxes, most phones centres where I live have wrapping & sealing machine so you need check things real well.
The gold 32gb dual sim is £300 here & even cheaper than that in China/Kowloon
Do you guys actually have uk warranty ! I have warranty centre in my city near me, almost £400 is a lot of money for no rear retail seller support or reliable warranty.

@techfan1997 I've been using the MT7-L09 model for several months now. It works perfect with LTE on both AT&T's network and T-Mobile's network. It even works well with T-Mobile's AWS 1700 MHz band for its backhaul HSPA+ 4G service. This phone is 100% compliant with US GSM-LTE providers.
