T-Mobile HTC One S color?

Anyone know why T Mobile is only launching with the "gradient blue" version and not the micro arc oxidized version that is available internationally?
I have fallen to like the gray version a lot more so I will be getting that but I once was set 100% on getting the red/black one. I'm sure someone people will be disappointed that the red/black version won't be on T Mobile.
*T Mobile at MWC Feb 2012 announced a gray version only, so MAO failure is not the reason for only one color.
Anyone here have the gray version? Thoughts on it? Is it aesthetically pleasing? How does it feel in the hand or outside in the sun? I want to hear some opinions on it before I get it next week.

Hey, I got the grey a few days ago and I absolutely love it; the colours are great, especially the blue accent around the camera and the beatsaudio logo.
Also, no scratches on it =)

The looks is nice for both of phones, but Both of them have one downside... Black have chipping problem, while Gray is slippery

I was at a local T-Mobile store today looking at the dummy unit and the guy told me that they will be getting the black version in the beginning of June. He even checked with his boss when I asked him more about it. I have no idea if its true but they seemed pretty confident. I'm not sure if I want to wait though...

Interesting news...Good for the people who want black.
For myself I am getting gray. I can't go another month waiting for the One S when the Gradient Blue color is already flashy by it self. It would be a nice change having a gray based color phone for once. I have watched literally dozens of videos on Youtube regarding the One S, Form factor is nice, Sense 4 is spectacular, I'm practically obsessed with the phone. Waiting an additional month would be like consuming chilli peppers in the desert, I won't be able to handle it. That being said even if both colors were to be released I would choose gray now.

I personally like the black version, I think it looks a lot nicer but I'm concerned about the chipping. I hope that the version that comes to T-Mobile doesn't have this problem.
Having said that, I'm not sure if I want to wait... Playing with the dummy unit makes me want the phone even more. I will probably just get the phone but time will tell.

Simple questions before buying Xperia S

Hello guys...
After too much confusion I finally decided to purchase XPS. Just few questions:
1) I read it has plastic body, does that plastic body get scratches too easily after all its main advantage is its design ? Because every now and then my phone fell down from the bed
2) What about its dev community ? Are the new games like asphalt 6, modern combat 3, shadowgun available for the xps ?
3) and yes, what about the Yellow tint issue ? Is it resolved by the sony or still I am in luck to find a good phone ?
4) What you suggest, should I wait for HTC One X price to drop so I can buy it ... Because I would love Quad core, will my xps dual core lag if I play games too much ?

Guys.. I am thinking to change the decision just bcoz of yellow tint issue
talk.sonymobile.com/thread/34135?start=645&tstart=0 45 pages !!! too many users having this problem

Do you still want answers to your questions since you're thinking of not getting it? What device are you planning to get in that case?

I am confused again When I first got to knw abt yellow tint I thought it must be on very few phones.. but I guess I am wrong ?
I really like xperia, got xperia active right now. Don't want to get something else than xperia s but I don't want to take risk !

If you "don't want to take the risk" then choose a different device. Otherwise, get it (It's your choice).

Do you have xperia s? or if any of the reader has it.. can I ask what "good thoughts" you have so u purchased it regardless of its yellow tint issue... ?

the case on SEs don't get scratches easy, I dropped mine about 12 times, no scratches on the case or cracks on the screen, only thing is when I used my foot to bring it back to me - bad idea.

Some people report not having it, treating it by pressing down on the screen, it fading away overtime or when the battery temperature is low, it staying forever, etc, so I don't know.

I think S2 or Sensation XE would be my choice if I don't buy XPS because SIII and HTC One X is out of my budget. These would be my first time purchasing any non sony ericsson mobile. I had W302, then X10 mini pro, then Active and now it would be XPS if there had been NO yellow tint issue ... But I would search on internet more on this and tell you guys which mobile I go with.
Any other choice than XPS, S2, XE with same budget?

Guys.. Even for yellow tint issue I am going for XPS I will try to purchase the phone from latest batch and will tell you how it goes !!! I hope I won't get the yellow tint issue :good:

if ever u get the yellow tint, you can get it replaced.
about scratches, mine just got its first bigtime,. fell about 2 feet on street and top corner border for the back cover easyly got dented! was thinking of melting it back to position but it may just look worse.,
soft matte finish = bigtime scratch magnet

I've had my Xperia S since initial release in the UK so I will answer these questions as best I can for you.
1. You'll be fine with not getting scratches too easily because I've only got a few scratches on my back cover and I've dropped it loads when I've been drunk.
2. Yes, those games you mentioned are available but the 3 newest ones to become available are Asphalt 7, The Amazing Spiderman and Sonic 4 Episode II and they all run perfectly without lag. I confirm that myself.
3. I believe I'm right in saying that you won't have the yellow tint issue because that was only on the earlier releases, like mine. AFAIK, all models made since then haven't had this issue. But even if you do, as mentioned you can send it to Sony and they will send you a replacement.
Not gonna answer question 4 because you've already bought this phone. I hope this has helped you

White S4 Vs Black S4 Build Quality

So I after owning 2 Black S4's I now own my first white S4 and I can tell you that build quality seems much, much better with the white model. My 32GB S4 had a sunk in home button, which was annoying. It feels more responsive when its slightly elevated. My 32GB S4 also had the notorious headphone crackle and pop when the music was turned very loud. Whenever you pressed the phone to your ear, you would hear a creaking noise. This was annoying. Fortunately, I was able to exchange for the white 16GB, which seems much more solid and overall better. All S4's are definitely NOT made the same. I've noticed the white models seem to have better, more responsive home buttons than the black ones.
So what do you guys think about Samsung build quality?
But I'm good to go now. Rooted running Task650 AOKP rom. This rom makes the phone the beast it is.

I sold a white one that seemed to have no support structure for the glass near the home button. You could press it and the panel flexed passed the bezel. Haven't seen a black on do that out of all the ones I've sold. Also had a white ones bezel not pushed all the way in but also had that on a black one.

I have a black one and could not be happier, I'd say it's hit or miss with the building quality I don't think it has anything to do with color

I'd have to second that.

We have one of both. My wife has a white, and I have a 32 gb black. Not sure if they are different in build quality, but did notice her capacitive buttons are very easy to activate, almost too easy.

So let me get this straight. You had a black 32GB S4 that you traded in for a white 16GB S4? Are you nuts?
I have the black 16GB model (you can't get a 32GB S4 in Canada - Samsung Canada is saying they have no plans to release them) and have absolutely none of the issues you are seeing.

I've had two black and one white so far. No issues with any of them besides touchwiz of course.

Not seeing any differences.
My girlfriend and I both have the 16gb models. Hers in white, mine in black. I can't tell any difference between the build quality. Both home buttons are raised the same amount and take the same amount of force to push. I did notice that my S4 was a little snappier when closing and switching apps. I think this is just my experience in knowing how to turn off all the S-features. Just my two cents comparing the two.

No issues with my black 32GB model

My first black s4 was exchanged due to a line under the glass and my 2nd one had a loose volume rocker. The 3rd one is pristine. I dont have any experience with white s4's though.

It looked like a scratch and would be quite visible under higher brightness. It is quite hard to explain.

All black 16 and 32gb models here, all made in Korea and no QC issues to speak of.
The quality differs from sample to sample about as much as you would expect in a modern device.
The HTC One, OTOH, seems to vary much more and that is not good.
One thing you will want to do is remove all of the plastic sticker material. The camera and the Novatel wireless label are the most obvious. However there is a plastic sticker on the speaker grille (remove the back to get to it) and around the entire bezel there is a sticker. Run a fingernail along and you will catch the edge. Just get it started and you will get it.
It's much better without all those pesky stickers!

I've had plenty of Sony's in my past, but I am in no way a fan boy. I'm interested in your thoughts, but I give you some things I've found across the 4-5 I've owned;
1) The build quality of Sony devices are typically very good. Just picking them up is a pleasure.
2) You may find the interface interesting at first, but it typically is not far off from stock, and they do have some nice apps. (PS, I miss the tiny apps or whatever they were called).
3) I love the camera button - you'll miss it once you don't have it
4) It seems that volume for music etc is typically lower than on other devices. It used to take rooting and changing build prop etc... to make it LOUD. GSM review seems to like audio on the xz2
5) Updates are frequent
6) Root is easy to acheive, but breaks some things until the wonderful modders get involved and fake the DRM keys
7) #6 makes custom rom's a fools errand early on - Hopefully Trebel helps that and the DRM thing becomes easier
8) If you think the battery will last X, it will shock you how much longer than X it lasts. Sony is PHENOMENAL with power management.

in all recent sony phones unfortunately they use to add some proprietary sw alghoritms for improving the camera performances or other visual things that once you unlock your device's BL get lost. and can't be retrieved anymore or at least it is not very easy (in certain devices you can backup and restore them later, in some others you can't). so basically often if it is not a good choice to unlock the bl to flash a custom rom or even to just root your phone as the camera performances would su*k afterwards.. also because of this development on sony phones is pretty small and slow...
let's see how it goes with this new model, if drm keys will still be there what we would lose exactly unlocking the BL.. hope nothing too important it would be a pity cause with treble support we could expect some more development!

I saw the xz2 compact couple days before first time in local store. was pretty impressed. It was the black one. Looked a bit like a small business phone. I was just to buy a Pixel 2 after i returned my galaxy s9 due to light leak. but i saw it and could play with it a bit and compare with Pixel 2. I was not so impressed by the pictures and thickness of xz2c in the web after announcement but after holding it i can say the design is pretty perfect for me. No sharp edges anymore that are hurting your palm while holding it. The IPS Display was bright, sharp and colorful without oversaturation. The blacks are almost at OLED Level in comparison to my old z3 compact. Whitebalance is perfect and if you dont like it you can change it a bit warmer or colder in the settings. Finally no burn-in danger like on amoled. In my hand it did not seem so thick like on the pictures in the web. IT was comfortable to hold. Fingerprint scanner is much better located on the xz2c than on xz2. its higher and easier to reach. Vibration motor is finally better and not like on xz1c or xc. it was like a crazy bee in the the past. now perfect. Camera is also definetely better. Not on s9 or pixel 2 level in lowlight but really a visible improvement. of course the s9 can get more light at night but for me its ok. but wish it would have dualpixel autofocus. frontcam has also no auto softskin filter applied like in the past. Additionally Dual sim and sd card. maybe some will be able to port the gcam portrait mode to this nice phone. speakers are louder. not perfect like S9 with dolby atmos but a very good solid performance. maybe also someone will be able to create a mod with atmos support. the buttons could be a bit harder. i fear that in your pocket they could be pressed unintentionally. additionally i hpefully also get the hear on headphones or a ps vr in germany. a nice bonus. Android 8 runs perfectly smooth and quick on the device. much quicker than on any galaxy phone.
Finally my long search has now an end. i have returned my Galaxy s9 due to repeating light leaks. xz2c should arrive next week after easter and my z3compact can finally go to well deserved retirement.

thanks for sharing your early impressions! sounds good! I too hope I found a nice compact phone again to stay with for some time rather than changing it continuously looking for the best solution :laugh: I also had a green z3c which was beautiful, but this time the green version seemed pretty dull on web pictures, so I went for the white/silver one...
but in this nice (ITA) review I saw yesterday, green seems much more vivid and nicer, more like my old z3c! don't know if this is the real green in the end, but if it is, I think it was better than the white :crying:
had you a chance to see from real also the green version? if so how it looked?
btw can't wait to get it.. hopefully in about 10 days maximum from now? :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: about the navbar order, really don't know, hope so cause I too prefer back button on the right! :silly:

i have the black one lying next to me. its a bit heavy after long term use. wish it would be a bit less heavy. sometime the edges of the usb-c port are irritating my small finger. would be better if sony have moved the usb port to the top.
the bottom mic hole gets sometimes covered by the hand when holding in landscape. on the right side would be better for the hole.
otherwise its a really nice phone. like the frontcam

just got mine and first impressions are.. wow! so beautiful in white and silver color.. really much better than I expected, from the images I was little worried but looks very nice in my hand! doesn't feel too heavy or thick to me, even after applying tempered glass protection and a cheap transparent cover for the back.. and usage with one hand is perfect! so far so good.. will see if I see problems later one.
only down side for me so far is the curved screen, that makes the glass protection to raise a little on the sides :crying: I expected that because of the curved screen, but I bought a smaller tempered glass meant to cover only the flat part of the screen so I hoped it would have been better, but still looks not so nice.. just aesthetic of course but don't like it.. damned curved screens and who invented them!

yeah the s9 feels more balanced since it has 5gramm less and its bigger so the feeling is a bit different. the xz2c feels like a car with very heavy motor in the middle or back.
wonder if sony have put some bricks inside to make it so heavy.

XZ Premium Screen Burn Issue

After about a year and a half of use my XZ Premium has burn marks on the right side of the screen (see link attached). Is this fixable without replacing the screen or does it have to be replaced?
https://imgur.com/a/e1LqXsq

Those are pressure marks. LCD's don't have burn. It could be from the battery or something else. Either way, you would need to replace LCD.

How much does it cost to replace the screen? I might consider buying a new phone instead if it will cost me too much.

Why would you replace it? If the screen works, i would keep using it. Save your cash until it dies completely

I also have one in the left upper corner near the sim card tray. It is common with these lines of Xperia, up until they changed to amoled. Usually it does not bother and it can bee seen only under black or dark colors or bright white. Keep in mind that in some cases it spreads and the screen looks really bad. A replacement ends up to about 100$. It does not worth it. Unless you really love the phone.

So far mine is only visible on bright images. I have been taking care of my phone and it just saddens me that this happened. I wasn't planning on switching anytime soon because recent Sony flagships don't really interest me to do an upgrade :laugh:

I have this problem for about 4 weeks For me on the left side of the screen appeared It is quite visible I took care of this phone too :/ For now it works. I have Root, so probably nothing from the guarantee from T-Mobile

I see that it's quite a common issue. Does anyone know why this happens?

Hi I had screen burn on second hand one i bought it not that old and rebooted often and then wouldn't charge so getting refund just now. The xz1 and xz2 have dropped to similar price on eBay on some listing which is eat phone to buy any problems with news xz lines they still waterproof I live on a boat so important
