Need a 2nd battery for my phone..wont even last a day while I work. Need it pretty fast so anywhere online that delivers quick to uk!
Anyone know any legit sites? Cheers!
Mobilefun do them for about £20; don't know if you'd class that as cheap or not (they also do cheaper unbranded ones, no idea if those are any good). Plus they deliver pretty quickly (dispatched on day of order, arrived the following day 1st class post).
hmm that abit pricey as im low on cash...
i found this..

No experience with them I'm afraid, but I'd be wary having read through some of their negative feedback (particularly the recurring ones along the lines of 'not genuine, Chinese copy' etc. on listings with "Genuine" in the title (although these weren't all specifically for batteries)).
Might be alright, might not be, but I guess that's the risk you take trying to do things cheaply.
I've bought of E-Cell in the past. Cheap stuff. Delivery is tad slow from times I have dealt with them.
Hmm OEM batteries stated might be fake but i still suggest getting it from people who sells the original htc's one
I sweet talked htc uk and they sent me another one. Have a go.

If you want it quick you might as well forget about buying from e-cell. I've ordered many times in past as there cheap but their delivery is slow as snails. You could probably get something shipped over from China quicker than them.

Currently using Samsung Wave I, on the lookout for a new phone, was thinking of either the HTC HD7, the Xperia Play or the Wave 3? Unsure which would be the best choice of the 3, given each has different specs and OS's so some help would be nice
what is your goal?
what do you want to do with the phone?
Hmm well just want videos, music, texting and fb really, not so much for gaming and would preferably like something with skype and spotify

Hi all, I just watched some cheap phones and I saw this phone here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/new-...re-GPS-GSM-3G-Android-Unlocked/738898065.html
Is this true? Does it really cost 11US with free shipping to my countery as it says? If this is no scam, than it's a miracle!
I heavily doubt its liability . I suggest you to not buy it .
Idk I am going to try to buy it or maybe any other phone in this list you see how cheap they are and getting selled by difficult sellers! http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...&CatId=5090301&SortType=price_asc&needQuery=y

I picked up two from the same seller. One HTC 8X lookalike and the one you linked.
Hey, if they are half decent I'll rip them apart and do something cool.
I don't think that its true. Or just looks to good to be true. Sorry

Thank you! For gods sake BUY A GOOD PHONE, not a cheap chinese brick. At least get a decent phone that could actually work.

Bulk cost of the phone's parts don't always set the price. OP's link could possibly be a liquidation of assets, the already low cost of the phones themselves (probably parts cost of around $30-40, assuming they are using rockchip or allwinner chipsets) would need to be cut down if they need to move product to make room for new stuff.
more importantly, Alibaba/ Aliexpress is fairly risk-free for the buyer.
Description says dual core where title says quad. This is probably a dual core rock chip with a quad Mali GPU like most Android TV Sticks. Screen is 800x480 on a 4.4"... but supposedly has Bluetooth.
I've been around the block with these Chinese products and while it may work, expect a slow and buggy experience. I'm sure it won't support all the needed cell frequencies and dropping connections left and right. For $11 though it may be fun to just play with. Looks like the default OS is MIUI which is kinda cool.
Expect lots of Chinese apps and without root... Your stuck with them.

Hello! I am new to the forum and I am from Romania, so excuse my grammar mistakes. I want to buy a htc one s C2 model but not from store, it`s from a private person. It says it is sealed and with warranty but how i can distinguish an original from a copy?
Thank you!
Don't get the c2 there are better devices out there for the same price if not cheaper

Nexus 4 is more expensive than one s.
The S3 (c2) isnt THAT bad. Its nothing wrong with it performance-wise.
But the custom rom scene is terrible for it, and its **** compared to the One S S4.
Try to get a hold of an S4 device, its so much better than S3. But if theres no way for you to get an S4, the S3 is still a good device if you can live without a bunch of custom roms etc.

Check out HTC's website for pictures, and make sure the phone you buy looks just like the pictures. I am not sure what color you would get, but the design of the device should be the same. If you can remove the back and access the battery, than its a knock-off.

I know all of the review for htc one s..and pictures with him. I want to know something else...i don`t know how to check the imei and all of this stuff.
The IMEI can be checked from system settings<about phone<status. If you are trying to determine is this phone has been reported stolen or something like that, you would probably have to contact the carrier and give them the IMEI number and ask them if the phone is been reported stolen. Of course I don't know if this is even possible with a Romania carrier, thats something you would have to call them about.

Yeah, Nexus 4 price in Romania (in retail stores) is around 500+ euros, but still I've got my One S (Ville, S4) with ~400$, you can get S4 in Romania, you just have to search a bit. There are new ones (online stores) ~500$ and SH ones around 350-400$ with s4 processor. Just keep looking, you'll find a bunch of them

I don`t find the S4, only S3. But it`s such a big difference between them? I don`t use custom rom`s and nothing like that.

There will be quite a difference when playing games, multitasking etc.
like usaff22 said, there's quite a difference when using CPU intensive apps, IMHO S4 is the fastest processor available when comparing core to core performance and keeping in mind that ville and ville c2 have the same price, i would say: keep looking. But if you're not that mad about processor power, s3 will do just fine.

You probably wont notice much of a big difference, unless you got both an S3 and S4 in hand - then the differences become clear, and it is a rather big difference.
So, as long as you stay away from S4 the S3 will seem very fast, but once you compare it to an S4, the S3 will seem extremely slow and you will curse yourself for not getting an S4

No it's not. Buy a sensation if you care about build quality or gs2 if you don't because it has official CM support.

Gs2 is builds of plastic. I wouldn't buy DS because it's single core and it shows. It also has this weird screen issues. Sensation is dual+ newer SoC. But if you want best devs support Gs2 is the one to go with. What's you budget?

One problem is, you can't guarantee that any up-to-date jb (CM10.1) roms will boot on the device, take a look at the non-sony panel guide in the general section...

Sense roms are fully functional on both panel types. Old versions of cm10/10.1 can be booted with a special kernel, but, if I remember correctly, the brightness is stuck and can't be changed.

In my personal opinion, this device is amazing: perfect size (3.7" screen), and an amazing android development: I've recently installed CM10.1 and the phone is incredibly fast (without OC).
But if you are not interested in custom ROMS you can also buy "non-branded" android devices: they are much cheaper.
-S-
well with that budget Desire S is a perfect device
may i suggest you to buy even this (only 20 dollar and u have a NEW device)
there are even other part if u find something broker New cover
or maybe a Orange one

i think is hardware...and the LCD replacement for the sensation costs about costs 70 euro.. i think is not affordable for your budget :S
maybe in this case the Desire S is better
