So I bought one because the price was too tempting for the 8/128gb model. Did they ever have the 2 colour in stock or is that the 12gb model?

Didn't know about the code, could have saved £25. Thinking if I can cancel and order again. Has anyone had theirs shipped yet?

Hi,
Ordered without the Code but I hope with the Special Early Birds gifts...
Wasn't aware of that code
I also ordered the dedicated case.
And I have chosen the "Fast shipping" option.
So far, order is "Unfullfilled".
So they say it's shipped....
So far my order is "Unfullfilled"
They can announce that it's shipped as much as they want...
Until I won't get the message that the phone is shipped, I won't believe in it.
And I have some doubts about their approach.
First they say "Red" and "Camo" => "Out of Stock" (as "Sold so fast").
And now it's "Coming soon"...
So was it ever "In stock" ?
Or did they just make believe it was so successful ?
And was the Black one ever in stock ?
Besides : I choose "Fast shipping" for a product supposed to be stocked.
What does "Fast shipping" mean ?
Means I will get in 2-5 days after I placed the order ?
Apparently, it is more : "2-5 days after we will send the product"... Ah. "One more thing... We won't be shipping it before 10 days".
Last : I sent them an E-mail asking when it is supposed to be shipped.
Now, 48 hours later, I am still awaiting a reply... that will probably never come.
And what if I havbe a problem with the phone ?
I suspect I'll be on my own...
Not even received the product, that I already regret it.
So it has to be a HUGE "WOAH" effect
But I guess it will be

The Pro Package is automatic on all orders made before May 29. The code was only for a 5% discount.
But damn still not shipped here and now the website says ''Red Magic 3 (Black / 8GB+128GB) will resume shipping on 10 June''

I don't really know what the Pro package contains...
Just got an answer from Red Magic Team saying the device should ship today or tomorrow.
Let's see...
I'll keep you posted.

Nice! Estimated delivery is set here on tomorrow. That really fast if true and i didn't use priority shipping. :victory:
Same, delivery tomorrow and I paid the extra for faster shipping because it was only £6 and supposedly safer.
mine was just delivered, also with priority mail. still at work though so cant play just yet..
Just got it and was include the pro package, but no powerbank. I also played a bit with the phone and it's very fast. Also the screen is nice with 90Hz. There are some thinks i don't like or can't find.
1. When switch on dark mode, it still stays on light mode
2. No theme engine with theme store
3. Can't find the navigation buttons settings, i want to use swipe buttons
4. Speakers are not really good, when i compare them with my Mate 20x. I also can't find any audio settings
5. Don't like the screen corners, they almost hit the battery icon and when playing a video it looks a bit weird or when playing pubg you miss some screen/text around the corners.
I will play some more with it tomorrow and see if this is a keeper or not.

Here are some pics of the new T-Mobile device
http://www.tmonews.com/2011/05/t-mobile-branded-htc-sensation-4g-in-the-wild/
Thats a damn shame Tmobile has to put that ugly damn logo right on the front of the damn phone, put it on the back or something. But enough complaining, this phone is gonna be absolutely stellar and the new and improved htc sense is absolutely terrific, this phone is an instant win
great find!
the box is a little different than the vodafone version, but aside from the logo pretty much the same.
sigh... I knew it was a long shot but was secretly hoping that t-mo would somehow get a bicolor version back
I can't wait! June 8th is taking forever
Anybody know if mobilecityonline is trustworthy? They have the T-Mobile unlocked Sensation 4G for $600. 100 more than I think T-Mobile will have it for but it'd be unlocked...

why order it from a 3rd party online when you can order it directly from tmo on june 8? unlocking it won't be a problem I'm sure
The option for international shipping I think is a big reason.

Aside from the international shipping that Elchemist mentions (I have friends in the US who might be able to bring it to me) I don't know if unlocking is that easy.
Unlockers and repair shops here in Mex tend to be befuddled by foreign phones (one more reason I wish I were back in Canada) and T-Mobile, according to their page, only gives unlock codes to account holders in good standing (45 days postpaid, 60 pre-pay). This leaves the option of online unlocking services which sometimes take a while to appear for new handsets (I don't feel like having a phone for a month which I can't use for calls).
solsearch, an easier way would be to use one of the online unlocking sites and just input the code yourself. Now if only S-Off was available...

yeah I'm curious why tmo went with different packaging as well. it's the same as their version of the hd2
Does anyone know what types of goodies the sensation is coming with? (the contents in the box)
what was shown in the link was headphones, charger, USB to microUSB cable and battery.
EDIT:
on closer inspection, the open back shot shows a microSD card of unknown size. The vodafone versione comes with an 8GB card pre-installed in the phone.

Well, first I'm going to see if my uncle is still with T-Mobile as that'd be the easiest/surest way.
As for the packaging I don't really get why people care, vendors, reviewers, etc. sure as it affects appeal, but for those who already decided to buy it? Does it really matter? Worst case scenario you keep the box at the back of some closet or you toss it, it doesn't affect the device (branding on the device is another matter). Too bad branding is on the screen, if it weren't people who really cared could just buy a different back cover.
And it seems it won't come with a microSD card according to that screen shot (the one of the box). Remember that just because the pics show one in the phone it doesn't mean it'll be included, after all whoever is using it probably would want one in there... I'm slightly disappointed but I don't care too much as I'll be buying a 32GB one anyways. I could have used the 8GB one for less used content but 8GB cards are cheap anyways.
But I think I am definitely getting the T-Mobile US version as it kind of seems like kismet. My birthday's on the 9th and if I'm really lucky I can have this prezzie for myself on that day
I hope mobiTv, telenav and some other useless apps will not be preloaded. Also hope it will have tethering option right out of the box like G2x and G2. The greatest feature of tmous, wifi caling should be there but just worried about the battery when it comes to wifi calling. It seems to kill battery very quick on my Vibrant and it was also battery hog on G2x. Still very excited for june 8th though!
Edit: just saw mobiTV on the box, dang it!... T-mobile we dont want your bloatcrap on the phone!

That's good. I just assumed it wouldn't be as it isn't mentioned in the "What's Inside" part (I figured they'd mention it even if not the size).
I don't work for them...I got mine in the mail today and IMO for 99cents i am past impressed. So I did a video to show you guys.
http://youtu.be/Dog_DpsR7uk
I don't like the power button issue as I can NOT even wake my phone..so it becomes useless.
Dude, I need the text notification ASAP.
Also, I got two of these for me and my wife and had the same issue. I ended up just cutting the area out.

But to the other guy above..That stuff off Ebay is from Hong Kong. No way am I waiting a month for an order. lol

I got it from uk and it took 4 days to come here. There are also USA sellers on eBay not just from hongkong.

Since I been using this my screen has started going nuts. Doesn't read touch at times when trying to unlock the screen. New one should be here today. Says it's out for delivery..but u know T-Mo uses "Next Day-Super Saver" so that means you wont get it until 4:30pm which is the end of day for deliveries..smh
Last week Samsung offered IPhone users the chance to sign up and use the Note 5 and S6E+ for 30 days for $1. I signed up for the Note 5. I'm interested to know if anyone else here signed up for the promotion, and if so have you received any shipping info. I'm waiting on an email with the shipping info.

I was thinking the same thing. It would have been better if they promoted this at their keynote for the phones. It would have given more people the opportunity to think of switching. That two day shipping was jacked up. I was crazy excited then it turned into the waiting game. Now that I know it's coming I'm back excited.

Funny because I just received a call from Samsung. It'll ship either tonight or tomorrow and I'll recieve it either Saturday or early next week. The rep said that their shipping has been delayed because of the amount of orders. I can rest easy now
Also:
The last android device I had was the Samsung Galaxy player. Any suggestions on rooting and if it's possible with the S6 edge plus or note?
I just read on xda they achieved it on the T-Mobile version. So I'm hopefull it will be achieved. These devs are really impressive.

Oh so Different carriers lock them. What can you do with root access?
Early on you could use it to turn your phone into a hotspot without shelling out the extra $20 a month. Right now they already have a fix for that to where you don't have to root in order to take advantage of that. My first thing I always do is to see if I can install this sound mod from this dev Viper. You can truly take control of the equalizer and make your headphones really good.

Ooo. Surprised they don't allow root access. What about changing the UI. Keep hearing that touch wiz is bad.
It use to be terrible. They really cleaned it up every year. To where now it is a pretty decent launcher. I personally prefer Nova Launcher. Especially now that some launchers almost theme the entire system and not just the icons and home screen. With rooting some devs will make custom roms with some pretty awesome features, over locking even run stock android if you want.

I'll have to try out nova launcher when my phones get in. I hope they gave me a good one too.
If I were to get my hands on one, would I be able to put GAPPS on it?
Serious question... Can't live with a phone without GAPPS.
Any serious thoughts about this?
IMO xiaomi.eu will probably have a ROM for this phone and it will include everything you need.

Thank you for responding. Nothing listed there yet (although, my account registration was considered spam, so I cannot see more than then the basics and cannot interact yet on that site). Is it generally the case that a new Xiaomi phone gets an EU rom even if it is not sold to their market? It is so tempting, to go the xiaomi route, I wish the oneplus 8Tpro was out right now, as I am in the market for a phone in the next two weeks ... not in October. Not sure if I could stomach having an outdated phone after a month or so... Generally, it is nice to have new tech be top shelf for at least a few months, right?
Hmmm - Food for thought.

Just get whatever you like.
Phones won't stop coming out. Till the end of the year there will be new Huawei, new Pixel, new OnePlus, probably new Oppo.... and then the circle starts all over again.

If I were to get my hands on one, would I be able to put GAPPS on it?
Serious question... Can't live with a phone without GAPPS.
Any serious thoughts about this?

This is how I have done it on Mi 9 Transparent Edition. Don't see why it wont be the same.

Yes, it seems that gaps is easily placed on the device. Source:
Thank you for the response.
And while it would be great to have the best camera... I probably need to buy the oneplus 8 pro. I've gone a long time without active Google assistant, closed bootloader, and (as a non Mandarin user) the annoyance of Chinese menus/ecosystem within an 'English' setting. Also, been without an active community of English using Android users for some time with this Huawei I'm using.
Want to grab a phone next week... And Xiaomi looks like it is using that impossibly annoying hungry marketing technique where the sell a very limited number of phones at a certain time each day. I got 'lucky' buying my Samsung 8 with that type of annoying system on the first day or two, but..... So annoying when you're a bit slow at Chinese and you're actually competing to buy a product. So... Actually... Competing to spend money seems odd too.
Ok. One plus is well over a thousand RMB cheaper where I am too. Lastly, Think I'll enjoy the software experience more and hopefully won't notice the camera too much. Hoping that the October release of 8t Pro will not be too much of a massive upgrade and have me annoyed either
To those who grab the Xiaomi ten Ultra. Enjoy and hope to read some reviews soon.

Just to give you a heads up -> Xiaomi has a very large and active English community. All phones are easily unlocked and the community have been doing a great job to provide debloated English roms no matter if you buy a Chinese or global variant.
OP 8 Pro is a great device too.

Thank you for your reply. I have always enjoyed tinkering with Xiaomi products and ROMS. I have also often assisted non-tech interested colleagues to put GAPPs on or re-Rom to global over the years I have lived in China. Although it did get a little challenging for a period of a year not too long ago. I actually really love what they do ... and funnily I can see about half a dozen Xiaomi smart devices in the room I am typing from at home right now. Man, I love their door lock!!!! Ha.
I was really going to wait until 21 August 10 am and try to pick one up, then if not, get the Oneplus... but decided against it. A few reasons. I just realised that even if I picked up the way more expensive Samsung Ultra, I am missing out on some Google aspects that I crave and have craved for many years (see my phone history in sig). Even the Global ROMs (no guarantee one will appear for this China-only variant) have trouble using Hey Google natively in my experience - (could be wrong on that one)
Even so, have gone with the Oneplus pro purchase just now and that phone will arrive tomorrow. Would have arrived tonight if I had ordered 10 minutes earlier. lol - nothing like Chinese delivery systems I suppose. Or at least compared to Aus.
Another couple of things did sway me. Xiaomi phones are great but they honestly do sometimes go overboard with their claims. I can't be sure about this device's battery life longevity. Especially considering their claims of 23 minutes for full charge look to be false ( I know still the quickest). I remember their camera claim for 108 Megapixel etc fell short of being a top-line camera despite the hype. Often seem to use an angle that disguises a hidden flaw. Anyway, This understanding, combined with my full google assistant want, means I will miss out on it. Maybe when my wife updates her phone and they are more readily available (seriously, trying to compete with a billion people to purchase an online product when you're hampered by language constraints suck), I can switch her to this 10 Ultra (she takes waaaay better photos than me anyway).
Until then, Look forward to reading more about people's 10 Ultra as time goes by. Seems this is my last post in this forum thread ofor the Ultra for now.
Cheers!
Graphene battery is surely the future.
You can install the Play Store from the built in Mi App Store, then install all the Google apps you want from there.
Worth it. Best phone
I came from note 20 ultra and let me tell you this is much more comfortable in hands. Playstore is just one download away from having everything. I'm alsomuch happier using this phone tbh and manage to get back 500usd.
I got the Ultra yesterday, i can see that most Google stuffs work and i can set them up, no issues with location.
BUT here's what's not working:
1. Google Backup and Restore, stuck at waiting for backup.
2. Google Location History, i saw the option yesterday in settings, but it was greyed out, somehow after a reboot, the option disappear. Can't turn it on no matter where i try it from.
I am having am SOT of 5h 10m with about 20% power left.
Anyone else got the Mi 10 Ultra, got Google Location History working?
Mine the option is missing in Settings, and it's disabled or permanently off in Google account / maps.
Permanently off:

Just want to be sure it's not my ROM issue, lazy to reset and wipe cache to try again.
I've seen it talked about before on chinese roms and even Xiaomi devices,. I don't use it myself so unsure of a fix sorry but I did check my phone and it's exactly the same as yours looks
Sorry to hijack this thread. I just bought the mi 10 ultra. I installed playstore and all Google apps. But I realized that playstore is asking me to pay for apps I had previously purchased, even though I used the same account to log in. Anybody encountered this or know the solution?
Honestly start the unlock process and think about moving to xiaomi.eu
I didn't have that problem but a few Google things didn't work on stock. That's a really common issue though, I'd recommend googling it and trying what comes up, it's an extremely common issue with Google play services

Works just fine on EU ROM, see screenshot attached from today.

Yes of course it'll work on EU ROM, my problem is with the stock rom.
I do not want to risk SafetyNet and Widevine L1 by unlocking..
Why would you unlock the phone then if you are staying on the stock Chinese ROM? If you're not going to flash, then don't unlock.

Widevine is level L1 on the .EU rom - so you're fine there. As for SafetyNet: all banking apps, government authorization apps and such work just fine on the unlocked - but NOT rooted - .EU rom.
So I don't see the problem.
Exactly what the title says. I've got two orders, one from 7/22 and one from 7/26. Both show the trade-in kit as "not shipped", "pending". Yesterday I contacted Google support and supposedly they shipped two new kits because I should have had the original ones by now, but I haven't received any shipment emails on those either. Just curious if others were experiencing the same.
Not yet, though they said mine shipped and said 7 business days after receiving the device. I would expect them soon.
I got my trade in kit a couple days ago. I just sent my 3axl back today.
And as soon as I posted this my kits both arrived

Make sure you send the right kit back or they won't find it. Call before.

Ahh sorry back. It was @adrman I meant to quote. He reordered the kits and will have 2 coming for one device. I had that problem before and It took many calls for them to find the return.
Mine came yesterday. Sending my 4a back tomorrow.
fwiw, I gotta say, that's one hell of a deal! If I count the Pixel Buds A at their retail price of $100 then I'm out only $50 for a BIG step up vs. the 735G chipset plus it fixes my main grump about the 4a being just a lil' too small. I was lookin' at used (open box) Pixel 5s mostly for the 6" 'perfect' screen size, imo, right before this deal popped. Hell...6.1", close enuff!
Mine said delivered 2 days ago and wasn't there. Hate USPS! What's in the kit, a box and an airbill?

Yep, packaging to send it back in and a prepaid return sticker.
I already sent mine out on Monday
It was my Pixel 3A.
I made a video of it working then rebooted it, then clean flashed it and then packaged it up and sent it out
I made the video just in case Google says anything wrong about it or anything. It's a pristine condition and I should get my $300.
There's not one scratch on it barely used as I am disabled, don't use a phone much. Always make a video of whatever you're doing with any phone
Mine was delivered to them yesterday but Google store still saying has not arrived. USPSaroed it Delivered to Individual. We'll see next week once they start processing them.
Kit came on Thursday and I shipped it back, it's supposed to arrive there on Monday
Received my kit last Monday and mailed it back the same day. Google still hasn't received it. It is now two days late.
Can someone post a picture or two what the kit and return form looks like? Since mine says delivered and I never got it, I'm about ready to just pay to mail it back myself. Just want to be sure I get the paperwork/return address right.

Its a small box, just slightly bigger than the one the phone comes in. Maybe 10x5x1" or so. All white with a address label with a barcode on it, and feels empty as there is only paper in it.
Got mine Tuesday (8/2). Sent it in the following Friday
