HTC Touch HD ita brand TIM stripped paint!

Hi guys i'm new to this forum and i'm interested in HTC HD really much.. i read all posts from this forum and i have to say that are really helping me to decide to buy it. However i've read on other italian forum that some guys (3 or 4) that has HTC touch hd brand tim after 3 days have their HD stripped! And i think it is really frustating! See the image..
Have you guys the same problem? Do you think could be a difectous and limited production or is a factory problem??
thanks,
Fili

I'd expect a replacement for this. Having said that I just lived with my peeling Trinity until it got so bad I got some emery board and sanded it down to the plastic - far nicer than the original imho.

The phone comes with a soft case, I've kept mine in the case while I've not been using it, also when I've been out have kept it in the case in my pocket (mainly cause every phone I buy seams to end up getting scratched by something in my pocket - keys etc).
Personally I think the phone in the case feels less bulky in my pocket than my Kaiser, despite the slightly increased H/W size.

I had my HD for sometime and not a single problem, its depend how user curry their unit and handle. I will recommend the htc soft case to use always

I have the italian tim version too, from more than 1 week and no problem, I always use the soft bag could be this the problem?

Really thanks guys for your replies, please i need many feedbacks (especially from italian owners of brand Tim) to make a better opinion..
P.s. i'm italian and it interests me to know because in Italy it is sold only branded Tim and if i decide to buy this HD i have to buy a brand Tim.

Seriously, why would you put your keys (known for sharp edges) with your 600 euros PDA??

Mine was always protected by the HTC case, which was came with the phone and look after very well so what can done this, can it be heat that build up by casing? dont yet know.

any other ?

No problems with mine but then again I never had much problems with any phone. I take good care of them...
People that bash them about and expect everything to be perfect is another story.

Are there good plastic case that completely protects this device? I'm sure this would prevent stipped paint problem.

now guys you got me hesitate about buying it, do you mean it has a poor manufacturing quality, that the paint fades easilly what a bummer

Man I have been so careful with my phone and i have the problems too. They are very minute but in 4 places. SO angry. Maybe if i use a black permenant marker to touch them up - it may help.
UPDATE! I just touched the scratched with a black permanent marker pen and left for a moment and then rubbed in with my finger. It DOES help to disguise the defects. A temp solution for everyone.

had mine 2 weeks & yes, my paint is falling off, I have been very very careful with it & never dropped it, im going to speak with provider today, this is not acceptable on a phone that costs this much.
other than that I love this phone.

Guys there is a huge thread about this, read it!!!!

New design on case. Cracks no more!!!

Don't know if this is old news but I just have to speak out my joy. Got my phone back after replacing my case the second time. And finally they have redesigned the case. Hopfully there will be no more cracks on this spot anymore

what awful crack!...

Strange that the "new" redesigned case has date of manufacture -> 08w39 and the "old" cracked one is -> 08w44... Could it be that they knew it all the time that these cracks will be happening, but instead of mass recall the "cracky" cases they sold all of that saying "What will be will be...."

Thats because it is a sticker on the phone. Not the case.

somehow i dont think its the redesign issue, something else thats unknown must be the problem, my xperia date is 09W08 with the same design as the second pic, still no cracks...

Uh... where's the difference in the design? Can't really tell.

Had a crack in the same place, and now also have the "new" redesign case replacement.

No sharp corner in the new design. The first thing you learn to not have when you study design. Everyone learns that except the tossers at SE

yeah bro SE has the worst designs...

Does somebody have the old design on pic without the crack so it will be easier to see?
Edit: Fixed it. Nobody can miss the difference now.

if you look closely you can see the difference. the corner where the crack starts is different from the one without the crack. the corner is filleted (ie. rounded) where as the corner with the crack is pointed.
i was gonna wait before i send my x1 to get the housing replaced. i didn't see why people would send the phone in for repairs when SE haven't even come up with a redesigned housing yet and just end up getting cracks all over again. but now, it seems like a good time to do so. btw, i've counted a total of 8 cracks on my x1.

Good choice. This was my second time I had it on service for a cracked case and if you put it all togehter (had it on service three times) I have had my phone on service for 63 days. That's 2 months on a phone that isn't a year old yet.

time to repair
I have the problem where my phone won't charge unless it's turned off.
But now I also have the cracked case problem.... So I think it is time to repair.
I really love the phone... but at that price, I expect better quality. I just hope they don't keep it too long.

It is two pictures of two old xperia phones. One pic that i found on this forum and one that i shoot of mine, with the new case, in almost the same angel so it would be easy to see the difference.
It amazes me that you cant see the rounded corner in the middle of the lower picture

You are a lucky man. Please tell my how you do it. Is your phone always lying on a pillow on your desk with a bluetooth headset connected to it? Have you not even once dropped it 2 decimeters onto a soft rug?

I have dropped mine more than 10 times. 3 of them hard falls. Not a crack or a scratch on it. I use it all the time, in my pocket, on the desk, in my hand, etc.

Fake HD2?

Hi
One month after I broke my europian HD2 I got nother from a private seller. It has the same 4.3" great screen, but instead of microUSB, it has miniUSB, it hasn't 3.5 plug and seams to be slower and glitchy.
Is it possible to be a fake with 4.3 screen?
Also the info shows:
CPU Qualcom 8520B
RAM 256
FLASH 256
STORAGE 149.97(not the storage card)
Data bus 32 bit
The most surprising is that whenever I start it there aren't any digits below the HTC logo, showing the version.

Yes it is a clone. They have some pretty close HD2 clones you know, just check out the below for example:

Go to this thread and see if this looks like what you have. If so then you have a imatation HD2.

I made some pics:

Yeah it looks like you got a clone there.

I also thought that, but there isn't dual SIM, and the device looks pretty old.
Can it be some old version? The long battery is stunning?
I had 3 Chinese phones before but this one seems to be genius.

Ooooooh
I found it. It's fake:

Too late...
If you had one before it's easy to see that is a clone...

Actually a'll keep it. It's pretty good. The reason that i found it, is that i had one before. The difference is mostly in the memory.

I wanna buy a hd2 but how can i understand either it is fake or not? Is there any other ways to understand it is fake or not rather than memory? Because some clone says they have 1 ghz processor :O checking imei number is useful?

External case it's diferent...and of course it's not the same.If they were the same nobody buys the original...
Diferences:

If it does not have a 3.5 headphone jack and if it has the mini USB connector lick the one in ZEMONTI's pictures. Notice how the USB port sticks out like a sore thumb on his Phone. The real HD2 does .other have this.

See the system (or memory) info! If it has only 250mb, or less it's fake.
Am i write?

gotta admit though, those fake phones are pretty darn slick. not talking about software but hardware-wise those imitations are pretty good.

these fake phones keep on getting better and better

this one takes the cake... It is says HD II on the front, has a windows button, but is running Android 2.2... Check out the claimed battery life, wondering if they are using MAGLDR to get it into ROM, or something else... Whatever it is, this one is pure gold!!!

The fakes do look slick and agree they just get bigger and better. What concerns me tho is the lack of 3G or hsdp network. Both the above links appear to quote 'GSM/Edge', im thinking if running android and are outwith a wifi hotspot then speed would be deminished

ha ha ha !! u have a fake Hd2...now go find some fake xda for ur hd2 !!!

How didn't you notice the missing home button on the front?!
Tbh, these look quite good actually. Still prefer my HTC HD2 though.

Just looked at the HD2 running Android link... The phone has a higher MP camera than the real one.

Me too!!!
I’m still using 3 of mines up until I find a good replacement; I’m stuck on the open hardware and design. I really wish that I was good enough to upgrade the internals myself to something better. I’m waiting for D-two to finish up the bootloader so that I can do some full installs of either a light android OS or a Linux gaming/emulator OS.

Great mate!
Looking forward to get it fully working

Not using it daily anymore...but I still love the design.
Comparing it with the S3 I have now...day and night!
A shame the internet/browser is stone age compared to the newer android phones. Love the keyboard.
Had mine upgraded to 128 mb ram to get iGO8 running fluidly on it...have a lot of good memory's with it while using it while traveling trough the States with it! I will never sell it!
Just now I struggle to get the wifi connection connected...

I've just brought two of ebay I miss my exec! Plus one came with free porn!
I just wish there was a php/script editor for windows mobile...

I use mine daily. I have it running Windows Mobile 6.1 with the HTC Diamond interface. Mostly it sits on my nightstand as an alarm clock/radio... but in June it went with me on a trip to Japan... and in early December it went with me on a business trip to New Mexico for a week. I put a TMobile SIM in it, and I left my laptop at home and relied solely on the Universal. It did great! It plays movies, sends emails, takes calls, surfs the web... and it looks so unique I constantly get asked "what IS that?" .
I wish some manufacturer would bring back the clamshell design, I think the Universal is the perfect form factor... the keyboard is awesome.

I just brought mine back out of the closet. Still works great; I think I'll use it again.

killed mine lately- but are trying to have a new 128

It looks like my use/time is over...
It's a sad day for me. My other hobbies, projects, and life have all changed leaving my Universals and related projects behind. I'm selling my last 4 Universals together on Ebay and my 3 Blue Angels. I had just gotten the one I always wanted too, the all black O2 Exec with blue buttons. :crying:.
It's been some fun years, I hope to see everyone if they ever make a HTC Universal 2, it's not looking likely though.

I have had my Universal for over 8 years now, it has been a good device.
A few weeks ago, I popped a SIM back into it, and tried to make a call - no sound! I poked around some more, and my poor Universal no longer makes any sound at all, thru the speakers or the phone. The mic on the phone no longer works either.
It still sends/receives SMS texts, and still connects to the internet via Wifi and 3G, so it is still somewhat useful. If I can get it working again as a "USB Modem", I will keep it... otherwise, it may be time to let it go..... :crying:

Hi,
I bought one today (it was sold as defect device because of missing charger). Hope I will use it for some time.. I totally loved it when I was a teenager but I never had the money to get one (back then I used other nice devices but as you know - during childhood you never had enough money for that kind of stuff). Now I'm trying to get all the devices I always wanted to own (some kind of a childhood dream, devices like HTC Universal, Nokia E90, Palm T/X & Lifedrive and these things..).
But in daily use I have some other devices such as 5C, 6+ and some HTC and Palm smartphones.

I also had a problem with no sound - it was working only on headphones... till today I'm not sure what was the issue, but i tried to overclock processor, cleaning jack input and other stuff.
I am a proud owner of 128MB RAM version, but I don't use it daily

And mine still rocking!

Need assistence : fake or not ?

Hi everyone,
I am in the opportunity to swap my S4 with a Note 3, but the person claims this Note 3 is from Korea.
I am wondering if it's fake or not.
Screenshot he sent me : https://app.box.com/s/enjy529pg077nemwyc5j
It looks real, but I never heared about a Korean version (however Samsung is Korean, so it could very well be a normal version)
Can you guys tell if this is the real deal ?

Why would he want to swap (no offense) it unless something extra is in for him? It's like going from a super top of the range car to a phone that was top of the range 12 months ago...
Surely in Korea he (in a gadget filled world) be able to supply a picture of his phone in action, e.g. with him holding it and with a piece of paper with his email address and yours written on?

tell him to post the pic of benchmark of the phone took from camera from diffrent angle ..not screen shot

Sometimes people buy something and regret it within a few days.
And then they are looking for something simular, but smaller in size.
I have swapped phones many times and always had a very good deal out of it.
However one should always be very aware of fake (Chinese clones) phones.
And since the Chinese are getting better and better in cloning, it's sometimes really hard to see the difference.
I believe I have found the answer in the meantime myself : http://www.needrom.com/mobile/hdc-gt-n9000/
It's indeed a fake.....HDC GT-N9000 with a MTK6589 chipset
Let this post be a lesson to anyone who will get in the same position

Thats fake. The color is off and the battery percentage is a bit smaller than the original.
Also, I would want to see how cpu Z would read the specs of the device, and how it is going to perform under benchmarks.

The other hint should have been the size of the screenshot provided - the clones are not (yet) 1920x1080.

Also, the Samsung dialer codes don't work on the clones. That's a sure way to tell.

In the Play Store an app can be downloaded, called "Genuine Galaxy S4/Note3"
Download ; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotdog.truth
Can be very usefull as well

It is unbelieveable that how they are coppying this phones !

Yup, Anything can be cloned to look the part, heck even the software clone itself is close enough until closer inspection. - Golden rule I guess in buying a second hand model.
Make sure you give it a really good test run, test the apps, have a look at the battery and insides to make sure that it says SAMSUNG (A few have SUMSANG believe it or not!) - As mentioned elsewhere, a genuine seller will have no objections to you looking over it. Oh and never ever buy blind - if you ain't seen it or felt it in your hand, it ain't worth the risk of a scam.

And real samsung Note3 is start with SM-N code not GT-N9000 like shown in your system info screenshot...

But for others who get in the same situation and want to know how to recognize a fake Note 3, maybe this post is very helpfull.

The one with the Samsung logo isn't the official Note 3 either. Could be a prerelease or whatever, but that is not what it should look like.
Update: when taking a closer look, I actually think it is the first of the Note series. All proportions, the speaker mesh and sensors seems to match that look.

Ya haha the top sensors are wrong, the bottoms too wide and button is too rectangular

It's supposed to be as fast as the HTC One X according to one benchmark.
I think it's neat.

there is only one way to do the things right and have peace of mind, get your phones from carriers or authorized dealers, always the real thing, an always covered by warranty, in irder to save money, many get their phones anywhere, literally on the streets sometimes, but, at what cost later?, I have seen many post like, my home button is loose, have a smear on screen, the colors are horrible, the powee button doesnt work, the screen has a gap, etc, etc, all those problems get solved by warranty, that is why you pay the full price, peace of mind

Surely in Korea he (in a gadget filled world) be able to supply a picture of his phone in action, e.g. with him holding it and with a piece of paper with his email address and yours written on?
