I just paid for my new HTC Touch HD I got on eBay

I just paid for my new HTC Touch HD I got on eBay last night and it should be shipped out from down under pretty soon. So, I guess that means HTC can now announce all of their cool next generation phones. At least that's how it usually works when I buy something high tech. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting it and going through the process of installing all the software onto it.

congrats mate!!!

im sure ul enjoy it , i do mine
the only thing i feel im missing out on is the app store for the iphone
but that said i still wouldnt swap mine if the chance arose
also give spb mobile shell 3 a look for something a bit different

congratulations! don't worry since you can have fun with the HD for months before anything new comes out, is tested well, and stable!

there has already been a few new phones announced from htc like 1-2months ago, think there's alredy 1 maybe 2 of them already out or due out shortly.

http://www.mobiles.co.uk/htc-touch-pro2.html
there's a topic on here somewhere thats lists the ones that where announced, too late now for me to go digging for it.

hellow, i need your help mates
Where can i buy HD for about 450-500 usd, and where the visa virtuon card is accepted, and is guaranteed that they will ship the pda to me in europe?

I would say eBay as well and then someone who accepts PayPal. Maybe this could also help (sry for bad google translation) you.

Hi materijalmen,
Seeing your flag, I suggest to try:
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/59805/htc-touch-hd-nl.html
You can also do a direct bank transfer with these guys, and they gave me good service in the past. I know it's a bit more than you mentioned, but that's the going rate, unless you want to try marktplaats?

Yes. I've flashed Dutty's rom on it and I've downloaded some other programs I plan to add. I'm learning things as I go but so far I like everything except:
1 The screen goes black during a call. How do I get the screen back up? What if I have to "press one for English"? There's no keypad.
2 Whle trying to delete calls from teh call history I've accidently called people a few times.
3 While trying to install the ROM, which took about an hour, my wife was trying to call me to pick her up fom the metrorail station. She had to wait an hour since I don't have any other phone. Boy was she pissed.

Press the arrow button and the screen should come back on, then their's an option to display the keypad.

Warning When Buying a Phone from a Little Chinese Company

Here's what I get buying a phone from a little Chinese company:
Gmail did not work when I first got the phone.
Oppo released a firmware update yesterday, which fixed the Gmail issue.
However, the firmware introduced a new issue: SMS now does not work
Next update will probably break the phone dialer.
I suppose Oppo doesn't think the fundamental essence (phone/sms/email) of a phone is all that important.

That's not fair mate.
I just got mine today,and I like the phone very much.
If there are problems,the oppo team and forum members will get into it.
If you don't like the phone,sell it.
Don't give the people at oppo the blame,they are doing the best they can.

^^ I have to agree.. but my SMS has been working fine and always has :-/

Haha,Knite75 seriously? You should just mail me your Find 5 if you hate it so much.

Just pre-ordered the HTC One
This Oppo POS will hit the trash bin when the HTC One arrives.

Thanks,if Knite75 doesn't beat you to it and is feeling charitable,I'd appreciate that.

for a company that's as highly regarded for their top end AV equipment.... they'll get it right!

It kind of sounds like you weren't ready for this device anyway, it has been stated OVER AND OVER that the software is still in development and that it isn't perfect yet. However I'm fairly certain that I know what your problem is.
You might have put in the wrong area codes for your contacts, for instance in The Netherlands the number most people would use would be: 06xxxxxxxx instead the Find 5 requires it to be formatted like this: +316xxxxxxxx . It's a hassle but by syncing all of your contacts into google.com/contacts you can edit them within 10 minutes and never have any trouble with it again.
Another thing, try posting these kinds of issues on the OPPO Forums.. They are highly populated and they will help you find a solution for the stock firmware much faster than most of us on XDA could...
Please give your Find 5 to someone who will appreciate it more..

Thank you.
I have over 500 contacts, and most with multiple contact numbers.
I'll see if I can find the time to edit them all to the number format you suggested.
Strange, it was working okay, until the latest firmware update.

I'm guessing your american? In that case you shouldn't use +31 but you should use +1 I believe.
Here is a link that should help: http://www.happyzebra.com/dialing-codes/USA-country-code.php

Awesome, thank you!
Being a phone and all, you would think, Oppo would have the phone and SMS functions all working properly yesh?

I don't know why the phone has a problem discerning which country it should dial I just know it's having some trouble with it.
Might be as easy as writing a base code to change the 0 into the country code the user is currently in.
For international calls you will always have to use the +1/+31 notation.

Works fine here in US, They will get it fixed looked what all they fixed with update number+1.

I probably got my Find 5 well before just about anyone on this forum (devs and beta testers excluded) and since day 1 it's been the best phone I've ever owned/used. Obviously there were problems with the Chinese firmware, but those were quickly resolved. Oppo brings out an update just about every week for this phone. It's fast, slim, beautiful and powerful. And Oppo is a major manufacturer of electronics even in America, albeit for media electronics like bluray players etc. You obviously aren't using Google enough to resolve your problems, and your problems all sound like software related bugs, which can be easily resolved by updating to any official update of the international ROM. Oppo is not to blame.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Smart Dock 50% off w/ free shipping - YMMV

This stupid dock has been perpetually out of stock since I got my Note 2. It would play peek a boo with us for usually 12 hours at a time before going out of stock again. Well, for those of you who want one, now's your chance to get one at half off.
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
This is YMMV, so take it for what it's worth. I had no trouble placing the order, and was off the phone inside of five minutes.
All you need to do is call Samsung's order hotline and place an order for the Smart dock. Tell the rep that you had been e-mailed a 50% off code last year when you registered your phone with Samsung, but the dock has been mostly out of stock since you got the code. The code is now expired, and you were told someone could reissue a new code to you when it was back in stock again.
The number is 1-800-757-0280.
The representative did not issue me a new code, but instead simply took 50% off of my order over the phone with no questions asked. She simply said, "Ok, that's fine. I'll just need your credit card and billing address, and it'll be $49.99 plus tax with free shipping."
Note that this dock also works with the Galaxy S4 as well.
If they ask you for your old code for some reason, just hang up and try again, or post in here, and I'll give you my old, expired code to use.
Receipt added to attachments.

Your Code
Could you PM me your code? The rep wanted it in order to generate a new one. Thanks

It would be easier to just call back and try to get a new person. Here's a 50% off code that was found in a Google search. rE169748w
Normally, they will just have you place the order over the phone, instead of issuing a new code.

it worked!!! i ordered mine today!!!

Any reason this wouldn't work for the GS3 (current work phone). Also, I've heard that this only outputs to portrait mode--any recommendations on apps to force landscape mode--I see quite a few on the play market.
Thanks

You could try auto-rotate switch in the market. The dock is listed as being compatible with the Note 2 and S4.

If you want a technical reason for it, ask Samsung. All I can tell you is that their website lists only those two devices as compatible.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this...I just assumed with the wealth of knowledge on this forum, someone here might know the technical reasons why this would/wouldn't work w/ the GS3, as I'm much more likely to get a quick answer here vs asking a random email at Samsung.

Their staff is actually pretty knowledgeable if you call them up. Just ask for tech support or something. I know the S3 has MHL support, but I'm not familiar with the USB pinouts, which may be different than the Note 2. Quickest answer is going to be a short call to Samsung.

I just took advantage of this today!
easy as can be, just say as op suggests, no code even needed.

Thanks OP!

Could those of you who have this already post up some of the scenarios where you've used this extensively, or even just a one or two time usage that was really cool? I can see some benefits of this, but I can't decide if I'd use it very often...

I mostly just use it as a desk charger. It does make it easy to connect a USB drive though. I have a BT keyboard and a USB mouse connected to it.

Awesome! Worked perfectly for me. Was off the phone in under 5 minutes.

it Almost work for me too... If the agent tells you that she can't enter a promotion code or can't change the price ask her if her manager is able to modify it for her since you don't want to pay more for something you're deem to get less.
I say "almost" because they don't ship to canada.
I'll try canada now... see how it goes.

...
saw this yesterday and got on it tried several times and no one will do it :'(
they all give same reason that 50% off is for 50$ or less items..
if any one gets lucky buy two and sell me one please

HTC One PAKISTAN Users thread

This thread is for all Pakistan based users. Please share your buying experience, accessories info, questions and queries regarding Network Provider based services and ofcourse your experiences with this awesome device!
To start off, I bought mine (Black, 32GB version) a couple of weeks ago, coming from the N4. Got it from a retailer I've gone to before in Zamzama, Karachi,. for Rs 72k. Quite a lot to spend on a smartphone, but I got a good price for my N4 and I really wanted this Homeshopping.pk apparently now has the silver version for under 70k on their site.
There's obviously no warranty but after speaking to Brightex Pakistan (official HTC distributors apparently) they plan on launching the One with warranty by June 22nd, or so they said. Mind you, the price for that will be quite a bit higher than the non warranty version but I suppose the peace of mind is worth it for a lot of people.
After having used the phone for a couple of weeks, and going through several charge cycles, my one and only issue with this phone - namely the battery life - has pretty much been laid to rest. Getting about 3 hrs on screen time and 20-24 hrs total time on a single charge with sync on which is great for me as it gets me through my full work day. Haven't found any glaring glitches yet (thankfully!) and the experience of using this device is completely brilliant!
Have NOT rooted and gone flash crazy yet as I want to enjoy the phone as is for a while. Am just waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update to hit, hopefully soon The only 'accessory' I use right now is my own earphones with this set and they sound fantastic, much better than the included pair.
I've been looking for the MHL and OTG cables but haven't found them yet. If anyone has any info it would be appreciated.
Really curious to find out how many of us in PK have gotten this phone thus far so let us know y'all!

I'm thinking of getting the black but how is your experience with scratches and smudges? Is it really that bad? I'm coming from the black One X but I pretty much kept it in a minimal case most of the time.

Well so far I have not used a cover or case with it since I couldn't find any good quality, minimal, ones. There are no scratches yet but the back does get some fingerprints which you can wipe off. Admittedly since its new I have been careful enough with it but I do carry it in my jeans pocket. So far so good. I think if you're used to having a case on your phone this one will not disappoint you.
That said, I've noticed the camera lens picks up smudges much more than my previous phones. I use a lens cloth to wipe it down after a couple of days or when I can remember.
My other reasoning for not having a case/cover so far is that it just looks so darned nice without them

I think the issue would be one of power. A low power device like a thumb (usb) flash drive gets its power from our phones via the OTG cable but an external HDD requires more power than the phone can provide. Its suggested in the following thread/link that you can use a powered USB hub to power up the Drive and then the OTG will work with the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931990&page=2

Any of you guys who haven't registered your HTC One device with your serial numbers at http://us.htc.com/googleplay/redeem should do so now.
I am not in the USA but was able to receive and redeem the $25 Play Credit by using an alternate Google account then downloading app to phone and switching back to my regular account. Works great, so try it now if you haven't already!

Hey guys i just got the PRIV, so if you have anything to ask or share, i'll try and help.

How much did you pay for it? And in which country are you? Considering getting the Priv, but my country (South Africa) has a tendency to bump the price of electronic devices by about 40%.

How much did you pay for it? And in which country are you? Considering getting the Priv, but my country (South Africa) has a tendency to bump the price of electronic devices by about 40%.

I got it in the UAE for review, It costs around 800 dollars in the market.

Yes sure. anything specific?

How does it work with non-English keyboard layouts (Finnish for example)? I am interested in hearing if there is a sensible way to type äö etc. letters while the slider is out.

Works well both of them. No lag as such. gets a bit warm but not too uncomfortable.

Hey bro I got the priv on 7th November for $ 850 in UAE so far using for 3 day now and im impressed, the only negative is the back feels a bit flimsy. What about yours?
I had a note 5 before this and note 4,3,and htc m8 etc. so never used stock . I had freezing issues on my fone so never really liked the note 5 and glad i switched.
I dont like the photos and music app can you recommend me any relaible and user friendly alternatives.
Plus does your fone also get extra warm during normal use.
And i read somewhere it has wireless charging but mine doesnt work on the samsung's wireless dock.

I think the back is little wonky because of the keyboard, but nothing big really. Ever so slight.
Play music is the best i always use that. For Gallery try QuickPic or Picktures. They are pretty neat.
Yes Phone does get warm abot with normal use, but cools off quickly. Hopefully they fix it with new updates.
I tried using a couple of wireless chargers, but no go!

From what I read somewhere, wireless charging is only available in the model they sell in the US blackberry store. Not sure why. Also someone mentioned that the back is more flimsy on the models that do not have wireless charging, probably because the extra room needed for wireless charging part.
EDIT: Some clarification on wireless charging, apparently only available on models purchased from the Blackberry store both in US and Canada. Carrier models do not have the feature.

can you tell me how to buy the phone in egypt please ?

I got a Priv as well on Nov. 6th. First one to walk into Rogers and pick one up before they disappeared.
The back does feel a tad flimsy on the Canadian model (without wireless charging) but nothing deal breaking; would have been nice if they put something in there to prevent any depressing of the back of the device. I am putting a hard case on mine though so I won't even notice it.
Device is comfortable, the software is well integrated, gaming performance is excellent. As others mentioned, it does get a bit warm on processor intensive tasks but nothing uncomfortable.
I think BB should have partnered with Samsung and used an Exynos CPU instead of the Snapdragon 808 -- the Exynos 7420 is way better than the Snapdragon 808.

what specific model number did you get?

Well mine is the Canadian carrier model, STV100-3.
I believe the ones sold by Shop Blackberry and carried by American carriers are STV100-1, which do have Qi charging.

Could one of you check if the physical keyboard layout dialog is in its usual place at "Settings => Language & input => Physical keyboard => first entry"?
If so, could you pull the contents of /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars (should be quite small)? I'd like to have a look at their physical keyboard layout files, for creating a Finnish layout.
