bye bye tytn

im on my 3rd one and it blacks out and the screen doesnt reposition properly this time. 1st two had the SA problem.
such a good phone, but i cant take its bugginess anymore!
gonna get an E70 or E50!

i agree 100%
i am on my second one and just cant stand the bugs
i am thinking of getting the artemis....the one with the GPS
i love the little ball thing it's just amazing.....
just dont know..
i am definately gona miss the keyboard on the tytn
nut anyway no point in looking back anymore

You'll be sorry
I had a Nokia E61 before the tytn. In fact I had three (replaced under warranty). Whilst Tytn has it's problems, the architecure is open and great forums like this one assist you in overcoming the problems. By contrast the Nokia software has it's bugs too (lot's). The problem is that the architecture is closed and you are totally at the mercy of Nokia who provide terrible service. In the 4 months I owned the E61 I only had it in my poossession for 1.5 months. The rest of the time it was at Nokia.
In the end I took it up with the carrier and had them give me a tytn as a replacement. To rub salt into the wound after the carrier had supplied the TYTN, Nokia called to say do you have a problem? gee we are sorry, perhaps we should have upgraded the level of your problem yada yada yada
Two of the happiest days I had last year was the day I received my new Nokia and the day I got rid of it.

if anyone wants to donate their tytn or sell it really really cheap let me know

I am open to offers...i've got the t-mobile variant...pm me

for what it's worth, I had to get 3 replacements for my orange uk m3100 in the 1st month but since I got this last one a couple of months ago, it works like a dream, i love it to bits. If at first you don't succeed . . . !

Hi there,
I have an HTC644 now (Vario II) which i got after replacing an HTC645 (touchscreen stopped responding after a while) and to be honest with you...
thats the best device I ever had, it works just fine for me. That includes every single option in the phone ( yay i'm not using outlook )
Of course it is not perfect (it could include some more "phone'ish" features), yet that's what this forum is about!
Too many people come around wining about their problems, and some people take their issues as a device review ...
If everyone in the world had a device like that - there would be no wars ! HOOAH!

I'm not gonna waste my time and wait for two weeks til i can get a 4th one. imagine having to deal with this mess everytime you use it...

its meant to be my inbox, but the screens sorta split in half, and the lowhalf isnt getting rid of messages/warnings/menus that have previously been up
theres no denying the tytn is a smashing phone, coz it is. Just that i cant take it anymore. each handset takes at least 10days to get repaired or replaced. I've been without it for a month in total. i'm not paying good money for a phone i hardly see and keeps letting me down when i do see it.
I've not had a series 60 before. but the nokias ive have had before have been reliable. I'm prepared to give it ago, cant be worse than the problems im having, where the screens no use, therefore making the phone irritating to use. at least with the nokia the screen isnt touch sensitive, so less likely to go crazy on me.
three strikes and youre out.

this is a good vid, shows all the leads etc that we will get and the unit itself which looks good.
hopefully in the next day or 2 they will upload the guy running through the software so we can see what software they included and how much they have improved it from the announcement model (if they have sorted the lag and changed or improved anything).

yeah, I'd like to see how it runs and how well it goes through the panels.
I'm considering purchasing one, just not right away...
(waiting for a price drop similar to the Xperia X1's)

double posted, my bad.

P.S. Sorry, I wasn't able to stop myself .

oh damn how did i miss this! nice! lol

Sigh... after watching the video, somehow just adds to the feeling that it really ain't much of a big improvement over the X1. But well, will still get it. And hopefully, it'll be out before the 1 year warranty of my X1 expires so that I can send it for servicing. Gotta get my keyboard issue resolved, now that I realized it ain't to do with me using a custom ROM.

If you want it to feel like a "big thing" just simply think of it as a standalone phone from the Xperia series, not as a successor to the X1.
After you establish that fact, it's just a new phone in the lineup.

I hope they won't put those pathetic earphones in the final set.
I would like to LAUGH one more time about their decision to use micro usb when all the companies in the undustry have agreed to use mini usb.

Midway through the video, just after he puts in the battery (which looks to be a standard X1 BST-41 ) - he hits a switch on the side. I was originally going to ask if that might be a Hold switch like the ASUS phones have - but I realize now its actually just a battery case lock - oh well.
Can't say I like the reduction of the buttons, makes for less customization, the micro-usb means I need to get mini-micro adapters (90% of all usb non-USB-A devices I've owned since 2002 have had Mini-USB plugs). Flat screen is nice though, being a little bigger can't hurt. Nice camera, but lower frame-rate on VGA recording like the X1a now for all editions? Mostly same specs though and no idea what software it will break... makes me with hold judgment on whether I'd ever buy it though. That and the fact I have a brand new X1 to play with in my hand right now .
Peter
P.S. Just saw your reply above me orelsi, I wish Mini-USB were the standard but I keep reading that it's now micro-usb - I'd be happy if you can prove me wrong on this Ref: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2341261,00.asp

Do we REALLY appreciate it. ?

I just thought to myself.
How many people, actually appreciate how awesome this piece of hardware is, that they hold in their hand...... And yet the amount of moaning and whingeing that goes on on the web is ridiculous.
"Who wants an ir blaster in a phone.."
"This screen is a micron less thick..blah blah blah "
We should just sit back, relax and enjoy what we have now......
.....I'm guessing the marketing department wouldnt like that though...........
Don't believe the hype...

Wut is this?
OP, please express yourself coherently.

Ok !

Initially I was trying to ignore the battery life and how long it takes to charge haha..
But you can't deny, it's about the average. But when you consider the screen and how the phone works, you can't expect an extra day's worth out of nowhere..
If this and the S4 are considered the best options for smartphones right now and the S4 really does gets a few more standby hours, I would still go with the HTC One.

I was thinking about this after playing with a friends S4... yeah its a slick device but nothing on the market feels as good as the One.

I really do appreciate the fact that you're sitting here
Your voice sounds so wonderful, but your face don't look too clear.....

Cool story bro, tell it again
Posted in this strange thread because I need 10 posts to get into developer section...

out of the many many complaints about our phone you picked to use as examples, you choose two that i've never even heard of. screen thickness & people not wanting the IR blaster?

Whilst typically I can't help but say every argument has 2 sides, and it's foolish to say the HTC One doesn't have any floors, the fact that this device and similar ones exist certainly deserves a moment of appreciation.
I remember when I was 11, and I spent a full week optimizing what at the time was a relatively well maintained machine and removing loads of crap, overclocking my CPU + graphics, disabling literally everything and eventually I had enough space to install the just-released GTA3 on my computer. The installation itself felt like it took around an hour. Even on the lowest graphics settings I managed just to get 15fps and boy did it make my computer run hot!
Now I have a HTC One. Just one of it's cores is capable of 5 times more processing power than my crappy little AMD Duron had. Today I installed GTA3 on it in a matter of minutes and was playing it maximum settings at a frame rate that made it smooth as butter. And to top it all off, I can control every remote controlled device in my house with it AND it fits in my pocket.
On a forum where people are inherently pointing out every little area for improvement to get the best from their devices, I agree with OP that we should all take a minute to sit back and reflect on the awesomeness of the technology we're all in possession of right now.
We're living in the future.
Hoverboards and holodecks can't be that far away now.

Moderator Update.
Thread has been closed. As the thread is really a general off topic thread and not specifically to do with the HTC One it has been closed. There is a XDA off topic section were threads like this are better suited.

Just to give you an idea of how their customer service works

Yeah so I dont know if their customer service are really as stupid as they act or if they nust want to get on my nerves. I contacted paypal now. Screenshots in the description.

I'm impressed. I wouldn't dignify your capslock message with a response to be frank.

No,its not just the normal ghost touches. sometimes my touchscreen shuts down completely. Trust me,i read the forum.

If you waited 3 weeks for this anwsers,even tho the question they asked was clarified weeks ago,you would also be mad and write in capslock.

Wow LOL. Its almost as if its some sort of robot they have that responds to emails.. Pathetic. Just go straight to PayPal bro.

Honestly I don't think full on caps with exclamation marks will speed up your RMA any faster...
in fact, it ALMOST seems like customer service was dicking you around for the fun of it..:laugh:

I'm experiencing the same issue, already sent email and submitted RMA . Got one response only to advise I factory reset which I have done. If this goes sour, how long is eBay's or PayPal's fraud protection as I might have to go that route as well...

Don't wait, contest the charges because of a defective product right now with Paypal, problem solved , ok almost solved you are still stuck with a broken phone but at least you will get your money back.
If i remember correctly it's 45 days for Paypal.

Yeah that pretty much sucks. I guess that is what happens when the company and customer service are from China. I sure hope my phone has no issues really makes me think twice about the phone. Probably would not buy another unless they get this all sorted out.

My phone had the same issues. Ghost touches really bad and sometimes the touch screen would just stop responding altogether. The only way to fix it was to hold the power button and reboot the phone.
Today CM merged the firmware update from synaptic and Franco merged it into his newest kernel. I flashed it about 4 hours ago and no longer have any of the issues. I was even out in the sun earlier and that's when I had a lot worse problems when the phone was warm. I honestly think your problem is just the touchscreen firmware just like mine. I'd give Franco's kernel a try and see if it fixes your problem.

So just tell them you contact paypal. Im getting my replacement now.

Support Tickets
I don't know how you even got them to respond. I've put in three different Support ticket (starting on 8/31) and followed them up with at least 5 different emails, messaged almost all the mod's on the forums and have yet to receive ANY kind of response!!!!

Wow. I was thinking they were going to have really bad customer support, but now I'm amazed at how patient they were with you.
How is it that so many people are able to replicate the ghost swipes easily and put it up on youtube but you can't be bothered to?
Not to mention the fact that you haven't been bothered enough to check that there is a fix coming and waiting till then to check before saying it's a hardware bug.

Another suddly broken back glass

It was fine before putting it on the charger. I know because i was looking at the back and front before. When i took it from the charger suddenly i see a vertical crack from the top to the right center. No force No drop No back pocket nothing like that! Bring it back for repair and see how Sony treats his new Sony Smartphone User. Hope i do no regret abandoning Samsung....:crying::crying::crying:
(S3 not for sale at the moment)

What if all these guys who say that their glass cracked by itself but they have actually dropped it?

Here is another photo without any dust particles.

What is the week, your phone was made ?

Week 37

Well, mine too.
Luckilly no cracks so far, but I'm curious if any appear.
On one side, I want to return it, and get a refund, OTOH the phone is everyhing I ever wanted, until a better one comes out.

Exactly my dilemma. I've seen enough reports of cracks to be convinced Sony cheaped out or did something wrong with this phone. But mine hasn't cracked yet and I actually like it a lot (other than terrible low light camera). I'm hesitant to reward companies when they skimp on something and then fail to acknowledge the problems they've created though which is why I'm considering a return even though I like it.
If reports start coming in of Sony fixing the cracks for free under warranty, then I'll be satisfied and keep it, I think.

Mine is week 37 too, have it since 2 weeks went on holiday with it - no issues so far.

As already mentioned, there are already some existing threads regarding this issue, so please use them instead of opening up a new thread.
