Rip HTC & Desire 820 - Desire 820 General

Hey pals,
I am here today to say you all good bye. I got my device dead while charging. I Went more then 200 phone reparing service shops but nobody could fix the issue. They told me that theres the problem of Power IC.
Here i am today to say Rip to my htc and entire HTC brand today. I have shifted to Redmi Note 3 from Today.
Good Bye Guys.

Same here. IC board problem drive me mad. Just sent it to reclamation. My new phone is SONY Xperia Z2, good to be in SONY again.

Oh Same issue for you too.. i really can't believe that i have problem in IC board. If i wipe my phone well it is not less then the just purchased condition 820.
Anyways, i didn't got a good experience with this phone. Nw with Redmi Note 3 Pro i really love it.
I will never buy HTC again.
Keep in touch Mate.

very sorry to hear it.
never use high amps (more than 1A) charger, it may take longer to charge but it's safe.
. . . just my two cents.

Hi guys,
The lucky ones who already got SGS3/SGS3 LTE, please share ur feedback, suggest the place where we can find better deals, etc.

Just a little heads up that the phone is slightly curved on the outer rim around the screen so screen protector might not stick nicely around the edge due to the gap cause by the curve.

I'll be staying in Singapore for 6 months, does anyone know if I can get a good deal on this phone through a contract for 6 months (or even paying for a 1 year contract that I wont use half of)?
Would the phone then work with T-mobile when I come back?

Yeah, today I have used SGS3 and it was pretty cool, It wasnt as good looking as Xperias but its NOT ugly by any means..brilliant screen, smooth scrolling, no lag whatsoever..
Going to buy in couple of weeks, waiting for some price drop
I will skip Xperia this year!!!

Hi SG peeps! Just here to join the party Phones bought here in Singapore should work with any carrier in the world (of course it wont work on 4G) cus all the phones here cannot be locked to carriers according to some rules i heard awhile back. im undecided between sIII or the Nexus (yeah i know huge spec difference) but the ease of unlocking and hacking is a huge win!
Rooting the SGS3
Hmm... has anyone roots their SGS III in Singapore? I am gonna do that in the weekends^^

Bye bye my fellow wildfirers (forever)

My brother bought the nexus 7 tablet and he was only using his Xperia neo for calls and hotspot.
So I suggested to switch phones since I don't have a tablet. Surprisingly, he agreed
But there's a test period to see if he can bare the lag
So right now I own a Xperia Neo, rooted it before inserting my sim card
I will still visit the wildfire section, but not so often as before...
Thanks to every one who helped me through my first experience with android journey.
Special thanks to slymobi, saadislam and elia222.
Finally, Eid Mubarak
Bye.

Epic device splurging time #cough#Nexus4#cough#
So I bought the xperia pro and gave the Neo back to my brother. Couldn't get something better as I was on a budget
Besides, I've always wanted that slide-out keyboard
My wildfire is now available for testing new roms, like CyanMobileX ROM, I am really amazed by the UI of this rom

[Q] SO any HTC One owners here?

Anyone considering changing for the Galaxy S4?
I'm a little tempted but dunno if its worth the trade. Like my One but not overly fused on Sense. Anyone in the same boat as me?
Had 4 faulty HTC Ones, s4 replacement coming in 10 days.

i wasn't a big fan of TouchWiz, but since i started working at Samsung, i've come to love the whole TW experience.. it has a LOT of cool features, which are copied in other custom roms, but that cannot compare to the original apps by Samsung..
i agree that HTC has nice hardware, but i have a S4 now and i wouldn't want any other device, it's simply amazing!
3 faulty ones so getting Samsung s4 next week

Seriously we should be able to make comparisons here without it getting immature.
I was looking at the htc one but seems like build quality issues and some people just dont like blink feed. As pretty as it is, I think I like the samsung form factor better as well as the options for removable battery/sdcard samsung gives you. And that dual shot feature, oh man I got ideas

Its a question aimed at people who own the One like me but are considering the S4, but seems like HTC haters feel the need to comment without using the One. So wrong people answering my question.

Shamesung.
It's messed up.
Very sad but nothing new. Almost all major corporations engage in shifty practices such as this. However, they do not all get caught.
To give a bit of a perspective as to why I am moving from the one to the s4
I am not a HTC hater yes my last couple of phones have been Samsung but I thought of give HTC a go on my next upgrade and boy do I regret it
I don't regret it because it's HTC because in fact before my sammy days I always bought HTC I hate it because HTC sent out a brand new flagship with major issues
My first one had gone button problems and the camera when video recording was awful it had a high pitched hiss on it
My second had proximity sensor problems , the lights on home and back didn't work and worse still the screen wasn't sealed so white could be seen
The third which broke the camels back and made me change to the s4 on launch had once again home / back button problems
The one is a beautiful device but it's full of qa issues
So to Sammy I go again I'm hoping the s4 is perfect and I wish id waited for the s4

HTC is probably a year from getting sold to another company. I loved my One X, but they hosed the deployment by succumbing to AT&T locking the boot loader and then released the One X+ too soon.
They are circling the drain. Their delays on the One will probably kill them this time, that and once again locking the boot loader on the One on AT&T.

Jump "back"? You did own Note 2 previously then? Why'd you ditch it at all in the first place?
Welcome back anywho
I tried the experia z as well..
Although I loved the crisp screen the battery life was just awful compared to the note. I think I will stick with my new note II for a while and wait until the next generations of hardware.

Actually it's not idiotic, people love to get new phones and I would like to swap it for a week. But I wouldn't have it for a long time since the screen is way to small. But I wouldn't be mad if I got one. As there is much awesome features in Xperia that I like but Samsung doesn't have. But the feature way I think Samsung is better. But I would definitely like to use Xperia Z due to it wouldn't be boring to get another phone to play around with
Also about customisation they got some themes standard. And I think it's sad that Samsung doesn't have that. I like to customize my phone and change the look. HTC is one of those who actually is one step forward but they got too few themes but it changes even the notifications and pull down bar. Sony just change the icons and menu background. But what can we change from Samsung? We need 3rd party apps to change what we want. It's a bit of a shame.
I can't call it idiotic to swap the note ii to Xperia Z it's all about what you want to do with your phone.
So your comment is idiotic no matter what people will one day be tired of their current device but they maybe not be able to change. I'll wait for note iii or ill change to galaxy mega as its a cool phone/tablet

I simply miss all those motion features on xperia z, the one i simply luvd and crave for is swipe the palm to capture screen then the led notification light which shld b pretty standard for a handset ,the one on xperia is pretty tiny and a lil buggy last.but nt the least i find note pretty user friendly.

Got to borrow a Z for four days a while back to try out LTE in another city. Atrocious screen (Seriously terrible), poor battery life, bad camera, & broken software. Shame, as I love Sony's industrial design, and their approach to Android skinning is rather nice. Keep wanting them to make something great, they get close at times but the basics are all wrong.
Note keeps on being fantastic.

I remember when I sold my note 1 for HTC One X, that was the worst mistake I have ever made. Since then I have tried the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Optimus G, Galaxy S 3 and now I'm back on the note 2. All the reviews are saying that the HTC One is the best phone out there right now, but don't let them trick you like they did me with the HTC One X.

^ expected next month though PH pro'lly get it may-jun. expansys-ph has it on their "coming soon" section already. i've seen the z1 compact on kimstore, cmk & expansys-ph. btw, that language is technically not allowed here, bro
i'm thinking of getting the z2 as well to replace the one on my sig, especially if globe offers this on postpaid. but for me, it's really a toss up between this and the oppo find 7 qhd version - similarly spec'd but bigger (and pro'lly better) screen and a bit more cheaper for the US$599 price tag at launch
Xperia Z1 Compact is now available on Xperia stores. Just saw it yesterday in Megamall.
