Ok,
As I'm starting a new job, im worried. I have the white, factory unlocked, Hero which was bought from Expansys. Its perfect, I love it.
BUT
I'm starting a new job which means my hands will be dirty all the time and I'm worried about scratching/damaging the white cover/teflon coating. I think the Black one would stand up to my new job better than the white.
Anyone fancy swapping my white one for their black one?
Black ones are locked to T-Mobile, I think.
Mine is grey
on orange anyhow

Hey mate, my ones the graphite one, I'm in london, i prefare the white one so if you want to swap I dont mind, If your not too far from london i can drive down and do a straight swap, let me know.
Cheers for the replies. I don't mind if its locked to T-Mobile, it shouldn't be too hard to get it unlocked... Unless anyone knows of a reason why it couldn't be unlocked?
Its Black I'm after, just think it will be great to hide the dirt
The white one is perfect, wonderful surface, no fingertips, one swich over the display and they are gone

Hi,
been using my HTC Touch pro from verizon for a little over a week now and love it ( Excluding the lack of Battery Life, RAM and FM Tuner, I am more than satisfied) except that the dialer skin is very ugly. TO add it fits nowhere to the rest of the device.
Can anybody suggest a good dialer skin in BLACK for me to use? I used the 12amos Manila upgrade on my TouchFLO and would like a matching Dialer
P.S. Whats the name of that software that prevents the phone turning on and dialing while in your pocket? This happened to me on three separate occasions

You might want to check out Jugallo's S2A which will force you to slide an icon left or right to accept a call or reject it. As far as your device problems go, you weren't the smartest person around when you bought the Verizon Pro as you could have bought the Sprint version and put it on Verizon's network with more RAM, better keyboard layout, and better look. That's what I did and everything works twice as well as a Verizon Pro. You can also improve battery life by using nueClockControl

I am satisfied with the verizon. It fully supports verizon without any possibility of issues, I LIKE the look compared to springs more iphoneish curve, and I get their accidental breakage warranty.
Also, you didnt mention about a dialer skin which is my priority
why don't you flash a custom rom with the dialer you want. I thought dialer's have to be installed with the rom. Oh and Sprint phone's wont work with verizon as of right now so I'd keep yours plus verizons warranty rocks!!!!

I know it does, but it only will work out if the rom doesnt screw me up
All I've seen were ROMS that are GSM. If I can see a base ROM to start with, I can bake my own customization.
P.S. Will a custom rom give me the GPS VZ Navigator blocks?
Jugallo's has a black skin just like you asked .
Also, how's that up arrow smashed between the M and N keys on your Pro?
I found a balck carbon fiber dialer that looked pretty nice. I don't have my phone with me so I can't get the exact name of the .cab. I also think it replaced the manilla files to a carbon fiber theme as well.
Try searching for HTC Dialer skins and maybe something will pop up.

I'm not sure if you can warranty your phone if you do (you won't be able to get much verizon tech help), but as of now it works 99.99% on the network

wow, your kind of a **** aren't you? you do realise that about a month ago Verizon realized what was happening and closed the backdoor so you cant activate the Sprint ones on Verizon service right? Oh thats right, you arent the smartest person either....
Personally I agree with the OP, I don't really care for the looks of the sprint curvy chrome and gray phone. No issues with the keyboard here, (the arrow key and the m key cause me no issues) and I like the black squared look.

I'll one up you on that. And the less memory is not proving to be such a big issue if you know what you are doing. I know that I saved about $200 by getting the verizon touch pro. Sprint wanted to charge me $579 plus $100 MIR, whereas I paid $339 at verizon and got the $100 MIR.
Oh, and the you can active the Sprint Touch Pro on Verizon, just when they ask you where you got the phone, say it was a gift from a friend, and don't tell them it is the sprint version.

Actually yes you can activate. You put their PRI and PRL on the Sprint version, add a few settings in with QPST, call *228, press 1 and you can activate just fine. BTW: I got mine on eBay new for $300 (less than the Verizon one ) and did this. Verizon physically can't close this backdoor as it's a key function of CDMA networks and this is what they use to activate phones bought online (though I do believe that's wrong but whatever). I saved $50 more than you and got a more capable phone. Yes I do despise the look of it and want that Verizon logo but don't call me a **** because I point out facts . Another plus of the Sprint version (not true anymore however) was there was HardSPL. Not true anymore though I will say this: it is your opinion whether or not you like a phone. And I don't know about you, but I know one too many people who buy a crappy phone just because they know it has the Verizon logo on it or aren't knowledgeable that you can just put a better Sprint phone on the Verizon network and use it that way. But that aside: you like the VZW Pro and I like the Sprint one. End of story.
if you're gonna get a sprint touch pro, why not just get sprint service??
And you made a comment about "hows the arrow key jammed between the m and n" it actually works great right there
OP: I installed Carbon Theme with Custom Skin Dialer Cab from here: http://www.thetouchblog.com/TF3D/main.html and now I have a carbon fiber looking dialing pad. When you install that theme, it automatically changes your TF3D look to a carbon fiber one, but you can go back in and change it with the Diamond TF3D Config
Hey guys I've had my Galaxy S II for 2 months and just returned it to Amazon because it had some.scratches and because of a dead pixel (also because of.no warrenty in US-which isn't that big of a deal for me). Anyways, wondering if I should get the white unlocked one or an AT&T version for 200 dollars on contract. I'm leaning towards the unlocked white because :
1. It looks badass
2. It will have resell value if I get the Nexus Prime and want to return it
Normally I don't ask others for opinions but I'm just curious to hear some of your guys thoughts on this. Thanks in advance
I can't help you because that's the same exact thing I'm debating.
Not gonna lie, the white one does look awesome. Look here for the differences between the two models: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308155
But personally, if I had that much cash to spend on a phone, I'd get the Samsung Galaxy Note.
Just a reminder that FM Radio is absent in ATT version and if you care for FM, then opt out from ATT version!

...No, we have the chip but it's not activated. Do your research first.
I have both, and I gave the white one to my GF (she loves it). I love the white but the chrome ring looks cheesy compared to the black version, which has a dark gunmetal colored ring. Also, i prefer the 4 soft keys over the physical key of the international version.

Okay I keep hearing different things in regards to the FM Radio. Some people say it's completely absent in the AT&T version and others are saying that it's there just deactivated through firmware. Can you confirm that the chip is actually there?
I was going to get white from bell Canada but decided to wait and spend the 650 on a 2012 model then sell the att gs2.

I'm in the same spot as you except I can still return my GS2 for a refund. Thing is even if I get a refund, my AT&T plan has already been changed to Smartphone (from iPhone) so would they now roll me back and remove unlimited? I could just eBay the phone but I've had bad experiences on there with thieves trying to do chargebacks two months after receiving the product.

If you see entropy's kernel, he has initially tried to add the kernel module for FM and it was spitting out errors and the errors were pointing to kinda 'no device found'. He ultimately removed this from the kernel.
There are other thread in this forum which details the stressed effort from our members contacting both samsung and ATT about this and samsung finally mentioned that ATT version has only internet radio. ATT has even taken this from their site. Details are here in this thread.

I found the real problem with signal issues of the HTC Titan.
I have 2 HTC Titan
I bought a second HTC Titan from AT&T for a penny & I thought of trying the back cover on my first Titan.
The results are astonishing. The back cover was all that was wrong on my device. With the second Titan I purchased from AT&T on the Web, there is no problem with the sigral.
I have now ordered a new cover from Ebay & will try to get a replacement from HTC for my original cover that was defective.
I really think there was a bad batch of those back covers for this Titan & we where the unlucky ones to get them.
If you know someone that has no issues with his Titan, try his back cover on your phone.
Hope this help someone.
Good luck.
Hi, could this solve the WiFi issues?

How can you tell the difference between covers?
Photo please..
There is no difference at all between the covers that I have. The only thing I can figure out is that the contacts tabs on the inside of the covers that does not work, do not make a contact with the antenna that is embedded in the bothom plastic of the cover.
I do not know if the WiFi problem is related to this, (as I think the WiFi antenna is located in an other place on the cover) but for me the slow download speed I was getting before I change the cover, & the low signal or no signal was directly ralated to the lack of good antenna.
In order to come up with this solution, I went great lengths in order to find the right tab that was the antenna. I even install a temporary antenna (See immage) on the outside of the thone & I was getting better signal.
But after receiving my second Titan from AT&T online order I tried the cover from that secont Titan & Voila !! Very good service & signal.
Hope this help.

If someone want to buy a replacement on eBay, I think he should be carefull on choosing the right cover, because on eBay, they sell a BLACK cover & a SILVER like on AT&T, & I think it is because in the USA, AT&T has a different frequency than in Europe.
I was hoping to get HTC to provide me with a new cover, but having install an exterior antenna on it, kind of ruined the warranty. That is why I order one on Ebay from China.
I sure would like HTC to acknoledge the problem & provide us with a replacement back cover. But we could be wayting a long time.

To answer your direct question, & not to confuse anyone, the new cover that I have installed on my Titan comes from an other AT&T Titan phone.
But for those people in Europe, I know that they have a different Back cover because of the Carrier operation frequency.
Hope this help.
I have 2 back covers at the moment, i got one from china that im using at the moment and im removing the paint and polishing the original, and after reading this ive just tested both of them and found the one from china does give worse reception than the original. But ive found that if your very very gentle and careful you can tweak the contacts on the phone so they make better contact with the case, and now both backs work fine. This might not be a permanent fix as taking the case on and off may push them back but it may be useful if anyones stuck while waiting for a new back .

Hello there,
I just called HTC & they are shipping me a replacement back cover for my HTC Titan.
They do replace one accessory during the warranty period.
So if you still have a problem with your reception, maybe try a different cover that HTC can ship to you.
Hope this help.

HTC Customer service told me that we have 15 days after receiving the new cover to call them back if things have not improve or else.
My hope is high because I have something to compare with.
I took a long time to explain them all what I did to find what was the problem, & told them that there was lots of other Titan Fans that where fustrated with this issue.
Hope the message get across higher echelons in HTC Company.
Spread the word if this fixed your problem.

It is a great phone, i would say go buy it, i'm sure you'll like it. I am very impressed of mine.
I bought mine on AMAZON. It's the black cover (and not from China!).
The frequency doesn't have anything to do with it as it's in the phone's configuration, not the back cover...
Anyway, I'm using it since yesterday and all I can say is.... WOOWW!! What a huge difference. I'm starting to love my phone again !!!

At least it solved mine.....
Humor me...
Take your old backplate... at the bottom (shown on this pic)
http://wmpoweruser.com/htc-titan-having-antenna-issues/
scrape it with a file.
I did this... (even accidentally scraped one completely off) and i went from 2-3 bars to 4 and 5, never dropping below 4 on ATT 3g plus (says 4g on US version of titan)
Will test tomorrow to full confirm but i think i just saved myself from buying a new back.
If this improved i may to in on all of the connections to backplate.
Having looked at the new black edition of the S4, I got to wondering, does anyone know, at this point, whether the backplate from that phone would work as a replacement for the glossy back we all have?

I hope they sell them, I like the look. I am sure nothing changed, so sooner or later we will be able to buy.
I see one on Amazon. Doesn't really say who the seller is. But one post by a reviewer about using in U.S. said this:
I bought an International unlocked version. You can use in the USA with either T-Mobile and AT&T.
The only catch is the Huawei IMEI is not a known phone, at least by AT&T, so it only would come up as a vanilla GSM phone, maxing out at 3.5G speeds.
To get it activated at a full 4G LTE phone, you'd want to move a SIM card over from a registered AT&T 4G LTE (modern) phone, then port your number over.
But then it works perfectly well, as good as any official AT&T phone.
Click to expand...

So, I"m not sure about the move SIM card over and port number. Seems to me if I pull the SIM from my Note 9, I'd then not need to port a number. Thoughts?
Also, I'm concerned about getting one with the green edge problem. There's no warranty in the U.S. (Seems Huawei should warranty anyway...albeit with the problem of sending it over there).
I use T-Mobile, so can't help directly. I'm pretty sure I just used the same sim card (it was back in November). The prices on Amazon are a lot better now than they were then! Great phone, lack of warranty notwithstanding.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
I guess my main stumbling block right now is concern that I'd get one with the green screen problem.
I supposed I could fall back to the Mate 20. I understand it doesn't have that problem.

the green screen problem is a bit overexxagerated imo....... it's not like u'll be looking at an empty black screen on minimal brightness all the time. i'm using the BOE screen which doesn't have this issue and i have a colleague who got the problematic LG one and frankly i don't see what the fuss is about. his screen looks better tho in normal usage scenarios
Thanks for that seat and back. Makes me feel a little better should I get one like that.
I'm not surprised to hear that, as that what happens, people like me read about it and then think it's worse than it probably is.
I did just find this video on YouTube which does show the green screen edge and gives you a good feel for what it's like. Definitely doesn't look like something a person would desire to have.
