I've been Googling around and some people describe the Hero that Orange are selling as black but it looks brown against some of the 'blacker' Heros on an image search.
In the UK the Orange branded Hero is graphite not black.
HTC offer AFAIK :
White - Unlocked, unbranded
Brown
Graphite - Orange UK only
Black
Pink
TBH, I've seen the black and brown ones in Carphone Warehouse, they don't look very good IMHO.
IS there a difference is specs betweens the T-mobile Hero and the Orange Hero, do one have better rom or something or a different chipset ?
Cheers James
Internal specs are the same.
The firmware is different with T-Mobile doing more customisation I believe. The core software though is the same.
Depends if you like the HTC look throughout or the T-Mobile one.
T-Mobile puts a big logo on the top of the touch screen which I hate. At least orange has the decency to put a small, inobtrusive logo on the rear case.

LOL, i was thinking that i thought atleast if the logo annoys me i can just change the back cover
The specs of both are the same. I don't know why people think the T-Mobile hero has had loads of customization done to it.
It's exactly the same as the standard HTC one and the Orange one. Only difference being that T-Mobile has a T-Mobile boot screen and some web n walk app that I've never used.
Is there a reason why my GS2 has no samsung or carrier branding?
Completely black at the top, and logo at back.
I like it, but have always been curious as to why.
Here are some pics. MAybe it is carrier branded I never noticed the "q" thing before which carrier is that?, but there is no samsung.....
Seeing as I have been flashing roms for the past two weeks and no issues, so It seems genuine...
Quadrant=3229(Normal)
Are serial numbers on battery and label behind it supposed to be the same?
and BTW I have a matte screen protector, thats why its not glossy.
and lcd density set at 200, which is why the font looks slightly smaller
Battery and label looks official
Thanks!
Oops, shouldn't it have a Samsung logo just above the screen and under the Earpiece? The battery cover at the back could be easily replaced with an original one, and that icon at back is the NFC icon right? So is it a Korean GS II or what?

My GS2 has Samsung on the top of the front and at the bottom of the back but came unlocked to all networks,personally i wouldn't buy a phone with say Vodafone or any mobile network branding on it again.
I though every SII has "Samsung" on the top front, no matter if branded or not

Nah, the NFC icon is this.
had ISDB-T antenna in corner so could it be a SC-02C? If so why does settings say its GT-I9100 and have no SC-02C branding at back?
Does anyone know what the icon in back is?
Even though quadrant is good, I'm really starting to worry...
I appreciate everyone's help.
Ah, the box tells alot
Its apparently a SHW M250-K, so not a GT-I9100, but still a GSII model!
The Q things is an O for Olleh its KT carrier in korea. Yes my phone is korean, but I took a chance and had bought it in China.
Though none of this explains the lack of Samsung branding in front. Or does it?
(or why my settings tells me its a GT-I9100 or is that the ROM's doing?)

Does the SMS work? Because the SMS technology is locked to specific Korean carreir so you will not be able to use it. If I recall correctly.
If you did a google image search with the model, it would appear that there is no Samsung branding in the front.
No, sms works on china unicom for me (im living there for now).
But I've just discovered some inconsistencies.....
The box says its an SHW-M250K but sticker behind battery says M250S....
What is the difference between the two?
The battery has NFC label, but I have no Idea how to test if thats real.
What do you guys think? (about whether my phone is valid GSII)
Hmm the box has SHW-M250K and Olleh printed on it, but it has stickers and barcode sticker, that indicate SK telecom. Also, I've just discovered that M250S is SK and M250K dentoes KT. Seems a bit odd.
Again, Thoughts?
When I google'd "Galaxy S II" it came up both with samsung logo and without?
Not quite sure
Edit: SHW-M250K is the korean model which doesn't have a Samsung logo on the front
So yeah, it's not fake
The original Samsung Galaxy S II had a different front and a back cover. There was no branding on the front. The prototypes that our team saw had no branding. I can post a picture if you want.
Random but applicable---I also cannot get FM radio app to pick up fm radio in China. Does that have to do with my region settings (USA or Europe are only choices), or is this another inconsistency?
Where did you buy this device from?
Dinghao Electronics Market, Beijing. Which is black market.
I know not the best idea, but It was my only chance to get one...
Anyways, I just discovered that Korean GSII has DMB chip instead of FM radio chip, bummer, but not a big deal.
Hi
So I'm interested in buying the jetstream, but I have some questions, especially for people living outside the US.
I understand I will have to buy a code to undo the sim lock, and I will have to find a friend with a US social security number, and someone who can post the Jetstream onto me from the states.
My questions are:
I know that the UK does not have LTE yet, but will the jetstream work through 3g networks in the UK?
Will the warranty apply outside the US? How long is the warranty for?
Also, I know this has probably been asked before, but has anyone heard about a UK release?
Some more general questions:
Did anyone buy the gel case from AT&T? is it any good?
Do you have to add the pen to basket to get the reduction or does it come bundled?
Has anybody had any joy with writing recognition overlay apps?
Thanks a lot
Hi,
no problems using the HTC Jetstream outside of the US, i use it in the middle east over 3G networks.
get one to yourself, unlock it from AT&T to use any SIM and enjoy.
Mine came without the pen, i will get one for myself.
So far, its an amazing tablet, superb screen respond and amazing resultion of true colors.
got mine over ebay.

Hi Everyone,
I'm dying to get one and I've searched ebay inside out with no positive results so far. Could someone please provide me with some links on where this tablet can be purchased?
Thanks in advance

Do you have any idea what the status of the AT&T warranty is if the item is damaged outside the states?
cheers
works like a charm
Can confirm it works perfectly well once unlocked.....posting from Saudi on my jetstream right now and just last week all 3 networks here upgraded to provide 4G LTE I also bought the HTC gel case from AT&T it fits like a glove as it should as it is made by HTC and feels great, however it is very RED, but with nothing else out there right now so bit the bullet and purchased.
When I ordered online pen was automatically in basket.
In a recent interview with an HTC bigwig he stated the jetstream would not be introduced in Europe due to AT&T exclusive Plus lack of LTE services in Europe but HTC were working on other tablets for the region.

Hi, I tried to order it myself, but in AT&T webstore after step 1 they impose you a monthly plan before checkout.
Since I'm outside US I'd like it to come without SIM card, how did you do?
If I remove dataplan it doesn't allow me to proceed.
Thanks for sharing
Hi, does anyone here know where can i get a digitizer without the at&t logo I saw a white galaxy note with a black screen digitizer and I have to say It looks awesome! like a huge galaxy nexus... but, however i looked all over the internet and i cannot find any that doesn't include the lcd, the ones with no lcd are for the n7000.
It's probably easier to get a black Note and swap the battery cover, than to get a white Note and swap the digitizer...
Same effect
Yes, but I need a european version because I don't want the AT&T logo on it.

The Euro version will not be i717, and will have the button on the bottom.
Maybe a Rodgers or Bell, Canadian version, will be what you want(?)

I would suggest you ask or look in the GT-N7000 sub-forum (I assume that's the model you have). I doubt the AT&T logo digitizer would work as a replacement for your Euro version. Also make sure your phone doesn't or has the glass/digitizer glued together before you order and waste your money.

I suspect the Canadian versions are similar to the AT&T version, as they all have the same model designation + a letter to differentiate between carriers.
Rogers Note here, no AT&T logo anywhere, just says Samsung at the top.

Thanks for the clarification, guess reading through tapatalk I wasn't reading it right
How about a screen protector with colored border?
This continues to be 1 of the main issues with the US carriers: their lame branding...
And the fact they decide to give different names to the same exact phone models (except with some changes here-and-there).
Too bad here in the US, we only get the iPhone and Motorola phones early (which is pathetic). We can thank the 2 reasons listed above for this fiasco.
Aren't the expensive? Like around $250 I believe

Personally its not worth the trouble..or the money. Just sayin...

the screens are interchangeble. You can get screen without logo for international version but also you will need a set of new buttons. Since the screen is glued to housing it is also easier to install with new housing. Then just flash the rom with international version because of the button. Digitizer is glued to lcd touch so expect to waste roughly $300-350 in order to get rid of att logo. As stated earlier its not worth it.

You can't flash an international rom, it will brick the phone. The hardware is different.
Been searching for a case to order so I will have it ready to go when my Note II finally ships. However, I'm seeing some information on ebay indication that some of the cases only fit the GT-N7100 model and will not fit other sub-models? I was under the impression that there was no difference is shape/size among any of the carrier variants? Can someone confirm?
Here's just one such case that I found that alludes to fitment differences among the variants.
Black Flip Case for Note II
I have heard talks about the edges may being different, but I really doubt it. This hasn't been confirmed and from the leaked pictures the phones look exactly the same. I'm pretty sure the only reason the USA has different models is due to carrier frequencies and technologies (GSM & CDMA).

I hope you're right and am keeping my fingers crossed. However, it does give me pause in pre-purchasing some accessories for the phone.
I was hoping there was a way to use the front cover with replacement battery door and a case but it looks impossible unless someone made one specifically for it. You would think Samsung would have had the genius to design one.
