I was just reading how it bricked. If it was mobo damaged they'll probably give you a new one. If they're able to boot it into flashtool at all then probably just reflash, but judging by your posts that won't be possible.

I sold my HTC One X, and have found the Xperia S and I'm ready to buy one from a USA Importer like Xpansys.
I read about the screen issues so what SW does the thing need to have to be in the new batch without the screen issues.
Also anyone using this phone on ATT, i take it it gets full HSDPA + data.
Thanks
All new comes ready to roll eithout yellow tint. Only first wave had that problem.

Not really, stock in a shop could be a month or two old. And you cant tell manufacturing week/build line from the box. Ask the staff to show you the backplate and look for 12w12+ and Not AA [eg AB are reportedly clean].
Also, read the screen thread.

Oh yeah, forgot, think it only gets EDGE bands on ATT, do a search.

The Global Mobiles is not listed on Amazon, I guess they are out of stock on the phone.

Hi guys,
Today I received a call from HTC saying I have to pay for the service.
They said my WiFi doesn't work coz I unlocked and rooted my phone. ( WTF, the guy's a total idiot.. just won't listen )
I escalated the issue to the senior most technician with little success.
It has a faulty MB and now I have to pay $100 now to replace it.
I feel like being cheated. I have to pay for their faulty hardware.
I've decided, this is definitely going to be my last HTC.

navmad

And after unroot, some crappy bloatware must be missing making them think that it was removed via superuser.

I noticed it when I was on the new JB ROM. The phone suddenly restarted and WiFi was not turning on.
I checked the logcat. It pointed to faulty hardware. The wireless interface was switching on and off.
I switched ROMs just to confirm. I knew it was hardware issue.

I must have missed something. I asked the senior technician how unlocking results in faulty hardware and he really didn't have anything to

Does Samsung/Sony give h/w warranty after unlock.??? I just wanted to check before I buy my next phone.
Anybody???

Why would they ?
My friends with galaxy s duos and s3 say that they also void warranty after unlock and using Odin.

It depends on whether the bootloader is locked or not , and this of course depends on the phone model .
Many Samsung devices bought on contract from Orange in my country do not have a locked bootloader (Mini 2 doesn't , S3 Mini doesn't , S3 - depends on the carrier) . The thing is you have more chances of faking a Samsung to look like its root hasn't been touched than you would have with any other brand .
Samsung has something called a bin counter - this increments each time a flash has been done on a phone (excluding recovery flashes) . This can be , however , reset to 0 , but it really depends on the phone model . Combine that with removing root access , eventually reflashing the stock firmware and you've got yourself an out-of-the-box-like phone .
Best thing to do is to carefully take a look at the development status of a device before buying it . See what you can do to it and what you cannot P
You should of just played dumb, if my contract provider asked me that I'd pretend to be a simpleton from the village and make up some BS like "My Dog eat my phone and when i got it back it had this strange app installed called superuser." Then hey presto! free repair but your dog would probably get sued by HTC so be warned!!

Exactly these kind of dumb/duffer people need "smart"phones
My verizon dna is for sale.
This phone works but it gets very warm when doing any thing demanding and the battery life drops fast.
Its more of a parts phone at this point.
Would rather sell it face to face here in Seattle.
Other then that its in 99% new condition.

Thanks for your response. So will go for Ultra Z as this was the only think which was bothering me as I was confused between ZU and Note 3 but bigger screen of ZU wanted me to go for it as I wont feel need for a tablet with it.
You can even buy one on eBay if you want to fit it yourself:

Nice to know, but once opened we'll lose the water resistancy, so i think the smartest thing is to let a service center do it so the warranty won't get voided, unless you don't have this option.

You can buy anew back cover too so you can still have water resistancy.
Most of you know me, or have seen me around.... so are probably aware of my, 8 week cold turkey stint without my Ultra.
Reason being: There was a small repair needed.
... However today I took my family on a small tramp, in the sun, to a water hole for a swim..
I was taking some picture with my Ultra, and the screen started flickering... so i powered it off and then back on... 'black screen'
Everything was still working, but black screen. (obviously can't see anything) Went to do a hard power off, by holding the red button, and hmmm whats that. the white humidity paper is red. **crap!** the lens on both the front and back have fog all over them. No I've never even taken my device underwater, it may have received a few splash's today, but caps are always closed... and they were today.
conclusion:
The last repair was completed, and the device was not sealed properly...
So... awaiting a response to my rather lengthy email... (very polite) and will see what the company say whom i bought it from.
They are based in Hong Kong, and it cost me $120 NZD to send it there and back... (I had to pay both freight costs)
SO.... there you go. fricken awesome! My device is dead again!
Oh god no.. I don't know what to say. The typical thing now is that you'll ship it away (again) and we'll receive 4.4 the day after. Just watch it happen.
hey lord I send you a private message. nothing important but. i'm going off topic but can you tell me or any body knows how to make the screen home page larger or to expend once the DPI has downsize to 280 DPI
In the imortial words of Toyta: Bugger
Oh man that sucks. Maybe you could buy a new one and when this one finished, you just have to sell it?

Oh my ... Sorry for your loss :/
They can't replace it instead of repairing ? i mean that's a lot of money especialy if you have to send it back again !
Yeah, Thats what I'm saying man. The freight charges could have paid for another phone. I'm sure there's some reputable online retailers that does RMA for free?

I've used it in the rain, before I had the initial repair. worked fine, the humidity paper was still white. BUt the last repair company was complete rubbish. Was not my call as it was shipped to Hong Kong (where i purchased it) and they had it repaired.
So if your device is new, and not been opened then you're safe.

I was looking at the Z1.... but just couldn't do it. size of screen is obviously more important to me than a better camera... plus i have the QX10 so there's that.
