[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
the problem wit amazonwireless for me is that i need to have a US adress, there is a service for that but the charge an arm and a leg.

plus the taxes to import the phone makes it unwise to buy it online. i need to cheack with the customs again, maybe (if buddha will premit) there wont be import taxes on this phone (VAT will probley will be but its low amount).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SoulSooth:
I live in Europe and went to US in March and a tried to buy this phone in a AT&T Store and it was not possible. Even to buy the phone without contract they require a contract plan. I did buy the phone thru ebay later. I would suggest you the same if you have access to US address.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
That makes no sense why does a no contract purchase require a contract??
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SoulSooth:
They will only sell you the phone if you have a plan subscribed
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
is there anybody who tried to order thr glide from amazonwireless to a non-us adress?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
I bought mine on ebay (is quite cheaper than amazonwireless), altough shipping to Germany took a while the purchase was flawless.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Do you mind telling us how much you paid without shipping then how much was shipping. Just to give others an idea on what they can get via eBay?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
The phone itself has cost $389,99 and international USPS Express shipping was $44,99. This was quite cheap compared to the $600 (+ shipping) on Amazonwireless back then.

Btw. If any German is interested in the taxes I had to pay: It was about 63€ (~19%)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
now days the glide cost 400 dollors via amazonwireless and the shiping in the staes is free.

i think i got lucky cos i have a friend that is gona visit is family in the states sooner then expected and he agreed that i will ship this to his family house, and he will bring it to me when he come back. so i can get away from shiping and taxes via customes.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] helpslip:
yeah ebay its the only place to buy a phone anymore, altho some pawnshops will cut good deals. seems 300 for a new or refurbished phone on ebay is the going rate & most folks dont mind shipping outa country.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
helpslip is there a problem buying from amazonwireless if i ship it in the US?

i can arrange a frined living there to get my package, dont know if he have AT&T service and actualy don't care only want the phone with no contract.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] helpslip:
i wouldnt think so altho i have zero 1st hand experience w/ amazonwireless, if its ran the same way as amazon your purchasing from an independent seller sometimes just a dood w/ a garage no different than ebay & ebay now has 30 day buyer protection so they refund price & shipping (& return shipping if needed) if something doesnt arrive or doesnt work etc... ive even been refunded after more than a year for an item that didnt arrive from australia (to usa) altho i keep in contact w/ seller through ebay so they could verify a problem.

damn i sound like a shill for ebay sorry.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
now i got confused. i saw that i can buy from amazon wireless an locked phonw with or without a contract and also from amazon.com itself that its seems sells from independet seller (like the market). whoshould i choose? at least i have some time to think about it cos my firned will be in the states in a month from now.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
I bought from Amazon Wireless, which is Amazon direct. They will sell you a locked phone without contract.

When I bought it, it used to be wrongly labled as "unlocked" I contacted them and they offered a full refund. Since I'm in the UAE I didn't want that, just an unlock code, to which they said they can't help me with that. So I ended up unlocking from AmericanUnlocker.

I prefer to buy direct, in this case it would be Amazon Wireless, that'll help with returns.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
thank incidentflux you made my choice clearer. i will buy it from amazon wireless direct. also the delivery is free and will take 2-3 days to my friend's door.

unfourtuntly it will take a while until i will get it, hope ics will be out by then and if not the inc3ption rom will be a great choise :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
Glad to help. Yes shipping is free as well. But the smartphone will still be locked to AT&T by the way, which is an inconvenience.

I also ordered the SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC :)

Hello

How do I add Three UK Network Buttons to my HTC Desire S. The phone is unlocked to all networks and is unbranded. I am with Three. My previous phone is a Three phone and has the buttons on the main screen.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Hi Gill,

What do you mean by the 'Network Buttons'? If these are short-cuts to Three services then they will almost certainly have been part of a specific Three ROM or software on your previous phone. The whole point of an unbranded phone is that it doesn't carry any of the bloat that service providers put on top.

If you really want that sort of stuff then you would probably have to root your phone and install a Three branded ROM instead of whatever is on there now.

Unless (and I have no idea on this) Three have their own app-store or equivalent which would let you install the bits you want?
[HTC Desire S] JoeyXz:
Maybe the Three application could be an alternative:

[HTC One X] otarinz:
Man I went back and forth on this so much, eventually called clove at the last minute and changed to white. Grey looks awesome though! I just thought the white showed off the body styling a bit more, and the glossy edges didn't stand out as much on the white. Plus I can find where I put it down much easier :D
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
White without a shadow of doubt... It just stands out and really shows of the curve and design of the phone. I've had the phone a few days now and there is still not many people out there using White phones will also makes you feel a little unique haha.
[HTC One X] otacon888:
I was also undecided about which color to get but eventually I ordered the white one.
[HTC One X] Sckank:
I like both but after seeing them both I went for the dark one.
[HTC One X] Robboftw:
It has to be white.

This phone is made to be white, it looks absolutely fantastic.

If I could only get grey, I wouldn't get one at all. The difference is night and day. :)
[HTC One X] ewok666:
White looks great BUT get's dirty very quickly and could stain much more easily. I put my white SGS2 down on a desk at work and afterwards had a small blue stain from a drop of ink or so on it. It took a lot of cleaning alcohol and rubbing before that had faded away! With the 'texture' on the back of the One X I'm not sure that would ever come off.....so black it was for me this time ;-)
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Grey here.

The White will end up a piss stained yellow eventually, regardless of claims made. The iPhones don't suffer such a fate because of the glass. Any polycarbonate discolours in time.

I also don't like the fact the white makes the phone more easily identifiable in public. People will know what it is as soon as you pull it out of your pocket. That's just asking for trouble.

It's a shame because overall I think the white looks stunning but there's just too much unknown risk for comfort.
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
I can wipe the ink marks easily. I saw some videos with some one writing with a ball pen on the back of white one x and wiping it so easily. So, I am with white.
[HTC One X] Havoc2k:
view thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546039&highlight=white+dark

there are already problems with the white one getting dirty and can't be cleaned

i got a dark one... seems better to me ;)
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
It really depends on how you look after your phone...but here is the real truth. The polycarbonate body isn't all that tough despite what HTC have said. The white one IS stain resistant but not stain proof!!

But the real issues actually lie with the grey one.

1) It is a fingerprint magnet. Even cleaning it with a damp cloth doesn't remove the fingerprints easily. You will need mild detergent mixed with water on the cloth.

2) It goes SHINY when scuffed. In fact, a few grey models I saw were actually slightly marked out of the box from new.

3) Rubbing at it over time, such as in a pocket or from brisk cleaning, may cause the finish to change where this happened.

The big advantage of the white one, is that the texture differences are much less visible especially if rubbed or has fingermarks and is actually, and surprisingly, likely to look better if not exposed to too much staining risk.

Having said all of that, I think the grey looks more refined and sophisticated. BUT, I ended up with a white one for what I consider those practical reasons above. I absolutely hate when matte surfaces go shiny when they get rubbed/scratched etc.

The Xperia S is the absolute WORST plastic phone for a long time. A fantastic phone badly let down by the choice of casing material. The black matte surface rubs off VERY VERY easily. The white one stains almost immediately you have it and the staining doesn't come off.

This is one area I think Apple have pegged. The iPhone 4/4S phones simply do not age with careful-normal usage. A good choice of metal and scratch resistant glass surfaces. OR HTC should do what they did with phones like the Evo 3D, where you can replace the whole back with a new one when it gets scruffy.

Anyway answering to your question... I have a while one, my brother has a white one, my other brother has a grey one who's now switching to a white one after seeing my white one
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
White!!

Oredered a white without seeing in real life. It was really beautiful when i first saw it. Nog i've send it Doa , and in the mean time I saw a grey one live in a shop. So if I wanted too I could get a grey one now, but there is no doubt I'm getting a white one again!!

I really didn't like the grey one... It looks like just another dark rectangle smartphone... You don't see the design as with the white one.

The grey one in the shop was full with fingerprints, smudge, uneven coloring, just weird. And the white one was as new...

And that from a guy that never tought he would want a white cell phone:d:D.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] guy7685:
try flashing jvu from samfirmware with odin3 v1.82 and pit512 with repartition

after you get PASS, restart the phone and wait until some processes will complete, the phone will automatically reboot, then take out & insert back the battery.

after that continue as usual with the flashing of custom kernel like semaphore 2.5.0.

now you'll be able to install custom roms
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shaharofir:
+1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Solway:
ive done alot of flashing

can u provide link to jvu etc

only other option i have found is using adb command and remake the partitions, but i can't get premission on the phone to do that via recovery. take a look at my other thread.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takeadare:
I was installing a new Kernel late last night, kernel didn't have a posted checksum and yet I flashed anyway. CWM said it had flashed correctly. I erased my cache and dalvik and rebooted. Now I can't make it past the SAMSUNG screen. Cool! I'm no noob (just a lurker), I've run into problems before. It won't go into CWM, acts like it really wants too, but goes back to the SAMSUNG screen when it should be displaying CWM. I go to ODIN back to stock, put the phone into 'download mode' and the computer can't find the phone. I tried 3 different cords, all of my USB ports, battery pull and put back into 'download mode', reinstalled the Samsung drivers - nothing. I've used Heimdall several times in the past on my Ubuntu laptop. I try using Heimdall, all the USB ports, cords, Heimdall can't see the phone in download mode. I've run out of ideas, where do I go from here? Should I start looking for a replacement phone?

hi, at first I never expected such a perfect rom, stable, almost fully funcional and UI is the best part of it

hi, I think a bug that it´s freaking me out is the signal, my phone loses signal randomly, and I have to restart it(airplane mode switch on and after off doesn´t workout). I don´t know if it´s a common issue with you but I have that

besides that, I will continue testing the rom and waiting for the camera issue that I think it´s the biggest problem we have now, the other things we can live without,

thanks,ics rocks

Hi guys,

I have a strange error.

I'm running 2.3.5 VoiduS 3D v1a [PROXUSER] with Sense 3.0.

I have a game installed called tiny tower. If game is still running in front when i hold power button and select shutdown, phone shuts down, but in the morning for example, when I turn it on, battery is gone like that game would be running whole night..

Where can i start looking for a problem?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Really stupid first question from me...

What happens if you actually close the program down and then shut the phone down? Do you still get battery drain?

If not then I would suggest the game is holding something open and stopping the phone from actually shutting down properly.
[HTC Desire S] SubjectX:
If I shut down game first, battery is ok.

I was wondering why shutdown doesn't do what its supposed to do: shut down everything :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Check settings......power......fast boot = off

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
Maybe you did not shutdown but only standby the device. That is the usual behaviour of shutdown in Sense Roms to wake up the phone faster.

You have to uncheck something called like "quick boot" or so in power settings to make a real shutdown. Don't know exactly how it is named cause I cannot check this, I'm on CM 9 right now.

You can test this by rebooting your device. Hit the power button, check reboot and you will see it needs much longer to boot. Plus the game is gone.

Ups, Ben was faster. :-D So it's called "Fast boot" - looks like I have to return to Endy :-)

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Also, I would recommend upgrading your ROM...

VoidU is a really old ROM now! :) its based on the Desire HD leaked Sense 3.0 ROM, we have our own official version now.

I suggest upgrading to Hyperion is you want a similiar Sense 3.0 experience, heck, just go to Endymion with the latest (on GB) Sense 3.5.

Im guessing over time your ROM has become corrupted, so you are having drainage issues with apps running in the background hogging CPU power when they shouldn't be.

Our own official Sense 3.0 is also much more optimized... As it was actually built for the device!

Did the file that you downloaded has a .zip file extension behind ? , if it doesn't , add in the .zip . Sometimes , CWM can't detect because mainly of the file extension . It might also be of your antivirus , i've heard of some cases , that people's antivirus started randomly deleting files off , thinking that they're malware and viruses .
