i use it around 30mins - 2 hours per day for calls, im also in cat 2.

ive actually found the one x is one of the best phones ive owned for calls, even outside in the wind the phone cuts all the ambient noise out. my last phone the dhd was awlful to use in windy conditions, and the phone before that my motorola milestone was also excellent in windy conditions like the one x but was useless at everything else (because of that phone i will never purchase motorola again).

great phone

Agreed. one x blocks alot of background noise.

Im in cat 2. i make about 2 - 3 hours phone calls daily. including personal and office calls. I have full battery when going to work. I get home and charge usually have about 20-30% battery left depending on how much data (3g) i use. No wifi at work so only use data.

So far battery life is good for me.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] danlivesey:
Is it safe to buy a xperia s or any upgrade of eBay when it's a upgraded phone that they don't want on contract? What's stopping them from getting the phone blocked after I leave feed back? Or 6 month down the line they can't pay there bill and the phone gets blocked and then it can only be used out of the UK. Is this the risk we have to take? I've got 2 options, but it of eBay for 300 or Amazon for 379 and be safe. Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ash_c64:
Hi myself wouldn't buy an upgrade or any contract phone from ebay period! To be safe this is a new phone and would have problems so incase of this it's better to get it from a retailer. Also the phone wouldn't be on a network.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] danlivesey:
Yea that's what I'm thinking for extra peace of mind I may as well buy from Amazon, its just so tempting from eBay as there are a lot for sale and every one seems to be buying them. Thanks for your answer
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] badriniki:
Same for me..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
I've bought and sold quite a few phones off eBay with no problems. You need to look at and check feedback etc. But to be honest if people are that worried in the first place they should buy from a retailer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] danlivesey:
Yes I have bought a lot of phones of eBay but not smartphones that are contract and upgrades that can be blocked. Have you bought plenty of upgraded contract phones, it's alright saying look at there feed back but you only have a month to leave feedback so after that month it could be blocked and then you won't be able to leave them bad feed back or bring it up with ebay.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
yes I've bought unwanted upgrades, smartphones etc. the thing is that all phones can be blocked whether upgrades or not. I can only comment on my experience with eBay, others might not be so lucky. When I say feedback what I meant was look at how much feedback what type of items they sell and even email some previous buyers just to confirm they got what they expected.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] moonset:
my XS was bought from ebay as an unwanted upgrade! (so as my X10)

I think it's quite safe, the warranty is still active as soon as the phone is a UK version. And I don't think they can block the phone (unless it's locked to a network). An unlocked phone = belongs to the owner ; locked phone = belongs to the network. (am i right?)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Are they really that cheap? Mine was €430 Branded and locked, 379GBP is about the same price, so if thats sim free I really got ripped out of it:eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] danlivesey:
Yes unlocked and debranded 379 GBP on amazon and play.com

So how would you get a unlocked phone as a upgrade? On contract. I think most of these phones selling on eBay may be unlocked with a code and not factory unlocked. Thanks every one, I'm swaying to eBay I think.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] moonset:
If the person signed the contract with Carphone Warehouse / Phone4u, then the phone must be factory unlocked (unless it's an exclusive model to one network). And you can still "upgrade" with carphone / phone4u.

Actually I am not sure if they can even lock a "locked / branded" phone... (there was a news a few weeks ago about people are investigating methods to remotely lock stolen phones... well, this must mean they can't do it at the moment.)

And my friend told me that he had a friend who was working in Orange, and he ALWAYS could

"steal" phones from the store. the method was:

1. Use someone's name and address to sign a contract (comes with the latest phone of course)

2. Use his own credit card to pay

3. Pay the first month bill

4. Then claim that he didn't purchase the contract, as the name and address isn't his

5. So the contract is cancelled

6. Done

7. The phone is still his.

I'm not sure if this method is still working LOL, not sure if everyone could do the same as the guy was a Orange staff. But DO NOT try!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] augie7107:
I have also bought multiple devices via Ebay and have always succeeded in unlocking the device and using it on my network.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
I upgraded my orange account via phones4u, their phones are sim free unlocked CPW are the same I think.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] danlivesey:
I see what you mean Warehouse / Phone4u most should be factory unlocked, say o2/Orange shop locked... I know the network can be blocked due to my friend at work having a contract phone, htc wildfire and he stopped paying his bill and the IMEI number was blocked by his service provider, the phone then couldn't be used the UK but works fine in any other country. The phone still works you just cant make calls when its blocked. Thanks

Yes i know i can unlock the phone if its locked to a network but it has to be factory unlocked to unlock my bootloader. Thanks anyway

Right so did you get your phone from a orange shop? then just go to Phones4u and just upgraded?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SkaterOllie795:
I bought my Xperia S off ebay for £260 unlocked brand new. I also bought an X10 over a year ago. ebay is great as long as the seller has good feedback. Also always pay with paypal as its easy to get your money back if there are any problems.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] geovision:
Are there more xperia s with that price?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
No everything done in phones4u shop. Kept same number just new tariff and phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
To date I start having screen issues with Xperia S, I have always bought phone from eBay (locked or unlocked) then take care of business with no issues.

When I bought the Xperia S from eBay, Yellow tint hit the screen and since it was from eBay I can't get it repaired. That sucks because basically with the market value of the phone and when I bought it I have lost $180 whether to sell it or get it fixed that is the price I have lost.

Faulty brand new phone that can't get fixed is not something that you would like to deal with a week after your purchase.

Remember, Market is flooded with Yellow screen Xperia S and Sony doesn't give a darn about it. So watch what you are buying.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] keithwalton:
Any phone can be blocked by imei number in the uk, pretty much if one network blocks then it gets blocked from all other networks as well. It's supposed to be a deterrent against theft as handsets become bricked pretty quickly.

I upgraded via phones4u as well and got free unlocked phone and 10% line rental discount ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sacentre:
I just got this very expensive piece of glass for the Galaxy Note to find that there's no cutout for the home key. It just covers it over. I'm very disappointed with it.

Amateur videos on YouTube I've watched show clearly there's a cutout for the Home button so maybe I just got a faulty one. Have emailed the supplier to ask them about it. Just very disappointed with such an expensive product.

[HTC Sensation] Sebastian768:
Yes, it's fat. There, I said it, the Sensation XE is fat and it's heavy. The One S wins hands down there. I have small hands and the One S was easier to hold, more comfortable and it felt more "right"...

But apart from taking up pocket space, what do you actually use the most on a smartphone? It's a trick question.....it's the screen.

I can't understand WHY HTC put a pentile screen on the One S. Compare the screens and the One S is an obvious downgrade from the XE. I didn't think I would mind as much, but when trying out the phone it really REALLY annoyed me. Holding them up side by side, the XE wins hands down. It just looks better.

If we look away from the possibility that it's a supply issue, that there is a lack of better screens, this is yet again clearly a sign of HTC's bad decisions of late.

The only reason I can see for using the pentile screen on the One S, is to make it obvious for potential buyers in-store that the One X is the superior phone. Spec wise, it is across the board, we all know that. But in the shop and in daily use, the difference isn't that noticable. Coming from an iPhone, you won't notice that the One S has lower specs that the X in daily use. But a consumer holding up the S and X next to each other, they will clearly see that the X is better. I think, if the S had the same display as, most MOST (but not all) would choose the S because of the size and they wouldn't care as much about the sprec. So HTC but an inferior screen in so they wouldn't compete against themselves.

The X is too big for my hands, the S is the mainstream perfect size. For now, I'm sticking with the XE and next time, I might just get a Samsung. It's the only way I can show HTC, by how I use my money. Ranting here sure won't help hehe.

HTC need a reality check, like STUCK plummeting, important people getting fired, good staff going to Samsung.
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
Agreed. I owned a One S for a period of two days. Totally disappointed with the Screen, battery and functionality.

And I also agree, my XE wins hands down, and I was glad to be using it afterwards.

I have a friend who works in "A big Phone Retailer" who has never seen so many returns with the whole range.

HTC needs to change their strategy, because it's losing customers with the "ONE" range. I am one of them.

Regards to the OP.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I'm up for my tmo contract at the end of this year but I could get a discount on a new phone now and I'm definitely NOT going with the one S. I just don't see any benefit using it over the sensation. I'm hoping Tmo gets the GS 3 when it comes out but I'm not holding my breath with that since they were the last of the major us carriers to get the gs 2.

The other option is going with the elephant sized galaxy note, but I really don't think that's for me.
[HTC Sensation] OneOneSix:
Agreed, I dont see how any one can make use of such a big device on the daily basis.
[HTC Sensation] x_SCOS_x_ELITE:
my father is getting one in the mail on monday, i cant wait to put it against my sensation
[HTC Sensation] Tirozz:
Well, it's a budget phone right, so I guess they've put in a cheap screen for that reason.
[HTC Sensation] Sgt.Incontro:
Umm... Hardly...

It is an mid-upper range device.

It costs around 400 quid new.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
So much rationalization in these forums.

Sensation vs SII, oh the Sensation feels faster than the SII (even though benchmarks and neutral users/reviewers all agree that the SII is a faster device) and the screen of the SII may be better than the Sensation but who cares, etc.

Now you have the One S, which is way faster than the Sensation with a worse screen, most people are still rationalizing about how the Sensation is a much superior device.

If that is the case, then the SII would have been the obvious choice from the beginning if all you want is a good display.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Not really sure what your point is?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Stop using the screen as an argument for rationalizing about a device you own or to discredit a phone that's markedly faster.

The same people that have been hating on the SII did not care about the screen quality even though the device is faster.

Now you have a new device that has a worse screen that's way faster than the Sensation but the same people that did not care for the display of a device are hating on it BECAUSE of its screen.

Double standards much?
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Oh, ok, I see what you're saying. The screen to me is a non-issue, I still don't see the one S being an upgrade over the sensation. Faster? In daily use or just in benchmarks? My biggest issue with it is the lack of storage, I used to have a 16 gb sd card and between music, video, and backups it got filled pretty quickly.

The battery isn't great but I could live with it, although if I'm on a trip away from home it's nice to know if I run out I have a backup battery I can just pop in the phone and go.
[HTC Sensation] totalundone:
I wouldn't say it's a downgrade... but there's no compelling reason to upgrade.

While the chipset, camera, and dimensions are better - the screen is iffy (AMOLED but pentile), limited to 16 GB, and no real option (yet) to install a larger battery.

If they supported TMO AWS, I would probably be looking at the Xperia S. Slightly smaller than the Sensation with a 720p screen, more ram, better camera, etc. With the latest rumors that the GSIII has a 4.8" screen... I'm not sure I really want anything like that.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Those are all valid reasons and I respect that and even agree with them.

What I think is absolutely ridiculous and stupid is the sheer amount of double standards and rationalization that a large number of people here tend to exhibit.
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
No, the One V is the 'budget' one of the range.
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
My sensation(running aokp) is an excellent phone and development is outstanding but the sense OS really sucks so I wont be buying a One S. Might try a samsung handset but after rooting and flashing 3 samsungs for friends and family huge PTA by the way I might have to jump ship altogether.
[HTC Sensation] grcd:
I don't get the point of this rant. Tech-wise, One S is far superior to the One X in my opinion. I mean, apart from the screen, the One X has very little going for it. Tegra3 is a massive disappointment (just like Tegra2 was), and pales in comparison to Snapdragon 4 when it comes to the things that matter for a phone: Speed and battery life.

Yes, One S runs at a lower resolution, so it is close to 'cheating' since we are not comparing like-to-like. One S would probably be a much inferior experience to One X, if it was to run at the same (higher) resolution.

But we are comparing consumer experiences here, and that's where One S absolutely beats One X hands down. It feels faster (even on stock), and its battery life is one of the best I have seen on a phone. It regularly stays alive for over 3-4 days on a single charge, with data and sync on.

Plus, although Pentile, the Super AMOLED is still a work of beauty, delivering incredible colours and blacks. The only thing One X (and XE) have going for them is that S-LCD offers superior pixel density and does not have jagged-lines.

But One S is smaller, lighter, and clearly the better device.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
I've said it numerous times.

Sensation owners trying to rationalize that their device is better than what it actually is nowadays.

Human psychology at its finest.
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
agreed!

I think I see it 99% every time a new awsm phone comes out
[HTC Sensation] Rackfoo:
You have been on a discussion board before....right? :what:
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
You're very unique on forums, and I can relate, because we think a lot alike. No matter what comes out, people will always find a way to argue that the Sensation is the better device. It's not unique behavior to the Sensation, nor is it unique to phones (I see the same behavior on car forums I'm on). Saying that the One S is undeniably worse is unreasonable. What would make sense is to say that you don't feel that the One S is enough of an improvement to justify jumping for it. For me, I really care about the display on a phone, and I've read enough bad things about the One S and its bad display to avoid it. I don't really get the rationalization behavior, though. It only took me 3 weeks after getting my Sensation way back when to wish I had waited to get the GS2 instead. I was also very vocal on this forum about how I thought the Sensation was nice for my first Android, but how I was also underwhelmed by it (especially the performance and screen) and I posted a lot in the early Sensation vs. GS2 threads about how I as a Sensation owner had to cede that the GS2 was the better overall device.

Back a little bit on topic, I have to say that I'm really disappointed in the trend we're seeing with Android devices. I really want the One X's screen, but the overall size of the One X is too big for me. The One S has the form factor I want, but not the screen. The GS3 is receiving major hype right now, but we can be fairly confident that it too will have a large 4.6"+ display and consequently large dimensions, so I don't think I can get the GS3 unless they manage to make the screen nearly edge to edge. Will we ever see 4.3" display devices that also get top of the line specs again?

I have "The Devil kernel" with BLN V9 and the App BLN installed.
