Re: HTC One early launch???

Weird I asked p4u this morning online they are still expecting 15/03

With the screens conversation. There's no doubt the one x screen blows amoled out the water. Although I have a nexus I love the amoled screen. There's not much in it. Only difference I see is brightness in the colour. Just the whites and blacks beyond that I see no difference lol
[One (M7) General] riz157:
A lot of haters unfortunately feeling bit threatened by htc one.

Re: HTC One early launch???

Its delayed too some retailers.. hoping it isn't with handtec but knowing my luck.... :)
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I think some of the stores might be getting them later however online p4u are still sticking to the 15th.

The feel of SLCD is different to amoled. Yes the whites are whiter on SLCD screens and the blacks are deeper on amoled screens.

SLCD screens produce some of the most realistic colors you can find on a screen, but might not offer as wide of a contrast ratio.

AMOLED screens, you might hear people complaining about something called a “pentile” display.appear grainy, or appear to be lower resolution due to the larger, more visible sub pixels.

That's why most prefer SLCD 3.

But I better not make any negative comments about amoled and positive comments about SLCD might upset Samsung fans!

If anyone can read this post before I ask and find from Google, Can someone find good technical thing comparing for LCD, AMOLED, LCD2, LCD3, IPS-LED etc. for better understanding screen technology

Are you all there in the head
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
+1

Ordered mine from Handtec, and they charged me, so I really do hope they're getting it the 14th/15th
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Re: HTC One early launch???

Did they charge you immediately? Like when you placed the order?
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
Yep.

Might be because I used Google Wallet for payment
[One (M7) General] :
Re: HTC One early launch???

Done mine through goggle pay and not been charged yet :/ wonder if that's a bad sign.
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
Well, I'll give it a try.

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. Without going into too much detail, it works by blocking light: so there is a bright light immediately behind the whole screen, switched on all the time, and each sub-pixel blocks out varying amounts of that light.

TFT is a term you'll hear thrown around sometimes. It refers to a type of LCD display, but one that is so common that absolutely all LCD displays on smartphones are TFT.

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a different kind of display. Instead of having a light behind it that is on all the time and blocking out different amounts of it, each OLED subpixel is a little tiny light source in its own right.

AMOLED is technically a sub-type of OLED display but, again, pretty much all OLED displays on smartphones are AMOLED, so the distinction is not important.

Just to confuse you :) different LCD displays use different types of backlight. Some of them use LEDs (not OLEDs) as a backlight, while others use florescent light.

Because LCD works by blocking a bright light, its biggest weakness is usually black-level: even when it is blocking as much light as it can, a little bit still leaks through. So, black is never perfectly black: it's actually dark grey. By contrast (see, what I did there?), with OLED you can turn the pixel off completely, and it should be totally dark.

If what the screen is showing has a lot of dark pixels in it, OLED is more power-efficient, because each pixel only burns the power it needs to make its own light, whereas with LCD the while backlight is on and bright all the time. However, LCD backlights are quite efficient nowadays, so if the screen is mostly bright pixels, LCD may well use less power.

LCD screens can usually go brighter than OLED at maximum brightness.

OLED displays usually have better viewing angles: with LCD, if you aren't looking at it from straight ahead, the display may seem less bright or have poorer blacks. (But this varies quite a bit from display to display).

Over time, OLED displays can sometimes fade a little, and can do unevenly - so if a particular strip of screen is always lit up bright white, that may fade more than the pixels either side.

While there's no theoretical reason why an OLED display necessarily needs to do this, in practice they are usually set up to display very strongly saturated colours. Many people like this; many others don't. If you look at a correctly adjusted television, an LCD display will look closer to that; an OLED display will look like a TV when you've turned up the colour control much too high. But I think a majority of people probably prefer bright colours. (I'm not one of them!)

IPS is a sub-category of TFT-LCD displays. The IPS tech improves the viewing angle, but uses more electricity.

SLCD, SLCD2 and SLCD3 are marketing terms rather than technical ones; SLCD2 is the type of display use in the HTC One X; SLCD3 is used in the HTC Butterfly and One. Compared to some other LCD phone displays they have quite good black levels (though not as good as OLED), accurate colours and (by LCD standards) good viewing angles.
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
Btw, it's my luck against yours, I'm usually really lucky when new devices are considered (Never ever had any type of malfunction with any type of tech I ever bought, usually, the malfunction is purely my fault (like when I built my own computer, almost fried the entire thing in the process, but it works magnificently right now))

Let's just hope for a draw, eh?

At least you guys are able to preorder and have estimates, I'm US Sprint and we aren't hearing a single word. You would think if the phone is supposed to be available to us this month we would at least have a preorder date for Sprint or Best Buy.

Then again the US will probably also get shafted by the manufacturing holdup, then Apple will file an injunction to halt imports and sales. :p

[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Obviously china won't get delayed issue because the cause of the delay was the ultrapixel camera module on which china has a 12megapixel version on theirs

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

If you ask me... Handtec seems to have some special deal with HTC here. Imagine their HTC One costs less than any stores + they get a free flip case without additional costs and a bundled package of a free beats headset for an additional 15GBP. So I'm still hoping for a non delayed release from them.

Make it our lucks against yours :D I too have no issues with my purchased phones for over a decade now. So I'm expecting the same again now.

I think you're probably right (unfortunately) - this from T-Mobile UK on Twitter yesterday when I asked when I could expect delivery...

'Hi, only at a pre-order stage as yet;'

They have never given a date on their site so I think they were hoping to get it early. Also, I was only given the choice of a black handset (which is fine, that's what I want)

Yep, I'm talking about the total negativity present in the forum :p
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
I'm not sure I agree with your original suggestion, though. In my experience, the more fuss someone makes about something, the less happy he is, and the more insecure.

It's like sex: the more someone brags about how amazing his sex-life supposedly is, the less pleasure he's probably getting out of it. People with genuinely satisfying sex lives get enough satisfaction from them that they have no need to brag; those who aren't satisfied try to make themselves feel better by boasting.

In the same way, those who are actually satisfied with their phones have no desire to bash other people's; those who are crushed with insecurity and secretly feel that their phone is inferior are the ones who compensate by savagely attacking the opposition.

[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Re: HTC One early launch???

Agree with you all phone shop guys are 95% less knowledgeable than XDA members further more I read some really bad review about p4u when I googled "Review phones4u" most of them are really worried about and serious, they are recent one hope everything gonna be OK with us but I missed to do one thing is to record the conversation with them while I was being ordered over the phone just for piece of mind so I don't left out any package or freebies offered to me

Guys, Handtek is now offering free hard case with both colours. In my opinion they are expecting more stock than their pre-orders expectations and its a simple marketing ploy if you ask me.

[One (M7) General] :
Re: HTC One early launch???

They've been offering the case for over a week now. I got an order with them.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
Its just my luck then. I ordered one last month and then one more about 5 days ago but never knew they'd start offering free hard cases :crying:
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:

Dialaphone would have the same date as they are phones4u Also. Let's just wait it out

Give them a call and ask as its s little unfair.
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
Pardon me but as you all place an order from Handtec, how fast are they?

I mean can they deliver an HTC One accessories in 3-5 days to Paris or they lose time askign for IDs and papers before?
[One (M7) General] :
Always next day delivery for me here in the UK but cant really comment on France.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
I will do so. No harm in asking :)

You don't need to ask. I believe everyone who already has order in line is getting the case.

No need I already did that for you a week ago :o they said older pre orders will get it.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
Thank you guys. I feel so much better now LOL

Btw I have shot them an email just in case.
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:

Just had a call from CPW after sending them an email Friday night and they are saying they have been contacted directly from the manufacturer on late Friday and 29th is new estimated date but things could change and be earlier, she said the date is not just for them it will be for all UK retailers its probably just not filtered down yet.

CPW are the biggest UK phone retailer have no reason to not believe them
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
it would seem that certain retails have different deals with htc, and htc are delaying certain retailers but not al.

e.g. ive walked into 3 p4u shops and they have had a big wall display in the shop all about the htc one

and all its features with 2/3 dummy devices /1 live device on request.

Ive only been to one cpw store but seen nothing like this.

To me that suggusts htc and p4u have some sort of deal going and hence p4u would be getting the phone before the others

(if all the stock rumors are true and htc are having to prioritise with certain retailers)
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
P4U are still adamant if I order off them I'll get Friday saying they've checked dates again for me
[One (M7) General] Bebida:
Re: HTC One early launch???

I would imagine that the bigger network operators will get stock before 3rd party retailers. I spoke directly to a HTC rep/manager whilst they were in my place of work and he said then that deliveries could be later than expected and that was 2 weeks ago so I think they have known for a while
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I agree with this, I also don't think carphone warehouse are the biggest Uk dealer anymore. I think phones 4 u is and phnes 4 u always seem to get exclusives on handsets and new offers etc. down oxford street phones 4 u have a dedicated samsung section in one of there stores (the store near tottenham court road), the flagship store in bond street did the launch of the HTC one and the other day were doing a xperia z premotion which I have not seen any other store do.

Phones 4 u also offer more phone choices than carphone warehouse and this is from observations for example only phones 4 u sell the HTC one X+ now as O2 have stopped, carphone never sold it. there has been in the past aswell with certain LG and motorola phones you can get from phones 4 u but not from anywhere else.

Carphone are also very slow on getting dummy models of things, I mean even the day before the launch of the xperia z not a single carphone warehouse had a demo or dummy unit even there flagship store opposite john lewis in oxford street didn't have one and none have a dummy unit of the htc one either yet loads of phones 4 u and three stores even have the real thing. Generally aswell phones 4 u have cheaper or better contract offers and sim free offers.

For example you want a xperia z in certain phones 4 u you can get it for £460 or £490 in others in all carphones its £530.

Other examples are phones that are year old or older phones for example sim free at p4u u can get the xperia s for £240 at carphone it was £300 the last time i checked and again with the xperia T, p4u is £340 at carphone its £399, galaxy note 2 at p4u is £509 at carphone its £550 those are just more examples.

I mean another example of better contract offers at phones 4 u, when I pre ordered my One i got free wireless speaker, the urbeats headsets and free case, phone was free on vodafone £37 a month 24 month unlimited minutes/texts and 1gb internet and 2gb wifi.

The same contract at carphone warehouse you have to pay £49 for the phone and all you get is free urbeats headsets or (at the time) beats solo headphones.

Back in the day i used to think carphone was much better than phones 4 u but now the tables have turned imo.

Last year when the saga was on going with the delays of the blue s3 etc, so i pre ordered the white one from carphone they kept telling me oh yea the phones will be available tomorrow and you can come and pick your phone up then, tomorrow came nothing, tried again the next day nothing, tried again the next day oh we will be getting them in a weeks time.

I thought screw this because had I gone phones 4 u, I could have had my phone already, while carphone don't seem to know what they are doing.

Also p4u do things like early contract buy outs and cashbacks if u trade in old phones.

I find customer service at phones 4 u very good aswell tbh.
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
Thought about changing from CPW to P4U then thought sod it I can live 2 weeks longer than others, least I'll be getting a second batch device which usually has lower fail rates than first run batch what early adopters scramble for lol

I'll just drool over the One by watching it on videos like a dirty stalker in the meantime :)

You will get that generic text untill the stock arrives to them. If they recieve stock before 5pm they should get it to you next day and you should recieve a text from UK mail. I rang ee and asked :)

Handtec response.

Thank you for your email. Please be advised that we are still expecting the HTC ONE to arrive in stock on 14/03/13, if there is any change in this date we will update our website to reflect this, Thank you for your co-operation with this matter. Regards. C While.

[One (M7) General] Sandiman:
I have used p4u a few times and I have to say their service was great.

However I have gone off them at the moment. I placed my order with them for an HTC ONE but the order was refused as I had bought a phone from them on-line a few weeks ago for my better-half and they say they do not allow anybody to buy more than one phone in any six month period. That seems daft to me but never mind there are other suppliers. Oh yes I can buy as any phones as I like from the shops.:confused::confused:

HTC One Confirmed to Arrive in Finland on April 29 :eek:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-...-Finland-on-April-29-for-640-830-336002.shtml
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
In the past , the top 3 UK retailers pushing the most HTC stock supposedly has been CPW, P4U and Amazon. Two of those three are still listing 15th of March, and Amazon is normally pretty good about updating their dates. They already have the hard shell case (not the flip version) in stock which would be a bit odd if the phone wasn't available for another 3 weeks.

I think CPW has lost some ground in the last year. But I have found it hard to buy from P4U because my experiences with them many years ago was like walking into double glazing sales shop (chavvy)

[EXCLUSIVE] HTC One arriving on March 12

http://www.mobiletechdeal.com/esclusiva-htc-one-in-arrivo-il-12-marzo/

Translated summary: They got that info (on March 8) directly from Expansys (that's the official HTC distributor), which stated that Expansys' European warehouses (centrally located in France) will receive it on March 12, and it will be immediately sold and dispatched from that date.
[One (M7) General] misterthomas32:

I pre-ordered mine 23 february at expansys.nl and I have no clue when I'll get it but I can't wait :(
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
I believe that Expansys are only the European distributor for the accessories and some EU handsets. The UK distribution of handsets is handled by HTC UK themselves as far as I understand.
