The HD7 in India?

Will the HD7 has complete functionality as it does in other countries...
Like the HTC Weather tabs, the Zune full screen photo backgrounds etc etc...

Yes, i own the HD7, have been for a few days now. Everything seems to work like in any other country. The UI is fantastic even though it seems a bit Kaccha(unripe). Of course its 7.0 so

Superb man!!! all the best and lemme know ur experience!!

I would recommand you wait it out.
If you are ready to Shell out 25-26k
You rather Get the Galaxy S or Nexus S comes to around Rs. 27,500
better functionality .better features.
If you are only interested in Screen size then go for the HD7.
Nothing is really good as far as Im concerned.
So please do your research before purchase.
(Im currently regretting it)

Honestly, i dont see any point in waiting its not like the hardware is going to get better. Microsoft is releasing an update to Windows phone 7 at the end of the month that makes the phone even faster, preserves battery life and adds copy and paste among others.
Theyve done a really good job for a 1.0 OS release, however it is clear that there are several small features missing(like msg forwarding). If this isnt going to hinder you too much i would urge you to go with the hd7
Dont be swayed by the emergence of dual core phones, there are no dual core ready apps yet, and that will take time.
As for the HD7, it has the biggest screen out there, and it is really really fast. I love the responsive UI and the front panel which actually looks quite subtle and modest(as opposed to the flashy samsung omnia which looks gaudy).
Sorry for the delayed reply.

Hey thanx for ur reply...But I have a little disconnect with your opinion of Omnia. I honestly think that the colours on Omnia 7 are bright and colourful and HD7 lacks that.
Look at this pic:
http://gallery.me.com/o.khademi/100025/HD7 v O7/web.jpg?ver=12896154820001
The fuschia pink looks like fuschia pink on the Omnia. But on the HD7 it looks like baby pink.
And this is the case with all the reviews I have seen on YouTube and elsewhere.
So I think I have changed my mind and am mostly going to but Omnia 7 (WHEN it hits India that is).
But thanx anyways.

I'm sorry but nothing works in India. Whenever I try to use/download an app through zune or through marketplace on the handphone....I get the message that this feature is not available in your country.
Zune suggested making another live account in the US & asked me to change my region/location on my PC....even that did not work. Dunno why did they launch this phone in India.
I simply hate what they have done with WMP7 in the process of trying to mimic iPhone. Even iPhone users have access/connectivity to outlook & this does not have it. I was a hardcore user of windows phone for the last maybe 15 odd years, but not after this. Cannot sync with outlook, cannot copy excel files, cannot browse the phone for files directly, cannot customize stuff etc. etc. Better to go with iPhone or any other phone than with WMP7.
Just my 2 bit along with some facts.

hey dude...I got my HD7 and believe me, everything works like a charm.
Here is one thing you have to keep in mind: MAKE Sure all all the accounts have the country as 'US (United States)' May it be your phone's country, your Live account's country, your computer's country...
Try resetting your phone (u might lose data) and when on the next startup it asks (it asked me and I was clever to click US) just click on United States...everything else will follow...
Cheers! Hope I was helpful...PM me if you have any questions...

HTC has actually launched these phones in India before Microsoft has launched WP7 here, hence the problems.
If you have everything set to U.S. accounts, it works perfectly. I've had my TMoUS HD7 (which I picked up back home in NY) on Vodafone in Mumbai since November.

guys,
got one in dec for 15K on Craigslist from the US.. T-mobile.. since it is us, i can even use all market apps here.. couldnt be happier...

I have got a T-Mobile branded HD7 and wanted to know if any of you guys have tried 3G on HD7 (T-Mobile)?

Build quality's pretty solid. Just a slight notch below the HD2, but still almost on par with the best in the industry.
Audio's pretty good (download HTC's Sound Enhancer app and you can enable SRS Enhancement- makes a big difference) and video's great (as you'd expect on such a large screen). The screen's not quite as eye-popping as the AMOLED or Super LCD panels in some other WP7/Android phones, but I still prefer having the larger screen size.
Battery life is about average for a big smartphone. I typically charge it at night, so as long as it lasts for a full day of moderate to heavy use (which it does), it's fine for me. If I forget to charge, it'll last through most of a second day (of light use).

G2x in stores?

Is it??????????

Nope. The G2X will be available in t-mobile stores on April 20th 10:00am.

Technically yes, but no cause they cant sell it to you yet. How I know because I held one and a gslate on a tmobile store, not a display item but the real working deal.

You couldn't take the 5 seconds to type "t-mobile g2x" into a search engine? Instead you took the minutes to clutter the forum with a useless thread? Oy vey

Go down to the store. Tell them you want to see the demo they got in the back. That's what I did. The chick looked at me and said, "what makes you think we already have one?" Ok, right sweettits, give up the goods. She smiled then went to the back and got it.
I have to say, for the 5 min I played with it, I love it. I doubt they will sell out but I talked her into holding one for me till I got off work. And got her number. WIN!

It was the sweet-tits comment, they love that.

Yesterday, the store next to my office let me play with a functioning demo model. They said they do have them in stock but couldn't sell one to me as it isn't in their systems yet.

except it was a guy so no sweettits or phone number but man that phone is fast i do wish the speakers were a little louder but its standable and for those dieing for the htc kick stand they had a belt clip case and the clip turns into a kickstand for both portrait and landscape. and the picture looks great. dont know if its better or worse than others but it is better than my droid and looked great.

^^^Thank you good sir, I will be hunting down this super case as soon as my G2X comes in the mail.
Btw, for all those who ordered the G2X online/over the phone, when I got my G2 back when it released online earlier than the street date I called my local store and asked if they had accessories and they said that they had them, but couldn't sell them yet as the phone wasn't out. But after I told them I had already got the phone online they told me to bring it in and they let me buy whatever accessories I wanted.

Getting my DROID 3 on Wednesday. What should I expect coming from the iPhone?

I could simply not take iOS anymore. No customization, and I missed my Thunderbolt. So I decided to man up and get a DROID 3. What can I expect out of this device that seems to be sold out everywhere, even in retail stores.
I was so pumped to get it today but then the VZ Rep said "we're out of it you're not getting it till wednesday "

Honestly, the keyboard, it is the best mobile keyboard ever.

i got to play with it for a few seconds today, and i only played with the keyboard for like 2 seconds...so don't really have an opinion on that
hows the lack of RAM coming along? is it affecting performance in any way
honestly all i do on my phone is just check fb/twitter, pulse, and text and call
a few games now and then

I don't seem to notice any adverse effects of low RAM, but this is my first Android phone so I have nothing to compare to. Its amazing how much RAM some of this bloatware uses, but it still runs pretty fast. Can't wait to see how much this thing flies when its rooted.

And wtf are you talking about, I jus called VZ customer service and they have stock in the warehouse and they said they'll ship it tomorrow.

There are some people that need to root there phones to enjoy it and some that don't. I love android because you can do a bunch of really cool stuff and yes you can do some other cool stuff when rooted that you can't with out root. To me I don't care a lot about root but I like it for a few cool things but im an android stock fanboy.

West coast likely has more stock. I've had mine for a few weeks but it got here with two-day shipping just like they said (Arizona).
But coming from iOS the major difference is that Google has no interest in controlling how you use your device, as far as they care you are free to do anything with it. Moto and Verizon care a little, but it's still not locked down as tight as the iPhone, especially in the App Market.

i know ohw to use android lol, i switched from the thunderbolt to the iphone because i had to do some school stuff

Even unrooted Android is still a lot more open than iOS. For example you can install a SNES emulator, supply your own ROMs and you're instantly playing the classics. On iOS this will require a jailbreak, easy to do, but it voids your warranty. You can pretty much install what you want from an apk file even if the app isn't in the marketplace.
Android has the advantage of being spread across a wide variety of devices. Its not a one device fits all market. Some like a physical keyboard like the Droid 3, some want a larger screen and could care less about a physical keyboard like the Droid X2, etc.

The main thing is that the iphone has more control over the apps it runs. For example, on android you can close an app and 10 minutes later its back open, whereas the iphone wont do this.
edit: you can get apps that can help with this, like advanced task killer set to highest level
also, the appstore is all meant for the iphone whereas some of the apps in the market are splintered, with some not being able to work because of hardware differences. it doesnt always happen that often, but when it does its like heartbreak.
Android is the new windows vista, bro.
If you can live with those two things, the experience is far superior and you will like how everything works vs an apple product. plus, you wont have to be a hipster//macfag anymore

Lol I've been using android for over a year. I know how it works haha. Just that I was using an iphone for a while so I was wondering if anything interesting happend during my absence

Auto screen rotation

Is anyone else experiencing issue with their screen not rotating to landscape? I don't know if it's me or if there's an issue with the phone itself. I noticed last night my screen wasn't rotating during video playback on Youtube or when surfing the internet.

My thread HERE dealing with people edge not working was a result of a bad accelerometer. Same issues: calendar and apps not rotating. I downloaded a clinometer app and would only see the accelerometer track about 14 degrees off center and then stop as I rotated the phone.
I returned the phone this morning for a new one and all's well. 64 GB Whites are starting to sell out though. I had to drive to a BB about 30 minutes away to get a replacement.

I did the same and found out mine is doing the same thing.
Yeah, I went to Verizon yesterday and they were going to replace it and they didn't have any 64GB white edges. No one within 150 miles does. I have fourteen days to get a new one either by waiting for it to come to the store. I called VZW and they can't do it over the phone and guarantee me a new phone.
So, I will wait for a new one.

Got my replacement and everything is good to go...
You can close this thread.

I'm having the rotation issue too. I've read other places that is a software issue. Gunna have to get a replacement tomorrow.

Well after doing the run arounds with Verizon they're finally sending me a new phone. I called the local stores and there's not a single one within 60 miles that has the white 64GB Edge in stock. I was very hesitant doing it over the phone, but they said they didn't have any certified like new devices yet so that I would most likely get a new device. I did tell them though that I would send it right back if it wasn't a brand new device. Its a shame there's not a simple fix for this issue.

I was in the same boat. No white 64GB edge within 200 miles. I went through the same thing on the phone with Verizon. I had to explain to the CSR on the phone that it is not a warranty claim nor an insurance claim. It is an exchange and there is absolutely no reason for not getting a brand new phone.... But they wanted me to send the phone to them first and then they would send me a brand new one after receiving the bad one. Good you are getting a new one. I actually went a got a black one from the store. I had, had enough of Verizon and just wanted a properly functioning phone.

Ya, if it's not new I'll just swap it out at the store for a regular S6. At this point I'm just hoping they keep their word and it's a new device. I'm not a very patient person and with as much time as I've already put in with Verizon, it's not worth it to keep swapping phones.
How's your replacement working so far?

Gave droid-life some info on the issue and they did a write up. Hopefully it'll get some more attention and we'll get a definite answer on the cause from Samsung soon.

I'm not patient either... Especially when it comes to stuff like this. You should call Verizon after you get your phone and see if they can credit your account for all the hassle. They credited me $40.

Nice! If the same issue pops up on the new phone I'll definitely be doing that.

So far so good. I'm doing a fast charge to see if that makes it kick the bucket, then I'll add my apps again. If it goes bonkers in a few days, I'll move on to the S6. Anyways, what I wanted to post is some disappointing news (for me). It'll be hard to tell unless anyone else has this issue and can download the "Phone Info Samsung" app. My original phone that had the issue was made on 3-29-15 in China. The phone they replaced it with was also made on 3-29-15 in China. If its hardware related, surely I'm screwed.

Got my edge on launch day and was fine for one day, then wouldn't rotate. So, I replaced it. Agaij, for one day it was fine and then started to not rotate again. I wasn't going to replace it every time this happened, so I waited it out and as of yesterday, the rotation is working fine, like it just fixed itself.

the phone i have that is not working was made on 2015.04.02 (not sure if February or April) and also made in China. I will check when i get the new phone to find out.

I'm having the same problem. I honestly didn't even realize it until I started seeing people with the issue... Now it bothers the hell out of me. I'm going to try to get a new one from a store after work today.
Although I find it hard to believe it's a hardware issue when this many devices are seeing it. Working right out of the box and then all of a sudden it stops is pretty indicative of software in my eyes... At least that's what I'm hoping for.

I'm having the same problem. I honestly didn't even realize it until I started seeing people with the issue... Now it bothers the hell out of me. I'm going to try to get a new one from a store after work today.
Although I find it hard to believe it's a hardware issue when this many devices are seeing it. Working right out of the box and then all of a sudden it stops is pretty indicative of software in my eyes... At least that's what I'm hoping for.

If you dont mind, download the Phone Info Samsung app and share when and where your device was made. Seems like devices made in China are the majority of the ones with the issue.

I'm definitely starting to guess it has something to do with the phones made in China. What sucks is the replacement phone I just got was made on 3-29-15 in China too.
Thanks for sharing your info btw!

well the next question I have is... does anyone have a phone that WASN'T made in China? I haven't seen anyone mention it was made elsewhere.

Huawei Mate 20 pro Canadian discussion thread

This is looking to be an epic phone guys. ??? Mine is already pre-ordered since this morning. Who else is getting this bad boy? What feature's got you most excited?

I'm getting it! Pre-ordering tomorrow through Bell. I'm excited about everything to be honest. I've been strictly with LG the past few years and have been making a ton of themes for it so I'm looking forward to a completely new device and experience...and of course to theme it!
But yeah for exciting features I'd have to say the camera is right up there with the in screen fingerprint scanner. I'm reading conflicting reports though about the ir feature. Some say it works as an it blaster to control a tv and some say it doesn't and just does the facial recognition thing. If it does do the tv function then that will also be something I love!

Mark Bencze in the house! Now you got me even more excited. Yeah man I remember rocking your themes on my LG G7 thinq which was a low key awesome phone btw. But yeah prepare to be amazed if the mate 20 is better than the p20 were in for a treat. I remember finishing work at 5 with 86% battery. That phone was beast. Anyway you give me even more reason to be looking forward to that phone. I always have more than one device so let me know if you need a tester. ?

I called Bell today and they aren't doing pre-orders quite yet. Hopefully they do soon so I can get everything taken care of.

Looks like we're the only 2 Canadians getting this phone[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I pre-ordered mine yesterday from Rogers! Do you know if there's a case in the box and where to find the official Huawei case??
Thanks!

Hola
I am on the fence. Given the screen issues that are reported I want to see what batches we get in Canada. Plus lack of getting bootloader unlock (though not a must have) may be the deal-breaker for me... I wonder if the prices on 2 year contracts will be good on Black Friday.

I am also about to order this phone from Fido, however, only concern is the screen.
Not sure how warranty would work, i want to buy the phone (full price).

So far, all the unboxing videos showed an included transparent case. So I would say yes but I ordered one from Amazon just in case. No pun intended. As far as the official ones, did you try Huawei's website?

Those are solid points. As far as the screen issue goes well you have 15 days to return or exchange the phone. If you wait you miss out on the free Huawei watch 2 (if that matters to you.

I pre-ordered mine on the 26th from Rogers, and just called in today to get an update. Nothing in the system yet, but hopefully they're still ready to deliver on the 7th/8th.
I asked what the return policy was, and she did mention I have the 15 days if I change my mind. I recommend all of you to use it like crazy to detect any of the green screen issues early on!
Let's all keep each other posted on when we receive it and if we notice any issues.

Looks like no freebies from Bell which really bothers me. They're the only ones not offering anything when you pre-order. I'm still grabbing one but I'm disappointed they're not offering anything.

I am with Fido and they as well are apparently not providing any additional goodies. I will call in and see if they can give up something useful.

bell I was told from a store manager at bell that there was going to be a watch included with a huawei product because my wife was going to get a P20 pro. Wait till the 8th and see what they say. I was also promised a loyalty deal but with their track record I wouldn't expect much

Yeah I called a Bell world store and was told the same thing. They said it's for new activations only though aka 2 year deal and I'm buying mine outright so I likely won't get it unless I get lucky. Fingers crossed. Thursday morning I'm grabbing it!

I would be very surprised if Telus was the only provider offering the smart watch. But still tho, Bell? Seriously? I know you have other options [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I hope you all get a free watch[emoji6]

Just got mine, didn't care to get the watch, running it on the virgin network
