I called HTC to see if my phone will be coverd if anything happens to it and I was told that they do not cover this phone. Gave them my IEMI # and SN #. This is bad news if somthing happens might return the phone bc of this.
and why would that be?

They said that the serial # and IEMI # are not supported by them. I let them know that is was bought in the US and it works on T-mobile services. I am pissed bc the guys at popular electronics said it would be covered here in the US. Also the phone is a world phone so it should be covered here.
That's strange....its a HTC phone...HTC repair in the USA probably want replace the phone unless its the Verizon version....maybe the HTC overseas will cover it since that's the real market the phone was meant to be sold in.

Is your model a S710E? If so, it's a European model, so it's no surprise it's not supported in the US.

The North American model # is S710A. Don't India/Asia use the same 3G frequencies as Europe?

I have the S710E model and yes i did call popular electronics. They first told me it would be covered even before i bought the phone i called HTC and asked if it would be covered and they said yes so did popular electronics. But when i called htc back with my IEMI # they said it is not supported in there system . Then popular electronics change there story by saying it might be covered and they don't really know anymore bunch of bull****. I guess i will have to call HTC Europe if i have problems. What number would i call if i have the S710E model.
They shouldn't have sold you a European device in the first place.
Tell them you wish to have it replaced by an American one.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell a European device in America, so if they refuse your offer, warn them that you will take legal steps if necessary.
It's a high end smartphone for crying out loud, after-sales should be the least bit of your worries.

If you're using the phone on Tmobile US the only phone you can use is the international version which is model number s710e. You will not find a US version of the phone. The US sellers are selling phones they imported from overseas.

This has been the case for well over a decade. To my knowledge, only Nokia and SE have given warranty support for their grey-market phones and only to certain ones. If a buyer was Really interested in a warranty for their grey-market phones, then they should've purchased one through squaretrade.
Ok great news for U.S. Incr. S owners. Just got an email from HTC and the phone is coverd by HTC USA for 24 months haha till June 2013. This is great news. Here is the email. Just call HTC and give them your IEMI # and Ser. #

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...peria-ZL-C6506-Android-4-1-W0QQAdIdZ450436593
legit or not?
Although I believe it isn't legit since I used google goggles on the images the ad provides and all images came from blogs so no actual picture of the device to be sold. But just posting it here thought someone from canada might thoroughly confirm it with the seller since the seller is only accepting meet ups for payment.
I HIGHLY recommend this site for all US users who want to get the Xperia Z. Its a company called handtec based in the UK and all their delivery is made over night. I bought my note 2, One X and S3 from them.

Just choose which color you want and click on the link. Its 433 pounds so around 690 US$. We don't have to pay for the vat ( value added tax).

Hey there,
I want to understand the process of claiming the warranty of a US HTC One outside of the US. Perhaps, someone has done it? I'm from India and will be going to Canada soon. I faintly remember something about paying $15 and being able to claim the warranty. The camera issue is forcing me to consider this as the only option!
For what it's worth, I called up the HTC people in India and they're saying that they won't honour the warranty; but I think if I can get an email from HTC USA asking them to honour my claim they'll cave.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
From what I understand, buying any sort of device from another country will generally mean you will not have a warranty unless the product provides an international warranty, otherwise, i believe that international laws may prevent you from using a warranty from your current country.
For what it is worth you could contact the HTC people in the USA and attempt to see what they say. I guess it would be fair for them to replace it for you, but I'm not completely sure about the international laws relating to the subject.
Overall, just try to contact the HTC people in the USA and see what they say. Chances are, their say will be final.
Good Luck

Thanks for your reply! That's what I did. I'm waiting to hear back from them. Let's hope they agree!
Greetings!
I couldn't wait for the C6906 and I was too impatient, so I ordered a C6903 which should fill all my T-mobile needs anyhow. I don't know why I didn't even think of this, but will I have a warranty on this? I ordered it from Hong Kong (I believe) and I am in the United States. The seller says they offer a one year warranty, but what about Sony? I highly doubt any electronics reseller would be able to repair anything intricate on a device like this, so am I out of luck on Sony's warranty? I tried looking up their international warranty and the closest I could find was another forum post stating that the device has to be sent back to Hong Kong if it needs repair.
I haven't even gotten the phone yet, so I don't want to plan for the worst per se, but I am concerned nonetheless. Do any of you have experience buying these "imported" versions with Sony?
Thanks so much!

Yeah I saw that, but I think it's the HSPA+ model (C6902) which makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. I got excited when I saw the preorder today and was hoping it was the C6906, but no dice. I now worry that it will be the same as the Z - the LTE version will be a T-mobile exclusive in the US. That's fine because I have T-mobile, but I always prefer an unbranded non-carrier phone of course
Anyway, thanks! I think I'll send an email to Sony to ask about the warranty.

Hey this may be a solution: get insurance on the phone.
Here in the UK phone insurance is cheapest through your bank, in my case Amex is insuring all my portable electronics for a modest sum.
If it breaks it's covered - so no need to worry about the warranty.
Be sure to check the fine print of your policy or even call the company to ask if you'd be covered.
If you have an expensive phone like this insurance is a good bet anyway...

That's a great idea, actually. Here in the States, the big one is "Square Trade" I think. I used PayPal to buy the phone - should have used my Amex!

Wel im surprised, I ordered mine from Amazon instead and they give me til november to return it If i dont like it, with 0 penalties like 20% restocking fee from gsmnation, so far the best deal I got, since shipping for 1 day since I got prime cost me 3.99, cant beat that for 1 day shipping. Im impressed so far, the only issue is with of course spotty network, since in the US I get LTE in some areas, yet not as fast as any LTE phones I had before.
I emailed Sony asking if i had warranty if i buy a phone from ebay from an international seller and this is the response I got back...
Dear
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia™ Online Support.
We apologize for the delay of our response. In regards to your inquiry, you have a 1 year warranty, however, please keep in mind that any impact or water damage as well as software alteration may void the 1 year repair warranty of your phone, the time frame for the repair is about 14 business days for US and Canadian models and indefinite time for international models, and in case the phone is out of warranty there is a cost.
As part of Sony Mobile's commitment to excellent customer service, we offer a wide variety of mobile products to suit your lifestyle. If you require more information, or have any other questions, please visit [sony website] or call us at 1-866-766-9374.

So much for the waterproof warranty. They wrote you a very slick e-mail. They didn't even write what the z1 user manual says - "... if water is detected behind the flaps ... the warranty is voided ... "

raghav kapur is spot on. I have got 'like new' gsm phones from ebay and swappa ; sim unlocked them either via software or buying a 3 dollar unlocking service from ebay (there are many of them), and using it in India. I have no experience wiith CDMA phones.
Remember, official warranties never get transferred the moment you buy a pre owned phone. [ymmv as sometimes the US store associates help you out]
I will not recommend signing a US contract and terminating it. If you are not aware of how your credit rating is related to SSN and how it stays on your profile for long long time, please research about this. Credit profiles in US are little tighter compared to credit profiles in India. Further , warranty of US phones is not honored outside US.
Although pricier option, getting a factory unlocked phone 'MAY' give you global warranty and you can get service from India outlets too. Please double check before buying.

Actually Verizon will work. Ever since the HTC Rezound (Sensation XE clone for Verizon) all HTC phones made for Verizon are SIM unlocked and global ready. They have both GSM and CDMA radio radios in them. Albeit, the GSM radio only supports global frequencies so you have to be sure your carrier uses the same freq.
"Verizon: 800/1900MHZ, UMTS/HSPA 900/2100MHz,GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz, LTE 700MHz (Band 13)"
from HTC's site on what the Verizon branded HTC one will support. Please understand what you are telling people before you say it will not work.

Facebook problem in HTC One M7
Hi,
Facebook app not working on HTC ONE unlocked CDMA phone. Facebook lite is working. Facebook website homepage also not opening on any browser. Phone is under eBay returns guaranteed. Any solution to this?
I'm having a difficult time finding a new-in-box unlocked XT1103 phone. I've had to send back 2 from Amazon.com because it stated it was new, but clearly it is not.
I'm trying to find the US version so that I can use Project Fi with it...
It seems trying to get a Nexus 6 at this point is a 'buyer beware' experience, as I can't seem to find an honest seller that has a new, unlocked phone or clearly states in their description what it is (ex... description shows XT1103, but picture of box shows XT1100)
Any suggestions? Thanks!
There are ones on eBay that claim to be new for $185 and "sealed box" for $199. I actually got mine on eBay a year ago and it was sealed box and have had no issues.

Then there are those that state XT1103 in the product title, but then claim in the description that they do NOT work on CDMA carriers (which is not correct in my understanding that XT1103 DOES work with ALL U.S. based cell service carriers).
@exiphone: Go to Swappa, XDA Developers' official marketplace. Nexus 6 devices there won't be new in box but the sellers there are trustworthy. They have to be in order to sell on Swappa, as Swappa's sale requirements are rather strict compared to the caveat emptor environment of Ebay.
P. S. Your understanding is correct. The XT1103 will work on all carriers. However Sprint is extremely reluctant to add phones to its network that were not bought through them.
I don't know about "new" but I got one that was "like new". I paid $180 for a 64GB Nexus 6. Also if you're a Costco member they had some Verizon Branded 32GB Nexus 6s that were brand new online. I thought they were too expensive (can't remember how much) but they were new.

What exactly does 'Verizon' branded mean? Does the back case just have their logo and startup splash screen instead of AT&T logo? or is there some Verizon bloatware that comes on it?
AT&T were the only carrier to brand their Nexus 6 devices on the back. Any bloatware from the carrier is added during device setup if a carrier SIm is inserted and is easily uninstalled.

Good for you. But tell that to the others who tried and had to jump through hoops to get Sprint to do their job. Keep in mind, "reluctant" does not mean "willing".
P. S. I don't have Sprint as their service is crap. You couldn't pay me to use them either, unless we were back in the late 1990s.
