Hi Guys,
Looking for a quick answer here.
Im on holidays in Japan and can purchase the Nexus 7 (WiFi only) Tablet for a good price. I will be taking it back with me to AUS.
Will i have any issues with this tablet back in AUS with regards to updates or anything like that? Can i just install the base AUS image and have it 100% English and not just have the language in english?
My main concern is not the software on it but will i have any issues with the hardware when using back in AU or issues with slower/no software updates?
Thank you

The nexus 7 has international warranty. And I believe there is only 1 variant of Nexus 7 wifi around with some single worldwide software. Even if there is a difference in software (which I doubt), you can easily flash the fastboot images off Google's site.
I'm saying this as I bought my Nexus 7 3G from Malaysia and unlike my Galaxy Nexus which has regional variants which prevents OTA, on the N7 I'm running 4.2.2 which I received via ota.
A valid concern would be the charger adapter, it probably won't plug in Australian power outlets. But you can buy that easily once you're home.

Hi Mate,
thank you very much for the reply back. This has helped me make my decision to purchase the unit over here.
I will check out those images from Google as itd like to make it the same as my country.
Appreciate the reply back.

Just to let you know I did the same thing myself in January! Where'd you end up getting yours from? I went Bic Camera. That's also good news about the international warranty. I was willing to risk it at the time but shouldn't need to worry now.
I'm also using the charger that came with it. You just need a JPN to AUS adapter. You can pick those up for something like 160 yen if memory serves me correctly.
Yup Bic Camera. Pretty cheap compared to where i could find it back in AU.
International Warranty is a good thing too.
Only issue i had was it didn't software update past 4.2 to either 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. So i manually upgraded it to 4.2.2 yesterday and its all sweet. Hope the OTA will work for next release that Google puts out.
Yeah got an adapter, but what was better is i saw a 4 port adapter for charging 4 usb devices off the one power point. So got one of those with a converter. works well.
Just got my HTC ONE Advocate Device. Ask Me Anything. I will not unlock the bootloader or root the device so please don't ask. Edit: This is my 1st AMA. I will try as hard as I can to answer your questions as fast as possible. I will be online until 7pm CST answering as many as I can within my powers.

If the black one is available at launch, can I take my unopened one as soon as it is delivered and exchange it for a black one?
Oh, and is there any branding at all on the headphones? I keep thinking I see glimpses of something, but am trying to figure out if these are going to be worth using vs going to buy some new klipsh headphones (mine broke two weeks ago)
Will the Htc one support HD voice like the EVO 4g Lte does? Hopefully sprint will deploy that feature soon.

edit: for some reason this thread didn't update me via email which is why i was delyaed. i updated the thread to notify me via email. sorry for the delay on the answers.
I don't understand why the black ones are on back order EVERYWHERE. Not a single place has them, so is it just not being shipped out by HTC, or are they going to come into stock "coincidentally" on the 15th day after the silver one so it can't be exchanged? Ugggg, I just want a stealth black One!
I want to see it first
Sent From My 5WEET ASS EVO LTE!!
Yep and don't try to get a black one by destroying the silver either, they will only replace color for color.
I called my local sprint Monday and was put on the pre order list for a black one. Also called today and they told me that they should be there by noon tomorrow.

If you really pre-ordered the black one and pick it up tomorrow then you're one lucky man. I called up several local sprint stores and none of they have the black one in stock. They have no clue when they will get it.
Whats the likelihood of this phone getting more then one update of android?
I'm currently a evo 3d owner and I've been been eyeing this phone and the GS4.
I'm leaning more towards the s4 as the S2 came out a little after the 3d and is STIll getting upgrades, while
the ICS update for the 3d took forever and has basically been abandoned afterwards. Will this HTC phone suffer the same fate?
I'm not wealthy enough to buy every new phone that comes out and I'd prefer one with lasting power.

The phones are there 30min ago UPS dropped off. I was able to sneak a peak in back and there aren't any black one's. Playbook says variants won't be available yet and are rolling out based on success of silver sales. I was also able to see Speck cases in white and Otterbox commuter, defender in purple and black. Oh screensavers also ( cover full face ).

The thing this phone has going for it that the EVO 3d didn't is uniformity on all carriers. HTC is only releasing one flagship so that will be there only focus on updates and Sprint is usually the first carrier to update there phones stateside. Even thought Samsung obviously has more money to through at these things I have faith in HTC and this beautiful phone.

Hate to break it to you, but if you want guaranteed updates: GET A NEXUS. My EVO LTE is doing just fine on Jelly Bean. My S3 is doing just fine on Jelly Bean. My LGOG is also doing just fine on Jelly Bean.

You are right. Sprint has a great track record and I also hope we stay close to the OEMs and get those updates as soon as they are announced at Google I/O but seriously Jelly Bean FLIES on this device already. You're not going to miss anything. Sense 5 is gorgeous
Hello buddies,
i had ages ago a Xperia X10. Bought than Windows Phone HTC 8X. But the battery drain made me crazy. So the 8X was sold, but still in love with HTC. now im still using my Xperia X10, what a good product.....5 years and still running with the same battery......
So i do some research and i think i want the HTC One, it looks gorgeous, is fair priced and has great specs, beside the cam. BUT im a little bit confused about the finish, read a lot about cuts.....misaligned displays and more.
Would you still buy it again ? Do you think i can also use the One at least 3 to 4 years ?
Please give me advice before buying these beauty
Greetings
go for M8
Hi,
that was not the question and to be clear. Every cam is better than the cam used by my X10 . Its not so important for me, just mentioned that point.
By the way i dont want to spend so much money AND dont want to wait. Just some tips from guys using it all day would be nice.

I would buy again. Mine have no flaws and the cam isn't that bad. Not experienced any issue at all. The most common issue is the camera purp tint. I think newer batch of phones should be fine. I will not say anything about lifespan because at this point its just speculating but the aluminum casing makes the phone seem pretty solid
The assembly of the HTC One is amazing, mine is rock solid and sooo gorgeous, I love it. It should last 3 years easily, the sharpness of the screen is amazing but my camera is horrible, never focuses so I have to use an app with manual focus options in order to snap focused pics. Other than that I love it, but if you really love HTC wait for the M8, it is literally a month down the road. Cheers!

How can you recommand the M8? It'll be at least two months to availability and be twice the current price of the M7.
The HTC One is a great phone and still the phone I would choose if buying a phone today.

Brand new, the m7 is still £400-500. The m8 will just be around the same price.
With regards to the question asked, the HTC One is a great phone. However, since you've waited so long already to get a new phone, I would wait and get the m8. Personally anyways.
I've had my one since just before Christmas. Bought it outright because I don't want to renew my contract when it's up. The phone I had on contract was terrible - acting up really bad; plus contract are far too dear (better value to buy a phone outright and add a giffgaff sim card - if you're in the uk) . I'm confident that the One will last me a good couple years.

Thanks, but in germany you get a new one for around 300-400 Euro. So i will definitely stick with the M7....dont want afford M8
It will probably take longer for vzw versions, but at least we know the order it is being released as well as approximate time.

Google does the update and then sends it to Samsung for testing. IF Samsung decides the update is worthy and fits into their business plan for the life of the phone, they will test the update and correct things that are specific to the S6. IF that is completed then they send the update to Verizon, who in turn, decides if it fits in their business plan and the planned end of life for the product. If Verizon decides to pass it along then they update the code with their specifics and then they release it to the phones.
All of that has to go good before we knaves might see an update.
Unfortunately Android updates and timeline does not fit into the end of life plans for phones by the carriers. That is why we usually only get one or two updates.
Just saw this while searching online tonight.

If you do get a new phone I strongly suggest you get the Nexus 6. A bunch of support and you can unlock the boot loader and get any ROM you want it's awesome. I've been loving mine!

Yeah it's a catch between the nexus 6 and the turbo 2 if I decide to move away. The turbo 2 in terms of hardware is slightly superior, but unfortunately it seems like it's suffering the same fate as my current phone

Not all updates are a positive step forward. If the phone does what it needs to for now, don't be in such a hurry. Wait for others to be the guinea pigs before you jump on board.
Seriously, being an upgrade junkie might be instantly gratifying at the time of downloading but it can also be a painful experience too.
