I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though
A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.

thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..
edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

this is what im looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LCD-DIS...930?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c7451912 you don't think this would be real? it also has 30 days money back so if it isn't the real deal..
Don't do it, go for a proper second hand device a fully working one, better to have the original screen as it's a lovely screen.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.
It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

hahah, I didn't mean "here" as in the XDA community. im talking about my state. or the majority of people in general I guess
my Nokia n9 is smoother than my Amaze I had before it. I just cant do without the apps D:
Hey guys,
Is the date already published for the release of the find 7 (premium version) ?
I mean the 7a is already available so it should not take so much more time.
Any news or website which is up to date and can inform me directly in the case of release
Thx
I think I read late April, but I can't remember where I saw it!

Ok. Thanks.
But isn't it a little bit strange that there are no information about a release ?!
I mean if you are right and it will be released at the end of this month there should be anything official or not ?
They keep it secret because they want to sell some 7a's first I guess. If you ask me I don't even know why they made a Find 7a in the first place.

I think the QHD screen still needs some tuning/calibration work from various rumors I've heard.
The 7 doesn't have enough extra CPU power/battery to drive the extra resolution without performance/battery life compromises anyway, so it's going to be for the "spec epeeners" - the 7a will be a superior day-to-day device.
The 7's screen will require almost 2x the memory bandwidth and GPU power to drive its display compared to the 7a.
@Entropy512 Thanks now I am convinced that I made the right decision to order the 7a and not wait for the 7.

while what you said is true, I'm still having some difficulties accepting that since even the weakest integrated graphics from 2010 desktop PC can manage to handle daily PC operation even with UHD displays, I don't play heavy games on my phone, so is it absolutely true that the 801 will struggle with QHD display even just for average phone usage???
battery life is another matter though, true.
It's twice the pixels but not power since each one uses significantly less. Still it's going to be more, xactly how much more power won't be known into they can be compared. The screen isn't the only thing pulling more power, the extra ram will be a user as well. I would be looking to the a for sure if I was a 3d gamer but I'm not. I'm taking a wait and see approach.
While the extra resolution may be worthless to some it is not useless. It allows you to blow up the screen more. When you whipper snappers get older you will appreciate that more than you do now.
I thought so too. Thats the reason why I have pre-ordered a find 7a today
And like it seems many guys in different popular forum are doing it like this.
I mean the 3gb of RAM would be nice, but like everyone say it is not needed. Also the 32gb internal storage, because you have a sd-slot.
A further thing is that the bigger battery also fits in the 7a (epic)
And if the 7 is published I am going to buy the backside, which hides the battery, because I like the carbon or carbon-style of it
The only thing which is worth to think twice is for me the fact that my HTC One M7 has a PPI of 461 and the 7a has a lower ppi (401) with the same resolution :/
Any opinions/ recommendation ?
Quick question... for those of you that preordered...did u get charged right away or will u be charged when it ships??? I'm ready to pre order this but wanting to know if I'll be charged now or later...

What do u exactly mean with "charged" ?
That you have to pay tax or that the money will transfered of your bank account ?
I have payed with paypal and I received a message that its transfered immediatly
But I am not worrieing....its Paypal so I am able to get my money back
I guess u just answered my question... I meant as in the money being taken out of my account.... I'll be paying through PayPal as well so at least I know it's gonna be withdrawn immediately.... thanks for the input...

Life is always trade-offs. I was used to carry an extra higher capacity battery for the Note 3. On my current HTC One (M8), it is hard to believe how much better it manages battery, even not using the stock power saving settings. (not missing that extra battery when on travel.
As to the shipping date Oppo responded to an email stating that it would likely be at least early June before product shipped. Since the screen supplier just now has started production of the screens we know those are not in hand yet implying April is certainly out. Oppo has their own forum where there is a little more information available than here for the moment, some of you might be interested in taking a gander. http://www.oppoforums.com/forums/find-7-product-discussion.111/
Oppo Find 7a - end of April/early May

Is there tax? I live in Canada so I am wondering how does the tax work for that product.
Do you think there will be import charges?

I preordered by oppo style europe. They are in the UK so in this case I Do not have to Pay tax. But if you are ordering directly from China you have to Pay.

You pay tax if you order in the EU. It's just included in the price already.

Hi
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and I am considering the upgrade to the G4.
Could you please give me your honest opinion if this the right upgrade or do I go for the Z3+? Or oneplus one?
Thanks
Best regards

Please check the OnePlus One forum on XDA and their website. People here and there have so much info on what is wrong with the device and also the company, and the support they are willing to provide.

Lol, the people I know using 1+1 are praising it so much it's ridiculous. I got the G4 and immediately they told me their 1+ is as good as the G4 for less money but we all know what the situation really is.
And for the OP, I came from the Z1 to the G4. The Z1 and G4 can't even be compared, G4 is far more superior than the Z1. My speaker mesh on the Z1 fell off, a hatch fell off, my mic quit working, the AUX quit working and the phone lagged all day every day...
if camera is your priority, then definitely yes.
if you want a premium looking phone, this isn't really one though you can still try the leather version which looks gorgeous. The non-leather version is as plastic as you can get among all the flagship phones now, and I don't like it.
Even though the plastic back is available i believe most people go for the leather back. If not i still feel as it is a high end phone.

I was wondering if there was a way you could check the unit if it has RK3188 or RK3066, as there are different places selling different version of these Joying Unit. Also how about the resolution since there is 2 type is there a way to find out what resolution the unit is.
You can check the specs before you buy the unit, as everyone does, right?

Great advice , but I have seen a lot of people getting the wrong unit from sellers so just wanted to double check after I get one...

This and some of the unit models are named very similar.
Well, sorry if i seemed not friendly. You should check first of all where to buy, then, check if the seller has good ratings, reviews, etc. Then just double check you can choose between the different specs to the one u want, and ask the seller before buying it just in case. I got mine through aliexpress and didnt have a problem at all. Well, ive bought like 100 times there and never had an issue. Hope this helps a bit more.

I'm looking at getting a system right now that is specifically built my car, Erisin says they have a 5.1 system available now, they seem to have a pretty good rep, so I am interested. Reading here, it seems people are saying 5.1 won't be out till the octa cores are released, so that makes me pause as this is a quad core
hi guys, I know this is a general questions but does anyone have any place where I can make sure I get a MTCD unit somewhere?
do we know which stores/brands to look for or is it all just a guessing game?
Find on the web unit that you like and ask seller for details. Stress in the communication with seller that you will not accept any other MCU. Tell them you want MTCD/ MTCE

No I can't.
Android AutoShop seems to be endorsed by Hal9k.
When checking sellers look at their rating. Less than 99% positive feedback is no good. Except AliExpress. There are no sellers with 99% positive feedback. At least I have not seen one.
