Htc amaze made in china - HTC Amaze 4G

Hi brothers at xda,
I've got a htc amaze with android 2.3.4. Was checking the phone and found that its made in china. The phone is from tmobile. Someone please guide whether htc amaze from tmobile made in china is original or not? Also wanted to know if htc amaze and htc amaze 4g are two different phones?

The Ruby was manufactured in China by HTC for T-Mobile USA, who markets it as the Amaze or the Amaze 4G (just one device, sometimes the 4G appellation is ignored.)

HTC is a Taiwanese company, of course it's made in China. Taiwan is part of China according to China and most of the world, but not America. Just because it's made in China doesn't mean it's not real, it's a great quality phone.

Well actually the Asian Amazes need S-Off since the firmware is different. So saying the difference is only Carriers is a bit inaccurate.

yes, but I found that when I had my HD2's the ones made in Taiwan were much more reliable than the ones made in China.

In general I found the same as you stated. But electronics made in China have indeed improved a lot than a few years ago. I still prefer Japan > Korea=Taiwan > China if given a choice, though.
Actually that was my dilemma when I had to choose between Amaze and One S. The T-Mobile One S was made in Taiwan with S4(much better CPU) while the Amaze(all made in China) has a better front camera, SD card, removable battery, and a supposedly better display(if you prefer LCD over AMOLED, this is subjective, though...) but a power hungry and slower S3... I've had the Amaze for 14 months but not sure if I made the right decision or not...
In summary, yes. HTC Amaze is made in China like most of the cell phones today. Even Samsung switched from made in Korea (Behold 2) to made in China. (TMO versions of S3 and S4)
UPDATE: I found my current HTC Amaze is made in Taiwan. What happened was that my original Amaze had a problem with dusts in the front camera. It was so bad that the image from the video camera gets quite fuzzy. Since it was still under warranty, I sent it to HTC service center for repair (cost me $10 via USPS). HTC support told me that would repair but not replace my phone. But in fact they replaced it with a new phone made in Taiwan. I only found out when my unlock code failed to work and then I saw in the back the phone is now made in Taiwan with different a serial number and IMEI.

Evo 3d GSM version?

So will there be after all a gsm version i know that htc said it wont but then on gsm arena they said tha htc france officialy anouced the gsm version so any news on that, i myself have a hd2 and love the bulid quality, support by hackers (like the DFT and etc) camera, and etc,only thing i hate is the speaker but its not a big problem this phone was great and now its getting old and for my next phone i wanted a htc and the evo 3d is perfect for me but i must know wich im going to by if evo 3d will not be availible and the subbstition for the evo 3d is sammy Galaxy s2
Yes, Evo 3D GSM version even if they don't have GSM version i'll get HTC Pyramid. But so far it's a go for GSM version.

i Hate the pyramid dont know why but i rather get a sammy GS2 then pyramid i realy hope there will be a GSM version
Sure it's a few days old, but Android Central contacted htc about their website and was told there is no gsm version and will be correcting the site soon...

Dude as I said couple of posts ago, nothing is for sure as HTC France confirmed the gsm version. And if you think a little more, the Incredible was US only but now available in gsm as Incredible S... So wait and see, tomorrow HTC has a pressevent in London, maybe somr info will find it way to the light..

Well only the HTC Sensation (Pyramid) was announced today for release in May. It will be on various networks in Europe and Asia and on T-Mobile in the USA.
I guess this means that we shouldn't expect to see a GSM version of the EVO 3D until September/October like with the original EVO 4G and the Desire HD.
thats said.
looks like then i'll have to go with the sgs 2

I'm not waiting that long. I'll be getting a phone in May or June although I'd rather get one now.
The GSS2 is an option for me and if it had a notification LED and four buttons instead of three it would be the one for sure.
As it is I'll be waiting to see which one is locked down. If the Sensation is locked down like the HTC Incredible then I will look again at the SGS2 and the LG Optimus 3D and the LG Optimus 2X. So far they don't even have root on the Incredible S and developer support seems to be flagging.
Evo 3D gsm = fail. I even put money aside for this thing! Down here we have no CDMA network so my N1 stays put.
SGS2 not a big enough step up for me. I actually feel sad........for a phone

Carrier unlock?

Hi there, does anyone know if it's possible to unlock this phone yet? Since the phone is so new, I have absolutely no idea if these codes being sold through eBay will work.

They prob will. Just make sure you pay via paypal. Then if anything goes wrong, you have some comeback.

I bought mine through O2 and oddly enough, it was unlocked so I didn't have to get a code. Before I realised it was unlocked though I did try 2 sites for a code, neither had it.
My current HTC Sensation was purchased first day it was released and I had to wait 2 weeks for the codes to become available. I would guess this would be similar.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
I do unlock phones for a price. I can run a check with your IMEI number and tell you if it can be unlocked or not and how much it'll cost. Shoot me a PM if you want me to check your IMEI number. I'm a dev and not some shady guy lol
I did try to buy one off eBay but the guy said the phone is on no system at the minute and refunded me. I'm just using a giffgaff sim now which suits me as I was considering paying off my contract early anyway. I'll probably try again in a month.

Telus One X+ Where can I buy?

Looking to buy a Telus One X+ for shipping to the US so that I can get it unlocked and use on AT&Ts network. It doesn't appear that Telus will let me purchase and ship to the US.
I've looked at Negri and Expansys but neither have the Telus version it seems.
Are there other places that folks can point me to for this?
Thanks!

I'm wondering the same thing. I think probably we'll have to wait for them to show up on eBay. I'm guessing maybe after Christmas people will have phones that they don't want for some reason. It also looks like in the past Negri Electronics sold the Rogers version of the One X (for a very high price), so perhaps the One X+ will show up there at some point.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't just buy the AT&T version?!? They're basically the same device. Unless you don't like the (ugly) globe at the top of the AT&T version

Yeah, that basically it. I don't like the carrier branding. I guess I'm just particular that way.
And I don't mind waiting a month or two, until they show up on eBay. The price will probably come down some. And hopefully by then there will be a version of Cyanogen available, so I don't have to spend one minute with Sense (yuck). Also in the mean time, I may still decide to get a Nexus 4. I'm still in a wait and see mode, to see how people's experiences with the glass back go.
Although I've checked out both phones in the store and, for me, the One X+ feels much better in the hand as well as seeming more high quality. (There's also the extra storage in the One X+, the capacitive buttons, a better camera, and a little bit better of a screen--all features I like.)

hi i was wondering if you know why my htc one x plus shows as evare_ul on my computer model number and phone name this is a telus phone unlocked and on the bell network.
thanks,
I think all phones have an internal code name used by the company that designed it. I believe they use this name during the design process, before they've figured out the commercial name they'll use for marketing purposes. I'm guessing EVARE_UL is HTC's code name for the AT&T/Telus version of the One X+. Probably when you plug your phone into your computer at some low (file structure?) level the phone identifies itself to the computer by this name.

Slithered from my HTC One X+ running Viper XL+
According to GLBenchmark the code name for the LTE version (AT&T/Telus) of the HTC One X+ is evitareul, which Pocket Now suggests is probably supposed to be read as Evitare UL.

I think one can imagine how in the file system evitareul or Evitare UL might get abbreviated to evare_ul as in dweenz initial post about this.
I'm guess the L in "UL" stands for LTE. Don't know about the U.

Why are we seperating the One forums?

Is there a significant software difference or what?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
The software and hardware is 100% identical except for different radios. Which I think is the reason for the separation.
I think you misunderstood .. They normally separate the forums when there is a significant hardware difference and flashing wrong versions rom could brick your device. AT&T one x and international one x is a great example. AT&T was Qualcomm and international was Tegra. Tegra roms brick Qualcomm phones... Separate forums needed!
I think they just jumped the gun on this split...probably combine them once everything is verified interchangeable. At lleast I would hope they would.
Agree. Best to keep them separate for now, but it looks like they can be combined due to the same models. Best to be sure tho.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
They should combine the HTC One forums. Hardware is totally 100% identical even for the radios chips. Except of the Asian version which they didn't even seperate at all. There are alot of other phones on the request thread that deserves a spot than this bloated AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint & International version of HTC One forums which is not even necessary at all. This would just reduce the chances of questions from other users being answered.
I believe this is the same hardware and when ever yall get s-off and supercid then they should combine the forums.
This is kinda like mt tmobile htc sensaton. Witch in that point with super cid all htc sensations were the same. And we didnt had to worry about flashing another sensation rom from international. but the thread is only one thread for all htc sensation in the world. There is no tmobile,canadan's,international or the one with beats they all were the same

[Q] how much usable space on 32gb version of HOX+ ?

hello everyone,
I would like to know,how much usable space is there in 32gb variant? I read many threads but no one has mentioned anything about 32gb HOX + . Then I started reading HOX threads & there I found out, 26gb is usable out of 32gb. so is the same with HOX+ ?
and is there any other major difference apart from internal memory in these 2 variants?
thanks in advance.
sorry if this is wrong place to ask,but don't know where to ask

Yupp you get 25.5 gb approximately. But as someone else said, never heard about a 32 gb HOX ± the original Htc one x has 32 gn versions not HOX ±

I think this device is ATT device in the US -- look at the description on the bottom of the ebay link --
it says this

HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T

ur correct its locked n imported device. but the seller is going to unlock n then will send to buyers. all online devices here in India will be imported as regional stock is over long ago, also the price is very less.

Always check the official HTC site before buying a product. The official HTC site says that one x+ is only available in 64gb

As others mentioned I suspect it's the one x and he is trying to sell it as the one x+ as it's usually hard to spot the difference when you hold it.
Edit: I did a Google search and people claim to find 32gb variants of the phone , and there are reviews about it. Which is really weird.

You'll get the update when it's released. Location has no impact on updates only CID.
If the seller misrepresented the product, open a paypal dispute. Even if your happy with the device. I'd do it out of principal.

It's true to a certain extent. Yes you can flash any RUU intended for your device with SuperCid.
But you can't flash an international roms on a AT&T HOX+.
This is because the 2 devices have diffrent radio hardware..
