[Q] Titan Antenna Problems

[francalero]

Hi every body.

i am interested to buy a Titan (new and unlocked) in China the model name is X310e is the 3G (No 4G) i have read about the problems with the call and the HTC say is the antenna problem.

i read this problem is only for the American Version but i dont know if they are talking about the TITAN II.

I am really interested in this smartphone, can someone tell me is this problem with the antenna is in all titans model or only in the American Model.

tank you and have a nice day.

All Titans in general will have the antenna issue due to the phones schematics on how the antenna was designed. Since the whole casing shell acts as the antenna, it uses conducting points, which over time can get loose and weaken the signal. Another fact is that sometimes, even just holding the phone itself can reduce signal because your hand acts as a barrier between the signal and the antenna. I live in an area with plenty of signal, other phones get around 4-5 bars (Nokia Lumia 800, Samsung Omnia W, HTC Trophy), but my Titan gets barely like 0-1, 2 if I'm lucky. This also raises the problem of calls being dropped (and calls being muffled/quiet is another problem of the Titan). I love my Titan, but despite these issues, I can live for another 4 or 5 months until they release the 2nd gen WP8 devices.

Thank you for the information.

It means is a serious antenna issue then, the Titan is almost the half price than two weeks ago.
But this make me think more about if buy or not.

I want to buy the HTC 8S, but i lost my phone (Nokia N9) a few days ago and the 8S is no in China yet, i found the Titan is very good option and has a good price also.

Then it depends if you want to get it. It's a great phone but all these faults isn't making the phone any nicer. It's not also a developers point, unlike its predecessors HD7 and HD2 which are quite popular for making custom Roms. I heard china is getting a Lumia 920 soon on contract for free, I'm not sure on which network tho but that, I can recommend getting.

I want to buy a Windows phone to start to develop WP7 apps and WP8 also, i am begineer in mobile development but i want to start to do it and get some money.
BUt i need to use the phone every day, i dont make too much calls only messages and whatsapp.

the Lumia 920 is a great option, but is too expensive for me and with plans are free but the expensive plan for 2 years, i never use a mobile for more than 1 year, i always brake or sale it (i always be boring usin the same mobile every day)
