can learn any IR remote provided u have the original remote unit. but for air con not so convenient cos u cant see the temperature, so not so nice.

i would said the QX10/qx100 and DSLR is in a different category to compare.

QX10/100 provide the convenient that DSLR cant do. small size, easy to carry around(but QX 100 is not quite small also), direct upload photo thru smart phone.

DSLR more to quality photos, more lens options.(but now DSLR start to have wifi function that can upload to smart phone.

like me, owning a DSLR, still like something small and portable, cos you not going to bring your DSLR with you all the time.

warranty not void unless the defect is deem as cause by the unlocking bootloader(root, custom rom/kernels) if any.

change the language to english(singapore) then u will have google now.

my thoughts :

for those who send in for repair, they maybe change the camera module, or adjusted the software gain some temp software tweak. that y some after repair ok, but some after repair still have same problem(or problem reoccur after some times.

so not conclusion software or hard ware. everything will be clear when there release the patch.

becos we are banglasia~~~everything not support....

let me do a summary,

-when you request unlock code from HTCDEV.com, HTC already have the record that you requested for unlock code.
-but this doesnt mean HTC know whether you use the unlock code or not.
-If u use the unlock code, the status will be "unlocked" in bootloader. even if you lock back the bootloader, the status become "relocked", so HTC will know you unlock bootloader once they see this status.

-if you use S-off method, you no need to reqeust unlock code from HTC, you can unlock, lock, change the status of relock to locked. HTC will not able to trace whether you unlock boot loader.

-in the HTCDEV.com, stated that "It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty",from this statement, unlocking bootloader doesnt voids warranty, if only the defect is deem to be cause by unloacking bootloader, then the warranty will not cover. example, let said a physical button spoilt and it had nothing to do with unlocking bootloader, the warranty still cover.
-from another forum, a user with rooted HTC one succesfully claim warranty for a defect LCD(dead line).


but how HTC determine whether a defect is cause by unlock bootloader, i dun know.

of cos they will try to denied all warranty claim. sure u need to put some effort to talk and nego, is our right.

btw, S-off and unlock bootloader is different, S-off is not authorised by HTC, while unlock bootloader through HTCDEV is a official acknowledge procss from HTC. so S-off confirm no warranty.

yup, one also can S-off and S-on back for hboot 1.44, but not on the newer Hboot 1.54.

i truly agreed this is very poor customer service. i am not sure is HTC it self or brightstar/Sis issue in Msia, because i deal before with Spore HTC, the service is quite good, they even offer to pickup ur phone(in spore area)for any service required if you make arrangement with them.

i have experience with brightstar for a motorola phone, 2nd day already LCD have dead line, request exchange 1 to 1 at counter not success, but after i complain to Motorola and brightstar headquarters, after 2 weeks finally they give me a new unit.
