Locked to network devices?

[Danny133]

I want to buy a One X on eBay.

Im on Orange but if I buy a locked device and have it unlocked will it display the networks logo on the start up splash screen?

Ive seen loads of T mobile phones going cheap but if they show t mobile on start up I don't want one.

If they're unlocked they shouldn't show the startup logo.

Don't hold me to that though, that's just my past experience.

I mean if I buy a locked one and unlock it myself at my own cost ..

 

[Craigus]

why wouldn't you buy one because it shows the wrong logo?

I haven't seen any of the high end HTC phones with any logos on start up. Just the usual HTC design one.

If it does though it is easily sorted.

I didn't think phones still did that.

It all depends of if the original carrier applied a customised ROM or not.

Orange used to be buggers for it back when I was using windows mobile phones (c500 etc)

Easily sorted with a stock HTC ROM. XDA developers is you friend

Do you actually ever turn your phone off though?? Mine is on constantly. The only time i've turned my phone off is when i've had to reset it.

My HTC Sensation has now got an O2 splash screen on boot after the ICS update, previously there was nothing

Even if you unlock the phone it would still be there, you need to change the software to debrand

However as someone else has already mentioned, unless you turn your phone off every night is the wrong logo really an issue, mine is always on so it wouldn't bother me
