My wonderful THL W8+ has bit the dust exactly 12 months after buying it.
I'm so sad. I had it just how I wanted it. Rooted, running GravityMod2. Apex launcher and paired to my Sony Smartwatch2. It was perfect.
Just in case anyone is curious, the phone actually works but the screen is blank. The back light comes on and the screen responds to touches. I can even still use it if I make calls from my watch. I've tried everything software related, so its obviously hardware. I'm not going to attempt a hardware repair.
Disappointed as I am that the phone died after such a short time, I'm not going to be put off China phones. My phone was so cheap and was the envy of many of my friends who had phones costing twice as much.
I'm probably going to buy a THL T200C or a Zopo ZP990+. I don't know yet. I'm still doing my research.
Anyway. I know I don't come on here very often, but I will post when I get my new phone to report in how I'm finding it.
Thanks everyone. This was my first port of call for seeing what's out there.
