Posted on 24/06/2013 by Samir Azzemou

At a meeting of its shareholders, Peter Chou, HTC’s boss, unveiled its medium-term ambitions: to acquire 10% to 15% of the global smartphone market, against 4% currently. But the Taiwanese manufacturer is really capable of achieving this goal?

Everybody agrees to say HTC has lost its luster since the time of Desire. The One, one of the best mobile of the moment symbolizes the revival in the Taiwanese manufacturer, but only one mobile is obviously not enough, especially against the Korean ogre, Samsung. However, the encouraging results of One bring good growth forecast for HTC. At a meeting of its shareholders, the events reported by the publication Focus Taiwan , his boss Peter Chou has given its medium-term objective: between 10% and 15% of global market share of the smartphone . That is ambitious.

But is it too ambitious for the HTC today? In 2012, Taiwan 4% of market share. Exceed 10% would have a symbolic value because it is the market share of HTC when the company was at its top (with peaks up to 30% in some markets). HTC but never was able to reach 15%. And this is not the Facebook Home mishap that will participate.

Peter Chou says that this is however not a strategy based only on products but also on the recognition of its brand and the alliances he will sign with the operators, particularly in the U.S.. With the One, HTC for the first time in its convinced the four major U.S. operators (Verizon, AT & T, T-Mobile and Sprint) history. Still without flagship impossible to do marketing and business partnerships. Remains to be seen what will happen HTC to achieve its purposes.

So, I have a HTC Titan purchased in May 2012 on Pixmania and delivered by Expansys. This is a phone that I appreciate for its large screen.
Past few weeks the phone shows signs of weakness, the screen darkens and then slowly revives.
Recently the phone becomes downright unusable by acting as a wireless TV set incorrectly: display that flickers, fragmented image that migrates vertically screen turns off and back on, then off really …

1st contact with HTC (08 05 54 24 82): The telephone advisor told me it may be an incompatibility with an application. He asks to uninstall applications, one after another, until you identify which is criminalized. Reset the device as a last resort

Me:. Immediately I reset the unit with the volume buttons. The problem is not solved

2nd contact with HTC:. The telephone advisor tells me that this is a known fault and asked me to return the unit via the walking

Me: no link back to the Pixmania website or on that of Expansys. So I write to Expansys (info@expansys.com) which establishes the invoice when purchasing: no response

2nd contact Expansys (04 11 92 01 40): Your phone has more one year, you have to contact HTC

HTC 3rd contact:. Expansys sold you a phone with a Dutch IMEI (country ). This is an unacceptable practice according to them and making the impossible return from France. Ask Expansys to contact us

3rd contact Epansys:. Refusal to contact HTC accused usually have this unacceptable behavior. The téléconseillère offers me to contact a repair at my expense:

That’s where I am. Meanwhile I had to buy a HTC8X on Rue du Commerce and delivered by Expansys, if I knew …
In my various discussions, I also learned that the commercial ties between HTC and Expansys are very strong because it is Expansys which manages Europe HTC stocks, however they do not trust to the service.

It only remains for me the DGCCRF.
