Help why I hate the U11/please help

Because HTC favors their apps over Google's for their international phones like the one m9+ SC edition, and the m10. I think it has to do with Google apps in China.

Actually it has absolutely nothing to do with Google in China. While HTCs sold in mainland China, where I am, do NOT have Google Play and other Google services. HTCs sold in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. do, and will have exactly the same Google apps as the US versions, like Google Photos, Gboard, etc. same with Samsung, Moto, Sony, LG, Huawei, ZTE, etc.

Collectively they're known as GMS(Google Mobile Services) and Google states that devices approved and registered for GMS must have, like Google Photos, Gboard, etc. And only notable exceptions really are Android devices in mainland China, and Amazon Fire OS devices.

The HTC u11 128gb will not be released in Europe or the US therefor, it cannot be a domestic phone for you.

The United States version HTC U11 is definitely "international" for me, as are European versions.

I enjoyed the HTC apps like gallery, scribble, editor, streaming video player app (to watch live streaming content online websites or device), HTC sense keyboard and so on.

Hey, do you know if that website delivers to the US? If not, that's all right, I will see if eBay or Amazon will sell it.

I called Amazon and they are sending me a new one Wednesday. Hopefully that one won't have problems. I was going to originally ask for a refund and buy the 128gb from eBay, but the seller will not answer if the phone will be new and sealed and also an authentic HTC product.

Is your MicroSD card from eBay, Amazon, or some other 3rd party retailer? You may have discovered that you have a counterfeit or fake MicroSD card.

If you are getting a replacement phone, DO NOT install your MicroSD card into it. Do not even sync your Google account up to it until you have used it for a while and proven that it is a fully functional device and that is not crashing on you. Once you have soak tested it for a day or two and figured out that it is working perfectly fine without crashing then start installing applications and adding accessories to it slowly. If you do this slowly and carefully you should be able to discover where the hangup is starting.
