[HTC Inspire 4G] loganbeaupre:
Okay thanks guys, i'll try em out :)
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
Hi guys

Im looking to get myself a desire hd. Can anyone please share their experiences and whether I should get one?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
I'd recommend one. But, and a slight but, HTC are very near to releasing the HTC Sensation. If I were in your shoes, I'd wait for that.
[Desire HD General] apoorvajsh:
Yes it is an excellent phone.. but as the poster above said the HTC Sensation will be released shortly - even if you don't want that phone (I wouldn't know why you wouldn't other than price) wait for it to come out so DHD becomes cheaper :)
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
Thats the thing I can get the DHD for 200 bucks offline. I wont be able to afford the sensation. Overall how would you guys rate it out of 10?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Around 8.3/10
[Desire HD General] dceightfive:
I love my Desire HD.. personally I would rate it 9/10 :D

Great phone.. battery can be a bit of a let down though depending on how you use your phone, but if you root it and install a custom rom you can easily squeeze more juice out of it (currently getting 2 1/2 days with medium use) and it's not so much of a problem.
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
How easy is it to install a custom rom and how easy is it to brick? sorry for so many questions but I just wanna make sure im making the right choice.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Moderately Easy - 7.7/10

Very Hard - 0.1/10
[Desire HD General] dceightfive:
it's very easy to root and install a custom rom.. check out the guides in the Desire HD Android Development section and you'll find all the info you need in the stickys (sorry can't post a link :()...

as for bricking it is near impossible.. if you read through the guides before you start and try to understand them, then you will have no problem at all, and if you get stuck ask someone here and I'm sure they'd be able to help you out :)
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Simply a great phone. Rooting and installing ROMs is piss easy, at first all the info may be overwhelming but once you understand what to do and do it you will see its difficulty is more like 2/10.

$200 for a DHD is a steal, well here in NZ anyway.

-Bad things-

720p Video Recording can drop fps when recording in low light conditions

Video Recording sound quality is crap (8kHz, mono)

Screen is a normal TFT type LCD (viewing angle could be better)

WiFi signal can be weak if you have your hand over the antenna which is behind the battery cover and a case

Speaker is average

But despite all those bad things this phone still rocks, I won't be upgrading for a long time.
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
Thanks guys im going to get it on tuesday hopefully and I cant wait. Do you guys reckon its a good upgrade from the x10i as I love this phone
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
Guys just another quick question. Is the latest firmware available to root or do I need to be on a certain firmware?
[Desire HD General] festa20:
Check the firmware when get it but if its 1.72 or higher it will need to be downgraded which is really easy I dont have my dhd any more I just got the arc but I wish I didnt get rid of my dhd as I miss it
[Desire HD General] tuckerson:
2 and a half days with medium use? what rom are you using? ha, I want it!
[Desire HD General] tuckerson:
I've used the X10i too, the DHD is so much smoother and the Sense UI is so much better than Sony Ericssons.
[Desire HD General] oldmanofskye:
Really happy with my DHD, except for the speaker. I used to listen to music/podcast through the speaker on my previous mobile (while in the kitchen, at work...), and unfortunately DHD is NOT good enough for that purpose. If you are on custom 2.3.3 rom (no official update from HTC yet), then you can slightly help the matter using Volume+. Other then that, just loving my phone.
[Desire HD General] Eltocliousus:
Got mine a few days ago, loving it!
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Had an x10 before and those things are not even in the same league as the desire hd. The software is just so much better on these phones and battery life is better despite the larger battery of the x10.

Sent from my Gingerbread phone.
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
That is great. You guts are making me even more excited lol. Now just another quick question. Once again I apologise for the amount of queries just like my research before hand. Can someone recommend say the most stable rom available with good battery life? Even though I might just stick to stock and root and optimise it. If obviously there are any optimisations for it such as the ones for the x10. Reason being im scared I will brick the DHD and I heard if you brick any phone its not possible to restore it. Which is what I like about the x10. Ive flashed it so many times.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Cyanogen 7.1 most likely be available when you receive your DHD. And that is a great ROM.

Don't worry about bricking your handset, It's very hard to do unintentionally.
[Desire HD General] naimmkassim:
I love my DHD..especially its unibody and its ui even in stock rom!!.. I have dual cpu LGO2X, but i even more love my DHD, its can not beat DHD ui and unibody..LGO2X have horrible ui and its using cheap plastic!! Look very cheap phone to me..now my LG O2X is lying alone inside my cabinet..haha..anyway, im also waiting for htc sensation..it might turn even good than DHD..as long its unibody and its 3.0 sense is awesome!!..lol..
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
Lol I wanted to get the Sensation but cant afford it same with the xperia arc. But I noticed I couldnt see the memory card slot is. I noticed where the battery goes though
[Desire HD General] angiotell:
HTC Sensation... mmm

I love it

and wait

I love also my rooted Desire HD

very very nice cell
[Desire HD General] Nubzori:
You should, its an awesome phone!
[Desire HD General] 1234568:
Buy DHD, root, install CM7, and you will be one happy man!
[Desire HD General] 8igdave:
I'd wait for the new phone if you can afford the high price you will pay.

Also 200 quid for the DHD is a rip off. You can barter all sorts of contacts, I got 800min, unlim texts, 1gb interent, £70 for the phone and £15 a month. Bare in mind if you're america we pay more than you for everything so it's not a direct conversion ;).

My suggestion would be to go and barter and see what you can get if you don't have the money for the new tech, with the sensation on the way the DHD will already be cheap. When new things come out, the old things don't become cheaper for some time after as the new stuff comes out on premium.
[Desire HD General] asdasqwerty:
this phone is here to stay for long, no replacement as yet, its a combo of style features and performance (excluding the avg battery and speaker) even HTC Sensation is not as stylish as DHD, esp when accessing and viewing internet content you will be happy to view it on its massive size screen, compare it to other phones and the dont even stand anywhere, not even the new ones.

would rate it 9/10.
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
Lol 200 quid for the phone alone no contract.
[Desire HD General] dceightfive:
I was using LeeDroid 2.2.3.. but now testing his 3.0.1 GB rom :)
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:
Can someone tell me which cyanogen mod v7 are people using as in by whom? Also I will try other roms. Fingers crossed ill get the phone tomorrow
[Desire HD General] rkanwar:

We all know that some HDs have problems with GPS.

They found satellites, fixed them but GPS is still not functional. GPS status fixed this for one day or two.

Do You have better GPS experience with rooted phones ?

Thanks guys. Guys is there a way to debrand? And maybe take the orange uk bootscreen off? I tried searching and found nothing but 'you need to root'
[Desire HD General] rory1980:
Your searches were right, to change or flash a custom bootscreen and remove the branding you will need to root your phone. You will need to use a goldcard to debrand and then downgrade to an earlier software version which will allow you to root. A good guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003 Thanks to jkoljo for the guide.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanohue:
So I was messing about with Cyanogen Gingerbread, didn't like it and tried to restore a Froyo backup. The backup failed (kernals don't match right?) and now I cannot get past the AT&T screen on a normal power up or when trying to enter recovery. I tried to go back to stock using ODIN, but no com port is opened when I enter download mode and the phone is showing up as an unknown device in device manager. I have installed the x64 USB drivers, but I still cannot get ODIN to recognize the phone. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio22:
When you say you are using x64 drivers, I'm assuming you are running either Vista or Windows 7 64-bit. I have heard there have been issues with 64 bit Windows drivers and getting the computer to recognize your phone properly.

I would recommend uninstalling the drivers, re-download a fresh set of drivers from Samsung and try again. Also, did you try to reboot your computer and attempt to get it to recognize your phone? Try different USB ports also. If it is possible, try a different USB cable. Finally, if you have a 32-bit OS handy, I'd try that.

Hope this helps and good luck!!

there are other roms using tw4. it requires aditional files. mikey's apk is nicer because the other devs pulled it from a thread with a themed version of tw4 with an app drawer icon. mikey also has the other icons in the system match the sgs2 icon so it looks a lot cleaner.

Here's the situation:

I've been using the Transcend Class 6 Microsd Card since I got my transformer.

5 minutes ago I took it out and connected it to my Macbook Pro to upload some comics. I put it back into my transformer and now it won't detect it at all.

I put in a Transcend 1gb card into my transformer, and it works flawlessly.

When I try my 16gb card, it still doesn't read.

What the hell?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
Your mac didnt format it did it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0639:
No it didn't. I simply dragged and dropped 3 .cbr files into the memory card.

I'm going to return it to Amazon and order a 32gb card instead (not class 6).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
Did you try rebooting it ? My transcend 16 did the same and it worked with a reboot

swyped from my CM7 Supersonic
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0639:
I'll give it a shot... But I think ill get a refund anyway and get a 32gb Class 6 instead.

I have 50 dollar store credit with Amazon so the memory card will cost me 22 bucks :D

(Sorry I can't post links yet)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0639:
Nope. Reformatting the 16gb Microsd doesn't work.

I'll just return it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercore:
Alright, today I accidentally dropped my DHD down a large set of cement stairs (I was talking on it so it was from pretty high too). Needless to day, the battery case and battery came flying off and I was 100% sure at the time that the screen would have broke. I walked down the stairs, picked up the phone and noticed a large amount of thick white lines on it. I was scared ****less thinking it was ruined until I wiped them with my fingers and after a little pressure they came right off. There wasn't a single scratch on the phone, it's exactly like before I dropped it. What was this white stuff? I know it wasn't the cement because I accidentally banged it into a wood door pretty hard once and there was white marks also. Is there some form of protective coating or is it just the material?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foladko:
You might want to look somewhat closer at the screen.

I does not have Gorilla glass or anything similar and scratches very easily.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dceightfive:
as far as I know there isn't any protective coating.. maybe it was just some dust that had become stuck to the screen :s

I'm guessing you are not using a screen protector?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
Thick white lines on your screen?....Most people use glass tables for their lines you know!

Seriously though, your phone should be totalled. Very lucky! No protective shell or screen, just good build quality.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercore:
Sorry, I wasn't talking about the screen. I realize how that may have been confusing. I was talking about the case, the back of the phone.

my guess is that it is anodized aluminium

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobirch2:
Are SBC kernels really that dangerous? Theres some horror stories floating around about batteries that have nearly exploded and smoke literally coming out of the battery because the trickle charge causes the battery to overcharge, which apparently Li-ion batteries dont take very well to.

Has anyone on here had any problems? I usually charge my phone over night and its fairly close to my head, so i would prefer to not wake up to a loud pop and 3rd degreee chemical burns. But at the same time SBC kernels definitely give me more battery life, at least 10%. my phone stays between 100%-90% for a while rather than dropping right away.

I also have an extra battery, so im not too worried about the battery just losing its ability to accept a charge. I just dont want it to blow up in my face.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
I haven't had any problems using it. As far as I know it was all just rumor and no proof or pics of it actually happening.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobirch2:
I did see one pic, which is why i believe it to some extent. The inside of the guys case looked like the battery had been letting off quite a bit of smoke. If trickle charge had absolutely no negative effect on the battery, im sure HTC would have implemented it in the first place. I dont think exploding should be a frequent problem, at least with htc batteries, because the battery itself has a small chip that should play a part in regulating charge. Maybe 3rd party batteries have something different that allow them to accept too much charge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
When the SBC kernels were first being discussed a few months back, there were several reports of battery exploding/catching on fire among other things, but I haven't read or heard anything of that nature in quite awhile and there have been quite a few SBC kernels introduced since that time and a lot of people use them.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Those 8 people, or however many, had those problems in the earliest days of SBC development, for one thing.

Also, can those problems really be attributed to the SBC kernel? Or were they coincidentally just all using SBC.

I'm not sure how many of you have tried a honeycomb tablet or not but IMO they just aren't there yet. I've been struggling to figure out which tablet to buy for a while now an ended up with the nook for the best experience so far. Phiremod + 1.3 kernel and this thing is amazing!

I bought the Acer and ended up taking it back because the nook was so much more enjoyable to use on so many levels. I'm confident honeycomb will eventually make its way to the top but right now 2.3 is where its at. Book's AMAZING screen and surprisingly untapped power under the hood make it an awesome in-between tablet until hc grows more.

[Nook Color General] DubiousPig:
Well said.
[Nook Color General] hacku:
It's definitely the best bang for your buck when it comes to a lower end tablet.

And the only reason I call it a lower end tablet is because it lacks some things like a camera that other tablets come standard with.

But I love my Nook the same as everyone else. :D
[Nook Color General] d00med:
This reviewer doesn't seem to think the Nook is entirely up to snuff compared to the other tablets, and a commenter says Nook users are missing out on the "real" honeycomb experience. Maybe he's right. I have no idea.
[Nook Color General] Zenoran:
It's a completely different ui and while you miss some cool new features it really lacks functional continuity. It will get there but for some people ultimate control and support is what makes android a better platform to begin with. :)
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
I much prefer our CM7 to Honeycomb on the Nook.

Honeycomb is built for a 10 inch tablet. You can tell when you use it on one and it feels way less cramped than on the Nook. On a 10-inch tablet you can just sacrifice the button chunk of the screen to a permanent status bar, but on a Nook with its 7 inhc screen its a waste. I much prefer CM7 with tablet tweaks that allows us to hide the bar at will.
