Check amazon.com for batteries. There was someone selling chinese batteries 2/$5, and they seem to work fine. They're labelled as 1400 mAh.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateGoblin:
Hi guys!

I want to ask you a question that I've had buzzing in my head for quite a long time: What's the difference between the two combinations "Power + Volume down" and "Power + Back" when HTC Desire is turned off?

Do they bring to the same result (show HBOOT menu) in two different versions of Desire? Say, CDMA and GSM? (Optional question: how do I know which version is my mobile? ;) )

Thanks in advance for the clarification! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
power+vol. down will boot you into recovery.

power+back boots you into fastboot.

I believe it's the same on CDMA and GSM...can't confirm that but I don't see why it would be different.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateGoblin:
Thank you, mister! Crystal clear :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 777ace:
That's not quite true.

Vol Dn + Pwr will get you to Bootloader (HBoot) menu

Back button + Pwr gets you into Fastboot menu.

But you can boot into either and switch between by selecting appropriate option from menu's.

i don't mind using the motoblur aspect of my atrix. it kinda bogs this beast of a phone down a little bit, but its not terrible and unusable.

My problem is this: i have signed in with facebook in motoblur and it should be showing all of my facebook friends, but for some reason it isn't showing any new friends that i add to facebook. i have tried removing my facebook association and re-added it to no avail.

has anyone else had this issue?

did you get it fixed, and if so how did you go about fixing it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
Did you freeze any system apps related to social apps, syncing, blur with Titanium? I did this and it royally screwed up my Contacts, even after thawing everything. It would not let me uninstall my blur accounts, so I backed up everything and wiped my phone clean and rebuilt. Hopefully yours was salvageable, I was ready to wipe and start over anyway so I didn't mind.

Hey I have a personal cell and a work business cell (that has my name on there as someone that can purchase and edit account info.) The work cell is a sprint premier gold and qualifies for an upgrade July 1st.

Can I go into the Sprint store, buy the phone, then activate it under my personal account?
[HTC EVO 3D] j2themax:
No you have to activated under the work then put it under seasonal suspension then call sprint and have them move the 3d to your account then move your old phone back

Now when you buy it do you go to the store or buy online? The only downfall is that I don't have the online access for the sprint site to purchase, but can walk into the store and do it.

The Iconia Tab A500 currently supports output resolutions of up to 720P through the HDMI port. Support for 1080P resolution videos will be added in a future software update.

try setting your tv/monitor-graphics card to 720p for now, official 3.1 release should enable 1080p....hopefully. 720p still looks quite good on my sony.

Just remove the battery and re-insert it again. It tends to happen quite a lot to me whenever I restart my phone. It will just be stuck on the GO GO GO screen. Quite annoying but just do that and see if it boots up from there. If not, reinstall your current ROM or just reinstall a different one.

also can you link us the link from your original source as looking on twitter and FB i couldnt see them reference anything new since last week.

Now I'm on stock froyo and I think that it's smoothier than some other roms from xda. (Sense 2.1+3.0 mixes)

No examples but like I said, no problematic and smooth rom.

I've been using custom roms for months, always some sh**... random reebots / USB speed problem (kernels and sh***)... Now I can say 'uff' - everything works.

revert to stock

hi,

How can I safely revert to stock so i can update OTA when gingerbread will be realesed?

Thank you for info and sorry if offtopic

OK....it is now the last week of July.. a.k.a end of July 2011.

best way of reverting to stock is to run the RUU

[Desire General] erklat:
Realism is the only thing on this world that can't be put in the same sentence with your posts. No really, what do you expect for the device which is rather ancient in world electronics, whom had been succeded by three devices already? Could you elaborate why is their support ****ty now? Welcome to the world of corporate business.
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
They are playing with their customers, Desire was phone of the year last year and cannot be treated like this there will be GB and then no and at the end they decided to bring him, so stupid of them, and wildfire S already got it and he is in specs. weaker then Desire, obviously they are lieing.Thats why I think their support sucks.
[Desire General] erklat:
You shouldn't look at it that way. Why should one corporation waste time and resources on a device which is a year and a half old and is probably going to get discontinued every day now? I don't see a title which is not an industry standard, but is instead awarded by a third party magazine a viable reason. And neither do they.

I am glad it will get updated. I own it too. But if it wasn't, I wouldn't care. I'd get frustrated if one Wildfire got updated because they are similarly old. But S went retail a couple of months ago and no wonder it is getting update priority.

Either way, if HTC sux at warranty, it is a viable reason not to buy HTC. Nokia sux. I don't buy it. But slandering a company because they don't update a year and a half old device is bull. No one in the IT industry does that.

So now we wait for the Dev's to finish off what HTC couldn't do.

I know that GB has been out here for a while for our desires, but hopefully, with the official kernel and drivers, there will be more stability with the future roms

On a further note, due to HTC's half arse attempt to give the mainstream desire owners a decent GB version update, and giving it to the developers instead, they should honor any warranty on hardware failures where flashing custom roms are not at fault

[Desire General] andQlimax:
Anyway I don't understand why the update should come this week

Htc said will comunicate some update on the "cut apps" story this week..They didn't say we will release the update this week

If this week they decide the apps to remove, the update will come at least 2 weeks later..They have to test that everything works in the new update without the removed apps, preparings ota things, and press the button release!
[Desire General] radu_wizu:
I will laugh so hard if the Xperia X10i gets the update to Gingerbread before we do.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
nope

what if someone has a phone with no sd card - also to repartition it - what if its full? it's too risky and too badly designed - htc won't go for that solution ever. no manufacturer would unless they had 'in-built sd card' storage like the galaxy s has...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I'd like to know what apps they will cut, that are non-HTC ones.

Facebook - tick - that can go as long as they keep the facebook / htc link

Twitter is not installed, using HTC Peep so that won't go.

Quick office - tick - that can go and should go

Plurk? - that can go - it wasn't on froyo for uk anyway.

pdf viewer - that can go - i thought it was in quickoffice anyway...

the google apps perhaps?

gmail

maps

google search

voice search

i can't see anything else that isn't htc related

stocks, teeter would be good things they could push off to htc hub but they don't seem to want to do that...
[Desire General] 08r3308:
how much space do those apps take ?

i mean would it be really that much over 20mb?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
quickoffice is like 2.5-3.1mb

maps is about 6mb

voice search 2mb

youtube 800kb

gmail is 2.2mb

facebook 2.8mb

stockwidget 320kb

stocks 376kb

plurkwidget 250kb

plurk 380kb

flash player is about 4.4mb

teeter 1.6mb

how much is all that? :P

about 23mb?

they won't remove teeter and stocks so about 20mb
[Desire General] DonManInBlack:
They can't remove Gmail.

I live in Germany and here you can't download Gmail from Market.
[Desire General] pyko:
It would be awesome if they could have everything pushed to htc hub and just have the core things come as-is.

Then have all the 'optionals' as opt-in - go and add them yourself :)

Because with the flexibility of android if they don't let us do it, we'll root and remove stuff ourselves anyway!
[Desire General] gthe:
I was wondering if they could push a new HBOOT through OTA to save some memory. Is it possible? Or perhaps it would be preferable for HTC to release GB as a RUU and not as an OTA, in order to let the update the possibility to reformat the HBOOT.

We know that some alpharev's HBOOTs save a lot of memory (e.g oxygen, CM7 etc).
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I wonder if they will release it as an optional update via RUU

also can't download gmail in germany? i never knew that
[Desire General] gthe:
If they release the update as RUU, they can reform the HBOOT if they want :).

For example CM7 has 100MB more internal memory that can be used for apps than stock HBOOT.

But i dont think that HTC wants to spend extra efford (money and time for the developers) to redesign the old Desire's HBOOT ... :P. A low cost, low time solution would be prefered ....
[Desire General] andQlimax:
They will never do that, the ruu usually format all the data

And change the hboot mean lost the data as well

The update will be a normal ota, only with some removed apps as they told

Of course maybe we will get the leaked ruu, but will not change the partitions size
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Does raise the question, why would and why should an OTA though remove applications? Will this not cause more support queries to say 'I was using facebook this morning but after the update it is now disappeared'

Obviously the answer could be simple as 'download from market' but users might not be using the market and updating apps - they may be very miffed by apps disappearing...

Oh well, I'm sure we'll find out soon...
[Desire General] Ravin_Dave:
Would it not be possible that HTC may decide that, if we really want GB on our phones, that WE may have to decide that we may have to do a full factory reset, so as to make room for stuff, and also that any settings that cant be taken to GB from Froyo are then out of the equation - so as to minimise problems later on ?

A case of, you cant have your Gingerbread and eat it :p

Just a thought :eek:
[Desire General] andQlimax:
What are you talking about? :D Htc already said that will remove apps

Why you are surprised that the OTA will remove apps?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I know I know, but I am just thinking of 'what if people are using those apps!'

Which is why I thought RUU only would make a little more sense than an OTA that suddenly removes apps you are using... less confusing if you have done a factory reset in a way, than if you just sat there... said ok... and suddenly facebook has disappeared... its not like OTAs tell you what they are doing on screen, no changelog normally either.

So unless HTC put a little notice in saying 'if you have apps that are missing, please go to the market and reinstall them' it might be confusing

that's all I was getting at :)
