HTC Desire

I've got mine for 19 months now and still love it.

I'm due for an update within 3 months, may go for HTC Sensation (almost sure), but I'll keep the Desire.

Battery is not like old phones, but mine is on 3G all day, heavy heavy use and is enough for a day (spare HTC original battery in my pocket, just in case)

Best phone I have ever had... had XDA's Mini S, Stellar and Zest (Window based) but there's nothing like this.

If you find one at good price (yes, this is just a bit old now, but still shinning) go for it, it is still a top phone.

Big enough screen with smoth transitions and for the use I still give it (mail, internet, loads of usefull apps, sat nav, wifi hot spot for my tablet, e-bay, Evernote, Dropbox, camera, Twitter, etc... also phone calls, almost forgot)... I will advise... find one, buy it and you will not regret

Regards

[Desire General] MarkMRL:
I'm also taking advantage of this thread as I'm thinking about getting a Desire. I can get it used, apparently mint conditions with warranty, for 190€. I currently have an X10 Mini, and I actually think it's a very nice little phone. The only thing I feel is seriously lacking from the X10 mini is the fact that browsing and texting is seriously painful. I'm not one that texts a lot, but the few times I have to send a text message or an email I start ripping my hairs out. Overall, I feel that the X10 mini is very fast and almost good enough for what I have to do.

I mainly use it for calling, youtube videos and some light messaging and internet browsing. I'm considering an update mostly because I want good internet browsing, some light gaming, better screen and messaging capabilities.

Do you think this phone is good enough for what I want to do? I was also considering the Xperia Mini Pro, it appears to be much faster, better camera, and it has a qwerty, but the screen is still pretty small. My main concern with this (as I'm pretty sure it's a massive improvement over the X10 mini, that many of you wouldn't even touch) is that I wouldn't want to waste my money on a phone that is pretty much already obsolete. I want it to last at least a couple of years...

Oh well. Should I get it?

Also, I'd like to know a few things.

How well do websites with flash video work (say, gametrailers, cinemassacre, etc)? These website have terrible mobile versions and I'd like to browse them on the desktop version.

Do games work well on this? I have a PSP to play on the bus and on the sh**tter, but I'd like to play something on my cellphone too. Some games that I liked but worked like crap on the X10 mini are Angry Birds and Slice It.

How well does the multitouch work? Is it fluid and precise?

What's the deal with the pink hue on the display?

How does the screen on this phone compares to the one on the PSP? Would it be possible to watch an entire movie on this device? Is it possible to watch a movie in xvid or wmv without converting it?

Thanks in advance :3
[Desire General] suramania:
-youtube,messaging,browsing -> check, definetly better from xperia mini pro, you'll be blown away by the screen size/pixel density..

-battery life is about 4 hours of watching 720p movie in good ROM/kernel and headset..

-lifetime, depends on dev here.. maybe at most 1-1.5 year.. but with a good ROM/kernel, its life time depends on your ability to resist new phones, ICS and stuff :D if desire got a working AOSP ICS from devs here, that will be another story tough..

only thing lacking from desire is internal memory (workable with data2sd) and true multitouch.. its nice and smooth for general use, but had problems when playing certain dual stick shooter or FPS games..not all of them tough.. <-check youtube vids on desire multitouch if you want to know more.

pink hue is only on AMOLED displays.. i think they had a solution tho, idk mine is SLCD..

formats i knew only mp4, flv, avi.. maybe others can add up on this..
[Desire General] erklat:
QQ player plays almost everything. Yeah, I agree pretty much with everything you wrote, Angry birds and slice it work ok and this phone blows X10 out of the water. The thing is - does it bother you carrying 4 year old phone around after another couple of years?

[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
Hello

I am trying to setup a tasker profile whereby when I am camped onto 6 cell IDs, a number of tasks are carried out.

Here is what I have done so far:

Added a new profile called Home

Added a State

Selected Variable

Variable Value

and then CELLID (%CELLID)

Op = Matches

and then Value = the CELLID. I have got the CELLID from an app called net monitor

now based on this criteria, I want WIFI to switch on, and the volume to adjust etc

But for some reason I am unable to activate this profile

Any help will be greatly appreciated or if anyone has this profile setup already, I would be grateful if you could upload it for me to have a look at!

Thank you very much in advance

I'm using AndExplorer right now. I'm wondering if deleting the .apk and .odex files in "/system/app" will free more internal memories. Is deleting them the same as uninstalling system apps?

I'm looking for alternatives in removing system apps or any way to free more internal memory without rooting the device. If anyone have any suggestion, please help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmart:
For what I know: uninstalling the app removes it from /system/app and you dont need root access to do this. Deleting an app from /system/app needs root access (write access to system partition).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanvara:
I tried deleting the files directly from the file explorer app but it was denied. Other people said that you need to root the phone first in order to grant superuser access, then the files in the /system/app can be modify.

So there is no other way to get rid of the system apps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmart:
No, there ist no other way. No root access means no superuser access. With the superuser-app you can grant root access to single applications. But only if you previously rooted your phone. No root = you cannot delete something from system partition.

Hey guys, I'm back again with another deal. I was searching on e-bay, & came across this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170694771081?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_500wt_674

I zoomed in as much as I could to inspect the battery, & compared the pic with a 4000mah battery I bought from seidio.com, it looks like the real deal, so I ordered one, hope it ships fast so I can let u guys know if it's real/legit :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
if it is, damn. i paid double that for mine.

still worth it:cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] guyver2077:
it says same size as original but it still comes with a door?
[HTC EVO 3D] magicalan:
same size as the original?!

if it was the real deal, i would soo buy it right now. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Yea, something isn't right there, it says same size as original battery.... I'm betting that if it is even really a Seidio battery, then it is Seidio's 1900mah battery...
[HTC EVO 3D] DOG666:
What's up mike, yeah I questioned that too. Before I made the purchase I expanded the item pic, & zoomed in as much as possible, I could barely make out the 4000mah. I zoomed in on my phone, & laptop but couldn't get too close cuz' the picture quality wasn't too good, plus the fact that it's wrapped in plastic didn't help much either. I'll let u guys know when I get it
[HTC EVO 3D] DOG666:
Awesome news guys! I just got my battery in the mail today, & it is a 4000mah extended battery. I was kinda' stressing for a bit considering the price I got it for, & the sketchy info/details the seller wrote. She e-mailed me shortly after I purchased it & apologized for any inconveniences due to the info, she was selling the battery for her father. Aside from all that, I got my battery in full seidio retail packaging, just like my holster, & universal extended battery charger, I couldn't be any happier :D

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Yeah, she's selling the battery for her father, so she doesn't know the size of the stock battery, she assumed the original was the 4000mah size. I got the battery today, & it's the real deal :D
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
you are so lucky i didn't see this when you originally posted it... i would have out bid you.

lol

not a good idea to be like "hey guess what i am buying!!!"

when there is only one available. hahaha
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
DOG, congrats bro!!! You stole that thing! Too bad her Dad didn't have about 10 of them lying around :) . Well you took the gamble, and it paid off for ya, so you deserve it!
[HTC EVO 3D] DOG666:
Ha ha, I bet you would've, but when I posted this thread I had already bought the battery (via buy it now). My intention for this thread was so other fellow members could see the deals that are out there, & to keep an eye on this seller in case she posts another battery for sale.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Thanks mike, I'm super stoked about my purchase. Plus you already know me, I'm always on here looking out for the deals to share with the community, like the $3 holster :D

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depulle87:
flash CWM, every rom you want to use in the future will be provided in a zip file that you have to flash trough a recovery menu, here at the Transformer we use CWM - Clock Work Mod.

you can find it in the dev section or in the link you have in Personal Message

( dont forget to update CWM after install this is also done by zip file )

you need external SD to use CWM

I had the same issue with EVOlvedROM. I ended up switching to Kinged Alliance for that and other reasons. I would suggest maybe a kernel switch? I am not sure exactly.

I want Tasker to adjust my screen brightness, media volume, and notification volume to where i want them when it is in either the car or desk dock. It doesn't seem to know when it's docked. I'm wondering if this is because the bionic doesn't use the magnetic switch. The same profiles worked fine on my D1.

I have it set as follows

Docked-Desktop

Auto brightness -off

Brightness -custom level

Notification volume-off

Media volume -custom level

Exit tasks

Auto brightness -on

Notification volume-max

Media volume -max

Similar setup for car dock.

I'm fairly new to Tasker, but that worked on my D1.

[Acer Iconia A500] cocobalez:
Hi,

I have an Iconia A501 with Tabooney 2.0 rom and booting with ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0

The story : I was unzipping a big file (backtrack img) using gunzip in the /sdcard/BT directory. A nothing was happening after 5 minutes and Ctrl+C did not work I tried to reboot and the tablet hangs at the "Iconia" splash screen.

As the file I tried to gunzip is very big I think that the local storage (that is not a sdcard but mounted in /sdcard) is full.

The recovery boot loader doesn't want to mount /sdcard

I can access to the tabled using adb in recovery mode but I cannont mount the local storage as in fstab it is described as /dev/sda1

cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/sda1 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /flexrom ext4 rw

but I don't have any sda1 in /dev/block

ls /dev/block
loop0 loop3 loop6 mmcblk0p1 mmcblk0p4 mmcblk0p7
loop1 loop4 loop7 mmcblk0p2 mmcblk0p5 mmcblk0p8
loop2 loop5 mmcblk0 mmcblk0p3 mmcblk0p6 platform

I tried to mount all of the mmcblk devices but it doesn't work.

So I cannot mount it in order to clean the content.

Please if you have any Idea, tell me. I am also wondering if it is not a hardware failure as I think I should be able to see the device in /dev/block

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] cocobalez:
Well, as I missed time I did a factory reset and could boot again. I would have prefered not to loose data :-(.

Anyway if anybody knows a way to mount local storage partition in recovery I think it would be very usefull for many people as it seems it could happen to anybody.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ska88:
Hey guys,

I updated my Android market to version 3.1.3 via an apk from xda and while I was browsing through the files on my phone, the info on the 'vending.apk' (android market) file said:

file version 2.3.4

installed version 3.1.3

My question is, shouldn't the file version also be the same as the installed version (3.1.3)? My phone is not rooted.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02ranger:
I'm just guessing here:

I know you can uninstall market updates through the manage applications page to make it go back to its earliest installed version. Maybe it installs the updates elsewhere and "overlays" them on the original version to get the new "installed" version. This way the apk stays the same version it always was, allowing a quick and easy revert to the old market. If updates are applied directly to the apk, maybe the version number for the current apk stays the same to allow easy determination of what your earliest installed version is.

Again, this is all guesswork. I could be way off the mark. I hope not, though. :)

Hi guys,

I enter most of my appointments via Microsoft Outlook, then have a program that syncs my calendar, contacts & notes to google.

I have the A501 tab (Android version 3.0.1) and a Samsung Galaxy S2 mobile.

The problem I get with the Tab, is events that are recurring monthly (like monthly club meetings) and recurring yearly (like Christmas day) are showing in the Tab calendar every week. (eg Fathers day shows on EVERY Sunday)

The events show properly in Google Calendar, and on my mobile, but not on the Tab, so it shouldnt be an outlook or Google problem.

And I can tap and edit ANY of the wrong entries and it will show the correct recurrence. (eg 1 meeting is the 3rd Tuesday of each month, Tab displays it EVERY Tuesday, and if I open a wrong entry, say on 1st Tuesday, and edit, it shows it recurrs on the 3rd Tuesday each month!!)

So, any ideas.

Have deleted Calendar data, but doesnt fix
[Acer Iconia A500] GTablet:
On your tablet (I am assuming you are running the stock rom) go into

1: Settings

2: Applications

3: Manage Applications

4: Select "All"

Scroll through the applications you should find "Calendar and Calendar Storage". Open Calendar and hit "Force Stop" then "Clear Data". Then open Calendar Storage and hit "Force Stop" then "Clear Data".

Close out of settings and reboot your tablet; you will need to give it a few minutes to re-sync your calendar but it should clear up your problem!
