[Desire General] revthanki:
Dear Desire users, it's an old hand who's watching the clock ticking down on the online sale of his dearly loved Desire.

I got the phone the day it came out in the UK and it was mind-blowing: the colours, the speed :eek: And then a few weeks later the annoyances: that start-up sound, the operator 'improvements' that turned down the headset volume, the battery life, the floppy disk-sized internal memory :mad:

For a while I was frustrated but then I discovered xda developers :cool:

So the last 22 months have involved rooting this bad boy around 5 times, s-offed three times, taken it apart almost completely to replace the bezel (which involved putting the thing in an oven) and finally returning it to stock. It's survived the training well and is probably going to give many years of happy service to someone still.

I've just bought a second-hand Galaxy S (which has a better screen, battery and, wow, you should hear the quality of the sound output) for almost the same price as I hope to sell my Desire. Also, as it has the same chipset as the Nexus S, ICS is up and running almost perfectly already.

As to the future, now my contract's almost up I can wait to see what awesome tech gets released this year (my suspicion is that it'll be Android FTW all the way).

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone here, people who've helped me (learned a shed load), people I've helped (who've forced me to think) and people who've made me laugh. Special shout outs to Droidzone (a gent), AdamG and Kali (AOSP believers) and wmjan and Alex-V (whose beautiful D2EXT Sense roms my Desire spent its last days using).

Bump into some of you soon!

Some one offerd me $380(20000) for my sensation --?

Should i sell it or dmand 405$ (21000RS)
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
that sounds about right. if you look on marketplace they go from 350-400. very few actually hit the 400 line. i got mine ~3 months ago for a little over 400. if you want you can ask for 390, jus down the middle :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] nexus2515:
Are you sure bro ??

I bought it for 560$...
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
I bought almost brand new Sensation with on 08/11 for only 360.00 that's just 2 month after release.
[HTC Sensation] tritran18518:
i can get a used like new sensation with box and accessories from craigslist for around $280 right now (houston.) 3 weeks ago , i bought a almost like new sensation (still have plastic cover) for $200 with everything, box.... Then i posted it on Craigslist for $320 but nobody called me , so lower price $300 and it gone. My current sensation is also like new and i got it by trading my Nexus S :D. Of course the price in US much cheaper than other countries.
[HTC Sensation] nexus2515:
Hmm...:confused:
[HTC Sensation] sanchitgrover:
Would u like to trade for a htc desire hd ? Send me a pm
[HTC Sensation] Twister031:
That's a normal price for a smart phone..

The price is usually drop a half, you're lucky if you can get it on $400, IMHO
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Well, I ordered my livedock off eBay on Sunday and it arrived this morning, I'm happy to report they do just what they said it would.. I can now charge my neo at the same time as using usb devices! HDMI out to the tv, usb Wifi mouse/keyboard combo and usb thumb drive all at the same time. (with usb hub attached)

The neo sits in the dock very nicely, and is at a nice viewing angle.

As an extra unexpected bonus it also enables landscape mode on the home screen when it's plugged in.. I hadn't worked out how to do that on stock home launcher yet. So navigating with mouse is really easy, doing that with OTG cable was a pain because it wouldn't switch to landscape.. (probably a build.prop edit that enables landscape mode but havn't played with that yet)

Well worth the 29 euro for the livedock :)

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zmbutt:
Cool Congrats :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
I think it's pretty expensive. It's €35 here. If I use wifikeyboard using my laptop and connect the phone with hdmi to my tv, I have basically the same.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Yea, I even considered getting a BT keyboard but with Android total lack of BT support I thought this was a cheaper option.

at least I can connect thumb drives too and still charge.. than again, Wifi could solve that issue too.. meh... I like the dock and very happy with the way it just works. (now just have to find myself a cheap USB gamepad to try) :P

Chris
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ip2op01:
Post some photos. Please
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
o.k.. a couple of pictures.

some with my case on some without. moved the dock into the kitchen for better light so its not plugged into power or USB OTG.. but you get the idea.

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Krishna-Sukhraj:
nice :)

how much di you got it for...and can you post the product link of ebay?

Sure, here is the eBay link.. 29euro with free postage :)

Forgot to mention it comes with a 550ma power supply too with a micro usb connection.. Can Never have too many chargers ;-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hilfordjames:
I want one......lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vaalpens:
awesome, been itching to order mine, you mentioned thumbdrive in the first post ?

does that work on stock firmware?

regards

vaalpens
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikekop:
So, IIRC, the livedock supported HDMI through USB, so that phones without HDMI-out, such as Ray, could be used. Is this true? Can you connect your tv with HDMI from the livedock itself, or do you have to use the HDMI-out on the phone?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
No hdmi support on livedock.. You have to plug a hdmi cable into the hdmi port on the phone..

USB thumb drives work with stock firmware but you have to install arc usb storage manager from market to enable thumb drive support on the neo.

And @ HilfordJames.. You'll get yours end of Feb when I get back to nz :P

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ip2op01:
Thanks for posting the pics. I really love this gadget. I am looking forward to get one.:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Croog:
Are you using actively powered USB hub in connection with livedock? Are you tryied to open it and look inside? :) I am just curious if the USB on livedock is powered only from the phone so it is really the same as USB OTG cable connected directly to phone, or there is some circuit to power it from charger if available.

I am considering to buy this gadget also, but i hope somebody add support of Bluetooth HID to the stock rom sooner, so i will not need live dock as i already have bluetooth keyboard and mouse.. Tryied to install CM7.1 because of that, but then I quickly return to the stock rom, on CM even HDMI didn't work.

Also let us know which games you will find easy to control via connected gamepad. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Havn't got my gamepad yet so can't comment on that.. Using unpowered usb hub works fine but havn't tried a powered one yet.. I'm sure it will work though.

As far as supplying power from dock for OTG, I can confirm this works, I can use the OTG usb port on the dock to charge other devices while the phone is unplugged from the dock, so power is being supplied straight to the OTG port from the live docks power supply :)

I've pulled the dock apart and will try to get a photo of the intricate circuit board in there, it's more than just a few cables.. And looks like an empty area for another plug or lead to solder onto.. Will try to work out what this is for too ;)

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
here is a picture of the board inside the livedock..

looking at the board the micro USB only supplies power so if you power the dock off a computer (Through the docks micro usb port) it won't connect the phone to the computer for file sharing etc only charging.. not really that important but still good to know.

I attacked it with an old multimeter but its pretty primative.. I'll have to wait till I get back to NZ next month and my own test tools to figure out what the empty J12 connector is for.. (might just be a leftover test port) but if its possible to add extra usb ports it would save using a hub.. we'll see :) anyway.. enjoy the pic..

Dayme~! we're waiting like forever to see it coming to Malaysia
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] joachim1:
If this has landscape homescreen, we should be able to enable it in someway without the dock? Any developer who could figure out how to do that?

And if you make a call, is the "in call" screen also in landscape mode?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] koassim:
12-pin JTAG connector for that MCU ???:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Just tried the in call screen and I'm afraid it defaults to portrait mode when a call comes in while plugged into the dock..(perhaps overlooked by the SE devs) wonder if I can do an adb logcat when I plug the phone in to find out what it's doing to the home screen... I'll have a play.

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vla_diss:
Cen u use usb devices and charge ur phone in same time with livedock ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Yes it charges and uses otg devices (keyboards, mice and thumbdrives) simultaneously.

it's the only thing I've found that will do that too. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vla_diss:
That's nice but can you please take picture of front and the back of the bord, so I can check if I cen make usb otg with charging capabilities for phone and usb device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
I highly doubt any electronic engineer would be able to do it without a scope meter and other circuit testing equipment, let alone just off photos, but if I pull it apart again (since you said please) I'll get some pics for ya.. ;)

Kiwi

Edit:

-Links removed

Cheers, and if you do work something out either with these or without please please share it with the users on XDA.. it would be a world first (from what I have read) and you will make many Xperia and Samsung, HTC, Motorola etc people very happy. ;)

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vla_diss:
Thx:D

most of these electronic components are for telling phone to go in landscape and to liveware mengaer that the connected device is livedock.

So if I cen just find path from vbus, gnd and shield to thous two usb ports that will be it. and bord have realy nice markings, maybe I find scheme for this bord :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shenlong85:
I juz got one too. However, if I connect the phone to livedock and switch off the mains when I sleep, when I wake up, the fully charged phone is @ 30%!!! omg!!!

Remember not to off the mains or disconnect it from the dock when not using. It's a battery drainer!!!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darkerm:
Can I use normal USB Pc keyboard or mouse? And also USB GAMEPAD?

(sent from Xperia Neo)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Keyboard and mouse works, game pads should work.. but it might depend on the game pad, just use a usb hub to plug in as many USB devices as you want... the Live dock supplies power so all good :)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sergio_pj:
Hi Guys!

I have flashed my HD with Pdaimatejam ROM, this rom is awesome! But I have one question:

Every time I made a hard reset, my battery status show about 1 day and 10 hours of lifetyme in 100% of charge.

After 5 or 6 days, HD2 shows about 20hours in 100%. and so on...

This happened also in ROM HD2O I had installed few months ago!

This is normal? Or a radio problem?

Radio Version: 5.51.09.29_22.32.50.10u

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] abogdan:
The estimation is based on your current consume ....

I think is more relevant to monitor your real battery drainage using a dedicated application like "Battery Status" or "BatteryTool".
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sergio_pj:
Yes, i know, but i dont changed nothing in my use...

How i can control with Battery status or Battery tool?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Anden1986:
Hi!

WP has to "learn" how you use it so the first week or two you'll notice the battery status changing a lot :-) It is practically unusable so I would recommend (like mentioned above) that you install battery status or the htc battery tool. You can find the xap-files on the forum if you do a little searching ;-) As an alternative you could look on marketplace - there are a few apps out there for the purpose!

If you need help to figure out how they work - just ask! :-D

/Anders
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sergio_pj:
Hi Anders!

Thank you for your kindness in quote! I downloaded the battery tool, and from what I understand it only shows the percentage of the battery, right?

Also downloaded the HTC battery tool, it shows me some more accurate data, but do not know how to use them, you could help me to improve?

I noticed that my HD2 spends too much power in standby (like 4 or 5 percent at hour without use, with 3g, wifi, localize and more off), is there any way to minimize this?

Thanks so much!

hug

Sergio

ps: sorry my bad english, im Brazilian!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Anden1986:
Hi again!

No worries about your english - understand perfectly ;-)

You are right about the battery app from the marketplace only shows the voltage and percentage remaining. Its nice for your startpage but other than that not that usable.

The HTC battery app on the other hand gives you a great deal of info! What you have to look for is battery current. It should be between 5 and 10 when you have had the phone on standby for some minutes with the settings you describe...

Anything else you would like to know? :-)

/Anders
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sergio_pj:
Sorry to be asking me all the time, but you are helping me right! Thank you!

I installed the tool for HTC battery, the tests and did as you instructed me! it shows the values ​​of -80 to -100: |, is this normal?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kwartey:
can somebody pls tell me why I get only 7-8 hrs of battery life and also why my hd2 always heats up..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sergio_pj:
Did u deactivate DATA, 3G, localization and other things?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] krashekspres:
baterrrrrrrrrrry

drainage and heating is not connected only to those settings, i got on mine all that turned on, + mail sync ewery 30 minutes, and battery lasts ower 24 hours with normal day usage (surfing on 3G is most intense on battery for me)

Its hard to say what is causing high battery drainage, because for me first it was SD card, so after I changed it ewerything was good for day or two, than my screen broke (tough luck) and while i was fixing it, i used an old iPhone which broke my sim card (more tough luck) in way that celular data didnt work, and that caused teriblle drainage when I fixed HD2. So after replacing sim card it was ok again (2+ days on batery saver prediction, but usualy lasts for day and half).

p.s. I use yuki-xbmod rom on adata 8gb C4 sd card
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sergio_pj:
if I let those things turned on, my battery life is halved, this may not be the main but I think it works, right?

I'm using a SD SanDisk's 16GB class 6, once wore a sandisk 8gb class 4 and nothing has changed about the battery life .. it's not strange?

Does the capacity of the SIM influences that too? there are various SIMs sizes right? mine is very old: D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Anden1986:
That does sound strange I must say :-( Could you try to turn on flight-mode, let it rest for 30 mins or so and then check the batterystatus again? Then at least we can tell if the radio is draining the phone or not!

/Anders
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kwartey:
I always turn of localization and sometimes use 3g. My data is always on. Am using a 16 SanDisk card. I don't know the problem. Am thinking of doing a task29 and reflashing the rom. Do I have to repartition the size in Magldr? And can u plz give me simple steps in doing it because I will be using hd2 toolkit and that will be my first time. Thank you...

If you want a high-res Samsung Tab, buy one of the Galaxy Tabs (7.7, 8.9, 10.1).

If you dont want to spend so much money on it, buy the Galaxy Tab 7.0+. It has a Dual-Core Exynos Chipset, 1,5ghz I think, the same as Galaxy SII, may faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] individual666:
I can say only that I would buy a galaxy tab. Reason is that it is more configurable, and secondly: I don't like windows at all :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sudec123:
Hi,

I purchased a Galaxy Tab 8.9 a month ago, and I'm really satisfied with it. The quality is good, great battery life, etc. (you can find all this in a review so I'm not going in any details).

I also had a Omnia 7 running on Mango.

To compare, the Windows is really fast and smooth. However from my experience this is the only good thing about it. No customization whatsoever.

If you go with with a tab having Tegra will let you play anything just as smoothly as on Windows.

So I would say go for the TAB. You will have a lot more options with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grandon:
Galaxy Tab. . . what else? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josueciz:
I think its best to get the galaxy tab 10.1 if you want to maximize
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aaron_my:
I never think this question should be ask in this part of the forum. Everyone here should be an android and Samsung fans (including me).

So your answer surely will be the tab if you ask here lolz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] srinivas07:
Thanks for your gud suggestions guys...I bought tab 7.7.....Its really amazing :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zamiurratul:

Obviously in this forum you will get only one answer, tab.

Any way what are your reasons for even considering Nokia lumia?
