The way the Desire forums are going I think it's high time I moved on (all the name calling and *****ing is unbelievable!).

But what to get??? I see the HTC Sensation has finally dipped below £300 on Amazon.uk but if I get it I know I'll be wanting something newer as soon as I get it...

Hmm... I just don't know. Maybe the new Sony Xperia S???

Choices, choices...
[Desire General] Geegeeoh:
You'd change the phone becouse… of the *****ing and **** on a forum?
[Desire General] stankyou:
Am I the only one that sees the bottom part of the new xperia series as a complete waste of space?

via xda app
[Desire General] zedmarcus:
No. I'd change the phone because development on the Desire is dead. All of the decent developers have now gone (they've moved on to newer devices), I've had it for nearly two years, and all of the little kids *****ing and fighting mean that the forum is no longer a good place to be. The whole forum is turning into a joke of how it used to be.

Desire development??? That's a bit of a joke now.

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

I kinda agree, but the Xperia S looks a decent device.
[Desire General] erklat:
I couldn't have said it better either. Or maybe I could employ an image or two :D

I have had it for slightly less than you, but it has repaid itself many times since then. I have had great times tinkering with it and playing, and with kids and discount hunters remaining here, it is unsafe IQ-wise to be here any longer :)

So, which is the best replacement for Desire now?
[Desire General] tadas_max:
Well i got a htc one x. i think its better than our old desire :) i love it as much as i loved desire then i just got it. but now holding both phones together desire looks and feels and works so so so olddd!
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
I was playing with One X a few days ago. My colleague has it. By all means it's a better phone, but my Desire (running MIUI XJ) did not feel "so so so olddd" at all...

I still like it and I have decided to wait until next generation of best HTC phones.

And so far, I don't really care for ICS. MIUI XJ is a really powerful and stable ROM.

-Just my 0.02...
[Desire General] DarkAngel00:
still not found a valid desire replacement..

my desire is with me from 2 years now

i need a phone with a normal screen (4" it's enough)

with nfc, dual core, a lot of space and a sd slot (i have 15gb of photos)

i want an htc because sense (ok now i'm using oxygen but if i want i can have a real sense) don't want a samsung toy o sony/lg whit crappy support...

the one s is almost perfect but no sd and no nfc (i dont want to buy a phone every year it must last 2-3 years)

:crying:

yoda say: hard to find the perfect phone is...
[Desire General] B3t4:
I'm also looking for a replacement, HTC of course. But either they are to big (One X, S) or has to bad performance like the One V. Hope that the next generation will bring a powerfull 3.7"-4" phone.
[Desire General] boscovich:
Personally I'm waiting for the next HTC LTE phone that will be able to use the Italy LTE frequencies. In 6/8 months will be the generation jump so the top smartphone will hold LTE SOCS.
[Desire General] KhI:
The answer is really simple - Desire is irreplaceable
[Desire General] DarkAngel00:
i think it's the truth....
[Desire General] nlooooo:
Well, the Desire V is coming soon, it's already released in China and it will flow through the rest of the world.

Maybe a decent replacement...
[Desire General] B3t4:
It doesnt srem to be much of an improvment from the classic desire?
[Desire General] nlooooo:
I said decent, not perfect... :D

[Desire General] bransyeah:
Wasn't the desire a high end phone when it got released? Now a desire V will be overrun even faster than desire...

Fetch a SIII or One X
[Desire General] sha.public:
Acer cloudmobile ?

What about acer cloudmobile ?

Decent size, up to date hardware, removable battery, Sd slot ...

It's quiet the same ranking when I bought the Desire

But the bad point may be support (Acer OS updates, custom ROM)

What do you think guys ?
[Desire General] nlooooo:
I really don't know why there is such great mania for One X when One S is much more sophisticated and it's not that big to need a weapon license to carry it arround.

Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
[Desire General] stankyou:
It's just disappointing to see that development on One S is overshadowed by OneX (from the last time I checked anyway). I was expecting to see devs on OneX contributing on OneS devices as well but I guess not all developer has that mindset.
[Desire General] decat:
I changed mine with a Galaxy Note. Best buy ever. :D
[Desire General] greenie25:
Looking to upgrade from my Desire to this.

I am worried about lack of official support and even custom ROMs coming from my (I can't stop flashing new software!) Desire.

Tbh i think that as long as they ship out JB i'll be happy.

Plus at only £285 a pop it's a steal! :D
[Desire General] willy1980:

[Desire General] hans moleman:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the HTC one series do not come with sd card slots so cannot expand storage space and they also use one of those micro sim cards like iPhone.

I might go for sensation next.

[Desire General] willy1980:
The nexus has come down drastically its 330 from kogan if you can order from there
[Desire General] Ronok:
This was announced today, but has been rumoured before as "HTC Proto".

http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/30/htc-desire-x/

Although 4" screen and 800x400 resolution is a bit outdated. I might go for the One S if the price drops and its not too much bigger than this new device.
[Desire General] erklat:
This phone looks very interesting!
[Desire General] stankyou:
I would have thought they'd given this more RAM considering that the original Desire was plagued by the lack of RAM
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Original desire was plagued with insufficient internal memory, not RAM...
[Desire General] erklat:
And ram too. Multitasking is not working properly, aggressive memory management which kills an app the moment you leave it in the background to do something else.
[Desire General] Looloup:
I think this Desire X could be a good replacement - I don't personally like the size of the One series.
[Desire General] Starfarrel:
4'' is the maximum LCD Size. More is not better
[Desire General] SilverRanger:
Looking at how HTC dumps their users my next phone won't be a HTC
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Looking at how I still like my original Desire, I think my next phone will definitely be a HTC.
[Desire General] erklat:
Get iPhone then.
[Desire General] Ronok:
What do you mean "HTC dumps their users"? I hope you're not talking about ICS, JB, sense 4 or windows phone 8 or iOS 6.0 or what else some people expected to get on their 2 year old device?

Couldn't agree more. I've been looking at samsung and sony devices and yes even iPhones for a replacement, but I keep reaching for a htcs in stores. Luckily I'm not an impulsive shopper and I already own a working device. Probably it's mostly personal, but the decency they've put in the Desire (software, hardware, support, ... in all aspects) definitely has an important influence too.
[Desire General] guggi4:
whats about the upcomming HTC Desire X?

Sadly, no mention on the last page before this one about it.

What I want is another HTC made Nexus phone.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] qubanaso:
ok so i have the current version 5.5.886 rooted and all when i try to install the the 5.5.893 update the phone beings the update process but it stops halfway the installation and i get the Triangle ans it stops the attempt :confused:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
is your bionic fully stock? if so try this. grab the update from here and stick it on your sd-ext, enter stock recovery and install from their. if that doesnt work try the pathsaver method. if that doesnt work their are some threeds with other methods as well. if you have froze or deleeted any apps it will not install. you also cannot be on a custom rom. good luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BKBUDDHA74:
I have tried every method of rooting my ATP with ICS. I have the drivers installed, USB Debugging enabled, etc..Every time i go to root it does not root, it says ADB is not recognized as an internal or external command..Any thoughts.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I noticed this, that even with both of our Rezounds having been De-Sensed, and all the bloat removed, that they take an insanely long time to boot up.

One phone is unlocked and perm rooted, the other is not. Both phones have "fast boot" enabled, but they both take a solid 2 minutes to boot up and get to the lock screen.

Any idears?

You would think that not having to load Sense or any of the 20 useless bloat apps, that the phone would boot faster, but it takes longer than any phone I have ever owned, bar none.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
It's the way that HTC decided to build Android on the Rezound...nothing more, nothing less. You'll probably see significantly lowered times when we get AOSP on here. I mean my OG Droid took a good minute to load until I got my first AOSP ROM(Cyanogenmod)
[HTC Rezound] ifitwasnt4u:
Mine boots in like 5 seconds from a dead power off. Fastest phone I've ever had.

If i "reboot" then it takes about a 2 minutes.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, so it isn't just me then... I mean, I have a 3 year old laptop running Windows7 that takes 1/3 the time to boot up than this phone takes, which seems crazy to me.

So I guess it is better to turn the phone off and then boot it, instead of rebooting it? I will try that and time it and see what the difference is.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
I was wondering this too. Good to know!
[HTC Rezound] davidstech11:
With me turning my smartphone off every night I see this long load time every day. I don't use Fastboot either.
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
With fastboot enabled, it will boot that fast from a power down...
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I noticed this too when I first got it on launch day. I was at the bar with a friend and she had a Droid 2 and I mentioned that it takes insanely long to boot up, so I decided to set up a "race". I hit reboot about 5-10 seconds before she rebooted hers and her's was fully loaded before mine even got to the sense lockscreen! After freezing all the apps I didn't like, installing a custom ROM and using autorun manager it seemed to shorten a lot. Haven't re-tested the "race" yet though just to see if it's placebo or not.

My phone boots in under 30 seconds every time, even after a battery pull. I get the haptic vibrate before the LTE animation finishes. I don't use Fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
then clearly you've got the one magical rezound out there, because every single rezound i've ever used and booted up takes god damn forever, including mine lol
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Mine only takes 30-40 secs on fastboot to boot up. :D
[HTC Rezound] Corki2:
When I power off and power back on, it's very fast, less than a minute. If I reboot, it takes a long time, 2 to 3 minutes. Strange.
[HTC Rezound] shawnb1824:
Just tested mine and from the time I pushed "restart" on the reboot screen to the time the lock screen came on it took 2 minutes and 15 seconds. I then shut the phone down and from the time I pushed the power button until the lock screen came on was 1 minute and 35 seconds.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
My CleanROM 1.5 boots in 42 seconds from a battery pull.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I rock SenselessROM, probably similar times? Or could it be DSB's kernel?
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Has anyone tried using the ROM Toolbox Auto Start Manager to disable applications from loading at boot?

I feel like that might help out with boot times.

I too notice that doing a shut down and then cold power on takes like 30 seconds, but a reboot takes 2-3 minutes full turnaround.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
duh, then NO WONDER you boot in like 30 seconds...should've said that in your first post :p
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
Power off and power on is different than a full restart. This phone goes into hibernation when you power off that's why it boots faster. Full restart or battery pull is what the post is talking about.

disabling apps from starting on boot does help boot time. Also certain roms boot faster.

Impressive, you got the number of ports exactly right ;) Best straight from mine really, all that anyone else really changes (to a large extent at least) is libs and binaries specific to the device anyway.

Edit: And just fyi to the OP, this rom has absolutely nothing to do with miui android. Its taken straight from miui china, and deodexed, translated and modified by me, with help from fllash, at miui_au.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sipher26:

Can someone take a screenshot of their phone, I just want to see what someone else's statusbar looks like compared to mine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ami2510:
Attached is my screenshot, its the default MIUI V4 theme without the icons changes (cnote had different themes and icons on there). So everything is default, I just have the beautiful widget superclock on there.

Hey Devs, for some reason the E-Mail symbol is different from all the other symbols and even changing the icon set wont change it... what can I do?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
thats weird about the email icon. mine is actually normal. try applying a different theme and reapplying the default one. if that doesnt work, try a reflash..i would try no wipe (but still wipe cache and dalvik) first, and if that doesnt work, then try a full wipe)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] firesnatch:
I want to help out with the headphones issue. Can someone tell me in technical terms why the headphones aren't working? Is the simple kernel fix that the Desire & Passion devs made not applicable? An extra bit was being written to /sys/class/switch/h2w/state preventing the WiredAccessoryObserver class from properly recognizing that headphones were being plugged / unplugged.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ami2510:
I tried changing the theme but for some reason the icon remains, damn. I will try what you suggested. Thanks man!

Do you get random restarts when you unlock the phone?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RyanBoyGenius:
I do, it doesnt happen often. Since I flashed it on the 28th, its done it 2 or 3 times I think.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
No problem! And yes, I do get random restarts when unlocking. Maybe about once a day.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ami2510:
I get them more often then you guys, probably every 5 to 6 unlocks. The funny thing is that when everything finally works smoothly (it has to cache the icons and everything when I scroll) then it reboots.

btw: the reflashing and changing the theme didn't change the email icon :( is there some icon file i can replace it with? its just butt ugly lol

Another question, do you facebook contacts show up in your facebook list? My mt4g has the fb account but it says 0 contacts :( and I thought I had friends on there :....(

FWIW I have the same issue. Im actually running MIUI ICS on my Desire Z and came across this thread via Google whilst trying to find a fix... :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ami2510:
Yeah sorry man, I have tried reflashing, reapplying the stock theme and even tryint the MIUI4 theme on the online themes but no luck.

Let me know if you found a fix for your desire, I ll let you know if I find one here for the MT4G - maybe its some permission error, the icon can not be overwritten by the new icon set or something like that...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
If you have a MIUI directory on your sdcard, delete it. You could have some icons cached there
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
Miui is now open source!

https://github.com/MiCode

Edit: The rest of the apps will be released soon.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jhawkins002:
I fixed the email icon mystery!! Now, I do run a Desire Z - so your mileage may vary, but I'll bet a freshly squeezed spice weasel it's the same issue. Long story short, it seems to be a bug (annoying feature?) affecting the customize_icons directory located in /data/system/.
