[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
The DHD is an amazing phone with a lot of awesome, stable ROMs for it. Including ICS. But it's slowly becoming a legacy device. Many of the devs who used to make the best ROMs a few months back have now moved on to other devices. Mainly HTC One X and One S. In terms of Gingerbread ROM development, the DHD has reached a state where many of the GB ROMs available for it are in a very stable state, and there's not much to be done with them anymore in terms of bug fixes and new features. The DHD will receive one last round of development when the official ICS upgrade (announced by HTC) is released, which will help mainly to fix the camcorder in all the existing ICS ROMs by providing the required driver. Right now one ROM still going great in terms of development is IceColdSandwich by LorD ClockaN, which is a the best ICS ROM for the DHD.

I'm basically telling you the scene with DHD development right now, so that you can make up your mind better. If you can manage to get a newer generation device in the next few months, then I'd suggest you hold off this trade and get a new device once for all. But if you have no plans of getting a new device, then I'd say trade. The DHD is an awesome device with a very strong build quality and great performance (depending on ROM and kernel used). Feels very solid in the hand. Though it received dreadful battery life reviews when it was launched, that hasn't been a problem for me in a long time. I can get 1+ day with light use and 8 hours with very heavy use. The processor can be overclocked to 2 GHz too (if required) depending on the kernel used. I'd prefer it over the Arc S any day.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew33:
Aye, overclock the DHD to 2 Ghz if you wanna FRY your phone, or if your lucky....just reduce the life of it by 90%.

With the mentioned ICS build....yeah, go for it, but don't exprect to be able to take pictures, take videos or read Sim card contacts etc etc.

HTC Desire, for me, using NON-ICS Roms has been AWESOME. Solid build, feels quality, fast etc...if I had a choice i.e. money wasn't object....I'd get the HTC One X...but still keep my Desire HD as a 2nd/backup phone, coz it's sooooo awesome and reliable.

Matt
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
Yeah, the thing is that Arc has dozens of roms, but it its always slow. I don't know why... I've read a lit of people telling how great Dhd is, and I'm pretty sure it beats Arc. I don't know, they're about the same price, do there's not much to lose... I'll go for it!

Thanks for in fo guys. I'll trade my Arc to Dhd. I'm gonna buy newer phone later.

I discovered today that, for some reason, my prime will not charge. The LED at the top isn't on either. I recall first using it this morning around 9am and it had 25% left but I needed to travel so I didn't use it. When I wanted to use it again, hours later, the meter showed that it had 36% which didn't make sense. However, I am able to connect it to my computer to transfer files.

Here's some info just in case:

-My device is unlocked

-I had the current Primalicious Rom when I discovered the problem

-I did a factory reset in hopes to solve the problem (didn't work)

-I installed a different rom (AOKP, but didn't work)

-I installed another rom (Virtuous, hasn't worked either)

-I've tried charging my phone with the Prime's power source and that works

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advanced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TechAnimal:
Either the cable or the charger is bad. You can try the various "fixes' in the forum such as bending pins, freezer, etc just in case. In my case, I could transfer data and trickle charge via USB but nothing else. Turned out to be a cable problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RachellehcaR:
Maybe I have the same case as you but I decided to leave it on the charger to see if anything would change and I was able to go from 17% to 82 % in 5 hours but I usually takes a shorter time to fully charge. The weird thing is that I never get a notification that the battery is charging and in the battery portion of the settings it says the battery isn't charging even when I'm plugged in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RachellehcaR:
Well, I went to Best Buy today to see if their cable would charge my tablet and it did so I'm off to get a new cable. Thanks for the help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
It may not be the cable. Check the charger as well. A lot of the chargers have gone bad and caused the same problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dnakaman:
If you are trying to charge by usb, you have to have a usb 3, not 2 port as the Prime requires 15v to charge and the usb 2 port does not provide that.

If you search these forums, it has been discussed in several threads, so that may be your problem. You need to use the charger that was included with your prime. Even car chargers not rated properly will not work as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RachellehcaR:
It might just be my charger; it only charges my cell phone right now.

Thanks I'll try usb 3.0 and see how that works out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
Actually, that's false. It does not need 15v....it will work with 18 watts at 12x1.5 and 15x1.2. The Prime by itself will charge on USB 2.0, but very slow. The only difference with 3.0 is higher amps (.3-.4 average higher) from usb 2.0. The voltage is the same. It has been discussed, but I don't think you read the posts. Wikipedia has an excellent article on USB you should check on. Also, the charger that came from Asus have a variable rate from 5x2 to 15x1.2 based on resistance via the wall adapter. It's the same charger used on the 101. The 201 has better power management and can even take a charge through USB 2.0 with low usage, or at least keep the battery at a stable number. OC users will not have such success under use and wifi other than a slower dissipation of the battery. Check the 101 forums regarding the use of other chargers, both car and home, that work well. I use an adaptaplug from Radioshack that is 12x1.5. Unlike some of the problems people have been having with faulty no-name 3rd parties and the high rate of OEM failures, there have been some conventional and not-so-conventional projects that have been successful and not damaging to the tablet. Note: With the dock, you will need 12 volts at least for it to register correctly and charge since the dock battery is rated (if i remember correctly) at 7.5 volts. Maybe my results may differ based on OC kernels and their voltage tables as well as rom choice as far as battery usage. Just some facts to throw out there for readers and the OP for a better idea of what will and won't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TechAnimal:
Its the cable. I was also able to/charge my phone. I've found that the cable is quite delicate and doesn't like to be tied up, etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gilbo12:
I have just had the same problem. Stock charger worked yesterday then wouldn't work today. Just stopped. Wouldn't light up or charge did not know why. I read a few of these forms and they kept talking about pins in the usb.

I got a torch of and looked at all the connection on both sides of the cable and the wall charger. Looked fine for my untrained eye

But i thought i would play with the pins in the usb cord side anyway. Plugged everything back in and it worked fine. Job done thanks to xda forums.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
Mine stopped working a few months ago, so I unplugged it from the wall for a few days and left it alone. Decided to try it a few days later and it worked no problem. No idea what the issue was lol... Everything was plugged in fully and properly, and the outlet I used was the same both times.

It's nothing permanent, sometimes you'll get a boot loop. Nothing major as long as it's a radio for your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LawStud3nt:
Shouldn't need the rils, as it should play great without them. Also, HTC phones have a different radio setup, where the modem files are (i think) in the bootloaders or something crazy. Samsung's setup is so much nicer and safer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
They are not in the bootloader loader, they are flashed thru the bootloader as image file or thru fastboot from within the bootloader. Same concept, different approach.

Do radios need to settle in to figure out battery life (like a full rom or kernel)? Seems like I get better speeds, but also drain, when I flash away from UVKL1. I'm only testing for less than a day though before switching back.
