The NFC sensor is in the back cover which you could buy.

Take off your back cover and look for 2 gold pins to the right of the camera, if you have these then my guess is you could buy the NFC cover and flash the NFC kernel/rom and all should work.

Check the pics I posted to see these pins
[HTC Desire C] einstein.frat:
I opened battery cover and there's a red rubber in the place of the nfc.
[HTC Desire C] intel007:
What about the pins to the right of the camera, do you have them?

If yes you can buy an NFC battery door (back cover)

Spoke to HTC today to get a replacement back cover, which HTC were great about, sending me a replacement, mine was warped, creaking and had a gap on one side.

Here's the interesting part.... I asked the agent if he was a HTC employee or if he was in a generic call center, he said he worked for HTC in Norway in the development team

So my next question was 'are we gonna see the jelly bean update' and to my surprise the answer was YES its being worked on, but won't be realeased for about 2 months. This guy was very convincing, and sounded certain.

If this is true, we'll have to wait and see, then well done HTC, this is how you should support your devices (even budget variants):thumbup:

I can't wait to see HTC deploying Jelly Bean to the Desire C and One V.

Hi Folks

Just found this thread regarding the HTC Desire C

Have read through and find with interest your debate on the capacitance keys whether they should light up or not

Got mine end of june end of first day could not see keys to dark

to cut a long story short (see the ling posted earlier HTCForums in this thread)

After a web chat and web mail contact the latter was snail mail one reply every day

both HTC guys got a stock HTC Desire C (web chat while on chatting) and both confirmed they lit up (dark stock room etc)

now after confirming the stores were adamant they do not light up and these guys said theirs do and it was escalated that was 2nd july yes they light up and 4th july problem sent for escalation since then fobbed off with a wait it takes time to today another sent to chase

Strange that they have devices that light

PS tapping screen anywhere only activates app or shortcut

If I ever get a response I'll let you guys know, also i shall follow this thread for that one person who can answer the one question I asked HTC first are there LEDs on the board look at the build spec....
[HTC Desire C] intel007:
@rogdodge I spoke to HTC development guy today - see my post above

I also asked about the button lights, so he went and grabbed a handset from somewhere and confirmed his did not light up.

It's an interesting topic, and would really like to get to the bottom of this, there have been a few conflicting reports.
[HTC Desire C] munjeni:
I found on some forums about button light... he said that light mising in desire c (its not software fault, its missing!)... allso desire c have no compas and have no autofokus on kamera... I realy not like this phone because mising buttons light and missing menu button...

About Jelly Bean, I can compile JB but first I need to fix allready compiled ICS because I have a boot loop (still ICS booting, adb connection working, debuging working...etc but fail to complete boot)... so if you want to test and to give me idea "what there fail" I will upload! Going to sell phone because forum have very low activity :(
[HTC Desire C] eoghan2t7:
god i am glad im not getting this phone anymore i have decided to get the sony xperia go which is running GB but there will be an ICS update for it in a few weeks ;)
[HTC Desire C] einstein.frat:
Just get the one x, it's bigger, you would miss sense though with sony go.
[HTC Desire C] eoghan2t7:
i took sense off my WFS the day after i got the phone once it was s-off'ed cm7 went straight on it lol i would only use sense now and again to give me a bit of eye candy ;)

plus i hate big phones so the 3.5" screen on the Go will do me perfectly.
[HTC Desire C] intel007:
I'm actually happy with this phone and prefer it over my wildfire s here's why, and remember these are my own preferences:

Plays games the wildfire s can't eg songpop and temple run etc

Has official flash player and works great with ics browser+ now I can watch latest movies online, but most importantly football

Screen is slightly bigger, not much but its noticeable.

Camera, although no auto focus or flash the picture and video quality is easily better than my wildfire s with smooth frame rate.

Most importantly BATTERY is amazing, double that of my wildfire s even though its the same battery, its probably due to the arm7 architecture being more power efficient than its arm6 equivalent.

I'm due an upgrade in 2 months, looking at an s2/3 or even a note but in the meantime I'm pleased with this, especially watching football online for free:D

Oh and I forgot to mention I paid only £99 for the unlocked, unbranded NFC model, now I would say that's a bargain.
[HTC Desire C] munjeni:
Have some news for you... I done it!!! This is first cm9 build for Desire C :p
[HTC Desire C] eoghan2t7:
Good work mate but I'm still getting the xperia go the dual core CPU has made me want it plus I drop phones all the time and the go being waterproof etc will benefit me better ;).
[HTC Desire C] munjeni:
Thats phone that I will buy too :)
[HTC Desire C] rogdodge:
Hi had reply from HTC after my email request for follow up

it goes as follows

******

In regards to your query, I have received confirmation from my Escalations department that there is no backlight on the soft keys of the HTC Desire C.

I do apologise for any confusion and appreciate your patience on the matter.

*****

That is today 29/8/2012

Below is the email from HTC 7/2012

******

I do apologise for the inconvenience this issue is turning out to create.

My colleagues and I have tried several HTC Desire C phones. The keys light up in dark conditions as we expect. Having tried this myself, I can say that it is a rather difficult task to do when you want to test as opposed to when you just allow it to happen in a dark room.

I would advise you to keep checking the device at the store and point this out to the employee. Though it sounds extreme, there may be issues with their phones or with our testing process.

********

The above was also confirmed by their web chat guy around the same time - he went got phone and confirmed the keys lit up

So... Reading on the net about the way HTC behave towards customers what/who do I beleive

Did the above support guys select the wrong phones ( two guys ) Plus lets not forget the review that said they lit up

or an escalation team that has taken almost 2 months to give an answer and lets not forget they have already been on Watchdog... say no more.

Will have to carefully phrase my reply as i am sure they have not looked at previous emails other wise the response may have been better phrased

Hello,

I would like to install the asian RUU to get chinese language on my german device.

Since the RUU CID is HTC__044 and my device CID is HTC__102, I first tried to use a goldcard.

However, after trying 2 different Sandisk 4GB microSD cards, I still get the error 131.

That's why I extracted the rom.zip from the RUU to flash it through Hboot.

How should I name the zip file? update.zip, PB99IMG.zip, PG58IMG.zip, ...

I'm full stock (locked hboot), and my phone isn't branded.

EDIT

: I just found the zip name for HTC Desire C: it is PL01IMG.zip

So I modified the android-info.txt in the zip, and rebooted into hboot

The hboot found it, with a progress bar "loading PL01IMG.zip", then "checking PL01IMG.zip", and then nothing happend...
[HTC Desire C] davidwheaty:
I get the same issue flashing the rom.zip any fix?
[HTC Desire C] munjeni:
First thing that you must to know is: do not modify stock zips because if you modify it it will not work because signature will be mismatch!!! Next thing: gold card not working on 4gb sd cards :) you need to buy one of the (ideal) 1gb !
[HTC Desire C] davidwheaty:
What about 2gb cards?
[HTC Desire C] cixpa:
Thanks for your help munjeni!

I've tried to modify the android-info.txt because I saw this method on different forums. It seems to be working for other people, but indeed it's recommended not to decompress/recompress the zip, but only to modify it.

I've already heard that's the recommended microsd card to create a goldcard is a Kingston 2GB.

Checked all the stores in my city... nobody has it. I should buy it on internet.
[HTC Desire C] munjeni:
No, if you modify zip than zip will fail signature check! Do not modify!

You can buy every sd card not biger than 2gb... not must be Kingston...
[HTC Desire C] cixpa:
OK, so I think I will buy a smaller SD card tomorrow.

I've read that the goldcard method is no more working for HTC devices that came after the HTC Sensation.

Have you heared about it?
[HTC Desire C] brnt:
Can someone give me the system/lib/modules folder from the stock rom? Thanks!

Edit:

Extracted the RUU and found the files myself. :)
[HTC Desire C] cixpa:
I just bought a 2GB Sandisk microSD card and tried again to create gold card and run the RUU, but it's still not working: error 131 customer id

Maybe the only solution is to get root and find a chinese custom rom on baidu...
[HTC Desire C] munjeni:
Are you sure you found right CID of your sd card? Make sure that cid is not cid from internal sd card!!! Did you tried without reversed cid?
[HTC Desire C] cixpa:
Yes I'm pretty sure, I tried without the card, and then the cid mmc1 didn't appear anymore.

Anyway also tried mmc0. mmc2 doesn't give a cid.

Also tried non reversed one.
[HTC Desire C] cixpa:
Finally I unlocked the bootloader at HTCdev, flashed recovery and a rom found on a chinese forum.

Everything running fine, just hopping I won't need the warranty...

Anyway thanks for your help!

Hi again BMT, I tried doing this with the RUU cannot flash. I tried getting the zip and installing it manually but it says zip is damaged. (I tried getting if from the temp file)

Do you have or can point me in the direction where I can find the stock rom but the actual file so I can flash it manually? It will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

By the way I have only access to Mac computer which doesn't make things much easier. I tried the RUU on a friend's PC that was visiting but he is gone. Any giving person feels like sharing the zip of a European or UK stock ROM With me please?
[HTC Desire C] brnt:
I made a flashable stock, not tested though. You can find it here.

Anyways, are you sure you don't have NFC? Maybe that's the reason the RUU rejected to do its work.

Good luck!

P.S. It's RN, not M. :D :D
[HTC Desire C] andres22:
Holly crap it's true. Im my tiny screen it totally looks like an "m". I am very sorry!!

I am checking the documentation and I see no reference to my phone being NFC but everything is possible. I will check and try the stock you provided. Thank you so much for your help. I'll keep you posted.

Edited: Tried flashing the zip via the Recovery and it did work. Thank you!

I tried all roms and CWM from here because i have a very fast battery draining (7 - 8 hours without wifi/mobile connection, just screen off - idle phone). My problem is present after i unlocked bootloader and simunlock. I don't know who's quilty: unlock or simunlock.

I made battery recalibration after every rom install.

[HTC Desire C] davidwheaty:
If I wanted to use a NFC Ruu, would I just replace the system folder in your .zip with the ROM.zip system folder?
[HTC Desire C] brnt:
Well, basicly all I did was to put the system from an

extracted

non-NFC RUU and boot_signed.img(it's boot.img, not necessary, but it does no harm in case you changed it before). I'm not totally familiar with these stuff either. But if you have got extracted NFC RUU(and mounted system.img), it's easy, simply replace boot.img and the system folder.

And again, this is done in case the RUU doesn't work in first place(for it to work one needs (re)locked bootloader).
[HTC Desire C] davidwheaty:
Thanks man, thought was all I needed to do :) I'll post it if it works so other use NFC capable can use it :)
[HTC Desire C] davidwheaty:
it worked!!! i will upload NFC rom when i have made some tweaks :)

EDIT: Wifi wont connect, just keeps looping through Connecting, Authenticating, Obtaining IP address.

any ideas?

EDIT2: i had to use a static ip to get wifi working, i think it may be to do with Radio problems. It may or may not work depending on your radio version... Testers would be helpful :) however if you want to flash a stock-NFC rom you can flash my stock rom when i upload it and if it doesn't work use a static ip to work around it :)

where saga is the device codename. (yours should say something like golfc or golfu)

EDIT:

WWE, EU, EU-NFC, UK and UK-NFC carry the golfu board.

USTARCOM carry the golfc board
