Desire X

I am thinking about a desire X.

Unfortuanatly there is no cyangenmod :(
[Desire General] dvd777:
After 2 years as life companion (and this is not SGS4 :) ), my Desire is sold to my friend. Best phone I ever had. Robust, heavy, responsive and most importantly - huge community and many different ROMs. I never thought I will sell it, but better to be used by my friend that not be used at all in my drawer.

So, I'd like to thank all devs, mods and other Desire guru's for ROMs, for their help and tutorials. It was fun and very addictive to switching ROMs.

Wish You all the best and keep up the good work with Desire. It will not be fair for this phone to be forgotten in history :) Maybe I buy it off my friend when this phone will be too old for him :D
[Desire General] jeff243:
what's your upgrade to?
[Desire General] dvd777:
As you can see in my sig - Xperia Z ;)
[Desire General] marceli-szpak:
My Desire i change for HTC One Sv. First "look" is very good, works fine, Sv is a little bigger but that's a matter of habit. I hope it will be a worthy successor...
[Desire General] TheRamon:
So your resolution stayed the same but now got a 0,6 inch bigger screen. How does that feel? Because deep down... I'm looking for a replacement too.
[Desire General] marceli-szpak:
The same resolution but it looks very good. I don't see any pixels in normal use. One Sv looks really very very good. A little big for my small hand but this is price.... :cool:

Sorry for my English....

Bye bye, Desire. Sent from my HTC One. ;)
[Desire General] dvsk69:
Bye bye Desire :) heck! What a piece of beauty HTC has made. Just can't put this phone down.
[Desire General] Chief-Glider:
My Nexus 4 will arrive tomorrow after finally being released in Korea.

I had great times with the Desire, but sometimes a lot of headache.

Not sure what to do with it though? I definitaly will keep it to see K3 running :D

Maybe give it to charity? I heard you can donate phones?

Turn it into a very energy-efficient server?

Give it to my mum (her first smartphone?)

Any other ideas?
[Desire General] TheRamon:
Back-up phone? ;) In case your Nexus 4 maybe will be broken or something, sent to warrenty department.
[Desire General] TheRamon:
Bye bye Desire... Got a Galaxy S3 LTE now, really nice. Unless the Desire brought me very nice times (but also very bad times...) This device is just 10 times better :D
[Desire General] grim00:
I gave my phone (HTC Desire) to my son 18 months ago, he loves it. It's a good phone.

Whilst I don't have a HTC phone at the moment, I might consider the HTC One.
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Don't just consider it, just go for it. It's worth it.

Dat speakers :victory:
[Desire General] kshitijgandhi:
no bye to my Desire...

used my Desire for 2 years before giving it to my dad....

cheers to HTC for making such a device....

was thinking about flashing another rom on the phone while I came across this thread...

and now that my Desire is with my father, I'll probably be able to show that phone to the next generation and tell them "This is what was known as a mobile" :p

BTW any new ROMs ?? stable with Sense
[Desire General] ceutas:
Desire great phone, great comunity still alive after 4 years, but HTC is the worst company ever...

They build the best phones but they don't understand that a good support later get keep the users...

Maybe some day, but not today.
[Desire General] russell664:
My next phone will be a Non HTC device, only because i find the support from them extremely annoying, and very far fetched.

Maybe the Nexus 5, will be my next phone lol :P
[Desire General] 350Rocket:
I miss my desire too. It had a really good feel to it. I had it two years until a year ago (sanding the paint off made the home button die and warranty gave me an HTC one s). Then I sold the one s a month after for a 2.5 year old nexus one which I kept 9 months. Now I'm back to the one s now that its old and cost me $100 at a pawn shop with a tiny crack at the edge of the screen and scratches all over).

Its almost as fast as the newest phones and has a great Rom community. I'd recommend buying this if you still have the desire, and then never another HTC again! The price of the one s used may go down now that HTC has dropped support on it like they did the desire. HTC will probably be gone in a year anyway so better not buy their new stuff. :)
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
I don't think they will be gone. I think that the HTC One is a masterpiece.

Anyways, why did you initially sell your One S for a Nexus One? That doesn't make too much sense.
[Desire General] 350Rocket:
It was for money reasons a actually. I missed the one s a lot even though I loved the nexus too.
[Desire General] charliebigpot:
Ode to my Desire

I am sorry if you think that I am selfish.

I hope you can see what is in my right hand.

Trust me even though we both know that is over, one part of me thinks its not.

The time we spent together was one of the defining moments on my life.

It changed me in way I can never fully grasp yet.

Yes, it finally happened - I put my Desire away in a box and got myself a S4 Mini.
[Desire General] .vermilion:
I got too many hardware defects, therefore I'm saying "Good Bye!" to my Desire and "Hello!" to my new HTC One :D
[Desire General] manuz1200:
I have Desire for over three years, and it don't want to die.

This phone remake the history of my last phone "Nokia N70", that i used for work, jogging, bicycle and when the "torch light" needed.

Most impressive is the support and the interest on this phone on this site.

I feel a sensation like the years at the end of C64.

Regards
[Desire General] heraSK:
so I too said goodbye to my Desire. it was fun two years, marked with flashing, flashing again and more flashing (like every 2-3 weeks). i'm gonna miss that, since i bought ZTE Grand X Pro, and there's no active community (yet?).

but, boy there are some funny people around. i sold desire to a guy in a city far far away. his first mistake was that he asked about phone via text messages (and there wasn't many questions), but i told him that it runs custom GB rom and that i can revert it to full stock froyo w/o root and S-Off if needed. he said no need, and the deal was made. i figured the guy knows about xda and flashing stuff so he'll nuke the thing the way he likes....

yeah, right....

the guy calls me the day that phone arrived and tells me that it's slow and like it's not working properly. i repeated the part about custom rom, and the guy said: i don't know anything about flashing!!!!....:eek: well...LOL...what more can i say to that? i gave him all the info he needed before selling. but, if he thinks that the phone isn't working as it should now, imagine his face first time he replaces current SD card which has ext4 partition...:laugh::laugh:

anyway, i had to share that. ;) back on-topic, thx to everybody here on XDA that helped me get into android thing. i hope i'll be around with ZTE also. cheers!!
[Desire General] dvd777:
Koji tupan :D

What a wally :D
[Desire General] 350Rocket:
Would be slower stock though for sure
[Desire General] issak42:
Niso vsi talentirani za flashanje, tudi ti si bil enkrat noobie ;)

I'm not saying bye to HTC desire, but hi!

I just ordered a used one, to set up as IP camera to monitor my baby, I figured it's cheaper then to get a dedicated 'baby video monitor', so I got the cheapest android phone I could find with a decent camera, and I found desire for 40€. I don't know if it was a ripoff or a steal, but when compared to 'baby video monitors' (new starting at 160€ in one particular store in Slovenia), it's awesome.

And I get to view video feed on Android phone, tablet, WP8 phone, all PCs and laptops. Oh, and range is as far as internet goes (need to forward the port on the router for that, otherwise limited to local WiFi).

So to anyone with babies or one on the way, don't sell your old phones, you can setup a whole home security for cheap.
[Desire General] dvd777:
Bil sam noob ali sam si dao truda pa sam pratio tutoriale i nisam uspio ništa sjebat :)

40€ is a great price, enjoy your Desire :highfive:
[Desire General] trey32:
in that way Desire chipset will die soon
[Desire General] issak42:
Could you elaborate please?
[Desire General] trey32:
hmm maybe not, i would, but my english is too bad, but in fact is that desire is the phone which get's very quickly hot and i don't know do ipcamera mode works in low cpu frequencies
[Desire General] 350Rocket:
I don't think it will be a problem. Just because some early desires had motherboard problems and overheated doesn't mean they all do. My friends is almost 3 years old now and his overheated on a hot beach one day on a trip to the south and also on the dash of his truck on a hot day. It survived those and still works flawlessly.
[Desire General] dvsk69:
Absolutely! Desire is one of the best built phones. Rock solid and easy to fix too. We hardly find any such devices these days!
[Desire General] issak42:
Aha thanks, i did think of cooling, i was thinking to take the cover off and stick an old gpu cooler on it. Also ill run the camera in 1 fps with screen off (god i hope this phone allows that!), so it shouldnt be too much for it. If it starts acting funny, ill put a fan on it or something :)

And i can always turn it off during day when not needed.
[Desire General] erklat:
So my One black is lying on the table waiting for Otterbox and protectors to arrive from England. So I'm couple of days more stuck here :D

Glad I managed to get one, Desire is definitely showing it's age, community is not so vivid at all any more so there is not much more to learn. I think I might leave One - stock. Afterall there are no such quirks that plagued our Desire so long ago.
[Desire General] Nbsss:
Nice. Anyone else gonna get the new N7?

Edit: which unlocked android phone has the best battery life? I hardly use my phone so ive decided to go the path of 'tablet talk ' with bluetooth headset and my future n7.
[Desire General] dvsk69:
Welcome to the club. I have my One completely stock running 4.2.2.

No reason for me to root yet. Everything runs butter smooth and no memory issues.
[Desire General] .vermilion:
Yes, I agree! Maybe battery consumption is a bit higher on stock and unrooted Ones... Testing that at the moment.
[Desire General] erklat:
Right, the goodies arrived finally!

I won't be posting here any longer as I'll most likely sell mine as it is in mint condition, I might fetch a good price locally for it.

Don't fool yourself that community is vivid and that it is a good phone. All of those things that matter are long in the past tense, the phone is sluggish compared to low end

devices these days, and I literally couldn't believe how some apps I hated using on Desire and avoided them now fly!

I managed to remain stock for 15 minutes before rooting, gaining s-off and flashing ARHD. But I'm remaining as close to stock as possible, as usual. :D:D

Best of luck to all of you!
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Laters man, have fun with ur new toy :cool:
[Desire General] Androidmarketuser:
Goodbye Desire

So now me too, I buy a new phone, the LG Optimus 4X HD. At the moment it is on sale for only 200€ in MediaMarkt, a german electronics retail chain. Might not be the best phone in the world, but still I think it is pretty ok for the unbeatable price.

I think I won't leave the Desire forums, maybe I give the phone to my father or maybe someone in the forums are interested? I would sell it for ~65€ with an original HTC sleeve (which is pretty good)
[Desire General] alicarbovader:
Well, got my Nexus 7.2 a couple of weeks ago, so not exactly bye bye Desire, as I still don't have another smartphone. but still, I won't be active on Desire forums much, cuz its old now. Keeping it just for messaging and calling :D doing everthing else on my new sexy toy :D
[Desire General] torrice:
bye bye

the time for me to say good bye to my good friend htc desire is here...now i have Alcatel one touch idol.

that's all folks!
[Desire General] lauchaxp:
thx friend!
[Desire General] jmcclue:
There r better ways to get 10 posts rather than saying thanks in radom threads.

Ps: theres a thanks button

I'm getting me a nexus 4, now that the price has dropped to $199 in US, can't resist any longer.. It'll cost me €150 which extremely cheap for those specs..

Greetz
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
You'll love it.
[Desire General] Nbsss:
:(

Wait for the Nexus 5, it's only a month away bro

You'll love it either way though, congrats :)
[Desire General] TimHermans:
Only a month..?
[Desire General] Nbsss:
It's been leaked like crazy which means release is imminent. Previous nexus phones have been announced mid October, from memory. Both are/will be great phones, but that snapdragon 800 is another beast on its own :)
[Desire General] TimHermans:
I've decided to wait for the nexus 5.. Thnx for the tip.. :)
[Desire General] WatsonDue:
I'm waiting for N5 too! I'll regret to buy the N4 now!
[Desire General] TimHermans:
The only doubt I have is the screen size.. I think I'm better with 4" instead of 5", it's still supposed to be a phone if you know what I mean..
[Desire General] WatsonDue:
Some say that N4 and N5 will be very very similar in dimensions.. even if N5 will have a slightly larger screen.

We will see..
[Desire General] Nbsss:
The dimensions of the nexus 5 will be smaller than the n4, due to smaller bezel. The exact dimensions have been leaked somewhere.

Can't wait for kitkat - sadly I'm more of a fanboy than the sheep I saw lining outside for hours at Apple today :(
[Desire General] find7touchpad:
I have my desire for 2 more days then it's off to a new home .I'm using one x 4.2.2 sense 5 and couldn't be happier but desire was great .HTC should have keep it as the flagship phone.
[Desire General] SageNightmare:
Hey,I know this probably isn't the place or anything and everyone is saying goodbye to this phone,but I just got one :/ (living outside of the U.S yay me) anyone here could be kind enough to answer a few questions for me/help a noob a little?
[Desire General] Chromium:
Feel free to post your questions in the q&a section, rather than in this thread. I'm sure you'll get some answers, as long as your question isn't too insane. :p
[Desire General] 0l1v3rof:
Bye bye....

Ive had my desire from almost day one. Until yesterday, it was my main phone! But my new Xperia SP is here, and the desire is now in the draw :(

Its been a good phone over the past couple of years, and has been trundling through.

Bye bye!
[Desire General] senseii:
How are you finding the SP? I am considering making the same move cause my HTC is quite battered up (still working though!).
[Desire General] Nbsss:
Goodbye all, moving to the greener pastures of the nexus 5, just ordered 32gb black.

Hope to see some you there! :)
[Desire General] 0l1v3rof:
Sorry for not replying. I'm finding the SP good. Runs smoothly, no lag and the design is beautiful. Unfortunately it doesn't have a large developer community... but oh well.
[Desire General] senseii:
Thanks for the reply, its true about the developer community. I just got the SP for my wife who loves it, thing is she wants CM on it (should be available soon on get.cm) but wants to keep the stamina mode option.
[Desire General] TanmayTzara:
That Day has finally come. My very first android phone is stepping aside for a new character to play the main role.

Goodbye Desire, live long under my mothers caring touch. LG G2 and I are set for a very first modding stroll...

Great thanks to every contributor that has worked to make it the best phone out there. Without your work, this smartphone would never be as soulful as it was.
[Desire General] snailpon:
Desire was a great phone, but the limited ram is a big problem.

However, I sold this phone. And I suggest that we must buy phone with at least 1G RAM:angel:
[Desire General] k3lcior:
I will be gone soon aswell.. selling it as we speak, getting 1st gen Nexus 7 16gb. Official KitKat.. :good:
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Can i get my GPS Antenna back please?? Haha :cyclops: hopefully still see ya round here :good:
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Man i'm gonna miss your gps antenna. :silly:
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Think this shiet is faster than my desktop pc..

I will still follow progress on k3 and kitkat tho, good luck. :good:
[Desire General] eddiehk6:
My turn to say goodbye to the Desire. 3.5 years old, it's lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. It's actually still alive, but retired peacefully in a drawer :)

I'm another one who never even knew about rooting when I first got the phone, and but found it necessary after the horrific "low space" warning :eek:

Looking back, it's actually a travesty that the phone shipped with that amount of space for an at the time 'flagship'. In a way that I'm glad it did sell with this fatal flaw. As a result I've gradually learnt a lot more about Android, the way it works, and getting the phone exactly how I want it.

I'll still check back here from time to time, I can never leave...I've had the Nexus 5 a week now and all transferred over, happy with my purchase so far. I imagine I'll see a few of you in the forums over there :D

Oh I should get round to writing some sort of guide finally explaining all that internal memory and hboot stuff...
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Get writing that guide, no doubt it will a well detailed one, just like all ur posts ;) see ya around buddy.
[Desire General] Nbsss:
See you in the n5 forums ;)
[Desire General] jmcclue:
I baught a ****** desire and stripped it down and rebuilt my old one now its alive :cyclops: im selling it.... but for now.... let the fun begin, already s-off, rooted within the hour ;)
[Desire General] L1gh7n1ng:
So long old friend.
[Desire General] chichoko:
Mine also fell into the toilet twice... and it's still running and fully functional. It paid off more than its initial price... Old school PVT1 here with the good 'ol AMOLED screen aswell :) Im kinda sad that I'll be replacing it with the Nexus 5 soon... but im frustrated with the Gingerbread experience im getting from it.
[Desire General] alex_hk90:
I've had my Desire since 2010 and it's been great. :) However it's starting to struggle a bit now - battery dying / power issues, not enough memory to install many applications, etc.

What would other ex-Desire users recommend as a similar phone to buy today?

I'm looking for something with good specs (as the Desire had when it came out), that is not too big (I have an S4 for work which is on the large side, though a bit bigger than the Desire would be fine) and which has an active user development community (i.e. custom ROMs / firmware as the Desire had/has).
[Desire General] jmcclue:
HTC Sensation.... ul get a good one for around 120 euro ish, great phone, good hardware, 4.3" slcd and development is good here on xda. Team Venom have released JellyBean Sense 5. I need say no more ;)
[Desire General] alex_hk90:
Thanks for the reply. :) Sensation looks interesting but I'm not sure if they are even sold any more? I probably should have mentioned in my original post I'm looking for something fairly up-to-date as I'm hoping not to have to upgrade for another 2-3 years (this worked with the Desire - paying a bit more at the time but lasting longer).
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Oh rite, erm i dunno really. Depends what ur into, if u like sense then i would recommend the HTC One S or X, both available in shops and great phones as stock and fairly cheap aswell, and development is very good if u want to root it. Depends on how much u wana spend really.
[Desire General] zenmonky:
I just want to lament the retirement of my HTC Desire. As my friends bought new phones every year,or more, my Desire soldiered on. I wish to thank XDA for keeping my Desire fresh and relevent. I loved this phone, as is got older it gain something that that new phones didn't have- character. Scratched, dented, warn, with a funky os from MildWild, it stood out as we tossed our phones on the table at the the lounge, bar or living room. "Get a new phone!", people would laugh. "Why?", I would respond. I had something that was uniquily my own and it rewarded me with decent performance and duribility. I drop this thing weekly and it works excellently. I was hoping to be loyal to her untill there was a cheap chinese clone of Google Glass I could hack. GB is getting to annoy me and a friend is upgrading his Nexus 4 to a 5. He is selling it to me for $150 which is a great deal around here for a phone that is a great deal in the first place. I just cant reasonably refuse. I never thought Id buy an LG but I really belive the 4 to be the new IT phone as the desire was when I bought it in 2010 from a knob for $200 who was going back to a iphone.

so long and thanks for the fish

see you in the nexus4 section
[Desire General] gervinho:
R.I.P desire! what's next?
[Desire General] Grici2701:
CyanogenMod is also working stable, if you want an AOSP like rom :)
[Desire General] dwegener:
Still going strong as a backup phone in case I have to return my HOX+ for service. No farewell yet :)
[Desire General] SaySayonara:
I'm dreaming about the Butterfly S :)

A cheaper alternative would be the One X+
[Desire General] WatsonDue:
After 3 years and 9 months, this is my bye bye to this forum.

I ordered yesterday my new Nexus 5.:laugh:

Almost 4 years of flashing, wiping, s-on, s-off, hboots.. it was funny! My Desire will go to my gf with an old, but stable, GB rom!
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Cya in the N5 section ;)
[Desire General] alex_hk90:
Finally retiring my Desire. :( It's had a good run (over 3 years). :)

Switched to a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact via (briefly) an HTC Sensation XE.
[Desire General] riping:
sorry to hear that :(((

mine battery just have 3 hours charge :((
[Desire General] alex_hk90:
You could try a new battery - I bought one a few months ago that seemed to help for a while (hard to tell though, I didn't explicitly measure the battery life so it could have just been psychological).
[Desire General] molexus:
or just change the phone. maybe it has a short somewhere and it'll kill your new battery as well. :)
[Desire General] 350Rocket:
Probably not.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] rahul_yanina:
I have a new XDA and have bought a brando screen protector.

I was wondering - does the XDA come with a protector anyway?Do I have to take it out before I put in the new one?

How do you guys clean the screen?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] siliconaddict:
WriteSHIELD

I use WriteSHIELDs, the best there is. Oh wait, wasn't that an ad for another type of product :oops: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/ws.asp
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Guest:
Hi

No takers for my other questions?

Thanks for the answer about what to clean with.I will give it a go.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Carlos:
It does not come with a screen protector. The WriteSHIELD is the best by far. I use the cleaning kit that they sell also.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Montanna:
Purchase a cleaning kit, like the one from www.expansys.com and use cotton bud Qtips for the corners and edges.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to request a list of apps from the Android system via ADB Shell, and also in general request a list of system files.

I wanted to use such a feature in my Tool kit (See signature). I'm sure the Google SDK could do such a thing, but I don't have a lot of experience w/ Android (Or in General) Linux shell scripts and/or commands (Except for su, echo, rmdir, mkdir, radiooptions and those easy-as-pie things).

Thanks in advance for great answers!
