HTC 500 Desire One SIM

1.20

CWM and SU 1.65

Always happens to me with phone off.

Iinserting the charging, phone starts and enters the CWM directly.

Even if I turn off phone while it is charging it's reboot and go into CWM.

Is there anything I can do?

It's fixable?

Tx in advance.

Radio Fm app

I purchased a HTC Desire 500 and i experienced an issue regarding my Fm Radio app, the sound is always mono, on every radio station, so i ask if you have the same problem or can i fix this with some help from you guys, couse i do not have a stereo effect and the beats audio is not turned on on radio.

I have to mention that i have full signal on my radio stations, so i have to exclude that the mono sound is from low signals.

If there is any other application, i didnt root my phone (yet).

The other old htc, wildfire has stereo sound on my earphones.

Thank you.

So I just received message from HTC that they don't know if they will update this phone :(

I say we should start to spam their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HTC?fref=ts

I asked them there too, but they actually did not answer.

To me it seems very stupid. I found that this device was released in August with 4.1.2 and will not receive at least one single update to 4.2? I think we should do something.

Desire 500 - microphone problems

Hi, perhaps i got a lemon, wanted to know if anyone else is have these issues with the 500.

seems that the microphone doesn't change modes when trying to record video for example, which results in a very muffled non-audible sounds when trying to playback.

it seems to be able to change modes with no issues, when using the speaker phone for example (ppl on the other side hear me great). but when trying to record video it is like the mic is still in regular call mode, only picking up noises that are very close to the mic (few cm), or very loud ambient sounds...

would like to know if anyone else, has encountered any mic sensitivity issues with the 500...

Not properly rooted.

Hello,

First of all thanks everyone to suggest me to this thread. I am having HTC Desire 500 Dual Sim which i tried to root as per the instructions by extremehightech (youtube video on how to root), but during the process of recovery my phone shut down due to some reasons. Now after several tries it has started but not doing that well as before. I am unable to get Hboot screen by pressing power button and volume down. I ve got rootchecker downloaded its says that rooting is improper. Can the rooting process be started from beginning, the phones bootloader is unlocked during the rooting process. If possible let me know the best possible way to get my phone working. Thanks

Heys guyz, i need your help, today i've got a WiMax portable router. it's cool and all, but silly me i tried using the charger from the router wich is 2.1 amps on my desire 500, it's the same microusb plug.

[HTC Desire 500] MadaraOP:
anyone?
[HTC Desire 500] DocOmegaWeapon:
I am sure that most of the Android devices will get Lollypop update, because Googles main goal was to make the new Android smoother and cleaner and to reduce battery usage. As of that Android 5.0 will not require a superphone to run it so manufacturers can safely release this version to lower end devices too.

I have an image of HTC's plans about updating plans. (search: HTC Desire 500 4.4 update)

They are planning on releasing it to all devices in the list (even if Desire 500 is not there).

They cancelled releasing Sense 6 since Android 5.0 is here so soon but they will be updated.

I would be the happiest if i could get a stock non-HTC-sense version of android 5.0. :victory:

So guys I´we contacted HTC support for my country (Czech rep.) and after a few minutes of waiting, cause there were "trying to get information about my question", was "we dont know" (The question was, if they have ANY INFO about ANY UPDATE for desire 500)

They told me, that its up to developers and they will get any ifo as soon, as developers release any . So they cant even tell, if they are actually planing any update, nor if they are working on any update or whatsoever...

I don't get it. I had the chance to pick any Android device, with Android representing freedom and the possibility of customization.

It's still a slick device, but the lack of support for upgrades from HTC and the lack of custom ROMs is killing me. Especially as I'm rocking the latest Android version on my 3 years old Galaxy Player 5.0. I'll make sure never to come back to HTC once I get rid of this one. [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]

Different devices come with different hardware components, such as the camera or sound "chips". Those require special drivers, which are in most cases proprietary and not part of AOSP (which is the "Android base code").

This means, each ROM must include device specific code, and thus is specific to the device it is created for.
