put it in a pouch.

Just cos there's no keys, pens etc. in your pocket, does not mean there's no fluff, grit or something else in there that will scratch the screen when it's pressed against your leg. all it takes is a tiny particle of grit or sand to get between the lining of your pocket and the screen and it'll scratch it to buggery!
[Desire General] Quazar0:
I put an old Hero screen protector on mine, its covered the main screen portion but not the bezel area, waiting on my official screen protector though!
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
lets hope zagg release their invisible shield soon. those things are awesome!

I am going to try buy these official screen protectors

[Desire General] Starfury:
I thought it had the same glass screen as the HD2?

They have uploaded video of someone using keys and knives on an HD2 screen to try and scratch it and have failed...
[Desire General] hrcro:
@leoni1980

You had hd2 if I remember correctly?

I consider buying desire, could you compare overall build quality of this two devices? Also, is call quality in desire better than hd 2?

One more question:

In a phone call, does proximity sensor works like one on hd2 or iphone? Or do you must turn the screen on/off manualy?

Thanks.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
The screen turns off when you lift the phone to your face in a call, and turns back on when you bring it down.
[Desire General] leoni1980:
The build quality is as good I think, although this opinion is somewhat tainted by the fact that under the same circumstances my HD2 never developed a single scratch or scuff. I have a few tiny nicks on my camera lens already which is incredibly annoying since it is literally just 11 days of usage....one would expect a phone kept purely in a trouser pocket on its own to endure longer than a week and a half before developing marks.....

I'm really quite put off by this. When I get my replacement it'll be going straight in a gel case, though lord knows what I will use to protect the lens (which is clearly very susceptible to damage).
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
This is why I always say: use a pouch and use a screen protector! And e.g. when placing the phone on a hard surface, use the pouch as protection (read: put the phone on top of the pouch or keep the phone inside the pouch).

Mobiles are becoming disposable objects more and more. People use them for two years and then get rid of them (in the garbage bin). So not all people care about scratches etc. They will probably think the pouch and screen protector is nonsense.

Btw, getting a scratch doesn't nescecarily say something about the quality of the phone. In my experience getting a scratch on the phone is usually just bad luck. E.g. I had my Omnia for half a year, no scratches whatsoever. And my Hero was scratched the first week (even when I am so carefull with my stuff). Build quality of the Hero is much better than the Omnia imho (Omnia is all plastic, and chrome paint etc usually damages quickly). It only takes one silly moment to get a scratch unfortunately.

I always sell my phones after some time, every scratch is less value! :D
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Guys Guys...It's a phone, scratch the baby up a bit let her live a little, all you are doing is keeping it tidy for the next owner, my phones are f**ked by the time the next all singing handset comes out so it gives me an excuse to buy the next one.

You might get 50 quid less by sending it off to envirofone or whatever but who cares it's only a phone and does not need leather fluffy cases :)
[Desire General] profet:
ronnyuk, you took the words out of my mouth. Spending time opening cases or sliding in and out of a pouch isnt worth it. Get past the first few scratches and then you can enjoy you phone without the worry. No scratches on mine yet though. Somehow I don't think the desire is going to stand up to what my touch pro went through. That was one seriously tough phone. I have dents in my wall from that baby.
[Desire General] gogol:
RaptorRVL,

Did you specifically buy a pouch for your HTC Desire?

Or is it a used one from your other device?

If possible, let me know which one and where did you buy the pouch.

As I noted above, I got simple and nice soft-leather pouch from Fommy.co.uk, but if your pouch is nicer I will change :)
[Desire General] RaymondScrott:
The Desire screen is certainly alot harder than the Touch HD due, I assume, to the different technologies. Thus I am hoping to get away without a protective screen - which I could never seem to get on the HD perfectly.

I was just wondering though whether, if the worst came to the worst, and my Desire does get scratched can you use a Displex ( http://www.displex.com ) type scratch remover? Worked very well on my early non-touch screen phones but clearly would not on the soft finish of the HD.

Anyone know whether OK on the capacactive Desire screen - still have half a tube left?
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
I got this one :

http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160415564575&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

It's super cheap, 4 euros. It's for the nexus but fits the Desire very nicely (same size). Perhaps it could have been a few mm longer, that would have been perfect (little bit more protection at the top). But I guess it will all stretch a bit since its neoprene.

Can take a picture tomorrow with the Desire in if you want.
[Desire General] ziao:
I'd like to see a pic of it if possible, as I've ordered it too but shipping takes quite a while.

Thanks :)

[Desire General] flogger:
When I got my HTC HD, in the box were a screen protector and a pouch. Are you saying Desire doesn't come with any of this?

So which pouch is better?

This one (ht tp://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.asp?divid=Google&cat=Cases&skuno=82280) that was mentioned earlier looks nicer but does it really fit well?

And about the Martin Fields screen protector, well looks they are good but none available to Desire yet....

invisible shield

Think I have seen a product called "invisible shield". Seem to make your device really super strong?? you can google for info.
[Desire General] vdude_1:
That's a very good looking pouch. Think I might have to invest :)
[Desire General] ChesterZZ:
I looked today on my Desire and I saw a 1cm long scratch on the dsplay :mad: No idea from where, or how did it happen... Its not really visible though, but I rather ordered an InvisibleShield and a pouch.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Hi guys,

First of all, I am the same as most of you, very pedantic and uptight about damaging my new 485euro phone. However, lets not lose sight of the fact it is just a phone and meant to be used.

I think Jeans pockets are seriously dangerous. any piece of sand(silicon/glass) can seriously damage your phone screen like a diamond through butter. So I would never just put a phone in my pocket, even an empty jeans pocket.

I am not keen on screen protectors myself. I used them on my Nokia, but the screen on the Desire is much too salburious to cover it with anything. So I bought a high quality microfibre optical grade pouch. Not some $1.99 hong kong pouch but a proper 100% microfibre pouch. It fits the desire perfectly and snugly and now I know the phone is protected inside my empty pockets against any grit. It also means I can put the phone down on the pouch or in it without scratching the camera cover either.

This is the one I got. It's very high quality material. And yes I am very picky and have several microfibre cloths so I know good quality versus muck.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tuff-Luv-Micr..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item5639a0e12d

I will look after the phone and keep it in this pouch and I'll see how I get on. but at the end of the day, a phone is a disposable item. 2 years would be very good use out of a phone so don't get too hung up. It's not for life. :P

(I noticed a speck of dust under my glass too... one speck.. ah well... worse or better than a scratch, who knows. These are the breaks :) )

It's a wonderful phone. Enjoy it.
[Desire General] nicelad_uk:
Have any of you ever thought that putting a phone in a pouch is just as risky as putting it in your pocket? What if you get sand or dirt in the pouch like you would your jeans? Same effect...

Not had a problem yet with mine and always keep it in my pocket. I have been looking for a nice leather case like the blackberry ones for mine though.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
It's much more likely to get sand and stuff in your pockets of your trouser than in the pouch.

I usually think of a screen protector to protect the area I really don't want scratched (the screen yes! :D ). And a pouch is very good against falling damage etc.
[Desire General] rovex:
Had my HD2 since launch day and its not got a scratch on it. Im guessing the desire will be just a tough.

Personally i think 'invisible shields' ruin a phone. They look horrible, even when applied well, and are a pain to remove. You basically protect the phone from scratches by covering it in ugly shiny plastic that chips and flakes off.

Currently im using the pouch that came with the HD2 to protect the Desire, its a bit loose, but that's fine, it just means any grit isnt pressed hard against the screen.
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
I bought this one and it fits perfectly with the Desire :D

http://www.proporta.it/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4970&t_mode=des

there's also other color and models, just look around the site.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I have indeed thought of this. I washed the pouch inside out when I got it and air dryed it. I will check it periodically to make sure no foreign objects get into it. I think its safer than just pocket though
[Desire General] nicelad_uk:
True, and I think and prevention is a good idea.

I wash my trousers / jeans after I wear them though, can't say the same I've ever done that for a pouch! :D

I would like a leather case, but its just finding a decent one.

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this, but i just had about 3hrs of "Did i really Jack this Up"... Not sure if this will go for everybody but its what i found out, a "Tip" i would call it.

If you have used the Nandroid backup (for safety) of cuz your like me and hate redownloading everything and customizing your home screens again, and you've ran into this error when trying to "Restore" from Recovery.

"Error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb"

I did this and followed some steps online to do so, and then the boot screen would just keep reloading and never get thru...

Foundout, after you save your rom, and connect via usb to pc, and go into your "nandroid" folder, then choose the HT***** folder it will have your Back up, minez started with B******, i changed that name (i.e. manup - Eclair 2.1) so that i can easily choose which rom i wanted to run. well if there is any spaces in the "Name" of your Back-Up, you will get the "Error" listed above, i renamed the folder from; manup - Eclair 2.1 to manup-Eclair2.1 and then booted into recovery via device, and the Nandroid Restore worked perfectly fine, i tested this theory with two other roms i had in my nandroid back up and my theory was correct... so all in all, if you change the folder that has your "Back'd UP" info in it, dont put spaces in the new folder name.

[Desire General] peterkupcek:
Hi all,

I got my Desire yesterday. It is a gorgeous device, but has one fatal flaw. The POP/IMAP manual e-mail setup in HTC mail is not working.

Gmail or Hotmail work fine - there is no need for a manual setup, the phone does it for you.

But Yahoo, or any other custom mail does not work. When setting up the incoming and outgoing mail server, the phone gets stuck at the incoming mail server setting and doesn't advance to the outgoing server setting as it should.

After you set up the incoming mail server you hit next and the phone checks online and a popup says "Verifying account settings". After this is done, I believe it should advance to outgoing server settings, but it doesn't and gets stuck at the incoming server settings screen...

This is a very fatal mistake and problem - one of the main functions of a smartphone not working... :mad:

Can you guys see if it works for you - maybe its only my unit that is faulty?
[Desire General] EroThraX:
I got it set it up on my University IMAP fine, I had this issue but just had to change the security type to TSL.
[Desire General] peterkupcek:
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me...

It is very weird, as the same settings worked with K-9 mail app without any issues...
[Desire General] HoneyBeFly:

[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
I can't get it to sign in to gmail. :( I have a @googlemail account, and it just fails to verify account information every time. All other mail accounts, Hotmail and proper POP3, work fine.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
That's cause you use the Gmail app for Googlemail, not the normal mail app
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
I prefer to use the HTC mail widget. Anyway, I got the thing going now, by connecting via imap instead.
[Desire General] peterkupcek:
I'm in touch with HTC customer service and we're trying to figure out what is wrong. I'll set up a test account for them so that they can test it and see why the e-mail is not being set-up. Will update later...

[Desire General] thebarsteward:
Have you tried using the stock Android mail app which can be found here:

http://rhedgehog.com/apk/email.apk

I prefer this to the HTC Sense mail app and its much more flexible/configurable during the set-up phase, I had problems with my Uni account swapped to this and no problems since then using IMAP, POP and SMTP
[Desire General] Jesper_L:
I also have difficulties getting IMAP+SSL to work with the HTC mail application.

I suspect it has something to do with the certificate. The server I'm trying to connect to doesn't have a verified certificate, and you don't get prompted to accept the certificate, as you do if you use the K-9 mail app.
[Desire General] samikk:
I had same kind of problems with Hero after upgrading to android 2.1.

Problem seems to be related to setup procedure. It is not able to prompt certificate acceptance dialog. But if you setup account with address that is not existing or where is not imaps service running it will say that it can't verify account but you are able to continue. After creating account launch mail application, go to settings and put real server name. At this point it will prompt certificate acceptance dialog and after that it is working.
