phone is locked. so i can't try other sims. Look, if you visit the tmobile thread, their tech staff have posted and said there is an issue. They know there's an issue and they're investigating. It's no ones imagination or location. As i've said, i've moved around london and the uk quite a bit. I find the problem everywhere.

So it's either our particular handsets or something more. I'm happy you have no issues, but don't dismiss those that have. I'm not endorsing the petition, i can just identify with the problem. I'd like T-mobile to address it.
[Desire General] beaker656:
You HAVE to have 3g service to get HSDPA, it is a function of a 3g network. If it wasn't then you've found 2.75g as you got HSDPA in a 2g area if there was no 3g
[Desire General] ninjakettle:
Someone more technical than myself would have to confirm that. All i know is that the phone connects under these different states and displays one of the following...

G - GPRS

E - Edge

3G - 3G

H - HSDPA (or 3.5g as it's sometimes known)

Yes, the last two are under the 3g family, but they must operate under a different..."band"?

I'm saying that when "3G" shows on the screen - nothing. When "H" does, all is well.
[Desire General] paulruk:
I use T-Mobile in London , used it on my G2 and now the Desire. Never had any major issues with it. I often watch you tube on the train home and its generally pretty good until I go in a tunnel.

You dont tend to hang around in tunnels do you?
[Desire General] choccy31:
My phone worked perfectly in Vienna including in the Underground stations and trains. Come back to London / SE same old problems no 3G connection.

Are people actually aware of the issue who are saying it works all ok?
[Desire General] ninjakettle:
Heh, no :)

Thanks for posting though, it's just as interesting to hear people on Desire's and G2's that don't have the issue.

The thing is that i have excellent data connection when on 'H', video's browsing, etc. It's when it dips to 3G that the problem happens. This dip happens more in my office location. I'm listening to the guys who say this could be "canyoning" etc. But it's a puzzler that 'H' from the same spot is perfect, whilst '3g' is dead.

It doesn't affect me hugely as it will always eventually flick over to H, but there's a lot of time wasted, waiting for it to do just that.
[Desire General] sobrique:
I've been Vodafone with a Touch Pro, and it's worked ok. I've checked coverage, it looks good. Seen some complaints re Vodafone, and some re T-Mobile, but am slightly concerned about there being a 'tech problems on T-Mob' petition.
[Desire General] choccy31:
In Vienna I actually got Edge once come up and the rest of the time it was HSDPA and on the odd go 3G (working)
[Desire General] m8te:
I have never had any problem with signal, anywhere I go really. I work in London 9 times out of 10 I look and I have HSDPA. Live in Watford and again it's the same. My mother live in Northampton and again the same thing. The only place I ever have problems is when I'm visiting my sister in Hemel Hempstead, but she does live right near a woods and quite high up on a hill, saying that if I go back outside in her garden it will go up to 3G.
[Desire General] ninjakettle:
I think that's the crucial thing. HSDPA is dandy. I ramble about london on HSDPA fine too. But if the phone does have to knock back to 3g i notice the hiccups.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
I agree. I have absolutely no problems with the T-mobile network. I live in Folkestone and only occasionally go outside Kent but a have never had any of the problems reported.

Whether it is a coverage problem or not I wouldn't like to say but the problem is certainly not universal as is being suggested by some on this forum.

Sign a petition? - No way.

I don't see the point of this type of petition anyway. If you don't like the service you are receiving why not just go elsewhere. Before anyone responds with "I have a 2 year contract". Just remember contracts work both ways. If you are not getting the service you paid for just ask to be released from the contract. I have done this several times in the past and where I have been able to show there is a problem have had no problems getting a release.
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
there is a small group of people on t-mobile forum who have been complaining for ages about 3g. many threads get hijacked and it gets really boring. most users have no problem it seems.

choccy isn't one of the hackers thankfully but those guys really need to realize that networks don't always cover every area well. when I am in my house data coverage is up and down but I am slightly in the sticks in a pretty area on the edge of town (which is nice ; ) and I have WiFi but on the whole it is very good when I am out and about!

the best speed test I have done at home was 1880/756 but the worst is 12/11. I can accept that!

[Desire General] paulruk:
Choccy, I`ve now started having problems with my T-Mobile the last 24 hours in Central/South East London. Left work yesterday and I had no mobile internet connection at all. Tried turning the phone off but still nothing until I was on the train home near London Bridge.

Now back home its stuck on G (GPRS) and never going to HSDPA. Currently getting about 4 k/sec download/upload on speedtest :(

So something is definitely up with the network, going to call T-Mobile later.
[Desire General] holgmaster:
Same issue at my end. SE/Central London works OKish when the Desire goes to H, as soon as it goes to 3G, suddenly all traffic stops and no data is received. Then a few minutes later it goes to GPRS until later trying back on 3G.

I am using last FM to stream music whilst on the go and once on H, it streams fine but when signal drops to 3G no traffic. really annoying.

No such issues in Germany on T-Mobile except the high roaming data bill. :)

H.
[Desire General] paulruk:
Mine is better today in London, flicking between H and 3G and speed ok on both. But I seem to have lost both of them and just have G (gprs) at home which gets a massive 4k/sec download on speedtest. Not good.

Hi there. I hate the preloaded alarm sounds and don't have any real desire to wake to any of my thrash metal mp3's and wondered whether anyone could point me towards an app, or a site, where I might download gentle, soothing, non-music alarm sounds?

Many thanks, in advance. :)

[Desire Accessories] chaos42:
On my previous phones diamond and hero i've used the HTC RC E100 remote. It was quite handy, allowed me to control the music player without getting the phone out of my pocket, and the best thing was i could just use my own headphones!

Unfortunatly it has a mini-usb connector. Now that the desire uses a micro USB connector i am looking for something similiar.

Control for music, volume, phone (incl. mic) and where i can plug in my own headphones.

I just love those in ear headphones and don't want to use the ones that came with the desire.

Does anybody know about a remote that would fit my desire and my needs?

Thanks everyone!

[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Maybe something like these: http://www.lgmobileshop.co.uk/go/ac...10m?NAVID=2DE6D616-3005-BC57-7F4D79DFC6BE490B

Not sure how good/bad they are in terms of quality.
[Desire Accessories] chaos42:
Allthough they are missing those msic control buttons, do you know if it will work with the desire?
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
The Desire uses a standard micro USB (5-pin micro-USB 2.0) connection, I am just thinking whether or not the Desire even supports audio through the USB...

As far as I know, the Nexus One uses a standard Micro-USB connector, which has no audio support. The only way to listen through an amp is Bluetooth or the headphone jack.
[Desire Accessories] chaos42:
thank you for the provided information. as the nexus one and the desire are very similar, i guess the desire will miss the audio support via usb as well. in all other phones where audio via usb was supported, HTC has used a non standard usb port.

i will keep on searching for a remote that plugs in via the headphone jack. if someone has an idea ;)

cheers,

[Desire Accessories] H00pyFr00d:
I think I have a solution.

Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset. A2DP and AVRCP so you get your stereo sound and also utilise audio controls. Plus it has a 3.5mm jack so you can plug in whatever headphones you want.

Google it. I've got one on the way.
[Desire Accessories] adjei7:
I've been looking for head phones too, and these look like the best offer so far. I am a bit worried about the blue tooth running down the battery though. But let me know how you find these. If all the buttons work with the desire I'll probably get myself a set.
[Desire Accessories] n-j-f:
I've been using my Jabra BT3030 and the controls do work. There is a small time lag between pressing a button on the Jabra and it responding.

One good thing I found about the phone (with or without headphones) is that the volume control on the phone works even when the phone has gone to sleep. On my HD2 that didn't happen and it really annoyed me.
[Desire Accessories] adjei7:
So how is the Jabra overall? Worth buying? I've been reading the amazon reviews and some issues have been raised, like the buttons not working with music after you get a call. Do the volume buttons work, and how is the sound quality? Lastly, how bad is it on the battery?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Accessories] chaos42:
i think i will give it a try, the only thing that worries me is the fact that i would have another thing to charge. I was also thinking about soldering a headphone jack into the standard htc remote that came with the phone. i will keep you up to date.

[Desire Accessories] Pyr0x64:
these look interesting, i've been thinking about looking for some headphones with music controls too...

how is the sound quality with the jabra bt3030, is it just as good as having headphones plugged into the phone?

does running bluetooth hammer the phone battery?
[Desire Accessories] leighaus:
yea i like the look of it, the ability to skip tracks without whipping ur phone out seems great. that always annoyed me with the iphone.. but as i listen to music for hours on end at work (Without a charger handy), i wanna know how much the BT will effect battery life?

id imagine it would decline pretty quickly ?
[Desire Accessories] friedgoldmole:
I have a Jabra BT 3030 which I used extensively with my G1 because I hated carrying around a MiniUSB to audio jack lead.

However I haven't even tried it with my Desire, like someone said its just another thing you need to remember to charge, and as the Desire has a headphone socket (and a micro usb) it would mean carry two leads, or an adaptor to keep them both charged.

That said the Jabra has a fairly decent battery life as long as you remember to turn it off when your not using it.

The sound quality is perfectly acceptable for listening to music unless your a real audiophile, though its obviously not as good as a direct connection to the phone.

I was in CPW last week and the guy who was serving me also had a desire, he was using the Nokia Bh-214 (iirc), its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5mm plug. I tried it out and it sounded good, it has full controls including volume. Its around £40 and available

Also, I have been searching about and found the Sony MW-600 its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5 mm jack, it also comes with headphones and has a built in FM radio. Also has full controls, its around £40 and not out till May.

Personally I am going to wait till the Sony one is out, it has positive reviews and i trust Sony more when it comes to music and the like. Just annoying having to wait!
[Desire Accessories] boge:
I am using a cheap BT A2DP, and it works very well. It can be used as BT handsfree or stereo earphone, also has a remote to skip and back the track, that works fine in TuneWiki (but it not for HTC player). The quality of the sound is still far below my KOSS earphone though... but for 26USD and free delivery that thing is really a good deal.

This is the link, but I just found out that is sold out at this moment.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12286.

They have another one, almost the same spec but I don't know whether it works as good as the other one.

[Desire Accessories] Dvanen:
I just finished soldering a headphone jack into the standard htc remote that came with the phone. Had a head set from an SE music phone, and the earphone bit fits the length perfect, and there's no sound loss that I can hear from the soldering... Will post pictures soon... But there's two cords in every channel.

channel one have a blue cord and a green/copper cord.

Channel two red channel and a copper channel.

In the headphone jack there's a right, left and a 'ground' channel. The (green/copper) and (copper) channels go together on the 'ground' channel and are isolated by isolationtape from the other channels, and then blue and red on each connecttor, I don't know what side so I might have right channel going out the left ear piece, but do not care right now, I have great sound and full remote control...

Good plan, I was going to go the soldering route myself when I manage to slip out and grab a jack. The remote unit is useful but the supplied earphones are utterly, utterly dire compared to the SE ones I'm used to.
[Desire Accessories] H00pyFr00d:
I have a funny thing going on.

Jabra BT3030 worked fine after a pairing however is slightly laggy when using HTC's music player.

I found if you install TuneWiki you can enable this for A2DP instead and it's much more responsive however when making calls the music player fades out and the call happens on the headset but when receiving calls the music fades out again but the call is on the phone speaker as default.

Any thoughts?
[Desire Accessories] chaos42:
Thank you for sharing your experience, i think i will go for the soldering solution as well, it seems to fit my need best. The cost are minimal and i don't have to take care about haveing my headphones charged.

Just a glitch with my Jabra BT3030. It's working fine now and the battery lasts forever. I just need to get some shorter headphones for it now.

Anyone got any experience with these Bluetooth car kits? I was looking at one that uses A2DP to play the music or phone calls via your phone and can also stream music to your car stereo via radio like the iTrips do.
[Desire Accessories] schmappel:
The HTC RC E100 sure looks nice... No way of converting that extUSB to a trrs 3,5 jack, huh?
[Desire Accessories] ingenious:
I'm really interested by this Jabra Clipper thingie. But I'm confused - one review said it was constantly dropping the signal, another one said connection was solid. I guess it depends on the phone. So:

1) How's the connection quality? Does it drop often?

2) Do the prev/next track functions work on the Desire?

Thanks a million!

BTW, same questions for the Sony MW600, plus:

3) Does is display the track title and caller ID with any music player?
[Desire Accessories] philje123:
I have been using my Jabra BT3030 for many months now. I used it on my G1 and now on my Desire.

It has been excellent.

The sound quality is very good- Not quite as good as through headphones (if you are in a very quiet environment you can hear a slight hiss when there is no sounds playing) but very very good sound besides that.

The battery life of both the headset and the phone are very good. I can usually get three days use out of them (about 2 hours a day ish) and the phone battery lasts very well (bluetooth is a very low power wireless transmission hence the 10m range).

I have never had the connection drop out on either the G1 or the Desire! The only problems I had were on the G1 where it would sometimes stutter with the phone in standby but think that was specific to the phone as I have had no stutters on the Desire.

The music controls works seamlessly with the Desire. You can pause/resume and skip forward/back. As said there is a slight delay between pressing the button and the phone skipping but it really is nothing.

I also use my desire on the car stereo that has bluetooth and that works very well. I can skip the track forward/back with the steering wheel controls. Also if I use the sat nav the sound plays through the stereo and can still skip the tracks.

[Desire Accessories] H00pyFr00d:
I have the Motorola car kit as it did slightly better in reviews. It's a bit scratchy when playing music through the radio speakers though but I think this is a common problem. Track skip buttons work fine though.
[Desire Accessories] rak500:
I wouldn't bother paying too much really, BT headsets are good, but it's yet another thing to charge and it comes with another set of flaws...

I thought about the BT solution and when I got the phone, I tested the HTC headphones on my pc, hifi and and ipod and it was working fine even with the four ring jack, so I just cut the headphones off and soldered them onto my audio technica headphones: fantastic quality (thanks audio-technica ath-es7) and I got remote control too...

get a soldering iron, it'll probably be cheaper and you get exactly what you want... and if you want to adapt in-hear headphones, you can just put a jack on the cable just as Dvanen did...

I have a question - on the BT3030 you can redial to the last number you called by double pressing the call button. Does anyone using Froyo (I'm not) know if this headset can be used with voice dialling? How about the new google voice actions?

Is there anyone who has used both the BT3030 and the SE MW600 on the Desire? I am looking to get a headset and would like the opinion of an informed user. I am currently biased towards the SE MW600 due to the FM Radio and OLED Display but the final decision would be based on primarly functionality such as ease and quality of connection to phone and responsiveness of device to remote controls.

Wondering if you lot could help me.

I’m working on a mobile app, on one of the screens there is a box for the customer to “sign”, but if the customers signature have a horizontal stroke in it, it causes the app to move to the next screen.

This only appears to be happening on WM6.5, what is this feature, I first thought it was TouchFlo but I have disabled all that, so is it something within Windows and is there a reg hack or way to disable it within settings.

Your help is much appreciated.

[Touch2 ROM Development] Johan Kraczmar:
If you want to localize ROM , then you need original localize files (LANG 0405) for CZ for all installed application.

For example :

In folder COMMON is AdobeFlash

In filder 0405 is AdobeFlash_LANG_0405

So if you want to use dumped rom you have to extract language files plus you have to have system localize which is in file initflashfiles-dat-all-langs-updated-feb-24-2010.zip (I sow it somewhere on XDA)

With this one you are able to cook localize ROM.

Good luck ( I become to be crazy whit localize, because I am finding more and more thinks to do :D )

if no suggestions, then its OK, the important thing that it will work, at least for Calls, Text messages, and IM.
