Got it from your local dealer? Does it have Baltic languages aswell? Not that i care, my phones are always on english.

I see they have added us(Baltics) in locale. On Hero sold here there were only the first five. I was hoping we get the Nordic one, but yeh... Eastern europe makes sense. But why not other countries then?

I really dislike the segmented markets and versions in technological devices...

i bought mine uk and it only has english, english (irish), french, itallian and spannish.

desire test

i would like to test on Desire this:

Outlook contacts + calendar

-sync with Desire over the microUSB cable. does the Outlook Calendar + Condatcs sync without data being transferred to Google Gmail/Google Calendar and so on ?

- does the Sync happen automatically (like ActiveSync with Windows Mobile devices) on background in Windows XP/7 ... or do you have to start anything manually after you plug in the device ?

Browser with integrated flash video player:

- could you open www.youtube.com on the integrated google web browser and try to play videos in 360, 480, 720p ?

SD card:

- is the Desire shipped with SD card, or without ?

LCD Screen:

- does it glare a lot on sunlight ?

- is there any screen protector shipped with Desire ?

------

sorry it's not ROM cooking related, but i would be interested anyway, if you find the time to test and answer :)
[Desire General] ziao:
Outlook contacts + calendar

-I know that the syncing is possible and you can set it to automatic, but not if its pushed through to G-Apps, i think not though

Browser with integrated flash video player:

- When you go to the regular youtube website, and the flashplayer is loaded, you see a big play button (no bar on the bottom). When you hit it, the youtube app pops up and plays your video. Good news though: theres an option for high quality video in there, which imo gives perfect quality (and i have high standards)

SD card:

- Mine came with a class 2 4GB microsd, already in the phone (so htc put it there, all desire's should have one)

LCD Screen:

- I did notice in the bus today that its very reflective, but if you up the brightness to 100%, theres no problem at all.

- No, but you can buy them off ebay, theres a supplier in the UK that has an unending supply of 6packs for about 2 euro

* Note: it's not an LCD screen, but an amoled one

Also for anybody who's interested:

Due to the nature of the screen and the fact htc & google ignore websafe colors, some shades of grey look a little pinkish. Its not at all anoying or ugly, and its barely noticable. Still, its there.

Hope this helped you,

Nick
[Desire General] clovek1:
thanks for the answers.

i do have a HTC Diamond and really think about a HTC Desire. But i am still not decided yet.
[Desire General] ziao:
I went from the Diamond to the Magic (second android phone) and never looked back. Seriously, once you've tried android, you will wonder how you could ever live with WM.

Try borrowing a device from a friend or ask for a demo in a store?
[Desire General] tsimpoyris:
Desire owns

Clovek1 I had a diamond too and yesterday I got the Desire...Man let me tell you, it's a huge step forward.

The only thing bellow "great" is the camera but I don't really care. The interface is fantastic and the speed of the thing is really amazing.

I have the same problem with the locales, as it displays only 6(the greek language isn't there), but I got MoreLocale 2.

Also I can't see the paid apps as they're not supported in Greece atm.
[Desire General] clovek1:
i am using Outlook Calendar synchronization in my office quite often (daily). The Google Calendar is blocked in my company, for security reasons.

Therefore i would like to be sure, that the synchronization really works.

btw. how do you transfer your contacts from Windows Mobile to Android ? Through Outlook ?
[Desire General] clovek1:
I tried HTC Hero recently (borrowed for a short time). It was quite fast compared with Diamond.
[Desire General] vfrvulcan:
It depends on the version of Exchange being used by your company.

Exchange 2007 is syncing calendar just fine but Exchange 2010 has a problem in that it initially syncs but then generates an error that causes all mail/contact sync to fail (stop syncing calendar and mail/contacts sync fine again). I can't vouch for Exchange 2003 as I don't know anybody using it with Android.

Having just moved from WinMo to Android the contacts migration is seamless - you're talking to an Exchange Server, give it the right credentials and all your contacts and mail will flow sweetly. My old Kaiser hasn't been plugged in to a PC to Sync ever - and neither will the Desire. Why, when it can all be done over the air via Exchange.

Now if only Tasks would be supported as standard without having to buy something extra.

Rgds

Aaron
[Desire General] XDAgeek:
Yes there appears to be a problem with Exchange 2010. When the Desire arrived here, I was still connecting successfully to Exchange 2003. Since then we have upgraded to Exchange 2010, and Calendar sync now fails. As you say, it fails badly enough to stall mail and contacts sync too.

By disabling Calendar sync on the phone, mail and contacts then sync nicely. Enable Calendar sync, and if your Exchange is 2010, it al goes wrong.

I note you are syncing fine to Exchange 2007, so this must be a weakness with Exchange 2010, but it is hard to blame the Exchange server, as my iPods/iPhones sync just fine with Exchange 2010.

So in summary, there appears to be a show-stopper sync error on HTC Sense Exchange 2010 support which thwarts Calendar sync. Here's hoping there is a fix for this shortly, as the Desire becomes a no-go for corporates until this is sorted.
[Desire General] ascot17:
Have a look here: http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how-does-it-work-

This is a 3-stage process. You need an application for your old phone, one for your pc and one for the new phone (you also need NET framework 3.5 on your pc). I have done the first 2 stages so far and am just waiting for my desire to arrive to try stage 3...
[Desire General] clovek1:
- thanks for a nice software for contacts migration

- i was unable to configure the direct Exchange access (may it's blocked on purpose, only thing that works for me is OWA access in a browser) on my Windows Mobile (HTC Diamond) at all, and therefore i sync always with MS Outlook.

As far as i know, there is the HTC Sync software, which should make it possible to sync Calendar and Contacts between Desire <-> MS Outlook.
[Desire General] clovek1:
I got the Desire today.

OMG is sooo fast compared to HTC diamond.

the capacitive display is a bit hyperactive, i must learn how to use it.

HTC Sync works well with Contatcs in Outlook (thats the way i transferred contacts from Windows mobile)

i have to check how it works in my work with calendar.

the flash works, but it's often too slow to play reasonably fast (i am not talking about youtube).

i don't know, how to set up the GPS, that it turns automatically on in Google Maps and turns off, if Google Maps goes to background. is something like that possible ?
[Desire General] dpk:
I think it disconnects the GPS if an app that requires it isn't running, but aslong as it is turned on in the settings, then it will use it, but it probably uses up battery life? I'm not 100% sure.

If you go into Settings->Location->Use GPS satellites

But I find it easier to have a GPS widget toggle on one of my homescreens, hope that helps, and enjoy your Desire :)
[Desire General] Ghisy:
I've switched from English (France) to English (United States) but I'm not sure I see any difference?

Also it seems like the scrolling between screens is lagging a little bit after the locale change. Has anyone experienced that?
[Desire General] clovek1:
unfortunately i have synchronization issue with my MS Windows XP at work.

the device is recognized by Windows, but the PC Synchronization application in Desire ends up with Synchronization status : Disconnected.

I find this a serious issues, as i was used to synchronize the Windows Mobile on daily basis with Outlook Calendar.
[Desire General] irkan:
install the sync app that came in the memory card that came with the device, i reckon that it installs the drivers too
[Desire General] clovek1:
i have installed the sync app that came on the memory card.

it has installed the driver.

device is recognized and driver loaded in Device manager.

HTC sync doesn't recognize my Desire anyway. And Synchronization doesn't work.

the issue is, that my Desire is recognized as USB Mass Storage device. Even if the "HTC Sync" is selected in "USB connection type"
[Desire General] clovek1:
problem solved. i have used an old version of HTC Sync without being aware of it.
[Desire General] samac92:
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have the nexus one launcher on the desire? I am getting the desire in the next few days and would like to swap the bar at the bottom of the home screens for the one on the nexus, and also have the 3D app drawer.

thanks
[Desire General] xfile087:
Yep you can install it fine but the fancy HTC widgets and 7 home screens won't work obviously.
[Desire General] waynefield:
Can you tell me if there's a way to change the picture that comes up on the screen for an unknown caller? Also, is there a way to keep the LED light on when in a coverage area or for bluetooth connection?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pol18:
Why there isn't bluetooth working in any rom i've tried?

i mean..i can't pairing phone-pc or phone-phone...why??? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
I assume you've tried some cupcake ROMs (like Modaco) and not just eclair ROMs? Eclair will continue to have bluetooth issues until we get the official update from HTC.

That being said, I haven't had much in the way of problems with bluetooth, running VillainROM 5.1.

Are you able to scan for devices? What happens when you try and pair? Do you get any errors?

(I'd be willing to bet it's a hardware problem, but maybe not...)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pol18:
no, i haven't try with cupcake xD

With 2.1 rom's i can find device but medieval bluetooth transfer give me an uuid error...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
Try it with a cupcake ROM. I recommend Modaco. If it works in cupcake, it'll probably work once we have the HTC eclair update.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cyberwizzard:
Ignore me if I'm being silly but didn't the 1.x branch of Android come with BlueZ 3.x and an incomplete bluetooth stack (as in: missing features like the ones needed for OBEX file transfer?).

If so, I'd reckon you need 2.x to get BlueZ 4.x, working file transfers (please tell me they *did* add that in the 2.x series) but unless the bluetooth drivers are fully functional you will end up with the other half of the equation... Which would bring the problem back to the much needed HTC upgrade...

Update: I just found out what Medieval is and found the following on their help page:

So I still might be right... Or it is a completely different problem...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
OK, if the medieval help page says that, then it definitely won't work until we have an official ROM from HTC. All our current ROMs, both cupcake and eclair, use the cupcake bluetooth drivers. When we have the update, the OP's chances are much better that his device will work.

Lol, I believe you, how about taking off the photo stock and adding the Gallery3D - I think people like that better, or course as long as it works fast with no lags and that can do landscape without issues or escaping from it without crashing the phone :) I am sure you know what I mean.

Ohh now that we are talking about ASOP, anyway to get the Android KB on this :) OMG that would be the blast, it can make this ROM unique from the others. :)

Just realized this a couple of days ago. After seeing that there are available app updates in the market, I found out that the Market notification icon shown on topmost bar isn't showing.

Also the sync icon that I enable using the power widget isn't also there. It's been a week now.

I installed metamorph mod desire notification bar found here

Anyone else experiencing this? Is this problem related to flashing the mod status bar?

Hi,

If I transfer music files to the Desire which are organised into seperate folders (directories) can I browse the music by this folder structure on the music player or can I only browse the music via Album/Artist/Genre tags etc that are embedded in the music files?

Thanks.
[Desire General] pphillips001:
It'll probably depend on the app you use to play the music. They either work one way or the other. The basic Sense player sorts it by artist/album etc.

I am using the ATT Tilt 2.

Because of Windows Mobile stupid memory leaks, every morning I soft reset my device so it clears out the memory leaks and performs well.

Is there any simple program/fix that does not waste resources that will automatically softreset at a specified time?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DebbieNY13:
You haven't indicated what ROM you are using, so I'm assuming it's the AT&T stock ROM. You may do better flashing a custom ROM. I couldn't wait to get the Stock ROM off of mine. Lots to read here (Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development), so it's best if you start here: Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs) .

I'm doing well with the one in my signature right now, so I haven't flashed to the newer version yet.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
I don't know any auto-reset apps, but have you already run the dynamic memory allocation cab (attached below)? It can make a huge difference in how winmo releases memory that isn't being used...the native settings for that don't let you get your memory back once an app is done with some of it, at least not anywhere near enough

[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
It's hard to say because it seems like a 50/50 thing. Some us don't have ANY problems with it out of the box and for those who did have problems most were fixed by flashing a new ROM. I didn't have a problem with it stock, but after flashing Kumar's ROM it worked sooooo much better and it's faster too. So I say take a chance and return it if it doesn't work out for you because really this phone is AWESOME IMOH!

Hi everyone.

I'm hoping someone can help me. I recently recieved my X10 and was setting everything to my liking when i accidentaly entered the wrong pin in the security section. Now it's telling me "SIM card PUK-locked" i'm a bit stuck.

At no point have i tried to put the PUK in so my sim can't be completely fried and infact i don't know where to put the PUK in because there's no option for it.

I'd rather not have to get a new sim card (Like the nice lady at Vodafone customer services suggested) so i'm hoping someone can solve my problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afhstingray:
