Same here. I bought my uni recently as my main device, and it's fine. Big and heavy, but with great keyboard, powerfull and just... I don't really like this whole "cool, and slim, and whooooah finger friendly devices" thing. But in my case I usually message instead of calling (It's just that I prefer to), therefore the size doesn't bother me this much.

Also, I had some other big devices in past (i.e. blue angel - not as big as uni, but still big) so it's not really anything new for me.

Only thing that bothers me for now is battery life time. Yesterday I drained about 60% of my uni battery browsing internet for 2h via wifi. I was kind of shocked to be honest - my 15,4 notebook would last for 3h at least. I know uni sucks when comes to battery life time, but seriosuly, 2h for a mobile device?

I'm going to change rom and radio (back to 1.15), and also try some other tricks from xda-dev. Hope it will help.

The other option (and most probable one) is that the seller "battery is fine and can last for a few days" was a lie, and battery is just kind of dead.

Also, greetings for xda-dev, as it's my first post here (I'm not new in terms of registration time though ;])

2hrs internet browsing seems to be reasonable - i think i've managed to browse 2h30min-3hrs with my new battery. Even on Nokia, batteries drain fast when browsing the web this much especially heavily loaded pages.

I'm using my Universal as a primary mobile phone, 24/7 in my pocket, with 3200 mah battery, no problems for me :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] genspeed:
I use my Uni in Internet browsing and watching movies. With WoW SRS + good headphones, i feel like watching in a theater.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mc_fish:
why???

i love it because of the 3.7":D

internal storage?open for discussion

i would prefer a sd card instead of the micro sd...because of digital cameras(compact and SLRs) etc

but the biggest must have is the EXCELLENT 62key keyboard(the same if possible)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
And I would prefer micro SD. Why? Because it can fit into any other device either by itself or with adaptor to take it to full SD size. SD, on the other hand, cannot be reduced to the size of micro SD and therefore will be useless in anything else other than SD device. At this point my Uni and Magician are the only full SD devices.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mc_fish:
its small, its unpractical, it has smaller capacity and you dont have the adapter always by hand...where are the pros? its inside the phone so you dont see it... = the form factor for you doesn't meter, but someone who changes the cards often...its a totally different story
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ethania:
There's a black theme for CoPilot 8 floting around in the HTC HD2 forum.

I'd like to get that theme to work on my Desire.

Is there a way to make it happen? I have tried the theme and CoPilot shows the message " extracting theme" but there is nowere I can choos to use it.

Anyone have an ide'?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ethania:
Doesn't anyone use Copilot 8?
[Desire Themes and Apps] samsanchez88:
I'm using copilot 8 but i havn't looked into themes so i can't help!
[Desire Themes and Apps] el rock:
I have HTC Desire and can't install CoPilot 8. Something about the program code. Is there a workaround for this or I have to wait for a release compatible with Android 2.1?

Tomtom doesn't run on it either!
[Desire Themes and Apps] mouth:
Works fine for me, no workaround or anything required.

Sure your trying to install the Android app?

Funny, i installed CoPilot 8 on my Desire from market, and it works perfectly? You must be doing something wrong.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kekele:
Yes with Sportypal you can do any type of outdoor workouts, with the chance to add manually indoor workout, especially for working out in the gym

http://www.sportypal.com/indoor

It has many types of exercises to choose from, or add my own like the Abrriper X program

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] skindrey:
Did you ever tries Jucy Workout Log? It's designed for phones and tables, so there should not be any issues with HD devices. It's very simple, though powerful. It has the most flexible exercises setup where you can assign ANY measure to your exercises. Besides, it's graphs feature is very good.
[HD2 General] tt2000tt:
Is there any way to set a custom ringtone from the mp3's on the SD card?... Not talking about trimming mp3 and putting it on my ringtones folder... I'm trying to preserve my memory on the phone, so it would be cool to use the mp3's directly from the SD card as ringtones...
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Just had a search through the registry and can't find any reference to the Rings folder other than the Twitter/Peep app.

So i'm guessing the ringtone folders (\Windows + \Windows\Rings) are pretty embedded into the Windows OS.
[HD2 General] tt2000tt:
Thank you for your reply....:-)

I found a way to do this... its very simple, you just have to put your mp3 to the "my documents" folder on the SD card, and you can choose your mp3 as your custom ringtone...

[Desire General] dean258:
Hi!

I thought I'll just give a little feedback after having the Desire for one week now, if anyone has any more infos or thoughts please post! I'm on a T-Mobile UK 18 month contract.

What's good:

- the screen is absolutely fantastic, pictures and especially HD videos look amazing

(I downloaded the Lady Gaga - Telephone 1080p version from Vevo, converted that to 800px width and when I first saw the video on screen I was actually speechless for a minute)

- the speed in general is great, it's like a little laptop

- internet surfing is great, especially when flipping through the animated browser windows

- the 3G speed is excellent, I always get 1.5 - 2 MB everywhere in central London and it's always an HSDPA connection on T-Mobile

- I'm very happy with the phone in general, since I saw Steve Jobs' presentation of the new iPhone OS I'm even happier, multitasking and the general UI doesn't look anywhere near as nice as HTC sense!

What's bad

- no app storage on SD cards (only when rooting etc.)

- the volume, especially when playing movies, is far too quiet when using the speakers or headphones. i can barely hear conversations when all volume controllers are on maximum. i was planning to use the Desire as a media player for long flights etc. because videos look totally amazing on the screen, but if I can't figure out a way to boost the volume without rooting etc. that's my biggest point of concern

- the app situation could be better, but i guess after summer/autumn this year so many people will have bought an Android phone that the demand will boost the development of new apps greatly, so I'll just be patient

I did send an email regarding the app storage on SD and the volume issue to HTC 3 days ago and I'm still waiting for an answer. Will post it here once I get it.

So if you have any points to add, or any infos regarding the above, please post!

Thanks

Dean
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I see 1 problem and that's the app situation. There are plenty good but you're right not as much as there could be...but there will be.

The other 2 points will be fixed when root is public. Louder volume hack and apps2sd.

Root is simple. People always create a 1 click solution like they did on the HTC Tattoo.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Please see this thread for a whole list of what's bad.

But what's good about this device far outweighs all those bads :D
[Desire General] carrige:
Try using in-ear headphones if the volume isn't loud enough. Technically the volume output will be the same/similar, but they'll block out most (if not all) of the background noise from your surroundings. Makes for a very clear and loud enough sound.
[Desire General] dean258:
@ ephumuris

sorry i'm actually quite new to Android, what does "root going public" mean exactly, is that a solution where you won't destroy your warranty and can install apps2sd etc?

@ carrige

thanks for that, but i'm actually using in-ear headphones… mp3 music is fine, but movies are not loud enough. I was searching for headphones with a built in amplifier but couldn't find anything.

WIFI SUCK

THE WORST part, the WIFI setting and capability IS SUCK! :mad:

Unable to detect hidden WIFI??? Even my HTC HD is able to do that! damn...hopefully they can fix that in some ROM update.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
I'm a bit curious, is it because of the weak ass antenna (ala iPad) or just ill coded firmware? Because if it's the former, there's nothing to do about it but replacing the handset...
[Desire General] gogol:
What is that hidden WIFI?
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
If you mean can't detect if not broadcasting SSID then mine can. WiFi is pretty good on my Desire - No complaints.
[Desire General] th3:
Mine is excellent with WiFi too, much better than expected.

[Desire General] daern:
Same here, except that when using Wifi power saving, it sometimes refuses to reconnect to the AP, requiring a device reboot (or just leave the thing for 30 mins or so). Coverage is excellent, stability (once connected) seems excellent.

Question to the OP: why are you using hidden SSIDs anyway?
[Desire General] TheBigB86:
Indeed... If you're that paranoid a MAC filter does the job well enough.
[Desire General] TheBigB86:
Been using it 3 days now.

A minor design flaw I think is the non-hot-swappable SD card slot.

I have a Touch Pro and I've worked with the Legend where that is a feature.

But no biggie, really.

Hi guys,

I'm using X02T, Softbank Japan version of TG01. I have no problems installing most of the apps in the market and so far the only application I couldn't install is SK Tools. I will get 'Certificate error and signature problem' during the end of the installation. Is there anyway I could install SK Tools?
[Desire General] stephenwilley:
This seems to happen a fair bit. I have no idea if it's the phone or Orange's terrible coverage (well, not really coverage since I've got all the bars, but the network's overloaded by too many geeks like us) in Soho, but when people call me, there's a good chance they won't be able to hear me talk. If I call them back, everything works as it should.

This happened with stock Orange ROM, stock Orange ROM + OTA update and now with generic ROM.

It must be either a network or software issue since it works fine sometimes and always if I call them. It's certainly doesn't happen every time someone calls me.

Just wondering if anyone else had seen the same thing?
[Desire General] SamE:
Not had any problems like that with mine on the Orange network, have occasional problems when talking to people on 3 but that is the 3 network causing those problems.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Before you flashed the generic ROM you should have sent the phone back and gotten a new one. Don't you think a major issue like a phone not being able to properly make PHONE CALLS might have been a huge talking point up to now? Surely the fact no one else has raised this means it was probably a hardware fault with your particular phone.

Get it replaced and hope they don't notice the flashing you've done.
[Desire General] stephenwilley:
Your point is of course right, but it hasn't happened ever outside of Soho and I definitely think it's software/network for that and the reasons I initially wrote.

Honestly, Orange in and around Soho has gotten to be almost unusable recently. I have to drop to GSM only a lot to be able to make/receive calls. The same is true for my friends on O2 and it's been that way ever since the smartphones started becoming more ubiquitous. I've complained to Orange and they say they're trying to improve it but they're a bit lax on the details.

It's a matter of time until it's possible to reflash the Orange ROM so if it does get worse and/or turn out to be a hardware fault, then as you say, I'll either send it back as is, or reflash to stock ROM first if poss.
[Desire General] Pumpkin Lantern:

I just recently switched my ADP1 for a Desire and really love the Device (except for the Screen) but I have some issues with the Market.

I'm used to my ADP1 with CM on it so I had access to all the apps paid and free. On my Desire I have access to free and paid apps but not all of them. Sometimes the free Demo is available but not the paid version. As I live in Switzerland, I'm not sure if this is because of country restrictions of the Market or because Google didn't sign off the Desire to be a Device which is allowed to install protected apps. Some reports say it's because of Google, some say because of the country separation of the Market...

Does anyone know for sure?

[Legend General] buzjay:
Hi,

I have my legend from 3 week s now, and very pleased with it... I has a Hero before and happy to play now with Android 2.1... However... I'm a little bit disapointed with the quality of my network signal nd some other bug that I hadn't on my hero...

Problems...

Wifi signal and Network GSM signal often bad or lower quality than previously... Is that normal and know for future dev...

Browser often doesn't load the Internet page when signal is not good and stop working or show the error loading message, and even if my signal is ok...

So basically my radio version is...

47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L

2.6.29-9a3026a7

Build 1.23.405.1 CL139791

Can you help me, is a new rom or radio planned for soon...

thx

did you compare the performance of your Legend with another phone?

Same here, bad WiFi or Edge/3G performance compared with my iPhone 3GS or some other phones I've tested (at the exact same location).

Sent from my HTC Legend using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Legend General] danton47:
I haven't tested my Legend side-by-side with other phones, but I have an overall feeling that my old HTC Magic was more stable wrt GSM/3G networking.

The main problem for me is that quite often Legend cannot keep connections/phone calls alive when switching between EDGE and 3G networks. I've never had such problems with Magic (on the same operator, Swisscom in my case).

I'm not sure if this happens because of weaker reception, a bug in the Legend's radio, or some sort of incompatibility with my operator's network. (The old Magic was Swisscom-branded, so maybe it was tweaked for Swisscom in some way).
[Legend General] crubbish:
same here

I can confirm radio is generally weak with Legend. It loses GSM/3G connection completely in places where my previous phones (HTC Snap & Magic) were showing weak signal but were still holding connection. Same goes with Wi Fi unfortunately. My conclusion: Legend's radio is weaker compared to other phones. Don't get me wrong - you may never experience any problems if GSM/3G/Wi Fi signal is strong in your areas of inhabbitance. But in my case (work phone - so got to be reachable 24/7) it looks like Legend has Failed.
[Legend General] KK43:
I've had a magic, hero and nexus one before the legend, and for me the legend seems weaker than hero/magic (which are the same in my experience) but MUCH better than the nexs one.#

Overall the legend has been ok though, the only annoying thing I've experienced is when I go into a no signal area (e.g. underground) and come back, it sometimes doesn't pick up a signal again and stays on no network until I switch off and on. Annoying if it's in your pocket and you've not noticed for a while...
[Legend General] Sebastian768:
Bad Wifi

I've had the Legend for 2 days now and I'm experiencing severe problems with radio.

Specifically wifi:

* Signal on Legend is VERY low compared to Hero

* I'm also loosing connection all the time, where my Hero was extremely stable

* Problem is worse when I'm using my laptop's wifi at the same time

- When laptop is turned off, wifi is somewhat stable on the Legend, when I'm surfing the web on my laptop AND using wifi on the Legend, I seem to have problems with both. I loose connection on the Legend and wifi on laptop is very slow. When Legend wifi is off, I have no problem whatsoever.

* I sometimes have problems accessing Market, Browser and other apps that require net access.

* Switching between wifi and 3G/Edge seems slow and doesn't always work

I AM comparing the Hero and Legend at the same time. I have no problem with Hero and Laptop running at the same time, only Legend and laptop!

Edit: I now about "early adopter syndrome" where they release something before it's finished. BUT this really isn't a new product in that respect, it's supposed to be an improvement. I did not get the Legend for this hassle. If it persists and nothing is gained from my email to HTC, I'm returning it as a defect product.
[Legend General] buzjay:
Can someone expert here give us more info about this and future dev or problem source ? As for me Even if I like the legend I can not understand how they can launch a device giving lower result that it's previous version : the htc hero... ???
[Legend General] Sebastian768:
Sooooo, Hero radio is ok and get's good signal strength........Hero is made of plastic. Legend radio is weak, drops connection a lot....Legend is made of aluminum. Is it possible that we will never get good reception on the Legend, that it's not a bug, but a weakness with the metal used. Like The first iPhone......and why they are doing glass/ceramic back in the 4G iPhone....

Just asking...I have the Legend as well if you think I'm dissing the Legend here.
[Legend General] KK43:
nexus one is plastic and from my experience has considerably worse signal strength
