I only skimmed for like half a second but it seems to me that:

- There is worry that a 1500mah battery of the same dimensions as the 1300mah means that the 1500mah probably isn't made as well and/or isn't safe.

- If Nokia (a company that is well respected and which produces quality products) can make a 1500mah of the same dimensions then obviously it's possible for company x to make a similar battery for the HTC without sacrificing quality/safety.

Now to add my 2 cents:

- Half of these companies that are selling $3 batteries are the same companies that Nokia, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and the others get their batteries from in the first place. I've had so many $3 batteries that I could blow up a horse, and they've all worked GREAT. In fact the only time I've had a battery bloat up and become iffy, was the one that came in my Motorola Q.

Not to mention that you can get the official OEM batteries with holograms for pretty much the same price on ebay as well.

Hi everyone,

I've bougth a 1500 battery ( really i orderer in ebay a 1300 one, but i received a 1500 one)

And I have a problem with the battery temperature,

HTC Legend battery widget shows always battery temperature at -85ºC (negative value), what is imposible, so i think that HTC Legend can not read the real battery temperature (what make photo camera's flash doesn't work, for cold weather.)

My question is, if it is a normal perfomance,

I mean, if these batteries can't have a temperature reading like the originals, or it should be able to read it, so my battery is bad working?

Ok so I dont know how many of you here are using the swype keyboard on the HD2, I have a Tmo us so it comes with it and it's a lot easy than the HTC one. One thing that bother me is when you have to tap on the keyboard to input words that are not in the dictionary, it doesnt vibrate or make a sound. Now on my Nexus 1, I also have a swype beta version on it, and it vibrate and have sound feed back when I tap in words. I'm wondering is there a setting that I might have miss on the swype keyboard for Winmo? Maybe there is a registry I can edit to have it vibrate at least? Any idea?
[HD2 General] Indifference:
I really want swype to vibrate as well. Why I don't know but I just do.

Sup all would anyone have the actual TRRS pinouts for the audio jack for the desire I would like to make a up a lead that will allow me to plug an ordinary pair of headphones in using a proper TRRS jack instead of a TRS jack. thanks. There are definately issues plugging in a headphone directly or maybe it is my unit faulty?

Edited, this topic will show you the best way to connect your headphones to your desire as some people will experiance problems with pluggin in normal 3.5 jack plug headphones, this is due to the desire using a trrs socket for the microphone instead of a trs socket that normal headphones use.
[Desire Accessories] alex101uk:
pretty sure it is:

tip - left audio

ring 1 (closest to tip) - right audio

ring 2 - data of some kind

shield - ground

Hope this helps
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
cheers for that, im having some peeps tell me that i can just plug in an ordinary pair of headphones into the phone without any ill effects, i am concerned that i will have a problem because headphones are trs jacks and the desire has the trrs 3.5 jack. can anyone confirm any details on this for me please
[Desire Accessories] alex101uk:
nah you can use a normal TRS 3.5mm jack with no problems. I guess that when you use a normal TRS jack then shield and ring 2 on the connector are both connected to shield on the jack so it adjusts the software accordingly. But yea, no problems.
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
cheers for that

edited, we have since discovered that this is not the case, please read the entire topic for the correct way to connect headphones to the desire.
[Desire Accessories] macrik:
standard 3,5 mm (TRS) headphones DO CAUSE ISSUES

Was about to resend my HTC Desire, because it randomly called, skipped music stopped the music, FM-radio freeze etc. from the moment I connected my high-end 3,5mm headphone (TRS type: 3 contacts).

No issues with the standard headset delivered with the HTC Desire (TRRS type: 3,5mm 4 contacts).

So, you might need a TRS -> TRRS adapter.

Anyone with other experiences???
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
Basically what I have found is that many of the normal headphones are not working correctly because it is a trrs socket that is used. To me this would mean that normal headphones shouldnt be used, I have tried various headphones but there are definately issues with them,

The main issue I was having was as you have said above and also the base wasnt right with them

I have since bought this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130384433476&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

which arrive today and when I am using this in conjunction with my headphones I now have the proper base to the set and NONE of the problems I was having when i was plugging them into the phone directly......... they just didnt sound right, now using griffin smarttalk this i can definately tell the difference now especially in the base, also this unit will lower the volume and allow you to make a call automatically with built in mike, clicking it twice doesnt skip the track suggested instead it will ring the last number dialled in the phone so a bonus actually to me :P

the straight adapters ie trrs to trs are very nearly the same price as this if not more expensive so i would recommend this all day long to you. At £9.75 delivered bargain m8, bought late evening on the 20th arrived this morning what more can i say, but if you are having issues it is definately in my eyes because of the difference in the trrs socket to the trs socket,

the base is fantastic on this phone now, before it was terrible, now i just need an equaliser to remove some of it :P
[Desire Accessories] flocoon:
When you speak of "normal headphones", are you referring to simple 3.5 TRS headphones, or headphones with a mic ?

Cause if the majority of the headphones (without mic I mean) won't properly work with the Desire, it's a major flaw according to me.
[Desire Accessories] macrik:
I confirm: TRS (3 contacts, without mic) do not work...

...I tried 4 different 3,5mm stereo headsets (TRS type, 3 pole, without mic). NONE of them worked correctly (phenomenons as described above).

When you plug a 3 pole TRS headphone in the Desire 4 pole TRRS headphone output, a short circuit is generated between the first 2 internal contacts (seen from connector input: ground + control line).

I suspect that the Desire firmware cannot detect/handle this situation, and so it causes random actions (prev, next, call numbers, stop, play, ....)

I suspect that this issue could be solved with a firmware upgrade....
[Desire Accessories] alex101uk:
there is no way they would release hardware with a 3.5mm socket that you cant plug a 3.5mm jack into right? the firmware does detect when you use a TRS instead of a TRRS. You get a different icon on your notification bar for each of them. As ive said before my AKG's have worked perfectly so far and have shown none of the problems listed above.
[Desire Accessories] flocoon:
This afternoon I quickly tested my Seinheiser PX100 headphones with a friend's desire and the Htc music player.

It worked flawlessly. Volume was good and it didn't play/pause/skipped tracks.

As I said it was a really quick test so I can't say for sure that everything's was okay.

Nonetheless apparently a lot of people experienced problems with numerous headphones. To me it's really a shame you can't even plug ANY 3.5mm jack headphones with the desire ... :(

I hope a software update could fix this.
[Desire Accessories] DHel01:
I also had this problem when connecting my Desire to my car radio using an standard 3.5mm AUX cable. Will this cable solve my problem or will my car radio not be able to recognize a 4 pole cable?

[Desire Accessories] zzleezz:
I think this might be an issue of certain cables not making a full connection due to the shape of the case surrounding the socket. I had no problems with my headphones, sound was good and loud enough although I could see how it might not be loud enough for some.

I did start having issues when I plugged the aux lead in my car into the phone. The lead has a large shroud that obstructed the plug from being plugged all the way in. This gave the same problems as described in other posts, skipping tracks and also crashing the music software at one point.

I replaced the lead with another that had a better fit and the problems went away but I did notice when I leaned against the lead while it was playing music in my car it started skipping track again.

I wonder what HTC have to say about this....
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
I solved those problems with this lead- i dont think the one your showing will work for you

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220593400305

they come from china etc however only 5 days to arrive from ordering.

and I now enjoy trouble free music. I also have ordered the Griffin Smart Talk so i can listen to my headphones and be able to answer the phone as well however I didnt want to use it for plugging into a car stereo etc etc so i wanted a straight lead conversion.

Just a quick warning the first lead i ordered from this person was faulty, however i had also ordered 3 other leads from the same person as an after thought which were all perfect.. as they are only pennies it is worth ordering one or two spare for redundancy purposes. I decided to order 3 as backups more in case i broke one and the person stopped selling them etc etc

These leads will allow you to connect the htc to any other source including external speakers which didnt work when putting them in normally but did work when i used this cable in conjunction with it.

this cable is a trrs to trs jack plug and is used to convert a 4 pin socket to a 3 pin socket jack plug.

Hi guys, by reading this thread i think i found the reason for my issues.

Check this thread i started a while back.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=671469

Post #4 has an image and #5 has a link to the video i made of the problem.

I have no idea what TRS is but i do think what you are talking about here is the cause of the problem.

I hope someone can confirm this so we could positively say that there is an issue with the Desire at this level.
[Desire Accessories] aljwatson69:
Can't say I've had any issues. Used 2 pairs of headphones and and not had any skipping of tracks. It is quieter than my Sony MP3 but I'm assuming that's normal.
[Desire Accessories] zzleezz:
Still think this is a problem with some headphone or audio lead jacks not making a proper connection. If you take the HTC supplied headphones with the 4 pole connector on and plug it in part way the device sees that as a standard headset, if you then push it all the way in it recognises it correctly as a headset with mic.

I have tried about 5 different sets of headphones and all have worked fine, the problem started when I had a standard 3 pole audio extension lead to connect the phone to my car stereo, thought my phone was possesed!

Thinking of getting an adapter that is used for iPhones, the ones that allow standard headphones with larger jacks to connect, iPhone socket is recessed which makes connecting some headphones impossible. The adapter is a straight through 3.5mm to 3.5mm male at one end female at the other, I would assume that people having issues with this will get a better connection with the adapter.

If I get hold of one Ill post the results here, bit busy for a few days so no idea when I will get round to it (although an earlier poster had good results).
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
ok my findings.

Basically a trs connection is a standard stereo 3.5mm audio jack plug

trs stands for

Tip =Signal Send or Return signal Positive/"Hot" Left channel

Ring =Ground or No Connection Return or Send signal Negative/"Cold" Right channel

Sleeve =Ground

with the desire it is a tip ring ring sleeve connection. (TRRS)

this means that one of the rings is used for the mike or a skip track function.

Basically due to the shape of the top of the desire certain headphones will plug in and may connect and certain ones wont. Hence the problems.

what you need is a trrs to trs convertor in order to use standard headphones.

these are sold on ebay.

otherwise using a standard headphone on the desire means that there is a chance that the plug is actually shorting out and tripping the skip function hence why your desires go a bit mad.

Some headphones will seem to work however they actually dont work properly

due to this, when you plug in the convertor you will see that there is a increase in volume and also base in the music quality.

If you look at my origonal post you will see what I used to solve the problem. Two ways one is a simple lead I paid a pound for that will allow you to plug the headphones in the other is the griffin smarttalk which will allow you to use the headphones and will also retain mic functionality.

To plug the phone into something like a car stero you need the trrs to trs convertor lead.

Hope this helps you guys.
[Desire Accessories] Krpano:
^ thanks for the insight.

i found this image to help visualize.
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
That sums it up beautifully, if you look what is happening is that you are actually shorting out two rings with the sleeve within the desire, I understand that the last ring in the trrs pinout is the one that usually controls a mike or to skip a track. hence why some people are having a possessed desire experiance :)
[Desire Accessories] Bradshort:
Guys, i've joined specifically to say thanks. Out of all of the research i have done regarding this stupid issue, this is the clearest explanation.

I like over the ear loop type headphones and am struggling with the skipping etc on the Desire.

Why doesn't this happen on other phones that take Normal headphones or Mic headphones?
[Desire Accessories] Bradshort:
Could you give me a hand finding one of these? Stuggling to find them.

Cheers in advance.
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320537749747

for the straight leads, however if you want a microphone functionality then you needs the griffin smartalk

there is no icon in the screen that the headphone is plugged.

It must be me but a I am lucky to get a month out of a pair of headphones before I manage to screw them up one way or another.

My solution to this and its working so far is the MW600 bluetooth headset no more tangles no more throwing a stick for the dog and the headphones following and other disasters

Oh and if anyone is wondering using the bluetooth seems to make hardly any effect on battery life

Does this also work on a HD2? I am using Windows Mobile, with the same problem as described earlier in this topic (changing song/random calls.)

Do i need a convertor with a TRRS male of TRS male? The headphones I use have a TRS connection and are causing problems. I don't understand why the convertor with TRS male would solve the problem (the once that Leegil suggests). http://www.kvconnection.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=K-AD35M35F4&click=4101

Wouldn't I need a convertor with a TRRS male (4 pole male) and TRS (3 pole) female?

Ok, so I found a file that updated my Sprint Hero from 1.5 to a build of 2.1. Ive been trying to root the phone for some time now since I've done this update and have had 0 success rooting the device. I want to load a custom rom onto my device and I think i might have made things hard by going to this 2.1 update. This is what I see on my software information screen on my phone:

Firmware Version

2.1 -update1

Baseband Version

2.42.00.03.10

Im gonna try now, if this doesnt work, then i have a source at my local store that I can have my hero swapped out and then start fresh with a HERO with 1.5 on it. Although i must say that this version of 2.1, if it is really the Sprint leak s pretty smooth running. I just envy all the custom ROMS i see and the live wallpapers. Pretty interesting things you can do with an ANDROID. Boo APPLE.

Hello Guys,

I'm having a problem with my Leo since the Winter time changed last month.

The phone didn't auto update the time and I had to change it manually, works fine till I update the weather application, when I do it changes back one hour... I manage to bypass that by ignoring "My Current Location" and use the city I'm in. Now I can update the weather and the hour stays good.

With all this I have two issues now, I cant use the "My Current Location" no more and when I receive a text message it's always one hour before mine...

I'm getting insane here, I don't mind much for the "My Current Location" thing cause I do not travel much but the message hour thing is killing me cause it messed up the message thread view...

I'm from Lisbon, Portugal.

Please advise,
