I don't even have that option to prefix in the dialer ... :(
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
You don't understand me. If you wish to call someone from your phone book (people), first start call and end it immediately. Then tap this number and hold, you'll get menu and select edit number before calling. Use track ball to go left and then type prefix. Unfortunately it's not possible to paste, what's really stupid.

Also you can add prefix+number in phone book as another number what you'll use in roaming.
[Desire General] leungalv:
AH! I got you now ... I was trying to "tap" to the front of the number rather than using the little "trackball" sensor! Thanks ... I guess I'll make due with that now, but I really wish that option to send tones was available.

SCREEN DIMS ON LANDSCAPE ROTATION IN SUNLIGHT:

Apologies, but I can not find a solution to this anywhere.

Basically, when I rotate my Desire in sunlight to landscape, the screen brightness dims to 0%.

As a result, I can not see what I am taking a photo of if I want it in landscape. Also, I cannot use Google Navigation in sunlight in landscape as once again, as soon as I rotate it the screen blacks out.

Is this a known issue? I have recently heard that it may be caused by my screen protector?

Any help appreciated.

FM Radio very poor RDS support

RDS almost doesn't work at all.

HTC Desire display RDS text mesage only for very few radio stations.

When the Desire scans the stations it does not display RDS title for any station.

I hope this is a software issue (not hardware) and will be fixed in future upgrade (system or FM application).

Wallpaper

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, I've had a quick search and couldn't find anything...

Has anyone come up with a fix so that you can set a photo as your wallpaper without it zooming right in and only showing a small part of the photo. I've tried moving the green box around but to no avail.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] 3722:
The wallpaper resolution on the desire is 960x800 , if you make a wallpaper with that kind of pixels, then when you are setting it move the green marker so that all of the wallpaper is within range.
[Desire General] Cheery Giant:
Thanks.

Sorry for being a divvy but how do check/change the resolution of a picture on the phone?

I can only extend the green marker a small way and cannot extend it to the whole size of the picture.
[Desire General] 3722:
Well... you can check the resolution from your pc and then transfer a 960x800 pic on your phone. But if you want to do it from the phone go to the stock gallery app and just press and hold on a picture, a menu will pop up, choose "details", you'll see the resolution there.

I have HTC Desire with Android 2.2

When I try search by pressing search button, it finds me contact that I want, but when I tap on it it opens some other contact, not one from the search list.

When I start people search from programs, it finds contact that I want, and when I tap on it it opens that contact.

What's wrong with search over serach button?

I tried changing google search, people search, calendar search, it's the same problem.

But when I start people search from app list, it works fine.

Any ideas

SMS notification

I think this a problem with the default sms app.

When you receive a message during a call, the notification sound plays...weirdddd, and very unprofessional.

I think one can change this with Market apps, but I don't want to resort to an app that will use more of my already very limited phone memory.

This should be fixed by HTC or Google...whoever.

No contact picture in SMS list for short addresses

Hello,

I searched as much as I could but could not find an answer.

Here is a problem: on my HTC Desire (v.2.2) I recieve a certain number of sms from different short addresses (for example: 7482 for Raiffeisenbank, 900 for Citibank, alfabank - for AlfaBank and so on). To see those clearly it's good to have pictures for them so I created contacts and set a corresponding picture (company logo) to each. However, in the sms list icons are shown only for 4-digit numbers (in my example - only Raiffeisenbank).

Before update, on Android 2.1 it worked for both 3 and 4-digit numbers, and for text adresses I had to add text address to phone fileld (only possible via outlook and then sync). In 2.2 it no longer works, but I still want my sms well organized.

Does anyone has the same issue or/and knows a workaround for this?

Thanks.

Lots of people seem to have problems with this according to the Apps Market comments.
[Desire General] Preggy:
DSP Manager

I've just installed the latest LeeDroid ROM on my Desire and there is a mod on the LeeDroid-website which installs a app called DSP-Manager.

It's basically an equalizer which lets you set different profiles for the phone's speaker, bloetooth headsets and standard earphones. I haven't found this app on the market, so if you want to try it out you can either install it on your LeeDroid-ROM, take the risk of intalling it on your non-LeeDroid-ROM or you simply switch ROMs :)

The app itself seems pretty nice to me, but I've only quickly tested it with some bigger earphones, I've tested neither bluetooth headset nor standard headset with it, but I have to say the effects were pretty impressive! :)

Is anyone else annoyed by the 'selected network not available' error message that keeps cropping up? I only really noticed it when I was abroad before, but now Orange & T-Mobile in the UK allow roaming between networks I'm getting it more often. I don't mind the triange & exclamation mark in the notification tray, it's the way it forces the pop-down network list to the foreground even when you are doing other things that really annoys me! Anyone else been bothered by this? Anyone know if it's an HTC Sense issue or an Android one?

Hi, I am new to Desire, but two issues I am/was struggling with (not yet reported in first post) are:

Contacts

- It's impossible to erase SIM contacts

workaround: Since there's also issue no 25, the only thing you can do is to insert your SIM to a phone which allows you to erase SIM contacts

Synchronization

- Stock gallery doesn't allow you to sync with Picasa Web Albums (although you can upload with 'share' button'

workaround: [didn't test yet] download 3d gallery

Wifi detection

Hi,

thanks for this thread, it is an excellent way to share our knowledge about this very good phone!

I've got a new very annoying point to add:

I've got the phone for a few days, no network connection yet and then I started to use it only threw wifi connection to upload app, contact, mail, agenda from google.

Then I discovered that the phone does not see the had-oc (peer to peer) wifi network available.

If I launch a wifi from a notebook or a another phone, the Desire can't see it and then can't connect. Then no way to use the phone if there are no wifi box...:(

Has any one already experienced the same kind of trouble? is there a way to correct it?

by the way a friend of mine has the Galaxy S and can't see the peer-to-peer wifi connection either. appart from the ones created from android phones...:confused:

isn't there a proper fix for issue 3. "Contact photos become blurry if synced with Google Contacts." yet? Not syncing contacts/phonebook contacts isn't an ideal workaround.
[Desire General] IceBone:
Not yet. And this is an issue affecting all Android phones, not just the Desire. :/
[Desire General] psycho.ro:
Nope, not that option. It is related to Facebook.
[Desire General] Bingley:
This is because, from what I've worked out, G Contacts have small 48x40px (I think) images used in Google Talk/Chat etc, and they just don't save a larger size image - they resize it down to 48x48 or whatever. Unless they change that I don't think you'll get better images. Shame really, I was wondering about it too.

Hello, I'm new to this. Only have the Desire for 2 days.

I found one issue so far. When receiving an SMS message and I open the messages, I see a list of received SMS. Fine.

However, in that list the picture of my contact (the one who sent the SMS) is not shown (only the generic "person" icon).

I do see the picture though in my contact list.

I manage all my contacts through Google contacts (they are synced to the phone).

Anybody an idea? thanks!

@coldside et al.

I also recommend the PowerAmp app, it's very funky to look at and what more will play high quality FLAC audio. Controls are well thought out and the album art search works nicely.

The Meridian app is also good and while it lacks the control options and FLAC functionality of PowerAmp it does add playback of video and audio books.

Hide number options

There are only two options to hide your number:

2: show (to all)

[Desire General] biffsmash:

Facebook Contact Sync problem - gone after reboot - 'SOLVED'

I've been annoyed by a problem since upgrading to 2.3.3 gingerbread where my contacts synced from Facebook would disappear after every reboot and the Facebook 'account' would be gone from Accounts & Sync.

Going back into the Facebook app, I'd have to go to settings and tick the box 'sync with existing contacts' again because it had always defaulted back to 'don't sync'

This was really frustrating me and there have been other posts about the same topic on different ROMs.

The solution for me was the whole application must be stored on the phone. If I had part of it moved to SD, it kept happening (settings/manage applications and move it back to the phone, clear cache).

Hope that might help anyone suffering the same problem (who has plenty of space on their phone!).

Recommend RTM to workaround limitation #33.

In regards to limitation #33. "No native tasks or notes application. This means no syncing with Outlook or Exchange for these items. Submitted by david_inuk." I'd like to make a suggestion.

Use Remember The Milk! (RTM). It's a great task management application for your Android phone.

It can sync with Outlook using a RTM client on your PC.

Link:

rememberthemilk.com/services/android/ sorry, can't post the link as I'm a newbie here.

It can also sync with many other devices, and developers are very active in improving the functionality all the time =] Anyway, can definitely highly recommend it. ^^

I think I haven't seen this one here yet.

The annoyance is that when listening to audio through headphones, I can hear constant blipping noise at intervals. I listen to audio books and quiet music, so this is quite annoying.

The only solution that I have found to this, is to tick the box in mobile network settings that permits use of only 2G networks. Then the problem disappears.

I remember finding this solution somewhere in Windows Mobile discussion, and this problem occurs because there is some lack of shielding of components inside a phone and to tower updates, or this is what I remember.

boot issue - suggestions?

I am struck wih this desire which is not willing to boot up.

Went through the menu of boot loader and see that it do throws up this error

Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

How do I get this to work now? Any suggestions?

Can I put these files on the sdcard? Will it load the image from the sdcard and boot? when can I find these images? Can it be extracted from some RUU?

All suggestions welcome. Pl. bring my desire back to life :)
[Desire General] angusc:
What exactly have you done so far to your desire? You are currently getting in to bootloader and it is scanning your SDCard for the file PB99IMG.ZIP to flash a ROM image.

Have you Rooted your phone or have you accidentally got to the bootloader screen?

From the bootloader screen you can simply use the vol up and vol down buttons to scroll to the power off option then once powered down just press the power button too start your phone in the normal way. Provided that you have not ben trying to change your ROM without following the proper guides then all should be well.

If you are trying to root your phone and install a custom ROM then you need to read up on the very good tutorials.

As a heads up, below are the critical steps that you should follow;

1. Create a gold card. (use the goldcard tool from XDA site).

2. Locate you original operators ROM RUU and save to your PC. (extract the ROM.ZIP file from the RUU which you them rename to the PB99IMG.ZIP file and copy back to your SDCard for later original rom recovery from the bootloader menu IF REQUIRED). This is done by running the RUU but not taking any actions on the phone, then copy the ROM.ZIP file from your PC's "Temp"folder.

3. Root your phone with alpha rev.

4. Select the Custom ROM of your choice.

5. Read and comply with the sdcard set up requirements.

6. Flash the rom from the RECOVERY MENU.

DONE.

Hi Kuailan,

Regarding the WiFi I managed to make it work without the certifcates, despite needing certificates if using WiFi on my PC. I simply configured with the usual data, and then chose MSCHAP and filled out the user name and password if I remember correctly. To my surprise it worked without needing any certificates.

Sorry I don't remember the details, and am not sure whether it will work for you, but it is definitely worth a try.
