[Desire Accessories] boge:
I already used that battery, and it works well..

It definitely has a lower capacity compare with the original one, but can still give one full day of normal usage.

Also, it is not too small, it is a little bit bigger than the original, so it a little bit too tight, but it fits well though...

The charger also works fine, but takes like 4 hours for full charge.
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
I've just recieved my replacement for my first HTC desire which had a dead pixel near the top of the screen (wish i kept it, such a minor issue :S) - I got it replaced for a new HTC desire which arrived today, which hs dust under the screen right in the middle of it - a bigger problem.

2 Phones unlucky, and managed to convince TMobile CS to replacve it as opposed to repair, so, I'm getting yet another one tomorrow.

Has anyone recieved a faulty replaement for a faulty phone or is it just me? :S

First HTC phone, very very bad experience, feel like cancelling it :/ (then again miainly for Tmobiles partially ****e coverage)
[Desire General] Aitese:
Funny, mines the most solid phone I've ever had, and I'm a long time Nokia user.
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
I'm not denying its solid, but one most annoying issue on a phone like this is the screen, and to have a faulty screen twice sucks.

I'm also worried HTC are rushing out desires now, so build quality/batch testing is effected - another reason i regret just sending my old one off now grrrrr :S
[Desire General] sajcobitsj:
I'm guessing you're an unlucky chap. My Desire is of excelent build quality, no dust whatsoever. The backside locks firmly to the body, covering the battery verry well.
[Desire General] rovex:
Every product has stories of unlucky customers. For me the three HTCs ive had have been the best built and most reliable phones ive had.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Well, it seems you're using the wrong wording. A dead pixel has nothing to do with build quality...they don't make the screens they buy them from a third party. Dust under the screen, again a rare occurrence that happens to the best devices. You had some back luck, but the consensus seems to be that you're an isolated incident.
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
Still asleep - but yeah, you're right, typically I'd use build quality to assess how solid it feels and its qualty, it does feel solid, not plasticy. However Dust does describe something not working correctly in the bulding process, but yeah - isolated - doubt a whole batch would have such an issue.

Trying to remember what word to use to describe my scenario

They say third time lucky, hopefully that one will work, since HTC desire is the ultiamte phone atm, and if i'm going to invest in a phone now might aswell invest it into an android. Failing that, might sell it on ebay or equivelant
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
There are worse things than dust that could get under the screen.

Imagine if the person assembling it, sneezed! :O
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
oh shiiiiiiii :D lol!
[Desire General] Aitese:
Did that when putting on an Invisible Shield on my Creative M3 player...was angry for several months after that.
[Desire General] th3:
Eh, exact same here with the addition that I'm a long time Sony /HTC user too. Very solid phone tis.

[Desire General] angues:
It's not just you, I've had exactly the same problems but the other way around. The first phone I received had dust under the screen, replaced it and now have a dead pixel. I however prefered the first one because I couldn't notice it as much.

I'm getting my third as well but they are CONSTANTLY out of stock. Both times I've received the phone I've asked to have it replaced within a few hours of receiving it (after charging and noticing the problem) and both times they've been out of stock for about a week afterwards (vodafone uk). I mean its good if there is lots of demand for this device but I just want to get one for myself that is fine out the box!

Like you said 3rd time lucky i hope!
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
Unlucky about that :(

I waited 2 weeks to get my first replaced, failing that the third you can send of to HTC for repairs, or ebay it and end up with a cheap contact.
[Desire General] firedup:
It's you. Build quality is very good.
[Desire General] Balos:
I find the build quality is not the best.

On front screen above the back/search button. I can see key back light coming out of a tinny hole, where the bottom part, the so called chin connects to the screen body. Then on the top left and bottom right of the battery cover. It doesn't seem to fit as tight as on top right and bottom left. I'd say that poor build quality.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
I guess the word yous are looking for are "poor QC"

and when someone mentioned sneezing, I remember some article about some poor dude finding squished bug inside a screen on a vaio laptop LOL.

Try this:

This should have the apn settings that you need.

If not then call SUN CELLULAR to get the information that you need to do it.

You need to have a sim unlocked device first though.

Having recieved my brand spanking new HTC Desire and sold my Hero I thank you all for such a lovely time that I have had here.

There is no going back for me now, the Desire is totally so flippin awesome and some might say I have jumped ship but I can assure you all, the Desire is a thing of pure brilliance and I have Android 2.1, friendstream and live wallpapers.

Adios, farewell, au revoir to you all, I am now heading to the Desire ROM development forum.

[Desire Themes and Apps] ardsar:
Can anyone recomend a notification or profile manager that can provide some or all of the following features

1) Different notification sound for sms and email (currently i can not find a way to set a different tone for SMS and the HTC mail client)

2) Repeat notification for sms or missed call - ie repeat notification every x mins

3) Set up sound profiles ie, work, home etc rather than just the 3 standard profiles that exist on the phone

I'm suprised at how limited the standard notification settings are (unless im looking in the wrong place!)

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bulls-eye1:
You're looking in the wrong place :D

If you go to the SMS application and then press Menu, you can set the notification sound. Same goes for the E-mail application.

For Profiles there are numerous apps in Android, for example: Free - Setting Profiles Lite http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-probeez-liteprofiles-xipF.aspx or paid - Locale http://apps.doubletwist.com/Locale/1577439657811856040
[Desire Themes and Apps] ardsar:
Thanks for the advice. However i am looking for something that can repeat an sms notification as the LED stops flashing after 5 mins.
[Desire Themes and Apps] andy1120:
Handset does reminders, smspopup allows custom notifications for each contact there are many profiles apps out there... but no one app seems to do everything yet.
[Desire Themes and Apps] andy1120:
That should of course read Handcent (predictive text be damned).
[Desire Themes and Apps] andy1120:
You should also check out Missed Reminder and Quick Profiles.

I've been using this application for a while "Setting Profiles" since the Hero and now on the Desire.

http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/Setting_Profiles_Full

It's not free, but definitely worth the money.

If anyone decides to use that site to purchase applications, first create an account, and download the AndAppStore Client to your phone, where you login and then can see all the applications you purchased and download from there.

The approach used in Setting Profiles is brillient, you create profiles and conditions (triggers) seperately. And above that has a homescreen widget too.

Search for the Lite version in the Market and try it out, which is limited to one profile/condition I think.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wizard1322:
I, too, am using Setting Profiles. As mentioned above, definately worth the money. So many options.:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] ardsar:
thanks guys. setting profiles seems like a good tool.

I am just putting this as a word of warning for anyone as silly as me ;o)

It is pretty irritating having the Gtalk service running all the time, but on removing it, by deleting the apks from the system/app folder, I discovered that both the gmail app and the market seem to be dependent on it

you can disable the auto login from within the google talk app itself

i would seem it is best left alone

[HD2 General] abmantis:
Hello,

Is there any way to put an HD2 ROM on an WinMo SDK emulator so I can debug in VS?

I want that mostly because of Sense and HTC Messaging application, because I need to debug with that... So if there's another ROM from another phone that has Sense and would work on an emulator, it should do it, it doesn't really have to be from an HD2...

I know, I know I can debug directly on the device, but I would prefer the emulator for the work I'm trying to do...

[Desire General] ricx2004:
Hi,

Currently im on the £15 a month with 300 mins on a 24 month contract. I was under the impression that all android phones came with free unlimited internet included, plus you would also get a free booster. But aparently according to t-mobile i have to use my free booster for the mobile internet. Is this correct?

cheers
[Desire General] walkerx:
yes - t-mobile have changed their packages - if you don't get internet in the package you must use the free booster for it
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
I tihnk you have to have purchased an android phone from them, not sure though - I have an android and get unlimited internet, and use my flexible booster for unlimitemd texts.
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
unlimited means 3GB, although there are no charges if u exceed by a small amount.
[Desire General] ricx2004:
i originally purchased the phone from the t-mobile store on the 3rd April . So im not sure if the free unlimited internet applied on £15 contract that im on. Currently have to use internet as my free booster.
[Desire General] A|ex:
This can easily be solved by phoning your phone company customer services.

URL of UK Company fair usage on what 'unlimited' means.

[Desire General] Bandare:
I just checked the t-mobile site (UK) as I know when I was getting mine I wanted to be sure. Here are the details as of today that they state:

To view this go here: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-monthly/htc/desire/overview/

When there, click on the Internet on your phone - Important Info. It states the above.

If you go and check all the deals for contract phones, it clearly states in the INTERNET FAIR USE POLICY:

I suggest you give them a call and tell them you want to use your free booster for something other than the internet! All Android phones have a 3gb a month limit.
[Desire General] ricx2004:
Thats exactly how i read into it also. everywhere on their site states that if you have an android phone it requires "always on" connection to the net. So this will always be included in your price plan. This way you can use the flexible booster for something else like unlimited landline calls etc.

When i initially called t-mobile they said that i had to use my flexible booster for the unlimited internet. so basically i could either have internet, and no flexible booster or use my booster for something else and be charged for internet.

im sure this is all wrong. but ive phoned them up twice and they keep giving me the same answer. very frustrating! if i go to the original store i bought it from could they sort it out there?
[Desire General] Nelsaidi:
Just try again and dont accept no - complain, tell them thats what u were told when u got the phone, it says it on your website, dunno if it will work though but me complaining with some consumer rights got them to do stuff my way :P
[Desire General] Bandare:
direct them to their information... as I said above. they are wrong! Complain to the supervisor....
[Desire General] ricx2004:
Ill give them another call. it clearly states it across many pages on their site that its free internet + flexible booster. will let you know how i get on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Piona:
Hello,

I' d like to know if meteor, audiobox from 4pocketpc works well on the HTC HD2.

www(dot)4pockets.com/product_info(dot)php?p=82

If anyone can try the demo version as I don't have the device yet.

Thank you in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Piona:
please guys ...I 'm just asking if anyone could try this app for me

I didn't buy the device yet....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
audio box works but as the device is wvga and the app is vga it doesnt fill up the screen. You also have an issue exiting the program... ie/ i cant figure out how to do it other then pressing hardware home key to get back to home screen and then using task manager to end the process. Even that is dodgy as Audiobox insists on sitting on top of everything else.

Not 100% sure about Meteor but i dont think it works as if it did it would still be on my sd card... (looks like i deleted it)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hexjibber:
Meteor is working fine on my HD2, great app!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
why the hell did i delete it then?!?!? lol

ill grab it again and test but if you say it is fine then im sure it will be! thanks =)

EDIT: found it... installed it... Meteor works fine just like Hexjibber said. Still the same problem as audiobox with screen res though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Piona:
Thank you very much guys, I really appreciate this.

So that should be fine to use it if I understand well.

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JHimmelbauer:
download the actual version - it can WVGA
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] me:
I installed the Audiobox Demo on my HD2 (TMOUSA version, latest stock ROM).

The app installed fine.

But it doesn't run. I click on the app's icon, and nothing happens, it does not start.

Same thing happened when I tried it on an earlier WinMo device I had.

I think the demo is very buggy.

I don't see how the developers could expect people to buy this app (more expensive than most mobile apps), without even providing a demo that works!

Any hints to get the demo working?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] skilty:
meteor works. it's v.cool

does'nt fill the screen as previously stated, but definitely worth getting.

[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
i dont think it is a good idea to delete OEM files... perhaps if you use new oemdrivers you can delete some of them but dunno what are these for :o

The .bts files are a component of mobile communications see:

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/b/BTS.html

The .vol file is a database. Unless you do know exactly what the files do, or at least what they are for, I wouldn't delete from OEM. Actually I wouldn't modify or delete any file, if you don't know what it's for.

[Desire General] gens6200:
I noticed that my new Desire had close to 100% awake time (Settings>About phone>Battery), which has historically been an issue for other HTC devices (Sprint Hero). So I checked the Battery info (punch in *#*#4636#*#* in the phone dialer), and under “Battery history” it shows “Running” as 100%, which indicates the same awake time. If I change the top pull-down to “Partial wake usage” it shows me that the calendar is running more or less constantly.

Could this be an underlying cause of poor battery life? (not that it’s that bad in my opinion – seem to get 15-20 hrs out of one charge – But my Hero could last 2 days or more)

Would someone please bother to retrace my steps on their devices to see if they get the same results?

UPDATE APRIL 21 2010: PARTIAL SOLUTION FOUND: The problem is the calendar app. It can be solved partially by force closing the calendar in “manage applications” and then starting it up again. After doing this, the phone sleeps correctly. So something in the calendar app is preventing the phone from going to sleep – And by restarting the app it works correctly again.

Unfortunately this is only a temporary fix, since it has to be done every time the phone is powered on (rebooted) and also every once in a while without rebooting, since the calendar app for some reason resumes it bad behaviour after a day or so.

So everyone with the problem should let HTC know about it - Assuming they listen..

UPDATE APRIL 24 2010: SCREENSHOTS ADDED: I added screenshots of the issue as well as how it's supposed to look on a handset without the issue.

UPDATE APRIL 28 2010: PERMANENT SOLUTION FOUND?: Remove Flickr Sync. Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync>Flickr. Then press remove account at the bottom of the screen and reboot the phone - Please report back in the thread if successful! :-)

UPDATE JUNE 07 2010: The issue has been resolved by OTA update to 1.21.405.2.

The above command does nothing for me.
[Desire General] RXP:
I charged my battery while the phone was on yesterday and it said it'd been fully charged. I then switched my phone off and the yellow charge light was on, indicating the battery wasn't full. I waited for it to go green and got an extra hour or so charge time, hopefully the charge will last longer now. I think it's a firmware issue with reporting the battery is fully charged when it isn't.

Are you remembering to reverse the * & # at the end?
