Mine has been fine so far, although I've noticed that the buttons' clicking part isn't correctly centralized and in perfect angle with the plastic button itself.

So I've always pressed a specific corner of them (it changes from button to button).

Like the Home and Menu ones, the correct place seems to be the lower right corner, the Back one, in the lower left.

So pressing indiscriminately would definitely wear it quite easily.

Yes it sometimes gets annoying, but to avoid future headaches I recommend you try to feel it and adapt to the design flaw.

Is there a app that can back-up all my phone settings and games i installed to it...becuz im tired of reinstalling and putting back my old settings everytime i change my rom...i know how to backup numbers and texts, emails...just not settings and my apps...

Just download to phone, install and enjoy! Full backup for less than 1 min. 30 sec
[HD2 General] CHIxCITY:
thanks everybody very helpful
[HD2 General] imakul8:
I use Spb full backup often...never used the custom backup. Can someone give me some details on how to back up the app settings. I select Custom>System Data and then there are more options under that; Backup files(customize), backup data bases and backup registry. Which do I choose just to backup the settings? I did a test run with the default settings and the file came back as large as if I had done a full backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] kiowa79:
Thank you for your great contribution, lol

Thanks, tried and works fine in Spain. Just to say, you cannot move the pda to your eyes angle because doing that the camera points out of the road so the path is not drawn accurately. A good improvement would be the possibility to move that drawing to a particular angle. Otherwise you have to place the holder just in front of you.

Pressing in settings/about shows version 0 trial, I don't know if there is the initial release or is the last one.

[Android Apps and Games] deuse:
Nice idea :)

Are you going to let the app save the routes to the sdcard?

as it works out cheaper just to buy a normal GPS Nav app that does not need to access to the net.
[Android Apps and Games] mimminito:
Just thought I would leave a comment here. This is NOT the first Augemented Reality Sat Nav App to come out for Android. A friend of mine developed one and released it a while ago. Here is the link to his wesbite:

Its called AugSatNav, and you can download it for free from the Marketplace. Its still in beta, but for the work of one/two people, its impressive!

[Desire General] shaundalglish:
It is almost H2... actually that could be in two weeks, or in 5 months, so... pretty useless statement.
[Desire General] tuatha:
It means 11:59PM on december 31st
[Desire General] abc27:
Not really.

If they optimistic about the launch being soon they would have said Q3 2010 not H2 2010.

They are more than likely going to release it around september (Going by the hero that may actually end up being September 2011 ;))

Thank god for custom roms.
[Desire General] madmossy:
H2 2010 could be as early as 1st July or as late as 31st December so a pretty vaque date.

Im counting on the mod community for 2.2 on my Desire, actually prefer the nexus GUI anyway.
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Well rumours going round ( I now, already)

the next release of android , named gingerbread, is

due q4 2010, so would be nice for us to get it 2.2 before the start

of q.4

That's the SDK build, someone had it running on the Hero as well. I'm sure it can be installed on the Desire but it isn't usable for day to day use. It's lacking a lot like the Market e.t.c.

weeks sounds like the june release could be true.

maybe july
[Desire General] Scottland:
2-3 months IMO
[Desire General] antz88c:
seems like it, another HTC promise that will be delayed as usual.

gave up my HTC Hero and got Desire few weeks back.
[Desire General] veryjiggy:
I think Google would provide HTC with the new interface in the next few weeks. How long HTC takes to incorporate it into its Sense UI is anybody's guess.
[Desire General] th3:
IT corps don't give a range as wide as 6 months after the OEM product is announced unless they are not yet anywhere near release stage and not optimistic to release until the back-half of the time period mentioned. Standardized protocol by now; not good news at all :(

[Desire General] linuxtux:
Hi all,

See below responsed I received today from HTC.

Thank you for contacting HTC.

We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and promptly responding to all your questions and concerns.

Here are some Frequently asked question regarding FROYO.

1.Why doesn't my HTC Desire have the Froyo version of Android?

We have been working on these phones for some time before Froyo was announced. In order to make these phones available to you as soon as possible, we had to launch them with the previous version of Android. However your phone will most likely get an update to the new Froyo version.

2.Will you upgrade my phone to Froyo?

If your phone was launched this year, we will most likely offer an upgrade for it to the Froyo version. This includes popular models like the Desire and Droid Incredible as well as hotly anticipated phones like the Evo 4G, MyTouch slide and upcoming models. We will announce a full list of phones and dates once we are closer to launching the upgrades.

3.When will my phone get an upgrade?

We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid Sense experience on Froyo. We expect to release all updates in the second half of this year but can't be more specific yet.

4.It took much longer than you claimed to release the Éclair update for the Hero and Droid Eris, how do we know the Froyo won't be delayed too?

We have learned much from our first software upgrade experience and have taken all that into account when providing this estimate. While we are fairly sure this timeframe is accurate, we cannot guarantee it 100%. We won't rush to release an upgrade that is not ready for you to use without fear of problems, but we will do our best to hit our target.

5.How come my hero or droid Eris isn't getting an update to Froyo?

We feel that the Eclair update we are currently launching for these phones offers similar functionality and works much better in the smaller memory size of these phones. Why can't you just release a Google experience version of Froyo for the hero or Eris? We believe our users have grown to depend on many of the features of Sense not offered by Google's user experience. We believe Sacrificing those features would be more of a loss than users would gain in the changes from 2.1 to 2.2.

6.Will your Froyo update include wifi tethering? will carriers charge extra for it?

This decision will be a collaborative one between HTC and our carrier partners. It will likely differ between models and between carriers.
[Desire General] gogol:
HTC Desire will get FroYo in

- 1 month = magic / mission impossible

- 2 months = We will love HTC a lot more

- 3 months = It is about the right time

- >3 months = That's late :(

- >6 months = most likely :( :( :(
[Desire General] 554321:
well we should stop guessing and start anticaping once the exact dates are out which shouldn't be far from now, i personally can't wait because i have the stock ROM, and 120mb to apps in isn't very convenient, moving them to my 32GB memory card is.
[Desire General] micks_address:
i think we'll see it over the next couple of months.. maybe in august.. i think that the desire has the power in spades to run it will help its case.. .. the delays will be to older phones which might struggle with processor power..
[Desire General] machmandp:
Well lets hope they get it sorted quickly

I have been thinking about getting an Android phone and moving from WM which i have been on for years

But after a lot of reading 3 things Have held me back

Full exchange Support

Installing Apps to SD

& Tethering

Now these are Implemented in 2.2 and as soon as HTC announce a definate date (not most likely to get one as they have stated) i can finally look forward to switching over

So i think that HTC need to release this upgrade especially for a phone that's not only still available but at the moment their flagship Android Device
[Desire General] bedeabc:
I for one cannot wait for Wifi tethering.
[Desire General] Gana1991:
I'm expecting 2.2 to be released around August-October and then Gingerbread to be release, by HTC, around March-May.

We have such low expectations of HTC updating quickly after the **** up with the Hero devices that things can only get better. If I'm not left in the dark over the period of my 2 year contract, I'll be happy.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
Froyo is coming to the Desire faster than you all think.

HTC says that they are working on 2.2 for all 2010 released devices, the Desire and Droid Incredible being the first ones. So at least we know our Desire's will be the first HTC devices to receive 2.2. And again, full flash was promised for our Desire's in June/July.

Nothing official but my feelings tell me I will be installing apps to my SD, officially, before August starts.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
if gingerbread will be out q4 of this year then I expect froyo to be out Q3 is is not that far away :)
[Desire General] ediflyer:
Makes me glad I went for an unbranded unlocked Desire - I worry some of the networks may try and lock this down. Disappointed not to hear anything about Bluetooth tethering though :(
[Desire General] zaphyr:
but updating to froyo will make you loose root :(

better wait until a rooted froyo is out ;)
[Desire General] mikes69:
Bigger market for portable handwarmers with 2 hour battery life than I'd assumed! :) (Based on G1/Cyanogen at least)
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Surely a rooted version will be released before the non rooted?

Means it coming to the Nexus One in a couple of weeks, meaning it will be easy to just port that rom straight to the desire and lose the sense ui, untill htc release it.

But surely it wont take htc long to put sense over 2.2. Means 2.1 - 2.2 is only a 0.1 increase, that suggusts it is not a big release, hence very similar to 2.1 so shouldnt be too many problems.

Where people who bring the hero into account , 1.5 (or 1.6 never used a hero so dont now) to 2.1 is a much bigger leap!
[Desire General] stingerpl:
via Engadget news:

:D :D
[Desire General] Phil750123:
O i didnt expect that, thought they would of started with evo means it the newest one.

Nice to see there acknowledging that the desire is a very popular device so doing it first to make a lot of people happy! Nice to way to keep the majority happy htc :)
[Desire General] vfrvulcan:
But the Desire is the closest to the Nexus One in hardware terms (which Google used to demonstrate 2.2 yesterday), so not too much tweaking required there. Hence I'm not surprised the Desire will be one of the first to get it. :)
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Yer good point actually, didn't think about that!

Obviously only have a little team working on the updates though, doing it a phone at time.
[Desire General] th3:
A release before mid-July would make me happy enough -- not later. August-October is also my expectation for an official release.

Not to be a killjoy but these soundwaves mean very little in an industry which likes to manipulate peoples minds with PR and marketing. One of the common uses of this tactic is to buy time when needed (increase customer/share holder optimism, etc). We learnt how such releases work over the past decade aptly from semicons IBM and AMD.

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] abc27:
As I said earlier, we won't be seeing an update until Q4 or late Q3 at the earliest by the look of it.
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Why do you think this?

Surely upgrading the desire 2.2 will increase it sales? Well get a few extra that they might not of already got.

As far as im away there no big new htc android phones coming out in the UK in the very near future?
[Desire General] abc27:
I'm fairly certain we'll be seeing another HTC phone for the UK market soon.
[Desire General] Phil750123:
The only phone i now of is the wildfire, which is just a good cheap handset.
[Desire General] zzleezz:
Hah! There is one thing that HTC will be aiming at and that is to be able to steal Apples thunder when they release the new iPhone 4G.

4G comes along with its new bells and whistles but a week earlier or maybe on the same day HTC release Froyo on its mainsteam handsets it will be like sticking a pin in a big green apple shaped balloon! :D

So with that in mind we are looking at July at the latest if the rumours are to be believed. I hope so soooo much, and I hope HTC keep us updated and give us a release date soon, if I have to wait too long I will be looking at rooting and a N1 rom with 2.2

Hehehehe, just came across this info when searching for a release date for the iPhone 4G

I will mark the items that Desire already has with LOL and the items that we will get with Froyo with HAHA

A few features of iPhone 4G:

Unified Mailbox (all email accounts in one area). LOL

Application folders. LOL

New wallpaper/background options. LOLOLOLOL (sorry, sides hurting)

A new, sleeker body design. ermmm LOL?

OLED screen. LOL

Multi-Tasking. (use multiple functions at once without going in and out of apps). LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

iChat camera (on the front so you can have video chat!!!). pff, dont want it, was on old symbian phones years ago and the idea was ditched as nobody ever really wanted to do it!

32G (basic) and 64G of memory. You're sure to never run out. LOL/bah

Removable Battery. LOL

Hi Definition Camera. LOL

Hi Definition Camcorder. HAHA

Hi Definition audio. LOL

Messaging light. LOL

True GPS built in. LOLOL

So, the results are? Obvious, Desire will be better than the 4G even WITHOUT Froyo!
[Desire General] abc27:
It has a better CPU for gaming (Apple A4)

Proper Multitouch

Runs Native Code (Probably the most important)

Very high res screen

Still doesn't make up for it's numerous flaws.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Yes, but I doubt it will be a replacement for the Desire.

The Hero lasted over 6 months as HTCs flagship Android phone (until the Nexus One), and 9 months as HTCs own brand flagship (until the Desire).

I expect the Desire to last until September at least, and possibly longer than that. They won't want other handset vendors, e.g. Motorola, Huawei, LG etc, to steal all the limelight by having Froyo on board too much before they do.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Desire can run apps that are at least partially native code, if they are coded with the NDK. Note that "partially" isn't the drawback you might think - in the context of say a game, you could have the basic entry menus in interpreted java and the actual game part of the application could be 100% native.

Also, with Froyo, we have a JIT making the performance impact of interpreted java far less significant.

Regards,

Dave.
[General Questions and Answers] sovereignty:
I've been searching but have not yet found anyone working on a custom virtual keyboard. Go ahead and slap me if there is already a thread somewhere where people are already immersed in developing a new one.

I think a lot of people would agree with me when saying the iPhone keyboard is much easier to use (ok go ahead and correct by saying it is because of the capacitive touch screen). I think is has to do with the subtleties such as the slightly larger horizontal spacing and quite a bit larger vertical spacing between the keys. Quite possibly the activation area might be a lot smaller on an iPhone key instead of covering the entire graphical area of the key. I think just reducing the active area of a single key would greatly reduce mis-strokes!

Since I am not a WM developer, but only a dreamer, all I can do is give suggestions.

Maybe it is not worth the effort, but it'd be interesting to see what the minds here at XDA could come up with to replace the default WM6.5 virtual keyboard.

Thanks to all the XDA Developers...keep up the awesome work!!
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
you mean onscreen keyboards?

there are piles of custom ones for wm6.5 and all other wm's as they work for all of them

some are from htc some are from custom developers some who look just like iphones some got t9 some got swipe instead search away

i'm using darchdroid rom and the 3d gallery is just giving me too many problems.. isn't there a regular non 3d gallery that will work with an AOSP rom? ive downloaded several roms but im not finding an apk that resembles what would be a gallery.. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] Jjday7:
I'm not sure what it's called but I was curious on what sort of problems are you having. Maybe it's the rom itself or a bad flash. I have the gallery3d running on the leak rom and it works perfect.
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
it's an issue with the rom i believe. Sometimes it won't load images at all is basically the problem. Other times it works great.
[Hero CDMA General] aaron130:
Ive been meaning to ask this for a while and just never got around to it. Ever since Ive got 2.1 in my Hero Ive noticed that even with delete from server UNCHECKED in the email app it STILL deletes when you delete from your phone! Has anyone else noticed this?
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Never wanted my server to get stuffed with a bunch of email, so I can't say that I've experienced it. Good luck though!
