1. Correct, before I got my Htc hero I had a Htc diamond (winmo device) and only since I had android I have lot's of funny apps

and games (some useless apps some quite handy) because of the market. And out of the box it has all the things my htc diamond had.

2. True it doesn't play divx files, but convertors are fast and there should be improved support in froyo.

3. A bit of a frustration point with my hero, it was promised an updat to 2.1 in september/december last year... it still isn't there.

Had something to do with an SKU key wich google had to approve for each and every country.

The nexus, desire and legend all have the same SKU so google only needs to approve one 2.2 rom for htc to release an update.

It's supposed to come end june... But still as you can see Htc sense delays updates, but adds to a great android experience imo

4. If google keeps updating like this I can imagine android 2.3 or 3.0 or whatever being released before june next year.

The hero already is a year old and still gets an update (a bit overtime but still...) But I don't know if htc will offer an extra update

to another android version. But I'm sure some dev's will make it work for you :)
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Rooting, which you may or may not want to do, my G1 runs android 2.1 just fine the now. So im not worried about the upgrade path for the Desire.
[Desire General] lynxboy:
Why are so many android users unaware that divx is supported by the player yxflash? It did get bad press when it was first released due to buggy playback etc.

but on our 1ghz superphones it works just great. I use it on my nexus one and have recommended it to friends with the desire who use it without issue.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Probably because the general consensus of opinion is that yxplayer (now renamed) is rubbish. I've never got a single DivX file to play at an acceptable frame rate.

Dave
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I don't know where you get this from, but Android 2.1s standard mail client supports Exchange.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Stafflover:
He's confused with 1.5 or 1.6 wich has Htc exchange support instead of androids.

And about the divx, I like thing working straight out of the box, that's what you pay for

so I only commented on this because I think it should just work in stead of using apps
[Desire General] adesonic:
I have had several winmo phones as well as a palm pre. My last phone was an HD2 which is great phone but the desire has it beat, my advice- get one!
[Desire General] copex:
winmobile. the one thing i dont miss.

i say goto a mobile retailer and ask to see the desire and try it out.

bet you buy one :-)
[Desire General] Noodled24:
^ Probably am going to. I think i'd prefer a nexus one... just because of the more direct approach of google, quicker upgrades etcbut I hate the little track ball, the optical track seems a better idea (does it light up by the way).

Was on the phone to orange cancellations this morning and they agreed to sell me a Desire for £49.99 with the contract being 300 minutes, unlimited txts and unlimited data for £10 per month inc VAT. Which seems pretty good... now I just have to wait for them to get the handset back in stock, which should be monday... and also have a go at knocking them down from 24 months to 18.
[Desire General] lynxboy:
Well I'm grateful for being one of the lucky ones! I previously held the above opinion when trying to playback on a Hero, but ever since I have used the Nexus performance has been great. This is coming from an old WM user who experienced the "wonder" that is TCMP/Coreplayer. That said, comparing playback today between my Nexus and friend's Desire, the Nexus certainly came out on top.

Anyway it just bugs me when I hear people saying that DivX playback is an impossibility on Android. It is a possibility. Although the interface is ****, for me and others I know it works well, so hopefully the OP will not be put off.

Here's to hoping that the DivX Player/Framework will be ported from the upcoming Samsung phones ASAP!!

Regards.
[Desire General] Kloppy:
Just upgraded fom the blackstone last week. At first I was a little unsure whether it is a good idea, since i was not at all unhappy with my phone. Sure, I cannot watch videos that easy (just copy dvdrips onto the phone... done) but just about everything else is just amazing. It is sooooooo damn fast, the internet experience (now you may call it that) is nearly as smooth as on a desktop pc. Also the screen looks fantastic, the colors are just so intense, you really have to see it yourself. I heard lots of horror stories too, pinkish screen, straigth lines seem jagged, no 'real' multitouch etc. But you have to try and look really hard to find these. These flaws are not noticeable during daily use.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
The problem with yxplayer is that it is still interpreted Java - there's no reason why a decent DivX player couldn't be written using the NDK. Still, I can't see any reason whatsoever why it should work better on the Nexus One than it does on the Desire when they are practically the same phone.

DivX support for Android is out there - Archos have it, as do LG and Samsung - the difference is that they almost certainly built support into core Android rather than just as an application. HTC also announced that the Desire would be getting an update to support DivX, but they seem to have gone very quiet on that subject.

Having said all that, I'd imagine that the Froyo JIT would help yxplayer tremendously.

Dave
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bundys:
Does anyone know which one of the following quality options gives the best video? The options are "High, Low, MMS & YouTube". I've tried high and youtube, both giving me the same bitrate, so just wondering if they're using the same codecs. Would obviously prefer one that did h264, not vp8, which Google seemed gung-ho about at the conference.

My car dock has snapped at the thinnest section on top after a month of normal use. Will call HTC seeking a replacement. Has this happened to anyone else?

I also have a picture attached for your viewing pleasure.

[Nexus One Accessories] JHaste:
oh wow, did it snap while you flicked the little clip that holds the phone snapped in?
[Nexus One Accessories] superwario5:
I flick in and flick out quite a bit but I noticed it was broken today. So I don't know when exactly it snapped. The phone still stays in, but feels loose. But not loose enuff for it to fall out under a moderately hard braking situation. I called HTC, will be replaced under warranty. Hopefully no problems with the second one heh.
[Nexus One Accessories] MadFlava:
You better call back. They dont replace those. You send the old one back and they credit you and you have to buy a new one.
[Nexus One Accessories] superwario5:
just got off the phone with HTC. They sent me a fedex shipping label and cross shipping a new dock to me for free. The woman was very nice and understanding. She said she had no protocols to refer because accessories replacements weren't set up in their computer but she took the time to grab a supervisor and edited a nexus one replacement form to say nexus one car dock replacement. "Much success, very nice!" -the great philosopher Borat
[Nexus One Accessories] xxmonsterx:
had htc not been willing to replace i was gonna suggest good old super glue lol

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasosruls:
SOS!!! im not computer specialist so i made a mistake.... I used this ROM

Benko's Ultra Lite & Clean Windows Mobile 6.5.3 ROM , the full and prime version... I didnt make any hspl spl etc... Since then, Im not able to put our phone's old Rom because when it is syncrhonised and im trying to install the Rom, my phone disconects and it shows a Red, green blue, whit picture with this:

DIAM100 MFG 64M

SPL-1.40.OliNex

MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0X32

.....HELP MEEEE!!! :'(:(:(:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
you are in bootloader mode...you can flash any rom you want simply using the customRUU.exe included in the rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasosruls:
can you please describe it step by step? im begging you and thank you for your reply....................
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] minuted74:
restart the diamond from the red button under the stylus and hold the volume down.

the diamond will rise again with a screen with colored stripes, connect the USB cable and flash the rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasosruls:
im trying to do it and it just goes on black screen, disconnects and then nothing..........................
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
Okay, download an official HTC rom for your device in the language it came with (look up wiki pages for diamond, you'll find them there).

Hook up your phone to your computer and since it is already in bootloader (the red/green/blue screen) just double click the file you just downloaded and follow the instructions on the screen.

Don't worry...your phone will be fine.

btw...your spl is 1.40.OliNex......that looks like unlocked to me (hardSPL)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasosruls:
reay? well i dont know... i bought from someone.... i'll let you know of how it goes.. thanks a lot!!!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasosruls:
May i ask you another silly wuestion? How do I fsh a rom? because in all cases, the phone must be synchronised with the pc.. oh and my phone says"serial" in the white box..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
you can flash a rom connecting your phone through usb...then you should see usb instead of serial..then flash using the software you use abitually
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasosruls:
it only writes serial... doesnt go to usb mode............. ::(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
this is strange..try to hard reset your phone...press soft reset then keep pressing volume down and center button till you see a grey screen then press volume up and you are done
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tasosruls:
well im such an idiot! all I had to do was to rename the nbh file to diamimg.nbh an di was renaming it to diaming! this is it! everything is fine! thanks for your time! god bless you all guys....!

Well, that's a more common critical typo then you might know....lol!

Glad it worked out for ya.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Dionili420:
So yesterday i decided to root my HTC magic 1.2 (my touch 3.55mm jack)

Root went well (had a small problem finding the correct sappimg but i found it,

Got Ra's recovery working as well and flashed an allmost stock fender rom/w root.

worked with no problems.

wanted to try 2.1 (eclair i think) So i flashed a str0kes rom. went easy looked cool but was too buggy for me (no usb teather! or wireless teather! or BT)

so then i wanted to try CM and i've had alot of trouble trying to understand the steps for flashing this rom, i was able to get it running (touch screen and all) but it was very slow

what i had try to do was just flash the cm mod update. (hell it worked)

then i came accross this

[Rom][32a][3.22] CyanogenMod 5.0.7-Stable Eclair 2.1 (05/28/2010) Mod Revision-2

Witch sounded awesome

I had no idea how to downgrade(i think i got close?!)

Or what i really had to do, i was able to get to the andriod screen but it hung right there. i tryed flashing the downgraded spl and rom but it refused to boot passed HTC magic screen. tryed flashing a diffrent radio and spl and it bricked (update fail :( ) so i have a new one on the way and my buddys to pratice on.

Can anyone help me/ explain to me how to install the oc'd rom?

Thanks in advance and sorry for you're time :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dustinearley:
If you would read, you'd notice that the newest release from Cyanogen himself says it will work with myTouch 1.2. You need the kernel for 32A, the ROM, and the Google add on. Flash them in that order and your good to go. I've been running it on a myTouch 1.2 that I rooted using instructions from unlockr and here and it works perfect.

I can't post a link, but the thread in under Dream development as Lean Mean Pastry Machine.

BTW, I would not recommend running 5.0.7 OC. 528 was FAST... Super D fast.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Dionili420:
WEll i fugred out what lead to the bricking of my phone. apparently the downgrade guide i followed was for the older 32A models.... Dang...

So after rooting with a gold card i should flash the 32A kernel via ra's recovery then flash the cm mod?

(how do i install the google apps?)

I may try this out soon on my other my touch (brrowed my dads lol..till monday when my new one gets to me!)

The unlockrs guide was helpful, i pretty much memorized the rooting process

-creategold card

- transfer sappimg

update via hboot.

Flash radio and spl for touch screen.

Then flash amon ra's recoery rom correct?

After that i should boot into recovery flash the kernel then cm mod? should i reboot back to recovery after wards?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Dionili420:
So can anyone hook me up with a little instruction?

I would like to access theplaynow store, but everytime i open it I get a message saying it foreclosed.

Any way i can make it work? I should say i have an x10i and live in the US is that the problem ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Trezzz:
I was having the exact same problem till today when i got the UK Generic X10i Firmware (R1FA016).

I too had an X10i on TmobileUS with R1FA014
[XPERIA X10 General] cmboud:
So how did you get your x10 to update when i use pc companion or the automatic update on the phone it tells me there is no update available for my device and SEUS forecloses every time i install it on my pc say something like 'looking for network failed"

Would love to hear how you got it to update!
[XPERIA X10 General] needmoregigs:
There was a solution posted earlier if you used the search.

You have to set you clock to +1 or +2 gmt, launch playnow, and update. This fixes the playnow force close problem. I'm on the same R1FA014 as you and check everyday for an update in SEUS with no luck. Good luck fellow US X10 owner.

edit: sounded like an ass. My apologies. I just want people to use the search more frequently so that new and unsolved problems don't get buried by problems that have been solved.

[HD2 General] NREYNOLDS:
I would like to know this aswell, if anyone out there can help ??
[HD2 General] Sofrigo:
any news on this one? It woul be a very handy app.
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you use Launcher Pro as your launcher then you can open that page with an activity shortcut.

Long-hold the home page to add a shortcut and go:

Shortcuts, Activities, Dialer, Call forwarding

It still takes a few seconds to populate that page, but it has to get the information from your provider every time you start it, so there's nothing you can do about that. It is, however, a shortcut to that page.

If you don't use Launcher Pro then I don't believe you have the ability to add activity shortcuts.
[HD2 General] t.gilbert:
I know its been a while since this was requested. I have just changed my car and the new one has an old factory fitted Motorola startac fitted as a factory option. Rather than mess and fit a new hands free kit I was wanting to forward my HD2 to the Startac.

I have just found the way to do what you require. Firstly use your file explorer (i used resco) to unhide hidden files. Then look in the windows folder on your device and look for CMcallforward. You should then be able to send this to your start menu. Im using Cookies Home tab so I was then able to add this as a quick link.

Hope this helps, cant get much better than a one button option
[HD2 General] bokechukwu1:
I used to be on tmous stock rom and could talk on the phone and surf the web at the same time, anytime as long as I has 3G connection now, flashed custom rom and now I cant can anyone tell me what the settings are for this or if they have this issue this really came in handy for me plenty of times thanks for any insight, regisyry hacks or settings anyone can provide for me I really need this
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
If you're not able to talk on a call and pass data at the same time, the odds are that your data isn't getting a 3G connection and is falling back to an EDGE connection (which isn't capable of simultaneous data/voice). Since you just flashed a new ROM I would post in the section for that ROM and say that your data is EDGE now instead of 3G...I'm guessing you'll need to try a new radio or something similar, but that's the best place to look for the answer.
[HD2 General] bokechukwu1:
thanks for the reply but I understand what you are saying, but I do have 3G connection at least thats what my phone says im going to try the new 2.13 stock rom and see if that helps because it used to work on the orginal stock rom, if not ill just be flasking back to a custom rom
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Gotcha, well yes then I'd start there. I don't know if any of the custom ROM's for this phone have a different radio version than stock, but if yours does then that could be the root of the issue. Or, just a bad flash even :)

After having a HD, I was suitably impressed with the quality of images from the HD2 camera :)
[HD2 General] avemn1:
Really? How do you rate the HD2 Quality overall from 1-5?

I love it, just the screen quality, size and contrast make my friends lust over the phone especially when I'm in picture mode. :D
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I love the screen but the actual camera doesnt seem to do it justice, the old photos on my sd card, taken on my N95 on the other hand look fantastic on the HD2 screen :D

[HD2 General] erik8308:
These are my thoughts about the camera.

As longs as there is a lot of light they are pretty good, but when you are forced to use the led flash or dont use it in low light I say the pictures arnt any good.

My old camera a sony ericsson k810i had a xenon flash. It could take awsome pictures in the dark.

What are your thoughts on low light fotography with the HD2? I would really like to tweak it so it improves.

My photos :)
[HD2 General] jan-willem3:
If I would rate I would say 3-3.5 it is a good cam for just shooting some nice pictures outdoor. Video quality is pretty good in my opinion to. Shooting in the dark if you keep it in your hands without moving you get good pictures (for example in a bar). But it quite difficult to keep it steady espescially when you have drinken some alcohol :D. But at daylight you can take good macro for example documents.

Overall I would say a good outdoor shooter. But that is not very special for the camera's at the moment.
[HD2 General] pettekneuz:
Didnt u notice the pictures look much better BEFORE actually taking the pic with flasher? Thats because the camera cant get used to the new bright light in like 2/3 secs, Here's the fix;

Get the torch application (search for it, should be @ this forum) and leave it on before making a picture. While you're at the actual camera app you shouldnt turn the flash on since youre using the torch. No bright flash when making the picture.
[HD2 General] pettekneuz:
First one was without any tweaks in a pretty bright shop (just bought it at that moment)

Second one is my cousin on his new bike.

As you can see the tweaks DO improve picture quality A LOT!
[HD2 General] damnshah:

[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
I did some tests again today, on the way to town. Cant see any big difference though:)
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Seems that all the photos have a pinkish hue to them (I can't get rid of it now, I see it in all HD2 pictures, no matter how faded the pink is, it's there.). Although it is very light due to the awesome lighting. I guess the pinkish problem is exacerbated when one is indoors using horrible bulb-lighting.
