[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chili1496:
hello all, looks like i am going to enjoy this site very informative.

anyway i am a new htc desire owner (iphone convert) and have as yet not found out everything about the phone.

little things like the market search, is there away to remove/clear previous searches from the list?

are there any real must have apps that should be on the desire by default but are not? i did notice there was no default "note pad" or did i miss that :)

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Hi welcome to the comunity, as far as clearing your market search history you may want to try history eraser its free on the market and cleans ur market search history and much more :) and as for must have apps. Theres so many i wouldnt know where to start lol i think you can use quick office as a notepad app btw
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siid1:
I wouldn't be so brave to name must-haves, cuz don't know what is you use your phone for. But can give you the apps which stayed on my Des (and I really tried and uninstalled a lot):

- TuneWiki for medai play

- the weather channel (love the widget)

- kindle

... thats all. For all the other functions I still use the bundle apps.

(very specific, but worth to mention: World of Warcraft authenticator. Its very easy to install and use, free, and despite of this you still get your pet :) )

From what source have you heard this.
[Desire General] Judge584:
hi,

Don't want to be rude, but without source this post is useless.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
+1

plus I got no orange ROM anymore :(
[Desire General] david632:
not beening funny here but why is it,that every day someone comes out with a new rumour, fact unbranded desire will get there updates well before branded handsets, and iam looking at least a 3 week wait if iam lucky.

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/34139/htc-froyo-update-delays-explained

read that guys

that was posted 18 hours ago so from the sounds of it we aint gonna get 2.2 officially for a while.
[Desire General] huwwatkins:
Yup, but it also sais
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Site's keep selectively quoting this interview it's annoying.

He specifically stated this as well:

"the updates are going quicker than could be expected: "I don’t think you’re going to see that really long six month, seven month lag, like you saw in the updates from 1.5 to 2.1, simply because it’s a less severe change."

EDIT// Ah you beat me.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
he also said before christmas so could take them as long as November.
[Desire General] olly230:
I was checking about 3g signal outage and asked the call centre person on the off chance.

Lady on the phone said I shall receive a text in the next 2 weeks.

So my source is an Official orange representative in the phone function department

I got her to confirm that I was talking about the 2.2 release for desire.

Still could be b/s but if that's the case I was out and out lied to.

I wasn't hassling her so it wasn't a lie to shut me up. I posed the question at the end of a pleasant conversation about signal outages.
[Desire General] david632:
olly you cant believe all that you hear from customer service folks, memory serves me well, dident one customer service say we will have it by the 23rd of june? that turned out to be b/s , ive not been a andriod owner that long but one thing ive learnt is always take what you read on here with a pinch of salt.
[Desire General] fjevel:
$5 says the cs rep thought you were talking about the 2.1 u1 update...

I am actually impressed with the total lack of interest many of the cs departments I´ve had contact with actually has for the products they support. Most of the cs departments actually know less than the average techsavvy customer.

-KJ
[Desire General] olly230:
I can see no reason for her to have lied :confused:

If I was gobbing off saying that orange a sh*t and that they take ages to release updated roms, then fair enough. Fob me off with a lie to make me go away.

but I wasn't and this was a zero stress call.

the 23rd june one said there is 'an' update coming this time I have been categorically told about a 2.2 update for desire.

The other bit of info I forgot to pass on was that I was told that this will be a two part update.
[Desire General] neoKushan:
How could Orange possibly have a timeframe in place when HTC hasn't even finished the Generic ROM?
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
Well the only way we can find out if this is true or false is to wait 2 weeks ;)

So if there's nothing by the 21st of July then she lied, but if there is then happy days :D
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
who would want a orange branded ROM anyways ha ha
[Desire General] barrons:
Yeah is true no link no truth to the story.... orange need to put it on there site or something
[Desire General] jstegeman:
Whether it's true or not, you'll get a Froyo + Sense rom whenever you get it. I guess it's fun to speculate, but meh
[Desire General] LeeDroid:
I can say 100% and dont doubt me, I have my sources, that this is very inacurate, as of yet Orange have no word on a froyo update, HTC has not published anything publically or on a coporate level. :cool:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Might text my mate who's a manager at one of the Orange call centers - see what he says...
[Desire General] wingphil:
Aren't orange users still on 1.15.x.x firmware? I bet she was thinking of the 1.21.x.x update from last month.

Reminds me of last month when you got a bunch of people going OMG OTA UPDATE IS THIS FROYO??!?!?! when it wasn't even out on the nexus one yet.
[Desire General] sky|ined:
I think this is the way things go: Google releases froyo, then HTC releases froyo for Desire, then providers can release froyo for their branded Desires.

Anyway, I want my device rooted so not really interested.
[Desire General] codeXcalibur:
Not true, a spokesman of HTC told a big Austrian newspaper that FroYo for Desire will come till the end of August:

Me. I'm pretty screwed if I need to send my phone back. That's what insurance is for I suppose.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
well yes for insurance purposes its good to have but I wont be running a orange crapware ROM on my Desire :)
[Desire General] tori007:
orange doesn't check their phones

i replaced my touch hd twice with a different rom and no complaints

they just give u a new one

actually they exchange the new one no questions asked
[Desire General] mercianary:
That's great news. Thanks. :)
[Desire General] bradmax57:
yeah was about to say they just come and exchange them via TNT :)
[Desire General] r2b2:
As an ex-Orange call-centre employee who worked in that department I can tell you for a fact that the people who you would talk to about signal would have no way of knowing this information. They would get a notification on the day it is released OTA or on the website, if anything.

She was just trying to keep you happy so you'd give her a better feedback score.

Sorry :-/
[Desire General] wuthton:
There is no chance of a Froyo update before Christmas for Orange.

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/06/htc-complete-android-22-upgrade-christmas/

Read it and weep, Hero all over again.
[Desire General] neoKushan:
Try reading the original article instead.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I cannot believe how many tech websites are quoting the Pocket Lint article, and then completely failing to understand what has actually been said! They also only quote a small part of the article and miss out an important paragraph that NeoKushan has already quoted.

Here's a hint for you - today is before Xmas, as the rest of July, all of August, September, October, November, and most of December.

[Desire General] Cuchulainx:

I cant help you with your connection settings but with regards to the java thing..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
sounds to me like the 3g toggle is set to off. (that or you simply aren't in a 3g area.)

you say you can get to mobilegenie, so obviously the connection works. its the same connection whether 3g is on or off, so messing with the settings is unlikely to have any effect.

forget that that's wrong, (well, not strictly wrong, but potentially inaccurate enough to ignore)

its

settings menu all settings connections
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodybuilder27:
I deleted all of the bull **** settings that orange gave me, deleted all my data controllers etc, hard reset, let the phone detect settings automatically.

Now all I do if I wanna use 3G mode, is simply click on or off in comm manager.

But, I have NO clue what roughly download speed should be for 3g....but i used uk broadband speed checker.....always been reliable for me, for years.

My resuly while in 3G mode while sitting on my bed (lol) was 376 Kbps download speed.

I have no clue...is that ok? acceptable for 3g?

cheers

First off where are you at? Edit, figured out you were in the EU ...

Is this a EU or a TMOUS HD2

If you are in the EU and Have a EU version then 3G should work fine ...

If you are in the EU and have a US version 3g may not work fine ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodybuilder27:
I'm in South Wales, UK...near Cardiff......my phone version??

ermmm, well in "about phone" it says:

T-Mobile Leo (which I can't understand as i got it on contract from orange....why would it say t-mobile??

cpu: QUALCOMM (R) 8250B

speed: 1024 MHz

Ram Size: 576MB

Data Bus: 32 bits

----------------------------

Software = Elegancia 9.5 rom

Radio = 2.09.50.29_2

protocol version 15.36.50.07U

manilla version = 2.5.20121412.1

OS Version: 5.2.23569 (23569.5.5.0)

---------------------------------------------

This all sound ok and normal?

I'm lost as to why it says T-Mobile Leo...REALLY lost, coz it was bought from orange shop, orange contract......just threw contract sim away and installed a 3g orange pay as you go sim..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Well that certainly looks like a TMOUS Leo ....

Maybe someone can wade in here, but as far as I know, the TMOUS version will not get good 3G in EU ..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
easy way to tell if its normal or tmous,,,, is the send key green? is the end key red? if they're both white then its regular, red+green= imported tmous.

the definitive way is settings about phone hardware info flash size. 512 regular 1024 tmous.

it could easily be that the shop simply bought a box of hd2s from t mobile uk, inter store sales, maybe a freelance shop, whatever

oh hang on, cooked rom. no doubt based on tmous stock to unlock the ram, which could be why it's showing as a t mo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodybuilder27:
got the box in front of me..says: HTC HD2 T8585..thats about it...will have to open box for 2nd time ever and have a look.

were the 3g download speeds ok?

Matt
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
ah its hard to tell speeds and what you are vs what you should get. 1 bar 3g is preeeety slow, indoors, sat next to a large electrical output (your pc) maybe a desk lamp, all these things affect speed.

The bbc did some speed tests last year, and orange scored an average of 1.1 Mbps( a third of their advertised speeds), and they likely did static tests, maybe outdoors, probably in main city centers with decent 3 or 4 bar reception at least, so your 376 Kbps, 33% of their average, sounds reasonable. Its not a very exact science, mobile speed testing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdfanatic:
TMOUS has disabled all icons showing things as "E", "H" and "3.5+" etc. Your acess depends on the band you are on (compare specs of the phone with the same in your country). Install custom rom or just toolbar and all icons shall appear correct. If you need apps PM me

Hi All,

I have had VillainROM12 on my phone for a few days now and all was working fine. Today I opened the market and the phone froze. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone but now it wont boot past the hero logo. I have tried wiping the devlik and doing a factory reset but it still doesn't work. I also tried restoring the phone using nandroid back which i created when i first installed VR12.

Have you guys got any idea what I can do?

I'm in the process of re-flashing VR12 to see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks in advance.

hi,

i have a desktop and a laptop and have a couple of folders synced by microsoft live sync. is there an android app to sync some of these folders to the sd-card of my htc desire?

if not, is there an app, that can sync some folders on my desktop to my htc desire on the sd-card. i tryied dropbox, but you can only sync the dropbox folder. if you want to sync a folder outside of it, you have to work with junctions / hard links, that's not what i want to do.

i want to sync my photo folder of the sd-card to my desktop and some folders with excel and word files.

I'm on a Mac, but in my Dropbox prefs, you can define the folder for it to use. If that's the case on your platform, you should be able to set it to the same folder Microsoft Live Sync uses...

thanks a lot
[HD2 General] pixine786:
You know what this question might just get you flamed. :D

Get a code from T-Mobile to SIM unlock ... Call T-Mobile customer care and send ur proof of receipt thru Fax.. they will send you the code to your email address. (I got mine in 5 hrs) TMO guys are very friendly and they will surely help you.

Someone might close this thread as well

Wait, before all the flames - I'm sorry I haven't mentioned it but I am not the one who bought it from t-mobile nor do I live in the US at all. That is why I am looking for a software solution rather then getting the code from tmo which again, I cant get.
[HD2 General] pixine786:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadeemhasnaat:
Hey guys i recently updated to FRF91 manually ( stock google update ) and i am facing a couple of annoying glitches.... the purpose of this thread is to have a centralized list of all the problems and workarounds hopefully:

Flash: Well before FRF91 i had FRF50B in which i had an option ( in the browser settings ) to turn flash off or on demand.... Now its missing in FRF91

Messaging: firstly in conversation threads my picture is not shown and i cant figure out a way to get it to show my picture ... by the way it was ok on 2.1

Market: Market is very very very slow even on wifi .... Plus whenever i uninstall or install an application it gets stuck on the progress bar ( when u go to an app's description page and click on install it shows the progress bar which shows the download progress and once downloaded it shows install progress and thats where it gets stuck, even after the application has been installed.

Browser: Browser also seems a bit patchy.

Any one of you all facing any of these problems ?????
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Flash (or actually, browser settings): are just in the same place.

Messaging: I think it was mentioned on the forum, together with solution - but don't remember the thread.

Market: it was mentioned 10000 times on the forum, together with solutions. The easiest of them is to clear all Market data and cache in App management. It flies.

Browser is great and fast as hell. The only thing it's missing is the need to enter "about:debug" to get to UAString setting. I'm waiting for someone to recompile it, leaving the debug settings always on.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
The issue with your picture not being displayed in messaging is down to your phone number being programmed on the sim card.

Go to Settings > About Phone > Status. If "My Phone Number" shows as unknown then the phone is unable to recognise your number against your Facebook profile hence why nothing shows.

My understanding is that the phone reads this info direct from the SIM card so perhaps a SIM update from your network provider will solve this. Alternativly inset your SIM card into a "dumb" phone and it should let you change the number programmed on the SIM card. Android cannot do this for some reason (although ive heard the iPhone can!)

I have this same issue that you have, but on a HTC Desire with custom Froyo ROMs. I don't remember it being a problem with the stock ROM, but on a Desire this stock ROM includes HTC Sense which I think does its own Exchange stuff, rather than use the Android Exchange apps.
