Wow, considering that X10 is considered still a *new* phone Iam very suprised that so many users are abandoning it so soon for another phone...

Was it such bad? and correct me if iam wrong both X10 (at launch) and DHD do cost a hell lot of money, arround 600 euro without contract... seems now that X10 didn't worth its money ^_^

Its a shame to see the Xperia brand go downhill when the first device was made by HTC:P

Now, come to think of it DHD masses up many negative points, Very limited battery life, no HDMI port, 3gp video format (WTF)... can't say I love this phone so much now...
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
They had their chances and they ruined it.

if they release the phone as soon as they announced it, without the 1yr delay, and actively support with software update. x10 would have been the king of Androids.
[Desire HD General] Jim P:
True, by the time DHD comes out X10'll probably still have Android 1.6 and its 4 inch display will never suport multi touch...

DHD with its froyo 4.3 inch multitouch will be the most astonishing (android) phone out there...

Really, its delayed to 15th of november?
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
The dates keep changing like the weather, i dont even know what year im on anymore..

Ive sold my Blackberry Storm (9500) on the 25th of September waiting to have the DHD shipped today and these delays just ruined everything ... i dont have an alarm now how the hell im going to wakeup !:confused:
[Desire HD General] Jim P:
hahahahaaaa, precious...:p

I've been meaning to ask, My winmo Xperia X1 alarm works only when the phone is turned on, If the phone is off the alarm won't wake up the device, and keeping the device on all night is simply battery waste.

Does the android devices wake up on the alarm when they are swiched off?
[Desire HD General] phunkycow:
They don't turn on, so you need to keep it on for the alarm to work. But to conserve some battery you can switch to Airplane Mode I guess. :)
[Desire HD General] Jim P:
Damn, I think symbian spoiled me a little bit too much over the years:p yeah, Airplane is the way to go...

Πάντως αδερφέ πολλά τα 600 ευρά μέσα στην κωλοκρίση, ελπίζω να έχω καλή επιδότηση τώρα τον νοέμβρη, πάνω στην ώρα δηλαδή...
[Desire HD General] phunkycow:
[Offtopic]I couldn't agree more, I'm getting a sim-free one as my plan expires next August. :eek: But I've been saving for a while now and will probably get it with an installment plan or however it's called (δόσεις). :p [/Offtopic]
[Desire HD General] Jim P:
I saw somewhere that vodafone may have it as an exclusive, maybe Iam wrong but if this is true in greece at least then me and you have a fighting chance at getting this damn phone before it leaves as broke:p

Swiching and braking contracts in greece is the way to go!! (πως το μιλάω το άτιμο το αγγλικό:D)

I returned my iPhone 4 to Apple and I asked for a refund. And yes, I'll buy the Desire HD :)
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
No, you will only get EDGE.
[Desire HD General] riz157:
well done pal, you won't regret it (probably).
[Desire HD General] Beards:
Depends on why he returned the i-Phone 4
[Desire HD General] Jim P:
indeed, If I had an iPhone 4 I would'nt replace it so soon with such a similar device...

Heck I found it peculiar with the guys with the X10 (which is even a little older) willing to change it for DHD...
[Desire HD General] Taskman:
Planning on switching to the Desire HD from iPhone 3GS.

I know the camera might be somewhat "bad" on the DHD but I hope it is on pair with the 3GS.. Then it is a keeper. That is about what I need on a phone for a camera.

Have other aspects that is more important and as of now I'm all for getting the DHD when my contracts end in Nov/Dec.
[Desire HD General] lordmaul5:
i used to have a Leo or also known as a hd2, but it got stolen. so now the insurance company is giving me a brand new Desire hd, just got to wait until it comes to oslo. i loved my hd2, but i am betting on that i'm gonna love the desire hd more!
[Desire HD General] Cartier23:
I will sell Galaxy S and buy Desire HD as soon as possible :)
[Desire HD General] VrxZroX:
im rdy selling my X10 to get desire HD too =D
[Desire HD General] xazac:
Oh, all of you can't imagine what I had with it!

I bought it on the Apple Online Store on July 20th, and they delivered it at the end of August. Well, I opened the box, I looked at it and... there was a scratch on the aluminum body! But it's not yet finished: both microSIM slot and 3.5mm jack was defective, and there was some dust between the display and the glass. So I called Apple and they didn't want to give me a new one, so I asked for a refund.

Then I bought a new iPhone 4 again in a store, 2 weeks later. I thought it worked well, but it had an issue with the display: there was more than 1mm of space between him and the aluminum body :eek: the multitouch worked very bad (sometimes it didn't recognize where I was tapping), and the proximity sensor was driving me crazy! And yes, there was dust between the display and the glass on this one too. So I asked for another refund, because I have a very negative experience with the Apple Care (I had to send my old iPhone 3G four times to get a new one that I sold).

So, that's why I'm waiting for the Desire HD, I won't but an iPhone 4 anymore.
[Desire HD General] Jim P:
well that explaines a lot:p apple is a fruit that doesnt suit you...

I had the false assumption that you wanted to change it just for the hell of it.

Lets hope that DHD lives up to its hype;)
[Desire HD General] xazac:
I just wish it will not have any issue LOL I don't care about if it's better/worse then the iPhone (Android/iOS I mean).
[Desire HD General] eddyrick:
I had a Tytn ll before going to a Samsung Tocco Ultra, if the DHD is as good as its reviews and looks then I think ill be back to HTC for a while.

can't wait to receive the DHD, just waiting for Orange to release it
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Im also sick of my Galaxy S, its a real shame but every time someone calls me after about 5 min I get a blue circle with a line through....no signal.

Combine this with the lag and weird black screen and Ive had enough, Id rather drop a bit of photo and video quality to have a phone that works..

Desire HD pre ordered, knowing my luck froyo would have fixed all my issues....then again...maybe not, either way Ive had it with Samsung.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
And yes I rooted and applied lag fix but it if you cant make phone calls or receive them then whats the point.

No I wonder whether the HD is even going to be shipped this month :(

Fingers crossed
[Desire HD General] Seraphic:
It's quite amusing, I've been switching between Android and Apple devices over the last year. iPhone 3G -> iphone 3GS -> Desire -> iphone 4 -> Desire HD.

Its funny, when I switched to Android after the 3GS I really missed all the apps and games so I got an iPhone 4. Now I've got that I love the camera but just can't stand the Apple walled garden, the fact that I can't even add attachments to emails, the useless notification system, selective multitasking that just doesnt work for me.

So the iPhone 4 is going to Mazuma this week and I'm awaiting the Desire HD. Preordered via Amazon and Play, whichever gets to me first will get my business and the other will be cancelled.

Can't wait!
[Desire HD General] maurobok:
Haha, I too have changed in recent years several pda. Latest HTC HD, HTC Magic, Touch2 Htc, iPhone 3Gs, Htc Desire, and then I booked, Htc Desire HD.

[Desire HD General] deadite66:
the 15 hours battery life in the cnet review worries me.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
15 hours on the first charge is pretty good imo. It can only get better. Besides 15 hours can easily get you through the day.
[Desire HD General] jmohik:
Hope I am not making a big mistake

DHD looks very good, a beast phone, decided to get one

I have been a Windows mobile user since the ipaq

Hope android serve my needs. Sync (Tasks, Notes)

And hope to find a software like Jeyo Mobile Companion as I paid for it ):

:(:(:(Very nice Application): for sure will miss it :(:(:(
[Desire HD General] wonderwout:
My Nexus One has to go into repair to have some dust removed under the screen. Since I do not want to part with my Nexus I decided to buy the DHD to make me feel better while my Nexus is away.

The DHD then has a couple of weeks to impress me until my Nexus returns and I will decide which will be my daily phone.
[Desire HD General] hyocca:
ditched my desire for DHD.

A fast upgrade though.

First time doing this in my life.

Desire has too little internal memory.

Driving me nuts.
[Desire HD General] havoc99:
Left HTC HD2 for BlackBerry 9700 and had my HTC Hero on the side. Got rid of the BB and am just waiting for the DHD. Hero is annoyingly slow. Can't wait for the DHD. WM7 looks good as well. :)

The XDA app is pretty much Tapatalk. Tapatalk has this feature and is a paid app for $2.99 on the market, there is a free version but doesn't allow you to post on the forum.

The only reason why XDA app is seperate from Tapatalk is because they rebranded it: http://tapatalk.com/rebranding.php

Since this is here (and I'm sorry if it's been asked before) but does anyone have issues with or a fix for it FC'ing after posting a reply? I think I've only been able to make 2-3 posts without a FC.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
It's been asked before... many people have encountered it. Not sure if Tapatalk Pro (they are technically both the same) causes it as well, I'll check it out and post from my phone when I get time and report back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiley42:
Hello All,

Love this site BTW!

Here is my situation.

Currently a personal pay Sprint customer using the EVO. My service plan is the 450min/Unlim/Unlim plan plus the all important $10/mnt 4G cost. (Still no 4G in my area!)

Now I am thinking of letting my company take over my services, in which case they will most likely use the basic Phone/Data plan, not the Evo plan.

If that is the case, and I keep my Evo, will it still work with data? Or will Spint do something to disable it, somehow, if its even possible?

My company standardizes on WinMo phones, so it would most likely be a TouchPro 2 phone that I would normally get, however I will request to keep my current phone and only have them take over my contract.

With ATT I only needed to swap out my SIM, but with CDMA I dont have that luxury.

Hope this made sense, and am looking forward to your wisdom.

Cheers,
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
It depends on the specific type of plan they put you on. If it's a business essentials plan with the PRO data pack, or a business advantage messaging and data plan, you should be ok, as long as they pay the extra $10 premium data fee on top of the plan. If its anything other than the two plans and options above, you may not be able to keep the EVO. Sprint won't disable the data service on the EVO to get it to work with your corp plan, instead, they just won't let your company activate it unless they change the plan to one compatible with the EVO. And the $10 is required, even on corp accounts.

Don't give up so easy! :) Try to keep the EVO if you can. You may face the same roadblocks with any Android phone.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerbak:
Hi everyone!

I recently started messing around with some new kernels and themes but I find some wierd things happening when I go from one to another, so this is just my way of asking: "Is there any specific folders to wipe when in recovery mode before flashing a new kernel and new themes..?"

Until this point I don't know what the different "wiping" categories in recovery mode are for, only that they wipe a different section of the settings and applications on the phone.

I would be very thrilled if someone could explain what they each are for (what part of the system they wipe). I'm running Amon-RA 1.7.0.1 in case someone would wonder

Thank you very much in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Kernels won't need a wipe in my experience. Usually same for themes, though potentially could need a dalvik cache wipe. Check with your themer for clarification if needed
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerbak:
Is it only the Dalvik cache that needs wiping between roms as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Between roms, you usually need to wipe data. Check with the dev. When going between devs, data almost always needs wiped.

Well my phone is bricked (stuck at vibrant screen) AND "Hardware Locked" (cant use button combinations to get to download mode or recovery) after trying to install a kernel that ended up not being for my firmware version..

IF at all possible i would like to be able to get into download or recovery mode but since im hardware locked i dont know how, so if anyone has any suggestions then their are more details in my previous thread.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788189

BUT if i can't possibly restore my phone to working order i would like to get it replaced; now i have heard that you can get a free replacement under manufacturer warranty since it is "Hardware Locked". if anyone know if this is true and/or how to go about doing this, i would be eternally in your debt

That's what I did when Odin bricked me. They replaced it right there in the store. Even the techs on the phone didn't know what was going on with it. It was kind of funny to watch actually.

On a side note, why the hell are we still using Odin to flash when it is capable of bricking so often, when we have a perfectly good means of flashing through Clockwork?? Just saying.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trashcan:
if you have passed the 30 day return..you can still get Tmo to repair it because you have 1 year warranty. just pretend that you don't know a thing and say the other day you turned it on...it just got stuck on the vibrant screen.

I used Odin to flash the JI2 firmware and had no problems; it was only when (like an idiot) i used Clockwork to flash the new OC kernel without reading that its only for the STOCK rom >.<

[Captivate Android Development] blackjackboy:
Bricked your phone? You've come to the right place, if you're one of the blessed. A lot of the newer Captivates have button combinations disabled. Before you go modding your phone, make sure that you can get into download or recovery using these button combos. If you can't, your best bet is to return your phone to an AT&T store and beg for a new one.

THE BUTTON COMBOS

Power-power

Download-volume up+volume down+plug in usb cord

Recovery-volume up+volume down+power

There you have it. Thanks for reading.

What is the point of this when there are 3 methods in the Odin 3 one click thread which is a sticky? Just curious how this deserves its own thread.
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
When my phone was stuck at the Galaxy S logo, i was able to send the adb reboot recovery command to it to get into recovery mode.

Are bricked phones normally stuck at the logo too, or was it just me?

I wanted to link to just the button combos in the bible. Also, the one click Odin isn't a sticky anymore.

[Captivate Android Development] fox945:
Why don't you just link to a single post in a thread or post in the odin thread and link to that single post? Just a suggestion so there isn't too many threads started for just a little information like you posted. Great work on the bible though. Glad to see a lot of stuff being compiled into one thread.
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
How does this relate to development? With a title like this, i thought we had some button hacks.

BAH!
[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
You should also include more than the button combinations as well if you're going to make this post useful. Simply holding the volume buttons + power will do absolutely nothing on my phone. I spent a good amount of time looking for more detailed instructions on recovery mode when the phone was new and no one posted them. There are also a lot of posts that talk about the at&t splash screen flashing and when to release the buttons but that's not terribly useful either. Download mode is a little more covered but still has lots of people giving different instructions. For those the future new people that might read this thread,

For Recovery mode:

Power off

Hold both volume buttons

Push power

Release power when you see the AT&T splash screen

Release the volume buttons a second or so later

After the splash screen goes away you should be in recovery mode

Continuing to hold all three buttons will simply cause the AT&T splash screen to flash at you. I can also continue to hold the volume buttons after releasing power but it is not needed.

For Download mode:

Power Off

Plug USB into computer

Hold both volume buttons

Plug USB into phone

The above will immediately send my phone into download mode. For flashing, most people recommend the steps below to maximize the chance of success with Odin

Power off

Remove battery, sim, microsd

Open Odin

Plug USB into computer

Hold both volume buttons

Plug USB into phone

Put battery in

You should now be in download mode and free to flash with odin.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I agree with the holding volume up and down while plugging the phone into the computer with Odin opened and configured to flash soon as it detects the phone.

All other methods only add confusion.
