[Desire HD General] BlameUREdiction:
Absolutely. Of course we're all looking forward to receiving our new Desire's of the HD form factor... but the wait is almost quite exciting - just keep checking those email inboxes for 'Your Order Has Been Dispatched!'

Not to mention I have come to the conclusion that I have far more important things going on in my life... like 'life' itself.

It'll arrive within 26 days, we know that much at least!
[Desire HD General] Captain Splash:
I'm waiting for amazon to confirm it and so far they have denied it.

So hope is still alive :D

Clove is far more likely to be right about this than amazon. Sorry :(
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
I spoke to someone at Vodafone this morning, and they haven't heard of any delay.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
It's possible the rumours that the carriers are getting them first is true. For the sake of 5 days or so I'd rather wait for the Sim-Free handset I'll get rather than the branded version from Vodafone.
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
True. If I get one via Carphone Warehouse, it should be unbranded shouldn't it? Really don't want a branded phone.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
If carriers are getting the phones before sim unlocked ones are out, then that's still good news because we'll have users here who can give us their impressions. All i want is someone here who can answer all our questions and doubts about the phone.
[Desire HD General] funfair:
My provider delayed the phone till the 22nd of october. It was the 18th.

Confirmation from Superetrader

Just got this e-mail from superetrader saying that the DHD will be delay until mid to end of the month.

See attachment for the e-mail
[Desire HD General] Bartkevin:
lol vodafone branding doesn't mean its locked :) just has some branded software installed, and a bit of rooting can fix that! :D
[Desire HD General] maruchan78:
Carriers have usually got the phones first, not sure if this was the plan all along. Looks like the DHD with Vodafone will be the awesome black one. Any chance of these being unbranded/full of junkware? Would love to pick one up after seeing a few reviews..
[Desire HD General] Captain Splash:
Based on what? I've been a phone freak for years and i've never heard of them. Amazon are the biggest online retailer in the world and indeed they posted the HD on there site BEFORE it was announced. So sorry, but I'd trust Amazon over a site i've not heard of.

No one else has heard of a delay and none of the gadget/Andriod blogs are reporting one either. Play have jumped the date by a week. But other than that there is no news of a delay (even Google News aren't reporting one)

Added to which most of us had never even heard of "Google testing" until yesterday. Anyway whats to test? the hardware is pretty much the EVO and the software (although slightly updated is the same as the Desire)

superEtrader has now confirmed a delay untill the end of october...

Oh well the HD is worth waiting for IMO

The danish supplier Mobilityshop has postponed the delivering date to the 29th of october :(

[Desire HD General] madindehead:
I hate to ask this, but how on earth can a mobile like the Desire HD fail Type Approval testing?

Do people here even know what Type Approval Testing is?

Surely, when designing the phone, they would try to meet the specs, and Type Approval would be given pretty easily...
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
I'm not one to fuel this kind of bullcrap topics, but if the reason given is "type approval", you can be sure they are making "regular"/detalic customers gobble up quite another load of bull****, betting on consumers' lack of knowledge (about the slang).

In the case of cellular technologies/GSM/3GPP, FCC certification is responsible for the TA.

Unless the acronym TA was misintrepreted, it would rather be Telecommunications Approval, but then again, this doesn't change anything. It's still FCC.

This has NOT A SINGLE DAMN thing to do with Google.
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
Type Approval simply means, has it met the required specs that are set out. There is a safety/min spec etc that it has to meet.

They wouldn't be doing that days before release. No way. Let's just take it as follows:

htcsense.com isn't ready yet. That makes a LOT more sense, than the phone hasn't passed a test.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
BTW, expansys still have eta stock date to the oc 19...
[Desire HD General] LittleMerc:
Nope, mine changed to 25 oct... Expansys too...

Nope X2, its on the 19...
[Desire HD General] jamieeeee:
Belsimpel also changed theirs from week 42 to 43 (end of oct :( )
[Desire HD General] Captain Splash:
Amazon have moved the date to the 25th BUT....

according to Customer Services (and my account page) my order is still on track for the 12th......

Fingers crossed

[Desire HD General] oawalker:
Yea same here, but it's likely they haven't updated the orders yet but i am hoping it will come on the 12th
[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
Mobiles.co.uk have moved their date from the 8th to the 11th.

Fingers crossed :)
[Desire HD General] Captain Splash:
Amazon CS told me that i'd get an email if the date changed and in there system its an automatic email if the date changes.

I dont konw how true that is as CS reps can be a bit "variable" and "crap" but it aint changed yet.

Fingers and toes crossed :D
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
Amazon order dates often take longer to update than the release date on the item page. If it has changed on the item, it will soon change on your order I suspect. Had it happen to me before.
[Desire HD General] mickgeorge:
I pre-ordered from Clove a week or so ago, haven't received any email from them re delayed shipping. Not yet, that is...
[Desire HD General] :
Neither have Handtec, pretty poor customer service from Handtec i think... They should be informing customers that have already paid instead of just updating their webpage..:eek:

Vodaphone UK are saying they will have it around the 14th

http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/htc-desire-hd
[Desire HD General] maruchan78:
The back of the phone is black in this one not dark brown. In the list of specs it is listed as 'black'. I wouldn't bet my house on this being accurate but suppliers have said the carriers may get some exclusive color options.
[Desire HD General] whulfcastle:
I just checked my order at amazon and it seems that the phones are now being sold by superetrader and not by amazon. And a nice price increase too.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
holy why did they increase the price so much! I was going to preorder from there but now not.

Hate it when HTC does that..and they do that EVERY TIME!!! urgh...
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
Vodafone are also now saying receiving from 22nd October. Stupid if this phone has failed testing. Utterly retarded.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
What's really annoying is that there's no word from HTC. I find it strange that they've got the phone on their homepage, a lot of companies are advertising it and it's greatly anticipated by the public, but there's no release date on their homepage (never was), and now when it's delayed, retailers doesn't seem to know anything. Not even the reason. What's up with that?
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Well . . .

@abrasive

as far as HTC are concerned as long as they can get the phones into the public befor next month they have realeased on time, as so far what they have said is October . . . .

Also the retailers dont get kept in the loop as much as you and i would hope they will probably get an "its delayed by 2 weeks" if that. Unfortunatly this is what happens all the time. I orderd with superEtrader and they have been top notch at keeping me up to date which is good and i cant complain there.

On a brighter note the Blogs/News Sites are now getting hands on with the phone

http://www.androidcentral.com/desire-hd-hands

That probably means now things will move forword and they will probably ship in about 1-2weeks (thats the normal time that reviewers get the phone befor the public)
[Desire HD General] Smigit:
They've generally been pretty quiet since the announcement. Same applies to the SLCD questions not to mention the general low number of previews or reviews for the device. It's like their media relations guys have gone on vacation for a while.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Well, 15th of November isn't October. But lets hope Amazon is wrong.

Nice with the hands on, pitty there's nothing more to it than the pictures. And it's like you say with that it'll be shiped in 1-2 weeks retailers should have it in minimum four weeks. That's usually the time it takes to ship (by boat) stuff from Asia to Europe.
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
Hands on... They had working devices on launch event in London, so some pictures or review doesn't mean anything.
[Desire HD General] Craptastical:
El Giganten in Sweden is still showing it for Oct 15. Hasn't changed since I preordered 3 weeks ago.
[Desire HD General] Bartkevin:
HTC Benelux CEO told the site Tweakers.net that the release date in belgium netherlands and germany will still be 18th of october, he was wrong in the past but lets hope its the 18th :)

ROM Manager requires you to use ClockworkMod as your recovery. You are probably on Amon RA's recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotshores:
ROM manager by default uses Clockwork Recovery, but if you scroll to the bottom, you can flash within ROM manager to Amon Ra. Amon Ra is what I use to make nandroid backups.

What you need to do is download quickboot from the market. This just makes it easier to boot into recovery. The manual way to get into recovery is to power down completely, then start your phone while holding the volume down button, then select recovery. Quickboot app gives you the option to boot directly into recovery.

Once booted into recovery, follow these steps:

1. Select Backup/Restore

2. Select Nand Backup

3. Once selected it will immediately ask you "Create Nandroid Backup", press the power button to confirm and it will start your backup.

Hope this helps

Hey all, Ive been thinking about what i miss about my pre, and besides the obvious wireless charging (one can dream, right) touchstone, the one other thing i miss the most is the glowing of the trackball device at the bottom of the phone for a notification.

Now i know there are many people who have WIMAX Notifier and will say to use that, but i really dont like it as much as a more behind the scenes and clean look, and W.N. keeps crashing and is really buggy.

My app idea would incorporate the 4 buttons at the bottom using different patterns for different notifications.

Ex:

Text: Glow all 4 slow

Email: Run from right to left back to right and repeat. (8 secs for one rotation)

Missed call: Glow only home

etc.

I searched and was not able to find anyone in the developing stages of an app for this. I would be more than happy to assist with the coding, but i have no programs or anything downloaded so far, and dont really have any idea what im doing, though i do know C, Java, & C++ a bit and can learn coding quickly.

Any idea on if this could be made to work, im pretty sure there has to be a way the light sensor sends a signal to the mocrocontroller to light the keys, but can it be done independently, outside of that code section? Any words of where to start with development of this app?

Thanks for the advice, please keep it relavent and to the point, i would REALLY like to make this a reality. Also please link me to any current development on this if you can find any.\

PS. I have an evo 4g, but i assume this would be a global android app.

PPS. Dont let my low post count dissuade you from the ferver i have to make this app a reality. I dont post a ton, but i am very serious about creating/developing this app with some help.

Hey guy's, I've beentrying to install clockworkmod on my Epic for some time now to no avail. See, I just rooted my phone using the noobnl's "one click method v2.2.6". The only recovery I have on my phone as of right now is tthe stock recovery. I've read just about every post about the installation on clockworkmod recovery and tried accordingly. Still no custom ecovery. Im really noob to all this "wiz stuff", and would greatly appreciate any help you guy's could give me. Perhaps some DETAILED step by step instructions ( CUZ IM REAL BRAIN DEAD AT TIMES )?? I have DI11 installed on my phone as of now, and im running the stock kernel v2.6.29. again, Im rooted with "noobnl's one click" and I do have root. Also, I need to know if you download to my pc, then push it to my phone using command prompt? Do I flash it with Odin? And what do I do after I run the clockworkmod exploit? Will I have custom recovery after that, is there anymore steps involved? Thank you all for making this site the best web site I"ve been on so far. You guy's are the best. Please hel[p with my dumb question, and sorry to waste your time. Thankx IA..

Download the .zip from that. Extract it to your desktop and rename the folder "cwm". Open up command prompt. Type this:

cd C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Desktop\cwm
adb shell
su
remount rw
exit
exit

After that, run the run.bat from the folder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Excuse the stupid question please, do I have the sdcard mounted, or unmounted? I heard it can be done either way...
[Epic 4G Android Development] LSanna1488:
The only thing you use Odin for is to flash a complete .tar file. Ie, returning to stock, or updating to a new release DG27, DI07, or DI18
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Make sure it is NOT mounted as a mass storage device. Make sure you can access it from the phone. So, don't mount it.

Technically, custom ROMs can be made for Odin, too... But since it's not a very good method, everyone prefers the recovery method. noobnl released his first rooted kernel for Odin. Odin does a lot more than just complete .tars.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I ran the commands as you stated, then ran the exploit. It keeps saying,

"remove stock recovery patcher"

"device not found"

system (something) install recovery.sh permission denied

"system/recovery-from-boot.p permission denied

failed to copy 'zImage' to /sdcard/zImage: permission denied

reboot: operation not permitted

im failed for /sdcard/zImage, permission denied

So what do you think is going on? Any thoughts?

I had same exact issue. Went back to completely stock then rooted then did clockwork. Do not mount sd card. Follow instructions exactly.

Is your phone in debug mode? (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging) Did it actually let your run those commands I told you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Yes, my phone is in fact in debugg mode. My desktop command prompt does let me run the commands.

Adb devices

Adb shell

Su #

Remount rw

Exit

Exit

After I type the command "su" it gives me the #. Then on my phone a superuser request comes thru and askes to chose "yes" or "no". So I hit "yes". But when I run the exploit in the beginning it says "mount", and it says that the operation is not permitted... then it starts saying "I'm failed for" and "operation not permitted" and so on.. I think I'm missing a step somewhere but I don't kno...

Running su through adb shouldn't ask for permission the phone... that is weird.
