You know what HTC just keep getting better, I left Sony a month ago and Havnt regretted it one bit! If HTC keep going like this I'm going to stick with them all the way, I have desire right now but can't wait for their dual pro phones!!
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
me too :D high five lol
[Desire General] Yod-b:
so it seems not i'm gonna give HTC an xmas present (money), but they're going to give me one... nice of them, really :)
[Desire General] kartnite:
Hmmm, been reading a lot about this. :) Fingers crossed.

Thanks for sharing the news.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Well December for unlocked desire users. Branded users will have to wait ages until we get it :P
[Desire General] miczk:
One of the best news in this month :)
[Desire General] kevincombo:
Great news!

I Was looking forward to this

[Desire General] Ronaldo_9:

[Desire General] superliam:
giggity giggity
[Desire General] mortuus82:
Good news i was worried they would skip it.
[Desire General] MattSkeet:
Could not get any better

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App
[Desire General] bruno1211:
No... It's silver one that was launched long time ago... ;)

Btw. This is great news :)

Sent using XDA app from my Desire
[Desire General] mayurh:
awesome news.hope htc release it soon;)
[Desire General] SkykeN:
Am I wrong or is this news not yet confirmed by HTC?

How credible is this source?
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
came directly from HTC during a press conference about the release of the HD & Z in Taiwan.
[Desire General] mnaeh:
News from my country. Looks like new Sense is really coming to our beloved Desire:

http://forum.benchmark.rs/showthread.php?t=228871&page=73

For those of you who can't speak Serbian, HTC's official, Vladimir Malugin stated on their presentation that new Sense will be released for the "old" Desire. Fingers crossed!
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
whooppeeeeee!!! I wonder if this update includes fastboot?? I personally don't think so as hTC might hold it off the Desire so that we may be jealous of HD & Z users, correct me if I'm wrong
[Desire General] vpraveenis:
Why do you think fastboot is such an important feature?? Of course it will be nice to have, but there are many more useful things in the new sense like htcsense.com integration, landscape support of homescreen and media player (with interface similar to coverflo..) etc.. :D

I hardly have to keep re-booting my device once I set it up the way I like... Only need to re-boot for occasional zip flashing and a 1 min wait time does not bother me much.. If htc includes, it's great.. if it doesnt, then it's ok too... All we want is the new sense with the web integration.. ;)
[Desire General] kekkle:
The current Sense HD Roms support Fast Boot, so who knows.
[Desire General] slowatsch:
This is why I buy HTC devices over Samsung paper-tigers. Good software, good support. For all my devices I bought from HTC I got good software upgrades.
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
I'm in school, so whenever school starts, I switch my phone off, and as you might have experienced, the Desire likes to take it's time both during bootup & shutdown, so fastboot would be a nice feature to have.:)
[Desire General] Lucas0511:
Right, in the middle of festive season HTC has nothing else to do than to release an update for a phone that is close to end-of-life. Better plan for other christmas presents, because this one will not be under your tree :-) htcsense.com however will eventually come, because HTC needs subscriber base.
[Desire General] Nickedynick:
It's not like production and product support stop just because it's nearly Christmas. And the phone is nowhere near end of life - it's not even 6 months old yet!
[Desire General] hamdir:
most important the Desire specs are far from outdated, both the desire Z and HD are more like 1.5 upgrade in terms of specs plus HTC still didn't release a replacement for the desire in form factor and screen size, we still didn't get desire 2

one more thing to consider HTC did update Sense on both the touch pro 2 and diamond 2 after the HD2 was released with it's much improved sense
[Desire General] kekkle:
If the Desire is EOL. Then the Nexus One must be too. Yet I don't see that happening. So no.
[Desire General] bliblablub:
nice news :)
[Desire General] bruno1211:
That can't be true! I just bought mine... (month ago)....

Sent using XDA app from my Desire
[Desire General] slowatsch:
As long as HTC produces no new google-phone (Nexus Two?), the desire is far from eol. Google will have problems to explain why they stop supporting their own phone...
[Desire General] Kashban:
You know that the Nexus One isn't being built anymore, yes?
[Desire General] htc fan89:
Actually videotron not sure if I spelled it right is selling nexus one through them but its T-Mobile version....
[Desire General] ste1164:
Wrong, the nexus one is still being built but it's now a developer phone. Like the Android Dev Phone 1 and the google ion.
[Desire General] w04g005:
HEy guys, what are you thinking about this:

"HTC Locations, HTC's new mapping experience, comes preloaded with TomTom's location-rich maps, resulting in a zero-wait navigation experience. HTC Locations is initially available on the new HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z smartphones in Europe and Asia and will be extended to a wide variety of

future

smartphones and geographies."

I took this from a press release posted on engadget.com

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/21/...-htc-locations-promise-zero-wait-na/#comments

Does this mean that we probably won't get an upgrade? or an upgrade without HTC locations. That would be a pity.

greetings

Matthias
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
Why worry?:D

Devs here are nearing the completion stages of fixing the Sense HD Camera, so if you really want the Locations feature that may not be on the future update, the download a DesireHD Rom when the camera is fixed ;)
[Desire General] dergago:
Tell me more... can´t find any HD-Roms for the Desire... I think it´s easier to port the browser and htcsense.com (fake id)

But... can´t do this... :(
[Desire General] elburna:
RCMixHD? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Lothaen:
got my hopes up then that there was an update coming out next month for desire htcsense.com :(
[Desire General] glumardok:
Keep calm! The Desire will get HTCSense.com, this has been explicitly confirmed by HTC. In this sense, the Desire is in fact a "future" phone. And HTC Locations is a feature included in HTCSense.com. Ergo: Our Desires will get HTC Locations. And the Desire is by no means eol. To the contrary: HTC is earning millions and millions with its production and sale! And that's all a company wants - to make money.

Therefore, HTC must be utterly stupid to stop the support of the Desire as long as it is their goose with golden eggs :-)

I am convinced that the Desire therefore will get Gingerbread as well.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
in my experience, the only problem with the desire is the limited internal storage (I am non-rooted still).

the HD version I think is a bit too weighty and large when I compared it side by side (along with a Galaxy S).

internal storage isn't much of an issue if dev's add app2sd on a lot of stuff - and if i only install stuff I will actually use!
[Desire General] dgattenb:
whats this got to do with sense????
[Desire General] Lothaen:
still waiting for it to make an appearance - don't see any reason why it can't run on the original desire...
[Desire General] pzhekov:
Do you have some information about official Sense HD fo Desire? The half of December is and nothing came out.
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
Nope, this is all I have, I'm starting to assume that htc's December 2010 is june 2011...=.="
[Desire General] magickiller9:
Nvm its ok let wait for it, there still 11days! who knows HTC might gave us a big christmas present.
[Desire General] Adix4u:
Well seeing the way things are going with HTC trying to promote the Desire HD big time, im not too sure weather HTC will ship the new sense for the Desire Orignal atleast for 2.2, Maybe they will just bundle it up with Android 2.3 :cool: and provide it as one last update to the orignal desire.. :(
[Desire General] Johny_G:
It is not that sad since we have all the community work going on :-). We will have Gingerbread running before HTC even notices it is out ;-).
[Desire General] ste1164:
Correction we have* gingerbread running on the desire :P
[Desire General] chebula:
Froyo came out on sunday/monday, update 2.29..... came on sunday/monday, so i belive that they give out updates on sunday/ monday. So be patient... maybe tomorrow is the day :)

(pls excuse my bad english :)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
something big like this i think they'd announce - bit like we knew Froyo was coming...

especially when it can bring attention to their Htcsense.com thing - i cant see it happening before the new year - its a big push to get people to get a new handset for xmas (DHD/DZ)
[Desire General] chattyuk:
The HTC Sense website isn't working properly with the desire HD, Z and HD roms on the desire. Hopefully they are working on these problems before the service is extended!
[Desire General] /rant/:
I think it's kind of weird they haven't announced it yet. They have to port it to the original Desire; HD & Z are great devices, but they would be killing their platform if they restricted it to those. The Desire itself would provide them with a bigger user base.
[Desire General] @StevenChap:
They should give the original desire the update really, I hope its soon tho
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I'm sure they said/I read they wanted to extend it to as many devices in the "HTC family" as possible...
[Desire General] wulls:
Any news on the htcsense.com for Desire I thought HTC said the update would be out by Xmas ?
[Desire General] /rant/:
I don't think it will come. Besides that, I've seen it on the HTC Desire HD and I am not really impressed. Anyway, do you have a source for HTC actually saying the new Sense would come?
[Desire General] -sky:
I am confident that they will extend the service to the Desire. It is just not old enough to be abondened. It it still up to date since it doesn't have a replacement.

It seems to me that they might have problems and won't roll out the update until htcsense.com works flawlessly.

I know, sounds weired to not be a beta tester...
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
It is a bit weird. I know that our Desire phones are still selling big time. And we still haven't received the new Sense.

What is even more strange is that software update for the Legend has the following number:

3.15.405.3

And we have the following:

2.29.405.2

Does that mean the HTC Legend has a newer Sense??? My friend has the Legend and I have noticed the animations while apps are opening on his phone...

Hmmm, makes me wonder.... Anyone has more info regarding this?!

I don't really care about Gingerbread as much as I care about the new Sense!!!

In case you want to see the little and nice bits that have been implemented in the new sense, click here: http://www.htc.com/europe/htcsense/index.html

I LOVE SENSE and I really want it updated on the Desire!!!!
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Omg guys we'll get it if HTC decides to. I certainly hope they will at some point, and they probably will, but it will take some time.

sudkcoco: Please don't compare version numbers across devices. HTC starts new devices at 1.something and goes up, as they decides to. It has nothing to do with sense versions(hint:desire HD is on 1.something) as for animation, this is not a major thing, and they could easily implement it on desire as well.
[Desire General] Bashar .:
no update yet...
[Desire General] Kanzar:
I guess the whole 'coming in December' thing didn't pan out, ey? :P
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Not at all - unless they will release with Gingerbread - could make sense if they will throw out Gingerbread to desire HD / z they might throw it our way when they've done that?
[Desire General] escort82:
Htcsense.com will work on desire?when,was that official?
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Unfortunately nowhere.
[Desire General] chris3cr:
Perhaps with Gingerbread coming out they decided to hang on and code the new sense on that. Would make more sense from a development point of view.
[Desire General] BalooZ:
I'm just hopefully waiting for a Gingerbread ROM with htcsense.com access... but I think I'll keep that dream warm for a while.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
does it work properly on DHD and DZ ? HTC support seemed to suggest they are still having bugs with it...
[Desire General] vicpol:
Frustrating

I think HTC Desire should be the first one to get this service because is the first one in its class.

Paying $500 for a phone like this and being left last in the line, is frustrating. Also this phone was nominated as the phone of the year.

I think htc is playing a game here, to sale they're other (newer) models. We should keep writing/phoning htc until they give it to us.
[Desire General] Meaple:
Couldn't of said it any better :D
[Desire General] jprosen1:
any new news?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
nope, afraid not :(
[Desire General] Phantom Pt. II:
Well, did anyone notice that HTCSense.com has the photo for the Desire (Bravo) all setup and ready to show on the website?

It only has the HTC Desire and obviously the current available HD and Z. When trying for for example Legend/any other you'll get a stock image.

Thoughts? Already known?
[Desire General] yasingedik:
a clue?

After you pointed out, I checked the css and yes our desire(bravo) is there.

That's definitely a clue.

A part of css:

.select-phone-list .phone-image-span.desire-hd{background-image:url(/$assets$/338a0f0d-0452-46d6-a5ee-f8609c2e50b5/Ace_front_20100915.png);}
.select-phone-list .phone-image-span.desire{background-image:url(/$assets$/338a0f0d-0452-46d6-a5ee-f8609c2e50b5/Bravo_front.png);}
.select-phone-list .phone-image-span.desire-z{background-image:url(/$assets$/338a0f0d-0452-46d6-a5ee-f8609c2e50b5/Vision_Front.png);}
[Desire General] Lothaen:
That's interesting - i wonder when that changed;
[Desire General] Matty Matt:
:D I can't wait to see this to be rolled out into new roms! I'm guessing a similar Sense UI to the Desire HD will be coming too? maybe the super-fast boot of the HD to come across too? :P
[Desire General] Lothaen:
You'd assume it HAS to be updated because I think htcsense.com talks to a little addon-app thing in HTCSense UI 2.0 (or 3.0?)

it might not have all the full features of whatever is on the DHD but should at least be a little update I'd guess.
[Desire General] irenedakota:
Um, isn't that kind of the point of a for-profit company?
[Desire General] Phantom Pt. II:
Think I found it ~2 weeks ago. Although it has probably already been there. No way to tell when it was uploaded on there.
[Desire General] jyny:
HTC SENSE 2.0 on desire

Today i read htc is going to give new sense 2.0 to desire, they know from htc members.

Here is link in slovak version:

http://www.mojandroid.sk/novinky/mojandroid-sk-htc-potvrdilo-spustenie-htcsense-com-aj-pre-desire

and google translate:

We bring great news for all owners of HTC smartphones Desire. New HTC HD Desire and Z have the opportunity to take advantage of new enhancements HTC Sense and 2.0 htcsense.com that provide interesting and engaging features to their owners. These features will be available for popular Smart phone HTC Desire. Information for MojAndroid.sk confirmed by representatives of HTC at an informal meeting with journalists. Release date for this service Desire yet been announced, but we can look forward to news on the MWC in Barcelona, where this feature could be notified.

Listen

Read phonetically
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
That's great news! :-)

It's about time desire got an update!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
that would be good news!
[Desire General] escort82:
Wohohooooo gooo Htc!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I dont want to get too excited until we see something more official about this update - and a possible date....
[Desire General] b4kk3r:
AMEN to that...
[Desire General] lvnatic:
I really doubt the new sense will ever come to desire because it has very low internal memory. The new sense rom on Z/HD needs 350 mb, desire has only 200. It will either come but very limited or never will. At least we can hope for gingrbread...
[Desire General] itachi1706:
How did you know that the new HTC sense needs 350 mb of memory?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
It's running in ports though from DHD and DZ
[Desire General] Lothaen:
https://www.htcsense.com/us/#account/create

https://www.htcsense.com/uk/#account/create

inspire 4G popped up as an option
[Desire General] itachi1706:
Isn't that because the inspire 4G is technically the desire HD with a few tweaks? And inspire 4G has sense 2.0 so it should be inside.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Months later it turns out it wasn't true. You'd think the members of this site would have learned the lesson from that OBVIOUS example...nope, someone else posts some unsubstantiated glimmer of hope and once again "Oooh...I can't WAIT!!! Such good news!!!"

C'mon guys, smarten up.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Just wanted to bring to attention that they are putting htcsense.com on 'more devices' (even if they basically are the same phone) :)
[Desire General] medowl:
who cares about htcsense.com with all these great roms available here ?

i personallly dont like Sense that much at all, rather have me a more sober system
[Desire General] Terepin:
But this time it came from HTC.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
htcsense.com looks cool! :)
[Desire General] Jamsi:
Yea, it does......if it worked properly. I can log in but I still can't see the tabs in there. Only the main screen.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
does htcsense.com work with a DHD rom on a Desire if you can get the account sorted out?

Now that there's some sign of 'an update' from HTC (being possibly sometime around May-Sept) - I am pondering on rooting and trying a different ROM...
[Desire General] RoryHa:
Do it!.. you will be happier, trust me :-)

I've tried two custom rom's since I rooted and preferred both to Sense. I guess the feeling of control over your OS is reassuring.
[Desire General] mortuus82:
wow this sucks...:mad:
[Desire General] :
I can let my phone ring but thats just about it. Location doesnt work yet and even tho my phone is 'locked' (according to the website) i can still use it. But i believe this is a general issue and not rom/device related, for some people it works and for some it doesnt.
[Desire General] Casey Ryback:
Okay, it's been six months and still we haven't heard anything about htcsense.com. Is there any other way to get it for the desire than a desire HD rom? I would find htcsense.com really useful... :( I want it!
[Desire General] erklat:
No. Official development for Desire ended on August 1st with the official release of Gingerbread. You won't see any Sense updates for Desire.
[Desire General] longy92:
Its working on my phone. Maybe that's the ROM though. Reflex S, is that based on a port from the DHD?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
yes it is.

see: Ace S 2.36.405.8 WWE base, Gingerbread 2.3.3 android (GRI40) -
[Desire General] filipd:
Just installed InsertCoin and HTCSense is working great. Tried the "find position" and "alarm" thingy and it works.
[Desire General] itachi1706:
Seeing that HTC have already stopped supporting the Desire, they probably won't be giving us htcsense.com. the only way is probably to use a DHD Rom.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
noticed my htcsense.com is very basic.

with a sensation it seem you get footprints, people etc.

is that because of our phone type or because of what version you say you are running when you sign up?
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
On pic. there were only desire hd and desire Z not Bravo model, if Bravo will be on htcsense.com he must have Sense 2.1, am I right or I mixed something?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
yea, no the bravo image was on there hidden in some code - but it won't appear on there properly
[Desire General] Ravens97:
When i tried HTCSense.com from my desire running Leedroid 3.3. Its only showing the main screen. No tabs or anything, just the main dashboard. Ring my phone works and so does find my phone. When i spoke to HTC about why the other tabs wernt there i was told HTCSense.com had mantenance going on and had been going on for the past week or 2. When i asked when will it be done? He said he doesnt know. Maybe this is why none of the tabs are showing at the moment?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
got someone with a sensation and i showed them what I get and they showed me what they get and its two massively different things.

foot prints, people, htc hub, all missing on my htcsense.com
[Desire General] snakeeyes21:
good luck with waiting, its bee like that since it launched
[Desire General] ms|ayrton:
So guys isn't there a way to use all the functions of HTCSense.com on a Desire with a custom rom?

Is there any rom that works perfectly with it? Thank you!
[Desire General] itachi1706:
A Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM will probably have all the features. :D
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i did post about this recently - I have a feeling it might be something to do with the ROM fingerprints
[Fascinate Android Development] zeroxg4:
As the new OC'd Voodoo kernels have come out (from JT and Dirrk), I wanted some clarification as to how exactly one would go about installing an OC'd Voodoo kernel from 0.2 Voodoo stock.

I've been hearing that you have to "remove" Voodoo first, "disable" Voodoo first, or even just install the new OC Voodoo kernel on top of your 0.2 Voodoo stock. It seems a little convoluted and ambiguous to me, and I was wondering if someone could kindly clear this up as simply as possible.
[Fascinate Android Development] mastibeta:
You can install right over top
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
If you are running a VOODOO kernel, version 0.2+ and just want to flash another voodoo OC kernel, you can flash it right over...whether it is jt's over dirrks or vice versa....

Now, if you want to flash another REGULAR kernel and you have voodoo, then you MUST run disable_lagfix FIRST...otherwise, you will end up with lots of trouble... :eek:

I have been searching around for a Resident Evil theme and/or boot animation and haven't found much for the EVO. I thought an entire resident evil or Umbrella corp theme would be pretty sweet.

Any crafty DEV's feel like tackling it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiercedCow:
I am all about it. If it gets done i will be #1 to install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REDFOCZ:
I think that will be an awesome idea, I will use that if it comes out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armystrong:
I love the idea I would be #2 to install it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkingcorpse:
Would love to see this happen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremiah239:
I would really like to see this I love Resident Evil (the games and the movies) and I don't care what number I am I just want it! ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exclamation_mark:
Well at least I am not the only one. Good to know there is some other interest in the idea. Hopefully if the interest continues to grow then we might be able to see one in development.
