Sounds like it's the fault of the battery monitor in the phone letting the voltage of the battery drop too low damaging the cell.

A low current charge can often bring such a damaged cell back to life, where as a full current charge is likely to expose the damage and kill off the battery.

There are several things which damage lithium cells.

Heat is one of them, which is why if you're using a laptop that allows it, it's better to run off the mains where possible with the battery out. Of course this isn't always practical and if someone knocks the power lead off goes your laptop. With our phone's it's not an option. Charging also produces heat, the higher the current the hotter it gets, so short top-up charges are better than long charges.

Discharging them too low damages them. The phone should prevent this by stopping you being able to power on the phone if the voltage is too low, however it could be misreading the voltage. Sometimes they can be revived if the voltage hasn't dropped too far below the minimum, with a low current charge, but the damage would have been done so the battery wouldn't last as long as an undamaged one treated the same way and of the same age.

Time. It's a killer. From the moment of manufacture the battery's internal contacts start losing efficiency, giving the result of lower capacity over time. Heat increases this. There's nothing you can really do about it, just remember there's no point buying a spare battery to use in the future when your original one finally stops holding enough charge, by then the spare would have degraded too, so buy replacement batteries when you need them, not before.

1. Try on another computer, preferably with WinXP

2. Install/use PIMBackup (you'll need card reader - it can start form uSD card and save data there)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolHandPuke:
Getting mighty hacked off with my desire.

Ok so I rooted my phone and have a custom Tom installed. Defrosts latest helping.

Every time I set Widgets or install certain apps they dissapear after a reboot.

Any idea what's going on and should I just unroot back to stock and start again?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Is the widget/app on the SD card? This will happen with some so they need to stay on the phone memory (so A2SD+ comes in handy)

I will look to download it and try again. Thanks for the reply
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCCrampe:
Hi,

(First of all, excuse my english and my...noobness (?))

I have rooted my desire then installed oepndesire 4.0.36.

I had the same problem: all your applications must be installed in your sdcard otherwise they won't be there after reboot (with OD+cyanogen mod you've got an option to make it automatic).[EDIT]=>apps2sd indeed

But, personnaly, i still have a problem with applications with widgets:

i have 3 widget/icons (newsrob, juice potter...and facebook (sorry :cool: )):

These 3 apps were installed on sdcard directly, then i've installed their widget, but when i reboot the phone, widgets/icons have disappeared from screens and i can't find them anymore in my widget list; i just can make a shortcut toward the app, not the widget.

Could somone help me with this?

Thank you

[EDIT2]: It seems to work when i've reinstalled the apps/widgets after desactivating a2sd
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
Okay - I have a rooted Epic with no DI18 update. I tried to update and it gives me an error because I deleted the Sprint bloatware.

I want to manually update my phone to DI18 but I have a couple issues, and questions.

Issues: I can't get my laptop to even recognize my Epic. On my wife's laptop, it sees the Epic but can't install a driver. Every time I try to install a driver, it stops at the beginning of the install and errors out. (Win 7 64 bit on both machines). I have tried with usb debugging on and off. I rooted my phone on my laptop, so I don't have any clue why it won't talk to my phone now. Sprint is calling me to finish up the ticket I placed for the slow upload speed this afternoon, so I need to get DI18 on the phone a.s.a.p.

Questions: I don't care about losing anything else on the phone, but I have scored over 300,000,000 points on Robo Defense and I don't want to lose that progress. How can I save the progress (game save I guess) in that game. Other than that, I don't mind completely wiping the phone and starting over. Rooting is such a beating because it takes you out of the update loop. That's very annoying. But so is all the crap-ware that Sprint has on the phone. Is there any way to root/delete apps, and still get future OTA updates? I don't want to go through this mess every time an update releases. Which, since it is Spring and Samsung, doesn't seem like it will be very often ;)

Any help would be appreciated. I am triple noob to Android, but I am not computer illiterate, I actually work in I.T. I get frustrated when I go into a thread about an updated kernel or rom and the instructions (lack of usually) include terms that I simply don't get. Like 'push the apk back' and stuff like that. What!?! Sorry for my noobish ways!
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
First, install Titanium Backup, backup both the app and data from Robo Defense. This way, you wont lose it, will just have to make sure you root again and reinstall Titanium Backup to restore it.

To restore to stock, go to the thread listed below and follow the instructions. This will allow you to flash directly to stock DI18 (wont need to update to it afterwards). Just make sure that instead of using the DG27 version linked in that thread, that you download the DI18 one from the second link below, and use that instead. As a side note, I would play it safe and pull the sd card out before doing this, while it may be unecessary, it made me feel a little better when I went and did this to my phone.

[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
Koadic, thanks so much for spending a bit of time and walking me through it.

I flashed back to stock with full wipe and immediately was prompted to download and install an update. A few minutes later, another one. I am now up to date on the updates.

I can't stand the bloatware on the phone, but I also can't stand being out of the loop on updates.

The main issue I had in the beginning was that I didn't think my PC was seeing my Epic. After my wife got hers and I connected it to my PC, it installed drivers and then mine started working and I was able to run Odin and get to stock.

Thanks again man, very helpful!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadsterflip:
Well. My wife incredible is rooted. S-off. I use to run skyraider sense 3.2 no problem. I reformatted.

Did this about 5 times. Am I missing something? App .file. anything? Phone is back to oxed state does it need to be dedeoxed first??? can anyone help me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KGBxxx:
Download rom to root of sd card. In recovery wipe data. Then install rom from zip. Everything should install fine. Let the rom load all the way until phone is completely booted up. Make sure the rom zip isn't corrupt either. Try re downloading it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KGBxxx:
Also, did you reformat sd card or do a wipe in recovery?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel187:
in recovery format

/system

/data

/cache partitions

and then dalvik wipe. try that and it should work.

Hey,

I came across a website that says there are 2 versions going to be released.. Brown and Black. (this one)

But all the pictures i find are the same.

Here it has a brown aluminum back.. and a black front (and i know the phone on the right is the first desire :p):

I also came across this picture, but the contrast and the colors are weird and it looks a bit fake to me

So does someone have a picture were the 2 different versions are next to each other??
[Desire HD General] mupet0000:
There are two different colours

But it seems to me that the black one has just higher contrast and other picture enhancements so it will look black :confused:
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
dono, good one, i think that we talk about it on older thread here, when the DHD is announce. for my opinion in the fisrt stock all the phones will get the some color, and even so, i dont think that we will see the drsire hd in more color in the future
[Desire HD General] Overloaded:
Edited the picture myself real quick..

So now it looks kinda black too :D

So you know what i mean? :p

I prefer the black one btw ;)

But the brown one is nice too :D
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
yaa - some one use phtoshop for that - (htc pr) :)
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I've explained this lots of times.

There is no black one. The "Black" images are old, pre-launch, pallete-swapped and contrast-messed-around with images (which have had alternate homescreens overlaid).

You can tell on that imageshack picture because the colour around the camera lens is also darker, and the chrome looks darker too.

Look at the side of the phone at the + for volume. The silkscreen looks significantly darker on the "black" one , when in reality it would just be grey. This means that the image has been tampered with.

There is absolutely no evidence outside of these questionable images that there will be a black one. No-one has ever seen one.

That's not to say there won't be a black one in the future (we've just seen the white desire and black legend for example) but on release - no black.
[Desire HD General] apsis:
I guess if read somewhere that some Providers will have a black Version, but it isnt out yet, and for the release there will just be the "maduro brown" one - so there won't be any black version yet.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
thanks for clearing that up. i was unsure if i was going to receive a black or brown one from amazon.

I work for one of the big mobile retailers in the UK and we checked the system at the beginning of the week to see if the DHD stock has been set up.

There were 3 versions - black, brown and grey??

Checked again yesterday and the black was removed, still had brown and grey though...however, that wasn't the final product set-up in the system so who knows!
[Desire HD General] xmoo:
Brown is cause of the original Desire color.

Silver was the prototype color, So I think it would be available in brown and silver

[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Really the original desire's dark brown and graphite colours look NICE and if this is the same ill be happy :-D

HTC normaly realese one colour and then add more to boost sales as a carrier spacific colour or as a special edition i.e. the white orig. desire

So im 100% shure that at this point there is one colour and probably will get more down the line.... but IMO pure white (glass+back) would be awsome on this phone
[Desire HD General] Overloaded:
Some people on the forums here said they own / received a --> BLACK <-- Desire HD

Could these people please post some pictures, and especially from the backside of the phone ;)

This is strange. I just went to a carephonewarehouse store. And they have 3 colour in their system. Black brown and silver.

[Desire HD General] Aiakio:

Totally black. But, if you take a photo of it with a bright light on it, it looks kind of brown.

There is only one model. It just looks slightly different depending on how/where it was photographed. My phone is the same colour as the phone on the HTC website.
[Desire HD General] Aiakio:
Thank you! So, it's the standard "maduro brown"?!

[Desire HD General] Overloaded:
So.. I send an email to HTC about the colors.. And this is what they said in Dutch:

So, this means the Desire HD is available in 2 colors!! Black and brown!! :D

Just to clear things up ;)
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
RIGHT. I am hoping to put this one to bed once and for all!

I have taken 3 different pictures of my Desire HD. I only have one DHD. On the Phones4U system it is listed as "Black".

In my opinion it's more brown/grey than black.

It's definately NOT black.

These pictures should show that the colour of the phone appears different under different lighting conditions.

I have done nothing to these photos other than resize them for forum friendlyness. They are otherwise untouched. They have been taken on a SonyEricsson K850i (mainly because my proper camera battery is dead!) Be aware that the flash adds a bit of glare, and that under uniform and flat bright white lighting, the phone looks even more brown.
[Desire HD General] Overloaded:
I understand what you try to make clear..

HTC must he wrong then about their own phone :p

The pictures look pretty convincing ;)

Thank you!
[Desire HD General] ZedeN:
I emailed HTC asking specifically for the available color options and this is what i got:

Thank you for contacting HTC.

With regards to your E-mail the HTC Desire HD there are 2 different covers but they are the same colour, the only differnce is the metal bit's are black are black in one of the covers.

What a joke.
[Desire HD General] sonnysoul:
There are 2 colours

The Desire HD I got from Play.com was indeed BLACK. There was no hint of brown to it at all. Unfortunately it was faulty and I sent it back, and after some issues with Play.com, I asked for a refund instead of a replacement.

Whilst looking around for another place to buy it from, I came across a brown coloured one (I think they call it Gun Metal). It was exactly the same colour as the original Desire was released. I chose to give it a miss as it just doesn't appeal to me. I want black (or maybe white if it's around the corner), not brown.
