U can't back up without rooting.

Anyone using themes for Android revolution?
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
the update was "cancelled" until they fixed those bugs but they seem to still release it, the most annoying thing is how they r nt replying to any of my tweets or emails on the release date
[Desire HD General] Stylux:
then y not just go do a custom flash ? i sent in my phone recently with a flash rom ... they also service for me ... (if u fear ur warrenty void)

htc is popular amongst those who know what they are doing whereas iphone is popular amongst almost all kinds of people

so my guess is they wont slap the $300 penalty cos its not an iphone to begin with
[Desire HD General] hyocca:
Aaa's like giving me really inaccurate info.

After placing my preorder Joanne said it'll be

around this week that it arrives for sure.

But when i've called today they said november!

:(

:eek:
[Desire HD General] tigabert:
The girl 'Candy' told me probably this week while the guy from China or taiwan told me it's sometime in November..
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
imagine a small company like AAAs can't even get their act together and synchronise when the DHD will be launched by them, imagine how many different answers we're gona get if we ask the telcos..

what a bunch of clowns...:rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Yeah I know.... The HTC Diammond has been my most hated phone though and it's a pain going back to it. Nothing to entertain me on the MRT. If it was only going to be a couple of hundred $ then I would do it, but the girl in the Singtel shop at Funan said it would be like 50% of the value.

I've put my name down on the preorder list, she said it would be this week. AAA said next month but couldn't give a date and required a deposit. Fingers crossed we'll all get them this week! Please let me know if anyone finds a place that's selling them!

Cheers,

Charlie
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
the Diamond can flash all sorts of happening ROMs, have u tried it? might keep u busy on the Diamond for awhile while u wait for the DHD...

oh u mean ST shop accepts preorders? wow...
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
I went through loads of ROMS when it was my main phone, never found one that I was completely happy with so gave up and flashed it back to standard, now it seems to run worse than ever!

I'm not sure if it's a preorder as such, just that they will call me as soon as it arrives in stock.

Not posted from my crappy HTC diammond.
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Here is the nightmare :)

Desire HD got cloned by Chinese manufacturers :D Especially in the 2nd pic, the box really looks original :eek:

http://www.terbooz.com/11132-htc-desire-hd-gets-cloned-in-china-looks-decent-enough/
[Desire HD General] hyocca:
oh my god.

Will aaa bring this fake? LOL
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Perhaps the chinese people got frustrated and made a new device for us to root easily :D
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Any news from AAA yet? Think I might go to Funan at lunch just in case, got nothing better to do anyway as I'm on training today :)
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
good idea. keep us posted! :D
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Everywhere is saying sometime next month, with AAA saying middle of next month. Singtel told me this week or next though so I'll stick with them.

posted from my HTC diammond (and took nearly 10 mins)
[Desire HD General] hyocca:
aaa really pushed it.

she said this week man.

now middle of next month.

Gez.

:confused:
[Desire HD General] Roopney:
singtel this week? wow. im very looking forward to it!
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
She said this week or next but I'll be very suprised if the little Singtel store in Funan manages to get their hands on the devices before the other HTC authorised dealers... I'm not holding my breath, just going to accept I'm stuck my old phone for a few weeks. I'll let everyone know as soon as I hear anything though.

Cheers,

[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
I've only been living Singapore for 7 months but is it normal to have such vague release dates? You would think they could be a little more accurate than saying "From November" or are we meant to take that as meaning from the 1st of November? I'm confused :confused:
[Desire HD General] tigabert:
I believe no distributors or telcos know the actual date that it'll be arriving to SG.That's why all the vague release dates. The official HTC Desire HD and Desire Z event held in SG recently also mentioned 'from November onwards'. In the meantime, I just gotta tell myself not to get frustrated with using this pathetic tiny nokia phone and wait patiently for it to be released in SG.

But that doesn't stop me from checking this thread for good news every hour. LOL
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Well that's a relief, maybe between the two of us we're the reason the thread is on over 5000 views... I was panicking thinking a few thousand people would descend on Funan the day someone posts in here that it's availble :)
[Desire HD General] ninerzero:
Are you guys using default kernal or anything?
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
im unrooted
[Desire HD General] zepp3lin:
Go for default kernel together with the rom recommended without any problem.
[Desire HD General] zepp3lin:
Than you will miss all the better cooked rom on your DHD.. Did you know that mike's rom save about 20% of batt usage...

And HTC CEO Peter Chao announce the unlock bootloader of HTC phone models. In other words meaning if you root your phone than it will not be a problem sending in for warranty. Already one of the guys here send in for warranty with a custom rom loaded in his DHD
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
i think it only applies to htc sensation ++
[Desire HD General] zepp3lin:
Nah, it applies to all.....
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
i'm not sure if not locking a bootloader makes it any easier to root.. as it is the newer htc phones are getting harder and harder to root..

Hi All,

Do I need to use a Gold Card if it is under Starhub?

My build number is 2.50.707.4 do I need to downgrade?
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
I think you might need to downgrade if you want to flash radio. As for the gold card, I didn't use. Not sure if you need to use.

it can't seen to work :(
[Desire HD General] amusedkid:
Still no OTA right? Rooted for a quite a while already. Just wanna check.
[Desire HD General] zepp3lin:
Why do you wanna wait for OTA when you can try several great custom roms with sense3.0 or sense 3.5

Got tired of waiting lol. Decided to plunge into MIUI and I was like. " what didnt I flash this before!?" Made me fall in love with my phone all over again!

Lazy to download run, still waiting for OTA...
[Desire HD General] amusedkid:
Just wait it should come this week. Working better than arhd. I went ahead to flash the pd81img.zip.

Used to run asphalt fine on 2.3.3 but it force closes on arhd. Now back on 2.3.5 stock and it works again.

Kudos to HTC.
[Desire HD General] cherryva:
Can the update be done if connected to PC thru USB
[Desire HD General] trisbel:
ota update has reached sg. updated it just now. its awesome. glad htc made the update available to our phone.

Roopney,

Yes from now on you are the man dude, keep an eye on them every evening :)
[Desire HD General] hyocca:
Man, it's already upsetting that an Asian company do not actually release it here first. Makes no sense.. Htc sense. Lol. Back to my point. Yes buddy spy dude please give us constant updates. Aaa's driving me mad

With the inaccurate dates. Best thing I've heard from suntec.. from some starhub dealer that desire hd only comes mid dec. I was like urgh!!! Anyway. I saw a dude using Htc trophy prototype. Was like rofl.
[Desire HD General] hyocca:
Bad news. AAA really blew it.

I just visited to ask about the desire hd.

Woman called Joanne said it won't be coming until end of November.

Man. I am really disappointed.

Brothers that have left your deposits.

Please collect them back.

I collected my 50 back.
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Well that's piss poor. Gutted. I'm guessing the lady at the Singtel shop got it wrong as well then. Now I'm wondering if I can put up with this HTC Diammond after finally finding a half decent ROM or if I should just buy a Desire to see me through the month... or have my family buy me a SIM free one from the UK and send it over to me.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
that sux...a simple thing like that also cannot do, what a major FAIL! :rolleyes:

they're so not gona get my business in future man.... Banned!!
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
if yr family is willing to sign contract then i think buy and send over better. heard not a lot of places are willing to sell without contract though..
[Desire HD General] tigabert:
I got a call from Candy from AAAs saying that the DHD had a delay from HTC. She gave me the option to withdraw my preorder deposit. I think its not their fault.

Might be HTC are having problem with their first batch eg.. proximity sensor, SIm cover breaking easily and does not fit well etc. Also heard that there are delays with the HTC HD7 as well due to device frequently rebooting by itself.

I'm also thinking of getting a used HTC Desire to tide me over the month...
[Desire HD General] Roopney:
hmm... i will post if i saw a dummy set of DHD on display.

cos you guys should know what that means. :D
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Phones 4U and Carphone warehouse are selling them SIM free. I'm will to pay the extra $100 it will cost than buying them when they arrive in Singapore but I'm worried I'm have to pay import tax.

Does anyone know how it works in Singapore? If I have it sent over as a gift, clearly from a Family member will I still have to pay import tax?

Cheers,

Charlie
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
As long as the value is above SGD400 (incl shipping charges), you will need to pay GST.
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
:( So even if I was to get sent an present for my Birthday, with no form of receipt I would have to pay GST?

or for instance, if I have some of my possesions from my flat sent over after moving here I will have to pay GST on them to?

[Q] Desire HD CHINA ??

Hi guys i have a question. I live in turkey and a close friend i going to Shanghai on november 15. I wonder if desire hd is available im shanghai. If it does, is it unlocked and sim-free because if its not then it will be useless. And the last thing is what is the price ? I need your information i really want this phone i'm bored with my iphone 3g.
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
They will base it on the declaration. When someone sends you a gift, they will still be required to fill in the value in the shipping document.

This falls under personal effects.

OK, cheers.... doesn't matter. It's only $70 at the end of the day and I'll happily pay that not to have to deal with this HTC diamond for another month.

[Desire HD General] jlws90:
Received a call from Starhub regarding to the HTC Desire HD. Was being told its being delay and Starhub will only carry them in Dec, with no indication when in Dec.

Hopely HTC would release them asap!
[Desire HD General] marttin:
The price in Beijing shows 4500 RMB (~675 USD) - suppose should be similar in Shanghai. (price should go bit down Nov 15)

I spoke today to may retailer, and she told me there is stock of Desire Z (for 4300 RMB) manufactured for Spanish and German markets.

Regarding Desire HD, she told be that at this very moment they do not have stock.

Wast told devices are factory unlocked. Buying from Shanghai (or anywhere in China) should be careful about so called "14 day phone". These are returned phones, not new ones - and some may have defects, but many of the suppliers "pretend" they sell a brand new device.

If your friend is getting the phone for you - ask him to ask for a device which haven't been flashed with Chinese ROM, but the original/factory one.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
How come starhub so good to proactively call u about the DHD?

I'm gona wait for November 8th n see if the nexus 2 will be announced or not then maybe can forget about the DHD already
[Desire HD General] canboca:
Thanks for your reply. I do have 2 questions. My friend is a girl and she is not interested in technology so how can she understand whether my Desire HD is a "14 day phone" or not ?

I will tell her to ask whether the phone is flashed with Chinese ROM. And if things get unplanned and she gets mi chinese ROM, can i turn the phone into the factory one ? Thank you for your interest
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
suggest u dun take the risk esp if yr female frd duno about how to check. now there is no root, so no real flashing of roms..
[Desire HD General] marttin:
To identify "14 days phone" is more an art. First should look at the packaging (plastic bags and covers) of the components (charger, battery, phone, cables,) - if the packaging is not exactly the same as original one - very high chances to be a "14 day" or "renewed" phone.

Secondly look at the device and other components for scratches or any damages. Then should look into production numbers and so on, do they corresponds to the manuals and documentation.

Mostly that's all.

Usually the "14 days", if are sold as such but not as new ones, could go 30% to 50% cheaper than the price of new ones. Careful inspection by relatively knowledgeable person of the device and it's functioning make sense taking a plunge with a "14 days", as in fact majority of the phones do not have any problems, but have been returned by guys who simply didint liked the device.

Correct. In the case with D'HD and D'Z the phone will be loaded with Chinese characters fonts, Chinese input software, and will be tuned as well. He don't needs all that on his device.

PS. In case your friend travels to Beijing can give her a contact (actually my retailer), and she can get for sure a new phone. Can't do anything about Shanghai :(
[Desire HD General] Roopney:
late of nov??

sheesh..:(
[Desire HD General] canboca:
Does every DHD in china have chinese rom in it ? Can't somebody who's not chinese use the DHD's sold in china ? i really want to have this phone ASAP !
[Desire HD General] marttin:
D'HD and D'Z are not sold officially in China. In fact the import of these devices is kinda grey one, and the devices originally are manufactured for other markets (UK, Germany, Spain, etc.), and respectively flashed with original ROMs. This is the way the come here.

When the "Wholesalers" (the guys smuggling the sets into China) and retailers are offering them to clients, they are "customizing" them (flashing Chinese ROMs or tuning them with language support)

Usually if you ask them for a device which haven't been customized they will offer you a such.
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Well my dad has tried to get me a Desire HD in the UK to send over, looks like everywhere there is on back order for about 5 weeks.

I'm going to get a normal Desire to tide me over until the HD is available in SG. Does anyone know the cheapest place to get a genuine HTC desire that I won't have trouble trading in when I'm ready to upgrade? I found a shop in SIM Lim that had them for $599 but I've heard bad stories about buying from any shop there.

Cheers,

Charlie
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
why dun u look for a 2nd hand one? it'll be cheaper... but trade in price is only $300, u'll lose out big time later.. better sell off instead...
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
I bought a Desire from AAA yesterday, the only 2nd hand one I could find was $650 anyway so I thought I might as well get a brand new one that came with a free Bluetooth headset.

I'm hugely impressed with the phone, it came with 2.2 already installed and looks like it has an identical interface to the HD (from the videos I've seen). It's much better than my x10 was, so good infact that I'm probably not even going to bother with the HD when It's available :)
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
I searched Hwz n phing and could find some selling $550 thereabouts but nothing beats a brand new set.

Good to hear that u like yr desire, I'm also inclined to get a desire but I wana hear what samsung has to announce on Nov 8. If it's a new google experience phone, n it's launching soon then I might get it instead.

BTW yours shd be a slcd model with hboot 0.93? Are u gona root it?
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
No plans to root it. Right now it does everything I need it to and the standard Rom is amazing. If it ain't broke then don't fix it :)

I may change my mind if I start to get bored of it though...
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
A quote from another platform. I hope it will become true :p
[Desire HD General] jo3yp:
Challenger was the only store that gave me specific dates, they said between the 12th - 15th.. I put my name down and they said they'll call me when they arrive. I'm probably not going to bother getting one now but I'll let you know when they or the SingTel shop call me.

Cheers,

Charlie
[Desire HD General] jlws90:
Yes, Thanks alot! It would definitely benefit most of us here. Singtel has yet to inform me anything regarding the phone.
[Desire HD General] hyocca:
The start of november.

HTC!

Please release that phone soon! :)
[Desire HD General] canboca:
If my friend turns the phone on and checks the main menu and such whether its chinese or not, is it enough information to decide that the DHD is flashed with chinese rom or factory rom. Thanks
[Desire HD General] marttin:
D'HD cannot be flashed with custom ROM at the moment. This shouldn't be a concern.

The worst scenario is to have been added Chinese fonts and input method - something which should be easy to remove.

When the phone is switched on you will see Chinese characters here and there, in case the phone was modified.
[Desire HD General] marttin:
BTW, just noticed yesterday the price of the retailers in Beijing was 4500 RMB (~675 USD), but today is around 5600 RMB (~840USD)
[Desire HD General] azlan96:

Just called AAAs Funan for update.

They said that Desire Z should be available this weekend but the Desire HD will arrive at the end of November. sigh..

I guess this is cause of the several errors with the phones that uk has reported.

So maybe they're just doing a rough checks with the phones, making sure it's error free for SEA.
