Guys, i have here a galaxy s and have just run nenamark1 and got 50fps. 33fps is a bit underpowered if we really compare both devices. Never the less i am also waiting for the hd to arrive but the galaxy s has a more powerfull gpu, or it seams so.
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
Good grief! God knows where else you posted those links, but in the few hours that I've been mirroring, my server is reporting 187 Gb of traffic from those files. :-)
[Desire HD General] da_ch0sen_1:
How is the DHD screen in direct sunlight? My HD2 is almost useless in the sun, have to guess for touch input :(
[Desire HD General] vovanopulo:
Russian owner of the engineering version said he was able to play NFS in the sun - he just needed to set brightness to maximum
[Desire HD General] GemeenAapje:
to craig and the other guys mirroring.... do you need an extra mirror? I have a business glass fibre line in the Netherlands with unlimited usage (100mbps bandwidth). I don't want to be the only one hosting but I'm glad to be a 3rd person if that helps. I think my ISP might call if they get a sudden increase to 200GB in a few hours as they'd think I was receiving some kind of DDOS attack on my websites.

A huuuuge thank-you to the guys who have received their phones (you jammy ****s!!!). Mine's on order and I'm standing at the front-room window day and night waiting for it. I hope it's here tomorrow cos I know it wont come on Sunday. Where did you guys buy from??

Cheers

Matt
[Desire HD General] jords12:
I still have plenty of data on my server and the traffic has really died off now - I think it's all going to craigs mirror.
[Desire HD General] GemeenAapje:
No worries mate.

By the way, what the hell is that device in the video? Looks evil, but cool at the same time. I think I want one!! lol
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
Hi Matt,

Going by Jord's experience of low traffic I'm not sure how best to handle it. I experienced 440GB of traffic in 12 hours, which I fear I'm not going to be able to sustain for long with the resources I have available to me right now. I guess the links must have spread through forums like wildfire.

Things have calmed down now, but that might just be time related. 75-80% of the traffic is coming from Europe where the day is just beginning.

As for the device in the video, it looks like a small steam engine(?) I think I want one too! :-)
[Desire HD General] jords12:
Wow. I'm seeing a little more now, as the rest of the world wakes up, but still only 18GB in total. I wonder where your links got posted that you went through so much traffic - look at the logs for the referers?
[Desire HD General] DocRambone:
Can you compare the screen against a newer phone?, SGS, iphone 4 or nexus/desire?
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
will certainly be interesting to see how much traffic you guys are getting today. I know that the shadowservices link is on the overclockers forums. Thats mostly UK based people so its around about time they started waking up (09:20 here)
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
I'll have to look deeper into the logs, but for now I know that the top bandwidth hogs are The Netherlands and Germany. The UK is a bit behind in third place, with the US in fourth. Strangely enough I can't see any traffic from France at all!

On a different note, I still think that little engine is great in the 720p video! It actually looks like its using hot air to power the pistins rather than steam. Clock, you've got to let me know where you got that thing from!
[Desire HD General] override182:
hye, can anyone tell how much free ram on fresh boot is available? Using advanced task killer would be able to test such. This phone does have 7xxMB of RAM bout how much free ram is for users? the HTC Desire has around 200-250MB free ram and the Samsung Galaxy S has around 120-160MB of free RAM.. how much is it for DHD
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
asia.cnet.com/reviews/mobilephones/0,39051200,45305089p,00.htm have a "review" up as of yesterday. They say its SLCD but to be honest I don't really see anything in the review that i've not read in hands on previews a month ago.

they claim the battery lasted less than 15 hours but don't mention if it had been cycled or anything. I wish these reviews would just show the stats from androids battery monitor to tell you that x% was used for the screen and x% was for this etc.

I know from my Hero that since it was last left unplugged 15% of its battery use was for the screen, 13% on the phone idle, 5% on calls and 64% on cell standby. if they included that and said that it only lasted 15 hours at least we could judge why.

EDIT: why didn't I do that? what a fool I am.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Working full link - Latest review says it S-LCD, think we can put that to rest now.

http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/mobilephones/0,39051200,45305089p,00.htm
[Desire HD General] mikejasonsmith:
These guys dont seem too overwhelmed by the phone - battery life being a major factor...

Wondering if ive done the right thing pre-ordering one of these babies now?:confused:
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
don't worry you've made the right choice :D

what else is out there right now that can challenge this phone? (apart from SGS)
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Don't be to quick to judge, the battery hasn't been conditioned thats a fact, its not been out long enough and they never said if was used none stop or what conditions it was under, in fact its not an accurate assumption at all so I wouldn't read to much into it.

The lower pixel density in the screen is no biggy really, its the price to pay for a 4.3 screen with the same resolution, personally Id rather have the bigger screen, yes I would of liked HTC to up the res to compensate the bigger screen but it still looks fab in its own rights..

I doubt you've made the wrong choice at all, you always see reviews like this..I wouldn't be worried yet, its to early for anyone to say whether the battery is good or bad.
[Desire HD General] the.redeemer:
Bad News for almost everyone:

Many, many sources all over the Net are spreading the news, that yesterdays start of delivery was only for a small ammount of people, which are customers at vodafone.co.uk and vodafone.nl.

After all it seems, that the stock was very small and HTC had to decide which customers to serve first. Because of exclusive agteements with vodafone, pre-order-customers of vodafone will be served first.

Almost sll online Retailers (incl. main distributor expansys.com) deleted delivery-date 18.10.2010 or threw it back to the mid of november!

HTC speaks officially on facebook, tthat they had have to shift the date to at least 25th of october to serve the rest of UK.

And UK will be the first country.

Sad, sad news after the great last day!
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
If the Battrery really is bad I'm sure we will get a better battery soon!
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
Not much sun here, so I cant really test right now.

GPS fix almost direct!

Played some Gameloft's NOVA and it's really smooth!

I'll try some more games.

I will see if I can make a vid!
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
That tallies with mobilephonesdirect saying it'll be 11 days from today on their site. meaning people should get them on the 27th.

the original date of the 6th would have been nice but we'll survive I'm sure
[Desire HD General] mikejasonsmith:
Blimey - if this is true and we are looking at mid novemberim defo cancelling. 1 or 2 more months and we may have the Glacier by then....
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
please do!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
like i said in another thread, the Glacier was rumored to be released in T-Mobile US. So 3G wont work here in Europe.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
The only negative thing I notice is the two plastic covers at the side (battery) and the bottom (micro SD and SIM) The first one is very hard to open and close.

The second one is easier, but now there is a almost 1 mm wide gap between the metal and the plastic. This looks very bad, you can see some metalic parts through it!

Maybe I'm going back to the store to see if the other HD's have the same problem
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
and how long will the battery last on a dual core smartphone?

Update on file mirroring

Update :

Due to the immense amount of traffic being generated on my mirror by other sites (over half a terrabyte now in well under 24hrs), I've been forced to make a few changes to ensure that my mirror doesn't go down.

Existing links on the XDA Developers forum, as well as any additional links posted on this forum should continue to function normally. However, anyone direct linking to my host via another website/forum will be automatically directed to a zip file that I've uploaded to hotfile.com. This file contains all the current files provided by Clock.

I'm sorry if this is inconvenient for other websites, but If I don't take some form of action now, the mirror would be down within a matter of hours and everyone here would loose out as a result.

If there are any other users that have received their phone and would like to share their original pics/videos/audio files etc with the forum, I'd be happy to assist with making them available to forum if you have no means of doing this yourself. Just PM me. :-)

Craig.

Did you try pre-caching of maps? What countries' maps can you download? Does the list have Turkey's map?
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Waiting for the Glacier is something that nobody knows much about, we dont even no if it will be released in the uk or whether it will be this year, I say enjoy whats out now, that kind of thinking in terms of how quick technology moves we would just end up in a loop and so it would go on until the next phone and the next.....

Im very pleased with the Desire HD and yes maybe it will be a longer wait, I would rather wait than have a sub standard phone. We should all be happy and Im confident that this phone will run more smooth with less problems than the galaxy s, having had one in the past Im pretty sure Ive made the right choice in going with this phone instead..

I guess its a matter of opinion and what suits the individual, we all have our own needs on what we want so it all comes down to choice..

My choice is the Desire HD ...:D
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
They would have to up the mah surely, that along with hardware/software factors
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Back on topic I would really like to see some 720p videos done in daylight.
[Desire HD General] BartOtten:
I saw that on some photo's too. Really wondering of they are not properly placed by the user or if it is an build-error. Clock, anything on this one?
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I would be shocked if it was a build error from HTC, Samsung yeah...surely not HTC...good question though and Id also like to know the viiews with the guys that have their phones..??
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
I placed the lid back correctly. There is no other way to fit it. It hust doesn't fit right.

Foto is not so good, but you can see the gap.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
I'm going go shopping with my girl. And going by Vodafone again. I'll make some pictures then!
[Desire HD General] eboni:
I dont want to call you out or anything but HTC have not given us a date of availability on any of their facebook pages, but if you know different please add the source.

The rest of this post I agree with... hopefully.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
One more thing: the temp root tool for the Vision from Modaco doesn't seem to work for the HD.

If I have time I'll try the manual method.
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
One thing I can see on their facebook page, however, is confirmation from HTC that the screen doe NOT have an SLCD display

"Hi Keech - it is LCD as opposed to SLCD."

a little bit off topic but here is a link to the engine in clock1932's video

[Desire HD General] slateac:
HTC did not post to reschedule the Desire HD launch to the 25th on Facebook.

That was to reschdule the HTC WP7 meetup in London
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
I just asked why some people were told the opposite after contacting support.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Expansys BG still says 18 Oct. I don't know how trustworthy that is since yesterday

after

the launch with Vodafone NL they still insisted that there is a problem with Google's "certification" and they don't know the exact day it will be available.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
so about that promised 720p vid clock... :D
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
http://www.finalcity.com/dhd/vid2.3gp

you can just change it to mp4 after you download it
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
clock said he would have another in the daylight.
[Desire HD General] Clock1932:
I can confirm the small crack/gap. It's really small, but the parts underneath it are shiny, so it twinkles a bit in light. Not very nice.

The engine thing is a stirling engine (running on heat). It is indeed from Bohm (german) and for too expensive but so much fun.

Well over 60GB bandwidth here. De vid of 60MB is killing it. We'll lee how long it last. I'll go shopping/working/etc and make some good vids/pics today. You can expect them in the evening (now 14:00 here) if there's a server left ;)

Tonight I'll also answer some questions again!
[Desire HD General] Clock1932:
The 720 vid get's the default .3gp extension from the phone. No need for renaming.
[Desire HD General] Nameless_87:
Hi,

Is the cover of the sim loose because of the gap?

I mean the lower back cover of the phone

Thanks
[Desire HD General] GemeenAapje:
Craig, Please provide me a link to the zip file (not at hotfile). I will mirror it at RapidShare and MegaUpload for you.

Can we not compress the images to JPEG with 95% quality or something? At least the photos NOT made by the camera - we don't need to see the micro-details on them.

Hmmmm just seen the HTC Glacier. I am now also considering cancelling my Desire HD, especially as the Glacier is due before the end of the year. If it's true that HTC are making other customers wait 2 weeks longer than Vodafone then I'm definitely cancelling... but until that rumour is proved I will leave my order as it is.

Question: Will the DHD connect to 5ghz WIFI networks??? I created a new topic here yesterday about this also. The iPhone4 doesn't, and i just want another thing to show my friends how **** their iPhones are lol.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
No, it just looks cheap and not well build.
[Desire HD General] eboni:
Yes... that is me :p
[Desire HD General] GemeenAapje:
Question: How does the DLNA server perform??
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
When Clock uploaded the files to my server, he also included a directory that contained smaller versions of the images NOT taken by the camera (nice bit of foresight there, Clock!). He also gave them exactly the same name (very handy). I have therefore swapped the images round for now. I can quite easilly swap them back if people would prefer (?). All sample images taken by the phone are the originals and untouched.

Image compression for the pictures not taken by the phone is certainly a possibility, but I'd rather not tamper directly with Clocks' pictures without talking to him first.

In addition to the above, I have just upgraded my hosting. It cost a few bob, but I no longer expect any downtime because of bandwidth availability. It may, however, still slow down a bit when lots of people download simultaneously.

Finally, I'm already in the process of uploading the zip file (containing all images/videos in one file) to Rapidshare. I'll let you know when its done.

Cheers,

Craig.

Update:

Single file download containing all photos and videos by clock are also available on Rapidshare and Hotfile:

Hotfile: http://hotfile.com/dl/76339231/a32c88a/dhd.rar.html

[Desire HD General] the.redeemer:
Ok then. I'll have to apologize for this. Facebook for WinMo doesn't make a good job. The posting read, as if it would belong to DHD.

Nevertheless, for us here in Germany it seems to be in delay again. But then, i've no quotable source for you. So again, apologize me for this unconfrmed news and for posting a false source.

Yes, that was HTCs official answer during this week.

But expansys.com/.de along with HTC (in answers to customers feedback, posted somewhere in 16 pages of general product discussion on amazon.de-productpage) itself published the 18th of october as the most possible general release date.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Oh so now it might be LCD ??? Why cant anybody 100% confirm this mix up, day after day the same ****, yes its s-lcd no is lcd ....is it that hard to do??

We have emails from htc saying its s-lcd, then htc on facebook says its lcd....does anybody know this question??? What a complete and utter mess..

Idiots the lot of them.
[Desire HD General] jords12:
What we do know, is that it's either a much improved LCD or a SLCD. My money is on SLCD. It is true that in 'private' correspondence HTC seems to always say SLCD, in public LCD. Which gives a little credence to the branding theory.
[Desire HD General] v-b-n:
Permanent Mirror : http://dev.vbnfiles.com/Desire HD/BartOtten/

I have downloaded files from first post in there...if there are more in between the pages, please let me know
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Isn't the much improved LCD called S-LCD....I can see this going on week after week, its just absolutely ridiculous, I mean even CNET asia TODAY in their new review said it was S-LCD, you no the people that are actually looking at the f**king phone....the couple of guys here dont know???? uuhh...I need a break before I lose it completely...

And yet still no answer ???....and to the people say it doesn't matter....YES IT DOES..
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
But how would the two guys here who have one know? its not written on any literature. I doubt it says "i r teh SLCD" on the back of the screen. Even looking at the phone in the images can't tell you.

Are you now saying that if the screen isn't SLCD then it isn't fine for you any more?
[Desire HD General] turkification:
Hey guys,

So I got my HTC Desire HD today. And I must say the screen looks really sharp and clean. The colors are great. I really think it's a S-LCD screen. But, if it's not, I don't care the screen is good enough!
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I never said that, I would just like to know once and for all, why are you taking the trouble to find things Ive said in the past to make me look stupid...

I like the screen, it does look pretty good but I would like to know when Im spending close on £500...dont I have the right to know what screen it is????

Me as the paying customer has the right to know what screen is on the phone, is it so hard to give us a straight answer, even samsung with their heads up their arse holes can tell us what screen they have put on thier own phone..
[Desire HD General] :
Dude,

How did you get your phone, and where did you get it?

Are you in the UK?

JD
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Im not going to mention it again because Im making to much of it...I dont mean to come across like that...at least seeing the above quote it makes things a bit better to say...whatever..Ill let it go now..
[Desire HD General] turkification:
I'm in the Netherlands. It seems that Vodafone here got the first batch. Because other stores don't have them yet. So yes, I'm very happy :D.

I know that most of the people here will be very satisfied with the screen, S-LCD or not.
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
Vodafone was so kind to replace my HD! The vodafone guy also had a HD and it didn't have the gap between the sim/sd cover and the metal part.
[Desire HD General] :
Cool thanks for the info;)
[Desire HD General] jords12:
That's good news, so just an issue with some first ones then? Only problem for me is I'm getting mine shipped from UK to NZ, if theres something not right it's going to cost quite a bit in postage both ways...

Bottom line about the screen: From photos, comments it seems that the screen is very good. Whether it is an actual SLCD (ie, manufactured by S-LCD corporation) or an improved LCD from another manufacturer isn't certain, but I'm not sure it matters all that much.
[Desire HD General] GemeenAapje:
PLEEEEEEEEASE can someone test if Wireless N works in the 5ghz range? NOT the 2.4ghz band.
[Desire HD General] :
Can you buy sim free and unlocked in holland?

JD
[Desire HD General] GemeenAapje:
Yes you can. Mine will be unlocked when I receive it.
[Desire HD General] strobe_uk:
For those concerned regarding SLCD or not, just had this from HTC ...

[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
I wasn't trying to have a go, you just confused me lol.
[Desire HD General] krucki:
That`s good news. Perhaps can you upload one new picture from the new phone`s backside?

Thanks!!
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
The HTC Desire will have a slcd screen. No mention of HD there!
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
Not only do you have enough phones to give out to customers you have spares! gawd darnit!
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
i said it before that Handtec has confirmed that it's SLCD but no one listened :p
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
omg you are right :S :confused:
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
HTC are going to make an announcement through the website to say its S-LCD..

Now can you understand why I get so god dam mad about this !!
[Desire HD General] name_th:
Fascinating, he writes "The HTC Desire", not "The HTC Desire HD" :D

I hope it's just a typo ;) Because we know that "The HTC Desire" has a SLCD lately because of lack of AMOLEDs ;)

Edit: Too late ;)
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
Read the reply again. They don't even refer the HD! Accidentally on purpose?
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
ahhh well spotted...this is old news...just add fuel to the fire why dont you haha
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
Sorry Rixsta, I think they're trying to mess with your mind :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Yeah as if I haven't already gone back to the school playground about this...haha...aaahhh you have to laugh though.
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
someone on the HTC facebook site just commented on the SLCD thing 22 minutes ago.

http://www.facebook.com/htcuk/posts/161836427179180?il=0&notif_t=feed_comment_reply
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Just a small update I thought Id share, I showed my wife...ok she saw what I had written about the screen and my tantrum as she called it and slapped me up the side of the head....Im not having a very good day...still no confirmation on the screen ???? hahha...Im a sucker for punishment ..

Back on topic before the mods attack me too...

Can someone tell me the audio through the headphones....I know the ones that come with it are crap....how about through some decent pair..??
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Thanks...yeah a double check is good news...this will be proof I guess when he gets back to you...thanks for this !!
[Desire HD General] strobe_uk:
Oops my bad - I didn't read the HTC email reply properly before posting...

Nevertheless, I did ask if the HT Desire HD had an S-LCD screen (not the Desire which I know does have one!). Thanks HTC.
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
i actually lol'd. Its amazing how wives have have a very "bring you back to earth" attitude sometimes huh? Mine does the same.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Yeah Im back on planet earth now...still awaiting the reply from htc facebook though... sssshhh its ok shes gone in the shower so I can still ask hahaha....quick before she comes back down and Im still asking about this poxy screen LOL
