but are we missing much without the premium navigation? i thought i read that it's added stuff like traffic info and duno what else and it doesn't really work anyway so it's pointless.. so just wondering if u've tried it and whether that's true..
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Hi can I ask if almost everyone's dhd's camera is off centre, or is it only me? Meaning the inner lens seems to be placed more to the left instead of being dead centre.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
yes that's quite normal. mine also..
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
we can use google maps.. doesnt really matter much..
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
Mine too. Does not bother me since my picture alignment does not seem to be affected.
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
I find the navigation pretty useful especially if you don't have anyone with you to read out the googlemaps directions as you are driving. Also, it does not require any data connection, hence no potential downtime.

One downside, the maps are not as detailed as google's.
[Desire HD General] chrisoyh:
I have actually used the Premium Navigation while driving, and I find it way much better than Google Maps Navigation.

Not only do you not need a data connection to use it, the voice directions are clearer and more accurate. I could just rely on the voice directions and not look at the map.

Just my $0.02.
[Desire HD General] chrisoyh:
Some prices are quoted in Euro, others in $ which means US$

You need a Google Checkout account in order to buy from Market. There were rumours that Paypal payment is due to debut but so far nothing concrete has materialized.

Hey guys, have you encountered a wipe out of sms in the phone? It just happened to me. I don't know what I do, I only remembered installing and uninstalling launcherpro, that's all. Any ideas about this guys?
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Hmm.. launcher pro would not have interfered with your sms.. what other programs did you use or uninstall? By default we are using sense's sms app..

I broke the internet with my trusty DHD. LOL. xda-app
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Erm.. just lanucherpro. Other than this, is rockplayer. That's all eh. Puzzled!
[Desire HD General] ilgtca2002:
thanks for the info on navigation.. premium is only available for 30days if i rem... guess i have not much choice..

also, I am moving from iphone to android so i am still trying to get used to the interface. i have been searching for a IP cam viewer and have tried both IP cam viewer lite and Webcamviewer but has not been successful to get them to work with my DVR/IP cam.. previously when using iphone, I was using Meye which i had no problem viewing 4 of my home's cams..

is anyone using any ip cam viewer which has worked with their ip cams? thks...

pardon me... i am super noob on android.. took me a week to root the phone!!!
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Hey guys, in privacy under settings, there is this automatic backup and restore. What is this actually? I didn't see it in the normal htc desire. Do we have to check this setting?
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
Eh using the voucher in the box, the premium navigation service for 1 location is lifetime.
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
There is a thread on missing sms. Something related to the HTC Sync IIRC.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=840582&highlight=sms
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
Should be for HTCsense.com sync.
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
I see. So I can disable right cos I'm not using the htc sense account thingy in any way?
[Desire HD General] paroxysm:
Oops it is stored on Google Server. I guess if you do your own backup, you can always disable the feature.
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
This will backup your apps as well, as long as you downloaded from the market.. :)
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Checking on this option will it drain lots of battery?
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
most probably...
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
I see. What about the rest? Will it drain battery by turning it on?
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
If you are not going to flash your phone every now and then, there is no point to enable it, you can just sync manually if you want to backup your apps..
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
How do I sync manually?
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Enable the option, head towards Accounts and Sync, disable Auto-Sync.

If you want to manually sync, you can just press the Sync all button.
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
anyone having problems with the photo that you take using the cam? i uploaded mine to facebook and they seem very failed-photoshopped :l tried using high res and normal res both same.
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Actually blame that part on Facebook.. they tend to compress uploaded images because of website bandwidth..

I broke the internet with my trusty DHD. LOL. xda-app
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
okay i guess i shall try again tmr or will it be the same..?
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Doesn't matter, it will always be the same.. its Facebook compression algorithm..

I broke the internet with my trusty DHD. LOL. xda-app
[Desire HD General] donow1204:
Anybody got the HTC Phone Finder work. No luck here. The only thing work is Ring.
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
last time with my samsung jet didnt have any problems whatsoever :l

thanks anyway
[Desire HD General] chrisoyh:
Mine works, although it could take a while for the location to be updated.

Btw, has anyone in Singapore manage to backup your SMS/contacts to htcsense.com? Or is that feature not available yet for Singapore users?
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
I would backup to Google instead.. In case you dont want to use HTC phones anymore, you can actually use another brand of android phones to recover your sms and contacts (eg. Samsung Nexus S)..
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Any of you tried the Buzz OC 1.0.6 and tested the battery life?

I am currently testing out the kernel.. Hoping for good results..
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Is the ota update available to us?
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
no, so far the OTA update is for european countries only sadly. i just checked for updates a few minutes ago to be sure.

and i doubt nexus s is coming to singapore, twitted to starhubcare and they replied "No firm plans to bringing in the nexus s to singapore"..
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Lol.. if you are brave enough and rich enough you can get an export set.. but no point either..

Read reviews about the nexus s.. not exactly a good enough phone to give up desire hd..

If you do want an upgrade.. LG optimus 2x.. dual core.. that is sick..

http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...pe-in-january-pe/&category=classic&postPage=1

I broke the internet with my trusty DHD. LOL. xda-app
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
yea optimus 2x's pretty wicked.

i'm still stuck trying to sign in(to access marketplace) with my google account. always gives me error after like 1 min of trying to sign in. has been a few days already :l i know the marketplace is having problems but i shouldn't have trouble signing into my google account since other apps also use google account? anyone having this problem also?
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Go to settings, manage applications, clear data and cache for your market..

I broke the internet with my trusty DHD. LOL. xda-app
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
same thing. still "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"

but i know my data plan's working cause i can use internet.
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Try using WiFi, see if u can get in..

I broke the internet with my trusty DHD. LOL. xda-app
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
alright will try some other time when i have access to wifi. tried connecting to wireless@sg twice, both at macs, both went past obtaining ip adress but got disconnected after that.
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Lol dude.. u need to login your account in wireless@sg to use their WiFi..

I broke the internet with my trusty DHD. LOL. xda-app
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
yea i have wireless@sg account.. been using it for at least a few months alr..

edit: i also cant access anything that needs google account cause need to sign in and i can't :(
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Hey guys, have you registered an account to HTC Sense website? Is there any updates to the current sense itself?
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
Probably restricted.. not for market..

3G Settings

hey guys i got a phone from another country and was wondering if you can provide me the 3G settings for StarHub, i got the GPRS and MMS already but i heard theres another one for Internet...
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
hope this helps.. they use this after installing custom ROMs
[Desire HD General] twosix:
Just Google for "starhub apn".
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
sorry shotgunzo :o my bad!

i actually disabled syncing of everything which included google account haha. solved it now. thanks for your help :)
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
No prob bro, no prob! Glad you solved your problem..

Merry Xmas!
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
Merry Christmas to Everyone =D
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Her guys, anyone here has the same prob with me? My desire HD. Camera inner lens seems off centre, and I just noticed when my screen is on, at the micro use port, I can see light from the screen, and also, the port seems slanted -.-

Is this the issue for every dhd out there? Or is mine the batch with problem~
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
This isn't much of a problem, since the off-centered camera will not affect your photos in anyway.. and it has been reported in a few threads down here in XDA..

These faults are due to the unibody casing, not all DHD mobos are made to fit snug and tight in the casing, there will be a few compromises..
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
if you're wondering.. mine has the same problem too but it won't affect performance so not to worry =D
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Ohh so the micro usb port issue is like common? So claiming warranty for it is sort of wasting time? Hmm, warranty covers for 1 year right?
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
imo its just a small thing la.. and warranty 1year, batt 6months.
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
They probably won't entertain you, since this is not a fault..
[Desire HD General] i1magic:
Yah ... same here.

I search online .... it doesn't work yet.
[Desire HD General] i1magic:
Not sure what is the problem that you mentioned.

This is one of the picture I took with DHD.
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
i mounted my dhd as disk drive then uploaded the photos to an album like what would you do to a normal cam. mine end up somehow very fail photoshop-ed looking. i uploaded directly the same using the phone's internet to fb and everything looked fine.
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Wow.. what settings you set?
[Desire HD General] ilgtca2002:
resolved...... but still....
[Desire HD General] i1magic:
This is taken with standard settings with Flash disabled.

I find that pictures taken with "Flash disabled" is better. Just that you have to try to get good lightings and take the picture with steady hands.
[Desire HD General] i1magic:
Another picture took with standard settings ....
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Hey fellow DHD users :D happy new year!

Just want to know if any of you have rooted your phone and attempted SetCPU.

I'm kind of lost on how to do it, and i was wondering, if i choose the permanentroot option on visionary+, is that enough to run setCPU? And the "Unroot now" option does work doesnt it?

Sorry -_- worried little dude here. Phone is expensive. Income not high lol
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
hey guys i just switched from iphone 4 to desire hd

and i'm finding that internet on my desire is unbearably slow!

it seems like the phone will only attempt to send/receive once every 30s and meantime it just sits there doing nothing

sometimes it takes up to 8 or 9 minutes to load a single webpage

this has never happened on my iphone so i doubt its the operator

i've tried flashing newer radios and they seem to work better for about a day then after that it reverts to its usual state of 8 mins per webpage

any idea whats wrong?
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
hey i found it!

on the operator apn settings remove the proxy server, the phone now works faster than wifi! its unbelievable!
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
Which line are you using?
[Desire HD General] WingZer0n:
I find Starlag is horrible...coz my frens DHD on M1 is faster surfing
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
starhub

seriously, after removing the proxy from the apn, my desire for some reason becomes faster than my iphone4 by quite a bit

its only 1 day old though so i'm going to have to continue testing...

if you are on starhub too do try to remove the proxy, it worked for me and might work for you too
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
^ is this legit..?
[Desire HD General] cosmoboi:
Me using m1 n surf n browse xda forum fast fast leh....
[Desire HD General] zereox:
Yeah.

Or u can dl opera mini, it seems to not use the proxy by default
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
i checked my starhub apns, don't have proxy enabled wat.. so i duno what jerk is talking abuot..
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
go to your apn settings and see proxy ip

remove that ip address
[Desire HD General] southadam:
There is no proxy if you're using starhub internet. If you're using starhub gprs, removing proxy would be same as starhub internet settings.

I believe most of us do aware that must use starhub internet. :)
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
my desire hd was configured for starhub gprs with the proxy and it lagged like hell, 8 minutes to open a webpage

after removing the proxy it works fine... so i came here to post and alert everybody who might be experiencing the same issue as myself. yours might be working fine but for others it might be a very painful process

i've changed from milestone to x10 because of this issue, from x10 to desire hd and i have been thinking to myself that android has some internet network problem because all 3 phones encounter the same problem.

if i had known about this stupid proxy i might still be on my milestone
[Desire HD General] WingZer0n:
There are a few APNs for Starlag on my DHD, GEE!(GPRS) which has the proxy. Starhub Internet and Gee!MMS has no proxy. Normally peeps will select Starhub Internet.

Anyway I had the Milestone XT and IMHO that phone has better surfing speed than my DHD....initially when I got DHD it was slow...after playing around with the GPS settings, Google Maps & Locations the surfing speed has increased. Must be the AGPS thingy....btw anyone know where in the menus can I update the AGPS???? Or there is none?
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
I did. Under Proxy, it says "Not Set" so it's empty. And yes I'm using StarHub Internet so that explains why.
[Desire HD General] ineomod:
Anyone knows where to get DHD cases?
[Desire HD General] WingZer0n:
Someone mention Raffles Place...not sure exactly where....I got my casemate from the Aunty pushcart @Funan
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
For starhub users, do you all face slow connections?
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
maybe you are facing the same issue as i did, try clearing your proxy

my sh connection on dhd is faster than what i had on iphone4
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
Proxy is cleared.
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
umm.. quick question coming from unrooted stock ROM guy.. lets say i wanna use revolution hd but it says its based on 1.72.405.3.. do i need to have the 1.72 update to flash it or no need? plus..

i assume all my apps will be saved as its in the sd card and can be used in the custom ROM?
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
no need to have 1.72 cos the rom that u're flashing to is already 1.72.

depends on whether u orig install all the apps to the sd card or not.. but even if u did, i'm not sure if u can 'carry' over the apps to the new rom or not..I highly doubt it. normally what i do is to do a titanium backup then u can restore the apps on the new rom
[Desire HD General] wonga:
proxy or no proxy the download speed is still less then 1mbs..any difference?
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
how old is your sim card?

if its more than 5 yrs old its time for a change

report it as lost and they'll replace for you FOC

otherwise it might be bad network reception,

try testing with google.com that website should be able to load really fast
[Desire HD General] wonga:
ermmm maybe its time to get a new sim card.
[Desire HD General] auricom:
Hey all,

I just discovered one tiny dead pixel on my DHD. Generally this doesn't bother me, but if it's possible I'd of course like to get one without it.

Now I've read HTC's warranty policy that states dead pixels must be at least 5 per screen or 2 located less than 5mm apart to warrant a replacement.

My question is, has any of you gotten a DHD with dead pixels and tried returning them with success? Mine has sistech warranty covg.
[Desire HD General] chrisoyh:
You need to backup your apps using a backup application like Titanium Backup before you flash the custom ROM. Saving the apps to SD doesn't mean they will be available after you have flashed a different ROM.
[Desire HD General] angka8:
without the proxy, Starhub internet works quite fast.. if yours is otherwise might be a faulty sim card
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
umm titanium backup need to pay right..? ><
[Desire HD General] wonga:
speed test every hour on my DHD the best i ever get is only 0.8mbs download speed...is that normal for all green camp user?
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Anyone using handcent sms and when you send a sms out, you have force close? Mine having that problem. Don't know what happen to it.
[Desire HD General] i1magic:
I remove "10.12.1.2" under Proxy for "Gee! (GPRS)" under APN.

Then I tested with : http://www.mobilespeedtest.com

I was getting 160kbps ..... and the 1st time right after I did the above ... I got 370kbps.

Will test it out more .....
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
never happened to me b4
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
removing the proxy in Gee! GPRS is the same as choosing StarHub Internet as your APN.
[Desire HD General] sunnysideup:
hey guys sorry quick question...sorry too lazy to call and be put on hold on starhub...what are the correct settings for starhub mms? i keep getting asked to log on to starhub's mms retrieval webpage with a password..zzz...appreciate any help. thanks!
[Desire HD General] chrisoyh:
The free version is sufficient if you don't need multiple sets of backup i.e. it is restricted to only one set of backup at any time.
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
I don't see any free version.
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
anybody managed to buy extra batteries in singapore for your phone?

those listed off ebay are from germany or hk!
[Desire HD General] ResortAnthem:
where you all buy your DHD cases? I went to toa payoh there got $12 casing. its okay only just that the lock button must use fingernail press. cause got something making it hard to press, so i didnt buy.
[Desire HD General] wonga:
i bought online from obostore silicon case US$2.99 so about $4 sing..free shipping
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Any SG duses/gals have attempted perm rooting, ENG S-Off, install custom rom, or anything that needs to be done to get a custom rom up and running? I got my dhd from m1, and I'm confused, any kind soul could run me through?

Any rom you all would suggest too? Sorry for being such a noob here ~ ~
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
I haven root my phone yet. Those that have rooted, how is it? Much faster? Cos I find the current stock rom is good enough.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
yes there is, i can see it in Market
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
quite alot of people already rooted and s off their phone already. did u go to hwz forums? there's a good guide in the DHD Android development thread.. it's one of the stickies written by a guy who's name starts with Ivo or something like that..

there aren't many roms for DHD anyway.. so if u want sense it's either LeeDroid, CoreDroid or Revolution..more or less the same.. i'm using LeeDroid.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
it is slightly faster.. and now i can even underclock my cpu speed to only 768mhz and still it's quite fast.
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
Why not cyanogenmod
[Desire HD General] chrisoyh:
For those using custom ROMs, have you done a performance measurement using Quadrant? My stock ROM is posting good figures, so I may not want to flash a custom ROM if there is no major performance improvement.
[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
rooting doesn't improve the speed of your phone, but it allows you to do stuff that would speed up your phone

personally i find the battery life of DHD way too little so instead of concentrating on speeding up the phone i've undervolted and underclocked it instead
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
i did try CM 6.1, the one by Kali and batt life seemed not that impressive for me, cos i'd expect a CM rom to have a lot better batt life than a Sense one, then end up after i upgraded to a 1.72 based Sense rom, the Sense rom had slightly better batt life..so i switched back to Sense. I'll wait till they improve the batt life of CM roms before jumping back to CM cos CM is a lot less bloated than Sense, though on Sense i disabled a lot of bloat and crap stuff that are running which i don't need.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
i think there's a slight improvement over stock. i also did a quadrant test for a CM rom and it's more or less the same as a 3rd party Sense rom, maybe 10% difference only. I was quite surprised though, expect CM roms to be a lot faster since there's less bloat..but maybe Sense has more optimised drivers or something like that that makes up for the bloat. or maybe on a device with a lot of ram, bloat doesn't really slow down the phone?
[Desire HD General] farbird:
Install taptaptap. U wont need to use the button to turn screen again.
[Desire HD General] StevieGD:
Anybody know where i can find the MIDlet Suites For Desire HD?
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Hey guys, do you find that the google maps in the phone, is not pointing to the correct position you are in? I compared it with my friend iPhone and his is correct position while is off position. I understand that if I on gps, it will be more accurate but it takes very long to lock on to my position while the iPhone is very much faster. I'm on starhub, anyone facing the very same issue?
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Hi :) do you mind posting a link over there? And is it noob friendly? XD ah, leedroid works faster? My main concern actually is kind of with the terrible battery T.T
[Desire HD General] ilgtca2002:
Does ppl face sudden shutdown?? My DHD starts auto shutdown after one month of use... very frustrating
[Desire HD General] bryant_16:
Your shutdown refers to reboot or just shutdown straight without it rebooting?
[Desire HD General] ilgtca2002:
Shut down.. when I try to start it keeps shutting down.. then after awhile its ok, then it shut down sparingly.. so I never know if my phone is off until I check..
[Desire HD General] weijie7:
Yes mine too!!!

my gps aint working!! i tried to turn off mobile network / wifi, solely let gps do the tracking job, and it freaking couldnt locate me..

sometimes it shows me i'm in the middle of lake.. how intriguing is that.. i'm on starhub too but i dont think the operator matters.
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
My GPS actually took 5 seconds to lock with the satellite when I'm at the esplanade.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
Post the link over there? Post wat link over where?

I chose leedroid cos I like how the chef cooks his rom and i like the r2d2 elements that's all. U choose the rest also around the same performance wise. What's the difference would be apps or theming that the chef does.
[Desire HD General] shotgunzo:
I think he meant the guide over at hwz.. anyway I'm using revolution because of the Apache kernel being developed specifically for it and the ability now for no-sense..

Cm has battery issues may be fixed with radio.. but to new users, doing radio s-off is daunting.. as well as the new roms being developed..
