[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Can't remember if I answered this thread already but I love this phone so much it can't hurt to reply twice.

This phone is manly, unlike the girlish iphone. I like the big screen and solid feel in my hand.

Initially the ringer volume was an issue but the recent kernels with 20% volume boost fixed that for me.

Now my only complaint is the battery. Nothing short of a 2000 mah battery will keep me happy. I've had to settle for keeping a spare battery with me.

Custom roms and kernels make my phone smooth like a babys bottom and I enjoy quality music with my senheisers plugged in.

I have loved the DHD since I got it , I love the weight of it not like the plastic light SGS the screen is massive and now when i use my ipod touch i cant believe how small it is, the battery was a sllight issue but after Leedroid and Juice Defender Ultimate juice i get two full days of full on use out of the battery now

GREAT GREAT PHONE:):)

I have move from a HTC Desire to a HTC Desire HD and I enjoy the HD better because it seems more responsive and faster.

But I do miss the very lovely screen on the HTC Desire.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaq:
in battery perspective, it has Cons and also Pros:

Cons: .......... (to many to tell)

Pros: It's an attractive toy for many developer 24/7 trying to tweak ROM, kernel (or even radio firmware someday) to improve drainess, with side effect is many intersting features unlocked for community

PS. I love this device, of cause

This is my first post and have to say i love these forums.

I have the option to purchase the HTC Desire HD or the HTC Legend, the legend has the AMOLED touch screen but has a much lower resolution.

The choices!!! which one would members suggest?

I was going to wait for the Nexus-S but in Australia they are not yet released.

i dont like DHD at all

sound quality not good

video quality average

screen well cant compare with SGS screen at all :(

my previous phone was SGS and i m regretting selling it every day.

worst thing it is out of stock in my county

waiting for S2 :(

The Galaxy S has better sound, video and display than the Desire HD? Because

this is one of the phones i am able to get as well
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
The galaxy s is crap lol its only selling point is its samoled screen. Hummingbird chipset is dead, samsung had to lie to make the gpu sound better than adreno 205 lol the standard desire killed the SGS so its nt even in the same league as the DHD.

Not even mentioning that the software is awfull. the nand is that bad the phone lags by default and the gps is shocking lol

Well my story goes like this. I owned iphone 3g then 3gs then 4 then got totaly anoyed that i coodnt make a call on it without a case considering i payed £700 for it so i ebayed it. Then the magic happened i found htc. I got the standard desire and rooted it and tried out all the roms love it so much. My upgrade came on thurs desire hd was plannong on ebayin it but noticed that it wasnt going to sell for a worthwhile price so ebayed standard desire and im so glad as when rooted up the dhd is truly awesome
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genesis:
Just got mine HTC Desire HD last Saturday afternoon...finally after 4 years of absence in the smartphone arena, im back...htc has always been my phone since its xda days. Got myself an xda II, then xda executive and then htc shift (which is still with me). DHD is my first android phone under htc and so far, i love it. The screen is just glorious to look at. User experience has been excellent so far at my end. Of course there are still issues, like battery life, video and camera...but tweaks will be coming soon.

Went to DHD after one year use of HD2. 100% sure that Android is the future OS for PPC.

Works Realy better than Windows mobile.

I am satesfied with DHD as the best phone on marked right now with it's quick respond on functions...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonex1:
The ONLY thing bad about SGS is its GPS. I would take it anyday over a DHD if its GPS was good. As for the GPU, Adreno 205 is good but PowerVR > Adreno. Have you seen the iPhone's GPU handle those new games? SGS GPU is same but an upgraded version. They didn't have to lie about it. Original Desire killing SGS? Give me a break.

And the nand is not what is lagging the phone, it is the stupid rfs file system samsung decided to put in. Easily solved by a custom ROM. Not to mention rooting+ROMing a DHD is harder compared to a SGS. And they just got CM7 too with bug fixes coming up.

If i spot a SGS with perfect GPS I would get it in exchange for the IP4 in a heartbeat. The phone was THAT good. I tried the DHD and it was a downgrade from the IP4. SGS felt like a much better upgrade in contrast.

I am patiently waiting for the SGS2 hoping samsung will not err again on GPS. The rest is easily solved using a ROM and SAMOLED plus without pentile will rock! Atrix is already dead with its encrypted system files.

I'm verry happy with my DHD but the things i dont like is

1. Short battery life

2. Bad display under sunlight

3. Very poor performance of the GPS indoors
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulgrocock:
Having given my carrier free HTC desire with it's omelet screen to my wife, the only thing I can say that is better on the HD is app space, and screen size.

The original desire before they ran out of omoled screens was superb.

Better points on original desire.

Great sound from external speaker.

Beautiful screen.

Although slightly less ram, seems more responsive.

Better camera, although only 5mp.

Terminater track and click button, not used much but for camera and cursor placement to edit text, brilliant. Hate the IOS style magnifier.

Had the original desire a year and it's still like new, never any trouble, had the HD a week now, locked up tonight, battery out reboot.

On the whole the HD is ok, I'm sure the original desire made to go head to head with it's twin the nexus 1 was a different beast though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Words_vs_Pain:
I'm very happy with HTC Desire HD and I would not swap it for other phone.

I always loved big mobile phones for different reasons. Actually I try to get the web browsing experience as close as possible comparing to the web browsing on a PC.

It's really fast and enjoyable to visit websites (Dolphin HD), reading e-mail, going to facebook... etc.

Plus the camera is very good. I believe that if you want to take photos you should buy a Camera. Mobile phones are just mobile phones though they are taking very good quality pictures and videos.

Android is a very customizable OS and I like that. It's fast, I get everything I want just some seconds far with widgets and the market is growing in quality and number.

Obviously I would say that the battery life isn't sufficient. On a regular use basis I've to charge my DHD everyday (wifi on all day, some GPS navigation, etc.). But it's a small price to pay for an amazing piece of technology in my opinion.

Plus, I love to try different ROMs, different configurations... that's why I like this device. It offers the best that HTC can offer at the moment in terms of hardware and with a big community making new ROMS, new apps, etc. it makes DHD my favourite device at the momment.

Just a Final word: I have some friends that have the iPhone 4 I tried it and though it's an amazing device too I would stay with DHD if I had to choose. There are some reasons for me to say this but ultimately I do Prefer to have a device that some people looks at it and asks "HTC? What brand is HTC?"... I'm kinda the low profile type of guy who likes to have a swiss army knife inside of a discreet package without fruit designed ;)

If you turn up the brightness outside its very readable, all GPS will need to triangulate, and its hard doing that with a building in the way

I have an iphone 4 and a DHD and I reach for the DHD everytime. I found it a bit slow with all the stock bloatware which isnt really acceptable but flashed with a new ROM it truly is fantastic, wont be looking back from here!

Have to get a replaced cover from HTC. This problem will make me afraid of wanting to sell it down the road... someone else will have the same problem and think my device is defective.

Have you ever used another phone? With my N8 i'm getting a GPS lock in seconds with an excelent accuracy, with my Nokia 5800 it takes more but i also can get a GPS lock indoors. Indoor GPS uses the gsm antennas and the Skyhook database for Wi-Fi access points, cell companies can locate the exact location of your device without even using GPS, with triangulation between base stations.

When using my N8 i can post a tweet with my exact geolocation, i can't do that with my DHD because i have to go outside, get a lock and then post...

Really? I can get gps in my house. Try gps status and reset the agps. Go outside and get a gps signal. Once a strong one is set UK It's pretty quick. I also find leedroid Rom and kernel are great for gps. You might also want to consider upgrading your radio, there's a thread in the development section about this.

I'm fairly sure google don't use skyhook especially since skyhook sued them, my memory may be letting me down here though, and personally I can find my way around my house without gps so tend to stick to using it outside anyhow

Unhappy about:

- Damaged my antenna cover within 2 hrs after buying it (new one costs Euro 40,00 but i refuse to buy)

- Lost my volume buttons in the first few weeks due to changing batteries too much i guess.

I can return it to HTC but I have bad experience doing this. Once I returned a few months old Diamond which screen stopped working suddenly. They didn't want to repair under guarantee and I could only get the device unrepaired back if I would pay Euro 35,00. Which i refused...

I've been very happy up until yesterday when we had the Earthquake in Japan.

From that time I had this message coming up on my phone because we were unable to use cell phones to contact anyone. Not the phone's fault but it was rendered fairly useless all the same, including the inability to send SMS or MMS. However, Internet did continue to work, so Hotmail was OK, but getting hold of kids to check they are OK is not easy when they rely on the SMS or MMS service.

Coming from SGS Fascinate, I'm super happy with my DHD.

SGS had ****ty build quality - plastic case creaked, GPS never worked (couldn't get a lock in 45 minutes on a sunny day), Sense is 1,000,000x better than touchwiz.

In the past, I've had HTC s710, HTC magic, HTC legend, HTC Desire, and decided to try out SGS. Never gonna stray from HTC again.

Haven't had any issues with battery life - off charger daily at 7:30am, ~1 hr of internet use, some random sms during the day and still 65% by the time i'm home from work at 6pm.

I have Gmail/Google calendar sync, weather sync every 3 hours, gReader syncing every 4 hours... not much else.

Yep. The phone is great. I love surfing on this thing. It was frustrating surfing on my old G900 but this Desire HD is great. Battery life has been great too, but I'm not a gamer (at least on the phone). The YouTube experience is also very good especially with Wifi. For me the phone is important in all situations, that's why I mention the quake. It was easy to access BBC or CNN from Japan to watch videos at work to get updates. The DHD was great for that. Very happy with it. The HTC Sense weather animations and pretty home screen are always a pleasant experience when I switch off the alarm every morning. Maybe I'm easily pleased..I love this phone.

Like now i'm in China on many places no WiFi, mine girlfriends iPod touch can not use internet if no WiFi, but mine HTC Desire HD can use internet from mine computer and thats just great.

Which also great that on the HTC Desire HD I can easy run custom roms and overclock mine CPU and laugh at iPhone users who still think iPhone 4 is superior and get brainwashed by Steve Jobs.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Most iphone users don't really think the iphone is superior. They are just too ignorant about technology to know there are other options. It doesn't help with salespeople describing Android devices as being like iphone but cheaper. Makes it sound like Android is some sort of poor imitation which of course it is not. The only thing that makes me jealous of iphone 4 users is when their phone rings and it reverberates around the room. Wish the dhd were that loud.
