Are you satisfy with the Desire HD

Hi guys

Alot of people has the Desire HD.

And alot of people complaining from the battery performance and the proximity issue

And also alot of people satisfied from the battery performance and no problem from the proximity sensor

So are you satisfy with The DHD or you are not happy with the DHD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basil3:
I'm more than happy with this phone. I'm not getting very good battery life, and can't last a day, but I'm not too concerned because I'm sure tweaks will be found to increase battery life and a bigger battery will probably be available at some stage.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarfreak26:
Ditto love the screen with brightness wacked up lol
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i would like to see how desire hd will get bigger battery life if it goes inside the phone hardware unlike the HD2 with its own cover.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
Battery life is not a problem nowadays with any device. Just get a couple of $5 batteries from hongkong (eBay) with a charger. Keep a full charged battery in your pocket and you will see that you don't give a d*mn about how fast or slow the device is draining the battery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmoo:

I still can't make up my mind on my DHD, afew things bother me about it, the battery life, the sound, and the weight of it. Im thinking about changing it for a iPhone 4 as I've had my heart set on one for awhile now.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gibbo82:
Totally agree, the desire HD already weighs a ton...lol we don't need any more weight added! :0s
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssimmmo:
The battery seem to be very good I've charged it once like in two days and been using it all the time. Weight well I just think it show quality lol and noo don't get a iPhone you will be one in a million with the same phone. Lol

I've always wanted a jailbroken iPhone for sum reason. Maybe I should just stick with the dhd for now and just wait for the next iPhone to come out next July, and see wot that's like. Hmmmm
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 19ninety:
Battery is better then I expected but dies fast under heavy load. the text input can be laggy and difficult due to the extremely sensitive screen, just need to be near it for it to sense an input! With there being so little boarder round edge of the phone it often thinks I'm trying to do something else when I'm just trying to hold it in my big hands :S annoying when trying to type!!!!!!

The camera is a massive step up from my TP2. Haven't tried video in daylight yet, got the DHD and went straight to a wedding.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rixsta:
Im totally the other way, typing is a joy, no lag at all, never touched something I didn't want to while holding it.

The camera and video are almost unusable indoors, going from light to dark, very bad, not to bad outside but still this is the biggest problem with this phone, Im hoping this can be sorted out.

All in all very pleased with it but Ill be upgrading to HTC next phone next year probably....if its any good haha
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rixsta:
Again no one mentions the camera and video going from light to dark, very bad, I thought this would be the number 1 complaint.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basil3:
I guess it depends what you want to use it for. I have a digital slr for photos, am happy with something that takes adequate spur of the moment pics.

I've never understood taking videos, just not my thing, even dating back to when camcorders first came out. I recently had to sit thru a video of a friends 40th. They were sitting there laughing away and I was thinking to myself 'i was there, I know all this already!'.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaidM:
Having just moved from a jailbroken iPhone, if you want to customise your phone in anyway I would highly discourage anyone from the iPhone. The iPhone is a great piece of kit as long as you use it the way apple intended and no other.

Android and HTC are so much more flexible and cusomisable :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy00_uk:
Hi I've had my DHD for about 4 days and I'm happy. The battery doesn't last more than a day but I'm playing around more than I normally would so sort of expecting it.

The screen is really good and as far as pictures and videos go, they are as good as I would expect from camera phone. To expect more would be silly I feel, like one of the other posts said there are dedicated cameras if you want really good pictures.

The software could maybe do with some tweaks but I'm sure with updates they will come.

Cheers muzzy
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurQich:
I haven't this phone..

What's Problem also with Sound?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
Happy

Battery life is on a par with my previous 3 devices!! Why are people going on about this. Give the phone at least a week for a few recharges to condition the battery and you will get a day's use out of it under normal use. I keep the charger by my bed and it's all set to go the next day.

My only gripe is the external speaker. Otherwise very happy :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Issues? I haven't noticed any issues. Speaker could be a bit louder and wouldn't have minded a slightly larger battery, but by and large I'm very happy with this phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethania:
I really love this phone.

Screen is big and have natural colours.

Wa abit unlucky with te batterycover wich seems to be a size too small.

Otherwise I dont have any issues with it.

About the speaker:It works really well for me. Even loudspeaker calls works great.

It is just as loud as my previous Desire.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
I would echo that also...

Impressed

I had my HTC Desire HD for 1 week now, I just got out of a 3 year iPhone relationship and I can not get my hands down.

It would be unfair to compare it to my iPhone 3G since it is no match compared to my new powerhouse. I wanted an HTC since I saw the HD2 for the first time, I was totally hooked on the big screen but wanted Android on my next phone.

Only things worth mentioning from my side is like allready stated the poor covers for battery and sim - batterylife is around 24 hours with normal use but no biggie at all, charges when I sleep a last me through the day.

Best phone I ever had.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenjinky:
Ive only had mine since yesterday & I totally love it! Sure the battery only lasts a day but that is part & parcel of having a smartphone. Ive not had any of the issues that others have said & believe me I have been playing with it constantly. One thing I do agree with is that it is quite annoying that I have to keep pressing the button at the top to awaken my phone, my last phone(G1) was easier in this respect. However all in all I love the desire hd
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGarak:
Same story here. Best leap between devices (3G -> DHD) I've experienced yet.

Also, I only discovered LauncherPro 2 days ago, made me love it so much more! Droid addict now and proud. :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatherD:
The one thing I am happy about my dhd is that I purchased it up from a 3 store after cancelling an online order ... Why?

So that tomorrow I can go and chuck this piece of crap back at htc! Enough is enough, creaky sim cover, ill fitting battery cover, **** battery life ... And today .. Proximity issue rears its head and no update available from 3 to cure it.

This is the worst phone I have ever owned, full money back or I will seek legal recompence.

The last message Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

EDIT: binned without question, full refund .. many thanks to the only competent company in this whole debacle: 3Three
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarintus:
I just realized something...

The Desire HD is very fast and snappy. Just like the Iphone. I was about to cancel my order because I thought, hey, dualcore processors are comming. But I just realized, that they will not be the next big thing and will not leave the current 1 GHz processors behind.

Why not? What will a phone be able to do more with the dualcore processor:

Better graphics and games. (This is not what I primarily use for, and why better graphics? The screens are so small).

Hd video recording. (not why I buy my phone, if I would care about High quality I would buy a camera for 200 euro's that will record in better quality). Its for recording on the fly.

So what will it be able to do better? 2 times faster internet browsing. If think it's pretty fast now, I rather think it's the network that limits it's speed now.

I can't think of things that will make my phone use better with a better processor. I don't think android will be making an OS that will ask much more from our processors. The primary development seems to be the increase of speed in the last builds. With other words, they are optimizing. They get that you don't need a phone with more special effects to be great in use. Now they are making changes to the layout, but I'm pretty sure it won't effect the minimum needed specs much, if any.

So I'm still buying the Desire HD, though I have to wait a couple of weeks because of the problems with delivery and stuff.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crash_194:
My experience of the phone so far is major disappontment and i'm really glad I didn't sell my origional Desire.

I haven't had any issues with it so far after owning it two days, I just don't think its any real major improvement which I believe it should be for the cost.

The screen is very poor on the Desire HD and its only saving grace is the size, which is only of any real use when surfing the web, and that really isn't an unpleasant experience on my Desire. I guess a comparison for me would be like buying a 50 inch CRT over a 40 inch LCD, I'd go for quality over size any day of the week.

Okay the Desire HD has true multi touch, now I can only see any real benefits for this when playing games, as pinch to zoom is the only important function for me when browsing for instance so dual touch works just fine for me on the Desire.

Yes the graphics processing is amazing, but again only noticed any real difference when playing games (pocket legends is what i'm referring to as a game by the way).

Battery life is comparable to the origional Desire in my opinion.

And yes I know on paper all the facts and figures suggest this phone is more than a worthy successor to the Desire but in the real world of everyday use I just don't see all the bumped up figures come to fruition.

My desire in its current tweaked state (coutesy of a teppic stock rom and a few additional add ons, app2sd+ and a boat load of system app clutter removed is more than a match for my Desire HD.

Come on guys what am I missing?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Ok, how much better is your tweaked Desire than stock? Imagine how much better a tweaked DHD is going to be, give it some custom rom love and you'll see how she flies. For sure if your not going to use intensive apps or games it's just a big desire with more memory but if that how you roll was there any real point upgrading in the first place?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdalacu:
Best smartphone i have ever used, and i owned a few.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Ditto................
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crash_194:
Yes your right and your final sentence is probably a very good point. If i'm honest i'm not sure what I initially expected, I just thought it would be a major noticable difference. Internet, google maps/navigation, movies, train times etc are all everyday essentials for me, and i do hammer pocket legends when i'm bored at work lol.

I haven't given the Desire HD a fair crack of the whip yet, I just thought i'd post my honest thoughts and not kid myself I had an amazing high end smart phone that was the best i'd ever owned just because I had spent a boat load of cash on it. I somrtimes get the feeling people do that as they say they think a phone is amazing but they never give any real substance as to why.

I'm die hard HTC anyway so if I didn't like this one I'd only buy a different one :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euphorie:
It is great phone, with great functionality.

But in first days i realized, that it is somehow pretty slow.

After flashing custom ROM it is running much better and batery life much longer.

So flashing is great option to improve the phone.

From technical site it is amazing, that clear and big display is just amazing.

Also when you life in country, where it is often cold it won't make fun to have it in your pocket.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
i feel afraid to make a phone call when its freezing and i am outside but i like it :P

Loving this phone have no complaints at all i am just privileged to have this device :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euphorie:
Hehe true :D

Or when you want to write SMS and it is just soooo cold :D

Bad idea without gloves. I believe i gonna buy plastic cover for cold times^^

Its the opposite for me I had an iphone 4 returned it (after a week) and got the DHD £25 month instead of £35 (over 2yrs saves £240) and £169 back into my account, so in comparison my DHD is a bargain and its still awesome :)

And ref the screen I had a HD2 before the Iphone4 and i just couldn't go back to a smaller screen after getting used to the HD2 screen size.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aenima462:
As many have said, best smartphone I've ever used.

Going from the moto milestone with a hardware keyboard, this phone is very easy to use. The last HTC phone I had was the touch diamond when sense was touchflo3d and windows mobile ruined that piece of hardware. If the Desire HD is anything like the quality of the touch diamond, which it sure feels solid, then I'm sure it will be indestructible other than the screen.

Running Leedroid with OC/UV @ 1.8GHz, I score 54-55 in linpack and 2500+ in quadrant, there is almost no lag using the UI on this device.

I will also never be able to go smaller than 4.3" screen size now hahah
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GurliGebis:
I'm pretty happy with mine, though I'm a bit tired about the sms problem, but maybe that will be fixed soon :-)

After flashing Revolution rom, it works alot better and holds battery for alot longer.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMango:
For me the big screen alone is a huge improvement if you use the internet and the web.

If the internet / web / email with images, etc... is not important to you then a smaller iPhone sized screen is enough.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toiversen:
I only got mine yesterday, but so far I'm loving it.

I came from a heavily modded Hero (tried many different ROMs and tweaks), so naturally I rooted the DHD right away. Running Revolution HD now, and it's great.

For me, the biggest change from the Hero is the speed of the thing. Also, the increase in screen size over my old phone is a huge improvement.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredlum1988:
This phone is perfect in any way, though the size of the screen is both good and bad!

The gps is also useful in foreign countries!

Same here, just moved from a Gingerbread Hero to DHD. Turned the Hero on again yesterday and was shocked at the small screen size :eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkieSA:
I'm very happy with mine. I get more than enough time out of my battery which can be more than 24 hours with a fair amount of usage and in my opinion that is more than enough.

The phone has everything I need, I love using Facebook, I can watch videos, play games and browse the internet on a screen that is big enough so that pages are viewable.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkieSA:
Picked my brothers iPhone 3GS up this weekend and could not believe how small it looked and felt compared to using my DHD for two months, it's amazing how a person becomes used to something in such a way.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.r9:
Hehehe...I had the same experience.

I had a regular Desire for like 5-6 months, then I sold it to a friend to buy the DHD. Now, after owning & using my device for a month whenever I hold his phone I always have 2 reactions:

1) The screen is noticeably smaller.

2) Colors are bloody fantastic on the AMOLED screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrence750:
+1, my old sony ericsson k800i had more customisation options than my iphone 3gs (use it for work but i hate it so much!) , love the desire hd best phone i've used!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
I've had my DHD for about a week now. After coming from a Dell Streak I cant belive how small the DHD is, I actually texted somone using one hand the other day, it was amazing!

The speaker is quite poor compared to the Streak, I realise now just how good the Steaks speaker is.

I've flashed a few ROMs and all seem to suffer from scaling problems what changing the DPI. I would never use a phone at 240DPI, its like its been made for a blind person or somone with sausage fingers:) The Streak scaled everything perfectly from 100DPI too 240DPI, I wonder why the DHD cant do the same. No biggy tho, I've got it set at 190DPI and most apps run fine :D

Also the screen doesn't seem as bright as the Streak. I watch a lot of Star Trek and I prefer the Streaks screen but maybe the size has something to do with it!

The main reason I sold my Streak was that it would randomly reboot itself, which got very annoying in the end, and I was due a new phone, I always like to change my phone :)

Overall I am very happy happy with my move to the DHD, its a lot more one handed friendly than the Streak, and there are a lot more ROM's and customizations for it!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaunUK:
Had mine since Friday and I've been blown away by it. The screen size alone makes upgrading worth it. I'm certainly browsing a lot more on my phone these days.

The only annoyance so far has been that the volume buttons are so recessed they're practicaly flush with the case. It's almost impossible to change volume in a call by touch alone and I find I keep hitting them by mistake when I'm holding the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregy74:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkreize:
What don't you like about the sound? Is it not clear or loud enough even you crank the volume to maximum? Or is there a crackling sound when it is turned to max?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfile087:
I've just gone from an iPhone 4 to this phone and overall I'm kinda disappointed at the moment. Apart from the following issues it's a great phone!

The sound is pretty low on this thing if you ask me, the iPhone especially was a lot louder.

My battery isn't that good either but I'm hoping it will get better as the days go on. I managed to get a days use out of the iPhone 4 but this phone a lot less.

The only other thing that annoys me is whenever I try to download anything from HTC, not always but generally it's unable to connect to the htc sense server and I've still never been able to activate my free turn by turn navigation trial as it says it can't connect to server.

I'm gonna hang in there though seen as I've just sold my iPhone 4. I'm sure it will get better and hopefully one of these custom roms might improve things.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PalaNIN:
I'd just like to point out that you're going to get some positively biased opinions asking about the DHD in the DHD forum.

Anyway, I love my HD. The screen size took a bit of getting used to, bit I don't think I could handle anything smaller now. This thing is a monster when you chuck a custom ROM on it. If you're even somewhat of a power user (which you probably are since you're on xda), it's an amazing phone to have.

@xfile087

Have you tried the google navigation its amazing compared to the google navigation you get on the iphone and of course its free...

Htc are always having issue's with the HTCSense website and having sense syncing on your phone even on the minimum update schedule drains the battery alot, personally i would remove it and you'll notice a big improvement in battery life.

(you can always put it back on)...

Which is a shame as some of the functions HTC offer through HTCsense website have really good potential and i'm sure with time the site and the sycing will get more stable and battery friendly, but for the time being for me i've just removed it from the phone...

Edited to add - As in removing HTCSense Syncing not actually HTC sense...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LawAce:
This is why I kept my iPhone 4 when I bought my DHD yesterday, so I can make the choice. I never had a thing for iPhones before the 4, but it really is annoying how good it is as an all rounder once jailbroken.

Loving the big screen, ability to customize, snappiness as it's new - not loving the lack apps on par with iOS apps, missing the hi-res.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crash_194:
I have the latest Android Revoltion ROM flashed on mine and it is working much better and the battery life has improved substantially. The phone is alot less hesitant in normal operation and seems snappier and flows better. A good noticable difference is when just scrolling through the Sense home screens.

I've really grown to like this phone over the past few days. I can't say I'm not disappointed in the screen quality though. Thats not to say the screen isn't good, because it is. However there are better options available and I would have personally liked to see an SAMOLED in there.

Interenet is awesome, writing texts is easier due to the screen size, email is great to. I'm really liking the Sense UI update as well, I've always been a fan of sense anyway.

Still can't bring myself to sell my original Desire though as I still think they are awesome lol
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istinet:
I have bought my DHD last Friday and I haven't got much time to properly test it. I've tried some custom roms, not as many as I wanted, but I've tried a few. My impression about the phone, in a word: fantastic this is the best smartphone I've ever had. I can't recall all of them right now, but my first one was an A 925 Motorola and my last one a Galaxy Spica.
