Mod edit:Quoted comment removed... unnecessary and rude!!

I more worried about the fact that there are people out there who think that vitriolic bile like this is even remotely acceptable, even if meant "in jest".

Pathetic, and a very sad indictment of our community here if this sort of rubbish can be peddled with impunity.

Im sooooo happy with my DHD!!!!!..i did buy LG O2X as to try the dual core staff..well, its pretty amazing with the speed..but its lg ui is really horrible plus i hate its 4" screen size..to small for me..so, i take decision to use back my DHD..really miss the htc sense..lol!!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Yes. It does everything I want from it and does it very well. Excellent screen, the best Operating System (OS), fantastic apps, a delight to use. If you (the general public) want a full touch screen phone with a large display I couldn't recommend a better phone.

... Until they release the Sensation that is!

I'll have to say no, I'm not happy with the DHD. Great features & specs but very badly put together.

I will soon be returning my second faulty DHD - this one now has a faulty mic. Added to that, the 4 other people I know personally who have a DHD have all had to swap their phone at least once.

This is my first AND my last HTC phone.

Why do you, and many others, judge an entire manufacurer based on one single piece of hardware? Your first HTC and you will never buy their products again? WOW Using that logic you will be soon out of manufacturers if you keep getting bad phones. Juss Sayin'
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
I've been really happy with my Desire HD. I got it back in November of 2010 here in Japan. I used to love powering it on every morning and watching the beautiful Sense weather animation. Since then I've gotten into rooting and trying custom roms. I never liked the feel (or the look) of the back of the phone so I tried a few cases and settled for a TPU case. The case makes it feel much better in hand and more user friendly when putting it down on surfaces. The phone is charged every night. The low sound volume was the biggest let down for me but that has been improved by using custom roms, so that has been my biggest justification for rooting (apart from the enjoyment of tinkering).

The HTC Desire HD has a beautiful large screen and many functions. The camera is great when not forgetting that this is a phone. Battery life is great when used as a phone. If you want to watch YouTube all day - then you will need a charger.

I bought this as an enjoyable phone to use, with extras. So when I'm out with it, I preserve battery life so that I can always use it as a phone for a long time. If I stop and use it for YouTube at work or somewhere - I'll plug in the power.

Thumbs up from me. It's not often that a material possession gives me so much fulfillment, but this phone is a pleasure to have and use every day.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Very good device. I'm pretty satisfied with it.

It feels very nice in your hand, heavy as it should be, not plastic like samsung phones. On the down side, it feels easy to drop or slip from your hands. Maybe just takes some getting used to. No problems with build that anything feels bad, mostly battery/sim covers, all are aligned perfectly, probably only lucky. Real pain to open to change SD, SIM or battery. But since this is not done often, not really big issue.

Big nice screen, very good picture, nice colors.

A bit too touch-sensitive for my taste, often when I scroll (slide?) something gets launched. Maybe it is only me. Also, the screen covers whole front of the phone (almost) so it is easy to touch it on the sides and run something unwillingly. This also takes getting used to.

I really love sense. Has widgets I couldn't replace with other apps. I mean, you can, but Sense's are better designed and more practical.

Battery is crap, what can you do. You just have to get used to it and carry charger all the time. I'm still considering options, whether to buy extra battery - which I doubt I will because I hate opening the phone, pretty hard to do. I have to find external battery.

Camera is excellent, on daylight (outside) makes perfect pictures. A bit worse inside, colors are not natural and is easier to get blur. OK, colors are bad on all phones, after all they are not real cameras. Also, placement of camera is really great, never have my fingers in the way as I did on i.e. iPhone.

You can get anything you can imagine for it, so much programs! I really like it.

Sound on the speakerphone is OK, but is dependent on how you hold the phone to your ear. If you move it too much left/right, it can get quiet, it takes a bit getting used to. I suppose the speaker or hole for the speakerphone could be WIDER so I wouldn't need to center it to my ear to get clear loud sound.

Speaker is really not that great, too much treble, no bass at all. But it is bearable. Also, could be louder. But all in all, pretty normal, nothing you can't live with.

Turning on really takes getting used to. Only turned on with on/off button, which is also to LOW and until you get used to it's position and how you hold your phone, you will have problems with that.

Device should be really fast, but it is not. I mean, it runs 3D graphics really smooth, games work great, but overall felling is that a 1 Ghz machine shouldn't stutter at all and scrolling in lists and main sense "shell" should be smoother. This is probably Sense problem, because programs work fine and smoothly.

Apps launch pretty quickly (compared to i.e. Windows Mobile) and are really stable. Only had problems couple of times with Skype not responding when lost wi-fi. Never had to restart it.

Bottom line: Really great phone, pity about the battery and speaker. I recommend to all except people that really need longer battery life.

If you want a better battery just look in the accessories thread for "Mugen battery". They have a 1500 link in there. I've been using one for weeks now. It's a life saver.

I love my Desire HD. Its just so nice to use and fast... i still remember the first day i got it, it was before Christmas... i spent 2 whole days on it, exploring, trying new apps. This is my first android phone. All my previous phones were symbian nokias, and this is a huge diffrenence. Switching from my nokia 5800 to the Desire HD is like switching from a donkey on a horse :D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downesey:
yesyes and yes. My love story is one of separation and a loving return. I came from a htc touch hd, flahing a new rom every 2 weeks, pushing the limits of wm 6.5.1, then the taste of an aosp android rom...i was so intrigued by the smoothness and uniqueness of its design. So i went and upgraded. To an Xperia X10. And so months went by with my clutching to broken roms, wishing the aosp roms would work, sometimes i would go a few weeks without the ability to answer calls due to a massive bug in the 2.2 rom i had installed, but i was desperate for an unrestrained android. Then came the desire hd, a giant gorgeous powerful phone. everything i wanted. Htc called me back. i sold my battered and buggy and locked xperia for pittance and grabbed a desire, only a couple of months into its life, to enter a forum that was packed with roms, projects, experiments and all sorts of freedom.

Sometimes i go back to the xperia forum to see how its doing. unfortunately cm7 still doesnt have video camera.

so yes. im happy as anything with my dhd

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As pretty much everyone else here has said, I love mine. Battery life isn't so great, however the likelyhood is that it will last you through the day. Build quality could be slightly better, as it doesn't live up to the materials, however, it is still very good. I'd put it on par with something like the iPhone 3GS in that regard.

The display is great too, not as bright as it could be, but the colours are very natural, more so than the SLCDs used in the smaller HTC devices. Don't listen to reviews in this regard...they all believe that oversaturated AMOLEDs are the best because they are attracted to bright colours like a crow to shiny objects.

And a great buy now at the prices they are going at. I'm not willing to pay double for a phone that will not be any faster in day to day usage, put it that way. Nor am I personally interested in some 1080p recording beast; at the end of the day, it is still a phone. And 1080p playback...I've got a big TV for that.

Basically, for 99% of the population, it is a great deal right now. For most, the Sensation will be a phone for the spec obssessed. If that makes them happy, hey, more power to them.

I moved from a HD7 to Desire HD.

HD7 has a faster OS and better battery life. But I shouldn't have to root it just to install homebrew apps that Android can do on a stock ROM!

I still have my HD7 as I'm curious of how Windows Phone 7 still turn out in future.

But for now I am glad I bought it. Not happy that I got carried away spending hours on it as a hobby flashing ROMs, Radios and Kernels like a toy. I should of been doing other things :D

All the comments are good I wonder if only the OZ version has too many problems

Hi guys,

I have read most of the comments and all are positive reviews, so this is what I have found in the Australian version:

Two work colleagues got the same problem with the phone:

- The speaker mode was enabled all the time, it was disabled in all the settings, the only way to fix it was to remove the battery, wait for 10 secs and the put it back again.

- The usb storage mode didn't work, again removing the battery did the trick

and last one:

Today in one of the phones all the sms have disapeared, and this time I can't find any workaround for it.

So I would ask for one of the happy users to answer me this: Is it necessary to install a fresh copy of android, the way we used to do with the Windows mobile phones? if so which version is the most stable,

cheers,

Hlov

No, but I usually do a factory reset out of the box anyway.

If you intend to stay on stock and go official all the way, then just do a factory reset and let the over the air updates do its job over wifi. It'll update to latest android version your carrier allows should the phone is branded. Sure and safe way for average person.

or

If you want to go unofficial, lose over the air updates and choose your own android OS with a new custom ROM.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefanic:
I have a really mixed experience with the DHD.

I come from a Desire with amoled display.

Got the DHD few months after buying a Desire from my boss.

Must say the S-LCD screen is very much worse than the AMOLED of the Desire. It has better viewing angles and all colors are much more intense. Not always a good thing but it does make it look prettier.

Also the build quality of the DHD body is terrible in my opinion.

The edges along the screen are wobbly up and down and on some points you can feel your finger rubbing against the sides.

Not to speak about the battery lid, all my colleages at work got a DHD (8 or so) and noone got the battery lid to close properly. It sticks out so much it has the same height as the volume buttons.

The rounded square that contains the flash LED at the back is also loose now, clicks when you tap it..

Sounds like alot of complaining but I do like the phone alot.

Nice and fast and the size of the display is also great.

And of course a good Custom Rom community here :)

Im very happy with my DHD which i now own since 4 month.

Only bummer is the battery drain and if i had to buy a phone right now, i would probably wait for the evo 3d or sensation.

But still, the smoothness and all the crazy things you can do with the desire hd i.e. booting ubuntu or android 3.0 just makes this an awesome cellphone

Sensation wont get cracked that soon(or ever). Depending on developers effort we will see how far that device can go. The sensation is useless unless there are custom Roms support from the dev which the DHD is enjoying now. So i see myself holding on to the DHD until there are better options available.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telemachos:
Yes i am happy. Overall: its got a big screen; it is fast; there are nice roms tweaks and themes. I dont like: the build quality, the overall design (to fragile) also it does feel pretty slippery/unsafe when holding it in your hands. Battery life is ok (if you dont use it you get more than 24hours- if you are a heavy user thats another story) rezeption is not the greatest, call quality and speaker are not really good.

I think about getting an iphone next. Nice concept, nice build quality, nice speaker and a whole new world when it comes to accessoirs. Also now that i have this big phone i realize i dont really need such a big screen..
