[7 Mozart General] bigdish:
My upgrade from a Touch HD was overdue from Orange and went for the WP7 Mozart.

I know this platform is new but cannot live with the shortcomings - will wait until obvious issues are addressed.

Good

Very well made.

Speed of O/S.

Camera far better than Touch HD.

Zune works well.

External speaker.

Not so good

Felt very "slippy in my hands" can see this being dropped !

Syncing contacts from Outlook 2002 first time is a nightmare.

Signing up a Hotmail account and Windows Live which I did not want to do but had to - to achieve the sync.

The sync was messy as it imported email accounts as a seperate entry.

Cannot import my Calender unless I buy a more recent version of Outlook and load Outlook Connector.

Cannot use a customised ringtone or alarm alert.

Text messages are displayed in a small box - cannot make larger.

To phone a recent contact takes a few presses.

No way to increase storage - 30 mp3 downloade from PC and only 5gb left.

Cannot use my TomTom.

Cannot record calls.

Cannot import my text messages.

Cannot Bluetooth anything to another device.

I was told by Orange that the Desire HD will come in November - so will give this a go.

Sorry to be so negative but I will wait a bit longer for WP7.

[7 Mozart General] trinest:
Wait- your still using Office 2002?
[7 Mozart General] bigdish:
Ah :)

I use Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student which does not have Outlook.

I had an old copy of 2002 Outlook which I have used for contacts and calender for a while now which syncs with WMDC on Win 7.

[7 Mozart General] becknise:
First it is WP7 not WM7. Anyway the not so good are not a deal breaker for me. I'm gonna get it still. After being through Android, i don't think i wanna use it again.

[7 Mozart General] Maxwell Smart:
I just upgraded to the Mozart from the HD as well. Seriously thinking that I will send it back too and wait for the Desire HD on Orange.

While for myself I didn't find a number of the faults the OP had such as slippery, syncing, calling recent contacts...

It is fast and has some nice features but things like lack of copy/paste, file explorer etc are too big failings not to have for my use.

I also don't like the over reliance on Zune and hotmail. The keyboard is slow compared to the regular HTC keyboard if you type a lot with mixed letters/numbers and shift accessed characters.

Also the 8GB of storage is misleading - you really only have about 6GB of usable storage which is very limiting.

Will struggle through the rest of my trial period and see how I get on...
[7 Mozart General] Coke Guy:
i belive you only have 6gb because it allocates space for thing like game and apps, you can change this in zune in the phone options

*when i say zune i mean the software on you computer
[7 Mozart General] Ca5c4d3:
Surely feels like you I will drop the device any time now!

However I sync my hotmail and my work email via exchange so no need for direct outlook sync. But seriously, you are trying to sync it with an 8 year old program no wonder you get issues. Actually, I am surprised it even works at all.

Ok so basically just want to start a thread will all problems people have encountered and possible solutions.

No spam other than a problem and solution per post please. Let's keep this tidy

Format as below:

Problem

Unable to download apps from Market. They freeze while downloading

Solution

Clear the cache

Applications, manage, market, clear cache
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Mines just did the update and the turned off. Now I've got the update icon on screen and not much else....?
[Desire HD General] torseni5t:
Deleting the market cache and data has definately fixed mine, justtested it and downloaded a couple of apps no problem.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:

Right so I just got S-OFF on my desire as many are doing atm and was hoping that people could post splash screens here :). I like the AlphaRev splash screen but would like different ones to choose from. Feel free to post your favourite or home made splash screens, that's what this thread is for :).

You can get the default HTC splash screen from the AlphaRev website.

All thanks goes to the guys at AlphaRev who made all this possible :) (Official Thread).

HTC Splash Screen - click here

AlphaRev Splash Screen - click here

NOTE: TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK I am not responsible if your device becomes bricked or for any damage that may occur on your device(Hardware or Software). This is only for HTC Desire GSM rooted with S-OFF.

Quick Tutorial:

Download the splash screen

Save the splash.img in C:/android-sdk/tools

Reboot into Fastboot

Open terminal window and change directory to "C:/android-sdk/tools"

Type in "fastboot flash splash1 [splashname].img", without the " and replace [splashname] with the actual name of the splash eg. desire_stock_splash1.img

Great tutorial on how to get S-OFF: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805811

I was wondering if anyone had gotten and used the receiver door for the Powermat charging? If so, how was it?
[Droid X Accessories] mmaibl2011:
I got the receiver door a few days ago and I absolutely love this product! It was kind of a pain in the ass to get on, but now that I have it situated there are no issues at all with it.
[Droid X Accessories] mavermc:
I wish i could use one of these things, but i do a lot of plugging in and out and it doesn't look like i could shave off the inside to support the extended battery.
[Droid X Accessories] lynseyw:
I got one, and it is going back. It does fit with the extended battery, but I can't find a case to fit it. My main complaint is that I leave it on my nightstand to charge while I sleep, but once it hits 100% it stops charging. So when I wake up my battery has already began to drain since it stopped charging in the middle of the night. I don't like waking up to a battery that say 80-90.
[Droid X Accessories] BUMP THAT:
makes sense. i would not want it then either. i was looking to get one but i need a case to fit it too.
[Droid X Accessories] mattmartin77:
mine just does not want to charge my phone. the indicator lights signify that a connection has been made but the dx does not show that it is charging. I was reading on another thread about this and they said it had to do with the connectors gettin worn out, but ive only used mine twice so hopefully they will send me a new one. I dont suggest getting one right now, they are new and still faulty.
[Droid X Accessories] kurtwitt:
I'd stay away...

I've had to return 3 of them. I originally bought for my wife so she could just place it on the mat and charge her X and we've had nothing but issues with them. They're just to temperamental from even the most basic use.

I'd stay away and put the money on a docking station.
[Droid X Accessories] alexdogg:
happened to me too it powermat really sux dont buy it
[Droid X Accessories] godfish:
I love this thing, but a lot of people damage the back door when they first install it.

It's easy to fix though, on the back side of the chargeback where the flex connection go's in you see 4 little pins if you take a small screw ; driver like the eye glass kind and press them down it will fix the connection and the phone will get charged.
[Droid X Accessories] bicknell11:
man i really love the idea of a powermat but glad that you all pointed out that the idea is there just not the execution...thanks all for the great heads up on staying away from them

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] lomenciad:
I've never tried tethering, and was wondering what app I should use...and if Verizon is going to bill me. Can anybody suggest/help?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CrackMonkey91:
it depends, if you will be using more then one computer or something like that then use the wireless tether app in the market if your going to just use a laptop most froyo roms come with a USB tether built in that works just use that

but i will say sometimes the phone heats up fast so try to keep it in a cold area to keep it cool

as long as you dont go over 5gb verizon wont even look twice at your data usage

have a good camping trip
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] lomenciad:
Awesome. Thanks, man!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] helljack6:
I've been with VZW for almost 5 years now, 3 of which have been with an unlimited data plan for a blackberry back then and a droid now. I've moved close to 2TB of information under the unlimited data plan and i'm NOT using their "paid tethering service" and have YET to see a bill where i've been charged for an overage of data.

The short answer is no, you're not going to get billed even if you go over the 5GB mark UNLESS you choose to pay for their app which specifically tracks your usage and cuts you off at 5GB of unlimited data and continues to bill you for anything after that.

The technical answer to this question is VZW does not charge an APN fee, so feel free to use any other tethering service BUT theirs and all they see monthly is data moving. And it's hard to charge someone who's streaming 5GB or more a month if all they're doing is streaming something like Pandora, Slacker or Jam11 on a constant basis.

I've done it all via tethering:

- uploaded various LARGE files including hybrid OS for Blackberry

- downloaded various LARGE files

- remote accessed another computer though a secondary computer from the computer I was tethering on

And these are just a FEW of the things i've done that suck enormous amounts of bandwith monthly.

Hope this helps.

I kinda want to know how to do this too. I've read in the evo forum of people using CDMA Workshop to edit a banner field somewhere that says "Sprint", but the field is empty on the D Inc. I didn't try writing anything in though; since it was already empty I didn't want to mess with it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intenselyinsane:
Qstp to edit your prl file will do it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XideXL:
I tried QPST just now as well. It has the same result as CDMA Workshop where there is a "Banner" field, but it is also empty and there is nothing else that says "Verizon Wireless" anywhere. I'm afraid to fill something in and cause a conflict with whatever is displaying "Verizon Wireless". Wouldn't want to brick my phone over something small like that.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcgaynor82:
On the verizon network, that banner is actually sent by the network to our handsets, at least according to all I've read. So I don't think it's possible for us to modify it through any mod of files on the device itself...

When i root will i lose all my contacts?

I see about how to root but nothing about what to do After i root my phone what is their to do next? Install cyanmod? atm the site is down could someone point me to a thread that has the download?

Is cyanmod fryo 2.2 or its something different?

What are the main things to install after i root my phone?

Thanks in advance for the help
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevets:
You won't lose data just by rooting. What you do after rooting is up to you. Installing Superuser is a good start.

You can install a new ROM or use apps like adfree. Other than changing ROMs, nothing major is gained by rooting.

just use titanium backup. go to menu, batch, backup all user apps and system data. you should be on your way. by the way, i would reccomend using pro, and definetally back up the pro AS AN APK using astro or something like it so you can reinstall on the new rom.

So last night, i reboot my desire and it freezes just after displaying the lock screen. I eventually remove the battery and power it back on only to find out it's stuck at the htc logo screen.

I can get into the bootloader and fastboot, but if i try to start clockwork recovery it just goes back to the htc logo.

I tried just flashing with an official RUU but it says i have less than 30% battery remaining even if it's full.

Rooted with Unrevoked and running Defrost 5.8, radio 5.09.05.30.2, unbranded desire on Vodafone Romania.

Any ideas? And think i could take it back to Vodafone and ask them to just reflash it to stock?

I was able to fix it myself eventually. The 30% battery issue only happened my Windows 7 64-bit machine. I tried an official HTC RUU on a 32-bit Windows XP and it worked fine, i'm now back to the stock froyo for Desire.

The RUU i used was:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
