Because earlier, you were replying to someone who was being very tongue-in-cheek, and I don't think you realized it. The following person *thought* you realized it, but I don't think you caught it. Correct me if I'm wrong. This doesn't happen all that often on the internet, where someone assumes sarcasm, but is mistaken. It's usually happens the other way around.

[EVO 4G General] imekul:
This is a question for those familiar with the innards of the HTC phones.

Do you think it would be possible to put a Hero's radio inside of an Evo, thus making a 3G-only "Hevo" that has the horsepower of an Evo but the 3G-only radio of a Hero?

Obviously, this would take some expertise -- perhaps some work with a reflow machine or something of that nature to actually move the tiny chip -- but is there one single chip that could be physically swapped which would essentially change the ESN on a phone?

If the chip was physically swapped, would this have any chance of working from a technical standpoint? Could an Evo function if it had the radio of a Hero? If not with a stock ROM, perhaps with a third-party ROM?

Thoughts?

I have no idea but I just wanted to ask.... why? I don't think this one deserves an answer of "because we can" either.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
With enough money I'm sure anything is possible but you have programming that might correlate with or to that radio. Just like the issue with HTC putting a different camera in the Evo is causing some problems. Imaging swapping a radio what kind of problems you would encounter. Sounds like a major pain the the a$$ with a huge probability that it would not work. Not to mention that is one reason the Evo is the $h1t because it has 4G.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i think the answer is NO. sounds to me that someone doesn't want to to pay for 4g service. i agree the extra $10 sucks because where i live i don't have 4g. but im not going to frakenstein my evo either.

my favorite quote
[EVO 4G General] Dees_Troy:
To me it sounds like the OP wants to move the radio chip from his Hero so that he can sort of clone his Hero's ESN. I'm no expert on the subject, but I think a standard cloning procedure would be a lot easier.

FWIW, the chip on the Evo's motherboard that handles 4G/WIMAX is separate from the 3G radio chip. It's the Sequans SQN1210. I suppose if you're really that desperate to get away from the $10/month "4G fee" (that's not really just for 4G) then you could desolder it from the motherboard and then take it up to a Sprint store and see if you can get them to remove your premium data fee from your monthly bill. While you're at the store, ask for the 10% S.T.U.P.I.D. discount. ;)

P.S. the 3G radio in the Evo is actually included in the QSD8650 chip. Yes, this chip includes the main CPU, GPU, CDMA radio, and even a GSM radio. To do this swap, you'll need to use a lot of extra solder.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Am i the only one thats thinking there is something amiss with this question? i can't imagine any LEGAL reason someone would want to swap chips out with an old phone.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Yup, he either found, stole, or bought a flagged EVO and is trying to use it.

There are much easier ways to clone an ESN than swapping chips.

It just runs well with 2G and edge network but can see inevitable reboot everytime when i connect with 3G

Would it be caused by the baseband or Firmware?

and build number SHOLS_U2_02.36.0

I have tried to wipe everything and flash into another rom but the problem still exist...

I have even sent to the service centre and they could not found any problem

Can anyone here could help me?

HTCsense.com issues not fixed

In Denmark, there are still problems with HTCsense.com - I mess with it to check stability and MANY times I can not connect to my phone to call it, and the SMS service takes a LONG time to react. Also, I have not yet succeeded in remotely locking the phone.
[Desire HD General] Xerxies:
in the very first batch there was (there still is on mine) a problem where i can not use wifi it turns it self off automatically after saying "Unable to scan for networks"

ill try and grab you some debug logs so you guys are more familiar with the problem.
[Desire HD General] Magnus3D:
Internal noisereduction is too strong and it makes all photos look like they are waterpaintings, it should be a quick and easy fix for HTC to take care of.

Image sharpening is too strong set at default zero setting, you have to tune it down to get acceptable shots with less sharpening artifacts in them.

Display powerconsumption is ridicously high, it's somthing HTC have to tune in software if possible.

Possibly too strong antialiasing filter contributing to render soft photos.

[Desire HD General] Merfurial:
HTC Sense is still not working for me...the dashboard doesn't identify my phone's location, the phone does not ring, nor can it be locked or erased. Push messages from the Hub is also not working (HTC Hub via the phone allows me to browse and operate but continues to report that the server is down). The phone number I'm using and related passwords are all correct.

I have one to add to the list:

Reduced or loss of GSM/3G/WiFi signal when your hand covers the SIM/MicroSD and/or battery cap.

An issue I am having is:

I will connect my phone to wifi it will connect fine and tell me I am connected.

I could then later on go into the market and try download something I will have wifi bars but the item will pause download. I then come back out to check if my wifi is still connected and it will say authenticating but doesnt change so I then turn the wifi off and back on. It connects again this time when I go back into the market to download something it works fine.

Anyone else have this issue?

I have a link that you can add below the speaker problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9119804

This thread contains a comparison video, comparing the N95 vs. Desire HD external speaker quality. Also, a few posts down there I explain my experiences about the comparison.

Also,

THE SIM/MicroSD cover issue IS NOT RESOLVED!

Some people had covers that stuck out a bit, but could be solved by attaching the cover properly. However, some people like me have the following problem:

When the hardware got inserted into the aluminum body from the bottom-side, it wasn't inserted far enough, causing the following 3 additional symptoms:

-Gap between top of the screen and aluminum body.

-Gap between SIM/MicroSD cover and aluminum body.

-Camera misalignment - Camera is too low behind the lens.

All these symptoms are caused by the hardware installation process, as it is clear that both gaps are exactly the same (about 0.5-0.7mm). The same counts for the camera, it has the same misalignment in mm's.

To be clear: in my case, the SIM/MicroSD cover gap is caused because the hardware is not pushed far enough into the aluminum body, thus sticking outside too far out of the alu body, and making it impossible to get a proper fit simply because it's physically impossible. It also perfectly explains the gap between the top of the screen and the alu body.

The symptoms clearly all connect to the source of the problem: hardware not inserted far enough into the alu body.

I've made a video for showing the gaps, but it's not perfect. The camera misalignment is only visible if you look closely, because the shade covers the misalignment up.

Can you get a replacement for that? wanna know because I am suggesting people to get a replacement
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
I really don't know, I'm in contact with the HTC escalation team about this, but I do hope so.
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
I'd be interested in any reply you get because I'm noticing the gaps now I'm looking for them and know what to look for. It's irritating because I hate swapping things but if dust gets in it could cause a lot of problems.
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
no problem that's the purpose of the thread anyway. I am bored of seeing people asking for the same thing all the time too.
[Desire HD General] dlads:
Not sur eif anyone else is getting this, i've got like 12 bookmarks on the bookmark widget and although it's not too bad, it is quite laggy compared to the rest of the phone when you scroll through them ?

Also i've noticed some small gaps around the phone, theres one around the screen i think where a little bit of dust has got into the cracks but nothing has gone through to the screen as of yet, i've only had it for a little over a week ! not happy with this.
[Desire HD General] sub69:
Well, I returned mine to Superetrader as the proximity sensor was still not functioning correctly after the second OTA update, and the power button didn't stick out through the aluminium case at all. Plus the right hand side of the power button was clearly much lower than the left hand side. Wonky, and it made turning the screen on a real pain.

Their response? "We will not be replacing this unit since our supplier and HTC confirmed that it is not faulty."

As a comment to the opening post - don't count on getting a replacement for shoddy DHD hardware. I've wasted time and money returning what was clearly a badly built device and that's the reply I get. Shameful.

Remains to be seen whether I get the full refund that I have requested. As someone who has never had problems with any of my HTC devices (see my sig), and has happily used and recommended Superetrader before, this experience has been an enormous disappointment.

Edit: By the way, my power button was similar to the photos fubofo posted in the OP of "Misalignment Issues". Though as I say - the right hand side of the power button was set much deeper into the device. The left side was about the same. I should have taken photos...
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
I have found now that htcsense.com is finally working!

HTC Hub - working

Messages - working (although somtimes it does not resolve numbers to names)

People - working

Footprints - working

Dashboard - working (without testing Lock Phone and Erase Phone)

You may need to cick the 'FIND YOUR PHONES LOCATION ?' on bottom right of Footprints to get the GPS update to work. Also make sure your GPS is enabled (I leave mine always on without battery drain) - you should see the GPS icon in notification bar after you press this.
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
I've also got the misaligned camera, SIM / battery cover, and gaps around screen so I've contacted T-Mobile and asked how I arrange a replacement. The camera issue isn't a huge deal as it didn't affect photos but after looking carefully in decent light I can see a few internal connectors by the side and top where there are gaps. That and the SIM / battery cover will likely mean dust problems later and the worst thing about it is that I wouldn't have known about any of it without threads like this.

I'll post any responses I get about this from T-Mobile.

Edit: No joy there. They said it can only be returned within 7 days, after that it'd be sent off for repair. Not sure I can deal with the hassle..
[Desire HD General] shruff:
Along with the questionable build quality of this device when I make phone call and the screen sleeps how to turn the screen on again without fumbling around with the darn power button which doesnt stick out enough?

I have the latest OTA btw.
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
Try blowing hard in the top right corner of the screen. This should let us know if there is still an issue with the proximity sensor
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
I wonder if the general unavailability of the phone counts as an issue...it's like only about 100 people in the world have DHD while the rest of us still wait in agony...did something go wrong at the production??? :mad: :confused: :(
[Desire HD General] shruff:
I must correct myself, the proximity sensor works fine in call, i.e. when I hold to ear then move back into view.

It's when using loudspeaker that is the problem, the only way to turn on backlight and end a call is to hit the power button which is quite awkwardly low on the other hand at least it cant be turned on accidently.
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
That's the only way to do it.
[Desire HD General] shruff:
It may be the only way but perhaps the backlight should stay on during a call where loudspeaker is activated, for some reason when the other party hangs up the DHD doesn't and this leaves an open connection, extremely frustrating and dangerous whilst driving (if I forget to enable bt handsfree) and trying to end a call. Especially so if using a silicone or TPU skin the power button is inoperable.

Perhaps I could apply for a warranty based on these factors?
[Desire HD General] t3monkey boy:
Im also having the misalingnment problem, Just had my 3rd handset delivered and its the same, the gap is not as bad but its there, also you can see in the camera lens its not in the center, getting seriously frustrated now, am i being picky? is there anyone out there that does not have this problem?
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
You're not the only one, many people have the gap problem. The camera not being perfectly centered behind the "lens", is not a problem because it's not a lens, only a protective cover. Another issue is ofcourse the external speaker sound, what are your experiences on that?

You're not being picky, these problems need to be fixed, especially the gaps and speakers.
[Desire HD General] dan ashcroft:
I keep hearing people reply to the lens misalignment problem saying that people are confusing the lens with a protective cover when I don't think they are referring to that at all, so I'm really confused.

Mine has a misaligned lens, so to be clear I think people with this problem are referring to the part that looks like a little dark glass dome about a few millimetres in diameter.

I believe there is a problem caused by this as due to the lens being too low down the silver coating (the bit with 8.0 mega pixels written on it) on the lens protector casts a shadow over the lens resulting in part of the photo being dimly lit. I have taken photos of blank white paper whilst twisting the camera to different angles in each shot and the dimly lit part of the image followed the changing angles.
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
Yeah everyone is talking about that. The lens and camera module themselves are not misaligned, it's one solid unit. The outer part is just for protection so there should be no problem to actual taking picture. The only potential issue is that you the camera bezel cast shadow in the picture. However this is not a problem since for most people, it is only a mm below dead center.

However, in your case, if you can see the shadow in the picture, then you have a big hardware problem. You are the first person so far to report shadow casting.
[Desire HD General] t3monkey boy:
Yes the external speaker is not the best, I occasionally use it for hands free when driving and its definitely worst than my Hero....

My other big problem is the signal that also seems to be worse than my hero, the phone will drop calls but when I look at the signal strengths its 3 bars, also when sat in one place untouched it can go from zero to full signal.

I am going to go for one last exchange and then if no good will look at my options, don't really want an iPhone but I'm thinking hard about it, its a shame as I love the HD for so many other reasons, ways the next best Android option? Or what phone should I be waiting for? Nexus 2 perhaps?
[Desire HD General] Xera1:
My screen has a black line between every row of pixels. Not so bad in general use but looks terrible in videos, images etc. It's also really bad at displaying motion; text is blurry when scrolling, the home screen becomes a blurred mess when moving and it makes video look awful. Is this just the screen or is it faulty? (I also have the hardware alignment issue ie gap above screen, sim cover etc)

The touch screen is also horrible when dragging horizontally, it does nothing for a small distance then jumps to catch up.

I am waiting for a replacement from 3 and really hope these problems are gone, otherwise I will be cancelling my contract and this will probably be the first and last time I buy an HTC device.

Also the vibrating function isn;t up to standard I think, when I have it on vibrate, I still miss calls because the vibrations simply isn't strong enough....

Will post something on the lens when I feel like it, as I do have a problem, but for you guys to understand it, I'll need to up some pics ;)
[Desire HD General] santet:
vibrate then and not responding

I am having this funny issue with my device. I thought it was related to the lag issue but it seems that it is not. I can be doing something and then the desire will just refuse to respond. It will then vibrate and then the screen goes on standby. When i put the screen out of standby it comes back onto the lockscreen and is completely unusable unless i pull the Battery. This is with USB debugging turned on. I get it so many times a day that i am now getting tired of it. The only advice HTC could give me was to hard reset my device. Which is a pain really. Since i have so much data saved on it.

Anyone experiencing the same

There one serious problem with the FM Radio. It keeps running even after you shut it down. You have to force stop it in order to stop working! Please check it out and let us know if there is a fix for this.
[Desire HD General] clintyboy12:
When you say keeps running, do you mean is active in the background (i.e. Application -> Running Svces) or do you mean keeps playing after you've closed it?

I've noticed that it keeps running in the background, but I thought that was the case for all apps, that they will continue to run... unless I'm mixing things up?

It's also remaining in the Running Apps listing (which seems to contain pretty much everything that's on the phone it's that long!)

I've not had to close many apps, and the phone hasn't slowed down at all. That said it does seem to either restart itself or needs a restart every now and then (probably once or twice a week) which I see as about right for any kind of computer!!
