[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theproskater:
I noticed in all of the promo videos for the mt4g that there was a little hole on the back above the speaker. I can only assume this was for a secondary mic. When I went to the store to play with the phone, there was no hole. However, on all the official cases at the store, there was a little cutout for this mic hole. Anyone know why the production units don't have this hole?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon C:
The secondary mic was probably cut as a cost-cutting measure, sadly.

And you're right, the cases do have a hole for it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotony:
Heh you're right. I just noticed the cutout on my case extends to that area.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
I had this requirement since WM5 on TyTN but it was never fulfilled due to hardware issues. Basically, what I need is a software that will automatically and transparently record all my telephone conversations on the background and save them on a reserved area on SD card and erase older calls on a FIFO manner. Then, in case you need to replay one of those calls, you can locate it on sd and listen to it.

In older HTC phones, this would fail due to hardware limitations. You couldn't record the output of the other party's voice that comes from the speaker.

Does anyone know if that will be possible with DHD and if there is a software for this or built-in functionality?

PS.

Please do not go into the procedure of explaining that recording conversations is illegal.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
So, I understand that either there is nothing like that or no one knows yet.

Does anyone know then at least if it's possible to manually record the conversation on your card and have both partys voice clearly recorded? not only yours through the mic?
[Desire HD General] alien79:
try this website, it has many free and paid for call recording applications. although the reviews are not all that.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Thanks. it looks interesting although from the details I saw, it seems that the same limitation will still exist. I guess it will be a permanent hardware limitation.

I'll give it a try in a few days when I'll have my phone.

This is great news. I'm with Jeff on this one. I'm going to wait awhile until the dust settles and we get some good Vanilla ROM's cooked up.

I just bought the phone last night and wow is it loaded with bloatware... It's night and day faster than my Mytouch 3G rooted and running Fasttest w/ the RAM hack.

i have two left hands when it comes to this stuff and was able to do it in a couple minutes with roots explorer and a terminal emulator on my phone, its really easy...works perfect :)
[myTouch 4G General] Jeffmeister:
What ram hack are you talking about?
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Donut ROMs for MT3G have a "ram hack" available that moves about 10mb of ram away from graphics and makes it available for system memory.

Great news for those like me who only use their phone for productivity, but bad news for gamers.
[myTouch 4G General] 2Noob4U:
Agreed. Sorry about the confusion.

Despite all the tricks to help preserve battery, I still find the performance of y standard 930 mAh battery very bad. Is there an extended (reliabl) battery for rhis phone and where can I get it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Dan53:
Just gonna drop my experience in. It seems the battery lasts for about a day and a half. Which can be seen as over three days (depends what time you charge it on the first day) instead of using the normal homescreen, download helix launcher from the market, it helps alot
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xperiaforme:
One day and a half compared to my brothers Samsung's week is really a disgrace.

I already have another home screen, just got to like it, so not changing it at the moment.

I have contacted Seidio as they make extended batterys for other phones. Would not hurt if oter people did that too, so please, those who care about this problem, contact them and ask them.

Seeing you all really hungry for power, it's just feel right to warn you guys. Never ever use cheap small portable charger that you spot either on a shop or ebay no matter how desperate you are. If you use it, best scenario, it only ruin your battery, or in the worse (like me) it ruin the phone. Both case has the same end result, the battery discharging way to quickly even when Idle.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
How did it ruin your phone?

I would like to know. thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
As I'm a long distance cyclist, I already own the Biologic ReeCharge. Anything that can be charged by usb can also be charged by that tool. I can use both my bicycle dynomo hub and the electricity network at home to charge the ReeCharge. Witch then is able to charge my phone. It's a kind of extra battery. Never have had any problems with that and I'm always glad on a cycle trip that I can keep my gadgets (most important gps) charged :-)

Well, I don't know the technical details but it fried my batteries (that's right, more than one) before I realized it was the portable charger that caused and even after stop using it, it's still recurring (therefore, the phone is at fault) After asking my friend who used the same type charger once. They all said that it ruined their phones and told me if I want to have a portable charger, go for the lithium one that sony Ericsson's is selling.

hi,

i'm using varta charger type 57048:

http://www.amazon.de/Varta-Professi...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1291062768&sr=8-3

and i don't want to miss it on longer journeys. the usb-out function i would say is nearly as fast as the normal charger. one akku pack is enough for about 2 charges. if you are on a journey and not able to charge the akkus you can buy normal batteries. they give about 1 charge.

i have experiences with other chargers and phones and i would say this thing works really good because the usb-port of the charger turns off when batteries haven't enough voltage. this prevents your x10 battery from damage because wrong charging.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] charchar03:
My x10a mini pro came with 970 mAh battery, not 930. Battery life is about a day and 1/2. I use USB car charger in the car on needed basis only. Hopefully USB car charger doesn't fry the battery.

So I was having a recovery image issue with my Incredible (the recovery would just pop up a black screen with white lines down the sides), so I tried going back to stock and now the phone's screen wont power on.

I tried reverting to stock using the PB31IMG.zip located on this page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726791) and it turned the screen completely black now on the phone.

Mine is general AND has a poll, the other one is too specific and restrictive: proximity sensor and battery. In mine, you can vote and eventually explain why. That's why I created a new thread.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuba1410:
Absolutely not.

I had the nexus one before and thought DHD would be my secondary phone (I have to have two) but after playing with it for one hour I switched sim cards and never looked back.

One word - screen. When I look at the nexus screen now it looks like a toy.

Although I am a bit irritated about the speaker quality.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] who knows:
agreed, the speaker quality is terrible and so low

By the way, I'll vote and answer when I get mine. I pre-ordered mine as I'm due to an upgrade and they said I'll get it tomorrow but I know the demand for the DHD is so high that it might take longer.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuba1410:
Isn't it? You would expect more from a flagship phone and boasting "Dolby Mobile" and "SRS", the nexus one had none of these and although the speakers were rubbish too, they still where better then those on the DHD.

Ignoring the battery issue (it's getting better after few charge cycles though), I don't regret it all.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossysaurus:
today i took mine out for a solo test run for the first time. came off charge at 10am and 12 hours later has 35% battery, after 45 minutes of gps, 3 hours of wifi internet and and hour of angry birds. oh and 3 phone calls. thats not bad. this is after 8 complete charge cycles done over 4 days. when you use it heavily it dies quick, but pace yourself and it does juuuust fine.

the camera is shockingly bad though. white balance is terrible, focusing in anything but perfect light is crap, and the image quality is questionable.

and the ear speaker volume is a little quiet for calls in loud environments, but its CLEAR. i had no problems hearing what the other person was saying, even in a noisy cafe.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthiasdeblaiser:
I'm not really shure if I would have bought it and these are the reasons why:

battery life is not that good, although I expected this so it's not really a reason, though I'd like to mention it

"Locations" only works with data connection, so what's the use of preloaded maps then? I want to see my location without having a data connection (when roaming abroad) but this is not possible, why not? such a shame. This should be possible. I even think it's ridicoulously easy to implement in a firmware update, though I wouldn't really know :rolleyes:

Speaker is absolutely useless. I never hear it when it's in my pocket and to make matters worse, the vibrator is not one of the best either. It makes a lot more noise than it should and it just vibrates fast, not hard. The lower the frequency and the bigger the amplitude of the vibration, the harder you feel it. Every phone in this price range I ever had, had a better vibrator

camera quality is very disappointing. On the DHD's screen it all looks very nice and crisp, untill you copy the shot to your pc, bummer... I was expecting a serious improvement in quality, coming from an iPhone 3GS but sadly this is not true

setting up the dlna to work (if compatible, which it is rarely!) is harder than running to the store, buying a Nokia N8 + hdmi cable, transfer some movies to it and connect it to your tv. So, kinda useless...

is it really that much trouble to install a LED notification light that you can actually see from an angle?

Ok, flash in the browser works, but how... it's slow and laggy

to sum it up, the DHD is still a fantastic phone, but to me a flagship device should excell on EVERY field, or at least be way above average on every field. This means GPS solution + speaker + camera... everything! And it just doesn't, not even by a long shot.

Honestly I was expecting more from the DHD

for the moment I'm keeping it because I still feel there is no phone out there that can offer me this much, but as soon as Symbian revamps their UI, I'm going back to Nokia. On the insides, S60 is still a very good OS and I love it for its possibilities but sadly it looks like crap and we're too spoiled by iOS and Android to go back there...

Same here. And the colors on the N1 look way overdone. I don't even like to look at it. I read so much on the bad speaker, but I must say I think I have one the better ones I guess.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuba1410:
Didn't know that, any way, this till makes you think that speakers have some quality to them.

Actually, the my first impression was: Nice, big screen, but the colors are off.

I had a black wallpaper on my N1, put the same on DHD and it looked bleached.

After over one week of usage I have no reservations as to the colors, the screen is pure brilliance, I am never going back to a <4.3" screen.

You must be lucky with the speaker. Youtube is nigh unusable without headphones.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sylpher:
In short, no, but had I know about my new carrier (Vodafone Australia) having such poor reception, I would've thought twice. I used to be able to get full reception, nowadays my reception fluctuates at the lower end and sometimes disappears altogether.

The phone itself is really nice, it is a bit big, but I expected that with all the past comments/reviews.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
I have my phone a week now, and having cycled the battery a couple of times, I get a day and a half out of it. From 100% charge at 9AM I can go until 9PM the next day with the charge at around 29-39% depending on use. I may be light on use I guess, but I probably could squeeze two days if I needed to. The first couple of days it only lasted about 20 hours, but it keeps getting longer with each passing day.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
The main drain on the battery is the large screen. After a normal business day (20 calls ~1-2 min each, some mails, couple of SMS, ~20 mins of book reading, 15 min browsing) I still have 42% battery 16 hours since I unplugged it. Good enough for me! And I can't really get why some people are complaining about the GPS draining their battery - buy a car charger!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inuk2004:
fan..bloody..tastic

First ever post here but i think that the DHD deserves a post

Before the DHD i had the HD2 which I think is a very nice phone bar the fact that it was plagued by the Windows Operating System and even more by Vodafone UK's incompetance in getting vital updates to its long suffering clients ....

I got the standard desire on upgrade and sent it straight back, this is not to say that I didnt like but just that just didnt feel the same as the HD2

Now that i have the DHD its like catching up with a mate that you havent seen for years

Love it and would never go back

Battery is just fine for me and i use if for work so WIFI/Network Connection will be typically on all day, I like to play my games and so on. I'm probably not the hardest user in the world but I am certainly not a lite user! When putting on for charge of an evening it will typically have 30-40% left. My work car has a theroretical range of 600 miles on 60mp/g, does it get it, no bloody chance as I would have drive like my Granny to get it

And i must say that I am a bit perplexed as to why a battery not lasting a couple of days is such an issue. Am i alone in the fact that i charge my phone everyday?

Stunning piece of kit, not perfect but will get better i think
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forelli:
Now I got mine I can give an answer: No, I don't regret my upgrade! Luckily, I only have the battery drain issue, but with custom roms at the corner, it will be a thing of the past. The poll results show that out of 60 respondents, 10 regret their upgrade/purchase. So it's interesting to see that, and most interesting is to know why. Share your experience with us because 23 answers don't match the 60 votes.

Thanks.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feckewe:
Sorry to be a bit controversial here but I am beginning to regret upgrading from HD2 but only because it was such a complete device and connected seemlessly to my exchange email and coupled with a decent car holder was an excellent sat nav running tomtom.Having used windows mobile devices for many years i also see it as the end of an era and despite the popularity of knocking the windows mobile o/s it was extremely configurable and HTC did some amazing things to the ui on the HD2.

Unfortunately it was upgrade time and Vodafone offered me a cracking deal and the plan was to maybe sell the DHD after a quick look at what it could do.

After several days playing with the DHD the only problems i have are the lack of tomtom and the fact you need to be a mutant to be able to wake the phone up with the power button!!

Now i've sorted the power button problem and can now wake it with the volume keys but can i live with a tomtom replacement?

As i said i am seriously regretting ever getting the DHD out of the box because now i've got a tough choice to make ( although i can see the HD2 ending up as a spare ) !!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.er.rant:
Same here. I don't regret getting it at all, the huge screen is really wonderful; just quite disappointed at what it could've been. Disappointed with HTC too, at what looks like trying to make a fast buck off of Desire's success. :(

This is a bit strange... Is Desire really that drastically different from DHD that you'd send the former back, yet really love the latter? The DHD doesn't feel the same as HD2 either I would think. :confused:

I must be a mutant! :D No problems with hitting the power button. Guess just used to HTC phones by now (or... I have big hands).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.embeddedfreelancer:
I completely agree with you! My DHD hang today while someone called me. I have to pull out the battery in order to restart. I'm using stock ROM v2.2.

I like Android but I am really disappointed with HTC. They keep coming out with new devices without providing the good product quality. I ll encourage ppl to use Android but not from HTC anymore.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
I came from a 2008 phone (Samsung i900 Omnia) which was lacking in speed, screen and graphical power. Now I own the best phone so hell no I don't regret it, even though the price dropped $100NZD in like 4 days since I bought it lol.

This is what I always wanted from a phone, plus more. My friend is now also pretty keen after seeing mine, the screen is definitely breathtaking!

Mine is still fully unaltered (Froyo 2.2) until I learn more about Adroid but I must say the phone performs better then I've heard around the forum before I bought one. It has never froze or lagged. Battery is also good for me. The camera is good.

Speaker is pretty crap though, but still I wouldn't trade this device for any other and I'm never giving my $$ to Apple, bunch of tools.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranceonline:
first of all: I love the peace of goodness !

never would give it back or switch with another phone.

and now a short story:

A friend (an iPhone user) said " hey let me see your new phone" he tried it out some minutes and said : "Nice phone. if iOS were on it , I would buy it"

I really laughed at him, because Android OS is is better than iOS. much better. creativity and free configuration are the best words to describe it I think. AND the phone it self, the hardware, ie better than his iPhone 3GS. I took another friends iPhone to play a game and it felt like toy in my hands ! so small and the case made out of plastic!

made me grin ;D

my last phone was a G1 and every iPhone user said "OMG android is so slow and laggy!" and now? nothing to complain at all. only that it is android. but no concrete contra. android rocks! android + DHD FTW

this phone is gorgeous!!

if it were female, I would.... no, let's stop this here :D
