I've the same problem with my DHD.....soft reset helps but it's not a good solution IMO....I'm living in HK. Anyone has a solution or know the reason why this happens?
[Desire HD General] rakinisbat:
Fixed It I flashed Stock WWE Rom and got a new sim card Now it works Fine
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
The last few times that I charge the DHD, with the inwall charger, it takes more than 2h:30 (the usual time that it took to charge). Mostly it takes more than 4h to charge...

Has anyone got this problem?? Maybe this is due to some app...

I'm new to the android and desire HD, and I've done some searches but I can't find this OTA that is being talked about.

What does OTA stand for and how can I update mine?
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
OTA stands for "over the air", it's automatic. If you just got a new DHD at this point, then your phone should be updated to the latest version already.
[Desire HD General] umiss:
Thanks. Say I didn't get a new one and have one from the first batch, then this OTA update should have been performed automatically anyway?

It corresponds to the updates one can find in the settings > about > updates ?
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
I would believe so
[Desire HD General] umiss:
In that case my phone is up to date (as it says when I try to update) and it must be something wrong with it. So I'll be taking it back to the store tomorrow and see what I can do.

Thanks for the help guys.

Hi, my desire to have a hd ROM Vodafone branding. In addition, this phone image, the icons are white shadows. I installed yesterday Cyanmode but this problem has not passed. The original, commercial-rom htc hd Do you have desire? How to complete a clean install?

Do you think this problem is hardware or software?

Edge connection to the letter and the clock icon in the shadows desk clock note that the white rectangle.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
formatting two class 2 8GB SD cards of different brands with 32k cluster and no good for video recording, it still features random skips

however i found another solution, the issue is multi tasking when u first launch the camera app and start recording they skip, however if say you are outdoors and been using the phone only for camera you will notice the video recording no longer skips

so i tried this and it worked, i use free advanced tasks manager and i press end all tasks before launching the camera and hey presto video recording is working perfect

i don't know if this a combination with 32k cluster formatting, but certainly 32k cluster thing didn't solve it on its own

can you please add this to jerky camera solutions?
[Desire HD General] katman4:
Hei all,

Just got my phone yesterday, nothing to report.

I was esspecially careful about build quality, but it's perfect.

Also it seems the battery is a bit sturdier inside (i remember the initial reviews where it slipped out, now it has to be pulled)

Software wise i'm still learning Android but no issues yet.

Perhaps i got lucky with some later batches?
[Desire HD General] katman4:
No need to be snarky, i was just posting to highlight that some issues might be isolated to early batches.
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
To be fair, I agree completely. Mine turned up with the misaligned camera, wobbly battery cover & the screen prtuding slightly over the edge of the side of the handset. I thought this was normal & affected the vast majority & had decided to keep it but upon reading this will be returning it now for an exchange as I'm aware there are handsets being shipped right now without any of the issues I have. So, thanks katman4, appreciate the update & i hope my exchange, when ot comes isn't another one of the early ones.

Just for the record, is there a way of identifying the affected ones via serial number againt those that don't have them that we could maybe check on without identifying the handset completely online (for cloning or other nefarious purposes:cool:). Say a date code or something?

Anyway, cheers again, appreciate it.

[Desire HD General] vrooom666:
Hiya first post, excuse me for my poor english.

I noticed there is bug on recieving the text messages when text messages app is open and running.

I set my htc desire HD to vibrate only, and set the default app and other app like handcent to vibrate on reciving the message.

When the app are closed, i get text message, it does vibrate along with pop up message.

However, when the text messaging apps are open and running, i dont get vibration when i get the new message, even it was set in option, It made a sound instead.

Is it normal 'feature' or bug?

I dont know if this is htc desire specfic bug or general android bug.

[Desire HD General] katman4:
Glad to help, i'm not sure how we could identify the handset without risking anything.

Even so i'm quite afraid to open the battery latch again. It seems solid enough but it's still plastic...

Couldn't even make the battery slide out last night when i tried, and since then i'm resolved to keeping it there.

Happy to learn you're able to replace it still, local policies in Romania don't allow consumers to return anything bought from the shop directly after 48 hours have passed.
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Weeeeell, my replacement turned up today.

SIM card cover - excellent fit - totally different to before.

Screen in place - a different league to the last one. Seems to be level (ish) this time.

Camera - offset still. Not as much (it seems) as the last. Enough for me to keep it anyway.

HTCsense.com still not working.

Camera not as good as the Desire it's replacing even taking into account the advice in the "camera tips" thread but I can work on this...

Thanks to all involved in this thread, I probably would have kept the old one had this resource not been available.

Hi

I have something to contribute to this thread, some people (including me) had problems whereby their Desire HD would randomly turn off (not reboot).

The problem was resolved (and I can verify it works for me) by making sure the SIM card was completely inserted in its socket.

Haven't seen any big differences really.

My DHD does not go into the recovery mode

Hi,

I've just received my DHD thru ebay. I think it is from Middle East with WWE rom. No complains about the rom but I've tried couple of times to go into the recovery but I failed. What is the correct procedure of going into the recovery mode. In manual it says:

Performing a factory reset using phone buttons

If you can’t turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.

With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.

Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.

Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

But it did not work on my device, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind solved. (Settings-> Applications -> FastBoot (tick off)

New issue after OTA update

Hi

After the latest OTA update to stock Android version 2.2.1 the phone is now draining battery like crazy. When I look at the battery log, it shows that Android System using more than 30% of battery life and increases even when the screen is turned off. I used watchdog app to check the issue, and again Android system tops the list. I have disabled auto-sync, attempted even to disable wifi and data connectivity all together, still with no luck.

The phone used to last at least half a day with normal use, but now it goes nowhere near 5 hours with screen turned off!! I have reset the phone to factory defaults a couple of times now, and nothing changes. I have been with this new version for about 4 days now.

Any ideas?? Possibly a downgrade option??

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD General] acidspider:
yeah i have this problem, the sms notification icon in the top bar does not disappear until the bar is dropped down and the message viewed that way

fix for this yet or too soon?

[Problem Solved] Issues After OTA Update 2.2.1

Hi

I have found a solution for this issue that so far seems to work. After noticing that not even after resetting to factory defaults, Android System (process) persisted in misbehaving, I decided to take a different approach. The procedure involves resetting the phone to factory defaults but this time via the bootloader and recovery menu. To note that my device is not and has not yet been rooted so all options mentioned should be available in your ROM (I guess).

Procedure:

1st - Make sure that all your data is backed up(I use Mybackup pro)

2nd - Turn fast boot off: Settings>Applications>(uncheck)Fastboot

3rd - Now turn the phone Off (Power button and select power Off)

4th - Pressing the volume down button (don't release) then tap the Power button once and with the volume down key still pressed, a white (hBoot) screen should appear.

5th - First using the volume up/down to navigate through the options and power button to select: you select RECOVERY

#The phone should restart in Recovery mode: a picture of the phone with an exclamation mark is presented.

6th - Pressing VOLUME UP and POWER BUTTON should give you different option, scroll down and select Wipe data/factory reset. This should reset the Android side of things and wipe the Cache folder also.

7th - After that is done, you want to reboot the system back into the white (hBoot) screen, so select the first option and whilst rebooting keep the VOLUME DOWN button pressed. Once in the recovery menu you select FACTORY RESET.

At this point the phone should start up as normal and you set everything up again and it should be back to normal. I Would advise to wait a few minutes before restoring your backed up data, the apps should be fine to be restored.

This method worked well for me, the device has been of the charge at around 3 am [GMT] and remains with 30% at 17:45h after restoration and with normal use after about 10am.

Hope this works for you.

[Desire HD General] eozen81:
I have been using Desire HD over 7days so I will not make spesific comments about battery performance yet. But here below are my negative feedbacks about Desire HD (as a person who has got wide Iphone experience).

General

- Volume buttons are so close to each other which causes you not make sure If you did what you want (increase or decrease). You always feel that you should see with your eyses that you pressed the correct one.

- Upper left Power button, that sucks. Not only it's a different concept but also it's so close to volume buttons as well. It's so likely that you accidentally press volume buttons when you try to press only power button and that makes you crazy.

- 3.5 mm jack under the phone, that sucks as well. Once you wear headset and want to play with your device vertically or horizontally it's always bothering you (especially on vertically times)

- 4 menu buttons are crapped once you try to do something on the screen, there so many times I accidentally pressed one of them and find my self on search or home screen.

- I have not seen any device which have got a terrible battery cover before. I start to pray not to break it every time I try to open.

Audio

- Everyone should accept that this phone's speaker sucks. It's not loud and not quality as well. I got my friends Iphone near my Desire HD and played same quality songs and played same games and Desire HD need so much way to jump.

- Music quality is crapped again. If you are on headset maybe you have a chance for an enough quality with SRS effects but without them quality is zero compared to Iphone.

- I am not even bothering to talking about EQ settings which are enable only when you are on headsets, they really really suck.

- Speaker on the back of the phone. I wonder who might have got that brilliant idea because it should be at the bottom or on the top of the device so that the user himself can hear that crazy low sound.

- FM Radio reception is too bad. FM Radio openning / closing time is so long. You have to use wired headsets (for antenna) to work FM Radio.

I had the same problem... I solved this way: (Menu) - Settings - Wireless and networks - Wi-fi Settings - (Menu) - Advanced - Wi-fi Suspend... set to NEVER SUSPEND. Even though "Android System" is still the #1 battery drainer in the list, now battery life is just like before the OTA, or even better!

Let me know if this help. ;)

*** THIS does not seem to be the definitive solution. Tomorrow I will attemp the factory reset proposed by skullnubien...

WiFi Hotspot issue

Hi new to the forums but have found them incredibly useful so far. Noticed a couple of weeks back an issue with my WiFi hotspot app where when it is turned on (with mobile data already enabled and working) it claims there is no network availability on the app and my laptop is unable to access the internet through it despite being connected wirelessly.

Strangely enough I can still access mobile data through the internet app whilst its running. I found I could solve this by turning mobile data on and off whilst the wifi hotspot is active and then disconnect/reconnect my laptop and it will work perfectly fine. The app will say connected to mobile internet. Intruigingly if I turn the mobile data off in settings and turn wifi hotspot on, I can access the internet on the phone but it will initially come up with the "connection failed" pop up and then continue to load the page, despite not apparently being connected.

It's no deal breaker but not sure if anyone has experienced this issue yet, it's quite annoying really!
[Desire HD General] PuerkitoBio:
Is it me or the DHD reboot problem is not listed in the issues of post #1? There's the random SHUTDOWN issue, but the reboot is said to be a separate issue (possibly requiring a new motherboard!). Here's from the Shutdown resolved thread:

NOTE:

If your Desire HD randomly reboots, then that is probably a different issue not related to the SIM card. The Desire HD turns OFF when SIM card is removed/not inserted 100%, it doesn't reboot.

Here's the reboot problem thread:

These issues scare me a bit, since I just got out of the awful Galaxy S i9000M (the Bell Vibrant) that had a big hardware problem (would stop booting, requiring a new motherboard, then more often than not, would break again). I'm starting to wonder if there's any high-end phone working OK...

SD CARD UNRECOGNIZABLE

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I found a problem and it turns out it has happened to more people (it is currently being mentioned on a dutch forum as well).

Some people have reported that the 8Gb SD card, that came with the DHD, stopped working suddenly and is not recognizable anymore by both the phone and the pc.

What they have in common:

- all (as far as I know at this moment) have stock DHD's, so no root etc

- all recently updated to 1.72 with the OTA update

- all have whatsapp

- all have astro file manager

Is anybody here having this issue as well, and does someone, by any chance, know why this happens and can something be done to prevent / repair it?
[Desire HD General] chapperz:
Happening to more people everyday this is, theres already a thread in the accessories sub-forum. There is no fix for this problem, the card is corrupt, as far as i am aware no one has managed to recover any files. HTC have confirmed this is a problem caused by the recent update, and are issuing replacement SD cards if u give them a call. The actual phone is fine, its just the card that has died and a replacement card seems to do the trick, no one has reported problems since replacing the card.

Not everyone with this problem have whatsapp and astro file manager btw.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
On the Dutch forum, several users have ,mentioned the same problem as well.

I have called HTC today.

They have logged my complaint and will call back in a couple of days.

The employee confirmed that there were more similar issues raised and that it is very likely a new sd card will be sent.

He also mentioned that the problem probably has something to do with the latest (1.72) OTA update and apparantly, as of yesterday, the update has been made unavailable.

A new update is being worked and will be sent in a short time (that are almost his exact words - except that they were in Dutch :P)

Battery cover: How many times does u open this? i only used it onced: at unboxing.

FM radio: U need headphone because of some license things. For example: u listen to radio and listen so loudly to the music that somebody can record your music and share it (ofc its crap because u can also use speakers for listening, but.. :D)

Hi Guys,

This is my first post here since Qtek times, I've went through this whole thread just to be sure that it wasn't posted, it wasn't easy for me to search because I do not know the exact english word for it...so sorry if I missed something.

I'm from Portugal and as most latin origin languages we use accentuated characters, sending SMS from DHD is a pain, "ã" and "é" even though they show up in keyboard when you choose them they come to input as regular, non accentuated characters, i.e., "ã" will come out as "a", this is pretty annoying.

Googling this I've found many people with similar problems, they tried other sms programs but to some extent there was no full success.

I've even tried Gingerbread keyboard application (from good XDA) and problem remains.

Just wanted to alert for this.

All the very best,

How about adding "autostarting of car panel" as an issue to the first post? I've gotten it over the last week, googled it and found lots of other users having the same problem.

It seems to be hardware-related, the USB port has a short-circuit that is interpreted as being connected to the car dock, and the phone thereby launches car panel. Over and over again.
