[Desire General] Deeco7:
I am not interested in using a Non-Stock ROM and I don't think that would make any difference. I was talking generally about the phone and the amount of flaws disadvantages it's self from reliability.
[Desire General] pilgrim011:
I am absolutely satisfied with HTC after using 3 different phones made by them in the past 3 years. iOS and Apple are great for dumb people.
[Desire General] Ik Desire:
Why didn't you bring it in for warranty? Freezes and reboots are not normal on an unrooted desire.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
Maybe it's just a dodgy phone? A new ROM would amost certainly fix your issues providing they aren't hardware related. Have you tried to get it repaired using your warranty?
[Desire General] netomx:
I came from an iPhone. iPhone get hotter than this phone.. you probably got a defective phone, mine works flawlessly...

And believe me, use this rom and you'll love it:

If you want to move to another phone look around go in shops there are many try an iPhone, Blackberry, or another phone. It's your choice no one can make that decision for you.
[Desire General] Deeco7:
That would be the obvious thing to do, but I am unwilling to have my AMOLED screen replaced with a SLCD one, that's just me.

The phone is defective you guys are right but as explained I don't want the above scenario to occur.

TBH, the only reason one I metioned iPhone is because it has all the features I want 'Front face camera' etc besides the Signal Problem, I can jailbreak/mod the phone to my desire and needs.
[Desire General] brummer101:
??

But you're not willing to root your Desire and flash a custom ROM?
[Desire General] Deeco7:
Like I mentioned above, I had rooted it but I consider flashing to a Custom ROM will make no difference whatsoever as my device is fault and unwilling to deliver to HTC under warranty due to screen replacement.
[Desire General] netomx:
so, you're looking for an excuse to buy an iPhone, or you are making yourself a martir? You dont want to try a custom ROM, but dont want to change the phone neither... so what's the point of this thread?
[Desire General] Kalavere:
Good point. I'd rather be with an Android OS than iOS, but with that said I'm not going to go over the rigmarole of an Android Vs iOS Vs WP7 'discussion'. :cool:

If it was my phone I'd take the time to atleast root it and get Clockwork recovery installed and try a light Sense-based ROM to see if it is defective hardware or not.

What's even more simple than that is resetting the phone to factory defaults to see if the problems persist, have you given that a go?
[Desire General] Deeco7:
Look, I'm not sure if I have phrased it wrong or something, but using a custom rom hadn't made any difference.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
Aye you did, if it still persists you've got a duff phone. Warranty is the best bet, get them to replace it, then stick with it or try another phone. As it's pointless using a defective device, it'd drive me up the wall.
[Desire General] sarge78:
Exactly, so you've got a defective phone but won't RMA it, purely on the basis you'll get an LCD screen instead? Madness... Those early AMOLEDS are nothing to write home about too.
[Desire General] netomx:
I thought you didnt tried a custom ROM, my bad. Well, send it to repair, and then sell it in ebay and get an AMOLED one. If you're insterested, and if you live in USA, I got the A8181 version, and I want the A8183 (WCDMA 850), and I dont care to get a SLCD screen.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
The SLCD's are actually more vibrant in colour, although I'd say the AMOLEDs are more efficient.
[Desire General] Deeco7:
Yet again, I have mentioned that I don't want to sacrifice my AMOLED screen for SLCD as I the AMOLED is what I payed for and is better in comparison. The Desire battery is bad as it is and adding SLCD will not do anygood.

I don't want to drift into that, a back to my first post.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
Considering you are asking people for help, you are being very short and sharp with people and really aren't being too polite. That was a statement, I was retorting generally to sarge78's post about screens.
[Desire General] Deeco7:
I thought all AMOLED Desire are tend to be the faulty ones? How much do you think I can profit from my device (fairly new, no scratch, fully boxed, unused accesories)
[Desire General] netomx:
a defective device? none.

Refurbished? I dont know, I payed 3450 RMB in China for mine... like 516 USD and I think I saw that on ebay too
[Desire General] Deeco7:
If I was to offer the Warranty with it, Surely it has a value. And he/she (buyer) can mod or do whatever with it, so what's to lose?
[Desire General] samsanchez88:
I've actually heard the new S-LCD is quite good, better in some respects worse in others (and specifically battery wise i think the new s-lcd is quite good, uses more battery on blacks but most of the phone interface isn't actually black) so i see no reason to look down on the s-lcd (plus you can actually see the screen outdoors!!!)

So before looking down on an s-lcd go to a phone store and try it out, you might be surprised!!!

Furthermore, if you send it to be fixed you might just get a new motherboard or something and, if they can, they'll leave your screen and the rest as is!

Some desires are faulty but by no means are the early desires all faulty, i've got one of the fist ones and it's never missed a beat, don't et posts about unhappy customers put you off, you'll find just as many unhappy iphone users!
[Desire General] AdamLC:
If it helps my friend has just had his Desire replaced and he got an AMOLED model. Orange said that apparently HTC are shipping AMOLED models again. Might be worth some investigation!
[Desire General] Deeco7:
Thank you all for your replies.

There is no guarantee that this is the case, it might be carrier links. May I ask if your friend had given an notice to HTC' that he does not wish to have his screen replaced?

Could you assist me on how to contact HTC on Device Repair under Warranty?

I'm not sure what to do, but I will take all your advices; samsanchez88 suggested checking instore at the SLCD model and AdamLC suggested investigating HTC Repair.

Thank you
[Desire General] Jiia:
My friend had similar problems as you described. Freezing, random booting and overheating. He then sent his phone for repair and they replaced the motherboard of the phone but kept the screen. I don't know how to contact the Device Repair but if someone could provide you with the information I think you could have your phone repaired and still keep your AMOLED screen. Maybe contact the HTC support?
[Desire General] adjei7:
When I first got my desire, I had lots of problems for about 3 months, took it in for repairs about 3 times had a replacement which was also faulty, and actually would have preferred an slcd screen at one point. I had motherboard problems and screen problems. Now it's fixed still has the same amoled screen, and I don't regret sticking with my desire one bit.

Software problems can be fixed fairly easily, hardware problems need more work, so if that's the case send it back. The difference between screen types is insignificant compared to proper phone faults. With a properly working desire I bet you won't even notice the screen difference.

If you want an iphone go for it. It's a very good phone despite what a lot of other people on this forum believe, but it's unfair to compare a faulty desire with a working iphone. Personally, desire (a working desire) is still the best phone on the market!
[Desire General] Deeco7:
Thank you for your reply. Would you care to elaborate the process you taken when sending your phone to HTC?
[Desire General] adjei7:
Well, reading my story will probably add to your doubts, but my experience, although extremely unpleasant is probably not the norm. However, I must be truthful.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8606036&postcount=5

I hasten to add that my phone has been fine ever since.

FOR SALE: BROKEN PHONE. WITH WARRANTY, HONEST. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
[Desire General] Parastie:
I love my desire, just bought it a month or so ago. I'm not sure if its amoled or slcd. How do you check?

You should remember that technically the LCD screen has the true advertised resolution.
[Desire General] Deeco7:
The phone isn't bloody broken. Honestly, why comment if you got nothing better to say?

Next time save your comments.
[Desire General] ste1164:
I sent my phone off to HTC and got my phone back still with it's AMOLED screen. If they just replace the motherboard they won't touch the screen at all
[Desire General] Deeco7:
Sorry for double post.

Anyways, I contacted HTC and they sent me the following email:

I need advice, How to I go abouts letting them know that I don't want my display changed and what is the process of booking a repair?

Thanks.

[Desire General] killyouridols:
Ring a number on the Email

Explain the issues

Tell them you dont wish the screen to be changed if possible

See what they say

Save XDA Bandwidth

You have a faulty phone and there seems to be nothing we can say or do. Its NOT normal Desire behaviour, there is NOTHING you can do EXCEPT ring the warranty line and see what they say as you certainly seem to have a dodgy one
[Desire General] Cpt_Chaos:
I agree with Kalavere and others. I think its just a dodgy phone. I have had my Desire (which is stock) and I have had no big issues with it. I definitely haven't had any of the problems that you have had.

I feel bad that you think that way about the Desire because I have had many other phones and 2 smart phones before the Desire (WinMo) and I have to say it is the best move I ever made.Sure there are some issues with this phone but what phone doesn't have its issues?

I would take it back and try to get another or get it fixed and see if you have any of those issues or see if you still don't like it.

I wish you all the best.
[Desire General] landwomble:
Akternately, ***** about it in an unofficial forum, alienate those who might have helped you, and see how you get on. I don't know what you're expecting to achieve here!

[Captivate General] RonH54:
I have just the stock 2.1.1 ROM. I know each of various Custom ROMs have different things that make them somewhat different from each other but here is my question. Is there one "major" thing that Custom ROMs have that should really entice to try one of them? My stock ROM seems fine to me but I have never seen what others can do and I fairly sure once I try one I'll think WOW why didn't I do this sooner. I have read all the "How to" things about Flashing,I have done all the prep work and have all the software, I just trying to make the final jump to Flashing and I just wanted some input from you guys.

Thanks
[Captivate General] skinien:
Biggest advantages:

-No bloatware (some of these apps will/can load at bootup and set in memory)

-Wireless Access Point / Internet Tethering (free internet on the go)

-Lag-fixes can make your phone much "snappier". Some report that they're pointless but I definitely saw a difference when I was running 2.1 and used a lag-fixed ROM; it was much faster than stock. The newer stock (leaked) ROMs seem like they don't need a lag-fix. They seem to be running better.

-RUN FROYO. You don't have to wait for Samsung/at&t to release software. The awesome community developers are already working getting Gingerbread running on our phones. Samsung/at&t haven't even given us Froyo.

My advice is that you should read up on each of the ROMs and see what people are saying about the latest version. Occasionally, when a dev releases a new ROM, he/she may introduce a bug (usually get's fixed pretty quick).

Have fun!

Is there an app that can have the SMS app receive the google voice messages and default to sending through GV? There are plugins for the iPhone that do this, but havent found anything for android that will do it. I hate using the official app for SMS... its slow and clunky!

Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] arabcamel:
I'm not aware of anything for Android, but I would love to know as well if there is.

In regard to Google Voice being slow and clunkly. It may be a little annoying to some to have to use a seperate application, but there are fixes to the slowness. Mine is just as fast as opening the stock sms window.

Voodoo Lagfix resovle the slow google voice app issue for me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dc41:
Google voice needs to be completely integrated into android. One should have the option of setting it as the default voicemail and sms client. One should also be able to apply themes.

I suspect the lack of mms support is 1 reason they haven't made it so.

As always, IMHO :)

can someone tell me which .pngs in the framework-res correspond to the different elements of the actual pulldown?

ive seen two pulldowns that i want to kinda combine.... the transparent background with the Galaxy S logo of the Darkness theme, and then the other elements of the ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA theme....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kdwolf85:
It's in the twframework-res.apk
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Aftashok:
lol, already starting out wrong.... what files correlate with which elements of the pulldowns though?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kdwolf85:
Throw the twframework-res.apk into apk manager decomplie it and check out the file names and thumbnails of each picture. With a little logical deduction it's pretty easy to find out which file corresponds to each item in the pull down menu. The hard items to change are the font colors. There are a few guides around the forum if you search long enough for them. I however am in a good mood right now so...here are a couple of links to the guides I used when making my JJ4 Gingerbread theme.

[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Same here. It took me like five times until it turned green. Hold it straight up and down, and press calibrate, and slowly flip it around from top to bottom, and then rotate it side to side. You don't actually have to flip it all the way around in a circle. Just about 3/4 the way back and forth. If you go too fast it will turn red. The trick is to go slow and smooth (like when you are with your girl!) :D
[Defy General] milesg:
Go on, admit it, you didn't press the button to start the calibration process and were just looking at the demo animation.

It's ok, I did exactly the same thing :D
[Defy General] Raccroc:
Had the same that happen and felt pretty stupid sitting that flipping and rotating a phone for...*ahem*...to long. It seems that once it turns red, there is no going back. Exit, restart, and try again more slowly.

My experience with it is that if it doesn't turn green in the 1st 10 seconds...it ain't gonna.
[Defy General] crazyVII:
Muuuuuuaaaahhhhaa... same here, the first time it somehow worked, but the second time I turned and turned and turned... I really became angry, suddenly I saw the button :/

Crazy idea to show an animation and add an button :-P
[Defy General] jellydonut:
Ahhh.. The dumb thing says to turn it 'slowly' so I figured I had to be patient with the damn thing. Turns out that what's needed is to flick it around like a spastic for a second or two. Couldn't they SAY SO then instead of lying? :mad: <-edit..

And to the rest, while the animation confused me at first I had actually gotten past that stage when I made this thread. :p

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o this worked a couple of times earlier today - however, refuses to work now. nothing. i give up on this - I am now etching 'compass' away from the feature list of the phone. It might as well say 'utterly pointless, useless magnet'.

I did run into a few issues though, I am fairly certain that has nothing to do with your software though. It would go through to flash the Radio, but it stayed at 0% and gave the flashing error. Then when I rebooted it went in and Unlocked.
