It'll get better after you save your common words... :-)
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
S-OFF and Eng-Off will take only about 2 to 3 mins. and its practically safe, 99.9% safe to be exact, only .01% if you dont follow instruction.
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
Thanks for the detail explanation.
[Desire HD General] androidmarket2011:
i just want to ask do you prefer to buy in greenhills or in cellway at sm north?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
+1 this is an easy guide to S-OFF:

Let us know how it works out so we can all help :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Reserved... ;)
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Well, I asked HTC at SM north they said it's available at their service center. Junta here posted his S550 Leather case :)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
That's the same story they gave me when I bought a desire. The service center is closed on the weekends and no one answers their phone so its hard to get any confirmation.

Thinking of it, why would a service center carry accessories? The distributors should have them. Parts, sure, but accessories? It makes no sense.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Well that makes sense. The guy told me that all stores in SM North doesn't have any HTC accessories yet so I should visit their service center, a real hassle IMO. HTC really should have a real store here rather than being carried by Berlein. It just slows down the business and the customer satisfaction
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Agreed. That's one area where HTC totally failed. Berlein is just a horrible shop.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yet another layer of protection for our DHDs... especially for those gelcase users and commandos (could be a nice surprise for Otterbox users too)

http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_Desire_HD/

(These are reusable and easily readjusted... easy application. I've used these on a laptop and iPod Touch)
[Desire HD General] clarkdevlin:
where did you buy your otterbox commuter case? i had to order mine for my dhd from their website which is a real hassle. cause i also need one for my hd7.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
The Commuter I got from a fellow member, he just sold another one recently...
[Desire HD General] kuklux:
+1 i got also my otterbox commuter series from our fellow member...
[Desire HD General] Schiso:
Woa those gela skins is so much attractiveeee. I want one!! :)) But the shipping fee is 3 dollars but.. 20 businessdays?? no tracking. and the other one is 19 dollars. ghad, much expensive than the item im gonna buy. :| :| are you gonna order? can you order me too.. im gonna send the money to you..
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yeah, these are nice and very nice texture and feel to it... Can also be personalized :D (my friend made a keyboard skin to go on top of his mac so people would think that its missing a display... lol)

I'll let you guys know if I'm gonna order, they didn't have these in Amazon so I couldn't combine it with the order but I was actually planning to hunt for these in Fully Booked... I got the ones for my sister's laptop and my ipod Touch from the one in High Street, Taguig. I'll let you guys know once I find some in the metro area :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I bit the bullet and got the BK8 unlock license last night... pretty impressive, no FCs with skins and I highly recommend "Black Light Keyboard" skin. Not a bad way to spend 150 :)

(the license key is for both BK7 and 8 versions)
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
How do you pay for the apps?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I actually used a workaround... Not sure if it'll work for everyone.

Use Market Enabler to fake a US provider since market.android.com doesn't push apps and won't let you pay (would say that apps aren't compatible or could not be installed).

So after faking a T-Mobile provider, I go to the market app and find the apps I wanna pay for. Click buy, then proceed to add card.

Now there's another hump when adding a card, our country isn't listed so I just used Singapore for the country but still used my local address for billing. It goes through the checkout and apps will install. I also see my card being charged for it.

* You can restore your carrier settings soon after paying for an app or just leave faked. It won't be a problem, it just fakes the market that your phone is with a US carrier. Well, weather seems to be confused sometimes on first "fake" but no biggie, a refresh will get you the local weather...

** There's a 15 minute purchase cancellation/refund rule that we have to watch out for, so test the app as soon as its installed and you can cancel the purchase within 15 minutes before your card is charged.

*** I've tried all versions of UltimateJuice from the market and JuiceDefender doesn't recognize it. Cancel/Refund actually works for the first 15 minutes. I guess I'd have to reinstall JD sometime and try purchasing UJ once again.

Hope it works for everyone else :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Genius!

So glad its on its way... My friend just asked quickly over the phone, "do you want me to throw in a Breffo?" I was like, sure... (but in my head, wtf is a Breffo?) Here it is...

[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I found a video of the Defender! it's labelled as a Commuter but is definitely the Otterbox Defender Series. Checkout the drop test :D

yup, no FCs..and i admit at first i did not really believe that it was faster than my current IME but then i was wrong. :D

[Desire HD General] Schiso:
Nice nice :D I want for my ipod and laptop too, but im too poor to have them. haha. im just 16 and i dont have money. ill just ask my mom to buy me gelaskins if you find one. thanks! :D

please do search if there's a store in metro area who sells this amazing stuff :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
yup..very nice indeed..:)

I bet that's only a typo..that should be 4.3" diagonal..

not that much..most, if not all specs, make sense at this point in time..

come Monday, at the start of MWC 2011, and we have the answers to all our questions..i can't wait..:D
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
http://www.gsmarena.com/showpic.php3?sImg=newsimg/11/02/htc-phones-leak/gsmarena_001.gif

Well the 512MB of RAM doesn't look attractive; so as the Adreno 205 GPU. Our DHD certainly has 768MB of RAM and the same GPU...but the Chipset Qualcomm 8260 SnapDragon 1.2 GHz next generation dual-core processor surely is a beauty...i could cry..LOL

Also, the Samsung Galaxy S2 (if the leaked specs are true) has the same Adreno 205 GPU which is really unlikely to me. Samsung's proprietary PowerVR GPU is surely better than Adreno 205 though everyone's pretty excited on how Qualcomm is gonna catch up with their Adreno 220s pretty soon..;)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
It's a "PowerPoint" showcasing different manufacturers and they have the same format. That's already prof that its not an original document. As of now, its just a bunch of details hashed together.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
nobody mentioned that it was authentic/original.."leaked" may mean a million terms these days..all i was pointing out is that this "leaked" specs maybe the closest, most accurate info we have other than the official announcement which is most likely on Monday, by then, from each respective OEMs. i said "sensible" specs which means that the specs are just timely and not some tall tale / unbelievably amazing / yada yada specs that you see around. these techblog sites are the best at what they do..but then again, the bottom point is it's just a "leaked" info.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I understand your point but I'd describe these as rumors more than leaks. Some may say its semantics, but leaks would have some sense of proof while rumors would not require such.

To add to the discussion on that topic, I think of rather have the extra RAM over 1.2G dual core. So far, I have not seen any way to maximize that technology on a phone. I'm sure it will be relevant someday, but it may happen end of 2011. By then, another phone will be in the offing.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
An interesting question just came to mind.

If the rumors of a DHD 2 are true (I hope they change the name. Desire and HD are overused), who will be making the switch?

ill think about it if its in an aluminum unibody. I just love the build quality.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
given that we're at the start of the dual core era..i just thought i'll give it a few more months until i'll finally decide what to buy next. currently, i'm satisfied with our DHD's performance..and there ain't no app/game that it couldn't run smoothly. i have some paid HD games and some fancy apps but, overall, i really just use the phone to text and call..some browsing as well.

probably if the current android experience will evolve rapidly in such a short period of time and it calls for more chipset and gpu power combined then i might buy another unit sooner than what i think...
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
You may be right. In terms of specs, maybe whatever comes after 1.2ghz

will be worth the wait.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I'll give my DHD 2 years before replacing it. XdA has extended the HD2's life and is still a formidable gadget to this day. The same thing will happen to our more powerful DHDs :-)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Will do buddy... I was floored trying to remember my first handset at age 16. It was a Nokia 2110 :-P and I'm sure the DHD isn't your first. I imagine talking to my son through a hologram transmitter while driving a flying car 16 years from now... lol
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
Lols my first phone was a Motorola Ultra Classic hehe.

[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
We've come a looong ass way since then... lol

There were no cellphones when I was 16. I don't even remember of we had the internet. I don't think so.

excited to have one :)

Does the "HTC Locations" have an offline map for Manila, PH?.. This is a great treat, to avoid data charges via HSDPA.

It does. Just get on Locations, download the Philippines map and you're good to go.

hello guys! i just got my dhd last night after a long time of searching for a good deal.. i was impressed how the dhd looked on paper that made me decide on getting it over the other smartphones in the market... im a first time user of htc.. so, i hope this forum can help me make my htc experience a great one.. :D can anyone give me tips or the things i need to do first to maximize my dhd use?? :-D any help will be appreciated.. thanks!
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Welcome Agonize!

How one enjoys their DHD is truly up to the interests of the owner but ill let you know what worked for me.

1. Try everything. I remember when I first got a Desire and it was my first Android phone. You need to know what it can do so go around and check the Settings section. It will give you a good idea of how to customize it to your liking.

2. Charge the battery using recommended methods. Your battery comes partially charged and I recommend using it to do step 1, but afterwards charge it for 8 hours, unplug it and switch the phone off then charge it for an hour, then unplug and switch on till it boots up. Once that's done switch the phone off again and charge it till it indicates a full charge.

This.method did seem to improve my battery life.

3 look for apps. Customize your phone with apps already installed via widgets or download more from the market.

If you have any specific questions in mind, let us know.

[Desire HD General] agonize:
thanks junta_mpb! :D will do the battery procedure later!... :-) im also looking around the forum to figure out how to work with the dhd... anyway, i find the sound/volume quality low and poor? what do you think? or am i just missing on something...
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
Got my Dhd yesterday, my second charge but battery not so good.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
While the sound is, admittedly, not as loud as other phones I dont think its weak. I was just watching the A Team on it with my television on and I can hear everything fine. And, no, I was not using headsets.

Heh.

Back on topic, I have seen other complaints of people missing calls because of weak call volume but I find that very hard to believe. I have yet to miss one of my wifes calls.

Overall, the sound is a weak point of the phone but that does not equate into a flaw.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Try the battery tip mentioned earlier I'm the thread. Also, you will have to manage power consumption a bit. It's a pain that comes with a phone that allows you to do more than others.

Have fun!

Seeing that Nokia is making a bold move to admitting that symbian and meego aren't gonna bring back their former glory, I wouldn't be surprised if they soon partner with android... wp7 isn't the best choice for them either.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
OTA is update over the air direct to the phone, check settings, about phone, system software update. RUU is the official flashable OS, its a downloadable application that will replace your existing OS.

Hi i just bought anew htc desire hd

and i a new at this rooting flashing rom,,,'

is this safe??

are you using them??

how to do this?? the guides at the developer section is to broad.. i cannot follow O_O

can anyone kindly enough to guide me? or help me>?

thank you!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Try looking at one of the Archos tabs. There's a 7" that packs a 250GB HD and a USB port under 18k... Must still be on 2.2 but devs have ported Gingerbread to Dell Streak so it won't be impossible to upgrade :D

I'm thinking of getting the 7 incher...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Nope, just follow the path to check system software updates (be sure you're connected to wifi), if its not available then you'd need to flash. Options are not found in the Market but here in XDA, HTC Desider HD > Desire HD and Android Development >

Read up on RUUs and Flashing official/custom ROMs :D (the stickies are a good place to start)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Safe if you understand what you're doing... Try to read the stickies in General and Android Development. Then you'll discover what you want to do... Basically, you'll need root to install root apps, flash a custom ROM and pretty much do more things when the time comes that you're unsatisfied with stock...

I've learned that members are always willing to help members who are always willing to help themselves... ;)
[Desire HD General] lawrence27:
It's not perfectly safe to root, s-0ff and eng s-off your DHD.

But if you just follow the guides properly. There's only a very small chance of bricking your DHD, about .01% it will happen. LOL

here are the links to be followed, from eng s-off until flashing of roms.

flashing of roms is kinda easy so it's not going to be a problem.

Step 1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855403

Step 2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

Step 3: Install Rom manager from market and flash clockwork recovery or just flash recovery.

Step 4: Lastly, you can flash any rom of your choice, i recommend revolution HD by mike(the one im using) or Leedroid HD by leedroid.

Again, follow the guides properly. If you need to read the guides 10x, then it's better. And "FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK", My eyes are tired reading these phrase. LOL.

Have a safe flashing
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Honeycomb just sounds too nice to pass up on. :)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
True.

Just downgraded back to 1.32, S-OFF, Eng-OFF, SuperCID, Root, H-ENG, Flashed CWM 3.0.0.5, Flashed Modded CM7 just now. :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
whatever you do, read and understand before you apply the rooting process. the only difficult part is the first time..if you don't get to f*cked up your DHD on the first try then you're good to go.

basically it's just temp root > perma root > Radio S-Off > Eng S-Off > Install custom roms..that's all there is to it.

above all, stability and performance will always go to the STOCK ROM. well, unless you're going for UV/OC kernels, then rooting wouldn't be such a feat. so what i'm trying to say is decide whether or not you're really needing root.

and, YES, we've tried rooting and will always do rooting. LOL
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
True, the Galaxy 10 should hit the right spot for price and much coveted OS :-)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I agree and the best way to know what you need is to spend time with what you have first... you'll have your fair share of head scratching, sleepless nights and most of all the satisfaction of knowing and understanding how to make your phone perform how you want it to.

Stick to stock for now buddy, it'll serve you and your powerful toy a whole lotta good that way. Or maybe try rooting just for now. You wouldn't supercharge your very first car on the first week right?
