[Desire HD General] ladyhaly:
So I guess my DHD is indeed from Europe as I got it. Fortunately, I am not experiencing any of the problems other users are reporting with regards to the update. =)

lol, I should PM you. =D

Same here. Actually, my family seems to be happy with HTC. I'm surprised that none of us have an iPhone but my grand uncle and my godmother who is my mom's cousin has the Desire and another godmother who is my mom's aunt has the Aria. I was very surprised to discover that during our previous family reunion during Christmas. It seems like HTC is making a lot of people happy.

That and it saved a man's life literally with it's HTC Droid Incredible. Can't post link up as I discovered I need to have at least 8 posts.

Well, going on a massacre is one thing but killing one rogue app is another. And yes... So, in this sense, free memory has nothing to do with battery usage; CPU cycles do. This is an example of the differences between Android (which was based on a Linux kernel) and Windows as an OS. When it comes to Windows, the more free memory, the better things run. With Android (and perhaps Linux as well), performance is the same regardless of how much free memory there is generally.

Sorry. Can't post link yet. Have to have at least 8 posts so I can't post the link to the article explaining the whole thing.

Wow. Now imagine if the Desire HD had a battery like the EVO 4G--- that is, replaceable with an extended battery (3600 mAh). We would probably be able to get 3-4 days of the device with heavy usage.

Yeah, I do. I saw it somewhere here on XDA that that's because that's where the antenna is. It's kind of similar with iPhone's antennagate issue. However, it only happens for me if I use one whole had to grip that side and... it's somehow inconsistent. Either way, I've never dropped one single call with my DHD.

lol, I tried to earlier as well but it didn't happen. But then I intentionally used one hand (palm + fingers) and then it happened.

Yeah. Never lost any calls with mine. :)

I have told you numerous times that I was but it just wasn't worth it for me to wait. I had the money. I don't think anyone should be dictating me how else to spend it. It's just money. There are more important things than that--- at least with me.

Honestly, I'd like to inquire as to what your motive with all these statements? Because it seems to me that you just want to make me feel bad. To make me regret buying it as early as I did out of spite. And to what cause?

True. I was expecting it to be priced higher than the iPhone 4. And truth be told, I wasn't expecting shops to have it in stock. A lot of people here don't even know about HTC. During that time when I bought it, I was actually thinking of buying it from clove.uk... And probably getting it shipped to one of my grand uncles or having it shipped straight here in the Philippines. If Customs was going to add some taxes, then fine. Either way, I was up and ready to buy it.

And good for you. Getting what you want and attaining peace of mind and joy over it is worth a few thousand pesos (heck, even a lot) in my opinion. Because we're worth it.

I don't either. I went over to Symbianize and have an account there like... a week or two ago and I know there was a Samsung Galaxy Spica thread but no local android community. So this would be a good opportunity to create it. :)

YOU assume it is so. I for one wanted that device and nothing else---and was happy to pay for it.

And you're right, it's our money and we think we're worth it. :)

It's called HTC Sync. If you can't find it, you can download it from HTC's website. Or you could just plug your phone with the USB to microUSB cable to the computer and then select Disk Drive (Mount as disk drive) on the Connect to PC options.

Same. I suppose their claims are rather exaggerated.

Just like what thenocturnalnurse said, the update was only released for European Desire HDs and then was taken down by HTC because it apparently caused a lot of mishaps with other devices. I have it though, as I believe my Desire HD is from Spain, and installed it on my device on December 23, 2010. Fortunately, I'm not having any of the problems other users are experiencing. Cheers! :)

I was successful. But the last time I did it was 11/18/10, 9:04 PM. Right now when I try to Refresh location, it doesn't work. Also cannot Make Phone Ring and I guess the same could be said for Locking and Erasing the phone. However, all my Messages are present and so are my contacts on the People app.

There's nothing wrong with it. There just isn't any data/information on the Philippine Locations Map other than in Manila.

Just like what junta said. You're still using the same bandwidth so no problemo. No extra charges. Sometimes when I get out of the house for most of the day, I register in Globe's SUPERSURF promo and I connect my E72 to my DHD. So if your Globe SIM/account was on Globe's Unlimited Data Plan and is in your Desire HD, you will not be given any extra charges if you connect another device via HTC's WiFi Hotspot feature.

What he said.

The law of supply and demand... Plus distance. It's because way back during October-November, Desire HDs were only released for Europe and there was a worldwide shortage of Desire HDs. So, the manufacturer has managed to produce more supplies and has released the SEA versions of the DHD as well--- thereby eliminating the whole rise in prices (since there was low supply but high demand for the device) and the need for Asian residents and shops to order their units from Europe.

There's nothing wrong with it. It's the same for everybody. It's one of the uh... "perks" of living in a third world country that other countries warn their tourist population against travelling to. Other than that, HTC still hasn't expanded their whole marketing scope within this country. That's why very little people here know about HTC phones but almost everyone knows the N8 and the iPhone.
