Absolutely not. I had to go through so much trouble just to get some free memory while Samsung and others are delivering 16 Gb of internal memory. I think HTC is cheap and is missing the point. Of course I have rooted and ext2 but still...
[Desire General] yaqub1:
If you look at the HTC Desire specs and the Desire S specs there's not much which is different. Just some memory added and a front facing camera.

We know the Desire S comes with Gingerbread but the normal Desire will be getting it soon too.

Desire has been around for around 1 Year and till today it is one of the top phones.Me,personally wouldn't go for the Desire S but it's personal choice at the end of the day.

I've heard good things about the Galaxy S 2,being the thinnest smartphone with a Dual Core Processor .

:)
[Desire General] ooie:
There needs to be something revolutionary introduced on the phone market for me to switch from my Desire ;)
[Desire General] DanteChris:
No way am I getting Desire S. I don't think HTC intended to entice the Desire users with Desire S. I have a funny feeling HTC has an upgrade-worthy phone but decided not to show it at the convention.
[Desire General] Rusty!:
That would be the rumoured 'Pyramid' then.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I think the same - Desire S -doesn't appear to be marketed in any way shape or form as a upgrade for Desire owners - more of a replacement for the Desire on the main market for new users etc. - e.g.

the desire family of old:

Desire

the desire family of now:

Desire, Desire HD, Desire Z

the desire family of tomorrow:

Desire S, Desire HD, Desire Z, (and Desire)
[Desire General] bedobela:
Exactly the same opinion here. IF I will update it will be dual or quad core definitely. The Desire S is aesthetically different a bit but I like hardware buttons so the changes aren't positive for me...
[Desire General] dgattenb:
I'll wait for the scorpion .. if we ever get it ... my contract runs out in a year .. then i buy the phone ... and go sim free .. the S is not different enough for me .
[Desire General] imopen:
With custom firmware (Starbust) my Desire has not limit. :)

I'll buy a new smarthphone when I'll get a very hardware upgrade ;)
[Desire General] anko184:
Thank you all guys for your answers, they really helped me a lot...

Before i explain why i don't like the DHD let me tell you this.

The only reason that made me to buy the DHD was the bigger internal memory and nothing else.

So the thing that i don't like are:

1. The screen, as I also had the amoled edition and i really can't stand the lcd,

2. The DHD development is kinda dead, no new things to test and not so many developers have switched to it.

3. Another thing that bothers me is that the display is really big and sometimes it's not very handy.

I really believe that 4.0" are the best screen size for everyone and i sure like more the 3.7" than the 4.3".

I can tell you of more little thing that i don't like but the above are the most annoying for me.

I hope that this will help you and if you want my opinion, just look for something else, the DHD is not worthing the extra money...
[Desire General] midnightflash:
Just like the Desire S I think. For sure I will not give a cent for the S.
[Desire General] calyco:
No dual core so no go. That and the fact I just bought my desire about a month ago :p Seriously, not really much of an upgrade and even though I'm late I feel I made the right decision on original desire (love the hardware and mods). Only other phone I would consider now is prob atrix.
[Desire General] jorgen2009:
They missed the boat by not implementing a dual core. A second camera and DLNA streaming is nice though...
[Desire General] helloaiy:
Haha:p,i love my desire
[Desire General] noobandroid:
with all the Desire S porting and repartitioning on a Desire , there goes the reason to get one
[Desire General] tibey:
Since i own an amoled desire i really don't know why i should buy the desire s with URLs slcd screen...seems more like a downgrade to me!
[Desire General] :
Nope, since i still have a year and 3 months left before i can pick a new one. Wouldnt have gotten it anyway, its too close to the Desire in my opinion.
[Desire General] 3f1f37:
Agreed, if I didn't have a desire I'd go for the rebooted S.
[Desire General] Mgzkun:
Desire is getting Sense'd GB in Q2, so why should I bother with Desire S ?
[Desire General] hugo303:
Sticking with the original Desire. best phone i ever had.

only thing i'll switch to is dual-core, 4" , htc phone.
[Desire General] nuggahund:
No.

But cause Desire is in my opinion still the best functioning android phone. Not the fastest but the best functioning!
[Desire General] chris100575:
As others have said, there's nothing out there at the moment that I believe to be better than my Desire. Until something significant happens in terms of hardware I'm sticking with what I've got. :cool:
[Desire General] m1ch:
+1

I wouldn't go from amoled to lcd either. My next one will have a dual core as well, but I think I could live with my Desire for another year :)
[Desire General] Shuaib_Ahsan:
doesnt S have a slower processor ?
[Desire General] dehaani:
HTC can keep their piece of crap phones! :mad:
[Desire General] dragonithe:
No, wont get the new S.

I think I won't get a new phone this year. My beloved desire still does everything I want from it and more.

And for now, I haven't really seen a new phone that made me WOW.

Dual core, although it is nice, I have a feeling it is still not trully optemized for android, and the variation is low (Nvidea and samsung..).

Getting back on the S,

It can be compared to the SeX10 and the Se Arc. Looks nice, is faster and has better software, but aint a upgrade worth to those who own a SeX10 or desire.
[Desire General] Fraize1:
I am happy with my current Desire because of the great community. I don't buy the new Desire S because the changes are too small, it don't have a Dual-Core CPU and I think the Desire is much more pretty.
[Desire General] stewart30:
I love my desire, but am always looking for the next upgrade. However I really like the look of the incredible s.

No due for upgrade till September so hopefully some good HTC phones out then.
[Desire General] HRQPK:
yh, just not a large enough leap forward....
[Desire General] Ghisy:
I still like my Desire after almost a year!

The Incredible S is tempting but I'm afraid I might miss all the Desire XDA goodness mods like unlimited browser tabs, themes (it took me a while to perfect my own), custom ROMs, etc...

But the Desire S is definitely out of the question, it's WAY too similar to our original Desire.
[Vibrant Accessories] rengokushogun:
I am wondering if anyone knows where to buy authentic samsung accessories. I have gotten 3 batteries off ebay and they did not live up o expectations and measured only 1000 - 1200 mAh.

To be safe this time, I'd like to purchase the official accessory with the weird dock / stand thing. Does anyone know which other online store might have it for cheap? I have checked on Amazon, but the only stores that list it are 3rd party ones such as accessory one, and they have pretty bad reviews.
[Vibrant Accessories] rengokushogun:
FYI, pics of the battery I got off ebay and why they suck. First the "Official" G7 batteries all had the same serial (go figure). Then 2 of them were wrapped around another black wrapper. 2 of them had a black plastic spacer to fill in space where the battery should. 1 even have cardboard cutouts to fill in more space.
[Vibrant Accessories] jrharvey:
Oh man, what a ripoff. I have 2 non official batteries and Im actually more impressed with those than my real battery. Holds a much longer charge. Sorry about your bad luck.
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
Go to samsung.com and buy the battery that comes with external charger. $50 is so worth it, i might buy that instead of 3000mah which is not guaranteed safe to our phones.
[Vibrant Accessories] reggiedls:
Y isnt it safe?
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
I didn't said that, i said "not guaranteed safe". So it may have a chance that it may damage our phone because of overheating or something else. But so far no one has experienced it, but still i won't take the chance.

i got this

it works perfectly and i never use a cable to charge my phone...i just switch out batteries...the batteries seem to hold an equal charge to the OEM one...and they are stylish :-P
[Vibrant Accessories] rengokushogun:
Just wondering about the OEM batteries listed. I was asking if any particular reseller is reputable? Since they aren't sold directly by Amazon.

Are the Laza batteries good? The charger looks a lot like the Chinese ebay ones, so I was a bit suspicious.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beagan:
soooo, its been about 5 months since the G2 came out, closely followed the be Desire Z :)

I have had my Z for 2 months now and the hinge is grand flops a bit but it doesn't bother me.

Im just wondering how your phone is now since you have gotten, it has it become unusable, or has you first expectations about the hinge just been over exaggerated like i think it has been ;)

HOW HAS YOURS BEEN?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moSess:
Mine has been fine. I feel that it has been over exaggerated a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IVI4V3R1CK:
I was always confused by the hinge issue. I've never had a real problem with it, but I guess I can see where people come from. I'll have some problems if I'm laying in bed and the phone is above my face, then yeah, gravity brings it down. But I prefer to have a looser hinge than the one with the G1 where it snaps into place. The top shell is broken because of that snap.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beagan:
yeah when i hold the phone upside down texting it doesn't flop anyway cus when i grip it my hand kinda stop it from falling naturally anyway so thts no problem for me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santaclaws:
My hinge seems about the same from when I first purchased my G2. It is loose, no doubt about that however it really has not affected the way I use the phone.

I think T-Mobile and HTC could have handled customer complaints in a better way but other then that its not a big deal for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepaddedroom:
It turned out rather anticlimactic. Had the phone for months and the hinge is fine. Opens easily and generally stays closed until I want it open.

The hinges hold closed more tightly when I remove my case. The case holds on by gripping inside the seam and keeps it partly open. Without the case, I have to remember to lift to open.
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
I used the update.zip from the Samsung site to update to EB13, everything went off just fine except my Epic now takes an average of 2 seconds to wake from sleep after pressing the power button, sometimes going up to 4 or 5. Not the worst thing in the world, but pretty annoying.

I narrowed it down to my non-usage of the lock screen. I typically run without using a lock screen at all (disabled via SwitchPro Widget). If I turn the lock screen back ON, my Epic wakes from sleep either instantly or within 1/2 a second. With the lock screen disabled (no pattern lock either), it's super slow to wake.

Anyone have any ideas on what I could try?
[Epic 4G General] Slovak65:
Mine works just fine, but I'm using the lock screen, try uninstalling that widget and see if it corrects the problem when you use the lock screen.
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
Small update to this. I had an idea to move all the apps that I had moved to the SD card back to the phone to see if that helped. It does. With the lock screen on, my Epic comes back from sleep instantly every time. With lock screen off it varies between 1/2 and 1 second.

The apps I moved to SD were ones I hardly used.. I don't know why that would have an effect on the wake time?
[Epic 4G General] toxicsociety:
Mine seems a bit slow too. But it's not the 4 or 5 seconds you described. It seems like it's about one second, when it used to be anywhere between instantly and half a second.

It's kind of annoying because the delay is just barely too long to where I start second guessing myself on whether or not I pushed the button in all the way or not.
[Epic 4G General] xTmDarren:
Go to your display setting and reset your horizantal calibration accelerometer... that fixed my phone waking up issue...
[Epic 4G General] toxicsociety:
Unfortunately, I had already tried recalibrating. I do, however, have no lock on and widget locker running. Do any of you use either of these?
[Epic 4G General] ultra78721:
I use the same program as you do and I have the exact same problem:( So your not alone.
[Epic 4G General] hamsoplo:
Mine is slow to wake also, about a second. When its plugged into the charger its instant, weird.
[Epic 4G General] toxicsociety:
I'm glad we aren't alone though. Hopefully if this is a big enough issue, people will look into it. And also, they've pulled the EB13 update from Sprint and Samsung's website.

It's causing problems with reading media from the SD card and also has data issues. So hopefully in the new one, they will fix this problem too?
[Epic 4G General] toxicsociety:
Looks like it's No Lock, from what I can tell. If you disable it, it comes on instantly. If it's enabled, it takes it a moment to wake up.

[Windows Mobile] sharkie405:
Did you check in your phone canvas package? If it's not visible in there it may be in one of the .dlls like phcan.dll or phcanrc.dll (I can't remember their exact names), but I'm pretty sure it's an image that you can see if you open up your phone canvas package. If it's in a .dll, you can use a program like Rezhack to open and edit .dlls.
[Windows Mobile] ADB100:
Anything like this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10697671#post10697671

If this is the same issue I have then I believe its the .dlls phcanhtc.dll & phcanrc.dll that need modifying, however I don't know how to nor have I had any help in how....

The images are 'Dialer_Contact_down.png' & 'Dialer_Contact_up.png' and should be in the phonecanvas package.

[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
help for help ;)

cheers dudes, ill see what i can find from the info you mentioned.

and yeah, its that little f*cka, ive wasted pure time lookin for that!

to edit dll's you need 'ResHacker' (resource hacker)

quick tutorial:

drag and drop the dll OR exe you want to edit onto the ResHacker.exe and it will open. everything inside the dll OR exe will be shown and you can edit it, eg icons :D

select the icon and right click

now replace resourse with your custom icon

*the number on the folder is the icon number - not the number on the icon

to make your own icons i suggest you use 'IcoFX'

install IcoFx and open it.

got to TOOLS/BATCH PROSESS

add images to that you want as icons

*dont use transparent images, it will turn out crap

select 48x48 and XP Colours

save

now go to TOOLS/RESOURCE EDITOR

click the 'add icon' and add the 'new' icons

now save but put .dll at the end of what ever you name it as

this creates a dll with your custom icons

cba explaining the rest but if ya realy wana know - pm

[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
update

found it :D:D:D

to save you editing them:

(no dll's need modifying for this btw just thought id mention it, ive searched the dlls mentioned and none contain icons)

(infact i searched all the dlls in the canvas folder :P)

BIG thanks!
[Windows Mobile] ADB100:
OK, so what does your dialer look like now? Is there no dialpad icon at all now?

I understand how reshacker works, however I don't think its Icons that need editing in the .dll's - its other stuff?

I have lived with the annoying cut-off for a while now but would be keen to see it fixed....
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:

yeah, there is basicly no image now, my images are fully transparent..

which is what i wanted, ill upload a screenshot later, AFK = using blackstone at the moment and cant upload a screenshot but i will when im back home, ill show you what its like on my rom.

Now, please please forgive me if I'm wrong (if I am, please flag my post for removal)...

But...if I'm not mistaken, in the past (most recently di18), doing a data wipe in cwm wiped the /system in addition to /data and /cache...

But cwm is now only wiping data and cache, no system.

That could have some serious implications on having a clean wipe.

I don't think I'm wrong on this, anyone else notice? I hate to ask ppl to test this but I'm sure there's plenty of flash happy people out there lol.
