*I am not a happy HTC Desire user*

UPDATE: 07/03/2011

so after trying almost every ROM and kernel for the Desire i have found that i still have issues with the phone. I can not use setcpu and, like my original desire, i have random reboots when using the GPS.

Setcpu

I can not install the app at all. As soon as its installed i have app crashes.

I am not trying to OC here. A few 100Mhz is not a great deal anyway and with most ROMs Quadrant scores around 1100-1250 at stock, what ever that means. I wanted to use setcpu to take the min clock down to 1xxMhz when the phone is not used to save battery.

GPS

Same as the 1st phone. It get very, very hot and randomly reboots. This can happen in as little as 3min or xxmin.

I have a brand new htc battery, came with the phone, and no gel/hard/cover.

Can i really be this unlucky :confused::mad::(

The ship with the following

Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

I have just discovered I have this GPS reboot problem... For the first time on the weekend I decided to use the Google Maps GPS navigation. I bought a nice windscreen dock and everything...

First time it worked for about 3 minutes and then rebooted. From that point on I would only get a maximum of 30 seconds GPS navigation and then a reboot... I've tried everything I could find online about the problem including a full wipe but the problem remains...

So freakin' annoying! I guess it's going back to HTC....
[Desire General] Wackey:
Same problem here.

when using GPS for 1-xx.min the phone reboot.

Have tried every romes, radio, wipe all, formatet sdcard..

tried to caught the problem in LogCat.

I just cant find the problem!

it makes me crazy.

I think it's probably a temperature problem.

If I remove the battery and let the phone down for a while, navagitionen will work for about 10-20 minutes. if I open the navigation with the same after the reboot it will only works for 1 or 2 minutes.
[Desire General] john014:
OP, you are either a complete idiot and don't know how to use your phone or you are very unlucky. I think it may be the first option. I know at least 20 people with desires who have NEVER had a problem. Use it what it's meant for and stop ****ing with it.

Blert.
[Desire General] Wackey:
Thanks for your awesome solution! You complete IDIOT! what a nice tone you choose to write in at this forum - really mature! start helping people instead of asuming the worst of them. This is NOT my first smartphone and I do in fact know how to use it. As a matter of fact I work with developing programs for phones and other microprocessing units, and have never heard of or experienced this problem before.

Instead of complaining why don't you start HELPING people!?
[Desire General] MySelf_v1:
Same poblem here dudes but i csj live with it. I have seen Desires that restarts themselves when surfing on internet or when calling.
[Epic 4G General] jaejaejae:
my epic will not receive any calls

i can make outgoing calls, and emails, text, etc seem to be coming in fine

but when someone tries to call, the phone rings twice then goes to vm

i have service

i also don't have the option to go into airplane mode from pressing the power button

the only option there now is "power off"

can anyone help?

thanks in advance
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
Try a factory reset or go to sprint and another epic. You can blaim eb13 for this one
[LG Optimus 2x] buckthelaw:
How much free memory does the Optimus 2x have for applications?? :)

I've read somewhere that it comes with 2GB free storage?
[LG Optimus 2x] mccune:
Do some reading before starting a new post.

Your answer is right HERE.

Hope this thread gets trashed soon to keep the forum clean...

I should have read ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
LOL his question is about app storage memory, not RAM. Though I'm sure he appreciates your friendly response. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
Just saw on another forum that there's 1.3gb free for apps.
[LG Optimus 2x] buckthelaw:
@mccune Like Kendoji said: my question is about APP STORAGE. :confused:

@Kendoji okay many thanks for the info!
[LG Optimus 2x] mccune:
@buckthelaw

Sorry 'bout that. Was a long night of forum reading. I owe you an apology. :o

@Kendoji

I have no problems to apologize when I have to. A lot of questions are asked frequently on XDA. So there are times people react a little harsh. Like I did. You see, we all learn every day ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
Good stuff, I think this calls for a group hug! :)
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
In comparing the iPad with the Xoom, no doubt the iPad's display looks nicer. I have Dell IPS and non-IPS monitors and the color gamut on the IPS looks nicer.

However, I don't think Motorola "cheaped" out on the display as I've been hearing in passing. I think what it came down to is this no parts manufacturer has developed a mobile IPS display at 1280x800 because if they did, you know Apple would've used it in their MacBook Pro's.

So, if you were VP of Moto's Product Development, would you have made the same decision?

UPDATE:

Here's a link to an image that you can use to test image quality across different device. Try to display at 100% as different scaling algorithms may degrade the image quality.
[Xoom General] nswenson:
ips for sure. Love the xoom, but the display is not the best. Even my Viewsonic G tablet does a better job displaying photos when viewing straight on. Maybe someone will figure out a way to tweak the xoom display for better contrast and color.
[Xoom General] codeman05:
For a device this small, I'll take the larger resolution, and quality wise, I'm perfectly happy with the Xoom display (particularly after turning off auto brightness).

Now if we're talking about a LCD for PC, I'll keep my IPS ;)
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
The stock photo viewer does suck. If the image is scaled at all, it looks a bit garbled.

Go to the market and download QuickPic. It's a MUCH better photo gallery app, and even large images taken with my DSLR look good scaled down.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
I'd have to agree. I'll take 1280x800 and slightly reduced image qualit over 1024x768
[Xoom General] roebeet:
When I get my Xoom, I plan to do a cbr/cbz comparison against my R10 (1024x768 IPS screen).
[Xoom General] tsekh501:
IPS is still LCD. IPS is just one of the better types of LCD panel, and hence your thread title is weird.

Why are some people saying that the LCD on Xoom is non-IPS? Has it been confirmed already? I can't find the model number of the Xoom LCD panel. iFixit doesn't list it, maybe I can email them and ask. But from all the review pictures and videos I've seen so far, the view angel of the Xoom LCD does seem very wide, on par with typical IPS panel. Color reproduction-wise, it can vary a lot among IPS panels depending on model. Without doubt, the one on the iPad is exceptional. But then, with the volume that Apple is shipping, they probably won't have much problem getting some custom made specification.

EDIT: Ok, I just Googled. iSuppli has the part list

http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/News/Pages/XOOMBOM-Totals-$359-92-IHS-iSuppli-Teardown-Reveals.aspx

The display model is AUOptronics B101EW04 V.0, and it doesn't mention the panel type (no, TFT is not a panel type). Googling this model number gives me nothing. iSuppli does mention that the IPS panel on the iPad is infact AFFS panel, a high quatlity and newer type of IPS panel (those who have modded their Thinkpad X200 are familiar with this type of panel).
[Xoom General] tsekh501:
Alright, answering my own question.

Did some Googling and it seems that AUO doesn't make any IPS panel. Cannot find B101EW04 on their website, but their website does list a B101EW05. Judging from the model number it may be similar to the B101EW04 that Xoom uses. Perhaps it's a newer model that replaces the B101EW04?

http://www.auo.com/?sn=149&lang=en-US&c=34&n=146

B101EW05 is a 10.1" 1280x800 VA panel. VA panels are high quality panels that are comparable to IPS. Dell WFP 2407, 2407-HC, and 2408 (and maybe more, I just know these models) all use VA panels and everyone knows that they look exceptional. The B101EW05 looks spectacular on spec sheet, and enters into production only in Q4 2010. Perhaps just a little bit too late to be employed on the Xoom?
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Someone in another thread that is a professional photographers said the xoom is more accurate on color than his ipad, for what it's worth.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Are you also keeping yours now??
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Don't confuse a bright and colorful display with accuracy. Accurate means the way it looks in real life. Look out the window, it does not look like Wonderland or Oz.

A photographer needs an accurate representation on a device of his work so that the final product is not misrepresented.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Well, yea, I think most XDA readers know that IPS is LCD, but I just wanted to keep the title short. ;)

I just added a link to a test image for those who want to test the quality of their different displays.
[Xoom General] Phylar:
I was doing a side by side comparison against a friends iPad and my Xoom when playing a movie. They both look really good, but the main difference is the iPad being 4:3 looks really awkward when playing widescreen movies. The good thing about a "fragmented" OS is apps had to detect the screen size to work correctly, and now we have all these widescreen tablets of whatever resolution people like, while iOS is locked into 4:3 forever basically, or risk huge backwards compatibility problems as I'm sure 95% of iPad apps have 1024x768 hard coded in them.
[Xoom General] tsekh501:
Resolution wouldn't be a problem for Apple. Since iOS devices are made only by Apple, Apple has complete control over what resolution their devices use. And given the volume that Apple ships (they sold 15 million of iPads in the first 9 month for god sake...), they probably can have a screen made to their specification (e.g. the super high pixel density screen of the iPhone 4).
[Xoom General] ashura3:
It's the viewing angles that make IPS screens so much better.

Lay both an iPad and a Xoom flat side by side in portrait mode and look at them as you're laying down on a bed. You'll definitely notice a difference. The blues at the top of the Xoom screen of the tron-like Honeycomb wallpaper turn purple. The iPad colors largely look the same no matter what angle you're looking at it.
[Xoom General] ianlti:
As a photographer, although i love android os but i still have to go with Ipad screen, the color look more accurate to me.

i went to Bestbuy and try out the xoom, the screen is pretty bad but better than my g-tablet.

I really hope that people can port honeycomb to ipad 2.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
I tested both as well at Best Buy. I wouldn't say that it's "really bad." It's not as good as IPS, but it's not bad by any means.

Before I got my Dell Ultrasharp U2410 monitors, I was using plain Dell LCD monitors. I now have a quad monitor setup, 2 normal Dells + 2 IPS Dells. The U2410's have the edge on color gamut, but other than that, quality is very close.

If Samsung was smart, they'd make a 1280x800 SAMOLED display and keep it to themselves or else charge a huge profit margin to their competitors.

Sometimes, I wonder how these product VP's get their jobs? It just seems like all their decisions are against common sense.
[Xoom General] tsekh501:
Unfortunately Super AMOLED isn't available this big yet. The Galaxy Tab 7" has a pretty nice screen, and early hands on preview of the Galaxy Tab 10.1" say that the screen on it is just as nice. It's not surprising though, since Samsung is probably using their own panels and their panels are always nice. If you look take a look here:

http://www.samsung.com/global/business/lcdpanel/product/note.html

Samsung makes 3 sizes of tablet screens, 7", 10.1", and 9.7", which coincides with the almost confirmed rumor that they will reveal another 9.7" Honeycomb tablet at CTIA. If you want a 10.1" Honeycomb tablet with nice screen, wait for the Samsung 10.1" or 9.7" Galaxy Tab. (But the Galaxy Tab 10.1" has no USB port and SD card slot :mad:.... yes, Samsung somehow think it's a good idea to use a proprietary 30-pin connector)
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
our IT nerd from work lent me his iPad for direct comparison and I have to admit that the Xoom does not even get close to the viewing angles of the iPad. Due to the 16:10 form factor the Xoom also appears smaller. Still, I'm having so much fun with my Xoom that if you don't torture yourself with putting the iPad right next to it it works well!
[Xoom General] AndroidZ28:
You mean 8.9 not 9.7.
[Xoom General] mrkkk:
now that asus transformer is in market with ips screen

would you guys prefer that over ipad and moto xoom?
[Xoom General] Dogmann:
Hi all,

Seriously as codeman05 said just turn off auto brightness and its like you have a totally different screen mine is always set to full brightness and i have no complaints although i don't spend time trying to view it from weird angles.

i want to use titanium backup but i dont understand how it works. i want to flash a new ROM onto my phone and i have to wipe data but i want to use titanium backup to recover all my data after the ROM is installed...how does this work????
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm2011:
If you have the donate version, you can go to settings and create a zip that is flashable in recovery. After you create the zip hit the menu button, choose batch, and choose backup all user apps+data. Flash your Rom, after you let the Ron boot up once, reboot and flash the titanium backup zip. This will reinstall titanium. Go to batch and choose restore missing apps+data and your done. You might as well go ahead and get the donate version because if you don't have it you have to click install for every app. With donate version, it just installs them without you having to click everytime. Make sure usb debugging is enabled or it won't work correctly.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroiDAddicT14:
okk thanks a lot dude. im gonna get the donate version, appreciate it
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrez2kx:
Titanium Backup backs up your apps and data to the SD card. Wiping data through clockwork wipes the flash memory built into the phone, but leaves the SD card completely intact. Thus, you can wipe data, flash your ROM, redownload Titanium from the market, hit restore, and you are good to go.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] <tk421>:
the donate version sucks..

unless you like wasting your night clicking install a hundred times lol

Hi mate

Cheers

Wifi is off anyway. 3G, well, I need this ON and battery life was not bad on other Desire ROMS with 3G. I will give it a good test over the weekend and report back.

Thanks mate!
[Desire Android Development] esk02k:
If you flashed with usb or ac connection attached then you probably

reset the battery stats. you can do the steps in this post

to reset them.

hi tamirda im trying to come up with a nice theme but not having

many ideas.

keep up the good work anyway!
[Desire Android Development] smx11:
You're wlecome. I'm going to give a more complete feedback in 2-3 days. I can say anything about battery life and others specifications yet. The boot animation is very nice, and I like the theme (custom notifications icons).

Next comment with a full feedback in a few days.
[Desire Android Development] tamirda:
Hi mate,

i have some ideas, do you have MSN?

Give me it in pm.

thank you

Thx!

i'll give it a try tomorrow!!!
[Desire Android Development] sheik_yerbouti:
For some reason, the phone gets stuck on the white HTC logo after booting. I've wiped data\factory, cache and dalvik cache. Upgraded the radio to the one mentioned in the post, but it still isn't booting properly.

CWM Recovery, ext4 768mb. Any idea what the problem might be?
[Desire Android Development] tamirda:
Which version did you try?

Try A2SD+ with this setting:

Fat 32

EXT 4 1GB

Wipe Data/factory, cache,davlik, sd-ext

Flash it.

Reboot
[Desire Android Development] sheik_yerbouti:
Yes, I got the A2SD+ version. Everything is exactly as you said except my ext4 partition, which is 768mb. SHould that cause a problem in booting itself?

I should tell you, when I reboot from recovery, I get the vibration and see the HTC logo, then the screen goes off for a second, vibrates and shows the logo again, does this once more, and then gets stuck there.
[Desire Android Development] tamirda:
I dont know its happend only to you..
[Desire Android Development] sheik_yerbouti:
I don't know why, but I'm having lots of problems with DHD ROMs. FroYo and Sense Roms work just fine. :(
[Desire Android Development] tamirda:
Try to change SD.

Tommorow new version! V1.5!

Keep updating :D
[Desire Android Development] sheik_yerbouti:
I could do that. But maybe I should reformat the SD card first. I don't want to waste a 16Gb card.
[Desire Android Development] tamirda:
New version has been released. V1.5!!!

[Desire Android Development] Flashmaniac:
@tamira robo has been the first who ported it. Now everybody uses his rom as a "base" don't get along with this idiots... just report them... everybody puts something special in his rom, and I am sure you did , too :) instead of being angry with these spammer kids report them and they gone to be kicked or at least deleted:) don't worry
[Desire Android Development] meexoo:
@tamirda

Love your rom mate! imo it's slightly better than rcmix hd and it has everything I need (arabic support, hd sense port, power control in notification, and restart in the power menu).

I have 2 issues though:

1. I'd rather have the D2WE or D2EXT versions, but your warning to not use the restart in the power menu worries me, any workaround for that?

2. Like the rcmix hd rom, there's still a bit of a lag that clearly appears after installing or uninstalling apps. anyone else have this problem?

Any way thanks a lot man for your support and keep up the good work.
