HTC Desire HD :: Recommendation For New Device?
Oct 28, 2010
So after reading many threads on here I am keen to know if you guys would still recommend the DHD. I am currently waiting for t mobile's stock to arrive before they swap my SGS for a DHD. I've played with one for a few mins happened to be a HTC rep in a local phone shop showing it to the staff and I asked for ago which I did but didn't get much time on it. took a few pics (very impressive camera) scrolled around. Seemed sooth even if it has far to many stock apps IMO by the looks of things. Am I still doing the right thing will all the experience you guys now have of it.

I know that there are loads around but without testing each one it is difficult and those I have tried don;t do what I want.Essentially I need to :
a. define as source folder on the SD card which contains the mp3 files and it should always default to that.
b. Play those files in order.
c. Remember if I stop half way through so that I can, later, continue from that point.
d. Have the usual controls ; Play, stop , next , last, and to be able to drag the time to advance within a single playback.

Looking for some recommendations on some apps please.
1. I'm looking for a contacts app that manages my address book a bit better. I've gotten a bit sick of the default ones on my nexus one and dell streak.
2. RSS reader. Newsrob seems to be misbehaving for me at the moment. All evening I read my feeds and mark stuff read. but when I come back to look at my google reader on a pc the next day everythings marked unread. Is there a better one out there?

I'm looking for a simple alarm. Say I want the alarm to sound of next Thursday at 8:00 (with a text note re what the alarm is for would be really nice) or every June 7th, and a regular 24 hour alarm. On my PC I use Chameleon Clock which I rely on for scheduling. I'd love to find something like that if it's out there.

The HTC People app always seems pretty laggy and can take up to a whole minute just to call someone, which it shouldn't since i could do that in 10-15 seconds on even a non-smart phone.So I would like some suggestions - what would people suggest I use for fast contacts?

I really like the built-in calendar app on my new HTC Desire. But there's 3 things that it can't do, and I really need them:
1. I need to be able to set up how the calendar calculates week numbers. I live in Demark and in Europe we don't calculate week numbers the sane way as they do in the US.
2. I need to be able to set up repeated appointments that repeat every second week, or every third day.
3. I really want to be able to set the default reminder time to 'Do NOT remind me'. The built-in calendar app lets me set the reminder value to 'No remind' when I create a new event, but it won't let me set the default value to 'No remind'.So basically I need a calendar app that works precisely like the built-in one, apart from the 3 things mentioned above

I keep my contacts on the phone since my SIM space has run out. I tried to use Google contact sync but that brings in all the people I have emailed and is not specific to just phone numbers. I am currently on 1.5 (am using PCCW/Hong Kong) and I see via HTC's website that they have announced a 2.1 OTA upgrade. Before I upgrade, I would appreciate if someone could provide a way for me to backup/restore my contacts should they get wiped out in the upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1

I have much experience with Java, and am quickly getting to grips with Android. But I have very little experience with graphics... most of my work has been logical, back end web development. The last time I did any proper screen drawing was in the good old days of Applets (years ago).
I can see that Android has a very complex graphical interface, but I don't know where to start. I've looked at some of the sample apps that come with the SDK, but it's slow progress.
For example, I'm trying to learn by developing a simple rolling ball. Currently I'm using onDraw(Canvas canvas), a paint object, and path.addCircle() to draw a circle, which I then update frequently. However the result is jerky, and slow - I want to see it flying around the screen! Clearly this isn't the right way to go about it.
So two questions I suppose: 1) What graphics tools would you recommend to implement my example? 2) Where can I learn more about the graphics capabilities of android?

Can anyone recommend a good footy app, aimed specifically at the English premier league? I already have FotMob 4.0 but the interface is a little awkward in that there is not enough room to view the RSS feed, the menu part of the screen takes up too much real estate and there doesn't appear to be any way to get rid of it.

we're looking for high quality developer tools which have been ported & tested for Android. the first is a code correctness tool that will scan our code looking for non-syntactical errors (e.g. thread synch errors, uninitialized vars...). basically a lint- like tool for Android. the second tool we want is a coding style "enforcer" that will fix, or at least report, code segments that do not adher to our stdrd coding styles (e.g. bracing policy, function header commenting etc) the third one is, well, a placeholder for whichever tool you people have found to be of high value in developing your own Android apps...

When I connect my Desire with a USB cable, the PC says "Device not recognised", and the phone keeps searching for a while untill it says it cannot find HTC Sync. No contact is possible, also not as diskdrive. What I have tried to solve this; Downloaded latest version of HTC Sync, gave it a fresh install (firewall and internet connection turned off), rebooted PC, rebooted phone, but to no avail. Also I checked the USB ports in Device manager, and at one port (the one with the Desire connected), it says "unknown device". It looks like no drivers are installed.
I also tried copying the drivers manually to the win32 directory, but this did not help. All this I repeated several times, browsed the web for hours and hours, made a handfull of calls to the friendly people at HTC, but neither of these solved the issue. To complicate matters; the first couple of days Syncing just worked fine, the two weeks after that not anymore. On some occasions, after a complete new installation-session, the device connected once, but not anymore after that. Since the calendar has become the center pillar of my existence, I am on the verge of becoming hugely frustrated. Hoping the truth is out there, and somebody of you guys knows about it..

While on holiday my HTC Desire starting reporting that it was running out of space. It could never figure exactly what was taking up the space unfortunately, but I assume one of my apps was using a stupid amount of data.
Anyway on the last day of my holiday the phone refused to boot at all. It shows the HTC screen, then the carriers custom splash screen (T-Mobile), then reboots and goes back to the HTC screen in an endless loop.
I booted the device into the recovery console and received the following errors:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Error in DATA:data/recovery/log
(No Space left on device)
I'm aware that I could do a factory reset, but I don't really want to lose all of my apps, scenes and other data if I can possibly help it.
I found one site where a guy claimed to have been able to fix the problem by connecting to the device using adb and then deleting some files, but I can't get adb to recognise the phone. 'adb devices' always returns nothing.
So, can anyone tell me how to get my phone (which won't boot into anything other than fastboot and recovery) to connect to adb so I can wipe some files? Will the phone have to be rooted to do this? (It isn't).
Do I have any other options other than a factory reset?

I'm writing this for the HTC Desire, but it should work for all other models and most likely all other Android phones. The process was identical for my old Sony Ericsson C905 and my girlfriends SE W580i.
The problem is the phone is looking for the album art within the track itself. So, we need to embed it, because having a .jpg file in the folder will not do. The phone does not look for the album art there, so it's not going to find it!
1. First you need to download a freeware program called mp3tag. Install it and run the program.
You may donate to mp3tag if you like the software. I've been using it for quite some time and I gave them $20. Not much, but I hope it helped them
2. Secondly, drag and drop all the music that does not have album art stored within the file. Highlight a number of tracks, best to do this an album at a time. Now you can either right click in the empty album art box like the image below and find the album art on your computer.

I heard that you can un root your desire(rooted) and it can get the updates,is this true?
If so i thought this: Root my desire->get all the apps to sdcard and not on memory-> unroot->profit!
Is this correct, mods?

Has anyone else noticed that the Desire seems to power off VERY VERY slowly, or is it just me? Literally, and with no exaggeration, I hit the power button on the phone to power it down at 10:38am, and as of 10:56am the thing is STILL trying to power off.
I don't turn the phone off very often, but every now and then it's worth it, but it's taking far too long and I keep having to pull the battery. Anyone got any thoughts?
I'm assuming theres an app that is causing all the bother, but I can't think what. Anyone know of any apps that have this sort of problem? If noone knows, I'm going to have to factory-reset the phone, and I really don't want to have to set it all up again.
