Just watched this video about the screen responsiveness on the Desire vs the Samsung Galaxy S. These are the two phones I'm considering, so I just wanted people's opinions on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVlsRCMltDg&feature=player_embedded

YouTube -?S vs HTC Desire 3D?, Galaxy S
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am thinking about buying this and just wanted to know from someone who has used this if the screen is very responsive. I know if may not be like the iPhone or the Hero which used "capacitive" screens, but is it responsive enough that you barely have to push down on the screen to select items? Also, would you recommend this over an unlocked HTC Magic?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSome people over a PPCGeeks are encountering some of the same screen responsiveness issues that Incredible users were seeing (non-responsive touch screen when phone is on non-conductive surfaces). I have experienced this myself when my phone is in the car dock and when it is laying on plastic or fabric. On my phone, it seems to only be on the top half of the screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to change my phone soon and want an android phone, after a bit of research it seems that the best ones are the samsung galaxy s and the HTC Desire. But there are contradicting reviews, some say one is better, others say the other is better.
Ive also heard about some glitches in the galaxy s about lag, 3g and gps, any idea if those are real and if so can they be fixed?
What do the real hardcore android uses choose? I'm getting a new phone and I can't decide between these two beasts!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am due for an upgrade but I am not sure if I should get the HTC Desire or wait for the Samsung Galaxy S? So basically here are the pro's and con's: Galaxy pro's: 4 inch Super AMOLED screen is superior to the Desires Camera is superior, can record HD video More attractive (IMO), even though its close 1500mah battery (longer battery life than Desire's 1400mah) No flash player (how good is the Desires flash player anyway?)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been adding, and uninstalling, I've been noticing some installed apps that I don't seem to be able to add to my screens, or use.
I was wondering what these were.
They are: -
Rosie Utility
Teeter
and
Street View (Okay I KNOW what this one is, but how do I add it to Google Earth/Maps)
Also I've noticed that on the pattern lock screen. There is a message that says, "This phone belongs to". How do I personalise this with my name?
So if the Desire Hd has the same screen resolution as the desire then the screen on the Desire Hd will look worse? And then would be a downgrade?

View 20 Replies View RelatedAfter the screen goes off after 1min (or whatever you have it configured to) is the only way to get it back on to press the power button at the top of the phone? I find it a little awkward - can't I just press the button on the bottom front of the phone?

View 13 Replies View RelatedHow do I find out if my Desire screen is AMOLED or SLCD, as this seems to be important for rooting?There is nothing that makes sense on the box sticker, but then it IS an Orange phone.If I power up so I can see the HBoot info, it also says "Touch Panel Synt 0101". Does this mean anything?It's HBoot 0.83, and dated June 10 2010.
View 19 Replies View RelatedYesterday I updated my HTC Desire to 1.21 ....And today I noticed that when i have the screen with more white than any other color (like the notification screen for example) the screen flickers, and it does this with little horizontal lines...
I also realized 2 things:
1. it flickers when the automatic brightness is on and I am inside (so the brightness was set to under 25%)
2. It flickers with battery fully charged once the voltage got under 4.08v, it stopped..
Has anyone seen this on the desire after the update or before? Is this normal? Is my phone faulty?
Is there any way to prevent the screen from sleeping while downloading stuff or playing games?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to disable the screen that shows all the 7 screens after tapping the home screen? If not disable get rid of it all together.
Or maybe an app to do so?
Ii haven't made any big changes to my Desire and all was working well. suddenly a couple of days ago i noticed that things slowed down significantly.
exmples: when drawing the unlock screen, there is a big lag till the home screen comes up huge lag in opening programmes or menus
so, the only app i recently installed was the BA (british airways) android app. could this have affected the whole phone?
what steps can i take to check what might be wrong?looking at the SPARE PARTS app, i can see that CPU usage shows a huge bar for "init".i don't know if this is a normal process? anyone got info on this? might have nothing to do with my phone lagging of course.
I have the screen timeout set to 1 min which works fine until I use the phone. When using the phone the screen times out (and locks) in about 5 seconds. This is a real pain when using voicemail etc and you need to interact with the keypad.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAt certain angles under strong lighting (basically when light is shining onto, but not reflected back off the screen) I can see a line that looks like it might be the edge of a circuit board behind my screen (when the display is off). Initially I thought it was a scratch, but on closer inspection, it's too thick a line, and much too precise and engineered looking to be one.
It's sorta this shape and runs across behind the screen, about 2/3 of the way up:
Has anyone else noticed this? Tis rather odd.
Is there a way to do this? I'd rather have the big icons than the tiny desire ones, but not a samsung phone. Any ideas or help anyone?
