You shouldn't need to do battery calibration that often. It's more like a once in awhile thing when you notice that your battery isn't charging up correctly.

they look the same (even down to the shutter button) they have the same features (except not as robust? as the nokias)

they're announced at the same time yada yada... i mean if you cant see that they're obvious competitors and were designed similarly i dont know what else to do other than smack those phones on ur head and say "Hello????"


:P

i didnt say the nokias were the better phones; as there's the question of the OS (which i feel android may be more polished) and the question of the appearance could go to htc; but in terms of the alike features nokia edges out

Guys over at XDA have already ported the Desire HD rom onto the Desire. Man that was fast. Everything working except the camera.
Check out booting in 3sec with fastboot:

Btw. Desire HD: doesn't look anthing like the N8:

damn....that bootup is fast!

[Preemo]

Dammnnnn that bootup is ridiculous! Damn, I really love the Sense UI.

[TOS'd]

Too bad the Desire HD doesnt have those physical buttons on the bottom like the Desire. Just my personal preference.

wtf.. how come at 0:02, the clock flips all of a sudden from 19:54 to 20:56??

[c3m]

^ because the actual time is 20:56. The last time the user accessed the phone was 19:54.
The widget is just updating the time.

Anyone have swype? I found a version online but its expired already, have heard and read a lot about it but never tried it until now and pretty bumed out about this.

!

this guy is saying that the desire hd fast boot time is caused becuase the phone is in a sleep mode, not really turned off.
he rebooted the phone and it took like 30 seconds to bootup.

if there was a NAM version of hte HD2, i would be all over that

[!MiKrofT]

Telstra HTC HD2. T9193. Rare but available on ebay. Theres also a 1700mhz for those on Wind.

Is that supposed to happen? Seems like a bug.

[SkinnyPupp]

No the clock refreshes only when it's on the screen. The animation is new for the Desire.

Fuck. Is anyone running leedroid 2.1A? I installed it just now and its now looping in the boot screen.
Edit: Tried recovery and it loaded up once but then hung on a blank black screen, after that I was never able to get back into recovery/ clockworks mod or w.e its called. Then I tried a full memory wipe from the menu you get from holding down the lower volume button and subsequently my phone is now stuck on a boot up animation that says android.

[!MiKrofT]

I'm running Leedroid 2.1a. No problems at all. All I did was flash overtop the existing ROM in clockwork recovery and rebooted. Maybe your ext3 partition is corrupted if you're using the apps2d+ version. Try swapping out or formatting the sd card. Strange that clockwork recovery isn't working anymore though.

my friend has that phone, its pretty sick.. rather have the iphone 4 tho or samsung galaxy s

HTC Desire Z looks really nice..

But then I read this, does that mean it won't work here? Or like the 3G won't work on Rogers network?

Network4

Europe:

* HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
* GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Asia Pacific:

* HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
* GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

^ correct Euro and Asia version won't work on the 3G network in NA

[TOS'd]

^ sighzzz i wonder if they'll have a NA version. cause i really want the Z.

[!MiKrofT]

You can if you're with Wind mobile. T-Mobile G2 is the NA variant.

[TOS'd]

^ Wow this totally sucks. I really wanted to get this phone too, but im not on wind, and don't plan on switching any time soon... fml.. back to looking for a new phone..

Anyone know if they will release the Desire Z for at&t/rogers?

[c3m]

^ Desire Z should be coming to Canada.

Rumours from HTC rep are saying there is a qwerty keyboard android going to Bell and Bestbuy Internal computer shows cases for Desire Z

So it's most likely coming but don't know who is getting it yet
