HTC Desire HD
- Thread starter BRUN
- Start date
My mate has the HD, its a little large imo. Still, it seemed a great phone and I love the browser on it.
I ordered a Desire Z today, should get it tomorrow.
yea the large screen is both good because its so big, but bad because its so big its quite a large phone, at least its thin
i had a bit of a dilemma between the HD and the Z because i wasnt sure id get along with touch screen, i do like the key pad on the Z but i think the better camera and bigger screen swung me towards the HD
how you all finding the battery life, ive heard its not the greatest

i was originally going to get one of these but in the end i went for a Samsung Galaxy S. The desire is exactly the same phone really but bigger. Glad i went with the Samsung in the end. Its shaped like the Iphone 3GS.

Not the same at all.
DHD has a 4.3" SLCD screen, 768MB RAM, faster Qualcomm CPU, 8MP camera, dual Xenon flash. Oh and it's not made by Fisher Price. Both are good phones mind, just Samsung are lame with fixing issues and releasing updates.
BRUN, battery is as you'd expect, shocking to begin with, but quickly imoroves. You'll manage at least a day (waking up > sleep), had mine up to 1.5 days by being frugal, but I'm a very heavy user. I'd recommend the phone, it's like an iPhone, but faster

it has the same operating system so its the same phone to me. not going to fuss over the DHD being 0.1secs faster to load up a screen and having a fancy flash.
DHD is fooking massive, couldnt live with that day to day.

first problems with mine already
after a few mins of the phone being 'locked' if i then go to use it, the top button restarts the phone as its turned itself off
googling about the problem it seems im not the first, people have been having this issue with these phones since October last year
rang phones4u who got me to do a factory reset see if that sorts it out

i used the HTC software to back up mine
its a bit gutting that my phone has developed the random reset problem as its been a really really good phone, hopefully the new one wont have the same problem, tonight its calling me a liar though, its not turned itself off for hours now lol

guess yours hasnt suffered this problem, basically when i came to use it last night it had usually turned itself off, and has been doing this for most of today, even turned itself off mid phone call a few times today
come home from work though and its been fine, but ive got this phone for 2 years i cant risk it being a duff one

I've got the HTC HD2 ..its fantastic when it works but the amount of problems with it makes me sick! Had 2 new phones in just over a year and I've had the second one back today from being "repaired" within 20 minutes the same problems. Its going back again tomorrow vodafone wont budge on giving me a different handset either. Although I believe I'm entitled to a different handset if it gets repaired 3 times in 3 months. As long as the majority of the bugs are fixed then the HTC phones are fantastic.

News to me, not seen any such issues on the forums - most of the issues I see are:
"why doesn't my battery last a week"
"SMS notifications nor disappearing"
The second issue is a result of an update 1.72 that HTC pushed and since withdrawn. That said my phone has rebooted itself on occasion, but only since the 1.72 update. Aside from that the phone is tip-top.

grrrrrrr
with the first phone, i bought a cheap case off ebay which came with a screen protector, on it went, im pretty handy at doing screen protectors
sadly the phone went faulty and had to go back, just got my second phone, tried a screen protector, wouldnt fit properly and got dust stuck to it (im OCD they have to be perfect)
so i thought sod it, ill put my proper screen protector on, an EXIM SPUC one which cost £6 each, managed to get that dusty aswell, they are washable though but god knows how your supposed to dry it without getting anything on it, tried another 2 cheap ones, managed get one on with no dust but the corner wont stick down, cos the screen is so big any slight bit that is out at one end means it overlaps the edge at the other end of the phone, you need to be degree perfect putting them on
just ordered 2 genuine HTC ones to see if they are cut better than the cheap Ebay ones which are not that good of a fit

I rooted mine 2 weeks after I got it. I'm now using LeeDroid's Sense because I actually like Sense. The flashed ROM now runs much more smoothly and seemingly more efficiently too as I get 2-2.5 days of moderate use out of it. Prior to rooting, and after the battery had cycled a few times - I was lucky to see 12 hours before getting a 15% warning.
