Typical of HTC, they release a public name and non-public name, just like "Touch Pro2" .. and "Rhodium" they are the same
same goes for the desire i guess "Desire" and "Bravo" ... same

Inseparable!
I love the colour and style of the graphite HTC Desire. Under the light it shines and appears to be in different colours.
Mine came from Mobile Phones Direct, ordered last Wednesday and got it Thursday and have been inseparable from it ever since.... Is that sad??

what does it say on the box?
would need to check when in the office tomrrow, but is it really that simple?
not all the time, but in my case it says on the box 3.7-inch AMOLED touch sensitive screen, you could also try the "black screen test" copy a black wallpaper to your device, look at the image in full screen in a dark room, if you see any light bleading from the screen, chances are its slcd
If it's brand new, and on Orange I'm pretty sure it'll be SLCD like mine is.
No mention on the box at all, its the Orange box so its just generic Orange stuff

I it does not say Amoled then is SLCD, check if it says 3.7 inch touchsense or something like that then is SLCD.
But as said before if on the specs there is no AMOLED then is SLCD

It's not that simple. It could be AMOLED as well.

If you download the Android SDK you can use adb shell to enter the following command:
dmesg | grep blank
If it says Samsung OLED then its AMOLED. Or Sony TFT is SLCD.

[Q] HTC Sense

Does anybody know if this will be available for the desire, on htc website seems is only for the new Desire HD and Desire Z.
Does anybody know?
Yeah this will be good to know.
Probably not unless HTC update Sense on the actual Desire...it needs the app to connect to the site

I actually found on another forum that it will be available via an update. This forum is in spanish and I do not know if I am able or not to link it, if I am and you want let me know and will send you the link, then you can translate it.
EDIT
Here is the translation:
Like a mystery novel we are slowly solving mysteries concerning the updating of the new version the HtcSense that come with the terminals announced days ago, HD and Desire Desire Z.
If we saw a few hours ago and from HTC Italy said that not all terminals of the brand would receive the upgrade to the new version of the HTC interface but without specifying which itself would get and what not, now we know thanks to Twitter channel Htc Spain that the terminals will not get this improvement are those who do not officially updated Android 2.2.

[Q] HTC Desire from China can't figure how to root and install new rom.

Good Day,
I am a US Teacher teaching abroad in Rome and a noob to the android scene. I bought the HTC Desire on eBay from a seller in China who advertised a rooted and unbranded HTC Desire. When I received the phone it came with an Italian operating system and Windows Mobile 6.
The problem is i do not speak Italian yet and would like to root and install another rom. Being new to this i have looked up countless forum articles on this but i can't even get the phone to boot in hboot turning on phone and holding down back button does nothing nor does holding down the - volume button and power when starting phone and i can't find the usb debegging option either. I have included as much about the phone as i could find and would greatly appreciate any help with this. Trust me i have spent 2 weeks trying to find a fix on my own.
HTC DESIRE INFO:
Model No. V1.0.1-B7

IMEI 850850690163042
ROM C03.021.13 ITA

thank you so much for your time.
You have a clone, Desire is Android not WM
A little search bought up this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619643&page=96
Where their phones have similar information may be worth a post on there.
Well you did not buy a desire but a clone. Don't think that it will ever see the light of android, nor any useful input on how to root it.

Yes, however couldn't the current rom (C03.021.13 ITA) run Windows Mobile?
Also, Thanks for the link.
How do you know it is a clone?
Your info screen should display something along the lines of this:
BRAVO PVT1 SHP 2-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

Your handset is a clone and therefore unlikely to be rooted and able to install the usual Android OS. If you weren't aware it was a clone, I'd suggest you contact Paypal ASAP for a refund.
PM me a copy of the Ebay link and I'll have a look for you to see if it is clearly listed as a clone. You can't post the link on the forum as eBay links are not allowed.
Or another workaround...NEVER EVER buy stuff from china/chinese ppl sellin stuff on eBay.
Just buy it from ppl selling in US/Canada/Britain or buy it from a retailer near you.
Or even better, skip buying electronics on eBay completely because more often than not those products have no warranty, unless the seller is from EU and has regulations which oblige them to deliver the receipt along with it. And this goes twice for China.

Any breaking news here? How does the epilogue look like?

[Q] Can I rebrand the Desire, after unbranding?

Hello,
I want to root my Phone and unbrand it. At the moment I have a T-Mobile DE Branding with Android 2.2 (Froyo) Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.
My question is, can I flash the t-mobile rom again in case of warranty?
And where can I download this specific rom file?
I dont find it in the sticky thread in the Development section or can I flash a older version?
I hope you understand what I mean.
Greetings, Strece
I think you should be ok if you just flash one of the T-Mo Uk RUUs that can be found in the sticky.
The only T-Mobile UK RUU is for AMOLED-screen Desires. If you've just got you phone it'll be SCLD so it won't work
The mobile phone was bought on the 03.07.10 and then exchanged because of a defect over again on the 20.07.10 for a new one.
How can I check which display type I have?
Greetings, Strece

Look at the box ?

I will look on the box when I finish working ^^, but I got a new one without a new box, so the specifications from the box is for the old phone, not for the new one.

As far as I know, PVT-4 devices don't say on the box whether they are slcd or amoled. So, it's hit or miss.
AFAIK all PVT4 Desires are SLCD as the PVT4 variant came after the switch to SLCD
Actually, I am quite sure that pvt4's are both slcd and amoled. I bought a desire 2 months ago with a friend of mine, both are pvt4. Mine is slcd and his is amoled. Both just said TFT touchscreens on the box.

How have you found out which display the mobile phone has?
On my box stand AMOLED, but I got a new one without box, so the box infos are not really correct.
EDIT: I have a PVT3 SHIP S-ON Desire

Once you have both phones side by side you can see the difference immediately. Especially on the whites. Amoled has a blueish tint, and slcd has yellowish. Slcd is much sharper though.
Unfortunately though, you cannot tell one screen from the other unless you have both of them in front of you.
Ok the firendly HTC Support Hotline has told me the manufactury date 26.03.2010 with AMOLED Displays.
So with an AMOLED Display I can flash an older TMO Rom for rebranding?
You can tell by looking at the blacks. The AMOLED will have a MUCH darker black..will blend right to the edge. Or you can put a single drop of water on the screen where there is a dark colour next to a lighter area. If it's AMOLED, you should see small pink sub-pixel "teeth". You have to look closely though.

Thx, when I put a drop of water on the screen, I see this pink sub-pixels at the edge of the drop.
So I think I must have an AMOLED Screen, so with this I have no problem with flashing old T-Mobile Roms?

[Q] Does HTC stop producing 32GB HTC One X (S720e)

Hi guys,
I just got a new HTC One X for my brother and found some interesting things. First, the phone only has 16GB on board memory (indicated on the box). Second, the phone has SN starting with SH29BW (new production batch). Third, the phone came with 4.0.4 update preinstalled.
I also notice that the build is 100% perfect, no hardware issue (Wifi works perfectly) inside out. I contacted the seller and he said HTC no longer produces 32GB version of the S720e.
I found this one is interesting and wanna share with every one

i mean, it is strange that htc doesn't produce 32Gb anymore...
The box is also quite different when compared to mine at least
Mine came with a capsule like recycled box.. I thought it was some kind of environmentally-good campaign of Htc

The one you have is from the package with a headset. Seller take it out and sell the phone separately.
The other type of box is a white square one. This is the stand-alone version of the phone (without the headset).
My box is black and smaller than the 2nd one. And the box indicates HTC India
PS: I am in US, Minnesota and got the phone from a Yankee seller

It's true, there is a new batch of HOX, I got mine yesterday and asked around turns out they only make 16GB of the new model.
The white... is... beautiful compared to the black!
