So i bought my desire today.but its not launched here(india) officially.is it safe to update it to froyo? Also i compared the colours of my desire to a desire android build in hd2 and i find that my desire has a high contrast.for example the "peep" icon is dark green in the desire but not so dark in hd2. Is this fine or is something wrong?

i dont think htc has launched froyo in asia yet so the best way to update would be to root your desire and install a custom rom also the desire has a amoled screen, it displays alot more colours than a lcd screen that the hd has and has a much higher definition too, so theres nothing wrong its a good thing
Ok so i'll read the rooting guides and all.but right now the phone is not with me.so if the person tries to update the phone the normal way will it screw anything up?
So if i'm not comfortable with the contrast is there any app or anything which can help me to adjust it?

If you do get the ota (Over The Air) uprade, you will get the new hboot, at the moment people with the new hboot cant root until the devs find an exploit in the new hboot

Hey, another question...
Is there a way to get the Nexus One's animation for opening programs on the Desire?
Installing the Launcher2.apk unfortunately didn't do it. Maybe there's another version of it with the animations?
Or is there any other way to do it?

Not before root access has been released
And when/if root access is possible, how will it be done, then?

well i don't know for sure but probably just changing a file in the root file system
Thanks. I hope somebody can figure it out.
You'd have to flash a new bootscreen, not hard, needs root.
No, I don't mean the bootscreen. I mean the animation when opening apps from the home screen.
I read somewhere that its currently exclusive to the nexus one 2.1 but it will be as standard in froyo. Maybe we'll have to wait til froyo is out (unless you want to root)
It's available on the Motorola Droid as well.

Wow, didn't know that! If the droid has it, we should have it too!
We definitely should have it. It's soo nice, I miss it since I exchanged the Nexus for a Desire.
You are NOT talking about the bootscreen are you? You mean that when you open an app, it 'fades in' and 'fades out'? (like on the iPhone?)
From what I know, but then again may be removed from the Desire, you must go to options, screen options and somewhere in these options there is a 'animation' option.
Please see this vid and around 3:30, he shows how to turn on that 'animation'.
Now I do not know if this is what you are talking about, but even if it is not, could somebody please tell me if this option is also present on the Desire?

Yes, that option is present, but only activates the screen transitions inside of apps, but not the launch animation. On the Nexus and Droid, it activates ALL animations.
It seems HTC have taken those animations out. I really don't understand why, and I want them back.

NOEZ!
I can't believe this... slowly there are more and more things that make me be unsure about the Desire. First the battery life, second the bad sound volume and now I hear that the awesome 'launch' fade-in and out a la iPhone animation is not present.
Could somebody tell me if this can be changed after rooting the Desire? Which btw, is something like 'jailbreaking' your iPhone right? Is it hard to root a device running Android like the Desire?
Battery life is quite good, about the same as the HD2 I had before. I also have no complaints about the sound volume, don't know what people are talking about.
Only complaints I have are the missing animations and the limited internal storage (since it still can't be rooted).
I'm really happy with the device apart from that. It's so much nicer with Android, than the HD2 was.

Jailbreaking = Technically Illegal
Rooting = Enabling the root account on a linux system (aka Administrator).
It should be available in "Spare Parts" after rooting.

No, it is NOT illegal. It's merely a breach of the EULA; which has bugger all to do with legalities. The worst that can happen is that you invalidate your warranty by "jailbreaking". (I hate that term as well, it's merely CID and SIM unlocking, something we've being doing on XDA for years, but nooooo.... Apple users just HAVE to have their own word for it, as if they invented the whole concept...)
I'm hoping HTC enable it in an update. Any chance of that happening?
Now that it's rooted, does anyone know how we could get it?
I noticed in the video posted that even after the nexus one enabled all animations it didn't have the "zoom" animation from within the settings (like going from main settings list to the wireless or sound and display menu)
Is it possible to have the zoom animation everywhere, i am sure i has this before with other roms. It may have been called moto blur or just blur animations?

Hello,
I'm used to use BerryBuzz on my Blackberry, which it think is a nice piece of software... Is there any similar for our Desires? I've tried Missed Call but not working...
I wish I could have a specific color for missed calls, another for SMS or emails... Are the LEDs on Desires handling multi colors?
Theres a free utility that apparently does something like that http://downloadandroid.info/download/Blink.apk

Did you try that, or just copied? I'm pretty sure that this app is not working on Eclair...
Testing it right now... I'll keep you informed.. Thanks!
Off track, What Berry are u using? Mine having a Bold 9000 and have BerryBuzz too, but I am experiencing a problem, the LED blinks so fast for a missed call/text, and there is no option to set an interval time? I think it's a battery hogger. So, Do you have the same problem or you found some settings to fix it? I m talknig about version 3.0.59.
Thnx
I have yet to find anything either.. I'm looking to replace "PhoneAlarm" reminder functionality from Windows Mobile. Locale eh, mostly does the profile changes, with some stuff missing.. but right now if I miss a call, email (K9), etc, no reminders..

Hi, I got an old 8310, berrybuzz latest version... os 4.5.0. You can change the settings into options, berrybuzz.. once opened go on the berrybuzz settings, upper corner near the "?". You should find the settings your looking for there.
Well, returning to the LED notification, Blink.apk doesn't work... sorry but thank you for the try
I too would like something like BerryBuzz, really made me like my Curve 8900
Same situation here... so far nothing is working including Blink. It was the first app I tried.

Does the led even flash different colors? It might not be like the nexus trackball

It definitely goes different colours, but perhaps you need root for this to work.

wot colours does it do?
i only seen orange and green so far
i had this working for my G1 fine, had blue for when one person text me, green for another, red for another etc etc
think this might be a problem with the desire not the android 2.1 (could be wrong)
i have rooted my desire and it wont allow me to change the notification colour, will keep you updated if i find a solution
Neither did the nexus one till someone made an application for it

I think the Desire only has a bi colour LED - ie RED or Green. Orange would therefore be the only other colour available

But many of the applications that change the color of the LED do not also obey when you select the red color (which brings). Will not it be a problem of software?
It is very important for my that changes the color of the LED and if it is confirmed that the led is two-color I buy myself a nexus one and to sell the htc desire

This was the same issue for the Windows based HD2 - from my understanding the LED notificiations are "hardware driven", therefore no software will allow you to change the colour. To date thi shas not been acheived on the HD2, and as the desire hardware is very similar, i doubt it will be possible on the Desire.
Hi,
I recently bought a HTC Desire from Orange and wanted to ask about a free strobe application, which could 'dance' to music.
I basically want the LED flash to strobe in response to music speeds. I have TeslaLED (Which is amazing) and which has a strobe, but with manual speed controls.
I found this, http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/led-music-beat-strobe_fqez.html which could do it, but is unfortunately off the Market (According to a UK Desire on Orange)
Please help! (Also I like the new 'searches as you type thread name' thing!)
Thanks in advance,
Dylan
Try MarketAccess, the app should still be there

Use unrEVOked. It's a breeze
Hi all,
some weeks ago I finally bougth a HTC Desire SLCD and was quite happy with it. But out of nothing, the Desire was switching the desktops on it's own, like shown in this video i took:
That was strange and I could reproduce it. So I switched of wifi, so noone could be actively in the Desire and play me a joke. The error still happens!
After the first reboot, I got another feature: I can't switch to a different profile than "vibrate" as shown in this video:
So I decided to reboot again and now I'm blocked at a screen like this:
The selection is changing frequently, so I can't select any item. But even when I try, the power-switch isn't working.
I have no special ROM installed, but tested some. But as you can see in the videos I moved back to a ROM which was the default HTC ROM and was fine with it.
So my question is: do you see this as an hardware or software problem? Have you any suggestions I could try to figure out where the problem is located? Or should I just send it back?
Thanks for your help!
Ask in desire s section.
The videos show an HTC Desire; not a Desire S.

hi! everybody
i use htc 10 and i have a problem with it about touchscreen
i can t write relax i have to use backspace for every word
touchscreen too sensitive. i tried different apk-s but they didn't helped me
i closed 3 fingers jest, glov mode
i don't use screen saver
i did hard reset
my htc have tiama panel, android 6.0.1 version 1.80.401.1
if you think i have big fingers i was using 4.7 inch lg nexus 4 i could write with it.
i tried different htc 10 i think htc 10 have too much sensitive
so what can i do ? please help ...
similar problem here. it's not the keyboard, there are touch problems elsewhere. editing is often painful as the cursor will change places mid repeated backspacing, destroying good text.
edges of screen are sensitive to the hand.
hope we can get a resolution!

I have looked at all HTC phones this problem 10
As others have already said, your best bet is to contact HTC.
All the suppliers near you must have defective phones because mine is fine. Send it back to htc simple.
