Geeessss I've just had a 8 week argument with vodafone with b1tch slapping letters about my HTC Desire dropping calls... the recipients phone rings and cuts off.. then the Desire bleeps.. thats it... sent it back with a snotty letter saying the hardware was faulty which they wouldn’t replace..
Bought my own Desire SIM free.... put my own sim (different SIM) in it.. same problem...
The Desire is a FLAWED phone... sorry! its a piece of junk!
EBAY... this phone is a turd compared to my HD! Gess I have had enough of HTC!
This cant just be me!!!
Bye bye then

Not had this problem myself. But I used to be with vodafone when I had a Diamond and I had the same problem. Not had it with o2 or orange though.

Vodafone and TalkMobile... guess its the same network,,, Geess this phone is driving me mad!
Just tied it agian! same thing...... even my mates that I call are asking why I keep hanging up!
In just over 3 months with my Desire on T-Mobile, not once have I had a dropped call. Even though I have a pretty consistant 2 bar signal in my house, I'd say that is pretty good.

Cant you just ask your operator to send you a new sim card?? Maybe your simcard is faulty or you havnt inserted it properly!
Have been using my desire for 2 month and no problem at all with call drops.
Maybe just something wrong with u dude
P.S BYE!

Appreciate the construtive reply... but tried this.. moved from Vodafone to Talkmobile in the UK... sorta the same company...ish, same thing try and call phone just bleeps... we have a thing here with mates ringing your phone and hanging up.. wanting a call back.. sorta like being a tight ass.... I'm fast getting that reputation! by no means of my own!
Different hardware.. same problem.
Actually had mine drop a call 20 minutes into it tonight, noticed that facebook had sync'd at roughly the same time so guess that for some reason the phone prioritised the data connection over the call?

You know there is something called warranty right??
I have a lot of problems calling out. I'll dial and my Desire will wait a few seconds before bleeping and aborting.
I also have a lot of problems with sending text messages.
I live near the top of a hill and always have 4 bars!
I'm with Vodafone.

Thank you! this is exactly what I have! I have a heap of signal! I can walk out into the field next to my house and its exactly the same!.... I put the SIM out of interest in a 9 year old Sharp GX30 which hardly holds a charge... not ONE bleep of a dropped call! same sim!
I was with Vodafone but now talkmobile (technically same people) but its strange that my 9 year old GX that I only charged up a few nights back has no problem makin the same call...
Sounds like a Vodafone problem to me.

I never had a problem with my old Nokia before upgrading to the Desire.
I was hoping the last OTA update would fix the problem - as it fixed the re-connecting to the network problem, but nope.
I was wondering if was caused by a busy network? It's like trying to call someone at midnight on New Year's Eve! I'm not sure how to test this theory.

Na, can't be i'm on Virgin UK, and i get exactly the same.
But not that often thankfully,
Sometimes when i call out, i get "beep" dead, Re-call.....
And i constantly have the sms not sent problem, somethimes even with 2 bars.
I have a feeling it more to do with the radio, I know for a fact i have one of those original HTC Desire's, Also have the dust under the screen problem....
But with all its faults, Geeba cannot say its second rate turd, its still an excellent phone, hes just had a bad personal experiance with it.
The phone fills all my needs and more and Yea with most devices their are a few niliging problems but their to be expected, as well all know HTC like to release without FULLY testing as they know the user will call and complain if its not working
But i did see a thread the other day where some guy siad he flashed the latest radio which seemed to elevate all these exact problems (apart from the dust under the screen
Anyway Geeba chin up, just try flashing a radio and see how you get on, I'm personally waiting for official Froyo as its bound to have a radio in it
Hello.
I have some issues with my three day old mobile which I already changed, because my previews Desire which I bought two weeks ago had dead pixel (and this 2nd one has also a green bright pixel... but I don't bother to change it one more time because of this small error - I have to live with it - and it is a little frustrating having brand new but broken hardware).
Now my real issue... from time to time the screens are moving itself and I haven't control anymore. I don't know how to explain it.. but imagine you are dragging your home-screens continuous and in small distances really fast... it flickers... mmmh.
Is my touch screen broken or is it a software problem or.. or.. I really don't know.
I turned the device several times off but it does not really help, when I reboot the problem occurs sometimes again. And if so, I can hardly unlock the screen, because the response is so bad. Then I send it to sleep... try again, sleep, try again... sleep.. forget about it and later it is working again.
It is happening quite often.. 3-4 times this morning and in the afternoon I turned the device off completely. Now I turned it on again, and the problem occured two more times but now it's back to normal again. So ... haha... this is weird, probably I'm not using my HTC Desire right?
Since the problem comes sporadic I don't know how I should reproduce it and present a probably working device as broken to the customer service.
Any ideas? What could be a problem?
And do you have pixel errors on your Desire? I had several devices in the past (mobiles, laptop display, desktop display and so on) but never ever any pixel errors. I didn't even saw any on other devices as well. Now I had them on two HTC's in a row ...
Well,it had happened to my device two times when,after training,I tried to use it with sweaty hands.Probably sweat stayed on the screen causing false touches because the screen is so responsive.Try to reproduce it that way.If it's not that,then most probably you'll have to change to a new one again.And as for the screen problem,however small it may be you are entitled to ask for a new one as it is a factory problem and is inexcusable for a high-end 500 euro phone.
hello again..
I have still my "broken" Desire. Probably I will change it in the next days.
I made a short (****ty) video of frustration today, because it ended up not being able to response a call... (turn off the sound of the youtube-clips )
Then I shortly decided to buy a cheap ZTE Blade, but it turned out, that this device will be even more broken than my HTC Desire, which you see here:
this can't be random... three devices, and all were broken.
simply impressive.
all htc devices I've ever had have been perfect including a desire imo you should return it.
I've had bad luck with other tech before sure its annoying but all companies have dodgy units that make it through qc because they don't test every one just a random sample from each batch
What desire is it a world wide model or is it a branded one with telco software? Imo get the ruu and re flash it could be software rule that out first

Wow, you have some bad luck! Broken any mirrors recently?
Definitely looks like a hardware fault, but the Desire in your second video looks fine. Is that the broken unit?

It's not so easy to hear, but there is a ticking sound coming from the phone instead of it vibrating. Used PleasureDroid app on Pulse 1 setting to make sure it was trying to vibrate. The phone basically makes that ticking noise instead of vibrating, it does that on boot or when clicking the buttons at the bottom.
Video was recorded with another Desire HD, the source file is not laggy but youtube seems to have made it laggy :/
Anyway the phone was fine before, it's my friends DHD he's had it for a few months with no problems, it's a HT0BLAX. It hasn't been dropped or anything.
HTC say they will replace it but they haven't heard of this as being a common fault.
My 2 week desire hd borked out on me.
It no longer vibrates. Tired that pulsedroid and nothing what so ever. Think mines must be faulty. Will need to send back for replacement.
Should of bought a nexus s instead.
my last desire made a sound like a v8 motor....it was so annoying...
i bring it back to the telekom shop and get a new one... now it vibrate normaly

Have this problem a few months ago.
Only way to repair: Call HTC or go to the phone shop where you bought your phone (or a shop of your provider ).
They can send your phone to HTC back, and they repair
i had the same problem... a soft ticking sound during the first week i purchaced it. during the second week i got no sound and no vibration at all any more.
i had it replaced.
my desire HD also vibrates like a pneumatic drill...
...my girlfriend loves it
(sorry for the bad joke, i'll get my coat)

My Desire HD sometimes makes strange clicks when vibrating(.
You really are just unlucky unfortunately. Send back to HTC and they will issue you with a replacement.

Me too! And it's very annoying. Any workaround other than disabling haptic feedback? It's so irksome I'm ready to disassemble my phone if necessary to fix it
i change the part of vibrate and it doesn't work.. any advice to fix it??
Has anyone ever heard of a phone basically going crazy? Ive been on mexperia for probably close to a year now and loved it. Never had a single issue with it. This last week my phone started acting really funny and becoming really un responsive. In a way it has had a mind of its own.. For example, i open the phone app and it starts scrolling through contacts chosing them at random and dialing in some cases. Sometimes if i try to manually dial a number it will just start dialing random numbers on its own. Same goes for messaging and just about all other apps. My phone just does what it wants to and i cant stop it. My home and back buttons stop working and my sreens scroll on their own.
Today i decided to switch roms to mexdroid atomic and its doing the same thing. I did a nandroid backup, I wiped data/reset, wiped dalvik and battery stats like im supposedd to and its still the same. It took me 20 mins to get through the setup because i couldnt type in my gmail account name with out it typing a bunch of random letters.. So, i guess its not the rom and must be my device.
Side note.. I take very good care of my phone and it has never seen a drop of water so its not physical damage.
Also, i notcied that when i lock the phone...wait a few seconds... and then unlock it, it will function normally for the next 10-15 seconds. It gets annoying because it takes me a few minutes to write a text or make a phone call. I have to type a few words, lock it, unlock it, type a few more words etc..
Sorry this is kinda long but im just hoping someone has experienced something like this or may have heard of this happening before and can help.
Yea i have the same problem still suffering from it i think its the digitizar that needs to b replaced.

I hear ya bud! Just got off the phone with tmobile a few hours ago and I'm getting a mytouch 4g slide tomorrow!
My phone started acting real weird about 5 days ago. When charging at first, it would say it was charging, then when unplugged drop any and all charge crazy fast. Then there were times when it said it was charging, and it would sit all night on the charger and be 65 percent in the morning. Then there are times it doesn't even want to charge at all, or you have to hold it or place it just the right way to get it to charge. Tried my wifes battary from her g2 and the same thing was going on. Put my battary in her phone and it worked in her phone like it was new! I think its something with the connector on the inside, but this is my second g2, the first had screen issues.
Tmobile offered me another g2 for $5, or an Mytouch 4g Slide for the same. Hate to part ways with the phone but it's time to try something new.

I guess im going to have to send it in for another one. I just hope tmo doesnt freak because its rooted. My phone is spazzing so much i doth think i will be able to get it back to stock..
This is my second to send it. The first one was rooted and s-off. Don't worry, won't be a problem. As long as physically the phone is in good condition and no water void.

[after trying the *#*#3424#*#* vibrator test, it appeared it was an hardware issue, my carrier got me a new phone. thanx for all the replies, I've notifie HTC of this issue, they seems not knowing about it]
Do you have any power saving options selected?

10 Days after HTC received the phone at repair centre its finally been repaired and is now in the "Device Packing" stage....... must have alot to repair as last time i sent a phone in (HTC One X) i had it sent, repaired and returned to me in 5 days
Hi
i also just bought an HTC M9, huge fan of HTC.
Anyways, i had the same problem where the vibration stopped working at times. If i hit the phone on one of the sides, it worked for a while, and while i was diagnosing, i could hear that something was loose inside, so i decided to get all the gear needed (did not wanna bother with sending it in and spend 14 days without a phone, its 2016 FFS ), and open the phone, easy enough.
Inside i could see a piece of loosened solder metal, and after i removed this its been working fine ever since.
So my guess is that this piece of solder metal is a common weakness of this phone and would at times get stuck between motor.
So if your motor is not working, try *#*#3424#*#*, run vibration test and listen for small clicking noises, if thats there, then im certain its the same fault as i had in my phone.
Hello, for those who have the problem of vibration that no longer works, before sending it in for service try the following steps (I so I solved the problem!):
Remove the microSD slot and blow hard inside.
Magically my M9 has started to vibrate forever ....
Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience. I too had the exact same problem. Few taps on the right corner and vibration was back, but always stopped working again.
I tried the "blow hard" method and didnt work.
Took my M9 to my local tech-hardware guru and after opening it we found the problem. Seems that the motor is defective, its like "really tight" in its interior. For the amount of posts on this thread could be a faulty batch of motors that HTC installed on some devices.
What he did was desoldier the 2 cables that bo to the motherboard, raplced with another motor he had on stock. Its not the original one, but one that fitted perfectly. Solder it again and vuala! Worked perfectly.
Only thing i noticed after the quick fix was the motor he installed does not have the same "power" or "feeling" as the original, seems a bit a TINY BIT less powerfull, but works perfecly.
So if you have this problem, just take it to your local tech saavy guy or if you have warranty sent it to HTC, but the tech guy fix will be 100 times faster. he fixed mine in 10 minutes.
Regards!

Got M9 and same problem occured, glad to found this thread. Smack on my knee, so it get bump not so hard and it's working again. Gonna try with blowing SD tray next
