About using my desire after a year I'm planing to change it.
Some of the reasons,
Low internal storage
Mismultitocuh screen
Lower process power than new phones.
You! Desire User! Which one you ll buy?
You can write your own models...
My choice is SGS2

Never had problems with my desire I would keep it if I could but Im just a tech freak and i like the new stuff so far my fav android phone when I will be able to upgrade is sgs2 though I am not sure about the size, ill check it out better when it will be more accessible

HTC Sensation/SGS2 - depends on the hands-on test, when I'm tested them both.
I'm little angry with touchscreen of my desire and htc.
And as I search for some touchscreen documents and i saw that Samsung using best Touchscreen hardware. (ATMEL)
And also SAMOLED+ pulling me.
Sensation has lower internal memory that makes me angry.

And also worst camera and screen and probably a battery life

After rooting my desire I have had little issues with storage but am noticing processor speed starting to not handle some apps and games, I do like more of a stock Android look so I might go with an Atrix with Launcher Pro UI...but before my new phone it will be a Motorola Xoom!!!!

My answer is none of those lol..i'm just not impressed enough by the new dual-core processors, i guess i'll wait for some 2ghz(+) one before i drop my Desire
Something that will have an android 2.4 already. Im going to wait till google i/o next month. We might see some monster phones before the year ends that runs on 2.4.
I will not buy a SGS2 cause i might wait another year just for me to get an upgrade knowing how much crap they put on touchwiz. It will take them forever just to port 2.4 on on sgs2. The same for sensation.
No matter what, I am waiting for 2012 for a new phone for a couple of reasons.
1) I want a brilliant dual core (1.5GHz)
2) My contract doesn't run out till Dec this year anyway.
The Desire is still one of the most powerful phones on the market and getting something like a Nexus S will be defeating the purposes of upgrading. So dual core for me with a pretty good graphics chip. Not bothered about OS version. 2.3 is good enough for me.
I think it's good time to sell my desire, it makes 300$ in Turkey now adays and this is a good number for here. If i wait for some more time , i cant sell it for this number.
I think sensation and sgs2 will take 2.4 easily

Same here. Don't see the point upgrading to another single core.
None of the Poll devices. My next phone will have HW keyboard. But not sure will I get a new device for years. Desire rocks. Been rocking a year next month.
I will possibly get the HTC Sensation, provided it's rootable and "s-offable" not too long after release.
I got the Incredible S but only kept it a couple of weeks because it's too heavily protected (signed bootloader says hello). It was a nice phone though but my Desire can do much more so I went back to it.
Same here. My contract end in 2012 and there is currently no worthy replacement for my Desire with CM7.
"other"
the HTC Evo 3D will not be released in the UK (according to HTC) so I will be going for the LG Optimus 3D
I will try the this one: Lumigon T1 . It is the companies first cellphone, so ill try
HTC for me ))
And Sensation all the way )) I'll wait a bit when the prices drop

Do you have a source for this?
Because I was really looking forward to a GSM version of this. HTC France twitter said something about getting it and france uses GSM.
I do like the look of the Optimus 3D but LG is a bit meh...
and I love HTC sense!
I'm most probably going to buy the HTC Sensation. The only thing I can think of that would make me change my mind would be the battery life. If the phone can't handle over a day of medium to heavy usage, I'm not going to buy it. I complained endlessly when I get my Desire because of it's terrible battery life. Then I found out that good Android phones don't really get much better battery life.
Hmmm...I don't plan to get a new phone this year...but....
I vote for Sensation.
Hello Wildfire S users i have simple question!!!
Ive Own Blackstone and now i decide to move to Android platform but im tired of spending alot of money for a device and im thinking to spend this time smart my money so befor years i buy the Blackstone for around 650 Euro i will not do this mistake anymore to spend so much money for a device and right now im planing to buy Wildfire S the reason i want this device is..
Because i like the design and i like the size of it.. i think its Smart device and on the same time its super cool on hand and its just perfect size for me.
My question is right now with cooked ROM`s witch is the latest version of Android that Wildfire S can handle?
And do you are happy with the device itself?
I want my mp3 ringtones to sound cool and i think the wildfire S camera is cool also and make good pictures.
I don`t like the speakers of the Blackstone and i don`t like the camera because like you know there is not Flash and you can do images at dark places!!!
My question is what you think about the Wildfire S do you are happy with your purchase.. how is the Sound from the Speakers.. and etc and most importmantly..
Im planing imideately after i buy it to root it and do whatever is posible on the device but because i dont own it right now and im not familiar with Android alot i don`t know about what kind of Builds can hande.. for example in the future do you think that Wildfire S can have cooked SENSE 3.0 ?
Thank you in advance
Hello My Friend,
I am the ex Iphone user last one which I sold my 4g , and I jumped on android , wildfire s.
I like the phone how it is specially the size simply to use most of the apps that i had on iphone I have on my htc , so if size of the phone is priority.
I don't like that I have S On but soon that will be solved , why not give it a try the only thing if you want to play with it make shure it has s off , so you can do upgrades downgrades etc.
For the sound I can say its very good clear sound and the other thing compare to iPhone you can imediatly put any song that you have as ringtone, I was amassed how easy was to import the contacts calendars and sms from other phone .
And the batery I think is a bit small if you use internet is not so satisfied.
Today for everyone is to have things that you can do job in easy as simple as it possible.
I hope that you will like it.
Cheers
The wildfire s is a good little phone, the battery life is as short as most other phones.
Internal memory is small, but after rooting and using various apps it is easy to force move fixed apps to the memory card.
I use my phone every day, it's like a portable pc, and suits my needs very well.

Hi Tsalta;
well..to be honest I have it since some time now and regret a bit the choice.
I have rooted the device which already require an external device so you need either to purchase it or to find someone in your area who can help you out..you can find list of people on XDA forum.
The wildfire S so far is lacking focus from dev teams and support regarding available custom ROMs. in this forum there are a few, but compared to other devices the choice if by far smaller.
It might improve in the future, but it also might not..at the end I love its size, but low internal memory and ARM6 processor are underperforming compared to other devices (which on the other hand are bigger in size).
Come on..angry birds do not play well on the device..this already tells the capability of its hardware..
Internal memory is a continuous struggle..it's ridiculous, you love widgets (which are the reason why I choose android over IOS) but then you cannot really run many of them as you are out of internal memory very soon!
battery life is normal for a smartphone.
camera is just OKish..but still, is a phone and not a camera..so is ok for me.
It supports microSD of 32G, so I have plenty of music and the internal player is very good (lack of eq, but still a good player) and this for me is important as I cycle a lot and always use the music app.
Sygic is running well on this smartphone; so " turn by turn" navigation app in case of emergency is very well supported (eat up a lot of battery as in all other smartphones)..
Also sport apps like endomondo and Sportstracker are working very well
If you want a device of perfect size, that feels good in your hand, cheap, with a nice screen just pick this.
If you are looking for performance, or think you will get addicted to widgets and apps, maybe you should check out something else (that will be bigger and more expensive) or you will get frustrated as at the end with the wildfire S you always need to care about internal memory (until better custom ROMs will be released)
I might sell mine..hahahaha
Thanks guys for the comment ONLY one thing bodering me!!!
You are telling that right now Wildfire S can`t be ROTET i mean S-OFF permanently ?
Only this reason can stop me buy this device because after i install few apps my storage will be full and.... i cannot use the device for what i need!!!
Because im new to the Android official devices i only boot Android on my old Blackstone..
please let me know this is very importmantly
Thank you in advance
If you have some spare cash go for desire s. I'm a wildfire s user but don't mind upgrading cause I cook my own roms. and it's quite fast than stock.
Dude if i have cash i will buy Sensation instead of Desire
But because i don`t have and even if i have i don`t want to spend to much money again for Device this is the reason i stop on Wildfire S
The size and specs are exactly for me and i think is good enought for daily use but if can`t be unlocked i mean ROTED then.... WTF its useless
If I have cash I will buy sensation s, will there be, no.
Hey..of curse you can root the wildfire s.
I rooted mine.
You need to do it via a piece of hardware which either you purchase or look for somebody that has it to help you out.
I serched in the xda forum and found a guy in my area which had it, and with 12€ he used it to root my phone.
Once rooted is better.
On the other hand, as said..if you are looking for great performance You might be better satisfied by another phone (bigger and more expansive)
Hi, I am looking at buying an HTC Wildfire S to activate on Virgin Mobile. I want the Qualcom MSM8227 (not the 7227 that most Wildfire S phones have). The specific phone is released on US Cellular.
Code:
htc dot com/us/products/wildfires-uscellular/
I can get it unlocked on Amazon for $200-$250. I BELIEVE it is the A510e but I have seen differing specs, so any Wildfire with the 8227
Code:
amazon dot com/HTC-A510e-Unlocked-Android-Bluetooth/dp/B0055DXZZY/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
My two questions:
Is the 8227 as great as it is made out to be? What version ARM is it?
Will I be able to activate it on VM (again, I'm buying unlocked, I'm more asking people's experience with non-carrier-branded devices on Virgin)? (if not, what prepaid service can I in the USA, I'm not tied to Virgin Mobile, and their utter lack of Google Voice integration steams my peas).
Bonus: Given the hardware difference, what are my chances of easily attaining S-OFF and Root and flashing a custom (Ideally Cyanogen) ROM on it. I'd kill for CM9 but I have my EVO 3D and ThinkPad Tablet for that (eventually), CM7 would be nice, even CM6 would be very acceptable.
I ended up buying a Samsung Intercept and hacking that (UbuntDroid, Cyanogen was not flawless) but it is still a slow as heck pile of crap and we both hate it equally.
I used to have an HTC Aria so I know HTC can put out a decent 600MHz phone, I'm wondering if the 8227 is the same ARM version as my HTC EVO 3D (MSM8660). I know it is geared towards low end, but will it run Firefox (the Aria and Intercept do not), and overclocking aside, is it a good processor/phone.
I love me some HTC so I'm hoping for favorable answers above. I don't care about cell phone carriers, as long as it's not AT&T (which unfortunately rules out GSM entirely in my area). I am located in Central Vermont for anyone generous enough to suggest carriers.
And honestly, as long as I can activate it at some point, that's fine. She HATES it when I spend money on her (perfect? yea she is lol) so this is going to be a "toy" for me for a while until I "get bored with it". Yeah it's obvious and yeah she still gets mad but I have that technicality to fall back on
In an unrelated but while-I'm-here question, I have an Ex with whom I have a joint sprint account and she just trashed her EVO 3D screen and is in need of a new phone, something reliable (it was always crashing on her), just wondering if an EVO 4G with Cyanogen is as bulletproof (software wise) as you can get with Android on Sprint as I am going to end up surprising her with a new phone eventually.
I think u have to use virgin mobile only phones on there network, (I could be wrong) if you want a faster procesor there are oc kernels that will oc to 806 mhz compared to stock 600mhz , I'm not sure what you mean about low end arm processor, the wildfire s are good phones

Im a note owner, Im pondering either to buy a new note or change to the HTC One X. I have tried to search on Youtube, but no review matched my will. ( Got some scratches on the screen, and that's why I'm willing to change )
The note has a real good battery life, lasts a Full day with Medium/Med-High usage ) - But it does have an Over-Heat issue, whatever game you play? It will start heating from Minute 2 !
From your experience HTC One X users, can you give me any advice? How's life with HTC One X ? The Note is a really nice device ofcourse with it's own disadvantages
Unremovable battery is not an issue at all to me, but just wondering what happens if something freezes out while flashing or while using? How can we go back to point 0? On samsung simply, unplug/plug the battery. My only concern.
P.S : Not starting a Brand Fight like on other threads I've seen lol
i love mine, and i truly believe that if you get a perfectly fine one then its one of the best handsets you could own, it does burn hot sometimes when playing the heavier games, but its nothing to worry about really
the phone itself is hard coded to shut down after holding the power button for about 10 seconds, and it will always do this no matter whats happening on the device
overall, i prefer it to the note, camera fantastic and the tegra 3 games are a blast, even if gamesloft haven't given it quite the support that is should have, but that apparently all coming soon

Thanks for your reply! And Uh finally some words that makes me feel better about the Unremovable Battery thingy - Hoping to hear some more opinions
i bought mine today and i'm fully satisfied! it's fantastic! sure, it's not perfect: i can't say nothing about battery yet but i prefear removable one, no s-off yet, no sd... but 32gb and cloud can last me, and it's f**king hot when i'm play games (but it's good for winter )!
i love design and form factor... i think it's one of the most beautiful smartphone ever. i hope nvidia will release source soon.
when i first got the device, its the BOMB! i love ONE X! about the heating issue, i had it before when everything is still STOCK, but right now, after installing latest ROM (i use CHARMELEON & franco r-9 kernel), the issue has been resolved... even if i play heavy games, like SHADOWGUN THD, the heat is within normal, also the battery life is much better!
i went from a note to the one x. i would prefer a smaller screen size say 4.5", but it fits better for me with 1 handed use. I miss the awesome battery life I had on my galaxy note as battery life isn't too good right now.
I want to buy HTC One X
Hi guys, I have a question or few questions.
I want to buy the HTC One X(International) one month before my contract expires because I want to play with it before I go to AT&T. so here are my questions.
1. Can I root my HTC One X without sim card and no carrier contract?
2. Can I also install or flash custom rom without sim card and no carroir contract?
The reason that I ask these questions, it is because I am a noob for rooting and flashing roms. I have never done these stuffs before, but I am currently researching a lot.
That is why I want to know the answers to these question before I buy it.
Thanks for the helps guys, I really appreciate your answers

Its a smartphone, sure you can do all that without SIM
been without a phone for a few months and I'm finally thinking about getting one..
Either a WFS or Optimus Elite on Virgin mobile.
I'm just curious to see whether it's actually worth spending $179+$35 on for an out dated arm6 phone. I mean it's kinda on par with my HTC Hero(which I actually used a wildfire based rom on)
I just don't want to get the phone and then be completely unhappy with it..
I did read/watch reviews on it back in November/December after it came out.
as for rooting and what not... i pretty much know how to do all that
(Two gold MT3g gold cards and unrevoked HeroC) which will greatly improve the storage capacity of the phone.
As always, thanks in advance
u should get galaxy ace/plus/2
they are better than WFS
Both have their pros and cons........the LG elite has a bigger battery,NFC(plus for you??) but no ambient light sensor for auto-brightness(WTF)....it also has an ARMV7 processor,which supports flash
The wildfire s has good looks,A useful Sense UI but a less powerful processor
Also the WFS on virgin mobile is CDMA.......and the CDMA variant of the wildfire s doesn't have much on the development front,the CM9 and CM7 don't work on the CDMA wildfire s
So it's a stalemate in the Dev front........which leaves the decision to you.......if you want NFC and can live without auto-brightness......take the LG elite, Else look at the wildfire s
Well I could always go with T-mobile. but I'd be dropped to 100 minutes talk time.
HTC sense is a BIG plus for me.
NFC, i actually had to google that one, so I don't need it.
For the LG optimus elite, I haven't looked into it yet but I saw it can be rooted, does it have a decent dev. support?
don't know 'bout that
do yourself a huge favour and get anything else but this phone....had the phone around 6 months, and it's been nothing but hassle...just finding a rom that's stable, works, and gives you enough room for even the basic apps is a pain, and in fact something I have still yet to accomplish. don't say I didn't warn you :s
armv6 is a huge setback....DONT buy an armv6 fone or u will cry out loud!!
