Your desire wears off?

Tricky title?
I don't know if this is the correct subforum... if not, mods please transfer.
Anyway... As many of you probably did, I have had many phones. The thing is that with my previous devices, the desire for them got lost in like a week after I purchased the device. But with the HTC Desire, I have kinda different feeling. I mean, I purchased my Desire like a month now, and I am not a bit bored by it. It still looks fun to me, and I still find interesting things to do with it. So, what is your opinions about this? How long did you enjoyed your new "shiny" device, and for how long you have been (are) enjoying the Desire?

I know for me the fact I can mould the phone how I want has played a huge part in keeping me interested. I usually upgrade to nokia E class phone, the E71 was my last phone, but coming from a linux fanboy the Desire feels like -my- phone just like my laptop is moulded exactly how I want it.
The fact its the first phone I've owned that has yet to struggle with anything I throw at it helps a huge amount too

This device is amazing indeed. I still have moments that I look at it and think... wow And soon Froyo will come, which will give you another few weeks of 'new enjoyment'. Also I still hope that the Android Market is going to start filling with great quality apps soon :0) Angry Birds this summer is a must have game.
And in Q4, Android 3 may be released and we can start enjoying that. (probably not from HTC, but from XDA) There is lots going on in the Android World!

I'm pretty much bored with it as I get with any phone once you do all with it you wanted. It becomes just another phone. The only difference with this one is that I'm hell angry on HTC for there build quality in general which covers everything from the poor UMTS reception to the stupid body design with button back light shining through micro holes under the screen.

Been happy with my HTC phones since I opened up a box of Magics and knew I was buying one by the end of the day. I've now had a Magic, a Hero and now my Desire and I always find something new to do or try out every week and that's without having rooted the phone. Before this I've had a S.E. W950 and after an E71 and while I've had my Hero I've had an iPhone and I've got to say that the iPhone has nothing on the overall features and abilities of even my Hero.

I have to agree with y'all. If it was not for the battery, this device would be absolutely perfect!

[Q] Is Evo the best or worst thing that's entered your life?

For the people that our lives have been taken over by the addiction of flashing roms, kernels, and fine tweaking our phones on a daily basis. Have you payed less attention to loved ones in your life? Gotten in trouble? "Put that damn phone down for one freakin second!!"
As much as I get yelled at, I still can't put it down! I always get into a lot of trouble, girlfriend being suspicious of texting activities, etc... All i'm doing is playing some robo defense and fruit ninja!
How's everyone else holding up? lol. Do you consider the evo as the best or worst thing that's happened?

I wouldn't day the best thing in my life, but a great power in a way.
Sent From My HTC Evo 4G Using Tapa Talk Pro!

I had a G1 before EVO and that was my first wild phone. I wouldn't say it is the best thing but it is a vital thing in my life. It is sadly also a horrible object that promotes ADD and addiction.
I wouldn't go without it!

I think I would consider it a great enhancement to my personal life.... I have been sorta in the dog house cause of it, but this is the best dog house I ever been in....

EVO & PS3 are tied at a close second

My fiance comes first, at least to me, but she will beg to differ. Her most famous quote is, "your always on that GOD DAMN PHONE!" I dont think I am. Only when I'm checking Facebook, the forum, engadget, flashing, backups, theming, looking for cool apps, playing angry birds, and what ever else I do on the phone. So I don't see how she don't think I put her first. At least I sleep with her at night and not the phone, even though the phone does have its own spot on the bed next to me.

I think jail was the worst thing to happen (so far).
As for the evo, I just gave it to my gf cause it was collecting dust. That's one way to get your old lady off your ass, give her one. When she's playing some stupid game say, "you're always playing with that damned phone and you don't give me any attention anymore"
Payback is a *****
LOL!
One time she was giving me a hard time. She made some comment that maybe you would have more money if you didn't buy a new phone every month. I told her I didn't buy a phone every month and why does she care? She gets the month or two old phone as a hand me down so she has no room to complain. She hasn't said anything since.

Ummmm.... I got my wife an Evo the same day that I got mine.... problem solved

Damn SNESoid and Super Metroid: Prime!!!

I bought my fiance an evo the same day I bought my phone. Got paid for some web design I did and went right out and bought evos lol

This is awesome, sounds like me and my house. It is definitely an addiction. After HTC 8525, HTC Tilt, all 3 iPhones, HTC Hero, HD2, HTC Desire a couple of others in between and now the EVO. All I hear now is "You and your phones"
There's been many of nights setting at my desk clicking refresh and reading every updated post waiting on the next best thing while she is her thing and still trying to talk to me and I aint hearing a dam thing.
I have thought many times about just getting rid of a smart phone and going back to just having a phone. But I just can't do it. I am ate up with this ****!

LOL!!!
I knew I wasn't the only one...
It's the most amazing electronic device I've ever had, and it had caused it's fair share of relationship stress.. It did get a little easier when my gf got her evo though..
And I agree, it's not the worst doghouse..

I've been a flash-a-holic since my touch pro. windows mobile sucked many hours of my life away. i spent hours modding kitchens, creating provxmls, and creating my own roms.
now... i just wait for a fresh rom update, flash, and done. ahhhh... love android. definately don't tweak it as often as i used to in WM days.... no need to... everything is rock solid with my setup in my sig...

Ill just say my phone lays closer to me in the bed than she does.

it's called balance imho
if you understand what comes first problem solved

I think they should make a tv bases off of us. Something like the show on animal planet, its me or the dog. But we can call it, its me or the EVO. Lmao

The phone always turns on for me.
The phone never complains I touch it to much.
The phone will always do what I say.
If I don't like something on the phone, I can change it.
If the phone gets broken or scratched up, I got insurance.
When a newer model comes out it wont get mad if i touch it a bit.
and last but certainly not least:
I CAN PUT THE PHONE ON MUTE!!!!!!!!!!
need i go on its not as simple as balance

Quick ?, getting evo soon.

Hey guys, I haven't seen some of these dev names in a while Toast, Damage, Ra ;-) Anyway, I'm replacing my Hero with an Evo in a few days just to get the upgrade. My question is: Since I've been working with the Hero for all this time, is the EVO pretty close? I've spent a few hours reading around and it looks pretty straight forward Better than the Epic which I really don't want to mess with. Looks like there's a questions out there too so I'll see if I can help when it comes in! Thanks guys.

And why is the "White" one so much cheaper? I'm gonna bundle it up like a football player anyway so does it really matter? Who doesn't wanna save some change?

Fairly straight forward. Use unrevoked for the 1 click root, then bam, backup then start flashing. All the roms are found in the development section; Personally I recommend CM7 with the Tiamat kernel.

Or wait a few months for evo 3d and less then that for nexus.

That's fantastic, thank you. I'm currently running 2.3.3 on my hero with Clockwork and it's working much better than it was months ago. There's still some buzz around that forum but it's pretty easy going. I didn't see anything about Firerat's around here....is there something like that or a need for it? The Evo has decent memory compared to my lil Hero lol.

Yea the 3D has the 2 cameras in the back for stereoscopic 3D [how your eyes work]. And honestly the 3D is the current evo, with dual core processing, a slightly better gpu, and a bit more memory internally; I personally think you'll be okay getting the Evo now.

@Sammy. If you want I will sell you mine.mines rooted with all the works already.I found a way to make the Samsung galaxy tab make calls is the reason I want to switch. Let me know

Sorry man, I ended up ordering one a few minutes before I came back here. I was on the phone with Sprint getting my pin and he confirmed the april 1st deadline. Also he mentioned my TEP carries over, eventhough I bought it from a 3rd party. Good to know.

The EVO 3D has a bit more punch - but I'm completely happy with my EVO 4G. I used the Unrevoked's 1 click method, it was brain dead simple. Installed the HTSync, uninstalled it - then installed the hboot drivers, ran the unrevoked app, and in a few moments, I was rooted - w/o having to touch a thing.

A bit more punch yes but I see there's overclocked kernels out there. Who's dominating that one? I'm definitely going to try a sense rom (yea I know) and CM7. I owe it to Fresh, Toast and Damage to see what they've come up with for the EVO after all the work on the Hero.

Sounds good then tomodachi...also myn makes great roms. I do hope you enjoy them.

Myn's warm 2.2 RLS5 is a great ROM, smooth as butter and easy on battery life. I keep trying new ROMS but always end up coming back to Myn's as my daily ROM. Everything works on it. Just my 2 cents worth.

In listening to the evo noise, myn and mikfroyo seem to be the popular two.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback guys. It's nice to know I'm coming from AND going to a good forum. XDA is SUPER popular now! Brings the good and the bad though, I understand. I do my best not to answer dumb questions but some of these forums grow WAY too fast. The Epic forum is not friendly at all and it's keeping me from messing with the g/f's phone but you guys are great Thanks again and see you's all real soon. Hopefully by Tuesday.

The Evo is a year old. By the end of your contract it will be 3 and all of the devs will be long gone for newer phones.
Which sucks because the new phones coming out look like they're basically Evo's with dual processors. 3D isn't used widely enough to be worth caring about.
I got a 3D TV a few months ago and and yet to find some 3D porn.

Lol we have our fair share of grumpy people, but good on the whole. And thank you, welcome to the club.

I just realized I said "answer" but meant "ask" lol. This is why I don't mess with coding that much ;-) So, I got this "Ballistic Case" for the phone mostly because I have a "Bodyglove" for the Hero and I damn well know it'd be broken today without it. Yea, it'll make the phone a monster but it needs it. I'm in construction so it gets dropped every now and then. Is there anything else I should be thinking about before I put it to everyday use? Early adopters complained of battery life but I'm gonna assume that's been well addressed since then. Right now, I drop to about 55% on the Hero using CM7, current usage. I hope that circle battery mod I like so much is floating around here somewhere. I've got 20 gigs of Hero files LOL.

Gaming

I want to get a few games on my phone. I'm a huge sports fan and enjoy playing Madden/NBA 2k. I know Madden is on the droid, but can I get it for the G2. I prefer a NBA game, but either one will do.

My suggestion is to look into emulators. You can run a psx emulator (FPse) pretty well on the Vision with overclock. I'm not sure if the old psx had the games you are looking for...

Madden 12 is on the market if you guys are interested for 7 bucks. I'm now looking for an NBA game, which is what I would prefer over madden, but madden will do.

Incredible -> Music player?

Welp i had a Dinc for a a bit than bought the droid razr, dont plan on going back to my incredible anytime soon. I have been browsing the roms and other sub catagories for the Dinc, my question is, is there are rom that basically strips down the Dinc, so i can really just use it for a music player? kinda like a ipod of sorts... might be wishful thinking. a friend kinda brought the idea up so i figured i ask.
Thanks!

i would load CM7 on your old incredible because it is the lightest and no bloatware. then there is a script in the dev forum that will turn off cell radio but keep wifi working so your phone battery will last forever on a single charge.
i did this for a bad ESN phone for a friend and he loves it.
