up until 2 weeks ago my Desire was working perfectly. In the mean time I have travelled from the UK to Greece where I disabled the data roaming (I mention this as this is the only thing that has changed in the settings). On returning to the UK I now cannot download any new apps, or update any existing ones from the Android Market.
All that happens is I get a graphic which shows the commencement of the download, no progress bar movement and not actual download, irrespective of how long I leave the download going.
I have tried on wi-fi and over 3G, no luck.
When I switch the phone on I get an error message stating that it cannot verify the google talk account - which may be connected to the problem, however I cannot find any setting or app in the phone which has anything to do with the google talk app. The HTC desire online guide tells me how to access the 'talk' app, but following the very simple instructions does not reveal the app on the phone.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem or who has a solution?

stopped downloading apps
I've had same problem and not solved it yet!
Updated (officially) my Desire to android 2.2. Some notices and thoughts:
1) Russian keyboard is quite buggy: instead of space after space-button pressing it prints "!", and instead of Enter - "Ъ". This, however, happens only in portrait mode.
2) Messages are now ordered by date ascending. Why?
3) Search replaced with default 2.2 search. It's OK, but why not to stylish it for the Sense theme, like the old one?
4) Messages listing still lags, so does the main menu, when scrolling to the very bottom.
Hi guys,
i've looked around a little, and so far have found a few issues with 2.2
The idea behind this thread is to collect them all (POKEMON! xD).
When i think the list is complete, i will send a support ticket to htc about it.
So far noticed:
General Issues:
- Battery Drain
- dropping wifi connections after time
- random crashs when adjusting camcorder settings
- status bar gsm icon doesn't change to H in hsdpa areas, if coming from gprs area
- headphones aren't recognised if device is rebooted with them plugged in
- bug with russian keyboard in portait mode ("!" typed instead of Space and "э" instead of Enter)
- inoperative camera (not everyone)
- wifi-tethering glitch (doesn't save settings)
- massive heat while charging
- partly incomplete localization
- some issues with syncing to gmail (please more details!)
Browser:
- laggy panning in browser
- browser launchs to last page visited instead of homepage
Apps:
- the coverflow of the htc music player doesn't load all 5 visible covers (always at least one missing)
- some apps simply shut down, even if they worked fine on 2.1
- paid apps disappearing from market
- video thumbnails pixelated
- music playback doesn't resume after spoken intructions by navigator
- gps localization seems to be much slower now
Post, what you've found, i'll add it. (please tell, how you installed froyo, upgraded, reflashed or some other way)
Thx 4 your help
Seems all paid apps have disappeared from the market for me, including the ones I've already bought
@Cwiis
did you flash a new 2.2 or upgraded from 2.1?
Browser launches (after its been killed) onto the last page you visied, not the homepage.
haven't noticed any of those problems, only problem i had was that it wasnt properly installed the first time. I hear people complaining about battery power but my one week long desire usually holds just fine for 3 days without charge with normal use( wifi, sometimes gps, listening to music etc)
I haven't had any problems with the WiFi. But the web browsing isn't as smooth as used to be when booming in.
One thing I have however noticed is that if I'm in a area of gprs it says g, but when I go to a hsdpa area it still says g. I get the speeds of hsdpa but it says gprs. If I turn of and on the network it then says h.
Works fine from h to g. But won't go g to h even when its on hsdpa.
I'm in o2 in UK. Any one else noticed it.
Paid Apps are there for me. (uk. unbranded)
When watching BBC Iplayer you can't quit out of the playing Flash video, and i had to go to do a FORCE STOP on the browser to get out.
Oh, I was wrong, only two of my paid apps have gone - I guess the phone needs specific activation or something, but Raging Thunder 2 and Pacman Championship Edition have both disappeared for me (even though I've bought them and have both of them installed).

I think you will find that it is probably supposed to do that now. Part of the Android process management is that if an app is killed by the system (or a task killer as it happens!), the state is saved so that when you start up again it is in more or less the same place as it was before it was killed.
I guess that previously it didn't used to save the state, but now it does.

Dave
one paid app (radiotime) is missing from the mp. It is still on my phone though...
App share doesnt post to the facebook icon but works ok via friendstream (htc sense)

I had a similar problem, and although I was able to quit the browser, I was then left with a Flash video still playing in the background that I could hear, but not access or see (even going back to the browser). This happened for me after viewing in Full-Screen.
I think I've also found another issue following the update that I don't recall happening before...
If you're listening to music through headphones, then reboot the phone (without unplugging them), when it starts up again it does not recognise that the headphones are plugged in. Consequently if you restart the music, it comes out of the internal speaker.
Unplugging them and plugging them in again fixed this... It does appear to be repeatable though.
I'm not too worried though, I can accept the odd minor issue like these, as so far at least, the benefits of Froyo far outweigh the drawbacks.
(I installed Froyo OTA on an unbranded Orange UK handset.)
1) Unable to sync contact with fb (It does not update pictures, status etc)
2) Something is wrong with the camera. In viewfinder mode everything seems to be overexposed
people at 4pda.ru forum collected this list of bugs in 2.2 desire rom (my approximate translation follows):
bug with russian keyboard in portait mode ("!" typed instead of Space and "э" instead of Enter)
radio heavily degraded. lack of stereo reception (not everyone have this issue)
inoperative camera (not everyone)
applications size display issuer
excessive battery drain
sluggish scrolling in stock browser
wifi-tethering glitch (doesn't save settings)
intense overheating when on charge and during heavy load.
"Phone" application doesn't change its locale when changing system language from Russian to English
(original post is located at _http_://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=162138&view=findpost&p=4928464)
Problems with localization files. Eg. if running Danish locale, names on months are not shown in 3rd party apps, this happens eg. with Smooth Calendar (dev is working on workaround). Instead numbers are shown, but if switching to English locale, there is no problem.
Has been reported to HTC by me and Smooth Calendar dev., let's hope they respond and fix this, with some of the other bugs mentioned in this thread.

from the development section, it wasnt a custom rom tho, just the ota with the hboot removed
Hi,
I have a Desire HD with the stock everything, and by OTA it got the 2.2 so I can't temp root now(before you ask).
One mail reason I got a smartphone was for my love of using GPS. And all was working well, but recently, since almost last one month now GPS has almost completely stopped working. Sometimes I am able to see a fix of upto 4 satellites in GPS status, but the lock never happens. I have tried:
1) GPS status with reset and fresh AGPS data
2) disabling wifi/mobile data
3) removing battery and doing factory reset
4) Ensuring there is clear sky and keeping my phone stable for upto half an hour
5) Testing with Google maps
I read the gps.conf may be the common culprit but i see that the same NTP server of north-america is being used in my brother's Wildfire and it works perfectly and gets a lock within 10 seconds! So I would say rooting just to change gps.conf may not also help me out.
What else can i check? If possible I would want not to root and if required at all, would want to do a temp root if possible to save my warranty
Please help me guys to get my GPS back on my 2.2 DHD
I have read almost every forum post/article I could find which may help me with my GPS issue but none helped me and it seems more and more people are getting this issue. The last thing I would want is to send my dear phone to service center lest they take weeks to "fix" it.
So I was experimenting with any clue I could get. AND it seems I may have stumbled upon something here!
I THINK HTC Desire HD can boot into a safe mode which would help me find if there might be abackgrund process/app hurting my GPS. So to accomplish this I rebooted my HTC, and while booting up and kept the HOME button pressed till it booted up and showed the unlock screen.
GPS Status too about 5 mins but found 6 satellites and locked!!!
Not believeing what I was seeing, I started google maps, and within 5 seconds it locked on to 10 meter accuracy!!
2 questions now
1) Had I actually booted into safe mode, if not what happened here
2) If this was really about something interfering with my GPS, then which server/app is it? How to investigate?
I went into running services and found these running:
astrid backupservice
jbedvmnorunning service
calendar obexservice
htcsense immediatemodeservice
htcsense dashboardsvc
google cloud to device
google messaging
media
sound sdmsvc
cspeoplesync
google maps networklocation
market alarm
mail easappsync
touch input svc
Other 71 mb in 4, avail 247+241 in 43
I will try to find next day what services are running in regular boot, if gps stops working again
If this works for anybody else too, please comment as then we can try investigate together
Well, it turned out that my GPS working was more of a fluke. Didn't work again after that :'(
Not sure what else to try as I do not wish to take as I am not at all comfortable flashing etc. my phone just to make GPS work
hope this solves your problem

try FastFix from the market, its a free app, but i think it needs root access
alternatively, you can look in this thread, this helped many

Hi all,
Wondered if anyone else had this problem occur or knows what is causing it, browser was fine yesterday, but this morning when starting to type in the search box on google mobile search page the characters appear, then after about a second they get hidden with a dot, like I am entering a password or something like in the attached screenshot, and it's really starting to annoy me.
It's ok if I switch to one of the other available searches like image or places search, only happening on the web search page.
I've tried switching to a different keyboard, clearing all histories/caches etc, and it's still doing it, any ideas anyone ?
same problem here..it appeared after i flashed a new ROM (RCMix S v09)..not a big problem though, since theres a search button on the desire...but still wondering what causes this bug
use opera it is way better than embedded browser
Thanks Salahfathi, not after another browser though, don't use it enough to warrant installing another one, I find the original one perfect for my use, would just like to get rid of the little annoyance in the first post.

Know bug, reported by other users, as well.
Follow the threads, they are working on a fix.
OK - the odd thing about this is that my wife started experiencing this on her unrooted, stock froyo wildfire yesterday. One minute normal, next minute like a password. My desire is not showing this behaviour.
Now that suggests to me something is happening that is not rom dependent?!!!
Hi there, i got desire HD with Android Revolution HD 7.0(2.3.5 (Gingerbread) + Sense UI 3.5 )
and i got some questions.
1. I have installed CurrentWidget in order to check on my battery and i set the log correctly but the application is not making any log ? Do i need to keep it running or its running by it self?
2.I got Samsung ue55d8000 TV and i connected it to my wireless AP(phone also connected to it) and Samsung Remote cant seem to find it?
ps. Connection works on TV and on phone.
ok i fixed the samsung problem, it was firmware upgrading to new got it working.
anyone for this current wig. ?
If you have any task killers exclude Cur. Widg. from it, and be sure to actually place the widget on the home screen.
Goto Curr.Wid from Settings-> apps. Clear the data and force close. then restart the application. probably this might work.
canabi 1859
ok i kinda fixed it dont know how
one some more questions coming
3. ok after cleaning my antenna contacts i get better gps reception i can fix on 7-9 sats. in like less then 30seconds, but when i keep start walking(was in park trees only 500m around me clear no buildnings) i start losing sats one by one.
i installed igo my way 8.4.3.179971 put maps on it and everything else i started it and i got fix on my location but when i started walking (same in park) it says gps lost and gps off.
So my question is this rom related problem or hardware or even application?
4. How can i force phone to install applications on Sd card?
try GPS fix given from android revolution thread....
