hey dude dont give me others review and link...i can find it dat on googling something...but i want ur opinion about this phone..and also wana confirm that call recording(2 side) is possible in HTC desire..
just reply me about this

So.. what do you want?
You start another thread instead of spending 2secs googling and maybe half an hour reading? :/
Sorry... but did you even bother clicking on A|ex' link? The first link has a bunch of reviews from other pages.. so why not bother reading them instead of asking a question which may have been answered before?...
To your questions..
I don't think recording is hardware specific.. so I believe it's an Android app you're using..? and as the x10 is on Android 1.6 and the Desire now on 2.2.. I believe recording should also work on the Desire and even other devices..
I didn't try it though. So don't blame me if it doesn't work like you imagined or doesn't even work at all..
The speaker volume is ok for me too. But maybe using a headset solves this issue for you? Again I can't compare to your x10 as I didn't test it..
And if you consider the audiohack I've read from your "low volume @ x10"-thread be aware of the fact, that the N1/Desire currently seem to be incompatible with this method of increasing the volume what I've read?
And again, do some research pls.. As I saw now, most threads you started seem to ask for links or step-by-step tutorials for things already discussed.. and I don't think everybody is patient enough to answer the same question for the 100. time, just because someone seem to be too lazy to read a bit more :/
And a "thank you" to A|ex would have been nice too, as he tried to point you in the right direction (I think so).

- battery life (1 -2 days )
- optical track pad
+ everything else
in call recording, don't have a use for it, so never tried it.

You can't say that the optical track pad is bad. It's just different from the track ball :/
I myself prefer the track pad over the ball..
Before I forget.. I'd like to mention that the camera seems to need some tweakings in my opinion.. just because of the colours.. but it's all to your likings

I like the optical track pad aswell. I can't find anyhing bad about the device except the sound from the speaker...
I remember back in the good old days when I had a Nokia N73, the speaker sound whas GREAT, and it even had stereo speakers! Then when I got a HTC Diamond I was almost shocked about the crappy sound quality, the Desire has a bit better sound than the Diamond but far from good.

Indeed, I can't believe the poor speaker quality. Some phones that cost 1/4 of the desire can overshadow this device.
And, yes, other than that it's excellent.

thank you guys
thank u guys..
but my idea is not clear yet about call recording yet...
i think there is no two way call recording in HTC desire yet...

I got 2 links to share with you.. the first one is about (I guess?) asking the same question some time ago.. but focus more on the legal issue.. which isn't quite unimportant I believe..:
http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-g1/3228-possible-record-your-phone-conversations.html
The second one is a link to an app you might consider testing? Or asking somebody to test it..
http://de.androlib.com/android.application.com-opensystem-callrecord-jjDw.aspx
What I'm still wondering is... what you really want? 2way-recording? You mean ingoing and outgoing calls? Your AND your partners voice?
I don't have any need for recording phone conversations.. so I did not bother spending more time researching that topic... just like you I guess?.. but IF I read your first post correct, you said that there are several apps for your x10 allowing call recording..
My question now would be: Why would those recording apps, which are on Android, run on your x10, but not any other phone? If I recall correctly, both devices run Android? (different versions though)
Either way, try to TEST the desired phone before buying it.. reading reviews and asking for flaws is a good start, but research should just start here.. and continue

Just got me new Desire

Hi
Just got me a refurbished Desire from 3 for a very decent price, so I never got the original box which means I have no way of knowing what type of screen I have
It has Android version 2.2 is that scone or custard slice? haha, so can I asume it will have a SLCD screen
also why does it have a purple tinge, I read that somewhere else and hoped mine wouldnt be like that, will need a cover that goes over the whole phone to be honest cos its not good for my street cred having a purple phone, haha
on the hunt for a decent theme to use, the live screens are great but will get bored of them sooner or later, ive seen some that change the look of all the icons, how do I get one of them installed?
any links for the push software so i can get an alert from facebook
thanks for your help

All 3 desire phones are amoled, mate manages a 3 shop
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Easiest way to confirm what screen you have is turrn on your camera in a pitch black room. If its amoled the screen will stay pitch black on your phone, if its slcd you will easily notice any sort of light bleeding around the edge of the screen. I think I'm right in saying that?

There is no superAMOLED in HTC Desire. AFAIK that is a Samsung-exclusive feature.

[DUMP] G1 Blaze (G2 prototype)

As mentioned on IRC a long time ago, here is the dump of the G2 prototype, called 'G1 Blaze'
I'm not sure how useful this is now, but I thought I'd put it up for everyone's curiosity. Please feel free to mirror elsewhere.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1pGU044HRD_RTlOR1lialN0b0k

Very interesting. Was planning on sleeping. That is now postponed.
Thanks for this!

Why on earth didn't they keep the black it looks so much better then this sort of grey

mmcblk0, file size: 4GB.
"The missing 2GB", episode 2?
Guessing that eMMC was partitioned in MLC mode on this one.
So, the differences are: black housing, secondary mic, AMOLED screen, 4GB of internal memory. Anything else?
And that would be an even more awesome device if HTC released it without these changes.

is here wrong place to post it?

It's not a ROM. Read the thread title.
It's a DUMP from the G2 PROTOTYPE.
It contains all partitions' dump, including HBoot (v.0.55.2000 ENG, never seen before), Radio, System and all the other things.
And BTW I downloaded it and everything's fine for me.
Copied this file to my Dropbox as a mirror.
@OP: Can you provide some more photos of the device (or maybe side-by-side ones that you've talked about on IRC)? I'm VERY interested in PCB photos, but if you don't want to disassemble the phone, it's up to you

+1 I think they went the wrong direction changing the screen and making it gray instead of black. Idk why they didn't leave it black. It looks f***in sweet black... lol

How did you manage this compression? 7.4 GB inside of a 670 MB file?

In all curiousity, did the prototype have the Z-hinge?

Pretty cool the prototype. Dunno about you guys but I kinda wished our DZs came with an AMOLED screen like that. Wonder what we can do with those files..

I actually got to speak with the Product Manager for the G2 and she said their market survey indicated the gray/silver color was preferred.

More photos attached. I don't care about serial numbers. The G2 was sent to China and the G1Blaze is only a test device now.

Much of the dump is wasted space, and the 2 nandroids are pretty much copies of the dump, so compress to insignificant space.

The physical design of the G1blaze is pretty much identical to the G2, with the differences called out above.

The photos should show the pentile OLED, of which I am not a fan. I already tried to replace the OLED with a G2 LCD and found out the ribbon connectors are not compatible.

You are a quote master. Thanks for all of this, really cool! This makes me wish HTC would be making another QWERTY slider like our beloved G2 though

Dam I never knew this existed amoled display would've been sick on this phone with that black trim

This makes sooo sad!!
If I knew about this waiting for my G2 I prolly would have been real upset knowing there was always going to be a better version of the phone I loved!!
Tmobile G2 = The overly used silver benz everyone drives!
G1 Blaze = Would have delivered exactly what everyone was expecting! =/
....So much prettier, ....8mb camera w/ stock 2.2?
OP Why did take away so many capabilities? ....and know where I can Buy one? Seriously! ^_^

I don't see what makes you sad here...
1) this prototype has amoled POS display. SLCD > amoled.
2) Slow performing 4GB internal storage vs FAST performing 2GB. I'll take the faster anyday, since the device supports external add-on.
3) If by "8mb" you mean "8 MP", I don't see anything indicating such.
4) Ugly painted black plain prototype. Easy to scratch off paint and would quickly look like junk. They paint prototypes like that to make them nondescript.
What we have is basically *superior* to this prototype. The next step up is the HTC DOUBLESHOT.

Let me tell you why. Like it's not enough that they pirate devices, people support them! I don't get it! Sorry If I sounded rude, it just pis*es me off (not you, the ones that pirate ). You know, the guys over at HTC invested so much effort and time in this device and....nevermind. You can ask for custom roms and root on XDA's General or "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" section. Most of the chinese fake phones got their root exploits from there.

I'd feel such a bellend with a cloned chinese device.
Won't you feel stupid when people say, "Is that a One X" and you have to sit there and explain no, its a "iHTC One X EX"?
Like, WTF?

mate its almost the same, yeah its not quite a one x i get that, but where else can you get them specs for that price?
if anyone asks 'is that a one x' i'll happily reply with 'nah, its a chinese copy, with 1GB RAM, Dual Core 1.2Ghz processor, dual sim' and then follow up with '..and it cost me £115'
sorry but i definitely wont feel a bellend, its called saving money.. the Nexus 4's cheap price showed everyone we're all being robbed blind, so i decided to look elsewhere and found a kick ass phone for a kick ass price.. simple as that

That phone will probably have nothing in common with the real HTC one X except the look

Yes they call it ics....with a non ics version number and a non existing bootloader number and non existing strange cid number ....etc.... etc.... etc.....

I don't know mate ive seen all these devices if its what you can afford none of us can say anything. You will limit yourself on roms. Various compatibility. I don't agree these devices shoudnt exist. Phone manufacturers make a lot of money not only sim free but contract providers etc. They do overcharge for what they are made for
But if someone uses it and they know the x they will spot it instantly
Main point though it limits you mate and it will never have the power of the original

This phone is Exactly same as our one v ! with lesser battery capacity ! why would they even release this ? ! no one in their right minds will buy this ! and about the theme i think just extracting (and De-odexing ) the apk from the phone and installing it on the one v will work !

Looks like its screen is 0.2" smaller... Probably need to resize the .png
