Hi guys,
I'm looking to swap an A8181 for an A8183 (UTMS 850) due to a change of country. Anyone looking to do the reverse?
Its an AMOLED, in very good condition. Currently getting a brand new mainboard.

Hi all. May be stupid question but ... Is there any differences between HTC Desire and HTC Desire A 8181. I just google 'HTC Desire A 8181' and all results are (Unlocked).

Nope... A8181 is just the model number.. Like the KAIS130 on the Kaiser...

Not so sure about that... when you do a support call to HTC in the dropdown it has listed them as two seperate devices...
I am thinking that the A8181 is the LCD version, as they ship them without AMOLED now due to shortages of AMOLED screens...

No - my Desire is an A8181, and it's AMOLED and I've had it for months. I don't know if the SLCD version has been given a new model number, but the Telstra Desire was the A8183 and the only difference between it and the A8181 is support for different radio bands.

Hey folks,
I just made an ebay purchase for an A8183.
I recieved it today and the box barcode and labeling match the imei and model number, but under the status setting it says A8181. The back says next g and telstra plus the box matched the sellers description.
The seller is allowing me to return it. So everyone planning to scoop one up, make sure the seller sends you a picture of the status page under settings, and it says a8183.
peace
My Desire is A8181 as well. What's the difference?
Frequency for hsdpa/umts. a8183 is for att in the usa.
it's possible that the seller flashed an A8181 ROM. if you haven't done so already, did you test to confirm you could/could not use at&t 3G? what is the model number under the battery? A8181 or A8183? i mention this because if i used a UK ROM cook's European ROM on my Telstra Touch HD, it would show a UK ROM number. it didn't matter tho, i could still connect to at&t 3G. oh yeah, my HTC Telstra HTC Desire also says A8181, but i can connect to at&t 3G without a problem. the seller flashed a UK ROM on the device.
I got a feeling your right, because everything matches under the battery. It says a8183, but the status page under settings shows a8181.
The build number as I investigate show test keys in their tag.
What radio are you using? Its the baseband I believe.
Any suggestions?
Yeah I am using the nextG branded and I got it from the telstra shop, so it is legit, but I just checked mine and it says 8181, though mine has been rooted, did its have any of the telstra cooked in crap or not? if not then I would say it was actually legit.

Presumably you are using this on AT&T in the US. If so, if you can get a 3G connection, it's an A8183 and you are good to go.

Definitely AT&T, the lack of 3g is what tipped me off. But there was no telstra software apps, just branding and packaging.
Also the baseband was not the same as the Telstra specs, and the rom version was not found anywhere within xda or google. I think the kernel version ended with the word test keys. 1.21 and
But I got my refund and reordered an unopened today from A GA company.
Is it possible that the radio or rom was to blame for the lack of 3g. I think it can from my should I say lack of experience porting android over windows.
Caint wait... I have been having withdrawal syptoms since I did the return. Suddenly my free backflip is awkward and dull.
peace,
OK, I do know the difference between the A8181 and A8183. I am seeing quite a few cheap chinese dealers selling something called "HTC Desire G7" and the photos & specs look identical to A8181.
Can someone explain the differences please?
G7 sounds like a T-Mobile designation similar to what they did with the HTC: Dream (G1), Magic (F2f I think) and Hero (G3 or G4)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
G7 means htc desire in china,as same as A8181
G1~G7 means htc's android phone:dream, magic, hero, tatto, nexus one, legend and desire
G7 in Australia?
Hi Guys,
As mentioned before, the G7 on the chinese websites seems to be way cheaper than what you can get in Australia(see TradeTang). However, I was just wondering if the phone would work as well as the A8181 on any network, and if there is any trade off in terms of quality?
Cheers
hey all,
I have a water damaged HTC desire. Motherboard needs replacement. HTC UK charges for replacing the same is as good as buying a new phone.
Can anyone suggest where to get a replacement motherboard at a reasonable price?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Dev
I have a spare motherboard. It's fully working. It's only vodafone branded but you can remove that with a goldcard. PM me for the price you have in mind. PS, you need a amoled screen. If you have a SLCD it will not work.
Hi Lennyz ,
Your motherboard is still for sale ?
Cheers

Bare in mind that debranding will probably mean you can't get the newer OTA updates as HTC seem to have got wise to it. You'd have to wipe all data using an RUU to get up to date

Hello fellow XDA'ers,
I just got a Telus branded S2 X (T989 / Hercules) from Canada and brought it to Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
I thought it would be a good idea to run into a door and crack the phone's LCD. I called Samsung UAE and they told me they can't / won't order a replacement part for me.
Any idea where I can get one shipped here / who could fix it here?
Help would be much appreciated
