Buying a HTC Desire HD tomorrow

Hey dudes
Im buying a second hand Desire HD tomorrow just wondering if theres anything i should watch out for and also do you think ill like it better than my Desire.
Only thing im slightly concerned about is the battery life but surely it wouldn't be that much worse? Just seems people whine about it alot... No doubt from people that dont own one lol

No, people whine about battery life because it isn't too amazing, not because they don't have the phone. As long as you're expecting to not get more than ~10 hours of heavy use, you should be fine.
Although some of the people I know, talk to seem to not get through the day.
Depends in usage. If light, you're fine. If moderate, if you may be okay. If heavy, probably not going to last the day.

I'd check the battery and sim covers that they're not cracked (obvious) and that they stay in place properly. (My battery cover was in fact so loose that it came off by itself, but I got a new one). Another thing that I would check is the camera lens bezel (the ring around the lens) if it's loose, mine got loose after one month of use and I had to send the phone in for a warranty repair. The warranty stickers on some screws under the covers would also be nice to have in place if you run into some problems with the phone in the future.

Thanks guys. With my desire I'm on 59% at the no after 16 hours with 56 minutes screen time. Running AOSP.
Id be happy if I could have a full day from wake up to bed with moderate use. I'd be charging everynight anyway

I'm on the latest Revolution Rom and I'm a heavy user (including the battery draining Whatsapp). I can make it from 6 in the morning till around 6 PM without charging, so that's pretty good I guess. Be sure to check the sim cover indeed, that it hasn't been bent or something, cause that's the only hardware issue I have on this phone. Have fun with it bro! ;-)

I get about 40 hours with light/moderate use(check my signature for my config)... Check if the phone has any physical damage(sim/battery covers, warranty stickers, if its just scratched a bit on the edges, it doesn't matter much, but ask for a lower price ) and check all the hardware and sensors(camera, bluetooth, wi-fi, gps, rotation, etc...)

Very helpfull guys thanks. Can't wait to get it I've been thinking of making a cool rom for it.

Im thinking of buying either LG 2X or DHD ..! Due to the reboot problems of 2X im thinking of buying DHD as a safe option .!!

I tested the x2. Didn't like it at all... Much prefer HTC

Not just the safe option, also the best option!

Don't worry over the battery life too much as the same as you I also had the original Desire and I've recently replaced it with the Desire HD. Both phones were running their stock ROMs and I must say that I don't notice any difference between the charging cycles. I'm a moderate user and I charge my DHD every two days, the same as I was charging my Desire before.
Yes, the DHD is a beast but trust me the second gen Snapdragon that's in it is a lot more power efficient and the DHD runs on Gingerbread which manages the background apps a lot better than Froyo, ergo saving power.
What's even more interesting my old regular Desire was with AMOLED screen which has proved to be much more power efficient because contrary to LCD screens it achieves black color by turning off pixels instead of reproducing black color and yet the DHD with SLCD collosal display gets me two days of use the same as the Desire did.

I just had a look at a HTC HD2 today im thinking of getting that now instead lol, the guy wasnt home today with the DHD. What you think? would be awesome to be able to run all sorts.

I'd stick and wait for the DHD in your place...the hardware is newer and superior than HD2

Go for it!! You'll be amazed at the raw power it has..

Just bought the DHD looks mean cant wait to root it (no pun intended) lol...

If you are willing to root, then many roms have better battery life.. With the stock ROM that Telus shipped with the phone (2.2.2), battery life was absolutely horrible. With screen brightness at 33% and juice defender, I sometimes would only get 15-16 hours TOPS. I am now running Virtuous Unity and I am actually able to squeeze two days out of a charge..

So long One V!

So I went to get my one v replaced and apparently the HTC guys had like 4 more units with defections! HTC themselves said that many pieces were defected and such problems wouldn't be solved till another 2 months or so and they suggested me to get a new device. So here I am with a sensation xe after replacing 2 one v devices! Regardless, I'd still say one v was an awesome lil guy and I'd still recommened..

This sounds unlikely to me. If this were true I think it would be all over the internet.
BTW, I've seen nothing wrong with my unit. I'm really enjoying it.

well guys, just cuz it happens to me doesn't mean you all are unlucky
there were no issues with the performance, but bugs with the physical aspects of the phone. Like leakage of light from micro usb, from under the screen beneath the capacitive buttons and also bands of light on the display. Like I said, I replaced the phone 2 times already and the second unit turned out to be even more defected, and it's nearly impossible for me to go get a newer unit every time so yeah
I'm happy with the decision though! loving my XE!
One V is still awesome! THAT PHONE HAS MY RESPECT! \\m//

and yeah another thing was the grip. it would lose signal when held in certain positions! one minute it loses signal, the next minute i keep it on a table by it's own, full strength.

defective ?
i had htc desire and it always reboot whenever it gets overheat. I sent it to service it took 4 months already and i dont know what happens with it .

Just received by HTC One V
It is also defective.
- The screen has a yellow line on the top and the bottom
- The touch screen is not working in certain places.
This sucks. I know atleast one other person with the same problem.

This is not a defect per se but a design decision. I don't notice it when talking but I do on the edge of wifi range. Not seemingly worse than my tablet or laptop.

Or perhaps not as picky given that this is a budget device. I'm quite pleased with it for what I paid. My only complaint is no CWM Recovery yet.
BTW, where I live, the Sensation XP costs $100 more that the One V. My expectations would certainly be higher with that phone.

My device heats a lot during charging. Is that big issue???
Sent from my HTC One V

i'm not able to really quite explain what i meant by bands of light. you must have checked out the other thread about the yellow spots right? yeah quite similar to those.
i wouldn't say picky, but when htc themselves admit to their customers that they screwed up with some stuff, i'd rather go get something more solid and stable. that's just me though

Heat isn't good for it, but it's common for lith ion batteries to get hot when charging. My Galaxy Tab 8.9 gets pretty hot too. Haven't checked the One V yet.

well i had a bit of heating as well, but not a lot. probably cuz of the body that it would conduct a bit of heat, i guess it's not a big issue unless yours is pretty much sizzling xD

That to me is the only realistic problem, which my phone doesn't have at all.
The light leak is really no big deal. Neither is the signal strength issue. Side-by-side with my Wildfire S the One V always has equal or better signal and I've never dropped a call with the Wildfire here in Cambodia or Thailand. Where you dropping calls?

My earlier unit didn't have it at all but this one did. And the light leak is intensr, u can see it very very clearly, coming from sort of under the screen, even in normal view. I'd post a to show what I really mean but don't have it anymore now..

gsmarena.com posted their review a couple days ago and had quite the opposite experience:
Connectivity suffers no death grip
We tested the phone for death-grip and we didn't find any problems - Wi-Fi signal drops if you completely cover the top plastic panel on the back, but the reception still remains quite strong. Cell signal didn't budge.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't notice this either, and as I said before, it's signal reception is better than my Wildfire S so I'm quite happy. The WFS has never dropped a call and I doubt my One V will either.

yeah well like i said, maybe it's just my tough luck, right? hey, don't get me wrong with the issues, i absolutely love the One V!

PowerSkin or Solarskin for HOX

I was wondering if anyone hase seen anything like on http://www.power-skin.com for the HOX
or even more interesting to me would be to know if there is a solarchargerSkin to be found for the HTC One X as we have seen for the IPhone.
If not I would like to start, maybe a Kickstarter project to make this happen!

please Do !!! It benefit who HOX world

I think the HOX needs something like a spectacles case with the docking pins inside connected to an external rechargeable battery. That way it will recharge while not in use.

press the thanks button if i helped you with this info

I am definitely interested as I am a technology reviewer on YouTube and am sent products from companies for review. I would love to help get the word out as I definitely think this awesome phone is in dire need of some expandability options!

I want one of those PowerSkin case, I get worried when battery is less than 40% and it take ages to charge through USB port. I'm starting to eye Galaxy SIII to see how much more screen-on time it can get.
I'd not use it all the time, only when the phone battery goes below 50%, so the phone still can be used normally while the internal battery get charged from the power case.

Galaxy s3 actually won't get better battery life. It's uses a lot more battery web browsing etc....one x gets better battery life in general.
Only thing is swappable battery. But battery jacket when it comes will be nicer.

I'm also looking to see if S III have more stable software than the One X.
I never really had any major problem with my last phone (Note). But with One X on latest software, the phone lose SD space, 3rd party launcher re-draw all the widget/folder too often and I still have not got my 23Gb Dropbox space since getting the phone on launch day.
This is not acceptable after paying £450 for a flagship device from a major phone maker. I've already advised few worker mates to stay away from the One X until HTC release a stable ROM.

[Q] confused between sgs 3 and one x. please help!! which one to choose?

i opened a new thread because i couldnt find any thread related to my problem.
i am plannng to buy a new phone. as the title of this thread says. i am seriously very confused about these two phones. i dunno why i have this soft corner for one x. i think its because of the classy looks and the screen. also i prefer 4.7 than 4.8. but i read some reviews and i got confused. otherwise ryt now i would have had one x in my hand. the things that is holding me back are:
1) battery issue: this is one of the BIGGEST issue.i stay out in the university from 7:00 a.m till 8:00 p.m(thats when i reach home). i need to listen to music for 2hrs. normal call and txting (NO MOBILE DATA). at max one hour of wifi usage. 1.5 hrs of gaming. or sometimes watch a movie in the free time. (thats very rare). ( 2HRS MAX)
if i do all of these in one day then i hav 10 percent left in my sgs when i reach home.( may be less but not more than 10). can HTC one x handle it? with stock rom and kernel? how much battery does custom rom saves? the pokemon one. I GUESS
2) one of my friend bought one x and said not to buy it cz battery life sucks and phone gets heated very easily and the screen flickering problem. which is obv a main issue for me.but still i dunno y i am so attracted to this phone that i opened a new thread for it.lol.
3) since my dad will be bringing my phone from UK so my physical presence wont be there because i live in bangladesh. so i am afraid of all these problems mentioned here:: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24516940#post24516940
and here:: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26000212
what should i do. once my dad buys it. i cant return in because he wont be going to UK for a long time.

I've had the one x and returned it, go for the galaxy s3. Miles better, you'll only regret the one x if you encounter problems. As standing the one x has many problems, I went through 3 devices only to have faults in each one. It overheated, died in 3-4 hours with constant use, software and design flaws in all three too. Got it replaced with a galaxy s3 which battery life is excellent lasting me over 10 hours with constant use, doesn't overheat, software is fluent and smooth as butter and pictures don't do it justice too as it looks badass in reality. I 100% say to go with the galaxy s3, you won't be disappointed

ok thanks a lot for the views but my question is doesnt htc know that consumers are having all this problem? y dont they do anything? this is absolutely terrible. y did htc did a terrible thing to their flagship. does anyone else have any views?

All the issues that u have mentioned have been addressed by the new 1.29 update..no issues whatsover here..n One X looks stunning n s3 looks awful..
S3 has a pentile display which means it will have black clipping n color banding issues like Note n Nexus..the One X has a RGB n its simply superb..
N the build quality of s3 is really cheap n one X feels really premium in the hand n also to look at..
N if u r into mobile gaming then u will be glad to know that today HTC has been officially certified for running PlayStation suite..that means we will get all PS games on One X..
N there are no build issues too in the new lot from HTC ..
PS: mine is a real early build of March n using it for 2 months n I never had a single issue

Heating n battery issues have been addressed in the new update..n no build issues in the new lot either...don't worry..
Gaming is the only thing that's gonna suck your battery..but that will be the case on S3 too coz these are quad core phones n u can't compare them to a single core galaxy S..

The heating only happens if you play heavy 3D games, and mine reaches a maximum of 46 degrees celcius which isn't anywhere near harmful.
About the usage, I'm getting around 16 hours on my one X running faux's kernel and the pokemon rom. This is with ~4 hours of screen on time on auto brightness (lowered the auto value though since the stock one was waaay too high).
As for 1.5 hours of gaming during this time, don't count on playing really graphically intense games (THD) for that long combined with your described usage. Should be fine with other games though.
Listening to music drains very little battery because of the 5th power saver core. Basically whenever the screen is off, battery time is amazing.
Hope this helps.

Check battery stats thread for result. Charmeleon Rom will satisfy your battery needs.

Try them both then decide.
I've not had a chance to try the SGS3 yet but I've got one on order to be delivered on Thursday so will test against the HOX.
Both are high end models. Both excel in certain features.
Now I'll tell you what I like about my HOX:
The screen, it's just lush, sure blacks are not deep as AMOLED but everything else is sharp crisp and natural. It betters my previous SGS2 and any other phone I've owned. Text is sharp, colours appear natural and whites are white.
The camera, some say hox is better some say sgs3 is better. But I like the HOX camera, it's got burst mode built into the capture button unlike the Samsung and can take upto 99 shots and review straight after once again unlike the Samsung. Pictures are nice check out the pictures thread and make your mind up.
The design, it's a lovely looking phone the matte finish is better looking than the glossy Samsung. But this is subjective and a matter of personal preference.
The sensors are hidden so less clutter on the bezel which is a nice touch.
Sense, I prefer it over Touchwiz especially for Facebook integration and looks more polished and refined than Touchwiz. Again a personal preference.
The keyboard built in is very good but I prefer SwiftKey any way.
It would have been nice to have an extended battery and removeable storage but I'm always near a phone charger so not am issue and 32gb is fine for me. But if these are important to you then go for the Samsung.
Other than the software gimmicks on the Samsung they are pretty much the same sure the sgs3 is faster and such but nothing optimises both phones as of yet. Plus HTC do roll out frequent updates.
I'll post more views after playing with the sgs3 but it'll need to be overall much better than the HOX for my day to day usage for me to move to it. Running Charmeleon rom at the moment and now it's perfect.

Completely meaningless information you posted. No technical information at all just opinion, sounds like your trying to convince yourself And yea playstation suite sounds good and all but you can get playstation emulators anyway as I have on my galaxy s3. And how can you say there's no problems when a new thread opened recently about antenna problems? Loads of people affected. Look for yourself on this thread vs galaxy s3 thread to see which your most likely to get a problem with. I think you'll find it's the hox. My s3 easily lasts a day and a half on stock imagine on custom rom (very easy to root and flash just saying). Sorry but it blows the hox outta the water, in every way. Altough design and looks are subjective, galaxy s3 does not feel cheap nor look it, people who say that haven't even held one I'm their hand. Looks fantastic in my opinion better than hox. Good luck in making your choice dude

S3 overhyped
The S3 is so overhyped you can only be dissapointed.
the HTC xone is the first phone i have seen i 3 years to beat the Iphone 4 which is now defo dated.
regarding the were so high.
battery, granted initially it was terrible but with this 1.29 patch it is fine remember we are talking quad core power.
the graphics on this phone are simply mndblowing and the heating problem i have never encountered, maybe cos i put the upgrade on straight away.
you know if your mates reccomend a movie saying it is the best movie they have ever seen and then you go and then you are dissapointed because the expectations were so high.
Samsung media and marketing is working at full power trying to convince the nation that this S3 is the greatest thing thing sliced bread and us Brits as usual are as gullible as ever. dont get me wrong the S3 is ia greeat phone but if you have an S2 and are expecting incredible things, you will be gutted.
The HTC ONE X is defo the phone to go for but make sure yo put the 1.29 patch on it. Its truly amazing.

Not defending one-x or s3.. but seriously what ever you have written is just theorerical..build/better/etc,etc... one thing.. i never carry my phone naked.. no matter gorila glass or w.e... a cover comes up.. feels safe.. so build/looks.. bye bye.. get an attractive cover..
Camera yeah i agree.. one-x is better.. but tht noise.. and dont even get me started on video recording.. my one-x used to record a high-pitched sound everytime i was on stereo recording..
Actually both phones are kinda similar.. only deal break= battery..
Accept it or not.. its the ugly fact of life.. gs3 juices out MAX 7 freaking hrs of screen time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YOU ARE NOT BLIND... 7HRS!!!!
as far as the galaxy's i have.. stand-by is ok!...
Stand-by on one-x.. lol yeah true it shows on 100% if you dont use it after charge.. but.. just withen 5mins of phone call.. battery drops to 89%.. kept on standby during the college time for like 3-4hrs
Battery is the deal breaker... go for s3.. go for LG's new phone.. or wait for iSh!t-5.. its all the same.. just if one-x had a beast battery like note or s3.. htc would be giving samsung a banana ride.. (if you know what i mean )

Camera yeah i agree.. one-x is better.. but tht noise.. and dont even get me started on video recording.. my one-x used to record a high-pitched sound everytime i was on stereo recording..
Actually both phones are kinda similar.. only deal break= battery..
Accept it or not.. its the ugly fact of life.. gs3 juices out MAX 7 freaking hrs of screen time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YOU ARE NOT BLIND... 7HRS!!!!
as far as the galaxy's i have.. stand-by is ok!...
Stand-by on one-x.. lol yeah true it shows on 100% if you dont use it after charge.. but.. just withen 5mins of phone call.. battery drops to 89%.. kept on standby during the college time for like 3-4hrs
Battery is the deal breaker... go for s3.. go for LG's new phone.. or wait for iSh!t-5.. its all the same.. just if one-x had a beast battery like note or s3.. htc would be giving samsung a banana ride.. (if you know what i mean )
EDIT-: Make the on screen time of s3 to 9hrs41mins.. lol..

i can make 2 days.. YES 2 days with regular use ...
what is my regular use ?
moderated sms / moderated calls, sometime i turn on mobile data to check facebook or wifi ... and play some draw something ...
off course if you open a game and spend 2hrs gaming the battery dies fast ... but i think you dont buy a phone to play games in a priority right ? ... if so.. please try a sony psp or nintendo ds ...
i dont want to defend any device... i dont tryed the S3, but im happy with HOX, great hardware, great design, great battery (lasts longer than my old desire)...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but screen on time is not the defining factor.
I've seen users of both, say the sgs3 is not lasting as long as their HOX for how they used their phones. (And I've also heard the sgs3 does last longer for them, so both verdicts)
ALSO we have a HOX user with 12hours screen in time, kinda makes your 9hrs comment look a bit ****ty right?

I did a partial charge from 20 to 80% and browse tapatalk for an 45min. Battery never drops.
Samsung fan boys who doesn't own just dont give blind suggestion.

He just left the screen on. We are proud that we are PS certified and we have better standby time. Just post your standby time here. GS3 cant even lost 1 hour without a drop. And every one admit that HOX looks better and it has better life than it has 1800mah. Wtf you are doing with 2100mah ??? cant even get similar battery stats with HOX.
HOX is optimised well and gs3 is a copycat of HOX!!!

Why? htc choice of parts and build of android?

I've recently aquired a Samsung galaxy 3 so have been able to do comparing es with the hox
First of battery
The galaxy lasts a lot longer than the hox plus it charges much much quicker over Usb and mains. Is this due to the type of battery or the charging loop parts on the hox?
Second
Bluetooth
The connection to my blue tooth headphones drops out every few seconds the catches up. I I think this fault with htc blue tooth I say this as I gad the same issue with the desire hd and the samsung if flawless.
Third
Wifi
The wifi signal holds much better and is stronger in the s3
4th
3g signal.
I appreciate this is carrier specific but the black spots I had on my hox aren't there with the g3 plus the Web seems to load quicker and smoother.
I love the hox but am a little frustrated that the flagship device seems to have been made with low grade sub standard parts which ruins the hox experience.
Now I'm looking for way of getting tweaks like vipers venom rom on the g3 just so I can have the custom logo in my notification bar.

The battery is on par with the SGS3 if not slightly worse with the JB update. I constantly get ~4 hours of on screen time and days and days of standby time.
Can't say much, but you need to keep in mind the SGS3 was released almost half a year after the HOX, so there's gotta be more advantages.

sg3 pwns one x on battery

Actually they are on par even with custom kernel on S3.

Sub standard parts, when the s3 feels like it's made from cheap sh!t plastic. Who says it's parts and not software?
