EDIT:
HTC mail widget does not refresh the email list when a new email is received. The email application itself needs to be opened in order to refresh the email list.
I know some of them are either well known or maybe not 100% HTC's fault but I just want to let them know (or remind them) that these problems still exist.
Otherwise they won't fix anything without proper feedback.
I might have forgotten some of the issues so if someone has a problem and my Desire does suffer from it I can add it to my list.

When listening to the FM radio and a text message comes in, the radio is muted to allow the alert sound to play but the radio then remains muted (even if closed down and restarted). Only a soft reset fixes problem.

News widget not updating automatically.

I will try to reproduce the FM radio problem. If it really behaves this way I will add it to the list.
The HTC News widget will be added as well - I can confirm this already.
Thanks for the input so far. I am still compiling the list so feel free to add some more issues.

Is there much point considering we will be getting FroYo in 13 days?

Will we? So far I haven't heard anything official about Froyo on Desire. It can take several months until HTC decides to release it.
Until then I would like to have these issues resolved as they are quite annoying and in some cases just plain stupid.
I know some of them may be irrelevant or not so important for others but for a device of such caliber I expected better and more reliable functionality.
And I would like to let HTC know about it...

Have you read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666332
You are posting a duplicated post, and the best you can do is add your problems to the other post since is sticky and have been here for a very long time now!
But if you want to send these "bugs" to HTC i'm with you - be sure to also add the ones that are on the post i referred since there are many more...

What about the pink screen ?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656128

I would like to know why HTC made so phones with sense can't connect to some bluetooth-devices f.ex. wii motes.

Whay don't HTC Come take a look at the XDA Forums thread.... If they took a look at all the problems that people are posting here, then there would be plenty of updates to come

My Desire doesn't vibrate when receiving a text but vibrates for everything else.

Hi, there is/are xda threads about that already, which personally I am experiencing too; shut down takes 10-15 mins or even longer. Don't know if any app/s cause this matter or a bug in Desire, but as said this is a common concern.

* some contacts which are connected with one or more facebook accounts and/or gmail contacts change their names randomly (e.g. i set a contact to use FB name and next time i get there it's using email address)
* when I receive an sms from a web gateway, e.g. from vodafone, in the messaging app the phone puts in a thread with a facebook account which has no phone number (a blank one, created by the phone itself and that I can't seem to be able to delete)
* alarm doesn't ring if phone is off

hey man why don't you tell them to make an option to save the images taken by camera as dates instead of image# (number)
i copy my images into folders and everytime i take new images i need to rename them before moving them along or i will have filename conflict because my camera everytime starts from the same numbers...if the name was according to date they would be sorted as i want them and no problem moving them around too.

low res contact pics... a fix would be great

[Q] Unusal high 3g data useage (from Mail application)

Hi,
My daily 3g useage today is currently at 64Mb, which is just crazy. I haven't used the internet, you tube, etc; and on checking watchdog 3g pro it indicated that it is my Mail that has received this amount. But, that's impossible, the mail size -when check on laptop through Outlook- is around 3 Mb.
Has anyone got any idea why the mail seems to think it has received 20 times this? Is it the Mail app, or Watchdog 3g pro?
I am running Modaco r11 rom, with most of superfluious components removed.
I don't think it's syncing issue Facebook or any other app. Could another app to receiving this data and it is assigned to Mail.
Just a bit confused. The same thing happened in December, but I think that was related to Advanced Task Killer Froyo, which I uninstalled and haven't had the problem since. But this does seem to happen every two to three months - wierd phantom data.
Cheers

Bumping this as again have had crazy 3g usage - 122mb in 1 day, but same as before, from mail. No way have I used that much, but Orange confirmed it. Only change us that I am.using insertion Rom.
Any ideas why my mail app seems go crazy every do often & download 'ghost' data (idea: is it stuck partially downloading something? In a kind of mobius data loop?)

If I was you I would sort the problem out. Delete the account then add it again. It seems pretty weird though.
Swyped...

default refresh values at peak times are like every 15 mins.... have you changed this?
I personally don't auto sync enabled.... only refreshes when I open

Cheers for the replies.
Hmm, I might try deleting the accounts and reinputting them. But it has happened before, and I seem to be the only one with this problem. Could it have something to do with my email provider (which is also my ISP)? Anyone got any technical knowledge about this type if thing?
The prob with manually refreshing the email is that I'm self employed and out and about alot, so need the email frequency set quite regular so I am not constantly looking at phone - it's set for every 15 mins; that said, I hadn't even set it download whole emails.
Could it be something from rooting? But that should make not difference. Or is there any malware that could be doing this...as you see, grabbing at straws here...
Oh, and the Rom I am using is Insertcoin not insertion (damn that predictive text)

[Q] combined view email sync

I have 2 email accounts set up in the email app. When I switch to combined view, the sync icon starts spinning as if it is trying to sync the email accounts, but it never stops.
Viewing either of the 2 accounts individually works correctly. Tap the sync icon, it spins for a few seconds and then stops.
This is happening now on the Galaxy Note 2 and was also happening on my SG3. Both phones are running Samsung's 4.1.1
Since I have not found any posts about this problem here, I am guessing that maybe I have something set up incorrectly in the email app?
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this problem? tia

Am I the only one having this issue? Strange.

I Have the same problem...
7 Accounts and keeps spinning, but no problems with mail coming in.

Mail seems to come through just fine for me as well. It seems like the email app is draining the battery faster since it appears to continue looking for new mail.

I don't have any problems with draining.
I noticed this problem earlier, but didn't pay any attention because everything works fine.
If anyone knows how the solve it, or why this works this way, please leave a reply..

I'm going to leave email in combined view today to get a better feel for the perceived battery problem. Could be just my perception.
Combined inbox sure makes things easier to manage.

I have been tracking this for the last couple of weeks and it appears that the email sync is not what is draining the battery so quickly.
Can't figure this battery issue out. Sometimes I only get a day or so before having to recharge and other times I'll get close to three days between charges. I've tried different combinations of turning things (wi-fi, mobile data, gps, bluetooth, etc.) on and off but can't seem to find one particular thing causing the big differences in battery usage.

[Q] Weird stock email app behaviour..

All my email is pushed to my G3. I've noticed over the past few days that my iPad and my wife's iPad and her Lumia will always get emails first, followed a few minutes later by my G3. Sometimes the emails just don't arrive on the G3 at all (I've waited 20 minutes!). I have no idea what happens to them but they won't appear on the device unless I start the email app manually.
Today I realised that if the email app is running in the background, i.e. appearing in the task switcher (or whatever it's called) it almost certainly, will not receive email. If I manually shut the app from the switcher, the emails will arrive immediately and continue to arrive as long as the email app is not open in the background!
I've restored the phone to factory settings and it still does it, albeit intermittently. I've called LG support and they don't seem to have a clue and suggest that it's an android problem as opposed to a LG problem. No surprise there!
Can anyone help please?

Hi,
I also have push email configured in my phone, and i haven't noted the behavior you comment.
Do you have any battery saver installed? Or any restriction to the background data?
Regards
Sent from my phone

No battery saver, background data on as normal. Wifi is on also.
Just tried to ping the device and no pings coming back. Looks like the wifi is going to sleep despite it being set to stay awake..
This is really strange!

Can anyone help please? My G3 is the very last device in the house to get email and many times, it's just not getting them at all.
It seems to just go to sleep and not receive pushed email!
Is android just slow at getting email?
