Hello everybody. I'm interested in buying an HTC Desire as I found a nice offer and have been following Android developement for a while.
There is a big question mark though, and it's the infamous "sms to wrong receiver" bug. It has been spotted a few times in the past, and even though it's pretty rare I'd like to be sure that it may never occur.
I heard that update 2.3.2 for nexus S fixes this one, is there a solution for the Desire?
Thanks for your help
I think the solution is wait for Gingerbread... I hope we get 2.4 or at least 2.3.3...

Are there custom Roms which state clearly to have taken care of this issue and solved? Yeah this is a big concern for me
factor reset
maybe work
The problem is with the stock android sms app, as it doesn't just send it to the wrong contact, but somehow you end up in the wrong thread because of it handling jumping in and out of the app in an odd way. So using another sms app like chomp or handsend should resolve it.
Personally i haven't had it happen to me on the htc sms app either, and i've been using the phone for more than a year.
Also there is of course the roms based on vanilla 2.3.3 like oxygen, which should include the fix for the std. sms app.
edit: 123xdagsm that just shows, that you have no idea, what this bug is about.. No factory reset will of course not help, and if you read the thread you would know that he haven't even bought the phone yet.

It happened to me few times that a wrong thread opened.
Never had problem with phone sending to wrong person!
Android 2.3.2 has the SMS fix, the new Gingerbread custom ROMs have all have updated to 2.3.3 so they have the fix.
Thank you all for support, I'm now considering buying a Nexus S as I don't want to mess with ROMs that much (I guess I'll change my mind soon though ). If I can't find it with a decent price a Desire with a 2.3.2+ ROM is my choice!
Hi guys,
new newb here, i just had a question, i recently purchased Desire HD (3 months ago) since then i hear alot of ginger bread and all other versions coming out...but doesnt seem HTC is bothering to provide the firmware upgrade for Desire HD ..apart from the guys giving their Mods here..
Do i understand this correctly?
Laughter.
GB has started to be rolled out in Europe. As always with OTA ROM upgrades, patience is the key.
[EDIT] There's a thread dedicated to this subject on this very forum:

i think i'll go the naughty way, whats the worst, a bricked phone good for hitting lizards with!
That's the attitude I like to see.
BTW, I edited my original reply with link to thread on update thread.

As a rule, bricked is bricked is bricked.
There are rumblings of fixes involving soldering resistors to a USB cable but nothing confirmed, that I know of.
For the moment, assume no fix. If bricked it will need to go back to HTC.
Sorry if that sounds nooby

No worries. It's what we're here for.
Thx m8 will avoid that at all cost lol

You can flash a ROM with out messing around with the radio, which is what can get your device bricked. Plus there's a Gingerbread ROM of the latest build (2.36) you can flash without even having your device rooted... search for ROM 2.36 and you'll find it plus instructions on how to.
Happy flashing
Is it the same version like the leaked one?
Lol I have flashed so much ****, from so many people, to so many devices. I follow the directions and xda-devz never fail me
I recommend leedroid or rc's if you like sense or cm7 for overall pwnage.

Is there any forum which inform which radio to be use with which rom, as to avoid any bricked from happen? Or something which we must not do as can cause bricked etc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Mate, you cannot brick it unless you do something stupid in command line. Really any wrong flash combination is recoverable.

For Lee's rom, he usually specifies what radio will be better suited and a link to radio as well in the first post.
Hi,
Is S-ON required to revert wildfire to stock froyo ROM after S-OFF and Root
Wildfire A3333
RemPuzzleROM
S-OFF
No if you use an ruu I think it will update your hboot and turn s back on, however you can get a safe ruu which doesn't contain hboot.img so you'll keep s off.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
OP - No, You can flash an RUU even in S-OFF state. It will still work fine. (Obviously, remember to get back to S-ON in case you are returning the phone to claim warranty)
Scratch, You seem a bit busy today mate.

I've been staying away kind of, still checking everyday to see if any new developments pop up and trying to help a few, I've even gone back to a froyo Rom as I'm sick of breaking cm7.
Patiently waiting till I can afford my upgrade.

Mmmmmm this is very strange!!! I was just thinking the same as Yoda and yesterday flashed a froyo due to boredom! Lol back on cm7 again already though. Got to play with sg2 unrooted at wkend and although its a huge beast I was impressed. Love the easy system font changability.
What you upgrading to scratch?
And lets say if money was not an issue ..... what would you guys get?

I know that feeling. Happened quite a few times. (And I am still not switched to my SGS2 100%. Paranoid of using it here in "Super Dense Crush Load" Public Transport)
I was thinking of the experia arc, on offer at phones 4 u for £230 with my upgrade I should get it for 200. But I'm not sure think I might go in the shop and play with some first.
If money was no object I think I'd buy them all mate just because I could!

I've been looking around for a few pointers on how to get stock-froyo back on my wildfire currently on cm7.
Nice to see that just flashing the right RUU will do the trick, but how do I find the right RUU? Have been looking at shipped-roms.com but I can't really figure it out.
Also, are there any tricks to flashing a RUU (read: how do I do that?)
- Sincerely

T Mobile has the Atrix for something like 15 pounds a month, problem is, there's more ICS development on the Wildfire than on the Atrix. Oh, and pi have to pay 50 upfront. But I think that covers the HD dock that comes with it.

well i recently got a g2. it is currently unlocked but i want to get it rooted too. will the rooting affect the status of it being unlocked? it is tmobile branded so i am guessing it will unlocked by typing in a special code? thanks. also how can i root the phone? just send me a link. i am experienced in rooting as i have a rooted epic 4g and also my girlfriend galaxy 2.
No rooting and unlocking are two seperate things and don't affect one another. Not @ a computer so just google the link try "htc g2 root wiki" will be one of the first hits I'm sure. Read first make sure you understand, having said that its safe and easy

how do i know which is the appropriate clockwork recovery for my phone? i think i need the first one ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0:?
Any for the vision will work, you can always upgrade later. And in the future I recomend 4ext but it is mostly prefrence

thanks. almost done. going smoothly. not really liking the phone. isnt comparable to the epic 4g or the galasxy s2. might just sell it after i do this
Lot of people seem to think this way, personally I love this phone and for my needs there isn't a better one out there. I doubt ill buy a new one for years

If you plan on unlocking your bootloader via the HTC Dev route then not really.

It might affect your ability to get S-Off, but we don't know as we don't have S-Off.

You should go root, update, and flash a custom ROM. From my experience, my One X is my first super phone after jumping over from a crappy Nokia phone.
The first day when I got my phone, I got all excited with playing around it. I've been reading lots of stuff here on XDA. It was very tempting to root in on day one, but I managed to let it stay. But immediately, the day after, I risked it all and tried to root it, even if I don't have any experiece or background on handling an Android device.
All the hardwork payed off and just this morning, I updated my phone to ARHD 7.2.0 on stock kernel. Everything feels better right now than what I had on day 1.
But in the end, it is still your choice if you want to hack your phone or not. But trust me, it's worth it.

Totally agree. I've had Android for a while now and my first few I kept stock for that reason, the OTA updates. Kept my Hero and Desire on stock. I then got a DHD and now have a One X and both of these I rooted and flashed custom ROMs and can honestly say was best decision I made. There are spme quality ROMs and developers in this community. As long as you do your research you shouldn't find it too hard, theres very good guides on here. I am also running ARHD 'cause I like the stock look but its so much smoother and quicker. Most devs are also very good at keeping up with the official updates too (If not quicker in many cases.).
Like monchee said its your choice, but personally I don't think I could have a device now without root and custom ROM!
Hope this helps

You need to unlock bootloader to get root too.
I would suggest waiting at least a couple of weeks to see if you have any defects as HTC are refusing to repair unlocked phones in many instances.

Of course. I just tought the officiall htc ota's would do their job better. I had a legend before i bought the one x and i really enjoyed s-off,cwm and root.
