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.

This might seem Pedantic, but a well typed search on eBay (for me at least) found one or 2 where people have dropped their HD and now the screen broke or any number of issues. Maybe something you could work with?
Searches like "Desire HD SPARES"
or "Desire HD BROKEN" found a few butter-fingered users

I think you can buy camera from here:

SORRY GUYS the 8mp desire hd camera fitted perfect and soon as i open camera app blank black screen soo disappointing o well was worth a try
moving on ive managed to solder in some blue led bulbs in the bottom looks sick with a white housing just another mod to make the desire even cooler then what it already is
post up screen shoots soon thnx

Try one of the earlier ports of the DHD rom maybe? the ones where the camera wouldn't work, as it probably has the drivers needed for the DHD camera...which you've just installed

Just a few things...
Any rom works with NextG, you just won't get "unmetered" content due to the device id. I'm running Oxygen and it works fine with HSDPA on 850mhz. You only need to run a Telstra specific rom if you want to retain all the shortcuts to telstra services and access them "unmetered" which is useless since anything worth it, like FoxTel, you have to pay an extra subscription for anyway.
The camera is controlled by a combination of the kernel and radio firmware. Even if the DHD camera was backwards compatible (software-wise) you would still have to make modifications to make the higher settings available.
If your video recording doesn't even start then you need to update your radio firmware to a more recent one. The original radio that shipped with NextG phones (they're still shipping 2.1 as far as I know) did not allow the camera to work with 2.2+ roms.
Functional video recording has nothing to do with the SD card unless you're trying to record 720p content and the SDCard doesn't write fast enough. But it'll just "lag" in that case. Recording at a lower resolution will still work.

You'll find that the unmetered content has to do with the APN you use, and the browsers User Agent string. If you use the telstra.iph APN (no proxy details etc), and set your User Agent string correctly (cant recall the exact one required, but you can set it via the browsers debug menu), you can use any ROM you like and enjoy the unmetered content all the same
Worked perfectly fine with stock LeeDroid (not t-mod leedroid) and InsertCoin (Sense HD) roms

HTC OneX+ Housing and Battery

Hey folks,
What do you think. The size of the onex+ and onex are the same afaik. Do you think its possible to replace the housing and the battery of onex with one from the onex+ as soon they are availible in repair/replacement stores?

It would be wonderful!
I think that it can be possible since they have the same identical dimensions.
And what if we could get a mainboard too?? It would be amazing!!

Then buy a One X+ ^^ What would the difference be ?
But they don't sell the mainboards as they have Serial numbers etc... you won't see them (at least legal ways)
I am just concerned about the waranty...

I hope it wont take long till we see those parts on this page.

I would be less expensive to buy a motherboard and to sell mine instead of just buying a new phone!
however The warranty is not a problem! I've never used that in all my life for a phone!

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?

haha course not..
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

Hi, I'm a big fan HTC.As soon want to buy an HTC One X +. I was every day at Orange to see HTC One X normal and if I would take One X + I would not have to worry that theme that "Fracture and Infinite". Can someone make me has some pictures that theme. And if you could and HTC Wallpapers, simple ones. I would like to see. Sorry for my English. I'm Romanian.

Just go to the store and play with it for a while, just mention you want to buy one. I always test phones in the store !

Everyday i'm going to the store , and i see the normal One X , is so awesome.. I could not decide between One X + and normally I hear the normal version is pretty warm and One X + solved all problems. And at the shooting and FPS increased to 30 and it works very well.

Does these help

I would be grateful

These are from the original one X mate, is that what you wanted, or am i misreading it ... did you needed them from the hox+ ?

I do not know how to explain ... I see a video on youtube and One X + those skins were different .. not have "Fracture, Infinite, Şerani". One x has, but the thought of me beating me get my One X + and I love it "Fracture, infinite". HTC Wallpapers saw that is about the same, but I want a picture of the Live Wallpapers ..
EDIT : Yeah man , thanks :* you could put some pictures?
