Some questions about the Desire

Hey,
I'm in need of a new phone, so I googled a bit and found a list of the and the 15 best mobile phones in the world and the first was the Desire, and I have some questions about it:
1. Is it really the best phone (in term of hardware.. not the design because its obvious that it isnt the best), why?
2. Does it still have the Multitouch problem of the Nexus? Does it bother in daily use?
3. Does it have limited space to install apps? How much? Why do they do that?
4. I saw a video of the Incredible connected to the TV, can the Desire do the same?
5. Does it have sensors like the iphone has for games?
I'm asking those questions because the phone that i will buy is going to stay with me for ~4 years so i want it to be good for me.
I will use it for everything - calling,videos,music,gaming,browsing..

any reply? I need help so i can choose

No there shouldn't be any difference. They are the exact same phone minus a few small differences.

Pretty sure you will run out of space. I have maybe 2 new 3d games and a few other basic apps and I am already out of space.
But the phone is great, although like every phone, it has it's flaws. You should read the forum as all these topics are discussed in detail.

The more I read about the phone the less i want it! according to this forum its full of flaws/bugs.
But then I read the "Is the Desire actually any good?" thread and lots of replies were very positive so I hope i will have the same feeling when I will get mine.

Reading forums for information is good. But don't base your decision on forum users.
Consider this: If you think there's nothing wrong with your phone, you wouldn't come here to start a thread saying "Hey, my phone is awesome! There's nothing wrong with it!"
So, forum threads are generally going to be negative. I started a thread on flaws & annoyances. But I love the device. I think it's the best I've ever owned.
Therefore, check out the specs page, read the manual, read reviews, and watch video reviews. Then make your own decision.

I saw the incredible connected to the tv:

Can the Desire do the same?

No tv-out for Desire.

It looks like the Incredible uses the Micro USB port to charge and connect to the TV. Could the Desire be the same?

[Q] HTC One X vs SGS3

Hi,
I do know that's more or less an old topic but well...I have a big dilemma so maybe you should help me out.
I'm owning a SGS3 int. and well I'm more or less fine with it; I choosed it over HOX mainly because of chance to change battery and winner cpu/ram benchmark (with 15/20% more in every damn test) and a bigger screen (not much but better then nothing).
The dilemma started 1 week ago when a friend of mine bought the HOX and well...the screen seems really so much better in HOX.
At the same time, despite few games lag on HOX, the Tegra has some optimized game for it giving some cool effect.
I mainly use the phone to watch movie and play videogames so, in some way, HOX win for me (at least just watching it) so I was thinking to chance my SGS3 for an HOX but I wanted to ear your opinion, hoping that will not start flame or fan boy reply.
I am really interested in opnions of who maybe tried both or who maybe changed his SGS3 for the HOX (like I'll probably do asap).
Thanks,
Max

There have already been similar threads like this one you should really go searching for them. Cause frankly everyone on this forum is sick of it.

tons of info in the One X mega information thread
and shadehh is right please enough with these comparison threads, they are against XDA rules
few moments now and this thread will be flooded by fools
to mods: we need a sticky please saying comparison threads are not allowed

You have a SGS3 so you already know its strengths and weaknesses. Your friend has a One X so you can figure out what its strengths and weaknesses are specific to the way you'll use it. Like others just said, there are tons of threads discussing the two phones. That should be more than enough for you to make an informed decision. Personally, I don't get "what should I buy?" threads. Everyone uses their phones differently and has different needs and criteria. Do some research and buy what you think is best. That seems more logical than making a decision based on the advice of total strangers.

well i had an amoled screen before and i got to tell u that i prefer the LCD. i am more with ur opinion but that wouldnt make me change the s3 is the battery .it is something that some times u want to have more than anything else.thats the only minus in hox the battery everything else i think are the same with s3

Actually we need some good discussion thread with protagonists antagonists for each phone where every one can say what it is they like about their phone (or disliked on the other).
Anyway I bought the HOX before the SGS3 came out but before the SGS3 came out I already knew Samsung would blow HTC away with its hardware specs but I own a SGS2 and a Desire so I know a bit about the difference in user experience and the whole time I used the SGS2 I was disappointed because i missed all those little Sense touches. Sense just is the best mobile user experience period, nothing comes close in software polishedness (not "even" ios), everything just works and everything is integrated into each other; eg. open the gallery app and see the galleries from your friends there, or browse contacts and go directly to their galleries, the htc keyboard is pretty damn good; I bought swiftkey x when using the sgs2 but I am using just the default keyboard; duplicate contacts are automatically merged in sense; and there is so, so much more; really there is only one touchwiz feature I miss in Sense and that's the smart alarm function....
If your thing is showing of quadrant scores though don't get the hox

The rules sticky already says that. It's just that no-one ever reads it.

SGS3 Sucks . If you are not a fanboy sell it and get HOX . I have used both.

But hasn't this been done? To death? It's all just opinion and there's rarely agreement amongst owners better yet any type of common ground that would hold up in a comparison. Name one feature of the SGS3 or One X that doesn't already have commentary running on it. I don't know whether I'm a protagonist or antagonist (maybe I'm both?) but I'm tired of the circular debates that lead nowhere, don’t change anyone's opinion, and consistently end with the thread being locked. Yesterday's One X vs. SGS3 comparison thread covered race and sexual orientation. Do you really want to go there again?
There’s already a 160 page SGS3 vs. One X comparison thread in the i9300 forum. Why doesn’t everyone use that as the “official” comparison thread? I guarantee you anything anyone wants to discuss has been covered at least a dozen times there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652250

because for each and everyone it's a different discussion, everyone has their own things they think are important and their own things they think are less important

Thread closed.
Comparison thread are finish.

Regarding Htc One X?

Hey Guys! I just ordered my new Htc One X and am going to receive it in a day or so! So I would Like to ask you soem questions:
1) Guys is there A simple Rooting/modding Thread for The Htc One X?
2) I have heard that Htc phones are hard to root Is that so?
3) Should i stick with Sense or Root my phone As i did with my previous device (GIO)
4) The Sim Pin Thingy! Is there something else that can open the tray
5) Any Solution To the Frame Rate Problem ?
6) Which one is sexier White or Black? ( Just need two or three opinions)
7) Is there a free Marketplace or any good site to Download Tegra 3 games I'm 14 so yea I dont like to pay for my Games .
So thanx for all your Replies If i posted in the wrong Forum Plz Admin Shift it As this is unfamiliar Territory

You need to be better at using the search feature as some of the questions are already well answered here.
1. There's a sticky for this. You cannot miss that.
2. Probably not, but it may get harder unless HTC relax their stand. A Galaxy Nexus is a better choice if you want to tinker.
3. Your call really and comes down to personal preference. The new 2.15 rom should bring a performance boost to the sense UI so should be quite good.
4. A straightened stapler pin should do or so should any thin object of that type.
5. Not sure about this, but i have read that there was a bespoke fix to increase both frame rate and data.
6. White - Unless you work in a coal mine...
7. No idea but this is not encouraged here...Best to read forum rules, Rule 6 in your case in particular.
Lastly read read and read the posts as there are a lot of people contributing and discussing both experiences and solutions...

Yea I went through ton of posts but thanks for the sticky It will really help Me But i think I am better Of with Stock sense and About 5) My friend's one x Has Crappy FPS But wat can u do Oh yea Sorry for Posting that . i read the Rules After Posting And another Question Does Your One X Lag Of any sorts and what amount of ram is free Cheers

No problem.
The stock International One X does have a bit of lag here and there and is quite unusual for such a device. Mind you like I said, this is probably due to the enhancements missed in the stock version and the latest leaked 2.15 rom does put an end to that misery. As with RAM, I have about 200MB free.
I have a few widgets that need updating and therefore sometimes the screen transitions stutter but I am quite content with the fact that a fix is on the way from HTC. Besides I felt that the Android 4.0.4 release in general made that experience better, so the new HTC OTA should work on the same lines.

Damn Your Htc Takes Up lots of Ram ! My Friend's Take's Up around 680 and He is left with 320 mb Ram . I think it is because Of Sense But still 800 mb Used! That is too much ! But ill Be waiting for The Sense Upgrade to 4.1 to fix all of this

I see a lot of Roms... Are any 4.1 roms good enough for daily drivers?

I've been reading alot...and... well I'm not sure. I returned my Nexus 4, for various reasons. So I am looking at either the GNII (Note 2), or the GS3.
I am on AT&T btw.
I am mainly wanting a good CM-AOKP rom that will give me stock goodness with all the extra lovely settings. I'd rather not have anything experimental.
Someone told me this phone was just recently unlocked? If he was correct? So am I to assume there are no good daily driver roms?

Can people for god sake stop posting questions in random sections and post in Q&A section?
to be nice an answer your question no one can answer that what fits someone else wont fit you its a trial and error thing, just keep try them until you find the one best suited for you...

Are you looking to buy an at&t version? If yes then this is not the right forum. This is for international GN III. Recently unlocked? You mean verizon GN III bootloaders? If yes then please read more before buying

what? the last part makes no sense at all. and wrong section bro

I'm still on stock and don't intend to switch until something really interesting comes along. has been treating me great and it's fast without all the trouble of custom roms.

[Poll and Discussion] HTC One M8 or Galaxy S5

Which of the two do you prefer and why? I'd like to hear especially from those who have used both phones. I've used the M8 and was quite impressed, but haven't used the S5 yet.

Indeed. I'm going to post the same poll over on the S5 forum and see what the results look like. I'm curious to see if the forum section causes that much bias

S5 has KNOX. That is a non-starter.

I am fairly brand unbiased, and am back and forth between the S5 and M8 forums. I figure there will be others doing the same. I have put the same poll in each forum, and there are more advocating for the M8 in both. Not trying to troll

Please link the poll on the S5 forum but these results will all be tainted either way. Honestly all you can do is wait to see actual people’s reactions to the good and the bad that both phones will enviably have and choose the lesser of the two evils.
I currently have my M8 and really like it although there are something’s I don't like (lack of "Okay, Google" except in the Google now program, can't put DashClock as the main widget, and actually I met with my parents for lunch today who are both on old ass phones and they had better speed tests than me.... I tried updating the PRL but I had zero service when they had weak LTE/3g for Sprint.
