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.

HTC media link dgh 100 incompatible with HTC ONE X

Purchased a HTC DGH 100(good old media link) last week off ebay after checking if its compatible with HTC one X and was under the impression that it is compatible but plays media in a lower resolution.
Received it today and tried pairing it with my Htc one X (i was so excited that I literally wanted to jump) and after trying for nearly an hour, I gave up and called up HTC customer service.
Spoke to a nice lady(sarcasm) over the phone who initially said to me "We are sorry sir, but we do not provide troubleshooting support for HTC Media Link". After a few mins of a heated argument regarding how crappy their customer service is, I finally got to speak to speak to her manager who was very nice(sarcasm again) and told me that htc media link is not compatible with htc one x and after showing them this link
http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/DG_H100.aspx
where "under category and cables" it mentioned htc one x, they agreed that there was a mistake on their website. I have been advised by HTC that they will try getting back to me with a resolution and advised me "we are not promising you anything" like they are warning me.
Will update the post soon with their resolution or any updates on this but just wanted to tell every one pathetic the HTC customer service is.

Crap, and they still havn't fixed the site

their customer service is really bad
i wudnt be surprised if they dont get back to me or fix up their website given how bad they were on the phone.

That's is terrible, HTC should really pull thier fingers out of their backsides and get the accessory released, I've had the dock, media link on order from amazon for 6 weeks now and they have failed to supply them.
I think you have grounds for a refund as it dosent work as advertised, have you contacted the seller?.
Also if it is DLNA can you not try one of the DLNA streaming apps from the marketplace?

I have contacted the seller but can't blame him as he asked me to check with HTC regarding the compatibility before I buy it. I asked if HTC could do anything to fix it or replace it with media link hd, but they said that they won't and after threatening them about taking this on fb,Twitter etc.. they said they will look into it. Lol, funny how I never use fb/Twitter unless I have a complain against some organization

I thought they advertised it originally to allow all hdmi TVs to have DLNA added so you could stream from computers etc - I originally looked at it but got a bluray player instead ( cheaper at the time).
Imediashare lite should find it on your network. Keep us posted

The problem with imediashare is that my tv doesn't have DLNA n the so called media link has a closed software/hardware that doesn't lt the one x connect to media link using any other hardware. They better come up with a resolution or I am going the galaxy way

Your not the first and won't be the last, I'm also thinking of changing, unless htc get s-off and actually release updates to the UK I'm out probo for good. So near yet so far.... The older medialink should be compatible end of there is no excuse for it to be incompatible with future models. Because of this thread I think I will be cancelling my media link as it won't be compatible with future models.

It really is a shame considering I spent $780 on my new phone and media link only to be told that I have to sort things out myself. Oh and I haven't even started talking about screen flickering which hasn't gone away even after swapping the handset.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

Update 15 may 2012
HTC calls me and tells me that media link is compatible and when I ask them to help me fix it, they give up and request for more time to come up with a resolution.
On a sidenote, they are yet to fix up their mistake on the website and worse, they have added a few more phones to the list(like sensation,explorer etc) that I think may not be compatible.
Good going HTC(pun intended)!

Update 15 may 2012
Got a call back again and was asked to update the firmware which I did already. I was then asked to give out the imei of my handset to which I denied and then I was told to provide them with the software/firmware version of one x. After telling them that I have one device with 1.29 and the other with 1.26, they came up with a crappy excuse that it only works with 1.28!!!I then told them that it was ridiculous and they had no idea as to what they were talking and were coming up with crappy excuses. They then advised me that they can only help if I gave them the imei number and when I requested them to put that line in writing and email me so that I could use it for legal purposes I was advised that they will call me tomorrow to help me fix the problem.
Luckily Australian laws are consumer friendly and if not resolved in a few days, I am knocking the doors of the consumer affairs.

Getting HTC One X working with Media Link
If you upgrade the firmware on the Media Link, this should work.
Steps:
1. Download the HTC Media Link ROM Update for HTC Desire HD (1.11.0.0)
(You have to search for this, as I don't have the right to post links in the forums yet)
2. Hold the power button on the Media Link and then plug it into your PC using the included USB cable. After 2-3 seconds, it should start flashing orange and green.
3. Open the Media Link ROM Update executable file.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen until the Media Link has been updated to ROM version 1.11.0.0
5. Plug in Media Link to TV and use as normal.

Should I get 'SH25' batch HOZ??

hello members,
I've been waiting for quite a while to get HOX....at last time has arrived for me....
But for my bad luck, HOX from SH25 batches are only available in my area(INDIA).
So, I just want your opinion on this, as it from MAY batch, i'm doubtful about its hardware issues
the question is; SHOULD I BUY HOX FROM SH25 BATCH??
IS THERE ANY HARDWARE ISSUES WITH THOSE BATCH HOX?

I have one of those and so far so good
Only problem is the wifi, and the fact I got a variant 2, but everything else is perfect

Well, they're not really different versions. Sounds more like binning to me, with the bin written to the chip.

I have the Grey SH25FW since a month now and its been running awesome ! No issues at all :fingers-crossed:
Simply loving it..

If you read bigoliver's thread there's plenty of people owning sh/ht 25 that got the wifi problem.
If possible try to get a unit from a newer batch like July. Maybe go to different stores in different cities.

DEAD One X, in search for a good parts seller...

Hi all,
I have a One X (thanks god mine is fine ) and my cousin had another. His One X is now DEAD, it worked fine for about 15 days, but after a fall from a height of about 1,2m (4 feet) it simply turned off a refused to turn on again.
It doesn't turn on the led while trying to charge, it doesn't respond to any command.}
I have oppened his One X (I have a lot of experience fixing simple stuff inside phones) and didn't find anything out of the ordinary in it. Nothing abnormal.
We have already sent it to a repair store here in Brazil (and now you know part of my problem) and the store told us there was a problem in the main board and that they can't fix it.
So I'm asking you guys, can you give me an address (online one) of a good and respected phone parts store? That way I could change his board and give life back to his phone.
I have changed some parts of his phone iwth mine, and the parts are working (screen is without a single scratch and works), antennas, power connector and etc...
So the problem should really be the main board (the one with the Tegra 3 in it).
Please treat it as a no warranty device, we already gave up sending the device to england to fix it. UK UNLOCKED GREY DEVICE!
Thanks in advance.

I already buy a battery on this site and no problem.

Thanks, I've seen they do have the main board, but it is unavaiable and saing to ask them about it. I will do it, since I want to help my cousin with his phone, and do think they probably don't have it in stock because it is probably an item that doesn't have the same number of requests as smaller or more breakable (screen for example) items.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep you posted about the results.
Greetings, Santroph.

I hope for you and your cousin that you find a solution to this problem.

I don't think the main can be available anywhere..as it costs as much as a new phone..
It's impossible to get unless some1 has a scrap phone..

Well I'm not really tring to sell it, or even buy a used Main Board (although that could work also). The main reason is to try to fiz the phone, and not sell as a broken one. What TG64 sent me was a nice store that do have the Main Board. I just don't know yet how much it would cost, and if it would be a prohibitive price or not.
When I get to know I'll surely post it here.
Main boards shouldn't cost as much as a phone. Even if they are a big part of the cost, the screen is also another big part of the cost of a complete phone. In my opinion the price for each should be more like 35% of a new phone for the main and 30% for the screen.
If it is like that, it surely is better than buying a whole new phone.
Cheers,
Santroph.

I have the 4.2.2. But thats the android version. I think this is nothing to do with it. We have to look for htc software. I tought htc has give a little update for the accesoires like the mini+ and the fetch a little while ago. But this is doesnt work.

Only android 4.3 will work because that's the only version that have the bluetooth 4.0 LE

Guys I've seen HTC fetch, and in HTC website only says:
Compability: HTC One mini, HTC Butterfly s, HTC One max
http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-fetch/
has anyone tested it with 4.3 sense 5.5?

This requires the new version on bluetooth in 4.3. Since not all HTC Ones have 4.3 yet, my guess is they can't advertise the compatibility

This seems much better, but no android support:

It works with the HTC One (installed CustomROM with Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5) without any problems:

Today was the official update to 4.3 and sense 5.5 from Htc and the fetch works now fine finally.

Its a very cool product....Is it available on Amazon...??

I had been watching it on Amazon for a while. Ridiculously high price. Best Buy recently started carrying them for a much better price. Had to order on line and have it shipped, but I think shipping was free at the time and it arrived sooner than anticipated. Pretty fun device, but driving people in my office crazy when I leave my phone on my desk to go to the restroom and the Fetch is in my pocket.
Now we just need to get some devs interested in some tweaks and tricks using HTC's published SDK.
