With the other ones, it was actually quite a good place to share info about the product and recommend things without having to clutter up the general forum..

I've had mine for about a week and a half now and I love it soooo much.
Just a few questions for the club members if you get a chance - any answers might save me some heavy Googling:
1. What are the benefits of rooting? and can you link to a good guide to doing it?
2. Is there anyway to make the sound reproduction via headphones louder than it is in the default music app? - would anybody recommend a different player?
3.Could you list your top 5 Apps? (mine so far: Advanced App Killer, Google Sky Map, Google Translate, Alchemy and Realcalc).
I don't ever use a task killer unless something stops responding.. It can actually shorten your battery life, as the phone keeps having to re open apps. Android doesn't use ram in the same way as Windows, so it doesnt matter if its running at 99% full or something...
Apps I use/can be quite fun are (other than the ones you've listed):
Angry Birds
Barcode scanner
Astro File Browser
Colornote
Disk Usage
Jewels
Photobucket
SoundHound
SliceIt
Solo Lite
Talking Tom Cat
Tesco Clubcard :lol: :lol:
Tweetdeck
Unblock Me (Free)

Shouldent impact performance at all as its not needed. If it does then there is something wrong with your phone.
Oh and the main reason i like having full root (S-OFF) is because i can have an Adblock <3

Indeed....
Also, sean - whats the difference between VLC remote and Unified remote? I'm guessing VLC remote is just for VLC player, whereas Unified does everything?

VLC remote has all the options for VLC, so you can change absolutly anything in VLC. You can also open files from the built in fine manager. I use the app daily and have never been let down. its awesome :knock:

on the Vanila rom i had you could have Adblock with S-on also , so no big advantage of having S-Off relay unless you want to over-clock the phone
Just coming up to the 24 hour mark as a club member and I'm just getting more impressed by the minute. I got it for work but in fact it has prevented me doing any for the past day. Will get downloading some of the apps mentioned in the thread later on.
@Seanbond - VERY nice theme mate
Anyone have problems with their Desire restarting randomly and repeatedly out of the blue? Mines seems to get really hot and just restarts itself continuously unless i take the battery out and leave it for a while before starting it again. Its really driving me nuts as i need my phone a lot for work.

My Problem I just encountered is hooking up the Desire to Bluetooth on Windows 7 - It pairs but will not connect...the phone is greyed out in the Devices list and has no services.
Few people on-line having the same issue but no fix so far...

Funnily enough, mine has restarted a couple of times recently... Not very frequently - maybe only twice in the last 4-5 weeks, but its definitely done it randomly and by itself..
gmote is good too if your too lazy to move a mouse :D

Had the same problem connecting bluetooth to other phones...but found out you need to drag the screen down and accept the connection to another device hope that helps :)

Very weird, i only got that problem when i flashed a really low mw CPU kernel, After i upped it a bit the problem went away
its stopped doing it now for the past 2 days, but before then it was basically unusable for a week
My Desire gets very hot when playing games for any length of time. It has restarted a few times too out of the blue. I'm still running 2.2 and haven't rooted as I wouldn't even know where to start and I'm happy with it as is for now.
i never noticed mine get worm until i stuck it in a gel case thingie and now i feel it more, idk if its been the cooler weather we have had or the case is trapping the heat but its never restarted itself.
its still on an old leedroid 2.2 rom.

Everythings impossible in your eyes , but no its not , it was a bit of software that you needed to install , and instead of haveing the advert when installed it would just prevent the advert from loading

Yes , But the simple fact is even S-On users can have Adblocker , as it just blocks the ad an leaves a Loading cuircle so i assume its some form of firewall blockers that they have used , im no expert but i know what happend when i installed the program and i didn't have adverts >_>

I think thats pretty much the same as if you start an ad supported app with no data connection. It just shows the loading icon then as well, but the gap for the ad is still there..

True but its unclickable which means you dont accidently go to some daft website, Which saves time
Yeah - I was just meaning it probably works in the same way as just blocking access to the internet.. pretty much the same as what you said :lol:
So you have to have the app running all the time?

Just to let you guys know I sorted my Bluetooth issues by DLing the Widdicom BT stack..Installing over my Logitech stuff (which killed everything) and then reinstalling the Logitech Setpoint stuff.
Completely bss ackwards but that's what I've come to expect dealing with Logitech gear - 's great stuff but it doesn't play nice with the other kids in the playground.
Anyhoot now I have full Bluetooth functionality twixt phone and PC.

Dropped mine loads, not a scratch on it. Best ROM I have uses is Oxygen so far, near enough stock

Oxygen is what I'm using ATM and its almost a stock android rom so you do lose all the sense stuff but that's not my gripe, its almost doubled my latency when I tether my phone which has pretty much made it impossible to game thru it now.
Leedroid is my gave tbh.
Off topic.
Anybody know what the fup is with 3 on this all you can eat data add on? Only I can't find it and they must have some thing in place.
Try tether wirelessly, that is much better for me. Although i only get 60 ping through USB
Hmm, just scared of dropping it.
I was the same, my last phone was a blackberry bold and I had a leather case. Didn't get one for my desire and it seems really robust, dropped it, had it in my pocket with keys etc. and so far it has remained scratch free. Top phones !
i was pinging under 100 to most good game servers now im on oxy its around 200 to the same server :(

There isn't one.
I asked about the One plan and FUP and the sales guy said:
"Unlike most places, we don't have a FUP"
Surely you can just log into My3 and have a look though.
so it looks like im going back to 3 then.
screw you voda, screw you.
yea sean, i tried my old radio and it wouldnt work with this rom so got the latest one.

no, t have a crappy signal round here so do orange which is one of the reasons i left and went to voda as they do have great coverage but what i thought was 2gb/month limit turned out to be 500mb because only the iphone is classed as a smartphone by them. lol iphone better than htc i nearly choked when the cserve guy told me that on the phone.

Hi guys may be a member soon of this club if that's ok with you?
Quick question have any of you got a rooted phone? if how did you do it?
Im looking at unrevoked.
unrevoked is super easy to do and worked fine for me :D
once you start installing custom roms (if you plan to do so), make sure you do some backups - Titanium, NAND etc.
I would highly recommend rooting on the desire due to it's small internal storage!

HTC Sense is an absolute battery gobbler.
Me and my friend were using our phones a lot since he's got the Desire S and I've got the standard Desire. He's only just got his yesterday so I was showing him how to use it.
Come 1PM he's got 15% battery with HTC Sense.
I have 60% battery with standard ASOP Android.
Are you using a custom ROM toonshorty ?

Can i be in the club? had one for a while but only just noticed this thread!!!
im running my standard rom from 3 at the mo with htc sense on it and i can get 2 days battery life on it no probs (but not playing games ect as that kills the battery)
My mate has a flashed orange san fransisco and his battery life is awful, lucky if he can get a day out of it at times!!!!!
Do you use your phone ever?
I have a Desire, not currently using a custom ROM but did try one before Orange finally relented and released 2.2 for it. I do run Sense and the battery lasts all day for me, even with 2-3 hours of listening to music, playing a little game or two & with WiFi on.
It is branded but I don't mind, 1 year into a 18 month contract at £15 a month isn't bad.

What brightness do you run the screen at?
I find 40-50% saves a lot more battery than 100%.
Also, HTC Sense doesn't have great battery life.
I used to just about manage a day on HTC Sense.
I can now manage two without it.

12-05-11, 23:09
How exactly do you remove HTC Sense?
I already have the brightness at about 40% and I get about 5hrs of heavy use out of it, or 11hrs of medium use. Tried a different battery and still get the problem.

Anyone on cyanogenmod? Not sure if it's software or hardware (assuming software) but my phone keeps turning on wifi when I plug in USB. At first I assumed it was the wifi sleep policy messing with it but now it's disabled and still continues.
Hmmm sadly going back to sense for the time being...Require a fair bit of GPS directions and the volume bug with cyanogenmod/gingerbread means that it's no use. Trying to search for fixes for this seems to be a pain...anyone heard anything that works?
Also thought gingerbread was updating OTA but thats on the desire HD :facepalm:

Works 100% in Oxygen 2.1, i use it a fair bit
And there will be a 2.3 ATO now
You used it with headphone jack? That's the only problem with it, and I was under the impression it was a gingerbread bug. Really hard to search for things like this you just get loads of people asking and not many answers. Will give oxygen another go :)
Without A2SD don't think I could really use my phone like I would like so will probably stick to custom roms. That being said HTC said they were cutting out some pre-installed apps for gingerbread so might be better than before, never know :)
I much prefer stock roms anyway, and yeah even A2SD is hard for me, Delvik cache on the SD is the only solution
Had the volume bug on my new HTC desire hd with 2.2 so I sent it to be checked out by HTC , they replaced the phone and now I have 2.3 not custom and I love it !

Oxygen is running a lot better than last time I tried it...might have forgot to wipe caches or something :S
Think the navigation bug does not exist on it so it's perfect :D
The best ROM out there imo, just updated to 2.1.4 today actually
Just ordered a desire s on a new contract, should be here monday, so can i join this exclusive club? lol.. Also comes with stock 2.3 i think, recommend a rom?
At the moment the Desire S has a locked bootloader so no rooting or roms at the moment, however HTC should unlock the bootloader with the next update and AlphRevX are close to a software S-Off.
ah well just had email saying my new shiny phone will be here tomorrow.
Hopefully the s will be able to be rooted soon! :).

I've found a great little way of saving battery.
It works on Gingerbread ASOP ROMs but I've not tried Sense ROMs.
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings
Click menu button on phone and click 'Advanced'.
Set 'Wi-Fi sleep policy' to Never.
This will mean your phone will keep a constant Wi-Fi session.
I find it's actually better since it means your phone has Wi-Fi as soon as you want it and it also means the phone uses less battery trying to find a Wi-Fi network.
It actually saves a lot of battery.
It does work, most custom Roms have it set to never by default

Hi, I have just got my HTC Desire HD last week and its been great so far, over the weekend i tested the battery life, fully charged at 2pm on Friday, today i still had about half/quater of the battery left. Just goes to show if you tweak a few settings you can get a decent lengh of time out of one of these phone.

Have you got WIFI or 3G on all the time? or do you turn it off when not in use?

Looks similar to the rom ive been using for the last few months :) i saw the thread about android revolution yesterday when i last looked on xda might give it a go.
definitely worth a go really smooth and feels like a new phone.
very quiet here so i thought this may be of some interest, the case part ive tested and its true the case has a massive impact on reception.

Hi guys, i am very new to the whole rooting and ROM thing, can someone please explain what it is, and would it be worth doing?
Thanks, Dan :thumb:

that section is for the desire hd, idk if those roms work on the older desire :|
dan rooting it opens up the phone so you can get it to run more types of software, both os and apps.
It can be complicated if you have a branded phone you would need a gold card that's a sd card hacked with an hex editor to flash the phone with an older 2.2 Rom that is not locked to rooting.
Then its just a case of s off and eng off both modify the HTC bootloader to allow clockwork mod and new better radios to be flashed.
Yes newer roms are a lot better I'm on a beta release of 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 this will never be released for our phones.
If you want help I've made a gold card for my phone and flashed ext4 recovery its simple if you follow exactly what the how to's tell you to do.

Blimey, I'm liking this.
MIUI-XJ with WiFi turned to always on.
Been using phone since 10AM this morning so it's done 12 hours and the battery is at 86%.
That's pretty good if you ask me.
Even under heavy usage all day it'll do 65%.
So much better than HTC Sense ROMs which after 6 hours are at like 24%.

Ive tried miui and whilst they look quite nice its too much like an iphone for me, a question tho everytime ive used one of the miui roms i cant get the vibrate on keypress to work, like when your typing a text or email it just doesnt seem to work?

install spare parts and use it to turn on haptic feedback.
Any one planing on upgrading to sense 3.0-3.5? if you do and log onto your dropbox from the phone you get 3GB upgrade for 3.5 it can be 5GB.
Seems HTC just partnered with dropbox.
I will be when its fully working :)
I got my 3GB's a week ago and i didn't no why untill today.
your running a sense 3.5 rom then? which one?
Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.1 but sense 3.0 i got 3gb upgrade 5gb is for 3.5.

hmmm was already enabled...? ive just installed version 1.10.14 of miui and its still not vibrating on keypress :(
have you tried settings>sound>vibrate feedback?
p.s my phone going in for repairs on Monday the screen has lifted on the right hand bottom corner :(.

Oh, I have that problem.
MIUI seems to have issues with haptic feedback, it doesn't work on the keyboard.
You'll have to flash CM7, Oxygen 2.3 or an HTC Sense ROM for that sadly.

Yeah i have :(
It has vibrate on menu button presses etc but just not in messaging
Added after 6 minutes:
*EDIT*
ah ha, changing the keyboard does the job now to find a nice one that doesnt cost anything, any suggetions
Try language and keyboard> touch input> text input there is a setting for vibrate.
