The Official HTC Desire Thread

Still keeping the same take on PSP?? :-P:-P

Yes absolutely, yes graphics are good, but so are in PSP as well, despict of having a less powerful processor, but the device is specifically made for gaming and so is enhanced that way. Plus the PS like controls, hardware buttons, 4.7" screen makes its a far enjoyable experience, not to forget gazillions of titles available for the same. Recently I played "Resistance 2" on it and thoroughly enjoyed. FIFA, World Snooker Champion ship, Virtual tennis..... all are one of my best games on PSP. I can pass hours n hours on it without feeling fatigue. Which is not necessarily possible with a mobile .....

^ I know a mobile cannot replace a PSP easily

This 2 player Air hockey game might pose more of a problem..

Air Hockey - Multi Touch

And can you test divx playback on RockPlayer if you dont mind. Playback of DVD avi rips and maybe a 720p file please

[kalpik]

Well, the best thing to test the multitouch bug is to install multitouch visible test (Multitouch Visible Test - Android app on AppBrain), and try to do this: Is multitouch broken on the Nexus One? Sort of… – Android and Me

yes it does shows a problem when two fingers are brought too close, otherwise its ok ..... AFA fingues are apart things are fine, when brought too close together, things are messed ....

Well I am not sure how much of this is gonna impact in real life situation, except maybe gaming, but that too I guess would be rare .......

Will try to test the Divx playback as well ..... "Rocker Player" is it the best out there for divx playback ..... and do you know the divx profile that would play on this phone ....... ??

Yes, they are pretty rare situations...

I dont know what profiles RockPlayer supports. It's specs list everything, but no idea how well it actually plays on the device. Would be great if you can test different profiles (with different .avi and .mkv), it also supports subtitles..would be great if you can test that too. hope I'm not asking too much

Came across this article. A bit of OT, but thought it will be useful to us..

Thanks! Good Share!. It shows that Samsung has fscked up nicely with the so called RFS.

I will stay away from Quadrant scores.

Thats a really good share, thank you for bringing this up ..... isnt this the same score that was shared a few pages back to boast GS scores ...

I will test the divx playback and report ...... no issues.

[dreamcatcher]

Yea.Samsung rolls out "official" updates to "de-warrantize" phones. XD Epic. XD

[sam9s]

Android users....., I am trying to find a way to save SMS in my own custom created folders, and I am having a hell of a time finding a way for that. I mean there are zillions of ways to take a backup on to your SD card or Gmail account but non to just create my own folder and save the SMS .....
Anyway out there ... ???

[kalpik]

Hmm.. Tried Handcent? It is DE FACTO SMS app on android.. Everyone uses it, and it has EVERYTHING you will ever need SMS wise

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

I got AWESOME news for you Desire people

2.2 Update official for India! HTC releases Android 2.2 update for 'HTC Desire' in India | Androidos.in

Now where's my treat?

[sam9s]

^^Handcent does not let you custom folders to save your SMS. I dont need anything except to save my SMSs under my custom folders ........... Strange with such huge customization Android does not have this facility, and on the top of that no developer has created any application for the same. I was able to find one for my images, pretty cool, but nothing for SMS.

[kalpik]

No reaction to the 2.2 news?

[drumster]

2.2 is here Kalpik beat me to it I am waiting to get to a wifi spot to update my phone. meanwhile if anyone has applied the Froyo update then do let us know your reactions....

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

I think its time to change the title of this thread to Official HTC Desire thread...

[sam9s]

^^ I doubt a rooted phone will take the official 2.2 update ..... So I am not that excited ...... as loading a Custom ROM is something I am a bit skeptical to do ......

BTW I am still searching to that "way" to create custom folders to save my SMS ....

[darksideofchand]

Am yet to get the notification for the Froyo update. The release is (pleasantly) faster than expected!

[sam9s]

[/COLOR]I think its time to change the title of this thread to Official HTC Desire thread...

No a bad idea,.....I guess I now have played around this phone enough to share any setting/customization one might need or share ...... searched gazillions markets for the perfect app I might need ..... so yea we all can use this thread for the same ....

[sam9s]

Android Users .... I found this Beautiful Clock/Weather widget, its paid buy worth every penny, its called Beautiful Widget and its got tons of setting and more than 100 skins to try for, worth a try ....

Check out my latest Home screen....

[darksideofchand]

Got the update for Froyo! It was not an automated notification, but checked for updates through "About Phone" and got the update. It's a fairly large download (close to some 93MB). So, enabled the download and went off to sleep and installed it in the morning. The installation itself was a breeze. Haven't explored much to comment on the new features or the much talked about performance boost yet. Only visible change being some improvements in the Messages application. Will update with any marked improvements in other areas after playing around during the day.

[drumster]

For a complete list of Froyo features on Desire you guys can check this one out:

New features of FroYo summarized! [Updated: Aug 06, 2010 @ 17:30] - xda-developers

I can already see an improvement in Battery life on my phone.

[rhitwick]

@Sam, that's a paid application

[kalpik]

@Sam, that's a paid application

Yes, but IMO THE BEST app on Android! Worth buying man! Just a few bucks!

[amitabhishek]

How did you buy a paid application?

[kalpik]

How did you buy a paid application?

Use MarketAccess! MarketAccess [AMIP now playing]

[amitabhishek]

My bad! What I meant was the payment part? How did the OP pay?

[kalpik]

My bad! What I meant was the payment part? How did the OP pay?

Just add your CC to Google Checkout (from PC), and then you can buy from phone

[sam9s]

@Sam, that's a paid application

Yes its paid but trust me its a worth download and its not like very high priced, I bought it for 100 Yen, which is like 60INR, so big deal.

How did you buy a paid application?

By Using MarketAccess and opening an account with Google Checkout, i was hoping for a paypal transaction but since its Android, Google's gonna push his services more, so the only option was through GC, and no Paypal.......but its easy just register your CC with GC and thats it ....... when you click buy it asks you to confirm the order and thats it, You get a receipt with complete details of the product purchased in you Gmail account ...

About update, yea I can see that too in my phone, ...... but I am sure the moment I update I am gonna loose the Root access ........ anybody can point me to a working good rooting the official Froyo 2.2 guide for Desire ...... though I am knocking the Doors of uncle Google as well ........

edited: to post in new thread instead.

[kalpik]

Like I said before, please open another thread for wave.. Not related to this topic.

[drumster]

Exactly! Why post wave stuff here?! Kalpik you really need to rename this thread to HTC Desire OWners discussion, because that is what is happening in this thread now.
