HTC Desire - User Reviews

  • This was the best smartphone used. Looked so good, the UI was still consistent on Android, thanks to HTC widgets, everything looked similar. Now Android is like Windows, in total chaos. Also this phone has got optical mouse in the front, that was fantastic! You could scroll without touching screen or use as a home button.

  • Still the best Android I ever owned. Fit in the hand perfectly and made sense. Been using the Pixel the past 3 years and while it's fast, I don't enjoy using it as much as with the original Nexus.

  • My first smartphone. The screen is wonderful. Very handy to use.

  • Guess what? Nobody cares.

  • I'm not satisfied for this mobile because nobody can repair this phone my phone has a problem nobody cannot solve it. I think I hate it mobile

  • i have a htc one mobile...i have never been seen like this type of worst mobile......battery strength is very poor and quickly it becomes warm....

  • Never purchase HTC mobile. Worst mobile i ever use.

  • Very poor service. Just one charger is not available service center HTC very bad service.

  • I had purchased HTC Desire 10 pro recently on which I was able to do conference calls since my work involves me to do conference calls on a daily basis. However, since I have updated a software update recently on my HTC Desire 10 pro, now I am unable to do conference call. I am receiving a android.com error when I try to connect on callers on conference calls. I have checked with my mobile network operator, who has confirmed that my conference facility is not deactivated from their side. I suspect problem has started since I have updated software update on my phone. Pls. help resolve asap, as I am now handicapped in my work area. Pls. let me know if I can downgrade the software update, since earlier I could make conference calls on my HTC Desire 10 pro.

  • Htc desire 628 is very good Ian having 2.years old htc It never hang only battery problem is there Otherwise good than others

  • desire 628 best phone but its Battery is poor and overheat

  • i live in kenya and ive used many htc phones from the 626,m7,m8,820ys and more but the 820g+ just sucks.it has limited features risky to brick it if not almost impossible to do an upgrade as it has kitkat installed with a mediatek chipset compared to the earlier 820ys that you can get a sense 7 and android upgrades.please htc when you a phone make sure we get the best out of the operating systems you install or the best out of your devices...the 820g+ has really let me down..

  • I am residing in Goa and had bought a HTC Desire 828 Dual Sim phone in May 2016. Unfortunately, after 10 months of use, experienced issues with the display. As the phone was under warranty, I went to the repair Collection Centre in Panaji-Goa that is listed on the HTC website but was told that the centre no longer has a tie up with HTC and that I would have to send the phone to Pune by courier. I called up the HTC Helpline (Call Centre) and they advised me to personally handed over the phone to the repair centre in Mumbai or Pune (Both approx. 600 kms from Goa) or else deposit it at the Collection Centre at nearest Belagavi (approx. 240 kms from Goa). Would advise all prospective mobile phone buyers from GOA, PLEASE DO NOT TO PURCHASE ANY HTC DEVICE as the warranty is as good as nothing.

  • Hi, I had seen many bad reviews about the HTC mobile. but I brought finally this phone. After 8 months you will face battery problem and mobile will hang, you have to change battery. Camera is not so good as compared with other low budget mobile. I am now thinking why I brought this phone ????

  • Never ever did i purchase a worse phone than htc! No storage left as the operated system takes up half of the storage. I have 5 (chosen) apps and my storage is full. I bought a memory card but why do i have to pay for more storage while there are imposed apps that i don't use. Yes i can disable them but they are still stored on my phone! Also phone is very slow! Don't buy HTC

  • I need to unlock my device

  • now i started to search new cellphone and i was curious about my current phone specification and wow it's already 7 years how i have this phone O.o and it's still working, but i cant to say that about my samsung note 8 tablet which i have more than 2 years and now i need to pay 170 euro for new motherboard.... Now i am thinking at that time i should better bought new HTC phone, not that tablet

  • Not true i have a 7 year old Htc Desire and it runs so well for its age it is not particuly slow

  • Their is no need to say about htc mobiles..this one one of the warest mobile..

  • Hi,i m using HTC DESIRE 816G DUAL SIM. It is running with Android version4.4 kitkat. But i really need an upgrade to it as i m facing problm to store some datas in the phone on the acoount of low internal storage..so if u kindly provideme an upgrade Version to it..i will really helpful..!!plz look into it..

  • i need this moddel mobile....

  • i want htc pro fixe

  • Was proud to have HTC desire 826, not anymore. Good things 1. Good brand, good aesthetics Bad things: 1. Can not swipe out notifications from HTC e.g. upgrade notification 2. Post upgrade it gets real HOT. Clean Master shows up to 62 degrees 3. Forced upgrade to Marshmallow 4. If you visit HTC service center, they say that you can not downgrade and HTC will get HOT if its on Marshmallow. 5. You are stuck with costly phone which can explode at any time, with no way out.

  • I need dead HTC desire Mobile

  • desire series are not good i only like its One series im currently using one e8 and no hanging smooth mobile with a lot of apps installed desire series are not good and it also no look one series have metallic body and unique style i suggest not to buy desire series especially new smartphones of desire series are worst.

  • I had this phone for some time, my first smartphone in fact, it worked really well until I drove my car over it, it still worked ok but had damaged the SD card which was a shame, and had a couple of blue patches on the screen, can't complain about that.

  • Very bad phone.. Guys.. Don't use HTC phones.. I buyed HTC 820g+ before 1 week and it's totally hang and cameras are not working and getting heat too much ..and services are too costly... So forget the HTC phones.. Shit

  • This is a Damage mobile

  • guys htc phones are not good

  • My HTC Desire is six years old and has never let me down. It is the third HTC I have had and they have all been brilliant. My wife still uses an S620 and only wants to change it so she can get one that will work with whatsapp or something.

  • I have use my HTC desire for almost 6months now but unfortunately my phone doesn't ring when there's incoming calls it only vibrate but it at ring mode

  • i will request everyone never to buy htc mobiles there quality and mobile service is zero. i have experienced it 3 times bogas htc

  • Since the last update I have not been able to use my .mac email. Neither Apple nor Optus could resolve the issue and HTC support phone went dead after advising me that any conversation would be recorded. The Live Chat person advised me that Android do not support the .mac email. This is a bogus excuse or sheer incompetence. I also resent the automatic updates and number of useless apps that cannot be removed. From a design point of view, the volume and on-off buttons should be at the top to avoid inadvertent muting of volume. I will never get another HTC and certainly do not recommend it to anyone, not even for free.

  • My htc desire 820 mobile phone worth Rs 23000/- abruptly stopped working just 14 months after purchase. We received a very poor response and service from the company .They asked for Rs 10000/- for repairs....Will never buy HTC products again .

  • HTC Desire: UNDESIRABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Inadvertently set phone back to factory settings. Even though it's been synced to my laptop, when I request they send ma an email for resetting my password, no luck. Anything you can recommend? All my contacts, photos, etc. are inaccessible.Arrrrrg

  • Very bad experience regarding the HTC mobile Company as well as with service centers, that is why this company is very shortly going to be closed in near future if the customer are being dissatisfied from both end.

  • Old phone with a gorilla glass

  • Still pretty responsible

  • it turns off on 3g

  • there is just one service center in himachal ,high price .......wrost technology ....................i wanna suggest plz never purchase ........

  • I have used phones from various manufacturers (Nokia, Samsung,ASUS etc). This HTC phone is the worst. Its been 2 weeks I started using this phone and it has thousands of issues.It gets over heated, cannot type continuously the phone gets stuck, and sometimes cannot restart the phone and it was on off for one day continuously. I am having so many issues with this HTC D826.So please waste your money on buying this.

  • By today's standards this phone is still very decent. The HTC Wildfire on the other hand.............

  • People, this phone was introduced 6 years ago. How do you expect to be fast, or to have a good battery? It was OK 6 years ago (even then it wasn't a proper flagship), but today it's just outdated. Just read a comment "don't buy". You cannot buy it even if you want to. Maybe some trashed secondhand unit, but there's no way you can find it brand new.

  • This phone just got good looks,,,i have sooooo many problems but i cant write them properly because of its poor touch(after. Felling. Just once) suggestion-DONT BUY IT

  • This phone just got good looks,,,i have sooooo many problems but i cant write them properly because of its poor touch(after. Felling. Just once) suggestion-DONT BUY IT

  • The same with mine. This phone does not have long battery life. It goes by so fast. At times it goes off, turn on, and lower your battery.

  • Please don't purchase hTC at all, due to dangerous reasons and unable to resolve by HTC services center

  • I'm using this phone for years it is great But there is one problem I can't change the name of songs Can someone help ?

  • I bought it 2010 and i've been using it since then. I didn't have any problems with it and i've been using it for almost all of my tasks. Nowdays i'm using it as a wifi modem.

  • terrible, terrible phone. The only reason I got stuck with it was that my old, reliable Samsung got smashed to bits and I needed a new phone for work ASAP. HTC Desire was the only one I could walk away with for free on my plan. That was in Oct. 2015. First issue: my cheek switches the phone onto airplane mode when I'm in a call. Unforgivable behaviour for a phone. And since Dec I've been having battery life problems (some days it drains in about four hours even with the phone on airplane mode and me not using it AT ALL, other days it's fine despite me browsing for hours) and now it has switched itself off (despite 70% battery power) and refuses to reboot. I'm told this is a common software issue. If I had the money for a new phone I would run this one over with my car.

  • I bought Htc Desire cellphn worth Rs. 24k.. it worked well for first 8 mnths. Aftr that It started showing me camera error..n later systm error.. it strtd switching off.. ultimately it was cmpltly dead.. i contcted the sellr.. he sent me to servic cntr.. n my phn was sent to the compny.. compny took all its intrnal parts as well as screen and gav me an invc of repairs worth rs 20k.. it was undr warranty.. n now my phn is nothn bt a garbage.. most most worst phn n worst company ever.. do no purchase these cellphones othrwise u will regret..

  • I Dont Know Which One i Had But i Hated it Battery Life Suuuucked

  • well there if you have problems with this model, most likely it is a hardware bug. mine had it and I send it htc and they repaired it without cost. of course this was four years ago and since then no problems.

  • very capable phone after 5 years. Is there any reasons for me to replace my desire?

  • I had bought HTC desire 620 model , it was worked fine 1st 5month after that it was hanging,and getting switched off, and here I observed without (data)network it is working , once we opening net or data on , it suddenly getting hanging or switched off , phone dialer not working when is net on , once switched off net or data , then it takes time 10 to 15minutes for phone recover, I went service center they did software change , then it was worked fine one week, then again same problem repeat so kindly suggest what Will do, it was 7months old,

  • I bought mine at the end of the march 2010 and I am still using it :D I ve accidentaly dropped it many times, but mobile still holds together. I must admint that the construction is really solid. So far without any covers, the screen is as good as new, almost no scratches. Battery is relatively in a good shape. It can power the phone for about 20h with wifi and a day and half without. I have custom rom with app2sd (it was the only way how to overcome phones small internal memory) and about 100 apps installed. No lags noticed =D

  • htc is best phone :(

  • I am using htc derise 500,i bought it in jan 2014 ..........this phone offers a lot of issues both software and hardward, .........its a costly non functioning phone, ..........i suggest new buyers never to buy htc phones

  • I found the build quality good. It is a reliable, responsive & all round great phone for a 3g smart phone of it's era

  • The product quality of HTC 820G+ is poor. The mobile phone resets every 4 to 6 weeks. The Service from HTC is awfully poor. It is better not to buy HTC products.

  • The worst experience of life.bought htc desire 626G plus 4 months back.withon 3 months of purchase developed charging issues.swutches off on its own and then doesnot restart for next 10-12 hrs.wrote to chairman,ceo,coo.noresult.really shameless company.lodging complaint in consumer court.ll not let them make customers look like hapless fools.

  • Never ever buy htc smart phones. I was using Samsung S4 then some of my frnz asked me to use htc Ii bought new desire phone 820G plus one of the worst phone I have ever used in my life. Even I can say Nokia's old phones were much much better then htc. Samsung is also the best smart phone. htc company is horrible and its smart phones sucks. Guys dont ever use htc if u want to use android then go for samsung or even i can say u can buy any cheap andrpid phone you will never regret. BUT HTC IS ONE OF THE WORST COMPANY.

  • It's because you're using it in 2016 & it's outdated. All the apps nowadays using new Android version. Go buy a new updated phone & stop saying it's not worth it just to save your money.

  • Hi friends I have a HTC desire 816 g. Cost is Rs. 18000. Specifications are not worth and mobile get very slow and hanging problem also But stylish look and super design Some problems here So think and buy an other models

  • The Staff and the Technician not trained. in spite of me giving my phone for 5 time they where not able to find out the actual problem. HTC 820 S The phone are kept inside for three days and returned to the customer saying that the work is done. But the truth is They don't even touch the phone. Will never buy any HTC product and will recommend the same to all my friend.

  • Hi, I found my old Desire and would like to make it usable again. Can you tell me how you rooted it or direct me to a guide for beginners, thanks

  • Can you tell me how you rooted it or direct me to a guide for beginners, thanks

  • Hi, I found my old HTC desire and would like to make it usable. Can you direct me to a guide to root it like you did, thanks

  • I have an htc desire its quite a let down. The speaker has packed up for the second time. Sending it for repairs means 10 days and loss of all data. I regret buying this phone and would recommend it to anyone else.

  • I had this phone once. But someone stole it :( I didn't like this phone much because it has poor camera. But still the phone helps me a lot. i miss my HTC. We've been through a lot.

  • I honestly have no love for HTC phones anymore bought my brand New HTC phone and two days later it heats up so bad it has to be on power save and despite that the battery drains so quick never again am I buting any HTC phones techno samsung Nokia and iPhones are just the best...and if you want to improve your ccustomer services make sure you have HTC stores around Kenya so disappointed

  • I just ordered HTC desire should I send it back don't like what I'm hearing desire626

  • really good phone, still works like a charm after 6 years of daily usage.

  • I own this phone for about 5 years now. Never had any hardware problem with it, except that I have changed the battery recently. I did reset the phone to factory settings two times because of software problems. My only problem with it now is that the software is outdated and many applications are not longer available. The internal storage space is very limited as well compared to newer phones.

  • worst company and its service ever seen .i have been waiting for the response about availability of charging circuit board of desire 700 s which i need to replace as charging socket is lose. i had ben several times to service centre and they had told me to wait for 10 days its been more than two months now and also htc s spare parts are costly than other companies

  • I have purchase HTC Desire 220 on dated 0906.2014. It was worst experience of my life to purchase this company. The handset has repaired so many times. right now my phone is now stopped. The htc repair team has told me to repair cost would be Rs.4000/- . I am suggest to all the customer dont purchase this company's mobile phone.

  • Love this phone! :D Love it so much and i got two of them! One for just using like phone, but other one is for test for try upgrade memory (ram & app storage). But i can't find the correct chip to replacement. Maybe someone can help? My email - aleks.mp3 @ gmail . com

  • My dad bought this phone at the time when it was released (5 years ago),brings back memories actually!!!

  • I need help, how can a person text and copy the text to another number

  • My hts phone fell down while catching bus screen became pieces how to replace it. Purchased in november 2014.warranty period is there to replace it. Htc 620 G fone.i

  • Personally, I like the desire. Whether or not the loud speaker is crap, or not good enough. I rarely use it. Texting, web browsing and camera are all about I use. This is actually my first HTC and I like it better than my LG Optimus L70. Considering it's out of date. What bothers me is that there might not be a screen shot camera. Either that, or I haven't figured out how to use such.

  • Oooooh what a wonderful phone.good specs and working nicely although battery life is poor.love it.

  • Hope you were near me and you would help me with that technicality

  • Why did you buy a 4 mega pixel camera phone? Buy a phone with the pixels you want.

  • How can I possibly change my operating system on my HTC desire from 2.1 to 4.4.4 kitkat

  • Why are People complaining about their brand new HTC Desire XXX here? This is OBVIOUSLY the page about the ORIGINAL HTC Desire from 2010! Go spam the correct pages, sheeple! I got the original HTC Desire the moment it was available in Germany in summer 2010. Still have it and still use it! Of course, Andriod 2.2 Froyo became a bit long in the tooth in 2013 and nearly unusable in 2014, so i decided to make the hop to a 3rd party ROM early 2015. Never looked back! LiquidSmooth-ROM with Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) gave my Desire a new life! The way was paved with hurdles (S-OFF, root, recovery, etc.) but now the 5yr old phone is more usable than some of its newer brethen (like Samsung Ace and other cheap Andriod phones plagued with Android 2). I saw a Lollipop custom ROM on the way too :-) TL;DR: The only first gen Smartphone still worth using today, because it can run Android 4.4.4 KitKat! Money invested wisely.

  • If u root ur HTC it would take care of ur issue on the not being able to use ur sd cards storage for me rooting made my desire the best phone ever I have complete control on what I delete even if couldnt before plus slot of other features.. if decided to do this though do ur homework make u follow all directions u don't wat to brick phone

  • I'm very irritated with my HTC Desire. I looked online about how to save my storage to the SD Card instead of my phone. And now there is a ton of storage on my phone and it won't save SD Card no matter how many times I set it to save to the SD Card. Secondly, my HTC Desire data won't work because I've connected it to the WiFi. I have a ton of data left and no way to use it when I do need it. For example on road trips my Google Maps is unavailable because of the data issue. I'm so fed up with HTC and I will never be buying another one again.

  • I'm very dissatisfied with the HTC service provided to me. I bought the HTC Desire 826 on Jun 14 2015. On Jun 25th 2015, the entire touch sensor of the phone konked off. I went to the service centre and was told that the product will be replaced immediately BUT I have to go to the city of purchase- which is Bangalore and I live in Mumbai. The service expects me to spend another bomb on travelling to Bangalore from where I bought the phone 10 days ago when any other phone company- Samsung included provides All India Service where I will get a product replacement anywhere in India. What sort of a 25k phone konks off in ten days? And why put me through the trauma of buying a spare phone? I now have no phone for atleast 15 days while the Mumbai service centre tries to replace the touch sensor of my phone! (that too, they do not guarantee it'll be done in 15 days) Terrible experience with an HTC product! Please think of the customer's plight and provide All India replacement and service.

  • I bought the Htc Desire 5 years ago. Used mainly as a phone, some email and web browsing. It is sadly dying and I can only hope my next mobile is as reliable.

  • After sales service of htc is zero. Please keep this in mind before buying htc

  • Hi, I purchased HTC 626g+ last week. Two issues I am facing. 1. HTC claimed that there is magnet sensor. But no sensor available.I checked with CPU z software. 2. no ringtone facility for outlook inbox email folders. If any new mail . No notification ring. But for inbox mail it Toussaint there. Any solution?

  • I just want to say that after 5 years, the htc desire that I've bought is still smooth and fine as if I've just bought it yesterday. I bought an extended battery with casing and now it can lasts up to a day standby with 4 hours of sot at max brightness. I use it for watching series( yes i know the screen is rather small), my alarm clock, my backup phone for other line and also to browse fb after I've off my main phone to charge it for the night. Dropped it countless times and even tho it has some tiny dents and is roughened up, it still looks sexy. ^_^

  • The HTC-601 dezire is a good phone but the company is having horrible service back up and the service station in Mysore is filled by lazy and lethergic people who does not care to respect the customer. I gave my phone for repair and they took 10 days to decide what to do, and other 15 days to get the part. Still I am praying for my phone. New purchasers please donot buy this phone, go and purchase anything else.

  • My camera is not work after I've placed my SD card into the phone Mine HTC desire What should I do

  • It is my first smart phone, and I purchased it 6 months after its release. It's now 5 years since I bought it, and it's still operational. The only constraint was the limited of size of RAM and ROM. I even rooted it to test custom firmware like cyanogen, and etc.., but I reverted it back to factory. As I uses my notebook day and night, I don't see the importance of changing my phone for an extravagance one. By 2015, the phone can hardly support 2 useful applications without any lag. Therefore, it's all about how a user uses its phone.

  • worst company,worst product and worst service.Don't buy any htc product,me myself suffering since last 25 days for service.

  • cannot canact pc

  • Number one worst mobile... i am using HTC desire 816 dual sim mobile from past 8 months ... following are the problems i faced. 1) No network ... even near the signal tower. 2) Touch abnormal functioning. 3) Low voice to listener while on call... 4) Low battery backup. 5) Very delicate.. Here one great issue is there.. with the above problems I have given my mobile in HTC service center (Ammerpet, Hyd), They informed me after troubleshooting, will send sms .. I never get. I planed to call on HTC service center office land line number� they never attend the cal.. I visited service center personally � they said again we will sms you.. after troubleshooting�. So when they will send sms�???? No time spam� after a year??? only god only know�. We have to pray the god for that�. Finally it is worst � service provided by HTC� (TVS electronics Ltd)� So I request all of you.. to not buy any HTC product�.. (U will same your money and Time�)

  • there are some applications that cannot be install. sometimes, can't connect to the computer.

  • why is it that all htc mobiles batterys dont last long.2 What is the full meaning of the accronym HTC

  • HTC phones are nothing but garbage. I bought a htc desire 601 and after a couple weeks the battery started losing its charge and would only last a few hours just sitting on the table on sleep mode. After about a couple of months I plugged it in for about twenty min. and good thing I checked it cause it melted all to hell from the inside out and could have burned my house down.I sent the phone in for warranty repair and they will not cover the damage or replace the phone. They expect you to pay $150.00 even if it is under warranty. DO NOT BUY THESE PHONES THEY ARE A FIRE HAZARD AND WILL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN.

  • htc desire haven't french language?

  • I have htc desire 816g dual sim phone. My phone's sim card slot 1 not accepted some sim card but some sim card are accepted.

  • the batteries last for 2days on standby but when im using the internet it last for 30 minutes....jeeezzzzzzzz

  • I have been using an iPhone for the last 4 years and when my last one broke I decided I should switch to android like the rest of the world. I am so disappointed in this phone. It is literally awful. My camera is brutal, the pictures come out very blurry and there is no flash. The screen does not get bright enough to see during the day in the sun even at its highest brightness level. It is really slow and I know for sure that is not because of my carrier because I never had this problem before with other phones. When the phone is connected to my computer the screen suddenly because ridiculously sensitive and can't be used. Some of the applications I used before on my iPhone don't work on this phone. Really, I had only heard great things about HTC phones and was so excited to get one and now I am just disappointed and frustrated and feel like I wasted my money.

  • Wrong. My HTC Desire has an 8 MP camera, not 5. The resolution is well above 3000xsomething.

  • my htc desire a8181 cannot on.

  • Ya you'll be able to use apps you couldnt belo registo, but due to its low storage you either use a hack to allocate parts of the data to the memory card, or just buy a new phone, I mean... HTC desire is a slow mf when compared for example with the more recent moto E..

  • Root the phone first, install clockwork mod then recovery, partition the memory card fat32 for half of the cards size as primary and the other half as primary ext 4. When doing this use Linux mint live cd and gparted. Then download superniva Rom zip from the net and place onto the memory cards fat 32 partition. Now put card in the phone hold volume down and power button together and enter recovery. Once here wipe dalvik, then do full wipe, the install zip from SD card supernova. Wait and reboot. Once system loads before doing any setup hold power button down, reboot option and safe reboot. Blue light will come on then off. Once system loads loads setup and enjoy all the storage on your ext partition. Im showing over 3gb of internal storage now. For mire info check out xda developers pages. Hope this helps.

  • Yes, it's immortal :) I've bought mine by the end of 2009, so it's almost 5 years old and running Though I did replace original battery, and put extended one instead

  • Nice phone. Very much satisfied with it. Only Internal memory is very low. So you can't install many apps. Screen quality is excellent.

  • nyc phone this

  • great phone, using since 3 years

  • I confirm this phone is immortal, mine is 4 year old. the screen is not broken, the baterie still hold 2 days.

  • Unkillable phone. Mine is old - starting to become a little unreliable now, though that's mostly dirty battery terminals. It's been dropped down the stairs 3 times (that I remember) - in a gel case. and taken a dip in the washing up. Since they're easy to dissemble I took it apart and dried it out - no problem.

  • HTC desire, Great Phone still i still use it.

  • My new HTC desire 5088 has very short battery life....what do i do

  • I agree with Nikhilji. I also have bitter experience with my HTC desire. Not worth to invest.

  • HTC Desire series is a great phone! Nikhilji said . . . "HTC Desire series is the worst phone that will put you in great distress. The system built-in Desire series are such that they collapse leaving a blank screen " This is a load of crap, please do not pay any attention to ignorant people like this. I have used a HTC Desire for over 4 years and it has never had a problem. Problems like the one described are usually a result of interfering with the phone - jailbreaking it, and if you try that then don't complain when the phone develops problems. Grow up and get a life Nikhilji

  • plz help me my phone Htc Desire A8181 is running on android 2.2 now i want to update it 2.3 i downloaded official 2.3 rom but it cannot work so what i do

  • my worst smart phone keeps powering on and off all the time,damn i need help ir unless ill never buy htc products ever again

  • reset to factory setting then its become solve i had this problem does it now my phones battery similar first days

  • my first android device & i really loved it inspite of its many flaws.

  • bro its the Problem of Charging IC .....

  • I've had my phone since 2011. No major problems. except now the batteries refuses to take charge(i have two). I bought a new battery a few days ago and still have the same issue. What can I do?

  • I had an HTC and I hated it! It never worked no matter how many times I sent it in and it was brand new when I got it.

  • I jst bought a new HTC Desire and it doesnt connect to the network it says NO SERVICE.what must i do?

  • I experience little problem while browsing internet. actually I purchased this gadget in second use, without osd memory card. now I am unable to find GPRS settings. I dont find anything in APN fiels

  • Please help me to unlock the phone,it says too many pattern attempts. I use my username and password, but still working

  • very bad but very good

  • The solution of all your problems is here forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire Mine, Rooted, Stock Rom, 16 GB class 2 SD card with 4 GB EXT2 Partition, Using Links2sd, No risk,No reward.

  • Use the xda forum to solve this.

  • ahh. the desire bravo. my very first android phone. after well over 3 years, it still works like a charm. if ppl ask themselves how to resolve the low memory issue, go check the XDA forum. this is an epic device, must be as the nexus one's twin brother. it has kickass development support, and still can compete with modern day phones. it is built to last, dropped it many times, and its barely visible. screen is very sturdy, and scratch resistant, the metal detail surrounding the screen gives it extra rigidity, but battery life is poor. after my battery was worn out, i got a Mugen Power battery that has 1600mah instead of 1400, and now i reach almost 2 days battery life. if you consider buying this, even if it is second hand, go right ahead, you will not regret it. this is exellent value for its money. make shure you take my hints here, and you will have a great device.

  • does anybody knows how to root this phone?I have the O2 edition,and instead of 512 MB ROM,has 150 MB ROM,and i really wish to root it.It`s a very good phone,but without space on it...it`s rubbish.

  • how to resolve Lack of memory problem?

  • after installing custom ROM with Android 2.3.3, sense 2.1 and partitioned SD card... perfect phone, stable

  • I want know is there anyone,,who is using official v2.3 update for this phone..with no problems??????? please help!!!1

  • DUDE's this phone can be upgraded to KITKAT VERSION 4.4 not sure go to developers site and search :D :D no bugs at all.... first of all root your phone then you can do anything

  • Worst Smartphone ever.. !! so laggy HTC ui loads again and again .. poor battery back up.. i would suggest you to use a phone with Black and White screen instead..

  • I planned to but HTC Desire U model phone.Any one sugest tht whether it will be ok or not? If not mean give the reasons too.....

  • I'm happy with the set, actually i must say that this is an ideal set for those, who are first time switching to the smart phones from multimedia phones. as a starter, you should get this phone to get use to the smart phones first..

  • battery life is very poor and chargin time is also 4 hour,,,not good set,,,

  • don't listen to posters that can't even be arsed to type full words! great basic phone that handles basic apps. lack of storage is a major problem as the ability to "move to SD" isn't available for many apps designed for the newer systems.

  • Drop it into the water coz that kinds of phone are not good. . .try to buy samsung its really cool. . .

  • Best phone i ever use...

  • repeated hanging up.... n as the warranty period s over now its motherbord is not functioning......

  • For last few years!iv used number of devices with 512mb ram and 1ghz prosessor! For eg:xperia mini(st15i), galaxy s plus(i9001), samsung focus, optimus black(p970) was with me! And lastly iv got this damn thing into my hands! I havent words to express my feelings! Battry life is poor! But all the other things are the best of this range devices!hTC rox!!!

  • Don't think I'd bother if I were you. Youa are too accident prone. You've already or destroyed or lost your phone several times.

  • Great phone! I dropped one in the pool, and bought another one just because I liked it so much. I smashed the second one, and when I tried the first it worked, even though it was in the pool! Lots of great support from the modding community. The biggest drawback is its low internal memory which can easily be fixed with a custom rom and a2sd. I had an AOKP rom with 4.2.3 running perfectly. Unfortunately, I left it on the roof of my car, and it's gone now :( I'm actually considering buying another one, but will likely upgrade to something a little newer and with a bigger screen.

  • when am putting on the phone and it reaches the stage where the background is all white and there is htc-quietly brilliant it doesnt proceed again and that stage keeps repeating itself. Pls Why?

  • Dear sir, I am using HTC Desire handset. But it is not supporting to imobile bank application. why, reason

  • Root it and install a custom firmware. I am curently using MildWild os, you can find all the details about this on xda-developers. With my new os, the phone is blazing fast and I made a 2gb partition for a2sd and now have 2gb internal memory for all my apps. It's an outdated phone so dont ask it to perform as a new phone. Just try to make it better yourself or just get a new phone.

  • Charge it

  • From the time I purchased the phone, I haven't able to see any software update for this phone model Desire V. In addition, phone is repeated hanging & take too much Time to switch out of application. In this regard, I have submitted to company; but the problem is persistent.

  • Dear Sir, I have too much problem with handset Desire V. Handset perform slowly is the usual problem. In addition, now, I am facing new problem about internet access. Moreover, while accessing the internet on one SIM other SIM is remaining inactive. And the message is displayed like no SIM in slot and internet access is automatically get disconnected. Handset show the message like service is not available. However the network from service provider is available and it was confirmed by service provider and cross verified with other handset. It took so much time to return back to main menu. As I have handled and experienced, previously phone was well about the internet access. Shall I say this handset is faulty and freak? This time this won't be the request to solve the problem.

  • I have that phone is very good no lags when i play games and camera is perfect clips on youtube are always in HD.

  • What can I do if battery is very low after 24h

  • dont worry try sony xperia zl

  • It/s a pretty good phone,i enjoyed it very much!

  • my phone freezes i need help

  • i tried some roms on my htc desire but after some days i got a lot of problems like the wifi didnt work bluetooth i didnt got any messages etc.in my opinion puting new roms to old phones is nice but they will not work properly because the rom is just not meant for old phones and you will have to reboot the phone to get it to the previos rom or through it away.

  • This is great phone, great quality. I own him 3 years.

  • Hi buddy how do i upgrade to this Supernova you talking about this phone gets full quickly

  • How do you upgrade to supernova?

  • This is still a great phone I still use it today...... Upgrade the Rom to supernova where you have unlimited space to install apps......365 apps installed and counting...... It's breaths new life into an old phone

  • Everyone posting has to remember this. The HTC Desire is almost 4 years old now. It was fantastic when it was first released and had the absolute latest android at the time. Of course 4 years later phones are better. This is still a good phone for a 4 year old phone. Just don't expect it to act like a new phone.

  • Greetings from kosovo.about the phone,Yeah maybe you're right but it's a bad phone anyway,and yes do that before you buy a new one i would prefere you an apple or Samsung new phone all others sucks.

  • In its day this was a great phone. The camera was never wonderful, but its a phone. Providing the weaknesses in the camera didn't dissuade you this was a great phone to own and use. Sadly, the increasing size of apps mean that the phone now struggles to cope. So I find that the "low space" message is frequently if not constantly displayed. So I have to clean out the cache and reinstall apps on a daily or weekly basis. I think the main cause of the weakness is the limited internal memory. So when I upgrade to a new phone I'll be making doubly sure it has plenty of internal memory available.

  • Also my experience with this phone is not good at all!About 2 years ago I bought an HTC Desire(Android System n.2.2)and in the last6months I experienced increasing problems in downloading new applications.When I try to download it happens very often that the operation fails with the notice "no connection"/Error n. 920, even if I have a regular(not fast)Internet connection,that I use every day for my mails...When this kind of problem occurs,generally is irreversible and to download something else I need to reinstall the software(factory data reset)losing all the previous applications I downloaded in the past.Anyway,after not more than 1 week,the problem appears again.It doesn't depend on my memory card(70% empty)nor on some kind of virus:it looks like if the operative system is too old to well support "Play Store" the new market for downloading."Android Market" was much better, but now has been replaced.What can I do? Upgrade to Android 2.32? Is there an authorized shop in Pattaya(Thail.)?

  • i have this phone but seriosly this is a shitty phone full of problems heating problems,low internal memory ,bed camera ,no over the air update to 2.3,less mb of ram only 570 or something like that. its just not worth buying this phone if you wanna buy it, then dont do it its FULL of problems. gonna change to apple, android sucks.

  • I got the HTC desire phone Oct 2012 and almost immediately it gave trouble, at the local shop they told me it could not do the faults that I reported.but they found that it could. It was sent back to the supplier for updates ( without any loan phone being offered,even though it was on a contract,my problem! ). When it came back after 2 weeks or more it did the same faults as soon as I started it up again. Back to the factory and this time they admitted they couldn't fix it. Now I have gone back to using a very ordinary, basic new phone as I have it to actually use for communication and not as a toy. It is going to be a shame when it gets to the stage when we have no choice but to have to have these phones that can do everything except the very thing that they were invented for.

  • I have been having problems with my HTC Desire for the last month. I have only had it for about 4 months and there is no damage to the phone. In the beginning of the problems I had some occasional problems with the touch screen, especially at the bottom of the screen and was unable to unlock my phone or hit the home screen button. As time has gone on, I cannot use my phone unless someone texts me because I cannot get into it at all. The ring will not let me pull it up to open the phone. It texts on it's own, plays candy crush by itself, the bottom row of letters including the back space does not work at all and it just starts doing it's own thing shaking and opening all kinds of stuff. It has even answered phone calls by itself (which I am unable to answer phone calls) and has called people. I do not know what to do to fix this situation and I am extremely unhappy!!!

  • is it can be upgrated to 4.1 version from its builtin version 2.2.2? i check it on phone but not updated

  • I bought an HTC Desire C in Calcutta, India. It worked well for about six months, after which I had several problems. I asked for the set to be replaced as it was during the warranty period but HTC does not replace faulty sets, they refer you to a service centre, which is difficult to find. I did give it to the service centre, they could not solve the problem, but HTC does NOT stand behind their product. Go to another company!

  • I have this phone since August 2010. Just before going out of the 2 year warranty I had the battery swollen badly and it was replaced by local HTC service. I routed and S-OFFed the phone and tried different builds of android. Unfortunately the only one that's really stable is the original one BUT that limits your storage a lot and after installing just a couple of apps you're out of space. The phone would have been awesome even now after 3 years if they were thinking a little bit about the internal storage. All the "apps to SD" excuses are rubbish and it's not really helping. I'm thinking to change the phone mostly because of the storage problem mentioned above but now it seems everybody is building devices with HUGE displays, devices that almost cannot fit in your pants/jacket pocket. The ones with a little bit smaller displays are cut in the area of performance so if you want to benefit of the performance you're forced to buy ping-pong/tennis rackets :(

  • Guys, WiFi does not work on my Desire anymore. I used it be4 bt now just says problem with network even though others can connect. any advice? thanks

  • Have tried 3 or 4 different ROMs and I found the slickest performance and most spare memory after installing AOKP Jellybean 4.2.2: Before you can install you need to get root so use this rooting tool: http://revolutionary. io You will lose all phone data and settings so use whatever backup facilities each app will support. The contents of your SD card are unlikely to be wiped but a good idea to back up any data here too. When new ROM installed you will need to set a default install location (Google this command) so apps install by default to SD card. Remember that the reason these alternative ROMs work with less memory is that they omit some of the 'unnecessary' stock apps and Google apps - you will have to reinstall what is important to you. Remember that these alternative ROMs When rooted

  • how do i root my htc desire to have more internal memory. pliz am waitin......

  • Still love my Desire - a really good handset in its day and still out-specs many of today's mid-market handsets. It has lovely physical buttons (that Google won't like), a very useful trackpad and always seems to bounce well when dropped! HTC left it out in the rain and didn't provide an upgrade path from 2.2. I'm rooted and using Android 4.2.2 from AOKP and everything is working slickly, even the memory issue is no longer an issue.

  • how to update this os...

  • Android 9.0 (Ultimatum) xD

  • Excellent, fast phone. The trackball is especially useful for text editing. However, its only flaw is the low internal memory. The default internal memory is 147MB for apps. The 437MB of rom is divided into "operating system" 250MB, "Play Store Cache" = 40MB, "Internal Memory for apps" 147MB. Reference here: 30MB of "Internal Memory" goes towards contacts storage, leaving only 100MB for apps which equals about 30 apps that you can fit on the phone. The solution to the low memory problem is to root the phone and partition the external SD card to include a "internal memory" partition, expanding the internal memory to a maximum of 500MB. This is complicated and takes a lot of research.

  • what version of android is the highest upgrade level?

  • i think 576mb and it has extra card slot

  • Phone up your service provider and they will sort it for you.

  • If you are thinking about buying this phone to root, you must check the HBOOT version first, if it has HBOOT starting 1.03 you will not be able to S-Off & root. The other issue is the low internal memory, I only have 80mb left after the shipped apps and downloading a couple more which are saved to SD, unable to update all Google apps as this will leave me with no more room, a problem considering I am unable to root my phone and get rid of all the Orange guff. Apart from this the phone is great, fast and excellent screen resolution. my advice if your thinking of purchasing one of these second hand, go for an unbranded version.

  • The HTC Desire is actually OFFICIALLY upgradeable to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The only problem is that this upgrade is not available through OTA. To download the RUU you must go to: ­ and download the RUU which will then update the OS. However, all your apps will be wiped. SD card will be untouched.

  • This is my 'upgrade' from the Hero. I was swithering about buying a Nexus 4 for £239 or seeing what phones my dad had lying around, and having ported my google account over to this one, it's still nice and quick, the apps run great, and it's cost me £5 in a replacement battery. Joy. I can use TV Catchup without any drag or artefacting, and my other apps run fine. I found the manual upgrade to 2.3 (gingerbread) as HTC only did server updates to 2.2 (Froyo). That all installed fine, whoopee. The kicker will be in a month or 2 when I get my Pebble: it needs to run on 2.3 or later, and needs bluetooth 2.1 or better. Desire has both of these but if there is noticeable delay/lag/compatibility issues my experiment will have failed. If, however, the Pebble works fine, then I'm golden (if Bluetooth 4 LE works on it even better, but Android are still dragging their heels on that!). All in all I'm happy with the phone, it does what I need and should be pretty cheap compared to a new Nexus 4. I'll report back if the Pebbling is a disaster!

  • Hey guys...i know every one faces 2 big problems in htc desire...the firts one is its low memory problem and the other one is its slow charging...i have both solved....first thing change your charges...do not charge with orignalhtc charges it charges very slow n sucks...use samsung galaxy charger for charging it it charges really really fast..ok for the memory problem..root your fone download rom named.An.droid

  • hmmm. not all the apps can be forced to your SD card. Some requires the internal memory. Cache and data of the apps usually uses the phone memory.

  • I have one of this. At first I thought it can be my best friend but I started to realize that it cannot go along with me. The internal memory limits the apps that I can save. The battery is also weak that it can't last 24 hours if you have data plan (have your FB apps, Gmail, and so on apps sync on your phone [all active]). I can hardly find accessories here in the Philippines and the thought really saddens me. :(

  • I got this phone for a year and suddenly down in the left corner appeared safe mode and now whenever I want to lock my mobile on reset .. Is anyone knows what this problem is causing this?

  • which is better desire or legend on all basis plz sugest me...

  • 148 mb is the space on the phone and 512mb are the number of RAM. Enter settings->Application->Manage application and luck to the bottom of the screen

  • yeah, the prob is, 512 mb is the RAM space for your OS. Desire currently ships with Froyo, with some running Eclair. Froyo takes up its space, then what is left, is what you see. I suggest rooting your phone, so that you may force install your apps to SD card...!

  • please don't by this mobile bcoz we cant use in this data package

  • My phone shows internal memory of 148mb Whereas this website shows that it have. Mem of 512mb Can any help me on this??

  • There's a few ICS roms for the Desire. You'll have to root your phone first and partition the SD card off with a 1-1.5gb EXT4 partition to use some of the scripts though since the on board memory is too small. Sandvold's ICS rom is the best so far. There are a few out there with Sense 4.0 but are in their very early stages.

  • Hi guys, can it be upgradable to ICS or Ginger Bread only? Pls tell me guys...

  • That is the new Google play services; as Roy suggested, you may delete it as it takes up space (7mb) and as all of us desire users know, internal storage space is precious. I deleted it, but it keeps re-installing whenever I connect to data of any kind.

  • I saw somebody using this phone today and it's honestly the most beautiful thing. *-* HTC is truly better at design than other companies, their phones are unique.

  • I have htc desire android version 2.3.3. I couldn't find android market or google play in my cell even after factory reset. Anybody can help?

  • delete google play, the symbol looks like a jigsaw piece...

  • root your phone from going to XDA forum, then read the guides on first page of htc desire question and answer section. If you can't browse there, ask a question there and you will find the links to tutorial "how to root your desire and S- off". After that install a custom rom like oxygen 2.3.2 is the best ROM so far for this device. Change Hboot to oxygen R2 Hboot. Partition your SD card into ext3 or ext 4 using 4ext recovery tool. You will need one month to learn all this shit and when you apply all of this on your phone, you feel like using nexus 4 or S3 .. lol believe me rooting a desire is best thing you can do customize the memory and other issues.

  • You can mpve applications to your SD card/ In my case that wasnt enough. What helped me is turning back to factory defaults. You will lose youre settings and have to reinstall your applications however.

  • memory problem can anybody help

  • I have the exact same problem. As soon as my contract is up for renewal, storage space is going to be a massive consideration for me, as I can only install 1-2 more apps on my HTC Desire and forget upgrading Facebook!

  • You can get every app from the Google Play store, however, there is minimal space to put on more than 15 or so apps. Forget about updating apps. I constantly get a notification saying I'm low on storage and I have only 8 apps on top of factory installed ones.

  • I've had the desire for two years now. I'm replacing it now with the only reason being; lack of space for apps. The memory available for apps is way too little for current days apps. I can only have a few must have apps like what's app, 3rd party keyboard etc. Also android 2.3 update takes up much more space. For all the rest, performance (never ever crashed) and built quality etc I'd give it 10/10.

After buying I noticed the internal memory shown in this phone is only 93MB. The OS and preinstalled apps in this phone take 3GB .. out of rest 1GB only 93MB is shown.. that too after using the phone for somedays while I have installed games and apps , it showed even lesser like 60MB only.. The preinstalled apps cannot be removed or moved to SD card which means you cannot make any free space in the hidden 3 GB.. We should use only 1 GB internal memory.. after installing each app we need to move it to SD card. I have digested all this at once but from the 3rd week of purchase the phone has display issues. Whenever I open any message or any menu in settings , while a new window is about to popout suddenly a thick red outline is flashed everytime at all the sides of the screen. Also below the touch screen , the exit button and the main menu button is not working often. I have to press for a long tme or keep on tapping at it. Guys I feel so bad , irritated after spending 16500. Am yet to go to service centre and lloking for a replacement. Dont know whether I'l get one. The only reason to post all this is because I dont want anyone else to spend this much and feel like me. Bad products shouldnt be sold that too at this cost n all.. All this is true and my own experience. My no is 9600170027 and if anyone need any clarifications call me.

  • Reset to factory settings.

  • If your Desire is rooted, create an ext partition on yor sd card ( about 1gb), and install an aplication called "S2E". - Problem solved. Your Desire will now have 1gb of space reserverd for apps. I have almost 100 apps installed, using over 600mb.

  • Hi gyzzzz.i have htc desire...can anybody tell me how to install the apps on it???

  • its a good phone but the only thing i don't like about it is the internal phone storage, loses space really fast and also slow.

  • Hi Guys! Its really good but some problems like less memory (if u install some programs, u will be not able to install more programs), RAM memory is a little bit less in some cases like if u apply Live Wallpaper to the screen view, the Menu will not run smoothly, and some others like Battery!

  • The camera has rather dull colors with white balance slways a little bit off. Do not buy this phone. It has very little memory meaning that very soon you will run out of memory when trying to install new apps. I mean VERY soon. I have just a few apps and there are many more that I would like to have but can not because of this. I also have an ASUS ePad with all the apps I need so I know very well what I am tlaking about.

  • Hello All, can u plz help me, i just purchased this phone. But on startup goapk.com written under htc rather than quietly brilliant. Android market option also not available its GoMarket plz suggest

  • I know that HTC company CEO is a myanmar who is managing in Taiwan. But it is a shameful to get such a very very late reply, it takes over a year to answer a simple question in IT world. The worst thing was that I bought a HTC cell phone, HTC Desire in Singapore around June 2010. It was my first Android Touch cell phone. I carefully handled it like my own child. After some time not more than 6 months, Its recharging system was not working very well and I requested to repair it in your after sale service center in Harbourfront. They had not repaired properly and returned to me with the remark every thing is OK. After I went back to Myanmar around January 2011, the phone started to give me trouble with running battery. After 2 more weeks, even I changed a new battery it did not start anymore. I sent it back to Singapore to get a repair, they said it could not be repaired anymore. Although I am a Myanmar citizen like your CEO, I will never ever buy your products anymore. Shameful HTC. Please forward my message to your CEO to let him know that his staffs are not taking serious about customers, not like Apple i phone company( If their product is found defects, they will change a new one instance). There will be more customers like me who are getting disappointments because of your products and lack of taking responsibility from your staff with inefficiency in after sale service.

  • Tthis phone is brilliant.the picture quality is great,browsing is smooth.everything about this phone awosome.

  • The model and features are good.. but whn using internet its heating is very high .. by using that heat u can make omelet... so plz dont buy this....

  • YES, its good but it heats

  • Yes there is a heating problem when you use wifi with full brigtness

  • Check your application settings and disable all possible automatic checks and updates (news feed updaters, facebook app, email check frequency setting, application update checks from the Play store settings, everything you can find). All those consume battery by connecting to internet constantly. Also lower your display brightness. Display is one of the biggest battery consumers. Those should help quite a bit.

  • If you have your phone updated to Android 2.2 version you can move applications to SD-card. If not, update your phone to the latest available Android version for Desire, which is 2.2.2.

  • good looking phone but heating problem especially when internet is used for longer duration. Is any body else facing same problem n how to address it?

  • ask for arbic language

  • thanku

  • Greetings, I used this phone 2 years ago when it was rather new, and it held up very well. The buttons stayed responsive, and the processor held up, running all apps even to this day. My only problem is the internal memory, which is half eaten up by installed apps and updates for those. It's impossible to really use this phone for anything other than basic smartphone functions. As for getting it today, it's a bit outdated. Sure, it'd be cheap, but there'd be a few better Android phones nowadays.

  • Please inbox me how to increase the internal memory... [email protected]. please do me the favour

  • Internal memory too small, any help ?

  • The battery life of the HTC Desire is appalling. Even after a 24hour charge and not using the phone it barely lasts for 6 hours then calls for a recharge. The most useless phone I have bought.

  • No, don't buy iPhone 4. Get the HTC one X for the same price, much, much bigger screen, quad core processor. 4.7 inch screen and tegra 3 quad core processor . Get it, you won't regret it

  • If u want to use high end mobile u need to compromise with the battery...n i dont think ua iphone 4s battery is incredible it is almost similar to htc desire...i've been using ma htc mob from last year its a very good brand!

  • salaam to all..!! i have htc desire and its bigger problem is battery life and low internal memory....! iam going to buy iphone 4..am i selected good phone ?? if not plz suggest....

  • good

  • Amazing phone, only problem is internal memory which is easily fixed by flashing a rom with A2SD scripts and buying a 16GB memory card, partition EXT4 -2GB and remainder fat32 Battery life was also a problem. Flash a rom without the Sense UI, or undervolt, or gain root permissions and download "Juice defender ultimate"

  • don't know if i should get this phone as upgrade?

  • You cant compare wildfire with desire because deisre is way ahead than wilfire in everything...... NO COMPARISON

  • htc desire is better than wildfire s

  • does it support multi tasking??

  • Desire is better than wildfire, because it has bigger screen and all that stuff, the appearance is better.But it is matter of money, if you don't have too much to spend , then buy wildfire, if you can afford it - desire.:)

  • pls i nid d pannel of htc desire i live @ nigeria can any1 help me get 1

  • Frustrating phone, battery life is horrible. The reason it doesn't store apps to the SD card is cause if you do store them to the card, you can't use the apps widget, its just a default setting.

  • I tried to move a program onto my SD card to give myself more storage space but now I can't access the program (a shift schedule for my shift work). It gave me the option to move it to SD in "manage applications" but now when I click on the widget it says that the program is no longer there and I can't move it back. Any ideas on how to access things stored on the SD card?

  • same problem, apps r not stored in sd. always phone memory is getting low. disgusting

  • don't root your phone i rooted my phone.then a problem created my phone didn't on. i again installed android 2.3.3

  • I used the phone for about a month. The time was constant fight against low memory errors, even though there were not many apps installed and no games at all. Yes, all possible apps were installed to SD and cache files removed few times a week. I didn't wanted to root the phone, seems too complicated for me, I rather purchased a new phone with decent amount of user available memory. I want to use my phone, not to hack it. Hardware is excellent, responsive screen and cpu handles its tasks well and Android 2.3.3 with HTC Sense is real pleasure to use. Excellent phone is rendered half useless due to very low internal memory available for user apps/app data. I really can't understand how HTC could have released something like this from its factories, without even giving customers change fix the problem later on with official and not warranty voiding upgrage. Upgrade could well have been created, since several successful reports of rooting the phone proofs it.

  • Nanba if u install application in sd card phone memory will be free.

  • Root your phone

  • hey bro htc desire c don't has secondary cam ok?

  • suprb

  • Well, thats really normal for an htc phone i guess. I think you should restart your phone after everytime you charge. Cuz.. that also happens to my phone.

  • I have one ryt now and im using it to write this opinion. I love everything about this phone especially that it connects u to the internet way more faster than the iphone. but there's something i just dont get and i really need your help, why is that my volume key on the left side not working?

  • Just tap on the clock and hold on till is ready to be move then drag item down into the remove bin...

  • I am using HTC Desire for more than 1.5 years and it stayed well till recent when its button seems to be working improperly. I have upgraded to 2.3.3 and seems working find with that also. HTC Desire is really good phone. The only problem I felt that its internal memory is very less wrt to other phones in same price category.

  • hello friends... i have just now purchased htc desire..it's a very good phone..very attractive and up to mark as per my requirement.. can anyone tell me how to remove clock from the screen...it has taken half of the space....and after unloading the widget..the left space is still haunting me..

  • I've had my Desire for almost two years and never had a problem. It's getting a little slow in its old age but that's a small price to pay for a very reliable phone. Sadly it took a swan dive into a full bath tub a few months ago and died. I bought a new phone the next day (INQ Cloud Touch--never again!) and put my Desire aside, forgetting to toss it in the trash. Lo and behold, a few months later I unpacked it after a move and on a whim plugged it in and pressed 'on'. I'm typing this review from it right now. You won't get that from an iPhone. I was so pleased to stop using that terrible Cloud Touch--but that's another review for another day.

  • I am looking for a new phone and this one seems pretty decent. I was wondering though does this phone require a data plan? Does it flip out or no lol and does the camera flip so you can see yourself? If you know of a phone that doesnt need a data okan can flip and has that type of camera and is a carrier of AT&T can you plz tell me cuz I am bad at picking out phones haha

  • I am using the HTC Desire to type this now! Far better than wildfire s and iPhone 4s. Some lag issues but nowhere near enough to put me off. I paid 170 pounds for this phone with everything, including a protective case. The screen density is more than the sensation xe. And much bigger than the wildfire s. It also has a way faster processor The only annoyance is the internal memory is tiny. But otherwise, incredible phone for the money I paid. Way better than paying 300 pounds for iPhone.

  • Could anyone tell me where to get the 2.3 official update ? It's gone from htcdev.com page.

  • I had mine for almost 3 years now but upgraded to One X because i wanted something new. But the Desire is the best phone i ever had it has always been working perfectly and also upgraded it to V2.3GB works great.

  • I absolutely hate this phone. Its okay for the first several months..but i got a two year contract and i havent even had it a year and i can name a list of problems it has. First my camera stopped working and the camcorder, then the flash was going off randomley. Now the internet works no where but at my house, and i can no longer send or receive pic/vid messages. The phone has also gotten slow and its very aggravating. I'll be getting a different phone soon.

  • HTC Desire is much better than the HTC Wildfire S, it has a bigger, better quality screen, a bigger battery and a much faster processor. The only thing is that the Wildfire S has a newer version of HTC Sense but I don't think it's worth buying it just for that.

  • hi! my camera isnt working after i changed the software from xiaomi.com what to do? :( it wont even connect in the compuer with usb sync!

  • i have got the desire myself and upgraded to 2.3.3 before i done this my battery was fine since the upgrade my battery needs charging three times a day so got a replacement battery and it is the same story so i would advise not to upgrade

  • It's a very good phone! if you some problems with your phone, it's maybe cause it came jammed since it left the factory!!! For update to 2.3 visit the htc developement center on the web. For watching hd videos you will need a free bs player from the android store. enjoy!

  • pls, aw n wia can i get d software HTCdev to unlock my desire. thanks

  • I m using this mobile, i'm satisfied with the mobile, but the only problem with mobile is it's internal memory is 150mb. Please any one help me how to increase my mobile internal memory and how to upgrade my mobile version from 2.2 to Icecream gingerbird.

  • You have to unlock your phone and root then you can have a custom rom which will enable you to have 2gig internal memory My white Desire is running on Supernova which is base on 2.3, and gives me 2gig internal memory and overclock to 1.3ghz. Its very stable and smooth. I have also installed Beats audio and Xloud which improves the sound vol and quality. Cheers

  • Most Desire should be about 2yrs old, so its time to give it a new lease of life. If you have not already custom it it about time.Here's how: 1.Use HTCdev to unlock bootloader(don't worry about s on,You can install custom roms) 2.Install Clockworkmod recovery. 3. Install superuser. 4.You are ready to install custom roms, and increase your internal memory to 1gig or 2gig. For all the above knowhow head over to XDA forums and enjoy your reborn Desire, which in my opinion is still the best mid range phone around. Cheers

  • Hi Vijendra, I own htc desire, I updated it to GB 2.3.3, but now I am not able to Root my phone using reflash package. Please tell me which software you used to root the HTC desire and also from where did you find GB 2.3.6 upgrade. Thanks in Advance. Manas.

  • how do I increase the storage capacity so I can update my apps?

  • gingerbreak

  • Hi All, Can any one tell me, how to root HTC Desire with Gingerbread 2.3.3. Thanks in Advance. Manas

  • Root the phone and you can actually port over almost ANYTHING! Its internal systems allow even ICS to run quite easily, and the camera is capable of 1080p at 24fps after you install a custom ROM. It WILL shut the camcorder off after 1 minute automatically, as CMOS sensors CAN overheat.

  • I cannot switch off my mobile (shut down). I removed the battery and switched it on, its ok but cannot switch it off. Anyone can help please. Thanks

  • by rooting after rooting you will be able uninstall some preinstalled programs

  • Updating the desire has some risks because of its limited hardware while gingerbread doesn't offer any significant new features. Ill advise you to just enjoy froyo or better still install ics using some custom roms. facebook.com/note.php?note_id=225607660802056

  • The phone is a great phone,but the battery life is poor. 2 hours user time. Guys, if u are having that phone, be prepared to carry your charger with u. HTC should do something about their phone battery life.

  • Buy it it's perfect phone.From Google Play market download App 2 SD and it we will move most of the aplication to other place so you will have more free memory space

  • Hello please how is the battery life. Thank you.

  • how i can increase my internal space of htc desire ?

  • hello friends am from nigeria.i think htc desire is a good phone.am contemplating buying it.but,does it function like nokia smartphone?plz i need urgent reply.matthew.

  • does anybody know if the desire is getting the gingerbread update

  • mine got 3gb of internal space using supernova rom

  • Hello friends, am from Nigeria, currently am using Nokia C7 and i want to use android phone as my 2nd phone. I want to buy a second-hand htc desire S, but i found only htc desire second-hand available. So am now contemplating buying it instead of desire s whch is not available, but my major concern about the desire is the small internal memory. Am a heavy phone user but maximum of 20 applications is enouf for me at a time. Pls guys after upgrading htc desire to android 2.3 can we still have enough space to take in 20 appls. Or not?, should i buy the desire or any other one? pls i need ur technical advises urgently. Tanks for ur replies in advance

  • Hi how did u make the internal storage to 1.2GB from Ginger bread???

  • How did u get 1.5 GB internal when the max is 576 MB?

  • Hi, vinjedra Can you please tell me what ROM are you using that you have so much space for apps. Thank you

  • I am using Desire from past one year and I am loving it with the root and presently running on GB 2.3.6 and Sense 3.5 and having 1.5 GB internal memory and 30 GB external card and its amazing fast.. :)

  • This is THE BEST mobile I ever had! Now I have and a desire S but I still prefer my old desire for 1st phone.

  • im a mental man

  • I to ran out of space when i upgraded as well, but for some strange reason when i did a factory reset, after some weird glych of an mms that would not go away, the reset seemed to have freed up a lot of space. Now i have more space than i had before the upgrade

  • Agree with the below comment...however, just need to add. Android ICS v 4.0 is available for this phone after root. Also, if you are a fan of HTC Sense, Android Gingerbread 3.2 is available with HTC sense v3.5. All this will give u heaploads of space for apps. SO FOLKS ROOT AWAY. This is still a great phone to have :)

  • There is an easy(ish) way to solve this 1. Root and unlock bootloader 2. Install CM7 3. Make an sd-ext partition (ROM Manager) 4. Install the app S2E and move your apps to it Now you'll have up 512MB of extra space for apps :) Enjoy

  • Hey guys, i have upgraded my desire to ginger bread but the problem is that now i do not have enough space left so i want to shift back to froyo 2.2. so please help me how can i do it. if possible please share some link of my use. thanks.

  • In this htc desire, its nice use but not enough inbuilt memory compare than samsung,,,,,,,,,

  • ITs the best phone i had so far!!i changed it recently for a Htc Sensation XE. I will never trade my HTc for any I Phone!

  • The hardware is good.but the worst thing is the battery life..very poor battery. lasts for 2 hours max if u just spend some time with it...and internal memory is also crappy.what a disgrace !

  • I bought an HTC Desire second-hand from a guy who was short of cash! He really didn't want to sell. It is my first touch screen phone having come from a Nokia E71 that I've had for over 3 years. Now I've figured out how it all works, I like it. I can change batteres, put my own micro SD card with my choice of music, and the Bluetooth works well with everything. Apart from the rather ugly brown colour (which i've covered with a case),can't really find much wrong with it. It certainly is fast.

  • This phone is really great! this was one of my best mobile phones i had. but unfortunately i already sold my beloved desire for an iPhone 4. even though im on iphone 4 right now, cant help but miss my desire.. all the functionality and interactive widgets(which the ip4 doesnt have) of desire are the best! Dont hesitate on buying HTC Desire, its blazing fast and its HTC Sense is really visually provocative... plus its Android OS! so you can do almost every tweak you want with your phone. Hail HTC Desire!

  • its an awrsome mobile bu i needed an secondary camera too!

  • is ics available for this phone

  • hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he wants windows hhhhhhh hé Linux is like a wigwam: No Gates, no Windows and an Apache inside.

  • LoL is it too fast for you, or you're nostalgic of the blue splash screen? Ah, no, right - you still want to install antivirus software, registry cleaner, internet security thingy... Please help from audience - what else do people with windows need?

  • Can i change its os androide to windows

  • This is a good starting point But ICS is still buggy as it's not officially supported.

  • Why is it i can not watch may favorite movie in htc desire?

  • It's been an outstanding phone so far. No complaints whatsoever apart from thr phone's internal memory. @max can u pls guide me towards getting ics for it? Thanks

  • why don`t you mention that HTC release Android 2.3.3 for htc desire ? and I just wanted to know if we update it to gingerbread , what will be added on our cell phone ?

  • In my opinion one of the worst cellphones I ever used. Why, you ask? 1. Only 128MB internal storage. I constantly have to move apps from internal storage to SD, but some apps run only from internal storage. In addition apps run slower from SD. 2. Very weak battery. Bigger capacity battery helped a little, but still terrible battery drain. I charge it every night and in the car. 3. Bad reception. 4. Slow. Very slow. In conclusion stay away. Not worth it even as a second hand phone.

  • its not problem with phone itself, sine you dropped it -,-

  • Have the original HTC Desire with Amoled for last 2 years and at the moment running ICS with root.

  • can u tell me whats the third party application .. so that even i download it and get rid of problems :)

  • I've only dropped mine a couple of times and I have had it for 4 months, yesterday the phone would not let me open ANY apps at all it would suddenly force close all of them, then it would say I have low storage space and can't send SMS Messages, when I only had 2 downloaded apps. Then when I could text i would push the screen button to type all it would type out is "w" I tried turning it off to see if it would just go away but then when i turned it back on the HTC screen appeared then as usually after it was the US Cellular screen but after that it returned to the HTC screen and just kept repeating. In my experience, this has made me not want to buy any HTCs anymore.

  • plz reply me wid links to d latest gingerbread updates to dis phone... clean update should not lag n bugsfree...thnx in advance

  • plz reply wid link to d update or from where u gt it updated..........

  • Funny that mine has never dropped a call, any problems ive had a third party app has fixed it... now running 2.3.6 Gingerbread and battery life and internal memory is much better... Fab phone..

  • Battery life for Desire, if brand new battery, then just around 3 days with moderate use. For 2 years old phone (bought at launch, AMOLED) between 28-36hours.

  • 1. MIUI or Cyanogenmod 2. No 3. A2SD (see first google result)

  • This phone is notorious for dropping calls ! All of the other functions are better than the most important function A PHONE !

  • boss what a invention i like it i am very excited super boss again

  • Install video player application from market, there are a lot of app on market. One may suite you need. You may thought to use software decoder if available on apps to get video play correctly.

  • 1. Depend on what you would like or looking for, there are much variety/choice of ROM on xda forum under Desire Development thread. If you looking for fastest try find miui, aosp or miui base ROM. And also awesome sense 3.5 ROM based. 2. HTC Desire doesn't have any front camera, I doub't if we really use it. Except you are into online video calling. 3. Yes, if you root and flash certain ROM which enhanced memory, for example Supernova Extreme which use partition memory card to store installation apps.

  • can we upgrade it to android v2.3 and above???? how to do it?? plz suggest... thasnk you.

  • one thing more ...how you get div x or xvid on this device to run??

  • I have three questions to ask: 1-Which is the best cutom ROM for this mobile. 2-Is there front camera on this device? 3-Is this possible to get enough space on this device for applications by installing a custom ROM. Please advise with relevant links to download custom rom I shall be greatfull

  • 3 to 4 days ? with normal usage ? cool!

  • i have 3 cdma disires 6-8 hours of battery.needs recharged before the day is over.very annoying.if you shut off the gps it lasts longer. half your apps quit.if you shut down the "always "on" internet"the other half of your apps quit.

  • Amen! Hail Sensation XL ROM!

  • Hi Desire users; Runnymede ROM is the best, go for it & you won't regret it.

  • 3 to 4 days

  • wifi - 24 hours with 2 email and 1 fb client 3g - 16 hours with 2 email and 1 fb client

  • can any one tell me how much its battery time is?

  • Can someone tell me how to unlock this phone? Sim free? cuz here in my country tehy cant do so,i have tried but nothing. I tried that XDA dev tool but nothign :s. Pls let me know how you unlockeed it thans, you are making one person happy:P

  • my phone auto restarts wht is the problem

  • The official 2.3 upgrade shoulds be available from HTCdev.com, alternatively you can root it and put one of several 3rd-party ports of 2.3 on it, eg. Oxygen, Cyanogenmod.

  • There's very little that reviews have not already covered. This phone is probably one of HTC's best. I,have been using mine for nearly a year and a half and have been very happy with its features, performance, estetics,and OS overlay of Android. It was definitely at the top of its class when it hit the market. The only negative to this phone is its RAM storage. Since HTC's system takes up so much space, it just does not leave enough room for you to download apps to your hearts content without having to occasionally delete some other already installed app. Otherwise, this is a magnificent piece of technology.

  • i have htc desire a8181, the camera suddenly went blank an dthe flash light kept coming on and off. i did factory reset yet the problem persist. i dont have privacy in my settings. can somebody help?

  • Overall not that happy. Lots of teething problems from day 1. After my contract expires will definitely be switching brands.

  • how can one upgrade the desire to 2.3??? please

  • upgrade it...

  • it can even upgrade to sensation xl rom....

  • awsm cell.....it can be upgraded to android 2.3....(yay.......)

  • update to official gingerbread software. this happened to me before when i was in froyo. try updating it to gingerbread. when i did, wifi was back... if you're already in gingerbread, i guess only rooting will solve your problem... goodluck!

  • my htc desire bluetooth & wi-fi not working, wat can i do? please help me

  • I am giving US 150 for a GSM HTC Desire, if you go one, lets make bussines!

  • When u join the chord simply pull down the notification menu. There will be several options just choose mount as disk drive and ok or save. It should help

  • how did u managed to root it??? can u tell me pls?

  • Let's hope HTC will let the original Desire taste ICS. Just like the iphone 3gs was given iOS 5.0 even though it was more that 2 years old!!!

  • This device proved so within 2 months of use is that it serves more like a camera than anything else, he lives losing phone signal, even when standing in one place where the signal was no more than once, has numerous problems in multimedia features, not even on the internet connects easily set up, forcing me to power cycle the device every time you need to connect, the feature maps (using Google Maps and NDrive) do not work, applications of games for android do not work properly, catching the game and often catching the same, it happens with other applications as its task manager of the unit. The menu of the device was also done in a nastily uncomfortable, taking into account that some settings to find long lost, as the favorite part of the way HTC Sense, simply do not back the information you search for your phone contacts and some options (such as saving the application direct in SD Card) simply do not exist and are basic things that a smartphone with android technology should have. I updated the version of Android in this device, and to my surprise, did not improve at all, to contact the part that confuses the contacts features in other applications such as facebook with phone contacts that are often quite distinct and should not be mixed.

  • Ran outof memory and battery life fast

  • I installed oxygen rom after rooting..now getting battery life of almost 2 days...before that it was hardly 1 day on stock..its faster..no hangs and camera working excellent..no rebooting as had happened after official update..

  • Go to xda Developer forum or use this link for hTC Sensation XL custom software for your Desire. 1st u have to root ur phone, 2nd 1st u have to s-off ur phone. for details Go to xda Developer's htc Desire forum.

  • Sometimes is restarting for no reson. Maybe the 2.3 update is the problem.

  • I love this phone, for two days last weekend I used it to the hilt! Browsing, music, downloads, video, calls, texts etc... And it DID NOT LET UP!!! It just went on doing what I wanted it to do! Love this phone...!!!

  • i have some problem in camera when format my phone that time camera is working ok but when app & other game down load that time camera shown pink part in phone pl. help me how can solve my problem

  • hmmm... if you're that eager to know about rooting your phone the best way for you to learn and know about the things you should is to google it... search youtube for instructional vids that you need. trust me, it'll be much better and more understandble than me enumerating and xplaining everything here thru words how,what,when,where and why you should do things... try searching youtube for vids on step by step rooting your device on the current version u are on... its there waiting for you.... =)

  • anyone plz tell me how can i backup my contacts,messeages. settings and apps etc. i m going to upgrade. i want to make complete phone backup. and i dnt want to install apps in phone memory, how can i install apps automatically on sd card? and also tellme which task manager or task killer app iz best? and best file manger app too?

  • lol. Try to be useful...

  • try changing your phone... =)

  • hi guys.i m having problem.my desire is restarting 3 or 4 time on switch on.also during net surfing.any solution plz

  • I have instaled htc sync, try the dibugging mode, reset the phone from factory, deleted the sd card, change the usb port, change the windows, change the pc, change the sd card, unistal the htc sync, instaled it again, and nothing. Any new ideeas?

  • you need to download htc sync

  • From your home screen hit your menu button, go into the settings, applications, development, and make sure usb debugging is selected.. After you do that, plug your phone into your computer and it will "autoplay"..

  • but i used my handset continously after a full recharge brightness was normal ... it lasts only 3hr 15mins :( i was net surfing on edge network nt 3G bcz in here pak there iz no 3G. which andriod ver u r using?

  • Does anyone know why isn't connected with the pc? it only charge (i set it to htc sync but doesn't work)

  • dear tell me ur battery consumption if u use ur mob continously.. wifi net surfing etc.... after a full single recharge till end? reply

  • i have a8181 it has a problem from the first day samsung i9003 is far better than this htc

  • This phone is not good. Too little memory space. Have to delete all the things that I want, or it tells me not enough space, and that I have to clear my memory space before being able to use the messages application, which means that i can't text/even read a text. And I can't view my pictures from the gallery either. You may say that I could have move my downloaded apps to the SD card to save space, but some apps like whatsapp can't be moved. And I have alr moved whatever I could into the card. And the apps that are taking up the space are actually the apps in the phone itself which I don't use. And they take up so much space and can't be deleted. So actually everything about this phone is okay except for its lack of internal storage space.

  • yes u can use skype. go to andriod market and u can download it for free

  • this phone can support skype??

  • u mean its not imp to upgrade 1st to official gingerbread 2.2.3 i can upgrade directly frm stock 2.2 much easily.. rite? and dear tell me how can i backup my contacts,messeages.settings etc. and i dnt want to install apps in phone memory, how can i install apps automatically on sd card? and share ur battery consumption experience dear after u upgraded to 2.3.7, does battery timing improves? one more thing dear i bought this phone frm uk o2. when i turn own its show its logo,after upgrading my device,will it remove automatically? em a bit confused as u knw em new to andriod dnt mind em asking too much ques to U...:)

  • How did you install Sensation XL's software to your Desire?

  • u dnt have to update to gingerbread to root. actually its easier to root if you're on froyo.

  • im from philippines.. i havent tried sending mms yet, still dont have the correct network settings coz f laziness (dumb,eh?). as of now im using it, dont have any problems from its features. i even have extra features (Sensation XL software's features). its really an upgrade from the stock rom. even from the gingerbread update. its like having a Sensation XL in a Desire body. i am now running Sense 3.5, with all the animated widgets and Beats audio.. Its the best Custom ROM i had. u should give it a try. its really worth the root.

  • bro 1st u ve to upgrade to official 2.3.3 update then i ll upgrade 2.3.7 to this rite.

  • im frm pak. is there issue or missing features of mms sms in sme regions. i m a bit confused in this prb. which country are you frm?

  • how do i geh sensation software on desire???

  • My HTC Desire... age: 11months.. My desire's been with me for almost a year. its been through a lot of software upgrades, from stock froyo, to official gingerbread update, and then root, from miui to cyanogenmod7, and today HTC Sensation XL's software. htc desire has always been great to me. got all my basic necessities covered,and all my wants achieved. its,now i can say, one of my greatest phone since nokia 7110.hehe. this phone is a great buy. worth the money i spent.

  • Nope. unfortunately its not official.. and it would be next to impossible if HTC will allow something like putting sensation XL's software in htc desire. they were very reluctant and almost didn't allow the Gingerbread update for desire, allthe while they know its hardware ready for the update. bunch of selfish idiots they are in htc. I rooted my phone (don't be afraid of the word "root", its no less than a jailbreak on iDevices). its really a great User Interface. Android 2.3.7 running Sense 3.5. the animations of widgets and the whole UI are great. good thing its compatible with the screen resolution of Sensation XL which is WVGA... try it, google about it.. its a worth upgrade! you wont regret it. try searching HTC desire running runnymede by sebastiaan15 from xda developers...

  • Yes the interface gets much better with the update. The battery lasts longer, the camera (vid and still) improves.

  • DefinAtly not those specs are slow and even overclocked custom Rom rooted it would not be very fast and the graphics card is old not up to scratch for newer games .

  • dear wud u like to share ur experience after updating to 2.2.3. is that official update or not? is everything working well means wifi bluetooth video gps ,sensors and other features working correctly? reply

  • how u did this? help me i want to upgrade my device. and is it real official? im using 1st time andriod. and also share your experience after updating ur desire. specially battery timing. waitng for ans tc

  • is this phone worth buying, because speed of proccesor etc?

  • My Desire is running HTC Sensation XL official stock Software... imagine... my Desire has Beats Audio and is running Sense 3.5! woooooohh!!

  • Where can i buy LCD of HTC Desire? tnx

  • How much is the LCD of HTC Desire. tnx

  • Just install the 2.3.3 Rom for this HTC Desire, it's lot better than 2.2 and the battery lasts a bit longer. If you want your battery to last longer than just dicrease your screen brightness, put your screen timeout as low possible (15 sec) and download advanced task killer and put set it to auto-kill every half hour. This does the trick, believe me, i tested this stuff in every possible way

  • Can anybody tell me how to make fonts bigger when texting

  • Terrible battery life....is there a more powerful one available

  • same problem to me, i used apps2sd and after moving some apps to the sd still have low memory

  • Im officially rooted! MIUI Ultimate iphone theme's d bomb! super fast and really feels like iOS 5 in an android phone!

  • damn... gaining s-off and doing root for desire is way too complicated compared to jailbreak... took me 2 days of googling and watching youtube before i got the hang of it.... im currently waiting for revolutionary to install superuser app... still not done with the root.... =P

  • This works, trust me. I freed up a lot of space on my 150 mb Rom and I did not need to upgrade to GB. It allows u to transfer most of your data to your SD card even for apps which were not developed with phone to SD data function.

  • hi can some one tell me about phone mamory problem.i did download app to sd card on it but desire still using phone mamory.guys what i do now?

  • How to update HTC sense on HTC desire??

  • How to Upgrade HTC Sense to 3.5 in Desire..?? i have downloaded the Bliss setup but dunno hw to use it...

  • sounds like you need to recalibrate the touchscreen

  • I have had the HTC desire for 18 months now.its been back once for a component failure in the earphone speaker otherwise OK.it has 2.3 gingerbread works in Asia and the states.its UI is far Superior to the iphone for partially sighted people.Battery life is one day of hard use as with most smart phones.Great phone my next purchase will be icecream sandwich.

  • I have used the HTC Desire for about a year now, and it is by far the worst phone I have ever owned. I have to constantly charge the phone. When fully charged and no use, and disabling wi-fi and bluetooth the battery will last about four hours. If you do not disable wi-fi and bluetooth the battery last about three hours, again with no use. If you actually use it the battery will last about two hours or less. Charging also takes forever. I try to start the day with a fully charged battery(I charge it all night). By the time I get to work (about 30 min.) I have 3/4 battery. I then plug it in again and let it charge while I am working. By the time I get home in the evening it is dead. I usually do not go directly home. I ride motorcycles on the weekends and I just leave the phone at home because after about three-four hours the phone is dead.

  • i have been using Desire since 6 months i have problem in touch if select one application another application will open and when call is coming the answer button is not accepting how can i salve my problem

  • Well I have been using it for the last 4 months and i'm loving it. Totally satisfied with the amount I had to pay for this phone.

  • Yes visit xda-developers. I'm currently running sense 3.5 and have beats audio

  • after 10 months of being with me i am now selling my desire.... i have no regrets in buying this phone. still is the greatest mobile phone ive ever had. in terms of functions build quality and uniqueness... htc desire is still the best. i am selling my htc desire for a change. but im very happy to hve bought and loved htc desire.. hands down kudos to htc desire! =D

  • Is there any way we can upgrade the sense version of htc desire...

  • I just need to have settings options for Call History, I mean, I want to make "Call Summary" after ending each call, please help any one if possible !

  • The HTC Desire is one of the best phones on the market. They are so popular and they are a great little phone. But not much internal memory, so you will need an SD Card. I would recommend this phone to anyone.

  • i need a new battery, i'm from phillipine. where can i buy?

  • I LOVE my HTC desire phone.. the battery last longer when you use the phone alot. I have a LG Optimus also and my HTC is 100times better...great phone!

  • not great battery, my girlfriend has a samsung mini and hers goes for days without a charge... mine needs juice daily or more.

  • If any issue for battery try this one. Easy Battery Saver helps you extend the phone�s battery use. I m using and now i m satisfied with battery problem

  • whats the highest class sd card the phone need?

  • The internal memory is VERY Low, I can only have like 6 apps at once on the phone. Also the battery is not very good, have to charge 1 or 2 time a day

  • What about the battery life of this phone? i meant for hard using

  • This phones is amazing. Awesome graphics and super fast browsing to internet. You gonna love the text reflow function where you can view the whole page on the screen. With an apps like Slice It and Flying Penguins, Wow...You gonna believe that this phones has a lot of sense and brilliant.

  • have u upgraded to gingerbread from htc dev site or still in froyo...if ur in gingerbread then try using revolutionary..u ll need to download couple of thing 1st.. revolutionary from their site then superuser app from then ( in short follow this link from lifehacker: )

  • Does anyone out there know how to determine if their HTC Desire has the AMOLED or S-LCD screen?

  • It is impossible to upgrade to 1 GB because it has a base of only 512 Mb which is used for the stock room and Android downpours app to sd it helped me a lot for internal memory

  • Help me get ginger bread on this thing and I can't root please help

  • I just love how I customized my Desire the way I wanted it!!! I love the many apps I could use to personalize my phone. I hope HTC will include it in the lineup of phones to be upgraded to ICS (mine is currently running on Gingerbread).

  • yes it is most definitely a 3.7 inch screen.

  • i want tis phone..well where can i get the price index.any1 to share the web add?

  • Actually, when upgraded to a custom ROM featuring Sense 3.5 then it is well worth it. Check XDA developers forum for more info.

  • Can we scan documents with HTC desire hand set

  • To upgrade HTC desire to 2.3.3 is much easier than to upgrade the SE X10 series to 2.2

  • the camera is absolutely fantastic in bright conditions but suffers a lot in low light

  • yes you can update it to gingerbread 2.3.3 but it takes a long time, a lot of knowledge and hassle and it only actually gives you a tiny increase in speed and an option to fastboot the phone where it starts up in about 15 seconds

  • Hi all. Posting this from my HTC Desire. This is still a beautiful and enviable phone even after a year when it was launched!!!

  • hi guys, this is my first and best Android mobile. I enjoyed a lot with this. this phone's multitasking function is superb. camera is giving pretty nice pics. low ringtone volume. low internal memory (actually 150 mb only) but it is acceptable. those who r complaining about battery problems, pls understand one thing. Android OS mobiles battery drain faster than java mobiles & other OS mobiles. phone gets heated up when we play hardly while charging. that's not a big problem for me. when I start camera, (not all time.only few times) the displayed view got divided into several parts and confuse me and getting correct when I restart camera. pls help me if anyone know about this. some people are saying that, we can extend internal memory upto 1 gb. if it is true, pls explain about that. overall I'll give 9 out of 10 for htc desire. proud to own htc desire :) waiting for ur responses. thanks in advance.

  • can i update this thing to gingerbread?

  • go for the htc desire, dont bother with the 2.3.3 upgrade, it takes a lot of hassle and really doesnt do a lot

  • Hi Reshi, i have an HTC Desire and mine easily lasts a day on normal use

  • hi everyone.i have the htc desire with android version 2.3.3 and it's wonderful with the bravo hboot.but it becomes slowly alil bit.but it has more option than the 2.2 version...i advise u to try it .(rcmix s v2.0 a2sd+bravo hboot)

  • This is a fantastic phone, it only has a 5 megapixel camera but still captures some stunning photos in good lighting, it suffers a lot in bad light, but i guess that is a problem for most phones. In terms of performance this phone is fast, the 1 ghz processor is super slick even with just a single core, it plays most games on the android market, even the ones with 3d graphics. The design is really nice and good to hold, he screen is bright and doesnt suffer too badly in direct sunlight. In terms of the new 2.3.3 upgrade that has been released on www.htcdev.com, it is a lot of hassle for not a lot of result, it takes a long time and a lot of effort and knowledge, just a warning, it does not have the new HTC sense therefore it does not look like the wildfire s or desire hd, the only changes i have noticed are that it is very slightly faster and it has an option to fastboot the phone, this is useful but i dont think it is worth all the hassle. Overall the phone itself is fantastic but i dont recommend bothering with the 2.3.3 upgrade.

  • just saying connecting.... and does nothing !? Asks nothing does nothing. I have 2.2 with usb debugging enabled. Now what ?

  • Hi HTC fans! Did anyone try to install the newest online system software update. I have a 2.2 version and recently got the update notification. What is all about? What is actually new?

  • I followed you advice but i cant acces the factory reset option it's still black screen. i put the phone on charger the light flases but the phone won't turn on still any other solution...?

  • Hi guys, I want to upgrade my desire to GB but I want a version that supports Arabic language... can anybody help me in this issue?

  • Search "update HTC Desire to 2.3" or "update HTC Desire to Gingerbread" and you will get a lot of options. Watch the videos from youtube to see in detail. It is fairly easy.

  • I hv 2.3.3 official update on my HTC can we officialy update it to 2.3.4

  • Free up your HTC desire Rom without rooting I now have 50mb of Rom left after installing 15 games, whatsapp, dolphin browser,Olive premium office, app backup, sms backup, other 8 or 10 miscellaneous apps. Total app count 200 including HTC crapware (no choice) Please note, FROYO only.

  • How u update? What procedure? Pls let me know ...thanks...

  • just updated my Desire to GB and it has become so much Better!!!

  • Don't be retharded, people! This is a very good phone. First of all, before you speak, you should search a little on Google to see how can you make a smartphone be faster and to make it's battery last longer! If you would not keep the wifi, bluetooth, active sync always open and the display on 100% brightness, you should see a better battery right from that moment! And if you would not be so lazy to search a bit for "how to flash a custom ROM on my Desire" you should see how easy is to make your phone a really good one! I flashed and tried all the custom roms for this phone. I will remain at MIUI XJ ROM from xda developers because it's fastest rom for this phone. It's based on cyanogenmod, has no lags like sense roms, has good battery life (mine lasts 1 day with 3g activated), it's light with ram and i have 1GB for installing apps. Cheers!

  • thank you.

  • you need to do a hard reset on the handset that is If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP.

  • You can root it and you can update it to 2.3.4, which is the latest version.

  • confused about htc salsa and htc desire,which one 2buy?? Plzz help!! Can we upgrade htc desire to OS2.3 oficially?? reply ASAP thank u.

  • this is my first Android phone and I do like it a lot. It's obviously not the best out there but it works perfectly for me - I love the little trackpad, perfect for correcting errors in typing or putting your cursor in a specific spot without tapping the screen twenty times. I also love the tactile home, menu, back, search - but it could be just because I have fat fingers and tap the wrong places sometimes. I have had problems with the phone - I actually had to replace my original one because of a sensor issue: During normal in-call operation, the screen turns off when it's at your ear to prevent accidental taps and then turns back on when you bring it down in front of you - my sensor stopped working so I wasn't able to hang up without pulling the battery. Also, it has very little internal memory and a lot of stock applications that are set to auto-update, therefore space runs out VERY quickly. I fixed this by uninstalling all updates to programs I don't use and unchecking the auto-update box in the market. Obviously you could eliminate this problem by rooting it, but I didn't want to go that route. Overall I really like the phone - it's been a wonderful little device. Hope this helps someone :-)

  • My htc desire turrned off and it wont turn on again,battery is full but still... PLS HELP

  • i looovvvveeee my htc desire!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This phone can be updated to 2.3 (GB). And this is one of the few awesome android phones because of high pixel density, bug-less ROM & satisfactory camera efficiency. Battery performance is not that much good (as usual for hTc). Thanks.

  • go into settings media / storage and change sd card to storage only then win 7 will see your phone as a flash drive.

  • the bettery gone quikley

  • only formate is the solution.......

  • How can I transfer a photo from the phone to a pen drive? When I connected to my computer (windows 7) it indicated that I have to install a driver. How can I get this driver? I have no accompanying CD?

  • hahahahah Well said .. ( nokia 1100)

  • done this one before but IT DID NOT WORK for me... sad...

  • buy a class 10 sd card. download starburst ROM from XDA Dev Forum. partition your sd card 1024mb ext4 and FAT32 for the remaining. you will have an internal memory of 1gb. thanks to droidzone

  • Idiot how can you install on memory card?its just for storing.Better buy nokia 1100..

  • Use Ap2sd Search it on android market.

  • its one the best phone evver. my battery lasts 4 days and i talk to my girlfriend for 2 hours every day. plz stop posting negative comments.

  • i want to know " how can i install software & games in Memory Card?"

  • is 2.2 the highest the Desire can go? I'm having problems with mine and was suggested to upgrade, but apparently I can't?

  • I love this phone. i had Iphone and blackberry but this one i really love. using it with an android is a plus. picture quality is great because i take pictures of book pages i can't take out from the library. the screen is so wide. the downside though is the battery life gets easily drained.

  • Manuel, calibrate the battery. Google calibrate HTC desire battery. Mine went from 6 hours to 18. 1. connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. 2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. 3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. 4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. 5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. 6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. Sounds complex but worth it.

  • Download a task killer!!

  • i have this phone for a month. i notice the life of the battery is getting weaker and weaker as time goes by. any suggestion?? i really love the phone, so i want to keep it rather to buy another one. do i need to turned off some applications? or either buy a new battery??

  • how u people downgrade firmware ?... I'm in 2.3.3 official firmware.. . I didn't have any options to root it ... if I do downgrade only I can use unrevoke method root... help me please I need top root my desire.. ...

  • How the f%@k do they claim 360 hours standby time on battery? Mine is less than 12 months old and did the normal full charge/drain/full recharge at beginning & I'm luck to get 2 days standby out of it. That's 48 hours not 360. Absolutely bullshit. If you use the browser, you're lucky to get a full day out of it. Talk time is nowhere near specs either. On a great signal here so not pushing to get out. My old Nokia went for days on browser & talk time. The one & only HTC I'll ever buy. Thank God the contract is almost over! Good riddance to rubbish!

  • I'm back to froyo from three days after 2 months with 2.3 due to a problem with Arabic language. my desire has noticeably become slower especially while opening graphics or managing applications, but with more stable performance than 2.3, I'm happy for that & advice all users who faced the same problem after upgrading to do the same u wont regret it :)

  • I`m uber happy with this phone. Bought in UK got Amoled screen. Never dropped. got 2.3 (Gingerbread ROM) Official. changed few stuff. Battery working 2 days. If you change launcher it will work smoother than many phones.

  • All what I can say is,I never had a problem with my HTC. I have it since January 2010.

  • Great phone, great screen, great UI experience (HTC Sense), very reliable, very fast and smooth internet browsing thanks to fast processor and graphics. Hardly ever crashed even with all the Apps I downloaded, great video. Multitasking great thanks to Android OS. Infinitely more useable and versatile than the iPhone 3G it replaced. Great that you can extend the memory with Micro SD cards which you can swap in and out easily. Similarly you can change the battery very easily so no need to ditch the phone after however many months/years it takes you to knacker the battery; let's face it any smartphone battery will be reduced to a smouldering pile of crusty Li-ion sooner or later. Do that with an iPhone or other sealed battery device and you're looking at forking out for a new phone as the cost of replacing the sealed battery is so high. Of course now you can get a Sensation XE which is even better, but the Desire is still an absolute Gem in it's own right.

  • My phone only shows the black screen with 4 warning triangkes. Even i cant access bootloader. What to do flash a new ROM????

  • I owned a desire for nearly a year never dropped it no apps and battery life would not last half a day just making one call to my girlfriend. I tried deleting all apps and resetting the phone and still same results. This could be annoying when I was out in the car if ever I broke down or needed it for an emergancy I would have been stuffed. I sold the phone on envirophone and got a nokia 1800 and battery life last for days. Does exactly as it says on the box a mobile phone, no camera but it works great. When you get a smartphone it seems to be a step back in technology when coming to the battery life. Thanks for reading.

  • Yes.

  • I used Contact Remover Plus to merge duplicates, that saved me just enough to get over the 25mb mark If you have your contacts synchronized with your google account, then on the thc you can delete the contacts and facebook data while updating, and then get them back afterwards (remember to make a google contacts bakcup first!)

  • Have This Phone A Update To 2.3 Gingerbread? Official Htc Update?

  • This was an has been my fist and only phone I have had running on android... at first i thought i waisted my time with it, however i have to give a uge thumbs up for android.. This has been the first time I have been challenged to learn how the phone works the entire set up and configuration of the schemes assisted in learning the entire phone... To this I am thankful to HTC for challenging me... after that i had no hassles with the phone or struggling to find anything i was looking for... I like this so much that I have gone and played with the HTC flyer recently as I am looking for a tablet... and again my mind has been made up with the simplicity of how easy and simple it is to get use to how the device works... the other great reason right now is that Apple I-pad's applications are all cost as dollars and for someone who does not live in America or anywhere else where the dollar might not be as strong as it is it is easy not having to pay six - eight time the price shown for the application.

  • What have you done to let this phone overheat, I have had mine for two and a half years with no hassle... I did start restarting just before the last update on the android OS became available... after updating the OS the phone worked brilliantly again... After about a month... the memory started giving problems like dropping all the data and unmounting... ths was annoying as all the apps and the camera does not work without teh SD card... Thought that it was because of the 8GB or the 16 GB I normally used and not the 4 GB that was supplied with the phone went back to the GB and same problem... Tried getting mounting applications and formatting the SD card using the PC this did not do anything... After a while I started playing with the phone again and the fact that the memory card did not work was becoming a real problem.... Eventually went to Settings and SD & Phone storage where I came across the format option on the phone... Something I normally never used so I neglected to look there when the problem started furthermore I thought that I have already formatted the card "this will never work" it happened and the card was fixed. Phone has been working before and since without any further problems..

  • Friends, help me to find a unplugged english-english dictionary which gives word's meaning when we touch on it. I'm using htc desire phone. pls help me..

  • i dont know why it is auto restarting i dont like this phone

  • Love this phone, wish it had qwerty lb though

  • This phone is great iv had this phone for 2 years and not 1 problem I'm purely devoted to HTC... do 1 apple n blackberry

  • my desire rebootes randomely if data is enabled, if it isnt its stable!! hope that helps.

  • Very disappointed in this phone and in HTC. This phone tends to overheat and fry the antennae resulting in dropped calls. HTC wouldn't do anything about it when I was just 11 days out of warranty.

  • it's not the phone its google and android that's why rooting should be carried out asap but if you don't know how to then it's dangerous does anyone know of a site that can do over the air and accept visa for payment? thanks

  • use cyanogen rom (android 2.3.7) it's incredible www.cyanogenmod.com
