HTC Desire 816 - User Reviews

  • HTCD816h

  • I have been using this handset for almost 4 years now and I still consider it to be the best phone I have ever owned. The phone continues to work perfectly and has held up well considering it is used each and every day. The only problem I have these days is managing the 8GB of internal memory. As my installed apps increase in size with each update, it gets harder and harder to maintain enough free memory so the phone operates efficiently. If this phone would have been designed with 32GB of internal memory, I quite likely would never have to replace it. And I just love the stereo speakers. I really dread the day when I will have to find another phone to replace this relic from the past.

  • I enjoy this handset. I had searched GSMArena looking for the highest quality headphone output on a cheap phone. I had found a model for $40.99, but I did not have enough. When the price went to $20.99 for bad ESN, I did not get a deal I got a steal. The large screen is very bright for what it is and has accurate colors. The screen is wholly adequate until I used an M8 did I realize how unfocused it was. The BoomSound internal speakers work great and sound better by default than the M8. I unlocked the bootloader and then installed CyanogenMod with root. I installed AINUR Sauron, Dolby Atmos and ViPER4Android. Comparing the sound output to the M8 it is more smooth in the treble, so when using Dolby and ViPER I get sharp s' on vocals without high treble fatigue, and my head dives into the music. Even YouTube music sounds impeccable with Spectrum Extension turned on. The HTC Desire 816 is the best portable media player I have ever used.

  • Best buy !! tears 2015

  • i purchased HTCdesire 816 3 months ago and it has lost sensitivity on its touch screen .....this is bad guys do something

  • same here bro

  • No one duplicates it.

  • Remember how I used to love HTC, but now I don't know why I just loving Huawei, I miss this phone as my old good friend it was my phone about 4 years ago, now its in my memorie as third phone whit android, miss you old buddy and those old good college days, you survive everything, you was almost drown in toilet, I split a beer on you, was falling on floor from 2st floor and case saved you... ech

  • I miss this phone so much, wish I could go back to those days!

  • I remember this phone! It was actually my dream phone when I was 10 years old... So many memories... :). Wish I could go back to those days again.

  • i have htc desire 816h but cant move installed app to sd.please help me how i can do it ? this phone not support move 2 sd.

  • This phone sucks mad potato. 8gb storage in 2014 is too small so you always run out of space. Oh, but a microsd will fix that right? Wrong. You couldnt install apps on there before 6.0. Then they let you install apps, but they had to be installed on internal memory and moved manually. And if you ever updated any sd apps, they were automatically moved back to internal. If they had just implemented marshmalloe like they were supposed to, then you could merge stirage with sd. But they didnt, and took a year to release a crappy update that did nothing. On top of that, it is a big phone with no benefit over a standard phone. Low res, not much ram, etc. Worst phone

  • Amazing phone

  • No

  • sim lock failed in 11 months. struggled to get is replaced. sim lock failed again in 15 months. now they say it is out of warranty. sick people. should be thrown out.

  • bad phone. never buy. poor service. poor connectivity

  • Is htc desire816 phone is support 4g??

  • Nagat update

  • HTC released 6.0 for the 816 a while ago, but Virgin Mobile has not performed their part of the task, and probably never will. Bringing new versions of android to a given phone requires that the hardware vendor develop a ROM, and that the service provider modify and distribute that ROM to support their service needs. The Virgin Mobile version of the 816 (700c A5_CHL) is sufficiently different from the normal 816 (A5, A5_DUG, etc) that quite a lot of stuff is not compatible between them, and virgin USA sold so few of these phones, all of them on the prepaid model, that they have relatively few customers to disappoint and no consequences to doing so. Likewise there are so few A5_CHL out there that aftermarket support is fairly poor, rooting the phone at all is overly difficult and dangerous, and I've never found a fully functional ROM for it other than stock.

  • Keeping in sunlight wont work. Give it to phone repair shop quickly as possible or oxides will destroy the circuits in phone.

  • what can i do, i could only update mines to android 5.0 but it says to 6.0. how can i upgrade it , theres no update OtA, mines virgin mobile, what can i do

  • HTC 816 is great mobile outstanding performance 2.7 year my experience

  • Hi, i have problem with my htc 816 I upgraded my phone to Android 6.0 but i dont have NFC or USB On The Go (OTG) But in al reviews he has it???

  • Suprb, Awsme phone. i am using since 2 years. still very good performance. never hanging problem

  • Not true.

  • How to upgrade HTC desire816.?it's really annoying to see low memory messages.

  • Yes it is 4g

  • hii .. my mobile is fallen down in water and display is not showing .. and i have remove the backpanel of phone but didnt remove the battery... And I kept my mobile for 45 min in sunlight then also its not working ... So pls give any suggestion ..

  • No

  • Memory problems are virtually wiped out when you upgrade this phone to Marsh mellow, android version 6.0. You will be able to use your SD card as internal storage and of course all those annoying memory low messages will be a thing of the past.

  • I'm buying another phone due to memory issues as well, my HTC desire has served me well.

  • lack of storage and apps are not stored in external memory when i used 16 gb memory card it fail to use it only upto 8 gb is support

  • I'm sorry but since you seem to know quite a lot about htc, while I've never used a device of theirs before; do you suggest me to get an 728 Ultra Edition or not?

  • I had this phone for at least a couple of years and it has been very dependable. It still runs smoothly and the only reason I'm getting a new one is the storage. I can't update apps anymore due to the lack of storage space. I've cleared, deleted, removed, and moved everything possible, countless times, and I'm done. I have a 32gb SD card but app updates use internal phone storage so it's useless. I loved this phone, will miss the great speakers, but I'm sticking with HTC b/c I love the user interface. My neice had this same phone but her's was horrible but mine is in perfect shape! I'm happy with a phone that does what I need it to do and don't need the latest and greatest just because so I have saved hundreds of dollars over the years being patient. I'm getting an A9 at $149 ($500-600 original price) and getting 32gb internal storage! I waited for the price to go down on an HTC with big storage and the HTC One A9 was it. My 816 Desire will go to my daughter who uses less apps than I do. I've dropped this phone many times (with a case) and never cracked my screen! It's still pretty fast, and the camera is the best I've had so far. There is only one scratch from my keys on the screen but that's it. I enjoyed this phone as my first HTC and will stick with HTC for years to come.

  • If anyone has a problem with camera, the reason probably is that you dropped your phone and something inside moved. That happened to me. Next time I accidentaly dropped it, the camera was working perfectly.

  • For everyone whos camera doesn't work. The reason may be if you have dropped it , something inside have moved. That happened to me, and next I dropped it, camera was working perfectly.

  • Jio 4G: no But i saw some instruction on web to help you with other non-4G install Jio. Or you can just install some other jio apps (that don't require jio sim but jio account). I'm impressed by Jio apps, really nice apps. I have tried Jio TV app on my pc and that's great. some say JioCinema and Jiomusic are worth trying too but i haven't got any. These apps are really good to try.

  • Then buy an actual camera, boy. Lumix from Panasonic are cool.

  • I have stuck with HTC phones since the Evo 3d. Thanks to the HTC desire 816 I now have a love hate relationship with HTC phones. I have now owned this phone for a year. I understand I went from a top range phone to mid, however, I am now on replacement phone #4 (love virgin mobile for this) Drops mobile signal (with no way to know you have no signal as data is still working, can be hours sometimes before you realize calls and texts aren't coming thru.) freezes, battery failure (phone randomly turns off for hours, hard reset doesn't work, plug in and doesn't see charger, phone is basically a brick, then turns back on and it's like nothing ever happened but battery life is shorter) the list goes on. Other than that I love the phone for its large screen, it's long battery life(when no issues), memory is lacking have issues even with SD card in. It is very picky with replacement cords, I an not just use any friends charger, I always carry my own. Each replacement phone they were willing to send right out so assuming these are all common problems. They told me the call dropping problem is more than likely the antenna, as there are 2 inside the phone(1 call/text, 1 data) Phone #4 still has issues (loses signal) and as soon as I can afford to do so, it will be getting rereplaced sad to say it probably won't be another HTC. (Note: every phone had issues right out of BRAND NEW BOX none of the phones were previously used)

  • Really less phone storage .. the biggest problem is that I get a blue or pink tint while using the flash of the camera .. please does someone know how to fix it ?

  • those 710C (or Desire 816) HTC phones extend to Lollipop. i think they go all the way up to 5.1.1 now. my sister has 5.0.2 Lollipop on hers

  • typically a SIM card means it's a contract phone

  • how to update htc 816 single sim to marshmallow . theres no system update or software update option in settings. currrently my 816 is runing kitkat .

  • Same to u bro

  • What type of SIM card it takes the size

  • The HTC Desire 816 is an extremely good phone for longevity, it has even been upgraded to Android 6.0, extremely good considering it is now over 2 years old. The only two complaints I have about the phone, are that the battery, although more than adequate for daily use, does seem to degrade faster than most other smartphone batteries. The SD card is also an problematic area, as the software is extremely restrictive on allowing applications to edit the contents of the SD card, meaning third party file managers will not be able to modify the contents of the SD card. Additionally, although HTC claims the battery is non-removable, it can be replaced quite easily, as the back cover only snaps on and is not glued in place. Obviously, this will void the warranty.

  • I am also facing many issues on battery life I have so much space left but also it show insufficient storage available I am using HTC desire 816 black one

  • I have used this phone for over 1 year 3 months. The phone is splendid good on battery, sound and processor. However, it has two major issues that I had to take to seller twice unfortunately to avail. First, even though it has a memory card slot the moment you insert makes the phone malfunction until I had to remove and stay without. Secondly, the phone can hang and sometimes so bad that even the switch off button doesn't respond considering that its battery is inbuilt. These are serious manufacturer's problems that even a basic phone doesn't entertain.

  • No brother

  • is dis set hang after upgrade into next version of android....tell me guys....

  • I have it now for a year and a half. In general, it works okay, though it acts stupid. For example I have more than 200 MB more space in phone memory and want to download an app, but it says that there is not enough space (and so you know, the apps I want have small size). Many times it works slow or freezes. And what I want to highlight (and why I so don't like it anymore) is the camera. I don't think this is happening just on MY phone. The first thing is that when you want to make a selfie, the camera zooms your face so much!! And you cannot change it. It is so annoying and it's almost impossible to make a proper selfie. The next thing is that when taking regular pictures (not selfie), you must have patience or time, if I say it nicely. If the object (or you yourself) is moving just a liiitle bit, the picture is blurry!! It annoys me so much!! Like I have to stop and be really standing still to picture anything! So, THE CAMERA IS HORRIBLE!

  • Till I have submitted my phn for 6 times to service centre untill today my phn is not working well n recently I got a replacement of new one that too went for repair the next day plzzzzzzz don't buy it ANY HTC PHON (this is the 6th month for my phone in journey from me to service center)

  • My phone is getting heated when I put it on.

  • My HTC Desire 816 camera not responding. Please anyone help me.

  • I have same issues and from yesterday only outgoing is allowed and no any incoming. Sometime sim card is not read by the phone. I'm in deep trouble too. I totally agree with you, my phone also have same issues.

  • Using this phone from 2 years. Wasnt expected this much updates on this. And also stable updates. Marshmallow is pretty good. Better than apple and samsung who intentionally slow down their previous generations to promotes new one. Just for profit. I ll always go for a htc phone. Battery is still quite good. Screen is awsum. Everything is working like a charm. Storage problem also solved after marshmallow update. I recommend buying its successor to everyone.

  • Is Marshmallow android version update is available in this phone HTC desire 816?

  • My 816 have few issues. After hours of sleep data connection not establish automatically. I have to restart it. Camera doesn't recognized different between blue and purple. Internal memory is just 8GB so most of updates are not installed and not enough for even system updates. Apps in phone memory can't transfer to SD card.

  • how did you do that just wondering

  • 8GB storage --> small apps only 6.0 android available

  • I wasnt happy with mine since it lost network up to now

  • How it can be 37 gb free space brother 816 is only having 8 gb memory

  • is it good on watsapp?

  • This phone is absolutely horrible. With only 8GB of space, you will run out of space on you internal storage fast. That means no room for installing apps, and no apps means the phone is pretty useless. Not to mention it is very bulky. Do not get this phone. It is not worth it.

  • A piece of advice every one who run lollipop on this handset update it to marshmallow it'll get better lollipop is not a good build of android got problem on many devices

  • anonymous Am having issues with my playstore.I have also try to download new playstore but it is not responding on my phone.

  • Just updated and work great

  • This is OTA (Over The Air) update. Just go to your settings / About Phone / Update and check for the updates. Make sure you are on high speed internet as the download is 1GB size.

  • How u update your phone to marshmallow

  • I faced similar problem sir. Update to marshmallow...all problems solved.. because after the update you can extend your internal storage by integrating your external sd with internal memory. And now you can fully move third party apps to external card slot of internal memory.so you will have lots of space now... so all you have to do is update...

  • My HTC Desire816d is still running KitKat 4.4.2. And I want to update the os to Marshmellow. Is it must be updated to Lolipop first before getting Marshmellow update? Or maybe it is just because the Marshmellow update isn't available yet in my country (Indonesia)? Because when I check software update on settings, it just show Lolipop update option, still no Marshmellow update yet :( Is there anybody know about this problem...?

  • Please hard reset your phone once.

  • must update to marshmallow best update so far guys i finally updated my fone{desire 816 india} to marshmallow. this is a perfect update perfomance boosted a lot no lag so far battery backup has a stellar boost means battery backup has increased a lot. volume of speaker and ring tone has increased also u have the option now to make external storage to integrate with ur internal storage. means ur internal is 4 gb and have a sd card of 16 gb then it will show 20gb approx internal space. yes it can be used to install games as well important thing is u have to take the fastest card possible for lesser heat as external cards are inferior to internal memory and second thing u wont b able to remove that card as it is part of internal now. although u can switch it back to portable one but for both u have to format the card so backup card first on your pc.

  • Is it? and i dnt have enough space thats why i didnt update, i try to format 1st and then i will update. (ONLY PROBLEM FOR HTC 816 IS INTERNAL STORAGE 8GB)

  • problem solved with marshmallow update, u can install or move apps to extrnl sd

  • Update has finally arrived....m installing it...:)...

  • I have using this phone for more than 1 year and half. This phone still perform great (still using KitKat 4.4 (for me it's the most efficient Android version for performance, and battery life), battery life still pretty good, my rear camera used to had a problem, it used to be blurry :( but luckily it turn back to normal again and still take good photos, dual front-facing 'boomsound' speaker still sounds great & quite loud, and this phone doesn't easy to get hot. But unfortunately, this phone still not a perfect phone. There are some cons, there are 2 cons. FIRST, the internal storage. After for system, and stock app installed, it just provide us about 4Gb available of internal storage :( It doesnt seems enough for phone at these days. Even for me now, it just has only 500Mb availabe internal storage... If only this phone has 16Gb internal storage, it would be a much better, moreover if it has 32Gb, wow this phone could be a leading mid-range phone. SECONDLY, the Wifi. I don't know is it just happened to me or also happened to others (is there anyone that has a smilar this problem?). After more than 1 year and half using this phone, my wifi now takes a long time to turn on it. It could be more than 1 minute to just turn it on. Even these lately day, it's often that after the wifi already turned on, it went off again-_- And it did it again & again several times until it get really connected to wifi that already remembered. But when it connected there is no problem with it. I tried to came & asked the HTC service center. And the staff there told me that the wifi hardware inside my phone is already weak now. The staff told me the problem either my phone often to use wifi, or maybe other problem. And the staff said that the service will change the mainboard (can't just only the wifi hardware part only). Unfortunately my warranty is already over, and if I want to service it, it will cost 1,3 Million Indonesian Rupiah (100.1 USD). For just only wifi problem, I think that cost a lot :( So I decided to not take the service, and stay patient whenever I want to turn on the wifi haha. But beside those cons upthere, after I used everyday for almost 2 years, overall it still stands pretty good :)

  • Very good device, have been using it for now over 1 year and have only one concern with it. The phone gets extremely hot at the top of the device when listening to music over stream via mobile network so i have to switch it off!!!, but other than that the camera is perfect with pictures and videos. At first the battery lasted aproximetly a day but after an year it lasts for two days of normal usage with 3g connected all the time... Storage is the biggest issue with the android upgrade but i've managed to deal with it... Overall 9 out of 10 is my opinion cuz no phone is perfect what so ever.

  • Hi francis Just remove your phone body battery board sepperatly but remember dont turn on your phone.then store the parts in a box with 2 or 3 packs of silica gel.:) Thank u

  • I am so disgusted with Amazon, Virgin Mobile and HTC. I bought the HTC Desire 816 and it has a manufacturing defect which causes flash photos to have a dense pink tint. I sent my phone to HTC for warranty repair and they sent it back (or maybe a new phone - I can't tell) in the same condition. Now I have paid Virgin $25 for a replacement and it's the same problem. Amazon markets this phone as "A photo lover's dream." That's why I bought it. They also rejected my review of the phone. What the heck is going on?

  • Amazing phone all around

  • I want android 6.....when new android is available on my phone????for update?

  • dont try to switched on, 2,3 before

  • Yeah I do.....

  • My phone stopped working after 1.5 years of service. They told me its a board issue. to fix that i have to spend 8000Rs. Ok i spend like 24K on this thing already, and Now I need to spend 8K to continue its service. When I got in the HTC service center the customer care guy simply said "Sir, It has worked around this much time, now you have to buy a new one." So concluding these things are made to be last for 1-2 years. So spend your money wisely.

  • camera is not as good as expected...Picture quality is not good after transferring to laptop.. Storage problems...do not allow to store much data...battery life diminished after 1 year...its an average phone..

  • Dissapointed with the camera

  • To manage storage : 1) Go to settings ==> Apps (Downloaded) ==> Click on each apps and the Uninstall updates. 2) Hope you know this one i.e. To Move apps from phone to Memory Card.

  • Totally satisfied with the performance of the product, except the display problem. The display gets easily damaged where, the screen goes total blank and couldn't access anything. Good that the HTC service center is available and I had the warranty period. But it takes 6-10 days for me to receive back my repaired product.

  • I bought this phone in June 14... since then it is working smoothly without any problem. In September 2015 I was planning to sell the phone. But hearing the news about Marshmellow update and Sense 7 date by HTC I cancelled my plan to sell the phone... Thanks HTC now I can keep the phone with me again for another one year with any worry.

  • Ya it supports sinhala font

  • HTC Desire 816 is one of the worst phone in the present market.Coming to the battery Perspective it wont even come for 24 Hours if the phone is fully charged. Regarding Performance After lollipop Update phone has gone worst. HTC blinkfeed 6 need to update. Overall HTC Desire doesn't deserve a position in this competitive world.

  • well, if the company is not honoring their warranty, why are you gratifying them by not suing them in consumer forum?

  • i am really wondering how can you guys end up into such diverse issues... network receiver is bad, battery is also faulty and on top of that not able to upgrade the software! ...this must be some kind of KARMIC cycle fulfillment, i can't think of anything else!

  • I've been using this phone for about a year now. It never gave me the issues the above comments state. I am on the Virgin Mobile network. Around March they upgraded it to Android 5.0.1. This was a true middle end device that gave a lot of bang to your buck. My wife has the S5 and at less then half the price it is easily as good. So what are the drawbacks of the device. Incompatable software. What the hell is HTC DOT? And the 8GB internal storage. After AOS 5.0.1, there is less then 3 GB of space on the device.

  • Worst service. The service isn't good at all. They will take a lot of time to repair and charge money for it even the warranty period is not done. Not at all ideal choice to purchase in India.

  • I am now use htc 816g . purching 4 month ,now start problem 1.net work conncet not proprlie 2.battery to low and 3.sotfwear not upgread in this mobile iam give service centre in malleshwaram he say repair at 15 days service so bad in htc company

  • The battery on the phone was low as usual, since i was busy in office, i thought to put it on charge a bit later.... when the batter was on 4%, i put the phone on charging.... after 10 mins of charging, the phone conked off.... i thought the charger was not connected well... but then i realised... the phone just wasn't charging... i tried different switch points but the phone would not charge.... now the phone is dead..... it just gave me a battery charging problem even when it was on idle mode.

  • its been ages Lollipop is released on 816 and marshmallows is also in the pipeline now!

  • All 816 owners can start dreaming of Android's latest OS marshmallows... Hopefully sometime next year!

  • Dude.. Don't listen to anyone just go for the Xperia Z .. htc hasn't provide any updates to the phone yet not even lollipop.. where as Sony updated the Z to 5.1.1 and the battery and performance has got even better.. And Even Faster than the Shitty Desire 816

  • Worst service. The service isn't good at all. They will take a lot of time to repair and charge money for it even the warranty period is not done. Not at all ideal choice to purchase in India.

  • Bro u shld go for 816 not g only 816 it is better than Z

  • will this device get sense 7 update?

  • never heard

  • Hey Friends, ''HTC Desire 816g Dual Sim D816h'' What is the model..? Is that fake one..?

  • My experience to don't buy for HTC Desire 816. It's having band selection issue which dont have an idea many of them. while checking this code (*#*#4636#*#* .....phone information...select radio band...no options available for local band selection) If u select USA band unfortunatly, ur slot-2 SIM will get no coverage and it will not retrive any more or any service centre by doing the factory reset / hardware changes etc., (mainly this model is failure) the option is only to get a replacement if u hv warrenty..even though get same issue persist for all. No support from HTC customer care & technical support team on this issue. Friends - please dont go for HTC phones anymore.!!! pls check the codes all android HTC mobile having same issue except HTC desire 820.

  • I've used this phone for 6months since January..few days ago I dropped my phone knee high and the display was gone..no cracks just no display..but phone vibrates and I'm still able to receive calls..I have no complaints with this phone other than the build quality..if you're going to buy this..use a good cover.. P.s Micro SD slot is pretty much useless

  • Gsmarena has mentioned that, there is a LTE available. But the fact is it does not comes with 4G at all!

  • So what can i do now ? I love HTC that's why i planned to buy it. but now i need to think more about the issues as well. please suggest me a good mid range android mobile with good quality of cameras (back & front facing) with more than 1.5 GB RAM & not less than 8 GB of memory.

  • The phone is good generally. . im using this phone for almost a year now and still doing great except for the software update. . . i really dont understand why the phone restart several times for 3 days but in the end it will not update the software. . . but over all the phone is good. . .

  • i have Htc Desire 816 i used it for only 4 months then the motherboard is broken down currently i'm repairing it again by changing the motherboard but how can i use it safely to avoid this again cuz i used to be using it more than 72 hours with no rest and using it while charging it i need a safe way to use it after repairing it plzzz :(

  • kumaran, yes it does get hot after prolonged use. Not to the melting point hot, but if its in your pocket & you are listening to podcasts or whatever, you'll know its there. Also, maybe its just me, but I think the speakers (the main selling point) are horrible. My old LG Volt would blow this away.

  • device has a big issue that is heating. i heard this from the people this who use this mobile for a long time. plzz somebody tell me how it's being true? because i'm going to go to buy it.

  • I was so excited to get this phone. I did all my comparisons and ultimately decided on HTC desire 816. 13mp camera, bass boost, 8gigs....isn't much but I have a 32g ad card. After downloading apps that are useful, no games or b.s. mind u, I don't have ANY space for anything important because of all the factory installed apps that I will NEVER use. I can't even perform the HTC updates. Besides that my camera SUCKS. I've tried to reset and it still sucks. I use eBay and I can't download it's app nor take quality pictures. Does anyone else know something I don't? Am I just not using it right?

  • I personally using dis cell... and I really appreciate to say dis dat it had a great picture quality and no doubt about sound system.... lovely colors are available. ..... and most probably I insist white color.....

  • I m using 816 since october 2014... I don't find any problem...its everything is okkk....only its intrernal storage is not sufficient. only 4 GB available for using...

  • I am using desire 816 for about 5 months and i am completly satisfied with the functioning of this phone.there is no hang,slowdown,delay shown by this phone when ever i use this...and i personally recomend htc when compared with samsung...

  • Don't go for any HTC phone as the service is pathetic. After completion of warranty my motherboard crashed and also earphone. Total cost i have incurred to repair my phone is around Rs.8500/-. I will suggest go for Samsung or IPhone as service is better than any company and phone longevity is up to the mark compare to HTC.

  • it doesn't support the 4G band-with in India

  • My Friend has Desire 816 brought last year. This year around Feb the phone started showing problems and the screen did not respond. She went to the Service Centre and people there asked her for 8000rs to repair the phone, though it was in warranty period but they told her it was because of "Physical Damage". She dropped it once from hand and see the condition of the phone. My Nokia and Samsung phones has been dropped accidently many and many times. Still working fine. I will suggest everyone never buy a HTC Phone.

  • plz tell me overall performance of HTC DESIRE 816.. i am interested to buy this phone

  • Ya u can repair it....ive also done d sme mistake

  • Davethe, Actually its always risky but then my personal experience is good. So far i have rooted two micromax canvas phones and htc 816. Typically its an hour's job once you have all the required stuff ready with you. Make sure you backup your data as it would do hard reset after custom recovery. If your phone is out of warranty, then you can take the risk. You can refer to xda developer thread or a detailed video tutorial All the best!

  • hi. when this phone will got sense 7 ? thank you

  • Hi Mano. I need to root my phone but am a bit nervous about bricking it. Can you post me some links to the software or tutorials you used? How easy was it? Thanks

  • Basically when you root the device, you replace the stock_recovery with custom made CWM or TWRP recovery. When you want OTA updates, you will have to again install stock recovery and then update it and then again install custom recovery. So in short, yes you can update but then you will have to play again with the recovery a bit for this.

  • How can update htc816G duel to lollipop ...system update file about 80mb was downloaded and installed but not lollipop ...plz guide me any requirements or download link ...

  • yeah, unfortunately its true. And the reason is that its installing just too many stock apps which you can't remove and will keep eating memory/cpu and your time! :) But then not updating would also be stupid as you would miss lot of good features!

  • Is there official word from HTC if they will stop releasing updates post android 5.0? In that case, i wouldn't hesitate going ahead and rooting it so that at least i can free up some space from the phone memory!

  • Hello! I was using HTC Desire 816 in about 1 year. My phone was really good ,everything fine and here is the crap .. "Do not Update this phone to Lollipop" - Never !!! After you update it you loose your phone ... hanging ,lagging terroble. That's why i sell my if i was didn't update it i still will be with the device it's not bad. I hope im help a bit to other owners of this HTC. :)

  • Used it for about 10 months and suddenly the phone started loosing signals. No hardware damage nothing- just when it toggles between 2G & 3G or vice versa - it just kept on loosing signals. Even in idle mode - u will suddenly see no signals than u need to give it 2/3 restarts. The backside of the phone becomes hot if u have a conversation of around 10 mins. The slot for SIM card is not a comfortable one - U have to fight to bring the SIM out and in process u might damage the SIM. On connectivity - u can't compare the download speeds which other smartphones get on the same network.............To HTC makers - One expects a longer life and better performance at this price slab.

  • post lollipop update, initially i was a very happy user. But now i am facing following issues: 1. 4GB phone memory is getting exhausted very fast. 2. HTC apps which i installed, post installation, there is no "uninstall" option not can move to external card. And they become part of ROM. Very cheap way to promote :( 3. Because of all this, eventually phone starts crawling! i was wondering if anyone knows resolution without having to root the phone. Thanks in advance.

  • I did

  • I have found nothing wrong with my 816. The battery life is fenominal. Reception very good,in buildings,during storms,& everywhere else I have been.Try to keep yours connected when in car,home & anywhere else when using & not using your phone,also get at least a 8000mAH portable battery for emergency use it will recharge your phone at the least 3 times before it needs to be recharged. Sincerely , Deacon-Elec.Tech.

  • I think you should always factory reset your phone after upgrading your android. I upgraded from Kitkat to Lollipop like a month back, Out of 8 GB internal storage 4.63 GB is used by android, then other 2.32 GB i have installed apps & I still have more than 1 GB free space.. So I had like 2 GB free after upgrade to lollipop with addition of default apps which comes with android for this phone. One great advantage of lollipop is you can shift the apps to SD cards.

  • Hai my friends please anyone help me because I am going to buy a htc desire 816 this model is really good r not ? What is the exact problem in this device ?

  • This phone is awesome and has an amzing processor . Used for 5hrs on 4G and not even a single problem of battery or performance .

  • Sir, is it True

  • Hai this is KRANTHI...my HTC DESIRE 816 DUAL SIM mobile was purchased on 06/09/2014.... my mobile was very good in terms of its looks and peformance....but had few issues that rarely annoyed me...i.e (1) my earphone used get damaged easily even after taking lot of care while using them.... (2) my device used overheat if i used internet on a 3g network.....even if it is for half an hour.. last week i was browsing for about 3 hour continously....my handset got overheated....but this time it reached quiet dangerous temperatures ....this heat was dissipated by cracking the touch panel....thereafter my touch screen was not senstive anymore...and i was unable to access my device. When i explained this to customer service centre at ameerpet in hyderabad...they saw it superficialy and said it is external damage .....and it is very rare that you can get your screen cracked due to overheat which are exeption and hence you cant claim waranty for its repair...which may cost me around RS 5600 even when my mobile is under warranty period till 06/09/2015. when i contacted the htc toll free number and informed this to the person there he said the only help he can do ts to arrage a discount he said the waranty is invalid if the mobile undergoes physical damage....but i explained her that my mobile was damaged to internal overheating in first palce ....that has nothing to do wheather it was physical or software damage.... she disconnected my call.... i called the toll free no once explained...for 3 times again and again and one of executive came forword and asked me give my htc mobile to engineer and...and asked me to let her speak to engineer....as usually the engineer saw the phone again superficially told blindly that its a physical damage....when i protested how can say this with out prper inspection of mobile...he startedv boosting that he is very experienced ...he is a htc 816 engineer....and said a htc mobile cant get heated beyond 18degree celsius.... the service engineer were of poor quality expertise and technical knowledge that their way inspecting and concluding was same as that of a layman.....even a ordinary person who knows basic 7th and 8 th class physics can easily diffrentiat between a crack that was directed inside out and that which is dirct outside in... at last after a few more calls to the tollfree number my complaint was tranfered to some other person and was told that you will be contacted soon..after two day a person from htc called me ..he reiterated the same words...after explainbing him the whole thing again he asked me post snapshots of my mobile which iam enclosing in this mail... thus i was left with no other option to go to consumer court soon ...and planing to start bloging over the overheating and exploding of htc desire 816 dual...and the company denying waranty showing physical damage as a criteria for invalidating a waranty...even when the explosion happened due to excess overheating inside the device.... how can htc deny responsibility if the device explodes due to overheating within waranty period ? Showing physical damage as a criteria for invalidation of waranty....when the phone exploded due to overheating (which is an internal inherent property of htc mobiles)......is that a trap to escape responsibility?????? i dont know how htc gona justify its stand but i have faith in our legal system hope they will resolve the issue if HTC refuses to do so..... thanking you yours truthfully M KRANTHI KUMAR contact no : 9502729249 email id : [email protected]

  • Move all your important files to sd card. Switch off your phone And reset your phone by holding power button and volume down... Or up buttor check buttons combination in google.... Im not sure i did it long ago.... And after you reset your phone. Go to file manager delete all the internal memory including all folder and files. No issues will b thr your phone will work fine and you will get 3.5 gb free space. Once you did downloading share it crack version from google which allows you to recve files directly to your sd card. Use share it to recv any files. Now your done your phone will run smooth and fine

Hate it

  • How to solve the error network in my HTC Desire 816

  • Dont go for this HTC mobile. I suffered a lot. Power button is very fragile.. It will break and short circuit the entire mother board. HTC is ver very very poor in service. Especially @ chennai. I took my mobile to bangalore to get it repaired and spend More than 20 days without mobile. Awful service

  • Hi in HTC 816 u don't have video calling option spending so much and if there is no video calling then it's not wort paying 2445k and atlast there is no video calling I'm upset for this rest everything thing is good but if there is no video calling the mob is not wort for this.

  • Updated htc desire 816 to lollipop N the problem starts Device heating Battery draining drastically Hangs several times 😭😭😭&#128­557; Wat m i suppose to do nw Plz reply any one Really disappointed by this device :'(

  • I agree with you. It is good phone, but no place for any apps. more than 50% of space is occupied by software and left with only 3 GB. No place to down load which irritates.

  • my htc desire 816 was upgraded to lollipop but after the update i've been experiencing lags on my phone and it's internal storage became 4 gb and now it always piss me off whenever i press the power button because it starts to lag... how do i fix this?

  • Just an Advise: Please have a quick search first for the Reviews regarding the Upgrades and Updates of your Handset to avoid facing issues that you were not aware of, have time to read 10-to-20 reviews on hows the Upgrade/Update works on them before doing anything to your device. Thanks :) :)

  • Yep thats problem

  • After lollipop update iam facing big time problem with internal storage, it is hardly anything left, very disappointed :(

  • Wher is slow motion video capture option plsss direct me to tht feature...?

  • After the Lollypop update, the phone stutters a lot.The internal memory has becomed too low,the battery is taking ages to charge and draining quickly. Though therr had been some features added like,split camera,slow motion video recording the experience with this update has been so horrible so far.Hope HTC comes up with some solution to fix this.

  • backup your data & do factory reset once you upgrade your android, then it will stop heating.

  • i have updated lollipop but phone was geting heated very fast. .

  • Display life is very poor!!! Had to change in 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Its a good phone however the only disadvantage is, it heats up so fast....if we use app or play games...it drains power alot n CPU heats...is it only mine or???

  • It is very good phone tou but no safety two times display got broken without any impact, Just kept in pant pocket and drive the car.

  • aha, even camera features are upgraded... Now i can have two photos side by side, slow motion video capture, and few more...

  • Daul sim or single sim

  • Even i have updated the lollipop in my HTC desire 816. HTC Dot view seems to be not completely build. the settings part is missing for our phone. i tried contacting HTC people but couldnt reach them. May be ty will fix that in a patch release

  • I hv updated my 816 to lollipop, its running good and now have the dot view. bt it says dot view is not for your phone. plz suggest how it works.

  • Go for s4.

  • m in bit of confusion wether to take htc desire 820s or samsung s4... or htc 820q or 816.. plzz say me ... :)

  • nope... it does not have, but that shouldnt be an issue this days, you can buy tampered glass screen protector, for as low as $6-$12 if you phones fall so hard the screen protector will break but the actual screen mostly will not break.

  • well dear dat black dot is nothing just a dust :P .. which goes from the audio jack hole.. so nothing to worry... n i dn knw abt charginf n all.... but battery backup on regular screen on is 5 to 6 hours.. with wifi network.. n its normal.. :) with moderate usage it survive 1 to 2 days... and for charging prob... giv to srvc cntr agn :)

  • I am using HTC 816 desire for 7 months and i am so disappointed from this mobile service. Mobile processing is worst,get switch off and hang anytime anywhere. I went to HTC authorised service centre thrice but all time they just say, software updation needs to be done, then three time software has been updated. But nothing has been done so far. i was expecting any customer satisfaction call from their end, but nothing like that. I suggest think alot and go for diferent reviews before investing in HTC in future.

  • which one is btr....816 or 816g or 816 g plus...?? give me an openion if u use ths fons...

  • Hey u first learned to operate the mobile

  • HTC Desire 816 is it good to buy? tell me guys

  • i am using desire 816 since 5 month. since 2 months before i had a problem with screen now they change my mobile and i am happy with it. but now i faced a another problem in this mobile. when i increase a volume of any video or mp3 by pressing the volume button instead of volume it shows the call volume. it does not increase the any songs volume. i check it in setting but there is no any changes. i reset the mobile and its fine after few hours i found same problem. please help me.

  • HTC desire 816 is better from battery side, the processor is quad core 1.6 ((Cortex A7)) those cores consume less battery than Cortex-A53 that consume more from battery life BWT, Desire 820 is better than 816 as screen resolution, front facing camera, performance, the location of the sound rocker buttons and the lock one I recommend you to buy desire 820

  • Taiwan

  • No bugs detected at all, but it's a little bit slower than the Kitkat. The new UI is amazing but not complete, comparing it with the UI of Samsung you can give it 5/10 while Samsung one is perfect. My recommendation to upgrade your phone. New addition to the system: 1- New notification area 2- more animations 3- more options in the camera 4- new security lock screen 5- New permissions for the notification bar in the lock screen 6- task manager now can be cards (Lollipop task manager) or you can keep the old one without animations.

  • So you say that 5.1 is confirmed 4 Indian 816

  • A source from HTC india Confirmed .. it might be Vague but they had thought about it and Planned to do that.. its a Very largely followed Mid Ranger , so buggy Os will result in Bad Feedback. but you never know ,, they might push 5.0.1 now and then in may 5.1 again Cheers

  • U bought 816G not 816

  • I bought this phone last August 2014 for my son going to college. Having a phablet ita way to go. When I gave this to him not only did he fallin love with it, I ordered one for myself. We both had the galaxybS3 loved that phone but could afford the monthly cost for both phones with a contract. So to get this for $35.00 a month unlimited everything has saved me so much money compared to a $168.00 I was paying. It's now April 2015, the phone is perfection no problems, works like I just took it out of the box. Great quality and size. I normally don't believe most reviews but this phone had nothing but awesome reviews online when I bought it.

  • I am using the HTC Desire 816 for couple of days. The main problem is that on RAM. I found it 1.5 GB on the box. But on my phone details its shows 965 MB. May I know the reason?? Any suggestion ??? Please help.

  • I have it almost 2 months now and I am really happy with it. Everything goes fluent, camera works great with many options. Picture quality is great. Soundboom speakers really a ++++, sound is very clear. Battery life with smart energy is more than 3-4 days with normal internet use. Will receive this month upgrade to android lollipop, other regular system updates from htc contra: battery can't be replaced, only 8 gb memory space on phone. I prefer also at least 2gb ram but the 1,5gb ram now is also more than sufficient

  • HTC DESIRE 816 HTC's Desire series of smartphones had a decent run during the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) era. These mid-range devices catered to people who wanted a phone that would perform well and was reasonably priced. In the Rs. 20,000 - 30,000 range, these phones stood up well to competition from Samsung and LG, amongst others. With the new HTC Desire 816, the company intends to rekindle interest in this segment and hopefully reverse its run of bad fortune. This phone has a large 5.5-inch screen - a crowd favourite - and the twin promises of great camera performance and great battery life. There is no doubt that this phone will be very popular if those promises are kept. We review the phone to find out if the Desire 816 can actually live up to our expectations. Look and Feel HTC has adapted the design it developed for the One (M7), which means thinner bezels on the left and right, and more space on the top and bottom to accommodate dual front-firing speakers. The Desire 816 is more or less consistent with this tall, elongated design, but differentiates itself with a large 5.5-inch display. This makes it wider and taller than the rest of the new crop of HTC smartphones. Coupled with a thickness of 8mm and weight of 165g, the HTC Desire 816 is solid to hold. On the whole, this is a sturdily constructed smartphone. One problem with the polycarbonate body is that it involves both glossy and matte textures. As a result, you'll have to deal with issues inherent to both types of finish. In our white variant, we noticed that the glossy back attracted loads of smudges while the matte edges and front were dust magnets. HTC decided to move all the physical buttons to the left edge, probably to make room for a flap on the right edge which houses the two Nano-SIM slots and the microSD card slot. The power button and volume rocker on the left edge are made of metal - a stark departure from the predominantly plastic body. The placement of the buttons is unusual, but not too difficult to get used to. The Micro-USB port for charging is on the bottom, and the 3.5mm audio jack is on the top alongside an additional microphone. Features and Specifications On paper, the HTC Desire 816's specifications are on par with those of the Moto G (review) which retails at almost half the price. With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.6GHz, it is evident that the HTC Desire 816 is not aiming for top-of-the-line specifications. We wish HTC had chosen at least the Snapdragon 600, which is more suitable for mid-range smartphones. Graphics are handled by an integrated Adreno 305 GPU. The phone has 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, of which only around 4GB is available for use. This is disappointing, but thankfully HTC allows expansion up to 128GB using a microSD card. The HTC Desire 816 has a 13-megapixel rear camera with a flash, and can record 1080p videos. It also has a 5-megapixel front camera that can be used to capture even the pimples on your face with great clarity in the Selfie mode. The phone accepts two Nano-SIM cards, both of which can connect to 3G networks. The 5.5-inch screen has a resolution of 720x1280, which means a pixel density of 267ppi. Many of the current crop of 5.5-inch smartphones have the same specifications. The screen is crisp enough, but is dull even at maximum brightness. This in turn amplifies reflections and affects sunlight legibility and viewing angles. We think the Samsung Note 3 Neo's (review) screen is marginally better. Software We are glad that HTC has decided to ship the Desire 816 with the latest version of Android - version 4.4.2 (Kitkat) - and the new HTC Sense 6 skin. It looks identical to the software running on the new HTC One (M8) (review). This skin has the same Blinkfeed news reader on the extreme left homescreen, and a vertically scrolling app drawer. Blinkfeed trumps Samsung's Magazine app by a long shot. HTC also provides users with two other interfaces that can be used for specific purp

  • Dude the Desire816 is the first smartphone that i'm in love with because of its camera. The analysis is so great that when one is zooming in on the shot there's no failure. The photo remains clear. You have to check in it out to a store to see the quality..
