HTC Desire SV - User Reviews

  • I think you are using non standard cheap Chinese charger. - The following might help. 1. Get an original high speed HTC charger 2. Turn of your htc handset and plug it to the new charger 3. Leave it to charge for an hour or so. Don't turn it on till you see green bars - There, your handset will come to life if there are no other defects. (implement my advice at your own risk. For any damage suffered by your device I cannot be held responsible)

  • my htc is not starting and it blinks while charging what shall i do any idea????

  • It is a pathetic phone. The phone doent charge. The red light keeps blinking and the phone doesnt come up. when I showed it to the service centre they are saying that the motherboard needs to be replaced. Cost for the same is 7000. Why would someone spent 7000 when u can buy a new phone in or arond same range. I used the phone for 16 months and now its not turning on. Extremely dissatisfied.

  • Real tough deal I had with HTC. Firstly, after 2 months of purchase the second sim stopped working. ran to htc serie center at hyd. The least yiou say about the center the better it is. hopeless is the word. They asked me to deposit the phone for a week. It needs to be sent to Their Bangalore office for repair(mother board needs to be replaced). No option. deposited the phone. came back to me after 10 days and my two round trips to the center. As luck would have it exactly in 13th month ie 1 month after end of warranty the battery failed. again the same story but this time had to pay. The performance is just avaerage and nothing much to say good for a phone worh 20000/-. i decided to avoid htc for the rest of my life! Good thing is that neither the company pushes its products nor the service center owns it!!!!

  • I've used this phone for over three years, I'm ready to put it out of service. It performed beyond expectation.

  • Big disaster! Bot this phone for 20k, however facing problem since i bot it. Storage issues, battery problem, auto switch off!!!

  • Suggest! never get an HTC phone

  • I bought HTC mobile month back. the set service not satisfactory .i approached for got repaired it on shop. they are saying that mother board is not working and advised me to change it.the expenses will be approximately 7000/-. i am completely not satisfied with this set.

  • The HTC phone is the worst smartphone I have used till date..Problems from the beginning...charging not good...always low battery...phone restarts on its own...even on full battery...formats on its own...switches off on its own..and now its dead...orange light blinking intermittently...service center advised replacing phone rather than repair...truly a disaster...HTC...a recipe for disaster..now I need new battery, so can you help me where is shopping battery ?

  • change the battery and see. It worked for me.

  • The HTC phone is the worst smartphone I have used till date..Problems from the beginning...charging not good...always low battery...phone restarts on its own...even on full battery...formats on its own...switches off on its own..and now its dead...orange light blinking intermittently...service center advised replacing phone rather than repair...truly a disaster...HTC...a recipe for disaster..

  • we have no facility to take information ,repairing ,htc sv.software updates etc.

  • Phone is dead within two years. Even authorised centre guy advised not to waste money in repair but to buy a new phone. So much for HTC reputation. Earlier experience at authorised service centre at Hyderabad was very bad. After doing something without even informing me, they were not even apologetic about it. HTC must buy back such dead phones even if they are outside warranty if they are worried about their brand name. A waste of money.

  • Within one year of purchase phone had a problem. Got it rectified under warranty but service centre experience at Hyderabad was very poor. Fully dead in less than two years. Twenty thousand rupees gone waste. HTC seems to be all hype.

  • Similar problem. Phone dead in less than two years. Even authorised service centre advised buying a new phone rather than repairing at such high cost. Real waste.

  • I bought my own since november 2012 but is up to date.

  • THIS IS THE WORST PHONE ONE CAN BUY. my suggestion is to go for any china brands phone rather than buy HTC. these ppl are cheating us by selling cheep phone at an exorbitent price. we should sue them in courts. service is pathetic and repair charges are very high. my phone had restarting problem then it went totally dead. not swithching ON. service centre is asking for 8k to get the mother bd replaced. i hv dumped the phone. RIP htc.

  • I bought HTC Desire SV 2 years back. Now Its Dead, I Don't Know What to do with that shit..Thinking to buy new phone. What should i do now with that crap, Can't throw it in dustbin.

  • HTC Desire 500 I thought that I had invested in a brand but very sorry to say that my Micromax was even better, HTC is automatically switched off and get to know when touch the phone for getting update. Lost many more business appointments and calls even socially out of touch as people called me and it's out of reach or switched off. Pls suggest what to do thinking sue on HTC .

  • Agree. Faced the same issue and center asked me Rs 7500 for repair. Earlier spent Rs 2500 for LCD replacement and Rs 350 for firmware reload. Also faced issues with WhatsApp.

  • I bought HTC desire SV daul sim but on of the sim compatment is not working please help advice me on what to do so i can use the two sim.

  • If I root this phone will the Beats audio enhancement still works in audio player? If yes I want to root this phone. My phone is restarting on its own.. Its disgusting.. You can email me at [email protected]

  • WORST...WORST...WORST. i already got it serviced for being deat about 4 months back. Paid 4000/-. Again its dead and after 20 days Ser, Center is asking for 7000/- to fix it.....Never Buy an HTC again....htc should have called back ALL the Desire SV handsets for being faulty, like the car companies do. WE should SUE this company for cheating.

  • HTC desire SV is the worst phone that HTC has ever made. This phone is of no use. I bought this phone for 22k and within 6 months of purchase it started crashing and automatically restarting. Service center asked me to pay 14K replacement cost though my phone was in warranty period.

  • This phone was restarting from the day i brought now the phone is dead service center people are replacing mother board dnn

  • Hai all htc desire sv users your phone blinking or restarting i had sollution plz put in the mobile in Deep frizez

  • Htc desire sv phone restarting agian and again i have a sollution its 100% working your phone is blinking orange light plz remove the battary put in mobile in frize in deep frize 15 minutes after turn on your mobile

  • One fine day mobile gone dead ,service centre charged 8000 to repair it changing motherboard. The charge very high.It is worthless to purchase the HTC desire SV .> I worried a lot.

  • I fully agree!!

  • i agree!!

  • Tell me how to root the phone ....I am searching everywhere but even on HTC site i dint find satisfactory and working solution..this phone has many memory and restarting problems but after rooting surely it wl solve.

  • The only Soluition to restarting problem of HTC Desire SV is loose battery. Try to put some paper packing under the battery. fit it and fit the work..u wl never face that restarting problem ever, i read it on GSM Arena, tried it and its not two years without resatart ............

  • One fine day mobile gone dead ,service centre charged 7000 to repair it changing motherboard .goes on restarting even while talking worst service centres.charge very high.don't give updates of software.do not purchase the HTC phones.

  • I have the phone myself. I also had the problem of the phone switching off with the original HTC battery, not anymore with no name battery. The internal memory problem I also have, it is very very very bad. I gets full without reason, I connect the phone to computer and try to delete the LOST DIRECTORY folder, sometimes it is helpful for like 30 minutes. I am really very upset with this phone, I regret so much I paid 259 EURO for HTC Desire SV. It is so much waste of time. Other people can just send and receive fotos on Whatsapp and I cannot, because of this very very bad HTC Desire SV phone, which I have....

  • Was using this phone for past two years..slowly it started rebooting problems..which has no solution at all. This is my 4th phone from htc. Its really disgusting to say.all of htc phones had same or the other problems. Finally i hv decided to never to purchase htc products. Google out htc's other models user opinions...u shall find its problems.. Better.. No htc hereafter.

  • i have same problem of mother board for warranty period it was working fine after that all is mess so dont buy HTC product....its waste of money..........

  • Restating problems

  • I had the same problem with my HTC desire Sv. permanent solution : buy another brand!

  • worst phn ever...phn got dead automatically..service centre is asking 6000 for the repair....great dissappointmnt ....dont go for it frnz

  • This trick may totally damage our phone but it works with my one.. Keep the phone opened in direct sun light for 1 hour and then plug it to charger ...then don't disturb device for 5 min..then **hold power tightly and don't release until phone starts with vibration... Thn . this will definitely work...

  • Hi , after putting the folded paper, restarting did not stopped. I think this happened after I put the micro sd card. which has battery connections. Any more advice would be helpful. Thanks, Lp

  • Guys for Auto Restart problem here's d solution------------ Take a small piece of paper & put it at d bottom of your Battery.... the thing is that d battery is loose that's why you face that problem.... hope so this will solve your problem.... you can root your phone for those who wants to play high end games like Asphalt, FIFA, Assassin Creed...... any question related to root u can ask.... As I am also using d same phone from 2 years with root access... The Phone is just Awesome...

  • I have this phone. And I am suffering with lots of issues and the big one is auto reboot. For me its none of use at all. NEVER GO FOR HTC, INSTEAD BETTER TO GO FOR CHINA MOBILE. Support is just making us fool. They kept my phone for 10 days and then again same issue. I search on net and found that lots of people around the world are facing similar issues and htc never supports anyone and just saying to format and similar foolish things, though they know this is motherboard / chip related issue. The cheater company...!

  • same the above I request not to buy HTC phone its worst phone even then local phone

  • Worst phone ever seen. It has lot of problems and the major problem is auto-reboot during calls, messaging, charging, listening music etc. Its just waste of money and waste of time if u take it to Support. Initially they will ask you to use in Safe mode which doesn't solve the problem. Then they will re-install software, even that doesnot help. Finally they will ask you to change mother board by paying 6-7K. If we get basic working Android sets even less than 5K, why to pay 6K for HTC as we already paid 20K for it. And this HTC is crap company fooling others not to use third party applications. Just tell me why should i buy 20K mobile if it doesn't support other applications like watsapp and all. Dont ever go for HTC.

  • dear I have htc desire sv my problem is in my storg I do not know how storge phone is fully as I downloading any application so how I could sulation my problem pls

  • HTC Desire SV Restart again and again. HTC should provide good service .. any solution guys??

  • I have the same issue and I have given my phone to service center and they kept for 10 days but again same issue. It restarts frequently every 20 minutes or less. Never go for HTC friends if you value your money.

  • Phone got dead one morning and customer care is charging 5000 to 7000 rs to repair it. It is really bothering. No one is replying to emails. I recommend NOT to purchase HTC mobile because durability is bad and service is Pathetic. DO NOT BUY HTC.

  • Can Bluetooth shortcut starts problem of loop booting or proper Bluetooth problem some day I have ever faced that problem

  • Very nice phone I don't have any problem

  • htc is sooo cool beatsaudio thats built in so cool thumb up.=]

  • The phone keeps on restarting atleast 20 times a day. I have boughrt it 15 months back. The service centre people says that the mother board has to be repaired and that will cost Rs 7000. Total waste of money.

  • This problem is with the battery only, because of the battery is not so good, its expanded on surface and shrieked at connection point, just fit it properly with the help of normal paper and switch on the handset.it will defiantly work.

  • It is a pathetic phone. The phone doent charge. The red light keeps blinking and the phone doesnt come up. when I showed it to the service centre they are saying that the motherboard needs to be replaced. Cost for the same is 7000. Why would someone spent 7000 when u can buy a new phone in or arond same range. I used the phone for 16 months and now its not turning on. Extremely dissatisfied.

  • The worst phone ever on the planet earth. NO right thinking person should ever buy this phone. it is money flashed down the toilet. it just works for three months then it starts rebooting, when you are talking it just switches off. No technician can fix the problem, i just threw it in the lake to forget all about it.

  • The problem seems to be solved by fixing the battery tighter by placing little folded paper at the lower edge of the battery just opposite the battery terminal. I got this suggestion from this site only. Thanks. Others also may please try this.

  • dear friends I useing HTC DESIRE SV from since 14 months three days back my mobile was switched off then blinking red notification light only finally i go to htc sarvice center he told me this is motherboad problem it will be replace Please friends never buy this type of stuppid mobiles

  • diya I'm using his phone From 8months and three times its software has problem and after that HTC customer care people told to change moither board nd still it has problem it restarts ten times a day or sometimes switch off . So I suggest never ever buy this phone

  • The phone restarts automatically aleast 8 times a day when on Wifi. Now, I cannot even Turn On my phone and when charged, the red light just keeps on blinking. The internal storage is worst. Cannot update the apps as it keeps on sending the message no sufficient space. Lots of problems. Worst phone I have ever used. Please do NOT buy this phone

  • Very true.. I have nought this phone almost 2 years back ( after 1 month of it launch). It performed well for atleast 5 months .Then it started giving the great (reboot/crash) issue. I have gone to HTC service center thrice. Once they change the miotherboard and once they did factory reset reinstalled the OS. Nothing worked as even today its get rebooted!!!!!! Total loss. This was my first smart phone too.

  • That problem was with the battery only, because of the battery is not so good, its expanded on surface ind shrieked at connection point, just fit it properly with the help of normal paper and switch on the handset.

  • Dear all users of HTC Desire SV, i am also using the same handset. after two months i have also same problem with my HTC Desire SV handset, i have given this mobile to solved the issue three times for automatically switching off the phone. unfortunately they couldn't solve the problem permanently. then i was just doing the R&D with my HCT and i got the problem and solution, That problem was with the battery only, because of the battery is not so good, its expanded on surface ind shrieked at connection point, then i just fit it properly with the help of normal paper and i fixed the problem. just do it, may be it will help you. Thanks Pravin

  • I have been using this handset since september 2013 and not even a single problem has been reported. It's working absolutely superb.

  • Any workaround or solution for the reboot issue of HTC Desire.? Since Its more than year now, HTC is not ready to repair or change the original.

  • Never buy this phone. This is one of the worst phone I had never seen. First 2 months it was worked properly. Then started switching off automatically and I am completely unaware unless I press the power button. after 3 months touch screen was gone. Due to warranty I replaced the board and touch after 6 months the same problem started and again touch screen was failed. I am completely disappointed that, this was my first touch phone and made me a real embarrassing. Please don't go with specs and other things. Soon you will realise you made a mistake if you are interested. I got so much annoyed that when I call customer support they told they never heard this kind of problem with this mobile. These fellows are cheating.

  • never buy htc

  • This is possibly a worst handset HTC has even produced. Terrible issue with this handset is when you keep this phone in inactive mode, it automoatically gets switched OFF and you never come to know about it until you press power button again. I was pissed off with this issue and followed up rigorously with HTC. They gave me replacement and guess what, new piece also started behaving the same. My advice - NEVER EVER GO FOR HTC !!

  • worst experience I have ever had. **** HTC service experience. I personally suggest you never buy this HTC desire sv. Even I suggest never buy any device form HTC

  • good mobile i am using last 1.5 years.

  • It's a waste product from htc,it kept on restarting atleast 20 times per day.please dont buy this product.

  • My HTC DESIRE SV( black ) don't turn on. When I plugin charge it shows me a orange blinking light above htc logo in front side. I don't know what to do please help me. No matter how many hours you keep charging, it keeps on blinking... Just blinking...that's it.. I don't know what to do... How to recover my phone to normal...stage..?

  • My HTC Desire sv automatic turn of it's big problem what can I do tell me rply at [email protected]

  • hi i bought HTC desire 616 , before 10 days, but, last two days , it is restarting continuously, what to do?

  • complaint to HTC care...

  • This is my fourth dual-SIM phone and I have to admit it's the best. This is a great phone! I've been using it daily with two SIM cards for almost 1,5 year without a single problem. I higly recommend it.

  • my mobile is getting automatically rebooting for every 5 to 10 min...tried reinstlling software no use...worst HTC

  • My phone is getting switched off automatically by itself..plz dnt even think of buying a htc product if u dnt want to suffer.

  • Most pathetic one...ur ryt...i do agree with u

  • Such a pathetic phone I have ever seen Plzzzz dont buy itttttt No Value for money at all Im really pissed off no one is there to replace the phone ..working as a Manager In homeshop im crying

  • For all those facing restarting problem...its because the battery is loose...fix a small folded piece of paper at one end of the battery near the bottom of the phone...to make the battery tighter

  • I got the patch install but has not helped. Phone restarts about 3 times a day

  • Did the problem solve after replacing mother board?

  • I bought this phone in Jan13 and facing following probs: Prob1) Phone restarts on its own - ####NOT SOLVED#### Haven't found a solution to this yet. Taking for service and have to check if it helps. (1a) Called support and tried using 'Safe Mode' by pressing Vol- button during start/boot. Did not help (1b) Tried restoring factory settings and reformatted storage card. Did not help (1c) Uninstalled recent apps that I felt could cause prob, but not solved Prob2) Memory keeps getting full Soln: (2a)Found that photo thumbnails uses a lot of memory. So if you have too many pics, move to backup on PC or external device. (2b) Install app DiskUsage and delete the thumbnail memory (2c) Chrome uses unbelievably high memory. Uninstall updates and disable the app Other than above probs I liked the phone in terms of display, game performance, music and photo quality

  • Never buy this phone, i had experinced many problems such as restarting continously,hang, finally mother board complent, it need around 1000 rs for board repairing, so friends do not buy this phone it wil be wastage of money and time for this shit.

  • same problem with me frnds 1 month ago my ph automatically reboot. 20 times in one day. and one day it automatically switch off and not turn on only charging light bling . plz frnds tell me what is motherboard cost of desire sv . totally wasted ph . plz frnds never buy htc ph

  • Yes i had also faced the same prob.

  • Yes i had also faced the same prob.

  • My HTC DesireSV was working fine for 1 yr till warrantly. Few months back i faced continuous reboot/switch off. i given Bangalore Indiranagar HTC service centre. they installed S/w again. Recently my mobile dead & its shows charge light blink while charging power. when asked to service centre, they said mother board issue HTC should address this issue for the same model

  • I have been using HTC desire since 16 months in this duration,I have submitted the device 3 times to the service center. 1st time - Abnormal switch off, hence replaced Mother board 2nd time - sim slot issue, SMS was not being delivered 3rd time - Touch panel issue, disgusted with this phone..

  • I have been using HTC desire since 16 months in this duration,I have submitted the device 3 times to the service center. 1st time - Abnormal switch off, hence replaced Mother board 2nd time - sim slot issue, SMS was not being delivered 3rd time - Touch panel issue, disgusted with this phone.. Never purchase this phone.

  • I'm also facing the same reboot problem...has anyone tried restore factory settings option....

  • I have used this phone for more than a year, and it is a very reliable phone. I have not had any issues with it. I don't know why the other comments here keeps on telling that this is a bad phone over and over, but it is not. They may just be online trolls who were paid to make this phone look bad so no one will buy it. I'm quiet sure, HTC has a quality team who check each product they manufacture, thus, HTC is a known brand for its quality products.

  • It is worst model HTC DESIRE SV. do not buy any product from HTC. MY MOBILE restarts more than 20 times in a day.

  • yes recently even my htc desire sv faced same problem.Orange light blinking and my fone does not start. I took it to nearest service center and they told me that my phone's motherboard is scrached. So i need to replace it and it will cost me 7000 rs. Now what to do??? any 1 help ??

  • i bought this HTC Desire SV black last February 2, 2014. after almost 3 weeks of using, the unit began restarting again and again. so we brought it to the accredited service center and it took vacation there for more than 3 months. it was just last monday that we got hold of it and now we have another problem. the second sim is not functioning so we have to bring it back again to the service center.

  • the same problem happened with me also, I shut down my phone manually. but after that it never get started. My phone warranty is over, i already got one replacement under warranty, this is second time i am facing same kind of problem. I am with you guys for any legal actions. My email is [email protected]

  • HTC is totally wast of money . same motherboard problem have to replace . seeing that every on having problem and the solution is replace motherboard. the permanant solution is stop buying HTC.

  • same problem with me bro......i too purchased on dec 2013....wat a bullshit htc....

  • HTC Desire Sv is the worst phone i ever bought in my lifetime and now i have promised that i will never ever buy a HTC product and make my friends aware too. I bought this phone in india when i went there for a holiday and after 10 months suddenly one day i switched it of while sleeping and the next day when i wanted to switch it on it didnt ON. and when i plugged in the charger its blinking orange light. I am in UAE currently and tried to repair in soo many places and couldnt repair....i tried to contact whatever possible customer care representatives through website and e-mail...nobody cares... HTC BRANDS ARE WASTE OF MONEY.....

  • true

I had recently changed the motherboard also as the orange light was not going and the phone could not be charged. Luckily it was in guarantee. Lots of problems now

  • Did you do anything about it?

  • Average phone ,no enough internal storage .sound quality is good ,800x480 resolution doesnt fit for 1080 pixel hd movies .repairing charges are blunder..for eg. If charging slot is not working turn it could be replaced only with 8500 bucks!

  • Hey bro, I am facing the same, my HTC Desire SV show blinking orange light if I plugin for charging. When I contacted HTC Service Center they told it was boot problem and asking for Rs 8000/- to replace it. My mobile crossed 1 year so warranty. So how did you fixed this? Let me know if your phone is fine now..

  • Whatsapp problem now solved, but some times mobile automatic switch off

  • i have solve my whats app problem just today i dont worry coz htc desire sv upgreate is come and upgreat ur mobile in wifi only upgreat 14 mb file and just installed thanx

  • Hey, I solved the whatsapp problem on my htc Desire SV by simply removing the battery while the phone is switched on.. keep it like that for few seconds then put back the battery again and switch on your phone..And you'll hopefully be able to use whatsapp on your device :-)

  • It is jst for whatsapp

  • Mahesh I have faced the same problem with this model and also have tried to get HTC to find a resolution but to no avail. I am also looking for a legal battle in this regard. It would be better if we fight this battle together with others also joining in. My ID is [email protected]

  • Hi , Could you please let me know how to proceed with legal action against HTC in consumer court . My HTC Desire SV got switched off and a red light is flashing when ever I charge it and its not turning on at all. I am fed up after all experiments and I want take legal action on HTC.

Is it jst a whatsapp fix or any other bug fix is also there?? I can't install it ryt now...showing some error...it will.b coz of rooting .. So if itz jst whatsapp I don want to unroot for d fix... Kindly install and give reply fellow HTCians.. Thanking you..

  • I bought desire sv in dec 2013. After a few months it started crashing occasionally. The frequency of rebooting automatically was once or twice per month. I thought it might be dur to some incompatible app and ignored. Now after finishing one month past one year warranty it started crashing frequently. At present it reboots automatically 25-30 times a day. Htc service center asks to replace the motherboard at a huge cost. Further there is issue with whatsapp. There is a serious manufacturing defect in the phone, I think. Don't buy Htc.

  • HI this is worst phone ever I see in my life. It restarts minimum 20 times in one day. customer care center was very poor in Chennai. Every time I went to TVS Service center they simply reset factory settings and says ur mobile will working properly. Please do not buy HTC products in INDIA.

  • i too faced the same problem of motherboard death, within 15 months of purchase.

  • Dont ever do the mistake of buying this phone ! Had to get the motherboard replaced while still under warranty. Now post the expiry of warranty the motherboard crashed once again. The phone is as good as dead. Apart from this there are problems with battery backup, design as the battery does not fit in the slot & phone keeps getting switched off (so had to insert a paper to fill the gap) & speaker problems. Total waste of money !

  • The charging light blinks but the phone is unable to turn on. Sheer waste of money. Got the handset replaced twice due to the motherboard issue. Finally now when the warranty got over, Service center is charging 7000 Rupees to replace the motherboard. Don't buy HTC phones. they have very poor hardware reliability and above all very poor service in India.

  • worest mobile i ve ever bought 1 yr n my set is already dead n no can fix it

  • it supports jeally bean or not ??

  • Worst handset that i have ever used. get switched off automatically, does not support whats app, overheating, and does not support YOUTUBE and many other applications. Gets slow in between.

  • Poor performance of the device.Whatsapp not supported properly and many bugs r thr.Rebootig of device, over heat,etc. Avoid to take this device...

  • Hi it's very very good mobile

  • Good mobile it's charging is very good and music is also good .picture clarity is also good.

  • Super mobile

  • worst handset ever made... facing too many problems related to mother board..and even problems not attended by the htc people.. too bad!

  • Same issue i m facing.. in warranty 3 time change my cell motherboard because of whatsapp application. many time i called to support team but they can't recognized the problem.HTC support is very poor. They told HTC desire SV is not supported to whatapp app....i paid 22,000 rs for this mob and simply whatsapp is not supported

  • Hi krunal I am facing the same issue for rebooting and whatsapp and HTC support centre people are hopeless I replaced motherboard 3 times in warranty and then replaced complete device still the issue is not resolve Please dot buy HTC handset

  • This is a typical problem with desire SV and HTC is just ignoring this. Wakeup HTC. This is bad publicity.... This seems to be an engineering issue and nothing to do with SW.....

  • I bought desire sv in dec 2013. After a few months it started crashing occasionally. The frequency of rebooting automatically was once or twice per month. I thought it might be dur to some incompatible app and ignored. Now after finishing one month past one year warranty it started crashing frequently. At present it reboots automatically 25-30 times a day. Htc service center asks to replace the motherboard at a huge cost. Further there is issue with whatsapp. There is a serious manufacturing defect in the phone, I think. Don't buy Htc.

  • music and camera quality awesome but its continuously restarting after 10 min... waste HTC

  • I am facing problem of frequent reboot and have periodically updated the software. It is definitely not recommended to buy hTC as it is waste of money

  • Please don't ever buy HTC products its literally waste of pennys...Performance is very poor.

  • I facing the similar problem can any body tell me how can i sue them..they are not accepting as thier fault..we should do some thing about it

  • Dont waste ur money on dt Shit, Buy new phone , atleast it ll work . Spending money on repair of HTC is waste,

  • I agree , we should put it on HTC social media for defective problem

  • I am also having same problem, this is a defective product, that's why SV is withdrawn we should claim full value form HTC

  • this is one of the worst mobile i ever had .....i just got it 1 year back for 21000 bugs and after the warrenty period is completed..it got hanged off...consulted htc centre they asked to replace motherbord which costs 10000 spending 21000 is only waste for this mobile..better throw it in dust bin

  • yes recently my htc desire sv faced same problem.Orange light blinking and fone does not start. I took it to nearest service center and they told me that my phone's motherboard is scrached. So i need to replace it and it will cost me 7900 rs. Now what to do??? any 1 help ??

  • Bought HTC desire sv b4 1 year, from d day of purchase facing d problem of reboot, power off, incoming Cl problem, phone hang, watsapp not working properly, can't download many apps etc..

If anybody want to waste money dn Dnt go any Whr, HTC is perfect place . China Mobiles are e1 better dn this worst company.

  • if u want to waste money its best option

  • A week before i buyed Skullcandy headphone at the time when i brought it starts but from last 2 days it doesn't support but other headphones connect to this phone n my headphone gets connected to other phone but it doesn't support this one. Any suggestions

  • Same problem is been faced by me too. Automatic Reboot, system crash, whats app hanging, etc etc. Never by HTC devices. Its a bullshit and waste of money.

  • I am using desire sv since from last 1 year. This phone gets reboot automatically and hang and whats app abnormal behavier. Never go for HTC phone. My other friends have HTC other models but the problem is same. I will advice that never go for HTC. Very Bad phone and customer support. [email protected]

  • This was the worst technical experience. This phone gets switched off on its own. I got the replacement but the problem remained the same. Will never go for HTC again. Thinking about NEXUS 5.

  • I am using this phone since last 1 year. Though this phone worked like a charm for a few days, but slowly it started doing abnormal stuff, like reboot automatically, hangs a lot. Felt a lot of performance issues. If you want to buy this phone, then its just a no-no. I have heard very good reviews about HTC handsets, but this one seems to be exceptional. It seems company has taken this out in some kind of hurry. Anyways, it was a waste of money for me.

  • Hlo J m using this phone from last a month.. But I m thinking I have never been such a bad experience of automatic abnormal shut down,or. Abnormal crash of this phone....n whatsapp crash aswell. I think every bd should try to sue this HTC co into the court..... Totally bullshit phone..... Highly recommended not to buy

  • the phone is bullshit in the sense of usage. its get switched off on its own. as i have been with this device for last 1 year and during this span of time i have submitted it 9 times to the customer care center for repair . please as a personal experience purchasing it was my one of the worst mistake i have ever done it in my life pertain to purchasing such expensive mobile.

  • I have been using HTC Desire SV, I bought it because I want a good high end dual SIM phone. However this phone is waste of money, the phone hangs often & becomes dead. Its internal memory is not managed properly which causes application to behave unusual. Like Whatsapp crashes and sometime does not open. The application like TOI crashes or not able to connect to internet. Another problem with the phone is, it sometimes does not connect to internet even when all signal and network condition are good and from same location for same SIM on another phone internet works. I will strongly recommend not to waste money on HTC.

  • I have also got the same phone but I found one remedy for the autoreboot during switching on the Bluetooth... Here is the solution.... It is recommended that before you switch on the Bluetooth first clear the cache memory using any app from the playstore... It worked for me and I am very happy...

  • Hi all, this is to update that i got new replacement of my problematic HTC desire SV on dec-13 (after 5 visits to service centres & 2 times hardware change).

  • For battery blinking problem service person told that u hv to replace motherbord Bt not required if u charge Ur battery directly by external charger for full charging and after that plugin it in phone and start the phone...it will start...try it....

  • Really this is non sense phone,I have submitted five times to service centre to get resolve for switching off automatically. Motherboard changed still issue is not resolved, my suggestion is do not buy any HTC

  • change ur motherboard. it wl solve ur all batery problem

  • Unable to Download apps from google playstore... There is showing a problm ...

  • Its a hopeless phone.Its switching off automatically though i bought it in april 2013.Once its CPU has been changed.Its a sheer wastage of money.

  • A great phone ...... i own this phone from more than a year ... camera is nyc if u have knowledge to use it ......ye having some issues like touch screen sometimes does nt respond ..... cpu is really slow ..sound from speaker is just below human audible level ... v bad speaker though when u pulg in gud headphones or speakers it just blows ur mind good things : nyc cam...dual sim working nyc ...battery backup gud .. looks nyc .. feels nyc .... nyc audio (only in plug in ).....feels delicate bt trust me a rock hard phone nothing happens to it even if falls from a 20 ft ..... rains no prob .... dust no prob...moisture no prob .... i give it 7 on 10 bt i love the phone

  • I am using it from last May, within 3 months i had touch issue, company have replaced the display screen.It is getting switch off automatically. Please think before you buy this phone.

  • It's a bullshit phone, I ever had...Whats app users don't ever buy this phone.

  • Problem with Whatsapp.... Hangs by itself and den fails to reopen. Then had to reinstall and dat too without restoring old messages (since if I restore it will hang again - Have to install it all over again). These problems are repetative and no permanent solution for It.

  • Horrible Phone!!!!!!! Phone has become dead twice within a year..... stayed with service center for 20 days. Also encountered a strange problem with Whatsapp.... Hangs by itself and den fails to reopen. Then had to reinstall and dat too without restoring old messages (since if I restore it will hang again - Have to install it all over again). These problems are repetative and no permanent solution for It. HATE IT!!!! All prospective - BUY ANYTHING BUT HTC!!!

  • Worse phone i hv ever use my money to buy....my phone just went off and never came back...I try to recharge it and it will be blinking all the time..does anyone have an idea about it?

  • Thanks bro!!! That helped me a lot!!! But rooting has not solved my problem, i could still see the temporary loss of contacts!!! like i could see Black screen when i open contacts and again i checked with all developers and they are still working fro Jelly Bean ROM for this mobile!!! Hope they complete fast and moreover i enquired HTC service center and they have also not updated new OS for this mobile and not sure when they'll do it!!! All these problems in this mobile is purely due to the Android ICS, That's why they have stopped it and released Jelly Bean!!!!!

  • Its awsom cell phone no hanging no problms its depend on ur use

  • bullshit phone one of the worstphone i have had so far

  • the phone is bullshit in the sense of usage. its get switched off on its own. as i have been with this device for last 1 year and during this span of time i have submitted it 9 times to the customer care center for repair . please as a personal experience purchasing it was my one of the worst mistake i have ever done it in my life pertain to purchasing such expensive mobile.

  • The phone has given me nothing but trouble from the day I bought it. It keeps shutting down atleast 15 times a day and even HTC service center dont seem to know what the problem is. Their standard answer is reboot and dont download apps. Why did I buy a smartphone if I cannot download apps. Terrible buy overall.

  • I too had frequent memory low problems.Because of which i wasnt even able to install a dozen of basic apps. But then i rooted and swapped the memory.Now my memory card act as phone memory(which is thankfully 8gb).Tell you,the phone's hardware is quite powerful.I did play Asphalt 8(Low Setting),Virtua Tennis,NFS Most Wanted,Shadowgun and it worked flawlessly.The only downside was the low RAM which sometimes caused lags. So if you want to install tons of apps and games,i suggest you to root the phone at the cost of warranty(as ur fone's a year old,its anyway void now). Other problems,No Idea Boss :)

  • Hi there, I did just a basic rooting(SuperUser and Memory Swap).The OS is still stock.So any issue that pop up in the Non-rooted will still pop in mine. Detailed explanation about rooting can be found in the Desire SV xda-developers page: Again warning:it will void your warranty And i dont think rooting will solve the restarting problem.May be a Custom ROM can. Anyway its all upto you. And about the restarting problem, i think its some-kinda OS conflict on running dual-sim. Thanks.

  • The worst phone ever!I have been using this phone from Jan 2013 and it has crashed upto several times and frequently shuts down and restarts. At first I thought it was some of the apps that caused it so I decided not to download any apps after the last factory reset. But still its crashed. Another lacking part is front camera and internal phone memory is very low..cos of which we can not add HD games or more applications and cant move apps to sd card , its a big minus . Eventually it developed a charging problem where it does not charge at all. whenever I connect the charger the charging light keeps blinking endlessly. So now the phone does not power on at all. There is only one plus point and that its Beat Sound which is superb, but to spend that much bucks to get only one plus and lots of minus is not a good choice. I would never go for HTC again and would not recommend anyone else.

  • Bro, You have to restore factory settings, and Android needs to restart from the beginning, all the installed apps will be lost and one more advice, please don't use the bluetooth button, it'll be hell of problems

  • HI, After a year of total usage, i say that i had one of the worst experiences with this mobile and using Dual Sim is a problem, But since you have rooted, i hope you should not have any issue. Moreover could you please let me know how to root this mobile, your suggestion will be highly helpful!!!! Thanks, Yagnesh

  • All people having Frequent Reboot Issue,are you guys using Dual Sim or Single or did the problem pop up after adding the second sim? Coz I have been using it for the last 7 months(in single sim) and not a single issue,but planning to put in another sim. Since I am rooted and so no warranty,I do not want to take chances. Replies are highly grateful.Thank you

  • The worst experience with a phone ever!I have used this phone for about five months and it has crashed up to three times aside the frequent shut downs and restarts. At first I thought it was some of the apps that caused it so I decided not to download any apps after the last factory reset. But still it crashed the forth time. eventually it developed a charging problem where it does not charge at all. whenever I connect the charger the charging light keeps blinkig endlessly. So now the phone does not power on at all. Does anybody experience similar problem/s with this phone and how did you resolve it.

  • Hi Sam I accepted these type of will occur in 4-5 months I bought the mobile in Jan

  • Hi guys , i am using it for an year since it got launched last november. Design is so attractive,nice display, audio is good. so on and on. the lacking part is front camera and internal and phone memory is very low..cos of which we count add HD games or more applications and cant move apps to sd card , its a big minus . so if u use for bussiness purpose its awesome. if u r a game freak dont go for this as memory matters

  • are there new ROMS available for this phone bro?? can u plz tell me an easy way to root also?

  • Go to the Consumer Forum

  • hi kishore, what about the ram of this device by antutu benchmark test

  • Guys give me review abt ths phone.. I want 2 buy ths so plz..

  • hi. friend i have bought huawei g 600 whose ram is 768mb as specified but antutu benchmark says 626mb ram.Haa this mobile has768mb ram or not by antutu and i have approched akosha for similar problem.tnq

  • Hi friend i wanaa by this fone, what saying about this

  • You guys are facing the similar problem of phone switching off and on 6-7 times a day and even during making calls. Visited the service centre, they advised battery malfunction. They took the battery and sent one through courier within a week. Thought the problem was over. But the same still persists. Read a comment by a user to put in a paper slip and insert the battery firmly. But the same still gets rebooted. This is very irritating. The phone is barely 8 months old. HTC would not replace the same. They have advised to deliver the phone to HTC service centre as the same is under warranty and they would get the same repaired. What is the solution to the problem. Has any one got the same repaired successfully through HTC. Or it is an inbuilt problem, which cannot be rectified. Kindly advise in case I give the phone to HTC for them to screw up the phone. Is there any other remedy.

  • Great phone, display is fine, Camera is superb! Phone is fast and smooth, dual-sim works like a charm. Only downside is the battery, could have more capacity. But still worth buying. Excellent value for the money!

  • disply is good, it is not supports mupltiple application, some application get crashed offen pls don't buy this phone

  • good mobile

  • I bought htc desire on sep 12, I am facing the rebot problem continuouly.I is not using for any purpose. I recomment never go for htc.

  • I bought in May, memory issues, cant play HD games, crashed three times one day; finally it crashed and won't start. I hate it, here is my advice...Please don't buy.

  • Actually desire sv is a very good product but can be better if the memory is increased(64GB), dual camera its the best

  • I bought HTC phone 3 months back. It worked fine only for 1 month. It gets switched off without my notice at least thrice a day. Customer Care just deletes all my data every time i g there without resolving the problem. HTC is Customer F***king Co. Please do not buy any products of HTC.

  • Consider yourself lucky that you are reading this post. I bought this phone on Dec-12, with in 4 months, it started to auto reboot on its own, after searching in net, i was totally taken aback on knowing that there are millions of others who are facing the similar type problem in HTC devices. My phone has gone to repair for 4 times in 10months, still problem is unresolved. I escalated the issue to the customer care. I am 28 year old, in my entire life i have never come across this type FRAUD company and customer care, who continuously harras a poor customer. They are not ready to accept the fact that their device is faulty. All they say is that they will repair my device for free of cost till warranty period. Do not believe other reviews/comments, as the problems with the device starts only after 4-5 months of purchase. Till the time it gives the feeling of heaven. after 4-5 months you will see HELL. no wonder why HTC is losing its ground in front of SAMSUNG & others.. I have no hesitation in calling this a FRAUD COMPANY....

  • hello dear, myself Krishna, I am using this phone around 7 month back , facing many issues such as hang, switch on n off again n again, sim slot 2 prb, when I went to service canter then they replace my mother bourd 3 times ,, m facing lots of trouble from this phone, thanks htc ,,,, I don't want go with this phone thank you..

  • BBM not supporting on it! Why?!

  • I have been using HTC desire SV for 5-6 months for now. Not facing any major issue but it does not show 3G sign. Great camera.....phone with beats audio, an extra advantage for music lovers

  • Do one thing my dear.. Go opt . Manage app aftr that select whatsapp n there is one option that is force stop n clear data.. no need to install again and again.. Thanks

  • can you tell me , the time of battary life after complete charge to be zero? its spend 10 hrs if I not use it. and 2hrs or 3hrs if I use Internet

  • GREAT PHONE, CAMERA IS ALSO TO good ......I already use this phone last 5 months and I do not face any problem

  • Purchased HTC desire sv 5/6 months back. Facing no. of problems since then. It's motherboard has been changed once by HTC service center but not giving me in writing its new imei no. Then again faced problems such as auto restart, auto shut downing of page n automatically reaching to home page, auto shut down during receiving call n name/ number of caller can't be find in call log, auto flashing/ wavering on screen etc etc endless. Is this phone is eligible to be updated to Jelly Bean ? If yes, when its OS will be so updated ??

  • Graet Mobile wih awesome UI, Ofcourse HTC's UI is the best in the market. The dual sim features are good and simple. Best part is It's battery easily stand on for 2 days with a 6 hr wifi and 1hr of calls & 30 min of chatting and 30 min of music. if on standby easily goes upto 4 days. grat screen resolution, handy& compatible size of 4.3",never hanged. smooth play feel on subway surfers & temple run. great camera clarity like all HTC phones do. Totally a fully value for money mobile. Only negitive thing is it's just HTC Sense 4.1 and the android version is 4.0 ICS it would be a great thing if they can give us an update to jelly bean & HTC Sense 5.0

  • htc mobiles one best facility...Internet pass-through..

  • Please tell me how to update it to Jellybean, I would love to do so....!

  • do not purchase HTC. His problem Charging

  • Same problem with me also... It auto switch off on my incoming calls and when i am surfing internet.

  • finally d worst phone ever i got 7 months ago now gonna exchange it with desire 600............. before 9 days got it from gallery because of software and today again to gallery but this time directly to company.......

  • Whats app doesn't work on this hand set. when it is uninstalled & re-installed, the error comes- you have 'third party task killer' installed, whats aap might not work properly. it is shocking that i have not installed any 'third party task killer' it also true that, it restarts some times.

  • This is superb phone. I am enjoining this phone...

  • I bought a brand new HTC Desire SV phone at price Rs-19000/-. After using it for a 3~4 months, after my travel during 22nd May 2013 to 4th June 2013 from Pune -Delhi - Beas, Punjab - Pune, I figured a problem with the handset that the screen has gone blank, the phones received were giving echo sound. The moment I returned to Pune I went to the nearby service center (Galaxy, Pimpri, Pune). They submitted my device for sending it to the Technical service center Mumbai and told me that they would intimate me shortly about the repair status. The Service Centre has written "Not able to Power ON", which was wrong, therefore I did not sign the Job Sheet prepared by the Service Engineer & refused to accept the terms and conditions. As a protest against this act of mine, after a week, I got mail from them asking Rs 7961/- for the repair of the phone. They told me that there is liquid damage and some parts needed to be replaced. When I asked for the details of the repair, they sent me that quotation. I refused to pay them anything because my phone was still under warranty but they refused. I wanted a replacement of my phone at first and they refused it. Later I found under the warranty norms that company is liable to replace phone only if they were unable to repair the phone. So I wanted them to repair my phone Free of Cost but they refused it to. After so many efforts of futile conversation with Customer Care and Service Centre people I felt so depressed and mentally harassed. Then one day I accepted & approved their Quotation as they were holding my handset with them. The handset which was given on 6th June 2013 was collected by me on 29th June 2013, but to my surprise they did not return the damaged parts replaced in my handset. Today, while surfing on the internet I came to know about AKOSHA and I am submitting my Complaint against Bharti Airtel to Akosha, that HTC has never replaced any parts on my handset and looted me therefore i humbly submit that ; (1) The reparied handset should be replaced (2) The amount of Rs.7961/- collected from me to be refunded. A PERSONAL ADVICE NEVER GO FOR HTC ANY PRODUCT LEAVE ASIDE DESIRE SV

  • Great phone with greater bug! Cause has 2 sims, has 2 internal storage. The problem is: it doesn't know how to manage between them. Result: the memory is always full and you cannot do anything with your phone (pics, social n., etc.). HTC Curtomer Service doesn't know how to fix this bug.

  • am really enjoying mine for the past 2 month, HTC desire sv is superb.

  • I have been using Desire SV for a few weeks and it is working fine so far. No re-booting issues. Perhaps the problem had been resolved earlier on. My request to HTC concerns the sms messages interface to allow me to select sms message(s) as 'Read' without having to click and read every individual sms. This facility exists in the email user interface and should also be made available for sms messages. Having used Desire S and Desire V, I notice that the Phonebook still prevents the creation of more than one 'Mobile' number per Phone contact but allows multiple 'Home', 'Work', etc. numbers. The 'Mobile' label should not be limited to only one per contact. Some contacts have more than one mobile number.

  • HTC Desire SV is one of the worst phone with auto reboot issue, switching off, Battary Charging Problem Taking full day for full charge. Now this is the 4th time I am going to submit this mobile to HTC Servicing center. Suggesting not go for any HTC Desire SV phone.

  • Bro its the problem of the Battery, i faced the same problem just make sure the battery is fit tight, fit in with some paper in between, and the phone is disappointing too

  • I got this phone in February this year...was working fine till last month when it suddenly started restarting again and again. i visited the service center and they said that it could be some virus due to apps downloaded. They formatted the phone and said it will not happen again. Within 2 days now the problem has started to reoccur. They are now saying the motherboard needs to be replaced. HTC is the worst handset manufacturer and I can say that with confidence since I have used 5 other brands...will never again buy an HTC phone..

  • DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE RESTARTING AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Worked fine for first 5 months and now it is restarting again and again. It restarts every 10 mins if wifi is on Never ever opt this phone...

  • I had same type problem, it is restart again and again.

  • Please reply.....i bought htc desire 10 days ago. Now its gone dead. Not charging,not getting on..what could be the problem ?

  • Thanks for the information. I think htc is a good phone. But not, now a days SAMSUNG is better than htc. The samsung smartphones have no complaints yet. So in next time try to buy a SAMSUNG smartphone. All the best.

  • I've had my SV for over four months, used in North America and EU mainly UK Not user problems to date. Like all dual SIM phones it is heavy on battery use. My only problem is that I can not obtain a spare battery as no other HTC model seems to use this particular battery type. I use both a private and business number for mainly talk, text, email and internet browsing. Phone came from the Ukraine and is set to use UK/Australian. English.

  • One of the worst phones in the market, have been using it for the past 6 months. The phone has a severe auto reboot issue, it restarts about 15-20 times a day. Please do not buy this phone, can anyone suggest what can i do? Will HTC replace this phone

  • HTC Desire is one of the worst phone with auto reboot issue. Suggesting not go for any HTC phone. My mobile is repaired for many times but I am seeing still reboot issue. It's just six month old mobile so Now I am planning to go to consumer court, if they don't sort out my problem immediately.

  • worst ever phone.. using it for 6 month, no network, 15- 20 times switch off, already 3 times to service center.. replaced my phone, but again same problems occured.. i think this is a problem with the model desire sv itself, nobody can correct the problems.. never purchase this model of htc>>> total wastage of money

  • guyies I m currently using this phone first of all at this price does n't.hav frnt camera nd than doesn't support Hd videos even 720p nd also hangs up sometime when u store some 5 ,6 heavy apps or games or any antivirus but although gaming experience is Gud camera is nothing too be excited abt Ram is only 768 mb nd Internal memory is 4gb means 2gb user so games lik Nfs couldn't install nd all apps stored in phone memory so need to download es file explorer but music clarity is Gud with beats audio I hav bought on the name of HTC but disappointed so if u going to spend 20k spend it on HTC one x or one x + or on apple iPhones

  • I think i felt cheated buying this phone :( constant switch off and not even 1 month my phone is in service center for 4 days... any positive reviewers alive?

  • I am using this phone for several months and it has proven quite useful to me. above average battery backup,good gaming speed. just that it can't play 1080p @ 30fps. else its gr8. 7 on 10 (score)

  • I purchased this phone in the month of DEC 2012, But in 5 months of spam period i visited 4 times in services center regarding problen in handset, phone switch off several times in a day , & network issues , these are the main problem which i handled,,,,,,,,,,,,,so my experience is not good about this phone

  • I bought this phone on Jan I m unable to receive call while mobile data is on ... Dono Wat to do

  • I AM ALSO FACING THE SAME PROBLEM DO THE SERVICE CENTER GIVING THE SOLUTION TO THIS PLEASE TELL ME. Gets switched off automatically... almost 4-5 times back to back.. The phones looses the network every now & then although the signal strength shown is full...

  • worst fone restartin evry now n then I plead dnt buy this fone

  • I face the same problem about switching off. It's because of dual network options. disable second sim card and reenable after tripping finishes it solved my problem :)

  • I bought this phone in the month of Feb.. Like many others i am too facing the same list of problems in this phone Desire SV: 2 MAJOR ISSUES: 1. Gets switched off automatically... almost 4-5 times back to back.. 2. The phones looses the network every now & then although the signal strength shown is full... Others r like it does not play hd videos & videos in mp4 format properly,, heats up quickly, etc.... Plzz don't go for HTC now... other models like VC also have many complaints....

  • I got this phone in February this year - finally moving to Android from Blackberry. While i certainly miss the BBM and Blackberry mail, this phone has not disappointed. The screen,gaming performance, camera & battery life are all great. The design of the phone is the highlight and draws attention. I did find it a little user-unfriendly, but now i have gotten used to the way it works. Great phone!!

  • Using htc desire sv since last 3 months.It is a fantastic phone. Display quality is very good. Visible in sunlight also. Touch response is very fast. Camera Picture quality is awesome. Only drawback is Jelly bean update not yet released by company.

  • I Bought a HTC SV Desire mobile in the month of Feb 2013 within three months am having frequent problems in the handset like automatic switch off, Frequent hangup, No proper service backup, Touchscreen is not sensing properly. Its one of the worst mobile pls dont buy. It not even worked properly for one month. I got the problem on the first few days itself but they assured it will corrected. But nothing happened till now.

  • I m facing serious problem of frequent restart in HTC Desire SV, bought just 20 days back. Can anybody guide me to approach htc to get handset changed. Thanks.

  • fantastic HTC DESIRE SV campare to Samsung Grand.... i m using this phone since last 2 months.. i satisfied... no problem with batery... it has 1620mah as Samsung grand also has 1620mah... but samsung grand batery heated campare to Desire.... keep dis in mind... dnt install unwanted useless apps.... dis cud be restarting problem...

  • I am writing this review after 5 months of usage.. this might be the most pathetic device from HTC and because of that htc stopped its production just after 4 months of its launch...Hardware is not so good..battery life is pathetic..no front facing camera..no hd recording..phone faces a crash and restarts every now and then...pathetically slow internet speed...even sometimes it doesn't recognize my sim cards as well..sometimes u may find boiling water with this would save some energy..no software upgrade from htc..jelly bean!!!ahh forget it..if u are making a mind to buying this phone..plz dont there are other ways to waste ur money..this is not the actual way to do that...buy justin bieber's cd..that would be better than buying this phone..

  • I love my htc do death.gud fon.

  • Serious problem with the phone, auto shut down, and auto reboot. shutting down more than 10 times daily, can't even do a call

  • Pathetic handset ever bought it in january and have got the mobile repaired two times even at the time of writing , my handset is lying at the service centre no spares available at the service centre of kolkata pls do not ever buy htc think 1000 times before buying . Poor after sales service of HTC ...... wind up htc ur time is over .....................

  • Worst phone i ever seen on HTC with pathetic internet speed No front camera and video playback for 1080P Wasted my hard earned money instead i should have gone for galaxy grand.

  • This is the worst phone as it is giving me below problems within 3 months of use. # automatic restarting while using it or during the call # now the phone is dead. Not switching at all! # very bad camera # no front camera # can't play hd videos

  • excellent phone

  • go to redigton care center in chandigarh. parts cannot available in tvse service center chd

  • nice phone in range of 20k. really loving this phone.

  • yes the phone is getting extremely over heat..i 'm thinking whether the fault is wid my phone or wid the entire model

  • I bought htc desire sv 2weeks back .... problem that i'm facing is even if i speak the call for 5 min the phone is getting extremely heat and i could n't place it at my ear any more..Is the problem wid my own set or totally wid dis model??

  • I bought HTC Desire SV 6 months back. Last month I started getting problem with the mobile set - the phone gets switched off automatically soon after switching it on. I submitted my set to HTC Service center at sector 47 C Chandigarh on 6th May. They said that I will get it back on 18th (12 days after) the period itself is too big. I requested them several times to reduce the period as it is very difficult to live without mobile for 2 weeks. They said that they don't have the part to be replaced. They will start working on the part as soon as they will get them. Now when I approached them, they are saying they still haven't got the part. So they need another week to return it back to me. How come they still haven't got the part when I filed the complaint 2 weeks back! I am totally helpless as it has been already half a month without my set and they are asking it for more time. This is not expected from company like HTC whose mobile you buy because of support values of these companies at the cost of extra bucks.

  • change cover if you are using the bad one , it happened to me also but then i changed cover

  • what this mobil model no: please

  • Always chose b/w HTC and Apple due to their quality. 1.The screen resolution should have been atleast 1280 by 720 or 960 by 540. 2.Horizontal lines on screen are clearly visible to naked eye(due to lack of pixels & resolution). 2.Should have supported 720p recording or atleast playback. 3.No panorama mode. 4.Makes a fool out of the 8MP camera & 4.3" screen due to above 3 disappointing features. 5.HTC sync is not detecting the phone(Tested on 3 computers running Win7). 6.A very low quality pair of headsets.(not in-ear) My advice go for the older One S or One X.I for one do not care about battery life or need to have a removable battery.Don't even need Bluetooth. Feels like I've been cheated.

  • I bought samsung galaxy grand three month before. but i am not satisfied.so i swap htc desire sv. its an incredible and pretty phone. totally it is awesome dual sim phone.

  • this mobile battery capacity too small.

  • i don't know when h t c will give us option of front facing camera on dual sim phones. this is what makes others brand stand head and shoulder in the marker in dual sim phones to h t c. if someone reading this who is directly associated to h t c plz acknowldge this suggesion and interduce some good dual sim cell phones with full fuctionalities.

  • This is the worst phone i have ever seen in my whole life. Full of bugs...I feel like making 1000 pieces of this phone and sending them back to HTC. I bought this HTC Desire SV phone 3 months back in India. Earlier it was shutting down 1-2 times in a days but now it shut down almost 100 times in a day. And these service center guys want me to pay almost 40 euro for shipping and handling fees in order to send it for repairing even its in the warranty period. If so whats the need of giving warranty. Is it just a way of making people fool ? If its not working good even its only 3-4 months old, Its HTC responsibility to provide me it working. I already paid sufficient amount in buying this phone and if this kind of problem is happening even its not 3-4 months old why should I pay 40 euro more on repairing ?

  • I'm facing the same problem that u r facing on u r desire sv reallyy disappointed what to doooo,,,it is of 17days only.......

  • I bought this phone 4 months back and I am facing the major issue. The phone gets switched off automatically 1 or 2 sec after you switch it on. If by God's grace, it does not get switch off, believe me if you try to make a call, it gets switched off. I found my friend facing the same problem with HTC desire SV. Be very careful if you are tempting to buy this.

  • 3G is only on the first card.

  • Guys, please carefully buy this phone. It looks good first but trust me, it has too many flaws. Old Android OS (No update information till now) Cannot play 720p videos, leave alone 1080p Very low internal space (Ridiculous) Too costly in comparison to Samsung products with same specifications. I am using this phone for 3 months now and really disappointed & frustrated with the outcome. Please think before you buy, my advice, go for samsung products.

  • bad....................480video /no front camera for video calling....sim option not so good

  • if u dnt know hw to use the smart phone smartly,y r u blaming te product?????

  • superb phone..mast.......

  • Nice phone from HTC in low price but here are some flaws 1) No front Camera 2) No dual sim active 3) missing some basic facilities like memo, file manager etc. Shortfalls with other competitors are 1) RAM can be 1 GB 2) camera quality not so impressive as samsung 3) internal memory less

  • I have purchased this phone 4 months ago. It is giving problem in detecting sim card. anybody with solution? htc care says manufacturing defect in handset.

  • does anybody know if this phone will be updated to jellybean?

  • this phone very good phone for educated persons only

  • Best phone according to price much much better than Sam grand awesome touch and less chances of hanging so I should recommend to by this phone than grand or canvas hdhe

  • i have 2 take a new phone so suggest me.

  • awesome dual sim phone.... :)

  • gud one around the prize....

  • I have bought this set 2 months ago. Sometimes SIM network falls when I use two SIMs and keep internet on. But this set performs very nicely and speedily when I use just one SIM.

  • i brought this phone about 4 months ago, worst phone of all times. 2 times i have to get it repaired as it starts restarting again & again after turning bluetooth ON. anyone reading this post pls dont buy any HTC product.

  • Nice phone, i use for last 2 months.

  • what is it mean buddy? explain more,what's the different? No Dual Active option only Dual Standby

  • Exellent piece ! No regrets at all! Should go with this one

  • same problem is with me..m not able to play modern combat 4 in this phone..but on youtube there is a vedio playing modern combat 4 on this phone..dont know how they do it.. :(

  • I have taken pictures in Nights & in low lights, But i didn't face anything like this. I Don't think it would solve by Resetting the Factory settings better to walk to your nearest HTC Center....!

  • nice phone ...but low mmry .i have only 1.10 gb mmry .and i cant install hd games like Max Payne.

  • 3G speed not getting .......

  • Hy Mohit, If u value ur money then don't dare to go for windows OS, It's the worst OS I Ever seen & used. Go for Desire SV its a worth mobile with dual sim features

  • Firstly I would like to suggest you to go for this one because of its Handability & Workability, Its UI is awesome and no lags & hangs even when playing huge games for long time. If you want to have a Phone which Occupies Beyond your Hand and you dont mind UI, Go for Samsung Grand. You cannot move the apps to SD Card as we can only move them from Phone Storage to Internal Storage & Vice Versa. Offcourse u dont need to transfer them to memory card since you have a good enough internal storage. But u can Bcakup ur apps everytime using the apps like App Backup & Restore or by extracting apk file using astro filemanager

  • Just Download some File manager app like "ASTRO" or "ES File Manager" from Play Store, you are done.

  • Awesome Android Mobile, Particularly HTC Sense will take your breath. Its a great Combination of HTC Sense & Android rather than any other Android Devices in the market. I being a fan for HTC Sence and Android, I also Used all Android Mobile right from Sony to Micromax. Here are Pros & Cons of this Desire SV. Pros: 1. Gr8 UI 2. Sufficient Screen Size, Not Bigger Not Smaller 3. Simple Dual SIM Options 4. Gr8 Sound Quality in Earphones 5. No lags & Hangs while playing games like Temple Run 2& Subway Surfers 6. Awesome Camera & Video Options Cons. 1. Battery Life is Okay, Not great but not Bad 2. No Dual Active option only Dual Standby Strong Competitors 1. Samsung Galaxy Grand (Huge in Hand and Poor UI than HTC) 2. Micromax A116 (Canvas HD) (A Bit Poor Display quality than HTC Desire SV)

  • htc desire sv is an awesome phone...the cam clarity Is too good,music with beats audio actually makes a lot of difference and gaming is super fun on this phone...don't know why people hav problems with this phone...but this is an awesome phone better than grand...u can go for it!!

  • This phone is awesome in every way, got in Rs19600 in New Delhi, only bad thing is the old Android OS & crappy HTC Sense.

  • For the last two days I found that my cell is getting switch off. its not because of low battery..can somebody fix this issue ?? waiting for your valuable reply..

  • is it bettter than sumsung grand or htc bettter

  • HTC Sv is a great phone but as it is a electronic device it has its own glicthes.. PROS: battery life is good it will go one day easily without charging...use internet ,listen to songs and play games. Music quality is good. camera is good and have lenses. CONS: have memory issues... you can't be able to install games like NFS... not upgradeble os . low RAM in this range. user interface nothing new as usual HTC sense...samsung user interface is far much better.

  • I am a huge fan of HTC. I think they make the smartest most under rated android phones in the market. The HTC sense UI is brilliant and samsung is not a patch on the build quality and integration in HTC devices. I had the desire V before this phone and since the last month have the desire SV. No complaints at all. Its fast, fluid, battery is a little poor, but what can you expect from a dual core 4.3 inch super lcd scree. Never liked any of the Samsung Duos series. Tried the Galaxy duos which was shit. The HTC is much better.

  • is the call wiating to be activated in sim settings like when not reachable or its like samsung duos call forward thing bcos my prepaid sim netwotrk proviber doesnt support call forward ?

  • yes sim 2 call indicates when sim1 in a call or uses data.

  • is the call wiating to be activated in sim settings like when not reachable or its like samsung duos call forward thing bcos my prepaid sim netwotrk proviber doesnt support call forward ?

  • coz rest of the mmry is used by sense UI

  • desire sv

  • grand is a competitive phone for micromax canvas 110.... htc can never be compared to grand..

  • yes .. they said by march end one can go for update of o/s through service centre

  • mobile is awesome.. but without using 2g net, only by playing games and watching videos.. battery drain up within 4 hrs... service centre said its battery problem.. about to be replaced.. still waitng if you are very specific regarding music.. you dont have different modes to play music.. thats the boring part inpite of it features beats audio (its a good one of course.. its very clear).... call waiting features is good..(for one question above) fantastic ram with 768mb and 1 ghz pro.. it is faster than 1 gb ram and 1.2 ghz processor samsung mobile. the most sexiext part is the yellow backcover.. i liked it most.. looks wise its stunning over all i give the phone 9/10...

  • Hey guys , It's a dual sim android phone, Does it run smoothly even when two Sims are loaded ? Does it provide the faster processing. ? What are the drawbacks of this model ?

  • yes it have call waiting facilities from sim2 when sim1 is active for call. on using net u can received calls from both sim. HTC desire sv is a very good phone .

  • hi...i thought to buy this ..can anuyone confirm who has hands on experiance .. will it support call waiting from sim 2 while the sim1 is active in voice or data call ?

  • gsmarena please review this phone.

  • go for HTC desire SV. battery backup is good.it has 9hr talktime, 4.5hr net, 6.5hr video playbacks. enduser ratings is around 40hr . go for it.

  • go for htc desire sv....becoz in galaxy grand, pixel density is too low for a grand 5 inch phone...which is a grand failure...go for htc no doubt.

  • Battery is too poor, backup provided is only 1 day around 20h(2g)only and HSUPA network is only one sim. Most apps(call recording,mobile tracker & baidu browser) is working only one sim. Internal memory is only 2GB not 4GB.

  • I just bought this phone but I think there is problem with camera wid this phone cause when I am going to click some photos in night its blurry because flash is to closer to lense. can any one knows any setting? or its device problem?

  • It has 4 GB memory but the Android OS and HTC's Sense 4 also require space from the internal memory. Because of this, you only have a little amount of the memory available to you.

  • tnx for u r information

  • This phone costs almost the same as Samsung galaxy s3 here in sweden so its over priced due to the bad spec. Another crapy phone by htc just like that htc one v I used to have

  • This is main issue of this phone apart from other specifications. This phone does not support the movement of apps from phone storage to sd card. Out of total 4gb internal memory, 1.8gb is taken up by OS, and the remaining 2.2gb is divided into two parts i.e. internal storage (1.1gb) and phone storage(1.1gb), and this phone storage is treated as the sd card for apps. So u wud not b able instal any app which has a bigger size, i.e. NFS most wanted.

  • above its say internal memory is 4 GB however its actually 1.10 GB.....Why they have written 4 GB?

  • prince i m using 16 gb memory card then also i m not able to download the game

  • Why not to buy this phone! 1. No Front camera 2. Having 8 MP camera, and it still records in 480P. 3. Low pixel density - 217 ppi pixel density. 4. 768 MB RAM only. - They could have included the above features and sell it by increasing cost to 2-3k more.

  • please reviews this phone

  • The specs are defining it a great phone. However, the worst part is that "no front camera"...should have been added :(

  • dude that game size is 1960MB and its internal memory is just 1.10GB which is less or else put a clean memory card of 8GB where the game can be extracted fully

  • dude that game size is 1960MB and its internal memory is just 1.10GB which is less or else put a clean memory card of 8GB where the game can be extracted fully

  • i buy this mobile yesterday and i m trying to install need for speed most wanted, but i got error while installing that i don't have space in this mobile. can anyone please help me and can i able to download big games please help me in this

  • camera quality is 720p not 480p

  • chipset isn't snapdragon

  • 1 more thing I wanna tell about this phone dont put any software which are not signed

  • gud phone dual standby... jz problem with internal memory jz 1gb.... temple run gets slow after continues playing of 1hr...... battery disappointing..... phone gets heard to 42 degree while charge and use...... problem with Bluetooth bcoz its get on and off continuesly when u connect to laptop...it jz requires HD games..... little problem with ICS..... at f price of it I jz say I wasted ma money.... better buy Samsung galaxy S advance or Motorola atrix 2

  • does both the sim are active...? if i'm using sim1, sim2 will be active....? can anyone guide me!!!!

  • damn phone!!!!!!!!!!!!so pricy.480 p video

  • this phone phone is too good

  • does it support 720p videos...?kindly tell me fast..i m planning to buy it.

  • But no front camera note that too.

  • How Rs 8000 less its wrong dude.

  • its good. dual sim, features, good sensitive touch screen, good internet facility, richness in look. battery backup is not enuf for all above things.

  • HTC desire sv now available for 19k in India..

  • Some One Tell Me About HTC Desire SV ...... Battry Backup...?

  • Nice phone Sleek looking fast booting of course front camera is absent. internet very fast and full support. camera is excellent. HTC seance is very thoughtful. very clear sound. of course you can't have every thing in one phone. good for internet users, kids those play games, substitute for a good camera, this phone is aimed for tech-wiz. not for common normal middle aged person. I love the phone though I am 50+.

  • battery back up is not good and red line triangle prob

  • Supar

  • 8 MP Cam and 2 dual core that's all! Galaxy S Duos has single core, 5 MP Cam, 768 MB RAM, Secondary Cam and is almost 8000 rs less than Desire SV. Definitely Galaxy S Duos worth every single penny!

  • desire sv has less feat than s duos. no compass, no front cam, 3g on one sim only, low internal memory etc.

  • go for HTC desire SV it has more features then Samsung Galaxy S Duos.I M using it......THNX> & Regards.

  • No. U could no be upgreded in jelly bean. Go wid galexy s duos. It is ugradeble.

  • Awesome phone...i just loved it...!!

  • I cannot receive calls when on the internet...

  • Just get htc one x or samsung galaxy s3.

  • Used the Desire V for two months, changed it to Galaxy S dues. Sold the Galaxy after 6 days...my worst phone ever. HTC user interface is better. The dual SIM daily use is much more better and easy. The Desire SV is my next phone.

  • Android dsnt support dual sim active. Samsung`s Galaxy s duos also hasn`t dual sim active

  • this is a good phone but not having front camera in the cost of 21k is the super worst thing only of this,this phone will not made their position in the market.........

  • It doesnot hv a secondary camera for video calls...... Also dual sim is not active.....its just like using a single SIM phone.........No equalizer and no 5.1 surround effect in video player.....Really a big drawback for a smartphone....really a shame on HTC ...as d phone is much costlier than its Samsung counterparts......Samsung s duos is a better option anytime......

  • Dear GSMARENA team Can we have review of the HTC Desire please?

  • No compass in this phone..... Its troubles while using maps :(

  • It really looks gr8. How much is the talk time 4 this? Battery specs r missing :(

  • The reviews are not that clinical. Design is rated as 6.4. It should be a perfect 10. I own a Desire SV; it looks stunning. Features are decent- 8 MP camera is awesome. No front camera is a drawback however.

  • Daulcore cpu can play up to 1080 but rather go for sony xperia

  • Samsung and htc is way overpriced,you can get a sony phone with a better gpu and a qaudcore cpu

  • look is awsome...bt heard about low speed processing...cost in d current market is 22,000...nice! bt no use if it lags..also xperia p has 275 ppi resolution....compared to htc 0f 216!!!..way too behind..any 1 used this cell......???plz tell

  • i hate to say this.... phone hit-up very fast when in use. and i don know suddenly my sim card is unable to read suddenly since last nite! i thought that its network defect, but when i put the same sim to anothe moblile it was well and fine .. so i try to insert and reinsert again but still not working.... i jus bought 3 days back!now i ve to go to dealer again or service centre... this phone is eating my brain-up!

  • hello guys plse told me that htc desire sv can play hd videos like 720p or any any application???

  • Its common with these phones,use task killer to stop hidden running applications,install juice defender from android mkt.

  • i have bought this phone 21900 just 12 days ago and its very good i like it. Its look, display and size is too good. but the problem is its battery life working only 4-5 hrs. in 2G net connection but i'v manage and second thing is its heating when i use continue or more than 2 hrs. and lack of secondary cam. inspite of this its good dual sim and dual core phone for me.

  • Didnt found the interface user friendly , it sucx big time . No secondary cam that is worst for the pricing . Also memory of 760 ram is too low ,it could be best if the pricing is around 10,000 to 12000 inr . My suggestion dont go for this phone as there are more options with better configuration than this of same range of price

  • Dear GSMARENA team Can we have review of the HTC Desire please?

  • Is the phone upgradable to 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)?

  • Was About to buy it but when i laid my hands on it, i was disappointed coz it doesnt have a secondary camera and the pricing is too high, should be 15000 to 16000.

  • Doesnt HTC know That Samsung GALAXY D Duos is Available for 16000 bucks. though HTC is offering 4.3 inch display and dual core procssor, is still a bit slower and no secondary camera. the pricing should have been around 15000. and please you need a secondary camera to call it a smartphone. too expensive.

  • Does it comes with a jelly bean update

  • Rather good. Why not 2000mAh or more?

  • Does this gets slow when you switch between applications or multi tasking?? because S Duos does get very slow. whats the price in india.

  • For those who are having this phone Just want to know how much is the applications memory? Thanks to all

  • just bought yday, let me see, so for so good. good clarity, excellent camera, browing i can give rating of 7 out of 10 on sim 1 (with auto mode)recommend to buy this mobile, for the people using for dual sim..

  • Hi All, Please dont go for this mobile, I am facing hardware coding problem whil running the 480Pixel movies. Sound quality is amazing but the battery back is worst and the processor perfomance is poor!! i have fight back with the dealers and got the replacement with A110 super canvas 2 white its amazing!!

  • faboulaous nyc

  • This Htc comes with a card slot 32gb

  • WOW, Has HTC become like APPLE??? Just like Apple is stubborn never to include a Micro SD slot. It seems HTC seems stubborn no to include a front facing camera in its dual sim phones!!! Why is there not decent GSM+CDMA dual sim dual standby phone with ICS4.0 and a front facing camera(with enough ram and CPU power and a good 4 inch + screen) :-(

  • DLNA has been around for some years and in the last 2-3 years it has found a place in most TVs. DLNA allows you to stream media content between devices connected to the same home network, without having to store the content on both devices. A few examples of how you can share content From a PC/MAC to a TV From a NAS to a tablet screen From a smartphone to a music system It is Advance Application, and doesn't matter if there is no DLNA

  • bought it for inr 21400 in delhi. good phone. feels like a big boy whn held in hand. performance quite well. dual sim i.e gsm + gsm. has got fm radio too. loudspeaker not too much loud. havent tried headphones yet but i think tht they shall be quite good. plays 720p movies with mx player comfortably. shows approx 1 gb space for app storage and 1 gb as other memory which can be used as our storage for pics, music, videos nd other stuff. overall good device but it could be priced a bit low nd d ram also shud have been atleast 1gb.

  • hsdpa=umts=w-cdma

  • it is gsm +gsm ... it is not cdma

  • Deaf friend, i want to buy but there is no proper information about sim1 and sm2. Some says it is cdma and gsm while few dealer says both is gsm llease reply i want to buy only if there is gsm and cdma. Please let me know both card internet working or single card

  • there is no DLNA, this is really surprising....

  • there is no DLNA, this is really surprising...

  • no secondary camera so worthless to buy at this price

  • its ics 4.0.3

  • in 3g its not work properly in india and video chat its tak more battery then if u need frent cam ?

  • in india onlt this to colours .

  • for almost dual sim smart phones, Htc didn't give secondary camera..there is any specific reason or what? i want to buy it, but both the mobiles in desire sv or desire v dont have frnt cam

  • I am also facing same problem battery is draining fast with gprs. And also phone heats up while browsing. Is it a general problem or defect?

  • i like this phone but why white color is not available ?? i want to buy the phone but only in white color.All the sites like flip-kart are showing only 2 colors black and yellow.Anyone have any idea as to when white color will be available for this model?

  • Another review, somewhat disappointing

  • plz mention made in country name of all mobile sets exmple.. made in china ,made in japan made in tiwan etc

  • I want a review by GSMArena on this phone soon coz I really love the looks of HTC phones but ya they are a lil pricey and somewhat a lil low on specs. Compared to Samsung phones like S Advance, its way better in looks, but i must say S Advance is better in specs bit seriously too low on looks. So i'm waiting for a review on this phone soon by GSMArena.

  • secondary cam must

  • Secondary camera is very important in chat and vedio call , so this is defect

  • You are 100 % correct dil...comingf future is all about 3G video calling....dont encourage these phones with this much price tag..please think HTC...

  • This price without front cam is notworthy at all...guys, go for Samsung Galaxy S duos..Coming future is all about 3G calling...remember dear guys...

  • Flipkart says that this would be having Jelly Beans (4.1) while here it shows that it has GingerBread. What's true?

  • Yes it has radio. Please see detail specification on

  • Its also Rs 5000 more expensive than htc sv.Around 27000Rs.

  • Rs. 22590 price on flipkart with Exclusive Pre order offer Free Sandisk 16GB memory card.

  • I have got this handset.....only problem is wid battery backup with working GPRS....else best buy....

  • nice one........

  • Again a great phone by HTC. I found that Shipping Charges are extra and on other site they provide only seller warranty. On shopbychoice.com I found it for 21,990 INR with manufacturer warranty, Bill and free Shipping.

  • superb phone..............

  • All that Money and NO FRONT Camera!!??? What are you ppl at HTC thinking...!!

  • Sony xperia acro s is better than desire sv.xperia acro s is too good at all features.plz all are see that acro s specifications and write your opinion.

  • for me it is the lack of compass and the size of the phone and low ppi. it shud hav been a 4 inch with the dimensions of desire x and desire v which have small form factor with large screen area.

  • compass is a magnetometer inside the phone for auto-orientation of maps.

  • What about FM ? It is dual sim standby ? Possible to upgrade jelly bean ?

  • I don't know why HTC doesn't have front cameras if they give they will beat Samsung.

  • HTC desire sv available in india for Rs.21,000 .

  • Only one thing which restricts me to buy htc phone is lack of front facing camera.Do they think, No need to give front camera to the mid range phone buyers?

  • why do you need compass..?for what?

  • Samsung galaxy s duos is better or this phone ?

  • guys....pls in that price range with no front cam this is hilarious......

  • no worthy. midrange phone no compass,front cam. u wil get compass in other brands for priced inr 6000.

  • yes,all phones except one x and s,that came after sensation xe have imperfect of specs. no compass.bad rear cam.no front cam etc.

  • yes ... no fm radio.... also no voice call recording... no front cam.. no compass... no hd recording... only good is display, ui, 8mp cam, support for dual sim (dual standby).

  • does this phone has a radio? help me

  • Guyz the look is superrbbb and features too....expected price Is around 22 k.isnt worthy piece??

  • HTC should launch the same with few changes... Add Secondary Camera Add FM Radio Add Compass Upgrade RAM to 1 GB. Add recording of Voice Calls. If not 1080p atleast 720p recordings. Atleast 8GB Internal memory.

  • Interested in this phone but the lack of a secondary camera is sad. Only one review up of it so far -

  • Internal memory always less in HTC. Min 8 GB is very good

  • HTC Desire sv does not have secondary camera. Pl check whether you can record calls before buying as many of HTC's expensive phone Kernal does not permit recording of callers voice.

  • HTC J Butterfly is the HTC's first smartphone with 5" Full HD 1080p display. It runs on Android 4.1 . It is powered by Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 GHz Quad Core processor and 2GB RAM.

  • Why do these Dual Sim's don't have a secondary camera??

  • Noob htc ... no secondary cam

  • Nigerians need it as well.

  • Malaysia need it

  • change that friggin background image for f**k's sake! makes the damn phone look cheap. take a look at sony's xperias!

  • Why worry? Get compass from google play.

  • It has no secondary camera, so too pricey,look at Huawei honor2.Its cheaper too.

  • Tooo pricy!! Remember whats happening to blackberry.

  • Seconded. My HTC explorer does not have a compass and it annoys me to no end. Some apps like Google sky map are completely broken because of this Not ever getting a phone without compass again

  • I Like This Phone But Price Very Big

  • Not worth more than INR 13000. It lacks digital compass too. htc has put compass only on one x and one s of the latest. samsung has it even on low end androids like duos lite and pocket priced arnd INR 6000.

  • i agree sensation XE is still the full fledged phone of htc though outdated.only one x and s of the latest follow it having digital compass.

  • buy htc sensation xe, is a very good phone

  • finally an htc phone with micro sd card slot but then they forgot the secondary camera! something samsung will never forget to have in their mid range phone.

  • I hope to see this beauty in Europe if he can not find market in India. HTC is well worth its high price. However, the front camera could be for Skype.

  • y no front cam? everything else i like..

  • Get Sharp SH530u instead of this.

  • why HTC is not getting the pick on indian customers as to what they want before releasing handsets in india.They always fall short in hardware department in one or other way.In my opinion if they reslease a handset whith below configuration Expectation-- Screen - 4.0-inch WVGA display(Atleast ~233 ppi pixel density) Processor - 1GHz dual-core RAM - 1GB RAM GPU - Adreno 205 Camera - 5-megapixel camera(Atleast 720P video rec.) + sec front camera All this in sensible price tag (20K-21K) will get HTC to place where they want it to be in indian market.

  • This htc.is definitely going to be victorius if against samsung galaxy s duos due to dual core but still lack something such as: 1.battery is very small,as per anonyomous said it should be 2000mah 2.secondary front camera which is not really important but some ppls want to 3.does it have the same problem such as htc desire v? I.e when calling using 1 sim the other 1 were off automatically

  • Do you have 2 radio modules / receiver?

  • buy a camera recorder if you want HD recorder...

  • The HTC should make a phone chips with two screen of 4.7 "with the same characteristics of HTC ONE X.Com sure will have market for this product.

  • Do sim 1 & 2 both run on 3G?

  • Htc also announced HTC one sv with almost similar specifications with single sim rather than dual sim.

  • Very good

  • flop one

  • HTC as a mobile brand is not very popular in india.. And devices like this have no edge over other offerings like Micromax A110 (atleast on paper). At the same time price is also much higher.. Just a better display and UI is not going to charm buyers.. :(

  • NO Front camara ... lolllll

  • 217ppi in a midrange smartphone...?!?!?

  • xperia p still the better option

  • it's good phone but not full package. dual SIM is nice option but Secondary camera and nfc is not available. that's big problem is battery ... dual SIM and 4.3 inch screen atleast 2000 mah battery running for full day..

  • Agree

  • not good no webcam ,so no video calling

  • WTF!!how is it smart with dual sim?? htc plz dont launch dual sim phones

  • Its a great flop by HTC again.. HTC tend to show lag in putting the Front Facing Camera & HD recording every time. Whats the problem with HTC company. It may put Dual Core & Dual Sim thats useless without great features like HD Recording ...

  • Why htc why? Again 480p video recording atleast 720p needed. Very bad impression with desire x now with this sv

  • cortex A-5 useless.

  • No Front Cam, no 720p video = totaly flop.

  • HTC is good brand . Pls htc company dont bring dual sim in smart phones.. Its worth less ..

  • hmmm htc is going out of the competition in mobile segment. worth less mobile for more than 20k with out front cam i hope battery will dry sooner than desire v :-)

  • no secondary camera also no hd recording seriously priced to high

  • looooooooool

  • no 1080p recording,no 2ndry camera n 768mb ram at this price.htc thinks indian r fool.

  • Why htc why? Again 480p video recording atleast 720p needed. Very bad impression with desire x now with this sv

  • Seems good let everything vivid first

  • It's the Desire X with just a larger screen and dual SIM. That's pretty sad.
