Got mine last week, I can't put the thing down!

My only concern is that it has crashed twice while I was turning off the mobile network.

Don't use the widget mate, actually go into the settings control panel, and turn it on/off manually. Mine used to take 30 secs+ to connect and disconnect. It now takes less than 2 secs for me to connect and disconnect.

Getting my Desire today, sadly I'm pretty busy now till middle of next week and won't have too much time to fiddle about with it :( Will end up having to use the standard Orange ROM for a bit then getting a clean stock ROM there some point next week.

Whilst you can carry over the licence on Windows Mobile the code doesn't work on an Android version of Co-Pilot, it's mentioned on their site sadly, same with the traffic updates.

After some reading up on this it now seems that you CAN transfer a licence between WM and Android, just not to the iPhone platform. Saved me about ?50 including my traffic updates.

There's an OTA Firmware update available for the Desire now (and the Legend) - it's not Android 2.2. It's just a minor update that fixes some things with the HTC apps (one change i've noticed is in the Messaging app it now shows how many messages you've got in a conversation for example).

Got my Desire..... man... what a cool thing!!!

Question to other HTC Desire owners..... what are your lists of must have apps you have on your Desire???????

Looking forward to the replies!! Cheers

Got too many too list. But if you go into the market, and filter by Top Free, you really can't go wrong. I'll post a more extensive list of my apps when I get home if you want.

Aren't all Desire's already upgraded to 2.1? Mine is, so I expect the next upgrade to be the 2.2 one

Yes, they ship with 2.1 already installed. However, HTC have never officially (to my knowledge) said they will upgrade the Desire to 2.2, they aren't required too and anyone buying one purely on the assumption it will get 2.2 is a little silly :p. All they did say was the Desire was getting an "update" sometime in June to address some of the issues users are having. We are all assuming it's 2.2 at this stage.

Kewl, I have been to the market... and granted, there are tons...! Was just curious to see what everyone else is running... As i have installed like 10 different apps that basically do the same thing, and a few that don't even work... So if a few people posted their apps, and naturally, knowing that they work on the desire, could cut down on the experimentation... Also, might come accross a kewl app that i havent thought of installing.... :)

also, curious to see how people are using their desires........ almost feel dirty saying things like that ... LOL laugh.gif

Well the updates are rolling out, my Desire just notified me of an update. But I am not going to update just yet. As I have flashed it and I have heard it breaks WiFi on flashed Orange handsets...

Strange, but I'm guessing that somewhere along the line Orange must have changed some of the internals as well then. Can't see any reason why else it would break a flashed ROM.

Still no update from O2 for updates...! Anyways, 2.2 Froyo is coming to the Desire - June 27... smile.gif

'Apparently' was reading that earlier, HTC have said it's coming but not given a date had they? Plus wasn't it the 23rd June from an alleged phone call asking details about installing apps to SD card.

But you never heard this from me?. A new update is coming the 23rd of Juneand you will be able to put some apps on to the micro sd card.

Has anyone notice that when playing an MP3, the album art on the lock screen is a little jagged and blurred? The album displays nicely when browsing through my music, then again it's small so of course it looks nice. My album art is 500 x 500 by the way. Any ideas on how to make it look nice :p ?

Scirwode

The Alarm Clock is driving me nuts.

Often in the morning i snooze it, then i goes on after 5 mins. Normal because i configured it this way.

But, when i slide down the lockscreen to dismiss the alarm the screen simply unlocks and the alarm keeps beeping and there is no way to turn it off. SO i have to restart the phone. ****ing annoying.

Anyone suffering from this problem?

It is a random situation.

Krpano are you any task killers of any kind?

No, i'm running the original ROM without any task killers or anything like that.

My wife wants to kill me in the morning. lol

Damn alarm wont shut up and take a few seconds to reboot to make it stop....plus that LOUD startup sound, man that sucks.

Does anyone know how is integration with Windows Live services on the Desire?

I guess Messenger can be used with some of the 3rd party apps I have seen, is there any way to use Hotmail without downloading email over POP?

I use Windows Live Mail on my PC's which syncs your Inbox over HTTP from what i gather.

Sounds like you might have to restore it!

Got the 1.21 software update yesterday. Don't know what it fixes.

It fixed a bug where messages received from your network or numbers that appear as a name (eg. "Fitspace" - a gym) would appear as received from a random facebook contact.

Not sure what else! I know that it added a message count when viewing the list of conversations in the SMS app. And it seems a little faster booting up/shutting down, but I'm probably imagining it :D

Just to warn some of you who haven't updated the latest patch from HTC.

My phone got useless.

Can't boot anymore, white screen. (eventually it will boot, to crash a few minutes later)

Did a hard reset, didn't help.

Maybe a special case but think well before update.

Btw, as i stated in previous posts i am on a non-rooted/unmodified Desire.

Really ****ed right now.

So nice for me tomorrow.

Since i am the only one on the company with a non iPhone device. I kept bragging how better the Desire was and etc.

So tomorrow i will have to go to my boss and ask them to finally give me a company iPhone.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
