I'm still with 4.0.32 as it has been the most solid of all builds. Good battery life, exchange email working, good camera and not FC from LauncherPro. Which is why I'm a bit hesitant to upgrade to 4.0.33. I haven't done S-OFF yet because I still see people giving out issues. Once those issues become a minority, then I'll do it :p .

Scirwode

I S-OFFed my device a while back and it hasn't caused me any issues at all. AlphaRev has been refined a bit now and it works very well.

Hey guys,

Just bought myself one of these brand new and boxed for only ?270, unfortunately I had to go to ebay because I didn't really want to spend more than ?300.

However, I have a major concern which stems from this thread on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676402

It seems there is an extremely common reboot issue with the desires, where after a certain amount of time the phone will start randomly rebooting on its own and getting stuck in a "boot loop"

Obviously because I bought off ebay it's unlikely that I'll get the original receipt and the seller does not offer any kind of warranty. I just wanted to know if any of you Desire owners have had this issue?

Usually a wipe will solve that problem, but from what I can see the common ground for that problem seems to be task killing applications. Don't use them, they infer no performance advantage.

I've got the HTC Hero Android OS and really enjoy the phone except for the touch screen keyboard which in my opinion is terrible. They are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. I installed the ShapeWriter which works better but still a frustrating ordeal for me. In order for your fingers to accurately work properly on the keyboard your fingers have to be a specific temperature and not too moist. As far as the HTC androids I love the different home screens you can put on (7 for the Hero) and all the awesome apps you can get for it. I also would love for Android to allow for download programs software to have to option to be installed directly into the MicroSD card. I've got allot of wasted space on my 2GB card.

Well I'm pretty sad and sat reading the whole thread today while I was working, at first I drew the same conclusion as you from the first few pages. Rogue apps etc... but as you get further through the thread you see people who have done full wipes, factory resets etc.. and had no luck, they've even sent it back to HTC and had their motherboard replaced and no luck.

It seems to happen when you use the 3G network a lot or Google Navigation.

I'll just have to hope that I don't get a dodgy one, I guess it's the risk you take when you buy off ebay, going to shoot the guy a message when the phone arrives on Tuesday and see if he has a receipt for it, unlikely but worth a try.

Double post because I can't edit the last :(

never heard of it Olemus, i have one

I'm glad to hear that you haven't had the problem, how long have you had the phone now and would you consider yourself a "heavy" user? Do you use 3G and GPS a lot?

Sorry for all the questions :p

"Push" just means that the server informs the device when a new email arrives, rather than the more traditional method of the device checking for new mail periodically. In a sense, the server "pushes" the email directly to the device, hence the name.

Thanks :) I thought it was something like this. (Y)

Out of interest, how big are apps on average?

I am looking at getting a replacement Micro SD Card, but 8Gb's or 16GB's? I don't play on putting hours of music or movies on the Desire, so I'm not sure if 16Gb's would be wasted? How many applications do you have (that you've added)?

It's just a 16Gb card is ?50, while an 8Gb card is only ?15, so obviously there is a huge difference there. I'm completly new to Smart Phones so I can't imagine I would use it to it's full potential for many months, so perhaps a Class 6 8Gb one would be sufficient?

Thanks

Uuuuu WTF?!

Kingston 16GB Class 4 and Adapter - ?21.99 delivered

Class doesn't matter for daily general use. HTC bundle a class 2 card and it's perfectly fine. I have a Sandisk mobile Ultra Class 2 card and it performs the same as my LG Class 6.

It's all down to the card brand and chipset being used on it.

This. Classes only define the minimum specs, not the maximum. A class 6 will perform at a minimum 6MB/s, a class 4 will perform at a minimum 4MB/s, etc, but nothing states an upper speed limit, so a class 2 could potentially give you speeds of 12MB/s whilst a class 6 only gives you 8MB/s (just pulling numbers out of thin air for those examples, but you get the point)

    • Mate, you’re looking to spend about $100 - what are you expecting. The A series is not the high end model, no - but “trash” is nonsense. The sort of thing that idiots who only buy the highest end models say as some sort of self validation. They will do everything you need of them.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents by David Uzondu Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a platform that traditionally hosts crowdsourced programming solutions for human developers, but now serves autonomous software agents. Basically, Stack Overflow's argument is that the rapid democratization of building software has exposed a major vulnerability. Agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap where they waste valuable tokens on something another agent halfway across the world has already solved. That's why, according to the company, a shared, real-time knowledge repository is needed. Stack Overflow for Agents is currently in beta, running as an API-first knowledge exchange where humans review what agents publish. To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality. This system forces agents to query the corpus first to locate validated answers rather than running expensive code-generation scripts. To ensure trust, Stack Overflow connects agent contributions directly to the human developer's established reputation through single sign-on credentials. The agents can interact with three distinct post types. One option, Questions, documents unsolved bugs, while "Today I Learned" posts record debugging traces. Blueprints round out the selection by storing reusable design patterns. If an enterprise wants to keep proprietary data private, the Stack Internal platform allows the organization to run the assistant behind its own firewall. Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions. Some argue that another reason why the website sort of fell off stems from its notoriously hostile (and condescending) community that frequently closed basic questions and alienated beginners with strict gatekeeping. In order to avoid getting eaten by AI, Stack Overflow has tried several things. When volunteer moderators banned AI-generated content in 2023 to protect data quality, corporate leaders tried to limit those restrictions, prompting the volunteers to stage a massive site-wide strike. Since then, the developer portal has signed major deals with tech companies like Google to bring Stack Overflow data directly into Gemini models and Google Cloud console. A similar deal with OpenAI in 2024 sparked an uproar, leading some users to delete old answers in protest. The company swiftly suspended those accounts to protect the database. It has also experimented with OverflowAI, an AI-powered conversational search tool designed to pull together answers from multiple threads.
    • There are two options for smartphone platforms so consumers don't have much of a choice there. The EU is not making any decisions for customers they just want them to have options if they so choose. I am not sure why you would be for closed platforms. The big tech companies already have so much power and money while are relatively unregulated in the US which is why they run into so much trouble in the EU.
    • Hello, I am using a Moto G Stylus (2025) and happy with it.  I don't know how well the model works on Twigby's network (it looks like they are an MVNO of Verizon).  It looks like they have a BYOD plan, though, so as long as you find a device that works on their network you should be okay.   Regards,   Aryeh Goretsky
