What kind of problems? I have both DHD and HOX(being my main phone).
DHD is one of the best phones I've carried.
But HOX is even better imo. I'm loving this phone as well as the amazing community for this phone here on XDA.

Why did you buy a HTC One V? It's nearly the same only worse camera, less RAM, but a bigger battery. Doesn't make sense to me. You should've saved that money for something better, like One S :-/

I guess you mean One X and not One S, right?

I personally don't like the One X, so I would take the One S - irrelevant what I've meant, One S and One X are both way better than One V

The backlight flicker has been resolved in recent updates.
Battery life is very decent imo. With the right ROM and Kernel you can get a very good battery life.
S-OFF hasn't been a disadvantage for the HOX community. We're able to flash custom ROMs and kernels very easily.
However, the only reasons I would agree with you on the HOX not being the best phone in the market today are:
- Not having a microSD slot
- and the battery being irreplaceable.

Bye
Have fun with the next one!!

Ok. The reason I got a One V is because all the other phones were 300$+ for it. The One V is 150$. And after using it, I've noticed that it is overall better than the Desire HD. Despite, having smaller screen, smaller camera, and less RAM, it just feels so much better than the Desire HD. Its alot smoother too.

Move on, but stay tuned.. This phone still rocks

I hope the community on XDA for the One V is active, coz without XDA, imo, the phone's experience is far from complete..

I bought seal packed HTC Desire C in exchange for my DHD. Rooted, unlocked the boatloader, cwm and custom Rom but not any close to Ace. Haggled, paid a little and got my DHD back.

Desire C
You went for a downgrade!?
DHD has much better specs all around. DHD was a flagship phone by HTC. If you want to "upgrade" you should consider the current flagship, which is One X or wait for the upcoming one.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear you got your DHD back. You did the right thing.

Simple rule. Thought DHD has crossed warranty period so if I get half of the price I can get another HTC without adding anything. But we are foolish to think that way.

If you would share, which will be you next phone? Htc too?
Thanks

If I were you, I will wait for new WP8 phones from Nokia or Samsung before my DHD went off-duty. For now, this phone is still the best (at least for me)

What phone next? (Not a hate topic!)

Hi forum...
If I want to buy a new phone now, replacing my X10, not because I hate my X10, but because I would love to play with custom roms, then what phone should I go out and buy?
I have 2 or 3 things I would want in the phone, though.
1. good working gps reciver.
2. Fm radio.
3. Nice big screen and battery.
I have NOTHING against the X10, I only want a phone more for fun, and to play with custom roms...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i would suggest Desire HD
If you are a ROM freak HTC is the way to go.

How did you know it is great ? Have you used it ? Sure the ROM in that is great but what about other aspects of the phone ? Do you know it has a good working GPS ? Do you know it has a FM Radio as OP has asked for ? And do you know if its not going to be locked down ?
This looks promising. Teathered too...

But seriously, im saving for the Desire HD already just to keep my spirits up. Ill keep my X10 though i think. Make an "ok" backup phone ;-)

The desire hd looks insane good. Makes the iphone4 look 5 years old.
well for sure, not a SE anymore
my nect could be an evo or the nectversion of it xD
I'm going with Captivate.
Worse camera and GPS issues but better CPU/GPU, good screen, more ram, hacked bootloader, custom roms (just not a froyo one still, but it will and at least it already has 2.1). Desire HD is nice but plain expensive still (it's new anyway).
HTC is the way to go because as i see it the HTC phones have the most customs roms available and are better supported by devs and HTC.
I had a HTC Hermes, after that a Diamond, after that a Touch HD, and all of them were supported by devs and flashed Roms every day.
I must say that were great times. I hope we can do it on our X10 sooner or later.
I would buy a Desire HD
I would go for desire HD or a gsm version of droid x.
I'd wait to see what WP7 has to offer. The UI looks unique and sleek. X10 styled WP7 will be attractive if it comes early.
HTC Desire HD will be my next phone, and i have already pre orderd it.
Honestly, if Apple allowed Widgets, I might go that route - but they don't so I'd lean to something like a Driod X.
I'm hoping I can get my hands on a desire hd for sure....if not I will definitely be going back to HTC....I do love my X10 a lot....but I hate SE now lol.
I'm currently looking at the HTC HD2 right now...I really like winmo to...I might give it a shot.

A new android device for a sexy blonde

A lady friend of mine wants to ditch her iPhone and cum party with the android boys.
HD2 is an obvious suggestion, but I think its a bit geeky for her. I will probably put cyanogen on it for her, but that will be it; no flashing new roms every week.
So what would you guys recommend? Front runners at the moment are :
Nexus S
White desire

You can be sure of a lot of attention with that topic
Don't use any android flashed device for your sexy blonde, Iphone is more sexy, but indeed less geeky
The Nexus S is by far the sexiest Android device and currently the best on the market IMO,
I'd get a Nexus S.
The second sexiest device ever IMO is the Nexus One, which is actually better in some ways because it can run Sense.
so you might get a Nexus One, root it, flash a stable DHD ROM and you're good to go. remember that along with the awesome things it has to offer, it also has the multi-color lighted track ball, my girlfriend is crazy about that aspect of her Nexus.

Haha, thanks for replies.
I think its a bit silly to buy iPhone 4 now with the update so close. Also iPhones are significantly more expensive (buying similar free)
Also considering desire s.
I wonder if its worth the extra money getting the nexus s when you can get an original desire and put cyanogen on it.
Will deliver pics with purchase....

I have to say, for stock user experience, the best android phone you can get is the nexus s. So far there have been no "big" problems with it, atleast currently.
However I think for overall satisfaction, i'd go for the galaxy s. If rooted and with lagfixes/tweaks and flashed a custom rom, the phone is a really nice and smooth.
However one thing i'd say about the HD2 is it's so hackable, you can try WP7, winmo or android, all on one phone. The experience might not be as good as a true android/WP7 device, but it's good enough for daily use. Plus I think it has a top of the class 5MP camera. Atleast it performs alot better than the captivate i'm using right now.

[Q] new phone

hi all...
i m looking forward to buy a new android phone. i have 3 options.
1. HTC Desire
2. HTC HD2
3. Samsung Galaxy S I9000
can u help me choose please? which one u think is better and why?
desire/hd2, i prefer the desire though, hd2 has a lot of stuff going on around in dev, flash like crazy haha (im not a flashaholic), but then again it is fun to try out quad-boot os on your phone, id just stick with android though
Galaxy s = iphone knock off plus crap build quality and lag.

Oooooh you were sticking to the OP's choices. lol
hd2 provides you with a bigger screen but with less color compare to desire... hd2 has also a newer processor, but his running wm... I would take hd2 and flash it to run android...
Galaxy s may be the best on paper but its laggy. If you want to mod it go for the hd2. If you want an official gingerbread update go 4 the desire

lol.... yeah i limited the choice to these 3 phones, because cellphones are are really expensive here in Pakistan.
i sold my wildfire for 20K, and HD2 will cost me 27k, Desire and galaxy round about 30k. (my budget wont allow me to go higher)
Desire. Friend got one, and, its pretty amazing. Seems to literally get hot though.
(Although, after comparing his stock ROM, and mine with CM7 and ADW Launcher EX, he feels my phone is far smoother and faster than his. hint hint. )

[DUMP] HTC Sensation rom dump

i think now htc sensation rom porting should start right away on nexus one....
its the most beautiful sense i have ever seen.. wow
here is the link of the rom leak...... of htc sensation aka pyramid.

htc desire hd has got the sensation rom port:
http://phandroid.com/2011/04/15/desire-hd-gets-sensation-rom-port/
now i guess it becomes more easy to port to n1.
it consists of lots of new widgets ,icons and animations specially.....
and its gingerbread......
lets see how much time it takes for the porting of sensation rom to nexus one.
guys inform the great developers out there to have a look...
:-D
great...
I hope someone can port it to our n1
Here's an easier download, the chinese one isn't the easiest to navigate.
Sorrry, but do you think this will be ported? No dev has been found to port desire s Rom entirely. This is a dead child in think...

I'll try to get it booting tomorrow, just for the sake of seeing that beautiful lookscreen of Sense 3.0 in action.
I'll post my results.
i love my nexus as much as anyone, but folks, it's time to get a new phone if you want dev results. nobody cares about it now, and with the sensation, g2x ,etc coming out, it's going to be further in the dust. i may keep it just as a token of the first great android phone, or i may sell it, but the sensation is my next phone.
this rom dump is f'n HUGE lol look at that file size, i don't think it could ever make it onto the n1, and if it did it'd probably be slow as dirt.

In my opinion the sensation is still one of the most powerful phones of 2012.

I 200% agree with you on this. Flashlight is very very nice and camera is also better than iphone 3gs.
I honestly have found wildfire more fun than iphone 3gs ( which i had earlier ). Trying different roms, customizing phone alot is fantastic. Although i could play games on iphone but still wildfire has been a good android experience so far.
