Thoughts so far

So far I love the phone. The feel and weight of the phone just seems better then my Captivate(which I gave to my wife). After not getting data on the phone unless I had WiFi on kind of sucked, but if you make a new network. You will be able to gain data back.
The only thing I am not liking is when I set up my HTC sense with Facebook, it put all my friends from facebook into my contacts list in my phone. I do not want all my friends on the list. I have tried and figure out how to delete from the list but cant figure it out. Anyone know how?
I also side loaded a few apps using the SLW program, once you download HTC sync on your computer it was easy.
I cant wait until this phone gets rooted so I can go in and change some stuff around, like ringtones. You can have custom ringtones when the phone is not plugged in to the USB but once you plug the USB in, it reverts back to the stock ringtones because it thinks shuts off your SD Card. Well you know what, I guess I can have the option to only have it charge will plugged in. That might work.
Other then that me loves the phone. Glade my wife had an upgrade so I could get the phone for $79.99 from Costco and a free charger with it. She loves my old Captivate so I was like hell ya ill trade ya!

Ha I love it...got a feeling alot of wives will be getting a captivate tommorow

I have the Evo for sprint which should be similar. Open your People/contacts app, hit menu, and you should see an option that says 'View'. Select view to choose which contacts you want displayed and deselect your Facebook account.

Ok so in the people and contacts it has my correct contacts. What am talking about is when you look at the phone on the homescreen you see the button that says phone. If you click on that it will show every one of my Facebook friends, even the ones they I dont have in my contact list. I dont want them there.

I haven't mentioned to my wife yet... she's gonna wonder why the hell I'm getting up early on a Sunday morning, probably think I'm having an affair, lol.

You are, with the Inspire 4G. hahaha

I dont regret it for a second, yeah no Real 4G but we have root, roms and radios NOW.
Also, for those that just want to install apps and leave the phone stock you can go to this thread created by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943174
The phone feels so polished and the screen is awesome, no Craptivate screen but it will turn heads.
We have accomplished so much in so little time.
Thanks to all the devs and porters out there, this is already a more than worthwhile device and for the price you can not beat it.
Atrix is just a bad memory of Motoblur hell, good luck trying to even root that damn thing.. hahaha

Ok I know what you're saying, and I didn't even realized my phone did that until you just mentioned it. I didn't see a way to get rid of them either.
If this is bothering you because you have to scroll through so many more names to get to the contact you want to dial, have you tried the t9 smart dialer feature? Lets say you want to dial 'John', instead of scrolling all the way down to his name, just spell out his name via t9 (5 for 'j', 6 for 'o', 4 for 'h', etc). The contacts that match what you're typing will appear and you don't have to scroll through all the names. My Evo and other HTC sense phones do this ( stock android doesn't, but you can download other dialers in the market that do). If you already knew this and just don't want the names to appear, can't help you there.

I really, really like this phone. My ear speaker is great, although the external speaker is a little weak. Not a huge deal though, just had to select the high pitched notifications to be sure to hear them.

I thought it was interesting that Facebook .com thought my phone was a nexus one
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

i went to check this out in the store today. a few thoughts
-size is great. i compared it to my nexus one w/seidocase and it is only slightly larger... like less than a .25" larger in width and length
-weight is great. very comparable to n1 w/case
-sense 2.0 looked pretty slick.
-very fast... zero lag.
-my only stickler was the screen. i could see the "grid" dots on the display unit. is this typical of slcd?

Love it already and havent had it 5 hours yet, beats my old htc surround hands down.

This kicks the captivates ass all around, even unrooted with stock rom. Soooo glad I pulled the trigger... nice to have a decent exchange email client as part of the basic package (sorry touchdown, but the integration is a big plus... I hated the separate address books).

The more I use my phone the more I realize everything works and works well.
Have installed pretty much everything there is and it plays or runs them without a hiccup.
Obviously the only apps it will not run are the ones that require root. My plan is to do this very soon so I can take advantage of those as well.
Every single game I've installed is smooth with no lag.
Emulators work with zero issues, my plan is to try the the psx one next.
You can not measure the battery life right away, it has to get used to a few charges first. See the Desire HD forums and they will say the same.
I've made some calls and can say that it sounds great, I've tried both the loudspeaker and the ear speaker and both sound fine to me.
Obviously the small speaker will not be that loud especially at first. Still planning to use DSP Manager to see if it fixes it.
I've still to try out the gps while moving in the vehicle as well.
Build quality is very satisfying and is what's expected from HTC.
Where I had trouble getting 3G I am now getting a constant H+ according to the phone.
What else can I say I made an excellent choice and with the Sideload Wonder Machine, root, radio and custom ROMs there's room to make this phone even better with those options.

Questions from a Jailbroken iPhone user before switching to HOX

Hello XDA denizens,
I would like to migrate from jailbroken iOS because I am sick of the cat & mouse game with Apple. I would like to know whether I can do the following specifically on the HOX without having to void my warranty:
Read (entire) emails without unlocking my phone, see my calendar appointments without unlocking my phone, and see a list of all missed calls and SMS without unlocking my phone. I have heard two names mentioned within this context: WidgetLocker and Executive Assistant. Can any of you tell me if these work on the HOX and whether they allow me to do the above.
Turn on my flashlight with any multitouch gesture that I wish. Multitask with any gesture that I wish (e.g. two-fingered swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up a list of running apps).
See a list of toggles in the drop-down notification screen that allow me to toggle wifi/autolock/cellular data/brightness without having to leave the app that I am currently running.
Final question: does rooting void the warranty on this phone?
Thank you!

1) There SHOULD be apps available for that. Maybe not though as being able to do all that without unlocking your phone is a security issue. There is a reason that info is hidden while the phone is locked.
2) Nope.
3) Only if you unlock your bootloader (most likely voiding warranty) and install a custom rom.
Rooting does not void warranty as it can be undone. Unlocking the bootloader however does.

That is too bad. I can do all those things on the iPhone without voiding the warranty (jailbreaking can be undone).
Thanks very much, though!

This puts toggles in the notifcation bar, and it doesnt require root, or boot loader unlock. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en
and you use widget locker, then put a email widget on it.

Hey, that's great! Thanks for the link.
Does anyone know if the widget locker has a widget that lets me read the entire email (not just preview the first line)?
There's nothing in my emails that needs to be kept secret; hence I've always enjoyed the ability to read (NOT write, of course) emails without unlocking, since I get so many emails.

You asked if rooting would void your warranty, he said no. So...? Unless you also want to unlock the boot loader and go into the fun stuff.

Widget locker allows you to place any widget on your lockscreen so all you have to do is find a widget from the play store that has this ability and place on your lockscreen

All of these things are fairly simple to do, for sure for the flashlight I would use go launcher or similar to input multi touch swipe or gesture or however you want it to trigger. You can do anything without unlocking by turning off lock with no lock of it annoys you, or put widgets on your lockscreen. Try different ones if you aren't satisfied with the function of the stock ones. Android will let you do anything its just a matter of figuring out how if it's difficult.

I couldn't find a widget that lets you read full emails without launching the gmail app, which would unlock the screen.
I do not want to unset the pin, since that's removing a whole other level of security.
All I want to do is read full emails without unlocking the screen. What I keep on hearing is that it should be doable, but no one can point to anything specific.

Also a noob coming from iOS. Now that the HOX price has dropped to $100, am thinking about this phone while comparing it to the GS3 and Atrx HD. What I don't like about Sense is the multi-tasking and it seems the hardware manufacturing is inconsistent too. I plan to get a phone direct from ATT since they are bending over backwards to price match. I can actually get 50% off the on contract price with no activation fee and a credit for the CA sales tax. So this means I can get a GS3 for $100 or either the HOX or AHD for $50. I don't want to waste an upgrade so I want to make the best choice.
Can anyone here give a non-biased opinion about which phone is the most solid performer with the least issues? I had actually written off the HOX due to the many issues I was seeing over in the AC forums, though the GS3 has plenty also. Thanks.

Hey greetings from SF. How are you getting that 50% off?

I've had the HOX and the sgs3. If you don't need an SD card slot, the HOX is a better choice. Especially at 99 bucks. For 50 bucks you're crazy not to get one. I had big problems with wifi on the sgs3 and I really missed the excellent display on the HOX.

I'll try to be non-biased. I'd say forget the AHD because the HOX and GSIII are better performers. Even though they all have the same processor it's reported the the Atrix runs slower than the other two.
I don't think the hardware is inconsistent with the HOX. I mean, we had some issues the first month or two, but all of that is out of the way for the most part.
The HOX will have a better screen and better build quality (This was biased) and the GSIII has that extra gig of ram and tons of dev support (we may have less, but we have amazing devs working on the HOX)

So... No one knows which widget or app I should use to read full emails on the lock screen?

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.koxx.pure_messenger&hl=en might fit your needs. It shows a couple lines of each email. But if you click on the email, it views the whole email right in widget, vs opening email app, like most widgets do. You could put that widget on widgetlocker and should do what you want.
EDIT: Just installed it, and put on widget locker, works great. Can read little bit of email (SMS, facebook etc to if wanted) then click on the message, and a mostly full screen pop up comes up, and lets you read whole message, but your still at lockscreen When you install the pure messenger widget app, there are multiple widgets to choice from, i recommend one of the "scrollable" ones. 4x2 fits nicely in middle of widget locker.

You'll get a kick out of this. I went into the AT&T store and played with the HOX for half an hour. But then it was like the ghost of Steve Jobs grabbed my collar and escorted me out of the store. I just couldn't make the switch. If you're interested in hearing my pros and cons:
Rest of family is on iOS with a high barrier to switching. The real killer app is iMessage; free text messages between iPhones with fallback to native SMS in case of data failure.
Launching Google+ caused the whole HOX to hang and I couldn't make Google+ load again until I rebooted the thing... does not bode well for stability.
(minor) Music skipping while taking photos.
Will likely waste a ton of time re-learning how to do everything and modding the device.
As far as my tweaking needs are concerned, I feel that Jailbroken iOS is on par with Android.
The reasons why I'll likely regret not switching:
Jailbreakability: more likely than not I'll be waiting 4+ months for the iPhone 5 jailbreak. These vulnerabilities are tough to find.
Google maps offline: this is an amazing feature and I just hope that the iOS 6 maps will have some kind of data-saving caching built in.
Transit directions: it looks like Apple is about to screw us over on this one. They are being replaced with "routing apps," whatever that is.
Overall this was a really tough choice and I totally see now why there are these flame wars going on online on the iOS vs. Android thing... you get your family set up with one or the other and then you're vested and there is an incredible inertia to stay on the platform you started with. The choice would be much simpler if it were just me.

HTC One X on AT&T

Would like some input. I have the HTC One X on AT&T having the same issues and more. I can not receive phone calls and once in a while I cant make a call either. ( sim card replaced twice) Needless to say the phone is four days old. I'm taking it in the afternoon to be replaced. I have a few questions.
1. What serial number/numbers have the "fix"?
2. Should I honestly just select another device all together? If yes, any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

This seems like a manufacture defect and not a reason to reject the phone all together
Try a replacement and I bet your issues go away

Thank you both for the help. Phone replaced yesterday evening. The reception is some what improved. Now I have a GPS issue. Shows me in a location I'm no where close to.

I'm not insulting you when I ask this, but do you have GPS on? I'm assuming you are opening Maps and checking where your location is, but maybe you haven't ticked it on.
On that note, the GPS on this phone is REALLY good IMO. I'm comparing it to my SGSII and the HTC seems far better and quicker.

Go into Play Store and download GPS Status and Tools. Fire that up, go into Tools-->Manage A-GPS state, select reset, then go back into that menu and select download. Set the phone down outside in an area with good line of sight to a lot of sky (i.e. not near tall buildings) and let it aquire GPS lock in that app.
See how many satellites it's able to lock onto.

Fix= 14 Sats =21
I also notice the GPC icon never comes on. Using the GPS status is the first time i seen it.

I have had the issue you are having with other Android devices. Sometimes it isn't a hardware issue and could be a software one. Closing apps, restarting them and factory resetting the device could either temporarily address the problems you are having or fix them entirely. I'm returning my One X because of the problems I have had with it.

I am waiting for my 4th HTC one x from att in 2 months. 1st had random reboots second had grey blotches on the screen. 3rd was a refurb that came with a dead pixel. I wonder what the fourth will bring. When I contacted att about they grey blotches the warranty rep told me they weren't that bad and to just live with it. If I was still in my return period I would have gotten something else.

Gps never comes on for what, Google maps? To save battery life I always leave gps off and yes maps will not automatically turn it on. For that I use switchpro widget which allows me to have a set of toggles in the notification pull down with all of my favorite switches like wifi, gps, blue tooth, silent mode and settings shortcut. Whenever I load up maps I will just pull the notification bar down and turn gps on manually, it takes just a few seconds to do it and it is well worth the savings in battery life to manage the various wireless capabilities of the phone this way.
The reason gps icon probably doesn't appear for you when you launch maps is likely that you dismissed the location services screen upon first start of maps. If you clear cache and data for the maps app and then enable gps on the location services screen at first launch of maps it should fix your issue.

[ Q ] Friend just rooted my phone. Browser annoyance. One finger zoom?????

A friend rooted my phone today since i don't know how. He said he left its rooted but nothing is flashed as far as roms. While browsing on my web now something very annoying is happening. Wether in landscape or portrait mode if i drag my finger on the edge of the screen on either side in zooms in and out instead of scrolling....is there a function that turns this off. It is driving me crazy.

Rooting wouldnt cause that to happen. What browser are you using? the stock one?

I believe it's a function under the motion settings
Sent from my VS920 4G using xda app-developers app

Yes i am using the stock browser. I did not see anything in the motion settings that revolves around what is happening. I also did not see anything in the browser settings that enables/disables it either.

The edge zooms in and out while touching the middle scrolls up and down. Tapping the screen also zooms in and out.

I dl the official jellybean update when it officially came out from vzw. I was not rooted then and i did not notice this at all. I only noticed it today after i was rooted. It is really annoying as my fingers mostly scroll along the edges of the screen. I use pinch to zoom and double tap. Is there a way to take it off? It is driving me nuts.

No you can't take it off as you can not change how an app uses a smartphone's touch functions. If its that big of a deal breaker for you then I don't know what to tell you as all apps have a set way to utilize the touch screen and not one of them have a way to alter the touch screen only the app itself. Also with all mobile phones there is no touch screen setting so if you want to drag your fingers up and down on the edge of the screen to scroll a website you will have to find a browser that utilizes that function.

But it didn't do it before i got rooted. He installed jellybean build 8 i believe and took it off cause the photos in the camera didn't work just the videos showed. I believe the build had a choice for the note 2 camera wich was chosen. None the less he brought it back to stock but kept it rooted.

Just talked to a friend on non rooted official jellybean release from verizon. His browser does NOT do this.

I think you're the only person that find it annoying as most don't see it as a big deal. That is mostly because a whole lot worse can happen to your phone and that isn't one of them.

Well in interest of this getting back on track have you tried to simply clear the app data for browser? Also check your phone status to make sure you ate on the official build and upper friend didn't just put another stock ROM on it to replace build 8, I'm assuming it was beans build 8

Questions about the Facebook Home suite.

So I assume that most of you have seen the announcement about the new Facebook Home suite that will debut on the HTC First and be available as a separate download after. I noticed, however, that it will only be available for the HTC One, HTC One X, HTC One X+, SGS3, SGS4, Galaxy Note II. Does this mean that there is no way that the DS will be able to support the suite?

doubt there will be official support, but someone may make it useable on this phone

It shouldn't be too hard to port it, if the s3 can run it so can the s3 mini and then from there the desire s should be able to run it

If I know right, Facebook will develop the Facebook Home for other devices too. The HTC First will come with the launcher integrated with system running on top of stock JB 4.1.1/4.1.2 so I hope we'll see also ports from that ROM. The only annoying thing is that, you would also get ads on your home screen(at least, some tech websites say so). But however, you can turn the Facebook Home off directly in it's settings, or by simply replacing the Home launcher app.

Here you go. Facebook Home on our Desire S.

Here you go. Before installing, you must delete the old facebook app.

Works on my DS too! ViperSaga 2.2.0

I was reading an article on Gizmodo about a port already being completed. It linked to this guide and I tried it out. I thought it ran okay tbh, however there was a problem with the messenger app because it wouldn't let me reply to anything. I tried it out for a bit but I got fed up with it, it's very simple and obviously it's Facebook centric, I decided I don't need that much Facebook in my life. I'm perfectly happy with the app. I'd recommend that you try it though, your experience may differ from mine.

What advantages brings this app to the average user? Is it worthy to install? Will it ruin my phone experience?
Thx

I don't think it brings any advantages unless you're a heavy Facebook user. It's quite basic in it's function, I noticed that the messenger app stopped working properly when I started using it. It was very smooth and worked quite well in my opinion other than the Facebook Messenger experience. The stock messages app can be used instead so it can work out for the average user. It's a simple install so I'd suggest downloading and trying it out, you might like it and keep using it, if you don't then just delete it and go back to the way your phone was before. I don't think there are any risks by installing it on your phone. However, I'm not sure if it affects the battery life or not, I didn't really use it for long enough.
