[Q] Htc Desire Advice!!! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 2 questions really. My device is the ordinary htc desire, However on the back of my device it mentions it is equipped with htc sense, what is it and how do I use it?
2 I am looking at navigon navigation but I have just downloaded a new rom of android 2.2 Is navigon compatible? I emailed navigon no reply typical... Also do i need to spend £89.95 on it or can I get away with £39.95. And do I get additional voices with the package??? I would appreciate all feedback regarding these questions. I do value all feed back Many thanks......... Oh I am new here too

Did u even consider asking Google or the forum search for what sense is...? Lazy people...

Htc sense is basically htc's skin or UI on android.It helps to enhances android experiences.
Sorry, I can't answer your second question..

Many thanks for quick reply

HTC Updating ROM to include close button?

Hey guys, I'm the proud owner of an unbranded HTC TyTN (I guess the codename was hermes?)
I just read on engadget-mobile that HTC will be including a task manager that actually closes applications in the next rom, which I'm guessing they're calling AKU3.2 or something.
A few questions about that, HTC's europe website (I'm in the US, bought it unlocked) is really bare with info about upgrading roms on the TyTN.
I know that there are numerous threads about updating TyTN roms, however, they mostly seemed to be focused on the Cingular version. I don't want a carrier branded rom on my phone. Can someone please link me to the HTC Version of the latest ROM? Maybe a release candidate of it or something? I'm having a hard time here.
Thank you in advance guys!
Hmm.. it seems that I've found the answers to all of my questions...
I'm guessing that the HTC Task Manager just isn't released yet..
Thanks guys! I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a very, very long time on this website.

ROMs and Should I?

Hello,
I keep seeing in these forums many threads regarding ROMs. I know what they are but my question is...why should I mess with it. I have an HTC Touch GSM with WM6. Now if you tell me I can get the interface in general to be quicker and the wifi to connect sooner, then i'm sold.
Cheers,
Paul

youll be very suprised at how much of a difference it makes to flash your phone with a rom itll make it faster due to the applications that u dont use water down ur programming memory and that can be released and run faster with them gone ...just look around and find one that fits ur use..promise u will be happy...just one thing to remember ..Read he insructions carefully and dont be scared to ask any questions ..have fun
Perfection,
I guess so, sound logical. What would be the best ROM for the HTC Touch GSM, I've always felt that the phone is a little hesistant, and I've done the best that i've could in stoping animations, sounds and some registry hacks. I mostly use the Office Suite, Messenger, Skype and Netfront Browser. Then on trips the mp3 player and cameras.
Just in case I have a whole assortment of 3rd party software like: Pocket CM, PCM Keyboard, SIP Change and SPB Mobile Shell, in case it's neccessary to know.
Also, how does one go abouts installing this, i have both Mac and PC, so as you said i'm not scared of asking or trying things out, my Treo 650 I've dont a hell a lot to it, and it still runs good, but the HTC is it's replacement.
Cheers,
Paul

Well i my self have a herald or atlas >>or normal people call it the t-mobile wing so i wouldnt know exactly which one is the best
for that model but i have done alot od flashing and u always need to just post a question to the senoir members they know alot of the info and work arounds.....I promise they will make a difference ..send them private message its faster..and if ur phone is a
touch then go to the forums that show the names >>> Vogue or the Elf just look at them to see whihc one looks like urs...speak or ask the question for better programming speed to on of the senoir members it should show if they are seniors under there names.
Will do, thanks again Perfection3.

[Q] HTC_Desire A8181 to WM6.5

Is it possible to put a WM6.5 rom in the HTC Desire in stead of android.
It's a dutch KPN phone.
I ask it for a friend, who couldn't get a HTC HD2 anymore by contract.
So he has now the Desire but with Android while he was counting on WM6.5.
I hope there is one so he can work more suitable with the Desire.
He also want to use the phone as internet port for his laptop trough USB, but i can't find any solutions for this for him without costs.
Thanks in advance everyone.
I so want to subscribe to this thread.... I can see the answers already!
"WHY?" "Are you serious?" "Is this a joke?" PPPP
May I suggest the "search" feature?
To answer your question. NO it is not possible. Winmo is closed source and costs money per copy. So fist someone would need to ensure and/or port all drivers to work on desire and spent money on each copy installed on a phone.
TL;DR no it wont work.
-.-
Not again.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Oke, before everybody ask me if i'm crazy to go to WM6.5, the answer is NO !!
But my friend is used to WM6.5 and is an older person who is not familiar with Android and has difficulties to change every time with all this electronical stuff.
KPN did not told him about Android and when you unpack the phone and allready used him once, than you can't return it. So thats why i asked these 2 questions.
I'm sorry if i hurt someone.
Thanks allready for the replies
I dont think that he will not get used to android.... so just give him some days.
oke, we will see what happens.
Thanks all

Sense 3.0 widget for slide?

This is sense 3.0 widget for Desire HD:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1062962
I really love HTC Sense 3.0,
What should I do for my Slide?
I even dont know ,how to use the Widget..
Who can tell me?
THANK YOU EVERY MUCH
I don't think Sense 3.0 widgets are backward compatible with our device, so I don't think we can install it.
also, don't double post in two different sections of the forum. ask the question in Q&A, we will see it

Thanks your answer first ,but it's unfortunate ,I have seen many ROMs for desire hd ,which is HTC sense 2.1 with 3.0s widgets in China's bbs.
by the way,I am only a China's student ,my English isn't very well..
we do have two roms with Sense 2.1, but because of our screen size and resolution, 3.0 is kinda out there.
don't worry, if there's a question you don't know how to ask in English, message me in Chinese (I'm Chinese as well). but when possible, try asking it in English first, your English will improve much faster that way.
