HTC Desire (T-Mobile Retail Packaging Picture / Info)

Some have asked.. So heres the pic and info.
- No branding on phone physically what so ever
- T-Mobile logo on boot
- Tiny "w'n'w" on the internet icon
- SIM Locked to T-Mobile (Cost will be £15 to get an online code direct from T-Mobile)
That's it though - below is picture of retail packaging with all contents. Also comes with 4GB Card

is it sim-unlocked?

Hi
Could you tell me if the phone is able to show the 576MB of memory? It should be in the 'About Phone' menu options. The last I remember is that this was a kernel fix and most of the custom ROM's now have a fix for it.
regards

Those details aren't within the "About Phone" area im afraid - cant find them anywhere.. Hardware Info only shows Wifi Mac Address and Bluetooth Address.

Damn that AMOLED screen looks amazing :drool:
Will be the first time I see/own a AMOLED screen. Somewhere in April I will be getting the Desire.. enjoying my HD2 until I sell it.

Just received mine from T-Mobile today as well, though noticed that there is no voice search built in...any suggestions on how to add this? Looking for a suitable apk atm (if any rom chefs have it to hand it would be much appreciated!)

Ok mate, many thanks for your help with this. I had a nexus one which didn't initially show full memory, but now there is a patch which lets the OS see it all and use it. I am expecting that that fix is already in the kernel.
Thanks, enjoy your phone; I will, on monday..

Hi guys,
I just registered but been reading these boars for a little while.
I was wondering if someone who just got the phone could tell me the exact size of the screen (in cm or mm if possible).
I ordered screen protectors from Germany, got them today but they look too small for the phone. Since I don't have mine yet (not until April 5th), I need to confirm or infirm that they sent me the wrong size.
Thanks guys!

I can tell you the answer to this - because i bought the same screen protectors .
Yes they are to small.. Completely useless purchase.

Also, can't seem to find a way to kill Sense...wanted to check out vanilla Android 2.1 but if I remove the defaults from HTC Sense and kill the app it just restarts...

Hey guys could you tell me which ebay user you bought the protectors from? I have ordered some too and my desire is coming on monday...
I bought from protectionfilms24, if they're too small I'll have to complain!
Thanks

Thats the one bud - rip off.. I cba chasing a refund for the sake of £2.50, as it'll mean sending them back.

Yup, they're the same ones I got as well, same Ebay seller.
Bummer, now I wonder where to find good ones. Maybe the official ones on play.com?

Same thing as the HTC Hero -
http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/22/how-to-turn-off-htc-sense/

shucks. what a rip off!! I think I'll go to play.com to order the official ones then. On another note, is everyone who's unlocking pretty much stuck on doing it through t-mobile then?

I emailed the seller, they said they're gonna check if they didn't send me the wrong size. They replied only a couple of hours after I emailed them so I guess they're pretty trustworthy, at least on this.
Just fyi, the protectors I have are 52*31 mm in size.

Bronze clip of sim card reader fell off

So I just bought this white gnex off of an xda member and everything seemed good and it worked fine. I got home and put my sim card in and one of the bronze pieces fell off. It will not recognize my sim at all. Can i contact samsung for this for warranty?

You can. I did it with my nexus s.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I dont have the reciept for this as i bought it off someone here, would that be a problem? I have no experience contacting samsung about a warranty.

I bought a nexus s 4g off someone and sent it to Samsung. They looked up the esn or meid and based the warranty period from that. Probably whenever it got activated or registered. Just call them.

Thanks for the replies, definitely going to give them a call.

Unless you can find a cheaper broken Nexus or has warranty, it will cost you about $85 for Samsung to replace it, that is if the sim slot is removable. If its soldered onto the mobo, it'll be really expensive. If removable, try to see if they are willing to sell the part.
The removable type sim slots are very easy to replace, but they just don't sell replacements even on ebay except for a few cheaper models and generic ones. If you try to use one from a different phone, every model uses a different connector, even within the Galaxy line.
If you have soldering tools or someone who have experience with soldering, they might be able to solder some kind of extension to the broken pin, or the original piece that broke off, though it would require some very careful handling.
This is also why using micro-sim adaptor is dangerous with these cheap type of sim slots the Galaxy line uses.

Since you live in the US, good luck trying to get Samsung Europe to help you with that warranty. They may sell you the part but I doubt you'll be getting a free replacement or warranty work done.

Damn looks like I'm SOL then, $420 down the drain.

Don't think you're SOL. You can probably get it fixed (or fix it yourself), you just won't get it done for free.

Find the number for Samsung USA and call them to see if they will service your Nexus for a cost.
I don't know if they service international phone, but this one is so much alike to the Verizon version.

They don't want anything to do with an international phone usually, but they may sell you the part or fix this simple issue for a fee. They definitely won't do it for free though.

yup. they're the best thanks a ton, once again!

I just broke one of the pins on my Galaxy Nexus because I was using a microsim with an adapter. The adapter got stuck on the pins and i pulled it too hard and one of the pins broke. The one that broke was one of the smaller pins that are visible through the holes in the reader. Seems like those are a lot harder to fix.
I saw some people were able to get it working with some aluminum foil so I gave it a shot. Although it seemed like it would only work when a bigger pin was broken (like the OP), after a few hours of messing with it, I did get it working!
You have to cut the tiniest piece of aluminum foil (so small its almost hard to handle) and then use a paper clip to push it down as far as you can into hole where you broke the pin. Then slide your sim card in and hope it doesn't slide down. If it stays, it seems to make contact and work.
The craziest thing is that I am still using a microSim and this time without the adapter. The reader is tight enough as to where the microsim slides in and stays put. So I could have avoided this by not using a reader in the first place Now hopefully it just stays put! I just never can take my SIM card out again...lol

FINALLY!! Replacement LCD & Digitizer

After all the people who broke the screen and had nothing to do i give to you! (drum roll please) http://vifocal.com/lcd-display-with...-oneplus-one-a0001-64gb-16gb-replacement.html

And here is a repair guide for those of you who are brave enough!

And a https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/OnePlus+One+Teardown/26484 for those who wish to repair the phone themselves.

@zephiK thanks ill add to op

In the ifixit teardown I noticed that the battery is not TOO difficult to remove. Does anyone know if replacement batteries are available for this device.
It is using a 3.8v 3100mah LiPo battery.
OnePlus probably woudn't sell the batteries on their own. I also read on another forum somewhere (can't remember which one now) somebody was thinking of creating a way that the battery connector could be extended and fit into the battery compartment. This way you wouldn't have to unscrew the plate just to take out the battery.
Even if this is not feasible it would still be reassuring to know where to purchase replacement batteries from. If anybody knows anything on this, please let us know, thanks.

Thanks for the link. Where is the repair guide? I see a Teardown link.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

When installed does this have little dots on the top of the screen. A friend just recently had a new 3rd party screen/digitizer installed on her G2 and you can see like small dots spaced perfectly across the phone. I am wondering if she just got a low quality replacement.

I've tried many times to repair my phones myself, every single time there was something gone wrong :laugh: Anyway glad to hear this :victory:

I'we seen 6 OPO's (with different dates of production) and all of them have yellow band at the bottom of the screen, so I can assumed that the most of OPO's have yellow band. My three friends says, tahey have no yellow band, but it is defenitely there (maybe they don't want to see it).
Go search for "Yellow" in OPO pages and you will see that so much people talk about it.
Even OPO admitted, that every 1+ have slightly yellow band on bottom of their phones.

Funny mine doesn't. So ha to you.

I hope you are not colour blind …

Mine doesn't have the yellow band either. I thought it was a bold statement.

I received 2 and neither had the yellow band. I am certain that I have at least average color differentiation.

Can confirm no yellow banding on mine

Did XDA not make a separate forum for the S6+?
Update: Ignore that question! Didn't realize this is not the S6E forum...

Will hold off for now... saw too many hands on and unboxing videos showing off the Titanium Silver and Platinum Gold models and the black just looks too boring to me... if I'm going to spend around $900 for a phone, it has to make me say wow I want this now, take my money. I'll wait to see how much expansys will ask for an unlocked model... Best Buy in the States currently sells unlocked S6 Edge phones so I guess it's just a matter of time before they get the gold Plus models as well. I've given up on silver... looks like it's only Asia that will get it for now and importing one through ebay is a headache and a risk if something goes wrong with it.
EDIT: Expansys is asking $1280CAD plus shipping and taxes which brings the unlocked 32GB S6 EDGE+ to almost $1500CAD... unless the Platinum Gold model they are selling is 24K gold they can shove it where the sun don't shine.

The Note 5 yes, but not necessarily anything else. That could be sooner or later than that. We'd know if Rogers actually updated their updates page EVER.

There is absolutely 0 (ZERO) difference between all the firmwares. They are exactly the same. All the carriers files are there and only your sim will trigger the related CSC install.
So you can install whichever.
