    Need ADB drivers for Desire HD. Not easy.

    Having trawled various forums and threads to try and deal with my issue I've resorted to being annoying and just asking. I need to get ADB drivers working on my XP laptop but if I try to install automatically, I just get: "The file "WinUSBCoInstaller.dll" on Android WinUsb installation disk...

    It's not compatible with the desire hd. The music controls don't work with the handset at all, the phone gets hot and slows down from prolonged use and it loses connection periodically...sometimes locks up completely. I hope they fix the issues coss I bought one but why would they? Its not...

    Help HTCSense.com...anyone got it ALL working yet?

    I can occasionally get my phone to ring remotely...only occasionally, if it feels like it. I selected the lock option once, it did nothing to the phone but the website claims ever since that my handset is locked. I daren't try the erase option just in case it DOES actually work. As for...

    Facebook 1.4 update.

    Ok, this is a general post, not phone-specific but Facebook has been updated on android today to include places and groups but the places portion still isn't as good as the iphone version. You can only add your own places by address and not GPS location like on the iOS version. Bit pants if...

    Video sorting in stock player. Possible?

    Has anyone found a way to sort videos by title in the stock video player? Some of the third party players do it but then you can't use Dolby with those. I've got 3 seasons of a tv series on my card and the thumbnails are presented in a totally random order when I go into my video collection...

    Help Camera lens not central? Check yours.

    Just noticed that the camera lens in mine is below centre behind the little round window that protects it. It doesn't affect the incoming light or quality at all but just wondering if this is a common thing or if I should maybe get an exchange. Can you all check yours under a light and post...

    Convert DiVX/DVD to native Desire HD format.

    Has anyone found a decent, all-in-one solution for converting any video format or disc to play fullscreen on the Desire HD? Failing that, does anyone know the exact specs for ideal playback on the device? I seem to recall it's H.264 compatible for a start but what screen resolution is ideal...

    Help No mobile network widget since RUU flash.

    So I'm back on unrooted Froyo after an official RUU flash but there's no mobile network widget like I know exists on other peoples Desire. My wife has the option to add an applications widget for it but I don't. I used the most recommended file but it doesn't seem to be the UK official rom...

    Random rebooting seems to be quite common.

    I've scoured the net while researching my problem and it seems that this is a common problem being caused by the radio board getting too hot through stress-use. Using GPS and 3G at the same time seems to be the biggest cause of problems. This may be a widespread issue that needs addressing...

    Root RUU: Return to stock

    Couple of questions really. Firstly, the phone is currently on HBoot 0.80 so can anyone direct me to an RUU zip that'll return me to stock 2.1? Found a dead link by googling but not much else. Also, will the above reset the radio to stock too?

    Root If I have to send my rooted phone back to HTC......

    Will restoring a NAND backup of the phone before it was rooted be enough to hide any evidence of tampering? Also, is there any way to completely wipe the phone without doing any damage? I'm talking system files...the works.

    Help Battery/charging issues.

    Last night my desire decided to start shutting down when I plugged the charger in and it would take a battery drop out to get it to restart. Even then, it was getting stuck in a boot loop and wouldn't even let me into recovery. I've changed to a more established rom as I thought Cyanogen...

    Root Switching ROM. Is there an easier way?

    OK, the way I do it is a full backup with my backup pro, wipe the phone completely, wipe the a2sd partition, clear the dalvik etc., load new rom and then proceed to re install everything from backup but my god what a fudge about. Is it really necessary to wipe everytime? I see people talking...

    Root Best/fastest/most stable Froyo ROM w/sense for Desire.

    Basically, I've tried a few and they've all had their faults/bugs which I know is to be expected. I'm no expert at this stuff but I've been hearing about all kinds of ROMs and their good and bad points. Ideally, I'd like something that has the unnecessary junk removed but some handy apps in...
