Does anyone know if the Desire will get 802.11n support when froyo releases?

You put on your bullying uniform and give it a shove!


If that doesn't work, however, then the following from Recovery mode and then using the adb-windows.bat (load a command prompt window at thatd ircetory) punch in:

be sure to have the push files in the same folder too

I have pushed the APK file across... now how do I install it?

It should be just installed AFAIK as soon as it hits the /app/ folder.

It's been ages since I last pushed via adb hough.

I put the file into /system/apps and nothing happened

Have a search, there's only 1 seller. Same seller (oman something) I bought off.

[Akers]

Is there due to be a new Android phone from HTC? Got a Hero atm but it's boring me now and want a new toy, thinking of getting a desire next month but can hold out if anything new is due!

 

[Robbo]

Nothing announced from HTC as of yet, but I'm sure we'll see something fancy before the year is out.

If you are on O2 or know someone thats on the network, you can buy the handsets offline for £285 from retentions which undercuts a lot of other places.

There a really big thread on HUKD about it and it's pretty straightforward to do.

The phones unlocked, but has o2 branding (startup and wallpaper). Nothing a rooted rom won't sort out.

Wow that's a good deal, wish I had done that myself - paid £400 here, but that was in March..

Might get another though

I'm looking for PAYG mate, £10PM and i get my 500 o2 and landline minutes, Internet and £2.50 left for texts.

Just ring everyone two rings, Hang up, Wait for callback

Don't you get a free Desire if you go contract ? That seems a lot when you are already paying out to them, Only £40 ~ £50 cheaper than buying sim free from the bay.


Don't really want to go into a contract at all, Media player/mobile browser (New toy) is the main reasons i am after this phone.

You can get it for £285 with o2 and don't need to have it on contract with them, that's what he's saying - and I've read the thread on HUKD's where this is a common occurrence

from what I understand it's a mid-contract upgrade on the phone, they don't just hand out £400 phones for little over half price for fun now
