*** The Official HTC Desire (Bravo) Thread! ***

Edit each contact in Google and then select "groups" (just above the contact info) and choose "remove from my contacts".

This will keep the contact in Google (under all contacts) but remove it from the phone one (once it syncs)

that was where i was going wrong, i thought if i clicked remove from contacts it would kick them out of gmail.

shame for some reason i cant create a group in gmail and then that group and only that group syncs. as it will sync any that is classed as 'my contact'

Quicky on Froyo and rooted Desire.

Am I correct in saying that when a standard HTC Froyo update comes out from HTC, rooted users will not be able to update OTA ??

If so, will it mean someone will have to make a vanilla HTC Froyo ROM (as in one from HTC with Sense etc) to download manually and update manually ??

Not looking for the hacked versions available now, specifically referring to a plain Froyo ROM when HTC release theirs.

 

[Howard]

Any reason I shouldn't immediately just update it to the latest HTC ROM as soon as I get it out of the box?

What are the 'must-have' apps to install to start with? I love customising stuff so I'm sure in time I'll be arsing around with all sorts, mind!

What car cradles/holders are people recommending?


Thanks

Anyone?

Also, is this the pouch people are buying http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desi...edium=comparison&utm_campaign=google+products ?

Can anyone help me with calendars?

I can't seem to add shared 'interesting' calendars from my google calendars to my phone? I've added England WC games and Chelsea fixtures onto my google calendar as seperate calendars but I can't add them on the phone?

 

[Richie]

Go into your calendar then choose Menu > More > Calendars > Hit menu again > Add Calendar > choose the ones you want.

This should add them to the list. Make sure they are checked and they will appear.


If they are not available to select at step 1, so a full Google sync within the Accounts section of main options.

 

[Robbo]

Don't think its been said but Paul @ Modaco has now started work on froyo for the Desire now.

Hopefully him combined with the other folk should speed up its progress

Nope they won't come up in that list. From googling its a common problem and there doesn't seem to be a fix.

This makes me a sad panda.

I finally work myself up to root my phone and the website for generating the code for the goldcard is down!

 

[Chris1712]

Another thing, anyway for the searched nearby layer to still come up in streetview mode? Works great when you search for pubs near me in the top down map view, but would be amazing in streetview mode with compass. I know the iPhone can do it so I'm a bit miffed I can't work it out on the Desire.

Sort of. Those who have rooted but kept everything stock ie stock ROM and recovery but have root access should be able to get the OTA, its only when you flash customised ROMs that you fail to receive OTA's

I hope HTC get Android 2. 2 working aiin, really wanting apps2sd now :/

 

[fowler002]

have htc 'pulled' the 1.21 update? like another poster on here I decided not to update when I initially got the update(was manual check as it hadn't come up automatically as with the 1.15.04 update), but I tried checking the other day and it's saying there are no updates available(I have a unlocked/unbranded desire bought from cpw on orange payg end of march).

 

[Richie]

It has definitely been pulled on tmob as it caused problems but not sure if HTC pulled it generally

Looks like froyo for Desire should be ready soon

His last post at this time in that thread

New version uploaded - all known issues resolved except for Camcorder not working.

 

[Neodite]

Paul at MoDaCo has just updated his Desire ROM.

All known issues have been fixed except for camcorder. Not sure how many (so far) unknown problems there are.

Might have to try this ROM out now instead of DeFroST




*edit* beaten by a mile i should refresh before i post

 

[Neodite]

Could someone try the latest MoDaCo Froyo release and see how it compares to DeFroST?

Don't want to spend a tenner if it's not as good yet

Anyone know how to make the mail notification go into K9 mail when selected? At the moment its still going into the default mail client when I select the notification.

Thanks

With BMW iDrive:

The phone pairs with the car and all contacts are transferred. Car contacts dialling, incoming et al work and voice quality is excellent.

Launcherpro is getting on my **** now, for some reason it can't cope with 2.2 roms and apps that are installed to the SD card seem to randomly disappear from the app drawer, the default 2.2 launcher never has this problem, damn shame as I like LP but I can't keep uninstalling/resintalling it to get apps back.

Got my desire a day ago...GF thinks I love it more than her :x i hug it when I got to sleep :<

just gotta get all the apps I want now!
