Is now 3 days that i put my hands on Desire, im coming from an old X1 (thanks gtrab for the Pure 6.5 ROM) and the only thing i can say is ... OMG the future on my hands!
Im pretty astonished by android, by the Desire itself , the market place and by the Extended reality apps (goggles, shopper...) but i discovered a few things that are not working and i cannot figure why...
Google Earth is not working / installing ... the browser (once i try to follow the google link) say "application not found"... why?
Also Voice search is not installing at all, i think because im italian and google not allow this kind of dload due to the fact that voice search only support english , mandarine and japanese... is this possible?
Some of you can help me on clear up those little problems ?
Many thanks in advance ...

Good day,
Sorry sorry sorry in advanced if this has been asked before.
I did not find it using the search (the search does not like me)
I used to have windows mobile phones.
And i flashed roms every week.
but on my android, i have done nothing yet.
Because i am pretty happy with it the way it is.
the only thing at this moment i can think of what would be nice, if is it would be a little bit faster.
So i,m just wondering.
If i flash a different rom.
What will change for me.
I read that there are different roms that differ in the "Google experience"
So what will happen for me in the android market, will i have it, and will i see the same apps i am seeing now.
What are the other advantages of flashing?
I don't want to end up with a rom that does not give me what i gave now + more.
so basically... is it worth it?
i have the B version.
htc magic from vodafone Netherlands.
This is what I know:
After get the root and flash, you will have everything has normally you have with the exception of the updates for android (for example, if you root, I think you will not have the option to update the android cupkake to donut) but most probably that you will be able to update it any way using the info in the forum...
From that, market and everything will work exactally the same as it's working for you right now...
The other difference will be the "the google experience"... There are actually 2 kind of Magics (Sapphires) devices... the "vodafone" one (google experience) and the HTC one (just HTC experience xD)...
The main difference is that the vodafone one has less ram than the htc (192 against 288 or something like that) and the vodafone uses only the android that google gives you, instead, the HTC one will have the HTC Sense (the same desktop that is using the HTC Hero right now) and you will be able to use the donut as well...
So I think the main advantage goes to the HTC Magic (HTC Magic is 32A, the Vodafone one is 32B board)...
I have rooted my phone (HTC Magic 32A) and I'm able to use any 32A rom I like and I have everything enabled (market, google maps, etc...)
It works like a charm =D...
PD: sorry if my english is not so good, I speak spanish and even I can understand english sometimes I can't write it or speak it very well...
hi, i am going to buy htc tattoo in 2 days time. before that i need to know whether i have plenty of apps alternative to windows mobile apps.
i also heard that its a qvga screen, so developers have to sign it to get it working on tattoo (240x320 qvga screen). is that true that we may expect good number of apps for this device??? by the grace of developers showing interest in developing apps & games for qvga screen(old mobile screen)... ????
will it be future proof ???? i am also not sure about the availability of upgrade to android 2.0 from 1.6. can anyone reply to these messages???
waiting for ur responses.... if i wanna install any application on htc tattoo, where do i get the apps & how do i install it???? like is it like just clicking on exe files as in windows???? or is there any special way how i should install apps & games????
i know it may sound like a noob talk. but what to do, i am totally new to this android thing..... no idea on how to get it started & know more about it, android & its different versions of OS..... kindly throw some light on where to get all information about it & its uses over windows mobile.... in simple & detailed manner.....
detailed information is highly appreciated...... thanks
I switched from a WM HTC Diamond to the cheaper HTC Tattoo and find it quicker, and with more apps!
But it might be useful for you to tell us what apps you want/use already, and we can say whether or not they are on Tattoo.
As for 2.0 who knows, talk is it should eventually get the upgrade but not exactly high priority,
Info
I have also switched from HTC Diamond to Tattoo. I know that Tattoo is cheaper but I like it more.
To install .apk you can use HTC Sync. After synchronization you can find on main screen HTC Sync :Application Installer and you can use it for install any application.
You can use ASTRO file manager to install .apk from Tattoo
There is no problem with APPS, I already have installed even AndNav2, and There is a lot of software in the market. Something that Diamond doesnt have
This phone beat the Diamond with performance, software,easy to use and price, but not with the display resolution.
how about upgrading android 1.6 to 2.1 on htc tattoo ??? any ROM available yet??? i wanna try that version of android OS on my htc tattoo.... any input about its guide would be appreciated.....
@kashish, where r u from buddy??? u just vanished after u asked me a question??? fine... i wanna know if 3G is launcehd in India, can i use it with my tattoo with firmware update??? ur reply is highly appreciated pls....
Hey guys, I need some assistance here. I bought a Tattoo and believe me I love it - even coming from higher-end Android phones, the problem is that mine is apparently a Malaysian variant and there is no ANDROID MARKET as such - only SLIDE ME. I am not sure of the difference in availability off apps between the two, but I have heard there are only 25% of the usual apps on SLIDE ME as compared to ANDROID MARKET. Anyway, my main issue here is that I cannot get any Instant Messenger apps like Agile Messenger or doc viewers like Adobe, Quickoffice or Documents To Go. Are these available (even in paid form) for the Tattoo? I love this little phone and it is super-fast - but I NEED these apps on the Tattoo. Anyone able to shed some light for me?

Right now, I think only BSNL or MTNL provides 3G service. I just activated Vodafone's EDGE service, known as Vodafone Mobile Connect, and it works just fine with my Tattoo. GPS, Twitter, Facebook updates... all work just fine. I do hope that when more operators start providing 3G service, HTC releases an update to enable 3G. I am pretty sure that it's a software limitation and not a hardware limitation.

Oh really? I will check that out on SlideMe and hopefully that is the case!
i wanna know how i can convert cab files to apk file.... because i can see swype application for windows mobiles being available in 4shared, but no swype apk file anywhere on the net.....
i request here, is there anyone who knows how to convert cab to apk ???? i know it may sound silly.... but i am a noob here. i also understand that it needs to be coded and all stuff.... but as i said before, i wanna know how to do it step by step..... please......
OK -Documents To Go IS indeed available for the Tattoo users out there! Looking for a good IM app next!
Meebo's a pretty good IM app. Give it a try. Available on Market.

We've now been given these 'Blackberry' look-a-likes at work. And although I'm normally an HTC guy this is a reasonable phone and should have it's own forum.
I can confirm that Route 66 runs like a dream without any lag ;-)

Greetings
i just bought the HD mini yesterday , and am very pleased so far.. but unfortunatly, seems there are no programes , themes and games for the phone on forum , am not a fan of apps , tweaking and so on .. but a couple of new games and theme everynow and then is cool ... so am a bit dissapointed
However, i have a couple of questions concerning the phone
1- seems that the accelerometer work withs specific items ( internet exploring and messaging) .. video player flips the screen by default .. so is there any possible way for accelerometer to work with windows live messenger .. since i can type correctly only when the wide keyboard is on
2- is there any possible way to use facebook chat on the phone?
Thnx for the replies in advance
