Oh... let's try to identify it then. Since your list says you're using stock ROM 1.84, mine is 1.34, so probably a software update won't solve it. Do you remember what apps you're using when the FN key stops functioning? And your on-screen keyboard, which one are you using (QWERTY, X9 keypad, ABC keypad) ?

will there be any issues upgrading 2.2 to gingerbread?..........

2.3 not officially out yet also...

hey guys, planning on buying one DZ just need to know the speed on this thing..how fast it is..any lagss?? camera quality good? battery life?

Those are quite personal preference. You might want to compare from user uploaded youtube clips. Compare with other phones you think might be the upper tier (Iphone, Desire HD). Camera is pretty normal to me, but I like having a dedicated physical button for it. On weekdays when I'm working I use the phone on full (ebuddy, gtalk, whatsapp, phone calls, sms, news, internet, 3.5G network) with as little syncing as possible but it'll drop to 25% by 3-4pm. During weekend I don't use the internet and ebuddy running on Edge it can last 2 days easily with 30-40% left.

@illusion

using handcent..stock mesage app no prob..onscreen keyboard using qwerty whn pano..vertical = compact qwerty

I have that prob too

Yup, happens on mine too every now and then. It's quite weird.

Only happens on Handscent so far tho. Never happened on anything else.

yes, my interest wud be the qwerty keyboard..if only htc come out with a later version of Z..that wud be awesome.

yeah...ive done my research...so far its pretty fast from what ive read..altho my main concern wud be GINGERBREAD..will the phone be possible to upgrade to 2.3?

Don't worry (: http://tnerd.com/2011/02/27/android-2-3-gi...ming-this-june/



anyway, I've finally received my otterbox cover and its soooooooo awesome. Recommended item (:

Official gingerbread aside, CM7.0.0 final just got released! (actually this morning but was too busy to post).

Met a classmate who uses the OG Desire and flashed a 2.3.3 rom. The FPS is totally higher. Scrolling the app drawer is so much smoother! This weekend when I get back to my house I'll do the obligatory CM7 install. Can't wait!

i haf a quick method of reviving the FN key..press fn + symbol..then jst close the symbol menu and ur fn + (wadeva) works like a charm again

Oh.. Seems like its really just handcent issue. Thanks for the quick fix method.

any way to make the phone notify, either by sound or vibration, when using the physical keyboard?.......the keys are not very responsive, and often cannot tell if the key had been pressed adequately, many missed letters..........

Hi guys, im new to android n htc phones. I juz got my htc desire z recently, n the desire z dat i got is europe set. i dun reli know how to use the htc sense for location, n map for malaysia too. i can only use normal google map wif wifi connected.
Any sifu willing to explain to me? thanks

@limeuu, dun think something like that exists. One thing is keyboards are not common on all android so development in that respect is a bit lacking i guess.

oh dear.........the old dopod with win mobile does have clicks on keypress, if enabled, so at least you know the key has been pressed right.........

To rom flashers out there, HTC Sensation ROM is booted up on the Vision!

It's only time till a perfect port is done.

Proper video of assembly/disassembly of the phone is up. Now loose complainers can attempt this easier =D

the htcsync software is not very good, and presumes one has outlook to backup up contacts and calender. Is there a good free software that will back up all content in the phone to the pc without need to have softwares like outlook?
