It is TFT LCD. Although the colour saturation not as good as Amoled but the size of the screen is more than enough to compensate this little shortcoming.

The battery can last a day for moderate usage. For heavy users, get yourself a second battery or a mobile battery booster. It is definitely not a deal breaker.

Your Desire HD new battery may not reach its optimum level yet. Please use the Desire HD for a few weeks first. If the battery still draining fast, perform the Battery Calibration tip in the next post, it might help.

Generally, the following will conserve your battery too:
1. Turn down the brightness of your screen. [Menu>>Settings>>Display>>Brightness]
2. Tun off sync with HTCsense.com - it is not working at the moment so dun bother sync with it at the moment. [Menu>>Settings>>Accounts & Sync>>HTC Sense>>uncheck Sync HTC Sense]
3. Change your mobile network to GSM only when you are not using data connection. [Menu>>Settings>>Wireless & networks>>Mobile networks>>Network Mode>>select GSM only]

Please do not bother with HTCSense.com as it is not working as it should now. So leave it alone and turn off your HTCSense.com at your Sync setting to conserve battery life.

This is Google Navigation which is not supported for Malaysia. To use the HTC Navigation, select Car Panel >> Navigation (with Green Arrow).

Turn on the USB Debugging Mode - Menu >> Settings >> Applications >> Development >> select USB debugging. This will solve the problem most of the cases.

Copy the MP3 ringtone to the respective folder in the microSD card:
/sdcard/alarms OR /sdcard/media/alarms
/sdcard/notifications OR /sdcard/media/notifications
/sdcard/ringtones OR /sdcard/media/ringtones

1. Use the Desire HD until the battery totally flat and auto off.
2. Turn it ON and Charge for 8 hours or more with wall charger.
3. Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour.
4. Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour.
5. Use the Desire HD until the battery totally flat and auto off.
6. Turn it ON and Charge until full (NO NEED to charge for 8 hours again).
Steps 2-4 is the original steps. My DHD battery life is still the same as before after step 4. Only after I did step 5 and 6 the battery become super long lasting.

First, my laptop and DHD is connected the same WIFI network.

TURN OFF ANY FIREWALL, ON WINDOWS OR ANTI VIRUS.

on the router - Enable Universal Plug & Play

On the computer
Go to My computer > Network > Media Device > click on the device name
Media Player will launch
Go to Stream>tick " Allow remote control of my player. Please check the "More streaming Options. Make sure the "Media program on this PC and remote connection" is Allowed.

LET THIS WINDOW MEDIA PLAYER OPEN, DO NOT CLOSE IT.

On the DHD
Go to "Connected media" app, select music, photos or videos
eg.
select photos>you will see a button at the bottom called " Connected media". It will searching the media device.
go to album ( camera shots ), select any photo, then you should able to select the player.

Another Details Walkthru : Click Me!!

The following is a quick version of this guide, each setting is later explored in details.

* Manually set your focus, wait for the focus signal to turn green, keep your hand steady until the shot is taken (keep it till the preview appears)
* Make sure the camera protection glass is wiped clean
* To fix image quality: Disable digital sharpness so it’s set to -2 or reduce it to -1 if you feel its too soft but never sharpness 0, or you can later increase sharpness using external apps.
* To fix the video recording freezes: update to firmware 1.72 also make sure no apps are busy in the background (i.e. skype)
* To fix low light bad video FPS: reduce the exposure setting to -2, it will go up to 30fps, use the flash to boost the brightness back.
* To fix the green tint caused by the flash: set white balance to Fluorescent.
* To fix the changing colors while recording video indoors: set the white balance manualy. Auto is good during daylight but jumpy indoors.
* Higher ISO will always boost the camera available light, so higher ISO improves frame rate, reduces motion blur and reveals more detail in darkness.
However keep in mind higher ISO will reduce image quality since it introduces noise to the image. Auto ISO is pretty smart.
* If your photo is washed out, use the auto enhance effect from the gallery to fix levels and color balance, your photo will stay at 8MP

backup rom = rom manager (clockwork mod)
backup image of phone = nandroid backup (also provided by rom manager using recovery startup)
backup simcard = my backup pro
backup sdcard = just copy & paste (Ctrl A and Ctrl C then Ctrl P) your sdcard into PC
backup apps + saves = titanium backup (make sure u have the exact same version of whatever apps u r using previously when restoring saves)

Simply put - Rooting is the process to gain the SuperUser status of the device so you can do modification to the system. Flashing ROM is like installing a different flavour of system into the device. You can do Rooting only, to be able to use certain application like Titanium Backup and Shootme, but no need to go further if you do not want to. However, if you want to Flash custom rom, then you must first Root the phone first before you can flash new rom.

Yes. Rooting and flashing will void the warranty of your Desire HD. However if you are able to flash back the original rom and UnRoot it before you send it back to HTC for warranty/service, it should not be a problem.
