what htc need more than anything else is some quality control paricularly with regard to the software side of things,less quantity, more quality. my last3phones are desire, desire z and sensation, but my next phone will not be an htc.
100% agree with youOriginally Posted by geoffmail500
Ever since the Sense 3.0 update on my Desire HD, it's been slower and buggier than ever.
And with the last minute cancellation of ICS, there is now way I'm forgiving them.
I agree. My HTC is really slow and a lot more buggy than it was when I got it. My next phone won't be HTC either.
I have had a lot of issues with my sensation also, as well as with my Desire HD before. My next phone is also not going to be a HTC!

With Windows Phone 7.5 at least, manufacturers can't make the os buggy meaning that every single Windows Phone operates the same - without crashing and locking up.
I assume Windows Phone 8.0 will be the same which means people only have to worry about HTC hardware.

Well, there are any number of ways HTC and MS could screw this up, but I'm inclined to agree. My inexpensive Windows 7.5 Phone works like a charm, and it gets better with every update (unlike my iPhone 3G, that only ever got slower and slower).
I have an HD7, and I won't be going HTC again, the build quality is so terrible. Nokia and Samsung look like far better options.
As cameronlite says, the OS is incredibly stable, it hasn't crash once in 2 years like my previous and current Iphone, which seem to like to crash and lockup constantly.
My desire HD has been fine during its 2 years life. To expect the ICS update was a little ambitious considering ICS is designed for multicore processors. I have no issue with HTC and their software support. Phones has worked well and the intial bugs were ironed out.
The biggest issue for HTC is they keep making the same mistakes with their high end phones. Rubbish batteries and rubbish speakers.
The last OTA update for my Wildfire S has essentially rendered the phone useless as now there isn't enough on-board storage to do even basic stuff like sync emails and receive texts.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I've got an unofficial Cyanogen Mod 10 (i.e. Jelly Bean) nightly running on my Desire HD and it's very smooth and stable. I think that shows that HTC's problem was with their own Sense software not with Android 4.x.
My Desire S is on stock rom. Could someone recommend a Rom that is faster and better battery life?
That was my reading of the situation too. Which is a shame since being "developer friendly" doesn't seem to involve that much effort - in fact you seem to have to exert yourself to be "unfriendly" by developing locked bootloaders etc.
Never owned an HTC phone myself, but I've Desire'd (pun intended) one in the past. That said, my eldest kid's One S seems to be a pretty decent device - and so far she's not managed to slow it to a crawl (doing the usual teenie thing of loading any old crap app that takes her fancy), which says something to it's performance. Seriously considered a One X for myself, but the greater flexibility of the S3 swung me to it instead.
One thing I will criticise HTC for though is that Sense now looks pretty naff compared to TouchWiz and especially stock ICS. From the comments on XDA about "desensitizing" One series phones, I'm not the only one who isn't a fan.

Well,they y shoudn't have officially announced ICS for the DHD then.My desire HD has been fine during its 2 years life. To expect the ICS update was a little ambitious considering ICS is designed for multicore processors. I have no issue with HTC and their software support. Phones has worked well and the intial bugs were ironed out.
The biggest issue for HTC is they keep making the same mistakes with their high end phones. Rubbish batteries and rubbish speakers.
My HTC Desire HD: Had poor battery life from day 1; Great HTC SW interface; no upgrade to ICS but no matter due to HW limit; sellotape holding on volume button because the glue came unstuck due to battery swapping as bought 2nd battery for peace of mind. Next stop either Nokia or Apple due to HW quality & Nokia camera & Apple design & get away from Android. Apps no problem as don't need many. Let's hope battery life gets better.
Sounds like sales overreached themselves
