More and more owners of the HTC Desire and other HTC phones are reporting cases where their phones seemingly randomly reboots, resulting in a hard reset of the phone (meaning all the users data is removed). The problem seems to arise when simple apps like the browser or the navigator is used. These apps use the internet to function, and many speculate that the problem is 3G related as it occurs mainly when 3G connection is used. Something interesting is that people living in cold conditions have been less likely to experience this, and cooling the phone down has also seemed to temporarily solve the problem. This means it's caused by overheating, and many speculate it is therefore processor related. The Desire is equipped with a 1 GHz ARMv7 "Snapdragon processor.
Now, more importantly, how will this affect the HTC Desire HD? The DHD uses a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdgragon 8255 processor, which is similar to the processor found in the HTC Desire. Will the Desire HD therefore suffer from the same problem? This is something that ofcourse cannot be answered at this moment, but that will be found out later as the phone is released to the general public later this month. Many HTC Desire users who are stuck with this issue are reporting it as making their phones "completely useless", destroying an otherwise very nice user experience. They are also warning others NOT to buy any future HTC devices, as they will only regret it in the future. For all you readers awaiting the new Desire HD and for HTC itself I'm hoping that DHD wont be affected by this, as it would surely affect the future of the phone and how successful it will ultimately be.
What do you think? Leave a comment below and state how you think the Desire HD will be affected.
