HTC Desire 510 - user opinions and reviews

I had built a Perk farm about two years ago. I bought this phone in a lot with two others, all cracked screens. This was my first HTC device. I loved how HTC allows users to unlock their bootloader for their phone, that is if it is not Verizon. I unlocked it and installed ViPER4Android. I had done the glass replacement and cleaned the headphone jack. When I read GSMArena review of the audio output, I knew it was worth repairing. The ten millimetre thickness allowed me to use without a case. The front facing camera did not work for some reason. This phone projected a large and wide stereo image with headphones. When I had JVC on ears and XHR DirectBass convolver, the phone could output 25hz. This was before I focused on audio clarity.
With bootloader unlock and root, along with disabling or removing Google apps, you can overcome the measly storage limit. External storage is a must.
Their was a limited development scene for this phone, but TWRP is available. You can get custom ROMs like RaptorSense and a CyanogenMod 11 without Wi-Fi. The new version of AINUR is compatible with Kitkat, so if you root you will have professional audio quality.
These are cheap on eBay because of the limited storage and touch screen issues, but if you get a cheap screen protector it is calibrated. A decent backup phone or disposable music player.

I got the HTC Desire 510 on eBay in a Auction and the phone work great and I won it for
$.99 + shipping I got the phone to use as a dash camera I not into cell phones but it is good way to setup a dash camera for you car there are Dash Cam Apps that work just like a the d-cam they sell. I put a 16gb micro SD card and I set up the App to record in 10 min. videos and set it to storage to use 8gb on the card and will erase the oldies video so I was just looking for a older phone with a 1080p HD camera and this one works great as a dash

I had this phone for 3 years and I loved it. I had it 2014 - 2017 November. At the time I had 2 phones on me(Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and the HTC Desire 510) and loved both of them. I broke the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 by dropping it in water. 8 months ago(November 2017) I got the Huawei P10 Lite.

If your phone can't recieve photo messages, it will be an issue with your carrier and the 8gb of storage is perfectly fine on my model I had 6gb free when I got it.

I found a fix for the possessed touchscreen, just use a plastic cover on the screen, and while it is by no means perfect, it is still a MAJOR improvement over the "naked" screen.
I have this phone only since yesterday and so far so good, disregarding the touchscreen.

I can't install any apps. It says there's not enough storage. What's funny is that I've got plenty of storage. Can anyone help me?

Everything sucks. Keyboard glitches, blurry camera (won't focus), can't receive photo on messages, 8gb memory (this is the worse, since the default system took about 5-6 gb) ... The only good thing being that I've dropped this phone like a million times and there are only minor scratches on the edge and a little crack on the screen (You can't even see it unless you pay attention)
