Sahiel, 29 Jul 2012I bought HTC desire V just 3 weeks back.It has lot of issue.1.Network keep disappearing. 2.Ph... moreHopefully answers to your questions!
1- make sure your main sim is inserted to the GSM slot. Had the same issue when tried to be funny. choose the main GSM sim as your preferred sim too.
2- no such issue with mine. guess make sure you close some of the unused apps.

BTW, those who complain about the "filkering" signs on the screen....check your Settings-Developer Settings, please un-tick all the selections there! Again tried to be funny then came all the "matrix" signs on top of the screen.

BTW2 - battery lasts 2 full days with average usage! Not bad for a smartphone i guess.

                                its really good............ battery life is above average using all apps, music, net, and without changing factory settings......... feel is also like desire.. both sims work fine....... value for money... GO nd BUY.

                                        Anonymous, 16 Aug 2012HI, I got the DesireV international model and it is a great phone... i have loaded lots of ... moreI am disappointed with the poor battery back up of my samsung galaxy ace duos SCH-I589 smart phone.

                                        Thats why I looked at HTC desire V.

                                        How is the battery life when using GPRS and intenet?

                                        Does applications hang? are you happy with the RAM.

                                        I have read a lot of adverse comments in this forum.
                                        Are you really satisfied with your device?

                                        Please reply at ali1951@gmail.com

                                        Thanks for your troube.
