Ok, so my HTC Desire is just over 2 weeks old now and for some reason it appears to have developed numerous critical faults which I am baffled by. I wasn't fiddling with it, it isn't rooted, I wasn't doing anything. This seemed to happen by itself.
Its locked to O2, HTC Desire - running the official 2.2 update which I managed to download before it was pulled by o2. As I said I don't think the update caused it as its been running this 2.2 update for 2 weeks almost without problems. I've tried turning it on and off, using the original HTC scene etc etc, still the problem persists. Here are the problems.....
So, any advice?
- I though of doing a factory reset, or hard reset, but obviously this will delete all my data...
- If I do do a factory reset, seeing as this phone was originally on 2.1 will it return it to that or the official 2.2 update I got before it was pulled from o2 instead ? Cause I don't want to hard reset if it will go back to 2.1 as O2 pulled the update.
- Also, my phone contacts are saved to some google thing, so can I just resync these if I reset?
- Any other solutions?
Big thanks to anyone who helps, i'll be sure to hit the thanks button!

- When turning on the phone, it freezes for about 5 minutes at the sim pin code stage.
- Once it finally loads, and throughout the day I keep getting some error about htc sense / htc sense launcher crashing.
- The phone keeps randomly freezing for no reason for a few minute, ie. won't respond to any touches.
- Suddenly, it won't show any of my sd card apps anywhere like in the menu, or widgets etc.
- The sd apps show under the installed apps bit, but are all greyed out with an sd card icon (will upload pics to show if necessary).
- Yet, the sd card surely can't be faulty as its showing up in the phone, I can browse its files and I can play the music from it in the default music player.
