            Hi Friends,

            I recently bought HTC 816,and its really awesome.
            But yesterday my phone got hanged for about 3-4mins gave an error octa core not responding.
            Can any one suggest why this happened is this phone good enough.
            Also whenever i click photo eyes goes red and when i try to edit it it say no red eye detected. Is there any option where i can avoid red eye before clicking.
            As per my experience battery last for max 8 hours.

            Please help awaiting response.

                Bought this mobile a wek back from Spice hotspot Delhi South ex.@ 23300 -10% cash back in 3 months = 21000. I got this phone after much hassle as it was getting out of stock at every Spice shop. They are not even putting this in display as they say that people are purchasing it without trying
                I have a 25% employee coupon for Samsung and thus was getting S4 @ 23500 and note 3 neo @ 22000, but still i chose this. Last phone i had Samsung Galaxy R (cousin of S2): After two years it started hanging like hell. After update battery started draining 50% faster. I was very much disappointed. I purchased a flagship that time and it didn’t last even 2 years.
                Review of HTC Desire 816:
                1. Camera excellent at this price point, very good overall - pictures are a bit grainy sometimes. The anti-shake feature comes handy while clicking pics. of my kid. Adjustment of ISO and EV gives you ample room to play around
                2. Performance: after using a while it is showing signs of slowness in watsapp. Remember, processor is 2 generations old. Overall performance is ok if u r not using it for gaming and all. I use it for mostly browsing and it works pretty well
                3. The free flip cover looks quite cheap but works well. It is the magnetic cover that shuts the screen when you close it
                4. Placement of power button is awkward but for me it is not as the flip cover does the job of switching the display on off for me. The left power button can be a blessing in disguise against water damage etc.
                5. Display: quite bright and vivid. Never felt like low pixel density. As a fact, the human eye can only differentiate in ppi of less than 250 from a distance of around 12-18 inches
                6. No corning glass - you have to use this very carefully. Nowadays displays cost half the price of new phone
                7. Design - Look and feel is premium and fantastic. I don’t know why people are cribbing abt gloss etc. White color is unmatchable
                8. Battery - not good, just moderate. Doesn’t last even a day after moderate usage
                9. Sound quality from speakers – indeed high quality and clear sound from front speakers
                10. Software - I will give hands up to Samsung. Samsung UI is much user friendly and have some good functionalities. specially the dialer. u cannot send contact as test in sms but only as vCard. I don’t use blink feed feature
                11. Kit Kat - native phone OS is always better than the update as update is not optimized and tested fully. So hands up for latest OS
                12 I feel if it had snapdragon 600, +300mah battery and corning glass 3 even with a price increment of 3k. It would have been the best phone till date.
                13. Moto X is the good option if you can settle for smaller screen.
                14. Don’t purchase costly scratch guards from shops. It’s available @ 100-150 at local shops. I got one @100 from Nehru place Delhi
                Performance = 7/10, Camera =9/10, Display = 8/10. Build = 9/10. Value for money= 8.5/10. Sound quality = 9/10, OS and customizations = 8.5/10. Battery = 7/10

                                    Yes you can download songs movies and docs to sd card but not apps.
                                    Yes you can move songs and docs to sd card and also some little apps.
                                    Yeah it has got wifi and its super fast.

                                      I bought this beauty queen draped in orange on 14.06.2014. I've been using htc phones for 4 years and much impressed with the quality htc assures. They kept the trust in this phab also. It's amazing in all levels. Needless to say,it's an attention seeker. Even if you are ugly and owns this phab,people start looking at you and this beauty. Big hugs to htc..
