Any errors or failures in GeckoApp in logcat?

The HTC Desire might not have either a gyroscope or an acceleromator so it's expected that the values for each event would be blank.

Regarding to http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-3077.php, it seems that Desire has both accelerometer and gyroscope (compass).

No, it doesn't. It seems that's not working on any FroYo device both on Nightly or stock browser.
