That's the only way.. unless you get an app...
You are still very new to Android..
Go read up how android process the apps..
don't have to close the app completely. Android will do that for you..
Using Task Killers also will harm your phone
icon_rolleyes.gif
That's weird, i'm not having any problems also, why you guys can't update..
did you sync your FB acc?
Not really true..
So far only M'sia's Desire got Google logo.. Rest of the world don't have..
so what you say is not actually true...
Got mine from UK, dont have google logo, even in Australia the Telstra set also don't have google logo..  smile.gif

unless u r from HTC, u dont have to say mine deduction is not true and yours is true.

it's all up to HTC (or maybe with Google's influence) how they market their units.

different region (or even country-specific) has different naming/packaging/customization/branding/pricing/etc. etc.

Yes, they will give you the converter together.
But it is very small piece, so be careful with that~~will loss it quite easily~~

Why not consider this way to get the Desire 'without' the contract
Buy the phone at 1499 and sign up for the 12-month contract.
Then just pay for the first month(50+58), cancel the contract and pay a penalty of rm500. In total it's just about rm2100.  icon_rolleyes.gif

there is an exclusivity period between SiS/HTC and MAxis for 1 month period.

we would see Desire from all HTC authorised resellers from 24th June 2010 onwards. <-- no contract = no MAXIS tie-up.

i didn't meant to offend you.
I didn't say your statement is not exactly true.. somewhat 50-50...
I have also thought about your statement b4 as HTC rebrand it...
Cheers mate

@Gurdian, that's my 1st thought too!

i might want to wait for the accessories (casing, screen protector, etc.) before buying the unit.

NOTE to people who want to get Screen protector..
Don't get anti-glare ones because i'm using one and forumers in Aus also gave their feedback..
because the Desire's screen is AMOLED, some screen protectors will make the screen discolor a bit or obvious pixels.
I got mine from boxwave anti-glare type cost almost 13USD, quite disappointed because the screen protector was so clear, it made the pixels very obvious..
Quite hard to explain without photos..
This goes the same to Invisible shields from zagg.com if people who are interested. smile.gif

The screen feels pretty hardy tho, hard plastic, not glass i think


btw guys, i've created a support thread so that technical discussions about Desire won't be drowned out by other discussions in this thread:

There's a lot of accessories in ebay which are actually not bad..
Got myself a genuine HTC Leather pouch from hong kong, it's the real thing since UK is also selling it so i'm happy with it...
bought a back hard case as well, waiting for it to arrive, will post some pics when it arrives. smile.gif

Those who are waiting for Cradle/Docks, i don't suggest getting from HK as quite a lot are "chapalang"
I'm waiting for an official one

Turn off everything as in wifi, mobile network(2g,3g), etc then you can last a day.. some users in overseas reported to last even 2 days. thumbup.gif

Found the converter; It is very small. And they didn't mention it. Gotta be careful not to lose it...
