HTC recently unveiled the HTC Legend Android smartphone alongside the Desire and the HD Mini. What sets this particular handset apart from the rest is its aluminum unibody construction. The phone's body is carved out of a single block of aluminum (ala Macbooks) and its internals are slotted into it. This gives the phone a more solid feel while at the same time, giving it a very refined look.

The Legend is not just appealing on the outside, for it packs some mean muscle under the hood. A 600MHz processor (Qualcomm MSM7227) and the same integrated GPU that powers the Google Nexus One (AMD z430) powers the phone. The phone also has 384MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM. Its screen though (at 3.2"), is smaller compared to the Nexus One and the Legend's older brother, the Desire.

The Legend also sports the latest version of the Android operating system, Android v2.1 (or Eclair) coupled with its very own HTC Sense UI.

The HTC Legend is available for pre-order for those in the UK for GBP 399 and will be available on the 1st of April 2010. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long before it arrives on Malaysian shores (with a reasonable price tag). This is one sexy beast I'd love to own.

My hope is that it doesn't break the Rm2.4k barrier. Afterall there's the Desire or Incredible for super high-end users. Please lord have mercy on our bank accounts...

My expectation is that this phone will launch here at around RM1999 price range, replacing the Hero for that segment whereas the Hero's price will drop by around 200 bucks.

**I hope I'm right XD

I was initially looking to get the Desire but judging by its launch price in UK, I think it's gonna be around the HD2's current price (almost 3k). No way I can afford to pay that much...


Update: 1st review is up (added in 1st post) but it's a really short one. Not at all informative enough ><

I think we can actually get a Nexus One for around RM2300 from the forumers in Garage Sales.

Yea, the processor is a real downer but then again, not everyone needs a Snapdragon. Hehe.

True. If HTC were to price the Legend really close to the Desire, I think most people will just go straight for the Desire.

Don't think it'll be that high. HTC Hero launched here at RM2399. Should be lower than that since the launch price of the Legend is lower than the launch price of the Hero in UK/EU.

I would get a Nexus One too if its warranty was applicable here. Going to SG for a warranty claim is a pain.

it's not a coating. It's MADE of aluminium. A chunk of aluminium with insides carved out to fit the 'guts' of the Legend. Makes it even more awesome huh?

Makes me wonder whether it's recycled aluminium. Then they can market it as a green product. LOL

I hope they release the Legend first before any injunction is made. That way HTC can continue the battle, while we can fool around with the phone.

So far reviews have been good. Most giving it 9/10. =)

My only concern is the Wi-Fi reception. One of the reviews (tech radar i think) mentioned that the Wi-Fi reception was weaker on the Legend compared to other phones. None of the other reviews mentioned that though...
Hopefully the problem only affects that particular unit or is a problem that only affects pre-retail units used for testing/reviewing.

EDIT: Engadget has also mentioned the weaker Wi-Fi in their review. sad.gif

Weird some reviews say the battery lasts for 6 hours while others say it lasts 36 hours. Hope there's time to rectify the software before it hits the market.

I am planning to buy an Android phone, HTC preferably. Should I go for this Legend or is there something better on offering in the near future (1 - 3 months down the line)? I would prefer to go for something that is below RM2k mark. Or should I buy Hero as an entry 'Droid phone? blush.gif

Automationbites actually already listed this phone on their site. I'm thinking to purchase a unit from them but have anyone heard/bought any phones from them?

Are their prices generally okay and what about their after-sales service?

Good News, guys!
The Legend (along with the Smart and the HD Mini) will be launched in Malaysia next week. No word on pricing yet though, but do check out HTC Msia's Facebook page for more updates.

The red coloured HTC Legend is featured on their SEA site. But from what I read, this is only a special edition for SFR in France. Can anybody confirm if this will be sold here?

The FB page is a fan page and not official HTC Malaysia office, so I doubt the credibility of their information. I would believe SIS Malaysia or any of the retailers if they confirm officially.

Hmm they are selling 2150, and thats the price for an AP set? Hopefully the price goes down when it is officially launch...else I could buy a better spec Nexus one with about 100 ringgit more

I asked and was quoted RM2100 by them. Look for this guy dreamitcentre. Apparently he's selling it at RM1999 with a free bluetooth headset. Original SIS warranty. Just checked with him again last night - no stock as yet.

I noticed quite a few things which I like are not featured in the Legend, namely the Live Wallpaper and the new Google Maps. I'm pretty sure there is one way or another to get it but it would be nice if the are there right out of the box.

I tested it at Digital Mall, PJ too. Pictures don't do it justice. It looks REALLY good when you hold it in your hands. Hardware feels really solid and sturdy. No weird creaking noises like on Nokia phones. Interface was smooth for the most part but Leap was not as smooth as I expected. Screen was fantastic, AMOLED really is a terrific screen.

I didn't really had time to test the software. Can anyone confirm whether Android Market is present by default on SIS Legends?

AMOLED is fantastic, until you bring it under the sun that is. But other than that it beats any other types of screen out there in the market at the moment. Color is crisp and the viewing angle is excellent, not very good for people who wants more privacy with what they are doing on their mobile though.

The SIS set does come with Android Market, albeit it is an 'inferior' version of it. I don't see paid apps in it.

The only other complain I have at the moment is the lack of Live Wallpaper. I managed to get the APK of the latest Google Map (this is not found in the pre-installed Market though it's a free app) but haven't got time to install it yet. Hopefully it works because I do need the turn-by-turn navigation function.

No offense to anyone, but why's Live Wallpaper so important? It takes up resources and battery life and serves no real function. Most people don't even use it on desktops. I simply don't get the significance of moving wallpapers...

About navigation, try looking for the APK of Sygic for Android.

live wallpaper is disabled for Hero & Legend coz of performance drain. Both phones use two relatively slow processors (500+ & 600Mhz), so its good to have live wallpaper disabled. Even on hero, you will notice a lag when you enabled a few apps.

Im waiting for Desire TBH. (and will move to EVO if htc brings it here).

its a bit hard to use EVO here since it uses CDMA and 4g technology. i highly doubt our local telco companies would try and experiment on this sort of things. no sim card no phones. *sad*

None taken.

I certainly know how resource-hungry animated wallpaper is. But being new to Android, I'm curious of every possibility. After all, that's the exact reason why I switched from the iPhone. Also, I'm quite gila about eye candy lah...Hehe, otherwise would have opted for the Nexus One or Desire. But I'm attracted to the Legend's form factor and design. I know I might regret one day for choosing aesthetic over practicality.

I think I found Sygic somewhere but didn't know where to get the maps for Malaysia. Mind PM-ing me if you happen to know? biggrin.gif

Cheers mate!

I just got my Legend a few hours ago. Been playing with it since. Hehe. It's an awesome device.

I tried installing Sygic, but couldn't get it to work. Same goes for NDrive.

Hope Papago for 2.1 is gonna be out soon.

You are correct. I am hoping for a compatible version of Evo to arrive in our shore. Evo itself is exclusively made for Sprint users. I particularly like to 720p video recording and hdmi output. Could use them plenty.

I just got myself the Legend (RED colour) at PDA Expert in Midvalley as well. Still charging it now so will play with it later tonight.

My first time with Android so a lot to learn from the sifu's here. We should make this thread official. Any admin takers?

Nope. Does it support 2.1 already? AFAIK, it only supports up to 1.6. That's why some Hero users have not moved onto 2.1 (custom) ROM yet.

Tested htc legend past 1 hour ago... at senQ at bandar perda,penang... that was fast after official release the product reached here even milestone din reach here yet.. weird..
what gizmodo.com write in their review are true... the most solid phone. . I can feel the luxurious gadget while holding it..
the speed is very smooth... I just take about 30min played with it... but still not enuf feel...
Here sum pic of it.. red color.. sry my htc magic camera not good enuf... lol
user posted image

What I can say about its hardware is... flawless.
the body is hard, solid and pretty shiny
The camera was enuf to giv u good quality picture with flash and zoom even the zoom is not too far.. the vid taken.. also good.. can catch up the motion well... overall the camera and cam hardware is slightly improved from htc hero.. but the sound recorded by taking the vid is not good enuf.. same with other htc phone even nexus one... htc hardware weakness..
The amoled screen seem a lil brighter than my htc magic.. and the touch respond are far better.. the finger register really precise even at the end of the screen..
Sound quality is nicer.. an louder than my magic.. the plastic red at the back of the phone near the camera do absorb the speaker vibaration relly well.
Everything is good but just 1 thing I don't like most.... the optical circle sensor on the chin of the phone.. its really sensitive... while testing the phone( while doing finger gesture on the touch screen or while pressing the button on the bottom of the screen) I always accidentally touch the sensor and the unwanted motion happens.. really2 annoying at most time.. actually I dunno how to disable it .. maybe I need more time to test it all..
Not same as my magic... after locking the screen to active the screen back on even on the lock mode.. just press the menu button..but on htc legend it won't happen.. so I need to press the on/off button back on the top of the phone to active the screen.. the lil differences between new htc phone and old one...

About new sense... everything is wonderfull... because of highly responsive touch screen the pinch zooming homescreen to helicopter mode is smooth and fast..
the default media app are just same with older htc sense version...
Pinch zooming inside browser also fast and smoother than htc hero I've tested before.
After tested it I feel a lil crush on this phone.... mostly while holding it.... the ultimate luxurious feel I can obtain...

For new android fan who want to buy their 1st android phone.. this phone is highly recommended.. with price tag rm1999..

just tried this phone at the mines rm2388 and no free BT. A bit pricey. This phone got no call and end call button. The screen lock button must press power button on right top. To activate slide menu, must press the power button. I thought it's like iphone just press the middble button, it can't.

Was it just purely the design that attracted you? Coz with a RM50-200 more, you could get a Nexus One which has much better features. My colleague was thinking of getting the HTC legend, simply because he likes the design better. The red is quite eye-catching....i just didn't like the skateboard look to it, ie. the raised part at the bottom of the phone wink.gif

i have tested this phone before it released to the public. notice there are few issues with the phone, BATTERY problem. however, if you know how to tweak, it can last you at least 2 days usage:

1.Exchange push mail
2.Gmail
3.make couple phone calls average of 5 mins per call
4.SMS
5.turn off 3G
6.do not set friend stream widget at home screen ( it will drain your battery )

Was it just purely the design that attracted you? Coz with a RM50-200 more, you could get a Nexus One which has much better features. My colleague was thinking of getting the HTC legend, simply because he likes the design better. The red is quite eye-catching....i just didn't like the skateboard look to it, ie. the raised part at the bottom of the phone wink.gif

About the last sentence.. the rise part called chin...
Seriously before I bought my htc magic(also have a chin) I also din like it... but.. the chin role the biggest job on phone's hardware.. coz it protect the screen from certain pressure. Believe me u will like it for sure after using it for long time period.

How to claim warranty if u buy Nexus one? is there any warranty covered in Malaysia? this could be a very strong point adding to the factor of buying HTC legend.

The design was one of the big selling point, The build quality is amazing. The unibody aluminium feels so good in your hands. I wanted to wait for the HTC Desire (I wouldn't buy the Nexus One because no HTC Sense and also Google support issues).

I change my phone quite regularly. So for less than RM 2k for this Legend. it';s a no brainer. I am still looking to play with the HTC Desire. I will always look for local set with local SIS warranty for better resale value (again because I change my phone so often). Doesn't matter if I root my phone or not.

But the Legend is small enough to fit nicely on my hands and the red is really stunning. No regrets!

As far as I know, Google's Nexus One needs to be submitted online for fault reporting. Since there's no distributor or retail store.

However, in US, if you buy it under a contract with the mobile operator, you can send it back to the operator, I think.

But for Malaysia, I believe if the retail shop you buy the phone from can give you some sort of warranty, that would be the best you can get. Correct me if I'm wrong.

another word, there is no local warranty for nexus one wink.gif imagine you spend 2k to buy nexus one and few months down the road, the phone is malfunction. lol

basically htc legend and desire's differences are only hardware. of course its better to own a desire than legend if you are performance hunger. anyway, there are ppl selling desire in lelong for around 2k. perhaps you should take a look.

what do u mean by some ap provide 1 year for nexus? meaning if my nexus got problem within 1 year, they do provide us either a 1 to 1 swap or repair? any idea to what extend of warranty they offer? anyway, thanks for your offer. if i wanna get a legend, i can get much better deal direct from SIS.

Design...build quality...hmmm...that's subjective. Teflon coating on N1 is really not that bad.
HTC Sense vs plain vanilla launcher...prefer the latter, but that's again subjective. I like RAW performance.
Support...agreed. Can't have everything...the good stuff about the N1 more than compensates for it...again subjective. For support, Singapore is really not that far away.
Google support issues? I thought N1 integrates better with Google than other Android sets?

One really nice plus point i would really like to add for the N1 is the noise cancellation feature, which the Desire doesn't have. Again, its just a cheap version of the N1. But I do have grouses on my N1....useless trackball (although I like how it illuminates when there's phone activity), Bluetooth headset problems and small external speakers (I was previously a W950 user).

I guess I'll recommend the Legend to my colleague if he favors the same qualities of the phone as you. Thanks! smile.gif

Oh well , u got urself a nexus one and i'm pretty sure u want to convince urself that u have the best. Good job on that.

Nah...not saying that the N1 is the best...just saying that it is not that bad, when others are saying that it IS bad. And I wouldn't have recommended a friend to buy the Legend given the considerations that winniechen brought up, if i thought the N1 was the only phone everyone on this planet should use.

i'm getting bored with my iphone 3gs.

so basically my questions are:
1. how's the performance of legend compared to iphone 3gs?. What i meant was, i don't play games so i don't think i need a snapdragon processor(am i right?) BUT i'm concerned about the performance of legend's browser, email, facebook, twitter, music etc. I hate slow performance phone smile.gif

2. Does legend support push gmail?

3. is the screen better than iphone? how about the size, is it big enough?

4. How's the interface of android 2.1 compared to iphone OS? it's better right? tongue.gif

i'm new to android phones and here's a few basic questions about htc legend:

1. i understand that android os only install apps in the phone memory/ram. wont this cause htc legend to slow down if we install many apps in the ram, especially legend only have 300+mb of ram?

2. i also understand that to install apps in microsd card, we need to root the android phone, but this will void the warranty. question: if in the future when htc releases fixes/firmware updates, can a rooted legend still install the firmware updates?

3. how much is the available ram after booting up legend?

Couldn't agree more. I'd even rather pay slightly higher just because I do not wish to put up to some seller's unpleasant attitude.

I'll attempt to answer you since I also switched over from 3GS.

1. The Legend performance is comparable to iPhone. The Legend, as you may already know, having a 600Mhz processor. The 3GS' processor has similar speed.

2. Yes it does.

3. Personally, yes. The availability of widgets for the Android platform beats the iPhone in this department, though of course, you may achieve the same on a jailbroken iPhone.

Yea, Wifi signal strength is weaker than other phones.

Does anyone have problems with the ringtone volume? My phone's ringtone volume goes soft after a few seconds of ringing..

Seems to be a bug cuz it doesnt happen all the time. Happens probably like once every 10-15 calls. I have the 'Quiet ring on pickup' option disabled btw.

Celcom is having a promotion fair at Suria KLCC. HTC Legend with 1 year contract cost RM1318, with 12 months contract of RM50 commitment + RM148 unlimited data plan. Sign in on 16 April to get Legend at RM1168 for the same package. There's another package RM250 commitment but I forgot how much the price to pay for Legend in that package already.

Yes there is such a feature but I have it disabled. Anyway, it's fairly obvious if you listen to the ringtone that the 'softening' is different from the 'quiet on pickup' feature.

I also asked an executive in Maxis this afternoon. He told me Maxis has no plan yet to have Android phone packages, because 'they already have other competitive phones'.

Does anyone mind testing their Legend out a bit? I really need some help here...

Call yourself about 5 times and each time, let the ringer ring a while. Try to listen if the volume goes lower on its own...

Would really appreciate it if someone could do that for me.. Thanks.

Celcom is having a promotion fair at Suria KLCC. HTC Legend with 1 year contract cost RM1318, with 12 months contract of RM50 commitment + RM148 unlimited data plan. Sign in on 16 April to get Legend at RM1168 for the same package. There's another package RM250 commitment but I forgot how much the price to pay for Legend in that package already.

i think Digi's one is cheaper,
u only need to pay RM999 for the phone and RM68 for unlimited internet usage,
not RM148+...

Yeah. Getting the Digi Smartplan with HTC Legend for RM999 is a good deal. Looks like it's time for me to upgrade from my SE P1i to the HTC Legend.

I suspect the RM999 phone price is dependent on your monthly usage. If I'm not mistaken they had a similar promotion with smartphones/berries late last year. So my guess is you have to pay the highest bracket of phone price first and then they rebate you depending on your usage.

quote
Customers who sign up for DG Smart Plan can also save up to 50% on our range of subsidised smartphones, comprising BlackBerry Curve 8520, HTC Legend or BlackBerry Bold 9700 for as low as RM549, RM999 and RM1,299 respectively.

same as berry previous promotion, i predict to get Legend@RM999, you will have to take DG150 plan for 24 months contract inclusive of internet unlimited@RM68/month, so lowest commitment per month will be RM228/month for 24 months but of course this is not like iPhone plan where you have to prepay the whole 24 months charges upfront, you will be bill every month.

Celcom's 150 plan is RM988 for HTC legend. Celcom 3g coverage is also better.

Does anyone find the Legend's battery life is a lil disappointing? I practically have to charge it daily. I've turned my widget update frequency to every 6 hours (from hourly previously). No significant improvement sad.gif

And has anyone got any turn-by-turn GPS software on their Legend yet?

I have had similar problem. I've had "Quiet on Pickup" option checked by the way.

Ringtone sometimes quiet downs when it is untouched or the volume doesn't go down when pickup.

Hmm. I strongly believe this is a software bug. There are a few other people with the same problem over at XDA forums. Let's hope this gets fixed soon cuz it's really annoying -.-
Perhaps the 'quiet on pickup' is faulty...

u can try out the papago m6 as instructed in the forum 'Papago GPS Software for Android' if u can read chinese (http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1215073&st=340&p=33128407&#entry33128407) . some people tried and said its successful but i cant read chinese and am still waiting patiently for Papago to release an english version of it.

I have pressured Papago myself by sending them emails and etc but still no reply coz i just emailed them a while ago.
Probably u wanna pressure them urself too. Its very frustrating how come they can release iPhone Papago in englsih but Android's one they only release it in Chinese...argh....

i guess androids users would have to voice out if not they will just not do anything about it? haih...

The RM 68 plan is applicable for the BB and unlimited internet. If you're using BB you'll subscribe to BIS .. other phones get unlimited internet. The quota is 3gb if not mistaken and internet will be slower after that.

The save smart is when your total phone bill is more than RM 100 you save 25% of the RM 68 and if your total bill is more than RM 200 than the RM68 is waived

nop, the 25% is for the internet plan only which is rm68
so it should be

rm68 - 25% = RM51
RM51 + the normal phone call usage RM50 = RM101

some answers i got from digi for new using porting over to digi for the smartplan with LEGEND!

DIGI : For Switch, you are only allowed to contract the 12 months plan. So the price is RM1399+RM300 (advance payment)+Any Postpaid plan. You only pay upfront for the device +RM300 advance payment. There is no EPP for this. The advance payment will be used to knock off your coming months' bills dependent on usage e.g. if within two month you're billed RM300, it will be knocked off using your advance payment.

i think its worth it to get...

since the internet is 68... u can msn instead of sms... assuming that your other part is using phone for internet too... not sure if we can install skype... that would be a killer...

1399 + 300 is the amount to pay? is still cheaper than market price of 1999, whats the point of having a smart phone and not using it for other than calls smile.gif

if i can get the phone deal w/o subscribing additional postpaid plan then i'm fine with it

but now it seems like we have to subscribe the dg smart plan along with minimum DG30 postpaid plan for the phone bundle

my usage won't probably hit rm30 a month biggrin.gif
so i'm not sure it's worth or not to subscribe like that

Now adays every where also WiFi available, not necessary to use 3G internet. My house also wifi covered. Just use smart phone to check company emails, sync calender, check whether biggrin.gif

not really la, if you think about it. basically... outside checking emails etc... no wifi place... besides, heard that this phone wifi is a bit cacat.

here new calculation...

if buy phone AP or market, and use digi smartplan... then really not worth. smile.gif basically you save around 500 bucks using the plan... so its basically like buying a new phone + free 3G.

i think its worth it to get...

since the internet is 68... u can msn instead of sms... assuming that your other part is using phone for internet too... not sure if we can install skype... that would be a killer...

1399 + 300 is the amount to pay? is still cheaper than market price of 1999, whats the point of having a smart phone and not using it for other than calls smile.gif

no skype but u can use fring

No. All you need is the RM68. Voice and other stuff is Pay as You use.

The twitter is wrong. I apologize on their behalf. The twitter guys will issue a statement shortly.

DG smart plan, u pay RM68 for internet unlimited.

for phone call/sms/mms/video call, u pay as u use.

for example, for the enitre month u just made 3 smses and 1 minute call,
so u pay RM68+RM0.30+RM 0.15= RM68.45

no point..unless u are intered on DG50 or DG150..

assuming if u can take DG30..the calls is 0.20 per min, vs smartplan pay per use at 0.15 per min.

anyhow i dun think u are allowed to have smartplan + postpaid plan to run together

Let's say u used total bill of RM144.

so digi will charge you RM68 x 25% = RM 17

RM 144 - RM 17 = RM 127

if u used RM 225

so, RM 225 -RM68 = RM 157

u can take DG30 + RM58 for internet unlimited, but then, the RM58 IU cannot be used for tethering.

if u wanna use for tethering, u have to get DG smart 68

example 1

68 + phonecalls/sms/mms(150) = RM68 + RM150 = RM218

so RM218 is above the RM200, which u will get FREE internet Unlimited

So the the amount u need to pay is RM218 - RM68 = RM150



example 2

68 + phonecalls/sms/mms(50) = RM68 + RM50 = RM115

so RM115 falls under the 25% discount

so the amount that u need to pay is (RM68-25%) + 50 = 51 + 50 = RM101


example 3

68 + phonecalls/sms/mms(20) = RM68 + RM20 = RM88

you have to pay RM88


correct me if i m wrong

Yep. For MNP is 12 months coz of MCMC ruling.

Just picked up my Digi Smart Plan HTC Legend from Digi SS2. Signed up for 2 years to get the HTC Legend for RM999 + RM500 Advance Payment. The phone just arrived in the service center in the afternoon. Waited 45 minutes to get served in the busy service center.

First impression of the phone, the Legend is just slightly larger but thinner than my current Sony Ericsson P1i. The Legend is charging, so it's time to backup my contacts from my P1i to transfer over to the Legend.

I already tested with my Legend. I always get vibration when I receive SMS. I tried both normal and vibrate-only mode.

I think this is another software bug cuz u're not the only one with this problem. A few people on XDA forums have this problem as well. Perhaps you should wait and see if the next update fixes the problem. If it still doesnt vibrate after update, then maybe u'll hv to RMA. Anyway, don't worry about it cuz we get 2 years warranty with the Legend =D

Just picked up my Digi Smart Plan HTC Legend from Digi SS2. Signed up for 2 years to get the HTC Legend for RM999 + RM500 Advance Payment. The phone just arrived in the service center in the afternoon. Waited 45 minutes to get served in the busy service center.

First impression of the phone, the Legend is just slightly larger but thinner than my current Sony Ericsson P1i. The Legend is charging, so it's time to backup my contacts from my P1i to transfer over to the Legend.

i email m3asia which is the distributor of papago in malaysia and this is what they say :

"Thank you for your interested. We are sorry, the current Papago! X5 Mobile version that you are selling is only compatible with Windows Mobiles and Android 1.5. However, there will be an updates available which can be installed into mobile/PDA that running Android 2.1 OS. We will announce in on our website when it available."

Dont know how true is that, there will be an update soon? =s However, I replied them saying i thought for Android 2.1 the compatible software is Papago M6 because there is already a taiwanese version for it but its all in chinese and i want an english version but they never replied. I even email Papago Taiwan but they never replied also. Their customer service really a bit lousy la...

Anyway Ndrive and all is based on their own maps while Papago is like Garmin can use the Malfreemaps which is community based and its better because it gets updated faster. You can use google maps what? The only downside of google map is you need to use data constantly to load map and its not so precise as mallfreemaps map tiles, and we doesnt have voice navigation if u dun root ur phone (only u.s. androids have it). And which we cant root our phone till today because Paul at Modaco is still internet-less until he comes back from holiday.

And offline gps applications are always way cooler haha...

I've got offline GPS on my iPhone too. And if you know me personally, you'll know how lost I can be without a GPS sad.gif

I think we should all spam Papago asking them to release the version for Legend ASAP!

But did you try other apps?

Hmmm, I'm thinking we should get the Legend thread more organize some day. With information and helpful tips available easily for all Legend users. Oh well, maybe when I have time soon and when I'm familiar enough with the Android!

Or someone could start doing it now! tongue.gif

Agree with you about the Market application. Plenty of free apps and games to explore. Today, I downloaded Compass, Google Sky Map, Opera Mini 5 beta and Sudoku.

I wonder if we will ever get Paid Apps in the Market in the future.

How do u intend to organize the legend thread. I am not very well verse with lowyat forum hehehe...

Anyway how much is you Legend-ers internal memory storage? LOL....mine left 74.32mb only....that also i save save dun dare install more applications into my phone. the phone internal memory like very small =(

so u mean for other telco users, we can only get the sim and phone after porting over to digi? i can accept receiving the phone late, but not sim, since the other telco's sim card might be disabled and yet u dont have digi's sim. then u got no hp at all during the porting period.

payment is after we get the phone & sim or at the moment u apply for porting?

1. for those who got their legend from the digi smartplan, how many years of warranty is given for the phone? i checked with some digi fella at pc fair, and he said only 1 year.

2. ok, i'm currently using a resistive touch screen phone (i type using my finger nails). when i tested the legend, i just can't get used to typing on the compact qwerty keyboard...any tips on how u guys type? do you use the pad of your finger or the tip of your finger?

3. is it just me or is the legend not as smooth as many has claimed? tongue.gif

Hi,

i need some advise from you guys.

i going to get a HTC Legend soon but i cant decide whether to get it with DiGi or Singapore. I dont want to join any plan, so if i get from DiGi it will be RM1999 outright, but if i ask my friend help me to buy in SG, it cost RM1700. What you guys think? it is worth to pay RM300 extra say for local warranty only?

just checked with the digi d'chat and they said that it is 1 year warranty, just like all other phones they offer.

maybe someone can check the imei of their phone with SIS? if it is valid, then maybe can get another year of warranty from SIS?

just checked with the digi d'chat and they said that it is 1 year warranty, just like all other phones they offer.

maybe someone can check the imei of their phone with SIS? if it is valid, then maybe can get another year of warranty from SIS?

1. for those who got their legend from the digi smartplan, how many years of warranty is given for the phone? i checked with some digi fella at pc fair, and he said only 1 year.

2. ok, i'm currently using a resistive touch screen phone (i type using my finger nails). when i tested the legend, i just can't get used to typing on the compact qwerty keyboard...any tips on how u guys type? do you use the pad of your finger or the tip of your finger?

3. is it just me or is the legend not as smooth as many has claimed? tongue.gif

usually thinking it should be original set...but duno why digi will said it only 1 year warranty~~~

Hi,

i need some advise from you guys.

i going to get a HTC Legend soon but i cant decide whether to get it with DiGi or Singapore. I dont want to join any plan, so if i get from DiGi it will be RM1999 outright, but if i ask my friend help me to buy in SG, it cost RM1700. What you guys think? it is worth to pay RM300 extra say for local warranty only?

Nope, no additional steps. I copied the Sync file from the included MicroSD and installed it. Already synced my contacts a couple of times.

guys who owns a Legend. Try this keyboard mod. It takes away the annoying auto add word to dictionary. I changed mine and works flawlessly. Download the low-res one. Removes chinese keyboard for those who are not using it as well as it adds additional mods. No rooting required. It installs as an additional keyboard.

you can add voice search (same in N1)

ok, after playing around with the phone. here's my feedback.

1) phone kinda hot after using a while (maybe due to 3G), after charging is hot too.

2) the phone phone is hard to type using 1 hand... have to use 2 hands.

3) battery low very fast.... :/

Just came back from the digi roadshow, since the phone is subsidized by them, they only offered 1 year warranty from SIS
if want to extend another year from Mobile Sure, i'll have to pay additional RM27

If you get from PDAexpert, you pay RM1999 with 2+1 years warranty (2 years from SIS + 1 year from Mobile Sure)

ok, to simplified what he just said.

2 yrs warranty from SiS (so on the second yr, you have to send the phone to SiS, where as you just need to send to digi within the first yr)

this is the official warranty. for his PDAexpert, that additional 1 yr is from PDAexpert aka Mobile Sure

Then on your keyboard tap on the button next to the space (you should see an icon of a mic)
The dialog will appear to ask you to "Speak Now"
i feel comfortable with the keyboard now (with predictive text turned off) but I would like the speech-to-text feature. Any option to add just that feature alone?

Yes you can add the Voice Search apk and then get an app like handcent sms. That'd allow you to text using speech but I find it laggy and wasn't very accurate.

I think if you don't write in Chinese it's better if you use the modded keyboard =)

Unfortunately Voice Search didn't work on my Legend. Have you got any luck? I've the 'Force Close' warning. Mind to help?

Not very keen on a separate app though and ahhh yeah I don't write Chinese haha tongue.gif

Will try the modded keyboard r47z posted maybe some time this week. Have you tried that yet?

I'm having a hard time choosing between legend or desire?

what made you guys choose legend?....I'm worried that the 600Mhz processor & 3.2 in screen are not gonna be good enough.

but i really like legend's design. Is it as good as the pictures?

It's fast and smooth. The screen is great though if you want to enjoy the screen to the fullest get a glossy screen protector rather than those anti-fingerprint matte ones.

Wifi is a bit weak and battery life is a bit weaker than I'm used to.

One thing I haven't try on the Legend is playing games though. Probably is the lack of quality games like what found on the iPhone. Or maybe because the battery life is so bad that I never thought of playing games on it.

I haven't found any good GPS software too. Installed Google Maps with nav but you might as well want to turn the voice guidance off because you can NEVER understand what she says.

Many ppl are asking about whether FB games can be played on their mobile...are there any smartphones in he market that allow for smooth Fnb games?....Legend is just fine for me....just hoping for paid apps to be available and also rooting.... biggrin.gif


Added on April 20, 2010, 5:00 pmI think ive just made a discovery on HTC Legends issue over the fluctuating Wifi signals some ppl have been complaining about. From my tests and observations i found out that the wifi antenna is on the top rubberised part of the phone where the camera lens is. Subsequently, I tried sliding my hand up towards that area and the signal drops 1 or more bars. When held at the bottom its never goes below one. This is at least true for my phone, maybe others can try it out and testify my claim and we could possibly solve this query.

Cheers.

I was just about to b*tch about this (again! tongue.gif). I'm charging it EVERYDAY since I got it.

I've got News, Weather and Friend Stream widgets running on the background. I made a couple of phone calls and sent/received like 10-20 SMSes a day. The phone is fully charged in the morning and by evening, it's near dead. I'm charging it as I'm writing this now.

i bought my legend yesterday and it's my first Android phone. So here's a mini review from an iphone fanboy tongue.gif

design
Legend feels solid & well built, it's really nice to hold although kinda heavy for its size. The aluminum body is awesome, it makes the phone look expensive tongue.gif
the trackball works like a charm and it's really responsive.

Android 2.1
At first i didn't like it cause it felt a bit too complicated compared to the iphone OS. BUT then after playing with it for a day, i'm starting to get the hang of it. The phone can get a bit slow when there's a lot of applications running at the same time but that can be solved easily by using free app such as Task Killer

Performance
advantages
-the phone is fast, there's no need to buy HTC Desire if you just gonna use it for email,facebook,texting,surfing etc.
-Browsing the web is really smooth and some websites load even faster than iphone 3gs. My advice is turn off the flash support if you don't need it.
-email support is fantastic, gmail messages/appointments are instantly pushed to your phone.
-the android facebook app is much faster then its iphone counterpart although it lacks the chat support
-the phone HSDPA connection is SUPER fast, much2 better than the iphone
-GPS lock takes less than 10s

disadvantage
-wifi is a bit weak but it doesn't affect my browsing speed
-iphone OS > Android 2.1 in my opinion smile.gif

battery
Battery life SUCKS..if you used the phone heavily i think you can only get Max 8-9hrs/fullcharge

overall
8.5/10

Hey guys.

Whoever is having the 'ring volume problem' posted a while back please try this solution. It worked for me =)

Go to Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> Select 'WCDMA only'

*Credit to Partenov of XDA-Developers Forum

If 3G reception is the catalyst for this bug, that would explain why not all Legend users are affected by it.


Question: Does anyone know if using this option will affect signal reception?

Hmm, areas without 3g will not get any reception at all if set to WCDMA only?

This is probably the "smartest" phone I ever used seconded by SE P1i, battery life indeed is a bit weak as a daily charge is needed but I think this applies to most smart phones now. Just have to disable the 3g/wifi whenever not in use if possible, kill the apps like 'Camera'.

Before consulting the forums, I actually thought I was experiencing a hardware malfunction/defect. I went back to the seller in Digital Mall Sect 14 and tried to show him my 'ring volume' problem. After countless times of calling my phone with the seller's phone, the problem still did not occur. Really pissed me off cuz I drove all the way there for nothing.

Now everything kinda makes sense. Naturally, a place like Digital Mall would have pretty good 3G reception(unlike my house), and hence my phone (which was on 'WCDMA & GSM auto' mode) would be receiving 3G signals and therefore causing it to NOT have the ring volume problem.

AFAIK, this is cause all 3G capable phones are programmed to first look for 3G reception first and use GSM only in the absence of the former.

I guess I'll have to wait til a new update rolls out since I'm not always in places that has a 3G signals...

I was just about to b*tch about this (again! tongue.gif). I'm charging it EVERYDAY since I got it.

I've got News, Weather and Friend Stream widgets running on the background. I made a couple of phone calls and sent/received like 10-20 SMSes a day. The phone is fully charged in the morning and by evening, it's near dead. I'm charging it as I'm writing this now.

Yes, a lot of people are complaining about battery life even on xda-developers site. But a higher capacity battery may come out soon, I hope.

My battery runs out towards the end of the day as well.....with some internet usage and 5-6 calls, same amount of smses....didnt expect much in terms of battery life considering its a smartphone...

BTW when im connected to mobile internet its states either H or G on the status bar?.....is either one of these 3G?....i have never gotten an actual 3G wording stated on my status bar...I..f im not on 3G can someone tell me how to set it up?

go to settings, change your mobile internet to use 2G, only change to 3G when u need to download stuff using mobile internet, if not 2G is more then enough to read emails, surf net.

Change to 2G will REALLY SAVE alot of juice.

Take desire. At the end of the day, either Desire or Legend, you're definitely trading up thumbup.gif

Got mine in Penang, hehe. So far so good. Took the 24months contract. Only thing is 500 payup front on top of the 999. The 500 will be used to offset the bill which is not too bad afterall.

Other than that not much complaint. Guess Legend is selling good with this plan.

Could it be the area and at that particular time 3G services wasnt available? Sometime same area will have 3G sometimes not.. puzzling isnt it? Malaysia internet line is very unstable at times.

I think you might have killed the Clock app that is suppose to run in the background. If you have set an alarm, you should be able to see a clock icon in the status bar.

I went to the DiGi branch at SS2 yesterday evening (about 5pm) and collected the Legend this morning (before 11am) after I got the clearance for the switch. Very fast and efficient.

Clearance for the switch? hmm.gif
Do u mean u just switch from other telco?

U subscribed to 12mths or 24mths contract?
I'm curious, bcoz some ppl said switch from other telco only eligible for 12mths bcoz of MCMC ruling.
But that day I asked at Mid Valley DIGI service counter, they said no such thing. hmm.gif

i'm switching from maxis as well and took up 24 months. i repeatedly ask the dealer whether it is possible for 24 months and he says no issues.

since msiathot managed to get the phone almost immediately, i'm thinking whether it is possible to transfer the order from my dealer to digi retail store in ss2....anyone has any idea whether this is possible? i only paid the adv payment of rm500+rm30 for my supp line

I still think depend on usage for battery. If reception is weak then will consume more battery too. WIfi as such also will eat up ur battery. Go techradar.com to get some review. As for me, for this price Legend is a good buy. For RM999 what else can we ask for more for a PDA fone?

Cheers,

I am new to android and just get the legend from digi. i need a help on app installation. i do the .apk file installation through htcsync on pc. for example, the file size is 10 mb, the htcsync copy the file to phone for installation. so where can I find the installer that copied to phone as double up the storage usage on internal memory. hope some one can help me in this. or there are other methods to do the file installation?

No phone number of DiGi SS2 and sadly the number is not available either at DiGi's website. I know it closes at 5.30 as I was there at about 5.

It is jam packed with people collecting the near obsolete iPhone wink.gif.

I reckon DiGi SS2 still has stocks of Legend. RM999 for a Legend is a steal and I believe it will change the whole landscape of contract phone deals in Malaysia like our counterparts in Singapore, the US and elsewhere have enjoyed for years.

An affordable smartphone and an equally attractive data package is a win-win proposition between the telco and the subscriber. Afterall, what's the point of having a smartphone without a data plan.

so did you switch over to DiGi from other Telcos?
does the progress easy and smooth?

it sounds weird to have 1 year warranty only, says like if I sign for 24 months contract, and my phone mati on 13th months, means if I dont use any smartphone anymore, I'll have to pay RM68 for nothing? tongue.gif hmm.gif sweat.gif

bradas and sistas, there's a digi thread for legend over here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1392073

warranty is 2 years, since this phone comes from SIS. there's a SIS sticker on the box, and in the phone as well. hopefully a mod can move all the digi discussions to the digi-legend thread wink.gif

coming back to legend, and being a first time android user, all i can say is that i'm loving it tongue.gif. since there isn't any thread listing recommended free android apps for all android phones in general, here is something for noobies like myself to start with:

ASTRO file manager (some prefer EStrongs file explorer) - file manager
APNdroid - let's you toggle your 3G on/off
Astrid - todo/reminder app
AK Notepad - something like a sticky note
Barcode scanner - scan barcodes...for fun
Batterylife - monitor your battery life (with % left)
ColorDict - offline dictionary
Compass - a digital compass...for fun
Divi Clock - a small android clock widget (even comes in 1x1 size)
Opera Mini beta 5 - alternative browser to the stock android browser (fast but does not support multitouch)
racing thunder lite - a racing game using your phone's accelerometer to show off to your friends tongue.gif
silent boot - if you are using HTC, this can turn off the loud startup sound
stats - monitor your data usage (3G, sms, etc.)
sticky note - a sticky note widget
uninstaller - lists all the apps you have downloaded and choose which to uninstall
seePU - system monitoring utility (i find this app draining my battery though)

biggrin.gif

edit:
wow, it seems that all my posts are invisible to you guys. ok, happy paying more money to get more years of warranty..when it is something you already have.

1. Disable 'haptic feedback' in settings. Should be under 'Sounds and Display'.
2. Try resetting your router. See if that helps. Happens to me once in a while but it's not the phone, it's the router cuz it happens to laptops too once in a while.
3. No way of doing this as far as I know.
4. This option is also in the 'Sounds and Display' menu. Change the screen timeout to the desired time.

Yes there is such a feature but I have it disabled. Anyway, it's fairly obvious if you listen to the ringtone that the 'softening' is different from the 'quiet on pickup' feature.

there's a bug with the ringing tone. There's a workaround on it, you have to set your mobile network to WCDMA only. You can do this by going to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile network > Network Mode. This may use bit more batteries but it solves the problem. I think HTC is aware of this and on going solution is on its way.

bradas and sistas, there's a digi thread for legend over here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1392073

warranty is 2 years, since this phone comes from SIS. there's a SIS sticker on the box, and in the phone as well. hopefully a mod can move all the digi discussions to the digi-legend thread  wink.gif

coming back to legend, and being a first time android user, all i can say is that i'm loving it  tongue.gif. since there isn't any thread listing recommended free android apps for all android phones in general, here is something for noobies like myself to start with:

ASTRO file manager (some prefer EStrongs file explorer) - file manager
APNdroid - let's you toggle your 3G on/off
Astrid - todo/reminder app
AK Notepad - something like a sticky note
Barcode scanner - scan barcodes...for fun
Batterylife - monitor your battery life (with % left)
ColorDict - offline dictionary
Compass - a digital compass...for fun
Divi Clock - a small android clock widget (even comes in 1x1 size)
Opera Mini beta 5 - alternative browser to the stock android browser (fast but does not support multitouch)
racing thunder lite - a racing game using your phone's accelerometer to show off to your friends tongue.gif
silent boot - if you are using HTC, this can turn off the loud startup sound
stats - monitor your data usage (3G, sms, etc.)
sticky note - a sticky note widget
uninstaller - lists all the apps you have downloaded and choose which to uninstall
seePU - system monitoring utility (i find this app draining my battery though)

biggrin.gif

edit:
wow, it seems that all my posts are invisible to you guys. ok, happy paying more money to get more years of warranty..when it is something you already have.

like seriously, did u even read the manual?

btw it can do more than just setting the ringtone. it can trim it as to your liking. This is page 170 of the manual.

Setting a song as ringtone
You can select a song from the Music application’s Library and set it as your phone’s ringtone or a ringtone for a certain contact.

1. Press HOME, tap , and then tap Music.
2. Tap at the bottom-left corner of the screen to go to the Library.
3. In the Library, select the song that you want to use as ringtone and then play it back.
4. On the Playback screen, press MENU and then tap Set as ringtone.
5. In the Set as ringtone options menu, tap Phone ringtone or Contact ringtone or Trim the ringtone.

Hi, I just received my new HTC Legend with signing DIGI smart plan. It is very weird that HTC Legend presents incoming call as "unknown" instead of phone number or contact name from my phonebook. Once I clicked the "unknown" it will go through "USSD Code running" after that will show me "unknown application". Need advice, thanks.

Use Handcent SMS to set the the ringtone. Received and notification can be different tone. Zedge is another cool mp3 ringtone app which can be used to change the ringtones.

Do you turn off your Mobile Network at Wireless control already??
If not then, unclick the box for Mobile Network because it'll drain up your credit without you realize about it.. nod.gif

Yes, you can't... yet. I think this require the device to be rooted first. As of now, Legend is not root-able yet.

On a side now, if we can get someone to organize (or probably open a new one) the thread with useful information, i.e. links, tips, etc. on the first post it'll be great. Any volunteer?

Don't want unbrand d, and similar brand to Novacell,

As for me, i will just get a spare charger. These days the portable charger is pretty handy. Much better than getting spare bat. Troublesome to change too.

Digi plan with HTC Legend is the cheapest. No hidden cost. Value for money package. Only thing is to pay upfront of RM500 for the plan, which is that bad as the 500 is to offset our bills.
