Smooth as silk...never lag at all! 3D games also smooth! Most importantly, the phone is juz so handsome!
VGA video is also smooth! I love my Legend ever more.

1 problem though, I cant seem to find a good GPS software for android

i intend to install a clean ROM with juz only sense UI and A2SD.
but before rooting i m really worried about breaking SIS warranty.
so, is Nandroid backup able to completely restore our legend to original (without SIS knowing it).

Kyl3, what is ur original software (rom) version??

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.

Hi chinook,

I have already emailed SIS Malaysia regarding the non-working 'Quiet ring on pickup' feature.
SIS Malaysia apparently has recorded a few complaints and compiling a report to HTC.

XDA workaround by setting WCDMA only also did not work on my Legend.
Rooted and flashed my Legend with 1.31.405.4 based ROMS also did not solve the problem.

I read that whether you turn off 'Quiet ring on pickup' or not, these features are still active:
1) Flipping your Legend over when you received a call turns off the ring completely
2) Move your phone will muffle the ringtone.

Sometimes when I was walking, the ring already being muffled before I manage to pickup.

I do not know whether it only affects Legend or other Android 2.1 based models too.
Haiiiizz, there goes my crisp and clear MP3 ringtone!!!


Added on May 23, 2010, 12:55 amSome hints to all those who intend to root their phone:

1) DO NOT use a Windows XP (64-bit) PC when rooting your phone.
2) When creating a GoldCard, follow this guide instead. It is much clearer.

For me, i go anywhere also no 3G connection.. low yatt, midvalley.. i've set the APN to digi internet. Anyone can tell me why i dun get 3G connection? Or there's more setting to do??

Exactly what happened to me. Call Digi and make sure you call them again if your 3G wasnt activated after waiting 30minutes.
I waited for 1 whole day for a broken promise that my 3G will be activated in few hours time.
With another call to Digi, my 3G was activated in minutes.

My Legend is from PDAExpert (recent PCFair) and surprisingly it already has a screen protector. very nicely fit on my Legend and oil (from face) can be removed even by using my finger or thumb.
So, maybe u can ask from PDAExpert. ofcoz get their promise to xchange b4 u buy from them.

me too, another satisfied user of Legend! Handsome Hardware with Smooth Software!
those who worried bout battery life, I can only tell you that i've never bothered by it at all.
initially though (first one or two days), the battery life is really short.

It's possible to get Live Wallpaper on the Legend right now without installing a custom ROM.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689168

As I still haven't got time to explore how to root the Legend yet, this is untested personally. For those that have rooted and going to give this a shot, please post your success here wink.gif

Cheers.

so legend battery performance is bad?
how long legend can last?

My Legend battery life is consider very good!
1 whole day use, plus few calls, plus some games especially Robo Defense, it will drop about 30%
Even my Wifi is always set to On. Couple of memory resident programs like ChangeVolume, ReminderService.

So, I have never complaint about battery life.

How long to charge the battery to full shocking.gif
*
i m always using USB to charge and it takes maybe 4 hours to fully charge
i din really time the charging. i normally take off the cable before i go to sleep.
before sleep i cant help it but play a few rounds of Robo Defense

as i write now, my battery level is at 60% (Wifi 26%, Cell Standby 21%, Display 24%, Phone idle 16%, Voice calls 13%
i fully charged & disconnect the usb 2nites back at around 11pm
so, i've never ever worried bout battery life

i do, however, disable my data connection all times.

Legend has this ring tone muffle problem and there is no 'cure' at the moment, not even latest ROMs like Froyo or 2.03 based ROMs will kill this bug. You have to live with it or use the WCDMA only workaround which is unfeasable!

Legend user base lower than desire and galaxy s I guess tongue.gif
And availability of the custom roms are pretty limited

Ya, i m pretty 'free' when using Legend. Not like my previous WM6 based HTC phones.
Flashing ROMs was my hobby then...hahah.

The only Froyo based ROM is usable but i notice a lag and also some games can't display properly.
Live wallpapers are cool but battery life will suffer.

I m back to 2.03 based ROMs which at least solve the MP4 video out-of-sync issue.

Hi guys, hope someone can answer this:

Is SIS Malaysia the sole distributor of HTC Legend?
Are they any other companies authorise to distribute HTC products?

My fren juz noticed that his Legend has only 1 year warranty and without SIS stickers.

Hey ppl there is an update for legend though its only update for 2.1. The firmware is 2.05.707.1. Dunno whether its released earlier a not but just to let u ppl know. Its for better wifi and more importantly to prevent loss of ringtone volume when incoming call. biggrin.gif

Yup, i got it too.
I am going to update and see whether there are SMS or loss of Wifi bugs (as reported in Europe)

I just upgrade to the new firmware. Here's my comment on it.

1. Better battery life. Like super awesome. 5 hours and still 100% which is damn good. Before the upgrade, im getting 2-3% drop, sometime more. I'll comment more on this after a full day use.

2. Pinch zoom in googlemaps. Finally?

3. Sms app is now shit. You're not automatically shown the latest sms when viewing it. You have to scroll all the way down. Im not sure about it  when theres new sms, but i hope it doesnt do that. Itll be an ass if i hve to.scroll all the way down just to view an sms.

4. Super annoying beeping sound whenever i shut down my phone. The same beeping when you remove the cable on diskdrive mode.

I was hoping for some bugfix, but looks like it's not. And yeah, no froyo.
*
For me, overall no significant change. Most puzzling, the ringer bug is still there!
However no SMS bug or beeping sound when shutting down.

Previously i said that there wasn't any SMS bug after patch. I was wrong. The bug is in the SMS conversation thread where the latest sms will be at the bottom. It's very annoying!!!

Ringer bug still there eventhough I didn't touch the phone it will muffle!!!

damnit, my Legend's power button has sunk so deep that now it's become impossible to turn on the damn phone vmad.gif

is there any solution to this problem?..How long will it take if i send the phone for repair?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I guess you have to repair the button.

Mine is at the left side of the power button...starting to sink in
I wonder how long can the Home, Menu, Back buttons can last also
4 months of usage, it's starting to lose the 'reflex' already

Although got 2 yrs warranty, it is still 'leceh' to go HTC to fix it

I think Legend has the poorest buttons design.
Home/Menu/Back/Search buttons do not slightly protrude. Thus, you have to press hard to make it 'click' and work.
By doing so, how can the buttons last long??? Somemore, Home/Menu sharing same button

My at least 5-year old HTC3300 buttons still function as normal!

i guess just claim the warranty,

it never happen that extreme to me, sometimes before it sort of stuck there, but never to the point of me not able to turn it on, just that its tactile feeling is gone.. i think the cuthole on the aluminum is too small, need to use a lot then it becomes more "longgar" hehe

mine already no problem now

@feiraron, u go SIS to repair the button? How long they take?
