use the usb cable provided... once plug in, choose the option as disk then the computer will recognize your hand phone(SD CARD) like a pendrive..
then put it anywhere you want... safely removed it
Use ASTRO to search for that file... that's all...
Astro is used to locate your files and etc as Android does not come with a "windows explorer" app
*
Or if you are lazy to use cable u can pair it via Bluetooth then transfer the file.

guys, too bad for iphone fans (including me). when i was still thingking of buying desire or iphone, now i have decided who is the winner. I just read the preview about iphone 4 (it's not iphone 4g btw). honestly, it's not what i was expected for new generation of iphone. i gotta say that iphone 4 sucks for this time (better get desire).

negatives of iphone 4:
- same size of screen (3.5" only)
- still uses TFT screen (when all the new smarthphones have used amoled or even super amoled)
- secondary camera can only be used between iphone over wifi (cant use 3g) -- it's totally useless then
- uses microSIM (smaller size of SIM Card that we are using now) -- it makes us difficult if we want to use another phone using the same SIM Card
- no stereo for video recording
- no radio

i think that's all for now about the negatives of new iphone 4. we will know more when it has been released and reviewed. no offense, but i guess desire is still much better than iphone 4.

boring icons on the phone is still there. now with folders and customization wallpaper . wow.

Haha ya Samsung Galaxy S is also hot here but no way can compete with Desire. thumbup.gif

i think in paper the Galaxy S is supreme and also outdoors (super amoled) but Samsung's interface always look too "jeng" for me.

Best use of Desire is to be able to access internet in a jam. Nice!


Added on June 15, 2010, 6:14 pmBy the way, we use Power button a lot to wake the phone, will it spoil?
*
it shouldn't as it should have designed to be able to stand over-presses. Then again it depends how hard you're pressing the button!

haha.. thats a optimized usage of homescreen i guess.. nice one.. people say that widgets drain up battery but i guess its not that significant isnt it comparing to live wallpapers and high brightness setup..

fake chrome, fake firefox.. good enough to trick your friends.. haha xD..
p/s : i did not attach the full pic in to default display to not annoy anyone else.. im afraid that this thread would be messed up later.. perhaps opening a screenshot thread would be great for us to share screenies and discuss on what is the best looking setup and widgets  rclxms.gif

does the fake chrome cause your sense ui to crash everytime u press the home button from the browser? it happened to me so i uninstalled fake chrome.

yeah.. for normal usage the desire is not that bad unless u have itchy fingers and play games most of the time... lol.. i charged last nite and today was so busy and not playing, just about 30 sms + 20min of call still have 70% when i got home.. usually at class i play game 4-6 hours usage already drained in the amount of 40-50%.. lol
not sure but im not using it anymore.. that screenshot was a week ago.. but i did notice my sense did crashed, i posed that issue last week.. but that time i suspected it was the task killer fault.. yeah.. maybe thats the culpit.. just a guess.. cant confirm it as i resetted my phone already.. thanks to my backup pro.. decently restored all back (i selected sms, contacts and android settings (htc widgets) only for backup n restore)
*
yea normal usage is ok, actually it depends how you often you sync the data as well as turning off all data when u sleep. u dun need them when u sleep. it is the cause of the fake chrome bro. i checked the comments left in the market that it seems that everyone is getting it so i removed then the sense ui did not crash on me anymore

thanks pluginbaby.

btw
do any of u guys facing this?

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/droid-i...et-hiding-plac/
*
yup this is part of how Android stores the data. However, for us Desire users will not be affected even tho it still stores the data cause the data stored is in our SD card and can be deleted via a file manager app. For the Incredible users they have a "build-in" 2gb storage data which "acts" as a SD Card which they do not have access (unless rooted).

Hi all

My Desire multi touch function as gone after I install swype function. I am not sure whether I mistakenly turn off the multi touch function or the swype keyboard function which cause this problem.

Did any one of you having the same issue....Please help.

Thank you

tried rebooting the phone yet?

rebooting helps but does not solve the issue as it'll still come back. This is Swype's issue and not the phone's. This is why Swype is still in the beta phase.

im not so sure la bro.. hmm.. maybe some others could assist u on that.. it should be working fine.. last case scenario is hard resetting but b4 that, maybe there are ways to fix that.. just wait, maybe other ppl have better ideas

from your browser (stock). Tap More > Settings > Enable Location and enabled the check-box. If it still does not work then, reset your browser. If it still does not work clear your cache/history form data/password/location access and restart your phone.

If all the above fails. call HTC/SIS.
