Hey guys.. been using few weeks & always run out of battery.. i would like to get a car charger.. any recommendation? I scare i will buy a china product that spoild the phone.. help!!

u can buy at the official htc store such as klcc. i got mine from maxis, pretty cool with blue glowing htc logo when plugged in.

i think all the car chargers are made in China now. Anyway, I heard once from a phone battery seller that charging in car is not advisable coz the voltage in the car battery will fluctuate very much so will spoilt the battery. He commented charging with computer USB port is the best as the electricity supply is stable. I think it makes sense coz the power supply in car may fluctuate when we rev the engine, although it might not be significant to other car appliance but may be significant to a phone.

Oh i see, thanks for your reply. Im new to smartphone,

Anyone know, got any software to customize the LED light for SMS, Miss call n other? Except the Handcent SMS, I had install, lazy to customize, too many function lol

I tot like htc officially sellin car charger for their device.. if there's risk.. why they still selling a CAR charger anyway? We all knew that but with official car charger will be better for it? There's something like surge protector to avoid high voltage go tru the device on front of the plug there, not?

Any1 face lagging and slow response when listen to FM radio?

The price difference between a original car charger and those generic type is usually less than MR50. For this small sum, why risk buying a cheap charger to charge a 2k phone ? I don't usually use the original htc car charger but use a very good dual USB outlet cigarette lighter ( it is about RM 60 more expensive than the cheap type ) and and he original USB cable. The whole setup cost me RM 130 . The original HTC car charger I plug it in the other USB port of the cigaretter lighter plug to charge my other htc HD2 when I am on the road.

You can assign different colours to emails, sms, gmail, miss call, tweeter etc. It is a free download from marketplace. The PRO paid version can assign more stuffs. Don't know how well it works on the Desire. No harm trying and please feedback your testing

Added on July 13, 2010, 12:29 pmYes you are right. My Nexus experience - The latest Froyo ver 2.2 is fantastic. I'd say it "blow away" and thrash the performance in browsing and download videos/you tubes, streaming compared to the earlier ver 2.1 and my other htc HD2 and iPhone 3GS. It is a highly recommended upgrade

i_bony: Firstly the QR Code for Google Open Spot returned a 404 - and I couldn't find it in the Android Market. Add to the fact that GPS is inaccurate indoors, and my office parking lot has no reception (so I can't get a Google Map downloaded) and that all works against the app.

Oh and plus I don't drive, heh.

is there any way to un-root it back? i mean if u do a hard reset, it will still run the ROM we installed rite? or we have to wait for the new official ROM to release then only can un-root? sorry for nooB question.

You can unroot it. With this you can install back the stock rom and recieve OTA updates on new rom updates. All these tricks you can refer at forum modaco http://android.modaco.com/category/430/htc...ire-modaco-com/

Unlike Windows mobile phones, you cannot remove the lock bootloader. On Windows mobiles, one can restore everything back to original and SIS will be unable to detect phone's rom has been tampered with.

With Android, when you bootup you will still see a lock logo with the clasp taken off for rooted phones and similarly for phones unrooted after rooting . So far no way to hide this

Kinda old story but still wanna share with newcomer..

oh man..
u mean to say even after unroot the phone, we can still know that the phone has been rooted b4? but i dont quite get it why it will void warranty by just rooting it? is it because of the access of controlling the hardware?

btw, do u know that amoled screen had facing shortage, and htc going use Super TFT LCD to replace it?

For Google Open Spot, your phone needs to be rooted and using market access/enabler as the Google Open Spot is currently only available to US, Canada and Holland..

guess it only works like the google street view or google navigation i guess. only in US.

meaning if we root our phone still cant use this app rite? furthermore we need other android user to use this app as well to get it working rite?

lol..currently im using non HTC ori car Charger..it is build to use for black berry but is compatible to use in our desire too..

Im a dealer..used be4 ori car charger n china car charger for my previous touch pro..but then it seems not much differnt till now my touch pro battery still can last me few days..


Those who wana buy Desire can ask me for best price^^

And for Desire accessories i got it too^^

Actually the warranty is voided when you unlock your bootloader, not the rooting process. If you can root without unlocking the bootloader (like the N1), the warranty wont be void when you unroot.

The good news is that HTC is rather cool with unlocked phones. There have been reports that HTC still honors the warranty even when the customers send in unlocked sets.
