Going to place my order for Desire soon. Just need to check 1 last time, should I get it now or wait for SLCD screen? Opinions please smile.gif

When will the new version of SLCD screen be brought into market? Malaysia will not get those stock instantly as usual.

Here is the comparison:

If they are going to use the .35/.36 kernel, then there'll be a huge difference in battery performance. I'm using a tweaked .35 RC6 and getting some marvellous battery life. 1 hour on standby and it only deteriorates 1%.
Yeah, Malaysia is unfortunately not on Google's priority list. You can get it through the paid Market if you have access, or you can head over to the Hero thread and look at page 3. LEVI posted the APK there.

Hi Guys,

After months of trying, I have finally found an "interim" GPS application.
I have downloaded and tested and it works! Nevertheless, it is still not as good as Garmin.

The GPS app is Sygic 10. It utilize the Satellite signal and not the data.

In the spirit of sharing, if anybody would like to try out this Sygic GPS app, kindly PM me, I will try to guide you to download and install it to your Desire. Just one condition, you also need to do so and share to as many Desire user as possible - this will create a real sharing community amongst our Desire users.

You may just google Sygic and read about the GPS app before deciding whether you want to use it. It is definitely better than the Google (Brut) and most importantly, it is in English.

Guys,

Quick question.

In the event, if we wanna format or change to a new sdcard with larger capacity, does that mean we have to partition the new sdcard again?

Will all existing data be lost? What about programs installed on A2SD partition?

Yes, paid market access has nothing to do with the phone OS version. It depends on whether the Telco you're on is cleared by Google to access paid content.

And those with rooted sets, bear this in mind. You might lose root privilege if you update through the OTA. That's if you get it to run it at all. OTAs have this knack of refusing to install if the phone has custom recovery or custom ROMs. If you want the OTA, you might need to revert to stock ROMs and stock recovery. And those with unrooted sets with plans to root, the OTA most likely will carry a newer HBOOT. So, previous rooting instructions may not be applicable anymore. You'll need to wait for the devs to come up with newer rooting methods (which wont take long anyways).

And to all Desire users, have fun with your official FroYo. I hope you guys will get by next week (if HTC doesnt screw up).

Now N1 users can get the Desire Froyo source and tweak the FM chip. laugh.gif

What do you guys think of the SLCD screen vs Amoled?

Seems like the video comparison shows amoled is better sad.gif

Well, give and take i guess. For me personally, i will opt for AMOLED unless of course there is a huge difference in battery life for the SLCD tongue.gif
