Well, I'll tell you what I did. My laptop has an SD card reader so I transfered everything from my Desire's SD memory into my laptop, removed it and put in the new SD card. I then transfered everything from the laptop to the new card and placed it in the desire =)
Oh, I have a question for anyone who can answer. How do you all sync your iTunes playlist with your HTC Desire? Frankly the thought of having to organize everything into playlists again is killing me.

I'm using doubletwist to sync itunes music/playlist to the Desire rclxms.gif you'll need to connect the desire as usb drive in order for it to work

I would like to get advice on whether we can use our Desire as a Wifi modem (using the Maxis 3G internet as the Internet Gateway)?  Meaning I could connect my laptop to internet via Wifi from the phone.

I have tried today and the Internet Sharing option is not "clickable" - it was shaded grey and I have tried many combination but was unsuccessful. Previously using Nokia N79, I installed an app Joikuspot for this function.

Please help

you can also get wifi tether when you root the phone brows.gif

Hmm, anyone tried the custom roms? Was thinking of trying one but i'm spoilt by the choices biggrin.gif should i try the custom froyo or should wait till properly ironed out the bugs?

if not mistaken most custom froyo still can't use the video function yet

wat is the benefit of updating the firmware?
I try to update the software but the systems say my phone has the latest update
*
this is what i found

Changes reported:
- Updates bootloader to 0.80.
- New radio image.
- New youtube app with HQ option (1.6.20E).
- Fixed htc's weather widget (integrated into clock&weather widget) not knowing where you are (1.15.xxx just said the name of the country in some countries).
- SMS issue (from non-numerical senders) is resolved.
- fixed random contact showing when receiving operator SMS.
- fixes the voicemail bug for the French carrier SFR (short voicemail number used to call 911/emergency).
- Messages app now shows a count on the number of messages in the SMS inbox.
- calendar/contacts bug - unable to store contact's birthday - has been fixed.
- Long click on the menu button when in home screen now doesnt pop up the keyboard, like it uselessly did before.
- SMS reader does not show the little smiley androids any more - just the mere types.
- Exchange Company Address Book is now properly working. Was unable to use before the update.
- They have disabled the snooze function on the Optical trackpad for calendar events. This means that it is now possible to have the phone in your pocket without accidentally snoozing the alarms.

My phone is currently on 1.15.405.4

No, not yet. I'm still enjoying Modaco ROM since i have access to online kitchen. I feel like it's faster and better than original stock rom and i havent faced any problems since i use this modaco rom till now.

not sure if you need to install htcsync to get it working as it installs the necessary drivers for the phone as well .. connect the phone to the pc and make sure you choose internet sharing. Image 1 Image 2 .. image too big to post here ..

i've fixed the problem musics and photos not showing...no wonder la, got .nomedia file on the root folder.

btw, i quote this from my other post la;

damn should i root or just use the 2.2 Froyo when its available? i know some stuffs on what rooted device can do but if possible i wanted to stay original as possible, though i love hacking stuffs~~

do i miss many stuffs on the paid market?

and yeah btw thanks for suggestions of the apps.

EDIT : after doing some reading, no harm if i root my phone right, cuz after that i can continue using the current ROM without installing custom ROM? i can still update normally am i? or no?

Sorry for the off topic a bit, but the above questions are somewhat related i think?
*
Yes you can still run the current ROM with ROOT. Root just gives you access to the phone system. I was running Root with stock ROM for quite some time and only recently updated to custom rom.

Since you're rooted you can always install Froyo now and test it out while it's officially available biggrin.gif

root ur phone = nothing will happen to ur data
flash ur phone with custom rom require u to reset to factory settings + wipe data. This is where all ur apps and data will be gone. This is why I prefer to root my phone and manually customize it myself. Unfortunately my skill not good enough... sad.gif  sad.gif
*
if you're changing between the same version ie eclair to eclair or froyo to froyo you can get away with just wiping all the cache .. did it a few times when changing between different custom roms
