Downloaded the whatsapp.apk from page45 (i think) while que-ing at LHDN PJ office. Installation went fine and registration was smooth (register ur number, they send an sms, use sms code to activate), no need to send email bla bla. Happy user of whatsapp now biggrin.gif

Never receive any call from them. Apparently I'm not appreciated lol. Maybe because I tweeted them to give us firm answer on the ETA of Froyo OTA in SEA instead of the unclear and half-baked answers that they always give on their FB page.
Must have touched some raw nerves in there and kena B-list liao lol laugh.gif

Hi all, new HTC Desire user reporting in !!  rclxm9.gif
Got it from Maxis last night at 1Utama, the sales rep guy said it's only the 2nd unit they sold ... I was like wtf shocking.gif
No one buy meh? He said most ppl buy iPhone and Blackberry there ... doh.gif
BTW, I got the SLCD version ... no AMOLED word on the box and can notice slight back light bleeding in black screen. sad.gif
*

I think the Maxis in 1U just got stocked with Desire. Checked with them 2wks ago and they didn't have any stock, told me only TTDI ctr had it.

Wow... we both got Pana GF1 and HTC Desire!  laugh.gif Sharing the same taste on gadgets

Anyone got recommendations where to get the phone? Original and I dont want to get through Maxis as their data plan is not worth it compared to digi.
*

No choice u gotta go AP or stick with Maxis for a year, I was a loyal digi customer for 5yrs but when I heard that digi was not gonna carry Desire, I was very disappointed. The 1 month block was also part of the reason i switched to Maxis. 2 years warranty + a free HTC car charger was quite a good deal I reckon.
But I still do miss Digi. Maxis is a tad overpriced in my opinion and I am looking forward to move back to digi after my 1 year is up with Maxis. Hope that they will have a more competitive smartphone plan when the time comes biggrin.gif
Do the calculation and compare which one can save you more $ over the course of 1 year (AP+Digi or Maxis Rm1599 but 1yr contract).

Please be careful with movie players you download. There's a trojan app going around in the form of a movie player app that auto-sends sms to those expensive numbers. They didn't mention the name of the app but just be careful of what you download.

I'm finding OpenDesire rom too "stock" to my liking... any good froyo custom ROMs you guys stick to?
*

You gotta test them to see which suits you best la. Reading reviews or opinions can only get you so far. A good place to start looking for ROMs would be the legendary XDA forums. Take a look at Modaco's forums too.

guys why my 3G/HSDPA gone? i called maxis and they told me the line was good.

is it possible that its my phone problem? when i turn into GSM only, i can get the EDGE connection, then gone back to WCDMA, the 3G appears for awhile, then gone after a few minutes~~

its the line or my phone or the ROM?
*

In areas where the maxis coverage is not very strong, I've noticed that the line fluctuates between Edge and HSDPA alot. Maxis' problem, nothing much you can do about it I guess. I'll usually just switch to Edge and sacrifice speed in those instances.

Is anyone using an Al-Rajhi VISA card? Because I just registered for Google Checkout and my payment has been rejected, even though I've used my card for Steam with no problems.

can't help you on that bro, I'm on citi air asia card and everything works fine. Did you select Malaysia as the country? e you tried registering again? Make sure that the card number/address/cvv are entered correctly.

Titanium Backup doing the restore part is a big headache especially since I have  214 item to restore. Cant this be automated?

One more question about Titanium Backup. Example if we were to backup an older version of app included in the ROM, e.g. People / Gallery / Photo / Youtube player. Wouldnt I be restoring an old one to this new ROM?
*

pay lor tongue.gif I did. US$3.99 is reasonable for such a good backup app.
The developer is a Malaysian i think. Wonder if he gives any discounts to fellow Boleh-landers?

did any1 know when will maxis launch Froyo 2.2 update for the local SIS set?

feeling scary to root my device sad.gif.

No one knows, but prob not soon and HTC Malaysia is always evading the question. Go ahead and root, it's really simple!


Tweetdeck FCs on me when registering a foursquare account. Anyone encountering the same problem.

Btw, for Tweetdeck user, do you experience FC whenever you try to login Foursquare ?

yep, I asked the same question quite a few pages back. I thought I was the only one. I'm speculating that brut maps might be intefering with something... Still at work now, no time to uninstall squrl+brut map to test.

2 days of not logging on and and 14 pages created. Mostly talking about rooting lagi, Awesome!
There are many talks of different ROMs but no one seem to mention Cyanogen. Looks like a real solid build, will try that out later once I get my homescreens settled (taking forever...)

After page80++, this has become more like a "Root your Desire" help page with all the sifus gladly chipping in lol.
Cyanogen looks good. Any drawbacks? I heard that it doesn't come with the google apps.

Just update to CyanogenMod RC2.. few min ago!
It does come with google apps as add-on
So far its been  thumbup.gif
Gonna see how RC2 performs next

p/s: it comes w vanilla UI and no FM Radio

Aiyai~ I need Sense UI and FM Radio! I was looking forward to the boot animation but I guess no Cyano-mod for me sad.gif
I'll prob go with the ROM that I'm most comfortable with, Leedroid 1.8c

Don't you agree that's what makes HTC Desire more interesting?

Of course we can discuss about "What free app you get from market", "where to get best wallpaper", "what's the best price now" - but the thread will die after some time due to lack of active discussion

It's really the extent customization that we can do and the number of possibility that make the discussion more interesting smile.gif
*

Agree of course! We are not the iphone thread and we don't have to discuss wallpapers/price/free apps lol tongue.gif
I'm amazed at the sudden surge of interest in rooting and all the help that is being offered. I was expecting "RTFM" or "use the search button" after a while but damn, this is one helpful community! Keep it up guys(& gals) and happy rooting to all newbs!
