when HTC going to improve the battery performance? if turn off all wifi, bluetooth, & etc (limit the usage of the phones) whats the point buying android? we pay higher to enjoy all the features....hurm....

I've my wifi on during working hour, and 3G on the rest of the time - and synchronize GMail, Twitter, news, Exchange emails etc

Under heavy usage it can last me from morning full charged until night, light usage it can last me at least 2 days. So I think you don't have to turn off everything just to get one day of usage.

According to my bf, even with light usage, it can only last 1 day plus without charging. He on wifi and play some game (bubble or something, nothing big) and the battery will drop to yellow from morning full charge and mayb even red. When he installed some program to monitor the battery usage, he realise that the htc system use up alot of battery power.

Any comments?

If like that, bring usb cable wherever he goes lo

compare to me...not even a week bought the phone...nevertheless,im in love with my phone...


i've tried juice defender...so far battery quite ok...could last around 18 hours...

my usage same with samurai
morning on 3g to get all the synch working till night when i reach home then switch to wifi
now still left 30%
play a few rounds of robo defence as well

i reckon if i off the 3g data then it should last about 2 days

Gonna ship of Desire 4 Baby Desire HD XD

Haiz pokai 99 soon >"<

Anyways, my batt last 3 days actly with minor sms..

2 days with calls and sms.

Games, 3G and photo, 1 day 1/2

Just flashed AuraxTSense 7.6.1 (came from NexTSense 5.3) and latest radio 32.47.00.32_5.10.05.23 as well as battery mod with percentage.....
Restored apps with TitaniumBackup. All seems to be working.
Hope this ROM is stable and good battery life.

remember to wipe your battery stats
i was able to squeeze another half day of battery after wipe it

dont ask me why..but it does help

i find that the root and flash to AuraxTSense + latest radio + calibrate the battery will be the best option for you. My usage patent also similar to samurai and decapix, just that i dun have 3G but my wifi is almost constantly on during the day at home/office. My desire can last for 2 days, if heavy playing some games, battery life will shorten for half a day maybe. But i think the worst battery sucker is the GPS, using GPS software like Papago really drain the battery super fast, thus i keep a usb car charger handy.

Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting one from maxis.. I've made some researches but still have few questions, hope you guys can clarify :-) :
1)If go to maxis center (klcc to be exact), will I get the phone straight away or have to wait for few days?
2)I have read the contract on the faq page.. but still need clarification. If I pay 1499, will it cover up front payments? for how months?
3)how about the rm 10 rebate? if choose value 50 plan + 500mb data, will it be rm 108 or 98?
4)is maxis center open today ?(Hari Malaysia) or on weekend?
I will use the phone for call, sms, web, movies. I play games, but not really important for me. So i guess i'm gonna need large screen (no need to convert movie size) and perhaps fast processor (movie decoding?)

Is it worth for me to get desire as wildfire screen resolution is too low?

Thanks guys

1) Depends on stock, if they have stock then you can get directly
2) No upfront needed..
3) RM98
4) Not sure, you can always called maxis center....

Worth or not is depends on user...

thanks.

for the up front payment, i mean, does the 1499 cover advanced payments for several months? or will i pay 98 from the first month?

ah ya.. 1 more question, is it a good time to get it? or will it be a new offer soon? hehe freebies will be great

Cynox, my usage patent also same as yours, no 3G at all but home & office will use Wifi. Quite heavy gaming. Battery life lasted on average 2 days. GPS ar, no way we can survive without a car charger. Sometimes I really missed the normal size USB port when one can find the normal USB cable almost anywhere especially in office. When I forgot to take the mini USB cable & battery is getting low, I really have to limit on my Wifi or gaming.

My record battery life is well over 4 days when I purposely tested my Desire with minimal Wifi, fb & gaming. Juz calls & sms.

Added on September 16, 2010, 11:02 amCheck you warranty conditions with your AP set dealer. I think it should be more relaxed than SIS warranty.
You can check ur Software Information and try to get the exact build number from shipped-roms.
Once you find the RUU, you can revert back to original in case of claiming warranty.

Official RUU or custom ROMS are all up to you to decide. If you require more customization, then of coz go for root+custom roms.

No, RM1499 is for the phone only....
Not sure about price drop in future or freebies or promotion...
m not maxis stuff....

Some apps/games is not supported by Wildfire due to its resolution......

Thanks. that is what I thought. gaming is not my primary concern, but I'm afraid I couldn't install even a decent gps software on it. I'll go for desire guess I'm selling my dslr for this

I was also torn between wildfire and desire before this. All I can say is: Good choice mate , you won't regret it

the wildfire is an entry level.. the HTC Desire is a flagship.. we already know who wins and its a valuable investment indeed

Nowadays not many new updates for the Roms. Peaceful and quiet days. Tempted to go for the offiicial release for stability... 0.92 HBOOT downgrade, very leceh is it?
