The idea is - a mobile is a temporary device for you to store new appointments, tasks or contacts as you meet customers.
When you're back in office, it is vital to sync it back into your PC. Not only as a backup but you will be using the PC in office most of the time, right?
Without a sync, how are you going to email (using ur PC) to a new contact or refer to an updated shedule from the PC itself?

It is dangerous to store everything in a mobile or use it as the main device for storing important items without frequent syncing to a PC.
That's why you are complaining about lost calendars entries.

Added on October 9, 2010, 9:46 amSorry, I do not sync with FB as I sync with Google contacts. I think I did come across people saying cant sync with FB in XDA.
Syncing with FB has been a bug with some other ROMs too (I read in XDA not from my experience)

Yes, it comes with A2SD+ but somehow mine needs to be reactivated when I flash MIUI.
I think you are familiar with ADB commands right? You need to use the a2sd command to reactivate it.

The same guide (re-activate a2sd+) is in the xda forum which I posted above...dunno which specific page though.

So far no known bugs. I havent actually thorougly tested the rom.
But hey...FM is really working!!! something i missed in OD

No need downgrade. Juz use the Unrevoked 3 to root.
Mine also 0.93 SLCD set.

no need flash radio if u r already on 2.2.
in fact i am still using my stock 2.2 OTA radio.

you seemed annoyed by my replies so much so that you can even assumed that i am a fanboy of google.
it is very dissapointing 2b accused of something that you're absolutely not. well, why do you have to make such conclusion (and a 100% wrong one too) in the first place also puzzled me. all i wanted to share is my experience with Microsoft Outlook for years and syncing using Symbian, WM and to Android devices. you did not mention ur data lost was caused by pc crashed. Based on ur postings, i assumed you have lost data due to sync problem not a pc crash and that the void in ur calendars r caused by less frequent sync available in Android.

for your info, i had a hard time syncing my Outlook with my desire once I opt for vanilla customs ROMs.
I even have to install 3rd party software to sync my Outlook to Google than from Goolge to my desire
I had a hard time finding those software too. Now, I have to sync from my notebook to Google than back to my phone.
so, why do i need 2b a google fanboy when i am having all these hassle with Google???
Google Android does not even have native direct sync support to Outlook, another negative factor of using Android phones.
If you are on non-sense custom ROMs, you can forget about using HTC Sync. It wouldn't work.
You will be wasting much time finding SYNC software and will be complaining more about Android which I did.
Only one or too 3rd party sync software are good enough to perform perfect sync to google.

Look, I just offered my simple advice: PC/Notebook to store the master copy of ur calendars/contacts/tasks while mobile as a temp device and sync as frequent as possible.

If my advice is of no use to you, then so sorry for wrong advice, & you can juz ignore it.
And if my tone sounds annoying to you, I offer my apology too.

Added on October 10, 2010, 12:04 pmAre you in customs ROMs? Some customs ROMs do not have flash player.
Just download from the market.
Original 2.2 HTC OTA has built in flash support already.

Added on October 10, 2010, 12:12 pmYupe, I really missed HTC dialer since i opt for vanilla or MIUI roms.
To be able to lookup names or phone numbers at once is really something i missed
and btw, MIUI camera & videos has really loud default sound which you cant even switch off.
only way is to delete the sound files from the system

Added on October 10, 2010, 12:19 pmNo problem. yupe, definitely iphonish, even some icons are similar as iphone. even folder widgets r iphone feature.
anyway i really don't mind they port all good features from everywhere.
so far, I am using the original MIUI keyboard as i need chinese support which seems fine to me.

EpsilonStar, do you find it hard to answer calls by swiping downwards?
It's really quite hard to swipe down. Always need to swipe a few times to answer a call.
Sense also swipe down but definitely easier to swipe.

This post has been edited by dracozz: Oct 10 2010, 12:19 PM

answering calls is OK after i clean my desire. maybe dirty sticky patches on my lower desire screen.

ya, there is no app drawer which i would prefer but they compensate it with great customization interface. i like the way they allow us to drag icons into small preview screens at the bottom is a great feature.

Added on October 11, 2010, 9:09 amthanks for the link...I m looking for 8GB Class 10. went to lowyat couple of weeks back and to my surprise it's out of stock

I used AmonRa a couple of months back. Then, the version was 1.7.0.1 R5 for SLCD since mine is SLCD.
This special SLCD image was attached in one of the posts in XDA AmonRa thread (Desire Android Development)

So, is ur Desire SLCD or AMOLED? If urs is SLCD, take note of this SLCD version.
Perhaps now there is a newer AmonRa version which supports both SLCD and AMOLED.
Do update us on the version you will use.

Added on October 13, 2010, 10:11 amYes, you can.
Just use the custom recovery option in unrevoked
make sure you load AmonRa before you plug in ur Desire

This post has been edited by dracozz: Oct 13 2010, 10:12 AM

yes, it's also needed for android system functionalities. specific ROM works best (or as suggested) on specific radio versions.

not necessary if your current Desire is already at version 2.2.
Some ROMs suggest the same radio that comes with 2.2 OTA (32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2)
Anyway, do read the suggested radio when you flash a ROM.

As for me, I've never switch the radio version as I found it to be good.

Then i guess just download the latest version from XDA Desire Android Development.
Only those with SLCD like myself has to be extra careful when choosing recovery images.

Added on October 13, 2010, 10:49 ammost distinct feature of both:

AmenRa supports unlimited size of sd-ext partitioning. Clockwork only 512MB (and it is sufficient for most users)
Clockwork supports ROM Manager which is handy when comes to flashing ROMs.

Added on October 13, 2010, 10:57 amYupe, read about this sometime ago. Initially was shocked by the discovery but then it has never actually bothered me. Most games still function as per normal unless those complex games which need both touches to cross axis

This post has been edited by dracozz: Oct 13 2010, 10:57 AM

No, I am using ClockWorkMod now.
I used AmonRa initially to create a larger ext partition

try search XDA forum in Desire Android Development for AmonRa recovery
Download from there. As mentioned in my previous post, if the version is still 1.7.0.1 R5 and ur Desire is SLCD, i would suggest u use the SLCD AmonRa image which is available in one of the posts in AmonRa thread.

As suggested, use no more than 1GB ext partition.

Hi guys, my desire desparately needs a battery calibration now. Fully charged & it'll still immediately drop to 95% when I disconnect from charger.
Follow this GUIDE step-by-step, problem still persists.

I did read before in XDA on how to successfully calibrate battery but can't search the thread anymore.

Greatly appreciate if someone who has successfully calibrated the battery to post a link here. Thanks!

whole nite (about 8 hrs) using the ac adapter.
wipe battery stats immediately after that but not successful still.
i followed the villianrom guide exactly but still 95% when disconnect from charger.

hv u calibrated before, a link will be greatly appreciated

---

Added on October 15, 2010, 10:42 amI charged with the phone powered off (for ~ 8 hours), as adviced. disconnect from ac charger this morning. power on, then i saw the dreaded 95%.
actually i m having this issue a week back. since it has now dropped to 95%, i guess following the villianrom guide will solve it but not in my case.

i read before that Wipe battery stats should be immediately after a full charge right?

This post has been edited by dracozz: Oct 15 2010, 10:42 AM

thanks hazril & tyja for your links and steps.
i've juz found a GUIDE in XDA Desire General threads. all the while i was searching Desire Android Development.

i compared both ur recommendations, it's more a less the same.

and i don't even i to wipe stats, my battery is now 100%...it's been a while since i last see 100%

Is there still a lag with Folder widget in this version?
I am on MIUI 9.30 for quite sometime now & laggy folder widget might be my only grouse.
I will skip this 10.15 and wait for the next release.

fyi, this ROM is even faster with cache2sd disabled but at the expense of internal memory.

Added on October 21, 2010, 9:34 amu r very correct, MIUI has to improve on the dialer functionalities
