picture taken with IS. so far not bad the pics although the pics are nearly monochrome. my first few tries with the IS which produced some blurry pics were because handshakes. I apologize for the misleading info.

i dun get it the issue also. my friends told me it's a major problem!

I think killing the tasks using task killers use up more of the battery than leaving the apps as they are. Since the tasks restart ever so often, killing them again and again will use up more energy.

At first i got advanced task killer, automatic task killer to free ram. Apps like locations, plurk, facebook, news and weather, firefox, market just come back periodically. Then after some time, IS started to lag. to move from one homescreen to another was VERY laggy. Battery life was around 6-8 hours from chatting and browsing apps. it lasted longer when i did not do anything with the phone. task killer on crazy mode, killing task frequency set at every phone screen turn off.

After that, I uninstalled the task killers and no problem so far. No lag, apps start fine, ui is as smooth as it can be. battery lasts one working shift. I bring my phone, around 90% charged in the morning around 8 to 9am until after around 6 to 7pm. Remainder battery around 10%, granted i was only taking pictures, browse web, chatting and reading pdfs.

Playing hexdefense while listening to music for around 20 waves takes around 5% of battery - not really sure, but it sure was not 10%. Another instance,i played fullmetal heroes, den continued with glassdestroyer, then zenonia then hexdefense with opera turned on (and assumed to be in the background). each time, i only pressed back when there's no Quit option. subsequent games had no problem loading. music was uninterrupted. i didnt note the battery consumption but from this i assume the OS is doing it's job without the need for task killers.

IS uses Li-Ion battery. If im not mistaken, anytime u can recharge and dont wait until empty only recharge, it will spoil the battery instead. Drain the batt once a month or so to calibrate the sensor.

i want it!!

cant help but notice, when i exit games that dun have an exit option, IS starts to lag.

the sense UI on the Desire S. It'll look like this on the IS once it's rolled out?

wah still waiting for case mate tough case.. bila mau datang ni..

Oh wait. Only the back part? Does it cover the metal surrounding the screen?

I got a problem with the HTC's Data Dashboard widget. After some time, the mobile data toggle on/off fails to works. I removed and replaced the widget but still didnt work. I had to reset the phone for it to work again. Is this a bug?

quite difficult for me also. just do like normal phone, put your thumb's nail on the opening at the bottom, den pry it open. there is some sort of a latch there.

I tot it was a design flaw, like every phone has it bcos i read in some review that mentions this problem. Didn't think it was an isolated problem. Will give SiS a call 2moro. Thanks for the info!

I also got the phone during the promo. Didnt know any of the other buyers so I can't check. This phone very meaningful to me, I gaduh with manager and play stubborn to get it @ discounted price. lol oops ~

Btw, how long did the replacement took?

I dun have other camera so.. I'll try and explain.

The HTC IS in portrait mode, look at the Search and Back keys, from all angles. Do you see like there is another layer of Back and Search key for landscape mode? If you can see it, it's probably a "defect" you might wanna check out.
