can anyone with stock non-rooted desire with latest updates check the radio version number?

DS price from Maxis quite ridiculous compared to IS price by DiGi... On 12 month contract both also RM1499 but on 24 month IS much cheaper...
But on telco point... Maxis got larger coverage compare to DiGi... (Or i am wrong...) |

Well, finally had time to play with the phone.
Build is rigid and solid, Rubberized back on the top and bottom section is quite nice on the touch. the small lil bend on the bottom of the phone ( as compared to the Hero/Legend ) is much subtle and doesn't seem so intrusive this time around. Open up the rubberized battery cover is not a feat but putting it back could be tricky at times, other wise everything is fine. 1ghz Snap dragon seems to be doing it's work well, everything seems to be very smooth. in the apps page, while scrolling, app icons are seen to move from page to page in rows of 4 instead of random rows. Guess that's one ui updates of Gingerbread. The rest are pretty good. So far I have no complains. I've used both Desire and SGS and I would say it's comparable in terms of performances with a slightly smaller size.

Maxis postpaid is not worth it. Especially if you use the internet a lot. Bill shocks will cause heart attacks. Go for the Incredible S instead.

You can get it without contract on May 1. The exclusivity for HTC phones is getting mind-numbingly boring.

QUOTE(Joseph Hahn @ Apr 18 2011, 05:50 PM) So your shop is Maxis Exclusive Partner? So you have to sell it at the RRP also? If i buy from you, if anything wrong, where can i go in Melaka? Or do i have to send it back to you? u can call toll free, then person in charge will door to door pickup and u also can send back to maxis for warranty purpose Added on April 18, 2011, 5:04 pm QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ Apr 18 2011, 05:54 PM) Woo you still remember the last time i asked you yaya Can pay by installment right? installment cant... coz the interest very higher... we only accept normal credit card payment  This post has been edited by gtrowa2003: Apr 18 2011, 05:04 PM |

Understand Desire S has a signed bootloader like Incredible S. Read XDA forum, looks like they had not find a way to root the device with S-Off.

All future HTC device will have sign bootloader that a fact... but by the time sensation will be available... Maybe the bootloader will be able to crack already... Since i believe many developer want to have the sensation...Hope & pray... but on the other hand... without root, this device maybe good already... |

Lol ok.
Anyway, just reading another review. http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_s-review-590.php QUOTE HTC Desire has similar hardware as the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc and Neo, but itās the only one that can handle 720p videos within the browser. It seems HTC has done better optimizations than Sony Ericsson. |

If you just wan the fone without plan better get from gtrowa2003.
Pay by cash is cheaper + you get some freebies and you are guarantee to get the phone.. Best thing is if you stay in KL/Selangor area he comes to your doorstep... WOhooo.. |

QUOTE(Joseph Hahn @ Apr 19 2011, 09:07 PM) Can the owners shared if you are facing the below issue with Wifi as per gsm arena review?"Wi-Fi signal degrades when you cover the top part of the back panel"\ The Desire S has some Wi-Fi issues though. You will lose nearly 80% of your signal strength if you hold the phone around the camera lens. We did experience this ādeath gripā issue only in landscape mode with a hand over the camera lens plating, but this is not much of an excuse. So you need to be careful if your Wi-Fi signal is weak and you are using the Desire S in landscape mode.

Hope & pray... but on the other hand... without root, this device maybe good already... Normally with signed / encrypted, it is hard to break 100%. Let's hope HTC will re-think like SE.

Guys, i bought mine HTC Desire S 4 days ago, in a shopping complex in my place ( Bukit Rahman Putra. Sungai Buloh) Suprisingly only this guys has it. he said he took 4 units, and 3 of them sold, only left 1 last unit which i've bought it. 1 yr local warranty, so i believe its AP Set. Free gift given, is the casing(normal RM10 casing), GPS Car holder, and he owe the rubber casing which still dont have in the market now....
....I came from SE K800i, and i know that its a big 'jump' to Android platform. and i dunno anything about 2.3 Ginger Bread or High5 bread...lolz.. well, internet is there to learn anything that we want, interesting phone indeed.. and its not a phone, its a super computer + phone i must say !!!

If you want something for ur baby to wear, you can give me a buzz as i have ready Case-Mate cases for this phone Hehe i was surprised that i got so many goodies. Video reviews helped me a lot. But even without that i think it's still very easy to use. Maybe i'm just a geek.  |

Yes, there are two types of Screen Protector, One Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector and also Clear Screen ProtectorAdded on April 22, 2011, 9:28 ami curious y u guys dun1 choose incredible s? Anti-Glare Matte - Anti-fingerprint but you couldn't see clearly, most likely you can see rainbows on the screen Crystal Clear - You'll see your phone clearly. Without any interruption to your eyes.

Yeah downloaded that but still in the middle of tweaking other parts of the phone. Will sort that out later. Not bugging me that much.

I thought Desire S should have slightly sharper image because although both have the same SLCD, the Incredible S has a larger screen. Same resolution but when packed on to a larger screen(IS) should be less sharp when compared to a smaller screen(DS). No?

And no, no synching.What was your charging habit when you first got the phone? Charged till it's full the first time I got my phone. Waited for about 3 hours till the notification light turned from orange(charging) to green(full). Then I took it off the charger and started playing with it. Of course, I knew about the whole charge your new hp for 8 hours thingy. But couldn't resist the temptation  On the 2nd charge, I purposely used the battery until around 8% was left, then recharged it overnight. So far, the battery's been holding up pretty well. I think it performs better when you drain it low and then recharge it. Read it somewhere online. But I'm using advanced task killer and android manager too. Don't know how much these two apps affect the whole process though  |

Yup. That's with pretty heavy use. No need to charge the whole night. It's a myth that people still hold strongly.
Also, although most tech blogs suggest installing some sort of advanced task manager, people in the comments usually says otherwise since Android manages multitasking pretty well. So i don't install any sort of task manager. Just do the tweaks like only use GSM, airplane mode when you're sleeping, no haptic feedback etc to save battery life. |

Hi, I just got my desire s on Sunday from subway pyramid. Singapore set for RM1540 with credit card. Just the phone and no freebies. Coming from e71. Such a dilemma... I like desire s since its launch at MWC but I was already on digi smart plan, and incredible s was such on such a good deal with digi, bigger screen etc.. However, everytime I ask a digi centre, they only offer the set for new subscribers. Then maxis launch desire s...but at a ridiculous price, somemore everytime I ask a maxis center, they only offer the set for contract only.
My point is, the Telco staff just wanna earn comissions. They don care about company policies that we can buy the phone as we like...with or without contract. I hate this mentality and culture. Bought a Singapore set, the shop says there's one year warranty. Haha...ya right. When can we be like other developed. Country where consumer's right is well protected? Anyway, I think desire s better than incredible s bcoz my thumb can reach every corner when I'm holding it in one hand.  Enjoy ur desire s |

How much for the case? I just don't like the added bulk, that's all.
Anyway, i stumbled upon an app called Wifi Analyzer. So i did a small test to see whether the Wifi death grip is true or not. Just happened that my neighbour also had his Wifi on just now. The results: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

Well it's normal to be a bit paranoid with online seller. I have doubts myself even though i already spent thousands on this forum tradezone already and never got conned yet. Not really by luck. Just have to survey that the seller is really genuine. In this case, he is. I can tell the phone is definitely original and i have no problem at all with it so far. Just that you have to send the warranty card to Brightstar yourself to claim the 2 years warranty.QUOTE(Atsutane-Shirane @ Apr 27 2011, 04:33 PM) You can always check the warranty card, sticker on phone...

I tried your way and my conclusions are:You don't have to do all that with the widget. Just one press for silent. Profile shortcut icon 1. It adds a icon on the screen. I don't like it but you might not mind it. 2. You need to press twice to silent it. Once mutes it, once silents it. But once silent, press once to go back to normal. 3. If the icon is not on your home screen, need to scroll etc. Volume rocker way 1. Press and hold, one step. 2. But if your profile volume is not max/min, then you have to adjust manually to your desired volume. Requires more steps and attention. 3. No icon on screen. No scrolling required. Choose your favorite way! |

On a normal working day, i use it as a normal phone. It's at home playing it around that eats a lot of battery. So can last at least a day.
Really depends on what you're doing.I find it weird that the battery usage stats doesn't include CPU/GPU usage. Mostly it's just the display eating the battery.

Why need screen protector? Gorilla Glass is tough enough. |

QUOTE(ngkhanmein @ Apr 29 2011, 09:45 AM) bo lui.. how? There is a new shop at the centre selling mainly HTC sets - I remember just behind Charlie. Last month I saw all the latest HTC Android, windows mobiles were being sold. I am very familiar with buying AP and original - has been buying such stuffs for past 15 years. Buying AP as I say buy from a reputable shop ; even in KL eg LowYat there are many shops selling AP - my advise is always first ask the company supporting it. If the seller is honest they will show you the AP warranty card, which for all good purposes be a Msian registered company. Actually what I know most horror stories of AP sets are mainly on the Nokia phones which is being stripped off its original accessories and plenty of Nokia FAKES ( look alikes ) especially at Malacca. But nowadays with the prices of batteries, cables, chargers dropping so drastically - most AP sellers ( even unethical has ceased replacing these accessories with generic ) |

I'm using Case-Mate for Desire S. Fits my phone perfectly. It comes with a semi-matt screen protector too.
I have a few extra sets. PM me if interested. On a side note, I used most of the Android phones in the Market. And I realise I like the 3.7" more than any other sizes. My Desire HD is lying at home and I sold my Incredible S. 4" and above is good for surfing and gaming I suppose. But as a normal phone I'd say 3.7" is more than enough. |

But as a normal phone I'd say 3.7" is more than enough. wan on9 play games get laptop lah.. on9 betting + check mail + google + c some datuk T clip.. ok get 3.7" no need so big like ipad2!

You mean you want to sync with Microsoft Outlook, but don't have it installed on the PC?
 HTC Sync doesn't work with MS Office 2010 x64, works fine with x86. Tried it myself, but then i managed to configure my office Exhange mail on the phone. This post has been edited by Joseph Hahn: Apr 29 2011, 10:41 PM |

I have a small pocket inside my pocket where i put my phone. And then i put my handkerchief in the pocket for extra padding. I put my car keys with wallet in the other pocket. My C6-01 screen is still scratchless, but the plastic button at the bottom is basically full of scratches.

You can look for DS reviews. Some of them does review the apps including mail. PDF and Office attachments displays just fine. Can't do 3G video call unlike Nokia, but you can do it over Wifi. Lots of apps for that like Tango. |

What ever takes affect in your phone only appears on the phone, it is never updated to the mail server.For example, you read an email in your device (it will be marked read in your device). However, when you log into your mail server through browser, you will see the email is still marked unread. IMAP is a 2 way communication.

Smaller screen consume less battery.. Install task killers so when ur phone is idle it will auto kill apps in background (saves battery) hehe.. Adjusting brightness and screen time out also can help conserve battery power..

Anyone lucky enough to get S-Off DS? There seems to be a custom ROM out already.

Won't the task killing eat battery if it's doing it all the time? I'm skeptic with task killers since lots of people are saying bad things about it including battery saving apps.QUOTE(Borsch Soup @ May 6 2011, 05:35 PM) Ok thanks, I really need to know pls test for me I posted in that XDA thread, mine seems to do 20mA idle. They said it might be something to do with Sense because Arc seems to idle around 5mA. Same CPU with DS but we have more RAM. Gonna see how it does tonight in airplane mode.

I'm somewhat divided on the issue regarding task killers
When I first got my DS, one of the first few apps that I installed was an advanced task killer. I used it for about a week. Battery would normally last for about a day. Then I read about how task killers were unnecessary, especially on new phones like ours, with Android 2.3 with a higher amount of RAM. So I uninstalled it. After that, I've been able to squeeze an extra half a day or a full day's use of battery from my DS So now, I get an average 2 days worth of battery time on my DS without a task killer as opposed to a 1 day worth of battery time on my DS when I had a task killer installed Conclusion? You tell me |

I havent get the IS as currently digi at my area is running out of stock then i come across lots of user complaining the auto reboot issue and some claim while change the network to WCDMA and it helps. Now thinking whether should go for Desire S instead of IS since both spec more or less the same except the screen size and camera.

I also tried it then 2 days later phone reboot. Uninstalled.
Some battery tips. http://www.htcinspireforum.com/htc-inspire...ttery-faq-9795/ QUOTE 1) Do I need to prime or condition my battery? A) No, Li-ion batteries do not need to be primed or conditioned like old nickle based batteries. ONE full drain and recharge is sufficient. (See also #2 below.) 2) Is it better to let the battery drain a lot before recharging it, or can I recharge it when the battery is only a little low. A) Smaller recharges are better for battery longeviity than larger or full drains. 3) Is it ok to leave my battery plugged in, even if it is fully charged? A) Yes, it won't hurt it as long as the battery doesn't overheat. |

Yeah, its my mistake i guess !
Pls guys all of you be careful... anything that says Data plan turn it off.. There are a few : 1. Settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobile Network (Connect to the Internet) = DISABLE THAT 2. Settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobile Networks>Enable always-on mobile data = DISABLE THAT 3. Settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobile Networks>Data Roaming (uses data charges) = DISABLE THAT Well, unless you are in unlimited data plan, than ignore the above....... |

my desire went crazy today... it automatically send out text messages to contacts of which I have been texting for the past several weeks. in 15 to 25 minutes hundreds of sms sent. crazy!!
it all happend when I pull out the battery n sin card for inspection.after rebooting all the auto sms sending madness started to happen. I suspect the phone trying to resend those sms that I have transferred from my blackberry during the portover to this phone. so my advise is to not transfer your text msg from your old phone when migrating to this phone. Added on May 10, 2011, 10:13 pmWell, apparently, this issue has been going on for quite sometime by other android phones as well.

Market and some other things need the background data to be enabled. Basically, when you go online just enable it. When you go offline disable it. You can look for toggle switch widget in the market.Also, i have found a really nice Sysinfo/Sysmonitor/Task Manager (not auto task killer!). Lots of info about the phone and nice graphics as well. Just ask uncle goog about System Panel. |

QUOTE(nodeffect @ May 12 2011, 01:15 AM) How to flash custom ROM to this phone? and what is S-off? You cant flash a custom rom, there is no root yet... S-Off = Security Off... Meaning the security on system partition that prevent any change on reboot... Without turning that off we can't change the system partition, can't have permanent root, can't have custom rom...Newbie here, please help... thanks! |

Please help, Thanks! Can S-Off with XTC Clip which is a hardware solution. Most people are waiting for software solution since it's easier and reversible if want to claim warranty.To check, disable fast boot under power settings first. Turn off your phone. And then power on while holding volume down. When done select reboot to boot the phone normally.

Hello all DS user, just to check with you, from your experience with Desire S, when you using wifi in landscape mode, does the signal drop? because then your left hand will hold / cover a bit of the top rear part area.
i'm planning to buy DS so bad but this wifi death symptom make me a bit scared lar, what about using case? does it solve the problem? (remember iPhone 4 death grip? will solve if use bumper) is the same action can be apply to DS? Thanks everyone. This post has been edited by toblerone: May 12 2011, 08:32 PM |

Well, my review on Juice Defender is.... "Ok la".. it does something but i dont know what. i can see a log of the things that happening in my DS (Activity log). It has a few profile (Balanced, aggressive, extreme, advanced & customize), im on Balanced. havent tried the others yet...
and is says that "Juice Defender increased you battery life by "x1.51" in the last 48 hours (estimate)... This post has been edited by Logankrishnan: May 13 2011, 10:56 AM |

More tips from XDA!
QUOTE Welcome to android! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048939As it's your first htc phone, there are a couple of default settings you should turn off to stretch that battery life out. 12 hours doesn't sound right. (You play a lot of games? Is 3G signal weak in your area?) 1. Turn off "Always on mobile data". Menu> Settings> Wireless & Networks> Mobile Networks. Turning this off stops your 3G being PERMANENTLY live when turned on. It'll just come on when necessary now. 2. Turn "pocket mode" mode off! Menu> Settings> Sound. This is new to Sense 2.1 and makes it ring louder in your pocket our bag. It does this by keeping your light sensor and proximity sensor pinging away so it knows when it's in a pocket. Madness. 3. If you have Wifi, use it in place of 3G. It uses less power believe it or not. Plus leave sleep policy set to never. Having it wake and sleep all the time again takes it's toll. 4. I use a fantastic App called Tasker. Allows full automation of your phone, including things like turning phone into airplane mode between 1am and 7am, and automatically turning wifi on when I get home and turning it off when I leave. 6. Don't use task killers. 7. Check your sync settings. It defaults to syncing Stock market and news. Let me know if this helps? Samsung Galaxy S2 Live Wallpaper.

The battery cover does have an issue. Mine also make a clicking sound when pressed. Since the battery cover is also the antenna, do you have any reception issue? If not then it's not so bad.

Also the batter indicator does stay at 100% for a really long time. Then it drops faster to catch up.  |

Ye got a few custom rom already. Have to wait for more good news from HTC about current device with signed bootloader then probably more people will join this ship. Otherwise, XTC Clip is the only way for now.

i would say this phone is pretty above average considering the price we are paying for it.
i noticed the connection speed is way faster and more stable than iphone 4 and i do surf A LOT due to the entitlement of unlimited data usage (i left apple cos of that)i noticed this phone looks even better if the owner happens to be a girl due to the compact design with a 3.7 inches screen. |

It's not that bad. Just don't cover the upper part wholly with your palm because that's where the wifi antenna is. The signal does drop but those with root can apply a fix already. Maybe a bit problematic when you're in landscape mode. Only wifi is affected not the phone signal. Yup all S-ON. Unless you're really lucky to get S-Off out of the box. But don't worry, software S-Off should be soon. Or XTC-Clip if you can't wait. I wonder where is TS. This post has been edited by Joseph Hahn: Jun 15 2011, 12:27 PM |
