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 !!!

Whats your top 5 'must have' apps/games?

2. Solo Lite (play virtual guitar for fun) - Apps
3. Adv. English & Thesaurus Dictionary (WordNet) -Apps
4. Barcode Scanner - Apps
5. Asphalt HD 5 (3D Game) - Games

still hunting for nice,good,useful apps/games...

Im new to Android world - still exploring...........

i was just being hit by RM263.75 data charges ! OMG ! what have i pressed !!!


Usage Charges
Domestic Charges
Calls 38 .98
Data 263 .75
International Charges
Data 0 .20 302 .93



Found out that :

Under settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobile networks> Enable always-on mobile data is enabled ! is that the reason?? Damm.....

Anywhere else this could triggered the data connection ? im on Maxis standard postpaid, no data data .....

No Bro, i prefer to use Wifi wherever its available, my office wifi, or home wifi..thats ok la.. im not a 24x7 internet person

but, i was just wondering, coz i normally use wifi (turned on 90% of time), how come the data plan overtook ? terrible !

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.......

well, i think your right ! i just called maxis to un-bar my line, was talking to them.. most of the smartphones has this features ( likewise ours are new in the market, sure 'smart' enough). If the wifi signals weak/turned off, it 'might' use the data of the carriers(Max/cel/dig...etc). Scary enough, but lesson for me, turn off anything that says mobile data...

On the other hand, maxis's cheapest data plan package is RM18 for 100mb, if exceeds normal charges for data applies ( no notification/sms if exceeds)

Yes bro - i missed this one

Is Juice Defender a good apps to control the 'data/wifi on or off' ? e.g only use 'WIFI for data...." ? coz when i disable "Background Data", i couldn't go to Market, getting message "market needs background data enabled".....hm.. this is complicated than i thought..

well, i've installed it yday - monitoring my HP today..its charged 100% - will update you all soon.

thanks for the info bro..

yeap - did that actually.. using the power control widget, not sure how it can help. i have to be EXTRA EXTRA cautious from now onwards..
dun wanna get another shock from Maxis....

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)...

Just realize that HTC means "High Tech Computer"

Sorry if this has been asked/talked about, did anyone of you tried the swype keyboard? try installing it at beta.swype.com from your mobile... its cool !
