They already clarified that they will bring some of the 3.0 features. Probably no 3D effects for single core phones? Beats me.
So anyway we can only buy the phone from Maxis? So if i want to buy without any strings attached i have to pay 1799? Sorry i have no experience in this telco exlcusivity thingy since i'm still using a Nokia. tongue.gif What about warranty? icon_question.gif Other choice would be AP set right?

i don't think we can buy outright from maxis at the moment. If im not mistaken, we need to wait for a month or so until SIS release the phone exclusivity from Telco.

Im currently on hotlink for more than 10yrs. Heavily thinking whether it is the wise choice to jump into maxis postpaid for this phone...

No. That's not a shortcut. doh.gif

Press the volume down and hold it. It will go to mute, and then to silent (vibrate). There will be an icon showing.
What I'm more worried about is, there is no bluetooth voice dialing. Really sucks for drivers. I don't even need voice actions, I just want to call by using bluetooth headset. Which you can't...

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


  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 .....

You should get a data plan at least. Without data plan, you'll be charge standard rate which is insanely expensive. 8mb of usage will easily cost you rm70-80.

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

Since you always on wifi, mobile data should be off all the time. Unless you on unlimited data plan.

Most people here probably not interested in 3.7" screen anymore. tongue.gif

Use SP if it puts your mind at ease. Go naked if you're a careful person. But accident still can happen.

So lucky. :0

I can't use it at all. Seems like it can't detect my phone. ._.


Added on June 4, 2011, 9:51 pmAlso, seems like we'll be getting an official Sense 3.0 update from HTC! rclxms.gif

anyone knows why incredible s have higher score in quadrant? Both have the same cpu/memory spec. i dont think it is because froyo vs gingerbread, because i tested with Incredible running on GB. The score is near 2k.

hey guys. just bought the desire s last saturday and i have already facing problems.
doesn't come from the device though, it occurs from me. haha.

ok, here's the problem, i've just installed widgetsoid 2.x from the market this morning. and chose the mobile data toggle as one of my switcher. and i found it is not working. so i look around the app and read the FAQS. did all the instructions from the FAQS such as change the prefix to classic, android and simple and click disable all APN each time i change the prefix. but now, my phone won't turn on mobile data when i toggle the switch from the settings page. i've renamed the APN to default celcom settings and it still does not work.

icon_question.gif please icon_question.gif

restart your phone see what happened.

Sometimes wigetsoid data switcher might not work properly. But most of the time its working. What i did is turn off the mobile network in setting, and swith on back. You don't have to change APN setup at all. THe first thing you need to do is, turn on your mobile data in settings, and go to switcher and switch the data on. After that, you can swtich off and on from the swticher.

meaning the phone doesn't give alot of problem... that is why quiet. And the user base is quite small, since this phone is not brought by SIS. And i like it that way.
