hi,I might be getting a used desire in this few days. is there anything I should I know before buying the phone? such as bugs, problems etc. thx.

yes, learn how to root it and start flashing custom ROMs

like ShinnKQ mentioned, this actually shortens your battery lifespan, rapid charge cycle is better for the battery, meaning you should charge it whenever you can.

lol! anyway, is it recommended to update to gingerbread? any problems? what apps will be missing?

been using custom GB ROM for the past 6 months or so,
not much problems, one that I can recall is slow USB transfer rate..
so far I don't see any other problems for app compatibility.

definitely recommended to do so. even the official GB update is faster than the froyo one based on our members feedback.

Most common is heat cause mobo kong.
Not true multi touch / Dual touch

Normal stuff loh.

BUT what kind? SIS or AP set?

Check if got change mobo before

maxis set... BTW... what do you meant by not true multitouch? isn't it the same with the wildfire?

basically when it's near or same axis with another point, it will swap places or starts f***ering up.

Won't notice while doing pitch to zoom but when u play games with control pad and attack/jump/etc buttons aligned next to one another on 1 Axis, you will wonder why u randomly do moves.

Doesn't affect non-gamers, rest assured.

If Maxis then SIS also.
Should be fine.

i am too lazy to fresh install new rom. last fresh install on april and keep on updating nightly. but now my market alwasy got FC when new update being apply. any advise from taiko here?

this used to happen to MIUI Au users as well... the temp fix for us is to change the locale to Australia

but I don't think that will help you, try asking at XDA?

tq taiko.

prob settle. update new gapps.

err do we have any desire s dedicated thread....

here

owh...thanks very much bro...really appreciate it.
sorry to suddenly spam this thread guys.

changed to supernova rom but laggy and got problem..
now changed to acesmod007 rom..
wanna ask, is there any particular system data that we should or should not restore from TB?
after restoring missing apps+data (around 70 apps), i have 70mb left..
but after restoring system data, only have 15mb left..
plus, my contact only shows sim number.
i've already import contact from sdcard, but everytime i reboot phone, it's gone back to showing only sim numbers...
same problem when i used supernova data2sd rom..

As a general rule, we don't restore system datas from different roms.

usually I don't restore system data from TB if switch different rom. only apps+data. else only restore apps if rom unstable.
about contact, I always use google account. everything done via PC to login gmail. either import/export or arranging, user avatar photo, name, number, group, email, etc... no problem.

owhhh... ok then. will reflash everything and start again..
btw djlah, first of all, how to sync the contacts i already saved to gmail?

most of the rom I using before, after connect internet and sign in our gmail account in setting. I leave the auto-sync enabled.
it's take a while, then automatic my phookbook have all my contact included email contact too, I just hide those uncallable.

if you difficulty or any issue on this easiest way, then login gmail in your pc. click "contact", then drop down "more action" button and select import/export. save as vCard. then copy it to your sd card. I believe most of rom have import/export option in phonebook option. This is manual way.

I'm using MyBackup *Root*, works like charm. Normally I would restore Call Log, SMSs/MMSs, Contacts and few essential apps like Papago and Better Keyboard.

One thing when restoring Contact, I found out the contacts is not restored unless you log-in thru your Google account first...

by right, if you have sync'd your contacts into your Google account, then you don't even have to manually restore it,
once you log in to your account on your phone, your contacts will be sync back automatically into your phone.
