Mine here is AP too, I guess it's cheaper. You can only get it from Maxis at the moment. Some might be selling the ori set, but u have to find it yourself.
Regrading phone cant be start problem, I guess you better go for the warranty. My phone is great and running without any problems, I guess maybe u got a faulty unit.
Anyhow, I would suggest u guys to update your phone and then make a factory reset. Clear all files and start it like a new phone. I thinks it is more stable that way.

buzz... sorry... but figured u guys would be the next best people to ask... asking on behalf of my bro...
official set only available from maxis, right? the rest are all AP? or is there official set available that is not from maxis? if so, how to tell the diff? SIS sticker?
sorry, posted on HTC FB page but no reply... i think coz today is a PH in Selangor?!? also, what is the expected price for Ori and AP set?
many thanks in advance...

I'm so fed up with the gps of this phone! If i disable the location determined by Wifi/mobile network option,
solely dependent on the gps satellites signal to determine my location, it seems to take forever to detect my location!
Should go to the htc customer care centre to fix it? or is it the problem everyone encounters with this phone??? =(

Mine is singapore SiS set. same here... when using wifi/2g/3g it will detect
my location instantly. i think it has both GPS and A-GPS. I have tried using
GPS Status app and i still got the result of my gps status without any
connection regardless of wifi/data network but it took like 10-15 minute to
show the result. After that, i tested with Sygic Navigator
and thank god it worked! What i did was.... i went outdoor and took off
the cover. And then later i tried again using Sygic Navigator, sadly, it failed
to detect my location again. =( How come? no idea.

You can buy it directly from maxis without contract or looking at LYN garage sales... I prefer garage sales since you will get some discount while @ maxis you stuck with old RRP... Ori set's will have Brightstar sticker and not SiS sticker...

Desire S is from Brightstar that why only Maxis allow to sell it... But according to SiS u can sent to them for repair... Can't say that bad... but then again my DHD also having some problem connecting with papago lately...

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Aug 18 2011, 11:44 AM) A-gps is assist gps . that use your network on wifi or 3g/2g to send ur details to the server then the server send back the location to you . i think all phone have this . cause if using gps itself the detection is kinda slow here but you still able to connect . but my phone cant even connect the sat at all
