Does anyone here encounter the gps problem? What i mean is that...
When i use Locations app, it takes very long to detect where am i... sometimes it can't even detect where am i... (btw i can fix it with GpsFix. i just wanna know if anyone encounter the problem with Locations app)
Also, can i really use Locations app for navigation offline?
*
at least you still can get fix . i cant get fix at all . right now i just can use network to detect where i am .

Theres no HTC sync icon on the bottom right corner of my laptop.     HTC Desire - Setting up synchronization      From this link, it shows a green icon, and i dont have that.. no matter what i try. This is what i have user posted image
I'm using vista.
I installed the HTC sync 3.0 downloaded it from here       HTC Desire S - Application - HTC Sync for all HTC Android Phones & HTC Smart

I can connect to it, but when i try HTC sense.com it cant connect to my phone and it wont ring either. the icon at the website is old icon i think . i also dont have that icon .

Ive searched everywhere for possible fixes, tried them all but it wont work.

Hi All, wanted to ask sumthing about this phone. is it true the HTC DS data keep on running even if we disable the mobile network setting? Last week my data usage  went out to almost rm2k!im using celcom exec 50(no data plan). i've install the 3G watchdog apps on my DS...the 3g usage very little..but celcom bill charge me like crazy! when i ask the lady @ celcom centre she told me " the data for this HTC model memang keep on running even if you disable everything " . is it true? if yes.  is there any solution for this?  im new in this smartphone thingy. pls help me.  sad.gif ...

note: most of the apps i install using wifi network and tru apk. file on pc download.

when i ask other ppl:
some say the free apps is not giving the right count. apps tipu.
some say apps eat data alot when running it.(without internet access.can meh?)
some say some apps use alot of data when download and install tru market.(mobile network or free wifi also charge)auto charge data.huh?
some say celcom suka hati charge me in the bill..then they will waive everythig..give me the fix an reasoable price for it.
some say tukar hp lain laa...

Hi Sifus,

My desire s here got problem. Cannot start the phone even after i have factory reset it through phone button.

Anyone here have any idea on other ways to start it? My last option is to send it to the AP dealer for warranty already.
*
have you try to take out the battery and try to hard reset ??


Added on August 11, 2011, 6:04 pmwhy so many people have dead desire s . got anything weird happened before your phone dead? hmm.gif

like phone extremely hot? using task killer? too much background services? memory full?? you let your phone battery drain until empty before?

phone cant turn on happened to me once but i took out the battery and put back on then the phone can be started but the startup takes about 5 minutes after that my phone just back to normal on the next reboot. i had no idea what i did before that happened to me i think i open some apps without closing it then i put into pocket and let the screen lock .

fyi my phone never completely sleep before . my light sensor on all the time for me using sensor unlock screen app.

to those had this problem mind to tell me anything odd happened before your DS dead? or cant be turn on before take out the battery and reset/on the phone . unsure.gif

1)  Anybody using AP set?  What region is it?  What distributor?
2)  Any lady owners?  Bagus?  Considering this for my wife.  She likes phones >3.2" and <4" sizes.
3)  When is original sets coming out?

Thanks!

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??? =(
*
your phone is ap or ori??? mine was ap with europe software . i had this problem . wasted alot battery for the gps to work mad.gif but when using wifi or 2g/3g my location get detected instantly . under 3 second. i start to think is it this phone doesnt built in gps . and using A-gps instead .

Where can I get A-gps?

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
