hi all. Searched high and low for this phone in low yat and they said they no longer have the production unless u buy from maxis. So i opted for wildfire S instead
*
low yat is full of conman inside. best avoid buying phone from there

1 guy quoted me rm1049 for galaxy w. that was insane

another 1 was discussing with his boss before he say no stock for galaxy w

last 2 weeks b4 CNY my friend went into lowyat to buy phone in the end kena con by extra rm200

avoid wildfire s . the screen is very bad . my second choice for 3.7 inch screen phone if not desire s is htc ryhme. check that phone out . is quite nice too smile.gif
*
htc ryhme is quite overprice and more suitable for lady. take sensation would be better if you dont mind its battery life.

further more, baterry you can use 3rd party. want safe buy branded 3rd party battery.

Yup pulling battery causes it. But not everyone have this problem.

Some people phone died in the middle of updating multiple apps from the market. Really weird.

Basically your phone won't boot at all.
*
some guy posted about this b4.... updating several apps per time will fried the mobo

but HTC managed to fix this like 2 months ago

Hello! Not sure whether this thread is still active or not but I need opinions. I am planning on buying a new battery as backup. So, i thought why not i buy an extended battery thus improves battery life, and use the original one as backup since i had spare rm200. The hard part is which battery should I go for? http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/h...re-s-s510e.html or http://sunglobal.com.my/enlarge.asp?id=93. Mugen-power is very reliable and there is a review by customer regarding longer battery life, but it's a bit on the expensive side. Meanwhile, sunglobal battery is much more cheaper plus an extra 50 mah, but i just couldn't find a very convincing review regarding improved battery life. Sigh....    hmm.gif
*
follow your budget, no budget of cause go for mugen. but sometimes expensive doesnt mean is better. it also depends how you take care of it(dont overcharge, charge when it before it reaches 10 or 15%.. my nokia xpress music after buy new battery can last me 11 days, old 1 only max 4 days, what surprise me is it only cost me rm25

Hi, do any of you'll experience the same lag issues as me while using Skype/Viber? Or is it just my lousy internet connection...
Running on 2.3.5 BTW and can't wait for the ice cream sandwich update!

better to use home line wifi (streamyx or unifi) and test it out 1st. mine delay 1 sec of using maxis hspda

I just got myself Sunglobla batteries for my Desire S. My question are

1. How to do the first charge? 8 hours or until the light turn green?
2. To maintain the battery lifespan, frequent small charges (like at 40% recharge or below 10% only recharge?)

Sunglobal is a Lithium polymer battery.
*
5-6 hour will do. let it until 5% or less b4 1st charge. afterthat, best charge at 30% or more
