QUOTE(kueh @ Dec 3 2011, 03:00 PM) hi all build quality desire S better. aluminum housing with gorilla glasswhich is better? galaxy wonder or desire s?  performance wise, both are same although W has more processing power i reason why i choose desire S over galaxy W because i tends to drop my phone. |

QUOTE(D-Frog @ Dec 5 2011, 12:43 PM) awh man...that's sad...then most likely there is no ics for desire s? dont worry. SIS is only a distributor in malaysia. desire S is quite popular in other country like hong kong about ICS update - if desire HD and incredible S able to upgrade to it ICS, desire S will be no exception as well ( cause all having same hardware spec mar, using same proc and ram) |

QUOTE(xzjasonzx @ Feb 1 2012, 11:13 PM) Is Desire S good for a mid-range phone? because the retail price of this phone is rm 1599When I search for mid-range phones, Galaxy W and Arc always appear but not this. The spec are pretty good to me. Why is it not that famous? where the actual market price is only around rm1000-1200 cheers  Added on February 1, 2012, 11:21 pm QUOTE(dudan @ Feb 1 2012, 09:44 PM) man...the new firmware update really pissed me off. hmm it happens last week but this week appears fine to me. very weird. but i'm not surprising that it will restart another time, cause even samsung gs2 or gw have this problem. symbian still rocks yokeep on restarting > 5 times!!  it'll ok for few hours after suffer from the auto restart, then sudden restart again and thats it. feels like to throw it over the window..before it update everything works nicely. Guys, please help me.. it happens after I update to 2.15.707.2, sense 3.0 try to restart the phone by yourself or turn it off for 5 min then on it back This post has been edited by squarepilot: Feb 1 2012, 11:21 PM |

QUOTE(dudan @ Feb 2 2012, 05:11 PM) bro, is it juz suddenly ok? for me is not quite ok as before is not so. if you meant backup those organizers and message, i think temporary use a secondary android phone would be a good idealast tues i've went to brightstar service center at plaza berjaya, they said need to left it for 3 working days. but of course need to backup everything. that might be last resort for me other than own factory reset. BTW, appreciate if anyone can guide me how to backup my DS data, preferably inside PC. backup data can use software Added on February 2, 2012, 8:52 pmoh wait. can back up your message in sd card. can be done using desire s itself This post has been edited by squarepilot: Feb 2 2012, 08:52 PM |
