Hi all HTC touch users! I have a problem here.

Problems: As we all know when it is connected to usb cable from PC, it will SYNC + CHARGE (light turned to orange). But now i realize it no longer charge when connected to USB cable. It will only SYNC and the light will not turn orange either. It will only charge when i use the AC charger.

Anyone has such problems? Does this mean there is something faulty?

Did u use a different USB cable? Otherwise, check under "Power" in "settings" to see whether u have an option to enable/disable USB charging

Hiya frens,

Yesterday I put my HTC Touch on the table and my dog chew on it. Huhu, now the housing is scratch badly. Called HTC to change housing but expensive at RM185. Anyone know where to get housing cheap? tq

wah. ur dog so crazy one?

mind to take a pic and share with us here?

Hi wailocke,

thank goodness he didn't crack the screen! If not, that'll cost u between 300 - 600.

I guess 185 for the housing is ok. I guess fake one also around 100 - 150.

Pics pics pics! Boy r we sadistic or wat!

i think his dog was trying to figure out how to do the slide up touch flo ting" lolz

Haha, right will post the pictures later. My sis swear that she heard some warning sound from my touch before she realize the dog have been biting it. Guess it did manage to unlock my phone

Found some OEM ones from website cost USD 15 + 5 for shipping from HK.... They even got a few colours white, blue and etc. Darn, cant wait to get my hands on them esp white.

Below are the sites:

wow i wanna get those too!!

how bout we share the order

Hmmmm... I find the white not as appealing as the black. Probably because it's a glossy finish rather than a matted finish.

Market price is RM1999-RM2099

I can get you cheaper one!

guys I have a question to ask: does the Touch supports/reads Chinese natively? And can I type Chinese via T9?

Hi yrh0413,

No, the Touch does not support chinese on its own. U'll need to install the fonts to read, an extra SIP to write.

Free ones are such as D-Ear Chinese SIP and ZTA4 Chinese SIP which comes with the font and SIP in a package.

If ur willing to pay for support and possibly better performance, go for CE-Star or Monster Chinese

thanks for the reply. Just curious though, is this Touch good? Or should I go for the 818 instead? I'm getting my first PDA phone to replace my N70 but I really have no clue which should I go for.

Umm... well, seeing that other than d HTC switch that u can use to acivate touchflo and aesthetics, the Touch has no other significant upgrade from the 818 pro.

If I were u, I'd go for the 818 pro coz it's cheap. Then 2 - 3 months later, when I get the hang of it, I'd get something super like the Tytn II for example

Guys ... changing WM6 platform, which model is the best which is below RM1800?

Anyone can advise me, thanks.

For me, im using touch instead of 818. My priority is on size and design, so TOUCH comes in picture. 818 is fine but i used o2 mini and o2 Atom exec previously, so 818 is not as attractive as TOUCH

tested the Touch today at PDA Expert @ Midvalley... some questions though:

1. why the startup is so d*mn long?
2. with mapking installed, the Touch is very laggy...
3. is it just me or I need to tap the screen hard to get it to respond?

Overall it is a nice PDA phone, but a tad too complicated for me to upgrade from my N70

Hi yrh0413,

1. Startup for the first time is memang like that. After that, turning it on/off is almost instantaneous. Unless u wanna hard reset every morning!

2. The problem with the Touch is that its resources is extremely limited. With only 64mb of RAM on board, running a resource-guzzling software such as Mapking will quickly deplete ur program memory hence making it sluggish. Compaction threading is also another culprit to slow the device down further.

3. It is a known fact that the screen of the Touch is not as sensitive as other devices. A good reason would be that since the Touch is designed to be more thumb-friendly, it will need a more durable/thicker screen.

Also, notice that the Touch's screen does not reside inside a depression on the housing like conventional PDAphones. Instead, it's level with the housing. So in case the screen is put on a surface facing down, it will be in direct contact with the surface. So a more hardy screen is feasible here as well.

PDAphones in general are complicated devices. But once u get used to a Pocket PC Phone, it's hard to go back. Haha...

kerazul, are you using the Touch now?

Tried my friend's Touch for a week b4. Test gao gao. Don't like it. Currently still using Dopod 900
