thats expensive. but i am curious how it feels and look like. i have an hd2 and i think they are pretty much the same. just wait for January, it might be cheaper then due to a lot of stores carrying them.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
The word on the street is that CMK will have it for less than 30k but I just dont know when they will have it in stock.

There is a shop at Bridgeway with dummy DHD's. You may want to visit them to get the feel of the unit.

Warrany of the units now are mostly 7-day returns, but I feel like the regular 1-year warranty is needed for such an expensive device.
[Desire HD General] SamStone:
I bought mine a nonth ago in Thailand, the first week that they were available here. I paid 23,000 Thai baht which is $728 US and 32,000 pesos comes to $723 so the two countries are about the same. I guess that the warranty would be important but I don't think that you will have any problems with it. I had a HD2 before that I was running Android on and I like my DHD much better, everything just works a lot smoother. I say go for it, those prices sound reasonable to me.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Yeah, I think the 1 year warranty sounds pretty much reasonable, so I'm just gonna wait til' January and that CMK you are talking about? Where is that located?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
CMK cellphones is based in QC and they have competative prices.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
where exactly in Q.C mate?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Try going to cmkcellphones.com and they have a location map. Also, they have their prices up but the DHD was taken down because they didnt know when they would get any.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
True, my wife has a Desire and its been working without a hitch so I think HTC quality is spot on. However, I did see this thread elsewhere about dead pixels starting to appear after some usage and thats the sort of situation I would like to avoid. What a bind I'm in, right?

Anyways, If the price is right, I think ill pick it up.
[Desire HD General] SamStone:
I think that you will be pleased with your decision.
[Desire HD General] reyhan12:
Would any of you know if these shops sell DHD accessories already?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
None of the shops I've asked carries any HTC accessories. The best lead I have is to go to the HTC repair center allong Annapolis. I have no idea if they actually have any there but I kinda doubt it.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I have my HTC desire hd! Got it at infomaxx MOA.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] rey031:
And how much does Infomaxx sell them?

Infomaxx is known to sell at really high prices, at least for Nikon and most photographic equipment I've asked prices for before.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
The initial price was very high but we managed to convince them to lower it. let them know that you know how much it supposed to be and they will be willing to match your price.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
dude, can you translate the price in numbers please? :)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I got it for 33k paid in cash. Good luck to the rest of you in getting your units.

I'm not so sure; I don't see any other locale specific sections around.

There are free hosting sites that are easy to set-up, but I don't think I can maintain it if it grows or police it at the very least. We can probably make a committee or something?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I've contacted the mods but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I hope they answer with affirmative.

ps this reply was made using google voice to text . damn fun.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
You got me excited thinking google voice worked here. :eek:
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I wish. Hahaha

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Wait for Capdase to make one. I bought one for my HTC Desire and it was great. I have an extra DHD screen protector; never liked using those.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I remember seeing capdase screen protectors in green hills. You might wanna check those out.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] kebong:
id have pointed out a few glaring errors in logic in your post but im afraid youd just get more offended.

:) good day!
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
obvious troll is obvious.
[Desire HD General] kebong:
what tipped you off? my dead giveaway post maybe?

teehee. :)

also, if you can shell $6.30 for Tasker, do give it a try. it's pretty powerful. i myself made a macro that will automatically share load once prompted via sms. the system works like this:

you send it an sms with the keyword (lets say load25)

it sends you 25 pesos load and a text message asking you to confirm that youve received it

if you respond to it with the keyword for when youve received the load, it will send out another sms thanking you for using the service.

should globe's network lag and not send out the load immediately, ive also included a timeout that will disable any load sharing for ten minutes (to try and wait for globe's networks to process the initial request). if load is still not received after ten minutes, my system will once again allow processing of load requests.

not everyone may find extensive use for this specific macro i made, but it just shows how brilliant the things you can automate in your android phone with it. and ive only had Tasker for 2 days too.
[Desire HD General] ladyhaly:
A forum moderating committee. Yay! Well, I guess the first person we should look for is the Admin. Then, I suppose it's the Super Moderators (whole forum) and then the Moderators (specific sections) next. :)

That is not the issue at all.

The heart of the matter, so to speak, is your motive first hand. If it was beneficent, it would show. If it was maleficent, it would also show. I have stated that the 12k you were so keen to have me regret handing over to the seller does not matter to me. I knew what I wanted and I had the means to get it. And I did.

The same applies for timoty.sy's case with his DHD and SGS.

That should have been the end. One can only be so kind to advise or to express own's own regret but it is another matter if you decide to be meddlesome and pursue to press the issue with the end goal/result of making other people feel bad.

Thank you for showing some consideration though. Kindly process some empathy next time before doing anything in order to properly express courtesy towards other people. I don't think you mean to offend anyone and just want to express how important it is during these times to be practical--- but there are other ways to express it without making other people feel bad. Don't you think so?

Anyway, friends? :)

Now, now, boys. Please play nice.

To timoty.sy:

I know he's kind of annoying but perhaps he's just... being a slave to poor communication skills. Let's be nice and understanding. Yes? And, really, thank you for everything. :)

To kebong:

Please stop trying to annoy timoty.sy and perhaps me as well. =_= This thread should be about Philippine residents expressing their love, joy, and tips for usage with regards to their beloved DHD. Seriously. We didn't lose our livelihood or hurt anyone when we lost a few thousand pesos. So please.

Anywho..... I actually have 274 apps installed on my Desire HD. But the ones I listed are just the ones I recommend. I have more recommendations right now:

Andoku

Jewellust (Very addictive! Kind of like Bejeweled.)

Gem Miner: Dig Deeper

Currently trying out Nova. :)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Any takers?

No problem.
[Desire HD General] ladyhaly:
I'm willing to be a moderator but I don't have any idea about HTML, CSS, or any computer programming language and other IT-related stuff... So... Yeah. In case no one here still answers by tomorrow, I'm going to go and ask my ComSci friend to go look for someone who can help us. But no promises because he's working for a call center now. He may take some time. :)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Sounds great. Thanks!
[Desire HD General] kebong:
funny you call anyone a slave to poor communication. because youve been posting unnecessarily massive walls of text. everyone knows smart and efficient communication is achieved through succinct yet informative messages... which is just the opposite of what youve been doing.

woops, i said too much. ill be leaving now :3

oh, oh. and for those who like live wallpapers, make sure to try the following (if you havent already):

VR Tunnel

PanoPlanet

Mario Live Wallpaper (yes, super mario!)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I like Blue Romance and Microbes.

Mario Live Wallpaper is cute.
[Desire HD General] kebong:
thanks for the recommendation! i tried out microbes and its my new live wall.

and for anyone who still isnt convinced to try out the vr tunnel live wall, here's a video showing it off:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8pmhuWqREg
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I don't use live wallpaper because of the battery drain. They are pretty cool to show off, however.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
I've been an iPhone user for almost 5 years only to switch to Android. In my own humble opinion, iOS pales in comparison to Android mainly because of fucntionality and price. The only downside, for now, is the number of apps you have in the Market as compared to the long-running AppStore. That's probably because Android has a wide variety of hardware specs from low end to the elite models so developers aren't really encourage to release an app that would only run on some higher end models. :(

I think our kababayans have the wrong mentality for Android. They think too highly for any iPhone and majority of them don't even have an idea what an Android is. I'd say some appreciate elegance and beauty more than what's under the hood. :)

As I see it, starting from the recent CES 2011 and the upcoming MWC 2011, Android will consume us all!! :D
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
+1 ;)

It will suck everything from your 1200mAH.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
The IPhone is a great device but its not one the jives with what I need. I think, generally, that people who choose Android are ones who don’t fit into Apple's customer demographic. Seeing the number of NA's who use the product, it’s natural that there are others who jump on the bandwagon.

About apps, Android promotes free software while IOS promotes sales. That simple fact is why more developers create apps for IOS and not because its a better system.
[Desire HD General] Schiso:
Thanks Jacob and Luthorcorp. Sorry, didnt know there were free versions in the internet. :|

Thanksssss :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Welcome to our thread. I hope you'll find everyone pretty helpful.

Nice initiative. We'd have to hear what others think about this.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Cool idea...

Welcome buddy!

They're technically not free ;) But glad you got what you're looking for...

Could be difficult since most of us are in Manila but it'll be nice :D

using widgetlocker and adwlauncher btw :)

anywayz have a GOoD Sunday Guys :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
LD GB is perfectly fine with good battery consumption but is a little slower compared to CD GB.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Waiting for RC Mix team to rotate GB then I can join the party :-)
[Desire HD General] lampz:
@jacob

are you using Leedroid Kernel with RC mix Rom? is it GB right? i thought GB cannot use any custom kernels yet..

@red.. really? i find it more faster than CD.. CD gives me lag on appdrawers :) but superb battery consumption..

im still testing LD GB :)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
an understatement to me......this phone is awesome! :D

welcome dude!
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Yup, it's faster for me. No lags whatsoever. I'm testing it fully and I get 1% battery loss every 5 hours with screen off, WiFi off and live wallpaper off. I think I will have to stick on this one for a couple of days atleast.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Nope, its still on 2.2.1, I'm waiting for Cappy's team to rotate the GB build before I switch over...
[Desire HD General] Schiso:
Just flashed CD 4 Gingerbread and still charging. :) Hoping that my batt life will be extended :D I want the 1%/5hrs drain because im always with sync off, wifi off and live wallpaper off :D Just turning on wifi if needed :D
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Just let it settle for a while and observe.
[Desire HD General] uzumakinaruto:
I just bought mine like 2 days ago.. right now I'm waiting for the official update for my DHD.

Guys any common issue on DHD?
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
By "Official" update I assume you're referring to Gingerbread which will hopefully come by June this year. That's sounds like a good plan.

Common issues, there's none worth mentioning except one which is the Battery drain with the HTC stock RUU like what you have right now since I assume you're still not rooted. Aside from that, everything seems pretty decent. I suggest you start reading the Question and Answer section as well as the General Discussion. There are many tips and tricks that you'll discover on how to extend your battery life.

BTW, welcome and enjoy your stay.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Congrats on your new DHD :) If you bought your DHD from MemoExpress in Cyberzone SM Cebu, I was their very first customer last January 5 :D. And it wasn't even displayed yet ;)

Also i dropped by MemoExpress yesterday....i noticed that the price increased by 2k. It's now 29k plus. I bought mine at 27k. They also said they were able to sell over 25 units already.

If you're looking for a good DHD case, go for the Otterbox Commuter Series case.

Aerophone (right beside MemoExpress) has a good screen protector in Capdase Professional ScreenGUARD. Bought mine yesterday.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Hey Red, what's with the XDA Premium App btw? :)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Similar to the regular XDA app but has more options in it. Also, when you're using XDA app (Premium/Regular), you get to include your sig when posting from your phone.

BTW: I still haven't seen any DHD casing here in Cebu. When you go to Ayala or SM, all they know is an "iPhone". LOL
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
How did you upgrade to Premium?

I managed to play for a few minutes with an iPhone4. I wasn't impressed at all. Even the retina display? just like an upgraded AMOLED screen to me. And until now, i still don't get it why would anyone say iPhone4 is the best :rolleyes: (my opinion only)

Im not really an Apple basher....i love MacBooks :D But since its overpriced, i do have a hackintosh :D a MacOS Tiger on my HP lappy hehehe.

Anyway, using a casing already? coz i got lucky with my Otterbox :D
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
It's in the market. When you first run the app, you will be ask if you want to upgrade to Premium.

Yup, I had bought this Otterbox last year with my DHD. Actually I have several casings..I just wanna have a collection.

UPDATE: LeeDrOiD Ace V2.2.6 Kernel is out. Thanks to Lee.

* Patched to 2.6.32.32 ( More info )

* Minor config changes

* Lowered audio output levels (Main speaker & headset remain unchanged )

* Included previously added malware protection patch

* Removed obsolete 1.32 > 1.72 patches as no longer required
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
UPDATE:

New BUZZ kernel 1.3.8

* Patched do .32

* Fixed 100% CPU usage issue

* New CPU table

* Better performance and battery life
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
BTW, use market enabler. I got the premium app from Orange Market.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
can't log in to xda app... any one else experiencing this? logging in with a browser seems to fix in on the app side.
[Desire HD General] Schiso:
Almost 5hrs unplugged and my battery drained for like 18%..

I thought CD has great battery life?

My current combo is on my sig :D
[Desire HD General] urbangear:
i'm using Spike CM7-Gingerbread Edition rom, simply beautiful and mighty fast, question is how do i calibrate the battery?

led turns green indicating full charge but battery reading is still 80+ percent

i'm also using current widget and i unplug the charger only when it reads 0mA
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
check this out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937080
[Desire HD General] PH_750:
@urbangear

just charge the battery to full. at 0ma as per Current Widget and drain to 10%. then just recharge again. no need to always charge to full (0ma).. this stresses your battery and will not be good in the long run.

Just charge and unplug it when LED turns green, and then recharge whenever you feel like it. No need to drain til 10% or below.

Having several charges and quick ones are even healthier for Li-On batteries.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Working perfectly fine for me here.

Give it some time to settle and observe again. I've been using this ROM for the longest time now and it's definitely not a ROM issue. Also check your Accounts & Sync frequency. You should not have a Sense Account as it will eat your battery big time. Again, it does not go automatic. It will take some time to sink in.

Did you try wiping battery stats as well?
[Desire HD General] urbangear:
@ tingardz and PH_750 will try to do your advice

@redlinux yes, i did wipe battery stats after flashing and full charging my DHD
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
For those who are still wondering if the HTC service center at annapolis has accessories, they dont. The only items they carry that you can buy are batteries and chargers.

Otterbox Defender Series...

The Defender finally arrived! I was surprised how huge it was especially with the holster on but after a few hours of trying it, here are the pros and cons:

Pros:

- Feels better on hand, definitely solid with maximum protection.

- Built in screen membrane is responsive even with an existing SP.

- Rubber is thicker than the Commuter series.

- Polycarbonate shell snaps on perfectly.

- Dropped it a couple of times from waist length to test and phone survives without scuff.

- Included case is versatile and actually makes more sense to use to holster and dock. Works best on both portrait and landscape :D

- Turns DHD into a formidable weapon against perps!

- Protects DHD when your girlfriend sees questionable messages...lol (will survive if thrown out the window)

- Port access is still logical same as the Commuter but flap is definitely much more durable.

- Good solution when wearing boardshorts...

Cons:

- Heavy! (but perfect for me, might be too heavy for a lot of users)

- Obvious bulk and not pocketable, unless you have hip hop pants... lol (use the holster)

- Learning curve on tapping the sides of the screen since the polycarbonate shell adds about half a cm of protection but limits access a bit.

- Built in screen protector/membrane is glossy... natural enemy of my moisturized hands.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It makes the DHD an even bigger monster. More importantly, the holster allows me to prop the phone on my office table, car etc... Pretty convenient when watching videos and such.

The "daddy" holster actually doesn't look like those leather belt clip-type things, looks more like a head turner when clipped to your backpocket... (I've been asked by 4 strangers during lunch...)

I'd say a good purchase from Amazon for 29US including shipping. Definitely worth the wait (more than 30 days). Now I can let someone else enjoy the Commuter (if luthor's still interested) while I bring my DHD combat style :D

Here's a pic... Sorry for the poor quality, taken from an SGS :p
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
That looks pretty cool! Congratulations for the excellent pick-up!
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
@jacob, looks like its ready for battle :D
[Desire HD General] PH_750:
Just saw someone having an OTA update while using the BETA GB ROM :)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Thanks! I highly recommend it if you don't mind the added bulk and weight in exchange of protection and versatility :D

Indeed!

Btw, battery performance on RCM Rotate seems to improve on new LD Kernel. The improvement I notice is not while idle but while wifi sync is on, market updates, scrolling through apps and watching seeds of life lwp :D 1% draw in 50+/- mins... Will observe further.
[Desire HD General] Schiso:
I envy you. I really want one but cant afford to buy :)) I wonder if there's an Otterbox in Saudi :(
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Its possible to have it shipped over to SA though I find the listings from Amazon a lot cheaper than the original price of the Defender. Difference of $49.95 + $8.00 shipping versus $29 including shipping. It won't always be on stock so keep a lookout for one.

Best thing to do is search for the best listing from Amazon or eBay and email it to your dad so he could get it for you. You'd be a rockin' 16-year-old chick when you get your hands on a Defender :D
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
That's a nice case! and a nice landscape home screen! :) Congratulations mate!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Thanks buddy! Extremely happy with this purchase :D
[Desire HD General] Schiso:
Ima try, for how many days did you wait for it to be shipped at your place? My dad's goin home this March 24 for my graduation XD

Isnt the Defender to bulky for me? :D Thanks anyway! :)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Could be too bulky indeed. Try to look into Commuter cases (out of stock but Amazon might have it) or Case Mate Pop ones (more colors too). As for shipping, since there's just a few weeks before your dad flys home, look into FedEX or UPS for expedited shipping. Mine took 4 days on regular USPS to arrive at my friend's US addy but had to wait for her to fly over to bring it along with other stuff bought online that's why it took 30+ days.

Hope it helps and congratulations btw!
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Nice casing indeed. Just a bit big for me I guess. :)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
It is packing some serious weight and bulk... but this one is quite alright with me. There's another manufacturer called Ballistic that makes insane military grade-ish protection that takes protection to the extreme... they don't have one for the DHD yet but their site videos for the Droid X would show how crazy protection could really get... lol

Btw, 2 updates on the XDA app today and the last one brings the familiar behavior back... :-)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Cool, this is good news to everyone.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Yet another LD kernel... amazing support!
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
i wonder what would be the specs of the next version of the Desire HD. The Desire has Desire S, Incredible has Incredible S.......Desire HD?....Desire HD S?? :D

I say...1.2Ghz Dual-core.....16gb internal.....1gb ram ....then a higher res screen...
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I'm thinking quad core, 2GB ram, 64GB internal. But that's just me hoping.
[Desire HD General] luthorcorp:
Commuter Case

Thanks for the Commuter man..nice meeting you and your Tough DEFENDER as well :) .. cheers!
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
how about the HTC Pyramid....leak specs indicate.....1.2Ghz dual-core, 1gb ram, 16mp camera, 4.3inch screen with better resolution in 960×540, Adreno GPU

no info on internal storage though
[Desire HD General] Schiso:
Probably my next phone if the specs are true :) Ill save my parents' grad gift for that phone. :D BEAST.
