Anyone know where I can get a matte screen protector? Or at least ones that don't accumulate prints? I was scouting around SM North because I remembered someone mentioning 5th Ave. (not sure if its for the screen protector but I was out to get a Razer Kabuto). Anyway, all I found were clear types that get smudgy.

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] blitz89:
try Digital Walker in Trinoma:) it's 280 pesos. I bought my 2nd one and they said it's out of stock. pilitin mo kasi may mga nakatago sa cabinet nila. i got mine there:))
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Are they Digital Hub at greenhills? What other branches do they have aside from Trinoma? Thanks!

Also, how's the quality? Does it diminish the screen? Some matte covers make the screen look faded.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I got it from ebay. It came out around 600 php for it including shipping.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
There is a Digital Walker at Virramall, 3rd floor.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] blitz89:
ebay philippines? or ebay us? thanks!:)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
It was an international purchase from the UK.

While the pouch is nice, I must admit, capdase quality and workmanship is better.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
That's a nice case :) I might get one myself. So, a total of how much including the shipping? and can you send me the link of the seller? Thanks! :)

EDIT:

nvm saw the price you posted earlier :)
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
My capdase screen protector is an anti-fingerprint one and no, it does not diminish the screen color or whatsoever.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Here are a couple of more pictures of the DHD pouch with one for a Desire

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
SM North's Capdase store doesn't have them at the moment.. Next week pa raw earliest.
[Desire HD General] iamLanvin:
speaking of cases, i'm waiting for my otterbox commuter to arrive.

about microsd, im surprised that transcend is pretty well known. I've talked to other users and they dont seem to have any problems. theyre significantly cheaper than their sandsik counterparts.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Weird. Charging my DHD with the Capdase Gel Case on makes the phone register another touch input.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
What do you mean by "Another touch input"?

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
It's like another finger is touching the screen. When I scroll up, it shows all my homescreens like the pinch to zoom reverse thing.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
It might be because the gel near the screen actually touches it. That effect happens to me sometimes when my fingers go all around the phone and makes contact with the upper right corner of the lcd.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Won't matter since it's a capacitive screen. My guess is that the case accumulates a charge from charging the phone and signals the screen like a capacitive touch input.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Yeah wala pa sila. Bought mine at GH :) Freakin' expensive imho.. but worth it :D
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Are there any otterbox commuter case here in the Philippines? Tried looking for one at GH and luckily I didn't find one.

I can't get enough of my DHD, very nice smartphone! Just bought the rubber case protector and screen protector. I don't know but the screen protector did less my screen sensitivity a bit. but all in all everything is very cool! I should thank my boss for giving me more than enough xmas money bonus to by this amazing phone!
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
i've been buying all my high end phones from eBay US my friend; including all of my accessories and everything..and i can guarantee you it's more than authentic. those Power and Trusted sellers have been there for more than 10 years and they will not do sh!t just to ruin their business because that's what they do for a living. a single negative feedback can end it; plus you get a complete eBay eBuyer Protection and PayPal Protection (if you use one). Then again, it's always a preference.

...and yes, SanDisk, with Kingston, Transcend, etc., has long been creating Class 10 32GB MicroSD HC. if you have not known, we are in the dawn of breaking the 32GB FAT32 limit. soon there will be 128GB microSD HCs.

just sharing some facts... ;)

[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Is your problem similar to this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNcnwN2y6Uw

My observation is that this could be a voltage/CPU core temp issue since the video shows that the phone is cradled (not sure for how long or how hot it runs) and your capdase gelcase can actually be a heat trap.

This happened a lot with my HD2 running Android from SD (with a capdase gelcase), sometimes the screen isn't even responding decently and I have to put it on standby and cool it down for a while. The screen actually feels like a flat iron in some cases especially when being used while charged. Considering the body of the HD2 is plastic. And in this scenario, the HD2's CPU is running overtime having to look to the SD card to run the OS (Nand wasn't available then)

I've yet to experience this on my DHD but my only advise is to leave it alone as much as possible while charging. My CPU temp rises to almost 50C+ when its charging and I'm watching a video or browsing or something. Runs around 40C- when charging and with minor use like sms and email. Stays on 30-35C when charging and not being used. I felt it running very hot one time when I left it charged overnight under my pillow + the otterbox case :( it actually froze...

The heat is concentrated when the phone is hugged by a case. The body is aluminum afterall. The gel case isn't so bad compared to the Otterbox I'm using which contains the heat even more.

I suspect that components are easily heated and are concentrated at the bottom of the phone and skews the touch recognition when running hot. This will be magnified if and when you are overclocked (like me). Perhaps you can use an extremely undervolted kernel which is practically known to be safe versus overclocking or simply remove the case if you want to charge and play at the same time.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Digital Walker Eastwood... huge store, good CS and stocks available. 280 pesos as well. DW in Parksquare also has them now too. Momax plays well with my sweaty hands and does not degrade the screen :D
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
That's weird. I can even use the touchscreen even when I have a rag on my finger or using the bottom of my shirt (like on your 10th hour of SF2Turbo on the SNES :p). Must be your screen protector... Get a Momax Matte. (They should pay us for advertising their products) :D
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I've seen this video before but its got to be a rare thing. I always use my phone while its charging and I've never experienced anything like it.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Could be... So long as you're not too bothered by it then its easily ignored :D
[Desire HD General] drahcir101:
hhhmmmmnnn checked with my friend who bought a new DHD and found out that our phones' sensitivity are just the same. Maybe I still have that excitement of using it the first time, that it would be super super duper fast hehehe. Anyway I'm sure I bought original HTC accessories because I got it directly at HTC outlet. I enjoyed the FBreader a lot just don't know which ones to finish reading out of 4001 epub books i have :) this gadget is really really cool!
[Desire HD General] iamLanvin:
Wow! That's definitely new info for me. i knew regular 32gb SDHC cards are the only class 6 and 10s they can make! I though the 32gb micro SDHCs are only up to class 4.

I buy on eBay myself, but I consider the waiting time before I receive the item (around a month in my experience) and if there are *gasp* problems with the item(returns). The whole process could take months. :( Thats why I stick to local retailers if they carry what I need.

Anyone know where I could buy those class 10 microSDHC?? Would be really handy as I keep swapping movies on my card!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Must be. I am the same way when I got the DHD... very careful since it didn't have a screen protector for many days. The screen actually is a lot more responsive compared to most I've used before (HD2, iP3g/s, iPods etc.) even when there's a little sweat on it... :p

@ Jacob1369

i guess there is this Black HTC Desire HD after all. the question is from which carrier..:D

http://grantbarker.com/ray-out-review.html

i looked at it several times, and there's no mistaking..it's got to be black.

i don't know if you would agree though.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Yup, as long as there is a conductor (your finger) within range of electron transfer, to field and change the capacitor value, your device will register a touch input.

Don't have a screen protector yet.. Thanks for the tip!

LG OPTIMUS 3D (with 3D Capable Nvidia Tegra 2 Processor)

need i say more? this is just one of the teasers for this year's MWC; with a Dual Core 3D Processor inside it and probably a pair of 8MP cameras to capture in 3D and play it in 3D..this will be one freakin' awesome phone! my heart still belongs to HTC though...probably because of the Sense UI. certainly their going to release their first dual core beast pretty soon too..i can't wait!! :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Nope, not even Lock Phone. But Ring Phone works.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Although dual core phones may be the next best thing, I won't come aboard unless they upgrade the battery tech.

I'll probably go for a tablet this year. HTC, please release something GREAT. Otherwise, hello Moto!
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Its strange that the phone finder and lock phone features worked with my HD2 but not the DHD... What gives? If someone here will attend the workshop, please raise the concern...

Maybe a tab that runs HTC's latest patent "Sensation" will be better... Otherwise, Tabshiba I go :-)

No wonder some SGS users desperately want to port Sense on their Sams... :p lol, like a Spoon visor on a Mitsu.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
now that you've mention it, Locations does not work outside Metro Manila even if you purchase the actual Philippine Map aside from what you redeemed with the coupon out of the box. perhaps they can update the Philippine Map pretty soon.

my bill went up to 4k php this month, and apparently 1.5k of that was from a "call". and apparently, this "call" wasn't really a call but because of tethering. i explicitly remember asking globe reps previously if the amount of data downloaded mattered if it was on time-based browsing, and they said no.

globe's postpaid unlimited surfing requires you that you'd be on KB browsing mode first before you register. you have to take note as to when your unlimited browsing will expire since the per KB charge will take effect immediately after the unli period unless you register again. you can have it for a day or for an entire month. it does not matter what you do with the bandwidth if you're surfing unlimited. no need to monitor the data usage just as long as you take note when it will expire. text KB to 1111; when in KB browsing, text "supersurf 50 on" to 8888 and wait for the confirmation. enjoy the 24-hour unlimited surfing. just an hour before your unlimited surf expires, make sure to turn it off by sending "supersurf off" and send to 8888. also make sure that you turn off your mobile data usage so you won't be charge a single penny. I'm not quite sure with the keyword for 1 month unlimited surfing though. you can always call their customer service for the keyword. take note that this is different from any globe unlimited data plan where you are billed monthly. atleast this has always work for me.

hope this helps.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
That's a pretty good deal. I'm on the 1.2k plan for unlimited internet but no free calls and text. Considering I only use around 40 pesos a month, I'm ok with the plan.

i dont use supersurf. just their regular mobile internet rates, which is supposedly 20php/hr (time based). the "mode" everyone's in before they shift it to time is already KB so i dont see any of those as issues. but thanks anyway

Read on..

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/htcs-newest-android-flagship-phone-revealed/

it looks like more of the original HTC Desire to me in terms of design but we never know what it has to offer under the hood! :D
[Desire HD General] iamLanvin:
im satisfied with DHD. everything i need, it provides it. this phone may last with me until 2012.

I dont think i need those dual cores just yet. screen is fine, a 4.5" would be too much for me.

not upgrading to dual cores unless they can improve the battery technology. it's not staying on par with the power requirement of new phones.

i hate the fact that I have to turn off everything just to keep my smartphone running full for a day. that doesnt seem so "smart" for me. :(

Sun Elite Plan 1500.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
I used to think SGS' build felt cheap. But when I started using it, it just seemed more practical. Very thin and light and the plastic stays put with no creaks whatsoever.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:

[Desire HD General] redlinux:
im not really sure with the tablet thingy..sometimes i find it becoming heavier than ever while i carry it..LOL

probably those things are not just my type..:p
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
IMO, its practical if your career allows you to present to clients and such or if you travel constantly and need to watch movies in transit. Its something to try if you're have a lot of money to throw around but Steve Jobs said it best (just some truths to it): "Why would anyone need a 7" tablet if they have a smartphone (with a 4"-5" screen)?"... this is in reference to the Android fragmentation and his attack on the competition. A 7" or a 10" tablet is just the same or even a 5 incher (Dell? and a 4.3" or 4.5" one for that matter) the difference is what you plan to do with it right? :D Its fun to live in a time with a ton of options... I'd imagine my son will experience an affordable, self powering hologram communicator type thing while driving a flying car... lol
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
That's a good point, I'd imagine not even needing to buy a case for an SGS and not worry about it so much (like the smaller Nokias). Its just that the DHD packs a lot more and feels and performs a lot better too... ;) plus no Sense! (can be ported though)
[Desire HD General] j3yps:
Is there a mirror screen protector available in our country yet?
[Desire HD General] iamLanvin:
I own both SGS and DHD, you cant really say that SGS build is cheap. You hit the right term, it's more practical. The reviews are too biased when they say the SGS is "plasticy/flimsy" compared to other smart phones. After I bought the DHD there was a huge difference in weight. It literally took days before I got used to carrying the DHD in my work pants!

Both are great devices. :) It's just personal preference. I just took the extra mile by buying both to see for myself. I gave the SGS to my dad. He said the UI is easy to pick up :D

[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
The SNS is underutilized especially with all the cons being felt. The only pro would be Android 2.3 because the NFC isn't used.. oh also the LED flash.

I agree the build quality of aluminum is superior to plastic, I'm just saying it's not that bad that it seems cheap. :)

I'd prefer it if the DHD was thinner and lighter with the same build material and quality. But that's just dreaming.

Also the camera of the SGS is really great. The software for the camera is top notch as well. The external speakers are one of the best as well.

I used to think the AMOLED looked better. But it gets old. I prefer the DHD's now. Just wish it was S-LCD though.. but it isn't a draw back as well.

Loving this phone more and more. This used to be THE phone I was waiting for.. I think what made me hate it was the wait and because the SGS was there for me when I needed it. Parang girlfriend lang yan. LOL.
