Hmmm did you manually start it before me? Because mine just started when I posted about it, and it's all done and dusted now. Oh and are you on WiFi or using 3G? I chose WiFi only cuz I'm at work.

LOL! They probably don't approve of your comment about HTC programmers!

Yeah they must put me on dial up. Just did a speedtest on our DSL, gettig about 8megs down but latency is 450ms which is massive.

OK sorted it, went and stood near the WIFI box. Weak signal in my office. Done.

Has anyone actually noticed any difference/improvement after the latest OTA update? The only thing I noticed is Quickoffice now has a different icon - that's about it...

There's now a message counter beside each threaded "chat" in the default Messages app, which counts how many messages have been sent/received between you and that specific contact.

And apparently the YouTube app has been updated too. I've never used the YouTube app so I can't really say if there are any noticeable improvements.

Anyone got problem of using non-factory USB cable? I use the factory power adaptor with a non-factory USB cable at home. It charges real slow. However, I use the factory usb cable at work, only plunging it onto the PC without the power adaptor . It charges real fast. Seems the factory USB cable is kinda special? Anyone has similar situation or any suggestion? Cheers.

@NZTechfreak

I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind :)

1. How do I see my history in Dolphin HD browser ? I sometimes need to get back to a website I can't remember the name of...

2. I got a 32GB Sandisk microSDHC card too - and when i tried formatting it using the Desire, it seemed to format incorrectly and cause a disk error. Did you have this issue? I ended up formatting it using my laptop and a card reader, using the default FAT32 allocation unit size (and it has worked fine for the past 2 days at least). Do you think the allocation unit size makes any difference?

Thanks,

Stu

I bought two cables from a Telecom shop (not a common product yet) and both were faulty. PC can't connect and gives a faulty device error. Nokia cable and the default HTC cable are sweet.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
