@MOOGLEYS What widget is that for the clock and the system information and that weather one?

Its the Sense analogue dark. Weather is Weatherbug.

For those that are saying there phone is fuzz free. It is worth pointing out that OLED by it's very nature is not are sharp or as clear as TFT due to the pixel alignment.

I had both the OLED and LCD phones and my wife said the LCD looked awful compared to the OLED and she could not care less about tech. I sent the LCD one back. There is no Fuzz at all on mine. Not saying the LCD version is bad but when you see them both side by side its a very noticeable difference.
 
I'm not arguing as i plan to buy an OLED one anyway. I'm just saying that by it's very design, OLED can never be as sharp (what that means to the human eye might be different) as TFT. At the distance one would view a phone from i guess it makes no difference (compared to say how it would on a large screen TV). In fact since the TFT doesn't suffer from the (alleged) burn problem, can show proper whites (not pinkish tones) and has a slightly improved touch controller it's all horses for courses.

Whichever one I end up with I won't be too fussed.
 
Ok so just come back with the device it's build number OUK_P729BV1.0.0B05

Came with some hideous white watch too with a plastic strap that they say RRPs for £70 Bull****.

It's taken me 5 days to read the entirety of this thread. Now i finally get to play.

Finally rooted the damn thing!

I've done it with the phone only too, only used the PC to copy some files across and that's it!

Sounds retarded but I can't say how happy I am after about 3 days worth of trying to update it from the PC, running BladeVillan atm.

I'd be happy to write a guide for those people who are having problems rooting it while connected to a PC.

Did you get yours from castle mall?

Yeah. Aparently that shop only gets old phones and old stock and the women had to beg an plead with them to in the San Fran.

I popped in yesterday, she said hers was from the same batch and let me check the build. Then went back today and checked out another handset and it was the same build too. Told her there an then i'll take it.

I started to look a bit annoyed when the other girl took it off her to let some guy in store have a quick play. I'm like "make sure i get that one back" lol

The other guy bought one too.

They have maybe 1 or 2 left now. I was tempted to buy 2 and sell one, but wouldn't really want to deprive anyone.
 
One question. I'm running the BladeVillan ROM and every time I boot the phone up i'm getting a 'SD card mounted' notification. Never used to get this with the Orange ROM and i'm wondering if I can turn it off.
 
Anyone noticed the sound too high when playing music? I have it on the lowest media volume and it is way too high. None of my earphones have voulme control. Is there an app or somthing that allows you to manually set it to somthing else?
 
Had a chance to compare the TFT screen to my friend's Galaxy S and I would say it holds up pretty well. Definately the colour on the AMOLED just pops off the screen and the black level is immense.

However reading text, the TFT screen is quite a bit sharper. Do not know anyone with a SF OLED to compare to so I'm not sure how valid this is.
 
mybackup pro is better imo, get the 30 day trial which you will have plenty of time to save and restore

obviously you have to re-download mybackup after installing your new rom
 
It stays there on mine till I get rid of it. :(

Just want to keep the icons to a minimum if possible, hate having a cluttered phone, i've already deleted all the shortcuts on the home screen and put 'em on the side ones lol.
