Also where is the download for flash 10.1 on the market. I get no results from searching.

is it not just built into 2.2?? iplayer works for me out the box

 

[C.K]

Hmm still on Opendesire here and I'm tempted to go back to DeFrost because the battery life isn't so great on this ROM as it's 18% right now and I think the display has eaten most of it (54% reported).

Perhaps I will also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742075

Which kernel? 08 apparently had high battery drainage... Im on 20 atm, might try 04 now though..

Maybe I just read that it was an app on the market. Cant use iplayer over H, as its says its only available to 3 or voda.
Seems i'm on froyo as I have all the widgets and 720p. I was just hoping for a facelift.

yeah over 3g, but before you could not get on the site if i remember rightly

Ok, have adjusted bookface and twitter to sync every 4 hours. Gmail and the rest are all set as they should be I think.

I have got 3G Watchdog at the moment, is netcounter better ?

Have signed up for appbrain. What is the mobile url for it though as havent installed it yet.

I use Netcounter, not tried 3G Watchdog personally.

Also, install the Appbrain app from the market, then you can click what apps you want to install via your browser. Then inside the Appbrain app, you can sync and install the apps you chose quite easily

Can get further on 4od than usual, but then when I try and use it over H its says connection timed out. ahh well im sure it will probably work better over wifi.

 

[CliffyBiro]

I used 4OD over WiFi on mine last night and it worked perfectly.

Then I tried Five on Demand and it was poor. The audio was out of sync and it didn't play smoothly.

 

[Jongo]

Forget that I just checked for an Update and now it has appeared !

Anyone noticed any improved battery life?

I think my battery has improved just put it on charge now at 30% it was on 1 day 6 hours. So it couldve gone a bit more.
For 12 of those hours wi fi has been been using the browser few games texting and a phone call and messing with various other things.

Is there any app which I can get that tells me the space available on the Apps2SD ext partition I have ??

Called up and asked for the HTC, they said nope, maybe tommorow or next week. Then I asked about the Galaxy S, she asked to confirm my details and then said "Oh, it looks like the HTC Desire is in stock". My ones on my way.

Now- What essential things do I need to do?

 

[Wossi]

After the latest Vodafone debacle I've decided to go ahead and root my phone, but was wondering if it was worth waiting for my new sd card to arrive first or do it now and copy the data across later.

212: what do you mean? cases, apps?

you either need to backup your card stuff and use that, i recommend getting a spare card as you will need to have the gold card in the device when you do future OTA updates

Sorry should have been more specific.

Bought an case already.

Apps- Are there gameboy roms? I saw someone playing ninja turtles?

Which essential apps do I need? iPlayer?

What is rooting?? And what advantages does it hold?

Any nice Manchester United themes out there?

 

[Niir]

ok My MUST HAVE apps for the desire:

-LauncherPro, home replacement
-LauncherPro Plus, adds sense like widgets (paid but the main app is free and excellent)
-bTunes, iphone music player, paid but worth it over the stock player
-better cut, custom icons
-beautiful widgets, paid super customizable widgets
-dolphin browser HD, internet browser
-3g watchdog, keeps track of ur bandwidth usage
-mail droid, excellent email client if u dont use gmail exclusivly
-battsatt, lovely text battery widget
-app brain, most downloaded apps, recomendation to u
-swtifkey keyboard, predictive text in the extreme
-myplayer, iplayer app does all tv/radio

enough? =P

games, dont game on my phone.

Rooting gives you ''root'' access to the OS, allowing for greater customization and allowing certain apps to work (apps2sd, screenshots are the 2 most common) however most functionality is coming in the 2.2 update which is rolling out now for the desire.

Even if I was going to use the UnrEVOked method?

 

[sorn21]

Have to say I'm quite apprehensive about allowing SwiftKey access, as it could quite easily be sending information I type to thirdparties or even using it itself...

 

[Niir]

if ur worried dont use it =)

 

[BoomAM]

Anyone managed to download the new HTC Sync v3?
The site for some stupid reason asks for a SN, but then doesnt work!

 

[Richie]

Its for Wildfire only just now (says at the bottom)
