O2 retail stores seem to have them for £320 on PAYG.

Actually, you reminded me I just saw this. I know you have to then take 10 quid credit, but still, £330 and then add any sim card I want... is there any catch?

 

[adbp1]

can u add more home screens to the desire or is it set to only 7.

Yo! I tried to install the matter theme but it failed moaning about the framework apk. Or something. Any ideas,.

 

[Adrianr]

Were people getting these direct from o2 for £285?

Ok I'm actually ready to. Root finally have the drivers and everything installed ok

I take it I will loose no actual apps but all the settings?
I cannot back up a phone image before root?


Ate there any really safe mods?

Is like 2.2, the battery circle thing and if possible one which doesn't use more battery than stock

Also I take it there are no mods with sense underneath?

 

[raceway99]

Anyone know if overclocking using setcpu also overclocks the graphics?

What drains the battery? I literally just charged to 100% about two hours ago, and now its already down to 82%, haven't been doing that much on the phone.

I been reading it through battstatt. Also I'm using the LaunchPro theme thing, are there any good widgets I should be aware of?

And since I'm not using HTC Sense, is there a good clock anywhere?

Are you using the last version of Facebook by any chance? It was draining the battery even when the screen was off.

 

[Noni Juice]

Yep I am, is the facebook app just not worth using then?

 

[Psypher5]

it got updated didnt it? 1.3.0 had an error (batt drain) and 1.3.1 fixes?

It's locked to O2, apart from that, none.

Go onto the Market and go to the Downloads tab. If there's an update then install that.

 

[Noni Juice]

I have Facebook 1.3.1. Could it be something else?

 

[spaceman]

*#*#4636#*#* see if any apps are partially awake

i've had music draining my battery when i had the controls on my lock screen

i've had shootme draining my battery when i forgot to quit out of it

 

[BoomAM]

...so along with HTC music crashing when Navigations running, ive also just noticed that the handsfree bluetooth is knackered! Anyone else got that fault?
Its strange, it plays music over the BT perfectly fine, but calls now no longer work!

Anyone know where i can get, or if its even out yet, an official 2.2 RUU? I want to give a fresh 2.2 install a try, incase its the 2.1->2.2 upgrade thats broke these things on mine...

 

[sorn21]

Well after ROOTing and Flashing LeeDrOid my signal seems to be dropping quite frequently, any ideas? I made a backup of the APN's so I will restore that - see if there is any luck!

 

[Adrianr]

Yeah I tried to ring before but after being on hold for 10 minutes I couldn't sit about any longer. Was it £285 over the phone?

 

[sorn21]

LeeDrOid 1.8
Minimal Matte Grey Theme
Sauve Icon pack
Tajm, Battstatt

 

[Jamesbcd]

Using the LeeDroid rom atm. Hate the boot animation though. Anyone know how to get the one from OpenDesire or just the stock one? Preferably without sound.
