I decided to keep mine and I think the camera is faulty lol. It goes all purple and squares whenever its opened.

time to send it back?

I did have the same issue - after I used the camera it would go all blocky and purple.

Doesn't seem to do it now I have installed 2.2 tho... though I need to test it this weekend a bit more thoroughly.

I ran battery calibration and lost 6% battery in 3hrs 50 minutes with wifi on, gmail sync, facebook, twitter etc.

Nice!

What the monkey is going on? 4 hours a few calls some internet/emails later and still at 100%!!!!
Has this procedure broken the battery sensor?

Edit: Its just pinged 99 (that was without without wifi/3G active) wow thanks Khaaan!

Same! what does this mean ?

My battery was at 99% five seconds after uplugging from the mains, now at 7.45am I'm at 98%.

I tried it, if anything it made mine worse!

Really terrible now, think it's a combination of OD 3.2, might roll back to 3.1 as I had better performance then.

My battery's crap now too, I unplugged at 10pm last night, about 2 hours of MP3's etc, few texts, its now dead. Not very impressed :/

If anyone is interested... here is an apk file for a full version of Need for speed: Shift for Desire users. I've downloaded it, got it installed and it is incredibly good as far as games for phones go... graphics are great and no lag at all. Works flawlessly on my Desire. Running 2.2.

brilliant cheers wouldnt install to my sdcard tho?

 

[mattbill]

Unfortunately it doesn't install to card and can't be moved by the looks of things ... uses phone memory which isn't good as it takes up about 40mb.

 

[mrk]

Only uses phone mem if you're not rooted, if you are then you can move to SD (or use SD-EXT)

 

[Bradmax57]

just managed to move it with spare parts

Is this a demo version? I can't imagine it being legit if it's not.

 

[mattbill]

Full version... legit or not, I don't know, but I can't imagine it is.

 

[Vonsteve]

It's taking forever to fully charge on the second phase of that callibration :/ surely it can't take that long as it was 2 seconds before turning off fully charged....
