This is the deal I got with mobiles.co.uk
They have been faultless, ordered on friday, got it saturday. Im well pleased with the phone, been looking at rooting but not yet. But I bet that would be the best way to remap those buttons.
 
Root would be good - if at least for Titanium - but would rather not unlock the bootloader.... :(
Pretty sure this was never achieved on the HOX ? Here's to hoping it can be done on the HO....
 
I personally would have gone for the unlimited data options, but I suppose it's what you would need the most. The 29 a month deal at cpw on 3 seems a bargain considering 4G will be free for users on the 3 network when it finally lands (end of the yr I think?)
 
Guys

My sim has just ported from giffgaff to O2 and I deleted the GG apn setting and have the O2 ones in there that were already there I have signal and 'G' showing but I can't browse the web with wifi turned off, nor speedtest or anything? Any ideas ... This is on my new HO

Thanks
 
Example One - Taken with the N4 (the glove is dark grey)

Example Two - Taken with the HO (the glove is now purple / pink due to the spot)

Do I have a faulty camera or has the firmware update messed the camera up?
 
Hard to say stoosh, I haven't seen anyone mention that issue on XDA yet.

Try a different camera app out just to see, if the issue isn't present with it, then it is most likely a software issue, could try a factory reset as well.

Doubt it is a problem with the camera hardware itself, otherwise, you would/should have noticed it before the update too.


edit:

BTW a lot of people have mentioned that the capacitive buttons have much improved with the new software now.



EDIT:

Did you manually focus on the glove? Supposedly with this camera (more so than other phone cameras), you can get much better shots/quality photos by manually focusing to get the right exposure etc. as opposed to just "point and shoot"

Thanks Nexus :)

I factory reset the phone, tried another app (Camera Zoom FX) and still the same results. I also manually focus on the glove (by that I mean I tapped on the screen and waited until the green box came up). It's strange it's as if the purple / pink spot seems to stay in one place and discolours whatever is in the view finder at that moment in time.

It's very strange...I didn't notice the purple / pink spot prior to the software update and now it's very pronounced. It seems to engulf anything that I point the camera to. The discolouration disappears when I use the flash but that's not great when I want to take shots in daylight because the pink spot will always spoil the photo. :confused:
 
It's a common problem with small digital cameras, HTC should fix the problem with software update. (...but you can never tell with a smaller company sourcing parts from several suppliers, get a replacement if few others have the problem.)

Ah the joys of being a beta tester/hardware pipe cleaner! No idea why people rush out and buy the latest gadgets these days. Give it a few months and you'll have a better made, more reliable device for less money. :D

Because there's always something new coming around with much better performance, it's hard to keep on top of the mobile world compared to computers :(.


Meanwhile I managed to fix the problem I had with the HTC flip case, the mic hole didn't align properly with the mic on the phone, so I drilled it slightly bigger to allow the mic to properly work this time. Quite strange for an official case to not match a phone it was made for...
 
Nexus18 said:
Yeah that is very strange :confused:

Not sure what would have caused that to happen!

I worked it out! It was a simple case of the lighting affecting the way the camera behaved. I took the phone into another room and took a picture of the glove and I didn't have the awful purple / pink spot. Duh!

The touch buttons are much more responsive since the update and haven't so far haven't failed to register a response so HTC have done good there with the update. Am just reinstalling everything since the factory reset, such an arduous task.
 
good to hear that it wasn't a "permanent" issue :)

It most certainly is! :D I will probably do a factory reset once the S gets sense V5 but I use all the stock apps these days so it isn't as much as an issue as what it was when I replaced every stock app near the beginning :p Can't wait for sense V5, looks soooo much nicer/more modern :cool:

I don't understand why they can't get a deal that's close to that. The deal I got from P4U was similar but with 1GB of data and that was £36 for 18 months and £50 automatic cash back to buy me out of my current contract.

The cost of my contract is therefore £598. The cost of your contract is £627 and is more expensive. Granted you're getting 6 months extra service so it's cheaper on a monthly basis, but whilst haggling this time with various operators, they've all been happy to ignore that fact and just look at overall contract cost.
 
Is anyone else experiencing the following bug with this phone and the new software update (I'm not sure if it did it with the old one):

Place an .mp3 in the alarms folder on the sdcard. Try adding it as a custom alarm sound and accept changes made to that alarm. Does the sound driver crash and keep crashing until you remove the mp3 from the folder?
