    Help 3g and wifi hotspot battery questions

    I often use my Desire as a hotspot. When I do, both the 3G and Hotspot are on, and both take a toll on the battery. I left it for an hour (surfing from ipod touch from time to time) and it took about 10% of the battery, which is a really good result. However, next time I used it - I can't be...

    Root Battery life in 2.2

    I rooted and put "Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM". Seems to work fine, however, I have a feeling that battery life is worse, especially when using the net. However, maybe it's just in my head. What are your experiences with battery life after upgrading to 2.2? And please, don't make silly "I...

    Multiple app sync

    I use Seesmic for twitter updates and I use Peep to sync FriendStream. I like FS and like having latest Facebook and Twitter updates on my desktop, but I prefer Tweeting with Seesmic. While I had Seesmic set to manual updates, recently I turned auto updates for every 2nd hour. Now both Peep...

    Do you need to "reinstall" (reflash) the OS from time to time?

    On Windows, in time, the OS becomes bloated and buggy. After installing and uninstalling various apps, once a year, I usually format the drive and reinstall everything. Main cause of this are the apps and the trash they leave behind. Registry entries, dlls, files in the system folder, god knows...

    Is anyone else affraid their microUSB port will break?

    No matter how careful I am, every time I plug in or plug out the usb cable (to charge the Desire or connect it to a PC) I get a bad feeling that the little "tooth" inside the microusb port on the Desire will break, as it is only 1mm thick. Ofc, this is not the issue with the Desire specifically...

    Please help: question about twitter and facebook apps

    Since I like official apps, I installed the Twitter app on my Desire. With Peep and FriendStream, I now effectively have three apps that check twitter and two for Facebook. While I don't mind having two or three apps that do the same thing, I do have a question about syncing and self updating...

    In the task-killer's list, I can see Footprints and Stocks running all the time. I don't use either of these two apps, but they keep loading up constantly. Even when I Force Stop them from the manage applications menu or kill them with the task-killer, they load up again. Is it possible to...

    From Maemo to Android

    Hello, HTC Desire is my first Android device and a second smartphone. I used to own the N900, but switched after it became apparent that Flash 10.1 won't be coming to it and that Nokia will not be releasing MeeGo for the device. The N900 is a great, open device with cool features such as a...
