    Car bluetooth - Fatal Exception and other Issues

    Dear all, My HTC Desire is now 15 months old, and still works as new. No, better than new since it's rooted and faster. I got a 3000 mAh battery pack which does jut out from the body a bit, but now I can use the phone without worrying about juice. Runs for a day and a half without a...

    Root Couple of questions...

    Whew... I just rooted and installed the "Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM" from AdamG. It seems to look and feel exactly like 2.1, which wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting the lockscreen to be different (the horizontal one). Is that a feature of Sense? Do I HAVE to get rid of Sense to...

    Hi, I was thinking that it would be interesting to use the phone's GPS while traveling in a plane. I could measure the speed and altitude among other things.. :cool: So my question is: has anyone tried it? Will it work? Is it okay to do, or will it mess with the flight's systems? Regards.

    Slow transfer rate from pc

    I'm using the usb cable, and am just getting around 3 MBps for large files. It takes too long to copy movies over. Is it because of the phone or because of the class of card I have (class 2)? What speeds are you getting? Should I get a new fast card?

    Astrid Alternative?

    Is there any good alternative for the Astrid tasks app? I just need a widget on my homescreen like Astrid to show tasks. The problem with Astrid is that it has a backup process which keeps running in the background even when I disable backups. (See for yourself, in running processes) Thanks.
