    Help Unexpected Battery Problem

    Strange thing happened with my phone over the last 2 nights. First, the battery level was about 95% when I went to bed and was at around 50% when I woke up 7 hours later (Phone was on but not left on charge).

    Root The "Latest" Radio

    What's the story with radios...? OK, step back a little. What I mean is that each custom ROM tends to say it's better to flash the latest radio before flashing the ROM (of after the ROM, whatever) if a radio isn't included, and most give links to radios that will work. I know WHY I need a...

    Root Exchange ActiveSync after ROM replacement, what changes?

    Root Tutanium Backup Pro - Market Update

    There's a Market update available for Titanium (root users), and it has a new feature for Pro. It sounds like it can force apps that are within a custom ROM to be updated from the Market, rather than having to flash an updated ROM with the latest app. Could be very useful for anyone who has...

    Help Data Usage By Individual Apps

    Can't find any previous discussions about this: is there a way I can see how much data is being used by individual apps? I use 3G watchdog to monitor total data usage, but I can't find a way to see what is using the data. Last month I used about 550mb of my 750mb FUP allowance without doing...
