    UK users - What version are you running?

    Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that by buying a Nexus, I'd be getting the 'Pure Google' experience, part of which includes timely updates as and when they get released... But I'm still on 4.0.2. What gives? If it makes a difference, my carrier is Orange UK. I...

    Root DeFrost 6.1 & HTC_IME mod

    Just updated to v6.1 and all seems well, apart from I can't seem to get the HTC_IME mod working? Holding the symbols button brings up the Android keyboard menu, but when I tap Input method nothing happens. Someone over at xda said killing the android keyboard just made it default to the HTC...

    Root DeFroSt (A2SD+)

    First of all, what an amazing ROM! I tried Cyanogen but it crashed like 50 times in a single day and eventually just got stuck in a boot-crash cycle. It also managed to get me lost by crashing and rebooting 3 times while I was trying to navigate to somewhere literally 20mins down the road...

    iStudiez Pro Alternative

    Hi all, Just wanted to know if anyone could point me in the direction of a decent Android version of this application. I know you can kinda mimic it's functionality a little bit by simply using the built in calendar, but the idea of an integrated timetable, previous grades, grade...

    Battery life increase?

    According to a lecturer at uni, mobile devices use more power when they have to try and hold a connection (wifi or mobile network) that is further away. Apparently moving your router closer will allow the device to conserve energy by allowing it to power down it's radio because it's not...

    Help Get .apk files off the phones internal memory?

    Once I've downloaded an app from the market, Handcent for example, is there a way of getting the .apk off the phone and onto my computer? Cheers!

    Root SetCPU

    SetCPU claims to be able to increase your battery life by limiting the speed your processor can run at. This seems like sound reasoning at first, but then I remember roughly what a CPU is and how it works... So let's say you've set a profile so that when the screen is off it will be limited...

    Accessories External Keyboards?

    Not sure about you, but I spend a lot of time in front of my computer - both at work and at home. Work is a Windoze XP box and home is a MacBook. Now this got me thinking (which is never a good sign!) I'm not a massive fan of touchscreen keyboards, even the ones as good as the Desire/iPhone...

    Root LeeDroid v2.0, A2SD+

    It's done. It took me many hours getting around some rather silly little errors and stuff but I have root. So let me just make sure I have this all correct... Clockworkmod Recovery is a small program that's installed on a partition on the Phones internal memory that will run right off the...

    Root Rooting from stock 2.2

    Hi all. Ok so I think I'm ready to take the plunge and root my Desire. But I've heard that there isn't any way to do it if you're running on 2.2? I hope this is wrong. What is the best way to root as well? Is unrevoked a good way of doing it? Seems simple enough... Cheers!

    HD Voice

    So many of you may have noticed Orange announcing their 'HD Voice' service today but I was just wondering what everyone actually thinks of it? So far it seems only 3 handsets are ready for this 'new technology' but will it ever take off? Is it even something that interests you? If you haven't...

    My poor Desire... :(

    First off, don't panic, it's only suffered cosmetic damage! (I hope!) So I had my phone out, it was a pretty busy day near Kings Cross station so there were a fair few people trundling past. Some dippy b***h comes raging through the crowd ranting down her phone at some poor person on the...

    I think something is going very, very wrong

    Hi all, My Desire is beginning to annoy me, it just doesn't seem to want to work! My signal is full but when I try and make a call it just beeps and cancels the call. I keep getting texts from Orange saying people are trying to call me but I never get calls. Texts keep failing too. Oh and...

    Astro won't open .apk files

    Ok so I want to install a couple of applications that aren't on the market (notably RockPlayerBase and CarHome.) Anyway, I have Astro (the free version) and I have set the phone to allow unknown installations. However when I navigate to the .apk files on the SD card using astro and select...

    Car Home

    Not sure if this has been covered in another thread, I had a look but couldn't find anything. I know that many android phones have that awesome car home app installed as standard, but all the ones on the market aren't very good. Is there a way of getting it for the Desire? It would be really...

    Apple Lossless on Desire

    Okie dokie, so my iPod Classic has taken a trip into a small stream (oops! :mad: don't ask me how...) Can't exactly afford another one just yet, so I was going to use my Desire as a stand in for the time being. Only problem is maybe 90% of my library is Apple Lossless encoded, which the Desire...

    3rd party batteries, copy protection and OS X syncing

    I emailed HTC last week with these questions, thought I would post up the replies if anyone else wants to know... 1) Is this safe to use 3rd party extended batteries and will it make a difference to the capacity (it's 1600mAh)? Also, are HTC going to release an official extended battery in...

    Mac OS X Icon Pack

    Hey guys, Just a little present for any Mac & Desire users out there. I just finished making a couple of Desktop icons and thought I'd share them with you all! Just download the .zip file, unpack it and apply whichever Icon you like best. If you don't know how to do that, I've included an...

    Accessories Extended batteries

    OK so I love my Desire, but I wish it lasted longer. We all know that the battery is quite frankly, pitiful, but are there any alternatives. I know there's a 1600mAh option knocking about on the web for

    Different Lockscreen/homescreen images?

    Is there a way of setting a different lockscreen image to the one displayed on the homescreens? Home screen images, by their very nature work best when they are simple or abstract because they have a load of stuff going on over the top of them. But in the lock screen it would be really great...

    Can't pay for apps!?

    Whenever I try and purchase an app from the market it asks me to put in my card details but keeps saying there was an error. I've done it about 4 times now but it keeps failing. I'm in the UK trying to pay on a Visa Debit card. The only option is to pay with a credit card, is that where the...

    Battery Percentage

    I know there are multiple widgets for showing battery percentage, but is there a way of showing it in the menu bar. Just like as an overlay of the battery icon? I don't see the need for a widget AND a menu item, plus it would be helpful to see it as a percentage at all times, without the need to...

    Hi!

    The little green Android told me not to lurk, so I thought I'd do as it suggested! Just moved onto the Android platform today in the form of a HTC Desire. Very impressed with the hardware and the software, just wish there weren't so many issues with missing applications in the Market! It's...
