    S2 idle battery drain. What's your?

    My previous phone, a HTC Desire running the Redux 1.2 rom, would sip battery at a paltry 1% every 2 or 3 hours when left idle overnight, on my desk or in the middle of a field playing golf (so, not necessarily on wifi). My new S2 gulps it down at between 1% & 2%. Same configuration, same apps &...

    Root Getting Sense notification sound for new ROM

    I've rooted and installed Redux to get more space for apps (I can't believe how easy the whole process was :cool:) but - sad as it is - I miss my Sense notification sound (I can't remember which one but I'll recognise it when I hear it :)). I believe they're in root\system\media\audio Is...

    Android Market on my PC

    I'm probably the only person who didn't know but I've just had a oooh, clever moment with Android Market. Goto https://market.android.com/ on your PC, sign in and you can manage you apps from there. You can even install new ones to your phone. *oooh, clever* :D

    HTC turnround repair in 8 days

    Whoo, hoo. My Desire is back. HTC shipped it back 8 - yes 8 - working days after receiving it. I would have had it the following day but thanks to the utter and total incompetence of UPS I didn't get it till this evening (11 days after I sent it). Seems they've replaced the motherboard (new...

    Desire returned for repair. Should I...

    It's been gone six days now. Six days with no Desire and a crappy old Nokia. I thought I could cope. I mean, how bad could it be. Its only a phone. G-g-g-going c-c-c-cold t-t-t-turkey can't be that bad. So, should I just wait it out (the Nokia doesn't even have a camera ffs) or buy an Orange...

    Help BBC News pages w/Flash crashing browser

    Woke up a tad early this morning so rather than get up I thought I'd read the news on my phone (its what its for after all :)). Problem is, any page on the BBC News website containing a Flash movie crashes the stock browser :(. So, while this and this are OK. This, this and even the mobile help...

    All day event - edit changes date

    More a warning than anything else. Edit an All Day Event in Calendar and it adds a day to the date. Edit it a second time and it adds another day. If you don't spot this you'll turn up at the right office on the wrong day (like what I nearly did :(). How do you report a bug to HTC ?

    Little things you love about your Desire...

    I love that I can adjust the music player volume without unlocking the phone. I also love that I can put it on vibrate or silent using the volume control (both so much better than my previous Nokias) :)

    Are all USB cables created equal..?

    Or is my Desire faulty? Hi, had my Desire about a week now and absolutely loving it. However... I bought a couple of spare USB cables from eBay (they were listed as being suitable for the Desire fwiw) - mainly for charging - but why I plug the Desire into my laptop with them I get Device not...
