    Help What the hell just happened to my screen?

    I was about to take a photo when I noticed my screen had gone sort of weird, like the colours were distorting. I looked closer and the screen became more and more wacky, a bit like a rainbow or something. I pressed the home key and everything returned to normal. It's very hard to describe, but...

    Help Battery drains instantly and phone turns off

    Ever since ICS this phone has been a disaster. I never used to have any problems, but almost straight after the update the phone would randomly crash and, upon restarting, the battery indicator would state that the battery was almost empty (even if the phone had previously had 100% charge). If I...

    Kies is totally broken. I tried to update my phone to ICS via Kies after it said an update was available, but to no avail. I clicked update and it downloaded the required files. The it said something about preparing for update. Then it started trying to download more files, but after 3 hours...

    Using Google Maps Offline with GPS

    I am going to Brussels and would like to use Google Maps to help me navigate the city. I have found you can download wide areas using Google Maps, and I have saved pretty much all of Brussels to my phone. This is useful, but will I be able to use GPS with the offline maps? Am I right in...

    Help AP Mobile eating all my data

    Last month I noticed by phone had used nearly 300megs in one day. I only have 500 in total so this was very annoying. Anyway... I have since installed a traffic monitoring app that monitors usage by app. Today I noticed my phone had started to get hot in my pocket and I had a look. AP Mobile...

    Has your phone ever reset?

    Okay... hopefully a one off, but I was browsing the internet today and my phone reset itself. First time this has happened in a month and a bit, and hopefully the last. Anyone else ever had this?

    I'm really impressed with the battery on this phone!

    Bit of context, I came from an HTC Desire which had a terrible battery life. Even after I got used to it, I still had to be a bit careful. Getting a SGS2 I was a bit worried as I had heard all the horror stories. But really, this battery seems to last forever, even under quite heavy use...

    Help How do you update his phone?

    I have tried using the OTA option like I used to on my Desire. No luck. I have tried using Kies, but there is no option to check or update firmware. I am still running Android version 2.3.3. I understand there is a newer version but seemingly no way to upgrade? Phone is unlocked and...

    Help What's using my data?

    Okay, the other day I noticed that my phone was constantly downloading data via 3g, even though there was apparently nothing running. I kept an eye on it for about an hour, and it was constantly chewing through data. I turned it off and back on, and everything returned to normal. I can see...

    I buy an app. It gets removed from market. I get no refund?

    I'm kind of sick of buying apps and then having google decide to delete them. I bought PSX4Droid, Gensoid and a few other emulators a while back. Now, despite paying for them, I cannot download them from the market. I paid money for them so I should be able to download them from "my apps"...

    Help All Galaxy S2 screens are flawed?

    Try this: Fill up the screen with solid black. You can use the screen test menu (*#0*#) if you can't be bothered to find a totally black image. Make sure the whole screen is black, with not even the notification bar showing. Then go into a totally pitch dark room. Look at the screen for about...

    How bad is the orange branding on this phone?

    Interested in upgrading to this phone... but how bad is the orange branding. Orange really went to town on the old Desire, with so much bloatware it nearly ruined the experience. Is it the same on the SGS2? In particular: Are there any uninstallable apps? Is there any branding on the...

    Haptic feedback a little... creaky?

    Hard to explain, and a very minor issue, but my haptic feedback sounds a little creaky. It vibrates fine, but the haptic feedback seems to make the casing creak a little, a bit like the motor is touching the plastic of the case. Phone works fine, and is over a year old, but I just wondered...

    Help Internal Memory - Very strange

    I am well aware about the Desires low internal memory, but I have never really had a problem... until now. Basically, I have about 30 megs of internal memory free. Then, all of a sudden, I got a low memory message in the status bar. I went to memory settings and saw that the total space...

    Launcher Pro - A few questions

    I'm using Launcher Pro on my HTC Desire and I have a few questions. I can't believe how much faster LP is compared to Sense. Everything is so much smoother with LP and it has really made me consider rooting so I can use vanilla android. - Has anyone noticed decreased battery life with LP? I...

    Messaging bug?

    Not a huge problem, but a little annoying.... First of all, I am running stock 2.2 on an unbranded Desire, with latest firmware from HTC. Sometimes when I go to my messages and say, click on messages from "John", messages from a random other contact come up. If I click back and click John...

    HTC Sense.com

    I really hope they bring this to the old Desire. It would seem strange if they didn't. The phone is clearly powerful enough, runs 2.2 and, well... it seems like it would be a fairly simple update. I would actually be very disappointed if HTC turned their back on their best selling phone. For as...

    Need for Speed: Shift - iPhone Vs Desire

    Ok, there is obviously a lot of interest surrounding this game, especially since a version became available for Snapdragon phones such as the Desire. I think this is particularly important as Snapdragon phones are often said not to have the power to run graphic intensive games. Since...
