    Call length is messed up?

    This is weird... I noticed I was getting through my credit far too fast. On checking my call logs, calls that were quite brief were shoing up asmuch longer - in pne particular case a call I am sure was logged as 10 minuites, and I'm sure it was a quick 'see you later'. There seemed to be no...

    Personal favourite additonal apps

    Thought it might be handy to mention a few of my favourites that I put on my Archos 70. (I use the geegle marketplace - I think most will not be on the archos store). All are free. JustPictures. The included image apps seem VERY slow to me! This one is a LOT quicker, particularly when you add a...

    On the advantages of an Archos tablet over iPads

    I got an iPad for my wife, but chose an Archos for myself. I can see that the iPad has some real strengths, not least the superb screen, and excellent ease of use (once you have it loaded), and it impresses straight out of the box, but I think that for anyone who wants something over the basic...

    Help Cleaning up the home screens on an Archos 70

    I'm loving my Archos 70 tablet, particularly after getting the full android market, and google apps, on it. One niggle though is that I find it a real pain to sort out the home screens. If I try to drag an icon for an app I don't use to the bin, (an easy task on my HTC desire), 95%+ of the...

    Help Archos 70 - fiddley reset?!

    I'm really enjoying my Archos 70 a LOT. Andf it will be even better when the 32 Gb card arrives in the mail! One thing I do find friustrating though - it locks up fairly often, (seems often when I disconnect it from charging). No big deal, but I do find it very fiddly to do the reset - I mean...

    Root Unlocked, now no google mail or marketplace?!

    Today I had my desire rooted, (that sounds filthy now I read it back?), and I'm not sure its really been done correctly... I can make phone calls on the sim, (vodafone), and was also able to use the internet, so the data is working too. But the odd thing is that google email has gone, (icon...

    Google listen - how to trigger downoads?

    I gave Google Listen a go, and it seemed fairly useful - found stuff well, and worked nicely as a player. I like the way it remembers where I was in a podcast when I return. I'm struggling to understand how to control what and when it downloads though. Is there a way to tell it 'go and get...

    Downloading of updates won't start - how do I reset?

    I'm using an HTC Desire, but have hit a problem. When I try and download updates to apps, they all hang on 'starting download'. I built up quite a queue before I noticed, cancelled all, and tried them one at a time, no joy. It doesn't seem to matter if I am using wifi or not... I also...

    HTC Desire - best wallpaper resolution for no crop or stretch?

    Hi All, I have a nice new HTC desire, and wanted to put someof my graphics in as wallpaper. But I am struggling a bit with the required resolution! I understand it is different from the screen resolution because it slides with the home screens - so what is the required resolution if i want a...

    Hello from a soon-to-be HTC desire owner!

    Thought I'd take a moment to say hello and introduce myself! I'm currently impatiently awaiting the arrival of my first Android phone, an HTC desire! I'd pretty much given upon complex phones fter my experiences with a nokia - tons of features but almost unusable. After that I went back to a...
