The Official HTC Desire Thread

[MD]

I've had the same issue with the data connection mentioned on the last page. Every time I pick the phone up it seems to have an active connection.

With the Sparetools app, it looks like the "Dialer" process is eating up the network. Well, I say eating, but the actual bandwidth use is minimal (Have a bandwidth monitor), it's just that the connection is constantly open.

After using APNDroid to stop this happening, my battery life has rocketed. Where I'd average about a day use (and I do use it a lot for web and music), I'm now on a day and a half with (I'd guess) enough to get me to morning without too much hassle.

I'm not certain exactly what's happening in the background, but the simple process of cutting off net when not in use is well worth it for me.

phew I thought I was going mad...in saying that though the battery life is improving as it keeps getting charged..hopefully it continues going in the right direction

Did I post my battery tips already?

I hate you all.

Mine arrives tomorrow. You sods!

Busy ordering cases etc. Do people think it's worth using a screen protector? It's my first capacitive display tbh so i've no idea about the effect.

Mine has just arrived at home this very moment as I've just been texted by the Mrs to say it's arrived.

As soon as I get in tonight it's getting charged and abused

Well, the screen itself is VERY hard to damage. There's video's on YouTube of a guy going nuts with some keys on his screen... no effect at all.

I tried no protector for a week or two then realised I prefer the feel of an anti glare (matt finish) screen protector. It does look better 'naked', but it starts to feel a little greasy I think.

Well, i've order a whole bunch of toys for it - case(s), a desktop cradle/battery charger and a plugin combined USB/battery charger (with spare battery).

Where did you end up getting all the toys from?

Ebay/hong kong in the main - plenty to choose from. Here's some pics:





(the one above also has a USB port to allow phone charging too)




Question: I've got my calendar and contacts on my Windows Mobile - how do I get these onto Android? Can I use outlook (2k7) as a relay?

Man, i'm all Android Newb

Just called T-Mobile to chase mine up (again) - apparently they have a batch coming in today and mine will be sent out for delivery today to arrive on Monday... We'll see!

Told me they got 500 this morning and they're delivering tomorrow..

[malfunction]

I was told that they've been expecting a delivery all day and that it should be arriving imminently - and that as it would be sent out special delivery it would arrive on Monday not Saturday

[Biscuit]

I got the full cover invisishield protector for mine... right freakin fiddle to get on and im not entirely conviced i like it, makes the thing look like its the kind of prop you see in ikea. I reckon a screen protector and a pouch is the best way

Gotta love mobile phone companies - they tell you completely different things every time you ring 'em. Well, mine is *apparently* going to turn up before 1pm tomorrow..

[Stringent]

Mine's getting delivered tomorrow

Bring on the HTC fun tomorrow and I can finally stick this iphone 2G in the microwave and frazzle it into obilvion.

Video it and then upload to YouTube so we can all share that great moment!
