    Help How long does it take your DHD to becomes "usable" after booting?

    Forget about doing a fast boot. I'm talking about the rare occasion where you have disconnected the battery and had to start up from scratch. I'm a little worried that there's something wrong with my phone. Whenever it has been off with the battery out (or I've mounted it as a disk drive on my...

    Ice Cream Sandwich...

    Right, lets get the ball rolling because this thread was bound to be started sooner or later. Will we get ICS on our DHDs? When will we get it? Press release from HTC didn't sound so great for "older" phones in general, but DHD while no longer king is still a powerful peice of hardware. Let...

    Is this battery consumption normal?

    After I updated to the new HTC release over the weekend (is it 2.5.405?) I've noticed my battery life has been shockingly poor. On the normal Gingerbread release I could easily get a day's usage out of the phone with 3G and WiFi on most of the day. Today though, back in work, when I left the...

    Help In car charging

    Hi all, When using my DHD in car as a sat nav I use the standard USB cable that came with the phone and a cigarette lighter USB socket from my local supermarket. While this allows it to mostly retain a charge the battery does deplete somewhat on long journeys. Is there a better socket or...

    Help Gallery issues (possibly since upgrade)

    Hi all, Is anyone else having problems with their gallery not displaying all items? I have 300 camera shots on my phone, but now when I take a new photo the gallery won't display it. Instead, I have to look through the SD card using astro to view the picture. Any ideas what's up here? Thanks

    How to set the night time desk phone?

    Since updating to gingerbread one of the features I used most often has disappeared and I'm hoping its just me not doing it correctly. You used to be able to have a desk phone screen saver and it could be set to day or night mode - the only difference being the brightness. I can still set it...

    Hi all, I'm looking for a program that can convert the many large MKV files I have into something more manageable for my DHD to play. I had been using Videora iPod Convertor and using the preset iPod Touch/iPhone settings but the results can be blocky. So what does everyone else use? I'm not...
