Question about brand new Desire

[priester68]

Just got home with my new/first Desire. How do I set the phone to not black out while charging?

also, how do I check which apps are open so I can close them to protect battery life?

Thanks.

Settings - Display: here you can set the timeout to 30min. More than that and you risk battery to get hot getting drained and charged at the same time.

Do not concern yourself about which apps are open. Android OS manages apps on a best way to optimize the memory and battery usage.

Cool to know about the apps.

Now, how do I set the phone to not blackout while I'm using navigation while driving?

Normally, if you start navigation with its own app (called Navigation), the screen should stay ON.
If that doesn't happen, you can use an app like Screebl or Screen ON to keep the display on.
