Android OS

Don't get the original Desire. Might as well go for the S. And updates mean nothing when you're rooted and booted!

I'm considering the Desire S at the moment. T-Mobile are currently offering it with 300 minutes, unlimited texts (via the 'flexible booster') and unlimited internet for £25 per month. Quite a shame they're not offering the same deal for the Desire HD.

I got my Desire S for £25 on T-Mob, 600 mins, a lot of texts, 500mb internet via Phones4U.

I'm quite tempted by the Desire S. I can't say that I'm particularly fond of the aesthetics, though.

Each to their own I guess. I think it's really nice.

I wasn't too sure from the images that I saw before getting mine, but love it now!

My HTC Desire Z just decided to delete all my texts, for no apparent reason. Checked and I definitely don't have it set to delete when my inbox reaches x number of texts or anything. So sad, I had things I wanted to keep there.

Edit: Ugh, apparently a recognised Android issue for over 2 YEARS? http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5669

Depends no one really knows. Having all your messages deleted has been a problem with nearly all phones across time. It used to happen abnormally more to Desire HD owners so this could have been a sense problem. It happened to me three times earlier in the year, however since I've been running custom roms and thus don't have a HTC sense account, it hasn't happened at all. So I guess take that as you will.

Just make sure you have sms backups. I use two, Sms backup+ and Sms backup and restore, the former will backup all my messages to my gmail account and the latter to a file on my sd card.

What ROM are you running on your DHD? I'm having Wi-Fi related battery issues with mine and the developer doesn't seem to want to acknowledge them.

Yeah, I never bothered with a Sense account so it's not to do with that. Such a pest, this is the 2nd time in about 3 1/2 months it's happened. Shall be installing sms backups tonight although from doing some searching, a lot of people seem to have equal trouble getting backups to restore after suffering this problem which isn't particularly reassuring!

Lol my DHD is pretty screwed atm. I have davlik and some other partitions in EX3 and data in EX4 so it's kind of freezing and being unresponsive . Once I get time I'm going to put Android Revolution HD back on, I'm using Leedroid atm though. You?

Hah, I'm on Android Revolution HD and was thinking of trying out LeeDroid. Maybe I'll try one of the less popular ROMs, although I'm a bit scared I might end up in your kind of situation if I go to one that uses EXT3 rather than EXT4...

I'm happy that we've been able to get some really high overclocks. I'm at 1.8ghz with Lee kernel. Really weird because even at these high clock speeds the governors are so good that my standby drain ranges from 1-4Mah. Means I can easily get through a day and 2 days on light usage. Yeah there does seem to be a lot of new smaller dev based Roms out there now, I should probably check them out but the problem is generally all the Sense roms are offering the same thing, clean, light, fast sense.

anyone know a good keyboard app. The keyboard on my GSII is nowhere near as good as the htc one for suggesting words and doesnt have things like commas as secondary functions (long press)
