Oooooo, exciting. Hopefully the XDA chaps or whoever get this on the Hero soon .

Nath, problem with this ROM - voicemail notifications don't come through anymore, unless you know'ee of a way to sort this?

Ah yes, that's a known issue - it never bothered me as being on O2 I don't get them anyway, I get text message warnings.

I'll check out that new one though .

Good that they're working on the speed.
Good that they're doing App2SD.
Good that they're doing WiFiRouter.
Good that they're doing Update All in Market.

Absolutely NOTHING about what they're going to do about extending battery life or improving memory management. That is most people's #1 bugbear.

Modaco are sorting that out nicely though .

Arhghghghghgh! It seems the car charger I got cannot cope with charging my phone :/

Also, it creates interference with the audio output jack when both are plugged in.


Tom; can you test this with your Nexus? Use a 3.5mm out and have it plugged into the car charger. I get a whining sound on the audio output.

I've found the Legend to be extremely badly shielded. It's stilling exactly where my iPhone was and it's nearly constantly making the speakers wiggle with activity.

Another question

How do you get the voice to work on the sat nav? I downloaded it and as far as I know installed it but cannot find an option within the navigation to enable it.

Turn the volume up

Seriously, it may be muted, it's a separate volume from your phone ringer and media volumes. Just click up on the volume control rocker

I got a 3x12v hub with usb slot from Aldi this week for £3.99 charges my Desire fine. It's a stop gap till i get a decent car cradle/charger.

Quick question, I've got 4 USB ports on the front of my PC, now the HTC Desire seems to draw about 500mA, now If I plug in for example my usb headphones into the port with the same channel the whole port array seems to fall over requiring me to reboot the PC?

Is this expected as the phone is drawing the max amount of power or have I got a USB port issue.

Short of inventing a new display, I don't see what they can do.

I have that problem but it manifests itself as a slight background noise.

Its common with most electrical equipment, because the ground for the car's alternator is shared with everything else, including your car's audio.

You need to work at giving your car cig lighter and your car radio the cleanest ground possible, running a wire straight to the battery would do that.

Take a leaf when ARM were developing their EPOC s/w on the old Psion handhelds. "Every milliamp is sacred".

Somehow MoDaCo manage it, the ROM of theirs that I'm using for my Hero is not only *much* faster but also the battery life is about twice what it was.

Yep, that's what I meant by interference, it's not all the time though. Only when the battery is quite low.

Chet - off topic but how much did you want for your Windows 7? Can't remember was it Pro with both discs?

 

[Ch3tan]

It's the retail version of Pro, with both 64bit and 32bit discs. I paid £90, it's been collecting dust so you can have it for £70 plus postage if you want it.

Shouldn't as normally it is 500mA per port thus your Desire can pull 500mA and so could your headphones. I've noticed that my Desire didn't work well through the USB sockets on the front of my system so I plugged it into the ones located on the motherboard.

 

[SheepCow]

If they're not proper ports (which front USB usually aren't) then chances are you'll need to plug something in round the back. Front USBs tend to be "hubs" rather than individual ports.

Froyo manual update instructions for nexus one owners.

I'm installing it now.

 

[inactionman]

Installed fine, just installed flash as well.

 

[nath]

Nice, hope to see a Hero version soon so we can see how well JIT improves performance.

 

[Tom]

I'm going to wait for the automatic update. I'm not prepared to risk the small chance of turning my phone into a paperweight.
