@m?k I just looked at your apps link and wonder, how do you have so many apps installed? Is it possible to install apps on the sd card? I installed quite a few apps (nothing too huge but I don't remember the total size) to test and a few games and had to uninstall loads because of low system space.

Do you have any tips?

Thanks

All my apps don't add to a big size really, Just install them as normal and I still have 40MB free.

Android 2.2 will add Apps2SD so SD storage will be possible soon.

Thanks for your reply, however as I'm impatient I'm rooting my Desire now to install the Apps2SD ROM and I'll get a new SD card tomorrow :)

Anyone rooted their Desire yet? I'm Orange so I am looking to remove all branding and root it at the same time. BUT I want to keep a backup of the phone, just in case I bork it or it fails later on down the line. So I can restore my Orange backup, and thus not void the warranty.

I have mate, plus I'm on Orange.

It's so much better without the Orange junk.

And Titanium Backup requires root and that backs up everything for you :)

Have a look at Modaco forum, under Android and HTC Desire is all the info you need.

Plus I'm sure they're putting original carrier ROMs on there to restore back to

Hi, I did this last night without any problems, my main reason was to install stuff on the sd card but with apps like startup manager there are lots of other advantages to rooting the Desire.

As funkymunky says, there are guides on Modaco but I found this one to be more helpful as everything can be done from Windows.

Got mine in the post this morning (Well, i say mine, my name is on the contract but its for my brother)

photos snipped

Great shots..:)

Hey guys, i would like to say if someone want to write another HTC Desire review, more elaborated than mine, feel free to do it.

Won't bother me at all and mods could merge this thread to the better review.

When i posted i just wanted to give a fast personal insight of the device to other fellow neowinians.

Just ordered one, should have it Tuesday....if I pass the credit check :unsure:

Got it on Orange, 24 month sentance but with free handset, 300mins, unlimited texts and 500mb internet.....all for £25 a month, with 10 months 1/2 price via cashback.

Total cost = £475, and could get lucky and have an extra £50 back via quidco.

....and if I don't like it, I can always sell it on ebay for £300ish and keep my iPhone 3G.

    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      You can use MCT to create an updated ISO and then use Rufus to create the bootable USB.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.
    • Phone Dilemma

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
