I just picked up a desire hd and the battery life is insanely bad. Just tried the above fix, will check out how the next charge lasts.
Love the phone otherwise.

Get an app in the market called Super Task Killer, Then use the widget on your homescreen. Kills unused apps. Best way to preserve battery IMO.

I've been using a Nexus S since January. Best phone I have ever owned or used. Having said that, the camera is a piece of ****. I have the AMOLED version, not the crap LC version Vodafone is selling - if you're going to get one get it from Mobicity in QLD, I believe they're the only place in Aus selling the AMOLED version. I don't get what all the fuss is about it 'only' having 16GB of memory, do you seriously need more than that at any one time?
I've put my Nexus side by side with a Galaxy S and the SGS was sloooowwwwwwwwwwww. Would definitely need a custom ROM to remove all the Samsung crap to make it worthwhile in my opinion, but the camera is very good.
In my opinion, if you want the best out of Android then vanilla is the best.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Well on the flip side, I'm about to shell out for the new Acer Iconia A500 tab. 32 gig / wifi and most importantly, flash loving Honeycomb 3.0!
True web surfing, divx out of the box, USB connection and HDMI out.. With room for a 32gb sd card.
Win & win & more win
Don't need a 3G version as A) waste of money B )don't wanna pay for another data plan, and C) android has had hotspot ever since froyo 2.2

Where are you getting it from and how much Brendan? I was looking at getting a xoom from the states, but the Iconia looks good too, and cheaper.

Ebay.. I was bidding on one, and thanking god that I lost..
Check out the Asus EEE Pad Transformer.. I WANT this but without the keyboard..
it's so far been reviewed as making everyone that tried the Xoom, start loving Android and tablets again.

Acer is still good, just didn't get the same wrap that the Asus did.. I've been trolling the web looking for reviews on all honeycomb tabs, and so far this one is rated the best on many reputable sites.. including a youtube review by "John4Lakers" (the guy from technobuffalo)

Got the Mrs an Iconia. Awesome little machine, no complaints so far. Build quality is awesome, and Gingerbread is fantastic. But we already knew that

So I thought I'd update you all a little on what's happening, after further investigation and reviews I bit the bullet and got the Acer iconia tab
Man I haven't had technology bring a smile to my face like this in ages. It is fantastic.
Using it to type this post right now on my tegra 2 powered slate!!!

It's good eh Brendan. Biggest thing that surprised me was the battery life, went for about 10 hours on the first charge. Awesome little unit.

you got one too!??
man, the thing that got me was how great it looks and feels.. and the speed is unbelievable..
I've already got the FREE apps needed
Moboplayer was first for my .avi's
and to top it off, Honeycomb 3.1 with USB host function is coming out next month for it too.. so I can plug my DSLR directly in and dump the pics.
and go the dolby sound on this thing too!

Yeah got one for the girlfriend after her laptop died, got sick of her stealing mine... The build quality is pretty incredible I have to say. I'm tempted to buy myself one as soon as I can think of a good excuse
