HTC band wagon..........

Under clocking will help with battery life and a program like Timeriffic that can control your wifi, gps, sound profiles, bluetooth etc so you can save a bit of extra battery power there and have it all turn on / off ready for when you leave the house or work.

Thats a good idea mate! I've seen the app they use to control the clock speeds and it looks like it can defo be underclocked!
I'm going to give the phone to the misses to muck about she plays with phones more than I she can test it out for me as working my magic can die slowly I should post a picture of what a three year phone looks like

a friend has recently gone from a 1st Gen Magic to an iphone4 - should have seen the state of it!  still worked fine though!

[clipperjay]

Well I got it just now
Its so smooth compared to my GEN1
I'm off to a meeting now so havent fully tested it the contact battery cover boogled me thought it was broken 
Hopefully new case will arrive £20.00  better be made from gold!
No instruction book just the way I like it 

[clipperjay]

Well little update!
The buttons at the bottom are very sensitive pressing them by accident has happened many times!
The battery pannel is so flimsy unless you pop every catch it can easily be unflush to the body of the phone!
3D rocks and is not bad gave my misses a headache after an hour of spiderman LOL!
Only one grip I transfered some ringtones and had to place them directly into a new folder with the other music folders.
I need an app to access all folders and dir's not sure which one to use.
I need a ad blocker for the webkit otherwise thinking of sticking on firefox on it opinions?
Ad blocker plus only works on firefox browser?
Any other suggestions would be greatly received 
thanks
Jay

There's an Adblocker app in the Market I used to use, needed to be rooted to use it though. I removed it because Google told me off

Doesn't the standard Music app find all music files throughout the system? I know the CM one does and sure the HTC Sense 2.1 that came with the Legend did If not it doesn't hurt to be half organised and keep it all in one place

[clipperjay]

Jay what do you think about rooting it like this heard its safer?

Revolutionary unlocks the bootloader (HBOOT), allowing you to flash a custom ROM - if you want to root the current ROM you'll need to find another method or use one of the temp roots out there, probably already on XDA-developers. I rooted my mothers with Revolutionary and now it's been a PITA to put the original HBOOT back on so she can get the latest official HTC update as she didn't want a custom ROM in the end

I've just being contemplating Revolutionary for my buggy Sensation which is shockingly unstable at the moment, is it really worth doing and how difficult?

P.s. I've been running one of those Anker 1900 mAh batteries for about 9 months now, definitely better but still could do with a touch more umph tbh.
