htc desire issues
hi, i have just bought a htc desire.
i think the battery on it is woeful, it will die within a days use. my main issue is the 3g data, it doesnt seem to sync my 2 gmail inboxes. its a pain as i need access to this!! im on orange, also the internet is intermitant. seems to be very slow while on 3g/H. any tips? btw. the plug they sent me - it doesnt work, i have to use the usb dongle on my lappy to charge the phone!!! |

The battery is not brilliant, but a search on here would have told you that before you bought it.
It is possible to get a spare higher capacity battery or just a normal spare. If you are constantly syncing, then you will go through the battery in less than a day. You can discharge almost fully then recharge a few times and after that, not let it go below 30% to maximise life. Try also xda developers forum for tips on maximising life eg. Not sure why you can't sync your gmail. I don't have an issue, perhaps it is more orange network related to your location. |

Xtremelabs speedtest will record your upstream and downstream stats. Probably worth installing that to give you some firm stats if you are not happy with performance.
