I used to go in to work with a full charge and leave in the afternoon with maybe 1/4 life left. Left today with 3/4 life... nice!

i've enjoyed having 2.1 but my dad has been having some major issues with his phone. it may or may not be related to the 2.1 update (over the air not forced). yesterday it kept going to some kind of screen that looked like a diag screen. i followed the steps to force the 2.1 update but instead of resinstalling it, i just reset it that way and it's worked fine since. anyone else had this issue? i think it might have been one of his apps causeing the issue, not specifically the 2.1 update

This can be troubleshooted by booting into safemode.

Have you guys noticed message notification light stop working? I've had to reset the phone to get it to work again. I have noticed that its stopped working again. Anyone else notice this?

HKYStormFront · 04-06-2010, 05:06 PM

tommy, go to a blank space on your desktop and hold down a finger on it till a menu pops up, at the bottom it says "wallpapers", click that then click "live wallpapers" then choose the one you want.

Wow that was easy thanks bro, I was reading all these different post on other forums and I was totally lost. You can't believe what they were saying that you needed to do.
Thanks again,
Tom
same for me with the light, no problems

Rofl, that is one back-assward way of doing it...

Just click the settings button (second from the left...) at any of your desktops. A pop-up will come, with a wallpaper option.

6 of one, half dozen of the other :P

If all of you have not tried it yet, I recommend downloading "handscent SMS".

The benefits of this become immediately noticeable upon first use. You can set the notification light to be about 6 different colors. In addition, you can set a standard color for all your contacts and a specific color for a certain person. (For example, a text from my family comes with a blue notification, friends are green, and co-workers are orange). Besides the notification lights, you can also download all attachments from all text messages with a click of the button. It never Force Closes on me and is one of the best additions to the phone so far.
