Really enjoying my HTC Desire, its everything I wanted from a smartphone. One issue I have is that I have just got a cradle for my phone and would like the screen to remain on while it is in the cradle but cannot find an option to allow this apart from the screen timeout but longest that allows is 30 minutes. Probably missing a setting somewhere so thought I would ask here.

Is there any way to disable the screen that shows all the 7 screens after tapping the home screen? If not disable get rid of it all together.
Or maybe an app to do so?
Ii haven't made any big changes to my Desire and all was working well. suddenly a couple of days ago i noticed that things slowed down significantly.
exmples: when drawing the unlock screen, there is a big lag till the home screen comes up huge lag in opening programmes or menus
so, the only app i recently installed was the BA (british airways) android app. could this have affected the whole phone?
what steps can i take to check what might be wrong?looking at the SPARE PARTS app, i can see that CPU usage shows a huge bar for "init".i don't know if this is a normal process? anyone got info on this? might have nothing to do with my phone lagging of course.
I've been adding, and uninstalling, I've been noticing some installed apps that I don't seem to be able to add to my screens, or use.
I was wondering what these were.
They are: -
Rosie Utility
Teeter
and
Street View (Okay I KNOW what this one is, but how do I add it to Google Earth/Maps)
Also I've noticed that on the pattern lock screen. There is a message that says, "This phone belongs to". How do I personalise this with my name?
Just watched this video about the screen responsiveness on the Desire vs the Samsung Galaxy S. These are the two phones I'm considering, so I just wanted people's opinions on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVlsRCMltDg&feature=player_embedded
View 24 Replies View RelatedAnyone know of a widget to simply lock the screen or put into sleep mode by pressing something on the screen rather than pressing the power button on the top of the phone. Tried looking around and unless I'm missing something (I am particularly good at missing the obvious!) there doesn't seem to be anything that does just that. Anyone know/come across anything that will do this? Does anyone know if this might be included in 2.2?

Sometimes when you put it down it goes onto desk clock or weather. ~Presume it does not has a shake to change screen facility or anything.Maybe its just me, the screen is very sensitive.It's just done it again, picked it up and it moved off the HTC scene onto weather.

View 20 Replies View RelatedAfter the screen goes off after 1min (or whatever you have it configured to) is the only way to get it back on to press the power button at the top of the phone? I find it a little awkward - can't I just press the button on the bottom front of the phone?

Does this mean anything?It's HBoot 0.83, and dated June 10 2010.
View 19 Replies View RelatedYesterday I updated my HTC Desire to 1.21 ....And today I noticed that when i have the screen with more white than any other color (like the notification screen for example) the screen flickers, and it does this with little horizontal lines...
I also realized 2 things:
1. it flickers when the automatic brightness is on and I am inside (so the brightness was set to under 25%)
2. It flickers with battery fully charged once the voltage got under 4.08v, it stopped..
Has anyone seen this on the desire after the update or before? Is this normal? Is my phone faulty?
Is there any way to prevent the screen from sleeping while downloading stuff or playing games?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been reading through the manual for the Desire and it states that you can have a different lock screen wallpaper to the wallpaper when the screen has been unlocked.
However, I can't seem to manage this at all.
Does anyonw know if this is possible or if it is an error in the HTC manual?
The reason being I would like to have a nice bright lock screen image but a normal black background for when apps and widgets are all over it.
My question is: is it only the power button on top of the phone that activates the screen from sleep mode?Also, how do i get the weather widget location to update to my current location as i move around the county/country?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just noticed that there is a lot of dust under the screen on my phone, ive had it about 10 days now and it lives either in my pocket or on the desk. Has anyone else had this on the desire yet? Should I try to take off the glass front or try to use the one months free insurance (which is probably worthless) that Vodafone made me have?
View 39 Replies View RelatedI have received three Desires and all have had dust under the screen. It's white and almost looks like a tiny hair. You really have to look to notice it, but once you know it's there it is rather annoying. I just wanted to see how many suffer from this problem on their Desire. In order to check properly, your phone needs to be off or in standby mode. Wipe away all excess dust on the screen and look very carefully. Post your findings in this thread and vote in the poll. Feel free to post information about how long you have had your phone, if it's built up over time, was present as soon as you took it out of the box, your location and network.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have troubles using my phone's GPS. The GPS location option on my phone is enabled of course. If I try to get my location using the GPS Status application for example it's impossible for me to get a lock. It doesn't even find a single satellite. Also the GPS icon does not show on top of the screen. Any help on this? I tried looking it up in the manual and on Google but found nothing really.

View 13 Replies View RelatedDirectly in the center of my screen there is a little white fleck, it looks like the tiniest peice of paper, about half a mm in size. At first i thought it was a dead pixel but when i locked the phone it is still there which suggests that it is dust/paper/other. I do not know how it got in there so i do not know how i can get it out, it doesn't move at all so it won't simply fall out any time soon.

Is it normal for the screen to go off?
Sorry Mods but searched and could not find any answer so:- Whilst "sat" waiting for my NON 3G/NON Wifi screens to load when trying to "surf the internet" I find that my screen light goes out! Is there a way or an app that keeps my screen light on for as long as I want it to?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to turn off the screen and lock the phone fairly often, and am getting fed up with groping for the power button on the top. I am also worried that, over time and regular use, it will stop working. I am looking for a simple application that will do it for me - at least turn it off, I suspect that turning on will be more of a challenge. Has anyone found a simple one that will do that for me - all the ones that ought to do it on the Market seem to be very complicated with lock screens and skins and so on
