Can anyone confirm that there is support for last.fm scrobbling on 2.2? Cheers

Paul Obrian confirmed it worked with one of the earlier JP 2.2 firmwares, but sadly not working for me with JPK (I think thats the only thing remaining to make the music player perfect for my use). TuneWiki works with LastFM, I sometimes use that. Twitter: @nztechfreak Blogs: AndroidNZ.net

That's a pity, last.fm scrobbling support is important to me, since I use the phone so much for music. Overall I'm very happy to be done with iTunes and Apple, but there have been a few bugs with the player. Sometimes it just refuses to load a new song, but usually comes right when I restart the player. Am mostly happy with the phone for now so will probably just wait for the official release of 2.2.

Wow it's now October and no Froyo in sight apart from the beta leaks. I am disappointed.

ranton: Dropped my phone last night.. Gutted :( much damage? Mine stays in it's gel case now, my mate dropped his, then had the cheek to ask if he could have the back cover of my phone(because mine is hidden in a case) I have moved across the ditch.

ranton: Dropped my phone last night.. Crap. I've got a case for mine too. Actually I've got a couple, and a leather pouch. Just so I can swap and change on a whim :) Is it OK, did you drop it on a hard or soft surface? Hope it's OK.

Does the HTC Desire have better battery life than the Galaxy S? I'm lucky if my battery lasts from 7am to 5pm..

lokhor: Does the HTC Desire have better battery life than the Galaxy S? I'm lucky if my battery lasts from 7am to 5pm.. Far out, are you running anything extra to cause such crap battery life? That's probably the worst life I've ever heard of Are yuo in a shady 3g area? If you are it'll constantly be searching for the network Mine is usually 23-60 hours, depending on how long I use Wifi for, how long i play games, it'll last a day of net browsing through 3G, playign Air control for 20 minutes, playing a 20 min video and about 10-20 texts a day, maybe 3 phone calls You might have a bad battery, did you order it locally or abroad? I'd send it back or at least ask for a new battery I have moved across the ditch. Now residing in Melbourne as a VOIP/Video Technical Trainer/Engineer.

HTC Desire battery life is worse, by a reasonable margin (I own both). That said, your battery life is not representative, mine uses about 30% between 7am and 6pm, and thats with hourly Twitter/Facebook/weather updates, push email, full time RSS reader polling (it downloads the full stories too, so the amount of data it pulls is non-negligible), a few calls and texts, bit of browsing/WiFi/Games/Market use etc etc. Something is eating your battery, or its possibly faulty...

lokhor: Does the HTC Desire have better battery life than the Galaxy S? I'm lucky if my battery lasts from 7am to 5pm.. I've been suitably impressed with the battery life since going to JPK. I don't know if there was some settling in period for the battery to begin with (I've read elsewhere there is). Perhaps it's coincidental I've noticed it since flashing to JPK. Anyway I used to almost drain my battery to about 30% but now I often only use 30%. No gaming for me, but I check twitter, have my email, go to the market and fluff about with Foursquare every now and then. Mess about customising my phone and taking a photo here and there. I'm not a power user but given how poor the battery life was with the same habitual usage, it's a whole different experience now.

I'm using JuiceDefender. Not sure why my battery life is so poor. I have 2 extra batteries that I got with the wall charger I ordered and they are even worse. I'm running JM1 official with Voodoo Lagfix. My battery life has been terrible since I got the phone, at times it would run out around 2pm at work. My current battery stats are: 4h 12m since unplugged 75% battery left 32% used on Display 29% Android OS 15% Cell Standby 10% Phone Idle 6% Media server 3% Android System 2% Aldiko eBook Current Devices: Samsung Galaxy S3 Old Devices: SGS I9000, HTC Sensation, SGSII I9100, Asus Transformer Associate Editor-in-Chief for AndroidNZ.net TelecomTech is a sponsored blog reviewing the latest in communications technology.
