People in the US reporting it to HTC were being told it was "physical damage" outside the warranty.... If you're not curious, your brain is already dying...if not dead.

It's a standard part of Gingerbread Android. Go to Settings > About phone > Battery > Battery use. If you click the graph it expands.

Wow! That was well hidden. Many thanks. Again, this forum is a mine of wonderful information. My next mission is how to get 2.3.4 installed, so I can do video on google talk. I see lots of notes that htc is going to allow root access 'soon '. Maybe the next update, whenever that happens.

Congrats to lokhor who with that posted the 500,000th reply on Geekzone. Some prizes coming his way - and others... I will post more details tomorrow in a discussion of its own :) Mauricio Freitas (Geekzone Admin, Devil's Advocate, my blog, technology disclosure, my tweets, Web Performance Optimization) Geekzone Price comparison \| Amazon Kindle order page \| How to get the best out of Geekzone \| New Zealand IT Jobs \| Geekzone News \| Jinglebugs

lokhor: w00t! must be my lucky year You nicked my 500,000th post, you fiend. You wait, just you wait!!! Galaxy S has gone to its new owner. HTC Sensation running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, alpha AOSP ROM, on Telecom XT. Rough around the edges but showing much potential considering it's pre-beta. My daily driver now.

Hey Guys. I've just come back from the Telecom shop and was quite interested in the HTC until I questioned the guy about the messaging facility. Now I might be being a bit picky here but if I am paying between 500 and a thousand bucks for a phone then I would at least expect to be able to change the size of the font so I could actually read it. He reckons that all smart phones are the same. Please someone tell me this isn't the case??
