| ![]() My Galaxy Ace is running hot. And battery life is not too much also. Is it common? Oh Yeah, I have been playing Angry Birds a lot. But then I also used to play a lot of "Brothers in Arms" on Nokia E63. It never ran hot or went low on battery. Last edited by download2live : 11th May 2011 at 12:55. |

| ![]() So I finally got K-9 mail working on my MS Exchange (2007). For the benefit of others, here are the settings that I used: Username: MSDOMAIN\USERNAME (this is the same syntax you use while logging in to your PC when you boot up / after you unlock it. To see this, press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL) Exchange Server: mail.domain.com Security Type: SSL Port: 443 Mailbox Alias: username@domain.com OWA Path: (keep this blank) Authentication Path: (keep this blank) |

| ![]() Nishant, Its Eclair. But not for long ![]() Exchange was configured in the standard email widget - I said corporate account, gave user id, domain, server settings and it was done. Email looks beautiful compared to the E63 - good riddance! Got the TBHp app too ![]() |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() My Ace (bought less than 3 weeks ago) is not showing any of these problems, although I do not play Angry Birds... But, I do play other games, and watch a lot of Streaming Videos. I am quite a heavy user (both phone and internet), and my battery typically lasts 24 hours, before I need to charge. |

| ![]() Google has announced the android@home project. It will enable to control your home appliances from your android device, apparently. There is some real hype out there over it. |

| ![]() It is not just NFC. It is more of an open API to interact with hardware controllers, that is what I get from what I read. Besides Nokia was there for a long time doing symbian and we know what happened after Android ! |

| ![]() One thing is that the technology is not new. The other ofc is that one platform has failed but a new one works. Let's not mix both. In other news, the Defy is successfully rooted. Here's the screenshot of Quadrant via ShootMe: ![]() ![]() but the previous attempt (on full battery) was 1034! ![]() Let's see when I get GingerBreaded! |

| ![]() Oh speaking of GingerBread Custom ROM et al - here is a chronicle of my adventures with the Motorola Defy. All this bricking business has got me worried. So here I am chronicling it: Motorola Defy Ownership | FreeRiding Currently, downloading & backing up the nandroid backups lest something be bricked during the installation. About 400mb of data on its way. NOT for the non-geeks or the faint of heart. Last edited by phamilyman : 11th May 2011 at 23:40. |
