HTC Desire HD…please make my smart-ass phone into a smarter phone

Hmmm….now why did I not publish this earlier on…

It’s the most wonderful phone, it’s a kind of electronics swiss army electronic gadgetry:

– Sat nav

– movie and still camera

– music player

The trouble is that it is smart ass phone, you know some that talks the talk , but lets you down.  The problem is that a phone that needs charging several times in the day, for you to be sure that you will be able to make and receive phone calls. The problem is power consumption, using Juice Plotter, I can report that power consumption is about:

25%battery /hour on use

15-25% battery/hour if you leave it lying around without shutting stuff down

Various kind people have suggested some solutions:

– Carry around a spare battery

– Carry around a USB charger

– Switch off sat nav, bluetooth, wifi, GSM data, all apps (apart from the music player!) before putting the phone into sleep mode

What I think that would be MOST USEFUL

an app

– that shuts everything sat nav, bluetooth, wifi, GSM data, all apps (apart from the music player!) down , wakes up every 15 mins and kills anything that has snuck in again and started up

– when you go into sleep or after 15 mins inactivity

– with really clear and obvious controls

– and does not do anything else

Which is clearly testable, and clear what it is doing, most people who use this will have been thoroughly “burnt” by the Android “power problem”, it has to work and seen to work, quickly

I have got to the situation, that I am considering selling my phone, despite its many excellent features, so I am prepared to spend money on this application

I need a smart phone,

not a smart-ass phone
