Hello folks, Just a few questions really to kick start me being on this list. :-)
I received my FreeRunner about a week or so ago and have just about got around to playing with it a bit more and actually using it. It's running FDOM based on recommendations, and picked up my Orange SIM and contacts without difficulty. A few issues I have had though: 1) Recipients of phone calls consistently seem to report a buzz / crackling during calls made from the FreeRunner. Apparently the buzz is particularly prevelant when I stop speaking, whilst I'm speaking the line seems to be clear enough - anyone suffered a similar issue and know / suspect it's cause? 2) Battery Life. I was warned by people before getting the phone that battery life wasn't great as of yet, and as I understand from what I have it is a fairly high priority. However, what do you folks do to maximise life out of your battery? The reason I ask is that with everything (bar GSM) turned off, and the phone mostly locked / on standby (30 second timeout for standby and blank screen are set up at the moment) I am struggling to get even 12 hours life out of it. To give an example from today, where I didn't get chance to glance at the phone whilst at work, it went from being fully charged at 08:00 (I took it off charge from the Desktop at that point) to being powered down and without the juice to startup at 16:30. So, what do you all do to get the most out of it, and what sort of life do you get? Whilst I can live with the battery as a work in progress, the crackliness would be interesting to find out if it's just my unit suffering, as it does make using it as my primary phone a little difficult!
