I got this fone a month back..a good phone..but I have encountered 3 big problems..remidies welcomed..

1.battery life is very bad.

2.the camera lens part gets heated up while multi tasking or when the phone is on charging mode. Why??

3.wi-fi connection was all good but since 3-4 days it's not getting connecting and while opening it the phone hangs and then a HTC error sending option appears which is way too irritating. Why it is happening?? What is the remedy??

Venkatsandeep, 14 Nov 2013Can anyone help me out in increasing the battery backup , :( And when are the updates comin... moreto increase battery backup turn off
gps
wifi
bluetooth
NFC
brightness manually 50-60%
Auto sync off
most imp is change the backlight time to 30 sec.

these should increase you battery backup.

if you are not a heavy game player then turn on battery saver mode too. and if you continuously use data connection for whatsapp and FB messenger then uncheck the option "turn off data when screen is locked" in power saver setting and now you can use power saving all the time.

hope it helps.

I mean if John (owning HTC desire 500) is calling Peter while Peter is on another call, will John be notified that Peter is on another call so as John will hang up and call later? I'm sorry for the long story :)

One last question if you are kind enough :)

Does the phone show (outgoing call waiting notifications)? That's if you are calling a person while this person is on another call, will your phone inform you with a (waiting call) message that lasts for a couple of seconds or whatsoever??
