As I found out with my HTC desire having a white status bar with a amoled screen can lead to this, note the faint line at the top of the phone, this picture is after only a few months of using a white status bar, imagine how bad it could get after a year! Having a black status bar would avoid...

I don't know how well known this is, but I just noticed this. If you have 'stop app via long press' enabled in settings, applications, development and you hold back on the home screen your phone will reset. I found this very useful as it only takes about 5 seconds to reset instead of nearly a...
