USB battery charging

hello everyone,

I was asking myself if there is a way to connect the milestone2 to a pc but without charging it.. this is because I don't want it to charge for 30sec-1min that are necessary to tranfer a file on it, because surely it's not good for the battery... no one tought about that?? I apologize if it sounds stupid, but I' new to the android world and I came from WM 6.5 where this option was present...
[Milestone 2 General] losaa:
I read that with modern batteries it does not matter if you charge it 1 min: the battery will keep its efficiency for a let's say 500 charge cycles. 1 charge cycle is defined by the full charge of the battery ( from 0-5% to 100%) but not necessarily in one straight charge. I.e. within the same charge cycle you can plug it charge untill 30%, unplug it, use the phone for a while, then charge it 1-2 %, and so on until the cumulated charge is 100%.

The funny thing is that my M2 does not charge at all on my laptop USB port ( not enough amps): so if you are still stressed about this charge issue ( i believe you should not) you can plug your phone through a non powered USB hub :).

Or you can transfer files via Wifi via FTP.. It's slower, but more comfortable and you don't have to worry about your battery.

If you install milestone2toolbox, it has a pretty nice overclock feature with some pretty decent preset.

Stock is 1000 mhz with 66 (I think?) Vsel, but even the overclocked settings are using a lower vsel, 60 or so I think.

Basically it's all trial and errror. Less is better for you battery, but if you go too far it will either freeze up and become very unstable, or the whole system will crash and your phone will power off.

And no phone is identical in what it can and can't handle.

For example I am running underclocked with these values:

300, 17vsel

500, 24vsel

600, 30vsel

800, 39vsel

I got these by slower dropping each value 1 vsel at a time and only selecting test. That way a could see if it was stable without it fully applying the values. Originally they were actually 1-2 vsel lower, but the next day started getting unstable. And 1350-1375 seems to be the max you can overclock, and honestly I think it performs worse than 1300 due to instability

Edit:

Poking around the development thread I found a table guide with all cpu speeds and vsel levels in the MIUI thread. It's on the last page there at the moment but with linked from the argen2stone 1.9 threads first page if you can't find it later
[Milestone 2 General] Zinamo:
Thanks everyone for your answers! Currently I use dropbox that is really great! Maybe in the future I'll use the non-powered hub... as for the battery, from my previous experience with WM devices I can say that despite what is said, it's always better to complitely discharge and then recharge the battery... I had an HTC touch pro and recharging the battery randomly made it last 2 hours after a while....
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Of course, but with dropbox it's going on dropbox servers with your internet upload speed (probably not so much high) and then from it to your M2 or computer via your DL speed, so it's probably quite slow. Am I right (I dunno, maybe dropbox determine same dropbox accounts on home network and transfer it directly)? But with FTP server it's goin' directly via your home network with speed of wifi (theoretically with 54Mbps speed or so).

But of course, it's possible to use dropbox also :)
[Milestone 2 General] WhatsUserName:
@DreadPirateDan

Thanks man it was really useful. I guess I'll leave one set at 1,2Ghz to play heavy games as Shadowgun and the other s underclocked, I read many times peoplo saying that battery lasts longer because underclock.
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
There's an app called AirDroid, it does pretty much the same thing as a FTP Server, too.

Last time, I used gingerbrake 1.2 to root, but now it doesnt seem to work :(

Any suggestions on how to root w/o too much hassle, I´m a bit of a noob for android?

thanks in advance,

P/s: sorry for my English !
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Try power+x, then @ or vol + and vol- together and then wipe cache and wipe data.

If it will not help, then try flashing SBF (enter bootloader mode via camera+vol- +pwr - in this sequence) via RSDLite.

Other issue: the camera has FC when I try to record. Take picture works, but the record not. :(

Thanks.

I have the same problem, the professors are here to help.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
1. It's not possible (for now?) to flash (any) custom rom or lower version (downgrade to Froyo i.e.) after flashing 2.3.4 (UK) GB... It doesn't matter how many times you will trying, it will not work. It works only from Froyo.

2. No.

You guys should have read more (before flashing any rom). It was already said here and there...

Milestone 2 w/ MUIU 1.12.02

Hi guys,

I just installed MUIU 1.12.02 on my Milestone 2 and was doing some tests.. two things that I was able to verify are:

- The screen gets unlocked before the physical keyboard is completely opened (not sure if I was clear.. lol)

- The mute fnuction does not work..

Is there anyone facing the same issues with MUIU? Any clue on what to do to have it correctly configured?

Thanks
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
I'm having the first issue (unlocking when sliding down keyboard) too and it is starting to be a bit annoying - but I didn't found solution yet. (but I didn't trying to find it in fact)

And the second issue... I can mute phone without problem... Just hold down dolume down and lower to minimum level or disable ringing in power widget. Both ways works for me.

But I have 1.18.18 build (older one, that yours)

And I think it would be best to solve this in MIUI topic in Android section with will5 (but I see, you don't have 10 posts yet).

Also I'm facing some random reboots last few days... But this can be issue of keyboard debouncer, 'cause it started after I enabled it... But I'm not sure and it is not THAT critical.

EDIT: I have that "black screen on call" problem too. Sometimes it just goes black on incoming call, which is quite annoying, because I can't answer it... :/
[Milestone 2 General] ssjmichal:
I also have problem with muting device, sometimes it works, the other time it does not.

I do have one more problem. When I make a phone call, right after pressing "Call" screen goes black (it turn's off like when you put device by your ear) - but I do nothing as I want to turn on speaker mode. And when it goes black I cant even turn the screen on by Power button. The only way is to slide the keyboard.

Is anyone having the same problem ?

uhm is possible flash froyo and then install cm7 or miui?
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
No it is not possible to downgrade to Froyo's kernel. That's why CM7 and MIUI are not working - because they are built on top of Froyo kernel.
[Milestone 2 General] diavolobianco:
uhm so then no solution for me except for ms2ginger argentstone and blurless moddem roms? Q_Q

Yes. Exactly. At least for now. MAYBE MIUI and/or CM7/9 will be available with GB kernel also in the future. But not now and it is not sureness - it is only hope for now.

Guys, i recently upgraded the asian froyo to uk Gingerbread.. The phone was work fine until recently (I don't know how could) the system become sluggish even more than the old froyo..

I read about doing wiping data/cache after rom upgrade so then i tried to enter recovery mode..but then got stuck in the exclamation mark.. I tried hold x+power 'till get there, released it when the exclamation mark comes out, then click the '@' button, but then there's nothing happened after it.. I tried hold '@' too but still fail...

Can someone help me why?

understood :(.

so when u flash a rom means that u just change a piece of operating system and not entire o.s.

i thuoght was similar when u format a personal computer and change s.o.

but i was wrong :(

so is not possible reinstall an old version of entire s.o. on the device?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JieeHD:
That's nothing to do with the rom, it's to do with the fact that youtube user's may stop their video from being allowed to be played via mobile, ie. same thing that happens basically when vevo blocks a video in your country.

I don`t think so JieeHD. I changed the rom and now is working perfectly. :| But I really liked that Villain rom.
[HTC Incredible S] White girl:
Only thing it is holding me back because it isn't popular phone so I might don't have much of support or any help for rooting, hardware issue or anything like that. I could just save $150 and go for HTC Desire, but I like 8mpx, front camera and the screen on HTC Incredible S. I like HTC Desire because it is quite popular and it has a lot of support, but Incredible S sounds and look much cooler.

Also excuse me for posting in wrong section, I couldn't find a correct section for general discussion of android phone (hardware).

EDIT: I posted this thread in both section Desire and Incredible S for unbiased opinion. :)
[HTC Incredible S] mrHD2:
Of course it's a good idea, because that's exactly what i just did :D

The screens better on the IS, just search on youtube. Better contrast and colour rendition.

Got nothing against the size of the HD, i might sell and buy a Sensation when released.

If you're on about the original Desire, it just now looks so outdated IMO.

I wouldn't consider Desire s, heard one to many nightmare stories of wifi dropouts.
[HTC Incredible S] White girl:
Can you root it and put a custom ROM? If so, does the guide exist?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
if you searched further than your nose long is, u had the answer on that ;)
[HTC Incredible S] xjianz:
Really depends on what you want to do with the phone. The screen display is a lot better than desire. If you just wanna a phone to use, IS is the choice. If you are a fun of installing custom ROMs, desire is probably a better choice. As far as I know, software rooting is not available yet for IS.
[HTC Incredible S] cruxidex:
if you are comparing stock to stock...

the major advantage of having an IS is the internal memory... on a fresh stock rom...

Desire would have around 147MB for you to use for all your apps.. and you have to spare 30MB for OTA updates purpose...

if you have IS you have 1.07GB on a fresh rom... so many apps you can install without any worries
[HTC Incredible S] _Flea_:
I switched last week from Desire to an IS.

I think it's a relief.

The screen is much better, it's a bit faster than the Desire.

Screensize is perfect for my pockets. Sound is pretty good.

Enough space for installing apps.

Also the touch buttons are cool.

Still I don't understand why this phone isn't that populair.
[HTC Incredible S] RobinRichard:
Dual cores

Becoz most people are keen on getting a dual core phone and they turn blind to see the features of the single core phones!
[HTC Incredible S] _Flea_:
At first I was looking at a dual core as well.

But after all I thought: what is the real benefit at the moment?

I mean, I don't call that much a month, use internet a lot, play some simple games, listen to music and that's it.

My Desire could handle all those things very good.

I must say that I'm very happy with my IS and I'm glad I didn't wait for a dual core.
[HTC Incredible S] thedosbox:
Bear in mind the Desire has some issues with multi-touch, and battery life isn't particularly good. It is readily rootable however, while some variants of the Incredible S are not.
[HTC Incredible S] nayak.aj:
My friend had a Desire nd i have an IS ... Go for the IS no doubt.. so fat the issues i ve seen in multi touch . battery life, screen , speed ( cause of RAM ) .. IS wins hands down

Hi There!

My wife, a doctor who is still studying, is wondering if there is a way she can use her new android phone to take better quality notes at lectures. Previously she was using a WM65 with Word, and taking text notes, but it was not possible or very difficult to add diagrams, or highlight important words, or draw arrows to particular things. Is there a great quality app that handles taking notes easier? Happy to pay.

Secondly, she has a forerunner watch which won't download her running data such as the track she ran, average speed, etc. Can she use her phone for that data collection and find a nice app to transfer it to her PC to view in a usable format?

We are also lastly looking for a cross platform (Windows 7, Android) shopping list application. Happy to pay, but would prefer one off cost. Needs to be simple and able to be shared across 3 devices nicely.
[Android Apps and Games] LuPoM:
I think Evernote could do the first and last thing, taking notes, with schemes (maybe, not sure) and make a shopping list, which is cross platform, since you make an account on Evernote's site, and you have the Windows' program and the Android application to keep track, and it's off cost up to a certain storage :)

Hope I've been of help, just look for Evernote on google!
