[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Anil_Trinidad:
This may be a dumb question. I read in another thread that a charger with less current output may not harm a phone, but it will just take longer to charge. I'm wondering if a blackberry charger rated at 5.0V, 750mAh can work safely on the milestone? The original milestone charger is rated at 5.1V, 850mAh. I haven't tried it yet though...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
I use my girlfriend's charger to charge my Milestone all the time. The way I see it, so long as the output is not greater than the Motorola-shipped one, then I should be fine.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
I used a friend's Nokia charger multiple times - and it's rated 5V and 1200mA - no damage either.

The Milestone is designed to be content with Moto's 850mA charger - so if a charger CAN deliver more - it doesn't mean the Milestone does receive more.

On the other hand - I did no longterm tests to see if the Milestone CAN charge quicker with a more powerful charger.

Long story short - as long as the charger doesn't exceed 5V (which will be hard to accomplish using an unmodified USB cable - you don't have to worry about anything.

If it fits -> plug it in ;-)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] IanTester:
If it's a USB/micro-USB charger, it will work. The current rating on the charger is the maximum it's capable of supplying. It's up to the device how much of that will be drawn.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] afonsolage:
Well, I have a few experience with charges on my Milestone. In this case, it has no problem for you Milestone...but it will take more time to charge then other charger.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] m0jo:
I have posted this before in another thread..

As long as its a USB-Port, you can charge everything that is charged via USB. They are all (basically) the same. Its like plugging your device into the USB-Port in you computer. You wouldnt worry about plugging something in there. Same applies to Car-Chargers.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] afonsolage:
My neighbor lost his n900 becouse he pluged his phone on a Car-Charger....he didn't saw that the Car-Charger is 12v....

In my option, it important to check the volts before plug it on your phone and yes, you need to worry about plugging something in there...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] DouglasK:
I use a charger for my work BlackBerry to charge my Milestone on a regular basis without issue.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] m0jo:
mh. 12v is very uncommon. Idk, at least here in Germany (more or less whole european union) you dont have to worry about voltages. There is even a EU-Law that all phone charges can be used for every phone (USB-Based).

Sorry i dont know about the situation in T&B.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
Either the Charger was violating the USB specifications (if he used a USB cable) or it coincidental used the same plug as Nokia used for their old phones.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] darkhole:
I think that is OK, I had used BlackBerry chargers, ZTE chargers and Alcatel.. Different specs, but works OK (some of them slower than others, but are OK).

I think that there is no problem with that, just take a look to charge a phone using the PC and micro usb data cable.. Every coputer give to you different voltages and amp, but always works!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
Errrm, no.

USB always has to give 5V - more than that can cause serious damage.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] nlabrad:
The only problem with diffwrent chargers could be the current dofference, but with lower current capable chargers lile the motorola v8

Do you mean the dock? At the bottom of the screen? Get a non-sense rom. Or use a launcher like golauncher ex or something.

*insert sig here*

I'll try!!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pfaffinator:
coredroid is a themed rom and will not let you change the dock. skins work with sense 2.1

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
I just flashed the latest MIUI 1.9.2. I like it so far, but the flash wiped my netarchy kernel with one that is incompatible with Voodoo.

So, which Kernel is generally regarded as the best for MIUI for battery life, audio, and well, everything?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfghjkl:
Im using the trinity kernel and it runs great. Smooth, fast and great battery life...then again ive only been on MIUI and trinity kernel for about 2 days lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
I'm running netarchy kernel and it runs really good. Also bugless Pete and matrix are also very good for me. Just test them out and see what's best for you
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oleerik:
Ive tested a few. Lucid is my favorite :) It totally depend on your needs tbh
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.grafix:
Bugless pete kernel is the best , as BrainMaster himself uses it in his rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainmaster:
I personally use Trinity TUV10 - for me the best kernel.

BuglessPete's is included only because some people can't boot Trinity, and BP kernel is better then the stock one.

But TUV10 is the best - my opinion.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Thanks. I may try your MIUI out today. So you recommend TUV10 over TUV11?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainmaster:
TUV10 30.08 from the second post in my MIUI ROM Thread.

Isn't that for verizon? So I would say no.

Ok thanks for the reply
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
Why don't you just use Google maps?
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Google maps has had me lost to many times it loses signal or thinks I'm on a different road especially in metro areas I was in Baltimore last week and i was on the correct route the out of nowhere it started to reroute.

ATT nav doesn't do it but its 120/year
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
ATT nav and VZ Navigator are basically the same based tele-atlas app I believe. I am not a fan of any gps app that has to have data to work. And I know that google maps can cache maps but it is a feature you need to set up ahead of time and when in need is when google maps usually fails.

Why don't you look into sygic or ndrive? Both use downloaded maps and require no data to use. Sygic is only around $24 for USA and they give you a free 7 day trial before buy. Ndrive also gives you a 7 day trial. Not as good as sygic but still a cheap alternative.

Both available on the market. Sygic uses tele atlas maps and ndrive uses navteq maps. Just FYI.
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Thanks for the heads up I actually did see sygic in the market I will download and try out

Thanks again
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Or activate Google labs and tell Google maps to pre cache your maps, it's a free option and I can attest to the fact that it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Can you let me know how you went about doing that
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Nevermind I got it thanks for the tip also
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
No prob
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckaroonee:
How 'bout Sygic Aura?

Have you ever thought about the Sygic Aura? There are some sites out there that will let you download the .APK file. Install it & then you just need a WiFi connection to download the maps & presto, your all set. It works great for me.

Good luck!
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
Im thinking to myself I love my Atrix its specs beat or match that of phones that just came out in the past weeks or due out in coming months.Now what specs would you say are future proof for ICS and new Dualcore super apps for android? IMO 1ghz Dualcore any chip or Soc don't matter 1Gig Ram but some might say 512 or 768 if you own a sensation being the way Android uses the Os how much is needed.Now when it comes to screen size well this is user based but screen Res I would say it changes some will say Qhd will be future proof but other devices like the nexus prime show a 720p screen so is that future proof? As far as storage we have 16 gigs built in witch is great beating the sensation and g2x along with others could this make our device or others with the same specs proofed some might say the OEMs play a part in updating but who knows my point is I would like 2 answers from you people the Atrix is it Proofed and what makes a future proof device at this point? I mean if you say that the Atrix is not proofed for what ever reason would mean your saying the photon / Sensation. / G2X / All Verizon dualcore phones/ Evo 3D are not future proofed so where is the line in witch we start to proof phones if there is any proof the way Android hardware moves it could be a game a made up word to keep us back for more when in fact a single core 512 device I.E. nexus S is very much Future proofed. WHAT YOU THINK?
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Nexus brand phones are always future proof as devs love working on them due to their stock nature. Other than that, it really just comes down to what phones are popular. I would not say the Atrix is future proof due to the fact that most devs abandoned the platform early in its life due to the locked bootloader. Even now the only roms we have are deoxed based ROMs and an unoffical CM7 port. It basically comes down to what phone is popular during each product cycle. For CDMA, it would be the thunderbolt at the moment. For GSM, it's the SGS2 by a landslide. Pretty much anywhere but this subforum, people are recommending the SGS2 as the android phone of choice if you are on a GSM network. It has a big dev following mostly due in part to how popular it is. People can argue all they want about how the Atrix is a superior phone, but the facts are that the Atrix flopped in sales whereas the SGS2 totally dominated globally.
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
Yea but what your talking about is choice im talking specs not whats hot being hot has nothing to do with future proof more less sales
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Devs do have a favor in future proofing a phone. Im sure development has slowed down a lot for nexus one and itll start slowing soon nexus s. But generally the most powerful phone have a chance at being future proof. The sgs2 is fixing to get left behind i think with next generation of phones. I didn't know they were titty babies about their pride and joy. Anyways, the first quad core and nexus are probably going to be where its at.

Iphone > galaxy s 2.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Devs have everything to do with futureproofing a device. Custom ROMs are the only thing keeping older devices up to speed since manufacturers/networks like to drop support after 12-18 months. Nexus one/S are still going strong despite how old they are due to very good google/dev support.

The SGS2 will get left behind like the Captivate has. And by that I mean by not much at all. Captivate dev is still quite active. SGS2 had huge sales, so devs will stay on board for the forseeable future.

Nexus phones are ALWAYS where it's at when it comes to futureproof phones.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
This is almost spot on to what I was gonna exactly say.

SGS still has a HUGE support following. Once something as small as 2.3.5 gets leaked, the SGS section will go crazy wuth updated ROMS just like it has with the previous FWs.

If you are an early adopter, you will are taking a gamble with ANY phone.

But with Android, IMO it is critical in terms of future proofing to find a phone supported by devs.

(For non XDA users I'd recommend Nexus, and nothing else)

Devs decide the lifespan of a device more than the hardware itself. Even the G1 and the OG Droid/Milestone still gets supported.

That's why many companies are changing their policies and leaving BL unlocked, because it's truly in their best interest... :)
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
That's a good point people are getting all worked up over the gs2 is there a list if future android apps that there can run on there phone and not any other phone ? Cause at days end we can run the same apps that make android Android
[Atrix 4G General] Anthonok:
no device is really future proof anymore. as has been stated already its up to the devs.

Sent from my Atrix running CM7
[Atrix 4G General] argoc:
I want the Atrix to live forever!

Maybe we should make it worth it for the devs to get involved. I've seen countless times communities placing a $$bounty for the dev/team that gets X feature working.

XDA forums should implement such a system. That way it would pay-off to dev for the underdog, since everyone else would be fighting for the pop/novelty.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
You missed the point of my posts completely. I am saying that the SGS2 will last far longer than the Atrix in terms of lifespan due to the simple fact that the SGS2 has a much bigger fanbase and therefore many more devs working on it.
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
They said the same thing about the Droid1. I've still got one of those for my work phone. I've completely uninstalled all nonstock apps just so the damn thing will run all day.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I agree with this line of thought as well. "Popular" phones continue to receive support for much longer, whether it be official or through the dev community. "Specs" can only get a phone so far on a technical scale but the incentive lies in where the money is at.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I was thinking this thread looked familiar. I noticed the OP had already started a thread based on almost the same premise here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1241063

The reason I bring this up is this forum has become redundant enough just with noobs but to have the same person basically ask the same question

to do it by starting new threads, well.....:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Meh I recently sold my Motorola Milestone (GSM Droid). I had no problems running it on stock Froyo at all with plenty if Apps installed on my SD.

The "only" reason why I sold it was because it still had resale value. I got $200 for it, which wasn't that much less than what I originally paid for it.

Otherwise the OG Droid/Milestone is "still" a solid device... :)
[Atrix 4G General] karnovaran:
"Future-proof" to me is:

1. can it run everything? (i.e. processor/graphic intensive apps)

2. will it get stable CM? (this would likely ensure ICS)

The Atrix certainly gets a check for #1 and seems likely to get a check for #2. That's enough for me to keep from chasing after the next big thing. We'll likely get ICS from the CM team and keep chugging well into 2012.
[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
i believe that the Atrix is future proof, but u kno a lot of people are bandwagon users, i've seen so many of them in the Atrix forum. As before the atrix came out, they were claiming it was gonna be the best phone to come out this year(which i think it is OVERALL so far), then some moved to the inspire and tried to call the Atrix crap until they used it the inspire for a while, found out it wasn't better, then came back to the Atrix saying it's the best, now the SGS2 is coming out and now their calling the Atrix crap smh....Now i seen the SGS2, it's a nice phone, but in OVERALL specs, i would have to say that the Atrix is better, but that's my opinion. Yea the SGS2 has a nice screen, but i think the Atrix's Qhd looks better(some may agree some may not), another reason is the Atrix having the largest STOCK battery(yea i know their's extended batteries, but they make your phone look bulky and you'll have to use a different back cover and most likely won't be able to use the case you once had) in a phone to date which helps when i'm goin on trips, having a busy day, etc. without having to carry around a charger or extra battery. There's plenty of other comparisons that i could make, but don't feel like going down that loooong list of stuff. I am nowhere near biased in my opinions, i never said that the SGS2 didn't have any advantages over the Atrix, i went on OVERALL specs, i might end up getting the SGS2 or the new Nexus device when they come out after i see watch multiple reviews to weigh out their pros and cons, but i don't know......maybe
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
For me the only device capable of being "future proof" is the device you feel more comfortable with, for work, play, lesisure and whatnot whithout sacrifices*.

In my case the Atrix has been a great device (and a keeper) because i can:

1. Mod it

2. Play the latest and greatest THD games.

3. Simplify my work with Logmein and such through the pretty convinient Lapdock accessory.

4. Great battery life

5. Great photo and video camera for those quick shots of the family

6. Use it without ugly, bulky bullet-proof casings because the battery cover is easily replaceable and very cheap to get and it basically protects the corners of the phone, which for some reason are the prime spots that get damage by use on any phone.

7. Great specs (RAM, Storage, qHD LCD Screen, Huge Battery, Expansion< etc)

* And when I mentioned 'without sacrifices' I meant that I can use my device without fear of wearing out the screen like on other devices that make use of such 'wonderful' AMOLED, S-AMOLED and variants that degrades over time.

Cheers!

Rayan
[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
Although I want devs to continue using and creating new stuff this great device, it really just doesn't matter too much for me down the road. I know I'll still have this phone 3 years from now doing the same thing I use it for today. Games, Netflix, Youtube, and browsing the web.

I don't upgrade my phone much, but I believe this time it was a great choice. When it boils down to it, as long as it plays all the new games a year or 2 from now from the market, it's still a great device for me.

Emulators are already possible for the Atrix, so it's not like I'm going to run out of games to play. Which is why I hated my iPhone 3g so much. That device would have never ran PSX games like my Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] stevako:
Nothing is future proof. As I type this message it's old news.. We should look at the things we do daily with our devices the common things, can you type a text message faster? Are you gonna post a Twitter response faster? Majority of people aren't past needing a great device like the Atrix. I mean the iPhone 4S isn't killing the Atrix as far as specs go. Camera on the iphone will be nicer not to do the mp but the overall optics. Just my 2 cents...this post is already not future - proof
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Devs have more to do with future proofing a phone than specs. That's why the SGS board is still popular, and why people still have fun with the Nexus 1.

Specs become outdated as soon as a new phone comes out. The real lifespan comes from the Devs.

Thank those guys whenever you can, since they are the ones that truly adds replay value to your phones...
[Atrix 4G General] nikidorian:
Basically future proof phone is SGSII for few reasons. First its fast, more people have it (that's because its available in more counties), and its the fastest phone out of the box (Samsung has optimized the software for their processors). Atrix for unfortunately is not so future proof because its available in 4-5 countries, has BAD reputation due to its 2.2 out of the box with motoblur (even I don't like it and i have one).

AND STILL IT ALL DEPENDS ON DEVELOVERS INTEREST IN A DEVICE (SO REWARD THEM). AND IN THE END THERE'S NO FUTURE PROOF PHONE AS COMPANIES COME UP WITH NEW WAYS TO IMPROVE AND MAKE PHONES BETTER.
[Atrix 4G General] kimmikolter:
Agreed. I can't stand SGS2 people. They are worse than the iPhone lovers.
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
When it comes down to specs and only specs....yes, the Atrix is future proof. As for the devs....having CM available (although its still in beta) for the ATRIX is helpful in keeping it future proof
[Atrix 4G General] IUH1991:
I think the longevity of this phone will be enhanced once cm7 is finalized because it'll make way for miui and other aosp roms
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
I'm positive that the Atrix people are far worse than the SGS2 people. I even own an atrix. People on this board believe that the Atrix is the best phone in existence and has little to no faults. They also love to compare apples to oranges and often do not debate rationally. And no, no one is worse than iPhone fanatics. They say the craziest BS.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
I disagree. Iphone fans blow the most smoke up your ass. Gs2 force it up yours even if its true. Atrix fans i dont know. But development seems to be somewhat stagnant for it and that doesnt bode well for its future. I doubt ics is bring any revival to the atrix. Webtop development on other phones might. And hdmi mirroring possibly.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] malickie:
The Simple fact is it all depends on the user. If the user likes webtop and having a seperate HDMI Port With a Cable Included etc than this phone has an edge over the SGS2. If your someone that Always has to have the latest greatest phone with slightly better specs than its the SGS2. Also ever device will sooner or later Die to devs because they Like to keep up with technology. I mean hell next year it will be which QUAD Core cellphone is future proof etc etc until cellphones get to a dead stop just like your home PC's are starting to do. After that who knows what we will be using for your PC/Cellphone/Texting/Movies etc. It will probably be some sorta hologram thing lol.
