[Milestone 2 General] devilbatghost:
It seem milestone 2 rom development is nearing its end.. i think devs are already growing tired of this phone... the culprit is still motorola for not unlocking the bootloader which should already been unlocked coz of the phones age..IMO there's no future on milestone 2 at all... I just want to thank every dev that created roms for this phone but honestly all milestone 2 user's should change their main phone and just make milestone 2 for your secondary.. Thanks again DEVS.. :)
[Milestone 2 General] lillo95:
why??? i love my MS2 and i don't want change it!!!:mad::mad:
[Milestone 2 General] CesarRamina:
Maybe you're right. We were moved to the area Legacy & Low Activity Devices:eek:
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
Not putting any pressure on devs future work, but I feel like a winner using these custom roms, in response to Moto's obnoxious way of "upgrade" to customers. So I will be very happy with each custom rom upgrade released by the devs, hope the low activity section do not be a real trouble to us.

Thank you devs, you make our days better.
[Milestone 2 General] thiagomtl:
Totally agree with you lampwarez.

I'm very grateful for the dev's work so far.
[Milestone 2 General] Regaddi:
Just being moved to "low activity section" does not mean, that we're dead.

We MS2 user's are just a small minority compared to e.g. SGS user's ;)

And so, we can't reach as much activity, as the SGS user's do.

We're just a little family :D
[Milestone 2 General] VooDooKill:
"the end is near" amen bro.!! :(
[Milestone 2 General] scoffyburito:
So bad time for me to buy a ms2?

AOKP 4 LYF (possibly CM7 aswell)
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Ye. Totally. Look for new devices released Q4 last year or this year.
[Milestone 2 General] Ineedtoys:
Surely that depends on the price? Less popularity means lower used prices means you get a hell of a lot for your money - the MS2 is still a very capable phone (with few other competitors if you need a keyboard) even if ROM development has dried up. Though you would be daft to buy new with a contract.

On the other hand, if you are bothered about trade-in value, it is probably best to act sooner rather than later if you are planning on an upgrade.
[Milestone 2 General] CesarRamina:
I really hate the virtual keyboard since I had an iPhone. Physical keyboard is more than necessary to me, and this makes me with few options. My hope is that the "Googarola" (Google + Motorola) develops mobile phones with more constant updates, or, maybe an attack of "generous kindness fever" gift us with upgrade to our obsolete MM2 ... :D
[Milestone 2 General] scoffyburito:
Yeah just wondering if i should *upgrade* from the galaxy ace
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
I must say, that moving M2 to Legacy & Low activity devices shocked me. It looks like the M2 is old (legacy) just about month (or two?) after I've bought it... Uh. It does not look good.

I would not buy this phone again now :/
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
Actually this phone is sold since Q4 2010, a reasonable time for a smartphone these days.

I do not like to change phones so fast, i.e. I still have a working, totally tweaked, SL65 (Q2 2004).
[Milestone 2 General] ZyrByt:
I think our ms2`s are now "low activity" rather than "legacy" :) But if bootloader remains locked, they will be obsolete.
[Milestone 2 General] CesarRamina:
I even agree that MM2 is obsolete in market terms, but still a good machine and deserves a chance to bypass this planned obsolescence in the industry. In my opinion (and taking consideration that there has been official upgraded to 2.3.6) the only chance for survival of this unit would be focusing efforts for porting ICS as soon as possible, making the MM2 one of the few phones with this system working properly. It would be a survival by at least one more year.

Unfortunately I am not a programmer, but I have tried every version of CM9 coming out, and try to show errors that occur. I can only thanks and encourage developers like tezet, rondoval, Endless7 as well as many others.

Thank you DEV's.
[Milestone 2 General] _anto_:
Actually, the other reason for me to register to xda-developers.com is that downgrade to "Legacy & Low Activity Devices". So maybe I can help making the activity on this device higher. I am not sure though how will I be able to do that. :)

And by the way the OP is right. I make Milestone 2 as my secondary phone. My primary phone is Milestone 1 (A853) running CM7 7.2.0 RC1 from kabaldan. :D
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Why do you prefer M1 over M2?
[Milestone 2 General] _anto_:
From what I have experienced:

1. It is more hassles changing the custom ROMs on Milestone 2 than Milestone 1

2. There are more problems on Milestone 2 than Milestone 1, even with the exact same minimal sets of apps

3. I have less problems and more stable using CM9 on Milestone 1 than Milestone 2

4. I prefer Openrecovery (Milestone 1) than the CWM backported from Defy (Milestone 2)

5. There is no console function on the recovery of Milestone 2 like in Milestone 1

6. I will add if remember more :D
[General Accessories] jstrayy:
I love my new Bluetooth headset, works great... only bad thing is that apparently I have super small ears. I contacted LG and they said that at this time they do not make any smaller ear bud replacements. So my question to the community is, if anyone has bought these and has my same problem, what are some replacements I can buy that are good quality? Thanks for your input in advance guys, and I hope I can find an answer soon, this pain is ridiculous :(
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Not sure if this is allowed, so if not, moderators please close it. I HAD my Evo Shift 4G rooted then stupidly accepted an OTA update that undid it. Now I'm using a jailbroken iPhone 4S...and I'm not crazy about it. The downgrade and rooting process looks horrid and not something I really want to deal with...but I really need free wifi hotspotting. So, anyone who has done this a bunch of times want to earn a little $$? I could send my Shift plus money, let you root it, and send it back? Thoughts?
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
I'm sure there are numerous people on here that would be willing to take your money. But if you do a little searching you might run across some simple scripts that are really no harder a task then rooting froyo.

[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
we have no scripts for the newest ota
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:

[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
I don't know if you've heard, but A method was just discovered on how to downgrade the bootloader so we can gain S-off and root. (Flash all those wonderful kernels, and ROM's ;)) - Take in mind this is for the EVO 3D

Now I am not vastly experienced at all, but this method for the EVO 3D required us to brick (yes I said BRICK) our device...intentionally to put it into a emmc_recover mode so we can force a new hboot through in Linux.

Now I guess what I am trying to say here is that, compared to the EVO 3D (and all kinds of other devices) the Shift is a baby gain root access on.

And I am not saying this to sound mean, but more of so you can save cash (unless your donating to developers :D) DON'T pay someone. Read up,Look at video guides, Do it yourself. I know it sounds confusing/scary but it helps in gaining knowledge and it is honestly not that bad on the forefront.

/nice rant done
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Yeah mean I'll be happy to take your money, but it's really not rocket science. Maybe I'll re do the videos again.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Andy:
I've been watching this one for a while, just in case ;)

Here's my 2 pence, the community for this device is great. I've mentioned this before.

Anyone "could" come along and say they'd do it for you and just take the handset and the money. But no-one has. Fantastic.

The guide linked to above is your best choice in rooting. There is a video also.

If your not comfortable in doing this, then I'd just hold back and see if an "easier" method pops up. But there are no guarantees.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I completely agree with andy. Plus There's always the fact that Rooting the device yourself is just the start. Later on you may want to do other mods. It helps to have rooted the device yourself. You gain confidence in your abilities, and also learn some of the basic skills you will need later on when modding Android. Reading, asking questions, and gaining as much information as you can is one of the keys to becoming more comfortable with modding your device.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
I really love how everyone came together when that evil_devnull guy was on here trying to scam people for a batch root script that didn't even work well (before you became mod here). It was really lame.
[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
You should of been around in the EVO 3D forums whenever the bounty was announced to get s-off on the device .he just wanted the bounty and tried all the old methods everyone else had already tried .
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Hahaha that's hilarious. Who ended up figuring out s-off for 3vo?
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Yeah, I was one of the one who "bought" the script. Boo!

Anyone have a favorite video player? I want something that will play all types of files, like MP4, AVI, MKV.

Aside from finding the 'best' one, a problem is when I download something like MX Video Player, I see all these add-on apps like codexes that are for specific processors. Which should I choose?

Thanks for any help or advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Josheek318:
I think this question was already answered in another forum... but I downloaded MX Player and didn't have to install any codecs. For my atrix the mx player app prompted me to download... i think the armv7. But for the note, everything just played fine. I didn't get to try mkv's though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GRishi:
MX Player can play 1080p mkv's just fine in hardware mode.

I use that in conjunction with file manager with samba support to stream from my NAS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
Another vote for MX player. I've even uninstalled the stock video player and just use the MX player for my main video player.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
MX player will automatically prompt a codec download if needed. You don't need one with the Note.

Dice player is another good one but it had some slight lag when I was watching a movie which was disappointing. That never happened to me before with dice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] derrick_:
Loving vlc alpha. No pros in software or hardware mode with a 720p movie for 3+ hours.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
Yeah MX seems to be a bit jittery with my .MPG files... it wont even play them in HW mode, i have to use SW mode.. and even then i have to use SW Mode Fast Decoder to get it to play properly

however the quality looks excellent to me. I'm still amazed by this f*ckin screen. 1000x better then my atrix.

MX Player has been working great for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Rockplayer and dice play everything I need.

Mx player will attempt to play anything you throw at it. I used it until I realized that's not necessarily a good thing. It will play files that it can't play well...with no video, with audio sync issues, at half desperate, or down-scaled. Not what I wanted.

I use CIFS Manager to mount windows shares locally. This give you access to more players. If you have issues, a TVersity install may be an option.

Hello,

I am using SGS with Dark Knight 3 ROM. I like the clock app, which only shows a digital clock in screen and it's a nice alternative to the black screen when I am frequently watching time.

The problem is that after 2 min (or after the minutes I chose in options) the phone locks and the screen goes black.

Is it possible to change that?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deveron3:
Right, so first: Have you unlocked your bootloader?

Second: Is your phone sim-unlocked? (In other words, are you able to use a sim card from another carrier in your phone?)

Third: If you haven't gotten your x10 sim-unlocked you're going to have to relock your bootloader.

Here is the tool to relock your bootloader.

Fourth: Assuming the above is all true, you need to sim-unlock your phone. You can either contact your cell carrier (if you bought the phone from them), or use one of the paid services online. I don't know which service can do it because I went with the cell carrier route ;)

If you are traveling and need to use GPS, but maps are loaded on a external card and you have your viewpad charging on lighter outlet.

or (my case) you have some serious amount of text to write and you need the keyboard connected as well as your wall mount charger....

Is there any known way to connect the battery charger and a peripheral as keyboard or usb mass storage device at the same time?

I'm thinking about some surgery to the usb-to-miniusb converter that I use to connect my desktop type keyboard to the viewpad, but don't know what could happen to the usb device or the keyboard. Neither know which of the 5 pins (contacts) of the charger is the active one...

Any suggestions?

Tnx in advance.

Ok... since there is no answer over 24hrs, I'll make another question to make this a little more interesting for you people could help me...

Is there any chance to connect a keyboard (already working) plus a SD card at the same time??

I'm making some fun stuff with a keyboard and making some surgery I could install some kind of "external USB Port" on the keyboard.... but, should it work?? I mean, keyboard and flash memory together, connected to one-single miniUSB port....

Developers.... any suggestion??

Ok, easy people... That bunch of comments about my topic make s me feel kind dizzy...

Just kidding....

Making some research (on goggle, haha!!), I've found that USB port on a pc have a 5volt-500mA output... So, if that's nominal out and that power could charge the viewpad AND don't turn on smoke any peripheral, Then I just have to connect power out on a wall-mount charger to the 1st pin (wire) of a 5 contact miniUSB, regarding on the power out put on 500mA.

(thanks isIran for your assistance :rolleyes: )

now... PLEASE SOMEONE STOP ME IF I'M HAVING SOME IDIOTIC, TABLET BRICKING, IDEA!!!!

:D

Thnx again
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] claudioggs:
Hi,

The Viewpad wall charger have a non standard conector, if you look in the contact part you will see double connection.

In the main charger body you will find the pinout:

Pin 1 & 6 +, pin 5 & 10 -

These pins (6&10) are longer than the data pins to ensure that the power connections mate first and un-mate last.

The wall charger is 2 A and the USB PC port only 0.5A (0.9A for USB3)

For this reason a wall charger change in 2 hours and a PC USB in 15 hours.

A dedicated USB charger should short the 2 data lines together. The device will then not attempt to transmit or receive data, but can draw up to 1.8A

for this reason the device know when it's connected to a computer or to a dedicated charger (like a Garmin GPS)

Probably modifiying a connector (or keyboard) to provide energy and data will work.

Did you try a USB hub?

Less us know the result of your experience.

cheers
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] ecossais:
You could solve the keyboard problem by using a bluetooth keyboard and you can charge the tab on the USB port at the same time.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Dr.Lota:
Right, this solve one problem, but is much expensive and less fun... Besides, didn't solve the flash drive plus charger issue...

About pins 6 &10... Just noticed that (in over a year never look that closer the charger pin).

I'll try usb hub, but I'm afraid to burn some flash drive or worst...

Thanx for your interest and helpful advice...
