I love the new OTA. Only problems are lack of wallpaper and twitter widget FC'ing
[Droid Incredible General] IShootPixels:
Have you checked your ringtones and to see if it's running Flash 10.1? Having just gone back to the previous 2.2 leak I can tell you that if you go the Settings>Applications>Manage>All You do see Adobe Flash 10.1 listed whereas I didn't see it in this build.

That said, I really wish this build had the walls, ringtones, and Flash because I also like the original keyboard that it has. The one that I've just switched back to has the voice mic button instead of the keyboard button and I hate it for some reason. I think this is my last switch until the real OTA comes out and we see a solid build.
[Touch CDMA General] benutne:
Just found this while looking for a replacement for my touch screen on my Vogue. I've replaced my digitizer before but I've never replaced the whole case. Has anyone done this? Looks like a way to really make my Vogue new again. I might just buy it and try it out. Its $20 so no huge loss, eh? BTW, I'm in no way affiliated with the ebay seller. Just found it after a brief search.
[Touch CDMA General] jadesse:
If you decide to go that route the Elf Service Manual might be of some help.
[Touch CDMA General] benutne:
That's good to know that exists. I've taken my Vogue apart several times before to the replace just the digitizer but never gone past that which I'll need to do in order to replace everything. The idea of a brand new feeling phone sure seems nice. And this time I'm putting on a screen protector.

I have travelled to devon on Saturday and used Google maps navigation which is simply superb as u could see the traffic jams in advance (believe me there were plenty of them) I had my phone charger charging my desire but the battery drained still any idea why surely the charger should charge it or keep the power at the same level ?
[Desire General] mancuk29:
Anyone surely someone must know why the car charger hasn't enough power to charge the phone when running navigation and the normal phone functions
[Desire General] peosb:
I have no solution but I have the same problem. Quite frustrating.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
You need a charger that outputs at least 1000mA. Most in-car chargers only output 500mA, and so the phone will discharge quicker than the charger can charge it.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] dmpwd:
especially with some GPS apps that consume lots of juice...
[Desire General] mancuk29:
Any suggestions which are the best chargers ? Does anyone know what the new HTC dock will incorporate ?
[Desire General] mercianary:
Get a cheap USB cable extender, cut it in half and short the middle 2 pins. Don't remember what colours they are. Look on Wikipedia.

I had same problem. Not anymore. Charges properly when I plug in through the custom cable.
[Desire General] Tim_ZA:
Snap!

I didn't see your post before making mine (above) but my experimentation agrees fully with what you've said.

You can do it the way you've described, by modifying a cable, or you can do it inside the charger itself.

Just make sure that the cable going to the phone has all four USB wires in it. Some of them only have the two power wires, so the phone will never detect the short circuited data lines.

[Desire General] obones:
If you do not want to open your car charger, you can always create a male to female adapter that shots D+ and D- on the female side like the one in the attached picture

Obviously, the charger needs to be able to provide the 1Amps that are needed. If not, it will at best shutdown in protection mode, at worst fry completely with a great chance of fire...
[Desire General] Narco77:
Interesting stuff...

I bought an official HTC car charger and noticed that the included usb cable, when plugged into a pc, does not allow data transfer, only charging.

Can anyone explain that ? Why would there be a difference in the wiring ?
[Desire General] paprkut:
They want you to buy an official USB cable I guess ? Considering any microusb cable works I'm surprised they bother
[Desire General] obones:
Maybe because they just put the two VCC and GND wires in there, thus saving on the cabling cost.
[Desire General] _Crusoe_:
Ok how about this then......

I have a USB port I'm my car (to plug in music on a dongle I presume) if I use the USB lead from my charger supplied with the phone (which also works as a data cable) I get a the charging status icon on the battery bar.

So......

Is my phone charging at 1 amp on the car, and at home or am I getting 0.5 on both or something else?
[Desire General] KRiZ-R:
If you check your battery stats by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and look at battery info, then you can see if it is charged by USB (max 500 mA) or at AC (more then 500mA)
[Desire General] s4vva:
I bought the official HTC charger, works perfectly.
[Desire General] jwarbutron:
thanks a lot for the explanation. I went for an uprated USB car charger but was still using normal cables to plug into it and the phone wasnt keeping up when bluetooth and GPS was on and was flat by the end of a long journey. Have tried the mod and phone is showing as plugged into AC so hopefully this is going to sort my issues.
[Desire General] Bingo Accent:
So am I right in saying that, unless you get one which has been adapted as described above, there is no real difference between one in-car charger and another - none of them will be up to the job of keeping the phone full of jiuce whilst running GPS over a long journey.

Was thinking of shelling out for a Brodit kit, but at £50+, I'll stick with a cheap one.
[Desire General] crazy4ker:
I got the offical charger and the usb cable is fine for data transfer.
[Desire General] obones:
Not really.

For the "mod" to work, your charger must be able to source at least 1000mA which most can't anyway.

So you first have to find a charger that does and then, if it's not already the case, short the D+ and D- cables together.

Note that this can be done by disassembling the charger (not being sure of being able to put it back together), by using conductive glue on the USB plug itself (a bit invasive) or by using an adapter like the one I shown in my previous message (but you need to do it yourself or have someone do it for you)
[Desire General] joebongo:
Go to Wilkinsons, they have a universal car charger set with a micro USB on it. It's the type where it's on a retractable cable round thingy in the middle and you pull the straight wires out either end, not a curly coiled cable.

This will charge it fine.

Halfords have the same thing except £5 more and is branded.

Bump

good deal..just ordered 2
[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
yeah i saw that last night and ordered 2
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
I ordered 5, a few of my coworkers needed some. I got 2 for myself just in case I screw up the first one.
[Vibrant Accessories] GameOver69:
Are these any good? How are these in relation to Zaggs, or its close competitors?
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Just ordered mine been using it naked since i bought the one from Tmobile and returned it. Not that i think i need it but just because shes on the pill dont mean i wont strap one on still.
[Vibrant Accessories] endyyy:
Thanks just got one! hopefully it'll be better than the invisibleshield
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Just got mine in and Meh ill give it a few days , nothing beats a naked screen but this has a bit of a studder with swype and sorta like Zagg.
[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
ugh, i hate screen protectors period.

NOthing beats the feel of the naked screen
[Vibrant Accessories] nick_karstedt:
I dunno, the Zagg I had on my G1 had much more of a rubbery feel than this one. Doesn't affect the color or clarity noticeably either.
[Vibrant Accessories] jrarey:
I tried Clearfreak on my Vibrant and had to take it off after two days. Just too much change from that perfect Samsung screen. It degraded both the look and feel.

Tried Realook based on recommendations on this board, and it is by far the closest to naked I have even come across. The thing really is that amazing.

Being a nOOb I can't use links, but a quick scan of the Vibrant Accessories forum will give you pictures and ordering info. $10.99 for two includes shipping.

FWIW highly recommended.

Enjoy!
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
Raw dog FTW! Wait, I thought we were talking condoms....

I bit for 2 more ClearFreaks, even though I have a one on now - good to have backups.

[Vibrant Accessories] redfrobro:
I just ordered two, thanks for the tip
[Vibrant Accessories] PrestoMovie:
I might buy one of these. I want to protect my screen, but I do prefer the screen naked, but for $4, it won't be too much of a loss if I don't like them. Might as well bite.
[Vibrant Accessories] freekyfrogy:
I just bought two of them, I hope they turn out ok! If not then I might end picking up a reallook one. I hope everything turns out ok though.
[Vibrant Accessories] jrwingate6:
Anyone know how the ClearFreaks compare to the Realooks? After further testing of the Realook it takes some sensitivity away from the capacitative buttons but not the display its self.
[Vibrant Accessories] mrxela:
I had Clearfreak on my first Vibrant. Had to send it back in for having defective home button. As replacement screen protector I decided to try Realook.

They are completely different products. Clearfreak is much more along the lines of Zagg and Phantoms. That slightly rubbery feel never goes away.

Realook is dry application, easier to finess and de-bubble. Best of all its the closest feel to factory glass you'll get.

Finger-print wise, Realook also wins hands down. I did notice a very slight decrease in button sensitivity, but not noticeable enough to make it an issue.

One tip for super-clean install is to use clean room environment at home. I used to do that when I had to swap hard drive parts. Run a hot shower for 15 min, keep the door closed. Let it build up steam, that will clear the air of most dust and lint particles. Turn off water, and let the room clear out for 10 or so min, don't bring in your electronic equipment in until you are ready to work. And keep in mind that most surfaces will be damp. That will pretty much get you cleanest environment outside of real labs.
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
I'm using clearfreak right now but I picked up some realook since everyone has been raving about them. I haven't put them on yet will probably do so in the next day or so. According to their instructions you should use a spray bottle and spray air then wait 4 to 5 mins.
[Vibrant Accessories] Shane_pcs:
I put my clearfreak on this morning and so far im not digging it. I thought it wasn't supposed to feel rubbery but it does. Although it doesn't stop swype from working, its not near as slick as I had hoped. Not only that, but the damn thing matches the size of the vibrant so closely you have to align it perfectly not to overlap the edge of the screen.

Based on what I've seen online, i'll probably just end up removing it once I can't tolerate it any more and leave the screen naked.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
now that it settled in i will let it be for the week, got a near flawless installation but one small speck under my back key some how got under the protector. This might cause me to rip it off as is but i will give it a good work out this week to see if it feels any different. This is much better than Tmobiles screen protector however i feel it still messes a bit with the clarity of the screen.
[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
yeah i applied my clearfreak 2 days ago.

it's gross

I hate these type of protectors.

I will try out the Realook if it's a dry application.

I can't stand the garbage protectors that i need to wet everything.

I installed it properly, it's aligned properly, but the orange peelook(resembles the surface of a whiteboard) is not my thing.

Glad i got them on special
[Vibrant Accessories] freekyfrogy:
I just installed mine. There is a bit of residual wetness under the protector that is distorting the color a bit, but other than that it's alright. It feels almost identical to the zagg I used to have on my g1. I was able to get it on almost perfectly, but as someone else stated earlier it's almost exactly the same size as the screen area on my vibrant. Even with it lined up nearly perfectly it is still a bit too high, so it kinda bunches up at the top of my phone. so far it's not bad, but we'll see how long I keep it on...
[Vibrant Accessories] mikey98277:
Just bought 2 for me, thanks for the link
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
I have a flawless installation looks nice however its smudgy.
[Vibrant Accessories] altabu:
Got mine a few days ago. installation was easy after watching the video on their website. I kinda liked the wet install because it allows you to slide the protector in order to align it precisely with the screen. Turned out pretty good. Can barely see the protector except if you stare really close against a reflection. It is a more slick than the ZAGG and thinner.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
took it off after 2 weeks, theres nothing like naked.
[Vibrant Accessories] NotBillable:
did anyone else notice that the picture on the link is of the captivate?? Doesnt the vibrant has the home button in the centre?

Nvm, i have a i9000m which is also called vibrant
[Milestone XT720 General] tjcooper17:
Hi guys,

Just out of interest, what's the fastest overclock you guys have done with the XT720?

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
I'm currently running at 1.0 GHz. It's stable and smooth. No FC or any glitch yet.

Benchmarking get past Nexus One. :D
[Milestone XT720 General] tjcooper17:
1GHZ seems fairly stable. I'm trying 1.2ghz but its not quite as stable. I have got 1.27ghz but after a few minutes it crashed
[Milestone XT720 General] jakelights:
I'm running 1ghz. Anyone experience overheating?
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
not at 1GHz,

only when I clocked to 1.2 I noticed the phone getting warm while using extensively.

1.2 GHz on my mobile is stable. Till now, there's no crash, but I feels like it's not as smooth as running at 1GHz. And battery drains noticeably faster.
[Milestone XT720 General] Beako:
Does the latest SetCPU support the xt720? Or do I still need to use that milestone12 apk?
[Milestone XT720 General] ranggie4:
Just rooted my phone. What app do you use to overclock?
[Milestone XT720 General] dannyfly:
1 root ur phone

2 install milestoneoverclock 1.2 (simple google search)

3 get setcpu (optional)

i set my xt720 at 1ghz its very stable
[Milestone XT720 General] ranggie4:
I went to the site, got the code using my bar code scanner, the file was downloaded, but I can't start it up. Tried looking for where to place the file but did not find. Got any info bro? Really appreciate the help.

p.s. I've not loaded an other kernel apart from the one that the phone came with.
[Milestone XT720 General] jtond:
Thank you very much!

Overclocked very easily.

I'm using overclockwidget to define speeds. It's free and seems to work perfectly.

Now I'm at 800mhz and I've reactivated all animations :-)
[Milestone XT720 General] solnyshok:
I tested custom Vsel (voltage) values with milestone overclock, and am glad to find that 1GHz is stable with 56 vsel. same as default for 550MHz. now, seems that my battery life improved significantly over previous setting 800mhz with 66vsel.
[Milestone XT720 General] rhythmjhan:
how do I custom the vsel? :D

btw, at what Fahrenheit or Celsius is considered over-limit?
[Milestone XT720 General] solnyshok:
press options (sensor button), settings, enter rate (e.g. 900MHz will be 900000) and max voltage(vsel, 56 seems stock value for 550MHz, but I have been running stable 800MHz@43, 900MHz@51, 1GHz@56)

Then, save values, pull slider all way to the right, then click apply.

If you put too low value, phone will be unstable and reboot. I went from highest to low. i.e. started at 900MHz@56 and then decreased vsel by 1 or 2, until phone became unstable. Then I went back up +1 and it has been running fast and energy efficient since then.
[Milestone XT720 General] solnyshok:
I do not know about highest possible temperature. At Vsel=56 phone does NOT get hot at all, this is stock voltage after all.
[Milestone XT720 General] rhythmjhan:
Thanks alot solnyshok :D...

I'm now at ur settings :D 1ghz vsel56....

thank you so much...
[Milestone XT720 General] solnyshok:
you are welcome :-)
[Milestone XT720 General] somethingdope:
Hmm default vsel on 800mhz for milestone no good ?
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
If you feed more, you'll drained quickly. So, while you can feed her with 54, why would you spend more and drain your pocket quickly? :D
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
I hope no one dare not to go for the highest possible temp. coz if u go over it, your processor will explode. :D

One thing i noticed is that, when the heat goes to 42C ... the frame of the battery icon on the status bar become Red color. then, you should know you've got to cool her down.
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
shoot!

I'm busted. i tried to set 1000000 @ 56 and forgot to un-check auto-load on start-up.

somehow, the setting is not working for my phone, and everytime it boots up. it's frozen ...

can anyone help me urgently?

------ update -------

I just found the solution myself. :D

take out the MicroSD card and put it into to the card-reader.

browse /android/data/pt.com.darksun.milestoneoverclock/files

you'll find a file name "autoload" (i thought it's a config file and tried to open it. but it's 0 Byte and there's nothing inside the file)

so i simply delete the file, put the SD card back into the phone and boot it up.

Wow!!! ... it's neat, the O/C is not loading.

then I go to the Options and put the vsel to 58. tested and working now.
[Milestone XT720 General] hassler:
I'm running 800 at 66

fine so far

BTW anyone can recommend the extra battery for XT720? the stock one is so so lame :(

rooting motorola xt720

Hey guys can anyone show me the steps to root my phone so I can overclock it?

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 General] chezzzuk:
Just install

Universal root

Milestone overclock

From android market
[Milestone XT720 General] chezzzuk:
I run my xt720 at 900mhz vsel 56
[Milestone XT720 General] sirous123:
Are you talking about universal androot? Cause I tried that once and lt said it rooted but when I used the motorola overclock app it didn't work. :s and so I uninstalled both apps, I was going to reinstall them to try it again but universal androot is not there anymore....
[Milestone XT720 General] sirous123:
Ok well I found the app an it said "phone model motorola xt720 not supported" when I went to load module to overclock.

So mow I'm confused, does it matter that my xt720 is canadian? Lol
[Milestone XT720 General] solnyshok:
do you have Milestone Overclock version 1.4.2 at least?
[Milestone XT720 General] sirous123:
Yea I do, it says does not support xt720 do u think it is because I have a "canadian" version? Or should that not matter at all?
[Milestone XT720 General] zdzisuaf:
I had the same problem but my XT720 didn't freeze immidietly after turning it on. There was about 30 seconds delay before Milestone Overclock set user settings (1GHz, 56vsel) so after 5-6 resets I managed to quickly enter MO settings and uncheck "autoload" :))

I set 58vsel but my device freezes after some time. Now I'm running 1GHz and 61vsel and it's doing good but when I'm trying to browse my photos it slows down drastically and there are some lags while changing pics. Anyone has the same?
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
that might be the SD card issue. replace the stock 8GB card with a better card. (at least, Sandisk Class 6 MicroSC)
[Milestone XT720 General] zdzisuaf:
I guess you're right! I didn't think about it... it might work and I have to try it :)) thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] zdzisuaf:
how do you think - which microSDHC card will be better for my XT720:

1) Kingston 8GB Class 4 (write: 15 MB/s, read: 25 MB/s)

2) Transcend 8GB Class 6 (write: 12,0 MB/s, read: 17,2 MB/s)

3) Silicon Power 8GB Class 6 (write: 6~11 MB/s, read: 17~23 MB/s)

4) King Memory 8GB Class 4 (write: 21 MB/s, read: 18 MB/s)

?

The values of write and read speed were taken from the internet auctions and I'm not sure if they're true.
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
I'll go for No.2 (Transcend). It's my personal choice. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] zdzisuaf:
That's funny... I was waiting for the reply and cannot wait longer so I bought the one (Transcend) about 10 minutes ago :))
[Milestone XT720 General] fergy:
1.1 but it freeze within hour or so, so I use 900 mhz and everything fine for now

[Milestone XT720 General] story:
What settings did you use?

VSEL and stuff?
[Milestone XT720 General] shungun:
To all those wishing to overclock and save battery :P

Its been stated before that 800Mhz at 43Vsel is stable! It wasn't stable for me and after a little tweaking i realised 800Mhz at 44Vsel is stable it hasn't rebooted/crashed unexpectedly for the past 2 days atleast! :)
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
geez ... it's not working with my phone using Russian ROM. First I tried at 45 vsel. but the phone reboot after a couple of seconds. I tried with 46 vsel. for a moment I thought it's stable. but when I run Quadrant Benchmark, it reboot. :D
[Milestone XT720 General] shungun:
Oh? i am using the south east asian rom... it seems to be stable... although i havent benchmarked with quadrant yet =( i used setcpu's benchmark and it was fine... does 1Ghz at 56Vsel work for you?

PS what is the vsel for the 720mhz in the new update?
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
1GHz is stabled at 59 vsel. I'm not sure which vsel they set for 720
[Milestone XT720 General] Droid Prophet:
milestone-overclock 1.4.3 (beta 2) working on Canadian XT720 (from WIND Mobile)

It works! They have a bleeding-edge beta available on their google code site, posted under the issue list by the name of 'motorola xt720 not overclocking'. (attached here also). The version you're looking for is milestone-overclock 1.4.3 (beta 2). (would post link but i'm too new ...to xda. actually I created an account just to share this info, but i've been lurking for a few weeks since i got my phone, awesome help here from everyone, thanks.)

I ran it, and boosted it up to 1200 MHz, 80 vsel (Custom). The thing was flying for a few minutes, but when I ran another app, it reset :( I forgot I still had SETcpu running the in background! Dunno if that caused the crash or what, but they were both set to auto-load on start-up also, and each time it restarted, when the message appeared that it had been granted superuser permissions, it went back to black and reset. This happened a few times before I took the SD card out, which stopped the programs from auto-loading. I guess the settings for the apps (at least these ones) are stored on the SD card (thank god).

So I uninstalled (and refunded!) SETcpu (it would only go up to 720 MHz anyway, as far as i could figure for the xt720), reduced milestone-overclock to 1000 MHz, 74 vsel, and things seem pretty awesome now. No more hangs going back to the home screen when closing an app, etc.

Enjoy your speedy new phone :)

Let me know if anyone is stable above 1000MHz. I'll try myself later on, I just don't want to mess with it now that it's working. :p
