[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
I dunno. I was only able to test the WIND SIM in-store with the Rebel loaded up on v1.3 - it may have worked with v1 in one of the 12 STK modes, but even then, the whole thing doesn't inspire much confidence. Even "working" meant that some people's calls to me didn't go through, some of the call display stuff didn't work, and getting booted off the cellular network after 12-18 hours was something I wasn't going to be able to test in-store either. In the end, I'm not willing to keep a phone with such problems.

If I hear of a way to properly unlock the Venue Pro, I will buy it back in a heartbeat. No other phone delivers what I grew to love about the DVP: portrait keyboard, gorilla glass screen, and WP7.
[Venue Pro General] CrownSeven:
I've had Tmobile unlock 2 phones for me in the past without issue. As others have mentioned all that is required is that the phone remain active for at least 90 days. After the 90 days, they'll unlock the phone for you.

Now who knows if they have access to unlock codes for Dell phones.

Whenever I've used the tether on my N1 it will always connect, but it only stay connect for sometimes 30 minutes and other times 3 minutes. Once the connection drops I have to restart the phone to start a new connection. This happens in random places and it does not matter if I have it tethered through USB or not. Any suggestions on whats going on?

Right now I am on MicroMods Gingerbread.

I was using miui au 1.1.7 and had great battery life. Miui isn't for everyone though. I just installed the latest cm7 gb build so well see
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wu_forever:
It really depends on the kernel that is flashed with the ROM as well, in general ROM's that are AOSP tend to have better battery life because all the Sense stuff that syncs constantly can drain your battery, but alot of devs have found ways around this by getting rid of the extra Sense junk.

But IMO switching kernels gives the biggest difference

Happy Flashing :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remy2501:
it trully is in the kernal and somewhat dependant on the rom.. like dude said.. warm is a badass rom.. i think i'm still using warm rls4, forget which kernal.. but find a decent one and use a cpu tool to setup profiles to control your kernals speed and usage.. with the right settings you can squeez some juice out...

Skyraider 3.5 for sense or I'm having great battery life with cm7 w/ stock launcher (doubt it makes a difference on battery life but might)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheez99:
Like others have said, it's mostly about what kernel you are using. Some kernels reduce the amount of voltage the CPU uses to save battery as well as underclocking it when its not in use to save even more battery. I've used Skyraider 3.5 with Incredikernel and it has given me the best battery life, and I've used quite a few different kernels.

If you choose an AOSP ROM (like cyanogenmod) try invisiblek's kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gramenz:
Best battery life to date is my current setup, Senseless Redemptive Revolution with Lou's #6. I can get 24-26 hours with normal usage not watching what I do. Recently, I reinstalled Juice Defender, and as I have always been a skeptic of it, if it is set up correctly, I am seeing a very noticeable increase in battery with no real side effects. FYI.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtjay:
For Me, it was Cyanogen 6.1 stable and invisbilek's #28 for the kernel, but play around with it and see what works best for you, now that you are rooted, you can add any rom and kernel that you want and find out what works best for you, rembember, everyone's phone and usage are different, what works for me may not be best for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overground:
Thread closed.

Reason: The reason we close what's referred to as "Best ROM Threads" is because the vast majority of the type end up a nasty flame fest. The reasons should be obvious. It's really a matter of opinion, and then you get the fanboys of certain devs chiming in, and well, you get it. You did nothing wrong (besides posting in the wrong sub-forum). My advice is try a few and make that choice yourself. It's easy to find the most popular ATM, because they stay on page 1 of the dev sub. That doesn't necessarily make it the best, however. Give some a shot and see what's best for you. Good luck.

I am wondering if any of the Telus Fascinate owners would be willing to post pictures of the internal components and layout of the phone? I am presuming it is similar to the I9000 and Vibrant more than the Verizon Fascinate/Mesmerize but would like to confirm this.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barmanham:
When im talking on the phone I hear this kinda static noise in the background was wondering if there is anyway I can play with the settings at all
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
You're sure the static noise is from the speaker and not the call connection itself (ie., the static isn't there on speakerphone or earbuds)? Someone else on here was reporting a rattling noise from the speaker on full volume. His work around was just to use the volume button to go down a touch.

If the noise is on the network, maybe try forcing 2G only for a test to see if the static goes away.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barmanham:
Is the in call speaker the same as the one for music and speaker phone? I blew into it last night and I think it worked I hope I don't know any of the nexus s codes to change the settings of 2g only do you know it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
There's only two speakers on the NS. The speaker for music and speakerphone on the back, and the earpiece one on the front at the top. I wasn't sure which one you meant.

To force 2G only, go to Settings app, then select Wireless & networks, then scroll down to Mobile networks, click it, then click the checkbox next to Use only 2G networks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I'm hoping there will be a volume hack coming soon like with the N1. The N1 in call volume is significantly higher than the NS.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
Now that a significant number of US carriers (as well as MTS Canada) have released the CDMA Milestone, which is compatible with Verizon Droid firmwares and *not* with GSM Milestone firmwares...

May I suggest a small renaming to reduce confusion?

Motorola Milestone Android Development -> Motorola Milestone (GSM) Android Development

Motorola Droid Android Development -> Motorola Droid (and CDMA Milestone) Android Development

There have already been people who got carried way trying to apply GSM Milestone guides to their CDMA Milestone. Let's reduce the amount of phone bricking =)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] the_scotsman:
Not sure if there are enough ROMs posted to warrant a whole new forum for each. What might be easier, if I implement a requirement for all Devs who post a ROM to indicate either [GSM] or [CDMA] in the thread title.

Which Roms are CDMA? Are there many?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
Every CDMA Droid ROM is a potential CDMA Milestone ROM. The hardware is identical other than the fact that they should avoid flashing a Verizon radio. For example, Cellular South Milestone users are able to flash Clockwork Mod, Bugless Beast and Cyanogen, which were all compiled for the Droid. So what I'm saying is we need to point those users to the subforum that is presently labelled Droid, because that's where they will find the compatible development information. It's pointless for them to read information about the GSM Milestone.

Basically it's a Droid with a "Milestone" label on it, just like how the Inspire 4G is a renamed Desire HD, and the "G2 Touch" is a GSM Hero and not a Vision. Posts regarding the CDMA Milestone should be in the Droid forum. Anyone else agree with me here?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Sworkhard:
I agree with the forum renaming if they are essentially the same device, but simply need a different radio. No need for separate forums as the difference is no greater than European vs North American GSM Milestones
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
Right, my understanding is: The radio image of Verizon Droid ROMs contains a lock that prevents you from switching the phone's settings to any carrier but Verizon. The rest of the ROM is completely compatible though - ROMs that were written by devs who have never even heard of a CDMA Milestone are fully functional on that phone.

And it seems that just about every regional CDMA carrier has released it now - and with only Android 2.1, to boot - so there are lots of people looking for answers on this forum.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cfultz:
Would making those CDMA rom's be easier if all the devs had the APN's from those carriers? And I agree with the name change.

Sent from the Milestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] icemanak:
I second that!

I totally agree.new title! .. and I was going to ask.*.Developers*...Is there a way you can leave the Apns blank for us CMDA milestones?? Maybe that would be easier than suppling a bunch of different roms? Just and idea.. Ive had trouble replacing the verizon ones..im sure a few others have as well.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
I think if you've flashed the Verizon radio, it locks down the APN settings.

That's what it sounds like to me too.

Tappin' and a Talkin' from my Milestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
CDMA Milestone = Droid, same hardware down to the last detail.

GSM Milestone is a separate category.

Owners of a CDMA Milestone should have a clear indication to proceed directly to the CDMA/Droid section, not the GSM Milestone section.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] the_scotsman:
Ok, so can someone clear up what exactly is the same and whats different?

From what I can understand, it would be good enough to put a [TAG] in the title like [CDMA] or [GMS], or whatever else is different?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
No no no. What you're suggesting still involves grouping CDMA Milestone users into the same dev forum as GSM Milestone users. This simply makes no sense. There are currently two dev subforums already, and the CDMA Milestone owners just need to know which one to go to.

What is the same and what is different?

GSM Milestone = Milestone A853 has one set of guts inside, a GSM/HSPA radio, a SIM card holder, and a locked bootloader.

CDMA Milestone = Milestone A854 = Verizon CDMA Droid A855 has a distinct set of guts inside, a CDMA radio, no SIM holder, and an unlocked bootloader. The guts of A854 are the same as A855, and the ROMs are interchangeable except for certain carrier locks.

ROMs for GSM A853 are completely incompatible with the CDMA A854/855 and vice versa.

"Milestone" is just a name - ignore the name, focus on the guts.

Let's take an analogy:

GSM Milestone = Green pepper

CDMA Milestone = Green apple

CDMA Verizon Droid = Red apple

I am suggesting that recipes (ROMs) for the apples should go in one dev subforum; and that recipes for the peppers should go in another. Recipes for red apples work with green apples and vice-versa, so this makes a lot of sense.

You are suggesting that recipes for green peppers and green apples should go into the same forum entitled "green" because they're both green, and then posters can mark the recipes as [pepper] or [apple] accordingly. And then for some reason the red apples get their own forum.

Let's turn the tag idea on the side. How about this:

1) CDMA Milestone/Droid Android Development

Posts that are more specific to the CDMA Milestone are tagged [Milestone]

Posts that are more specific to Verizon are tagged [Droid]

2) GSM Milestone Android Development

No tags needed - the CDMA Milestone users will not stumble into this forum because it's useless to them!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] the_scotsman:
Thanks for clearing that up.

So we have:

GSM Milestone

CDMA Milestone

CDMA Verizon Droid

I still think the best option would be to keep the current structure, and just add a [GSM] or [CDMA] tag in each title of all Milestone threads.

I can see what you're saying in your analogy, but that will go against what users would expect...that would have 2 different "devices based on name" in one dev forum, which clearly wouldn't work.

I'll ask for input from svetius (the User Experience Admin), see what he thinks, as he's the one who looks after the forum structure.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
If CDMA Milestone threads are shoved into the GSM Milestone forum, it'll produce a lot more needless duplication and confusion than if they're directed to the Droid forum.

The development forums should be based around grouping together phones with the same hardware that have compatible ROMs. Look at the mess that came out of naming the Galaxy S forums based on the name of the American phones... it leaves Canadian users confused due to the way the names don't match up.

Bell Vibrant = international i9000 with different frequencies

Telus Fascinate = T-Mobile Vibrant with different frequencies

No Canadian equivalent = Verizon Fascinate

The dev forums for those phones would be cleaner and less redundant if they were grouped by hardware rather than name. Instead you get duplicate ROMs being posted across multiple dev forums with tags to remind you that the post is about an HSPA phone with the coincidental same name as a more popular incompatible CDMA model...

So yeah. Let's set a better precedent here.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] the_scotsman:
I think I must be missing something then...where are the CDMA Milestone threads at the moment?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
Well, some CDMA Milestone users have found themselves posting in Milestone threads after trying to apply GSM Milestone instructions or in order to ask if these instructions will work on their phone - unsuccessfully of course:

Yeah, not sure of anyway without disabling/changing your lock screen. No Lock was suggested if you don't mind disabling the slide to unlock screen entirely. Or you can use one of the lock screen replacements out on the market (WidgetLocker, Lockbot, Lock 2.0, LockGo, Flyscreen, etc.).
