Yea I bought mine off ebay and had awsome screen quality off the bat so I had no need to return mine to tmob's
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlean:
I have a bad screen. Who cares?! Unless u stare at your phone from an extreme angle... I never did understand the problem. I can understand knowing there is a better screen and expecting it for the money though.

Plus mine can overclock on any kernal at any setting out so far with zero freezes. Does your "good" screen do that?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00nshake:
I was telling myself the same thing until I went back to the tmobile store, found one with a good display, and compared them side by side. I'd seen the pictures and videos, but in person, it really was a night and day difference.

Since looking into our screens is ultimately a lot of what we all do on a smart phone, this is something I definitely would not compromise on.
[Nook Color General] nootered:
This may sound like a stupid question, but I am trying to access the NC through ADB. But I am currently not rooted at all, I am running the stock 1.1 software now, with an OC 1.1gHz Kernel.

When I plug in the NC to the computer I just see two B&N Nooks under disk drives and I am not able to install the ADB driver override for them. I remember when I was rooted I just plugged in and I think it showed up under Networks or USB for some reason and I was able to install the driver.

Do you have to be rooted to use ADB?
[Nook Color General] Tom S.:
No. You can go through the whole process of installing the drivers. I can't post the link because I don't have enough posts.

I'm sure these instructions are on this site too. I'm just new.

Can you download from the market? Get adb wireless and you should be good.

Ok guys im no noob but I did get spoiled with the one click lag fix. And one click root. I had my phone all flashed out and running super smooth and super fast, and then it was stolen last week. I just got my new one and was sad to see that the rooting option was removed.from the app. I tried a method I foumd in the forums but I couldnt get it to root. Kept getting an error when I hit "reinstall packages". So any help or useful tips would be much much appreciated! I gotta get rooted again, im having flashing withdrawls!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
Did you try re-downloading the one click root file?? May have a corrupted file and usually you can redownload and it should work fine.

yes.i have downloaded it 3 times, I am just missing something stupid, I know it. But im going to try it again. It can't be this hard
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
If you go to unlockr.com (oneclick rooting android) they have a nice rooting video on how to do it. Oneclick has a later version 1.5.5 depending on what you are running you may need later version. The video is step by step

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdcooper:
... And to goodvibrant. Should it be on or off?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodVibrant-ions:
You'll want to enable usb debugging when using the one click root app.

Before connecting the phone to the pc enable it in the menu. From home hit menu button> settings> applications> development and check usb debugging.

[Milestone 2 Accessories] wilzson:
hey guys,

just wanted to let you know that i've found this website where you can buy this item for only $8.49 - bargain!

i have used andida batteries in the past for 2 other phones and they've not only increased battery life but they are also quite reliable. (eg. My x10 mini pro used to heat up when charging but with the andida it didn't)

so here is the website . check it out:

search in google - obostore 1600mAh andida bp6x

(dunno why server wont let me put a website here)

hope you all find it useful!

i need to wait for mine to get here which will take 2 weeks.

i'll update everyone on its performance when i can
[Milestone 2 Accessories] kanek06:
Will i need new Back Case?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] wilzson:
the website saids it fits original device.

so no back cover needed apparently!
[Milestone 2 Accessories] cobo_:
Personally, I'd be wary about these knock-off batteries (especially being so cheap as well!).
[Milestone 2 Accessories] wilzson:
me too! but i've used andida batteries for the last 2 phones i've had

and they not only worked better but lasted longer!

obviously i will check the labels and make sure its a legit battery.

still waiting for it to arrive!

stock batt is 1400mAh, so what's the profit from 200mAh more?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] mandrsn1:
It is an increase of 14%
[Milestone 2 Accessories] anothadave:
its not a bad increase. if you can get 24hrs out of the standard battery then you can get nearly 3 and half hours more with this..

i bought 1 of the batteries but i have a small problem since as soon as i put on the phone instead of the battery indicator i get a ? and when i charge it it says battery cannot be charged please use original motorola battery.

any help?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] vampyr3:
any help pls?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] patton82:
Milestone 2 works well only with original battery bp6x and bp7x, probably because of an embedded control chip

You can charge your non-original battery with a external dock, there's nothing else you can do
[Milestone 2 Accessories] anothadave:
have you tried contacting the supplier and asking them? that would be the obvious first port of call! maybe its a duff one.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] vampyr3:
I will try that i am just asking here to see if anyone had the same issue
[Milestone 2 Accessories] sceada:
It is well known (at least in the german speaking board I am mostly active on) that the Milestone 2 only accepts Original BP6X (maybe BP7X? never heard of them) Batterys.

As patton82 wrote, you can charge it externally and use it, thou you won't see how much percent you have left nor charge it inside the MS2, so at best it is a "emergency battery" to carry with you charged.

There are problems even with "original" BP6X due to a lot of illegal copys of them which look legit at first (differences are quite small) and some online-shops sell them even without knowing they are not original ones.

Regards,

sceada

[Milestone 2 Accessories] Djd10:
I had da exact same problem with a non-original 2400mAH battery. I Inserted it and it worked fine jus' didn't show da battery percentage, simply not being able to read the battery because it wasn't an original, and jus' showing a "?" icon instead.

It was very annoying, seen as I was excited to have an extended battery to make up for the POOR Milestone 2 battery, but in the end I jus' contact the seller and was issued a refund. Brought it off Amazon frm a third party seller by da way.

Anyway, would flashing a new/specific rom GREATLY improve the battery life of my Milestone 2? Or is there an alternative extended life battery that is compatible. Someone please help, and sorry for da story. Thanks

I got my backup batteries stolen on the subway in London, so I had to buy them again (now I'm stuck with the original BP6X).

In case someone is still interested, I found that it's now much more convenient to buy (on the well known bidding site) 2x OEM BP7X and a bigger back cover than one BP7X and the cover altogether!
[Milestone 2 Accessories] porcupineli:
I agree with damaging your phone, but if you choose a good trustworthy manufacturer and stop hunting ebay for cheaper deals, then you have nothing to worry about. On the contrary well selected extended battery increases overall performance and with average use (mails, photos, twitter, blabla) your phone wont need any recharge for at least several days and in many cases its quite useful, depending on the lifestyle:cool:

amongst manufacturers with good reviews there is Mugen for example, those dudes even built a strong fan community, users satisfied, no phones damaged, i even read somewhere they have the lowest returned marchandise rate amongst aftermarket batteries, whatever it means...

So dont worry about higher batteries, go for it guys, just buy from official sources for warranty, then its all dandy.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Guardkiwi:
Thanks for tips guys..my battery is on her way... :)
[Milestone 2 Accessories] kevbuk:
Anyone tried the Mugen 1700Mah battery yet?

Tempting, if a little expensive. I know Mugen are generally well trusted.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Joiner22:
I'm looking to buy a bp7x, what do you think of this battery?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Eleanor_Ir:
If you need a longer standby time, it is recommended that use BP7X.

Although it after the shell is not very attractive.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] luonchinguoc:
Thanks for your advice, I will look for Mugen in our country for my MS2.

[Milestone 2 Accessories] Masahito_Tenkouji:
Fyi, Motorola BP-7X (1,820mAh) is the higher capacity version of BP-6X (1,390mAh) for Droid 2 phones (and by extension Milestone 2), although the BP-7X is probably available only in USA/Canada regions (haven't seen Motorola or its suppliers made this higher-capacity battery available beyond these places) with the rest using only BP-6X, and nowadays is quite hard to get a replacement (in the event of battery failure due to wear and tear) for that as they are currently "officially" out-of-production.

Hey guys i'm having a problem with the USB port on my evo. It will only charge if the plug is facing up and as soon as it moves it stops charging. Its not the USB cable cause i checked 4 different ones. I got my Evo in june, the day it came out so its still covered under warranty and i also have the $9.99 insurance from best buy. Whats the best way to get that fixed? I read somewhere that if i send it in to sprint i would not get a loaner phone which i think is unacceptable. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
I would think that BB would cover this under warranty and hand you a replacement on the spot. That is what I would do anyways. Otherwise, why pay for the insurance?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tower1972:
I was in the same boat except my charger port completely failed..PC wouldnt see it, no cables or wall sockets would charge it.. I took it into Sprint and they swapped it out for a NEW (yes new, I checked the refurb status and its not) Evo. I got mine in June as well, was a 002 while this new one is a 003.

All I paid was 35.00 for the swap, which was refunded back to me and will show up on next months bill. I did NOT have the insurance from Sprint or BB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulrybicki83:
Thanks a lot man. I'm gonna have to try that. I called sprint and after talking to 5 people i was finally connected to HTC and they said i have to send it in and would be without a phone for at least two weeks .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulrybicki83:
I'm guessing I should probably unroot. right?? or since its the usb port it doesnt matter
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
I would. While WE know that rooting wouldnt cause that, sprint doesnt care. To them, if you are rooted, you void the warranty.
[Nexus S General] B3arfruit:
OK so I have read different way to save battery power on rooted nexus s but don't know what is best. I am currently using setcpu but can not tell a difference. If anyone has another way please share in great detail because I am new to rooted phones.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Turning off the mobile data connection will make an enormous difference you won't believe it.

Second is use WiFi when available, it will save tons of battery.
[Nexus S General] B3arfruit:
Why does there always have to be a funny guy.
[Nexus S General] RoboticPotPie:
He's not joking. That IS how you do it.
[Nexus S General] B3arfruit:
Man Im sorry dude read that wrong. I thought he said turn phone off LOL......
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Not so sure about the wifi part. I've compared the phone idling on 3G vs. idling on wifi and with wifi there's definitely more power draw. Confirmed it with System Panel, the CPU is pegged at around 10% usage while idling with wifi vs. about 1% when idling on 3G.

This has been consistent with all my other android phones too (Nexus One, Vibrant, MT4G)
[Nexus S General] stiefa00:
can please post what your setcpu settings are? thx dude!
[Nexus S General] emuporium:
You're right, wifi uses more power than 3G, and they both use more power than 2G. When idling I'd definitely want to sit on 2G if anything. When you actually need an internet connection though, wifi and 3G will be more efficient. They'll use more power but will download much faster to make up for it.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
Saving power is the same for almost all android devices:

1) turn off mobile network when not in use

2) turn off wifi when not in use

3) turn off gps

4) turn off automatic syns( if you dont use them)

5) brightness set to low

6) turn off live wallpapers

7) use a black wallpaper

8) turn off haptic feedbacks

9) set screen time out to a smaller interval.

all these steps might help you but it kind of takes away the charm of the phone imho.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
It's definitely the opposite of that, its counter intuitive but WiFi uses significantly less battery life over 3g. I can post some numbers when I get home tonight if anyone's interested. But a good test is leave your phone on WiFi all night, then repeat on 3g and see the enormous difference. Better yet just look at the official Google specs, web browsing time is always higher on WiFi.

I did some real nice graphing of current draw at 2 second sample rate comparing various tasks which is What I'll try to post later..

What's the best rom for battery life?
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
Bionix 1.2 @ stock speed, not the OC-ed version

it's stable, fast, and battery good

i have my data on all the time sync-ing every 30min

and 1 battery can last me a full day without plugging it in
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
Wifi automatically sleeps if your phone is idle for so long, therefore saving battery. 3g absolutely kills my battery so I have mobile data disabled when not using it. Works well for me. Also screen brightness on 0% using an app works good.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
I agree!!!!!!
[Nexus S General] B3arfruit:
Should you use setcpu with this rom? Or is it better without it
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
i tried with and without setCPU, and the difference in power saving was marginal

so i removed it.

it probably gave me an extra hour, but there is a bug with setCPU when picking up calls, it gets staticky until the CPU is at 800 Mhz or more

so with all that i mind, i decided to remove it
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
True, change the WiFi sleep policy to "never" to avoid this and extra battery savings.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
I've been getting the best with CM7 so far, but I think all the roms that are about the same as long as you don't overclock them.

Use a black static wallpaper, low brightness, and get the black-themed MMS and Gmail apps from the Themes/Applications forum.

I can get well through my work day. Usually have 2+ hours of display time on and about 16 hours off the charger by the time I plug in at night with still 20-30% left. Depends on my reception in the day as well, which is pretty bad at work, so I think I'd have 30-35% if my reception at work was good.
[Nexus S General] j.bruha:
Agreed on all points except for GPS. Since it's an on-demand service, leaving it on makes little to no impact on battery life. The phone only utilizes the GPS connection when an app calls for it and saves you the time of having to toggle it every time you need it. Just leave it on.
[Nexus S General] derfasaurus:
An active WiFi connection uses a lot less than an active 3g connection because the connection already exists and the data transfers faster.

An idle 3g connection uses significantly less energy than an idle WiFi connection. If you aren't using or connected to WiFi, turn it off. Set the WiFi sleep mode to sleep when the screen is off.
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
As an improvement to this ... I switch to 2G only mode when at home, where I mostly use wifi. So when my screen is off, it switches to 2G which saves a LOT of battery as compared to an idle 3G connection. And any background sync tasks work just fine on 2G.

I only enable 3G when I'm on the road or am somewhere without a wifi signal.

With a wifi/2G setup, I get 30 hours on a full charge. That's with 1-1.5 hours of talking, an hour of pandora, light web surfing/email (k-9 polling 2 accounts every 10 minutes), and 1 hour of the brainwave tuner app to help me get to sleep at night. :D

I'm running MoDaCo r10.

Looking further it appears he made a Metamorph for the theme also. That will make it very easy to port it over. I would just get rid of most of the .xml layouts he has in the theme and just stick to the images and you could do it in no time.
