I can agree with you its annoying sometimes but there is a simple workaround: for me that is to quickly toggle hold call(once for hold and once for unhold). Not sure how often it happens to you, I don't get this issue so often.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Not worth it for me as I think my 3G is also a little damaged (I have always lost connection randomly and kabs has tried to help before :( ) so with the videos I've seen, it doesn't seem to be worth it. I just wish they'd sell the Droid4 here (poor screen or not, I love a good slide out qwerty).

Kabaldan,

I've flashed GOT 2.2.1 and my digitizer doesn't act up as much as when on CM7 (or seemingly any custom rom). I've flashed milaq's CM6 and it was acting crazy also, but flashing back to GOT makes it near stable again. It does occasionally still get ghost-touches but very much less so. Any idea why this is so? Mostly for curiosity sake
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] janosik47:
Multitouch?

CMs support even 4-5 point multitouch
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
It's probably related to that though I always leave it as 2 point multi-touch. I'm just curious if there's an even more technical reason :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
What is your the longest uptime without a must to reboot? Approximately I have to reboot after 2-3 days, because system slows down very much and ram is leaking. Can anyone tell why the more phone is running the less ram there is? What is responsible for eating the ram ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
About 4 days :D and, about your last questions, I dont know, I can not see which apps are eating my ram, and can not free the ram but restart to do that :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
According to me it looks like ram is "disappearing with time". During time is running less and less apps can be run in a background. I cannot imagine where this ram is being run away.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
If you experience ghost touches while connected to AC, the problem is due to your dock/psu.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
I'm also under impression that persistent processes are leaking memory.

Run procrank every couple of hours and try identify offending, i.e. overly growing, processes. I noticed that within my usage pattern system_server and com.android.phone increase their USS nearly twice in about 24 hours. This is particularily worrying as these processes are not restarted over time.

You mean that memory apps show you have 226MB instead of 256MB? I would assume that's because 30MB (a really strange amount, btw) is being shunted off to the GPU. I wonder if that can be changed somehow?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
No, I didnt mean, what you wrote. I told about ram disappearing during time passage. Open some task manager and look at running apss, with time there will be less and less, until your phone will be unstable and you have to reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adistf:
i have the same problem,even on CM6.RAM just dissapear...i dont know why but as you said,it's really annoying.

I have this issue when connecting my phone with charger. Do you have any ideas how to fix or prevent this? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] florinash2006:
Get a new charger! A heard of this problem before.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
It's caused by stock charger, using other micro usb charger for example for motorola v8 solve problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
Yes, Im using stock charger. Charging with usb and PC doesnt have this issue, but sometime, I have to use charger :D Thanks.

Well I haven't upgraded my phone to RC1 but there's a new problem which has come up ....When I go to the market and try downloading any game or app which is free of cost then this error message pops up telling me that. "Error processing purchase " and sometimes there's another pop up which says error. "retrieving information from server "

Anyone got any ideas about what this means

Thank you
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
You can install Gemini Taskiller Widget and GO TaskManager to cleanup your memory and get rid of the apps that are leaking memory. After each cleanup the phone is snappier.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Blame Google and their "new" Play Store.

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
The problem is that unkillable processes probably leak memory, which can't be alleviated by using a task manager.

Just to avoid "task manager is not necessary in Gingerbread":

Killable processes are being stopped by the system when there's memory pressure and restarted when they're switched to, so it's not a big deal (unless an app is poorly coded and doesn't save its state on exit) and no task manager is required. However, memory pressure situation causes task thrashing and forces garbage collection, which causes lags - thus, it may be a good idea to use a task killer before launching a resource intensive app (game).

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
It's good that phone process is killable using teminal emulator, after that there is more ram and milestone is not laggy. Great, now I can use my phone more than 3 day without a need to reboot :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
I sometimes get ghost touches too! Usually just standby on and off fixes though so not sure if its digitizer playing up!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
If you don't use Google Maps, feel free to delete/rename the apk from /system/app. It uses incredibly high amount of resident resources, as you can see.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Is there anyway to keep it but stop it running?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Freeze it then unfreeze before use but that would partialy make sense only if used extremly rare.

The best way is to configure autorun properties of an application and disable it's after startup receiver.

Eventualy you can disable some other event receviers like power connected. Other receivers like app installed could be due to installation of some parts related to or used by maps (i have no idea what that might be for this app) so if you install such things you should not disable them (or enable them as neccesary, it all depends what you do and how often). Then, maps will run again when you install/uninstall any app but can be force stopped.

Gemini app manager could do it but i had some issues on newer versions of CM7. Autostarts app (recomened by kabaldan after gemini failed for me) by michael elsdorfer curently works best. But it's not free app.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Same to me. I just reboot everynight before going to sleep!

I'm agree that Google Maps eats lot of ram; what about using something like BRUT MOD?

Inviato dal mio Milestone usando Tapatalk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] peshovec:
why not just enable the gmaps hack? now it can be toggled even without reboot.

also writing 0 to /proc/sys/vm/overcomit_memory seems to help

trying to slide the above onscreen
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
@puffo81: wouldn't rebooting after wake-up make more sense? To start fresh after you boot up?

@peshovec: gmaps hack is enabled by default in cm7.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
You're right, but in the morning I'm too sleepy to remember to reboot =)

btw I think that memory wasting doesn't increase if you don't use it.. just a sensation..

Gmaps hack disables the NetworkLocationService and that saves memory, but Gmaps itself uses a lot of ram anyway! brut MOD or similar should be lighter..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
Puffo81 you're right no using phone at all poses to not leak a ram. When you use many many apps in short time it can cause leaking memory very fast, my record is half day and I have to reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
You can also use autostarts to disable the automatic running of many apps, including google maps. You can still of course initiate it manually.

Hi Guys!..

i'd like to ask.. would it be possible for us to change roms without loosing our installed apps? contacts, or anything that has our previous rom??

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

@mrvek.. i'd like to ask just a follow up with your recommended app (autostarts apps).. i had installed in my phone.. is it ok if i disable programs like email, calendar? there's a message telling me that my phone might lose its functionalities.. m just troubled by it..

would it be ok??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
You create ext4 partition on sdcard and all your previously installed apps will remain across roms (as long as it supports app2ext (pretty much all of them)). But data (settings, messages, etc.) you shall have to restore "manually" by using some backup app (i prefer titanium backup but others exist as well).

That message you get when modifiyng any system app (i.e. those installed in /system/app). The funcionality you "lose" depends on how you use those apps. If you disable e-mail it might (probably will, depending on what receivers you disable) fail to sync with your mail account. However, if you do not use Email but some other mail app it should be safe to disable it. For calendar, if you use it for events and reminders (or any widgets or apps that provide funcionality that depends on calendar) you should not disable it. This pretty much applies to all apps. Autostarts app has some basic info on receivers (the "i" icon) and then you deduce what can be disabled for what apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] deathnote013:
thanks!

@mrvek m really new in the world of andriod..

how to create this ext4 on my SD card?? is there any thread that i could read regarding this useful tip??

ohh.. thats how it is.. its fine as long as there's nothing depending on the apps ur going to disable.. thanks man!

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

i have a problem with my camera..

what would be the cause of this??

any idea??

Just installed a fresh self-compiled build with today's changes and I'm impressed with speed boost that inclusion of the TurboJPEG from ICS gave to decoding of JPEGs - Gallery3D literally flies and the ugly tearing effect is gone. Also a nice cosmetic change has been included - the previously unthemeable dialogs (e.g. the one invoked by long pressing POWER) are now being themed. Kudos to Kabaldan for all of his hard work in porting and developing CM7 for MM!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Yes, the first post of this thread contains very interesting info. It has a link where you'll find out how to do it straight from the device. If you'd prefer to prepare sdcard from pc youll need an sdcard reader and some partitioning tool. Basically, you create first partition as fat32 which will be used by android (images, app data storage (some apps, not all), DCIM for camera pics...) and the second one formated as ext4 (size should not be to large, it is unlikely that you'll ever need more than 1GB). Search for "partition sdcard for app2sd" (app2ext, whatever) if you need details on the exact process.

Regarding camera issue: you are using cm7 (newer releases)? 'cause i am not aware of such issues on cm7, only on cm9. Never had it nor heard of it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] deathnote013:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
@lebmb: Flash the gapps package fixed by Kabaldan (see the 1st post in this thread).

Apologies to all who wanted to try the latest build - I'll upload it (or a newer one) as soon as I'll be able to. Please note that Kabaldan publishes his build as soon as he feels that there's been significant changes or when he finishes a piece of work, so it's best to use his builds. I normally stick to these but decided to flash work in progress just to try the new JPEG library, because tearing in Gallery3D annoyed me.

Toggle2G problems with RC1?

Hi,

is anybody else experiencing problems with the network connectivity since the last update (to RC1) using Toggle2G?

After I updated, my phone would not go back from 2G to 3G (sometimes, for now obvious reason), sometimes it will not find a network at all (while sitting at my desk where I usually have great connectivity). Only reboots would help (several times a day!) to get my phone back online.

Yesterday I switched off Toggle2G and after that my phone stayed online all the time, no problems at all. It was like this with Toggle2G activated before the update to RC1 ...

Can anybody confirm this behaviour?

Kind regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
I've always had this problem with any rom :P.

Also if you see it stuck, turn off mobile data and switch to 2G-only, turn mobile data back on and switch back to 3G/2G and it should come back and work fine again without a restart. Only thing that has saved my sanity, in having to do this regularly, is the CM quick toggles lol.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
In the latest release Kabaldan has updated Toggle2G to version 0.2.3, which can toggle data before and after switching between 2G and 3G.

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milest0ne2:
I tried that a couple of times but it didn't work for me, it stuck to 2G or wouldn't connect at all.

I went through the Toggle2G-settings but didn't notice any significant change, is there a need to change the configuration to make it work again? It seems strange that a version change of Toogle2G would make such a big difference and forcing me to reboot to connect again ...

Kind regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Toggling data/2g/3g usualy helps with the issue. As last resort you can toggle airplane mode rather than have to reboot as it can oftenly help. A bit anoying to do that all the time but it works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milest0ne2:
My bad! I checked Toggle2G again and found the new (?) flag for switching the data connection. I'll check it out and see if I can get it to work again using that feature.

Thanks for the hint, didn't try airplane mode yet. If the new config option (see above) won't work for me, I'll give that a try.

Kind regards

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
eureka!!

After this finding I have check mediaserver in Android System Info app. It was identified as com.google.android.apps.drm so I disabled this service by renaming it from com.google.android.apps.drm to com.google.android.apps.drm.bak in Root Explorer.

That was 4 days ago. From that time phone runs rock solid without any reboot. I must say that earlier my phone restart randomly once a day. That was my long standing CyanogemMod problem. Also phone runs smooth as in first day. No slowdowns over time!

I try full wipe and SD card format without any effect. Disabling this service is my cure for all CM7 problems.

Hello Nadalabak

I found a little problem with CM7, you can not make video calls on Skype, with a froyo ROM image I can send the camera back of the phone and get the image of another person with whom we speak, but in CM7 time and not with that version could see at least the video of another person but with the latest updates can not do any of the two, the screen goes black and you can not see anything :( that you create that may be causing the problem? :confused:

Hello,

I have an interesting problem with the phone headset.

I can't find any cycle for how it happens. My headset dies no sound what so ever in regular calls, (at the beginning of a call) it works if I put the phone on speaker, I also use viber and if I place a call on it, the headset works and after continues to work on regular call also, but from time to time it stuck.

The only app that I didn't freeze, and didn't got to it yet is ringdimmer.

Any suggestions?

And I can't make the sound start in other way.

Hello

I got the milestone few months back rooted and upgraded to HONO CM7 and recently I re flashed it to this one RC1 but I noticed that When WiFi is on battery is draining like 1% in 2 or 3 minutes, I used it for 3 hours of continuous wifi usage from 100 to 15% battery before this rom. Is it a bug or I done something wrong. It also after battery drain charge back to 100% in less than 45 minutes while before it was like from 15% to 100% took about 2 hours or so

Sounds like the battery they gave you back is exhausted ... have you got another battery to check with?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adome5:
Hi man! Its also take to me and i want to write here. Also the device are be "hot" after the used.

I have been check 2 batterys and the problem also happen.

Why?

Maybe the problem its in the rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
My MS did the same with every rom and every battery.. nothing to do! =(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] igna.worn:
Yep , so Do I, I bought a new battery and with almost zero usage and in 2g, I get aprox 12-18hs hours lifetime.

If I turn on 3g, the phone starts to heat and in 5 hours of standby goes to zero.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hackenggr:
I not think Battery is exhausted because one day before I use Wifi for hours on another rom. I tried to calibrate the battery lets see if it works any better today.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
I'm starting to think that the problem is stock battery. The mugen runs cooler and longer, and without surprises. The previous stock one had the same issues you refer to.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Maybe, in my case the phone heats up with any batteries (I've tried 3 different batteries). I think it's a 3G related problem, because with Wifi the phone remains cool and the battery lasts far longer. With no usage, I can do even 3 days, but when I use 3G connection, battery drops very quickly..

Also sometime it drops from 60% to 20% in a few seconds, but maybe that's because the battery is old..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] igna.worn:
I had battery-jumps as you mentioned, I bought a new battery and that fixed it.

So, the battery is old.
