Did you take the battery out and then plugged the phone in the AC? Wait a bit and the ? will come up. Only then slide the battery back in to start charging the battery...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Seems that it doesnt work for me.

I charged till battery showed 100%, then released the cable, pulled the battery ou the phone und plugged in the cabler again...

I guess 2 min have left, still no "?" :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
Any tether solution?

Barnacle and built in start but my pc can't see him.

Barnacle not detecting twilan, they detecting rmnet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
because you're doing it wrong.

WHILE CHARGING in wall charger and your phone turned OFF, just take battery out. understandable?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dorol:
Ive seen on my battery status that something named "voice calls" is suckin 15% power.Is this normal ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jackeh070:
Sure it's normal if you made a call. Calling eats a lot of energy.

@BryanChung I would try it with JIT disabled...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
I tried this way the first time, too.

Damn, cant be that difficult!

Shut down phone, pluged the cable, charged till 100%, removed battery, no "?"

Sorry, but thats it, isnt it?!

After a couple of days with 7.1.5, my thoughts:

Excellent job Nadlabak, again. :)

- WiFi works just great here, some problems I had connecting to some routers are gone.

- Animations run smoothly and are visually great. And we get a little glimpse of Android 4..

- I noticed the new dialer (maybe it was on from a former release?) that suggests the Contact you want to dial when pressing the first numbers of the phone number.

- Battery consumption is just fine

- Can't play Angry Birds Seasons (Haven't been able for some releases now), don't know what services/apps should remove to achieve that, but I don't bother..

And a question: There was an option that did the following:

When I was navigating (with Navigon for example..) and someone called me, the navigation continued, and the phone call just appeared on the Notification bar. Where can I find this option in the settings to enable it again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
How do you do that?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brgroover:
You have to use chainfire and set textures to 16-bit color. If you make this, it works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Blitzz666:

I use Autostarts. Haven't found another app that can do that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DanneMCA:
anyone facing the same issue as me on google maps precache?

Precache on google maps is not keeping in memory. I can add an area on precache and it still there for a while, but get cleaned by itself few hours latter.

I' m not able to figure out what is causing this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linuxholgi:
Just upgraded from the last FroyoMod and must say I am impressed from this ROM. Thanks to the developer, what a fantastic job!!

But like others I am facing WiFi issues. Before all my settings were auto-restored everything was fine. Now I am not able to connect to any WiFi AP. Scan gives me no results. Airplane or changing channels from 11 to 13 or 15 doesn't seem to help. :-(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linuxholgi:
I erased the contents in the folder

/data/misc/wifi

and its now connecting again. Hope that the problem is related to the old data and it will not occur again. Sad part is, that I have to manually reconnect now to many APs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
After my Milestone crashes or is shuts down due to low power, the first (few) times, the system boots in some weird state. The launcher won't start (screen is black) and the theme is reset to default. There is normal network connectivity and the system responds to holding the power button.

After one (or sometimes more) reboot, the launcher starts again and the theme is restored. I have to choose my default keyboard again and widgets won't load. The first time I saw this was after disabling the JIT compiler. The first reboot was quick and resulted in this state, the second was very slow and also resulted in this state and the third reboot was normal.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
Ever since the GMaps first started supporting precaching, I've found that the caches are not persistent across app updates. Every time I update GMaps, the lab settings get reset back to their default "off" state, and the caches get wiped. Perhaps there's more to it than that, but I don't rely on being able to pre-cache areas where I will be out of signal.

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DanneMCA:
I had not issues when using on stock eclair or froyo, I guess something about this odex thing, :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Do you happen to use a cache cleaner?

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DanneMCA:
In fact, i have, but after i figure out the precache disappearing i stop to using it. Now i've removed from my phone, maybe it was running in background... let's see.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Thanks for the explanation but I think you misunderstood a little. I understand how memory works on android cause I tried to read a lot about it.

My issue is that slowly, over 10-20hours (sometimes happens quicker), the available ram becomes lower. When I say free ram, I'm not strictly talking about FREE ram per say, but the ram used to keep programs loaded (cached)+truly free ram. This is actually what is shown in running services as "free ram," not true free ram.

So, in time, with the same services running, I see the phone struggling and restarting apps during multitasking because it has no room to keep them cached in ram. After a fresh reboot, doing the exact same multitasking activities, the phone flies, more apps have room to be kept cached in "free ram."

Where does the available ram disappear over time?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jerminhu:
How can I keep an application running in the background without being killed unless it is manually closed by user?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
You can use Auto Memory Manager, but I don't reccomend to do that due to MS few ram available.. but if you need it, there's an option in that app to do that.

'Holo' ring lockscreen style

the look&feel of the new 'Holo' ring lock screen is amazing.

try it under CMsetting>lock screen>style options

try also the custom app starter under that screen - very useful.

best ROM so far, can't dare to ask for more.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DanneMCA:
One more update from my journey with Google Maps Precache:

Precache added:

and few hours later:

No cache cleaner installed.

Any idea what is happening here??

Where this precache is stored? on sdcard or on phone??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qaz2453:
how about this :)

this is the best I have got when i had my milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qaz2453:
lol this was with ice&fire rom :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jerminhu:
Thanks, but can I achieve it without resorting to third party apps?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuisLAN:
It's really good but the ring animation sometimes freezes and it is laggy most of the time. Can that animation be disabled?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alson041:
I am experiencing a weird bug. The hardware keyboard sometimes stops working and instead of typing the letters, it opens different applications by pressing different buttons. Like if I were using shortcuts, but by pressing single letters only. A reboot seems to solve the problem, though, so it's nothing major.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
I had this problem too, once.

Reboot solved it and never had it again but I definitly confirm that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
Yep, this rarely happens.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
This behavior corresponds to search key being pressed while pressing another key.

Any hints on how to reproduce this issue would be welcome.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
I had got this too, but many, many version ago. That was weird because I couldn't reproduce this when I wanted to, but when I had a little time - then it came. Nowadays this problem is unfamiliar for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
I've had that happen as well and could never reproduce it hard as I tried. I haven't had it happen for many versions now though.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
Maybe it the hardware problem, not software?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linuques:
Exactly. I'm almost sure its a hardware problem, the search key becames stuck and other keys behave as shortcuts.

I have had this problem for a while now and I solve it by pressing the search key hard, so it will unstuck.

I think the problem is more frequent on older phones with "bubbly" keyboards.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xda-con:
Is it normal that google plus drain 26% of battery life? It's not running, I can't kill it and automatic update of image is disable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
I find that Google+ works fine as long as I keep it uninstalled...

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xda-con:
Is there some known problem of this sort with google plus app for android?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DanneMCA:
Think I figured out what is causing this:

Just uncheck this GMAPS hack and reboot.. the precache I added still there, after 4h till now...

Good to fix this, Gmaps is one of the most important app to me.

edit: Nope, precache still clearing by itself. Oh my :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zinu:
I'm having a weird issue... I installed the new version of this ROM (over the version before that) a few days ago, and I've been experiencing a weird issue since. The screen doesn't detect any input of about 1cm of the whole right side of the screen. For example, in Wordfeud, when I try to drag the last (most right) letter, it drags the second to last letter. It's like the screen isn't calibrated/aligned correctly or something... what can I do to fix this? I have never had this issue before...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Don't forget to reenable that option. The NetworkLocationService uses a lot of juice and memory, that's why Kabaldan built in a hack to keep it shut down.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andrelozer:
I think it's not a problem with the ROM, it's a hardware issue. Probably your digitilizer is dying. I have the same problem here, even kabaldan and luca had digitilizer-related problems.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nashapps:
it's "digitizer" actually.

mine have this problem too, and I still don't have time (and budget) to fix this. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Set the app on manual refresh or at least on 4 hours.This app also use a lot of ram.And maybe also check "upload pictures only over wifi".I don't have any particular problem with G+,but my settings are like above.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
Actually, it's 'digitiser'. We English invented english (there's a clue in the name of the language) and have no idea where the Merkins got their stupid obsession with the letter Z. And that's 'Zed', not 'Zee'...

Sadly we Brits who use UK English locale on our phones still have to suffer all sorts of mis-spellings, such as 'color' and 'airplane' instead of 'colour' and 'aeroplane'.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
Sorry for the interruption and cross-posting,

I did ask these questions on the doshaska blog already, but never got an answer, therefor...

Seemed to be there in 7.1.3 as well:

If I deactivate the screenlock via the Quick Settings / "Pull Down" Menu I can do that servals times (locking on, off and so on) and its still working, but after some minutes or hours of runtime, I could change that setting to "lock" and it would never ever work again, only if I reboot the phone or "hardreset" it via the real settings. Any hope in getting that fixed?

Another thing:

The compiled files are named 7.1.3, not 7.1.5 - any reason for that?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Commonwealth represent!! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DanneMCA:
Already done.

The good news are, the precached area still on phone, just not showed as stored on precache option.

Seems ok to me. I don't care about it, I just need to have maps offline, :)

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I still haven't figured out the cause of this bug, but I'm aware of it and able to reproduce it.

So it will get fixed, eventually :)

Version: delete build.prop from system folder in the out directory before new build or do a clean build.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
Thank you, I try to!

EDIT: Thank you, deleting the build.prop did it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] facelessone1:
Don't know if this happens on other roms cause I just noticed it when I was bored. When you slide out keyboard just a bit and then slide it back in and repeat that few times phone reboots.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
I was playing with VM heap size, and I found some interesting conclusions. Maybe it was discussed earlier, but I don't understand why default value is so small.

On default values, the games often crashed during loading, and my launcher lost the icon cache (Go launcher ex). When I increased it to 36MB, many of the games started working (some slower than others). Now I incresed it to 42, and games are running smoothly, launcher don't crash, killing all apps from the launcher leaves 70MB of ram (without killing at the moment it shows 37MB available). I didn't found any unstabilities or FC. So why to lower this value so much? To increase multitasking capabilities? (I can run connect bot, demanding instant messaging communicator and a game, and nothing FCs with 42MB).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Well, I wrote about it more than several times already and it's not very entertaining to repeat myself again and again.

The last time I mentioned VM heap size is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21744852#post21744852

I'll just add what I also said before - I've never experienced Google Maps freeze while using 24MB heap size. When set to anything higher, the Gmaps freeze will sooner or later happen.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DanneMCA:
I'm gettint bit confused about this precache issue on GMAPs...

First I thought it was fixed with that performance option, but it doesn't.

Then I thought the issue it only on precache counter, it show as '0' but in fact the cache still there, showing the area I did precached before..

but today I tried to check the area offline again and was not cached anymore. =/

Anyone knows where this precached area is stored on phone?? Is on Memory card or on phone?

What is causing this precache cleaning??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Where exactly do we find console?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Open Recovery? You should see the option when you get in.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] repatch:

Anybody else seeing this problem? Can't lock my phone anymore.

Thanks, TTYL
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Everything was working just great since 7.1.5 came out and now all of a sudden it can't scan any wifi around me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
Please, read a few pages back of this thread and you'll find solution to your problems.

Regards, megawebmaster
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Unfortunately i cannot see it on my phone...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Had the same problem, it is already answered and solved by nadlabak a few pages ago. Just look back. You just have to boot into OpenRecovery and write something in Console/Terminal. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
There are two lines in /system/build.prop named "sys.keep_app_1=" and "...2"

Here you can enter process names.

You can figure them out with... Auto Memory Manager :D

Keep in mind that this option locks the app's priority to 0 which means totally unkillable.

If you want to stop such an app you'll have to go to the running apps in Android settings and press "Stop process".

If you kill it via Taskkiller or any other app it will restart.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
NOFI but I changed the VM heap to 40MB and I can now actually start Google Maps without instantly hanging and crashing the device and regressing to this state. (I found out that clearing the caches helps fixing it. I was locked in that state now a few times without it being fixed after a few normal reboots)

I don't want to imply you should change the default setting but you could advise people with instability problems to change the setting.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Yes I know, I was just surprised that it happened all of a sudden. BTW if you want to save your list of wifi passwords, copy wpa_supplicant.conf in /data/misc/wifi before you clear it, then paste the contents back into the new blank file that is formed after reboot. :)

Wifi works again and I didn't lose my list of hotspots.

EDIT: AHA! Found the wifi bug!

After I did the above, the wifi broke again after a day. What it does is just say connecting. I took a closer look at the wpa_supplicant.conf file and I noticed a new line:

ap_scan=2

Once, I commented that out (use #), wifi was fixed! I took the # away just to confirm, and again, wifi was broken!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Kabaldan,

Here's more on my RAM usage issue. I've uploaded two screenshots. One about 26 hours after boot, and one about 5 minutes after boot. Same services running, and about 20-24mB of "missing" RAM. Also, the totals (used + available) don't match each other. One is 152mB total, the other is 159mB total.

Is there any way I can see exactly what is taking up the "used" GRAY portion...in addition to the services? All ram usage apps I've tried show values that are much too high for each app.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
I have a problem that I hadn't suffered during several months...

When I am in Talk, writing with the hardware keyboard some keys trigger some system apps:

C -> Contacts

B -> Browser

etc.

I just installed CM7 after full wipe some days ago, so don't know why it's happening now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Anyone that can help? I dont understanf where is console :-(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
In Open Recovery,when you boot into it or use Terminal app
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Use procrank and/or ddms, see http://elinux.org/Android_Memory_Usage

The "used" gingerbread running services info includes only part of the memory allocations. The reported values are not to be expected to make a reasonable totals. This has been changed/fixed in ics.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Sorry, but I can't recommend to set the max allowed vm heap size to higher value than 24MB in the case of such RAM limited HDPI device as Milestone.

I don't think that your issues have anything to do with the max heap size setting.

Damaged settings of an app like gmaps can be reset by that app's cache/data deletion, as you pointed out.

All you achieve by setting higher VM heap size is that the garbage collector will be more relaxed. It will be kicking-in later to find and free the no longer referenced RAM. That's all.

If some badly written app would request bigger heap size than the max allowed, there would be very clear dalvikvm-heap 'Out of memory on a xxx-byte allocation' error message in the logcat and that app would be immediately force closed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Ok ill check that out. Do you see the same sort of drop over time in available ram (green part)? Could it be one of the hidden allocations slowly growing?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
My VM heap size is set at 24 but I keep seeing apps like the Facebook app reach around 30MB.

Is that normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
I think your misunderstanding me.

1. When I start GMaps, after a fresh install or not, the device hangs about 99% of the time without displaying any error on screen . Only solution is pulling the battery. I found that changing the VM Heap size allows me to run GMaps without a problem.

2. Than the next problem; Whenever the phone runs out of power or has crashed. The next time I boot it, it will start in some sort of "simple mode". The skin is back to default and homescreen doesn't start (all black). Weird thing is that everything else (network connectivity, reminders, chat) seems to be working.

Usually after rebooting (a few times) the device returns back to "normal". (Skin is customized again and I get my normal homescreen) But my widgets won't reinitialize so I need to remove and add them again and I need to set Swype back as default keyboard.

Sometimes rebooting a few times doesn't work so I learned that if I go into recovery and clear cache partition and Dalvik cache, the next boot will be normal (I still have to reconfigure my widgets and default keyboard though)

I think the "simple mode" thing occurs since I turned off the JIT compiler but after turning it back on again, I still have the "simple mode" problem. (Haven't tried wiping data yet but I think that'll solve it.

I disabled a lot of receivers to stop apps from auto-starting and removed a few packages from the default install.

3. Than a third problem: (maybe related?)

After flashing a new rom, I need to remove /system/etc/init.d/99autoboot_or. If I don't do that and try to boot into recovery (with X key or the menu function), the Motorola logo shows, the screen flashes black and the device reboots and starts android like nothing happened. Every time this happens, update.zip is removed from the SD card but all other OR files are still there.

I've had this with all rom's and OR's I've tried so it's no CM problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
OK update my open recovery and now i found it.

However my wifi is till not working! Any ideas?
