do these to save battery juice

1. download apndroid from market. its free. add its widget on your screen. always disable (red color) when not using internet. possible issue: if u use wifi then afterwards u cannot connect thru 3g/edge/gprs, need to reboot the phone.

2. set the brightness level to lowest and probably disable auto brightness. screen uses the most power, so the brighter it go, the faster it drains the battery.

3. disable 'background data' and 'auto-sync' feature in menu - account & sync setting page. use them only when required.

4. use only 2g network for normal usage (sms n call). menu - wireless & networks - mobile networks setting page. if this setting enabled and u enabled the apndroid, u will only get edge internet connection. u can still get fast browsing speed with edge if u use opera mini browser, but only recommended for sites that dont require logins for security reason.

5. turn off wifi and gps when not in use.

6. use dark wallpapers?

7. install task manager app. any app that can kill those apps which still runs in the background, but make sure to put system apps or 'always running' apps in the ignore list. 'always running' apps such as 'voice dialler', 'usb', replacement launcher/sms/keyboard clients etc. u can clear the phone memory at the same time.

hopefully u could get 2-3 days uptime with light usage.

just wait for proper system update-lah. we consider lucky already having 2.1 not like some phones that still stuck with 1.6, if u know what i mean.

i was thinking about selling my sg set (with otterbox case) for rm1.3k. dunno if got ppl wanna buy. funding for the milestone xt720

Do a factory reset. If it keeps restarting still, it might be a hardware issue.

If you do a google search, it looks like you are not alone. Have u tried using the phone with a different simcard and sd card? If it still happens then it would be better for u to go for the warranty claim.

Im using 2.31.0 without any issue. btw, where to get the latest build?

since its a brightstar unit, why dont u go and claim for warranty. who knows, u might get a brand new replacement unit.

try soft reset and hard reset - http://www.hardreset.eu/motorola_milestone...t_reset_en.html

or buy a traditional alarm clock

look for '2.1 kernel fix of scheduled CPU wake-ups' section at the bottom.

he's comparing milestone with nexus one, thats why he complaint about the lagginess. i would love to read his review on x10.

if only our milestone got another 256mb of ram... right now need to be very 'jimat' when adding widgets to the screen.

i still got 1 otterbox case left by the way.

can u swype short words like 'tq', 'fyi' etc?

Winmo very limited app, but if u really like winmo then get htc hd2. Me? Windows in my laptop is enough trouble already.

use v2 thread instead.
