What finally happened to your screen? Any solutions? Mine is starting to act funny. Recovers slightly if I turn off and on again.

even if it's RM300, i think it's not worth it to revive the phone. take this as an opportunity to change phone, preferably with atleast 1GHz CPU and 512MB RAM with 4" screen. Gingerbread keypad is much easier to type than previous version, so not really need the real keyboard.

It usually improves a bit after I lock-unlock the screen. If the kb is weird, I just use the slide out.

Someone on web suggests reformatting SD. Maybe I'll try a master reset too.

The current state of technology is not enough of a leap for me to dump another two grand yet. I can wait for something irrresistable.

I cannot find a keyboard calibration app; can anyone direct me?

Battery life is decent.

Hi, thanks. Can't find it. BTW I'm using original Moto 2.2.1

Manage to live with the problem, using workarounds like voice dictation, slide out KB, spell check-predictor, etc.
but still a butt-hurt. Sometimes must use all three methods to get out one message

Touchscreen test is an app on the market.
Why don't you try running CM7 on it?

Touchscreen Test just confirms that something is wrong.

If there is a hardware problem, would CM7 be able to remedy it?

I love my MS but is more than two years perfect performance too much to expect from phones nowadays? The average dump and buy new model rate is 18 months, according to surveys.

I am on CM7, there is a touchscreen problem when I am charging.

When charging the screen goes haywire.

Hmmm... I wonder if there is something related. My screen problem seemed to coincide with the original charge cable having connection problems. Maybe something loose in the USB jack or near there on the motherboard.

Just speculations, since I am experienced in neither hardware nor rooting. :-(

yes, charging can cause temporary touchscreen problem

Well, based on my experience with the MS. It is one of the trickier devices to hack.
Especially since the bootloader is locked down like a nutjob in an asylum.

But if you follow the instructions properly over at XDA devs to have the BL exploit load open recovery, then you're good to flash CM7.

Even better, you can use your external SD card; make sure it's at least class 8, and partition some of it to be ext3 to be used as an extension of your phone's internal storage for apps. So there's no need for apps2SD and all that nonsense.

To be honest, the MS isn't my main phone, it's pretty much just my tinkering device. Although I carry it around with me for GPS, gtalk, etc.

been quite some time since I last posted here

time has come, sadly for the demise of my milestone and also my departure from the Android world. I'm settling down for a berry. Its been a great phone, until the touchscreen decided to go wonky and we all know without the touch screen working perfectly, the phone can only be a good paperweight.

P/S: I would appreciate it if anyone has any clue about where to service the phone by a proper technician who knows the existence of the brand "Motorola".

their service centre la

bro....

my MS is dead oredi

now hang out to d2g

The HTC chacha is a great replacement.
Aiming for that to replace the milestone.

doesn't like the looks of it.

I moved on to EVO 3D, 4 times the RAM amount!

Hi guys,

I just got ann Milestonne from. Mr.Lai if you know who is he. I found out the phone encounter Ghost screen after searching through the web, may I know it cause by the malfunction of digitalizer. Or others hardware nor software issue? Btw search and back key not working.

Hope to receive some feedback fr u all, thanks.
