llobak,
Please edit the Rockplayer link when you "quoted" me. I was informed by another forumer that the earlier forum link I added discusses appz... Thank you.

JunkieG,
Please help remove the link as well. Thank you. By the way, watching 1280x720 resolution mkv on a 854x480 screen is a bit overkill IMO

I have to charge my milestone TWICE a day. Do you guys have this problem as well? Can't last more than 12 hours and I don't do much with it. A few short phone calls and a few SMSs. Little browsing.

check whether u have gps, bluetooth, background sync, system update, wifi, email checking, etc settings set to on.

Also check if you have widgets that is always syncing data (facebook, weather... etc). I am using Juicedefender and set to turn off 3G when my screen is locked. Can last 1.5 days on a single charge.

removed the link..... wahahha... forgot that our screen is 854x480.... but still very impressive MS with the rock player can play such high quality file!


or u can try to download "power save mode enabler" from the market... last time i also have to charge twice a day but i'm a heavy user la(coz that time just get the phone ma)..
now i 1 day charge 1 time.

or u can download "APNdroid" from market which enable u to off all the 3G,EDGE,i not sure bout GPRS signal.... i use this when i goes to sleep... last time when i sleep, the batt drop more that 20%. after using the APNdroid to off the 3G signal when i sleep. the batt hardly drop.

guys, rooted my MS.... used SHOLS_U2_02.36.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B806D.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00STARSG_P017_A008_HWp2a_1FF.sbf.gz which i think i've make the wrong move...

everytime i reboot my phone theres starhub logo....i want my motorola boot logo. does this mean i need to unroot my phone?

can do OC now. 1.2Ghz no sweat. I like

pls assist

flash again with the retail south east asia version then u will get the normal motorola logo. but of course u need to root again after that.

i'm quite a heavy user, normally i charge the phone twice or 3 times because sometimes i play games, sometimes i watch movies and youtube and sometimes i browse websites and download stuff for hours

Check battery usage under settings to see wat apps are draining ur batt, then kill it off. I occasionally have "mediaserver" eating away my batt level for no apparent reason, and have no way to check wats causing it so I had to reboot my phone. Easiest to check is to plug in ur charger for a few seconds then unplug it. Leave ur phone idle for 5-10 minutes then u can see which app has the highest percentage of usage for that period of time.

If u have Astro, u can see wat processes are taking up CPU cycles. It can be very handy actually especially to check if the app that u have already backed out is still running heavily in the background (Market reacts this way for me sometimes), then that's the process u have to kill

Leaving GPS on will not drain ur battery if u don't have any apps that use GPS positioning. I leave it on just in case for apps like Where's My Droid & Lookout

With average use my phone can last bout 2 days per charge at stock speeds, with the help of SetCPU profiling
Google for the Moto boot animation n replace it if u dont wanna reflash, or better yet replace it with the Droid X animation

Edit: eh sorry, the Moto logo is not part of the boot animation So u probably have to reflash the sbf

how long your milestone takes to boot? i mean right after u press the power button until u get to see the homescreen.

why its so hard to snap a photo of myself using MS..always my hand keep on touching the Search button when my finger try to snap the photo of myself..damn

thats the downside of having a touch sensitive buttons. maybe u can try an app called pro paint camera. with this app u dont need to push the camera shutter button, just touch the screen and it will auto focus. it takes pictures quite fast if im not mistaken.

can any1 point me to a simple tutorial on how to do nandroid backups? tried searching but not getting any clear instruction

1. download open recovery files. i recommend getting the GOT latest version here - http://www.multiupload.com/ORHI6UI34W
2. in the zip file there will be 1 folder (openRecovery) and 1 zip (update.zip)
3. copy both files into your root sd card.
4. power off the phone.
5. press camera shutter + power button. when moto logo comes up release the power button but keep pressing the camera shutter button, until you see the triangle image with an exclamation mark, release the camera button.
6. press volume up key then press the camera button. this will give you a menu.
7. use the directional pad left or right to navigate thru the menu. select apply update.zip then press the center button on the pad.
8. it will load the files needed until you are presented with this menu - http://groupoften.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/1_main.png
9. choose nandroid menu then you will be presented with options for backup (system, data, all) or restore.

there are other interesting stuff in other menus, but be careful not to install them without knowing what they are for.

nice, thanks bro. planning to flash G.O.T firmware so wanna backup first

hmm i'm getting an error " eocd marker occurs after start of eocd. installation aborted" error. Must i flash da vulnerable bootloader first?

Yes you have to flash it first

Why Milestone 2nd hand price dropping so fast? Anything to complain about this phone?

Couldn't be dissatisfied by Android since the Nexus and Desires are holding up well. Build quality? Keyboard not nice to type? Processor not fast enough?

maybe the brand name..motorola not doin well in this country..

thanks guys for all the battery saving tips. will try them all and hope it works.

seem a details step to do rooting.. but the 1st step is to install vulnerable bootloader first?
very itchy want to root my phone want to try overclock it
