hi guys...

just want to share with xt720 user how to install app2sd.
but im using ubuntu to do all this..

steps to prepare micro sd:
# format ur micro sd on ur phone..
# then shrink the volume for 1g to ext3 partition and linux swap (128 m)...( im using gparte ubuntu).
# format the ext3 partion using ubuntu disk utilty .U need to ensure the check box with 'Take Ownership of the File System' is unchecked for the partition before you create it otherwise the partition is created and it has superuser permissions only.
#done
Steps to prepare for installation:
# download app2sd version 2 here
# Unzip the downloaded file and you should see a folder "APP2SD Package".
# Rename "APP2SD Package" folder to "app2sd" and move this folder to MicroSD. (place it in the root: MicroSD card/)

Next, simply connect the XT720 to your computer.
Ensure it is "Charge Only" for USB connection and USB Debugging mode for USB is turned on under Settings > Applications > Development.
Once you have the above checked, go ahead to launch a command prompt and perform the following:

Type: cd/ (to get to the root of your C: drive)
Type: cd /android/tools (to get to the folder of the Android SDK which i mentioned earlier)
Type: adb devices (you should see your Milestone serial number showing up. If you do not see serial number, it means there is no connection to your Milestone)
Type: adb shell
Type: su (make sure you do not see a prompt window on your Milestone. If you do, grant permission for it to access)
Type: cd /sdcard/app2sd
Type: sh install_use_busybox.sh (trigger installation of App2SD)
Type: y (to confirm that you want to install)
wait for the prompt to show you that App2SD is complete and a reboot is needed for it to take effect.
Type: y (to confirm reboot. You might notice that Milestone do not reboot by self which is normal)
Type: reboot (if you find Milestone do not reboot after you enter y as above mentioned)

Enjoy after the reboot... this works yes:D
How to check app2sd working or not?
If u see /data/app1,/data/dalvik-cache1,/data/app-private1 on ur mobile thats mean this work..
Then u need open up terminal emulator and type them one at a time:
su
rm -r /data/app1
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache1
rm -r /data/app-private1

or if you have root explorer you can go to
/data, you'll see those folders there and you can delete them if you want

I'd suggest doing it through terminal emulator just cause thats how i did it

hope that helps, good luck guys!

laugh at me, but teach me oso. tq

i think it wasnt the 1st phone using HDMI..maybe 1st motorola phone using HDMI..hehe

Which writting languague??

I think there has a small manual come with the box which teach you how to install chinese input languague.

If not you can go market search for google pinyin.

After that go Setting>Input and Keyboard > check you just installed input.

Then hold & press the input box until a menu come out, select you input language.

i using the milestone XT for 3 weeks already, a great phone with good pricing.

This post has been edited by Quasicrystal: Jul 5 2010, 11:20 PM

Yup. only a bit l ack of apps

a lot available games/software. go search from 'market'

I need teamviewer, skype, both not in the market.

lack of apps? hmmm... it depends on wat type of apps you wan. for game i think android still abit behind apple. but i believe it will grow
For application and communication apps, i believe android wont lose to iphone.
I just got my hand on android for 3 to 4 weeks and i still always get to find some great apps to use in my phone.

Nice phone Not sure shops here already got sell or not.

Yup. A very nice phone. Dunno it support normal tv out put or not

so far from wat i heard only singapore starHub selling it.... if u need it urgently then mayb need to wait for ap set...

Yup. Starhub give free. We still need to pay rm 2know for desire even sign a plan. Malaysia telco suck blood big time

Singapore so lucky

Yes, here all telco is suck blood one, maxis digi and celcom all same.

No free phone, no subsidy, nothing.

sometimes (MOST of the time) they sell much higher than the market price! M'sia telco sucks!

anyway, nice phone you (TS) have there! But I prefer milestone... hopefully the upcoming Droid 2 will have the international version of it...

in sg, limited data package = 12gb compare here 3gb.
here if exceed 3gb will be charged 1sen/KB (is it?), in sg charged $0.0034/KB (wtf)

lolwad.
less than a cent for each kB?

The benefit of a highly IT savvy country...

Maybe the price can drop further after launch here. Also why is avi files unplayable on Android?

anyone can call out using skype? so far i cant call out using nimbuzz or fring. if got any1 can successfully make skype call, please advice.

And their speed is faster and so much faster

Seems like we are off topic already...

What i would like to know about this phone is hows the camera performance compared to the original milestone. Since its equipped with a xenon flash, i expect it will solve low light picture taking issue. Bumping the megapixels doesn't make much different if the picture turns out dark n hazy. Im surprised how good 3gs takes indoor shot even without flash, im not sure if this is android issue or motorola itself.

Could u guys (with the phone) take some indoor shot with the default settings? And perhaps shots with both flash on & off just for comparison.

some pic without flash

saw this phone yesterday at low yat if not mistaken the shop selling rm2200. AP of course...

Korean have a lot extra stuff.



Iphone VS XT



Apple VS Winmo VS Andriod

This post has been edited by KannaSai1: Jul 8 2010, 04:50 AM

hows the battery life of the XT720??

normal sms and call, can last 5-7 days.

extremel use, twice a day.

seems like it has improved battery compared to the milestone.

What type of battery it is using? Like the milestone the model is BP6X. If the battery is the same, then it is a very impressive piece of hardware.

This post has been edited by V12Kompressor: Jul 10 2010, 01:57 AM

Wow...5-7 days is damn impresive for a smartphone......even for normal usage.
i been hearing milestone user get around 1 day for normal usage and less then 10 hours for extreme usage.
mean moto improve it for XT720....

can, 1-2 sms, 1 min call, no internet surfing.

heavy user need to charge twice a day.

Anyone interested getting this phone for rm1.8k? Comes with docking station and pouch and other standard accessories. Later i put the advert.

Camera improved a lot compared to milestone, with 8mp and xenon flash, indoor picture will look better.

And its lightweight compared to milestone, first time i held it i thought i was holding a case instead of a phone. Probably because i already used to the milestone weight.

wow. nice price. any pic? warranty from ?

batt is the best part


Attached thumbnail(s)

Compare with iphone. iphone screen brighter.



Attached thumbnail(s)

emm..brightness can setup meh..

no seller sell this in LYN yet?

@ user, what is the disadvantages of this phone? kinda interested here

they are few seller there. u can find it.

disadvantage, it is very new to malaysia market. so not much accessory are available.

not much found at the moment. will update later. stay tune

i just bought this phone from sg. It's great!

However, i face a serious problem.
I can't use wifi to surf net!!...wat's the problem?
my phone can connect to wifi, but the browser and market could not get connect.
but if i use 3G data, i can surf net and download without prob.

izzit lock by starhub?

Market uses port 5228 to communicate, make sure that the port is not blocked

dunno..i use milestone rite now Starhub..no prob wit wifi..juz motorola gps only starhub block

Added on July 11, 2010, 8:32 pmgot meh..i think the seller shop in sunway pyramid..juz type milestone or xt720..but limited...rm1800

i'm waiting either for this or motorola droid x.
got same spec as this motorola except the screen size is 4.3" only (resolution is same).
droid x will ship to u.s. this july 15th. i wonder when it come to malaysia.
can't wait to get my hands on it.


HOTFILE PREMIUM CHEAPEST PROMOTIONS!
4SHARED PREMIUM CHEAPEST PROMOTIONS!
MEGAUPLOAD PREMIUM CHEAPEST PROMOTIONS!

- authorized reseller & cheapest price (www.6premium.com)
- listed at official 4shared & hotfile reseller list
- selling worldwide (not only in malaysia)
- fast delivery <20 minutes only
- we sell GENUINE VOUCHER only (not some stolen username / password)

droid x and xt720 spec is totally different. the similarities probably 8mp shooter and hdmi port and it ends there. if the gsm version even exist, it will be very expensive, no less than rm2.5k imho considering the fact that its in the same league as iphone 4.

i just bought this phone, using it for few days already. seems like i'm going to let go off my milestone the reasons?

1. lighter
2. got fm radio
3. better camera
4. better flash
5. iphone style 'cut n paste text' (same as in droid x)
6. iphone style auto arrange home screen icons n widget
7. did i mentioned its lighter?

nice phone. once we get froyo, it will be fast.

hey guys n gals.. im taking bulk orders for all the android fone now..

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1483664&hl=

check this out and if u r interested to join the bulk orders.. do let me know.. cheers!

btw.. im closing the bulk order by 1200am 12.07.10

Any accessories for this phone.... such as pouch and screen protector?
Just bought this phone but can't find pouch and screen protector for this phone...
Anyone here selling?

Anyway, this is a pretty nice phone to use.

starhub set should comes with a pouch. since this phone only available in singapore, i guess you can only get the screen protector there.

No. No pouch inside the star hub set. Unless korean set. Korean set got two batt, pouch and a lot of goodies.

I bought starhub set. Got pouch and docking station as freebies.

How long u bought d. The freebies inside the box?
I found nothing extra. So sad

Just a few weeks old. Got two boxes, 1 for the phone and another for the docking place.

I need root for this phone so much

kannasai1 where u bought this phone?

if anyone offer me rm1650, i might be interested to sell this phone

im looking forward for XT720 or DROID X ..
have suggestions u guys? where
can i buy this XT720? any seller?

Good choice. Its a completed android, no need any root.

yap, mine also starhub set. got pouch and docking system, plus SGD50 robinson voucher somemore

really?! actually im being poison by this awesome thingy!! dunno where in kl can play with the demo set.... from ur experience even not root is it still perform ok? can u plz elaborate?

no need set up APN, no need root to bluetooth file transfer.
dunno , a lot more.

no demo set atm. rent u play one hour rm20 .

All android phones need root to give freedom for customization. I want to remove unwanted apps that I never use, wasting the phone internal memory. I also need to overclock so that the camera can take picture faster.

it's a great phone but the metal part somehow made the phone looks cheap, maybe that's just me.

Alot ppl at SG selling this phone @ $550 with pouch and dock, wonder why.

price sign up with 24 mths contract. this is the killing point.

ON sale for AP now is 1950..
this is a power Camera 8mp with xenon flash... wow~

Powerful yes, but a bit slow. At least it can take pictures in total darkness.

ok no prob!! i test kaw2 later... if spoil dun blame me wor...
when where?!
bdw.. if its compare to htc desire is there any different? thinking to get desire oso.. but xt720 seems more interesting with hdmi and 8mp with xenon.. spec is same with 512ram n 512rom... poison me more!!

Desire is a faster phone, have to correct you on xt720 spec, it only got 256mb ram not 512mb. Desire runs on a 1ghz compared to 550mhz on xt720, that will make a lot of differences in term of performance. Only froyo can make it faster, if we never get root on this baby.

Never try desire yet. But no any laggy while surfing.

some sample pictures...


very big picture warning...

wow nice macro shots there. I wonder if its the app that helps or the improved camera

it is the app. i cannot take the chain picture like that if i use the stock camera because it does not have zoom feature.

hd video recording sux. the phone does not have the power to do it properly.

your guys phone from starhub is 550MHz or 720Mhz?

The real milestone xt720 just released in uk... its 720mhz proc with 256mb ram.. the starhub xt720 just same as korean motoroi... with SLOWER speed... if any of you really interested to have this phone. .. don't buy from starhub... just wait for uk ver to land here... do a research 1st ... like true android user do.. here evidance
http://developer.motorola.com/products/milestonext720/
actually I'm now a rooted user... I more prefer to root my phone than stay stock... but rumors said this phone have same bootloader like droid x did.. its locked and harder to root. This phone just the only Motorola's phone that come out to our area with android 2.1.

I don't giv a shi* for those qualcomm proc based phone anymore... I need better proc performance like TI OMAP proc in most motorola phone.. and samsung hummingbird proc... u can see it urself
http://androidandme.com/2010/07/news/droid...t-professional/
SADLY Motorola's market range ALWAYS pointed to US area with cdma ver... we as android user here just stay and watch US android user happy-ly got their latest phone. I actually hate waiting for new motorola phone gsm version to come out here... like we can see the delay of motorola milestone to be available at our country.. if I wait for droid x gsm ver(could be milestone X??) to came out... it will be 3~6 months of waiting ... its almost crazy....

yup. motorola aim US market follow by europe---> korea----->singapore. T.T

If you wait for the uk version to arrive I think you will be disappointed because even uk version runs at 550mhz. Just do a little bit more research (like true android user as you said) and you will found out about it.

There is a rumor about singapore xt720 having a clock speed increase to 720mhz in the future when the phone gets the new firmware update. But as of now, all xt720 runs at 550mhz, unfortunately.

Oh, and another thing, this phone is not the only motorola phone with android 2.1, we also have the original milestone.

but i found no laggy running this speed.

That's true. Normal usage is quite ok.

how to make it lag??



wanna try...

u holding any other android?

when droid X will reach our shore?

do u mean reach singapore or malaysia?

XT720 is not launch yet in MY.

To experience lag, just play around with it's camera and the gallery.

haha.... no feel oso.

coz not much photo inside.

later will try install some lag game n c 1st.
