Sanosizo, what app are you using to set the speed when your screen is off? QUOTE(sanosizo @ Jan 7 2011, 10:49 PM) Cool thing about wifi tethering is your phone acts like a wifi access point where up to 5 wifi capable devices can use the internet coming from your phone. And you can still make and receive call at the same time. It is safe to run the phone at 1ghz because that's the original speed. But to save some battery power, I keep it running at 800 and slow it down to 300 when the screen is off.

hi cybergal, its the one the first one, http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index....0008806b00aRCRDi noticed that without installing the driver, just plug the phone to the pc thru the usb cable, you can transfer file just fine but the phone will not charge thru the usb connection, after installing the driver the phone will charge and transfer file =) Not so good news to those who intend to root the malaysian set which comes with build number JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0 all the following method will not work: Z4 mod Superoneclick Droid2method no one click job here, need to flash the sbf file, hmmm abit risky if anything goes wrong. anyone rooted their malaysia set? what method u use? Added on January 9, 2011, 9:44 pmhmm anyone got papago running? which is the latest version for android ah? confusing here, got X5, X2, M7???? whats the difference???

Greenday, my phone does charge via USB. I can see my photos using the File Manage window on PC but I cannot see my videos.
The built-in GPS is also highly inaccurate. I took photos of the places and they are tagged with GPS co-ordinates. I checked on the PC but they are all in the wrong spots!
Also, I check my open apps through Advance Task Killer, and many apps like YouTube, MySpace, Voice Dialer, etc. automatically open, how come?
The default browser, I cannot organise bookmarks into folders.
I hope you can help me. I still have so many questions!!

Not sure about the picture with GPS tagging but GPS is quite accurate everytime I use it. You need to make sure there is a GPS lock on first though.
The GPS icon must not be flashing when you take the picture.
All those apps are open in the background. Unless you delete the app(need root) or configure the task killer to close them each time you turn off your screen.
I think you can try to get different browser for a change, opera, firefox and quite a few have mobile browser.

u install the driver first, then go to: MB525 => Removable storage => DCIM => camera (the video should be there) mine is
the open apps maybe due to widgets u place on your homescreen, or maybe they are autorun during startup in the background, you can disable it with Startup cleaner pro, you can get it free in the market
the default browser does not have folders function to organize bookmark if i am not mistaken. get dolphin browser HD from market it is free and have folder function for bookmark

By default all programs are loaded into the memory every time after the phone starts, this is standard in all android phones, making sure that the programs are ready to be run instantly when we hit the program icons. Android has its own memory manager but if somehow you wanna free more memory for let say a 3d game, then the third party task manager will be needed.

Greenday, I have installed the drivers already.
Do you access photos and videos through "Moto Phone Portal"? I can only see the recent PHOTOS. The "View All" link doesn't work for me.
The new driver also has no improvement.
