I had to do a hard reset as the phone went into reboot hell. I finally got it done after about 50 reboots. Am/was running gingerbread. Now I have three problems:

1) I keep getting messages about something failing motorola.something.com I think with force close as the only option. It must have happened at least 50 times today (every coupla minutes), but of course now, it won't happen. Whatever it is doesn't seem to have any effect, except pissing me off.

2) I can't find the setting or whatever that tells the screen not to blank when it's charging. I looked on my tablet (running froyo), which does not blank when it's attached to power and I can't find it there either.

3) I also can't find the option to have different ringtones for different contacts. This is making me crazy

Suggestions welcome

Thanks for your reply, Frisco.

I did finally find the solution to problem #3 and I got the name of the prog that keeps failing com.motorola.service.main. Sounds bad, but doesn't seem to cause any real problems. It now seems to fail in spurts.

I would love to root this phone, but I'm a big chicken. I have a galaxy tab wifi as well and I think I should try rooting that one first as the world would not come to and end if I screwed it up.

Have you done yours? If so, what would you recommend?

Thanks again.
Z.

 

correction, my tab is the original not the tab 2.
