I dont know if you can unplug it after your in android and plug it back in later... try that too.

I am going to not mess w/ it and leave it, see if it gains bars. I know that a "green bar" isn't a really good unit of measurement, but who cares if I get more bars :P..

The chargering seems to be selective phones. Some people can, others can not. I pointed this out maybe 15 or 20 pages back now, and even tried to ask the irc chat room why mine charges when they all report "Not charging". If you got one that does, your a lucky one. They say it's just something of a form of trickle charge due to the power wattage in the usb cable.
The speakerphone works with the switch placed further back in the command line (Before the keyboard command), but neither of the microphones will trigger when speaker is toggled on. For these two reasons, sound and charging are NOT working... atleast not for everyone. Hope that clears up some of the confusion.

Sound only works in latest kernel. Charging has been working for many kernels now. I noticed it with mine about 4 or 5 kernels ago.
