thanks for the reply. I'll give the bump charging a shot... my problem is I usually get up, grab my phone off the charger and head out the door...so I don't get much of a chance.... i could try bump charging once i get to work...

are there any drawbacks to using the SBC kernel? I've never flashed a kernel before... is it basically the same process as flashing the rom itself?
