I noticed it on black screens like in settings that it "lights up" when scrolled all the way. So I thought that may have something to do with it doing it on white background without the "light up". Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Edit- Is there anything that needs more testing right now?

I use advanced task manager to kill apps (yeah I know people say not too, but I do).

Not sure if you know, but Android has a built-in task killer (lowmemorykiller), which is fairly sophisticated. In addition to being integrated into the system environment, it can reach processes that your generic task-killer app can not. There was some work that went into optimizing it with the release GBX0B, and it should now operate at a level more suited for our devices.

A much more effective alternative to task-killer apps are scripts (like V6 supercharger) that work with lowmemorykiller, rather than in parallel.

Just report broken things, thanks. Especially any regressions from FroYo.

I didn't know this, I'll look into the V6 thing. The reason I want a task killer is because I load up enough apps and they don't self close. On TP2 anyways it seems to make OS sluggish and I start to get the force crash/wait alerts. So if I close tasks, I get fewer of the alerts

Had a SoD last night after an hour+ call....waited 15 minutes and put the phone outside to cool...ended up soft resetting. Should I wait longer, pull logs or try different kernel?

Trying a different kernel couldn't hurt, but probably the most helpful thing would be to set up logs running during your long call. Just before you start the call start dumping these three logs to a file:
logcat -v time
logcat -v time -b radio
cat /proc/kmsg

and let those run while you do your call, then when your call freezes up package them up and post them, preferably to the bug report with a link here.
You may want to filter your personal information out of the logs before posting them, especially the radio log will have stuff like your phone number, the phone number of the person you called, and other stuff.

how do we upgrade the kernel?

the only thing bugging me so far is related to google voice, i cant choose it as my voicemail carrier like i could in froyo

trying that v6 script, seems to run into error installing it :S I get error2:script manager but it lets me run script but I don't have an option for run on boot. I can run it as root though and I used the settings arrrghhh described in the thread. I just can't tell if it is working or not

Thanks! I'll jump on this tomorrow when I know I'll make a long call, I take it I'll need to do this with a program via computer and not a logcat app on the phone like Catlog, no? Any suggestions for program choices?
