I used the B2B ROM this weekend as a tether for my laptop. But I noticed after a while that my phones battery was drained. It seems that it wasn't charging the battery while I was tethering. Anyone else notice this before?

I've only tethered a few times, and only one of those would have been long enough to impact the battery, and it was definately charging then.

Have you tethered before with that laptop, and are you certain it was charging then, too?

The reason I ask is because laptops can have reduced USB power output, especially if the laptop is running on battery itself. The reduced power may not have been enough to charge the phone.

Not quite in that scenario... I've noticed that on occasion while using my phone as GPS in the car that it stops charging even though the cable is seated well and the power cable is in the power socket very well.

Even using the zoom option in the beta that is in both the kitchen and the pre-built ROMs, the zoom feature is limited.

Opera is still much better than IE when it comes to the smart zoom INMHO.

I personally want to apologize for this question not being answered yet. Strange posted a link that has proven to be beneficial to everyone who uses s2u2.

One more thing to note, If you cooked s2u2 into Scott's rom, you are running an older version (1.44). The current version is S2U2 1.5d. It is more stable, a lot of bugs have been fixed, and it can be located here:

Here is the catch, you need to recook your rom without 1.44 in it in order to get 1.5d to work from what I understand. s2u2 has been evolving so fast, I'd never cook it into the ROM FYI.

THis is very true, tho IMO S2U2 doesn't perform up to Pocket Shield... Can someone confirm My last version was 1.42 and I found it all to be a bit sluggish. I'm sure me being on a vzw phone doesn't help but...

I guess thats what the extra 12.95 will get you.
