About your icon - your ear pushed on to the digital clock and changed it to analog. Just hold the clock down and u can change it back to digital.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! never knew that about the clock. As far as the battery, I am using the charger that came with the phone. I think it was so hot that it stopped allowing itsself to charge. Guess next time Ill take the battery out and call her back after a few minutes. Or buy a larger freezer and make my calls in there.

Try changing your radio to 1.11F. It's possible your battery is getting so hot it is overheating and not allowing a charge. And if that is the case then you will have to take the back cover off and maybe even put a fan on it.

No problem

And yes flashing a different radio could make a huge difference in how hot your phone gets. I personally found the Telus 1.04 radio to work pretty good for me. I was originally on Sprint 1.00.

I still don't think that you can charge your phone faster than you can discharge it though while on an active call. I've never seen this on any other phone before, but thems the breaks I suppose..

How many mA does your phone use making a call? I think it's less than 300mA which if you have a charge over 600mA you should be charging still (unless your battery is like 50C).

Im now using that fast charge app from the nue guy. that charges it at double the regular speed I believe. not sure if that would be fast enough to work. I still think it was a over heat issue. Also the radio I have been using is 1.03.03V. That thread that said which radios are best for which areas said 1.03.03 is best for LA. It is usually but I noticed in my home I get 0-2 bars only. And they are the little skinny bars from Mikes ROM. Maybe Ill try another radio...

Maybe try the updated stock radio version of 1.11?I have it and it doubled my battery life from the older version of 1.00 and gave me better reception.

I just like 1.11F because it seems cooler and a little better in the reception department. Those in marginal areas benefit the most.
