Damn, I was thinking of that a week ago but forgot to reply...

Always make sure to task manager and kill all when not using the Q.

I always do that and I maintain the best battery life.

Windows media player uses about 80% of the RAM which IMO = battery power.

Is there some sort of program that can kill all programs running? Or does time out after 5 minutes do that?

my q's running great now...ive been watching my task manager and killing apps after use and now i never even have to woryy about battery life...the hack worked as well...still havent had a problem and its running fast and working fine.....it was obviously the apps running in the background that was killing my battery cause i havent had my q plugged in for almost 3 days now and still have a bar of life left...lol...

ive pretty much stopped using the wall charger as well...the usb hookup charges the phone way faster...i jus plug it in qat work every couple days and it seems to be keeping its charge...

therefor i reccoment this hack to every q owner...makes the phone respond and operate alot better....

I'm not so sure of that...

Teh wall charger is only power, while the USB cord also tries to send data...

Does that convince anyone? lol

well i sure am! i jus charged my q from one bar of power remaining to fully charged in about 25 minutes by usb....wall charger takes a good 2 hours...

Damn! Then why can't you charge the Q from a dead battery with the USB?

I think the USB might be giving it a quick charge, but I'm not sure...

Hmm now I don't know how to charge the q

Has anyone done this? I'm being cautious and would like to know if any of you guys/gals have tried this hack yet be fore I try it myself. It's supposed to increase the responsiveness of the Q.

The hack does work and make the Q move faster but, I'm having the same issue as someone else, my Q wont sync with my laptop or pc. I was wondering does anyone know the original settings that come with the Q so I can switch them back to see if this is occuring because of the hack?

How much stuff on the Q do you not want to lose?

You can backup any song/videos/pictures on your PC.

Same with contacts and calender.

All of those are currently backed up on my laptop. Are you suggesting a hard reset?

I reset my laptop and my phone and it worked. The phone was back to normal and it synced with the laptop. Thanks for the response though.

I always format my hard drive every month or so.

Glad you fixed it
