Blackjack 2 Forums

looks similiar to blackberry bold

Can anyone confirm that the method cjpp78 posted works? I would, but I don't own a Jack – still on contract for another year on the Blackjack II.

…logically, it's natural to assume that if you have a mobile registry editor, then it's unlockable, as far as ringtones and ICS are concerned… unless they raped ICS again.

Ah! Something else… I Didn't need to use the MoDaco GPS Hack.

Are you keeping the Wi-Fi option active? if so, that's a MAJOR battery drain. it's best to keep it off unless you're tethered to a charger.

when AT&T released the battery life rating(i.e. 7 hours), they tested it at the low to medium power consumption ratings, methinks. on the i617, i get around 5/6 hours of continous battery life with constant CorePlayer/Opera Mobile/Pocketunes use. running all programs simultaneously(usually OM(standard of 4 windows)+PTunes with CP in the background.

I'm excited to see how the Jack performs with a lower scale battery, combined with *gasp* WiFi! doesn't make since. it's like letting a championship contender slack off before going in for the title bout.

I'm seriously thinking about manipulating a friend into ordering one so i can play with it. from the looks of it it might even have a video call camera! If so, i'll definately forsake the i907(as well as the prettier i780) to get one.

I exchanged my propel for a jack today.  I didn't know that it had WiFi.  Does anyone know if you need a data plan to get WiFi services?  Currently I just have the pay per use internet. 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use WiFi without a data plan, but I'd recommend you to install de Modaco NoData application so you can disable you AT&T Data whenever you want. That will help you avoid those pay-per-use data charges. That's what I do; I only turn Data on when I want to use IM. Hope it helps.

Think I found the solution to my problem.
When I installed "clearsecurity.cab" to application unlock my phone, it installed "mobicontrol" at the same time. It seems the program was always searching for service, therefore running and draining my battery. I removed the program and started with full charge at 2:00 am. It's been 16 hours and still have 75% of charge. Before I did that,  the phone would completely die within 6-7 hours.
