[Verizon Droid Charge] gerelee:
im considering going back to my iphone 4, switching back n forth between the charge and thunderbolt right now .... as someone said, there can be quite a bit of lag with the charge, try adding a widget to your homescreen, takes a really long time to load the menu of choices ... i actually like using the tb more than the charge but can't read the screen very well in sunlight, so i use the charge more...

as for the iphone 4, most of the apps are done better than the android version, no idea why but that's the way it looks to me.... a minus for the iphone 4 is lack of voice integration, sometimes i'm too lazy to type a txt msg, so i just speak it when i'm using an android phone... it can be done on iphone 4 but you have to use 2 programs, just a pain in the ass ...

also, i don't have great eyesight anymore so it's hard to read the fonts on the iphone 4 at times, on my charge i've installed bigger system fonts so i can read pretty much everything without wearing glasses

oh yeah, games run better on iphone 4 than the charge... could be because of the smaller screen on the iphone, angry birds seasons can really lag on my charge..

another plus for android is the 'integration' of things like pics... there is an option to share with many different social networks, email, txt, etc... can be done on the iphone but usually have to use a different program....

all in all, it's a tough choice.... the iphone is really easy to use, has some great apps, and is stable for the most part..

the charge has a really nice screen, not the resolution of the iphone, but still looks great ...

too many choices, lol, hope this helps some.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Yea, what everyone else said in comparison between iPhone and Android OS/Charge is spot on.

If you're not ready to settle for a Charge and a bit unwilling to go back to iPhone/iOS, then you can definitely wait for the SGS2. I picked one up from the grey market (expansys) and I am loving it. Definitely one of the best phones i've ever used.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellover009:
I would love to get a galaxy 2 but I don't think its even mentioned to coming to vz, I would prefer to stay with vz, been with them for years and am content with the service.

It's like having to choose from vanilla and chocolate but preferring strawberry.

Only concern with going with iphone is I might get renewed in a 3g data and not be allowed to switch to a 4g device without going for the new tiered pricing if thats what they have if I want to sell and change the phone. There's also low quality on youtube video unless I go wifi and it would be more complicated getting my own ringtones in it. Then again the iphone 4 is well built, reliable and stupid proof. Might be harder to unbrick an iphone 4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
You'll only receive biased answers asking this sort of question here - especially given your posting in the Charge sub-forum.

Having owned both the iPhone4 and Charge, I can say they are both great devices. The answer really depends on what you want to get out of your phone. The iPhone has far superior battery life, itunes syncing keepings things simple, the browser is far superior to any Android browser, and overall - the phone just works.

With that said, Android/Charge is the better option in my opinion. I love LTE, much prefer the 4.3" SAMOLED screen, and love that I can easily swap things like keyboards, themes, fonts, etc. I also like how google does not try to tell you what you want, much like Apple does.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
If you want to lock in unlimited data, why would you lock in unlimited 3G data? The only phones on your list right now to lock in unlimited data should be Thunderbolt, Revolution, and Charge, and I'd say that the Charge is by far the best of the 3.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
It seems like it's coming to Verizon under the moniker Function.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellover009:
The question is when will it come out? I feel like it's coming out later rather than sooner.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Iphone has great build quality.... but that's it

Apple blows. Get the charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellover009:
Anyone played with some nes, snes, and psx emulators on the charge? Can it keep up? Is it true you can use Bluetooth gamepads with android phones and any recommendation on a pad? I played with the xperia phone but was not impressed with the screen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellover009:
I got my charge this Sunday. I totally love this thing so far, it's not perfect but I am pretty happy with it. I am coming from a touch pro 2 phone. Only thing I miss from the tp2 is that speaker phone was quite a bit louder, and even output volume through usb jack to cassette deck adapter is not as loud as the tp2.

There's some trade off and most are positive. it's a little wider but it's thinner and a lot lighter, I definitely do not miss the extra weight associated with the tp2 and it's keyboard. Screen is responsive, I have not encountered any slowdown with the exception of flash heavy sites. But then again I am not running too much unnecessary junk on the phone.

Battery is usually 2/3 by the time I get back home or 6/7th if I don't use it much. I ended up getting the dock and it's nice, you can charge the phone and at same time an additional battery in a special compartment, don't even need to charge phone. Low battery, please, I just pull one outta the charger pop it in and put the depleted cell in there.

I wish I could force the camera to orientate itself to portrait instead of assuming your taking landscape pictures.

Programs I loaded so far are Google maps., Beautiful widgets, angry bird rio, psx4droid (got lunar 2, ff7 and crash bandicoot warped working), unEcm and linda manager (lets me browse files).

I still got some work to do, I have avoided getting the ed2 update because it intrudes with rooting. I've been content with the phone so far so I don't know if I will bother rooting and doing some mumbo jumbo with some voodoo kernel thing. ( I'm still new to the lingo, supposedly it helps make the phone faster).

Upgrades I am thinking of doing is maybe flipping my memory card and putting the difference towards a class 10 card, I ordered some phantomskin screen protector, meanwhile I got the anti glare one from vz the day I got it but I think it just makes it glitter a bit.

Rooting and the kernel thing are still under question.

I love the contrast.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] seboj:
Popcap officially released Plants vs Zombies for Android through the Amazon App Store. It's free today, but it is a huge download at 73mb, so it has to be over WiFi.

Now, it says that it won't work for our Aria, but I've managed to play through the first 11 levels with relative ease. My phone's OCed to 806, running CM7 nightly, with GO! Launcher Ex. The game looks great, and loads fine. I play through one level, and then go to the homescreen for a minute or so to let the phone cool down (yeah, it gets hot). Then I bring the app back up, and play through the next level.

If it ever gets choppy, I just hit the home button and wait for a few seconds, before resuming. I tried to play through multiple levels back-to-back, but it caused the OS to restart. Taking a break between levels seems to do the trick though.

Also, if you play while charging the phone, you might want to remove the battery cover to help cool it down, if you don't mind losing cell signal.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] STaria:
Yea I got it too, same setup as you w/ CM7 nightly & OC'd to 806. Runs nice and smooth.

Heat hasn't been the issue so much as memory. Every time I exit I have a Tasker low memory warning, and I've had the phone reboot while playing.

I'll try your suggestion of going back to the home screen between levels- also hitting the task killer right before playing to clear all the memory I can.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] seboj:
I got my Aria at the AT&T release last year, so the heat could just be because of the age.

I go into the task manager built into GO! and make sure there's at least 60mb free, and it does fine.

Made it through 21 levels so far without a hitch.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] STaria:
So I set VM heap to 48, and it seems to be helping. Not getting the low memory warning so much anymore. Still murder on the battery though.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Darius_bd:
.

Nice games, takes a long big chunk to load but doesnt heats up my phone. But yes, it's a battery sucker. And phone just restarts with RobotekHD
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] brswattt:
I played through plenty of levels with CM7, phone OCD to 806, and it didn't restart, lag or anything. Smooth play ;)

VM Heap is on 24.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Do you mind me asking why you want a custom kernel?

AFAIK there are no kernels designed for the 2.3.4 update although some might work just a mater of finding one. Could i suggest just flashing cm7 that way you can flash some kernels and on top of it you have a custom ROM with a mess of other features.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
I have always been into computer technology and gaming. Gaming software is the number one reason for advances in computer hardware, this is the reason why computer techology becomes obsolete very quickly, because we need more powerful hardware to be able to run the newest demanding software which is multimedia gaming.

I've bought many gaming laptops that range in the $2000+ category so I could play the most recent released games, but I dreaded having to carry it around with me to the coffee shop or beach because the weight would be a burden after several hours. I always wished for something as small and portable as a cellphone that could do everything my laptop could do especially gaming.

A couple years ago I read articles in PC gaming magazines of the reputable GPU company Nvidia making a cellphone that could run games that were on par with PC gaming and all I could do was imagine the possibilites.

Fast forward to 2011 and enter the Tmobile G2x. This is my imagination manifest into reality. This is top of the line, state of the art in true mobile computer technology, a true "personal computer" that has more power than a $600 netbook.

If anyone here is really into computers you understand what I'm saying and you'll realize that if you invest in technology especially computer tech that becomes outdated after a year, you'll want to put your money on the most powerful hardware that you can get, and the Nvidia Tegra 2 is that technology at the present moment.

So forget about what the foolish "perfectionists" say about the imagined "flaws" of this beast of a phone manifest in reality. Forget about getting a Alienware m11x and get this true portable video gaming machine, because if you're a TRUE gamer then you know Nvidia is the way to go.

Until Nvidia releases Tegra 3 you can be sure this phone is capable of pushing state of the art in computer software technology..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
What if I have both the m11x and the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
well if you work the same job I do, then you can't bring your m11x with you on the jobsite :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snake8b:
Kal-El

The next one is called Kal-El. It is a quad core and will blow the Tegra 2 away. Due out this year, but we'll probably see it next year. Check out the video. It's doing stuff only real computers can due today. It's funny, I waited for a dual core to upgrade knowing if I didn't I would regret it. When I see this stuff, I'm glad I waited for the newest technology and didn't settle for a single core CPU.

I wanted to post a link to but I couldn't so add the missing portion yourself:

anandtech.com/show/4359/nvidias-kalel-glowball-demo-shows-off-dynamic-lighting-quadcore-physics
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Again it's all the same, technology will get outdated in about 6 months time, the next most powerful chip is just around the corner, but the longevity of the Tegra 2 if bought today will be viable up to 3 years down the road, because it's just starting to take off and many games are still specifically in development for this dual core tech from Nvidia we will see games that take advantage and look even more awesome each year as the game developers figure out the chip.

So even if the quad core comes out, it'll be about a year from now when it hit's the markets and then give a little more time after that for the game development community to figure out the quad architecture. Right now the shining star for 2011-2012 will be the dual core Tegra 2, and by the time quadcores start to take over, the world will end. So go for broke now with G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Not to mention that Kal-El is for tablets for now.... not phones
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sl0play:
If they can keep anywhere remotely close to this roadmap it will be a very exciting next couple of years!

http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/SoC/NVIDIA/Kal-El/roadmap.jpg
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Those are the years for when the chips will be/have been released. So you can expect tegra2 to start gaining traction this year, then peak in 2012. In 2013 development will start peaking for the quad chips, but tegra2 will still be a viable chip, how single cores are at present. Although who knows what will happen in the future, we already have something real here already for the consumer market that's designed specifically for gaming.

Yeah, I'm not particularly a fan of pimped Civics, but you can't deny the parallels.

"If u turn the usb debugging off, the /init process run at background will be more than 70%. This will kill your battery life and also make your device lag. Turning it on will save juice on your battery."

I have no idea what he means.
