You only need to be signed in the first time you run it. Same with all Amazon apps. I do not have a data plan, use WiFi only, and that is all I ever have to do and have no problems. If you change roms, after you load your backup you need to be signed in the first timer you run it and that's it.

Im running Bi-Winning V3 and I lost all my progress too! I bet its probably gonna happen again. The game is really fun but I'm not going to switch roms because of it, Bi-Winning is too blazing fast!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GYM_RATttt612:
Could be the reason but I wouldn't say probably. If you look at the reviews of this game in the Amazon appstore people are reporting a lot of bugs including lost progress. While it is true that some of the people that report this bug may be overclocking I highly doubt it's all of them. The bottom line is the game has issues (hence the 3 1/2 star rating) and things like this will happen until these issues are addressed in an update.

I have been running it on Heathen's SGSII clone v2 rom with no problem for a few days now. I haven't enabled voodoo or OC'd because when i've had voodoo enabled before, TW4 FC'd a lot and it seemed to run hot. But so far, i've had no problems what so ever with voodoo disabled and no OC.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jddunkley:
I dunno if anyone has mentioned this in particular. I did see someone said that if they get a text or a call it goes right back to where they left off. Not for me. I got a call when I was on level 2-1 and when I came back it had to load from the hour glass and then my saved game was gone. LAME!
[EVO 4G General] Dratini:
Hi just wondering what you guys suggest I do with my Evo. It has a cracked screen, so I just ordered one off ebay and hopefully it will get here soon.

I rooted it, installed a recovery and then flashed it to UD 3.3.1 and put a Tiamut Kernel on it. SetCPU crashes so I didn't use that, I have Ultimate Juice defender on it and flashed the three zips: Collin, supercharge and vipermod. Any more suggestions? I plan to stay with the rom unless something that much better is out there, I love skipping the boot animations, and the customization it has. I'd prefer the best battery life I can get, I'm a new Evo owner, but I've modded my Droid extensively.

Both of those links contain a ton of information, and links to other useful pages. It has been updated somewhat recently, and it's information is still valid. I recommend all new Evo owners to read those threads, even if your familiar with android and other android devices. I read up in there every time it's updated and always find new and useful information.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PorkFriedRice007:
I was trying out the camcorder functionality of the charge but I was getting an error whenever I tried recording video. Then I took a look at the sdhc card and saw that it was a measly class 2 which is apparently too slow for recording video on the charge even at 320 x480 resolution. I swapped out the card with a class 10 and now I can record without any problems.

Did everyone get a class 2 with their phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
That's so funny you just posted this, I was going to post similar.

My DC came with a Class 2. Dirt slow on writes.

My Thunderbolt came with a Class 4 and I replaced it with a Patriot 32gb Class 10. Made a big difference in how fast camera pics were saved.

I ordered the same card today to put in my Charge. Should really speed things up when writing to the sdcard.
[Verizon Droid Charge] burningembers:
Hmm, Class 2 here, but photos and video just fine on the highest res. Almost no delay either...

Though, now I'm tempted to get a Class 10 just to see if I notice a difference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] angry english:
mines a Class 4... how strange...
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
Mines class 2 and video works fine.

Wondering if it could be formatted to ext4 for a speed boost? Anyone done this or know how?

[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Class 2 in mine but I pulled it and threw a class 10 I already had. Also have a Class 6 and that works much better also then the elcheapo class 2 it came with but I thinking I'm sticking with the Class 10 for now
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
This is the class 10 card I bought for my Thunderbolt, and have the same arriving today for the Charge. Patriot Signature 32GB Class 10 from Amazon.

Solid performer, very reliable so far.

Those of you who say the class 2 performs well, set your camera at the highest resolution, super fine, etc, everything to make the saved pic as large as possible and take a pic. Once the shutter snaps, start counting "one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, etc..." On my Charge just now with a class two the picture isn't finished writing to the sdcard until somewhere between four and five. I'll do same test once I get the class 10 installed.

On my Thunderbolt, the exact same test just now and the pic is saved instantly; I can't even start to count. Granted, the software in the TB may just be better for the camera, but on the Thunderbolt with the Class 4 it shipped with I saw a noticeably quicker save.

Benchmarks on the two phones class 2 write 7MB/s, read 16MB/s; class 10 write 13MB/s, read 24MB/s.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Thanks for the info. I didn't realize how terrible Class 2 is/was. I tried out the Class 2 in my SGS2 and WOW. Slow to just r/w.

Ordered a Class 10. Wanna try it out. I went with Kingston from Newegg.

Patriot, $130ish from amazon

[Verizon Droid Charge] burningembers:
Is it worthwhile for me to blow that much money on a Class 10, or does the phone itself have some sort of capability cap that would make a Class 6 or something a little lower just as good?
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
It was $87 for the Patriot 32gb on Amazon. I've purchased two at that price over the last three months. No tax, too. ;)

Only you can decide if 50-100% performance boost is worth the price. I can tell you that the difference between Class 4 and Class 10 is noticeable, very noticeable. I've had Class 6 cards, but never in the same phone as a Class 10, so no direct feel for it. You might compare some benchmarks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] joereist:
Thanks for info, just pulled the trigger on the Amazon one. The camera slowness, including audio not matching the video, is the only part of this phone that made me miss the iPhone.

It's my primary camera for taking pics of the kids so it us to work well.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
class 2 in mine as well but video and pics come out great. i havent had any issues to consider swapping the card.
[Verizon Droid Charge] INeedYourHelp:
Unless you're running Linux on your PC, this would be bad because Windows can't see Ext4, so you would not be able to transfer files to it.

I got the Patriot 32gb class 10, but I haven't even took it out of the package because of all the negative reviews it's getting (i got it from newegg):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...547&cm_re=patriot_32gb-_-20-220-547-_-Product
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
No issues with the Patriot here, but all those reports of corruption on NewEgg are disturbing. No sign of it here, but gonna be more diligent in backing up. I've had the card in the Thunderbolt for about 10 weeks I guess (got the TB on first day, got the Patriot a couple of days later).

However, I installed one in my Charge and while it makes a bit of a difference, the difference is not nearly as noticeable as the upgrade from C4 to C10 on the Thunderbolt was.

Camera is still slow to save a maximum resolution image, maybe 3 seconds, compared to 4-5 on the C2. On my Thunderbolt, image saves are almost instantaneous. I need to test this a bit more.

Patriot Class 10 in both Charge and Thunderbolt, the Charge benchmarks slower with SDTools app. Like 11MB/s writes and 20MB/s reads. This is pretty squarely in the middle between the TB on C10 and the Charge on C2 I posted earlier.

Seems like i/o on the Charge not optimized perhaps?

I still endorse upgrading to a C10, but not quite as strongly as I had earlier. I'd certainly buy it from Amazon or someone else who has as liberal a return policy (Amazon = 30 days, no questions asked, they pick up the postage) in case you decide the cost/performance-upgrade ratio isn't satisfactory.

32gb class 2

:(

I found this on Patriot Memory site, thought it might help somebody that buys a class 10

(cut and paste, not allowed to post links yet)

32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 on Android and Windows 7 Phones

We have found that there is an industry wide compatibility problem with the new Android based and Windows 7 phones working with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards. We have seen issues with the Samsung Focus, Motorola Driod/X, HTC Evo 4g. We are currently working on a solution for this compatibility issue. Google and Microsoft have stated that there are known compatibility issues with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards and are working on a solution as well.

We have found a fix that works in many cases, where you format the card in a Windows based PC, with FAT32, allocation size 32kb, and full format. This is not an official fix, but troubleshooting steps that has worked in many cases, we are still working on a permanent solution for this issue.

Thank You for choosing Patriot Memory!

My Lexar class 10 is instantaneous , huge, huge speed conference to class 2 junk.

Class 2 in a HD device is a engineering mistake.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
That's wierd that so many people got a Class 2. Mine came with a Sandisk Class 4, absolutely no problems so far, have most of my apps moved to my SD card and it still seems to fly. Bought mine last Monday from HH Gregg, guess I just got lucky. :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Instantaneous at what? My picture test? Sounds like the Thunderbolt's results for me. You do have the highest resolution and superfine set, correct?

Agreed on class 2 in an HD device.

I may spring for a Lexar for testing. Or try my other Patirot. I was surprised/disappointed that the results of upgrading to class 10 were not as fantastic as they were on my Thunderbolt. Bad card, perhaps?
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:

[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
I have been shopping for a class 10 card and quite frankly almost all of them have reviews where the phone reports the card as corrupted after a short period of time. Can anyone recommend a 32gb class 10 card that has been reliable in their Charge?

thanx
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
I got a replacement Charge (screen issue with first one) and this one has a class 4 card (I previously had a class 2). I think the upgrade from a class 2 to a class 4 already is noticeable in the phone boot-up time. The boot-up time when I first turned on my replacement was the fastest I have seen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Was your replacement sdcard fresh and empty of data, or did you copy over your old one?

The time suck on the sdcard during boot is usually the media scanner running through every folder and subfolder looking for pics and movies and audio files.

If that's an issue for you as the card gets filled there's a little trick that can shored up the process greatly: put an empty file named .nomedia in any folder you don't want scanned. Really shooters up getting my phone to a usable state on boot.

Other optic is to use autostart app from the Market and block media scanner from running at boot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
As previously stated. I've began using the Patriot 32 Class 10 without issue on my Thunderbolt for three months.

I've just put a Lexar in my Charge for sorted testing, but had a Patriot in it four a month without issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] TheHybridFrog:
I got my charge 2 days ago (first android smartphone but I do have a transformer) and I have the class 2 card.

Will I notice a huge difference day-to-day using a class 10 versus my class 2? I'm not going to be doing max-res photography or anything, but I do play games.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] binglejellsx2:
Mine is a Sandisk Class 4
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Mine's a class 2. Highest resolution pics go pretty instantly, but I may just be lucky with my card.
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
mine came with a class 2 but i was able to play a 720p MKV file stored on it through the HDMI port with no problems at all. would one expect there to be a problem when doing that with a slow card?
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
It was fresh, which is probably why it was so quick on first boot. It seems back to normal on subsequent restarts.

Thanks for the useful tips though!
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
No, that kind of stiff souls be okay.

The biggest dotted gains on the microSD cards are in write speeds, not so much on reads.

Playback stuff I don't notice difference, but file saves very noticeable difference on my thunderbolt... not as noticeable on the Charge with the camera. I suspect three camera software is just slow on the Charge vs the Thunderbolt.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bweN diorD:
mine came with a 2, i swapped it right away with a 4 i got from ebay a while back. the 4 test @ 4-5w and 12-14r, i just ordered the 10 from amazon.

I realize that this may not be considered a "good" question since it's not hardware or software related, technically, but is there any truth behind this? This is not the urban legend that popped up at the office, I really feel that when it's overcast I get not only worse speeds but a less reliable connection. I'm in an area, Denver, that is supposed to have solid coverage.

Is there any correlation?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiutehcuhtli:
That's what I figured, but it sure seems to be the case sometimes. Let me ask you this, is there any suspicion of Sprint doing what AT&T and T-Mobile do and cutting data speeds after a certain amount of usage (I have read that T-Mobile cuts their HSPA speeds in half after 4 gb of data have been used, may be less, and that AT&T just cuts it period so people don't max out their limited plans)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josuetenista:
I need all the possible Radios that I can flash to my At&t Atrix to improve speed.

I live in ecuador and since last update 4.1.83 the connection speeds are terrible. Ping times also very bad. Already flashed the telstra N_01.87.00R and the speeds increased significantly but its not as good as the radio included on the 4.1.57 update. Already tried to flash this Radio but I got no connection. Wich other radios could I flash to my At&t Atrix?
[Thunderbolt General] cuguy:
So I've been looking for a way to try that GB sweetness on my Tbolt. The leak a few weeks ago was very tempting, but due to bricking issue and the fact that the leak is just a test build made me hesitant.

After googling GB update for TB, a few links came up that suggest that the TB and Evo should get official update to 2.3 in June.

Here is my question: I just saw an announcement for Evo update to 2.3 on June 6. When is it our turn??? I know it's a bit antsy but they can't just throw a wet cat in front of me and not expect me to beat that sh#$ up.

But seriously, anyone got news?

here's a poll for ya speculations

:)
[Thunderbolt General] wroder84:
Even if sombody has a date its always wrong. So let's get over the guessing game. The bamf gb rom is flawless you just need a little experience when it comes to wiping data and radio updates. But I have had no problems once the ROM is up and running.
[Thunderbolt General] wroder84:
And battery life is better in this ROM then froyo from my personal experiences.

Going to have to add another vote for BAMF GB. Loving me some "ROM of Death" ;}
[Thunderbolt General] Braggo:
The latest CM7 Alpha build from Slayher is almost problem free for me (no big issues, all data etc. working great) and I've had lots of problems with previous builds. It's worth a shot.
[Thunderbolt General] mdeblaz:
I'm guessing there will be some more leaked builds, but the final version and OTA won't happen until September... 4 to 5 months after the first leak seems to be the standard procedure with VZW and Android updates...
[Thunderbolt General] BrainfartEris:
I got an email from HTC yesterday and was told that Gingerbread will be out this summer.

I Emailed HTC to complain about the constant rebooting issue and battery life after the OTA.....bla bla ect ect & asked when the Tbolt will get Gingerbread and this is what I received back.

Dear XXXXX XXXXX,

I understand your device is randomly rebooting after the latest OTA. I will advise how to back up your contacts and perform a factory data reset. If the device continues to reboot we are currently advising customers to swap the device out with Verizon, but I will provide another option as well.

I do not currently have any information that indicates the cause of the rebooting issue or whether it is possible for it to be resolved in a software update.

I can advise you that the Thunderbolt will be receiving Gingerbread this Summer.

To back up your contacts launch the People application and press menu=>import/export=>export to SD card=>Phone. If you are not sure that your contacts are in Google you can repeat this step and select the Google category.

The Thunderbolt is usually configured to mass-reinstall your Market applications after a factory data reset if you log in with the same Gmail account. If you wish to avoid this for troubleshooting purposes you can open the Market and press Menu>My Apps and uninstall your applications. Alternatively, after the factory data reset, you can wait to enter your Gmail account until you have had a chance to test the phone functionality.

A factory reset will clear all of the settings and data from your phone's internal memory and restore your device to its default state. Media on your storage card, which includes your pictures and videos, however, will not be affected. To perform this reset, from the home screen, press menu=>settings=>SD & Phone Storage=>Factory Data Reset.

If device behavior continues we are asking customers to swap their devices out at a Verizon store. However, you can also use your warranty with HTC by calling our warranty provider PCD at 1-800-229-1235 (8:30 AM - 5 PM EDT M-F).

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number XXXXXXXXXX.

Sincerely,

Douglas

HTC
