[LG Revolution] cryptyk:
First thing I noticed is that the phone is sooooo slooooow. It was unbearable. I don't know if there was something wrong with the demo model, because they only had one, but it was almost unusable. Flipping between homescreens would often get stuck halfway for almost two seconds, then continue the flip. Flipping through the applications menu did the same. Occasionally it would launch the app I started the swipe on because it didn't register the swipe gesture.

I noticed the same thing about the Charge, but not the Thunderbolt. Maybe it's just software they have installed at the store?
[LG Revolution] shadowdude777:
Definitely something wrong with that demo model; homescreen lag is normal on the Charge, but I noticed the Revo was FAR smoother than the TB and Charge and the touchscreen was miles ahead of the other two in terms of responsiveness.
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
I have the Revo, and there is very little lag.. once and a blue moon i have it.. It is a great device. I am not a big fan of the home, so i am using adw ex and this phone is GREAT!
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
My Rev lags when I end a phone call. It takes about 5 seconds to exit the dialer. This phone also has issues with the Real Player App. It won't let you stream online videos while using Real Player. It has an error message that says null.

It also seems to take forever to charge. When I had the Thunderbolt, it seemed to recharge 4x as fast. I know the Thunderbolt had horrible battery life, but that was pretty much solved with a custom rom.

The 2 best things I found about this phone are Netflix and the HDMI mirroring. But without any custom roms, I regret my decision to trade in the Thunderbolt within 14 days and get the LG Revolution.
[LG Revolution] wseyller:
I agree a problem with demo model. I am looking to buy it soon. I have been in two verizon stores a few times to play with this phone and the competition (tb, charge). I've tried every function I can and I do see any problems yet. Homescreen, apps drawer, and swype was no lag at all.
[LG Revolution] gr33nT:
sadly, the demo model at my local vzw was also not a good representation of the phone. it had serious touch responsiveness issues. almost swayed me to get the charge. i ended up buying the phone because the majority of reviewers from androidforums didn't have the same issue. i do experience slight lag sometimes when drawing my unlock pattern after not using the phone for awhile, but other than that little hiccup, couldn't be happier.
[LG Revolution] decaturbob:
just got a revolution for the wife, i see no problems with any lag so far
[LG Revolution] ColonelSeitan:
Definitely sounds like a unique case, the Revo that I played with in the VZW store was way snappier than my charge, which has tempted me to possibly switch. Trying to figure out whether I should hold out as dev support is picking up on the Charge(to make it function quicker) or just switch to the LG.
[LG Revolution] ClarkSt:
I had two different Charges in two weeks - and now have the Rev. the Rev has better touchscreen, as others have said, and I don't see any lag at all. The interface on the Rev is so, so, so, much better than the Charge. For once, I, personally, am not overly tempted to use a different launcher. I like the widgets the few custom widgets they have, though I can't wait to de-Bing it.
[LG Revolution] kwiggington:
I def like my revo now bing has been booted and crapware gone the ui is kinda growing on me

As the title says, is there a way to change the SGS2 lockscreen wallpaper that is included with ComRom 2.0?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
sure there is...

it's a jpg named zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw at 480x800 in size.

Located in \framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\

Just use 7zip to swap out file within apk and adb push back to device.

good day.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrbonesx:
That was easier than I thought it would be. Thank you.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smeed:
Where is that file located? I can only find twframework-res.apk in the community rom 2.0
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrbonesx:
In system/framework/ there should be a file named framework-res.apk. Pull that file and look for the file zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg in /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/. Replace it with the picture you want, posh the apk back to your phone and reboot.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smeed:
I assume I can use droid explorer to pull that file? Here is that location and that file is absent.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jstevenett:
Do any of the themes that are out change this wallpaper?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
yes you can go to gallery, select any image and press " select as" it will give you an option that you want to set it as home screen wallpaper or lock screen wallpaper
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
Since we are using the sgsII lockscreen ported to our frameworks the above process does not work for us. But in the upcoming update of the comm rom, sbrissen has added wallpaper support for all lock screens. So within tsm parts you will be able to select and crop an image that will be used across all lock screens.

good day.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderStick:
First of all: Just got a replacement phone yesterday from insurance so I have confirmed this problem on two different handsets.

The problem: When setting up chrome to message at bottom of screen on phone says "error: unable to connection". Chrome to Phone connects fine on the PC End but just not through my phones.

Any ideas would be great. By the way I tried this immediately with the new phone straight out of the box with the same results. Tried clearing the app data. Just not getting any luck with this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inexplicability:
Yeah I sometimes have problems like this with the app.

Are you on a wifi network? If you manage to log into your google account, try to disconnect that account (on both ends) and then reconnect. If all else fails, just try removing and reinstalling until it works. Sorry, this is the only help I can offer, but these steps usually solve my problems with the app.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKing:
Key Issue

There is a limited amount of phones that can be attached to this service at any given time... I have no idea how many that is but I have the same issue and mine was caused by phone replacement and flashing roms if you did not disconnect phone properly it will not allow access again....

This is a major issue that google team needs to address especially with the amount of DEVS there out there so this has been a major problem for me as of late... Do not go to extremes trying to get this to work like wiping your phone and the like. Unfortunately all that can be done now is just wait... some people have gotten lucky with uninstall and re-install of the application but its a 50/50 Chance...

Hold tight if I get more info I will post it here.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leecavturbo:
updates? got this too now on new rom
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leecavturbo:
hmmmm changes by google by the looks

.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grnlantern79:
I was reading something one time that everytime you flash a new rom it makes you look like you changed phones, so you have to go to Google some where can't remember and unlink that phone from your account. You have to do this after every Rom flash.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnyjr:
I got around that issue by just opening a new g-mail account and attach the chrome to phone to the new g-mail account.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leecavturbo:
google are refreshing or making the number of devices registered higher. A forum with hundreds and hundreds of ROM swappers are reporting they were unable to connect then a google technician said the process will happen shortly, low and be hold next day hundreds reporting now working again without having done a thing. Yes google say alot but this time they did

New camera firmware in Samsung apps version 11.5.01 just a heads up for those that removed Samsung apps
[Galaxy S II General] Arthur Hucksake:
Yeah, wont let me install it for some reason. Says its already installed, when it isnt. I had the previous one a week or so ago.
[Galaxy S II General] Pyrone89:
Same here.

where exactly do you find the update in samsung apps?
[Galaxy S II General] Eattheirdead:
My question exactly, can't find it.

Edit: You say you have a version 11 of Samsung apps?! I have Version 2.5.039... Is there anyway to update Samsung Apps?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
A guy from another forum, Triforce, made me notice this:

If the phone its idle, it will show UMTS, but if its transferring data it will have HSPA.

Anyone have experienced this with an AT&T Atrix?.

I tought I didn't have HSPA, but I was wrong o_O.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josuetenista:
Yes i just realized that. You can use an app called "Network switcher alert". It always switches from umts to hsdpa after you turn screen on. Is there any app to lock only hsdpa?

Enviado desde mi MB860 usando XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
Maybe its something related to the phone system, meant to save battery?.

Its not a big deal, since you have HSPA when you transfer data. You should not need HSPA when the phone its idle ;P.

Did you solve your radio issues?. I used the 4.1.8.3 the whole day and it works perfectly.

The phone never gets hot, not even under heavy usage.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josuetenista:
I am using the 4.1.8.3 radio and works just ok. I tried all the possible radios and same result: dropped calls, poor internet connection. In conclusion my SIM card is failing. Or could it be something hardware related?

Enviado desde mi MB860 usando XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
I'm using the 4.1.8.3 rom with latest Gingerblur and its working fine.

Sometimes I loose signal completely, but the signal returns after a few seconds.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markh7999:
I see it flip from umts to hspa as well. My question is what is the difference from hspa and hsdpa? Sometimes I see the network type change to hsdpa. Anyone know why and what the difference is, if any...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
HSDPA stands for High Speed Downlink Packet Access

HSUPA stands for High Speed Uplink Packet Access

HSPA stands for High Speed Packet Access and it includes both protocols above.

[Verizon Droid Charge] cryptyk:
Not trolling, but the phone was almost unusable. I'm wondering if your purchased phones out in the wild are better.

As I would try to swipe between application or home screens, the Charge would "stick" halfway through for about a second, then complete to the next screen. Even when it didn't stick, it was changing screens at maybe 5fps - very jerky. I saw that it had a live wallpaper running (pink/orange with vines swaying back and forth), so I moved to a normal wallpaper. That helped *slightly*, but it was still very laggy.

Sometimes it would completely miss the swipe and register as a click instead, launching the app I happened to start the swipe on. The apps launched quickly - the camera app was perfectly responsive. Makes me wonder if it's demo software they're running, or maybe the bloat UI-ware installed?

Did you guys notice anything similar on real phones, or does a different rom (unbloated) make things better?

I noticed similar issues on the Revolution in the store, but the Thunderbolt was working great. I'm deciding between the three phones and some feedback would be valuable. Thanks!

[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
So get a tbolt or revo. WTF kind of an answer did you expect on a Charge forum. Do a little reading. With minor tweaking the phone runs super fast. Move on troll.
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
I would go with the charge. It has the best battery life, screen, and is the lightest. Also it has an hdmi port. Once you install voodoo lagfix on it it runs as smooth as any phone at verizon. I had the tb and all it did was die and reboot on me. Also this phone doesn't have a bootloader so it's easy to root and such. The tb root process is long and the revolution has to be bootstrapped just to have a custom recovery which is annoying in the long run. Also sense roms are 180+mb while a touchwiz rom is only 110 mb. So there is my input. I say 1. Charge. 2. Thunderbolt 3. Revolution
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Unuseable HA!!

[YOUTUBE]NJBtVZehnNY[/YOUTUBE]
[Verizon Droid Charge] cryptyk:
Thanks Papi - Helpful to know that voodoo lagfix works on this device. I thought it was only for Galaxy S devices. I couldn't find mention of anything different on the official voodoo website.

It's also helpful to hear real world comparison of someone who's had the TB and the Charge.

It seems weird that basically all phones coming out have something fundamentally broken with them: GPS won't fix, lag, reboots, camera quality, etc. You would think that at least one phone would come out and just *work*.

Suzook: Relax, man. I was asking if the demo software could be causing the lag. I searched both the Charge General and Charge Dev forums for the word "lag" and only came up with *one* result of a guy recommending OCLF on the market. That made me think it wasn't a common problem. Notice that I said the Revo showed the same problem - I'm not trying to diss your phone.

Geez. It's the internet. Don't take **** so seriously or you run the risk of giving people the impression that you're the drunk guy at the party who's angry and wants to fight, and nobody knows why.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cryptyk:
DroidXcon: Holy ****! That's ridiculous! Clearly that phone is capable of much more than the VZW setup.
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
I never had lag on my droid charge but I am the type the of person who is a crackflasher and I love changing my phone. I never had problems with this phone ever. And ignore the others they troll everyone hahah you could make a thread called no lag here and they would troll and purposely lag there phones. Just relax and go get a charge. We love adding to a community
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Unbloated definitely helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
Its all good. Thought you were a troll. I have owned the tbolt, revo, and now Charge. IMO its the best of the 3. Its just my opinion though, everyone likes different things.
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
See our community is a loving troll one. I too love to occasionally rip someone apart but if it comes to buying a charge I am all for it. This phone has blown me away. Just download lagfix to increase the beauty.
[Verizon Droid Charge] qubanaso:
to each its own huh lol but I too come from the evo n its def faster than evo n lets not talk bout the LTE!!! whooo fire lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
I can answer this since I have owned all three of those phones. ThunderBolt (sold it 5 weeks later) Revolution (nice phone, but was concerned about potential lack of Dev support) Charge (nice phone overall, awesome screen).

Yes the ThunderBolt is pretty darn fast and so the drain on the battery. It has a bit more RAM, but other than that the processor is identical to the one in the Revolution.

I had the Revolution for day and I had no lag at all with mine. Snappy, good feel overall, the UI wasn't an issue for me (its subjective) but it seemed as though dev support wasn't going to be there. Turns out XDA-Developers did in fact open a forum for it and its rooted, no more bing.

Charge, again snappy enough, but if there is anything causing a perceived slow down its Touchwiz and perhaps the rfs file system. Both of these are easily address, Voodoo lagfix swaps the file system from rfs to ext4 and voila you get your speed back and Touchwiz, well choose a custom ROM or a different launcher (most do anyways).

I also found the demo units in the store to be on par with each other, but who knows what has been done to the demo's you tried. If I had to choose based on overall product I would get the charge => Revolution => ThunderBolt. They all run 1ghz, and customized to do what you want but sometimes it takes a while for the devs to get everything we want.

The charge has issues with BT, battery life, reboots and lockups. I couldn't deal with it. The Charge is the ONLY one I could get to pair with my 2010 Subaru BT and that was key for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cryptyk:
Thanks for the awesome perspective. I've decided to grab a pair of Charges from Amazon while they're $149. One for me, one for the wife.

Quick question:

Do you actually mean the charge (in bold), or a different phone? Seems like it might be a typo...
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
He means the Thunderbolt
[Verizon Droid Charge] elliott35:
My phone might be crazy but I get around 12 hours of strait use on my thunderbolt running @1. 4Ghz

And no reboots yet lol

Edit-

32+ 10Gb storage don't hurt either

THUNDERBOLT
[Verizon Droid Charge] dcc123:
Absolutely no lag here with altered beast. The only downside is remnants of touchwiz.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cryptyk:
OP here - Just received my Charge and wanted to followup. It did the EE4 update within about 5 minutes of turning the phone on, so EE4 is my only experience vs the phone in the store. And it's snappy. It isn't buttery smooth, but for a stock kernel without voodoo, it seems perfectly acceptable. It's my wife's phone, so I'll probably just leave it stock until she complains about lag - so far, so good, though!

Thanks for all of the comments.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Altered Beast is definitely awesome and fast. Just needs some work and TO BE UPDATED TO EE4
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTreezy:
I understand that phone cameras have weak sensors but has anyone come up with a way to capture pictures in .RAW format?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidel:
That would be useless for a phone with poor ISO performance and low pixel density.

You might benefit from being able to change white balance but anything else it would do no good.

Also if it would be possible, the gallery would need to be able to read raw files. It would also have a hard time creating thumbnails and viewing would be slower.

If you need raw, stick with an advanced point and shoot or a DSLR camera.

The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if future phones (way way in teh future) had that feature.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Though it would be interesting, it really isn't all that practical. It's more of a "I happen to have it with me camera".

I think you need one of these:

This rom is based off of the latest leak for the evo shift. Big thanks to my friend aamikam for the original work on this rom without him it wouldnt be as great as it is now... And another huge thanks to Seo and snq for making most of these 3.0 features work on 2.1.... this rom is so good im releasing it without beta testing and in my opinon its the best 2.1 rom out

Features

Issues

You tell me, i havent found any

NOTES:This is an odex rom so a full wipe is required. I am not responisble for any damage that may happen to your device.

This rom boots very fast so dont be surprised if its loaded before you take your finger off the power button...

Very fast rom, great work. Few things I noticed so far are the 4g is there in the quick settings and sprint boot animation/traces of sprint throughout the rom, and weather wallpaper for lockscreen doesnt work, weather live wallpaper is missing. Other than that, this runs like a champ, fastest 2.1/3.0 I've run.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Awesome! I can't wait til you guys reveal the new project! :)

I can't wait to see how it works for you. Now that I know that you haven't been wiping your system partition, I understand why you were seeing basically the same performance from the different roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:

Excellent Rom, just installed yesterday, but one question, how do you get the stock gingerbread keyboard on here, I found download links for 2.1 and 2.2 but I like it better then the stock sense keyboard. Do I use the one made for the Evo?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I search "gingerbread keyboard" from the market and install the "Keyboard for Android 2.3" (free) by Steven Lin. Seems to work well with all the roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
jermaine, idk, it seems to be the same as it was before i did all these wipes.

how long of a delay is there for when you unlock the screen and the weather animations show up? mines like a 5-7 second delay, whereas they would show up instantaneously on other roms. not really a big problem, but idk i like them haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I just tried mine and it's about a 3-4 second delay the first time and about a second or 2 after I lock and unlock again.
