[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
sorry but you should look before you say things like this.

the stock wall charger only puts out 1.0 amp.

A usb from a laptop or pc is closer to 200ma to 500ma.

not flaming you just want you to use correct info.:)
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbaran:
What icon is this???

After installing I have an icon in the status bar that is an envelope with a green arrow pointing down to a blue V, what is that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
I donno. P3Droid asked the same question on twitter, and I never saw an answer. For me the icon never goes away.

Wow! When we get a nice working Voodoo Overclock on GB this phone will finally be perfect! Well, until ICS is released
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
You need source for custom kernels...and until you get a gingerbread ota that is unlikely...fascinate folks have had a hell of a time getting voodoo hacked in to our leak even 10 days later....and im sure tegrak overclock module will work...but still not optimal

Its the price you pay for being on leaked firmware
[Verizon Droid Charge] jonbloom:
Can someone confirm that there are options in this for SIP under phone settings?
[Verizon Droid Charge] burningembers:
Is it just me or does text look grainier and colors a little washed out compared to even a stock EE4?

It looks a lot more like my Epic 4G with Midnight ROM.

On the flipside, I feel like its a little brighter...
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
I want to run GB so bad...but ugh...I CANT go back to that **** brown and gold theme!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Yes relax please, this IS Gingerbread. Its just Gingerbread with Sammy and Verizon's crap all implemented into it. Once a debloated deodexed good lean and mean ROM comes out you all will be screaming glory glory hallelujah.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Dude, its not brown and gold. Its black, grey, and green. Doesn't look half bad. Not the greatest thing in the world though. Talking about EG2.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Thank you sir, I was more or less rounding off to numbers I have been seeing lately. I do, however, have a totally badass wall and car charger that puts out 2 Amps :D

Greatest thing for battery heavy Android phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbaran:
I can confirm that those settings DO NOT exist in this build... There is no option for SIP under phone settings.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Can we get a list of known issues?

If I am considering paying for a normally free leak, I at least would like to know what doesn't work. I have heard rumored that MMS isn't working properly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] szgeti:
I think the envelope-pointing-downward icon might take the place of the grey/green icons in normal Gingerbread. It goes away if you turn off mobile data, and otherwise seems to operate just the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jonbloom:
This build is not Gingerbread if there are no SIP settings. SIP calling was a main touted feature of Gingerbread. This ROM must be a Froyo ROM with minor optimizations and perhaps some zipalignment, and a modified build.prop to reflect the "update" to "Gingerbread".

I call publicity stunt.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
SIP calling can be added or removed based on the what the carrier wants. Just because its not included does not mean its not a gingerbread build.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jonbloom:
As far as I know, the Xperia Play has SIP, is also on Verizon, and is also running Gingerbread.

I have yet to see conclusive proof that this is a legitimate Gingerbread build.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
So out of curiosity, just how many of these Gingerbread features are actually present in this ROM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
I feel the same way. I am probably not going to install it but this could be an early build without it included. It might make it in later but its possible for it to not be in the final release as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
I noticed that at least someone in the world is on an EG4A build, which I'm guessing is a newer version of this Gingerbread leak (EG2). Maybe there's a correlation between ED2/EG2 and EE4/EG4A?
[Verizon Droid Charge] milan616:
The stop and orange glow is present in one place I've found. Tap a contact to open the quick tasks and if you have enough tasks you'll be able to slide sideways to see the hidden ones. When you reach the end you get the GB stop and glow.

As far as the graininess, that is the first thing I noticed. I'm not sure if it is the font or if whatever font smoothing that might have existed is now gone, but it's a font issue. Has anyone tried installing a different font or perhaps flashing/installing their own?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
If its not Gingerbread then why does Netflix work?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jonbloom:
Gingerbread is not required for netflix to work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
One thing I notice, albeit only one afternoons experience, is the data seems much more reliable with this build. No dropouts or need to reboot so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
Maybe Hummingbird processor-based phones need Gingerbread for Netflix to work and Qualcomm processor-based phones don't?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Truth.

"SIP Internet calling. Voice over IP is integrated directly into Android 2.3. Unfortunately you’ll have to get a SIP account from a third party, and the ability might be curtailed on some carriers."
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Notice how the only Samsung phone up there requires 2.3?
[Verizon Droid Charge] milan616:
Switched out the primary fonts for ones I've used before. It's definitely a font rendering/smoothing issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
Gps locked indoors within seconds using gps status app. After a cold boot. That's faster than my moto. Wow!

Anybody else have similar results?

[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
I can also confirm that that gingerbread orange glow is present if you have a contact in the quick menu that has a lot of shortcuts. Also, I am running quadrant advanced and I can see what actually improved to get us to around 1000. It's the cpu. On my Fascinate there was only one thing that made the cpu efficiency go up, and that was upgrading to gb. Voodoo increases read write times and everything else is pretty much the same through rom verisons. Also, my version of quadrant advanced isn't optimized for gb, so whenever I ran it on Cyanogen or the gb leak on my Fascinate, the graphics part wouldn't have textures. This does the same exact thing. This is gingerbread, as much as people are cynical for some reason. All the testing I am running proves it is doing everything a gb rom does. Also, when doing titanium backup, don't just do a batch restore, pick individual apps, because you will mess up your phone. There are some different versions of system apps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
x2 on that. I was going to post this earlier but completely forgot! I'm in an apartment that NEVER got GPS before, and it picked up in less than 10 seconds now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cmdrfrog:
Someone already mentioned that the hotspot app doesnt work. I tried activating it anyway with widgetsdoid tether, which worked during ED2 when Hotspot didnt work, but no luck this time. Even USB tether (which will activate) Doesnt actually do anything.

EasyTether pro works just fine though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
Here's something worth noting. This build seems to come with ' data roaming' ENABLED! Better to shut that **** off IMO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bunklung:
Samsung pulled it from the SGS2.

But you can add it back! (at least on the SGS2)

[Verizon Droid Charge] jonbloom:
That would be because the Nexus S shipped with Android 2.3 originally.
[Verizon Droid Charge] asdecker:
Downloaded the TBH app and saved it to my computer. How do I open it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
You have to download the app through the firefox browser on your phone or transfer the apk from your cpu to your phone and install it. It runs on your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] asdecker:
So I don't have to use Odin to install it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mark7568:
When will gingerbread be out for the charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
Can anyone test and see if their HDMI port is working? the tv I normally use at work shows that the phone it plugged up, the HDMI source lights ups and is able to be selected, but the tv shows no signal. I tried in all the ports to be sure. Gonna try on my other tv's at home.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lonndoggie:
I installed the debloated version, and I'm missing almost all of my market apps.

There's two flavors of issues: Stuff that just plain never came back, but that I can find and re-install, and stuff that I can't even find in the market.

The first problem might be related to the setup wizard FCing. However, once you start the market, it reconnected me to my google account, and sync'ed a very small number of items.

The other issue, programs I can't even see, was a problem on the stock Charge a week ago or so, but got fixed. The problem was caused by Google's recent changes to block apps based on feature requirements; apparently the Charge had some holes in its list of capabilities that caused some programs to not be viable.

The obvious one is MLB At Bat 11. There are paid and free versions--neither shows up in the market for me. And I'd paid for the paid version, and it ain't cheap!

How's the market treating everyone else?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
My apps didn't auto-repopulate like they have in the past, but titanium restored them. I had the same experience of the setup fc' ing also.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
The TBH app is used on your phone, but it downloads a 7zip compressed odin tar file.
[Verizon Droid Charge] IncrediblyDroid:
does Gtalk work Does Gvoice work? How do i go about getting my hotspot to work? I really need that for trips. I might have to wait then
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Can a few people chime in on any issues....camera, mms, Bluetooth, audio, etc, etc??
[Verizon Droid Charge] szgeti:
Music player is very choppy when selecting functions within or opening new apps. To be fair, the music player has been very choppy on every Charge ROM I've tried, but it's worse than usual.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lonndoggie:
Right, Titanium! I'm reinstalling from my BU's now, thanks for the reminder.

However, if you would--please do a search for MLB At Bat 11--see if it shows up as available for you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I should've emphasized. I meant "required 2.3 for Netflix". Sorry.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Camera is better than Froyo, MMS pretends to send but recipient receives a blank message. Audio is low, you can't change notification sound level. Haven't tried blootooth. Also, text messages seem to "connect" to the phone when you wake it up on screen lock. Sometimes they won't connect when its "sleeping" (screen off). I just received 3 texts just now when I pressed the lock button.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
MLB at this point does not show up in market, fyi
[Verizon Droid Charge] lonndoggie:
P3Droid, on Twitter:

"Folks, when you are on a leak, your build.prop will not allow you to see all market apps, you will need to edit it to get them back."

Replied asking "Edit how?" Anyone else here know?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
A quick search here or on Google will do you good for this topic.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Thank-you for disclosing the issues you've found. Honestly, this leak sounds like a GB alpha.. I think I'll wait until a more reliable version comes around.

Thank you for letting us know!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
x2 on that man, in fact I might actually be going back to Froyo because I can't stand having low volume anything. I live in a loud and fast paced environment and I hate not hearing ringtones and/or notifications. I also can't stand not receiving messages until I hit the lock button and "waking" up the phone. Then again, we may be seeing a official version pretty soon and Thursday at about noon the leak will be public so the devs can go crazy and start fixing all of these problems, hopefully. But I've been told we don't have sauce right now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Ya I'll stick with 1.8.5 GC & PBJ OC kernel til the official release of GB gets rooted, seems there are a lot more problems with GB right now, plus everything that is being developed right now is for EE4 so I'd prefer to stay on the one receiving updates.
[Verizon Droid Charge] asdecker:
I unzipped the 7z file and extracted the .tar file and put it on my desktop but when I open Odin and select the file it says the path is invalid. Guess I'm stuck
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
Try downloading again...

Sent from my 4g Verizon Charge!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
Exactly what I would like to know. What are we gaining by moving to this rom? obviously losing voodoo and other theming goodies currently setup with 2.2....
[Verizon Droid Charge] CLTatenza:
Hows battery life so far?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
You won't be seeing the best of Gingerbread until we get a solid copy of GB and we get source. Then our devs will go to work on some AOSP goodness. Obviously when Samsung and Verizon got a hold of 2.3 for the Charge they completely dumbed it down to the point that it barely looks like anything changed from Froyo. Netflix is cool but Alpha Sammified Gingerbread isn't that great to upgrade to it right now IMO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
GB wasn't really intended to be a significant graphical upgrade from Froyo. It was mostly under the hood stuff which results in improved battery life and a faster phone. That being said, I agree that this version of GB is likely an Alpha build and will bring more glitches than it will help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thareefer:
I can confirm to an earlier post that the HDMI output is not working with the GB update.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
To me, this rom is pretty smooth. I'm actually getting pretty decent battery life. Too bad I can't see what's using the battery. It's interesting that mms doesn't work. I've received messages, I guess we can't send?
[Verizon Droid Charge] MrSpohn1:
Warning: LED light widget

Hello all. I just wanted to say beware if u have a LED light widget. I tried putting it in my home and it hanged me a brick. My phoned kept boot looping. It never could reload all the way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Wow, didnt expect that, thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
How about try changing the date to some day in May? That was the other method that worked on enabling the Mobile Hotspot app on the ED2 release.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lonndoggie:
Right. Change ro.build.fingerprint to pretend it's some other device. I reckon the device I'd want to spoof as is the froyo Charge, as that had all the market apps.

Speaking of which, like you, I think I'm about to go back to Froyo (rooted, with voodoo lagfix)...but that was an interesting exercise.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
No problem here with either SMS or MMS. Been txting my girlfriend all night. I confirmed she received all txts, as well as a half dozen photos I took this weekend. *Shrug*

I keep reading all the problems people are having, so I'm ready to switch back to Froyo with Voodoo. Then I think to myself. What exactly doesn't work on this ROM that I absolutely need to have working, and to be honest with you, I can't think of anything.

Important things that didn't work as well on Froyo now work well here. So I'm probably one of the few that will keep using this ROM until a voodoo kernel of it is released.

Examples:

-GPS locks much quicker and indoors/car

-Doesn't seem to get as hot

-Stability so far... but I need another day or two before I can totally confirm that. But so far my phone hasn't locked up like it has before while playing Dungeon Defenders

-I like this Alarm better

-Netflix is important to me

-battery life isn't worse... so that's good.

So really the only thing I'm missing is voodoo. But I been listening to Netflix and Rdio over headphones, and I think it's louder than non-voodoo Froyo. Not as loud as Voodooed Froyo, but that's expected.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Thanks for your feedback!

Question: Syn Ack listed an issue and I'm wondering if you too are experiencing the same issue?

The issue is "Audio is low, you can't change notification sound level."

Do you have this issue?
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
Has anyone tried Bluetooth yet? This is probably the single most important feature that just needs to work for me . . . both in terms of phone calls and streaming audio.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
No problem there

A few reported MMS doesn't work: I am on the debloated build using Go SMS and MMS works fine just sent a picture via MMS and it was delivered just fine.

A few reported mobile hotspot not working: that is correct is is broken however I tested Barnacle and it worked fine with 1 setting change. (check skip wps_supplant)

Sounds: Haven't noticed any different than Froyo in regards to volume.

HDMI: Haven't tested but have a cord will test when I get back home.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nealman:
Bluetooth

I was having bluetooth issues with my Kia Soul. This leak has seemed to fix it. Before I could sync but it would drop out in about 30 seconds or when I tried to use it. Now it works perfect and doesnt loose sync. Also, I have noticed there is a lag time when I open something in a browser. It takes about 10 seconds before anything starts loading. Other than that...pretty solid!
[Verizon Droid Charge] chaoscentral:
SMS/MMS working fine here, as well as volume for notifications etc
[Verizon Droid Charge] V.A.T.Juice:
Not a problem at all with audio? It actually seems louder than prior. Alarm woke me up this morning, ringtones are fine, and listened to shoutcast all the way to work this morning.

Issues I do have:

I can't get rid of the mail icon in the taskbar as everyone else.

SPB Mobile Shell 3D crashes phone when you tap to open the apps menu. (might be the spb not the rom)

Battery info is missing on the usage option not under status. Also missing in spare parts.

My 4G was acting up sometimes last night with full bars, it was after midnight might have been some sort of maintenance. Might be the browser lag issue from the previous post.

I actually rather enjoy this build, VVM, exchange email, and netflix all work. The GUI seems smoother as with other gingerbread upgrades over froyo.

Tested csipsimple(for those upset its missing sip) on our allworx system at work and it works fine. Still playing with codecs.

MMS also worked. I sent a message to my girlfriend and received one just fine. I only sent a picture though, maybe its videos or other multimedia items?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chaoscentral:
i did notice the framrate while taking a video got a tad better, consistant 30fps no slow downs, so i may keep this rom as a d/d until an official one comes out or something based on this rom
[Verizon Droid Charge] muymanwell:
just to be clear, it's a violation of the GPL to charge for the kernel...TBH is trying to skirt this by charging for the app that gets you the file, not the file itself, but it's still shady.

That said, i think I'm going to hold off a bit on this one, as it seems to be half-baked, and there are definitely some holes in this rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
Mail icon in taskbar is gone now. Don't know what happened for it to go away.

Yea I said earlier that this isn't gingerbread. I still feel that its not, but I'm sure I'm wrong. Coming from a different phone with Gingerbread, this build just doest FEEL like GB.

However it does feel better than before, so I'm gonna stay.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
TBH is charging for an app that gives you easy access, and fast downloads from dedicated servers that they pay for. Whats on those servers is free. If people don't like it, they are not forced to buy the app. Just wait 48 hrs.

Also P3Droid brings up a good point. If you don't like the way they leak things, they won't leak things

[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Wait 24 hours and no where in the gpl does it say you can't profit from it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] turnerw:
FYI: You don't have to buy anything. They do release on the site 48 hours after release on app. Plus plenty of others already posted it elsewhere that decide not to wait or decide not to support TBH. Plenty of work was done to the leak to make certain apps work BTW. For example I know Google voice wasn't working originally. Just don't understand you calling them shady?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
What I mean is: I have my ringtones and notifications set to MAX volume. On Froyo, it was loud, I could hear everytime I got a message or call, loudly. On this, just like Alpha Froyo and Vanilla Froyo for the Fascinate, the ringtone volume set to max seems like its only 75% of max volume. Not very loud. Maybe enough for a normal person to hear, but I'm hard of hearing.

On the second thing about notification volume: if you go to Sound Settings and go to Volume to set your call volume, media volume, system volume, and notification volume; you'll notice that notification volume bar is not there! It was on Froyo. It's not a huge deal, I was just pointing out the flaws. Albeit, you can check the "Use incoming call volume for notifications" box, but then the notifications will be just as not loud as your incoming call volume.

That's all I was talking about, nothing more nothing less. I have heard that some devs have gone to work on fixing bugs and issues, I don't know who because we still haven't been given source yet on this forum.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Because they're charging cold hard cash for something they didn't develop, Samsung and Google did, and Verizon added their crap. They theoretically acquired a leak from a leaker who essentially stole (took without permission of redistributing) the Gingerbread test copy. ALSO, you can't charge money for Open Source. Thank Linus Torvalds and company for that. :)

Ever since I can remember, when leaks came out, they were posted here on the forums or on IRC, FOR FREE. Also, they were rid of any and hopefully all backtracking information that led to the original phone tester who leaked out the copy to protect him.
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
I am amazed at the charge community. Stop your *****ing about paying. If you dont like it...wait a day or 2, then download it. Im guessing we wont be seeing any more leaks due to the crying *****es on the forum.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I'm not complaining, I bought the app and I have supported their development work. Someone was just questioning why it was such a big deal that they were charging money for this, and I just explained.

I don't know if you were targeting me at this statement or not lol, but I just wanted to throw this out there. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Its not just the kernal part which is an issue but they are also using imnuts work that was bundled.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
True, and we don't really know if he approved of that or not. So if anything, they should be crediting him somewhere, and offer to donate some of that money to him.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Based on what imnuts tweeted and only what I saw/read with no actual knowledge he didn't know til after it was released
