Guys I just got off with Verizon. My wide is going to go pick me up a Droid charge tonight!!!!! From what he says it can only be done in store. But today is 7-18-11 11:03 am and Mr. Kevin says I'm getting a charge. Wooo hooo

Sent from my Miui Fascinate Glitched ML.
[Fascinate General] fue9o:
Finally got my charge ordered today. Seems like some reps know about the problem and they're more than happy to help. Others just don't know whats going on.

I'm going to miss MIUI though and all the great fassy Developers.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
The voodoo control plus app does have charge support. So voodoo sound on a stock kernel is now possible.

good day. using xda premium.

UPDATE: on the 15th I i spoke with VZW lever 2 tech support. and they said they was going to send me a charge. today i opened what should have been my sweet new phone, and whats in the box??? another fascinate(with a cracked screen???) i called VZW customer support again and got transferred to level 2.. Nice lady told me that it was there mistake, and that samsung is offering the charge as a hardware replacement for the fascinate, but because of the difficult programming of the sim card to your account they cant replace a 3G phone with a 4G phone without being in a store. she called my local coprate store, got everything set up. and hopefully my charge will be here tomorrow.. hope this helps. but those of you who arent being offered a charge. you should b.. so i have another day, of this lame bloated touchwiz 2.2 laggy no service crap. about the time CM7 gets fully functional and the fascinate becomes a good phone.. lol everyone is getting rid of it.. JT i love you and all your work.. please come to the charge
[Fascinate General] gogreenbay07:
I called customer service this morning and after talking to somebody for about 2 minutes I was transferred to lvl 2 support. She gave me the option of either a inc2, droidx2, or a charge. Because I LOVE my sexy screen and would never trade down I went with the charge. The only thing I need on my phone right now is a good screen, decent battery life, and a FFC. Plus 4g is always nice :p
[Fascinate General] foister82:
i did this today and found it quite difficult to get what i wanted. I went to the store first and they once again ordered a replacement fassy overnighted to me. I stated to her many times i have been through four replacements now and it is well documented that these phones have an issue. She said that was all she could do.

I called tech support shortly after and then was ultimately xferred to tier 2. I was on my cell so i could not do the trouble shooting. They offered me a Dinc2 or a Dx2. I grumbled a little to him about wanting to keep a samsung device as i chose a TW device for a reason, and he offered me a Continuum... ugh!

I bickered a little bit more and finally they said they could get me a charge but like someone above said i had to go back to the store. He ended up calling the rep that i talked to at the store and had her order it for me and shipped overnight without me having to go back. Thanks to verizon for the upgrade and thanks to you guys here for the insight! :)
[Fascinate General] GrainOsand:
Got my charge today. You'll need to go to store anyway. While my charge is brand new and came with an 32g SD card it didnt come with the sim card. Which I had to go to store to get. Just a heads up....
[Fascinate General] beenz:
Just do what I did, and flash CM7 for the day :)
[Fascinate General] putney1477:
After missing a few calls today and some haywire issue with gmail, I called, but since I was on the phone they could not troubleshoot. So I went to the store, definatley worth the 2 hours I was there. They offered me charge, driod x2 and inc 2. I went with the charge and it will be here wed. I really loved my fassy, but I am on call most nights for the ER, so missing phone calls is not an option, as I don't have a land line. Verizon seemed to know about the problem and they were willing to help.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
My missed call issue has transcended every modem & rom combo on this forum including ec09/cm7, which have been great overall but haven't been able to address the problem. I've gotten so frustrated with Samsung that I couldn't really even consider the charge at this point (4g won't be in my area for a year) & the signal strength of the dinc2 was on par with my fassy so that left only 1 option for me. My x2 comes in 2 days. Its only 11mos til I'm eligible for upgrade & Motorola is the only smartphone I haven't owned.
[Fascinate General] foister82:
thank you exactly what i needed to know :)
[Fascinate General] Jstevenett:
My charge is on its way! Gonna miss the fascinate developers. Hopefully the charge development will take off soon!
[Fascinate General] dmt619:
I called tech support, and they tried to troubleshoot over the phone. The Tech is sending another Fascinate. Not sure what to do. I really want them to upgrade me to a Charge.
[Fascinate General] droidnew:
Same thing happened to me dmt619..... I called Verizon, got to level 2 tech support and was ONLY offered another fascinate. The replacement came today. I activated it and missed 3 calls within 2 hours. At that point I took the phone to the Verizon store. The "greeter" at the door called my phone a couple of times from a couple of different phones and my phone worked both times. I told her I wanted to talk to someone anyway. The Rep (a very nice young lady) asked what my problem was. I told her I just activated the replacement phone a couple of hours ago and had already missed some calls. She, of course, tried to call my phone. She called it 3 times and 2 of those calls were missed! She then called tech support. They told the rep that it was a known issue and she offered me a dinc2 or dx2. I then asked her to ask tech if I could get a Charge, because after all I got the Fascinate for the nice screen! She asked tech support and they said sure....give him the Charge! I should get it Wednesday. I will have to go to the Store again to get the sim card, but it is supposed to come "complete" :-). At one point the rep even told me that she couldn't believe they replaced my fassy with a Charge! I couldn't pass up the Charge as I really do love the screen, AND I do have 4G coverage in my area. Also, no changes were made to my data plan or upgrade date or anything else.

(just my experience)
[Fascinate General] zim2704:
does anybody know if verizon will warranty the phone and replace it with a charge/x2/incredible2 if phone was purchased used through ebay?
[Fascinate General] Carsondaly:
As long as it is less than a year old they will.
[Fascinate General] zim2704:
Well I'm currently on the phone now and this guy doesn't seem to think they will......been on hold for probably 20min of this 25min call......
[Fascinate General] fitti28:
when i called on friday they ran me thru the ringer for 45min and at end offered a refurb fascinate. i said thanks but no thanks i will deal with what i have as i will prolly have same issues. I called back this morning and tier 2 support offered x2, dinc2 or charge. Dinc2 she could overnight doing order over phone or charge i would have to go to store but everything would be noted already. i went to store to check out both and decided to take charge which will be here tomorrow.
[Fascinate General] fitti28:
all fascinates should be under warranty as it only came out in sept 2010. I would reference ost 70946 which is supposed to be a notice to vzw from samsung to warranty the phone with something equal. but you have to speak with tier 2 support
[Fascinate General] Carsondaly:
well I wouldn't tell them you bought out on ebay b/c to verizon it makes no difference. If you go to a local verizon store you will have more luck than calling tech support. Just make sure it is a corporate store and they will give you your choices. Make sure to ask for the charge even if they don't offer it, unless of course you don't want the charge. Best of luck.
[Fascinate General] Bardasian:
I'm in the same boat. It'll probably make things a little more complicated.
[Fascinate General] zim2704:
well no dice......never told them I purchased from ebay only said that I purchased it full retail. They will not replace it stating that it was "customer provided equipment" and they take no responsibility for any hardware or software problems.
[Fascinate General] Slic|<:
Call tier 2 tech support directly and don't even mention where you got the phone just say that you had dropped calls and they will ask you are you sure (basically) and just say yes and say that you heard you can get a replacement for an exchanging of another device, and depending on whether they know this or not they will check the policy or they will tell you which phones you want. Because it has already gone through all tech support except for stores that Samsung has issued an policy for a "recall" of an exchange for a device from VZW since samsung screwed up... choices are usually DX2, Dinc2, and Droid Charge (in store only) and mostly all refurb but with new box (kit). They had just recently issued an kit about a week to 2 weeks ago from what the tech had told me. He was pleasantly surprised haha. Hope this helps. You shouldn't have a problem.
[Fascinate General] quarky42:
I'm jumping over to the Charge. Went into the store and ordered it last night. I had to educate them about the replacement policy on their own system. Be careful if you have to do that.... no one like having the customer tell them how to do their job, regardless of whether or not the customer is correct.

I told them a very brief history of problems I have had with this phone. I mentioned that I had recently reset it to factory default myself and still had problems with receiving text messages and missed calls. I explained that I had been looking up some information about this problem online where I noticed there was a new replacement policy in effect for the Fascinate to get customers into a different device. I asked them if they would look this procedure up for me and gave them the terms to search in their InfoManager system.

They tried to do the replacement on their own without looking up the article. I had to ask them, nicely, several times to look up the article so this could be done correctly.

My receipt says KIT in the item name. My refurb Charge be here on Wednesday. I contemplated jumping away from Samsung. My friend has the Charge and hasn't had any problems with it so far, so figured it would be worth a shot. I absolutely love the screen on my Fascinate and the Charge seems like a small step up.
[Fascinate General] foister82:
Samsung warranties the phone for 1 year regardless of where it comes from and if you make a friend in a retail store they may add a extended warranty for you to save for future problems :)
[Fascinate General] shasha1334:
That's odd, I got mine on craigslist and they gave me no trouble with getting a warranty replacement. I would call back and try again if I were you
[Fascinate General] tnez:
Called today but didn't get offered a different phone. they're sending me another fascinate, switch is fine cuz I do like the phone. But if I get missed calls on the replacement I'll push harder for a different phone.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
They've got alot of fascinates coming back now so they have more to send out. Mine will be one of them layer this week.
[Fascinate General] praasch:
i just stopped in at a retail store today and the charge is completely out of stock at the warehouse. didn't jump at the dinc2 or x2 yet as i haven't had a chance to play around with them.

would love the x2 for the bigger screen and hdmi out, but dinc2 with the sense ui would also be great.

kinda hard to give up the 32gb stick though from the charge. no 4g anytime soon for my area so that really doesn't matter.

decisions decisions....either wait out for the charge, which has no timetable, or going with something else.
[Fascinate General] deaffob:
Curious, where are you guys at? I live in NYC and they didn't give me any problem. The woman said I can pick anything.
[Fascinate General] ssmaster:
will they replace a phone with a cracked screen??? The cracked screen has nothing to do with the reception issues obviously.
[Fascinate General] j3oomerang:
Don't tell them it's cracked and if they bring it up after they receive your phone tell them it must have happened during shipping.
[Fascinate General] deaffob:
lol that's what I was thinking.
[Fascinate General] strictlyphat:
Hey guys they do have the charge in stock for what we are doing. I ordered a charge at one of the stores Monday. It came As a refurbish missing all accessories. I went back today at 6pm after work and they realized they messed up and are overnighting it to me free. I will have a charge tomorrow before 3pm
[Fascinate General] anoninja118:
got mine overnighted and came with everything but the 4G sim... definitely worth it

tapatalked from my VZ Droid Charge
[Fascinate General] glsteve:
I have a feeling im gonna have the same problem.
[Fascinate General] lane32x:
Warehouse is out if stock in Ohio too. The guy gave me his card and told me to call back every few days.

The way I did it was that I let him look up the info in the computer and he's actually the one who recommended the charge.

Good news for me though is that we have 4G here.
[Fascinate General] praasch:
Stopped back in today after I called and was told the warehouse had more units in. got there and was told nothing was in. ugh.

Rep said let me work on something. Ended up ordering a refurb - phone only. He then started looking for the battery/cover pack but couldn't find one. So he hooked me up with an extended battery and cover from the store at no charge. Droid charge was overnighted and should have it tomorrow.

Freaking awesome. Only thing I don't know about is the 32 gb memory stick. I'll ask about that tomorrow when I get it activated.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Looks we got in on the deal just in time. Preliminary reports from the development section seem to show that the full ed05 odin package may be the official software fix for missed calls. Anybody have any regrets for moving on? I know I don't. So far the dx2 hasn't missed a beat and GB soak test is on.
[Fascinate General] Bardasian:
What do you think about the X2? I know development is basically dead atm, but as far as build and speed?

Sent from my Incredible 2
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Overall, I like it. Build quality is great. It has a more solid feel than the fascinate but it has its quirks as well. I'm not a fan of blur or touchwiz either but there are more elements of blur that I find useful & it is less cartoonish than twiz but also less colorful. Love the display size but the qhd isn't as vibrant as the amoled, although it's nice & bright & text seems sharper. Also like the lack of status bar burn-in, I was already seeing that on the fascinate. The phone reception & call audio are much better as are the gps and 3g stability. Running stock has its issues just as it did on the fascinate, both have issues of lagginess but the x2's stem from memory mgmt not file system format. And motorola seems more responsive with ongoing support than samsung has shown itself to be. As far as development is concerned, it's already rooted with a working bootstrap cwm and has its first custom rom available. Someone is also working on adapting the atrix bootloader unlock for it too. GB is currently being rolled out in a soak test pending full ota implementation and I think everyone's waiting for that to happen before putting much more effort into devving. For me, this was a positive move because the x2 covers the bases I need covered: excellent reception & call quality & solid 3g performance with enough potential and challenge to keep me engaged.

Edit: Almost forgot, it was new & the battery life is crazy good. Off the charger at 12:30, dozen calls, heavy forum usage, some texts, couple dozen emails & about 220mi of travel in& out of marginal signal areas; it's now 10:48 & I still got 40% left!

Edit#2: An atrix developer just ported the 2nd. init exploit to the x2, providing a workaround for the bootloader lock & opening the door for cm7 apparently. Still no custom kernels yet but things are moving.

Edit3: The cm7 port has begun!

Edit4: Just an fyi for anyone still on the fence- CM7 alpha for the x2 will be out shortly...
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
afaik 2nd init doesnt allow custom kernels...aosp yes but no kernel goodness and that kills a good portion of performance enhancements

really if you buy a moto phone its not for development, but for good signal and build quality
[Fascinate General] shahud:
Do you guys think it's still possible to get my fascinate replaced with a Charge?
[Fascinate General] Bardasian:
Yeah, if you push them hard enough. The policy will probably be eliminated next week, so I'd call tonight or tomorrow for your best chance.

[Fascinate General] praasch:
Alright i got my charge today but didn't get the memory stick as they ordered me the refurb and not the full kit.

Wondering if anyone else got just a refurb and if you were able to get the 32 gb stick sent to you.
[Fascinate General] strictlyphat:
Man that sucks I got the kit like a brand new phone. 32 gb stuck and all. At first they send me a cpo phone only no battery back nada!!!! I called back and the reshipped a kit. If you can wait call em back and get resent a kit. So worth waiting.one.more.day(talk them into overnight for free)
[Fascinate General] praasch:
Called *611 and spoke to them...girl was ready to have me buy one at a local retail store and then get credited on my statement...she checked with a manager and they apparently told her I wasnt supposed to get one and to use my 16 gb one from the fascinate.

So now to call the local store where I got it and talk to them.

Ugh...so close...

Hi!

I have problem with my P500.

I connected to my wifi router without any problem, but internet doesn't work for me. :(

Facebook aplication works fine - i can share posts and talk with friends, but when i want login to Android Market or enter to webpage - is't not working.

WTF? :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jacob_:
Wake up.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jacob_:

I can open 1, 2 or 3 pages, but no more. It's still loading, and loading... In this time youtube/android market/messenger works fine...

I REALLY NEED HELP.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
what rom and kernel? is this an issue with your rom? maybe u need to configure something under wireless&networks (I've seen people having issues like this because of there access point name)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jacob_:
Rom: default, 2.2.1. kernel 2.6.32.9

I set manually IP etc. but no effect. :(

OMG, this is the basic thing. You should know this...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jameslepable:
wow it didn't work because you didn't put your password in, ask your network administrator (or am guessing one of your parents) for it. also sometimes they are left on the router themselves I know Virgin UK leaves the password for there routers on the router itself
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:

Hey people, this is my first post ever, but I've lurked for awhile so hello!

Anyway, I had the sensation a few weeks ago for 12 days then decided to return it because I wasn't too high on sense and coming from my rooted and rom'd vibrant it just didn't seem like a drastic improvement like I was expecting.

Now since htc has promised us an unlocked bootloader and the devs are so close to cracking it anyway...I have a small dilemma lol...

I was holding out for the hercules which is ironically coming out around the same time the sensation should at least be opened up finally, so here us my question...what would you guys recommend? Wait for the hercules which most signs are pointing to it being a better performer stock for stock, or get another sensation and patiently await root (again)?

I like the hercules for what it is and could be, but the one thing I REALLY appreciated about the htc despite all its shortcomings was the qhd screen. I despised the speaker and call volume, and its general performance as an actual phone...but I will be keeping my vibrant for that regardless.

With all that said, what you guys think?
