[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
There are those who prefer 354 to 351.

What you probably need to change is the fingerprint in build.prop. To do this your phone has to be rooted.

Search here in the forums or you can DL the update.zip file for the roms from here and then unzip and compare the build.prop files from the two roms.

The update.zip files are useful for a lot of things, such as restoring system apps you deleted and want back.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well I did make it clear that it was my opinion regarding 354. :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I should have added that I don't understand that preference and that I have not gotten any reason other than "it's newer' or 'it works better for me'. Can't pin down what makes other think it is better other than 'feel'.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I recall you saying that. Part of the reason for the smiley.

For the OP, he claims better battery life and ease of customization. He doesn't have to remove anything except for Stage, because there's apparently no bloatware in 354. So customizing 354 is quicker, but that doesn't automatically make 354 better than 351.

I make it rather simple for myself. I don't put any ROM on my Streak unless it has 00 at the end. The exception will be StreakDroid, if I feel I need it for whatever reason, and if as expected Dell doesn't release Gingerbread for the Streak.

[LG Optimus 2x] Neefy:
Hi Forum!

So I rooted my optimus 2x, backed up and removed the f-secure and car home (uninstalled), but now there's a S/W update up? LGP990-V10c afaik.

Is it safe to update through PC? Read about about some people bricking their phones, and I'm still all-new to this whole android thing!

Appreciate the help :-)

Kind Regards

~Nefy
[LG Optimus 2x] mariusdroid:
Relax just update is ok!
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Then after the update, all you need to to is re-root, re-remove your chosen bloatware, and re-enjoy you phone. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Neefy:
It's asking me to do a security backup, should I do this? Something like that
[LG Optimus 2x] amateru:
If it's F-Secure asking to do that, just ignore it.. You're gonna remove it anyway

But do the regular backup, contacts, memo, things like that, before you update
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
Can you please, confirm that update went ok for you?
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Same scenario. The update worked great for me. (It didn't even wipe my phone data, but it's always a good idea to backup. Just in case anything goes wrong.)
[LG Optimus 2x] Neefy:
When I use LG Update Service, it told me if I wanted to make a security backup or something along those lines?
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
It's just asking you to backup your contacts/notes/calendar etc. I didn't do that anymore. Just went through the update without backing up since I already have a nandroid.
[LG Optimus 2x] Neefy:
What is a Nandroid? Is it something I should get (not need, but would be smart to get), if so any guides around or such?

Appreciate it :-) Sorry for the newbie questions, just don't want anything to go wrong! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] unfugor:
a nandroid backup is a backup image created with clockworkmod recovery, aka cwm. cwm is a minimalistic recovery os you can install it on your phone alongside the rom you are using
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
I think Smartflash is the way to go. You can find a stock image at modaco. Boot into APX mode and flash away!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aerdely:
Currently I have a deal going to trade my inc2 for and thunderbolt. Mainly for the 4g. But since I have achieved s-off and cwm recovery. Not sure where the problem may ly. I'm on the stock Rom which I backed up before I flashed CM7 so I am totally stock other than recovery.

Question is will that matter if we swap at a Verizon store or should we do it by our selves
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
if you do it at the store they may be like oh well this voids your warranty so they wont care if it's s-OFF
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
So I was just reading.this of how the iPhone might have 4G LTE (anyways ) it says on the article the thunderbolt is one of the most expensive phones made in the market right now , that sounds interesting

http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/Ne...-Provides-Insights-on-Rumored-LTE-iPhone.aspx
[Thunderbolt General] mohkg:
so whats the total price $262 because i thought i droid charge was $300 for a overheating peace of plastic ...

htc>motorola>****sung
[Thunderbolt General] Bonetwizt:
I paid 175 bucks for my TB a few months ago. Got more than i paid for. as the reply above me says, the Charge is much more expensive and inferior. Motorolas are cheap, because they are cheaply made. Lower quality screens and since they arent unlocking their bootloaders on verizon, they are getting more money from verizon per handset, offsetting the cost.
[Thunderbolt General] Agentbolt:
Seriously? Do you have ANY evidence of Motorola having a financial incentive to lock bootloaders? Other than a "friend" who works at one of those companies?
[Thunderbolt General] tiktik627:
I'm glad I have mine !:p
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
Motorola phones have the best build quality, the software is lacking but not the hardware. Every Motorola phone I have had has been built like a tank, including my old X which was extremely light but still a stronger, sturdier phone than anything out. If Motorola phones are cheaply made then all other phone companies could save money and build better phones by taking queues from MOTO.
[Thunderbolt General] jwa0042:
Just saw this article today also, glad i only paid $150 for mine :D

As to the motorola comments, i find their phones to be very high quality and durable. If the Droid Bionic had been released before VZW discontinued their unlimited data plan to new smartphone customers, i would have bought one. :cool:

I didn't like the cheap feel of the samsung charge though...
[Thunderbolt General] x1SHOTx3KILLSx:
If you buy your phones from Verizon retail it's probably one of the more expensive. But if you get them online from Amazon or wirefly you end up saving quite a bit. Ordered my TB on release day from Amazon Wireless for ~200 after taxes/S&H.

I know the Charge is 300 on Verizon's site but you can bring it down to 200 on Amazon. Was going to get my younger brother one but I think he wants to wait if the Bionic actually comes out on the 14th or not.
[Thunderbolt General] johnc810:
My thunderbolt was well worth the 250 price
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
compared to the evo 3d yes the tbolt is very expensive.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I seriously doubt the iphone will have lte this year. Too much of a battery drain and inconsistent signal.

oh yeah, and I got my thunderbolt for 99 on amazon, free shipping, no taxes.
[Thunderbolt General] gdbjr:
Agreed. My X was well built. HTC phones, not so much in my experience.
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
anything first of new tech is going to be expensive first time round
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
I can say this.. the TB is built pretty solid! I've dropped it a few times.. once on hard flooring.. though the battery came flying out.. not a ding or scratch on the device.

The gorilla glass is pretty solid.
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Haven't dripped mine yet , but is good to know I like the feel of the device overall , make no miss the iPhone , I like the fact that it came with 32GB too :), is class 4 butts beer then 8 that most phones come with
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
Well damn, I haven't dropped my thunderbolt but its all scratched up. I dropped my X once and other than the tiny ding that put on the corner you wouldn't even be able to tell it had been used. I put my license and a credit card in the same pocket as my thunderbolt and when I pulled out the thunderbolt it had two nicks in the front silver bezel.
[Thunderbolt General] Mr. Transistor:
Yes sir, you are correct
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
When they say the tbolt is the most expensive phone, they are talking about the most expensive to MAKE, not to buy.

On another note, the charge being $300 is bs. It's mostly made out of plastic...

[Thunderbolt General] 52brandon:
I agree that motorolas are tough phones, my droid 1 was a damn soldier. It fell out of my pocket while I was sitting on top of a 6-foot wall onto concrete with no case. The battery popped out and it dented in the corner on the bottom where it hit but it still worked great. In terms of overall build quality, I know I'll catch **** for this, but the iPhone 4 was just a dead f*cking sexy phone. My androids ran circles around it, backwards, but damn I loved the glass back and its screen was on top of the game for about a full year, which is forever in the smartphone world
[Thunderbolt General] Bonetwizt:
I never said i ahve a "friend working at motorola". It's common sense. They are either using inferior hardware/manufacturing techniques, or getting better subsidy from verizon.
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
Guys,

How do i find that to which Region does my phone belongs to ?

It is made in Taiwan, but not sure about the region. I bought it from Dubai(UAE), but does not includes the Arabic ROM, it i purchased it there before the official launch for that region, so that makes sure it is not from Middle east region.

So, how can I find out the Region for which my sensation was made?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Check the model number. HTC Sensation 4G is the T-Mobile US model, HTC Sensation Z710E is the European model, and HTC Sensation Z710A is the Bell Canada version. I'm not sure what the Asian versions model number is though.
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
For me, it seems to be asian... but which country i need to find out...

[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I purchased the Droid Charge based on the Engadget review of the device. In particular, I wanted a device that could get on the LTE network AND have great battery life. This excerpt sold me:

When it comes to battery life, there's no competition. The Charge blitzed through a full day of what we'd consider typical use, coming off the charger at about 9am and not getting slotted back in again until 9pm the next night. Yes, you read that right, two working days of what we'd consider average use with GPS and WiFi on, taking pictures and videos, all powered by a single 1,600mAh battery. Granted, we weren't running our performance benchmarks at the time, but we were hammering the LTE antenna to get some speed results.

I expected to get, at a minimum, a full day's charge using LTE on this device, considering I live in an area where LTE isn't hard to come by (Los Angeles). Alas, I was sorely disappointed when my battery drained within 5 hours with minimal use. 5 hours!!! How can Engadget claim it will last for two days and that "there's no competition." It's totally misleading. The Droid Charge has a serious battery issue which nobody can seem to get to the bottom of. I even tried installing the latest Gingerbread rom to ameliorate the issue, but to no avail. Has anyone gotten a full day's use out of the device when on the LTE network?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rmanaka:
I just got back from a full day's use on 4G with GPS on, WiFi on and Exchange and Gmail pushing mail as needed. I did not, however, text at all. One of my pages has an IP camera app that updates three feeds (snapshots) at least every five minutes. I am in a pretty consistent 4G area except when I'm at home (Philladelphia suburbs by my home is in a geographically challenged location)!

The phone just turned off as it dropped below 2% so I can't give any battery stats; I've been following the battery recalibration procedure listed here.

Keep the faith...you may not reach two days but you should be able to get a lot more than 5 hours!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
Out of curiosity, which ROM are you using to get this kind of battery life? I just installed the latest Gingerbread leak and my phone is leaking battery at a rate of 15-20% per hour. I saw that re-calibration post, but I'm wondering if I can simply charge my phone to 100% and place the same ROM on top of the one I already installed. Just want to make sure I don't brick my phone.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
If you wondering if you can just replace your current COM with the same one you are using by just replacing the files on the SD card then yes you can. If you're asking about re-flashing the same ROM over it again without wiping during the calibration then you can. It shouldn't harm anything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I've already installed the latest Gingerbread ROM and updated all my apps and widgets on the device. Can I now charge the device to 100%, bump charge a couple of times (per the instructions in another post on the board), and then restart and wipe the battery stats in recovery mode? Or, do I have to charge to 100% and then completely reinstall the same exact ROM on top of the one I just installed?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Stockmoose.

5 hours? That's questionable that you only got 5 hours with minimal use. No Engadget did not lie, and until the 1700 mah phones are released the end of the month, there is no comparison.

Only with Altered Beast and heavy use was I able to kill the battery in under 8 hours. So I would chalk it up to a bad battery. Not everything is perfect.

Gingerbread is a leak, so trying to compare it to the stock rom does you no good.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
You can wipe the battery cache without having to re-flash everything again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Agreed, I was heavily influenced by the Engadget review and was seriously disappointed when I struggle to get a day's worth of usage out of the stock ROM on 4G.

The Gingerbread leaks have some serious battery issues. I reccomend flashing Humble v1.3 (Froyo) and undervolting. Best battery life by far. I can hammer the LTE radio for a few hours straight.

As a side note, all of Verizon's current 4G Android offerings have awful battery life due to having the dual CDMA and LTE radios. That being said, the Charge evidently has the best life out of the three of them. Future phones (when Verizon dumps CDMA altogether in favor of LTE) will have way better life.

[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Curious while running Humble v1.3 and undervolting which kernel are you running atm. And second what undervoltage settings are your using atm currently so yo uare getting random reboots. Reaosn I ask is I just flashed v1.3 this am and updated to Imnut's newest OC kernel but have left it alone right now without touching any voltage settings. So any input would be great and I'd like to set mine nad check it out to see if I can get even better battery life out of it. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Pro tip: Never buy anything based solely on one review.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
This should help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] TheVrolok:
I get about 12 hours with minimal to moderate usage throughout the day 4G, wifi/gps off for the majority. I might have to try this bump charging, though. Would be incredible to get a solid day out of this thing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
9 hours of using my phone to check XDA post, playing bubble buster, and texting and my phone is at 77%. Only thing different on my phone is i'm using SetCPU to undervolt. But even with that. if you are only getting 6 hours with minor use. There is something wrong.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robstamack:
I just did a solid 36 hours by staying on my home Wifi almost the whole time. I'm using Gummy Charged 1.8. Before everyone starts calling bull----, I probably used the phone a total of 1 hour over that period of time.

Normally, it lasts 14-18 hours with only Exchange mail and an hour of gaming (no facebook, social networks, etc.)

If I recall correctly, battery life was an issue with the gingerbread leaks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
I did the battery charging cycles as mentioned above and erased the battery stats last night. Now I'm down to 20% after 6 hours of light use. That's pretty much the same way as before. What did I do wrong?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Not a chance I'll say bull**** that is for sure. When leaving the device on Wifi battery life will DRASTICALLY increase. The radio in the device is what is eating it up. If you want to conserve even more battery I've found and don't ask me why if you actually turn off Mobile data and then turn Wifi on it will help even more.

Ran a test last night and with over 7hrs on Wifi it dropped on 5%
[Verizon Droid Charge] immaage:
I've gotten 24 hours with about 20% to spare going in and out of Wifi and 4G. I had 3 gmail accounts sync'd to the phone and I probably streamed about 20 minutes worth of music using Google Music. But, I probably used the phone for a combined total of 1.5 hours over that period, and it was a slow day, so I actually didn't get many emails.

I think I was using one of the Froyo Gummy ROMs.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 06ms6:
I don't think it's very fair to use custom ROMs and then complain about battery life. Was your battery life lower than 5 hours on the stock ROM? Did you even use the stock ROM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] doodlebro:
Try reading more than skimming the OP. He implied that he started stock there, and about 3 posts down said that it was ridiculous that even the stock ROM couldn't get 5 hours.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 06ms6:
My apologies, I misread his second to last sentence in the OP.

Either way, 5 hours is not normal and I wouldn't blame the Charge just yet. Not sure if you guys have official 2.3 yet (I'm a Thunderbolt owner myself), but I know the Froyo ROMs on the TB have a very noticeable increase in battery life compared to the Gingerbread leak builds.

I get about 6-8 hours of heavy use on my 2.3 ROM on the TB. Probably closer to 13+ with Froyo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] doodlebro:
Do you think that's just how GB is going to be or is there some mysterious glitch? I'm not happy with my battery life on my TB and I'm running DB 2.1 on imo's lean kernel and the OTA MR2.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 06ms6:
I think anything based off of a leak (especially a leak this old that hasn't turned official) should be considered unfinished (I'm running same setup as you).

I had very respectable battery life with Froyo builds and GB is supposed to improve upon Froyo in that department as far as general Android improvements go.

Sorry for the hijack Chargers.
[Verizon Droid Charge] witmore:
I have had my charge for about 3 weeks and have played around with it alot. I text and web browse alot at various levels of cell signal.

Day one. I took the phone off charge at 7:30am and by 11:30am it was at 15 % warning me to connect to my charger.

That morning i did probably a dozen speedtests including downloading a 1.1 gig movie through the media hub ( in 22 minutes). So on my way home i bought the charger and dock that came with the spare battery. But they suggested turning off the 4g and reverting to 3g and running a task killer.

Aside from not running speedtests and downloading multi gig files etc i tend to be able to run for 8-12 without needing to swap batteries. Yesterday after.rooting i was using the tether app and streaming netflix. And my battery was dead by 11:30 again although it was taken off charge at 11pm the night before and pretty much in standby since then until about 7:30.

Although that morning
[Verizon Droid Charge] crazyrawb:
I had the TB for about 3 months and after running in to a ton of problems (4 TB's, 2 - 3 battery life with no use, the list goes on) VW gave me the Samsung Charge. Now I can go a whole day without charging much phone and I still have about 40% battery life when I get home. And I'm talking about 15+ hours unplugged with med to high use. I'm running the stock Rom atm and live in the LA area.

I do have a question for u guys, does ur phone cycle 4g/3g/1x in some areas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I had the kernel that came with Humble (imnuts' OC/UV kernel). Ranged between 100mhz-1.5ghz (1.6 gave issues). -50mv across the board. I had it originally at -75, but it would randomly act up (3/4 of the time it was fine). Seems like it would crash every time i showed it to someone :). Now, I'm on 2.2. Gingerbread is good, but it has decreased battery life than the froyo builds due to it still being under heavy development (danalo likes to say it hasn't earned the Humble seal yet). Plus, there's no OC/UV kernel and no voodoo lagfix. Depends on what you want to do with the phone, but netflix is soo nice :) however I've been thinking about switching back to Froyo because as others have mentioned, the Gingerbread leak is still being developed by Samsung so the battery isn't quite optimized yet, while some of the custom Froyo builds have much more realistic battery life.

Edit: Heavy usage from 5:15 am to 12:45 am, battery now at 43%.

[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
22 hrs in counting! With 20% left on heavy usage using wifi and LauncherPro, display brightness low with black wallpaper, weather widget set to never auto sync, using pulse for my feeds, but only manual sync! Manual sync will save you alot more battery, typing all this with the charge still on 20%.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Yeah, that's why I read 39 reviews of the Charge before purchasing it.

As for the whole battery funk.. It's, well, funky. I haven't been able to figure out what causes battery gremlins or what definitely fixes the problem, but here are screenshots of my Charge's battery usage when it was great.

[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Btw heavy usage meaning Facebook, youtube videos, alot of texting. XDA updating Apps. It's at 10% now and uptime is at 23:30.
[Verizon Droid Charge] skipwagner:
I don't get two days but I get about 10 hours on 4g. If I use wifi I get more like 14. Engadget probably used the phone a lot less then you did
[Verizon Droid Charge] skipwagner:
Don't use a task killer. Ugh verizon reps are so dumb.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Thanks gonna give it a whirl starting at -50 I think.

I'm wiht on the GB stuff. I've tried them myself and am now back to Froyo and think I'm sticking with it until there is a final build leaked or done. These earlier leaks are not ready form prime time. And personally I'd rather have the Voodoo kernel so I can use Voodoo controls to get better sound out of the device. I use mine alot for streaming music and the GB builds sound like garbage.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jeffrey10000:
My experience is that Gingerbread will run a battery. On my old droidx I used to get good battery life. When the gingerbread ota was pushed, battery life sucked. I am thinking of rooting my charge and will probably stick with a froyo ROM because of battery issues. Battery life is not totally important to me. I got the Charge instead of the TB because of the screen and how it felt when I used it in the store.
