[Verizon Droid Charge] AdamOutler:
OK.. it would appear that we have UnBrickable mod working. The device is bricked, but we have the expected UART output for booting. It would appear that it is bypassing the boot sequence alltogether for some reason. It sees that the computer is connected, but it is not allowing boot from USB right now. it's as though the power button were being pressed and the device is just simply booting up.

via UART, I can see this as soon as USB is plugged in:

������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Uart negotiation Error

Enumeration TimeOut Error

Then here comes the boot sequence right after ending in an invalid SBL boot. It looks like the last thing it did was try to pull data from the partition table and failed.

Can anyone tell me if it is normal for the Droid Charge to just boot right up as soon as battery is put in the device? Maybe there is some key combo I should look at? I'm a droid charge noob.

It's doing what it should and it's not asking for an OTG cable which means it sees USB plugged in. For some reason it's just booting. What are all the known key combinations I should try?
[Verizon Droid Charge] AdamOutler:
Ok, the final piece of this puzzle lies in the USB OTG controller. If anyone has any information about the USB On-The-Go controller on the Droid Charge, it would help!

this bit here says the mod was done properly and it's expecting a upload of the HIBL

������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Uart negotiation Error

Enumeration TimeOut Error

The question is where to upload. We need information on the USB OTG controller on the Droid Charge. I have suspicion about the HDMI port or the pads on the back of the device playing a role in this.

again: the above code block says the mod is working. We just need to figure out WHERE it's working.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rebellos:
It's most likely matter of different from SGS and Wave series USB/UART multiplexer. Can you guys get Service Manual for Charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] connexion2005:
If anyone out there has access to Samsung service manuals at all it would be a massive help to get in touch with either Adam, Rebellos or myself... :)

How do I delete the /Voodoo folder on the SD card?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
You have to be rooted, then use Root explorer.

Cranky...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hydrodynamic:
okay thankyou :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
I just delete it with windows.

Even though folder always reappear after boot up, i never had boot loops(touchwood)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
anyways im getting an infuse pretty soon(2 -3 days), coming from a samsung captivate.

anyways what im wondering is, is this phone pretty safe to flash? (how high are bricking odds)

is there an easy way to flash back to stock in case i have to warranty replace the phone?

any pretty much stock gb rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Next to impossible to hardbrick. Bootloaders are fairly well protected from damage.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
Insanely hard to permanently brick.

Pretty sure you can go back to stock if you need to.

Infused is close enough to stock GB for me.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
awesome thanks you guys
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
also wondering if the gps works pretty decently?

im coming from a samsung captivate which was a nightmare in that regard lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
GPS is fine on Froyo, on Gigerbread it sucks huge donkey dong. I have found a way to fix it though. ;)

From XDA App on Infused v2.1.0 OCed to 1.6 GHz
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
howd you fix it? im probably going to run infused rom on mine as well

isnt official gb supposed to be released for this asap?

hopefully building off that improves everything a bit more
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
I made a thread on how to fix gps,its in general or just Vito my name and search

And I'm using infused gb love it and yea att says were getting it soon but we will see
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
My experiences are just the opposite in terms of GPS. It's flaky and inconsistent and drops lock all the time in Froyo, it's fairly consistent without any fixes or tweaks in every GB ROM I've tried.

Only issue is that it seems that for the first 5-10 minutes after locking there will sometimes be an offset in the position fix. It was much worse in Froyo. My guess is that the AGPS system is truncating the precision of some of the satellite orbit info, causing position error until the real ephemerides come down from the sat.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
yeah i doubt itd be worse then the captivate considering lol. it would pretty much refuse o lock gps at all stock, with roms it varied greatly, at best it would lock decently.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
Tyshemi, I tried your fix and it didn't work for me. However, I did find another method that worked for me.

From XDA App on Infused v2.1.0 OCed to 1.6 GHz
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DynamicRam:
GPS works as it should on GB , CM7 for me
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
No matter what I've done that's the only fix that helped me. You do have to let it lock, and make sure you change the settings and accuracy...etc.....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
Just posted my fix in the General section. The only thing that worked for me.

From XDA App on Infused v2.1.0 OCed to 1.6 GHz
[Samsung Infuse 4G] baudilus:
I also came from a Captivate that I dropped and broke the screen.

Compared to that, the GPS is awesome. Takes about two or three seconds for me to get a 25m lock.

I'm running Infused 2.1.0.

Why get an Infuse now? The Galaxy S2 is only 1-2 weeks away; I'm returning my Infuse for the GS2 (id the price is the same). Even if you don't want the GS2, the Infuse price MAY drop when the GS2 is out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
actually my captivate stopped working and it out of the 1 yr warranty, so im paying $125 through insurance and they were out of captivate so i got sent an infuse instead.

which im actually pretty happy about lol

i dont have an upgrade for about 7-8 months, but ill save that for a high end lte phone
[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
I updated my phone to Bell Gingerbread 2.3.4 last week but it seems to me Froyo was much more responsive and was simply... better!

Here are the problems I've been dealing with:

-Scrolling the front pages from left to right on the home screens are not as fluid and the screen touch response seems it has a certain delay compared to Froyo.

-In the Music app, when you are in an Artist's album and you want to go back to the previous page (by clicking the back button), it directs you straight to the first artist on your list.

-The battery runs out faster

-The phone always has trouble getting 3G data connection when it enters an area that has network after being in an area without it.

-Updating apps from the market is soooo much slower than it used to be and it always messes up because the same app is downloading 3, 4, 5 times simultaneously...

-In the Gallery app, when in Landscape mode, let's say you scroll from right to left, you have to wait till the animation stops so that you scroll back the other way... If it hasn't stopped scrolling, it will not respond by swiping the other way.

-The start-up takes FOREVER to load and it always gets stuck about a minute or two in that "Dual-core Technology" logo...

-When calling someone, if you press the power button to avoid false contact between your face and the screen, when you finish talking and you want to press "End Call", you have to push the power button once more to re-open the screen.

I understand all those points are minor problems, but they're numerous and it upsets me that a phone with this much hardware capability isn't getting the proper update. I dunno, I just want to know if you guys have been dealing these problems as well, and if you know what I can do to fix them, it would be great!

Thanks in advance!!
[Atrix 4G General] psolovyov:
the most upsetting one is the battery life. I could go for 2-3 days without recharging the phone. Now I can barely do 1 day. And I'm a really light user. I dont have data plan and just use wi-fi where availiable. I think its super weird that this update made the phone worse.

The only saving grace is the addition of zoom on camera and separate notification cancel. Thats about it.
[Atrix 4G General] TheMan0790:
I have not been facing any of these issues. For the battery, completely drain the battery until it dies and then charge it to 100% without unplugging it. Also, if you are a light user and are not on the phone all the time, I suggest using Maximum Battery Saver as the battery mode. Right now, I am running Bell GB with both suggestions, have 40% battery remaining and have been on the phone for over 16 hours on medium usage. I actually like the update quite a bit.
[Atrix 4G General] psolovyov:
thanks I'll drain it today.
[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
Does anyone else have these issues aswell? What can I do to fix them??
[Atrix 4G General] DOOOLY:
How long are you suppose to get with the ATRIX battery.
[Atrix 4G General] bimmerboii:
Doing a factory data reset after an upgrade fixes 99% of the problems
[Atrix 4G General] hem.acharya:
even i have bitter experience with GB update.especially because battery goes down very fast. its lasts half the time it used to when i had Froyo.

i have tried many roms and drained battery couple of times as well. no help . i think i will go back to froyo
[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
How sure are you?? Can you suggest a good backup app?
[Atrix 4G General] Zero-K:
It's common knowledge. A lot of cache/files get left behind after an update that are no longer needed, or old copies when it should have new ones.

It's always recommended after you do an update from either OTA or Custom Rom that you do a factory reset to clear out any old data that might cause issues.

Titanium is one of the best. Doesn't backup your SMS though, so you'll need another app for that. And only restore the apps you've downloaded and their data. Don't restore any system apps or you'll be back in the same situation or worse.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
If Titanium is "one of the best" then what's better?... (unless you are talking about Nandroid)
[Atrix 4G General] bimmerboii:
For backing up sms, call logs, contacts, bookmarks etc i use mybackup pro.

I dont back up my apps i just redownload them one by one as i prefer doing fresh install on a new system upgrade
[Atrix 4G General] J252:
...and clear any security settings (fingerprint, screen lock etc) and don't restore data relating to those. I make a mess of my phone just doing a blind batch "restore all apps and data" in TB.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Don't use "system" backup feature on TiBu unless you are going back to the exact same ROM...

[LG Optimus 3D] MoreYummy:
LG Optimus 3D or HTC Evo 3D?

Which one is better?
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
How do you plan to use your phone?

How important is the 3D feature to you?
[LG Optimus 3D] MoreYummy:
Not really sure about 3D features, since i havent tried it.

But if 3D looks good, i want to use 3D...

Which phone can run 3D smoothest, and camera quality is important.
[LG Optimus 3D] smackdownn:
i was in the same position like u..if ur talking about smoothness OPTIMUS 3D wins..right nw its only 2.2 it can still beat evo 3d in performance but when 2.3 comes out its going to do wonders..the camera in 3vo is gud according to many people...and in 3D perspective the O3D wins for sure..
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Well, I thought of 3D as a gimmick before I got it. This was mostly because of me seeing 3D effects on the 3DS. I wanted the phone for the processor and that Tri-Dual architecture that LG was advertising about. After I got it though, I realized that 3D wasn't a gimmick, but a extended optional feature of the phone.

I compared the 3D of the optimus with a friend's Evo3D and I can say that the 3D on the optimus is more... realistic. It just pops out more and easier to look at.

Furthermore, if you really want to give 3D a try, I would suggest the Optimus 3D over the Evo 3D just because of more 3D content that is offered. Truth is, LG put a lot more work in making the Optimus 3D a 3D phone.

From personal opinions, it appears that LG made the Optimus 3D as a 3D phone that is capable of being used as a 2D phone. While HTC made a 2D phone with 3D capabilities.

That's how it appears to be because it looks like they took different approaches to it.

Due to this, if you wanted to try a 3D phone, I would suggest the Optimus 3D.

In terms of smoothness, I've never felt a phone as smooth as the Optimus 3D using stock rom and launcher. I'm pretty sure the OMAP Processor and Dual Channel Memory plays a part in this. What impressed me the most was that it was this smooth in Froyo.

For the Evo3D, I can't give much opinions in terms of smoothness because the Evo3D I looked at was already bloated up with apps that my friend downloaded.

Camera quality is not too great on the Optimus 3D. I can not comment about the Evo 3D camera, but I can tell you about the Optimus 3D one. I find the image quality to be lacking. Photos have a lot of noise to them and they appear to be... whitened. However, I believe everyone is waiting for the camera update to come. Hopefully it'll fix the quality. In the meantime, I'm making due with 3rd party camera apps. 3D pictures however, turn out pretty well.
