[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
"Anyone else regret having a Charge?"

No, but I do regret that threads like this exist.

AFAIK, all Verizon stores and all the kiosk vendors have a 14 day return policy. It would be in your best interest to take advantage of that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BankZZ:
Too late for that. I am planning on keeping it until we find out about the nexus prime on Oct 11th. If Vzw is going to get it, I will wait and get it on its release date. Otherwise I will get a bionic on Oct 12th.
[Verizon Droid Charge] syntrix:
User error is usually the culprit... from VZ store reps recommending task killers (huge no-no!), to people installing pr0n apps that literally suck the life out of the battery.

My bottom line: best phone ever, best battery life, best usability. Of course I went to ep1w a few weeks ago and the experience is even better!

I can vouch that even stock, it's certainly not the hardware or the stock rom :D:D:D:D
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
After comparing the two side by side rather extensively, IMHO swapping from a modified Charge to a Bionic would be a rather large downgrade........

[Verizon Droid Charge] anongeek:
battery life draining problem comes from downloaded junk. delete it all and see how much longer your battery lasts. especially if you have widgets.

then the rom is the second culprit. I was lucky enough to find Humble 1.51 link on the net and my battery life coming from gummy 2.0 has doubled. why you can't find that rom? he took (stole) the best from other developers and compiled it into his own.

not sure if humble 1.62 is the same, but I am soo happy after finding 1.51 after hearing the kang news.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ratchetjaw:
I am in the exact same boat. Have and love the Epic 4g Touch but wimax sucks balls. Loving lte on the Charge but it is a slight step down. But working well till the Prime gets here :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] BankZZ:
I disagree but I don't think its going to matter. It appears that VZW is going to get the nexus prime. I just hope I don't have to wait much longer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 91point6:
Overall, I would have to say that I regret it. I seem to have a love/hate relationship with this phone. It definitely doesn't work as a phone when I am at work and that is a good percentage of the time for me. Also has poor battery life which I have found to be a result of it's not being able to lock onto a consistent voice signal at work. I have had many VZW phones that did not have this problem. I have also tried every tweak, ROM, Modem, battery calibration method mentioned here and none of it makes any diff. This is my second DC, the first one did the same thing. It has a great screen tho. Pretty much doesn't matter if I can't use the thing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
sucks that you're having those problems, I had the same thing with the Fascinate before this... had to get 3 replacements till I got one that was somewhat usable then took the chance to trade up to the Charge and I gotta say I have no regrets

[HTC EVO 3D] CSpoonemore:
Ok I just bought this evolution 3d from somebody then I went into the hboot to see the version. And at the top it says looked in a hot pink picture. I will post a pic in a min. Please any info would help.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jcki4:
So what the question??
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
That just means the bootloader is locked so you can't flash updates or write to /system. Every Evo 3D ships locked.

The only way to unlock it is by using revolutionary, or for HBOOT 1.50, the HTC tool which doesn't give you a full unlock. Generally, if you don't know what it means if it is locked, you don't need to unlock it.
[HTC EVO 3D] CSpoonemore:
No I know what it means I've been on a rooted evo. Just the hot pink hboot threw me off.

[Defy General] szypd:
Hello everyone,

First of all I apologize for any errors that may have, I'm from Argentina and I can not speak English.

I have a question about the CM7, I have the latest nightly, that of September 23: cm7-110923-0710-nightly-Jordan.zip.

I like all of the mod, except the format with photos and videos to be saved: IMG_YearMonthDay_HourMinuteSecond

I wonder if something can be changed by modifying binaries: Year-Month-Day, so that it is more verbose.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perperz:
I can't decide which one to instal

MIUI Galnet 1.9.9

or MIUI 1.9.26

so i'm asking you from your own experience.

which one is faster?

which one has less bugs?

thank you :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
There's bmarko's version and galnet's version... flip a coin, heads is bmarko's and tails is galnet's.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teio:
If you want samsung apps, go for galnet, if you don't need them, go bmarkos...

Although, my personal opinion is that you can install samsung apps on bmarkos one with a flashable zip, and bmarkos one was less buggy than galnet last time I checked...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
that's false information...galnet has returned to full miui (no more samsung framework/apps)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayantSparda:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Don't listen to this guy, he obviously didn't install it properly.

Galnet's rom is the best MIUI rom out there.

MIUI is very customisable, lots of options and has a great GUI

iPhone like. depends on your preference!

p.s. I installed galnet yesterday, and the torch kept force closing...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perperz:
The most thing that matters to me is the speed.

which one is faster? or they both same?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Torch is currently bugged in galnet (says so in the changelog).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winwiz:
torch works in bmarko's rom :p ;) :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perperz:
what is torch?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Flashlight app, but with miui if you hold the home button at the lockscreen it automatically launches the app and turns the led on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilouboy:
+1 torch

Yes no need the apps torch in miui rom home buttom 5 sec and the light glow ^^

i've test both and i like bmarko 's one but really it's difficult to select one (test yourself) both are at in develloppement no stable real release for now..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coedy:
What about the Italian build? worth considering?

that is also 1.9.26 (I think?) It was mentioned in the later pages of Bmarko's thread.

Once I get bored of Bmarko's Ill give the Italian build a go I think, Then give Galnet a go once Im bored of that (or if I find any deal breaker bugs).

I seem to be using the torch a lot (well, 3 times) in the 24 hours Ive used Bmarko's rom just because I have it available to me (coming from the HTC Hero [with no led flash] its helped a lot when I had to check a cable on my pc under the desk, etc etc) so Ill leave off Galnet for now.

That and the heating up issue.. (yes I know "he didnt install it right", but seems to be a lot of people that have the same issue and most swear blind they have..)

Also I really like the stock browser, Which Galnet doesn't seem to have (not tried the replacement yet though.)

The only bug people have mentioned about the Italian one is the broken video recording which can be fixed by pushing Bmarko's file over to it.

(and BT issues all the other ones seem to have).

Loving MIUI and the work thats going into it from the devs though, Cant go back to the other roms now! :D

Does galnet one still have the Samsung touchwiz crap?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
no
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
I have tested MIUI 1.9.16 and 1.9.23, Galnet MIUI 1.9.9 (was quite good, no overheating, no significant more drain), Galnet MIUI 1.9.16 (and CM7, Litening, Leomar Revolution).

MIUI fascinates me, but I returned to a stock based custom ROM (Lemoar Revolution 2.6).

Please don't get me wrong, MIUI is very fascinating, but why would I need MIUI on a S2?

(On some LG or HTC or Motorola devices it makes sense, because of missing updates)

Ok. if I desperately need iOS-near look and feel in the settings I have to go for MIUI. But all the apps, widgets etc. are still the same. With a good launcher I can also customize nearly everything and can get hundreds of free themes (e.g. ADW Launcher EX, Go Launcher etc.).

In the stock based ROM everything works perfectly (camera, audio, video, BT, apps). In MIUI (or CM7) I have to accept many issues (e.g. BT audio for handsfree sets, languages, keyboard, stability).

What are the functional advantages of MIUI compared to a good optimized stock based custom ROM e.g. Leomar Revolution?

Please again, this is not a campaign against MIUI (I couldn't do that), but makes it sense? I could ask the same question for CM7?

OK one answer would be: If no one would care, we haven't had MIUI or CyanogenMod for older devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perperz:
I thought about it before, and now you confirmed my thought.

Samsung Galaxy S2 is so fast that you don't need ROM at all.

The ROM just makes your life harder and risks the phone.

the only adventege of the ROM is the interface.

When ROMs will become less buggy and more stable, and I will need faster performence I will instal ROM.

And i didn't understand yet which ROM is faster :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
Theming your ROM is another advantage of rooting your phone.. since you risk it already only by the action of rooting (because you cant live without Titanium Backup, who can??), it's kinda worth risk also for flash up roms.

Nowdays totally brick a phone is more harder than some ppl can think.

Usually any kind of "brik" (let's call semi brik) can be solved.

Anyway, MIUI is worth on the S2 because is a lot faster than stock one (except batista latest, it's pure lightning) and looks a lot better :P

And no app drawer is <3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perperz:
Haha i kinda like the app drawer :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Advantages (for me anyway) to using GalnetMIUI as opposed to a stock based ROM:

- Prettier. Not only does it have more themes, they also look alot better and more professional. And I tried alooot of samsung stock themes.

- More customizable, and also customization made easy. The way the theme menu handles everything, from wallpaper to boot anim directly without flashing zip files or having to reboot is awesome.

- As battery efficient (varies, based on releases) as most ROMs, much better than stock (again, for me).

- Great apps like the File Explorer that I like alot, the 4 way reboot menu which is nicely made, and the stock MIUI Launcher that looks great, is customizable as much as any other, and really smooth and fast compared to ADW or Go Launcher for example (for me anyway).

- Really great support directly from the Galnet team on their forums. They answer every question, discuss every topic.

- Frequent releases/updates (weekly, same as MIUI).

- An overall faster/smoother look and feel for everything.

- Using GalnetMIUI removed any need for me to use apps like Go SMS Pro or another dialer or new contacts app. Everything looks great and everything is themeable in this rom.

- Awesome lockscreen. Maybe not as easily customizable as widgetlocker but hey, it's free and is really easy to theme (tons of beautiful themes out there for it).

- Great sound quality, hands down. I even formatted everything to install the KI3 2.3.5 update since people were saying the sound is better, but Galnet MIUI + DSP Manager + PowerAMP is still a winning combo for me, after testing.

- Backup application that comes free with MIUI rom and can back up your whole phone as well as Titanium Backup can do.

- A very large community for MIUI, with themes (mostly) compatible across all ROMs no matter for which phone, makes any MIUI based rom easily number 1 in terms of sheer amount of goodies you can find to customize the rom. I love it.

That's about all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's plenty more to say x)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perperz:
OMG man, thank you so much!

you helped me a lot!

I'm going now to install the ROM.

Wish me luck (my first ROM installation).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
@m2smoe

Thanks a lot for your constructive and detailed answer. I think you have understood my question in the right way.

I did not test the sound quality of MIUI. I have to check this again. :) Because I am very disappointed about the sound quality of the S2 (e.g. compared to an ipod 4 or very simple Samsung player, I am an audiophile hifi enthusiast).

But from what I understand, it is more a gut decision than a rational decision especially with MIUI. That's what fascinates me about MIUI too - it is just nice and smooth.

Maybe a good optimized stock based custom ROM like e.g. Leomar Revolution, is superior from a functional point of view but it has not the charm of a Galnet MIUI system.

Understood! Thanks again.

Edit:

Maybe I made a mistake not to live some time with Galnet MIUI.

I have tested it for two or three days. I think I need more experience, more time with this ROM to judge.

:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Glad I could be of help ^^

For those who want an app launcher, why not make your own in MIUI? Create a new folder, put all your apps in it, and slide it to the bottom dock. Sure, it won't be as customizable (screen anims) as other launchers, but you can still sort by name or usage which is good enough for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
As a renewed Galnet MIUI beginner :)

Would you recommend to start with the stable release or start even with the weekly?

Is it possible to update Galnet releases (e.g. stable to weekle and back) without a full wipe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Yes you can update back and forth between releases, so long as they don't specify it needs a full wipe you're ok.

I'm using weekly, because it has the stock MIUI browser which I prefer over the Maxthon browser, and also CM7's kernel, which for me is better than XCell's (battery life wise).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
Thanks again.

My S2 has this (well known) display problem/yellowish left side problem which has been fixed with stock firmware KH3 etc. With the stable release of Galnet MIUI that problem does not appear also. With CM7 or Weekly Galnet this problem still exist and has not been fixed (very good visible at dark gray background and low display levels).

The display problem is very annoying and there are a lot of S2 owners who suffer from that problem. That's why I could not stay with CM7 also. I would have to stay with stable Galnet MIUI as long as they do not change the kernel to CM7 as a standard kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Actually I'm hoping that they give us users some choice as far as kernel is concerned in the future releases. It seems different kernels work differently depending on each users' device and the use made of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Toro:
I really like MIUI, for me it's the best ROM so far. The only problem is, that it has some things, which don't work well...so I want to go back to Stock ROM until a "bugfree and stable" ROM comes out. MIUI is the future :)

So, how can I install the original ROM? I actually have MIUI 1.9.16 on my Samsung Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwazeer1:
After flashing 1.9.23 stabel version yesterday i get one big problem that when i try to open phone by pressing home button some time my phone not open in one attempt and after trying 2 or 3 times its open Any solution? Please helpppppppppppppppp.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
I installed Galnet MIUI weekly 1.9.23 yesterday evening, restored some selected apps (apps only, without data restore, Angry Birds, Root Explorer, Jorte, K9, GPS Test etc.) from a titanium backup.

I was playing around a bit, installed some apps etc. Unfortunately I had several reboots (5 or 6 at browser startup, jorte, K9 mail, camera) and some FCs. As said, because of the CM7 kernel, the yellowish tint problem was not fixed (as it is with stock ROM KH3 and current stable Galnet), but I wanted to test it.

Then I installed Galnet MIUI stable 2.9.23 (no full wipe).

I noticed one reboot and some FCs (wetter.com, Angry Birds, Browser, Jorte). I flashed again this morning (no full wipe) and had another reboot and FC.

It is so sad, I like Galnet MIUI very much, so smooth and fast, GPS fix is incredible.

Stable release seems to be much less energy efficient than weekly release with CM7 kernel, but of course it is hard to say after that short time of testing.

Is this instability (sporadic reboots, FCs) normal at the current state of development?

Or should I try another full wipe and flash again?

I never had such problems with stock or Leomar's custom stock ROM 2.6 KH3.

Edit:

Is it o.k. to use the Extended Settings MOD (to suppress carrier logo/text)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
I had to many stability problems even with stable Galnet's MIUI 2.9.23.

It is so sad. What a nice and smooth ROM this is.

I went back to the stock based custom rom: Leomar's Revolution ROM 2.6 KH3. Leomar will release the V2.7 with stock KI3 (2.3.5) very soon. Leo is a great developer and also very supportive.

Not so nice, customizable and smooth as Galnet's MIUI but rock solid stable, all S2 functions supported, very good battery efficiency and good customizable via JKay's Mods and Leomar's Kitchen App.

I will miss Galnet's MIUI, but maybe I will come back at a later stage of development.

I am looking forward. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engwee:
well try bmarko's version of miui, for me it's stable, but it will lack updates, anyway maybe it is what you're looking for
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
Thanks, but bmarko quit shared MIUI development.

I installed Leomar's 2.7 XXKI3 (Android 2.3.5) stock based custom ROM (I already had 2.6 before). Works absolute great!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engwee:
I know he quit, I said that as well, but the rom is still there for you to try and like I said it's stable

I'm not really a fan of updating rom from day to day, don't know about you though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
For the record, I've been running the weekly Galnet release since its been out and I've had zero problems, no FCs, no battery drain, everything works fine.

If you're getting those Qu@rk, it's undoubtedly because of Titanium Backup. If you do a full wipe, /system format, /sdcard format, remove your microSD card if you have one in there, and then flash Galnet, you should have no problems. That's what I did and everything works fine for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I had a lot of FCs and some reboots.

I thought it would be something like that. It was my first try using Titanium Backup.

I always have done a full-wipe before testing every ROM and installed manually every app I needed via WLAN/Market and I never had such problems. I have about 30 apps, so no big deal to do that manually and some you don't need anymore with Galnet MIUI. :)

So, I will try again soon. ;)

MIUI is so fascinating, I can't help myself. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2smoe:
Personally, I think this ROM is worth having to reinstall everything! As long as you're going to stick with this ROM, you can use the MIUI backup if ever a new release requires a full wipe so you won't have to reinstall everything again. Of course, if you're planning on switching very often from a samsung based rom to MIUI, then it's going to be alot of work. Maybe you could do this:

- Flash a stock rom, install your apps, make a full backup with Titanium Backup and copy the Titanium Backup folder from the root of /sdcard to your computer

- Flash Galnet, install your apps, make a full backup with MIUI Backup and copy the backup file from /sdcard/MIUI/backup/AllBackup to your computer.

This way you'll be able to switch between roms and keep your apps, doing a restore with Titanium Backup when you're on a samsung rom, and using MIUI backup restore for when you switch to MIUI.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qu@rk:
Great advice - thanks again. :)
